Hearing Yuan Tan's words, Yuan Shang revealed a somewhat helpless yet somewhat delighted expression as he spoke!
"My relationship with second brother has been very good since we were young. Even if he becomes the crown prince, I can still protect my glory and wealth. Moreover, I have never humiliated second brother in front of him!”
"She has never made things difficult for Second Brother. Instead, she often listens to Second Brother's suggestions.”
"Moreover, even if I manage to overthrow Second Brother, there's still you and me fighting for the position of Crown Prince. Compared to you, I hope that Second Brother will become the Crown Prince!”
"Because if you become the prince, there will be no way for me to survive!”
Hearing Yuan Shang's words, Yuan Tan became even more furious!
"You…"
However, Yuan Shang's words were not without reason. In the original history, Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang had a very good relationship. On the contrary, it was his big brother!
He was hostile to the two brothers, and later, there was a life and death battle and a struggle for the inheritance!
After Yuan Xi had transmigrated, even though he had displayed astonishing talent, Yuan Shang was still a genius on the surface!
He was still on good terms with Yuan Xi and had never made things difficult for Yuan Xi!
Except for the time when he wanted to take control of the army!
But it was also because of that time that Yuan Shao had already said that after their strength could catch up to Yuan Xi, they would naturally have the chance to lead the army!
In addition, Mrs. Liu doted on her youngest son and often said in front of him that after Yuan Xi inherited the family business in the future!
He wanted the brothers to work together and so on!
Therefore, Yuan Shang had completely given up on the position of Crown Prince!
He understood that the position of the Crown Prince was already destined to be Yuan Xi's. Then why should he still be enemies with Yuan Xi?
In Yuan Shang's opinion, with Yuan Xi's talent, it would be extremely easy for him to seize Bing Province!
Most importantly, Yuan Shao already had this thought, so Yuan Shang naturally could only give up!
However, Yuan Tan was different. Ever since Yuan Xi rose to power, he had always made things difficult for him. He had never let go of Yuan Xi's wedding!
If he didn't retaliate, when Yuan Xi successfully took control of the Yuan Family in the future, where would he have a way out?
After Yuan Tan repeatedly persuaded him, Yuan Shang did not show any dissatisfaction towards Yuan Xi.
Yuan Tan had no other choice!
"Yuan Shang, I was kind enough to form an alliance with you to deal with Yuan Xi, but you're acting like a coward. I'm so disappointed.”
Finished talking, Yuan Tan also left in a rage!
After Yuan Tan left, Yuan Shang slowly said.
"Hehe, if I were to compete with you for the position of the Yuan family's heir, why would I be afraid of you? But that person is second brother!”
"I'm not as stupid as you. Don't lose your life without knowing it!”
……
After leaving Yuan Shang's mansion, Yuan Tan felt even more upset.
He was the eldest son of the Yuan Family, the first in line to inherit the Yuan Family. How could his father give the position of heir to Yuan Xi?
The more Yuan Tan thought about it, the more ferocious his expression became!
After a long while, he finally made up his mind and muttered.
"In that case, second brother, don't blame me. When the time comes, I'll burn more for you on the road to the afterlife!”
"Men, send this letter to Black Mountain Zhang Yan. I don't believe that you won't die!”
That night, a cavalry charged out of Ye City and headed straight for the Taihang Mountains!
……
At this moment, Zhang He was leading over ten thousand soldiers as the vanguard, charging into Shangdang County first!
Bing Province had a total of nine counties, namely Shangdang County, Taiyuan County, Xihe County, Shangjun, Yanmen County, Yunzhong County, Dingxiang County, Wuyuan County, and Shuofang County!
Among them, Shangdang was the capital of Bing Province, located in the southernmost part of Bing Province. It was also the most difficult city to take down in Bing Province!
The Shangdang Prefectural Governor was Zhang Yang, and he had a good relationship with Lu Bu. He could be considered a loyal person!
When Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty returned to the east, only Zhang Yang brought food to the Emperor Xian and was given the title of Grand Sima and Governor of Hanoi!
Later on, Lu Bu was attacked by Cao Cao, and Zhang Yang led his troops to rescue him. However, he was killed by his subordinates and joined Cao Cao!
So, Zhang Yang died this year?
What surprised Yuan Xi was that Zhang Yang was supposed to be the prefect of Hanoi. Why was he still the prefect of Shangdang?
In this regard, Yuan Xi could only push this matter to the butterfly effect!
When Zhang He led his troops to the city walls, Zhang Yang stood on top of the city walls and looked at the 10,000 infantry and cavalry under the city walls. They were waving the flags of " Yuan " and " Zhang "!
His expression changed drastically!
"This is bad, Yuan Shao wants to plot against Bingzhou, and the one coming is Zhang He, one of the Four Court Pillars of Hebei.”
Just as Zhang Yang was worried, Zhang He, who was wearing silver armor and holding a long spear, raised his weapon and pointed it at the top of the city wall.
"Zhang Yang, I am Zhang He, a subordinate of Yuan Jizhou. I will be the vanguard in this battle. If you know what's good for you, surrender immediately!”
"Otherwise, when my Young Master Yuan Xi's 100,000 strong army arrives, I will definitely make you wish you were dead!”
(PS: 50,000 troops, claimed to be 100,000. In ancient times, people liked to claim to be rounded up!)）
Zhang Yang was even more terrified when he heard Zhang He's shout!
"What?!"
"Other than Zhang He, there are still 100,000 soldiers? Was it still the Saint Child Yuan Xi who had defeated Gongsun Zan and helped Yuan Shao seize Qingzhou?”
Zhang Yang felt bitter in his heart!
There were only five thousand soldiers in Shangdang City. They might be able to put up a fight against Zhang He, but they still had Yuan Xi leading a hundred thousand soldiers behind them!
What should I do?
Even if he fought to the death, he probably wouldn't be able to hold on for more than a few days!
……
At the same time, just as Yuan Xi led his troops to attack Bingzhou, Yuan Tan's messenger arrived at the Taihang Mountains!
Thus, he successfully met the leader of the stronghold, the leader of the Black Mountain Army, Zhang Yan!
Zhang Yan was originally named Chu Yan. Because his foster father, Zhang Niujiao, had died in battle and passed the power to him, he changed his surname to Zhang and gave himself the name Zhang Yan!
Then, he led the Black Mountain Army to hide in the Taihang Mountains and often plundered Hebei and Bing Prefectures!
The people around Jizhou were suffering!
For this reason, Yuan Shao had sent troops to attack Zhang Yan's troops more than once.
Zhang Yan, that old cunning fellow, led the troops to hide in the mountains and split up. There was no way to destroy them!
And after Yuan Shao's army withdrew, this old fellow once again gathered his troops to plunder, making people extremely annoyed!
This time, in order to get rid of Yuan Xi and allow him to ascend to the throne, Yuan Tan actually allied with Zhang Yan to completely bury Yuan Xi's life in Bing Province!
In the Taihang Mountain village, Zhang Yan, Yu Du, Mei Dayan, and the rest of the Black Mountain Army's leaders were gathered together!
Everyone looked at the messenger standing in front of them with an arrogant expression!
After a long while, Zhang Yan finally spoke up!
"Yuan Shao really gave birth to a good son. For the sake of the throne, he actually didn't hesitate to join hands with the enemy and kill his own younger brother!”
"That Yuan Xi's name, even in the Taihang Mountains, I'd still get calluses from hearing about it. If I kill him, Yuan Shao will fight me to the death!”
At this point, Zhang Yan changed the topic. The bandit's arrogance was fully displayed as he roared angrily!
"Do you want my Black Mountain Army to take the blame and bury my million men?”
