Since he was sent to Nanyang by Luo Yang, Jia Xu would naturally not only work but also help Gan Ning to defend Nanyang. Looking at Jia Xu's expression, Gan Ning didn't know why, but always felt that
My back felt cold, and I suddenly had a very bad feeling in my heart, as if Nanyang City was about to see blood!
In the Yuan Jun camp outside the city, the commander of Yuan Jun, Yuan Shu, was furious at the moment! In the big tent, a low stool flew out with a swish, and then Yuan Shu roared: "Damn it! Damn it!
Why don’t you come out! Why don’t you come out!”
Facing Yuan Shu's anger, Yan Xiang, who was Yuan Shu's first adviser, could only step forward and persuade him: "My lord! Don't be anxious! I think there must be someone in Nanyang City who can help me and see through this plan! My lord!"
How about sending someone to recall General Lei Bo and General Zhang Xun who are hiding in the woods!"
"Hmph!" Yuan Shu glared at Yan Xiang fiercely, and with a final wave of his hand, he asked his soldiers to pass the order, but he glared at Yan Xiang and shouted: "Yan Xiang! Didn't you mean to use it?
Will the enemy be able to fall into this plan and come out of the city to fight? Why did your plan fail? Many soldiers were sacrificed in vain! It took a whole day!"
After Yuan Shu scolded him, Yan Xiang could only continue bitterly. Of course he would not believe that Yuan Shu would really care about the lives of those soldiers. I am afraid he was just unhappy and looking for a reason to scold Yan Xiang. Besides, this pass
The scolding of Yan Xiang was not unjust. It was true that he had not expected before that there were people in Nanyang City who could see through his plot! It seemed that the guard of Nanyang was really good!
After reprimanding Yan Xiang, Yuan Shu finally felt much better. He groaned and sat down on his seat. When Yan Xiang saw this, he stepped forward and clasped his fists at Yuan Shu and said, "My lord, here we go."
If the plan fails, it can be seen that there are experts in Nanyang City, so our army should plan for it slowly to avoid falling into the opponent's trap!"
"Xu Xu Tu Zhi?" Yuan Shu suddenly raised his head, staring at Yan Xiang with his eyes. The anger that had just subsided surged up again, and he shouted angrily: "You actually let me Xu Xu Tu Zhi? Do you know that our army
How much rations are left in the army? If you continue to plan carefully, the army will be completely defeated before they can capture Nanyang City!" Yuan Shu's last words were almost pointing at Yan Xiang's nose and scolding him, which shows how angry Yuan Shu was.
"Lord, calm down!" Yang Hong, who was originally watching the excitement, jumped out at this moment and quickly tried to persuade Yuan Shu. It was not because of the depth of his friendship with Yan Xiang, but because of his understanding of his lord, if Yuan Shu was allowed to do it again
If they continue to get angry like this, they will be in trouble sooner or later! Yang Hong glanced at Yan Xiang with a bitter face, and said hypocritically: "My lord! The lord of hell doesn't want this! My lord, don't be angry anymore, why do you have to be so angry about it?"
Here! Someone is coming! Prepare tea quickly!"
I have to say that Yang Hong's ability to observe people's emotions is quite good. At least in Yuan Shu's eyes, Yang Hong's weight is getting heavier and heavier. After Yang Hong's advice, Yuan Shu's anger also disappeared a lot.
, glared at Yan Xiang, and shouted directly: "Why are you still standing here? Get out of here! I don't want to see you again!"
Yan Xiang's face turned red and white. After all, he is also a scholar. He has never been so angry. But as a minister, even if you are angry, you must be loyal! I was about to continue saying something.
, Yang Hong on the side quickly stopped Yan Xiang and whispered: "Brother Yan! Now that the Lord is angry, he won't listen to anything you say! If you don't retreat first, I will persuade you! Wait for the Lord!
Now that the anger has subsided, let’s discuss it further!”
Yan Xiang glanced at Yang Hong. Although he felt a little disdainful of Yang Hong's character, he also knew that what Yang Hong said was true. In desperation, he could only raise his hands to Yang Hong and whispered: "In that case,
All this will be done to Brother Yang!" After saying that, Yan Xiang bowed silently to Yuan Shu again, then turned and left the tent.
Naturally, there were more than just them in the big tent. Several generals under Yuan Shu's tent, including Ji Ling, Chen Ji, and Liu Xun, were all in the big tent. Yang Hong also winked at them and motioned for them to go out first. Ji Ling
The others were eager to stay in the big tent because they might as well get out of the tent as they might as well get offended by Yuan Shu. They bowed to Yuan Shu one by one and walked out of the tent backwards.
Seeing that everyone had retreated, Yang Hong took the tea handed by a soldier and quickly brought it to Yuan Shu. He also didn't forget to help Yuan Shu cool it down, and then handed it to Yuan Shu's hand, saying with an apologetic smile.
: "Lord! Don't be angry. Come on, have a sip of tea first!"
"Hmph!" Yuan Shu took the tea, took a sip, and threw it casually on the table beside him. He stood up and walked back and forth in the tent. He cursed just now, but the situation has not changed at all. Now
It is not a good thing for the army to stay outside Nanyang City. Seeing that the army rations are decreasing day by day, if it continues, when the army rations are exhausted, Yuan Shu's army will be truly finished! It is not as good as before.
