Yuan Shu stood up and looked at the envoy, his face full of anger.

Everyone trembled when they saw Yuan Shu being so angry, and the hall instantly became quiet.

There was only the sound of everyone breathing, and even a few ministers held their breaths.

"endowment...Report to my lord!"

"Yuan Shao's counselors said that Cao Cao's attack on Nanyang was a cover and it was Lin Yuan's plan."

"Lin Yuan was thinking of Liu Biao sending troops to attack Xuzhou, and Lin Yuan wanted to repeat his old trick to ambush Liu Biao's army."

"Nanyang will not be in danger of being breached, and Cao Cao will naturally lead his army to retreat in a few days."

The envoy trembled and told Yuan Shu what Yuan Shao told him.

Everyone was stunned when they heard the envoy's words. Is this Yuan Shao's excuse for not supporting?

Cao Cao's army frequently attacked Nanyang City in the past two days. Although there were no casualties among soldiers on both sides, Big.

But they can all see that Cao Cao is consuming the combat effectiveness of the Nanyang defenders.

Cao Cao's attack on Nanyang this time is not a pretense, he really wants to break through Nanyang City.

There is anger on everyone's face. In their opinion, Yuan Shao is Deliberately not wanting to send troops.

It must be because Yuan Shu killed the envoy, Yuan Shao held a grudge and ignored the life and death of Yuan Shu and Nanyang.

Yan Xiang frowned at this time, he felt that the matter was not that simple.

If Yuan Shao did not want to send troops to support, there was no need to tell the envoy so More.

Just send someone to send the messenger away, so why bother?

"Snapped!"

"Yuan Shao, you are such a narrow-minded villain. I impulsively killed one of your envoys."

"This general sent an envoy to apologize to you and took the initiative to form an alliance with you."

"But you refused to save me, and even found such a ridiculous excuse."

Yuan Shu kicked the tables in front of him with one kick, with a look of rage on his face.

In his opinion, Yuan Shao was retaliating against him for killing the envoy. Cao Cao's army outside Nanyang City attacked so frequently in the past two days.

It was not a pretense at all. Cao Cao really wanted to capture Nanyang.

Now that Yuan Shao did not send troops to support him, Yuan Shu felt not only anger but also fear.

"Lord, calm down, this matter is not that simple."

"If Yuan Shao doesn't want to support his lord, he doesn't need to talk to the envoy so much."

"Something must have happened that made Yuan Shao feel that Cao Cao's attack on Nanyang was a pretense, but his actual target was Liu Biao of Jingzhou."

Yan Xiang looked at the furious Yuan Shu and bowed his hands.

Yuan Shu was stunned for a moment when he heard Yan Xiang's words and quickly realized what he said. Yan Xiang's words were reasonable. Yuan Shao didn't need to make any excuses if he didn't want to support him.

He would have had the same intuition. Just refuse, but Yuan Shao also told his messenger the reason.

This made Yuan Shu feel a little strange. Maybe something else happened like what Yan Xiang said?

"Think about it carefully, is there anything you missed?"

Yuan Shu looked at the envoy with an angry look on his face.

The envoy was panicked when he heard Yuan Shu's words. After thinking for a while, his eyes lit up and he looked at Yuan Shu and said:

"Report to my lord!"

"Yuan Shao's counselors said that Lin Yuan once wrote a personal letter to Liu Biao"

"The letter said that Cao Cao would attack Jingzhou in a while, and asked Liu Biao to take care of Jingzhou during this period. This would save Cao Cao a lot of trouble after he occupied Jingzhou."

The envoy told everything he heard in Yuan Shao's mansion.

Yan Xiang turned pale after hearing the envoy's words. This scene was clearly seen by Yuan Shu and others.

"Yan Xiang, do you know something?"

Yuan Shu looked at the pale Yan Xiang with a hint of anxiety on his face.

It took a while for Yan Xiang to react, but his face was still pale!

"Lin Yuan has good tactics and is worthy of being a top strategist."

"Tao Qian, Yuan Shao, Liu Biao, Dong Zhuo, I won’t complain if I lose to this man!"

Yan Xiang had a wry smile on his face and mentioned the names of several princes.

Everyone was stunned for a moment when they heard Yan Xiang's words, and quickly reacted and looked at Yan Xiang with a frown.

This was the first time they saw Yan Xiang like this. Yan Xiang must have known something.

Yuan Shu was stunned when he heard Yan Xiang's words. Yan Xiang had not lost his temper like this for many years.

"Report to my lord!"

"Yuan Shao didn't send troops to support him not because he didn't want to send troops, but because he was deceived by Lin Yuan"

"The letter Lin Yuan wrote to Liu Biao was used to convince Yuan Shao and Liu Biao"

"Cao Cao's next target is Jingzhou, so Liu Biao will definitely attach great importance to it."

"They will definitely find Yuan Shao to discuss this matter. I guess it’s true that Liu Biao’s envoy is also in Jizhou, right? Yan

Xiang looked at the envoy who came back from Jizhou and said,"Sir, you are right. Liu Biao's eldest son Liu Qi is in Jizhou.""

