A ruthless look flashed in Yuan Shao's eyes and he spoke directly to Yang Hong.
"I understand, but this will not help. Sooner or later, Yuan Shu's troops will move northward, and we will still be unable to resist."
Although Yuan Shao's words can temporarily stop the loss, paper cannot cover the fire. Sooner or later, here will know, and the army will inevitably collapse by then.
"Let's just wait and make arrangements one day at a time."
Yuan Shao looked at Yang Hong in front of him with some dejection, and just waved to him.
"promise."
Yang Hong could only nod, and then left Yuan Shao's house. At the same time, he arranged for people to burn the place where the scouts were detained, and the two soldiers guarding outside were also killed in the sea of fire.
"My lord, it's almost time. Gongtai should have already entered Nanyang. Do you think the news has reached Qi County now?"
Jia Xu looked at Yuan Shu in front of him, and a light suddenly flashed in his eyes.
"What do you want?"
Hearing Jia Xu speak, Yuan Shu also showed a playful smile.
"Now the news about Nanyang must have spread throughout the country, so Yuan Shao must have received the news, but in order to stabilize the morale of the army, he will never let the news spread. Lord, do we want to help Yuan Shao?"
Jia Xu's smile became even more obvious. Since you, Yuan Shao, don't want to spread the news in order to stabilize the morale of the army, then we will help you and let the news of Suixian being breached spread.
"This plan is very good, then arrange for someone to implement it."
Yuan Shu looked at Jia Xu. Jia Xu wanted to disrupt Yuan Shao's military morale. He believed that his soldiers would be unable to bear the news that their hometown was destroyed. Qixian County might surrender without a fight.
"promise."
Jia Xu nodded, and then arranged for someone to write thousands of notes stating that Sui County had been destroyed and Nanyang was in danger, tied to the arrows, and then led three thousand archers to the gate of Qi County.
"Fire the arrow."
Without any warning, the archer opened his bow and shot the arrow tied with a note towards the head of Qixian City.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack, counterattack."
Sun Jian, who was on the city wall, saw Yuan Shu's army shooting arrows at the city and ordered a counterattack. However, Jia Xu and his archers ran away immediately after shooting the arrows, giving them no chance to fight back.
"what's the situation?"
Looking at the retreating enemies, Sun Jian couldn't help but frown.
"General, look."
A soldier picked up the arrow that was shot on the city wall, took the note on it and handed it directly to Sun Jian.
"what?"
Sun Jian opened the note and glanced at it, his brows immediately knitted together.
"Everyone must read the contents on the note and collect all the notes."
The contents of the note caused a panic in Sun Jian's heart. Suixian was defeated, and Chen Gong led his troops north to Nanyang. If this news was true, Qixian might be doomed.
Although Sun Jian ordered the note to be collected, some things could be covered up without covering up. Sun Jian did not dare to stay and went directly to the city to find Yuan Shao to confirm the situation.
"My lord, General Sun Jian would like to see you."
Hearing the words of the personal guard, Yuan Shao opened his slightly closed eyes.
"Let him come in."
"promise."
Soon Sun Jian came to Yuan Shao.
"Wentai, what's wrong? I think your face looks wrong."
Looking at the livid Sun Jian, Yuan Shao couldn't help but frown.
"Sir, tell me, is there any news from Nanyang?"
Sun Jian looked at Yuan Shao with a stern look in his eyes.
"how do I say this?"
Hearing Sun Jian's words, Yuan Shao's face couldn't help but droop. A very bad thought arose in his mind. Did Sun Jian know something?
Could it be said that Yang Hong leaked the secret?
"Yuan Shu's people just shot some arrows into the city. There was a note tied to the arrows. The note said that Suixian was defeated and Chen Gong had entered Nanyang. I want to know whether this is true or not?"
Yuan Shao didn't want to say it, but Sun Jian couldn't bear it and asked directly about the authenticity of the contents of the note.
"How is this possible? How could Suixian be defeated by Chen Gong? It's just Yuan Shu's psychological warfare."
