Chapter 105 Yuan Shao
Just before Zhang Liao launched the attack, in the central army camp, there was lights and candles, and Yuan Shao was still sitting in front of the desk. Today's victory made him so excited that he couldn't help himself. Although he was almost a child, he was still not sleepy at all, and various thoughts came from his mind.
Everyone thinks that he was born into the Yuan family of Runan, who was born in four generations and three dukes, had a prominent life experience, but not many people knew that his mother was a maid. Because of the difference between legitimate and illegitimate, she was humble in the Yuan family and was full of indifference and ridicule from her brothers!
Fortunately, his father Yuan Feng loved him and adopted him to his dead and sonless uncle Yuan Cheng, becoming the nominal eldest son and grandson of the Yuan family, which changed his identity as a concubine and was qualified to compete for the head of the Yuan family!
He studied hard and made friends with heroes. He became a man in his youth and was the chief of Puyang in his twenties. He wanted to do something and live up to his ambitions of a real man! Unfortunately, his father died too early. After his uncle Yuan Wei took over the Yuan family, he did not like his background and favored Yuan Shu, which made him angry!
He had no hope of joining the Yuan family, how could he be willing to do so? He took a different approach and raised famous people to seek self-improvement!
At the age of 22, his mother died. He resigned from office and mourned for three years. After finishing his appointment, he replenished his father for three years. In his prime, he endured his mourning in his ancestral home, Ruyang for six years, and was not known to the world! At that time, his brother Yuan Shu hunted and played with the brothers of Luoyang every day, and was extravagant and lewd, and was called a filial and honest man. How unfair is my uncle!
However, his six years of tolerance were not in vain. Some famous scholars came to visit him. At the age of 28, he moved to Luoyang and still lived in seclusion. At that time, the party was in trouble. The eunuchs and scholars were fighting fiercely. He seized this opportunity to raise dead soldiers and secretly made friends with party members such as Zhang Miao, He Yong, and Xu You. He discussed countermeasures with him many times to help the party members take refuge, but his reputation rose sharply and visitors blocked the streets.
In the first year of Zhongping, the Yellow Turbans broke out, and Henan Yin He Jin was appointed as the general. He heard his reputation and summoned him. When he saw the opportunity of his rise, he decided to answer the call. When he saw He Jin for the first time, he was dissatisfied. A butcher actually became the general! He could replace him!
After that, under the appreciation of He Jin, he served as the Censor of the Attorney, General of the Hu Ben, and Captain of the Central Army, and was in charge of the Xiyuan Army. However, he was dissatisfied with this. In April last year, Emperor Ling died and He Jin fought for power with Jian Shuo. He took the opportunity to assign his disciple Zhang Jin, who was secretly beneath He Jin, to persuade He Jin to kill the eunuchs. He Jin had always been interested in attracting scholars, so all the gang members who Yuan Shao had secretly made were valued. Zhang Miao was the cavalry commander, He Yong was the chief clerk of the Northern Army, and Xu You was the minister of the Huangmen. He established a political interest group through He Jin.
After killing Jian Shuo, he, the captain of the Central Army, became the leader, and Cao Cao, Bao Xin, Chunyu Qiong and other generals in Xiyuan were all under his command. At this time, his uncle Yuan Wei was the Grand Tutor and recorded the affairs of the Shangshuo. The scholar group overcame the eunuch group, but he was still not satisfied with his status and real power, so he decided to set up a big banner to trick He Jin into summoning the generals and heroes from all directions into Beijing and killing the ten eunuchs! So the generals such as Bao Xin, Wang Kuang, Zhang Liao were sent to recruit soldiers, and Dong Zhuo, Ding Yuan and Qiao Mao were summoned to Beijing. However, when Ding Yuan entered Beijing and Dong Zhuo's troops arrived in Mianchi, He Jin regretted it and prevented Dong Zhuo from entering Beijing.
At this point, how could he give up? He joined forces with the already-held scholar group. The old story of General Dou Wu being killed by eunuchs threatened He Jin, forcing He Jin to retreat, so he appointed him as the Sili School Captain. During the festival, he had the power to deal with military generals on behalf of the General, and also led 1,200 Sili, supervised all officials, and combined with more than a thousand dead soldiers he secretly recruited, his power was far greater than that of his brother Yuan Shu!
However, he had a far-reaching ambition and had great plans. How could he be satisfied with being under a butcher? So he secretly circulated He Jin's order to hunt down the relatives of the Ten Constables in counties and counties, and urged Dong Zhuo to order him to march to the west of Luoyang, Ping Leguan completely forced He Jin to the death of the duel with the Ten Constables!
Soon, the unscheming He Jin died at the hands of the ten eunuchs who were eager to jump over the wall. The emperor was also kidnapped. He was immediately ecstatic. He knew that the opportunity had come, and was afraid that his strength would be weak. He immediately joined hands with his brother Yuan Shu and his uncle Yuan Wei to forge an eunuch to kill the eunuchs' pro-party Xu Xiang, Fan Ling, and attacked the palace and killed all the eunuchs!
Afterwards, he was ready to save the emperor. With his current status, fame and real power, he was enough to replace He Jin and become the general, follow Yi Yin and Huo Guang, and become the minister of Zhongxing in the Han Dynasty! Unfortunately, he was retaliated by Dong Zhuo who was summoned by himself. Dong Zhuo's thief took the lead and quickly seized Ding Yuan, He Jin and He Miao's troops, and controlled the power, which made him dare not act rashly. Although he had the chance, he was unwilling to gamble!
