At this moment, in Xu Prefecture!
Last year, Lu Bu took advantage of the time when Liu Bei's main force was attacking Yuan Shu to work with Cao Bao from the inside and outside to defeat the drunk Zhang Fei and seize Xuzhou!
By the time Liu Bei defeated Yuan Shu's main force and returned, Xuzhou had already been lost. Lu Bu, on the other hand, had Liu Bei stationed himself at Xiaopei to resist Cao Cao!
Liu Bei, who was good at forbearance, had nowhere to hide, so he immediately agreed!
However, at this moment, when the news of Yuan Xi seizing Bing Province spread, Lu Bu, who was originally a fierce general from Bing Province, couldn't help but sigh with emotion!
"Sigh, I've been wandering in this life. I don't know when I'll be able to return to the Nine Plains!”
Hearing Lu Bu's sigh, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, and the other generals who had followed Lu Bu since Bing Province, all had red eyes!
Even though they were decisive in killing, they still had a different kind of feeling when facing their hometown!
Seeing this, Chen Gong opened his mouth to console him!
"Fengxian, now that we have occupied Xu Prefecture, as long as we can defeat Cao Cao and seize the Central Plains, we might be able to compete with the Yuan Family!”
"At that time, Bing Province will naturally be taken back!”
At this point, Chen Gong couldn't help but admire Yuan Xi's strategic foresight!
"Yuan Shao has such a son, he should be able to achieve hegemony!”
Hearing this, Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, and the others couldn't help but feel curious about Yuan Xi!
This fellow's reputation had been very resounding recently!
……
On the other side, in Little Pei, Liu Bei and his brothers were preparing their troops.
Liu Bei could not help but sigh!
"Sigh, Yuan Shao has occupied three prefectures. Brother Bo Gui (Gongsun Zan's courtesy name) probably won't be able to overcome this crisis!”
Hearing their big brother's words, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei also tried to console him!
"Big brother, don't be so pessimistic. General Gongsun Zan is brave and might be able to turn misfortune into good fortune.”
"Even if we go to rescue them, it's like a mantis trying to stop a chariot!”
When Guan Yu said this, Zhang Fei, who was at the side, lowered his head and cursed!
He knew that if he had not lost Xu Prefecture, he might have been able to attack Gongsun Zan from the north and south. He might have been able to fight Yuan Shao!
But now, it was impossible!
"Sigh, Yuan Shao has such a son, it's really a blessing to the Yuan family. It's just a pity that Zilong is still under Bo Gui.”
……
A few days after the various dukes of the world sighed at the news of Yuan Xi's ability, a piece of news spread!
It made all the dukes who had just lamented that Yuan Xi was not lying to the Saint Child were all dumbfounded!
"What did you say? The Black Mountain Army attacked Shangdang at night and Yuan Xi was assassinated. Was this news true?”
In Xudu, Cao Cao, Xun Yu, and the others were still sighing with envy that Yuan Shao had a good son!
However, not long after, a scout came to report that the Black Mountain Army had attacked Shangdang at night and Yuan Xi had been killed!
Zhang He and the other generals were bringing the coffin and Zhang Yan to Ye City!
After Cao Cao said this, the scout said seriously!
"My lord, what I said is absolutely true. Zhang He has already retreated and is heading towards Ye City. This news has already spread throughout the world!”
Hearing the scout's words, Cao Cao heaved a sigh of relief for some reason!
Perhaps without Yuan Xi, Cao Cao would not feel as pressured to deal with Yuan Shao!
……
At the same time, Lu Bu, Liu Bei, Sun Ce, Liu Biao, and the other dukes all learned that Yuan Xi had been killed by Black Mountain's Zhang Yan!
For a moment, the heroes were shocked, but in their hearts, they all heaved a sigh of relief!
After all, Yuan Xi's battle record was there for all to see. Becoming enemies with him was truly unwise!
Only Liu Biao was depressed because his good friend Yuan Shao lost his beloved son Yuan Xi!
After all, Liu Biao and Yuan Shao were allies.
Liu Biao also wrote a letter to Yuan Tan and the others, telling them to work together. Otherwise, their father's inheritance would be taken away by Cao Cao!
Although Liu Biao was also worried that Cao Cao would attack Jingzhou after he seized Hebei!
But at least from this point of view, the relationship between Yuan Shao and Liu Biao was not ordinary!
"Sigh, it's a pity that he's a Saint Child!"
……
In Ye City of Ji Province, Yuan Shao was in high spirits recently. After all, Yuan Xi had helped him take down another province!
Furthermore, Yuan Shao had already made it clear that once Yuan Xi seized Bing Province, he would make Yuan Xi the heir!
As a feudal lord, words were like water that had been poured out. He had to abide by them!
Otherwise, how can we convince the masses?
As a result, Ye City was preparing for the upcoming Crown Prince Ceremony, and the people were also celebrating!
However, at this moment, a fast horse came from the north and charged straight into Ye City!
The knight raised the bamboo slip in his hand and shouted!
"800 li is urgent, get out of my way. 800 li is urgent…"
Upon hearing this, the commoners and soldiers on the streets all made way for him. At the same time, they were also discussing, not knowing what major event had happened!
At this moment, Yuan Shao was discussing with his subordinates in the main hall about the next step of the army!
At the same time, Yuan Shao also felt that since he already had three prefectures under his command!
In that case, he could let his three sons guard a prefecture each. Yuan Tan guarded Qingzhou, and Yuan Shang guarded Bingzhou!
As the Crown Prince, Yuan Xi would guard Jizhou with him!
It was perfect!
All of a sudden, a messenger rushed into the main hall and said something shocking to the astonished faces of Yuan Shao and the others!
"My lord, after Young Master Yuan Xi seized Bingzhou, the thief Zhang Nan colluded with Zhang Yan from Black Mountain and opened the city gate that night!”
"Although Zhang Yan was captured alive, Young Master Yuan Xi also died in the chaos of war.”
After the messenger said these words, Yuan Shao was immediately dumbfounded and stood there in a daze!
As for Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Qiushou, Tian Feng, and the other civil and military officials, their expressions changed greatly!
Yuan Shang looked at Yuan Tan with a face full of shock and disbelief. He was roaring in his heart!
"Yuan Tan killed Second Brother? How is this possible?"
However, in the next moment, Yuan Tan jumped up and grabbed the scout's shoulder.
"Impossible, my second brother is a genius. How could he die in Zhang Yan's hands? Don't lie to me and my father!”
Even Yuan Shang couldn't help but reveal a look of admiration when he saw Yuan Tan's sudden outburst!
If he wasn't sure if Yuan Xi's death had anything to do with his big brother!
However, Yuan Tan had jumped out in such a hurry. It was more like he was doing this for no reason!
Perhaps Yuan Shao didn't understand just how much his three sons had fought for the position of the crown prince!
However, as one of the three brothers involved, Yuan Shang naturally understood!
But right at this time, Yuan Shao suddenly faced the sky and cried out in pain, directly collapsing onto the ground!
"My son…"
Hearing this voice, the civil and military officials no longer cared about anything else and directly rushed to Yuan Shao's side!
"My lord (father), please take care of your health. Hebei's foundation still depends on you!”
