Cao Cao in Xiangxian County is indeed very melancholy, Cao Cao has great ambitions for Xuzhou, so after the failure of Yang Rui with Lu Bu in the front, Cao Cao also still has a fluke and wants to stay and get a piece of the pie.

In the final analysis, Cao Cao still lacks a foothold, although Chenliu County is rich, but it has been under the threat of Qingzhou and Yanzhou, which makes Cao Cao feel that he is not in peace all the time.

The land of Xuzhou is also fertile and rich, and it has always been favored by Cao Cao, and at the same time, the former Xuzhou Mu Taoqian is not strong, which is also the reason why Cao Cao invaded the east several times in the name of losing his father.

However, it is not only his Cao Cao family who is staring at the land of Xuzhou, since the plot of the Xuzhou dispute, there are six or seven princes who have directly or indirectly participated in the competition for Xuzhou, and the competition can be described as very fierce.

This did not make Cao Cao too worried, he has always been quite confident in his own strength and strategy, thinking that even if he can't swallow the land of Xuzhou alone, he can get a piece of territory from it, and then slowly try to figure it out.

The most helpless thing about Cao Cao was that Cao Cao felt that Yang Rui took the opportunity of the plot of this Xuzhou dispute to keep an eye on him, and he must be curbed by his feelings!

Looking at the devastated Xiangxian county in front of him, where most of the gate towers and city walls on the east, south and north sides have been eliminated, Cao Cao sighed, in this current situation, I am afraid that it is not so easy to leave and be alone.

At this time, don't look at Qingzhou and Yanzhou, the people of Qingzhou and Yanzhou will not attack in the direction of the West City Gate, and their purpose Cao Cao thinks that he can still see clearly, or once he leaves the city, the rest is to chase and fight. It is inevitable to fall into passivity and suffer heavy losses.

At this time, Yang Rui, who was outside the county seat of Xiangxian County, looked graceful and unhurried to attack. In fact, he has been on guard against the surprise attack that Cao Cao's subordinates may appear at any time.

Overall, Yang Rui still has nearly a million subordinates. It only surrounded the county seat of Xiangxian in three directions, so it was not a big problem to deal with Cao Cao's raid.

At the same time, Yang Rui has the Sky City, and he can control any abnormal movements of Cao Cao's guards in Xiangxian County almost in real time, once Cao Cao's troops have any abnormal actions, Yang Rui can find out in time through the Sky City, and almost will not give the other party the possibility of a surprise attack from a certain city gate.

And Yang Rui was not worried that Cao Cao's troops would escape from the West City Gate, what he wanted was for the other party to slip away in despair, and Yang Rui would use his strength and morale advantage at that time. Compared to the head-on conflict with Cao Cao's troops, it must be much easier.

Otherwise, Yang Rui spent some time using all kinds of siege equipment to directly bulldoze the city wall of Xiangxian County, and a direct head-to-head duel would be, but in that case, Cao Cao's troops would have no way to retreat, and the resistance inspired would definitely be greater!

On the afternoon of the second day, when Yang Rui's slow siege was carried out, Pengcheng sent a fast horse messenger to Yuan Shu and Sun Jian's troops to ask to see Yang Rui.

"Yang Hong, the envoy of Lord Yuan Shuzhou, greets Lord Lieyang Prefecture!"

The person who came was dressed as a Confucian scholar. He bowed to Yang Rui.

Yang Rui looked at it and saw this person with a crown of eloquence. Elegant and extraordinary, listening to his self-introduction, it is Yang Hong, a well-known Yuan Shu general in historical facts.

Yuan Shu's background is extraordinary, but the talents he has gathered are a grade lower than those of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, and there are only a few people who can get their hands on it.

At the same time, Yuan Shu's power did not exist for too long, so most of his generals were not well known.

However, according to the records of historical facts, the one who suggested Yuan Shu to crusade against Xuzhou and prevent Yuan Shu from becoming emperor was the long history of Yuan Shu - Yang Hong, which shows that this person still has a lot of extraordinary, and Yang Rui also knows a lot about it.

It's just that the image of Yan Xiang is highlighted in the romance, and the behavior of admonishing Yuan Shu to become the emperor is placed on Yan Xiang, and Yang Hong's role is not mentioned.

Of course, Yan Xiang is the master of Yuan Shu, what is the specific level, since he has not been in contact, Yang Rui does not dare to make a judgment too arbitrarily.

"Yang Hong's long history doesn't have to be polite, I have heard the long history of the great name for a long time, I know that the long history is erudite, I just hate and have no chance to visit, please sit, please sit, I will treat the long history well today, don't get drunk and don't return......"

Yang Rui once found Yuan Shu when he was promoting filial piety and Maocai, but at that time, there was no Yang Hong among his team of civil and military generals, and this was also the first time Yang Rui saw Yang Hong.

In the face of Yang Hong, Yang Rui was very enthusiastic, which made people feel that it was not because he was the long history of Yuan Shu, but more inclined to appreciate Yang Hong's personal ability.

Yang Hong listened to Yang Rui's words, and saw Yang Rui's undifferentiated body movements, and suddenly his perception of Yang Rui improved a lot.

"Thank you for your appreciation, I am here to contact the Lieyang Governor for the Lord, and I hope that the Governor can send siege equipment to help the Lord and Sun Jian to attack Pengcheng......"

Although he was greatly courteous to Yang Rui, Yang Hong never forgot the purpose of coming, and waited until he sat down under Yang Rui's invitation, and then opened his mouth to tell the task of this trip.

Yang Hong's performance also made Yang Rui nod secretly, before Yang Hong spoke, Yang Rui had already guessed that the purpose of his coming here was probably to ask for help, so he did not take the initiative to move closer to the punctuality, but only left and right.

And Yang Hong can recognize this, and at the same time concisely express his intention to Yang Rui clearly, even if it is against the current atmosphere, it can be seen that Yang Hong is also a cool and clear person.

"Yang Hong's long history has also seen that it is difficult for me to attack Cao Cao in this Xiangxian county, so how can I spare my strength to help the lord of the Ru family and Sun Jian?"

Faced with Yang Hong's question, Yang Rui replied with embarrassment.

It is not a bad thing for Yang Rui that Pengcheng can confront each other for a while longer, after all, whether it is Yuan Shu, Sun Jian or Liu Bei, even if it is not as urgent as Cao Cao, they are actually potential threats and opponents of Yang Rui's forces, and Yang Rui is naturally happy to watch them fight back and forth.

"Lord Mu of Lieyang Prefecture, since it is difficult to take the city here in Xiangxian County, it is better to join forces with us and give priority to taking Pengcheng.

This time, the lord of my family and General Sun Jian sent troops to Xuzhou, and what they did was to assist the Lieyang Prefecture Pastor to come, so if Pengcheng could be captured, the lord and General Sun Jian would naturally invite the Governor to jointly manage Xuzhou.

Yang Hong is here to pass on the words of the lord of my family, after Pengcheng is captured, he is willing to rule Xuzhou with the state pastor, and I hope that the state pastor can respond to the ......"

Following Yang Rui's words, Yang Hong's eyes rolled and his intention was fully expressed.

Before Yang Hong's words were finished, the expression on Yang Rui's face was even more embarrassed. (To be continued.) )
