Chapter 937
Two days later, General Li Tong, who was guarding Runan, received a letter from Xun Yu, urging him to pay attention to the situation in the county.Li Tong immediately recruited local soldiers and gathered the elite near Runan City.

Unfortunately, his deployment has not yet been completed, and the accident happened.Liu Pi, the remnant member of the Yellow Turban Party, gathered tens of thousands of old parties and suddenly launched a large-scale rebellion near Runan.Fortunately, Li Tong prepared in time and firmly guarded Runan, but he did not dare to attack lightly.The two sides launched a confrontation, and the rebels took the opportunity to loot around Runan.

After the news reached Xu Du, a difficult problem was posed in front of Xun Yu.

Cao Cao's main force was on the way to Guandu, Le Jin and Yu Jin were stationed in Taishan Laiwu, Cao Hong and Xia Houdun guarded Yingchuan Changshe and Fanchang counties to guard against Ma's attack, the only mobile corps that could rescue Runan was in Cao Ren's subordinate in Xudu.

If you don't save it, Runan will be in danger; if you save it, everything will be empty.To save or not to save has become the focus of debate.Cao Ren himself swore that he would break the siege of Runan within ten days, but Xun Yu didn't agree.

Just before the dispatch of troops was finalized, a strange rumor suddenly appeared in Xudu City, which made the already very complicated situation worse:
"Sun Ce of Lujiang intends to attack Xu!"

After three years of hard work, the Young Lions of Jiangdong have feasted on the land of Soochow and become another new prince in this troubled world.After last year, Sun Ce saw that the expansion of the territory had reached a bottleneck, so he began to recuperate and recruit talents. It seems that he has a lot of ambition.But unexpectedly, the lion's first roar this year was so earth-shattering.

Attack Xudu from the Lujiang River in Huainan, traveling thousands of miles.Moreover, passing through Yuan Shu's territory on the way sounds like an extremely absurd idea at first glance.But no one will laugh when they think that the mastermind is Sun Ce.In the past few years, that lunatic from Jiangdong has brought too many surprises to the world, and no one can guarantee that he will never do such a thing.

What's more, this rumor pointed out clearly that Sun Ce sent troops to cooperate with Yuan Shao.One south and one north joined hands to move, and the attack on Xu was pretended to be a response to Hebei.Many people think that Runan was originally Yuan Shao's native place, filled with former students and old officials. Sun Ce's choice to send troops at this time has a stronger meaning.

The bad news came one after another, causing Xu Du to fall into anxiety of not knowing what to do.Xun Yu had no choice but to hastily order Cao Ren's troops to move to near Xiang County in order to block the access to Xudu from the southeast.Just in case, he also strengthened Xudu's city defense preparations, announcing that the four doors are closed and will not be opened without order.

At the same time, Xi Zhicai walked into Xun Yu's mansion again, and after sitting down, he said very plainly: "The storm in Xudu is about to start, and I also smell a sense of uneasiness."

"You are talking about those people in the Taichang Mansion, right?" Xun Yu didn't raise his head, and continued to work on the paperwork.

"Well, I didn't expect that behind all of this was the old fox who had been hiding for many years. If he hadn't let the birds return to their nests, he would have never guessed that he still had contact with the Ma family. Moreover, in just a few days, he actually made a So many events come."

"The shadow of the Ma family is really powerful. After all, it is the secret department established for the first time in this era. Does it bring a lot of pressure to your Jing'an Cao?" Hearing this, Xun Yu finally put down his pen.

"That's right, the shadow of the Ma family has all the means under the surface, such as assassination, infiltration, internal communication, and anti-interference, and has a clear division of labor and a rigorous system. Compared with Jing'an Cao, it is far behind in terms of coverage and depth of means." .”

Xi Zhicai sighed leisurely towards the west, he really wanted to know why the Ma family spread their plots in Kanto when they moved their troops in Hanzhong.Could it be that that family has always been obsessed with sending troops to Kanto?
"It seems that we have to be more careful and guard against the Ma family in the future. Perhaps, it's time to have a detailed talk with the lord and consider reconciliation with the Ma family. Otherwise, facing such a big hand in the shadows every day, it will be really difficult. Let people live a few years less." After leaving these words, Xi Zhi got up and left slowly.

