Cao Cao in Xiangxian County was indeed very melancholy. Cao Cao had great ambitions for Xuzhou. Therefore, after failing to fight Yang Rui with Lu Bu, Cao Cao still had a lucky chance and wanted to stay and get a share of the pie.

Overall, Yang Rui still has nearly one million troops, and only surrounded Xiangxian County and the county seat, so it is still a problem to deal with Cao Cao's surprise attack.

At the same time, Yang Rui has the City of Sky, and can almost control any abnormal movements of Cao Cao's guarding city members in the county town of Xiangxian County. Once Cao Cao's troops have any abnormal actions, Yang Rui can discover them in time through the City of Sky. He will hardly give the other party the possibility of raiding from a certain city gate.

Moreover, Yang Rui was not worried that Cao Cao's troops would escape from the west gate. What he wanted was the other party to become desperate and slip away. At that time, Yang Rui's use of military strength and morale advantages must have been much easier than a direct conflict with Cao Cao's troops.

Otherwise, Yang Rui spent some time using various siege equipment to directly flatten the city walls of Xiangxian County and face the battle head-on. However, if Cao Cao's troops retreated, the resistance they inspires would definitely be greater!

Yang Rui slowly attacked the city until the afternoon of the second day. Pengcheng sent a courier to Yuan Shu and Sun Jian's troops to ask for Yang Rui. He thought he had learned about the situation in Xiangxian County, but he didn't know the specific purpose of the messenger.

"Yang Hong, the envoy of the Lord of Yuan Shuzhou, pay homage to the Lord of Lieyangzhou!"

The visitor dressed as a Confucian scholar and bowed to Yang Rui to politely.

Yang Rui looked at him and saw that this man was so tall and elegant, and he was very elegant. He listened to his own introduction. He was Yang Hong, a famous general of Yuan Shu in historical facts.

Yuan Shu has an extraordinary background, but the talents he has attracted are one level worse than Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others. There are only a few who can show off.

At the same time, Yuan Shu's power did not last too long, so most of his generals were not very familiar to others.

However, according to historical records, it was Yang Hong, the chief secretary of Yuan Shu who suggested that Yuan Shu be attacked Xuzhou and prevented Yuan Shu from becoming emperor. It can be seen that this person is still very extraordinary, and Yang Rui has a good understanding of him.

It is just that the image of Yan Xiang is highlighted in the Romance, and the act of admonishing Yuan Shu to be emperor was placed on Yan Xiang, and the role of Yang Hong was not mentioned.

Of course, as Yuan Shu's chief clerk, Yan Xiang did not dare to make a judgment too arbitrary because she had never been in contact with her.

"Yang Hong, the Chief Secretary, does not need to be too polite. I have heard that the Chief Secretary, has been famous for a long time. I have always known that the Chief Secretary, is well-known and talented. I only regret that I have no chance to visit each other. Please sit down quickly. Please sit down quickly. Today, I will definitely treat the Chief Secretary, and I will not return without getting drunk..."

Yang Rui once came to Yuan Shu when he was filial and honest. However, Yang Hong was not among his group of civil and military officials at that time. This was the first time Yang Rui saw Yang Hong.

When facing Yang Hong, Yang Rui showed great enthusiasm. It made people feel that it was not because he was Yuan Shu's chief minister, but rather that he was more inclined to appreciate Yang Hong's personal abilities.

After hearing Yang Rui's words, Yang Hong also saw Yang Rui's indifferent physical movements, and his feelings for Yang Rui were greatly improved.

"Thank you for your appreciation from Lord Zhou Mu. Hong is here to contact Lord Lieyang Prefecture for Lord Zhou Mu. I hope Lord Zhou Mu can send siege equipment to help Lord Zhou and Governor Sun Jian attack Pengcheng......"

Although Yang Rui was treated very well, Yang Hong never forgot the purpose of coming here. When he sat down at Yang Rui's invitation, he immediately spoke up and told the mission.

Yang Hong's performance also made Yang Rui nod secretly. Before Yang Hong spoke, Yang Rui had probably guessed that the purpose of this was probably to ask for help, so he did not take the initiative to move closer to the right point, but just to the left and right other things.

Yang Hong was able to identify this point and at the same time concisely expressed his intention to Yang Rui clearly. Even if it was contrary to the current atmosphere, it can be seen that Yang Hong is also a person who can distinguish between importance and excellence.

"Shi Shi Yang Hong also saw that I was attacking Cao Cao at this county town, but it was difficult to advance. How could I use my spare time to help your lord and Sun Jian?"

Faced with Yang Hong's question, Yang Rui answered in embarrassment.

It is not a bad thing for Yang Rui to confront each other for a while. After all, whether it is Yuan Shu, Sun Jian or Liu Bei, even if it is not as urgent as Cao Cao, it is actually a potential threat and opponent from Yang Rui's power, so Yang Rui is naturally happy to watch them fight.

"Mr. Lieyangzhou, since it is difficult to get out of the city in Xiangxian County, it is better to join forces with us and give priority to capturing Pengcheng.

This time, my lord and General Sun Jian sent troops to Xuzhou, and what he did was to help Lord Mu of Lieyangzhou come. Therefore, if he could conquer Pengcheng, Lord Sun Jian would naturally invite Lord Mu of Zhou to take charge of Xuzhou.

Yang Hong is here to convey the words of my lord. After Pengcheng is captured, he is willing to divide the state of Xuzhou with Lord Zhou Mu and govern it. I hope Lord Zhou Mu can respond…”

Following Yang Rui's words, Yang Hong's eyes turned and expressed his intentions in full.
