The Necromancer of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 99 Aren't You Afraid

Yuan Xu returned to Yecheng, and reports of the battle between Bingzhou and Nanpi came one after another.

Along with the Bingzhou Battle Report, Zhong Changtong was also sent.

After reading the Bingzhou battle report, Yuan Xu asked Tian Feng: "How do you think Guo Fengxiao handled this matter?"

"I don't think there is anything wrong with it." Tian Feng replied.

"Come with me to meet Zhong Changtong." Yuan Xu stood up.

Tian Feng accompanied him out.

"Cao Cao is eyeing him like a tiger. Although he is powerless, he will never die in destroying me in Hebei." Walking out of Yuan's house, Yuan Xu said, "I always feel that we should send troops to Huainan."

"After successive defeats and returning to Huainan, Cao Cao must recuperate." Tian Feng replied: "There are crops provided by the son in Hebei, but he has nothing."

Yuan Xu nodded: "When the farm is completed, I will provide some information and ask them to cultivate rice seeds and other crop seeds."

"Isn't the son already provided to the common people?" Tian Feng was at a loss: "Why do you want to cultivate it?"

"Hybrid rice species will degenerate every year." Yuan Xu said: "After three to five years, the yield will be reduced to the same level as before."

"The rice seeds will still degenerate?" Tian Feng looked surprised: "Isn't it only the rice seeds cultivated on the farm that can be used?"

Yuan Xu nodded: "I once said that some can be monopolized, and some cannot. Rice seeds are one of the resources that can be monopolized."

When he came outside the prison, Tian Feng asked Yuan Xu: "How do you plan to deal with the high-ranking officials?"

The corner of Yuan Xu's mouth twitched: "Kill."

He answered without hesitation.

Tian Feng didn't ask much.

After entering the prison, the jailer led Yuan Xu to the cell where Zhong Changtong was held.

Zhong Changtong, with disheveled hair, was sitting on the haystack. When he heard someone walk in, he didn't even look up.

"My lord saw you coming." The jailer yelled, "Are you still up?"

Zhong Changtong didn't move.

The jailer wanted to shout again, Yuan Xu winked.

Opening the cell door, the jailer stepped aside.

Yuan Xu and Tian Feng walked into the cell.

"Do you know me?" Coming to Zhong Changtong, Yuan Xu looked down at him.

Looking up at Yuan Xu, Zhong Changtong replied: "The former fourth son of the Yuan family, now the master of Hebei, how many people in the world do not recognize?"

"Since we know each other, how dare you be rude?" Yuan Xu sneered, "You are quite courageous."

"No matter how many etiquettes there are, is it still a death?" Zhong Changtong replied: "If you have any questions, just ask."

"Gao Gan went to the Huns?" Yuan Xu asked.

"It was I who proposed to ask him to go." Zhong Changtong replied: "My lord can't tolerate him. If he goes outside the pass, there may be a way to survive."

Yuan Xu nodded.

He didn't ask any more questions, and greeted Tian Feng: "Let's go."

After Yuan Xu left the prison, Tian Feng asked: "Young master, don't you plan to ask more questions?"

"Nothing to ask." Yuan Xu replied, "Feng Xiao has already asked what should be asked."

He then said: "The war in Nanpi is tight, I have to go there myself."

"When is your master going to leave?" Tian Feng had read the Nanpi battle report and knew that the situation there was critical.

"Tomorrow morning." Yuan Xu said, "Ye City is handed over to you."

"On the battlefield, meet the eldest son, do you have any plans?" Tian Feng asked.

Yuan Xu glanced at him, but said nothing.

He didn't speak, Tian Feng already understood.

When Yuan Xu arrived in Nanpi, if Yuan Tan knew the truth and surrendered early, maybe he would be spared because of his brother.

If he resists stubbornly, he will die in the end...

It's not true surrender, keeping it is a disaster after all.

Pang Tong and Xiahou Dun guarded Nanpi for some days.

