Three Kingdoms: I, the Emperor of Wei, am loyal and pure!

Jizhou, Yecheng.

During this time, with the efforts of Shen Pei Fengji and the mediation of Xin Ping, Chen Lin and others, the Yuan brothers finally stopped fighting.

This is not only because there is a powerful enemy of the Cao family, but also because in a short period of time, neither side will be able to overwhelm the other.

Finally, the Yuan brothers reached a peace agreement, and Yuan Shang took control of Yecheng and became the lord of Hebei.

Yuan Tan led his troops to garrison in Liyang, south of Yecheng and on the north bank of the Yellow River, to defend Yecheng.

The food, grass, military supplies, weapons and armor losses needed by Yuan Tan were all allocated and supported by Yuan Shang in Yecheng.

As a result, the two brothers stopped temporarily.

By the way, the rebel forces near Jizhou, the self-reliant thieves and thieves Qu Shuai, etc. were either defeated or incorporated.

Finally, before the ice floes on the Yellow River melted, the situation in Jizhou was generally stabilized.

After all, the Yuan brothers still have more than 400,000 soldiers and horses in their hands. This is the"740" family fortune left by Yuan Shao.

Although the Hebei army was defeated by Cao Jun, it was still very easy to quell some rebellions.

As for the land of Qingzhou, Yuan Tan's confidant, Qingzhou Biejia Wang Xiu, led the state and county troops to defend the city.

In the place of Bingzhou, the former Hedong governor Guo Yuan, a confidant of the new owner Yuan Shang, temporarily took over the post of governor of Bingzhou.

As for Youzhou, Yan Rou, the captain of the Wuhuan School, has already shown his banner and surrendered to the Xudu court.

Without Yan Rou's restraint, Gongsun Zan even managed to get out of the siege, intending to take advantage of the situation to regroup.

Fortunately, Yuan Shang sent someone to Liaodong at the right time, and persuaded Gongsun Du, the prefect of Liaodong, with the principle that his lips were dying and his teeth were cold.

Now, Gongsun Du has sent troops to fight with the three families of Yan Rou and Gongsun Zan in the northern border of Youzhou.

This can be regarded as eliminating the worries of the Yuan brothers in the north.

This allowed them to fully defend Cao's army from heading north.

Although the Yuan brothers refused to give in to each other when it came to competing for the throne, they were still slightly better than Liu Biao's second son.

At least you know how to put aside your disputes and fight against foreign enemies together before outsiders attack.

In the original history, Yuan Shao lost the battle of Guandu in the fifth year of Jian'an. After Yuan Shao died of illness in the seventh year of Jian'an, Cao Cao began to attack the Yuan brothers. During the period, there were victories and defeats for each other. They fought for several years before taking Yecheng.

Then it took another two years, the twelfth year of Jian'an, before all the Yuan brothers were finally eliminated and Hebei was unified.

This shows that although the Yuan brothers were unbearable, they still managed to survive with the help of some of Yuan Shao's old team members.

At this time, Yuan Shang had just made peace with Yuan Tan and stabilized the situation in the four states, when he suddenly received a military report from Yuan Tan in Liyang in the south.

It is claimed that Cao Jun has recently begun to mobilize troops and resources in Xudu and Yuzhou to prepare for the Northern Expedition and the Southern Expedition.

This made young Yuan Shang feel nervous.

Although it had been known for a long time that Cao's army would march northward in the morning and evening after the beginning of spring.

But at this time, he received the news that Cao's army had begun to mobilize, which still inevitably made him worried.

Mainly because of the name of Cao Cao's son, General Cao Ang, Yuan Shang and everyone in Hebei were cast a psychological shadow!

To be precise, it's more than just a psychological shadow.

The name of Cao Ang and Cao Zixiu is like a big mountain, weighing on the hearts of the monarchs and ministers of Hebei, reminding them all the time of the tragic situation when the former lord Yuan Shao was defeated by Jujube and was scolded to death by Cao Ang in front of the battle array!

"My lord, Cao's army must have come with the intention of destroying Hebei in one battle.

Although the eldest son has hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, they are probably far inferior to Cao's army.

Please also ask the lord to mobilize reinforcements and increase the garrison in Liyang!"

