The Three Kingdoms started from fooling Jia Xu

Chapter 249 Relying on talent, Xu You, mediocre master Yuan Shao

Yingchuan, Xuchang.

After a night of hustle and bustle, Xuchang ushered in the dawn, but the stench was everywhere in the streets and alleys, which also cast a shadow over the people in the city.

Many aristocratic family members have a little bit of information about what happened last night. Of course, the civil and military officials are more confused and don't know what happened.

I vaguely heard the news that the uncle of the dynasty rebelled against Cao Cao and took the emperor away. The specific situation was unknown to everyone, and they could only wait anxiously.

At this time, in the mansion.

Man Chong looked at Xun Yu with a guilty expression, bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, I am incompetent and let the emperor escape, but this time Jingzhou sent people to welcome the emperor away."

Hearing the news, Xun Yu's pupils shrank suddenly, his body trembled uncontrollably, and the five fingers holding the scroll turned white with anger.

After a long time, he breathed a sigh of relief.

He was disloyal to Liu Xie, but he recognized the Han Dynasty, or he wanted to keep the last fig leaf of the Han Dynasty, but now Zhang Xiu actually welcomed the emperor away.

This was completely beyond his expectation.

I'm afraid that Dong Cheng's rebellion was caused by Zhang Xiu, otherwise how could his soldiers appear in the south of Xuchang so quickly?Obviously he was unwilling to be mediocre after winning Yangzhou!

But in any case, it is difficult for the emperor to lose him, and it will deal a huge blow to Cao Cao, and it will even affect Cao Cao's subordinate Yuan Shao, thus shrinking Xuzhou's plan.

Moreover, after the emperor arrived in Jingzhou, it was Zhang Xiu who obeyed the emperor's orders not to be ministers, not Cao Cao. If Zhang Xiu was cheaper, everyone would call and beat Cao Cao for his evil deeds.

Seeing Xun Yu's deep eyes with a slightly pained look, Man Chong bowed his head and said in a deep voice: "The emperor absconded because it was not good for me to protect me. I would like to apologize for my crime."

"Okay, you and I are both responsible for this matter. As for how to deal with it, it's up to the lord!" Xun Yu waved his hand and said sadly, "I will write two letters later, and you will send someone to send them to Yuan Shao in Jizhou, and the lord."

"No!" Man Chong bowed his head.

"Retire, and summon all the officials in the city for me. The relocation of the autumn harvest can't wait any longer." Xun Yu breathed out, and the relocation was imminent.

Xuchang has no emperor,

Then there is no need to stay behind.

"No!" Man Chong responded and retreated.

…………

At the same time,

Jizhou, Yecheng.

General's Mansion, green tiles and vermilion eaves.

Looking around, it is magnificent and magnificent, and this is also the most prosperous capital city in the north, Ye.

Ye is the core of the four northern states, and it is also Yuan Shao's old nest. Although Yuan Shao's character is flawed, the people under his rule are relatively prosperous, and they will not be hungry.

What's more, Ye is still an important economic center.

At this time, Yecheng General's Mansion.

Yuan Shao was in the first place, with a dignified appearance and a tall and straight figure, he was many times more handsome than Yuan Shu in his early years. At this time, he was holding a letter and reading it.

"Hehe, good, good!"

Seeing Yuan Shao stroking his beard and laughing loudly, all the civil and military men were taken aback.

Xu You narrowed his eyes slightly, Yuan Shao was in a good mood, he naturally had to agree, and immediately said, "My lord, why are you laughing?"

Yuan Shao handed the letter out, and at the same time he said angrily: "God bless me, Yuan Shao, my stubborn friend Cao Cao even sent someone to write to me, saying that he has no intention of dominating the world, and would like to be subordinate to me and separate Xuzhou Take care of your life."

"In addition, he also said in his letter that he is willing to hand over the emperor and voluntarily surrender Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Luoyang and other places. Isn't this worthy of celebration?"

The words came out, and there was silence in the hall.

All Wenwu showed disbelieving expressions.

