A soldier walked in hurriedly, with an anxious look on his face

"How is this possible, Cao Cao actually led a large army to attack Nanyang?"

"Is Cao Cao crazy? Attack Nanyang at this time"

"There must be some conspiracy, Lord, please be careful."

The faces of other ministers in the hall changed drastically when they heard the soldiers' words. Just now, Yan Xiang said that Cao Cao would not attack Nanyang.

Now the soldiers came with the news that Cao Cao and his army were almost coming to Nanyang.

There was a trace of fear on everyone's faces. Before Yuan Shu The defeat of several days made them have a little fear of Cao Cao.

Especially the counselor Lin Yuan made them feel fear.

Now that Cao Cao has brought his army to Nanyang, this counselor will inevitably follow.

They ministers There was also some anxiety in my heart, what would be the fate of these ministers if Nanyang was really captured.

Yan Xiang was also stunned at this time, and it took him a while to react.

Yan Xiang's face had a gloomy look, and the other ministers said that he I heard it all.

Just now he swore that Cao Cao would not lead an army to attack Nanyang. Now Cao Cao will lead an army to Nanyang City immediately.

"Yan Xiang, you said that Cao Cao would not come to Nanyang with his army. How do you explain it now?"

Yuan Shu was stunned when he heard the soldier's words. After a while, he realized there was a trace of fear on his face.

Looking at Yan Xiang, there was a hint of dissatisfaction in his voice.

He had just put down his heart, but now he raised it again.

Cao Cao He actually brought a large army to attack Nanyang. He wanted to capture him alive and capture Nanyang.

"I am guilty, it must be the suggestion of Lin Yuan, the counselor next to Cao Cao."

"Otherwise, Cao Cao would not have led his army to attack Nanyang. The Lord was assured that the defense of Nanyang City was enough to defend Cao Cao's army from attacking."

Yan Xiang knelt on the ground and watched Yuan Shu bow his hands in salute.

Being questioned by Yuan Shu in front of other ministers, Yan Xiang also felt a little angry in his heart.

But he knew that the most important thing now was to let Cao Cao's army withdraw.

Once Nanyang is attacked There is no point in saying anything.

Fortunately, he has recruited some more soldiers in the past few days, and he has also made some plans for the defense of Nanyang.

Yan Xiang is still confident that he can defend Nanyang for a while.

Yuan Shu heard Yan Xiang's words and did not He was relieved, but there was a trace of fear in his heart.

He could not forget the big defeat of 953 a few days ago, nor could he forget Lin Yuan, the counselor.

This man was able to capture Xuzhou without a single blow. Now that Lin Yuan came to Nanyang again, Yuan Shu had a trace of fear in his heart. perturbed

"Is there anything Yan Xiang can do to make Cao Cao retreat?"

Yuan Shu looked at Yan Xiang with a trace of anxiety on his face.

He no longer wanted to fight with Cao Cao's army. He knew that his army could not defeat Cao Cao. What

Yuan Shu now hopes is that Cao Cao can retreat. In this way Nanyang still has a chance to breathe. He can continue to recruit troops to increase Nanyang's defense.

Everyone looked at Yan Xiang after hearing Yuan Shu's words. They were also very anxious.

Not only would Yuan Shu be unlucky if Nanyang was captured, but they ministers would also have no good end.

"The lord should send envoys to Jingzhou and Jizhou to let Liu Biao and Yuan Shao know that Cao Cao is leading an army to attack Nanyang"

"The city wall of Nanyang is strong. If Cao Cao wants to capture Nanyang, he will definitely bring most of Xuzhou's soldiers with him."

"This time Cao Cao will not have any extra soldiers to ambush, as long as Liu Biao and Yuan Shao send troops to attack Xuzhou"

"Cao Cao will inevitably retreat with his army, and by then the crisis in Nanyang will be resolved."

Yan Xiang looked at Yuan Shu and told his plan.

