    Among the Xiliang princes, the two largest ones were Ma Teng and Han Sui. Their strength could be described as evenly matched.

    Ma Teng wants to take advantage of the opportunity to become powerful, which must be something Han Sui cannot tolerate.

    Yan Liang was going to send an envoy from Yi to Xiliang to explain his interests to Han Sui and induce him to get involved. Even if he could not stop Ma Teng's plan to invade the south, he could at least act as a check.

    When Yan Liang explained his intention, the civil and military people present suddenly realized it, and they all praised Yan Liang for his thoughtfulness.

    Even Jia Xu couldn't help but nod slightly, secretly praising Yan Liang for his mastery of vertical and horizontal directions, and how wonderful this check and balance strategy was.

    When the plan was decided that day, Yi Ji accepted Yan Liang's entrustment, left Xinye, took a small road and sneaked into Longyou to send Han Sui as an envoy.

    Although there was an envoy from Iraq, Yan Liang did not place his hope of retreating from the enemy entirely on Han Sui. Instead, he acted secretly and began to prepare for the enemy's invasion at Wancheng.

    While Yan Liang of Xinye was quietly preparing for the upcoming war in secret, a caravan from Chang'an quietly passed through his territory and headed for Xiangyang City in the name of doing business.

    One day later, in the state capital, Liu Biao once again summoned Jingxiang¡¯s civil and military officials to discuss matters.

    At this time, Liu Biao's old face had a rare look of vitality. Kuai Yue and others secretly realized that Liu Biao seemed to have encountered something worthy of happiness.

    Looking around at the officials in front of the hall, Liu Biao raised the edict in his hand and said loudly: "Everyone, the imperial court has decreed that I am ordered to send troops from Jingxiang to annihilate the traitor Yan Liang. This is the imperial decree. Please take a look first.  ¡±

    Hearing this, everyone looked slightly shocked and seemed a little surprised.

    Kuai Yue and others were busy circulating the imperial edict to each other, and there was a lot of discussion in the hall.

    After pondering for a moment, Kuai Yue took the lead and said: "This imperial edict is probably because Duke Cao is afraid that Yan Liang will threaten Chang'an and wants to use our hands to get rid of it. After Yan Liang defeated Yuan Tan, the number of troops increased greatly and morale was high.  The subordinates thought it was not appropriate to confront him at this time.¡±

    As soon as Kuai Yue said this, Cai Mao and other civil and military officials all agreed.

    "It's no wonder that Liu Biao's men have been frightened by Yan Liang after their previous defeats. Once the war breaks out, who would dare to offend Yan Liang, this ferocious "beast".

    Even Kuai Yue would have a lingering fear when mentioning Yan Liang.

    However, Liu Biao looked calm. His face was as calm as water, as if he was confident.

    After hearing the timid remarks of his subordinates, Liu Biao took out another piece of silk and said with a smile: "This is Cao Mengde's personal letter to me. After you read this letter, your attitude may change a lot."  different."

    Everyone was suspicious and circulated the so-called letter written by Cao Cao.

    When they read the contents of the letter, they all showed excitement and surprise.

    "Cao Gong has persuaded Ma Teng to lead 40,000 Xiliang troops to attack Nanyang. He asked us to wait until we lead the army to capture Jue Yanliang and then work together to wipe it out!"

    Kuai Yue could not suppress his surprise and blurted out.

    After hearing the news, the entire lobby suddenly exploded. The originally conservative Jingxiang officials immediately changed their attitudes and became excited.

    "If 40,000 Xiliang troops really invade Nanyang, Yan Liang is no match for him. Lord, this is a good time for us to use all our troops to regain the lost ground and avenge our previous humiliation."

    "Xiliang has many soldiers and strong fighting power. Yan Liang will definitely resist with all his strength. The new field will be empty by then, which is a good opportunity for us to seize."

    Everyone was eager to give it a try and fell to the side of the main war faction.

    Cai Hao even said with emotion: "My lord, I am willing to lead the army to conquer Yan Liang, my lord, to avenge our previous humiliation in Jingxiang."

    Facing the impassioned expressions of his subordinates, Liu Biao's old face showed relief, and he secretly bit his loose teeth, his long-suppressed resentment quietly gushing out.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????:????? A noble and famous man with eight horses, who commanded millions of people in Jingxiang, was forced to humiliate himself for a pawn like Yan Liang. How could he not hold a grudge against such a humiliation?

    In Liu Biao's opinion, now is his chance to take revenge.

    However, Liu Biao was not in a hurry to make a decision, but turned his attention to Kuai Yue, "Xidu, everyone is asking for a fight. Do you think I should send troops?"