The Yuan family is gone. If even the army is gone, Yuan Shu really has nowhere to go! As for Yuan Shao who has established a foothold in Jizhou? Even if Yuan Shu dies, he will not join him!
"Lord!" Seeing Yuan Shu's anxious look, Yang Hong rolled his eyes and came up with a way, saying: "My lord is worried about the lack of food for this army! All my subordinates are worried.
There is a plan that can temporarily alleviate the army’s food crisis!”
"Oh? Yang Hong! What's your plan? Come quickly!" Hearing what Yang Hong said, Yuan Shu's eyes suddenly widened. He quickly walked up to Yang Hong and grabbed Yang Hong's arm.
Although Yuan Shu looked like a dandy, he was one of the generals who mounted his horse to kill the enemy and could be considered a warrior. Yang Hong was just a thin scholar. How could he withstand Yuan Shu's grasp? He almost screamed in pain.
Speak up.
But in the end, Yang Hong still resisted the pain coming from his arm, squeezed out a smile and said to Yuan Shu: "My lord is only worried about the lack of military rations! It is late autumn now, it is the time of grain harvest, Nanyang
It’s the Jingzhou Granary. Outside Nanyang City, there are grains grown by Nanyang civilians everywhere! Why doesn’t my lord send an army to collect these grains for the army’s use?”
Yang Hong's words immediately made Yuan Shu's eyes light up. He gave a high-five and shouted: "That's right! There are tons of food in the fertile fields outside the city! Hahahaha! God will not stop me!"
Heaven will not stop me! Yang Hong! This is a good idea! Immediately pass on my military order and ask Ji Ling and Chen Ji to each bring two thousand men and horses to collect grain!"
"Haha! Your lord is wise!" Yang Hong bowed to Yuan Shu with a smile, and then quickly pushed him down. This was Yang Hong's cleverness. Although Yang Hong came up with this strategy for Yuan Shu, Yang Hong was
Instead of rushing to claim credit, he should attribute the credit to Yuan Shu himself. In this way, he will only gain Yuan Shu's favor. Maybe next time he should replace Yan Xiang and become Yuan Shu's number one adviser! Think of this wonderful idea
Here, Yang Hong walked with a smile on his lips.
Yang Hong quickly passed on Yuan Shu's military order. Ji Ling and Chen Ji naturally didn't say anything more. Since it was Yuan Shu's military order, they just went to carry it out. However, before Yang Hong could run back to find it,
Yuan Shu continued to flatter him, but Yang Hong was stopped in the military camp by Yan Xiang with a livid face. Seeing Yan Xiang's livid face, Yang Hong thought that Yan Xiang was uncomfortable because he had been scolded in front of Yuan Shu before.
Well, the all-rounded Yang Hong quickly comforted with a smile: "Brother Yan! My lord is still angry now, so don't think about what happened just now! Don't worry, my little brother is here to take care of everything so that my lord can calm down as soon as possible!"
"Hmph!" But to Yang Hong's expectation, Yan Xiang's expression did not improve after listening to Yang Hong's words, but instead became more gloomy. He shouted directly: "Yang Hong! Let me ask you! Just now Ji Ling and Chen
Ji led his troops out to plunder the grain that the people of Nanyang had just harvested, claiming that it was a military order from the lord! Do you know about this?"
"Ah?" Hearing Yan Xiang's question, Yang Hong was a little confused and felt uncomfortable. Although Yan Xiang's position was one level higher than his own, it was obvious that Yan Xiang had fallen out of favor, and he, Yang Hong, had fallen out of favor.
Just when he was red, how could it be Yan Xiang's turn to show off like this in front of him? So Yang Hong's face gradually darkened, and he said calmly: "Of course I know about this!"
Hearing Yang Hong say that he knew, Yan Xiang's face became even more ugly, and he shouted directly: "You! Since you know, why don't you dissuade the lord?"
Persuasion? I came up with this idea, how could I persuade him? Yang Hong snorted in his heart, becoming more and more dissatisfied with Yan Xiang, and said: "The master is the king, and we are the ministers. Whatever the master wants to do, we will do it."
How can you object forcefully? Brother Yan! You think too highly of me, Yang Hong!"
Yan Xiang, who was already a little anxious and crazy, could not pay attention to Yang Hong's face at this moment. He shook his head and shouted: "Confused! Confused! We are ministers and should advise the lord to do the right thing! The lord has done such a ridiculous thing.
Decision! Since you are with the lord, you should try your best to dissuade the lord from giving up this plan! This is your duty as a minister!"
The more Yang Hong listened, the more uncomfortable he became. This idea was the one that Yang Hong came up with, so how did it turn into a ridiculous decision? Immediately, Yang Hong flicked his sleeves and shouted in a cold voice: "Brother Yan, I'll stop talking about this."
I don’t like hearing it anymore! Why is my lord’s decision so ridiculous? I advise Brother Yan to be careful what he says, otherwise, if this word reaches my lord’s ears, I’m afraid Brother Yan will suffer again!”
"Even if it means suffering, I still have to explain it to the lord!" Yan Xiang straightened his back and shouted. At this time, Yan Xiang finally noticed Yang Hong's expression, and after thinking about it, he pointed at Yang with wide eyes.
Hong asked: "Did you propose this idea to the lord?"
