Within a few days, there was constant bad news, and Yuan Tan had already become a frightened bird. The combat power of the Yang family army was too strong, and it was simply a destructive force, not giving Yuan Tan any time to react.

In desperation, Xin Ping suggested: "Lord, the Yang family army is powerful, not the enemy of our army. If you are in the lower side, you should ask for foreign aid!"

Yuan Tan smiled bitterly and said, "Where are you going to invite foreign aid in this Hebei area now? Is Gongsun Du from Xiangping?"

Xin Ping shook his head and replied: "No!"

Yuan Tan was stunned by Xin Ping's words and asked immediately: "Zhongzhi, I was confused by your words!"

Xin Ping smiled and said, "Only Gongsun Du's family can't resist the offensive of the Yang family army. But, lord, have you forgotten how our army took Youzhou in the first place?"

Speaking of this, Xin Ping stopped talking, but his expression was undoubtedly telling Yuan Tan what he thought at this moment.

"What?"

Yuan Tan was shocked when he heard this and asked with a look of surprise: "Did you ask me to join the Wuyuan people? But..."

Xin Ping nodded and replied, "Yes, when the First Lord was in power, he had given a lot of rewards to the leaders of various Wuyuan tribes. Lord, you can take Youzhou, the Wuyuan people have also made a lot of efforts. Moreover, the Wuyuan lieutenant Yan Rou has always been kind to the Wuyuan people. This person is a person who values ​​love and righteousness. He has received kindness from the First Lord. As long as you send a letter to Yan Rou, he will talk to the Nanlou tribe of Shanggu County and ask him to send troops to help. There are also Qiu Liju, who is entrenched in Liaoxi County. He has tens of thousands of people under his command. Lord, why not send envoys to lobby Qiu Liju, let him go west and jointly wipe out the Yang family army with our army?"

Han Heng was shocked when he heard this and urgently advised: "My lord, it must not be. This matter must not be done! Now our army has less than 30,000 people, and the number of people in these two tribes is even greater than that of our army. If they are led as foreign aid, even if they defeat the Yang family army, they will be in a state of great strength. At that time, will you be the lord, or the Wuyuan people be the leader? If they want to replace it, how should our army deal with it? If they are not careful, they will become treasonous thieves in the people's words! As the saying goes, if they are not of our race, their hearts will be different. How can those wild and difficult-to-tactic barbarians give up this great opportunity and return to their homeland where they are suffering again?"

"Hmph!" Yuan Tan's face was quite cold. If Han Heng and others had not asked him to send troops to rescue Dai County at first, Yuan Tan had wasted a lot of time on this matter, then his plan to siege had long been used by Yang Fan. Now, he has been siegeing Lu Bu but has failed. At this critical moment, Han Heng still had to obstruct him, which really made Yuan Tan feel disgusted. His original appreciation of Han Heng became his current hatred.

Yuan Tan said coldly: "If it weren't for your Han Zipei's dissuasion, I would have been sieging Yang Fan in front of Wu Ruan Pass, how could I have suffered a defeat in Zhuo County today? Now, you still don't repent and stop them again. You said, "If I don't let this general unite the Wuyuan people, what method can I defeat the enemy? If you have a method, then I will not join forces with the Wuyuan people! If not, I will not speak loudly here!"

Han Heng advised hard: "Lord! The main forces of the Yang family army are now in Youzhou. Our army can contact Cao Cao in Yanzhou to attack Jizhou and attract the attention of the Yang family army! At that time, our army will take the opportunity to retake Zhuo County again!"

Xin Ping sneered: "It sounds nice. This place is thousands of miles away from Yanzhou. Even if Cao Cao agreed to send troops, it would be a few months later. Can our army still last until that time? Moreover, when the Yang family army attacked Jizhou, Cao Cao led his troops across the Yellow River to the north. He was driven back by Yang Fan. In Luoyang City, there are tens of thousands of soldiers from Huang Zhong stationed. How could Cao Cao send troops to help our army!"

Han Heng defended: "The Wuyuan people are alien races, how can our army lead wolves into the house? Brother Zhongzhi, aren't you afraid of being scolded by the world?"

Xin Ping's eyes flashed with a cold light and he sneered: "It's time for life and death, why should you care about your reputation? If you can't resist the attack of the Yang family army, our army is about to be destroyed, and the weapons of others are pointing at the tip of our noses. Who cares so much? In the opinion of the lower part, defeat the Yang family army first!"

