The entire Qingzhou quickly spread as Cao Ang fell into Liu Yuan's hands, and fell into a strange atmosphere.

All the important ministers under Cao Cao are paying attention to the progress of this matter.

Just when they had a headache and should stand over there, Huang Zhong of Yuzhou had already led his army to the outside of Xuchang City.

During this time, Huang Zhong was overwhelmed, and conquered fifteen cities under Yuan Xi in a row.

At this time, there was only one city left in Yuan Xi's hands, which was Xuchang City in front of him, and Yuan Xi's current performance was not much better than his eldest brother Yuan Tan.

Even Yuan Xi is not as good as his eldest brother in some aspects, at least his eldest brother Yuan Tan still has the determination to resist, on the other hand, Yuan Xi's first thought at this time is to go out of the city and surrender.

If it weren't for the desperate persuasion of his subordinates, maybe Yuan Xi would have ordered the city gate to be opened by now, and personally went to welcome Huang Zhong outside the city into the city.

At this time, Yuan Xi was extremely depressed, sitting in his place, and in front of him stood two generals, these two were Yuan Xi's ministers Jiao Touch and Zhang Nan.

"Lord, now is not the time to be discouraged, Huang Zhong outside the city has already surrounded the entire Xuchang. If the lord does not give the order to defend against the enemy, then the lord's inheritance will not be guaranteed! ”

"General Jiao Touch, what you said is light. Ordering the enemy to be fed? Ben Hou wanted to give an order, but outside the city, Huang Hansheng had nearly 100,000 men and horses, so how many people did we have? All the soldiers in the entire Xuchang City combined, at most, there are only more than 30,000 people! Such a big gap, how do you let Ben Hou order! ”

"Could it be that the lord intends to give up on this? When the old lord was here before, the lord was not like this! Besides, if the lord ordered to surrender, didn't he think about your fate? ”

"What happened to Ben Hou? What can happen to this? It's nothing more than going to Jizhou to be a carefree marquis, which is better than losing your life here! ”

"Lord, you are a little naïve to think! What kind of person is Jizhou Liu Yuan, how could he allow you to live in this world! Once you fall into his hands, you will not survive for more than three days! ”

"What, scorching you Hugh is here to be alarmist! Ben Hou has already surrendered, can it be said that Liu Yuan can't tolerate Ben Hou? ”

"Lord, you are confused! If you think about it carefully, wouldn't Liu Yuan be asking for trouble by leaving you! Now Cao Chengcheng of Qingzhou is calling on the princes of the world to discuss Liu Yuan, if you leave you, can Liu Yuan leave Jizhou with confidence? ”

"This~ Then what do you say to do now?"

"According to the foolish opinion of the last general, now we should swear to defend Xuchang to the death! Xuchang is a fortified city that is not inferior to Luoyang. As long as we defend desperately, it will not be so easy for Huang Zhong to take Xuchang! ”

"Desperate guards? We also have the strength to defend desperately, and now the elite under Ben Hou is about to be lost, what do you let Ben Hou take to guard Xuchang! ”

"Don't worry, my lord, the last general has only said half of what he just said. When we are desperately defending Xuchang City, General Zhang Nan will take the opportunity to break out of the siege and go to the third prince to ask for reinforcements. As long as the third prince agrees to send troops, I believe that the day when Huang Zhongpifu retires will not be far away! ”

"The third child, haha, are you waiting for this! The third child is now entangled with Yuan Shupifu, where can he have reinforcements to save my second brother? “

"Lord, you don't know about this, some time ago, the third prince did have some friction with the highway general! But some time ago, under the mediation of Cao Gong, now the two have shaken hands and made peace! This time, General Zhang Nan is going, maybe he can bring the soldiers and horses of the highway general with him! “

"What, how can this be? If that's the case, it's great, Xuchang is finally saved! General Jiao Touch, this is the appointment of you as the commander of this battle, and Xuchang City will be handed over to you! “

"No!"

Jiao Touch showed a relieved smile on his face after seeing that his lord Yuan Xi had finally made up his mind to resist.

He responded to the lord's order with great firmness, and then left Yuan Xi's mansion with Zhang Nan.

After leaving Yuan Xi's mansion, Jiao Fu's expression changed abruptly, and the previous worry and firmness all disappeared, replaced by a sinister color.

Zhang Nan behind him looked preoccupied, he first looked around cautiously, and after finding that no one noticed them, Zhang Nan lowered his voice and said:

"Brother Jiao, are we not kind to the Lord like this? After all, the lord treats our brothers well, so let's go to Cao Gong, why do you want to put the lord to death? ”

"Brother Zhang, no poison, no husband, small amount is not a gentleman! I feel that it is impossible to be a gentleman in this life, but there are some things that must not be soft-hearted! ”

"But ......"

"Nothing good! The two of us brothers want to defect to Cao Gong, and according to the current situation, the 30,000 elites that we said before can't be brought. Then we'll have to find another petition! And Yuan Xi and Huang Zhong are a meeting gift to Cao Gong! ”

"Brother Jiao, if we want to deal with Huang Zhong, then the little brother has nothing to say! But why do you want to bring your lord with you? The lord treated our brothers very well before, and I am really disturbed to do this! ”

"Brother Zhang, I was also forced to be helpless, how could Huang Zhong be so easy to deal with! If you want to deal with Huang Zhong, you have to find an opportunity, and now is a golden opportunity! As long as we can let Yuan Xi, Yuan Shang and even Yuan Shu fight to the death with Huang Zhong. When the time comes, wouldn't Cao Gong be able to easily take Yuzhou and Yangzhou! Even if we can't figure it out, we can still break Liu Yuan's arm, how can Cao Gong not reuse you and my brothers when the time comes? ”

"This~ okay. But I still hope that I can save the life of the lord. Otherwise, you will be uneasy in the next life! ”

"Don't worry, Brother Zhang. If it is not necessary, he does not want to hurt Yuan Xi. I promise you that as long as I have the opportunity, I will save Yuan Xi's life. That's okay, right? ”

"Okay, then let's do what we do?"

"Okay, I'll order all the people and horses, and go to drag Huang Zhong's horseman. And Brother Zhang, your responsibility is extremely heavy, you must pull Yuan Xi and Yuan Shu's people here. Only in this way will we have a chance to win in the chaos! ”

"Good!"

After the two reached an agreement, they immediately began to act, and Jiao Chao immediately went to the military camp in the city to assemble the team, and then he took the initiative to go out of the city to fight.

Zhang Nan returned to his mansion, and now all their hopes were focused on him, for this day he had spent a lot of money to buy a peerless horse.

I believe that with this peerless horse, he will definitely be able to break through Huang Zhong's defenses, thus leading Yuan Shang and Yuan Shu into their trap!
