Chapter 956 Death of Yuan Shao
"Kill!"
There were constant shouts of killing inside and outside Beiping City. Arrows from the two armies kept firing at each other. The cracks in the bricks above the city were almost filled with arrows. Thousands of Xiliang troops climbed up from the ladders. , fighting with the defenders.
Dang Dang Dang!
"retreat!"
The sound of Mingjin suddenly sounded. After hearing the sound of Mingjin, the Xiliang army that was violently attacking the city immediately retreated in an orderly manner and stopped attacking the city. The archers increased their efforts to cover, allowing their colleagues to retreat. It's a little smoother.
"The enemy's resistance has become weaker and weaker. If nothing unexpected happens, Peiping should be captured within three days." Xu Huang judged.
"Okay! In that case, I will send cavalry to ambush ten miles north of Beiping City. If the old thief Yuan Shao prepares to break out, I will capture him in one fell swoop!" Lu Bu said excitedly.
Xu Huang naturally surrounded the city with three gates, blocking all the gates on the east, west, and south, leaving only the north gate exposed. If the enemy wanted to break through, they would naturally break through the north gate.
At this time, a big event happened in Beiping City.
There was an atmosphere of sadness and tension in the Sheriff's Mansion. The entire Sheriff's Mansion was heavily guarded and no one was allowed to come in or out easily.
In a room of the Sheriff's Mansion, Yuan Shao was lying on the couch with a pale face, his face was bloodless, and he was motionless. It wasn't that he didn't want to move, but he really didn't have the strength.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuu, father."
Yuan Shang knelt on the ground and cried, looking miserable, while Yuan Xi on the side also looked sad.
Yuan Shao was shot by Lu Bu's arrow. Although Yuan Xi noticed it in time and pulled Yuan Shao's hand, Lu Bu's aimed arrow failed to hit Yuan Shao's back as expected, but it hit the lower back.
How powerful is Lu Bu's arrow? Although Yuan Shao was wearing heavy armor, the arrow penetrated the armor and penetrated deeply into the flesh.
The arrow shot into the flesh, and logically it should be pulled out to avoid inflammation. However, the doctor did not dare to pull out the arrow from Yuan Shao's body, because Yuan Shao was too old and his energy and blood had declined. He might not be able to hold on if he pulled it out. Just cut off the exposed arrow shaft and bandage the wound.
And the most terrible thing happened. Because the arrowhead remained in the body, coupled with his old age, Yuan Shao inevitably developed inflammation and became confused.
"Well"
Yuan Shao suddenly spoke, and the judge beside him said with great joy: "My lord, what do you want to say?"
Seeing their father wake up, Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang were naturally very surprised and hurriedly approached him.
"Where is Tan'er?" Yuan Shao asked weakly.
Yuan Shang couldn't help but frown when he heard Yuan Shaogang asked about Yuan Tan's news. Yuan Xi sighed and said: "When my father and we fled into the city, my eldest brother led the army to fight with the Xiliang army outside the city. Now he has either escaped or is miserable."
Yuan Xi did not continue. Why didn't Yuan Shao understand?
"Cough cough cough cough cough!"
Yuan Shao coughed violently, and his pale face turned a little red, but it made him look even more abnormal.
"Second Young Master, please stop irritating the Lord." Shen Pei couldn't help but frown.
"My lord, your injury is not healed yet, so you should speak less." Shen Pei said in a low voice.
"I'm about to die Zhengnan." Yuan Shao said with difficulty.
"Father, no, no." Yuan Shang couldn't help but said.
"Listen to me, you listen to me"
Yuan Shao said slowly: "I am already old. Now I am hit by an arrow from Lu Bu. How can I survive?"
"Shang'er, Xi'er, you two come here."
"Father!"
Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang rushed forward and knelt in front of Yuan Shao's couch, with tears streaming down their faces.
"Well, now that Tan'er has passed away, I don't have so many worries as a father. He is the eldest son. Logically speaking, the throne should be passed to him, but Shang'er alas."
Hearing Yuan Shao's words, although he was still a little sad in his heart, Yuan Shang couldn't help but become happy: "Father, doesn't this mean that he wants to pass the throne to me?"
"Xier, do you have any objections?" Yuan Shao asked again.
"My child has no objection, as long as his father lives a long life, it will be fine." Yuan Xi sighed.
Yuan Xi originally had no nostalgia for power, otherwise he could have taken advantage of the dispute between Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang to start a new business, segregate Youzhou and sit back and watch Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan fight, but he was attached to Yuan Shang.
What's more, the enemy is currently attacking the city. What's the use of getting this mess?
"You guys, you guys can break out tonight." Yuan Shao said slowly, "My father gave a lot of property to the Xianbei people before. You can go and join them, and maybe you can use their power to restore the Yuan family."
"Remember, don't take the north gate. The enemy must have set up a lot of ambush outside the north gate."
Yuan Shao usually had little military achievements, but in times of crisis, his brain suddenly became brighter.
"Father."
Yuan Shao didn't care about Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang crying, he didn't have much energy left.
"Zhengnan. After my death, Beiping City will be handed over to you."
Shen Pei said in a deep voice: "Lord, please rest assured, as long as Shen Pei survives, the city of Beiping will survive!"
Yuan Shao nodded happily. Shen Pei was the most loyal minister of the Yuan family. After Yuan Shao's death, he assisted Yuan Shang. After being captured by Cao Cao, he refused to surrender and was eventually killed.
"That way, I feel relieved."
After Yuan Shao finished speaking, a smile appeared on his face.
"Father, father?"
Yuan Xi suddenly panicked and shook Yuan Shao gently, but Yuan Shao remained motionless, but his eyes were still open and looking upward.
"Father, father!"
"Father!"
When Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang saw Yuan Shao's death, they couldn't help but burst into tears. They both threw themselves on Yuan Shao's body and cried loudly.
"Lord." Shen Pei closed her eyes and shed two tears.
"The lord is dead"
"shut up!"
Shen Pei suddenly shouted angrily: "You all listen to me. You are not allowed to tell me about the death of my lord under any circumstances, otherwise I will kill him. Do you understand?"
Seeing Shen Pei's murderous look, the surrounding guards and maids nodded in fear, fearing that Shen Pei would order them to be killed.
Once the news of Yuan Shao's death spreads out, the morale of the army in the city will definitely be weakened. By then, even if the judge has great power, he will not be able to make a comeback.
The judge said coldly: "You all go down and another group of people come up!"
After much deliberation, it was still not safe, so the judge simply imprisoned all these people and replaced them with a new group of people.
"Second Young Master, Third Young Master, don't be sad. My lord and the eldest prince have passed away. Do you want my lord to be extinct and die in peace?" Shen Pei said angrily.
"Military advisor, what do you mean?" Yuan Xi helped Yuan Shang up and looked at Shen Pei.