But Xun Yu smiled and continued to write a letter to Cao Cao. The ink on it was clear and round, and the ink was still dry. Yuan Shao, Fang is a good strategy for the expansion and development of the Cao family. 'This sentence……

But at this time, in General Chaqi's mansion, several people were sitting on it, with excited faces, listening to Dong Cheng's mobilization.

"If Xun Wen thinks that he can guard against external forces, he can feel at ease. He doesn't know what happened. He closed the gates of Xudu City to prevent entry and exit, but it is convenient for us to do things." Dong Cheng raised his wine glass and said in a confident tone, "The time has come, let's see Whether you can defeat the city in one battle, the fate of Xudu and the Han Dynasty is in your hands."

Wu Shuo, Zhong Ji and others showed admiration.Xuzhou, Runan, Jiangdong, and Dong Cheng's positions in these three places were real or false, and all of Xudu's defense forces were emptied at once.Moreover, Liu Bei of Xuzhou also secretly replied at the same time, promising to fight against Cao on the same day!
Now that Cao Cao is stuck in Guandu, Li Tong is trapped in Runan, and Cao Ren is rushing to Xiang County, Xu Du has fallen into an unprecedented emptiness.The softest underbelly of the city has been exposed, and the sharp spears have been set up.It only needs a slight stab, and the Han Dynasty will be reborn here.Such an opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

"After stepping out of the small room tonight, we will meet in the hall tomorrow morning!"

Dong Cheng scanned the colleagues around him, each of them showed a fanatical expression.This is a kind of excitement derived from nervousness, and it is also the intoxication of a great cause.He slammed the wine glass on the ground, and held up the belt edict with the Han Emperor's calligraphy on it.

"For the revival of the Han Dynasty!" He raised his arms and shouted.

"For the revival of the Han Dynasty!" The people below raised their glasses in response, drank it all in one gulp, and threw their glasses to swear.

Unsurprisingly, in the Taichang mansion, there was still a meeting unknown to outsiders.

"Old Yang, it's time for us to prepare for the evacuation." Mu Yuanfeng bowed and cupped his fists, and said solemnly: "In order to complete your deployment, we have used a lot of shadows. Presumably, after all this, Cao Jing'an has already followed the vines. I found Old Yang."

"It's okay, you can sneak back to your original place, anyway, the fire in Xuduli has already been lit." Yang Biao took a sip of hot tea leisurely, without the slightest panic: "Your lord's confession, I have already done it, and the favor owed to him by Chang'an to take in the dog has also been paid off."

"Old Yang, Jing'an Cao has discovered you!" Tang Xiaomi was a little anxious. Although she hadn't seen him for a long time, she was a little bit more reluctant to part with this wise and kind old man: "Don't worry, Although we may have exposed our identities, it is still possible to create some confusion and send you to Chang'an."

"You don't need to be so troublesome. You don't understand political matters." Yang Biao seemed to be very kind to Tang Xiaomi, and couldn't help explaining a few more sentences: "Cao Cao needs someone who can talk to the Ma family. The person who talks, and that person is none other than me. Therefore, I will not be in any danger."

"This?..." Looking at Yang Biao's calm and determined expression, Qin Shou knew that Yang Biao had already left a way out for him.After looking at each other with Mu Yuanfeng and Tang Xiaomi, the three of them bowed at the same time and said, "Since that's the case, then we are going to where we should go. Take care, Mr. Yang, we will meet later."

"Don't worry, I'm an old bone, and I still don't want to die." Yang Biao chuckled, waved his hand to signal for the three of them to retreat, looked at the afterimage in the sky outside the door, and said to himself, "I won't take it so easily." Dead, this troubled world has not yet ended, how can I be willing to close my eyes?"

Three places to seek, three thoughts.The only thing they all agree on is: tomorrow will be the most restless day in Xudu.
