"Call!"

The eunuch didn't dare to look up, and when he heard Yuan Xi's words, he bowed and retreated as if he had heard an imperial decree.

soon……

Xu You walked into the palace without haste, and the gentleman bowed to Yuan Xi with his fists in his hands, and then he got up and spoke bluntly.

"My Majesty, General Chunyu and General Gao Lan have now returned home in defeat. People in Yecheng are already in panic. Today, there is more news that Cao Cao ordered six prefectures, including Youzhou, Qingzhou, Bingzhou, Xuzhou, Jizhou, and Yanzhou. Cao Jun from the Nine Commanderies came to Ye City in mighty strength..."

As he was speaking, Xu You paused for a moment, looked at Yuan Xi, who had not changed his expression, and continued.

"In less than three days, Cao Jun will definitely come to the city, and I hope the king will make a decision as soon as possible!"

Speaking of this, Xu You pouted, with a bitter taste in his mouth.

Who would have thought that the Yuan family, once the most dominant in the world, had come to the end of the road, and with the defeat of Gao Lan and Chun Yuqiong, the entire Ye city was in panic.

"Ah~"

After a long time, Yuan Xi sighed. He understood Xu You's meaning. It was impossible for them to send a large army to stop Cao Jun's attack.

Not to mention whether their army still has this strength, but the counties under the jurisdiction of Jizhou may have already fallen into the hands of Cao Jun at this moment. Without the support of the local area, the army's expedition is tantamount to killing itself.

"Master Xu, what is the most urgent thing you can do?"

Yuan Xi forced himself to calm down, and asked Xu You politely.

"This……"

Hearing Yuan Xi's words, Xu You couldn't help having a headache.

In the current situation of being besieged on all sides, even when the Overlord of Chu was faced with such a situation, he still couldn't resist Gaozu's siege, and finally ended up committing suicide, let alone with him.

"Your Majesty, the walls of Yecheng are strong, the walls are thick, the river is deep, and there are still five thousand guards in the city, and more than one hundred thousand people. If we strengthen the walls and clear the fields... I think we can hold on for two or three years..."

Xu You's words seemed to give Yuan Xi hope, as long as he can hold onto Yecheng for two or three years, then he still has a chance.

Two or three years?

Do not!

One year!

As long as he can persist for a year, Cao Cao will definitely withdraw his troops, because Cao Cao is not the only one who has the strength to unify the world today, Sun Ce in Jiangdong and Liu Bei in Shuzhong are always watching Cao Cao.

Cao Cao sent hundreds of thousands of troops to fight in Jizhou. As long as he can drag the opponent in Jizhou, I believe Sun Ce and Liu Bei will not let go of this great opportunity to take over the Central Plains.

And by then...

Thinking of this, Yuan Xi's heart became active.

"My lord Xu, now that the state of Chu is at the point of life and death, I hope that your lord can put aside the past and share the joys and sorrows with the lonely king to overcome the difficulties. If... if one day, the state of Chu can be reborn, the lonely king will definitely not forget that Lord Xu helped the state of Chu today. The power to lift up the sky!"

Yuan Xi walked off the throne while talking, and pulled Xu You's people emotionally. Today, there are not many people he can rely on.

"Your Majesty..."

Xu You could feel that Yuan Xi's words were sincere, and he was so moved that he choked up in his heart.

"The former king has shown great kindness to me. If it wasn't for the kindness of the former king, I don't know where I would be lingering at this moment. Now that the former king's foundation is at stake, I would like to repay the kindness of the former king and the king..."

Yuan Xi nodded in satisfaction when he heard Xu You's emotional words.

"Good! Good...Master Xu..."

Xu You and Yuan Xi met each other's eyes, and they looked like they met each other and smiled, and a kind of emotional affection slowly rose in the hearts of the two of them.

"By the way, Master Xu, has there been any news from Master Jushou?"

Yuan Xi frowned slightly when he came back to his senses, thinking that the kidnapped Jushou had never heard from him, and he felt a little sad. If the boss Jushou was here at this moment, he might be able to advise the lonely king.

"Back to Your Majesty, I have searched Ye City in the past few days, but there is no whereabouts of Master Ju..."

Xu You also frowned and shook his head. At this moment, he was full of serving Yuan Xi, so he naturally spoke more sincerely.

"Ah~"

Yuan Xi waved his hand, turned around with a haggard figure and sat back on the throne.

"Master Xu, I'll leave the matter of fortifying the walls and clearing the wilderness of Yecheng to you. The lonely king is a little tired!"

Xu You nodded heavily, he could understand Yuan Xi's pressure at the moment.

"... Your Majesty, if you want to support the city with food and grass for two or three years, there is still a lack of..."

Xu You turned around and was about to leave, hesitated for a moment, then turned around and said.

"Then I don't know what plan Mr. Xu has?" Yuan Xi knew that since the other party raised this question, he naturally already had an idea, didn't he see that the other party looked like he was holding a wisdom pearl!

"The Zhen family!"

Xu You's eyes were bright, and he slowly uttered two words.

"Zhen Mi?" Yuan Xi's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately understood what the other party meant.

Chapter 37 Ning Rong Bet

Jizhou, Yecheng.

The majestic city is like a prehistoric monster crawling on the ground, and a moat is like a dragon swimming in all directions, separating tens of millions of Heijia Cao troops into two worlds.

"Yecheng is worthy of being the capital of the Zhao Kingdom. If King Wuling of Zhao can see the scene today, even under the Nine Springs, he will be gratified!"

"Oh! King Zhao Wuling is really relieved, but I don't know if Cao Mengde can be relieved!"

"Hmm~"

Hearing these provocative words, the young man in the green robe and the black bear cloak couldn't help but frowned slightly.

Turning around silently, a light beard appeared on the young man's face, and his bright eyes looked straight at the haggard old man in front of him.

In fact, the person in front of him is said to be an old man, but his actual age is not too old, but his face is haggard, and his half-white hair is very eye-catching.

"Mr. Ju, why bother to fight with words, the current situation, I think you should be familiar with it!"

The young man's words meant something, but when he heard his words, the old man called Ju Gong was startled, turned around abruptly, his eyes were like two lightning bolts, nailed on the young man in an instant .

"how?"
