Even if Cao Cao really followed Chen Gong's words and dug ditches to bring Yishui and Surabaya to irrigate the city, it still didn't cause too many disturbances in the city.

This made Cao Cao's army somewhat unexpected.

"Feng Xiao, it seems that Lu Wenhou is more popular than you imagined!"

Outside Xiapi City, in Cao Cao's barracks, Cheng Yu said to Guo Jia rather teasingly.

Guo Jia laughed and said, "I'm afraid Zhong De himself doesn't believe what he said. No one in the world knows what kind of person Lu Bu is?"

Cheng Yu naturally understood, but still sighed: "But seeing the slightest movement, I think the lord is going to be very worried."

"The reason for this is nothing more than hope. Now that Yuan Shu's army is being dragged by Zi Xiao in the Kingdom of Liang, this hope can only come from Jiangdong."

"In this way, I will cut off their expectations!"

Chapter 99

"Gongtai, is there any news from Jiangdong?"

Although Xiapi City was relatively stable, Lu Bu was still restless and felt that something was going to happen.

Therefore, he came to Chen Gong almost every day to inquire about Yuan Yao's news.

Chen Gong just smiled wryly to himself.

It took only a few days, and Yuan Yao couldn't fly over, how could he arrive at Xiapi so quickly.

What's more, now that Picheng is under heavy siege, no news from outside can get through at all, and I am not clairvoyant, how can I know the news from Jiangdong.

He had no choice but to respond: "Hui Wenhou, there is no news from Jiangdong yet, but Mr. Yuan must have led the army out, we just need to wait patiently."

Lu Bu didn't hear the answer he wanted, and he was even more worried.

Although the city has shown that it is calm these few days, it is secretly turbulent, how can I not feel it.

Especially when there is no outside news at all, it makes people feel even more anxious.

No, it cannot be said that there is no outside news.

It's just that the source of the news came from Cao Jun who surrounded Xiapi City.

And under Guo Fengxiao's deliberate manipulation, news of a certain ulterior motive also spread into Xiapi City.

...

"I heard that the mountains and mountains in the east of the river are everywhere, and Mr. Yuan is too busy to take care of himself. I'm afraid it will be difficult to rush to help Xuzhou."

"Is this true? Where did Gongmin get the news?"

"Hey, we are trapped in Xiapi, and we don't know if the reinforcements will come. If we don't make plans early, we will just sit and wait for death."

Somewhere in the city, Song Xian, Hou Cheng, and Wei Xu gathered together, as if they were plotting something.

But Song Xian said: "I really have no choice but to ask someone to go to Jiangdong to find out the news. I think the person I entrusted here doesn't know my intentions. The news should be correct."

Hou Cheng's face changed greatly when he heard this, and he said quickly: "So, what the military adviser usually says, isn't it all lies to us?"

"Whether it was intentional to deceive or not, I can't say for sure now, but Yuan Yao can't come here, I'm afraid it's a certainty. Now that Cao Cao's army is out, we should make another plan."

Wei Xu, who had been listening for a long time, vaguely understood Song Xian's meaning at this time, and said in a panic: "Gongmin, don't you want it?"

But I heard that Song Xian immediately snatched the words and said: "Ziji don't have any doubts, Marquis Wen's martial arts are unparalleled in the world, how can I have two hearts. I just said that I want to be careful, but I can't really listen to what Chen Gongtai said. .”

Hou Cheng and Wei Xu both nodded.

After all, Lv Bu's strength was deeply rooted in his heart. If he hadn't been forced to do so, no one would be willing to take risks.

It's just that everyone began to pay more attention to the news from the direction of Jiangdong.

It's just that this news was released by Guo Jia.

I don't know when, rumors about Yuan Yao began to spread everywhere in Xiapi City.

It was also because of the need to stabilize the morale of the army that Chen Gong had released the news that Yuan Yao had come to rescue Xiapi early on. The entire city of Xiapi was always paying attention to Yuan Yao's name.

This is now when hearing Yuan Yao's name, almost everyone's ears are pricked up.

"Have you heard, that Yuan Yao was held back by Jiang Dongshan, and he couldn't save Xuzhou."

"No, no, I heard that Yuan Yao was intercepted in Guangling, and that's why he couldn't come."

"You are all wrong! I heard that the relationship between Yuan Yao and his father-in-law has been broken, and the two are incompatible. Then Yuan Yao never set off for Xuzhou!"

"Hiss! Where did you say that?"

"We have to start with Marquis Wen's daughter. Our Marquis Wen is unparalleled in the world in martial arts, and that girl can't be inferior. She can't let her skills go too far."