As soon as Sun Jian spoke, Yuan Shao's heart sank to the bottom. Yuan Shu was indeed insidious. He actually guessed that he did not dare to reveal the news to his troops, so he used this method to disturb his military morale. This was also the situation he was most afraid of.
, if the morale of the troops in the city is unstable, a camp roar is likely to occur.
"Sir, please don't lie to me. My family is in Wan County. If you don't tell me the truth and it causes a crisis for my family, I will definitely turn my back on you."
Sun Jian looked at Yuan Shao and spoke to him very carefully, "If you dare to lie to me, then you will definitely fall out with me."
"How could it be, how could I deceive you? We are grasshoppers tied on a rope. My family is also in Wan County. I will never make a joke about this."
Faced with Sun Jian's threat, Yuan Shao smiled slightly and started to talk to Sun Jian.
"Well, hopefully we won't get to that point."
Since Yuan Shao denied it, Sun Jian had nothing to say and turned around and left.
"Call Yang Hong over immediately."
After Sun Jian left, Yuan Shao looked cold and immediately called Yang Hong over to answer.
"Lord, why did you call me here?"
Yang Hong was recruited by Yuan Shao for some unknown reasons.
"Yang Hong, Sun Jian came to see me just now."
Yuan Shao looked at Yang Hong, and a flash of light flashed across his face.
"Why did Sun Jian come to see my master?"
Yang Hong couldn't help but was stunned when he heard Yuan Shao's words. Why did Sun Jian come to Yuan Shao now?
"Just now Yuan Shu's men shot arrows onto the city wall. The arrows were tied with a note that Suixian was destroyed and Chen Gong went north to Nanyang. It was after Sun Jian saw this that he came to me to confirm the news."
Yuan Shao stretched his face and looked at Yang Hong in front of him.
"How did my lord reply to Sun Jian?"
Hearing Yuan Shao's words, Yang Hong's heart sank to the bottom. Yuan Shu was so shameless, and he was playing dirty tricks.
"How else can I reply to him? I can only lie to him that he is fine with the county and put it off."
Yuan Shao could only repeat the conversation with Sun Jian to Yang Hong.
"My lord, Sun Jian is not easy to fool. Since he is here, he has doubts in his heart. If you say this, he may become even more suspicious."
Yang Hong couldn't help but shook his head after hearing Yuan Shao's words. Sun Jian was not a fool. He would believe whatever you said?
If so, he wouldn't be alive today.
"Then what should we do?
Could it be that you want to tell him that Suixian County has been destroyed and Wanxian County is in danger?
Then he won’t fall out right away.”
Looking at Yang Hong who shook his head, Sun Jian couldn't help frowning again.
"Lord, I'm afraid we won't be able to hide this matter anymore. We need to make preparations early."
Yang Hong still shook his head. It's okay if you don't know something. Once you know it, you will be out of control. If you want to block it, you may not be able to block it.
"what to do?
Do you mean you want to?"
Yuan Shao made a motion of cutting his throat.
"Lord, let's take a look first and then talk. Sun Jian is the main force in our defense of the city. It is unrealistic to rush to capture him, but we have to guard against him."
Yang Hong looked at Yuan Shao and was immediately dumbfounded. He had nothing to say about killing the general in front of the battle.
"Well, let's just observe and make arrangements."
After listening to Yang Hong's words, Yuan Shao could only smile.
"I'll make arrangements right away."
Yang Hong hugged Yuan Shao and left to arrange some things.
Although Sun Jian ordered the note to be confiscated, the news swept through the entire Qi County like a storm, and the soldiers began to spread it wildly.
Some things need to be fermented, and Yuan Shao began to reduce food rations in advance to cope with the crisis of food shortage, which directly became the trigger. Now more and more soldiers began to believe that Nanyang was in danger, and a terrifying hurricane gradually took shape in the city.
"What the hell, you can see the bottom of this soup, where's the rice?"
"That's right, I fight with my head on my head, so why don't you give me this?"
"That's right, hell, is the news in Nanyang true? Yuan Shu's army has already entered Nanyang, and there is no food and grass here."
