Wancheng, Nanyang County.

Yuan Shu held the battle report sent from the front line, his face gradually gloomy, and his subordinates were also silent.

"What a Zhou Ang, a good Zhou family, dare to help that concubine to deal with me, I must destroy your Zhou family!" Yuan Shu, who was sitting at the top, angrily threw the bamboo slip in his hand to the ground, and his heart was furious.

Seeing this, Yang Hong in the hall stepped forward and bent down to pick up the bamboo slip and take a closer look, and was also surprised: "I didn't expect Zhou Ang to be so powerful this time!" ”

It turned out that after Zhou Ang's sneak attack on Yangcheng, Yuan Shu sent Gongsun Yue to lead the army to help Sun Jian.

Unexpectedly, even if Sun Jian and Gongsun Yue joined forces, Zhou Ang defended Yangcheng impregnably, not only repelling Sun Jian again, but also shooting Gongsun Yue.

Gongsun Yue is the younger brother of Gongsun Zhan, and is the liaison between Yuan Shu and Gongsun Zhan, Yuan Shu originally planned to use Gongsun Yue to test the determination of Gongsun Zhan's alliance, who knew that Gongsun Yue not only came to the true alliance, but also worked very hard, and even dedicated his precious life.

The other party's sincerity was too much, enough to make Yuan Shu a little dumbfounded.

"My lord, the matter has come to this, we can only inform Gongsun Zan of Gongsun Yue's death, and send an envoy according to his previous alliance proposal to let him attack Yuan Shao's rear." Yan Xiang also read the battle report and walked out and spoke.

"Well, that's what you say." After Yuan Shu vented, he gradually calmed down.

"Lord, Zhou Ang is so powerful, and he has strangled our army to the north of Yangcheng, which is our current big trouble, and we must eradicate it as soon as possible!" Yang Hong faced Yuan Shu with a sad look in his eyes.

"What Yang Gong said is very true! At this moment, the lord can only add some more soldiers and horses to Sun Jian, so that he can send troops to take Yangcheng as soon as possible. Yan Xiang followed Yang Hong's words and said the most appropriate way at present.

Hearing that he was going to add soldiers and horses to Sun Jian, Yuan Shu's face showed hesitation.

Sun Jian fought bravely, but he was only attached to Yuan Shu, and the relationship between the two was similar to that of an alliance, and there was no direct subordinate relationship.

And what made Yuan Shu haunted the most was that no matter what method Yuan Shu used these days, Sun Jian refused to hand over the heirloom jade seal to himself, which made Yuan Shu a little wary of Sun Jian.

At this time, Yuan Shu was naturally quite reluctant to add soldiers and horses to Sun Jian, but if he didn't do this, the battle of Yangcheng fell into a dead end.

For this battle, neither Yuan Shu nor Yuan Shao personally participated in it, but both of them knew that this battle was related to whose family Yuzhou, the foundation of the old Yuan family, was.

Yuan Shu has always been proud of the Yuan family's son-in-law, so in the battle of Yangcheng, which is related to the lord of the Yuan family, Yuan Shu never thought of losing from the beginning.

"Newspaper—"

"Gongzi Yuan Yao personally led the army from Huaishui to attack Shouchun a month ago, and ordered his subordinate Huang Zhong to take Hefei, captured Zhou Ang's long history, and has been sent to Nanyang!"

After the herald finished speaking, he knelt on the ground, and Yuan Shu and the martial arts under his command were all in a huge shock, and they all stood still like clay sculptures.

Yuan Shu, who was originally in a tangle, reacted and immediately jumped up from the cushion, walked off the stage quickly, came to the front of the herald, and asked excitedly, "Where is my son's messenger?" Hurry up and get him over! ”

For Yuan Shu's order, the herald who knelt down to report naturally did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly got up and ran quickly towards the outside of the hall.

"It's strange, my son Yuan Yao only has two thousand men and horses, and he dares to attack Jiujiang with just this amount of troops?" Yuan Shu, who was turning around in an instant, watched the herald leave, standing in place and muttering to himself in confusion.

