The destruction of Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang brothers had already made his subordinates feel disappointed. Longcuo's garrison seemed to have many troops and had strong combat power, but in fact, the morale of the army was dispersed and no one was willing to work for Yuan Tan. Gao Shun succeeded in an attack, broke Longcuo City, and Yuan Tan quickly retreated to the plain. Gao Shun did not relax at all and led the army to continue attacking the plain. Yuan Tan was defeated and fled to Nanpi again.

Under Nanpi City, flags were waving and iron swords were formed. Tens of thousands of elite Jiangdong troops had already surrounded Nanpi City. In Gaoshun's camp, a middle-aged scholar in a blue shirt calmly opened the curtain door of Gaoshun's tent and entered with his head raised. Gaoshun was leaning over and looking at the map. When he saw the man, he said happily: "Zi Jing, are you back? This trip will definitely not be easy. Sit quickly! Sit quickly!"

The man's name was Qian Zhao, whose courtesy name was Zi Jing, and he was from Guanjin, Anping. When he was over ten years old, he studied with Le Yin from the same county. Le Yin joined the general He Miao as the chief minister, and Qian Zhao went to his subordinates. During the Dong Zhuo rebellion, He Miao and Le Yin were killed by the soldiers. Qian Zhao and Le Yin's disciple Shi Lu and others took the risk to restrain Le Yin's body and transported him back to his hometown. When they met the bandits, Shi Lu and others all fled in all directions. Qian Zhao cried and begged. The bandits thought he was a righteous man, so they let him go, and thus Qian Zhao became famous.

Later, Qianzhao was appointed as an employee by Yuan Shao, the governor of Jizhou, and also led the Wuwan cavalry. At that time, Yuan Shao's close ministers violated the law. Qianzhao first and then reported. Although Yuan Shao did not blame the crime, he did not use it more. After Yuan Shao's death, Qianzhao was ordered by Yuan Shang to go to Shangdang to raise military rations for him, which was appreciated by the senior officials of Bingzhou. Later, Yuan Shang was defeated and went to Zhongshan. Qianzhao persuaded the senior officials to follow the dangerous mountains and rivers, with sufficient soldiers and enough food to take Yuan Shang in, and worked together to resist the Jiangdong Army. However, the senior officials were afraid of Yuan Shang and were afraid that he would seize his power after coming to Bingzhou. Instead, he wanted to harm Qianzhao. Qianzhao secretly sneaked away after getting the news, and later threw himself under Gaoshun's tent. He was relied on his left and right hands.

After sitting down, Qianzhao bowed to Gao Shungong and replied calmly: "I am lucky to have been to the death of Liucheng. The King of Wuhuan Qiao was about to gather 5,000 cavalry to rescue Nanpi, but was persuaded by me and would no longer send troops."

Gao Shun was overjoyed and stood up to greet Qian Zhao deeply, saying, "Wuhuan, Liucheng, has always been used by the Yuan family, is a major worry for our army to march northward. If we do not support Yuan Tan today, I think we are determined to leave Yuan family. In the future, we will definitely become a great helper for our army. Mr. Zijing's achievements are really great!"

Qian Zhao also stood up and bowed and said, "What do you mean by my duty? I am not to hide it from it. When I saw King Qiao of Wuhuan, Gongsun Kang, the prefect of Liaodong, also sent an envoy Han Zhong to bring a seal and ribbon to King Qiao. King Qiao held a banquet to entertain us. During the meal, Han Zhong was arrogant and said, "My boss is a million mercenaries, and there is also Fuyu, and the monk is used by me. In the current situation, the strong are the king. What is Zhou Yu worth?"

Gao Shun smiled and said, "Zi Jing must fight back!"

Qianzhao nodded and said, "I was angry and stood up to scold Han Zhongdao, Zhou Gong Mingzhe, assisted the emperor, defeated the rebellion and surrender, and the world was peaceful. Your monarch and ministers were foolish and treacherous. Now you rely on the danger and distantness to violate the king's order. Now you should be the law. How dare you slander the Lord in a slight manner! After that, I rushed forward and pressed Han Zhong to the ground, drew his sword to chop. The King of Qiao was frightened and advised me to calm down. The left and right sides were lost. Then I sat on the seat and analyzed the situation for King of Qiao and others. Everyone went down to bow and kneel down."