In Yan Xiang's opinion, Cao Cao was bluffing last time and did not really want to capture Jingzhou, so he divided his troops into two groups.

Yan Xiang knew Nanyang's defense, and Lin Yuanruo The troops who tried to attack Nanyang by repeating their old tricks could not capture Nanyang.

Yuan Shu had a hint of joy on his face when he heard Yan Xiang's words. Suddenly Yuan Shu frowned and looked at Yan Xiang and said:

"I have no objection to sending an envoy to Jingzhou."

"When sending an envoy to Jizhou, I was worried that the envoy would be dragged out and killed by Yuan Shao."

Yuan Shu said with a trace of regret on his face.

A few days ago, he chopped off Yuan Shao's envoy in anger. Yuan Shao must be dissatisfied with him.

Now he sends an envoy to Yuan Shao for help. If he were Yuan Shao, he would chop the envoy out. A breath of bad breath.

Thinking of this, Yuan Shu had some regrets. If he had known that he should not have executed Yuan Shao's envoy today.

Yan Xiang sighed in his heart when he heard Yuan Shu's words. At that time, he also disagreed with Yuan Shu's execution of Yuan Shao's envoy.

But at that time, Yuan Shu beat him He was very angry after losing the battle, and Yan Xiang could not stop him.

Now it was Yuan Shu's turn to send (bcbg) envoys to see Yuan Shao. Yuan Shu's expression looked very regretful just now.

"Don't worry, my lord, Yuan Shao knows which is more important."

"Once Nanyang is captured by Cao Cao, Cao Cao will occupy Nanyang"

"By then, Cao Cao's strength would have further improved, which was bad news for Yuan Shao."

"Yuan Shao saw that the envoy would not be executed, but would only find a way to relieve the crisis in Nanyang."

Yan Xiang looked at Yuan Shu and expressed his thoughts.

He knew very well that Nanyang's life and death were at stake now, and Yuan Shao would not choose to watch the fire from the other side because of a messenger.

After all, Nanyang was captured by Cao Cao, and Yuan Shao's situation would become unfavorable.

"In this case, Yan Xiang, please quickly send two eloquent envoys to Jingzhou and Jizhou."

"Let the envoy tell Liu Biao and Yuan Shao that as long as they can solve the crisis in Nanyang!"

"The general is willing to form an alliance with the two of them and advance and retreat together in the future."

"As the legitimate son of the Yuan family, I swear that I will never betray my allies."

Yuan Shu felt relieved after hearing Yan Xiang's words. He thought for a while and watched Yan Xiang express his thoughts.

Everyone in the hall was stunned when they heard Yuan Shu's words, and soon everyone reacted.

It seems that Yuan Shu is really worried about Nanyang being captured. , he even spoke out about the decision he disliked the most, such as forming an alliance, and even swore an oath as the legitimate son of the Yuan family.

"Yes!"

Yan Xiang bowed his hands and saluted after hearing Yuan Shu's words. In his opinion, Yuan Shu still had some abilities at the critical moment.

The envoy told Yuan Shu's words to Yuan Shao and Liu Biao, and they would definitely support Yuan Shu.

"Everyone, follow me to the Nanyang City Wall!"

After Yuan Shu finished speaking, he hurriedly left the prefect's mansion. Cao Cao had already led his army to Nanyang.

How could he sit at ease in the prefect's mansion? He wanted to see Cao Cao's army with his own eyes.

Soon Yuan Shu led the army to the city wall. On the way up, there was already a trace of yellow smoke in the distance outside Nanyang City.

Soon the yellow smoke became more and more. Seeing this scene, Yuan Shu and others had solemn expressions on their faces.

So much yellow smoke showed that Cao Cao's army had left. Nanyang City was very close.

Soon a figure appeared in the yellow smoke, and the sound of horse hooves frightened the birds on the surrounding trees and flew everywhere.

Suddenly Yuan Shu's face changed drastically as he looked ahead, and a large number of cavalry and soldiers appeared in front of him.

