After Wei Yan received the double orders from Xun Yan and Yuan Yao, he happily led Xun Yan to gather 10,000 Yuan Shu soldiers from Xiangyang City to Yicheng County to support Pan Feng.

Wei Yan is now less than twenty years old, and his cultivation is already very good among his peers, and Wei Yan at this age is also extremely belligerent, but following this Yuan Yao, he rarely has the opportunity to go to the battlefield in person, and their existence is more to protect Yuan Yao in Yuan Shu's eyes. After all, with Yuan Yao's cultivation now, he has no power to protect himself.

This time, Xun Yan really can't find anyone, and this task will fall to Wei Yan, otherwise, if Xun Yan has other candidates, he will not draw people from Yuan Yao's hands. But no matter what, Wei Yan was still very happy to be able to go to the battlefield, although he had to face Huang Zhong, a peerless fierce man who could fight with Lu Bu, but Wei Yan had no fear on his face.

After Wei Yan led his troops away, there were only 25,000 soldiers and horses left in Xiangyang City, of which 20,000 were the original garrisons of Xiangyang City, but most of them were recruits, and there were not many soldiers who had seen blood, and the remaining 5,000 people were the soldiers and horses brought by Yuan Yao to Xiangyang City this time, most of them were elites, but there were still some recruits.

After Wei Yan led his troops away, Xun Yan found Yuan Yao.

Xiangyang City was originally the capital of Jingzhou, and it was also the place where Liu Biao lived when he served as the assassin of Jingzhou, so there was a assassin mansion in the city, after Yuan Shu left Xun Yan and Pan Feng to sit in Xiangyang City, this original Jingzhou assassin mansion became Xun Yan's office location, as for Pan Feng, the main task is to train soldiers and arrange city defenses, and basically will not appear in this assassin mansion.

At this moment, in the Assassin's Mansion, Xun Yan looked at Yuan Yao, who was sitting opposite him and behaved politely, and said softly: "Childe, my subordinates hope that you can leave Xiangyang City as soon as possible." ”

"Oh!" Yuan Yao didn't have any surprise on his face, and asked, "Why?" ”

Xun Yan looked at Yuan Yao's expression, couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, and said: "Childe, Liu Biao ordered Huang Zhong and Wen Ping to counterattack this time, I think there must be something strange in it, I am afraid that there will be a war in Nanjun next, for the sake of Childe's safety, I still hope that Childe can leave Xiangyang City and return to Nanyang." ”

Xun Yan knew that with Yuan Yao's intelligence, it was impossible not to know his thoughts, but since Yuan Yao pretended to be stupid, it meant that Yuan Yao was unwilling to go back, but there were some things that even if Yuan Yao was unwilling, Xun Yan still had to do it.

Yuan Yao looked at Xun Yan at this moment and said softly: "Xun Taishou, this war in Nanjun is about to start, do I have to leave Xiangyang City?" And Xiangyang City is one of the few strong cities in the world, how much time did we spend in order to capture this city, if Liu Biao really made a move, do you think Nanyang will have Xiangyang City safe? ”

Last year, in order to allow Xun Yan to better manage the government affairs of Xiangyang City and Nanjun, Yuan Shu named Xun Yan as the Taishou of Nanjun in the name of the general, and justifiably managed the government affairs of Xiangyang City and several surrounding counties. So now there is nothing wrong with Yuan Yao calling Xun Yan Xun Taishou.

This time Yuan Yao went south to Xiangyang City to train himself, and at the same time tempered his 5,000 soldiers with war, and now Liu Biao wants to launch a counterattack, which is exactly what Yuan Yao wants to see. Yuan Yao hoped that Liu Biao could be solved, and only by solving Liu Biao could they justifiably attack other counties in Jingzhou, and even include Jingzhou in their pockets.

Now Liu Biao is still the titular Jingzhou Taishou, occupying the four counties of Jingnan and the small half of the southern counties, and his strength is not weak, and because of Liu Biao's position as the Jingzhou Taishou, Liu Biao occupies a favorable position for the rule of the people at the bottom of Jingzhou. Only by solving Liu Biao can Yuan Shu's side better attack Jingzhou.

It's a pity that Liu Biao is also a hero, and after being beaten out of Xiangyang City, he became even more conscious, and it was not easy to solve him.

Xun Yan looked at Yuan Yao and said, "Childe,"

Before Xun Yan could speak, he was stopped by Yuan Yao waving his hand, only to see Yuan Yao say: "Xun Taishou, I understand what you are worried about, but who else in Xiangyang City is safer than me Yuan Yao now?" ”

Hearing Yuan Yao's words, Xun Yan was also silent, the guards around Yuan Yao were extremely powerful, Qi Ji and Qin Yi were the two full-time guards sent to Yuan Yao by Yuan Shu, all of whom were cultivators of the Yun Jin Realm, and Yuan Yao had five major armies under his command, although the strongest Wei Yan led his troops to support Pan Feng, but the strength of the remaining Zhou Cang, Pei Yuanshao, Liao Hua, and Huo Du was not bad. Counting up, there are as many as six Yun Jin Realms that Yuan Shu can use in his hands now, so if he can't guarantee Yuan Yao's safety, then he doesn't know what is safe.

Seeing Yuan Yao's resolute attitude, Xun Yan didn't do much to dissuade him, just as Yuan Yao said, if it was not safe for him to have six Yun Jin Realm guards around him, it would not be safe even if he withdrew to Nanyang. Xun Yan actually came to persuade Yuan Yao just in case, in his heart Xun Yan didn't think that Liu Biao would be able to hit Xiangyang City, even if he hit Xiangyang City, there was a large array of Xiangyang City protectors that had been repaired, and Xun Yan was sure enough to defend Xiangyang City.

When Xun Yan and Yuan Yao didn't know it, in a few days, Xiangyang City would face a big battle, a battle that would be even more tragic than when Yuan Shu attacked Xiangyang City last year.

Outside the city of Xiangyang, there is the Han River, which is the first tributary of the Yangtze River and a large river. Xun Yan and Pan Feng also strengthened their defense against the Han River waterway after sitting in Xiangyang City, after all, the strength of the Jingzhou Sailor is extremely strong, and although the current Yuan Shu has begun to form a Sailor, the strength on the water is still not as good as the Jingzhou Sailor.

A few days after Wei Yan left Xiangyang City with 10,000 troops to support Pan Feng, a naval army suddenly appeared on the Han River, led by three building boats, followed by the rest of the ships, all the way upstream, straight to Xiangyang City.

Xun Yan was taken aback when he got the news, you must know that because of the geographical location of Xiangyang City, they also have enough defensive strength on the waterway, although the sailor is not good, but the iron lock Hengjiang is not so easy to break, but now there is actually a sailor who actually appeared on the waterway of the Han River, so how can Xun Yan not be surprised.

After finding out the banner of this water division, Xun Yan was even more shocked, because this water division is the strongest force under Liu Biao now, and the Jingzhou Water Division, the second water division in the world, led by Cai Mao and Zhang Yun.
