Just as Gongsun Zan and several lieutenants, Shu Sheng, were discussing how Youzhou should develop next.

A soldier hurriedly walked in and looked at Gongsun Zan with his hands raised in salute.

Gongsun Zan and others had a trace of doubt on their faces when they heard what the soldiers said.

Nanyang is Yuan Shao's city. What information can Yuan Shu have?

"Whatever happened in Nanyang, just tell me!"

Gongsun Zan looked at the soldiers and picked up the tea cup to drink the newly brewed tea.

"Report to my lord!"

"Cao Cao led an army to attack Nanyang, and it took only a few days to capture Nanyang."

"Except for those who died in battle, all of Yuan Shu's troops surrendered, and Yuan Shu committed suicide with his sword.~"

"Snapped!"

Just as the soldier finished speaking, the tea cup in Gongsun Zan's hand fell to the ground and broke into pieces.

The whole hall became quiet instantly. Everyone except the soldiers, including Gongsun Zan, were stunned.

A long time passed. Only then did the congregation react and swallowed.

"Nanyang was captured by Cao Cao, and Yuan Shu committed suicide with his sword?"

After a while, Gongsun Zan opened his mouth, looked at the soldiers and repeated what the soldiers had just said.

Gongsun Zan's voice was a little hoarse, and there was a look of shock on his face.

The scholar also looked pale at this time, looking at the soldiers, and the other lieutenants. They looked at each other with shock in their eyes.

Yuan Shu was a prince and the direct son of the Yuan family.

Nanyang City was Yuan Shu's city and was now occupied by Cao Cao. Yuan Shu also committed suicide with a sword. Some of them did not believe this information.

"Nanyang City has been captured by Cao Cao, and Cao Cao has led an army into Nanyang City."

"Yuan Shu committed suicide with his sword, and his general Ji Ling also died in Nanyang City."

The soldiers looked at Gongsun Zan and repeated the information they knew.

Hearing the soldiers' words, everyone took a breath. They did not expect that Cao Cao actually captured Nanyang. They also did not expect that Yuan Shu would kill himself with his sword. That was the side that conquered Dong Zhuo. The princes are now dead.

Gongsun Zan has a complicated feeling in his heart. Although he hates Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu,

"The city wall of Nanyang is strong. Even if Cao Cao is stronger than Yuan Shu, he will not capture Nanyang in just a few days. What happened to Nanyang City?"

The scholar looked at the soldiers and expressed his doubts.

He knew that Cao Cao was very powerful now, but the siege battle was not that easy to win.

After all, Yuan Shu was not an ordinary prince. Except for Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, other princes could not Compared with Yuan Shu's strength.

Even when his lord Sun Zan was at his strongest, he was only about the same as Yuan Shu. When

Gongsun Zan heard the scholar's words, he also reacted and looked at the soldiers.

How difficult it was for Yuan Shao to attack Youzhou, he had personal experience The princes have the most experience.

Although Gongsun Zan looked down on Yuan Shu, he also knew that Nanyang City could not be captured in a few days.

Several lieutenants also looked at the soldiers, and they were also curious about how Cao Cao captured Nanyang City.

The soldiers heard The scholar said, seeing Gongsun Zan looking at him, he quickly said:

"All this has something to do with Cao Cao's military advisor, Lin Yuan."

When everyone heard the soldiers mention Lin Yuan, there was a hint of surprise on their faces.

They had all been attracted by Yuan Shu just now and forgot about Lin Yuan, the counselor beside Cao Cao. Neither Gongsun Zan nor the scholar-general could forget Lin Yuan.

It was this man's The plan prevented Youzhou from being captured by Yuan Shao.

Knowing that the capture of Nanyang in such a short time was related to Lin Yuan, they were no longer shocked. They knew

Lin Yuan's ability very well. If others said that he could do it in a few days, They would think it was a joke to capture Nanyang within a few days. They thought it was reasonable for Lin Yuan to capture Nanyang City in a few days. However, Gongsun Zan and other people in the hall were still curious about what method Lin Yuan used to make Cao Cao win in a few days. Capture Nanyang from within

"Lin Yuan had already placed internal agents in Nanyang City. When Cao Cao's army attacked Nanyang City,"

"The internal response placed in Nanyang City came to the city gate behind Nanyang City."

"There is also a large army outside Nanyang City. This army composed of thousands of soldiers was also arranged by Lin Yuan"

"Yuan Shu and others were attracted by Cao Cao's frontal army. These few insiders took advantage of the empty gate at the rear to attack Cao Cao."

"The city gates were opened and Cao Cao's detoured army was allowed to enter Nanyang City. This army entered Nanyang City."

"Harassed the defense of Yuan Shu's army in front, causing Yuan Shu's army to become distraught."

"The front city gate was quickly breached by the army, and Nanyang City was soon occupied by Cao Cao's army."

"Seeing that the situation was over, Yuan Shu could only commit suicide with his sword."

The soldier looked at Gongsun Zan and told all the contents of the intelligence sent back by the spies.

Hearing the soldier's words, Gongsun Zan and others were shocked again.

