Yan Xiang said: "Now the situation in Nanyang is the most critical, Liu Biao is determined to capture Nanyang this time, as for Peiguo, Zhang Chao only has 10,000 people in his hands, and it is not an elite army, just send a partial division to resist, now it is necessary to discuss the selection of generals and the number of soldiers and horses sent to Nanyang and Peiguo." ”

Xun Yue said: "The total number of troops that we can use now is 20,000 people, and it is enough to send 3,000 people to deal with Zhang Chao, but in order to be safe, it is best to send 5,000 people, which can be guaranteed, and all the remaining people are sent to Nanyang to solve the danger of Nanyang." ”

Yuan Yao said loudly at this time: "Master Yan, Mr. Xun, Captain Pan, I can go to Peiguo's side, I have three thousand elites under my command, and there are hundreds of cavalry, there is no problem in dealing with a Zhang Chao who is only 10,000 people, and even if it can't be defeated, with the combat strength of 3,000 people under my command, Zhang Chao can be completely blocked in Peiguo, and he will not be allowed to go further, and you will take all the remaining 20,000 people to Nanyang. ”

Yan Xiang and Xun Yue glanced at each other, they naturally knew that the plan Yuan Yao said was a good plan, but once agreed, it meant that Yuan Yao would lead 3,000 people to face Zhang Chao's 10,000 army, how could Yan Xiang and Xun Yue rest assured? Although the strength of Yuan Yao's subordinates Wei Yan, Liao Hua, Zhou Cang, Pei Yuanshao and others is not weak, they are still not at ease to let Yuan Yao go to such a dangerous battlefield.

Yuan Yao also saw Yan Xiang and Xun Yue's doubts, and after thinking for a while, he said: "That's it, let my uncle go with me, with my uncle here, you should be at ease." ”

As soon as Yuan Yao's words came out, everyone's eyes were focused on Yuan Yin, and Yan Xiang and Xun Yue had already made a decision after glancing at each other.

Yuan Yin is Yuan Shu's brother and Yuan Yao's uncle, with Yuan Yin by his side, Yuan Yao should not do anything too risky, and the 3,000 people under Yuan Yao are indeed elite, if there is a suitable commander, it will not be a problem at all to deal with Zhang Chao's 10,000 people, because Zhang Chao's 10,000 people are not elite, and there is no powerful general.

Yan Xiang said: "Zhengping, then you and Gongzi will lead the troops east to Peiguo, be sure to defend Peiguo, and don't let Zhang Chao have the opportunity to make trouble." ”

Yuan Yin got up and said, "Understood." ”

Yan Xiang glanced at everyone again at this time, and said: "A few people have a son on the side of Peiguo, and the remaining 20,000 people will be led by Captain Pan, and Sima of the Xiahou Army will be the vanguard, and they will rush to Nanyang quickly, for the sake of safety, I will also go with the army." ”

"Zhongyu, Yaoqing, Captain Pan and I went to rescue Nanyang, and this land of Runan will be handed over to you to guard, and at this time, we must not let any changes occur in Runan." Yan Xiang looked at Xun Yue and Yuan Jian and said.

Xun Yue and Yuan Lian also knew that the safety of Runan was very important when the army poured out, if there were some moths in Runan at this time, it would be really a bad thing, so at this moment, Xun Yue and Yuan Lian felt that there was a heavy burden on their shoulders, which made their hearts tense.

Yan Xiang's last gaze fell on Yuan Yao, and said: "Gongzi is here, this time you must not be greedy for merit when you go to Peiguo, everything must be obeyed by Zhengping's words, Zhang Chao is also a prince, and he cannot be underestimated." ”

Yuan Yao said: "Master Yan don't worry, how can I, Yuan Yao, be the kind of person who can't tell the difference?" ”

Yan Xiang shook his head, this Yuan Yao's personality is not something he can control, he just hopes that with Yuan Yin by his side, Yuan Yao can be more restrained and not do something that is a headache.

"Lord Yan!" Seeing that Yan Xiang was about to turn around and leave, Yuan Yao shouted.

"Is there anything else going on with Childe?" Yan Xiang was stopped by Yuan Yao, and turned around and asked with a puzzled face.

Yuan Yao said at this time: "Master Yan, You Heng has been coming to Runan for a long time, and this is also the time for him to play a role, although my father has a big family, he can't raise some idlers, right?" ”

Yan Xiang's eyes lit up when he heard this, yes, how could he forget You Heng? This time it was Liu Biao's lord who attacked Nanyang, Liu Biao could not stand on the righteousness, if You Heng could convey this matter to the world at this time, it would definitely be able to deal a blow to Liu Biao in public opinion.

Liu Biao has the title of "Eight Horses" in Shilin, which is also an important reason why Liu Biao can attract many scholars to take refuge in Jingzhou, but these scholars are not Liu Biao's diehards, if You Heng can use his influence to send Liu Biao's division out of the nameless initiative to attack Nanyang, let these scholars know, even if Liu Biao can't withdraw from the army, it will definitely be able to give Liu Biao a headache for a while, and it can greatly damage Liu Biao's prestige in Shilin.

After thinking for a moment, Yan Xiang said to Yuan Lian: "Yaoqing, this matter will be handed over to you, you go and tell You Heng that after we set off, we must spread Your Heng's text all over the world." ”

Although the current Chenjun Yuan clan is not as powerful as the Runan Yuan clan and is famous all over the world, the Chenjun Yuan clan is the direct descendant of the Yuan clan, the ancestor of the Yuan clan, and even the Runan Yuan clan is separated from the Chenjun Yuan clan. In other words, the Chenjun Yuan clan is a descendant, while the Runan Yuan clan is just a branch.

During the Western Han Dynasty, people surnamed Yuan began to emerge in the officialdom, and the people surnamed Yuan at that time regarded Chen County as a county and was the Yuan family of Chen County. Chenjun Yuan's family background is prominent, and the representatives of the family are all advocating pure emptiness, self-denial, not collecting private wealth, not too ambitious, and not too much mixed with various political forces, and there is no conflict with other big families, such a style of action makes Chenjun Yuan's family have a great reputation in Shilin.

During the Eastern Han Dynasty, a branch of the Chenjun Yuan clan moved to Ruyang, Runan, and later developed into the first family in the world today, Runan Yuan, but if you really want to talk about bloodline, Chenjun Yuan's is the root of Runan Yuan, but now in the eyes of the world, the influence of Chenjun Yuan's is not as good as Runan Yuan's. A few hundred years later, the Runan Yuan clan has declined, but the Chenjun Yuan clan still exists, and it still has a good influence, although it is not as good as the so-called "five surnames and seven hopes". But it's also a top-notch family.

If Yuan Lian, who was born in the Yuan clan of Chen County, went to talk to Youheng, this matter would undoubtedly be easier, first, Yuan Lian was born in the Yuan clan of Chenjun, and secondly, Yuan Lian also had some prestige among Shilin, and it was better for him to negotiate with Youheng.
