Gou writes entries in the Three Kingdoms

Yuan Shang held Yuan Shao's knee while his body was trembling.
He slowly raised his head, looking a little struggling,
"Father, the only evidence for this is a handwritten letter. As long as my father destroys the handwritten letter, no one can prove that I harmed my eldest brother. With my father supporting me, who dares to say anything?"

"Idiot," Yuan Shao was furious and slapped Yuan Shang on the face, "Where do you think this handwritten letter came from? Your second brother gave it to me. Do you think destroying the handwritten letter is enough? Do you think your second brother will Are you ready to give up?"

"Second brother and I have always been good friends. As long as my father makes the decision, second brother won't say anything."

Yuan Shao shook his head helplessly, "Don't you understand yet? Your second brother gave me this handwritten letter, and the meaning is already obvious. If I can't handle it fairly, you will definitely not be able to hide the fact that you framed Xian Si."

Until now, Yuan Shao still wanted to protect Yuan Shang in his heart. He knew what Yuan Xi meant by giving him the book.

As long as Yuan Shao can deal with it fairly, at least depriving Yuan Shang of his inheritance rights and replacing it with Yuan Xi, he can pretend that this incident never happened.

After all, in this case, Yuan Xi is the ultimate beneficiary of this matter.

Yuan Shang also understood at this time, but his greed for power made him almost crazy.

"If the second brother insists on doing this, then I can only let him reunite with the eldest brother."

Yuan Shang's eyes were red and he said in a low voice.

"How presumptuous! You still refuse to change your ways,"

When Yuan Shao heard Yuan Shang's words, he was so angry that he raised his leg and kicked Yuan Shang.

"Someone, come."

However, as soon as Yuan Shao's words left his mouth, they suddenly stopped.

Yuan Shang was originally holding Yuan Shao's knee, but with his kick, he moved up along the knee.

He suddenly pounced on Yuan Shao and hugged Yuan Shao tightly in his arms.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Yuan Shao was tightly held in Yuan Shang's arms, and his mouth, nose, and ears were tightly covered by Yuan Shang's chest and arms. He couldn't breathe and could only struggle desperately and make a grunting sound.

Yuan Shang's whole body was trembling, his eyes were bloodshot, and he looked like he was going crazy. He wrapped his arms around Yuan Shao's head, tightening the grip tighter and tighter.

Although Yuan Shao was born as a warrior, he was old and had been ill for a long time, and he could not break away from Yuan Shang's iron-like embrace.

His legs kicked wildly on the ground for a few minutes, and then fell down softly.

Yuan Shang cried bitterly and hugged Yuan Shao and refused to let go. It was not until a long time later that he shouted in panic,
"Come on, come on."

When Yuan Shao's personal guards heard the sound and came in, they saw Yuan Shao lying on his back on the seat with his eyes closed, while Yuan Shang knelt in front of him and cried heartbrokenly.

Yuan Shao suffered a serious illness and died suddenly in his room.

This is the statement given by Yuan Shang.

Since Yuan Tan died, Yuan Shao had made a will to let Yuan Shang inherit the Yuan family's foundation. Therefore, when Yuan Shao died, most of the civil servants and generals in Yecheng chose to side with Yuan Shang.

Even if there were a few people who opposed Yuan Shang, in this situation, they chose to protect themselves wisely.

To put it bluntly, no matter how much the Yuan family fights within themselves, it is ultimately the Yuan family's family affair.

These old ministers and veterans of the Yuan family chose to support the new master at this time, at least they could gain favor in front of Yuan Shang.

Yuan Shang was very satisfied with this result and he had complete control of Yecheng.

The only hidden danger now is Yuan Xi, who also knows the inside story.

Yuan Shang did not immediately spread the news of Yuan Shao's death to Youzhou, but concealed the matter.
And under the guise of Yuan Shao, he issued an edict asking Yuan Xi to quickly go to Yecheng to meet Yuan Shao.