"That's right, that's right. I went there when Miss formed the Qiongqi Army. The lady I saw on the spot rode a horse and held a halberd. She was very powerful."

"Go, go, whoever wants to hear about your past, don't interrupt, shut up and listen quickly."

The person who interrupted made himself feel bored, and was not angry, just listening to the rumors silently.

"My lady is indeed very skilled in martial arts, but Mr. Yuan is an inexperienced person. Don't look at his title of Jiangdong Xiaolangjun, it's just because of his family background and the general in his father's hands. That's all. Speaking of his martial prowess, it is very commonplace."

"I've heard that. I heard that Mr. Yuan doesn't like martial arts very much."

Hearing someone agreeing, the speaker got even more excited, and quickly pointed and said: "Look, I'm not talking nonsense!"

Immediately, someone asked again: "But what does this have to do with Mr. Yuan and our Marquis Wen? Could it be that Marquis Wen despises Yuan Yao because of this matter of learning martial arts?"

"It doesn't really matter. After all, my lady's martial arts skills are not comparable to ordinary martial arts practitioners, let alone the children of this family. It's just..."

However, he saw the man talking and looking around, deliberately doing a mysterious look, but it made the people around him focus on him.

"I heard that it was Mr. Yuan's family who was messing around with others and acting recklessly, which caused the lady's displeasure and started the dispute. As a result, he almost got into a fight. This is the relationship between the two families that is affected."

"Well!"

Everyone was amazed when they heard it, and each of them had a somewhat excited expression on their faces.

Immediately someone said: "These children of aristocratic families, how can they be honest, they must be like this!"

The people on the side also echoed again and again: "That's right, all the children of Te Niang's aristocratic family are like this, but there is no good thing."

"It's just relying on family background!"

"Just a wimp!"

For a moment, the atmosphere seemed to turn into a meeting to criticize the children of the aristocratic family.

Of course, some of them seriously said: "So, are we really helpless here?"

As soon as this remark was made, the surroundings became quiet.

Throughout Xiapi City, various rumors about Yuan Yao began to spread everywhere.

The words are convincing, what is said is rigid, well-founded, and it is almost an oath to God.

There are also rumors that are only rumors, wretched and obscene, which seems to be shameful.However, this gossip spread much faster than other news.

It even became more and more outrageous, blaming Yuan Yao's discord with the Lu family on the sexual discord.

To let Yuan Yao know, he must be furious.

You local turtles, how can you know the profound knowledge after being influenced by the nations.

But no matter what kind of rumor it was, it was said that Yuan Yao would not be able to come to Xuzhou. Xiapi was already in dire straits, and now there was no hope of reinforcements from abroad, and people's hearts began to become a little impetuous.

Rumors are spreading everywhere, and the morale of the army is floating!

Xiapi City is precarious, from generals to soldiers, and even ordinary people, it seems that they all know that Yuan Yao will not be able to come to Xiapi City!

Chapter 100 Zhang Wenyuan's Decision

At this time of turbulence, not everyone has a change in their hearts.

There was one person in Xiapi city who was determined and did not doubt at all whether Yuan Yao would come back to save Xiapi.

This person is Zhang Liao.

"Brother Wen Yuan, Marquis Wen won't be occupying Xuzhou for much time now, so it's hard to guarantee that Cao Cao will join forces with Liu Bei and he will still think about it. In fact, now that our two families are united, Cao Cao can't do much. It can only drive a wedge between me and my father-in-law."

"If that day really comes, Brother Wen Yuan must not be fooled by Cao Cao's treacherous schemes, and you must trust me and persuade Wen Hou with good words!"

Thinking of what Yuan Yao said to him when he left Shouchun, Zhang Liao really admired his foresight.

Sure enough, Cao Cao wants to make a fuss about Mr. Yuan!

Zhang Liao didn't believe the rumors in the city recently that Yuan Yao was being harassed by Shan Yue.

Yuan Yao's ability to lead troops has been known since Jiangdong. Perhaps other people in Lu Bu's army have only heard about it, but Zhang Liao, who has personally experienced it, firmly believes that Yuan Yao will never let go of his father-in-law for the sake of Shanyue. .

As for the discord between the Yuan family and the Lu family, that is even more nonsense.

The relationship between Yuan Yao and Miss Lu's family, Zhang Liao, who watched them get married, also understood that there is absolutely no way to break up, it is nothing more than Cao Cao's scheme.

I also underestimated Cao Cao in my heart.

This trick is also about character.

