Yuan Jian sighed: "It's not enough to just do your best, now the strong enemy is around, eyeing the tiger, but the lord is unaware, if it goes on like this, it won't be long before the catastrophe is coming!" ”

It can be seen that Yuan Jian has felt a great threat to Cao Cao's thirsty move, compared to his lord who is only greedy for pleasure and perverse, Cao Cao is much stronger, such a person, in any era, will be the hero of the world, not to mention, he also has Yingchuan celebrities competing to serve, especially the Xun family, which is known as the head of Yingchuan, is a lot of talents, in addition to Xun Yu, Xun Yu and other Wang Zuozhicai assisted by Cao Cao's side, he also has many famous generals to follow, There are relatives and brothers of the Xiahou clan and the Cao clan who fought for him around Cao Cao, and brave people from all over the world defected to Cao Cao's command, and for a while the powerful generals gathered together, if such a person can not become a hegemon, then no one in the world is qualified to become the king of the world.

It was precisely because of excessive worry and worry that Yuan Jian would suddenly rush into anger and cough violently, he had already been angry and sick in bed after being humiliated, and now after learning that Cao Cao was so eloquent, he was even more worried and uneasy, making him even more sick.

Seeing that Yuan Lian was ill like this, Yan Xiang was worried that his body would not be able to hold on, so he quickly stood up and wanted to go out to find a doctor.

Although Yuan Jian claimed that it was a heart disease that could not be cured by ordinary medicine, Yan Xiang also knew that if he continued to make him sick like this, heart disease would also kill him.

Seeing Yan Xiang standing up and wanting to go out, Yuan Lian didn't know where he got the strength, grabbed Yan Xiang's hand, and said, "Brother Xian, listen to me first!" ”

Seeing that Yuan Lian, who was so seriously ill, still had the strength to catch him, Yan Xiang was also taken aback, if there was really something important to explain, Yuan Lian would not have burst out with such amazing strength.

Yan Xiang saw it in his eyes, so he could only sit down again and asked, "Brother Yaoqing, is there anything else I need to serve?" ”

Yuan Jian panted and said: "Brother Xian has a great responsibility to go to Xuzhou, we must drag Cao Cao's army and let them leave Xuzhou!" ”

Yuan Lian spoke hoarsely, for fear that Yan Xiang would miss a word.

But Yan Xiang knew that he was so nervous about explaining something, how could Yan Xiang not listen carefully? Even if Yuan Lian's voice was like a mosquito, Yan Xiang could still hear it, not to mention that Yuan Lian spoke so loudly that he seemed to be willing to shout out his throat, how could Yan Xiang not hear it?

Although Yan Xiang heard Yuan Lian's words clearly, he didn't quite understand the meaning of what he said, so Yan Xiang asked, "Brother Yaoqing, why are you so nervous about whether Cao Jun can stay in Xuzhou?" Could it be that Brother Yao Qing knows something? ”

After Yuan Jian finished saying those words, he was already exhausted, his voice became a little hoarse because of the shouting just now, and because he tried his best to speak, his breath became weak, and he was also weak when he spoke.

But even though he was exhausted, Yuan Lian still insisted on saying to Yan Xiang: "I don't know, but my intuition tells me that if Cao Jun can continue to drag Xuzhou, something big will inevitably happen in Yanzhou behind him." ”

After being reminded by Yuan Lian, Yan Xiang suddenly remembered something, so he said: "If it weren't for Brother Yaoqing's reminder, I almost forgot, Cao Jun has been in Xuzhou for almost three months, and after fighting abroad for such a long time, Yanzhou behind him has not changed, which is already rare, not to mention that hundreds of thousands of Cao Jun spend a huge amount of money and food every day, and it is already a miracle to be able to support it before running out of grain and grass, after all, with the power of Yanzhou and one state, it is not easy to support the money and grain expenses of hundreds of thousands of troops for several months, Even with Huainan's money and grain reserves, it will be difficult to support such a large number of troops to fight abroad for several months, not to mention that Yanzhou is far less abundant than Huainan's money and grain, and being able to do it without breaking the money and grain can only show that Cao Cao does have Wang Zuozhicai by his side to help, and it is possible to support hundreds of thousands of Cao troops to stay in Xuzhou for so long with the power of Yanzhou. ”

Yuan Lian's brows were furrowed, and he didn't know if it was because he was uncomfortable, or because he was worried?

He said: "Yes, Cao Cao has so many wizards around him to help, even if he doesn't have a rich place like Huainan, he can make up for the lack of material resources with human efforts, which is really admirable

Fear. ”

After a pause, Yuan Jian continued: "However, no matter how fierce the beast is, it also has its weaknesses, and the biggest hidden danger of Cao's army is that it has been out for too long, and it is easy to change after a long time, as long as we can delay it for a little longer, something will definitely happen in Yanzhou!" ”

Yuan Lian's intuition is not purely based on feelings, but based on his years of experience, and the wisdom of scheming, just as Yuan Feng has not passed away, he has already won over the elders of the Yuan family for Yuan Shu, as well as the seizure of Nanyang and Runan, the two big counties of money and grain, are all manifestations of Yuan Shu's unique vision, and now Yuan Shu can have such strength today, all of which rely on Yuan Shu's careful planning, but Yuan Shu not only thanked this hard-working old minister, but also teased and humiliated him in every way, making him sad and angry, As a result, he was bedridden, and the result was really embarrassing.

Of course, Yan Xiang knew the judgment of his confidant and friend, so when he said this request, Yan Xiang agreed: "Yan Xiang will definitely try his best to hold Cao Jun back until Yanzhou changes." ”

Yuan Lian looked at Yan Xiang gratefully, he had always felt deeply guilty about Yan Xiang, because of his relationship, this Yan Xiang had a lot of skills but had not been able to show it, and he was still just a small role with no name under Yuan Shu, but instead of resenting himself, Yan Xiang was still obedient to his words, if it weren't for the friendship of sharing weal and wordial, how could a scholar who was full of wealth be willing to be subservient to others and be unknown? Therefore, Yuan Jian has endless apologies and gratitude for Yan Xiang.

Yan Xiang saw Yuan Lian's expression, how could he not know what he was thinking? But the last thing he wants to hear is the apology and gratitude of his friends, in his opinion, life in the world, having a confidant is already the most satisfying thing, what fame and fortune, for him is just a passing cloud, not worth mentioning at all, as long as a good friend a word, even if it is in the water and fire, he is willing to rush in, and he does not ask for anything in return.

Yan Xiang is such a righteous person who is willing to stick a knife in the ribs for his friends, completely different from his thin body, he is more like a heroic hero, rather than a weak scholar with crepe.