He looked We arrived at a cavalry group riding a white horse and wearing white armor, and we also saw an infantry group of a thousand soldiers.

These infantrymen were wearing heavy armor, holding a gun in one hand and a shield in the other, and they also carried a crossbow behind their backs.

Although there were only a thousand soldiers , People, Yuan Shu felt some pressure on this team.

Beside these two armies, there were many high-spirited soldiers wearing black armor.

Seeing this scene, Yuan Shu felt a little panic in his heart. The ambush he had been caught in the past few days was just Some of Cao Cao's soldiers.

What he saw now was the real main force of Cao Cao's army. Every soldier looked extraordinary. Not only Yuan Shu, but also other ministers standing on the city wall were stunned at this time.

Several ministers were stunned by the momentum of the army behind Cao Cao. He was so shocked that he lost his balance and fell to the ground.

Yan Xiang was also stunned when he saw this scene. This was the first time he saw such a high-spirited army.

He knew that Cao Cao's soldiers were well-trained, but he didn't expect it when he saw it with his own eyes today. It has come to this point.

Yan Xiang now knows very well that Yuan Shu's soldiers will definitely be defeated when they go out to fight with Cao Cao's army.

Ji Ling stands next to Yan Xiang, as the commander-in-chief of Yuan Shu's army.

He thinks that he has not trained the soldiers well. There are few people who can compare with him, and the defeat in the past few days has already damaged his confidence. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Now seeing the army behind Cao Cao, Ji Ling also felt a little fear in his heart.

Are so many soldiers really trained?

Ji Ling knows very well that all his army can do is defend Nanyang

"Ji Ling, can you win if your army goes out of the city to fight Cao Cao's army?"

Yuan Shu swallowed his saliva and looked at Ji Ling beside him and asked. After hearing Yuan Shu's words, the others also focused on Ji Ling.

Ji Ling is Yuan Shu's number one general, and his opinion is very important to Yuan Shu.

"Lord, the soldiers under the general’s command are unable to fight with the soldiers under Cao Cao’s command."

"Once a fight breaks out, all the soldiers under the general's command will be annihilated."

Ji Ling had a trace of reluctance on his face, but he still said what was in his heart.

With so many ministers looking at him, he also thought about lying to Yuan Shu, saying that his army could compete with Cao Cao.

Ji Ling was worried that if he said this, Yuan Shu Once he really sends soldiers out of the city to fight with Cao Cao's army, then his army will definitely be wiped out, and Nanyang City will be occupied by Cao Cao.

Everyone's faces changed drastically when they heard Ji Ling's words. Ji Ling said this It seems that the soldiers under Yuan Shu really can't compete with the soldiers under Cao Cao.

When Yuan Shu heard Ji Ling's words, there was a trace of unwillingness on his face.[]

He knew that Ji Ling was telling the truth, and he also wanted his army to leave the city to fight Cao Cao.

It's a pity that his army can't compete with Cao Cao's army. Yuan Shu must be weak-minded.

"Don't be upset, my lord. As long as you defend Nanyang, you will have a chance to make a comeback."

"I have sent envoys to Jingzhou and Jizhou as quickly as possible. Once Yuan Shao and Liu Biao send troops to support them,"

"Cao Cao will inevitably give up attacking Nanyang and withdraw his troops back to Xuzhou."

Yan Xiang looked at Yuan Shu and spoke to comfort him.

Yan Xiang was worried that Yuan Shu would lose his fighting spirit, which would lead to low morale among the soldiers in the city.

This would make it easier for Cao Cao to capture Nanyang. Only if Yuan Shu has fighting spirit can Nanyang have a chance to defend it.

Yuan Shu let out a breath after hearing Yan Xiang's words, with a hint of fighting spirit on his face.

Yan Xiang's words reminded him that now is the time of life and death in Nanyang, and he, the Nanyang prefect, must have fighting spirit. Only the soldiers below will have fighting spirit, as long as Yuan Shao If he and Liu Biao send troops to support, he can defend Nanyang.