More than ten thousand soldiers guarded the city like an iron bucket.

Yuan Tan and Zang Ba led more than [-] coalition troops to Nanpi, and they repeatedly attacked but failed.

Nanpi was unable to attack for a long time, so Yuan Tan ordered Xinpi to go to the city to shout.

Simpi came to the gate of the city: "Is Pang Shiyuan here?"

On the top of the wall, Pang Tong asked, "What do you have to say?"

"I came to persuade you to surrender under the order of the eldest son." Simpi shouted: "The eldest son has been in Qingzhou for many years, and he has tens of thousands of soldiers under his command. Now he is united with General Zang. With Nanpi's meager military force, he can stop the attack. When do you get it?"

"When can it be stopped?" Pang Tong replied: "I have submitted the battle report to the young master, and he will arrive soon."

"The Fourth Young Master is being dragged in Ruyin by Cao Mengde." Xin Pi smiled and said, "I don't know when it will be until he comes to help."

"Young master defeating Cao Mengde is like searching for something. When he comes, don't kneel down and beg for mercy." Pang Tong also had a smile on his face: "You don't have to tell me that Nanhua is in Cao Cao's army. When he went to Xudu, young master easily Repel them, fight Ruyin, the result will be the same."

"I tried to persuade you, but you didn't listen." Simpi said, "Then it's no wonder the eldest son is merciless."

"When the two armies are at war, don't show mercy." Pang Tong replied: "The greater the enmity, the more reason you will have to do it in the future."

The muscles on Xin Pi's face twitched a few times, he snorted coldly, turned his horse's head, and headed towards Yuan Tan's formation.

When he came to him, Yuan Tan asked, "How is it?"

"Pang Shiyuan followed the fourth son wholeheartedly, and there is no possibility of persuading him to surrender." Simpi replied: "The eldest son has to make plans early."

Yuan Tan looked at Zang Ba: "What does General Zang think?"

"Besides fighting, what else can I do?" Zang Ba replied.

"Send the order, attack the city!" Yuan Tan ordered.

The coalition soldiers were ordered to attack Nanpi again.

The rain of arrows inside and outside the city staggered and shouted to kill.

From Yuan Tan's order, the battle continued until sunset.

Like every time in the past, this siege ended with the retreat of the coalition forces.

Pang Tong and Xiahou Dun defended Nanpi firmly.

Yuan Tan and Zang Ba were repeatedly defeated in attacking the city.

A few days later, the two got the news that the war in Ruyin had ended.

Cao Cao was defeated and lost tens of thousands of troops and returned to Huainan in embarrassment. Yuan Xu was able to solve the Qingzhou war.

Looking at the city wall of Nanpi, Yuan Tan said to Zang Ba: "The battle in Ruyin is over, and my fourth brother will be here soon."

"Xiansi seems to be afraid of him?" Zang Ba asked.

"He can drive dead corpses to fight. Cao Mengde was repeatedly defeated in battle with him. Even Guo Fengxiao was captured alive by him. Isn't General Zang afraid?" Yuan Tan asked.

Zang Ba has long heard that Yuan Xu has such an ability, but he has never seen it with his own eyes.

Of course he didn't want to fight against such an opponent.

"What are your plans?" Zang Ba asked Yuan Tan.

He secretly made a decision that if Yuan Tan mentioned withdrawing, he would leave immediately without hesitation.

"Either retreat before he arrives, or step up and attack Nanpi." Yuan Tan said: "The army staying outside the city will definitely not be able to resist his murderous corpse."

"Siege the city early tomorrow morning." Zang Ba thought for a moment: "If you can't break Nanpi again, you should withdraw to Qingzhou as soon as possible."

Yuan Tan was also upset.

When he decided to send troops at the beginning, he thought that Cao Jun could hold Yan Yuanxu for a long time.

Unexpectedly, Cao Cao who attacked Ruyin was the first to be defeated...