Lin Yuan had placed internal agents in Nanyang City in advance? This means that Lin Yuanzao He focused on Nanyang and made preparations in advance.

There was a trace of cold sweat on the back of Gongsun Zan's neck. Yuan Shu was not an ordinary prince.

Lin Yuan actually targeted Yuan Shu, who was relatively powerful. He admired his courage.

What shocked him even more was that, It was also because the city gates of Xuzhou were opened that Cao Cao captured Xuzhou without losing a fight.

Now Lin Yuan repeated his old trick and placed a man in Nanyang City to open the city gates.

This man dared to use the same strategy twice, he was so confident.

Gongsun Zan felt in his heart after Youzhou was saved He admires Lin Yuan's strategy very much. Now he knows the reason why Nanyang City lost the city.

He admires Lin Yuan even more in his heart. Unfortunately, this person is not his own counselor.

If he is your own counselor, he must be in Yuan Shu's camp in Jizhou now. Sitting in the mansion discussing matters with other generals under his command.

Yuan Shao would become his prisoner at any time, and Gongsun Zan felt a trace of regret in his heart.

When he was conquering Dong Zhuo that day, Lin Yuan came to his army to exchange soldiers with him.

At that time, He sincerely invited Lin Yuan, maybe it was not impossible for Lin Yuan to consider assisting him.

Thinking of this, Gongsun Zan felt a little regretful.

The scholar quickly reacted and calmed down the shock in his heart.

He did not expect that Cao Cao took just a few days to capture Nanyang, it was actually because Lin Yuan had placed several spies in Nanyang City in advance.

Thinking of this, the scholar felt a little fear in his heart. No matter how vigilant he was, he never thought that a city would be ruined by several spies.

The scholar suddenly frowned and looked The soldier said:"Cao Cao attacked Nanyang."

"Even if the other princes don't know the news, Yuan Shu, the governor of Nanyang, must know it."

"Yuan Shu knew very well that Cao Cao was stronger than him. In this case, Yuan Shu would definitely send envoys to Jizhou and Jingzhou?"

"Once Yuan Shu asks for help from these two men, Liu Biao and Yuan Shao will surely send troops to support him."

"Yuan Shao and Liu Biao must understand the principle of dying lips and cold teeth."

"Why did Yuan Shao and Liu Biao's armies not dispatch when Nanyang City was breached?"

"Didn't Yuan Shu send an envoy to ask for help from these two people?"

The scholar looked at the soldiers with a trace of doubt on his face.

Gongsun Zan nodded slightly when he heard the scholar's words. The scholar's words made sense.

When Yuan Shao attacked Youzhou, he also chose to ask Cao Cao for help.

Now that Cao Cao is attacking Yuan Shu, Gongsun Zan thinks Yuan Shu will definitely send envoys to Yuan Shao and Liu Biao for help.

Several lieutenants nodded slightly when they heard the scholar's words. They thought the scholar's words made sense. If they are not as strong as the opponent, the best way is to hold the city and wait for support from other princes.

"Report to my lord!"

"Jizhou also sent back a piece of information, which said that Lin Yuan wrote a letter to Liu Biao"

"The content of this letter is that the next city Cao Cao wants to attack is Jingzhou. It is said that Lin Yuan provoked Liu Biao in the letter"

"Liu Biao was very angry and worried that Jingzhou would become the second Xuzhou, so he sent his eldest son Liu Qi to Jizhou."

"Firstly, it was to ask for help from Yuan Shao, hoping that Yuan Shao would send troops to support Jingzhou."

"Secondly, it is also to seek marriage and become allies."

"When Cao Cao arrived at Nanyang City, Yuan Shu sent envoys to Jizhou and Jingzhou"

"It is said that Yuan Shao's advisers saw Yuan Shu's plea for help and Lin Yuan's personal letter to Liu Biao, and analyzed that Lin Yuan was attacking in the east."

"He didn't really want to attack Nanyang, but he wanted to trick Liu Biao out and kill Liu Biao and his army in one fell swoop."

"In this way, Jingzhou will be occupied by Cao Cao"

"Cao Cao's counselor suggested that Yuan Shao and Liu Biao should stand still."

"Lin Yuan failed to ambush Liu Biao's army, which naturally caused Cao Cao to withdraw his army and stop attacking Yuan Shu."

"Presumably for this reason, Yuan Shao and Liu Biao did not send troops to support Yuan Shu."

The soldier watched Gongsun Zan tell the contents of the intelligence, and also told Gongsun Zan his own judgment.

After hearing the soldier's words, Gongsun Zan looked at each other and the scholar next to him, with a hint of shock in their eyes. Unexpectedly, something unexpected happened So, Lin Yuan actually wrote a letter to Liu Biao.

Now they understand why Liu Biao and Yuan Shao did not send troops to support Yuan Shu.

Both of them were confused by Lin Yuan's letter, and Lin Yuan's letter was to deceive them.

Let The two of them thought that Cao Cao was going to attack Jingzhou, so Liu Biao naturally did not dare to send troops to support Yuan Shu.

Thinking of this, Gongsun Zan and the scholar had a cold sweat on their necks. Lin Yuan was planning this in a series.

First, he placed spies in Nanyang City in preparation for opening the city gate later. Make preparations.

