Before arriving outside Xiangyang City, Liu Biao still needed to hide his traces to avoid being noticed by Xun Yan in Xiangyang City, but since he had arrived in Xiangyang City, it was meaningless to continue to hide, and tens of thousands of troops could not hide their traces when they appeared outside Xiangyang City.

When Xun Yan knew that there was a Jingzhou sailor outside Xiangyang City and a large number of Jingzhou foot soldiers, Xun Yan was only slightly stunned before reacting. Xun Yan is also one of the world's first-class sages, although he is not as good as Xun from the Xun family in Yingchuan, but Xun Yan's ability is not weak. It's just that Xun Yan never thought that Liu Biao would make such a move before, so he didn't react, but now that Liu Biao has led the army to appear outside Xiangyang City, if Xun Yan can't react anymore, then he will be left by Yuan Shu to guard Xiangyang City in vain.

After Xun Yan discovered Liu Biao's plan, his first reaction was to transfer Pan Feng and Wei Yan back, but after thinking about it carefully, Xun Yan found that this idea was unrealistic. Since Liu Biao will let Huang Zhong and Wen Ping attack, he must have the ability to entangle Pan Feng, this Pan Feng is estimated to be unable to count on it, and once Pan Feng is transferred, Huang Zhong and Wen Ping can take advantage of the situation to kill all the way to Xiangyang City, and the situation at that time will be even more unfavorable. However, even if Pan Feng couldn't count on it, Xun Yan still had to send someone to find Pan Feng and inform him of the situation that Xiangyang City was facing now.

Since Pan Feng can't count on it, there are only 25,000 troops in Xiangyang City, and they can only defend the city, and it is difficult to counterattack, so if they want to relieve the siege of Xiangyang City, they need to send troops from Nanyang. However, the distance from Wancheng to Xiangyang City is not close, I hope Xiangyang City can hold out until the reinforcements from Wancheng come.

After thinking of countermeasures, Xun Yan found Yuan Yao, Yuan Yao was originally a little surprised why Xun Yan found him, but when Yuan Yao knew from Xun Yan that the Jingzhou army had now appeared outside Xiangyang City, Yuan Yao's face became solemn. Yuan Yao also understands military affairs, and naturally understands that the current Liu Biao led his troops to appear outside Xiangyang City, and there is only one purpose, that is, to take advantage of the fact that Pan Feng and the main force of Xiangyang City are not in Xiangyang City now, and take Xiangyang City.

Yuan Yao looked at Xun Yan at this time and asked, "Xun Taishou, what do you think now?" You and General Pan have the highest positions in Xiangyang City, and now that General Pan is not here, you are the highest commander in Xiangyang City. ”

Xun Yan looked at Yuan Yao and said softly: "Childe, Liu Biao estimates that he will attack Xiangyang City tomorrow, with the current strength of Xiangyang City, it is not difficult to defend, but it is not easy to repel Liu Biao, so we must go to ask for help, and now, only Nanyang can come to support Xiangyang City, so I hope that Gongzi can personally go out of the city to Wancheng and ask Yang Hong for help, only if Wancheng sends troops to help, the danger of Xiangyang City can be solved." ”

After listening to Xun Yan's words, Yuan Yao also understood what Xun Yan meant, that is, Xun Yan hoped that he would go to Nanyang for help, and Yuan Yao also understood that he had to ask for help after understanding the current situation in Xiangyang City, so he agreed.

Xun Yan saw that Yuan Yao agreed, and his face was also relaxed, and said to Yuan Yao: "Childe, since this is the case, then please ask Childe to set off as soon as possible, Liu Biao should attack the city tomorrow, and tonight is the best and last chance." ”

Yuan Yao is indispensable, and when Xun Yan left, his eyes were faint, looking at Yuan Yao, there seemed to be a layer of deep meaning, but Yuan Yao did not find Xun Yan's abnormality.

After Yuan Yao left, he hurriedly went to find Liao Hua, Zhou Cang and others, and after Wei Yan led 10,000 troops to support Pan Feng, there was one less available person around Yuan Yao, but other Liao Hua, Zhou Cang, Pei Yuanshao and others could also be used.

There is Liu Biao's army outside Xiangyang City, and it is very difficult to go to Wancheng for help, and it may be besieged and intercepted by Liu Biao at any time, Yuan Yao is naturally very concerned about his safety. This time I want to go to Wancheng for help, Qi Ji and Qin Yi are naturally going to bring them, these two people are Yuan Yao's exclusive guards, they must be where Yuan Yao is, this is also Yuan Shu's death order for the two of them.

If something happens to Yuan Yao, even if it hurts a hair, the two of them will have to bear Yuan Shu's anger, and now Yuan Shu, his anger is not something that anyone can bear.

In the evening, Yuan Yao instigated the spirit horse and appeared at the gate of Xiangyang City with Qi Ji, Qin Yi, and Zhou Cang, but just when the city gate was wide open and Yuan Yao and his party were about to leave the city, Yuan Yao's mind suddenly flashed, and he stopped with a smile behind him, which made Zhou Cang and the three of them a little puzzled.

Yuan Yao didn't care about these at the moment, pulled Zhou Cang and ordered: "Yuanfu, this time the matter of asking for help will be handed over to you, although Xun Taishou will definitely arrange more than one person to ask for help, but you are the strongest and the fastest, so your hope is the greatest." ”

Although Zhou Cang didn't understand why Yuan Yao did this, didn't he say that Yuan Yao went to ask for help, and he and Qi Ji Qin Yi were responsible for guarding Yuan Yao? Now it's become that he is going to ask for help, and looking at Yuan Yao's appearance, he doesn't plan to go out of the city.

I don't understand, Yuan Yao is now Zhou Cang's top boss, and Zhou Cang didn't dare not listen to his orders, so under Yuan Yao's order, Zhou Cang rode out of the city alone, and after the gate of Xiangyang City was closed, Yuan Yao instigated to sit down and turn back, the target was where Xun Yan was, and Qi Ji and Qin Yi followed closely.

When Xun Yan saw Yuan Yao appear in front of him, his face was shocked, and then his face was full of helplessness, he had done this, but Yuan Yao still turned back, which can only mean that Yuan Yao had seen through everything and was unwilling to follow his arrangement to leave Xiangyang City, so he would reappear here.

Xun Yan smiled bitterly: "Childe, why are you back?" ”

Yuan Yao saluted Xun Yan, and then said, "Xun Taishou, has the situation in Xiangyang City been so bad?" actually asked you to use this method to send me out of the city, although Liu Biao's army is large, but it shouldn't make you so worried. ”

The reason why Xun Yan wanted Yuan Yao to leave Xiangyang City and go to Wancheng for help was to let Yuan Yao leave Xiangyang City, of course, Xun Yan knew that Yuan Yao would not leave if he explicitly said that Yuan Yao would leave, so Xun Yan pretended to let Yuan Yao go to Wancheng for help, but in fact, he wanted Yuan Yao to leave Xiangyang City and go to Wancheng.

But who would have thought that Yuan Yao would actually figure out Xun Yan's plan when he was about to leave the city and return to Xiangyang City again, which made Xun Yan very helpless, but he could only accept this fact.
