Yuan Shu secretly thought that it was a good risk and nodded, "Yang Zheng, you are right, you really shouldn't go to the rescue."
Yan Xiang, who was standing aside, was startled and said hurriedly, "My lord, you must not do this!"
Yuan Shu turned to look at Yan Xiang, frowned and asked, "Master Yan, didn't you hear what Yang Zhanzhang said just now?"
Yan Xiang waved his hand hurriedly, "Lord, if we don't send troops to rescue, I'm afraid General Zhang's troops will be in danger."
Yang Hong waved his hand, "Master Yan, you also know that General Zhang has 50,000 soldiers and horses, which has exceeded the number of soldiers and horses of Sun Ce, the little overlord of Jiangdong. Even if he doesn't send people to rescue him, Sun Ce, the little overlord of Jiangdong, may not be able to break through the city.
So easy.
Otherwise, Sun Ce, the little overlord of Jiangdong, would not have sent people to intercept the rescue troops and had captured the city long ago. Why is it still so troublesome?"
When Yuan Shu heard this, his eyes lit up and he nodded.
Yang Hong is absolutely right. If Sun Ce's troops and horses, the little overlord of Jiangdong, can capture the city, there will be no need for him to ambush the supporting troops. Wouldn't it be safer to capture the city directly?
Thinking of this, Yuan Shu became more and more convinced that Yang Hong was right and that he really shouldn't send troops to rescue.
Yan Xiang was so angry that he stamped his feet, "Yang Zhi, if General Zhang can hold the city, why would he send someone to send a letter for help?"
Yang Hong waved his hand, "Master Yan, that's because General Zhang is cautious and worried that he won't be able to defend the city. But in fact, it's easy to defend the city."
Yan Xiang turned to Yuan Shu, cupped his hands, and sighed, "My lord, General Zhang has sent people to ask for help. If we don't send troops to rescue, I'm afraid it will chill the hearts of the soldiers."
At this point, Yan Xiang's tone paused, and then, without waiting for others to answer his words, he continued.
"My lord, once General Zhang knows that no one comes to rescue him, he will feel abandoned. At that time, if Sun Ce, the little overlord of Jiangdong, takes advantage of this, the consequences will be disastrous!"
Hearing this, Yuan Shu's mind perked up and his brows furrowed.
Yan Xiang is right. If he doesn't send troops to rescue him, wouldn't it be terrible if Zhang Xun really has some thoughts and leads his troops to surrender?
Yang Hong said hurriedly, "Master Yan, are you sure that General Zhang will betray the lord?"
Yan Xiang shook his head, "I don't dare, but I have to guard against it!"
Yang Hong sneered and asked slowly, "Master Yan, let me ask you, how is General Zhang?"
Yan Xiang thought for a while, frowned and said, "General Zhang is brave in fighting and has a good strategy. He is a talented general."
Yang Hong shook his head, "Master Yan, General Zhang is a talented general. We all know it. I would like to ask you, what is General Zhang's character?"
"This?"
Yan Xiang was stunned, then waved his hand, "Yang Zhengzhi, this matter has nothing to do with what you said!"
Yang Hong shook his head, "Master Yan, you are wrong. You can see people doing big things from ordinary little things.
If a person has bad character, he will definitely do something treacherous, but if he is a person of noble character, he will probably not do something treacherous even if he is killed in battle."
At this point, Yang Hong's tone paused, and then, without waiting for anyone to answer his words, he continued.
"My lord promoted General Zhang to the rank of general because he took a fancy to his character. Could it be that, Master Yan, you think that my lord has poor vision and mistakenly looked at General Zhang?"
When Yan Xiang heard this, he immediately knew that he must not take the blame, otherwise he would offend not only Zhang Xun, but also Yuan Shu.
"My lord is naturally good at understanding people, so how dare I make such random remarks?"
Yang Hong nodded with satisfaction, "Master Yan, since you also know that the lord knows people, you will not misjudge General Zhang, so why are you so worried?"
Yan Xiang shook his head and said slowly, "Yang is engaged in various forms, so how can he generalize? General Zhang is of great character, but who knows what the outcome will be at the critical moment?"
Hearing this, Yang Hong suddenly sneered, "Master Yan, speaking of which, you still don't believe General Zhang. You think he will definitely betray the lord, right?"
"You?"
Yan Xiang didn't expect that Yang Hong would slap him with another hat. His face turned red with anger and he said loudly.
"Yang Zheng, when did I say that General Zhang would definitely betray the lord?"
Yang Hong looked at Yan Xiang with burning eyes and asked slowly, "Speaking of which, Master Yan, do you think General Zhang will not betray the lord?"
Yan Xiang nodded, "Of course I think so, is there anything wrong?"
After hearing this, Yang Hong hurriedly turned to Yuan Shu, cupped his hands, and said with a smile, "My lord, Master Yan is an upright man, which is obvious to all. Even he now says that General Zhang will not betray the lord. Now we can completely trust General Zhang."
, No matter what the circumstances, he will not choose to betray the lord."
"You?"
Yan Xiangqi's hair stood on end. He pointed at Yang Hong and said loudly, "Yang Zheng, when did I say this?"
Yang Hong sneered, "Master Yan, do you think General Zhang will definitely betray the lord?"
Yan Xiang shook his head, "Of course not."
Yang Hong spread his hands and said, "Since Master Yan also said no, did I say something wrong just now?"
Yan Xiang was stunned. For a moment, he was stunned on the spot and speechless.
Whatever Yang Hong said, no matter how he answered, there was something wrong with it.
If I said that Zhang Xun would not betray, if he really betrayed, wouldn't he be implicated, because he said that he would not betray, but he betrayed, and he said that he would not betray, and he would definitely do it.
Cause unnecessary trouble.
But if it is said that Zhang Xun will betray, the situation will be even worse. If the news is spread to the front by someone with intentions, and then Zhang Xun finds out, Yan Xiang can be sure that Zhang Xun will be dissatisfied.
The same is true for anyone. If he is fighting the enemy at the front, the people behind him will say that he has poor conduct and is likely to surrender. I am afraid that if he puts it on anyone, it will also cause extreme dissatisfaction.
The most important thing is that Zhang Xun is a general with 50,000 troops. Once he becomes dissatisfied, he might immediately surrender. Can he be able to shoulder this responsibility by then?
This is a dilemma. No matter how he answers it, he will be the one who suffers in the end.
Yang Hong is indeed an eloquent person. Although Yan Xiang has some strategies, he is really no match for Yang Hong in terms of words.
Finally, Yan Xiang looked at Yuan Shu with hopeful eyes, hoping that he would say something to save him.
But it is a pity that although Yuan Shu is also looking at Yan Xiang, there is no intention to rescue him in his eyes. Instead, there is a hint of anger burning in it.