As soon as the messenger finished speaking, everyone's expressions changed. Liu Biao really sent the messenger to see Yuan Shao, and it was his eldest son Liu Qi.

Yan Xiang had a wry smile on his face when he heard the messenger's words, looked at Yuan Shu and continued:

"Liu Qi went to Jizhou to meet Yuan Shao, knowing that Yuan Shao would also take Lin Yuan's autographed letter very seriously."

"In this way, Lin Yuan's goal was achieved. Lin Yuan suggested that Cao Cao lead an army to attack Nanyang."

"At this time, the city of Xuzhou became empty, because of the personal letter."

"Liu Biao will definitely think that Lin Yuan is deliberately deceiving him and letting him lead the army to Xuzhou"

"In this way, Lin Yuan can repeat his old tricks to ambush his army, and then capture Jingzhou"

"Yuan Shao must also think so, that's why Yuan Shao thinks that Cao Cao's attack on Nanyang is just a cover"

"In fact, it was to ambush Liu Biao's army and then capture Jingzhou."

"Once Yuan Shao thought this way, he fell into the trap set by Lin Yuan"

"This letter written by Lin Yuan to Liu Biao was actually to allow Cao Cao to attack his lord with all his strength, and there was no need to worry that Xuzhou would be attacked by Liu Biao."

"The envoy sent to Jingzhou has not returned yet. Presumably Liu Biao and Yuan Shao made the same choice not to send troops to attack Xuzhou."

After Yan Xiang finished speaking, he collapsed on the ground. He was once again shocked by Lin Yuan's scheme.

But this time he was the victim. Lin Yuan's personal letter made Liu Biao and Yuan Shao feel that he was repeating his old tricks and trying to ambush Liu Biao, in fact, Lin Yuan's letter was to let Cao Cao attack Nanyang without any worries.

By the time Nanyang was attacked, it was too late for Yuan Shao and Liu Biao to react. After

Yan Xiang finished speaking, the whole hall became quiet, and the ministers' eyes widened as Yan Xiang's words were shocked.

They didn't expect that Yuan Shao didn't send troops just because of a letter, and Lin Yuan actually made arrangements in advance.

With a personal letter, Liu Biao and Yuan Shao believed that Cao Cao's goal was Jingzhou.

It seemed ridiculous to them, if they Now he is a minister under Yuan Shao or a minister under Liu Biao.

He will think the same as Liu Biao and Yuan Shao. Cao Cao's goal is to attack Jingzhou

"Plop!"

Yuan Shu sat in his seat, his eyes widened and his face looked very ugly.

He originally thought that Yuan Shao did not send troops because he resented himself for killing his envoy, but he did not expect that he had fallen into Lin Yuan's scheme.

A letter from Lin Yuan told him Without Yuan Shao's support, Yan Xiang had just said that Liu Biao would fall into Lin Yuan's plan just like Yuan Shao.

In other words, Liu Biao would not send troops to attack Xuzhou to support him.

He now faces Cao Cao alone, and Yuan Shu has fear in his heart.

"Report!"

"Report to my lord!"

"The envoy to Jingzhou has returned to the city!"

Another soldier came in and looked at Yuan Shu with his hands bowed in salute.

There was a glimmer of light in Yuan Shu's dim eyes again. Maybe what Yan Xiang said was wrong.

Yuan Shao just didn't want to send troops to support his own excuse. The envoy sent to Jingzhou would tell him that Liu Biao had already Troops were sent to attack Xuzhou.

Soon the envoy sent to Jingzhou came in, and his face was very ugly.

Yan Xiang closed his eyes when he saw the face of the envoy sent to Jingzhou, and it was exactly the same as what he just said. (Read the Baoshuang novel , just go to Feilu Novel Network!)

"Report to my lord!"

"The villain is incompetent, Liu Biao said that Cao Cao attacked Nanyang deliberately to show him"

"Liu Biao said that once he sends troops, he will fall into Lin Yuan's ambush."

"Liu Biao decided not to send troops to attack Xuzhou. When Cao Cao saw that Liu Biao did not send troops, he would lead his army back to Xuzhou, and the crisis in Nanyang was naturally resolved."

The envoy looked at Yuan Shu and said what Liu Biao told him word for word.

Yuan Shu had a wry smile on his face when he heard the envoy's words. Sure enough, Yan Xiang was right again.

All this was Lin Yuan's plan. The letter played between Liu Biao and Yuan Shao. When all the ministers in the hall heard the words of the envoy from Jingzhou, their last hope was gone.

They were afraid in their hearts, because they knew very well that Yuan Shu was relatively strong among the princes.

But Compared with the current Cao Cao, it is still far behind. No matter how strong Nanyang City is, it will be broken one day.

They know very well that if Cao Cao continues to attack Nanyang, Nanyang will be broken one day.

"Yan Xiang, if you send an envoy to see Liu Biao and Yuan Shao and tell them the truth about Lin Yuan's plan, will they send troops to support them?"

Yuan Shu waited for a while and looked at Yan Xiang with a trace of expectation on his face.

Yan Xiang had a wry smile on his face when he heard Yuan Shu's words,"Liu Biao and Yuan Shao already believe that the purpose of Lin Yuan's plan is Jingzhou."

