Withdrawing from Runan, how can we be worthy of our ancestors?

However, after rejecting the proposal of the Yangzhou Army, is there still a way out?

"Is there really no choice at all?" Yuan Shu sighed.

"My lord, you might as well agree to the Yangzhou army's request." Yan Xiang advised.

After all, no matter how stubborn they are, little Runan will never be a match for the Yangzhou Army.

Rather than waiting to die, it is better to take the initiative and still have a chance.

"No! Runan can't be lost." Yuan Shu said firmly.

Yan Xiang didn't even know where Yuan Shu got his confidence.

It's already this time, still want to struggle?

"Cao Cao attacked Runan, he failed, Dongyang Hou will follow in his footsteps." Yuan Shu said.

"My lord, don't forget that the reason why we were able to defend Runan back then was because the Marquis of Dongyang attacked suddenly and repelled Cao Mengde once. Moreover, Yangzhou sent us a lot of supplies..." Yan Xiang was embarrassed to continue.

What's more, there is no doubt that the Yangzhou army is stronger than Cao Cao's army.

What are you struggling with?

Yuan Shu didn't want to hear these analyzes because he knew that Yan Xiang was telling the truth.

"In short, you can't lose Runan, and I can agree to other conditions."

Have a temper.

But to solve the problem, what help?

Sorry, no help at all.

"My lord, there is another way." Yan Xiang said.

"Hurry up." Yuan Shu said eagerly.

"We can only ask Cao Cao's army for reinforcements," Yan Xiang said.

This request was reasonable, after all, it was because of Cao Cao that Yuan Shu decided to send troops.

It stands to reason that Cao Cao will definitely support.

However, is Cao Cao a reasonable person?

This point is doubtful.

"I'm afraid Cao Mengde won't take this muddy water." Yuan Shu sighed.

"No, Cao Cao has no choice but to send reinforcements." Yan Xiang said affirmatively, "Once Runan falls into the hands of the Marquis of Dongyang, Yanzhou will be in danger."

Yuan Shu imagined a map in his mind, starting from Runan, he could reach Chenliu County in Yanzhou.You can also attack Cao Cao's territory in Yuzhou, the Yingchuan area.

Yingchuan area is the gateway of Luoyang.

If Cao Cao didn't want the situation to deteriorate, he could only send troops to rescue.

"Such a good plan, why didn't you say it earlier?" Yuan Shu said.

Yan Xiang looked helpless, what is the best way to do this?

"My lord, I'm afraid Cao Cao is no match for the Yangzhou army when he comes."

Yuan Shu's expression changed, it seemed reasonable.

However, it is always possible to struggle for a longer time and wait for the opportunity.

Yan Xiang's worries are not unreasonable. With 10,000+ Yangzhou troops in Runan, how many people can Cao Cao send?

Less than 20 are all here to die.

However, if 20 troops were transferred from Yanzhou, how much power would Cao Cao have left?

And Yuan Shu agreed to give up Runan, which could appease Liu Ke's anger. Even if Cao Cao failed, Yuan Shu would not be able to be punished.

Unfortunately, Yuan Shu held on to Runan and wouldn't let go.

Therefore, Yuan Shu sent his younger brother Yuan Yin as an envoy to Yanzhou.

Cao Cao was very surprised by Yuan Yin's arrival.

Yuan Shu actually has the face to send an envoy?

"Let's meet and see." Yuan Shao said aside, he had an impression of Yuan Yin.

After Yuan Shao had spoken, Cao Cao of course gave him face.

As soon as Yuan Yin came in, he first saluted Yuan Shao, then looked at Cao Cao, and said, "Please, Prime Minister, save my lord's life!"

"What bad thing did Yuan Shu do again?" Cao Cao said angrily.

"My lord followed the prime minister's order to send troops. I didn't expect Dongyang Marquis to ambush in Jiujiang County, so that he was defeated. Now, this Yangzhou army has begun to attack Runan." Yuan Yin said.

"Good fight!" Cao Cao said excitedly, Yuan Shu just didn't take care of him.

Don't show him any color, and think he is very powerful.