He was unwilling and angry, and suddenly had an idea. The Han Dynasty was now at the end of its path and the fire was hard to prosper. Why not start a self-made fire by relying on its own fame? So he ignored Bao Xin's suggestion to persuade him to kill Dong Zhuo, and secretly sent his confidants Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Feng Ji, Xu You and others to leave the capital early. He took advantage of Dong Zhuo's destruction and establishment of the emperor, and opposed it with great righteousness. He hung up the east gate and rushed to Jizhou to the Bohai Sea, secretly recruiting troops and preparing to revive the matter.
Until today, he was the leader of a prince and the leader of the Guandong princes, and defeated Dong Zhuo. The princes had no reputation than others. As long as Han Fu was forced to sell Jizhou and occupy a state, his great cause would be expected! As for the real army to enter Luoyang and kill Dong Zhuo to support the emperor, he had no idea. I guess there were not many princes who had this idea.
He has today's fame, thanks to the reputation of the Yuan family in Runan, but it was the result of his own planning. Even Yuan Ji, who was born in the legitimate state, was not as famous as him. It was not easy to get to this point.
Just as Yuan Shao was full of confidence and feeling a lot of emotion, a drum sound suddenly came from outside. He was shocked and immediately ordered: "Come here, go and find out who is playing the drum..."
Before he finished speaking, the drums outside suddenly made a big sound, and for a moment there were drums everywhere, which made the entire camp seem to be shaking!
Yuan Shao was sweating all over in an instant, and his hot heart seemed to be poured into ice water, sinking. There was only one thought in his mind: "Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
He knew very well about the situation in his camp at this time. The soldiers fought hard for a day and cleaned the battlefield. They were already exhausted, and the generals of Chunyu Qiong were sleeping drunk.
If you are defeated, you may be wiped out!
Yuan Shao felt dizzy when a general in armor rushed in. When Yuan Shao saw him, he was happy and shouted: "Come quickly to beat the drums and gather the generals, and gather the army to meet the enemy!"
The general said in a deep voice: "The enemy's drum sounds too loud, and beating the drums is useless at this time. We can only hope that each battalion will respond to the enemy by itself. The last general's duty is to protect the lord!"
Yuan Shao was anxious, but he knew that the general was telling the truth. He put on his armor in a few seconds, raised his long sword, shouted: "Go out and see! Which bandits are attacking!"
When he arrived outside the camp, the generals quickly gathered two thousand elite troops in the central camp, and Yuan Shao took two steps to the general's platform. Looking around, under the moonlight, except for the central army, several other camps not far away were fighting, and there were no secretly many enemies.
He asked the soldiers on the lookout for the enemy situation: "What is the enemy situation?"
The soldier hurriedly said, "Except for the East Camp, the other three battalions have had enemy soldiers attacked. There are countless torches on the western avenue, and the enemy soldiers rushed over from the west."
"West, Heyang City!" Yuan Shao's face turned pale and cut off a wooden railing with one sword: "It's a pity that Su You, it's a big deal for me!"
At this time, Xu You and Feng Ji, who were dressed in dishevel, rushed over. When Xu You saw Yuan Shao, he rushed over and said with his fists: "Lord, you must prevent the two thousand prisoners from being rescued! Otherwise, it will be in danger!"
Yuan Shao was shocked. The captive camp was between the Central Army and the Northern Camp, and was very close to the food, supplies and stables. Once rescued, the consequences would be unimaginable. He hurriedly ordered: "Come!"
Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, a roar came from the north of the central army: "Kill Wang Kuang!"
Xu Youduan said, "The camp is over!"
It happened to be where the prisoner camp was located, and to attack the prisoner camp, you must pass through the northern rear camp!
Yuan Shao's hands and feet were cold in an instant, and there was only one thought in his mind. From the attack to the present, in less than a moment, how could the enemy find the prisoner camp so quickly? Could it be that the heavens destroyed me? They shouted to kill Wang Kuang. Could it be that these bandits came to Wang Kuang?
At this moment, another group of troops rushed straight from the west, and Yuan Shao sternly said: "Form a formation to meet the enemy!"
Unexpectedly, the man turned north and bypassed the central army. Before Yuan Shao could react, Feng Ji, who was awakened by his drunkard, shouted: "No! They want to burn food and grass!"
Yuan Shao's face changed drastically: "Wen Chou! Kill the bandit quickly!"
"Get orders!"
The general who had rushed into the tent, holding a long spear, quickly assigned 500 elite troops from the central army and rushed to the location of the food and supplies.
This person is Wen Chou!
Since Yuan Shao raised an army to visit the front line of Hanoi in person, how could he not bring a single general?
He now has two powerful generals under his command, leaving Yan Liang in Bohai County and taking Wen Chou with his guards. However, he hid Wen Chou's existence to the outside world.
At the suggestion of Xu You and Feng Ji, Yuan Shao quickly sent dozens of guards to take his orders to various battalions to investigate the situation and urge the generals to reorganize their troops to fight.
"Kill Wang Kuang!" In the darkness, the calls for attacking enemy soldiers became louder and louder.
Just at this moment, Wang Kuang, who was dressed in dishevel, came out of the big tent, and everyone looked at him with his eyes full of inquiries!
Wang Kuang looked at everyone's eyes and was confused. At this moment, there was another wave of roar: "Kill Wang Kuang!"
Wang Kuang was startled. Yuan Shao held back the doubts in his heart and looked at Wang Kuang: "Why is Gongjie like this? Do you know their origin?"
Wang Kuang quickly shook his head and cleared his suspicion.
Feng Ji looked at the fighting sounds from all directions and said in a deep voice: "The bandits came from the west, were they Baibo bandits, or were they Niu Fu soldiers from Hedong coming along the river?"
Yuan Shao's expression changed again. It would be fine if it was Bai Bo's army, but if it was Niu Fu's troops, it would be broken! Now the river is frozen, and if Niu Fu's troops defeated Bai Bo, it is entirely possible that they will come along the river!