    After a moment of silence, Kuai Yue said: "If it is true that the Xiliang army attacked Yan Liang, this is really a perfect opportunity for us to wipe out Yan Liang and regain the lost ground."

    "Quai Yue's words mean that he also agrees with war.

    With the approval of the chief adviser, Liu Biao's confidence greatly increased, and pride appeared on his calm face.

       Snapped!

    Liu Biao stood up, slapped the case, and said excitedly: "Yan Liang's dog thief invaded our state, which is really hateful. I am determined to follow the imperial decree and wipe out this thief. Degui, I will order you to assemble an army of fifty thousand. When the time comes,  , will send troops to attack Xinye soon."

    "Promise, my subordinates will live up to their orders."

    When Cai Mao accepted the order, he was extremely excited. When he thought about being able to avenge Yan Liang's trick, he was so excited that he wanted to send troops immediately.

    Liu Biao, who boldly gave the order, looked far away to the north, a slight sneer flashed across the corner of his mouth, and murmured: "Yan Liang, you, a despicable warrior, have humiliated each other many times, this time I will definitely repay you!"

    ? ######

    Xinye City, Prefect¡¯s Mansion.

    The originally relaxed atmosphere soon became heavy.

    Xu You¡¯s Siwen Cao Xizuo, who was closely stationed in Xiangyang, immediately sent the latest information to Xinye.

    The troops in Jingzhou were gathering towards Fancheng, and even some of the troops stationed in Jiangling were ordered to move towards Xiangfan by waterway.

    There are various signs that Liu Biao is mobilizing an army of about 50,000 people to the north. It is self-evident who such a huge army should be used to deal with.

    Not only the news coming from the direction of Xiangyang, but also from Runan also made Yan Liang feel a little uneasy.

    Zhang He's troops, who were ordered by Yuan Shao to go south to capture Runan, are currently advancing westward from Runan, approaching Xinye.

    Zhang He¡¯s troops had about 10,000 troops, in the name of assisting Yan Liang to deal with the Xiliang army¡¯s attack, but Yan Liang knew that Zhang He¡¯s actual purpose was to take advantage of the situation to plot against Xinye.

    This series of information made Yan Liang feel the seriousness of the situation even more.

    Liu Biao has 50,000 soldiers and horses, Ma Teng's five Xiliang troops have 40,000 infantry and cavalry, plus the 10,000 Yuan troops who are eyeing him, he will face an encirclement of nearly 100,000 enemies.

    Although these 100,000 enemies have their own agenda and are not subordinate to each other, their absolute superiority in military strength is enough to make Yan Liang breathless.

    At this time, Yan Liang couldn't help but realize that he was facing an unprecedented crisis.

    What he had to do was to use Nanyang County and 20,000 troops to fight against the powerful princes from three parties and defeat 100,000 enemies.

    As the news spread, everyone in Xinye suddenly fell into tension.

    "Have you heard that the Xiliang Army and Liuzhou Mu are coming to attack Xinye? General Yan will definitely not be able to get over this hurdle this time."

    "General Yan is very tight. Didn't he repulse the previous enemy attacks?"

    "That's right in front of us. It is said that there are hundreds of thousands of enemies this time. Even if General Yan Liang has three heads and six arms, he will definitely be defeated."

    "Hundreds of thousands of enemies are frightening to death. If this happens, General Yan will definitely have no chance of winning, and we, Xinye, will not suffer."

    "Yes, so we have to leave the city quickly and find a way to avoid it."

    ¡­¡­

    Rumors of a powerful enemy were spreading in the streets and alleys. The new wild people who had just established confidence in Yan Liang were also shaken at this time. Many people began to leave the city with their families and plan to take refuge in the countryside.

    In the lobby, Yan Liang was as calm as water, closing his eyes and listening to the unfavorable news from various counties.

    Not only Xinye, but also other counties in Nanyang all panicked.

    "General, the enemy is approaching, the people's morale is in chaos, and the situation is very unfavorable for us."

    Even Man Chong, who had always been calm, became anxious at this time.

    There was no trace of anxiety in Yan Liang's heart, but he knew deeply that at this critical moment, as the lord, he must show extraordinary courage, otherwise how could he subdue the fear of his subordinates.

    He took a deep breath and slowly opened his eyes, a bit of disdain flowing in his cold eyes.

    Looking around at the anxious faces under the seats, Yan Liang only sneered and said lightly: "We are not at the end of the road yet, so there is nothing to panic about. As long as you all stick to your duties, we will take care of ourselves."  The enemy¡¯s methods.¡±