After Yuan Tan's men reported the news of Cao's army's movements, they continued to ask for help.

Although Yuan Shang was young, he did not immediately agree, but frowned slightly.

Yuan Shang was loved by Yuan Shao. He is naturally smart, but only a little clever.

Now that he knows that Cao Jun is a formidable enemy, he should strengthen Liyang's defense as much as possible so that Cao Jun cannot cross the river, and then Yecheng will be safe.

But he is also afraid of his elder brother Yuan Tan, and worries that he will never cross the river. After Yecheng sends reinforcements, his eldest brother will directly take advantage of the situation and take it into his own hands.

Yuan Tan already has soldiers and horses from Qingzhou and soldiers drawn by Guo Tu under his command.

If he takes the opportunity to swallow up the reinforcements sent by Yuan Shang, then the power will be It will grow rapidly!

By that time, even if he can block Cao Jun and repel Cao Jun's offensive, it will actually increase his eldest brother's power and reputation.

Then, if Yuan Tan, who is powerful, returns to seize the throne, Yuan Shang will His position may not be guaranteed!

But Yuan Shang also knows that it will not work if he does not send reinforcements to his eldest brother.

If Yuan Tan cannot stop Cao Jun, he will only have two options: run away or surrender. (See For exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

No matter which choice you make, Cao's army will march straight in and attack Ye City!

Yuan Shang still has to face Cao's army directly and be in danger.

So, after thinking for a moment, Yuan Shang came up with an idea:"Go back and tell my brother that I will personally lead 150,000 troops to Liyang for support!

After sending away Yuan Tan's envoy, Yuan Shang looked at his minister Shen Pei:"Sir, I personally led the troops to Liyang. Mr. Lao will be guarding Yecheng here!"

All matters concerning food, grass and military supplies are also entrusted to Mr."

Shen Pei is a smart man. He will naturally understand Yuan Shang's explanation........

So I happily agreed.

Although the power in Hebei is not as strong as it was last year, Shen Pei has become the number one auxiliary minister in Hebei.

After all, the three people, Tian Feng, Ju, Xu You, who were originally at odds with Shen Pei, either surrendered to Cao Ang, or were captured and placed under house arrest in Cao Ang's camp.

Guo Tu, who was originally an accomplice of Shen Pei, ran to help Yuan Tan.

Feng Jiyou and Shen are matched, they are close friends, and they wear a pair of trousers.

Therefore, in all affairs in Yecheng, Yuan Shang was assisted by Shen Pei and Feng Ji.

Among them, Shen Pei is in charge of internal affairs and is in charge of internal affairs, while Feng Ji is in charge of external affairs, which complements each other.

At this moment, seeing that Yuan Shang personally led the army to support him and left Yecheng to be guarded by him, taking full power, Shen Pei felt a little happy.

Chen Lin, Xin Ping and others in the field also saw the clues and realized that Yuan Shang was worried about Yuan Tan, and they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts.[]

The two brothers were wary of each other and made peace for the time being.

It would be better if Yuan Tan had all the decisions on the front line.

However, although Yuan Shang's visit was for support, it would be inconvenient for him to go out to many places.

This is the most taboo thing on the battlefield. 1.9

And what Cao Ang is best at is taking advantage of the situation to build momentum, divide and win over, and defeat each one!

But although they were helpless, they didn't try to persuade him.

Because all those who could be persuaded had done so in this winter, and Yuan Shang could not listen to anyone else except the judge.

It's just that Yuan Shao still has some benevolence towards these old ministers, so he is loyal to the Son of Man and obeys the fate of fate.

In this way, Yuan Shang led an army of 150,000 men from Yecheng, with Feng Ji as his adviser and Meng Dai, Lu Xiang and others as generals, and set off for Liyang.

Together with Yuan Tan, he joined 300,000 troops and defended the north bank of the Yellow River south of Liyang like an iron barrel.

At the same time, Cao Ang of Xudu also made corresponding preparations.

In late March of the third year of Yu Jian'an, troops were sent from Xudu for the Northern Expedition... ps: I'm a little late in updating something today, but I will have more than ten thousand, so let's start with a short chapter.
