Yuan Tan's face was a bit ugly. He didn't expect Yuan Xi to be so ruthless, and he didn't even think that he was so fast. He was about to carve up less than 10,000 of his [-]+ army in one go.

But now there seems to be no other way.

Gritting his teeth, Yuan Tan reluctantly said, "Okay, I'll send someone there right away."

Yuan Xi stopped him, "There's no rush for now, it's not too late to go after dinner."

Yuan Tan nodded and sat down again.

After moving the topic to another place, and having a drink for a while, Yuan Xi pretended to be casual and asked, "Brother, who is Yuan Shang now?"

"I locked him up." Yuan Tan glanced at Yuan Xi, "Although the third brother treats me unjustly, we are brothers after all, and I can't bear to kill him."

The corners of Yuan Xi's mouth twitched, then he smiled and said, "Let's go see him after dinner, I haven't seen him for a long time."

Yuan Tan gave him a strange look, nodded, but did not speak.

At the end of the meal, Yuan Tan took advantage of his alcohol and asked, "Second brother, do you think our Youzhou can withstand Cao Cao's hundreds of thousands of troops?"

"Hehe, as long as you and I are of the same mind, there is nothing we can't solve. I have some confidence. I have managed this Youzhou for so long, and Cao Cao can't break it if he wants to."

Yuan Tan felt relieved, and sighed: "Before, I had been competing with my third brother for the position of eldest brother, and now I think it's a bit silly."

Yuan Xi smiled and said, "Why do you think so?"

Yuan Tan raised his eyes to look at him, then quickly lowered his head, "Among the three of us, the second brother is the most talented and able to fight. If I hadn't fought for anything back then, I would have wholeheartedly ensured that the second brother would inherit his father's position. Maybe the result will be different.”

After a pause, Yuan Tan whispered, "Second Brother's Youzhou Corps really impresses Brother Wei."

Yuan Xi laughed loudly, raised his glass and said, "It's all in the past, let's not mention it, come and drink."

Yuan Tan felt bitter in his heart, and when he drank the wine, he felt even more bitter.

He knew the second brother, and he was no longer the previous second brother.

Thinking about how many days I have been a general, I have been reduced to this state, and I have the urge to cry.

As soon as this person felt wronged in his heart, he couldn't help drinking more.

Seeing him drinking one cup after another, Yuan Xi didn't stop him. It wasn't until Yuan Tan finished drinking that Yuan Xi let the guards in and sent him back to his residence.

Staring blankly at the wine in the glass, a woman in red came over from the inside, squatted beside him, and said softly, "Master, what are you thinking?"

Yuan Xi glanced at Gongsun Baoyue's beautiful face, and the restlessness in his heart calmed down a lot. Women can always calm down a man's anger.

Holding the beauty in his arms, Yuan Xi strode inside, "Go, let's go happily."

Gongsun Baoyue's bones suddenly softened, and she hugged Yuan Xi's waist tightly...

Cao Cao seemed to really have a plan to take Youzhou with all his might. For half a month, he attacked like a storm every day without stopping at all. After half a month, both sides suffered heavy casualties.

It’s not that Youzhou has advanced defense weapons, and the famous defender Hao Zhao, the loss is estimated to be even greater. If so, after half a month, the defenders of Youzhou also died more than 2 people, and even those who were injured and unable to fight It is countless.

Chapter 585 Cui Yan

Today, among Yuan Xi's 13 soldiers and horses, less than 8 are intact.

It was even worse for Cao Jun. As the attacking party, looking at the densely packed corpses under the city wall, he knew how tragic Cao Jun had suffered.

Yuan Xi estimated that Cao Jun's death in battle might not be less than [-].The injured are even more numerous.

The problem is that Cao Jun has such casualties, he still has two 10,000+ troops.

Fan Yang County felt a little precarious.

The situation in Dai County and Liaoxi County is relatively better.But it's not much better.

In order not to let all the vitality be consumed in this frenzied battle, Yuan Xi began to encourage the people to join the war, to have food and drink, and to settle down, Yuan Xi's mobilization.The people in Youzhou are very enthusiastic about signing up to join the army.

Yuan Xi was in the prefect's mansion, thinking hard about countermeasures, when he saw Guo Jia rushing in, "My lord."

"Feng Xiao?" Yuan Xi hurriedly got up, looked at Guo Jia who was a little tired recently, and asked with concern: "Feng Xiao, why is your complexion so bad?"

Guo Jia shook his head and said, "Now is not the time to care about this, my lord, there is something I must tell you."

Yuan Xi's face darkened, "Say it."

Guo Jia said solemnly: "If Cao Cao attacks the city again in this way, I'm afraid our Fanyang County will really lose its hold."

Yuan Xi's face was a bit ugly, "Feng Xiao, do you think Cao's army is short of food, which is why they attacked like this?"

Guo Jia said with a wry smile: "Everyone knows that he is short of food, the key is how long he can last, we don't know. And, hey..."

Guo Jia sighed heavily.

Yuan Xi asked anxiously: "And what?"

Guo Jia said in a low voice: "Most of the people who fought against Cao Cao this time were our Yuan Jun who threw themselves into the city. Cao Cao is trying to drive away wolves and tigers, and his intentions are sinister."

Yuan Xi turned around and said softly: "I knew this a long time ago, but there is no way to do it. If we don't kill them, we will be finished."

Guo Jia nodded, and continued: "I've thought about it, we can't stick to it like this, we should make some counterattacks. Otherwise, if we continue to fight like this, we still won't be able to exhaust Cao Jun."

Yuan Xi's heart was cold. Although Youzhou was rich, its soldiers and horses could never compare with Cao Jun.

Just such consumption is already too much for them.

"Military division, how do you think we should fight back?"

Yuan Xi's eyes were always on defense, but he never thought about going out of the city to fight, and Guo Jia and others also said before that defense is the main priority.

Now that he was going out of the city to fight again, he couldn't react.

Guo Jia took out a pair of maps from his pocket and pointed to them: "We can turn to Liu Yan of Yizhou, Liu Biao of Jingzhou, Ma Teng of Xiliang, and even Zhang Lu of Hanzhong for help. We only need to state our interests and ask them to send troops to threaten Cao Cao. Cao Cao will definitely retreat. Although Cao Cao has a large snobbery and strength at present, there are threats all around him, and he has to defend. Let's make good use of these. We must defeat Cao Cao once at this time."

Yuan Xi nodded. He also felt that some thoughts had to be changed. It was too difficult to defeat Cao Cao, far beyond his expectations.

"Then who can we send to persuade these people to send troops?" Yuan Xi really had no such experience in sending someone to be a lobbyist.

"Well," Guo Jia hesitated, and said, "Qinghe Cui Yan is not bad, he can be counted as one, and he can be sent to lobby Liu Biao; Xiliang Ma Teng just fought against each other last time, and the other party has suffered a lot, so it may be difficult. Only by sending people who can speak well can there be hope."

Yuan Xi interrupted Guo Jia who continued to speak, "Cui Yan? Where is he?"

Cui Yan is very famous, Yuan Xi did not expect to hear his reputation at this time.

Guo Jia said with a smile: "Cui Yan is currently in prison, locked up by the eldest son."