Under the watchful eyes of Yuan Shu, Yan Xiang and others, Cao Cao led the army not far from the gate of Nanyang City.

Yuan Shu, Yan Xiang and others looked at it and saw that the soldiers wearing golden armor Cao Cao.

Then he looked at Lin Yuan, who was wearing white clothes next to Cao Cao. At this time, Lin Yuan was holding a folding fan in his hand with a hint of indifference on his face.

Seeing this scene, Yuan Shu, Yan Xiang and others frowned slightly. If it weren't for Lin Yuan's assistance Cao Cao.

Why did Cao Cao come to attack Nanyang with his army today? Looking at Lin Yuan who looked indifferent, everyone felt a little uneasy.

Yan Xiang also looked at Lin Yuan. This was the first time he saw Lin Yuan himself.

This person He knew very well the ability of Yuan Shao, and it was because of this person that Yuan Shao was unable to capture Youzhou.

Yan Xiang looked at Lin Yuan with an indifferent expression, and suddenly felt a sense of fear in his heart.

Especially the faint smile on Lin Yuan's face made Yan Xiang feel even more uneasiness

"Cao Mengde, how dare you bring an army to Nanyang?"

"Do you want to disrespect His Majesty and attack Nanyang?"

Yuan Shu looked at Cao Cao riding a war horse outside the city, and began to take a preemptive strike and pulled the emperor out as a shield.

Yan Xiang nodded slightly when he heard Yuan Shu's words. Yuan Shu still had some sense at the critical moment.

"You and I both know Yuan Gongli very well, so there is no need for the emperor to talk about it."

"If you and Yuan Shao hadn't been harboring evil intentions that day, the Emperor would have snatched it out of Dong Zhuo's hands."

"The emperor would not be kidnapped by Dong Zhuo and move the capital to Chang'an"

"Han Fu's Jizhou Mu was also granted a personal title by the Emperor. Yuan Shao attacked Han Fu in order to gain Jizhou."

"Han Fu had no choice but to give up the shepherdship of Jizhou to Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shao led troops to attack Youzhou, ignoring the emperor."

"The fourth and third princes of the Yuan family received the emperor’s favor from generation to generation."

"To say that you are disrespectful to the emperor is also disrespectful to your Yuan family. It is really ridiculous that you, Yuan Benchu, could say such things today."

Cao Cao looked at Yuan Shu with a trace of ridicule on his face.

Yuan Shu had a look of anger on his face when he heard Cao Cao's words.

Cao Cao's words just now struck his heart. Now that the world is in chaos, no princes really care about the emperor who is still in Chang'an.

He is now Saying yes with the emperor will only bring humiliation to oneself.

Yuan Shu looked at Lin Yuan next to Cao Cao, thought about it and said:"Sir, assisting Cao Cao, a treacherous minister, in commanding will harm your reputation.""

"This general is the legitimate son of the Yuan family. If you, sir, assist me,"

"When this general achieves hegemony, he will certainly not forget his contribution."

After Yuan Shu finished speaking, there was a trace of expectation on his face. Now Nanyang is in danger.

If he can pull Lin Yuan over to save Nanyang, the chance of saving Nanyang will become greater. Even if Lin Yuan does not accept it, it may sow the relationship between Cao Cao and Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan Hearing Yuan Shu's words, he smiled. He didn't expect to attack the city soon.

It's really ridiculous that Yuan Shu still used this little trick to sow discord between himself and Cao Cao.

"Yuan Gongli, do you still remember your grandfather?"

Cao Ren looked at Yuan Shu on the wall and cursed loudly!

Yuan Shu looked at the strong man talking next to Cao Cao, with an angry look on his face.

Although he could not clearly see the faces of the generals sent by Cao Cao to ambush him at that time, he remembered the voices. Stop.

It’s exactly the same as the strong man’s voice just now.

"It turns out it’s you, the reckless man!".