Gao Shun's eyes were full of admiration and praised: "Zi Jing is full of courage!"

At this time, Zhao Yun strode into the tent, clasped his fists at Gao Shun, and said, "General, Mr. Zijing, the defenders in the city seem to have signs of breaking through!"

Upon hearing this, Gao Shun led Zhao Yun, took a big step out of the camp and climbed up to the tower. As expected, he saw that the defenders in the city were moving, and there was a vague sound of fighting. Gao Shun nodded to Zhao Yun and said, "I think Yuan Tan discovered that his generals wanted to join our army and were striking internally. This is a good opportunity to break the enemy! Passing our military orders, each unit immediately began to attack the city! General Zilong."

Zhao Yun clasped his fists and replied: "The last one is here!"

Gao Shun's face was quiet and he whispered: "You lead heavy armored cavalry to ambush outside the south gate. If Yuan Tan breaks through, he will definitely go here!"

Qian Zhao was a little puzzled and asked, "General, if Yuan Tan wants to escape, it is the right way to go north. How could he go out of the south gate instead?"

Gao Shun laughed and said, "Yuan Tan has rich experience in the formation. He had already expected that our army would judge him to go out of the north gate, so he would do the opposite. Zilong, if you go outside the south gate, you will definitely wait for him!"

An hour later, the south gate of Nanpi City suddenly opened wide, and Yuan Tan led his confidant to march out, penetrated the Jiangdong Army's encirclement and blockade, and rode his horse wildly.

During Youxiong, a dark iron armored heavy cavalry appeared in Yuan Tan's sight, blocking their way. The sunlight reflected back from their iron armor, which was full of cold murderous aura.

Yuan Tan was shocked, but at this moment, it was too late for them to turn back. The rapid horse speed had already brought them less than 300 steps away from the Iron Armored Heavy Cavalry!

Zhao Yun had a few sneers on the corner of his mouth. In their opinion, Yuan Tan’s hundreds of light armored knights were just meat on the chopping board and fish in the pot. Isn’t it easy to take them off?

Gently dropping the iron mask, revealing only a pair of sharp eyes. Zhao Yun pressed the huge rifle in his hand and said in a deep voice: "Kill me!"

An hour later, Yuan Tan's head was already in front of Gao Shun's eyes. Gao Shun closed his eyes slightly and whispered: "It's also considered a descendant of a famous family. He ended up like this! He passed me the order and buried him happily."

In the battle of Nanpi, Yuan Tan's final power was wiped out, and he himself died under the trampling of the Hurricane Heavy Cavalry. Since then, Jizhou, which has a fertile land of thousands of miles, no longer belongs to the Yuan family.

When Yuan Tan was buried, Yuan Xi was pacifying Yuan Shang who came to surrender in Ji County, Youzhou.

"Second brother, I lost my ancestral property, I really have no face to see you." Yuan Shang's eyes were filled with tears, but he forced himself to let the tears fall.

Yuan Xi's face was a little sad. He had long since withdrawn from the competition for the successors and had long lost his ambitions. Being able to safely defend Youzhou was his greatest hope. When Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang competed for the territory of Jizhou, he firmly stood on Yuan Shang's side, with blood thicker than water. After all, he and Yuan Shang were born to the same mother. Compared with Yuan Tan, Yuan Tan was a little worse.

However, Yuan Xi did not expect that Yuan Tan actually forgot his father's hatred. Bei Yan bowed his knees and asked for help from the Jiangdong Army. After receiving the assistance, Xianyu turned over and killed Yuan Shang in an indissoluble manner, causing a good Jizhou to be separated, and all industries have withered. In the end, he was attacked by the Jiangdong Army General Gao Shun. Not only did Yuan Shang lose Yecheng, but he had to come to vote for him. It was Yuan Tan who tried to turn against the Jiangdong Army, but he also ended up being defeated and killed!

Why did the Yuan family fall to this point?

"Third brother, although he relaxes his mind, the power of the Jiangdong Army is not afraid to extend to my Youzhou! I have arranged a spacious house, so you can rest well! I won't discuss the counterattack of Jizhou for the time being. There are frequent chaos in Youzhou recently. Let's settle the situation first..." Yuan Xi's words were a little helpless.