Write a letter to Liu Biao to confuse Liu Biao and Yuan Shao. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Let the two think that Cao Cao is going to attack Jingzhou, so that Cao Cao can lead his army to attack Yuan Shu with peace of mind.No need to worry that Liu Biao will send troops to attack Xuzhou to resolve the crisis in Nanyang

"Lord! Cao Cao captured Nanyang City and the lord was relieved."

"Are you preparing a gift for Cao Cao? Congratulate him on capturing Nanyang?"

The scholar looked at Gongsun Zan and expressed his thoughts.

Gongsun Zan nodded slightly when he heard the scholar's words, looked at the scholar and said:"Not only do I want to congratulate Cao Cao,"

"I heard that Lin Yuan also got married some time ago, so I am preparing a big gift to congratulate him on his wedding."

"Yes!"

The scholar bowed his hands and saluted. He and Gongsun Zan knew what the soldiers said.

Cao Cao became stronger after conquering Nanyang, and was assisted by Lin Yuan, a counselor.

Gongsun Zan's Youzhou was also saved by Lin Yuan's strategy, and now he He has become a mortal enemy of Yuan Shao.

Naturally, he must have a good relationship with

Cao Cao. Li Ru's residence in Chang'an. During this period, Li Ru rarely went to Dong Zhuo's residence.

He returned to his home every day after retreating from the court. As for Dong Zhuo's daily Indulging in the gentle land, he seldom dissuades[]

Li Ru frowned slightly as he looked at the map in front of him. Each city on it had its own princes.

Since the princes moved the capital to Chang'an and stopped conquering Dong Zhuo, the princes began to compete with each other for the city.

There are many fewer princes on the map now, and the most famous among the princes now is Cao Cao.

Li Ru frowned slightly as he looked at Yanzhou, Xuzhou and Chen Liu on the map.

These cities all belong to Cao Cao, and now Cao Cao is the strongest among the princes.

Li Ru then looked at the cities in Jizhou, Jingzhou, Jiangdong, Yizhou, Nanyang and other cities. These big cities all had their own princes.

Although their current strength is not as good as Cao Cao for the time being, no one can tell what will happen in the future.

Li Ru looked at Xuzhou again, his frown deepening.

Looking at Xuzhou on the map, he thought of Cao Cao.

When you think of Cao Cao, you will think of his counselor Lin Yuan. This was the first counselor who made Li Ru feel frustrated.

It was this man who made Dong Zhuo take the emperor hostage and move the capital to Chang'an. He hid in Chang'an and enjoyed the gentle countryside.

"Why!"

Li Ru is now more and more disappointed with Dong Zhuo. The ministers who were previously photographed by Dong Zhuo in the court hall have begun to feel uneasy again recently, especially Wang Yun.

This person is often at the house and quietly calls some ministers in the name of drinking tea. Talking about something.

Li Ru also told Dong Zhuo about this matter, but Dong Zhuo really didn't care.

He still remembered what Dong Zhuo said to him, and some sour scholars who had no power to restrain chickens could only talk about it.

His subordinates With his adopted son Lu Bu and other tiger generals, as well as the brave Xiliang army.

Forgive these slanderous scholars, they dare not make mistakes.

After Li Ru heard Dong Zhuo's words, he didn't say anything more.

Now Dong Zhuo has no fighting spirit. , if you continue like this, you will completely lose your fighting spirit.

"Report!"

"Sir, Nanyang City has sent information!"

A soldier entered the study and placed a bamboo tube in front of Li Ru.

Every prince's city has spies stationed by Li Ru. Once there is any important news, it will be sent back to Chang'an to let him know.

Nanyang is Yuan Shu's city, no matter what Knowing what happened.

Li Ru opened the bamboo tube and took out the brocade cloth. Looking at the contents on the brocade cloth, Li Ru's face changed greatly.

"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!"

Li Ru held the brocade cloth tightly in his hand and looked a little pale.

"gentlemen! What are you doing?"

The soldier saw Li Ru's pale face and quickly asked

"Prepare the car, I'm going to see the Grand Master!"

Li Ru looked at the soldier who sent the information, with a gloomy look on his face.

"Yes!"

Although the soldier was confused as to why Li Ru was so rude after reading the intelligence, he quickly turned around and left to prepare the carriage. Li Ru was Dong Zhuo's most trusted adviser, and a soldier did not dare to neglect him.

Soon a carriage stopped outside the gate of Li Ru's mansion. , Li Ru stuffed the brocade cloth into his sleeves and got on the carriage to go to Dong Zhuo's mansion.

At this time, the sky was getting dark, and the sound of beating musical instruments came from the Taishi's mansion. There were also the laughter of dancing girls and Dong Zhuo, standing there The soldiers outside the mansion had a look of envy on their faces.

The carriage quickly arrived at Dong Zhuo's mansion. Li Ru got off the carriage and hurriedly entered Dong Zhuo's mansion.

"I’ve met Mr."

The soldier saw Li Ru hurried in and saluted quickly. Li Ru ignored the soldier.

With an anxious look on his face, he walked into the hall full of musical instruments and laughter.
