"Zixiao, that's fine. There's no need to tell them so clearly. In short, remember that with our current strength, we can't fight against the Liaodong Army. But wait a few years, no one can say for sure! A few years later, the soldiers under my command He military commander will definitely surpass Liaodong, and when we have the ability to fight Liaodong, we will try it on the battlefield to see if his Liaodong army is stronger, or our Yanzhou army is stronger!"

Everyone had been told by Cao Ren that they had lost the courage to fight against the giants of Liaodong, but now that Cao Cao had said this, they all cheered up.

Cao Hong was also very excited. Thinking about having so many soldiers under his command in the future, he was already a little eager to try, but in Cao Hong's heart, making money was the first priority, because Cao Hong was famous for his love of money. Good brother, don't even think about borrowing a copper coin from him!

Cao Cao's Yanzhou army continued to march towards Runan, and then marched for another day, and another soldier came to report that he was no longer the soldier who came that day. He got off his horse, knelt down on one knee, and said to Cao Cao :

"My lord, the spies ahead have reported that Yuan Shao from Jizhou has dispatched 20 troops, and they are also marching towards Runan."

After hearing this, Cao Cao asked:

"Oh...? Then Yuan Shao is still conspiring with Yuan Gonglu to plot against Liu Xuan in Liaodong, and he is sending troops to attack Yuan Gonglu? It seems that his purpose should be to pass on the jade seal of the country!"

The spies didn't dare to answer, but Xun Yu who was on the side heard Cao Cao's words and said:

"Then Yuan Shao seems to have seen the reason why the lord insisted on attacking Yuan Shu. He wanted to enter Runan and take away what he wanted before the lord went to Runan."

Cao Cao also nodded. Both of them saw Yuan Shao's intentions. Cao Cao asked the soldier who sent the message:

"Do you know who Yuan Shao sent to Runan this time?"

The kneeling soldier replied:

"My lord, the person who led the troops to Runan this time is Yuan Shao's general, Wen Chou!"

Cao Cao nodded, indicating that he already knew, and waved his hands to make the messengers retreat, so he said to Cao Ren who was beside him:

"Zixiao, pass on the order to let the soldiers speed up their march and reach Runan before the city of Runan is destroyed. Yuan Shao cannot be allowed to succeed!"

When Cao Ren received the order, he hurriedly rode his horse to inform, and shouted while running:

"My lord has an order! Speed ​​up the march!"

"My lord has an order! Speed ​​up the march!"

Looking at Yuan Shu again, Yuan Shu was imagining the beauty of being emperor when suddenly a soldier ran and shouted:

"Report! Report! My lord! There is important information!"

Yuan Shu heard such urgent shouts from soldiers in the room, something must have happened!He hurriedly stood up and walked out of the door. As soon as he opened the door, the soldier with good words came to Yuan Shu's door, so Yuan Shu asked:

"Why are you so panicked? Tell me quickly!"

The soldier was out of breath, panting heavily, and said:

"Back, back, back to my lord, I received the news from the spies that Yuan Shao from Jizhou and Cao Cao from Yanzhou each led 20 troops to my city of Runan!"

When Yuan Shu heard what the soldiers said, he was stunned on the spot. He hadn't declared himself emperor yet, and the news had only been released for three or four days, why did someone attack him, and that concubine Yuan Benchu ​​dared to attack me!

Yuan Shu was also depressed. Didn't he and Yuan Benchu ​​conspired to kill Liu Xuan a month ago, why did he suddenly kill Liu Xuan? This is the Chuanguo Yuxi, so he opened his mouth and said to the messenger soldier:

"Hurry up and summon all the civil and military officials to discuss matters in the main hall!"

After hearing this, the soldier stood up quickly and ran out again.

Yuan Shu put on his clothes, came to the main hall, sat on the top and waited. After a while, all the people had arrived, and Yuan Shu no longer had ink stains, and said:

"I just received the news from the spies that Yuan Benchu ​​of Jizhou and Cao Cao of Yanzhou each led 20 troops to attack Runan. Do you have any strategies to defend against the enemy?"

After Yuan Shu finished speaking, he also felt a little regretful. If he had known earlier, he would not have let Sun Ce go so easily.

Ji Ling came out at this time, and saw Ji Ling was tall and burly, with a firm face, clasped his fists and said:

"My lord, don't worry, let me lead an army of 30 to stop them, behead them one by one, and bring back their heads for the lord's enjoyment!"

When Yuan Shu heard that he was still his general, reliable at critical moments, he was willing to personally lead the troops to fight Yuan Benchu ​​and Cao Cao!

An old man stood up among the civil servants on the side and said:

"My lord, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are probably here for the Chuanguo Yuxi. You are the first to proclaim the emperor. This is to tell others that you have the Chuanguo Yuxi. Now the final result is that the two of them come. We stick to it. If you don’t come out, it’s okay, there’s a lot of food and grass stored in the city, enough for us, if other princes want to grab the Jade Seal of the Kingdom, they’ll have to wait to die!”

After Yuan Shu heard this, he felt very unwilling. Before he really sat on the throne, someone came to snatch his imperial jade seal, so Yuan Shu thought of a plan:

"Can we send someone to go to the grassland to send a letter to the foreign race, so that the foreign race will come to help me and attack them from the rear. If I become emperor in the future, I will give them land and city, what do you think?"

After hearing this, the old man hurried forward and said:

"Your Majesty, absolutely not. This is a dispute within our Han people. How can we use other people's hands? If those foreigners are allowed to come to our Han land, how many Han people will die by then!"

Everyone in the hall agreed with what the old man said, and they were all unwilling to let Yuan Shu associate with other races, and voiced their opposition one after another.

Yuan Shu felt helpless after hearing that, so many people were unwilling to let him ask a foreign race to help him, so what should he do? With an army of 40, when the time comes, it will be difficult for them to escape!

Leaving aside Yuan Shu's problem, at this moment in Liaodong City, in the Taishou's Mansion, Liu Xuanduan sat on top, and below sat Liu Bowen, Gao Chong, and Liu Xuan looked at the two of them and said:

"Just received the news that Cao Cao in Yanzhou and Yuan Shao in Jizhou have sent troops to Runan to attack Yuan Shu. Now is the time we have been waiting for."

Gao Chong was excited after hearing this, he knew that his lord was going to send himself to lead the army to take down Runan!

Liu Xuan looked at Gao Chong at the side and said:

"Gao Chong, I order you to set off early tomorrow morning and lead a hundred thousand cavalry to Runan. You must seize the right time. When they are fighting on three sides, you lead the cavalry into the city and get the Jade Seal of Chuanguo. If you can capture Yuan Shu alive It couldn't be better, if you can't capture him alive, then bring his head back to me!"
