was reprimanded mercilessly by Sun Jian, two people with temper, this time they didn't even have a temper at all.

It's just that after Sun Jian left, the faces of the two were not very good-looking.

"I thought you'd turn your face on the spot!" Cai Mao smiled bitterly.

Huang Zu glanced at Cai Mao like a fool and said, "I also thought you would turn your face on the spot."

"If he hadn't beaten us with the back of his knife, I'd have had to turn my face based on what he just said." Cai Mao said weakly, "But who told the people to beat us with the back of a knife, and marched north in a hurry to fight two more battles in a row, and captured Anzhong. And we have just arrived in Anzhong, and you and I know how many days have passed."

"This matter, it doesn't make sense for us to say that the sky is broken, what kind of face? Shame on yourself?!"

Huang Zu directly lay down on the somewhat damp grass again, "Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and squint, we will go north to fight, this time I, Huang Zu, must let them change their opinion of our Jingzhou army!" The Buddha fights for a stick of incense, and I, Huang Zu, must fight for this breath."

Cai Mao said worriedly, "You sleep, I'll go ask for some food."

They themselves carried more than ten days' worth of food with the army, but the rapid march of a day and a night ran so fast that they were all lost.

"Made, why did you forget this?" Huang Zu scolded in a low voice, got up again, patted the soil on his body and said, "I'll go with you, you and I are complicit, embarrassed to be a woman, you can't be scolded alone."

Cai Mao glared angrily, "If you can say a few good words out of your mouth, I still recognize your robe!" new

"Whether you admit it or not is your business, but you and I are complicit, this is a fact, and I still point to you to protect me!" Huang Zu said.

"I can't protect myself, how can I protect you?" Cai Mao scolded angrily.

Huang Zu shook his arm and followed Cai Mao, and said quietly, "Just when I was lying down, I suddenly remembered something. Do you remember the incident when Sun Jianbing came to Xiangyang City not long ago?"

"I'm not old enough to be unconscious, how could something so close be...... I'm your mother." Cai Mao screamed violently, stopped and looked at Huang Zu in shock and said, "I remember, you said that you almost killed Sun Jian?"

"Although even the lord didn't believe my words at the beginning, I really almost killed him......" Huang Zu said weakly.

Cai Mao's expression suddenly seemed to be constipated, "Then you may really die."

"If he had done it, he wouldn't have killed me, right?" Huang Zu asked.

Cai Mao smiled shamefully, "Then you have to take credit first, don't you? You and I have no merit now, only defeat!"

"You better go back and rest, I'll just go to the matter of asking for military rations, lest Sun Jian remember what happened before and use this as an excuse to pick your head to the gate."

Huang Zu felt deeply reasonable, shrunk his neck and nodded again and again, "It makes sense, then there is General Lao Cai!" You must know that you and I are complicit in being a woman, and if you help me today, I will stick a knife in the general's ribs tomorrow."

"you." Cai Mao scolded irritably, turned her head and left.

He now felt like he had a broom star with him.

Yuan Shu had successfully transferred all the gold and silver treasures and sent his younger brother Yuan Yin to escort them to Yizhou.

At the same time, he ordered the general Zhang Xun to supervise all Wancheng soldiers and horses except for the soldiers and horses of the Qiaorui Department to block the imperial army.

After making these arrangements, Yuan Shu was actually ready to slip away.

But suddenly he realized a problem.

If he leaves, he will be exposed.

After thinking about it, he still didn't come up with a way to get the best of both worlds, Yuan Shu had to order someone to recruit his henchman Yang Hong again, and told him that he was ready to leave the city.

After hearing this, Yang Hong persuaded: "Your Majesty, you should hold out to the end, and if you are invincible in the real battle, then your ministers will escort you to Yizhou. And it shouldn't be that before the imperial court soldiers and horses have arrived in Wancheng, Your Majesty, you will directly evacuate."

"That's not what you said before." Yuan

Shu shouted angrily.

Yang Hong explained, "Your Majesty, the minister did suggest that Your Majesty make arrangements earlier. At that time, the minister was just worried that under the attack of the Han army's northern and southern armies, the people of the court would be unstable and the morale of the army would be shaken. But now that the soldiers and horses have been arranged, but there has been no large-scale mutiny, it is enough to see that the courtiers and soldiers are still more interested in your majesty."

"Under such circumstances, Your Majesty should not chill the hearts of the courtiers and soldiers, and should fight until the last moment, and then retreat!"

Yuan Shu was not very receptive to Yang Hong's reason, and asked, "Then do you think we have a chance of winning?"

Yang Hong's face stiffened for a moment, and he said hesitantly: "If Your Majesty asks the minister to tell the truth, the minister can only say that the chances of winning are few......

"If you only have a slight chance of winning, then why are you holding me back? If I don't leave now, if the imperial army besieges the city, will I still be able to leave?" Yuan Shu asked, "You've really been a fool lately."

"Even if I only have a 20% chance of winning, I can sit here safely and argue with the little emperor who is not a son of man. But there's almost no chance of winning, what are you letting me stay here? Waiting to die?!"

When Yang Hong was scolded, he almost forgot what his previous suggestion was.

"Your Majesty's words are very reasonable, but if Your Majesty withdraws from Wancheng now, the army's heart will collapse!" Yang Hong said.

Yuan Shu glared fiercely, "I asked you to come, isn't that what I want to say? You can think of a way for me to leave in peace and security, but not to shake the morale of Wancheng's army."

Yang Hong: ......

It's a bit embarrassing.

"Your Majesty, why don't you ask the general what he means? I think the general will approve of your majesty's withdrawal from Wancheng first, and let him command the troops and horses here against the Han army." Yang Hong, who was thinking hard, had no choice but to throw the pot to Zhang Xun.

"No!" Yuan Shu rejected Yang Hong's proposal without hesitation, and said, "Zhang Xun's mind is not right recently, otherwise why do you think I would leave my great general in Wancheng? I sent someone to buy his favorite concubine, and I know some of Zhang Xun's heart, he recently had the idea of killing me and joining the imperial court, but he is still hesitating for the time being."

Yang Hong was shocked when he heard this, "In this way, Your Majesty really can't ask him personally. Since the generals have different intentions, the ministers can only ask Your Majesty to leave the city quickly, go openly, withdraw to Hanzhong, and supervise Wancheng!"

"Walk in the open? Aren't you worried about the morale of the military?" Yuan Shu was almost confused by Yang Hong's repeated words.

Yang Hong calmed down for a moment and explained, "Your Majesty walks openly, but it has less impact on the morale of the army. Didn't you tell your courtiers and soldiers that you were going to give up on them?"