It is obviously not a high-grade strategy to spread rumors about the couple's affairs.

Looking at the time, it was time for him to patrol the city. Zhang Liao, who was as steady as Mount Tai, was about to go out, but he saw a soldier come in and report that it was General Song Xian who asked to see him.

Zhang Liao's heart moved, he came to him at this time, I'm afraid Song Xian might have some good ideas.

He wanted to think about it, but he didn't show anything on his face, stopped the steps that were about to go out, sat firmly on the seat in the meeting, and said directly to the pawn: "General Song Xian, please come in."

"Yes!"

The pawn retreated away, taking advantage of this spare time, Zhang Liao took off the armor he put on just now, changed into casual clothes, and waited for Song Xian to come in with a relaxed expression.

Song Xian, who came in in a hurry, was also surprised to see Zhang Liao's leisurely appearance, and said somewhat puzzled: "At this moment, General Wen Yuan is very leisurely."

Zhang Liao saw it but smiled and said: "What kind of time is this moment? Now Cao's army has been unable to attack Xiapi for a long time, so they can only do some small tricks of opening canals to fill the city. When Mr. Yuan leads the troops, it will definitely not be possible. Fight and win! Why should I be anxious?"

Song Xian saw Zhang Liao's confident appearance, and his calm expression, which didn't seem to be a fake, and he was suspicious, so he asked: "Brother Wen Yuan is so confident, so Yuan Yao will definitely come to Xiapi? "

But Zhang Liao laughed and said: "Gongmin has never dealt with Mr. Yuan, so it's no wonder that he thinks so."

As he spoke, he looked into the distance again, as if recalling memories, and then said: "Back then Mr. Yuan invited Zhang to go to Jiangdong with him. Zhang and General Song have similar thoughts now."

Song Xian was also slightly taken aback when he heard that, now that Zhang Liao has made great contributions in defending the city, he also has a lot of status in the hearts of the lieutenant generals of Lu Bu's army.

Hearing that Zhang Liao admired him so much, and trusted Yuan Yao unreservedly, Song Xian paid a little attention to Yuan Yao in his heart.

In fact, don't look at Yuan Yao in Jiangdong like a dragon coming out of the water, a fierce dragon crossing the river, the chaos is turned upside down.In the final analysis, he was still Yuan Shu's son who came out of Jiangdong. In the eyes of outsiders, that was still Yuan Shu's strength.

Even if it is important, it means that Yuan Shu's influence has expanded again, and the expansion is not small.

Facing Yuan Shu's son, it is not certain how many people can really pay attention to and understand.

Of course, people like Lu Su and Guo Jia would not ignore Yuan Yao's performance.

So when Yuan Yao asked Yu Fan to find Lu Su, Lu Su agreed to come to Jiangdong without hesitation.

And Guo Jia also understood that Yuan Yao would come sooner or later, and Xiapi City had to be destroyed before Yuan Yao came, so he did not hesitate to spread all kinds of rumors to confuse the army in the city.

But for people like Song Xian, they just know that Yuan Yao is the son-in-law of Marquis Wen, and they seem to be doing well in Jiangdong.

As for how capable he is, if he is just a son of a noble family, how capable he is as a leader?

Normally, Lu Bu's praise was nothing more than his love for the house and Wu, but now that Zhang Liao is saying the same thing, it seems that this young master of the Yuan family is really so capable?

I couldn't help but shake my original idea when I came here.

However, Song Xian asked calmly: "It seems that General Wen Yuan got along well with that Mr. Yuan's family when he was in Jiangdong, but I heard that Mr. Yuan's family is not skilled in martial arts, so he is not a warrior. man."

As he spoke, he secretly looked at Zhang Liao's expression, and found that there was nothing unusual about him, and then continued: "If you are not a brave man, how can you lead an army to fight? I am afraid that Cao Cao, who has heard about the arrival of soldiers, is unwilling to come. Bar."

"This rumor is so powerful that even the generals in the army believe it!"

Hearing Song Xian's words, Zhang Liao immediately understood that the rumor was responsible.

"Now that the generals have such thoughts, I am afraid that the army is even more precarious!"

Of course, Zhang Liao also felt the atmosphere in the army these few days, but he didn't expect the situation to be so serious. Fortunately, Song Xian seemed to want to explore his own thoughts today, but he showed his timidity first.

"It can't go on like this!"

Suddenly made a decision in his heart, but Zhang Liao said with a smile: "Young Master Yuan is indeed not a brave man, this statement is true."

Song Xian's expression changed slightly as soon as he heard it, and he didn't know what was on his mind.
