Xu Shu saw that Yuan Xi was puzzled, and analyzed in detail: "I heard that Cao Cao and Zhang Xiu had a hatred of killing their sons, but I didn't expect Zhang Xiu to be able to see the opportunity and surrender to Cao Cao. The war between Cao's army and our army is imminent, and it is the time to employ people, so the killing is unknown, so we can only accept it. How can a person like Cao Cao, who can anger and kill hundreds of thousands of people in Xuzhou for the sake of his father's revenge, let go of the hatred in his heart, since he can't kill himself, he will borrow our hands. If Zhang Xiu is defeated by our army, it will be a dead end to flee back; If you surrender to our army, it will just be full of Cao Cao's annihilation. Only by defeating us can they have a chance, and since Cao Cao wants to borrow our sword, he will not give Zhang Xiu too good conditions, there are not many soldiers, and there will not be much food and grass. As long as our army besieges and does not attack, he will soon despair, and he will take risks to fight to the death with our army, and Zhang Xiu can be captured at that time. ”

Yuan Xi understood Xu Shu's thoughts, Zhang Xiu is now like a turtle in an urn, trapped in Luoyang, there is no rescue, no food and grass, the only idea is to hide in the turtle shell, delay time and wait for rescue, and in the end he will also know that no one will come to support him at all, and he will also gamble to see if he can escape. After thinking about it, Yuan Xi asked, "As long as you keep besieging Luoyang and waiting for him to fight?" Xu Shu thought for a while and said: "Cao Cao will definitely not come, but the Xiliang army will come after a long time, so we will come to Luoyang first and tempt Zhang Xiu out of the city. However, if you want to beware of the Xiliang army, just look at General Zhang Yan's side, if you can steal Hangu Pass, Zhang Xiu will surrender or be captured by our army.

After listening to Xu Shu's analysis, Yuan Xi was also a lot more relieved, although he was very worried about Guandu, but he still had to deal with his side first, and Yuan Xi also had a very important task, that is, whether he could recruit Sima Yi, although Sima Yi was ambitious, it was also because the power had reached the extreme, and now he should still be an aspiring young man who wanted to contribute his strength to the Han family, but unfortunately the Han family was weak, so he couldn't see hope, so he didn't have the idea of becoming a leader. Later, Sima Yi's complete blackening was also suppressed by others and there was a disaster of extermination. The fourth and third dukes of the Yuan family are the pillars of the Han family, as long as Sima Yi sees that he is really here to save the Han family, maybe he can be invited out of the mountain. With this in mind, Yuan Xi and his army came to Van County, Hanoi.

When Yuan Xi's army arrived in Wen County, this time the situation was different from that of Chaoge, the city gates were closed, and the guards on the city walls were nervously monitoring Yuan Xi's army. Yuan Xi shouted to the guards upstairs and asked: "I am Yuan Xi, the son of the general, leading the righteous army to crusade against the Han thief Cao Cao and save the people from fire and water. The guards upstairs were not easy to fool, and one of the leaders shouted boldly: "The thieves under the city will stop talking nonsense, and the surrounding county towns have believed your words and opened the city gates. Your Yuan army is so brutal, we won't open the city gate, we would rather fight to the death. In the end, all the guards were even more angry with the enemy, shouting to fight to the death.

Yuan Xi said helplessly to Xu Shu: "It seems that Jia Xu is not only a strong wall, but also a false accusation to blame our army, if it is a strong attack, the rumors will be implemented, and the resistance will be more firm." Xu Shu admonished: "I often hear rumors that stop at the wise, why don't the general call the county lord or the wise man in the city to talk to you, it's easier than explaining to a guard." Yuan Xi felt that Xu Shu's words were reasonable, wasn't his purpose to come to Sima Yi this time, patted his head, and asked, "I don't know if there is a person named Sima Yi in the city, and General Ben wants him to come out to talk." Speaking of Sima Yi, he is erudite and talented, and he is also a celebrity in Wen County, so he naturally knows him, and the leader replied: "Is it Sima Zhongda, the second son of Sima Mansion?" When Yuan Xi said that this was the case, the guards hurriedly went to Sima Mansion to invite Sima Yi, in their hearts, Sima Yi was a man of great wisdom, and he knew the generals below, so he would definitely help him get out of trouble.

On Sima's Mansion, at this time, a bored young man was holding a slingshot, aiming at the bird in the book, and at this time, the subordinates of Sima's Mansion hurriedly ran in and shouted: "Young Master, something is wrong!" However, it didn't affect him at all, but his technique was really not very good, and he still didn't hit the birdie, and said to himself: "I haven't practiced for a few days, and this technique is getting worse and worse." Then he turned around and said to his scholar Xiao Liuzi: "When you encounter a small matter, you are so flustered, how can I rest assured that you will do something?" Xiao Liuzi heard it aggrievedly and said: "I'm not worried about you, young master, you're nervous, Yuan Jun has already hit the door, and he asked to see you by name." ”

Sima Yi was suddenly surprised, and hurriedly asked, "It's Yuan Jun outside the city gate, I'm not familiar with them." Xiao Liuzi nodded and said, "It seems that it is Yuan Xi, the son of the general, who wants to see the general by name." "It turned out to be him, the fourth and third duke of the Yuan family, who had nothing to show for himself, and I heard that he had subdued Montenegro some time ago, and this person was famous, and he could see it then. So, Sima Yi packed up his image and walked towards the city gate with Xiao Liuzi.