"Even if an envoy is sent to tell them, they will not believe the truth about Lin Yuan's plan."[]

"For the present plan, we can only rely on the lord and his army."

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

"What does this mean?"

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

"Yuan Shao and Liu Zhan now believe that Cao Cao's attack on Nanyang is just a show of force. As long as Nanyang City can hold on for a while longer,"

"Yuan Shao and Liu Biao could naturally see that Cao Cao really wanted to capture Nanyang"

"At that time, the two of them will send troops to support Nanyang in order not to be occupied by Cao Cao."

"The lord should learn from Gongsun Zan and defend Nanyang. As long as the city of Nanyang is not broken, things will turn around."

Yan Xiang had a look of perseverance on his face after saying this.

Yan Xiang admired Lin Yuan's plan very much. He deceived the two princes Liu Biao and Yuan Shao with a personal letter.

However, Lin Yuan's plan also had shortcomings, that is, as long as Nanyang City persists After a while,

Liu Biao and Yuan Shao will know that the real purpose of Lin Yuan and Cao Cao is to capture Nanyang.

At that time, the turning point will come, but can Yuan Shu hold on for as long as Gongsun Zan?

Everyone in the hall heard Yan Xiang's words, and there was a glimmer in their eyes. Light.

Just now, they thought that Nanyang City would definitely be breached, but now there is still a chance to save Nanyang City.

Yuan Shu had a look of excitement on his face when he heard Yan Xiang's words, and Yan Xiang's words reminded him

".According to the general's military order, as long as Nanyang City is defended for a period of time, each soldier's food and salary will be doubled."

The most Yuan Shu has is money and food. In order to defend Nanyang, he is willing to give money to double the food and salary for the soldiers.

Yan Xiang nodded slightly when he heard Yuan Shu's words. Food and salary are the most important to the soldiers.

With more food and salary, the soldiers will go all out. Guard Nanyang.

Outside Nanyang City, Cao Cao's general tent!

At this time, there are only two people in the general tent, Cao Cao and Lin Yuan.

"My dear son-in-law, your method is really good. The siege army did not suffer many casualties in the past two days, and the soldiers defending Nanyang City were also very tired."

Cao Cao looked at Lin Yuan with a smile on his face

"The main force in attacking Nanyang was Zhao Yun's army in disguise."

"The soldiers on the front are just to attract Yuan Shu's attention. In order to make Yuan Shu believe"

"Frontal siege is still necessary, but we need to change the decision-making process to reduce the casualties of soldiers. Lin

Yuan said with a smile on his face.

In the past two days, the army followed his decision and frequently attacked Nanyang City Gate.

This put a lot of pressure on the defending soldiers, but every attack was done to the point.

Let's Cao Cao's soldiers reduced casualties, putting greater pressure on Yuan Shu's soldiers.

Yuan Shu believed that the frontal army would definitely break through the front gate of Nanyang

"Ha ha!"

"If Yuan Shu knew the truth, he would definitely be very angry."(Is the king good?)

"The envoys Yuan Shu sent to Jingzhou and Jizhou must have told these two people about Yuan Shu's request for help."

Cao Cao said with a solemn look on his face.

Lin Yuan saw the solemn look on Cao Cao's face and knew what Cao Cao was worried about. Lin Yuan looked at Cao Cao and said:

"There is no need for the father-in-law to worry. Yuan Shao and Liu Biao still think that the son-in-law is preparing to ambush Liu Biao on his way out of Jingzhou to Xuzhou."

"When his father-in-law led an army to attack Nanyang, Yuan Shao and Liu Biao seemed to be just a cover and would not send troops to support Yuan Shu."

After Lin Yuan finished speaking, there was a smile on his face. His handwritten letter to Liu Biao was used to confuse the two of them.

Cao Cao also smiled when he heard Lin Yuan's words, and then frowned:"The words of a good son-in-law. Although it's true"

"It's just that the attack on Nanyang will not be delayed for too long. Yuan Shao and Liu Biao will surely realize within a few days of the attack. The goal of this battle is to attack Nanyang rather than Jingzhou."

After Cao Cao finished speaking, there was a trace of worry on his face.

Although there were not many casualties in the army in the past two days, the results of the attack on Nanyang were average. At this rate, it will take some time to capture Nanyang.

Lin Yuan smiled when he heard Cao Cao's words. :"My father-in-law just talked about Zhao Yun's disguised military uniform."

"In the past two days, the frontal battlefield attracted the attention of Yuan Shu's army. Zhao Yun must have led soldiers in disguise to go around behind Nanyang City."

"Once the city commander sees Zhao Yun and his soldiers, they will naturally open the city gate and let Zhao Yun and his army enter Nanyang City through the side gate."

"By then, the defense of Nanyang City will be in chaos, and the frontal army can also take advantage of the situation to attack Nanyang City."

"In this way, Yuan Shu will definitely lose if he is attacked from both sides!"

Cao Cao smiled when he heard Lin Yuan's words. Just now he was too worried that the front army had forgotten Zhao Yun and his army in disguise.

"Report!".
