After Zhang Xun died in battle and Qiao Rui led his army back to Yuzhou, Han Xian, Yang Feng and other troops no longer worked hard. After a few casual attacks, they also withdrew their troops back to Yuzhou.
Xiaopei gave Yuan Shu a blow in the first battle. The angry Yuan Shu calmed down a little and stopped attacking Xuzhou.
Chen Feng originally wanted to reward Zhang Liao for his great achievements this time, but found that he could not reward him. Now Zhang Liao is a Zhonglang General, and if he were to be rewarded, he would be a general directly. However, Chen Feng himself was just a general, how could he claim to be a general.
So Chen Feng temporarily rewarded Zhang Liao with some gold and silver treasures, and recorded his military achievements for now, and will reward him later.
And next
Chen Guo (county) and Liang Guo (county) in the north of Yuzhou were successively captured by Cao Cao's army.
Yuan Shu's generals Li Feng, Liang Gang, Le Jiu and others were defeated and killed. Chen Lan and Lei Bo rebelled and no longer obeyed Yuan Shu's orders. They led their soldiers to become bandits and occupied the Haoshan Mountains in Runan as kings.
Let us say that there was a minister under Yuan Shu named Chen Ji, who was Chen Qun's father.
Chen Qun now belonged to Chen Feng. Seeing that Yuan Shu had lost power, Chen Qun sent a message to persuade his father Chen Ji to leave Yuan Shu and come to Xuzhou to assist Chen Feng.
Chen Ji was originally recruited by Yuan Shu to work for him. Ya did not want to follow Yuan Shu. After receiving a letter from his son Chen Qun, he found an opportunity to leave Yuan Shu overnight and ran across Xuzhou to join Chen Feng again.
The arrival of Chen Ji naturally made Chen Feng very happy. Seeing that Chen Ji was relatively old, he gave him a job as a meritorious official in Xuzhou to assist his son Chen Qun in managing the affairs of the school so that he could provide for his retirement in a stable manner.
Later, when Yuan Shu's ministers learned that Chen Ji had switched to Chen Feng and could enjoy his old age in peace, they couldn't sit still, and their little thoughts began to move.
The first person who couldn't sit still was Yuan Shu's leader Bo Yan Xiang. He originally advised Yuan Shu not to proclaim himself emperor, but Yuan Shu didn't listen. If he had listened to him, it wouldn't have ended up like this, so Yan Xiang had long been disappointed with Yuan Shu.
That night, Yan Xiang wrote a "resignation letter" and left it behind, then ran across Xuzhou with his family to join Chen Feng.

A native of Runan, Yuzhou, he was originally a subordinate of Yuan Shu and tried to dissuade Yuan Shu from proclaiming himself emperor. Yuan Shu refused to listen and became disappointed with Yuan Shu. Now he left Yuan Shu and joined Chen Feng, the pastor of Xuzhou. Chen Feng temporarily ordered him to work for Xuzhou. 】
Following Yan Xiang's lead, Yuan Shu's ministers also began to follow Yan Xiang's methods. They all left "resignation letters" to Yuan Shu, and then turned around and defected to Xuzhou one after another to join Chen Feng's lineup.

A native of Liang State (county) in Yuzhou, he was originally a subordinate of Yuan Shu. Later, he was disappointed with Yuan Shu who became emperor and turned to Xuzhou Mu Chen Jie...]
Yuan Shu lost troops and generals one after another, rebelled against his relatives, and retreated to Ruyin, where he has been in ruins ever since.
Not to mention that the number of counselors under Yuan Shu was decreasing one after another, a drought also broke out in this year. People in Runan were in dire straits, many places were cut off from human habitation, and there was even a phenomenon of cannibalism during the famine.
The soldiers in Yuan Shu's army were even more hungry and cold. In this state, they could not withstand Cao Cao's army.
Soon, Cao Cao led his army to easily defeat Yuan Shu's army and invaded Runan County. Yuan Shu, who was forced to have no choice but to go to Lushan, wanted to go to Lushan to defect to his former troops Chen Lan and Lei Bo, but he was severely rejected.
In the end, Yuan Shu, who was unable to save his life, was besieged by Cao Cao's army in Ruyin City.
