Just as Yuan Xi was wandering outside the sky, a huge shout of killing suddenly came from their west, which woke Yuan Xi from his imagination.

He looked up in confusion and looked forward, and for a moment he couldn't tell the difference between reality and illusion.

However, this feeling only happened for a moment, and soon he cheered up again.

"Lu Kuang, take people to check quickly and see if Huang Zhong is attacking Xuchang City? If Huang Zhong is really attacking the city, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

"promise!"

Yuan Tan, who reacted, immediately ordered his general Lu Kuang to investigate. After Lu Kuang agreed, he immediately took his several subordinates to run towards Xuchang quickly.

Looking at the backs of Lu Kuang and others who disappeared quickly, Yuan Shang couldn't help but feel a little nervous. This time he could be said to be placing all his wealth on this battle.

He had wanted to send someone to do some small moves in Jizhou before.

But not long ago, the senior officials who he sent to Jizhou suddenly lost all contact with him. Yuan Shang knew that something must have happened to the senior officials!

You should know that the high-ranking officials are the generals he trusts the most, not only because of his kinship relationship with the high-ranking officials, but also the top-notch ability of the high-ranking officials.

But even such a general died so quietly that there was no wind at all, which made Yuan Shang's fear of Jizhou deepen again.

If this time was not for the sake of being able to recover the territory of his second brother Yuan Xi in one battle, even if Cao Cao from Qingzhou mediated, he would not easily start a war with Jizhou again.

However, since he has already embarked on this path, Yuan Shang believes that he must get enough benefits, otherwise Jizhou's revenge will not be so easy to suffer!

Although Cao Cao said that when mediating the conflict between him and his uncle Yuan Shu, he would soon organize a coalition again to launch the next round of offensive against Jizhou.

But who can confirm that what Cao Cao said is true? If Liu Yuan's revenge in Jizhou came early before he organized a coalition, Yuan Shangke was unable to stop it.

Of course, with the territory of the second brother Yuan Xi in hand, everything will become different.

My second brother had two strong cities in his hands before, and these two cities were tightly guarding the hinterland of Yuzhou.

As long as you can send heavy troops to guard it, it will definitely not be as easy as this time if Liu Yuan's troops in Jizhou want to go deep into Yuzhou again!

I don’t know how my second brother managed it, but Huang Zhong just quietly took down the two strong cities. It’s really better to succeed than to lose!

Thinking of this, Yuan Shang couldn't help but turn his head and glanced at Ji Ling beside him again.

Ji Ling's lord Yuan Shu is a typical greedy person. In the future, he must not only guard against Liu Yuan, but also against Yuan Shu's attack.

When Yuan Shang thought about the bad situation he might face in the future, he couldn't help but feel a headache.

However, he will definitely not let down his father's hope and let the Yuan family in Runan be carried forward again!

On the other hand, Ji Ling, beside Yuan Shang, also raised his head, which had been hanging down while shouting for killing. At this time, his eyes kept flashing with excitement.

He knew this time was a real good opportunity. Since his lord was defeated by Liu Yuan last time, he has become a little depressed.

Sometimes, some unintelligible and ridiculous decisions are even made.

Just like not long ago, if it weren't for the long-term persuasion between me and Master Yan, the lord would have the intention to become emperor!

The other colleagues were a little confused. Why did the lord become like this?

But as the lord's confidant, Ji Ling knew very well that all this had a great relationship with Jizhou.

If it weren't for the fact that Liu Yuan had lost too badly before, and the subsequent series of actions Liu Yuan had made in Yangzhou, Yangzhou's strength greatly damaged, and the lord would not have felt so much pressure.

The reason why the lord was prepared this time was to attack his nephew was to expand the strategic depth of Yangzhou.

Although this cannot compete with Jizhou, at least they can have more chances of breathing.

However, just when the lord was about to order an attack, Cao Cao from Qingzhou suddenly sent someone to send a letter. After reading Cao Cao's letter, the lord pondered for a long time.

The lord then changed his previous decision and ordered him to lead about 70% of the entire Yangzhou to join Yuan Shang to attack Huang Zhong.

Ji Ling agreed with the lord's decision from the bottom of his heart. At this time, their biggest enemy was no one else, but Jizhou, whose strength was already the best in the world.

If Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi can severely damage or wipe out Huang Zhong's troops with the cooperation of Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi, it will definitely be a severe blow to Liu Yuan's arrogance.

And losing Huang Zhong, a peerless general, is like breaking his arm for Liu Yuan, which can fundamentally alleviate the crisis in Yangzhou.

However, Ji Ling was not without any worries. After all, this time the lord could be said to have done his best, and there were only more than 30,000 remaining people in Yangzhou.

If other princes have the wrong ideas of Yangzhou at this time, whether the lord can withstand it before he leads his army back to the rescue is a big question!

However, the chance of such a thing happening is very small. After all, the whole world is now staring at Liu Yuan in Jizhou, and the only princes bordering Yangzhou are Cao Cao and Liu Biao.

Of course, Cao Gong didn't need to say anything more. He was the least willing to see the princes fighting, so he shouldn't choose to invade Yangzhou at this time.

It is possible for Liu Biao from Jingzhou, but now he is busy preventing the invasion of Sun Jian from Jiangdong. As long as nothing unexpected happens, he is not able to attack Yangzhou.

Thinking of this, a look of determination flashed in Ji Ling's eyes again. He made up his mind that he must severely damage Huang Zhong's troops this time, and it would be best to wipe out this elite Jizhou team!

Just as Yuan Shang and Ji Ling were thinking about each other, Lu Kuang had already brought his people back to the two of them. As soon as he stopped the war, Lu Kuang said:

"Report to the lord, there is indeed a battle in Xuchang City not far ahead! The two sides of the battle were Huang Hansheng's men and the subordinates of the second prince Yuan Xi. In his opinion, the lord could no longer hold back. Whether to go to support or not, please decide!"

"The second brother was able to withstand Huang Zhong's attack for so long, which was much beyond my expectations! I came to ask you, did Huang Zhong's husband do his best? How many troops did his rear army leave behind to guard?"

"Your Majesty, the general of the United States just looked carefully and found that Huang Zhong's army would not exceed 10,000 people! As long as our army takes action, we will definitely be able to hit the ground with one blow!"

"Okay! Lu Kuang, General Lu Xiang obeys the order. I ordered you to bring your own troops and attack Huang Zhong's headquarters from the left and right wings!"

"promise!"

"Ma Yan, Zhang Yi, two generals, you will follow me to lead the army and go directly to Huang Zhong's rear army! This time I will succeed in one battle!"
Chapter completed!
