Chapter 305 Young Master Yuan Taken Prisoner! Is Ju Shou About to Seize Power?
Xu Sheng was the first person in history to leave Jia Xu bewildered.
after all.
Jia Xu and Su Yu are villains against villains; the two together are even worse, like combining similar items.
The two appreciated each other and held each other in high esteem.
As for Xu Sheng, Jia Xu felt that times had changed and that scheming and trickery were no longer useful!
Seeing this, Wei Yan quickly advised:
"Master, that kid was just lucky."
"If it were me and Xingba, we could also capture Yuan Tan alive!"
Jia Xu shook his head.
It wasn't that he didn't trust Wei Yan and Gan Ning's martial arts skills.
However, capturing Yuan Tan alive is not something that can be achieved simply by force.
Luck is also a very important factor.
No one expected that Yuan Tan would be so reckless as to rush to the front.
Xu Sheng also seized the opportunity very well.
He dealt with Lü Xiang and Lü Kuang in the shortest possible time.
If he had been even a fraction of a second later, Yuan Tan would have been rescued by these two generals or his personal guards.
at the moment.
The capture of Yuan Tan shocked everyone on the battlefield!
Without saying a word, Wu Dun, Wei Yan, Gan Ning, and Liao Hua led 40,000 Taishan bandits down the hillside and sped toward Yuan's army!
The main city of Taishan is built on the slopes of Mount Tai and is adjacent to Mount Tai.
Therefore, Jia Xu and the 40,000 bandits of Mount Tai were always in a superior position.
This charge completely extinguished the remaining morale of Yuan's army!
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Amidst the sound of bugles, Xu Sheng handed Yuan Tan over to Xu Rong, then stepped forward again and cut down Yuan's army's banner.
As long as the banner is there, it's as if the person is still here.
When the banner falls, defeat is not far off.
Xun Chen and Xin Ping were in a panic.
Yuan Tan was captured alive right in front of the two of them!
There were also two generals, Lü Xiang and Lü Kuang, one dead and the other crippled.
With his body crippled, Lü Kuang naturally didn't have enough troops to rescue him at this moment.
It's like the three high-ranking generals who commanded the soldiers in battle are all gone!
These two strategists were left stuck in place, unable to even pass on their orders.
Left with no other option, the two had to retreat towards Linzi.
Yuan Tan was captured, but his life was not in danger; this was the consensus between the two.
after all.
At present, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are enemies.
However, as Yuan Shao's eldest son, Yuan Tan was also a nephew whom Cao Cao had watched grow up.
Before a victor emerges from the conflict between Yuan and Cao, Cao Cao will not kill Yuan Tan, whether out of humanitarian considerations or strategic value.
however.
Facing the pursuit of Cao Cao's army.
Xun Chen and Xin Ping eventually drifted apart.
Xin Ping slunk back to Linzi with several thousand defeated soldiers.
Xun Chen, on the other hand, was captured alive by Wei Yan and became a prisoner.
Hmm! This also puts Xun Chen and Yuan Tan back together, and allows Xun Chen to see Su Yu and Xun Yu again in Xuchang!
Wei Yan is truly a great man, worthy of being Jia Xu's disciple, actively helping Xun Chen achieve a happy ending!
……
Qingzhou
Linzi City
Xin Ping's face was covered in dust, his hair was a mess, and his clothes were tattered.
But he managed to escape with his life and reach the city of Linzi.
A scholar who looked four or five parts like Xin Ping came out from the city wall and shouted at Xin Ping:
"Who is coming?"
Upon hearing that familiar voice, Xin Ping was so angry that he wanted to rush up and kick the person away!
"Xinpi, you brat, open the door right now!"
"I am your elder brother!"
Xin Ping's roar startled Xin Pi.
When he realized that the man was indeed his own brother, Xin Ping, he was so frightened that he panicked and sent men to open the city gate.
"elder brother!"
"How did you end up like this?"
"And what about the eldest son?"
Why hasn't he come back?
Xin Pi had a bad feeling, but he had only recently joined Yuan's camp and his opinion of it was still somewhat biased.
Yuan's camp, which believed itself to be invincible, was unlikely to suffer a major defeat.
Xin Ping took Xin Pi's water bottle and poured water into his mouth.
He wiped his mouth and hurriedly told Xinpi what had happened.
After hearing this, Sinpi's dream was shattered.
He finally understood.
Whether or not "Zang Ba" betrayed the regime is completely irrelevant.
The important thing is that the reason this battle was lost was because Yuan Tan was too reckless!
With their commander captured on the spot, how could their soldiers possibly fight?
Even if it were any elite army in the world, they would be helpless in such a situation!
"Ugh……"
Xin Ping's eyes were filled with helplessness and sorrow.
He wished he could die on the battlefield!
Now look what happened: Yuan Tan, Lü Xiang, Lü Kuang, and Xun Chen are either dead, crippled, or captured.
The important task of writing a letter to Yuan Shao to report on the battle situation could only fall to Xin Ping.
But how should Xin Ping write about such a humiliating defeat?
He couldn't very well tell Yuan Shao directly that the outcome of the battle was due to his son Yuan Tan's recklessness, could he?
Honestly, just thinking about Ju Shou's happy expression after receiving this battle report made Xin Ping want to cry.
It's easy to imagine that Ju Shou would let out a demonic laugh a hundred times louder than a pig's laugh!
For Ju Shou, a defeat of this scale was nothing to worry about; it was just a drop in the ocean.
If you're willing to spend money, Ju Shou can certainly produce tens of thousands of soldiers.
Moreover, these were all soldiers under Yuan Shao's command!
With this defeat, Yuan Tan will almost certainly be eliminated from the "succession struggle"!
Still want to be the heir?
Sorry, but Ju Shou and his cronies have something to say about that!
Throughout history, have you ever seen anyone who was captured and then returned to become an heir?
Hmm... It seems that more than a thousand years later, a war god from the Ming Dynasty named "Bao Zong" achieved this feat.
Of course, the Great Ming War God did not return to become the successor. Instead, after several years of ups and downs, he ascended the throne again on the eve of his brother's death.
Xin Ping had a splitting headache.
He didn't even know how to write a battle report anymore.
One can only imagine how interesting the expressions on Yuan Shao's face were when he and his men learned of the defeat.
Xin Pi, standing to the side, didn't say anything, but his heart was ice-cold.
He is a very timid person.
Everything in the Xin family is usually taken care of by the eldest brother, Xin Ping.
But now, my older brother doesn't seem as reliable as he used to be.
Will he, Xinpi, one day also become a prisoner, or simply be killed on the battlefield?