Yuan Xi received the order to summon Yuan Shao and knew that the handwritten letter he gave to Yuan Shao had worked.

The ambitious one rushed to Yecheng with only a group of personal guards.

Unexpectedly, Yecheng had a new owner. Yuan Xi entered the city and was immediately arrested by Yuan Shang on the charge of sowing discord.

At the same time, he took out the tampered handwriting as evidence, claiming that it was because Yuan Xi forged evidence in an attempt to frame Yuan Shang for injustice.

It was precisely because Yuan Shao saw through Yuan Xi's conspiracy that he was so angry that his old illness relapsed, and he died suddenly in his room.

Yuan Xi was convicted by Yuan Shang as the culprit who made his father angry to death, and was immediately thrown into prison.

In prison, Yuan Xi tried to contact his old subordinates who were close to Yuan Tan, trying to expose Yuan Shang's frame-up of Yuan Tan.

Unexpectedly, Yuan Shang's informant had already been ambushed in prison, and the person who contacted Yuan Xi was arrested on the spot. He used this as a reason to say that Yuan Xi refused to repent and his crime was unforgivable.

That night, Yuan Xi and Yuan Tan's old subordinates were executed by Yuan Shang.

As soon as the news came out, no one in the old Yuan family in Yecheng dared to mention the handwritten letter. Yuan Shang relied on his ruthless and high-pressure methods to successfully integrate Yuan Shao's forces again.

The news reached Yanzhou, and Guo Jia learned that Yuan Shang had resorted to killing his father and brother, and arbitrarily solved his alienation plan.

I couldn't help but let out a long sigh, there was nothing I could do.

Most of the strategies in this world are only effective for those who are in awe or have scruples. For people like Yuan Shang who have no bottom line, the laws of the king, father, law, heaven, principles and ethics have no effect.

A head-on battle is the only way.

At this point, Guo Jia had to force himself to get up again, reorganized all the troops under Cao Cao's command, rearranged the defense line on the south bank of the river, and formulated a new strategy.

Then because my body was too weak and could no longer hold on, I had to stay in bed again.

However, after Yuan Shao's sudden death, the war between the two sides was delayed for two or three months. It was already late winter when Yuan Shang was waiting for Yuan Shang to integrate the Yuan family's forces.

In the winter in the north, there are feet of snow and cold weather, which is really not suitable for sending troops.

So Yuan and Cao once again entered the winter truce period.

Liu Xuan also took advantage of the lull in the war to completely wipe out Cao Cao's forces in southern Yuzhou and Xuzhou and take control of these places.

On this day, Liu Xuan was handling government affairs in Jianye. Cheng Hu came in from outside with a heavy expression on his face.

"My lord, the messages collected by the scouts have been returned. My lord, please read them."

Cheng Hu handed a large piece of compiled memorial to Liu Xuan.

"Liu Bei did not choose to send troops against us. Instead, he directed his troops at Hanzhong and Nanzhong. Unexpectedly, in less than half a year, Hanzhong Zhang Lu and Nanzhong Manyi were defeated by Liu Bei. I am afraid that by next summer, this will Both places will be captured by Liu Bei."

After reading the memorial, Liu Xuan couldn't help but look heavy.

Unexpectedly, after Liu Bei became emperor, not only was he not punished by the princes of the world, but he was allowed to make the surrounding princes surrender in the name of the emperor.The chieftains and princes from Jiaozhi, Xiliang, Nanchu and other places could not withstand Liu Bei's pressure and came to surrender one after another.

However, Zhang Lu of Hanzhong was dissatisfied with Liu Bei and wanted to rely on the natural dangers of Hanzhong to continue separatist rule.
Liu Bei sent Zhang Fei as a general and went to Yizhou to gather Liu Zhang's old troops. They fought all the way north from Zitong and won consecutive battles. Jiameng Pass, which Zhang Lu was proud of, was also breached by Yousi's siege equipment.

