Chapter 162 Entrusting the funeral

Han Xin led 30,000 elite troops to take the lead and came to Cangting to ambush Yuan Shao's defeated army.

If Yuan Shao wanted to escape south, Cangting was the only way to avoid. Therefore, as one of the top commanders in history, Han Xin naturally developed the key points of Cangting.

Han Xin discussed with the generals the plan to defeat Shao. Han Xin said to the generals: "I have a plan called the strategy of ambushing on ten sides. Our army can garrison troops on the river and ambush ten teams. When the Yuan bandits arrive on the river, our army will all leave. At this time, our army has no way out and will fight to the death. Moreover, Yuan Shao's army is completely lost, so we will defeat Yuan Shao's old man."

All the generals said: "The general's brilliant plan, Yuan Shao's old man will die without a place to bury him!"

Han Xin said: "Our army can be divided into ten teams, each with three thousand people. The ten team commanders are General Zhang He, General Le Jin, General Xu Huang, General Shi Shouxin, General Wang Shenqi, General Jing Si, General Hei Chi Changzhi, General Yelu Xiezhen, General Kan Ling and our generals.

"General Zhang He, General Le Jin, General Xu Huang, General Shi Shouxin and General Wang Shenqi were ambushed on the left side of the river, and the rest followed the general to ambush on the right side of the river."

"After all the defeated soldiers of Yuan Shao's army enter the encirclement, our ten teams will attack together and eliminate Yuan Shao's old man in one fell swoop."

"No, General." Everyone agreed.

After Han Xin's deployment was completed, the generals sank in ambush according to Han Xin's deployment, waiting for the arrival of Yuan Shao's defeated troops.

The conversation was divided into two ends. After Ren Yi's team defeated the Wuchao defenders, they had some adjustments and took the wolf cavalry toward Cangting, preparing to respond to Han Xin's army and attack Yuan Shao.

Most of the Zhang Dingbian army are infantry, and it is difficult to catch up with Yuan Shao's defeated soldiers. Moreover, everyone had already discussed tactics before, so Zhang Dingbian settled the soldiers and set up defenses on the spot in Yecheng.

Under Han Meng's leadership, the defeated army fled in a hurry. At this time, the lineup of the generals of the defeated army was very bad. Except for Han Meng, Ji Ling, Fang Jie and Yuan Chonghuan, the rest of the generals were like Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang, who were all crooked.

Although there are capable ministers such as Ju Su, Tian Feng, Shen Pei, and Xu You in the civil servant group, civil servants are civil servants after all. Not all civil servants are Jiang Ziya and Wang Meng. In terms of leading troops, they may not be as good as the useless Lu brothers with only more than 60 commanders.

Moreover, Yuan Shao's two sons and nephew Yuan Yao were young. Although Liu was capable and had a strong personality, and decisive killing, Liu was always a woman, and she was not as experienced as Yuan Shao. Liu's temporary rise was just to be ordered in the face of danger and to draw a general from the short man.

The group fled in a hurry for a while, and Yuan Shao woke up leisurely.

"Water, water, I want to drink water." Yuan Shao said in a very weak manner.

Yuan Shang, who was beside him, quickly handed Yuan Shao a pot of honey water and carefully fed it to Yuan Shao for drink.

"Father, you finally woke up! Mother, Brother Xi, my father woke up!" Yuan Shang shouted happily.

There are two main reasons for the disagreement of the Yuan family in history. One reason is that after the Battle of Guandu, the three brothers of the Yuan family had already grown up, and they had almost no sense of dependence on family affection and brotherly love. As the old saying goes, is the ruthless one the most important? The Yuan family is not an emperor, but there is not much difference between the imperial family and the imperial family.

The second reason is that in history, the three brothers of the Yuan family were all warlords in power. When Yuan Shao was still alive, he could come forward to coordinate the conflicts between the three brothers, but once Yuan Shao died, no one of the three brothers obeyed each other, and brothers were in conflict with each other was the inevitable result.

In fact, after Yuan Shao's death, if the three brothers of the Yuan family could work together to resist Cao Cao, Cao Cao would be very likely and could not unify the north. In the Three Kingdoms era, it was not a joke. It would be no exaggeration to say that the Yuan family covered the sky in the north.

Cao Cao defeated the three Yuan brothers who fought against each other, and it was also a waste of time. The Yuan family's energy is so great that it shows.

In this life, if Ren Yi had not been decisively launched a mutiny and took the lead in seizing Bingzhou and Youzhou, which originally belonged to Yuan Shao's base in history, Ren Yi would have never been qualified to fight against the Yuan family.

"Husband, you have finally woken up!" Liu said excitedly.

"Father!" This is the shouting of the Yuan brothers.

"Uncle, are you okay?" This was Yuan Yao's crying.

"Master!" This is the shouting of everyone.

After drinking some honey water, Yuan Shao's spirits recovered a little. However, Yuan Shao's pale face was as pale as paper, and anyone could see that Yuan Shao was very weak at this time.

"How is Yecheng?" Yuan Shao asked weakly.

"My husband, Yecheng, was captured by Ren Bishop." Liu knew that he could hide his lies for a while, but he could not hide them for a lifetime, so he had to tell the truth.

Yuan Shao nodded weakly. Yuan Shao asked again: "Where is General Wen Chou?"

"Father, General Wen Chou, he died in battle." Yuan Shang said with a frustrated face.

After hearing this, Yuan Shao's face twitched and finally sighed softly.

"Forget it, forgot it, now that things have come to this point, I, Yuan Benchu, have nothing to do with it."

Everyone saw that Yuan Shao was pale and looked at Yuan Shao with a serious look on his face.

Yuan Shao looked at the expressions of everyone and knew what everyone wanted to say.

Yuan Shao slowly spoke, "Life and death are destined, and I know my own body best. I, Yuan Benchu, may not be able to overcome this disaster."

Looking at the sad faces of everyone, Yuan Shao waved his hand and continued, "It is God's unfairness to me, Yuan Benchu, fell into this field."

"I, Yuan Benchu, am sorry for the highway's trust, and Yao'er suffered. Our only way out now is to go south to seek refuge with the Emperor of Han and the Marquis of Champion."

"If I, Yuan Benchu, die on the road, you must protect my body and bury me in my hometown in Runan. I didn't expect that Yuan Benchu, my four generations and three masters, was defeated by a slave son, a barbarian, I hate him!"

Yuan Shao is a person who wants face and looks at family affection. He is at the end of his journey and does not reflect on what he has done wrong. Instead, he first pays attention to whether his face has been violated and whether the interests of the people he is close to have been damaged. In history, it can be seen that Yuan Shao gave up sending troops to accompany his son because Yuan Shang was sick.

Looking at Yuan Shao who was very excited and coughing very hard, Liu said comfortingly: "Husband, don't worry, Ren Yi, he will not have a good ending when he is against our aristocratic family or against His Majesty."
