After Yuan Shao''s death, factional disputes in Hebei intensified.
Yuan Tan was not satisfied with Yuan Shang''s succession to the top general, otherwise he would not lose yuan Shang''s face in front of himself. After all, Yuan Shang was already the leader of Hebei. Yuan Tan''s move was almost to say "I''m not satisfied".
Once there is no worry about foreign aggression, it is time for civil strife. I just don''t know if there will be a big fight?
Zhuge Liang thought, so it seems that the next plan can be carried out.
When he returned to Zhencheng camp, Zhuge Liang met his tricks, reported the achievements of his trip and gave his own conclusion.
Then the trick summoned all the counselors to discuss countermeasures.
"Well, since everyone thinks it''s feasible, let''s do it!" The trick said, "after three years of war, Yuan Shao died. There are still some achievements. Let''s take a rest for a while and let everyone slow down." Tricks are humane to all.
Civil strife is always more dangerous than foreign aggression. Historical Cao Cao saw this, so he took the initiative to withdraw his troops and let the two brothers make trouble. Finally, they broke down one by one and captured the four prefectures of Hebei.
Seeing that Yuan Shao died of illness, the trick naturally played this kind of mind.
Yuan Shao, the third Duke of the fourth generation, enjoys great prestige and has been operating in Hebei for ten years. Even if he fails twice, he can stand it. Otherwise, why did Cao Cao spend seven or eight years to pacify the four prefectures of Hebei after Guandu?
Even if the strength of the trick is much stronger than that of Cao Cao in history, even if Yuan Shao wants to really occupy the four states, he has to waste a lot of time. It''s better to let them mess up first.
That''s why they sent people to mourn and observe the current situation of civil and military affairs in Hebei. Will there be disputes after they withdraw from the army?
After all, compared with history, Yecheng has more imperial courts. What if Yuan Tan and Yuan don''t fight yet, but compete for power?
Zhuge Liang''s observation strengthened his determination to withdraw from the army.
So, the day after Zhuge Liang came back, there was news that the riding general was angry because Yecheng rudely refused his request and was ready to attack Puyang camp again.
Sure enough, two days later, the army began to gather again, and then attacked Puyang camp again.
Yuan Shao''s body was stored in the camp. In the face of the looting Jingzhou army, the Hebei army took the lead, killed the enemy and finally defeated the Jingzhou army again.
This time, the Jingzhou army lost more, 70000 people.
Two robberies took advantage of the fire, not only did not work, but lost more than the previous year, which made rumors in the camp. Was the riding general stunned by the continuous wars and become arrogant?
This made the rumored tricks more "angry" and several times angrily denounced the general of the unification army.
Then, he sent a letter to Puyang camp and told yuan Shang to let them go in the face of Yuan Shao. After he recaptured Puyang camp, he would return to Xiangyang and let yuan Shang be careful. He would not give up and would win again at any time.
……
"General Liu Kun has been subdued. The losses in the two world wars exceeded the previous year. Even if he didn''t hurt his muscles and bones, it was enough to hurt him. He is ready to withdraw."
In Puyang Daying, Yuan Shang received a letter of threat from a strange plan, called the civil and military affairs to discuss the matter, and took the lead in opening up every discipline.
"It does mean that, but I have to guard against it!" Xu you said.
"In any case, the first priority is to transport the coffin of the general back for burial." Guo Tu said, "in addition, after the death of the great general, do you want to change the ministers in the court? The one on the throne has been dishonest recently."
"Return is inevitable, but someone must stay in case Liu Kun takes the opportunity to fight again." Feng Ji said, "the eldest childe has been in battle for a long time and his subordinates are elite. It''s better to stay behind to ensure the safety of the imperial court."
"The eldest son is the eldest son. How can he not be around when his father dies?" Xin Ping retorted, "it''s better for general quyi to stay. Yuantu Duozhi just stays to help."
"General Yan Liang is the most famous general of our army. If you don''t let him stay, it will frighten Liu Kun." Feng Ji retorted.
Several generals under Yuan Shao''s command, Qu Yi, who recognized his high achievements, always ignored everyone and only listened to Yuan Shao''s orders. After Yuan Shao''s death, he immediately surrendered to his successor general yuan Shang.
In this world, Yuan Shao didn''t kill him because of his high merit and pride. He still lives well. He is still the first general of Jin level magical realm under Yuan Shao.
Yan Liang and Wen Chou fought with Yuan Shao in their early years, but they were familiar with Yuan Tan and tended to Yuan Tan. However, they did not completely fall to Yuan Tan, and Yuan Shang was also courting them, but they still had doubts and had not made a final decision.
Zhang Ying and Gao Lan were promoted because they had a low status before. They were familiar with Yuan Shang who was with Yuan Shao.
As for the other generals, they have their own tendencies. During this period, both Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang are trying to win over the generals in the army.
Tian Feng looked at all this and mourned in his heart.
Before the general was buried, he began to fight.
He was a little discouraged at this moment.
If the senior general had decided to be the son of the world early, there would not have been such a dispute. It is a pity that the senior general has been indecisive and delayed making a decision, so that in the end, he died without even saying his last words.
"Did Liu Kun choose to withdraw from the army because he saw this? The reason for withdrawing from the army in exchange for the lives of more than 100000 people is to let the tragic disaster of brotherhood happen, and he will clean up the mess again? "
Thinking of this, Tian Feng turned pale and looked up. Suddenly, he found that Ju Fu was looking at himself, the same look in a trance.
I was about to say my guess, but I was stopped.
Looking at the quarrelling people, Tian Feng sighed and stopped insisting.
It''s not that there are no smart people present. Even if they can''t think of it for a moment, they will think of it. The reason why they don''t mention it is that they have their own interests.
If you really say it here, there will be more people who offend. Can you still stay in the yuan family?
Speculation is false, alienating brotherhood; What if the guess is true? It''s not easy to let one of the two give up?
No one is willing to give up his power.
Tian Feng didn''t say a word. At the end of the argument, no one could convince anyone. I don''t know who brought up Liu Bei later. Finally, he decided to let Liu Bei stay with others and garrison Li Yang.
Liyang is already in the north of the river.
……
A few days later, Yuan Shang evacuated Puyang camp and returned to Hebei, leaving Liu Bei to guard Liyang. Tian Feng asked for help.
The trick took the opportunity to enter Puyang and captured the place that had been looking forward to for three years without a single soldier.
Then, in the voice of the generals, the universe was arbitrary and decided to return to the dynasty.
For three years, children can make soy sauce. He hasn''t gone back to see it!