Yuan Tan was also hesitant at first. After all, the Wuyuan people were foreign tribes and often invaded border areas and had a bloody hatred with the soldiers and civilians of Youzhou. If they were allowed to enter the country rashly, they might cause mutiny in the army and rebellion among the people. However, after hearing Xin Ping's words, Yuan Tan also felt that this was reasonable. After all, they all came to this time, and they should save their lives first. Who would care so much and think so much, and defeat the Yang family army first.

At this moment, Yuan Tan gritted his teeth and said, "What Zhongzhi said is right. At this critical moment, our army will introduce foreign aid. Our army has always been kind to the people of Wuyuan. We should lead them into the country and expel the Yang family army for our army. After the Yang family army retreats, it is not too late to talk about the rest!"

In the end, Yuan Tan adopted Xin Ping's suggestion and sent messengers to Yan Rou and Qiu Liju respectively to reveal to him that Yuan Tan was interested in joining him. At the same time, he sent envoys to various vassal territories to discuss alliances, intending to find a needle in a haystack.

Because of Yan Zhi, Yan Rou chose to surrender to Yang Fan, and Yang Fan's promise was hard to refuse. After a brief consultation, Nanlou decided to send 20,000 troops to support Yang Fan in unification of Youzhou. Qiu Liju of Liaoxi County also coveted the rich Han area for a long time and agreed to Yuan Tan's alliance, sent troops westward, crossed the Great Wall, and rushed towards Ji County.

However, at this moment, Yan Rou received a letter from Yuan Tan. After Yang Fan learned about it, he decided to use the trick and first let the 20,000 cavalry of the Nanlou tribe rush to Jixian, pretending to form an alliance with Yuan Tan. When the two armies were fighting, they would turn against each other and catch Yuan Tan off guard.

The actions of Yuan Tan and the Wuyuan people also made Yang Fan feel murderous. After all, the Five Barbarians invaded China were a shame for the Jin Dynasty and the Han people. Such a traitor who treasoned the country was killed.

With the dispersed wind of Diting Camp, the people in Youzhou all knew that Yuan Tan led Wuyuan people as foreign aid and entered the territory of Youzhou to resist the imperial heavenly army. The people suddenly fell to Yang Fan. Even some aristocratic families saw the clues and stayed in the door and stopped funding Yuan Tan to expand his army, and chose to draw a clear line with Yuan Tan.

Rumors were also flying in the Yuan army, resulting in unstable morale and unstable morale.

At this time, Yuan Tan was at the forefront of public opinion. On one hand, he was criticized by the world and withdrawn from his allies, leaving him in an isolated and helpless situation, just like a gambler on the gambling table. After losing his eyes, he tried his best to use all the resources he could use to make a comeback.

Yuan Tan also knew that at this time he had no way out. He either defeated Yang Fan and rewrite history with the attitude of a victor, or fell into the bottomless abyss, and left his name on the pillar of shame from then on.

Cao Cao had the intention to get involved in Jizhou, but after Yuan Tan let the Wuyuan people enter the pass, he no longer dared to act rashly, for fear of getting angry.

On this day, Xu County was in the city.

After listening to the spy's report, Cao Cao almost fainted from anger. Then he cursed: "Yuan Tan, that fool, I thought Yuan Shao was stupid enough, but I didn't expect that his son was stupid than him! I still have the will to save him. Now it seems that this boy from the Yuan family is just digging his own grave and destroying himself!"

Liu Ye was worried and said, "Lord, Yuan Tan's defeat has become a fact. Yang Biqi is about to unify the north. Our army should make arrangements early and plan for Jingzhou!"

"Oh!" Cao Cao sighed, "Liu Bei's ungrateful wolf is now in Jingzhou. Sun Ce is also sharpening his sword in Jiangdong. If our army takes Jingzhou west, it may be taken advantage of the situation!"

Liu Ye smiled and said, "Then lord, why don't you make an appointment with Sun Ce to attack Jingzhou together? Liu Biao and Sun Ce have a grudge against killing their father. If you send an envoy to lobby, Sun Ce will have no reason to refuse!"

"Haha!" Cao Cao's eyes flashed with a hint of spirit, and he cursed with a smile: "This is so strange. What are you thinking? How come you, Liu Ziyang, know everything? Do you have the ability to read your mind?"