Yuzhou
Inside Ruyin City
"I want to drink honey water! Find me honey water quickly!"
Yuan Shu, who was extremely thirsty, shouted and ordered his soldiers to find honey water.
The soldier said: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, our army has finished all the food and grass in the past few days. Not to mention the honey and water, there is... not even a bowl of rice water."
Yuan Shu sighed for a long time and said to himself in disbelief: "How could I, Yuan Shu, fall to this point!!!"
After saying this, he vomited blood and died.
"His Majesty!"
"His Majesty!"
After Yuan Shu's death, his general Qiao Rui led his troops to open the city and surrender to Cao Cao. At this point, Cao Cao captured the entire Yuzhou.
at the same time
Youzhou
Yuan Shao sent a letter to Gongsun Zan, hoping to reconcile with Gongsun Zan, but instead of agreeing, Gongsun Zan strengthened his defense.
Reconciliation failed, so Yuan Shao had no choice but to raise a large army to attack Gongsun Zan. He first attacked Gu'an City where Gongsun Zan's subordinate Tian Kai was stationed. Tian Kai was defeated and sent people to ask Gongsun Zan for help.
After Gongsun Zan of Yi County received a request for help from his subordinate Tian Kai, he did not send troops to rescue him. Instead, he said: "I am going to rescue him. Then everyone will just wait for reinforcements and refuse to fight. Now I won't rescue him." After that, the besieged soldiers will encourage themselves and fight bravely to kill the enemy."
In this way, Gongsun Zan, who didn't know what he thought, did not send troops to rescue Tian Kaijun who was besieged by Yuan Shao's army. This move was completely unpopular. As a result, all the soldiers of Tian Kaijun who were besieged by Yuan Shao either surrendered or fled, not wanting to fight at all. .
Gongsun Zan was stubborn and his generals could not work together. They were defeated one after another, or died in battle, or surrendered to Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao's army went all the way north, attacked several cities, and finally surrounded the tall buildings in Yixian County where Gongsun Zan was located.
Gongsun Zan panicked and quickly sent a message to his son Gongsun Xu to ask for help from the Black Mountain Army Zhang Yan and others. Both sides used torches as signals to jointly attack Yuan Shao.
As a result, the letter was robbed by Yuan Shao, so Yuan Shao used a trick and ordered one of his troops to hold up torches outside the city.
After Gongsun Zan in the city saw the torches outside the city, he thought that reinforcements had arrived, so he immediately led his troops to attack in a furious manner. However, he was beaten half to death by Yuan Shao's ambushed troops. After being defeated, he hurriedly retreated to the high building to defend.
Unexpectedly, Yuan Shao ordered people to dig tunnels and led his troops to attack the high-rise building.
At this time, Gongsun Zan knew that his fate was over, so he first hanged his sisters, wife and children, and then set himself on fire and died.
Why did a generation of white-horse generals end up setting themselves on fire?
behind all this
What is the lack of humanity?
Or moral turpitude?
Do you want to know?
"I think!" Xiao Qiao nodded heavily.
"It's useless to think about it." Chen Feng stopped telling the story, spread his hands and said, "I wasn't there, and I don't know."
"Ha~" Xiao Qiao asked: "Then why, as a white-horse general, Gongsun Zan gets worse the more he fights, but you become more powerful the more he fights?"
"Because... Jianghu is not about fighting and killing, but about human nature. If Gongsun Zan loses the hearts of the people, he will suddenly collapse, but if I win the hearts of the people, I will naturally stand firm."
Xiao Qiao put her chin in her hands and said, "How do you win the hearts of the people? The media can tell~"
Chen Feng smiled: "I have decided that I won't let you drink taro paste bobo milk tea from tomorrow."
"Huh?" Xiao Qiao was stunned, then blinked his big eyes, made an aggrieved look and started acting coquettishly: "No~"
"No, this is an example." Chen Feng said: "I used material to hang your stomach, and used it as a breakthrough to slowly enter your heart. Gradually, you will subtly submit to me.
Today’s Yangzhou, Jiaozhou, and Xuzhou are just like you. "
"I don't understand." Xiao Qiao said that he understood.
"If you had understood this at such a young age, you wouldn't have been deceived by me."