The army marched straight into the hinterland of Hanzhong, but Zhang Lu lost to Zhang Fei and led his remaining soldiers to abandon Hanzhong and hid in Yangping Pass.

Now that the weather is cold and freezing, Zhang Lu may not be able to hold on for long at Yangping Pass. He will be destroyed sooner or later.

Guan Yu led the troops from Jingzhou and joined forces with tens of thousands of Yousi warriors to attack Nanzhong.

Although the Nanzhong barbarians resisted, the Yousi army had many strange and ingenious tools, such as catapults, spray trains, repeating crossbows and other weapons, which were extremely lethal to the brute strength of the Nanzhong barbarians.

According to the Scout Report, the Nanzhong barbarians have been driven to the Yunnan border and had to retreat to the tropical rainforests in the southern mountains to avoid Liu Bei's army.

It seems that Liu Bei's strategy is consistent with Liu Xuan's strategy.
He also planned to unify the surrounding forces first, and then fight to the death with Liu Xuan.

And looking at the progress, Liu Bei's speed is obviously much faster than Liu Xuan's.

Liu Bei already had the fierce general Guan Zhang under his command, and Liu Biao's command in Jingzhou was also full of talents. Together with Liu Zhang's subordinates in Yizhou, Liu Bei had enough troops and generals to attack in two directions.

What surprised Liu Xuan was that Gossamer played a very important role in this.

Along Zhang Fei's journey, he relied on Yousiren's siege equipment to conquer Jiameng Pass.

Without the pass barrier, Hanzhong could not compete with Zhang Fei's army by force.

Guan Yu's road is even more so. The fighting methods of the Nanzhong barbarians are different from those of the Central Plains. In the primitive forests of Nanzhong, Guan Yu's regular army cannot exert [-]% of its combat power.

For a time, the barbarians used various traps to hold them back, making them unable to advance or retreat.

Tools such as the Yousiman's spray train, poisonous mist bombs, and repeating crossbows can exert full combat effectiveness in this dense mountain forest.

Moreover, these Yousi people have no scruples for victory. They just want to encircle and annihilate the barbarian main force of less than ten thousand people. The Yousi people dispatched dozens of spray trucks to set a dense forest on fire in Nanzhong.
The fire burned for half a month before it was extinguished by heavy rain.

But after the fire was extinguished, thousands of the main force of the barbarians were also found burned to death and smoked to death in the dense forest.

Each of these battle reports made Liu Xuan even more wary of the Yousi Man.

"Cheng Hu, have the scouts collected any information about the Yousi people?"

Cheng Hu recalled for a moment and replied,

"Reporting to my lord, according to reliable information, after Liu Bei became emperor, he conquered Jiaozhi County. Then he assigned the southern part of Jiaozhi County and Yazhou Island to the Yousi people as their residence."

"Moreover, someone from the Yousi Chamber of Commerce revealed that when the time is right, the Yousi people will establish a country on Yazhou Island and officially establish the Yousi Kingdom."

Liu Xuan stood up suddenly after hearing this, "Liu Bei agreed?"

Cheng Hu said: "I think I haven't agreed yet, but seeing how hard the Yousi people are working for Liu Bei, when Liu Bei's sphere of influence expands again, or if the Yousi people get enough credit, I'm afraid Liu Bei will have to agree."

"This Liu Bei really has no bottom line." Liu Xuan said angrily, "How can he not know the virtues of the Yousi people? Let them establish the country in Jiaozhi and Yazhou, and there will be endless troubles."

Zhuge Liang said from the side: "Liu Bei dares to proclaim himself emperor openly. It doesn't matter if he gives up a little bit of land to his allies. Don't you see it, my lord? Liu Bei and Yousi Man have one thing in common. They can do whatever it takes to achieve the goal."

"I'm afraid if we want to expel the Gossamers, we can only rely on us."

