Liu Xun looks over thirties, has a national face and a dark green brocade robe.

His beard was trimmed cleanly and looked like a neat person.

Liu Xun frowned, holding a battle report in his hand and said to everyone:

"The latest news came from the scouts ahead that Liu Yao, the governor of Yangzhou, had been defeated by Yuan Shu, and even he himself was captured alive by Yuan Shu."

The generals under Liu Xun were shocked when they heard this:

"What?!"

"Why is it so fast? Liu Yao has 30,000 elite soldiers in his hands!"

"If Liu Yao is defeated, it's our turn. What should I do?"

Wei Kai was also very troubled by the situation in front of him. Before he left, Liu Yao clearly agreed that he could last for more than ten days.

As a result, he was destroyed by Yuan Shu in less than three days. How can he play this?

"Ahem!"

Wei Kai had no choice but to cough lightly and explained:

"Yuan Shu is cunning, so he must have plotted against Brother Zhengli.

However, General Liu can rest assured that Grand Sima promised to send troops to help within one month.

As long as the general can hold on for a month, he will definitely win a great victory with our Lord!”

While Wei Kai was talking loudly, Liu Ye asked him with a smile:

"Mr. Wei, will Grand Sima really send reinforcements to help?"

Wei Kai said confidently:

"Of course, troops will be sent within one month!"

Liu Ye nodded and continued to ask:

"Since that's the case, why did the news I found was that the Grand Sima had already sent troops to Hanzhong and fought with Zhang Lu?"

A cold sweat broke out on Wei Kai's forehead, thinking to himself why Liu Ye is so sophisticated, and what Liu Bei is doing if he has nothing to do?

Liu Yao is still easy to control, and Wei Kai suddenly misses the stupid Liu Yao a little.

He could only bite the bullet and say to Liu Ye:

"This... we must first settle the home when fighting foreign countries.

Zhang Lu, Hanzhong, did not listen to the imperial court and often wanted to invade Chang'an.

The Grand Marshal would not be able to move south with peace of mind if he didn't wipe him out..."

"In that month, reinforcements may arrive?"

Wei Kai knew that he could not fool Liu Ye at will, so he could only tell the truth.

"About... at least two or three months later, when will you come to help, it depends on when Zhang Lu can be wiped out."

Liu Ye smiled and said:

"That's right. Mr. Wei would have told the truth."

After hearing what the two said, Liu Xun couldn't help but say coldly:

"I was entrusted by the lord to fight against Yuan Shu, so I will do my best.

Why did Brother Bo Ru lie to me on reinforcements?"

Wei Kai could only explain palely:

"I want to give everyone more confidence..."

Liu Xun snorted lightly, no longer cling to this matter, and continued:

"If Yuan Shu defeated Liu Yao, he would invade Lujiang soon.

Do you have any strategies to defeat the enemy?"

In order to make up for the bad impression left on Liu Xun before, Wei Kai quickly spoke:

"I have already recruited Wang Lang, a former Yangzhou lord, to lead his army to help the general.

With Wang Lang's support, we should be more confident in resisting Yuan Shu."

Liu Xun asked Wei Kai:

"How many troops are Wang Lang under his command? When will he arrive in Wancheng?"

Wei Kai replied:

"Wang Lang has 20,000 elite soldiers, and he will arrive in Wancheng tomorrow!"

Liu Xun's face looked a little better. Compared with the illusory Grand Sima Reinforcement Army, Wang Lang's 20,000 elite troops could really relieve his pressure.

At this time, Lujiang had 30,000 elite soldiers, and Wang Lang's 20,000 troops, his strength was almost doubled.

Liu Ye also confidently said to Liu Xun:

"Ye recently arranged some gadgets in the city, which I believe can stop Yuan Shu for some time."

Liu Xun was overjoyed when he heard this:

"With Mr. Ziyang planning for me, I will naturally be worry-free."

...

Qu'acheng, the governor's mansion.

Yuan Shu has sent someone to send Liu Yao's family to Shouchun, and now only Yuan Shu's confidants are left in the mansion.

He sat in the yard with Zhuge Liang, Zhou Yu and others to taste tea.

Sun Shangxiang stood obediently behind Yuan Shu to serve, changing her previous unruly image, like a well-behaved little girl.

I have to say that in front of Yuan Shu’s friends and ministers, the young lady still gave Yuan Shu a lot of face.

Looking at the exquisite scenery in the courtyard, Yuan Shu couldn't help but sigh:

"Why do you think that Liu Yao built the mansion so luxuriously? In the end, there is no chance to enjoy it?"

Zhou Yu replied with a smile:

"How could Liu Yao know that he would be arrested?

He thought he could hold the position of Yangzhou Governor with the support of Liu Bei."

Zhuge Liang also shook his head and said:

"This person is stupid and incompetent, and does not know the number of days. If he is destined to be defeated."

At this moment, Li Cunxiao walked into the yard from outside.

In the past two days, he and Dian Wei have taken turns on duty to protect the safety of the governor's mansion.

Li Cunxiao came to Yuan Shu and bowed:

"Lord, there are two people outside asking for a visit."

Before Yuan Shu could answer, Zhou Yu asked Li Cunxiao in confusion:

"It's just two people. Why did General Li report to his lord in person?"

Li Cunxiao explained:

"These two people should have come to join the lord.

One of the boys was not old, but his martial arts skills were extraordinary and he was a man of great ability.”

Yuan Shu's eyes lit up when he heard this. A top-notch strong man like Li Cunxiao praised this young man, so this person must have something extraordinary.

"Call them both in."

At the gate of the governor's mansion, Zheng Dayong was standing there waiting with his son Liu Zan.

Liu Zan said to Zheng Dayong with some timidity:

"Brother Dayong, let's go back...

What if God Weihou feels that we have disturbed him, what should we do to cure our sins?"

Zheng Dayong had a straight eyebrows and said to Liu Zan:

"What are you afraid of? That general just now praised you as a talent.

Although the Lord of Shenwei was fierce to the enemy, he had never heard of him harming the people.

This is a good opportunity for you to become a general, you have to seize it!"

Liu Zan hesitated:

"But I'm still a little nervous..."

"What are you nervous about? Do you still want to eat meat?"
