When the high-ranking cadre heard this, he smiled disdainfully, and then said, "Lord, I have to listen to his nonsense. Chang Chun, Pan Feng and Mu Shun have also seen it. They are just stronger and their fighting skills are very rough. When they were dealing with a sage Gu, they were killed by three people. What kind of person is Jugu? He can barely be considered a third-rate general, and three people can kill a third-rate general. How weak should these three people be? A person like this was actually praised by General Yan so much. This is the blessing they have cultivated in their lifetimes? Hehe, General Yan, you are not willing to fight and just say it directly. Why do you have to find such a bad excuse?"

"Well? Gong Ji, what Yuan Cai said is true?" At this time, even Yuan Shao looked at Yan Liang, but his eyes were not good.

When Yan Liang heard this, he hurriedly said, "It's not true. He fought with Chang Chun at the end of half a month ago. In that battle, we both had no choice but to lose, and even almost lost to him at the end of the game. How could such martial arts not be said to be unsatisfied? Perhaps he was indeed very weak before, but he had no combat experience. Now that his experience has been accumulated, his martial arts have naturally improved."

The high-ranking cavalry laughed dryly and said, "Hehe, in such a short time, he has been promoted from a rookie who is not a third-rate general to a first-class general like you. I don't believe it if you kill such a thing. I don't know if the lord doesn't believe it?"

Yuan Shao shook his head and said, "I don't believe it either, but maybe it's because of Chang's intentional hiding his strength. Okay, no one has to say about this matter anymore, just take it as the past. Anyway, Zhang He and Gao Lan have already belonged to Pei Qing, so it is impossible to look back. However, I am quite concerned about the situation in Hanoi. I don't know when Gong Ji will launch an attack?"

But Yan Liang heard him say, "Lord, I don't know if I should say anything?"

"Haha, Gong Ji, do you need to be so polite between you and me? Just say something." Yan Liang is a confidant general under Yuan Shao's command, so he naturally has to give the other party a face and show his closeness.

Yan Liang said, "Since that's the case, then I will say that Xun You has built a wild royal city as solid as a solid foundation, and there is Xun You who is the most intelligent in the world as the commander. In addition, warriors like Chang Chun, Pan Feng and Mu Shun are not easy to conquer? And now the tour is not offensive, so I think that we do not need to fight with Pei Qing, wouldn't it be better to defend each other's borders?"

"What? I heard it right? Is this what you Yan Liang thought?" Yuan Shao was shocked when he heard this. He looked at Yan Liang in surprise, feeling that Yan Liang had taken the wrong medicine today? He actually said such words. He used to be the most keen on fighting wars, but now he actually did this. Is it really timid? Or is it because of Gu Nian and Zhang He Gao Lan that he was unwilling to fight? Or deliberately made an upset for himself?

Yan Liang smiled bitterly. Yuan Shao guessed correctly. This was indeed because he was in a state of trouble because he felt sad from Yuan Shao's reaction just now. Although Zhang He was originally a general of Han Fu, he was loyal and had won many military achievements since surrendering. However, even so, Yuan Shao did not even have a trace of regret after wronging the other party. Such a reaction is indeed heartbreaking.

In addition, he can indeed see these days that Xun You did not intend to invade, so he said so.

In theory, Hanoi itself is under the jurisdiction of Pei Qing, and Yuan Shao insisted on inserting a slut in it. Not only did he insert a slut, but he also wanted to occupy the magpie's nest, and he took the initiative to lead the army to continue to attack. Yuan Shao was unreasonable at all, so Yan Liang naturally couldn't stand it.

However, Yuan Shao said, "It is impossible to retreat. Pei Qing's son was so arrogant. He first robbed my position as leader, and then he served as the General of the Cavalry, above me. This is fine. After all, the court didn't say anything about this matter, but he actually seized my territory. You must know that if our army had not dragged the main force of the Black Mountain Bandits, how could he easily enter Hanoi? Now that he had received a word of thanks from Hanoi, it would be fine, but he actually occupied the territory that should belong to me and refused to leave. Even if I plan to do so, I will not let him learn a lesson if I want such a arrogant person. Gongji, you don't need to say anything. Hurry back and rectify the troops and prepare to launch a general attack on Xun You. What conditions are needed, I will definitely satisfy you as much as possible. You just need to fight with peace of mind."

"No." Although Yan Liang did not want to fight, since Yuan Shao said that, he naturally could not refuse. He could only agree helplessly and then attack with all his might. After all, Yuan Shao had the kindness of knowing him, and although he was dissatisfied with some aspects, he also needed to contribute loyalty. In his opinion, the so-called loyalty means that one should be implemented if one understands, and that one does not understand must be implemented. Since the order has been issued, he naturally cannot refuse to obey his orders.

However, in his heart, Yan Liang knew that there was no great hope for this battle to fight against the five powerful generals under Xun You. He had no confidence in his heart. Even if he relied on more than one, it would be useless to directly attack the city.

But now strong attack is the only way to win, and Yan Liang can only do this.

"Ye Yi, Ziyou, two brothers, although our misunderstanding has been clarified, now we are each responsible for our own masters and we can only fight hard for our brothers. I hope you don't blame me. I can't kill this high kid yet, but when I have a chance in the future, I will definitely find a way to eradicate him to express my guilt."

Yan Liang sighed, then rushed back to Hanoi overnight, ordering the soldiers to prepare for siege in the morning of the next morning.

There were already detailed writers who told Xun You about Yan Liang's movements, and Xun You would also think that after Yan Liang returned to Jizhou this time, Yuan Shao would urge him to attack, so Xun You also prepared in advance and ordered the soldiers to be on guard. He also ordered Hao Zhao as his deputy general to assist him in defending the city. He believed that with his wisdom and Hao Zhao's good defense, he would definitely be able to defend the Yewang City.

"If Yan Liang is defeated this time, Yuan Shao will go to the battle in person next time, right? At that time, our troops will not be enough to defend themselves. I should inform the lord in advance and prepare early."

Xun You thought silently for a moment, then summoned all the generals under his command, made arrangements in advance, and asked the soldiers to prepare early and be sure to stick to it. At the same time, he attacked the invaders in exchange for long-term stability in the situation.

"Sir, who is the chief general of the enemy this time?" Zhang He couldn't help but ask after Xun You arranged the task.
