After Yuan Shu arrived in Wancheng, he didn't do much rest, and on the same day, he gathered his subordinates together to discuss the matter of dealing with Liu Biao. At this moment, in addition to Ji Ling, Xu Chu, Yu She, Chen Zhong, Xun Yan, and Yuan Yao, Yuan Shu's subordinates who followed him to the south, as well as Yang Hong, Zhang Xun, who were originally guarding Nanyang, and Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, and Gao Shun, who were newly under Yuan Shu's command, can be described as full of talents.

After everyone arrived, Yuan Shu's eyes fell on Yang Hong, and said, "Yuan'an, tell me about the current situation in Nanyang." ”

Yang Hong stood up when he heard this, and he didn't shirk, saluted around, and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, in June, Liu Biao sent his general Wen Ping to lead 30,000 troops to attack Nanyang, and captured Caiyang, Xiangxiang, Pingshi, Xinye and other counties all the way. Later, Captain Pan and Master Yan led troops to help, and finally beat Wen Ping out of Xinye, but Liu Biao also personally led an army of 30,000 to the north, with Wang Wei as the general, supported Wen Ping, and attacked Xinye again. ”

As soon as Yang Hong's voice fell, the faces of all the civil and military forces under Yuan Shu's command were not good-looking, and now the situation in Nanyang seemed to be a little worse than they expected, Pan Feng, Yan Xiang and a Xiahou Lan, in the face of a Liu Biao, actually fought a defensive battle, and could only defend and counterattack according to Xinye County, which was not the same as the situation they expected before.

Yuan Shu's gaze also swept over everyone at this time, and then said: "You must be clear about the situation in Nanyang now, I don't know what you think?" ”

At this time, everyone faced each other, and no one was the first to stand up, and Yuan Shu was also a little helpless when he saw this, so he named Xun Yan.

"Hugh Ruo, what do you think, tell me about it."

"No!" Xun Yan was also a little helpless, but since Yuan Shu had named him, he had no possibility of refusing, if he forcibly resigned, it would only cause Yuan Shu's dissatisfaction.

"Lord, I'll ask Yang Changshi something about it first."

Hearing Xun Yan's words, Yuan Shu naturally wouldn't disagree, and said, "Ask." ”

Xun Yan only looked at Yang Hong after getting Yuan Shu's approval, and asked, "Yang Changshi, let me ask Liu Yan how many troops he has gathered in the land of Xinye, how long has he been attacking Xinye, and what are the changes?" ”

Faced with Xun Yan's series of questions, Yang Hong did not panic, and said: "Wen Ping first sent 30,000 troops, and then Liu Biao led 30,000 troops to support, counting the battle damage, now Liu Biao's troops on hand are about 40,000 to 50,000, and it has been about half a month since he attacked Xinye, but he didn't find anything wrong." ”

When Yuan Shu heard Xun Yan's question, he couldn't help but be a little curious, and asked, "Xiu Ruo, what are you worried about?" ”

Xun Yan said: "The subordinates are worried about whether Liu Biao will divide the troops, there are at least 20,000 people in the hands of Captain Pan and Master Yan in the land of Xinye, and it is difficult to capture the troops in Liu Xian's hands, and it is not impossible to choose to divide the troops to attack elsewhere with less than 50,000 troops in Liu Xian's hands." ”

Yuan Shu nodded, and then said: "In this way, Yuan'an, you send more people, pay attention to Liu Biao's movements, and report it immediately if there is any change." ”

"Subordinates obey!"

Yuan Shu's gaze scanned the four directions again, and said, "The top priority now is to find a way to repel Liu Biao, I wonder if you have any good strategies to break the enemy?" ”

What Yuan Shu said this time did not make the scene fall into a cold silence, only to see Chen Zhong stand up and say: "Lord, now Xinye has an army of 20,000, and we also have an army of 50,000 here, of which 20,000 are led by Wen Hou and the wolf cavalry of Bingzhou, no need for any strategy, just pull the army to Xinye, you can defeat Liu Biao in a dignified manner, in the face of absolute strength, even if Liu Biao has any conspiracy and tricks, it cannot make up for the gap in the combat effectiveness of the two sides." ”

As he spoke, Chen Zhong's spiritual sense splashed slightly, and reminded Yuan Shu that they also had a task this time to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, to let Lu Bu and Liu Biao fight, and consume Lu Bu's strength, of course, they couldn't go too far, after all, Lu Bu was a tiger, and such a character was also forced too much, otherwise it would not be good once Lu Bu counterattacked.

Yuan Shu also understood what Chen Zhong meant, and ordered: "In this way, the 50,000 army will set off tomorrow and go to Xinye as quickly as possible, I want to see what strength this Liu Biao has to dare to think about my Nanyang, this time I must defeat him, let him know that I Yuan Shu is not easy to mess with." ”

After Yuan Shu finished his impassioned words, he looked at Lu Bu and said, "Fengxian, when you get to Xinye, you see yours, I have heard of the prestige of the wolf ride in Bingzhou, but I have never seen it with my own eyes, can you let me open my eyes this time?" ”

At this time, everyone's eyes were focused on Lu Bu, and Lu Bu seemed to be used to such a situation, and said: "It's just a little Liu Biao, and it's enough for me to do it." ”

Hearing Lu Bu's rampant words, all the generals under Yuan Shu's command were a little displeased, was this Lu Bu mocking them as a bunch of waste, although Lu Bu didn't say it explicitly, but all the generals saw arrogance and recklessness in Lu Bu's eyes, as well as disdain for them.

Although all the generals under Yuan Shu were a little unhappy with Lu Bu's attitude, because of Lu Bu's prestige, no one could have a seizure. I had to secretly curse Lu Bu in my heart that it would be better to be defeated this time, and even Lu Bu would be killed.

However, the generals under Yuan Shu are just thinking about it, what kind of person is Lu Bu, that is like today's recognized number one general, his strength is the best in the world, in terms of one-on-one, no one is confident that he can defeat Lu Bu today. And the wolf knights under Lu Bu are all people from Bingzhou, fighting with the Huns in the Bingzhou region all the year round, with strong combat power, and Lu Bu, the first cavalry commander in the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Han Dynasty, Mo said that Liu Biao only has 50,000 people, even if there are 100,000 people, as long as Lu Bu finds a chance, he will only be defeated.

Cavalry, in the right place to play the lethality and deterrence is extremely terrifying, this is also the reason why the princes of the world will find a way to form cavalry as long as they have the opportunity, who doesn't want to have such a strong army under their command?

Yuan Shu glanced at Lu Bu with deep meaning, and then said: "Since Feng Xian is so confident, then I look forward to Feng Xian's performance, and I hope that Feng Xian will not let me down." ”