"Why should the lord bother with himself, wait for the messenger of the prince to come and ask?" Yang Hong, who was on the side, heard Yuan Shu's words, and replied directly with a smile.

"That's right, hahaha, it seems that I'm in a hurry!" Hearing the good news, Yuan Shu's mood was also like eating honey and smiling very happily.

"If it is really as reported by the herald, then the victory or defeat of the battle of Yangcheng is at this moment, as long as the news of Jiujiang County is transmitted, Zhou Ang will definitely collapse without a fight!" Seeing that everyone had joy on their faces, Yan Xiang took the opportunity to say.

It didn't take long for Wei Zhongxian to come to the hall, followed by Pei Yuanshao and Zhou Ang, who was escorted by Pei Yuanshao.

"Prince's subordinate Wei Zhongxian pays a visit to Duke Yuan!" As soon as Wei Zhongxian came up, he directly bowed to Yuan Shu three times and nine bows, with a pious attitude, and opened everyone's eyes with a courtesy that was almost arrogant.

Could this be the long-lost kneeling lick!

Seeing Wei Zhongxian like this, Yuan Shu was stunned at first, and then his face was filled with an inexplicable comfort, and he hurriedly pulled Wei Zhongxian up, and pretended to complain and said, "Hurry up, how can you treat me so much?" ”

"The subordinates are the servants of the son, and when he sees Yuan Gong, he naturally wants to be filial piety and etiquette for the son." Not caring about Yuan Shu's words, Wei Zhongxian replied with a natural expression.

"My son really has a heart!" Looking at Wei Zhongxian, who had a sincere face, Yuan Shu sighed with relief.

In Yuan Shu's view, Wei Zhongxian's actions were naturally instructed by Yuan Yao, even Yuan Shu, who had been weathered for a long time, was quite emotional, and when he remembered Yuan Yao's appearance in his mind, there was a kind of relief that my family had just grown up.

Wei Zhongxian's hand not only made Yuan Shu feel a warm heart, but also made all the civil and military officers in the hall feel invisible pressure.

Worship Yuan Shu first, and then push this matter to Yuan Yao's head, everything is so natural, it can be called seamless, not only let Yuan Shu feel Wei Zhongxian's full sincerity, but also indirectly sell his son Yuan Yao, which can be described as a double win.

In the hall, the civil and military forces under Yuan Shu instantly felt that something had broken, and there was a feeling of enlightenment and sudden enlightenment.

During this period, Wei Zhongxian talked about Yuan Yao's deeds of killing the Yellow Turban Liu Pi along the way, worshipping ancestors in Ruyang, recruiting troops, and sending troops to Jiujiang, which made everyone secretly surprised.

What's wrong with the world?

Why did Yuan Yao, who has always been proud, bold and afraid of things, change all of a sudden?

How long has it been? You're no longer the familiar son in our eyes!

However...

"Congratulations! Now we can not only easily take Yuzhou, but also the son Yuan Yao has such outstanding talent, it can be described as double happiness! Influenced by Wei Zhongxian, Yang Hong took the lead in congratulating Yuan Shu.

"Congratulations to the lord, congratulations to the lord..."Seeing that Yang Hong grabbed a jackpot, everyone in the hall regretted not seizing the opportunity at the same time, but also scrambled to say goodbye, and for a time the hall was happy and quite spectacular.

"Newspaper—"

"The envoy sent by the imperial court has arrived!"

At this moment, another herald hurried into the hall.

"Biography!" Yuan Shu, who was on the rise, heard that the envoy of the imperial court had arrived, and waved his hand casually.

"After the general Yuan Shu, loyal to protect the country, the town of Nanyang and bless the peace of the party, both ability and political integrity are the shares of the country, the Son of Heaven in order to show the emperor's grace, add Yuan Shu as Yangzhou pastor, the edict to the day, can be carried out quickly!"

"General Hou, congratulations!"

The one who came to deliver the edict was a eunuch of the imperial court, and after reading the edict seriously, he congratulated Yuan Shu with a smile on his face, and even looked a little flattering.

Holding the imperial edict sent by Dong Zhuo in his hand, Yuan Shu's eyes narrowed slightly, as if he had thought of something.