Liu Xuan gritted his teeth and said: "Kong Ming is right. The Han Dynasty must not be controlled by Liu Bei and the foreigners. Otherwise, the Han Dynasty will be devastated. Before next summer, we must unify the Central Plains, and then point our troops to the west to fight Liu Bei decisively. ."

[Notepad opens.]

[In 204 AD, after Liu Bei proclaimed himself emperor in Xiangyang after Jianye, in order to win over the Yousi people, he wanted to allocate Jiaozhi and Yazhou Island of the Han Dynasty to the Yousi people to found the country.You were extremely angry after hearing this, thinking that this would bring endless trouble to the Han Dynasty, so you decided to drive the Yousi people out of the Han Dynasty. 】

[Trigger challenge mission: expel aliens]

[Mission details: Drive the Yousi people out of Dahan, or eliminate the invading Yousi people. 】

[Task reward: entry*3]

The mission was activated, and Liu Xuan also officially regarded the Yousi Man as an unforgivable enemy.

The entire Yangzhou, Xuzhou, and southern Yuzhou are preparing for war.

Not only were soldiers recruited, the weapons factory in Guangling was also expanded several times, and the craftsmen were also gathered together. The factory was at full power, and armors and weapons were continuously produced.

As soon as winter passed and spring blossomed, Yuan Shang could not hold back his warlike spirit and immediately assembled heavy troops on the border of Yanzhou and launched a full-scale attack on Cao Cao.

At this time, although Cao Cao had recovered slightly after a winter's rest, he was facing a bigger problem. Guo Jia fell completely ill and fell into a coma.

The battle with Yuan Shao has always relied on Guo Jia's planning.Other counselors such as Xun Yu, Cheng Yu and others are better at internal political management, and in terms of strategic command, they are inferior to Guo Jia.

Fortunately, Guo Jia had deployed Cao Cao's army before he lost his will. However, the situation of the war was changing rapidly. It was obviously not enough to rely solely on Guo Jia's strategy without making changes.

After more than a month of fierce fighting between the two sides, Yuan Shang's army successfully broke through Baima again and invaded Yanzhou.

Cao Cao's armored battalion and tiger and leopard cavalry had lost most of them in last year's battles. Facing Yuan Shang's more than 1 elite men wearing alloy steel armor, they were no longer able to defeat them.

They could only extend the front line, not engage Yuan Shang's elite troops, and instead concentrate their superior forces to encircle and annihilate Yuan Shang's other small troops.

In this way, they once again relied on the strategy of trading space for time to deal with Yuan Shang's army in Yanzhou.

Yuan Shang was young and energetic, and was dragged to Yanzhou by Cao Jun. He was beaten very unhappy, so he thought of Liu Xuan again.

Liu Xuan had been paying attention to the battle situation in Yanzhou and learned that Yuan Shang's attack was not going well, so he had been waiting for Yuan Shang's arrival in Guangling.

Buying weapons and armor is actually like a mortgage. Once you try an easier way, you can't stop.

This was the case for Yuan Shang. After commanding the elite battles of the Iron Armored Battalion, he could no longer stand the invincible tactics of ordinary troops, and wished that the entire army would be equipped with Liu Xuan's weapons and armor.

So this time, Yuan Shang came straight to the point and said to Liu,

"His Royal Highness the King of Huaiyang, I need [-] sets of alloy steel armor and alloy steel weapons. Please let someone calculate how much land is needed as mortgage."

Liu Xuan was also prepared this time. He was not in a hurry to let Yuan Shang calculate it, but called out his notepad.

"Scannable voice, effective object, Yuan Shang."

[The scanning function is turned on. 】

[Scanned Yuan Shang’s voice: There is a big enemy like the King of Huaiyang who produces weapons and armor for me. Why don’t I ask for more? Anyway, I use the land as a mortgage and don’t need cash. 】

Liu Xuan looked at the message in the notepad calmly,
Good guy, you treat me as an enemy and take whatever you want, right? (End of chapter)