They never expected that Cao Cao, a generation of heroes, would surrender without a fight, and was willing to cede the land and the emperor of the two states, how tempting it is?
Seeing everyone's expressions, Yuan Shao was quite satisfied, and said loudly: "Cao Aman surrendered, what do you think?"

Everyone looked at each other, Tian Feng took the lead and said: "My lord, Cao Cao is as cunning as a fox, how could he surrender so easily? I think there must be a conspiracy in it. My lord, I should be clear about it, and I must not lose my mind because of small profits."

Hearing Tian Feng's words, Yuan Shao's original joyful mood was instantly shattered, and he really had a way of being forced to speak, and he couldn't help but said in a deep voice with a dark face: "Cao Cao and I are old friends from the past, what's wrong with me if they don't take refuge in what they see? ?”

"My lord, Cao Cao is treacherous, don't be short-witted." Tian Feng looked anxious, and his words were straightforward, without giving Yuan Shao any face.

Doesn’t the implication of this sentence mean that as long as Yuan Shao agrees, it means that he is an idiot?
Ju Shou frowned slightly, he was also speechless to his friend, he had persuaded Tian Feng many times, but he thought that this kind of personality was very good, Yuan Shao just didn't like him at that time.

After exhaling, Ju Shou stepped forward, and said in a deep voice, "Yuan Hao doesn't need to get excited."

"Master, although what Yuan Hao said is biased, it is not unreasonable. Cao Cao has always been known as a traitor, but he has been defeated by Zhang Xiu many times. I think he is not willing to do so. And the lord is about to occupy several states in Hebei. Next The first to bear the brunt is Cao Cao of the Central Plains."

"If the prediction is correct, Cao Cao must have known that the lord is about to send troops to the Central Plains, and he is going to devour the whole country, so he resorted to this strategy of retreating to advance. The purpose is to let the lord relax his vigilance, so that he will kill him with one blow and severely injure the lord. "

"Therefore, I believe that it is necessary to guard against it.

When the language falls, everyone discusses it.

It has to be said that Jushou's analysis is not without reason, so that everyone nods and discusses.

As for Yuan Shao himself, he frowned slightly. If Tian Feng's words made him angry before, then Ju Shou's words were like enlightenment, which woke him up.

Because Cao Cao cheated him since he was a child.

However, this time.

Xu You, who was silent for a long time, smiled lightly and stroked his beard, and said loudly and contemptuously: "It's ridiculous, it's really ridiculous."

"In my opinion, Xu You, Cao Mengde is far from being so powerful. On the contrary, some people's ignorance and timidity contributed to Cao Mengde's strength."

When Xu You spoke, everyone was displeased.

There are many factions under Yuan Shao, such as Nanyang faction, Yingchuan faction, Jizhou faction, etc., but Xu You is the only one who works alone. In other words, he disdains to be with this group of people.

"Hmph, good Xu You, how dare you speak so boldly." Tian Feng wanted to argue with his cheeks red.

Xu You didn't pay any attention to this person, but looked up at Yuan Shao with arrogance, and said logically: "Master, Cao Cao defeated Zhang Xiu three times, it is no longer a good thing, not to mention Yanzhou and Yuzhou are broken, how can he fight against the lord?" ?”

"What's more, if my predictions are correct, Cao Cao should be fighting Liu Bei in Tongguan right now? Could it be that he was thinking about designing the lord while fighting? I'm afraid this letter was written by Xun Yu."

"Thinking about it, Cao Cao's victory or defeat has been decided, and the reason why Xun Yu wrote the letter was to leave a way out. Among them, Xuzhou is relatively rich, and Xun Yu ceded the two prefectures of Yan and Yu, mainly to let the lord enter the Central Plains, and Zhang Xiu, Liu Bei and others are competing for the world, so he can take the opportunity to recuperate."

"Because Cao Mengde knows that with his strength, he will perish in the Central Plains sooner or later, so he resorted to this trick of a strong man cutting his arms. He wanted to rely on his relationship with the lord to seek the lord's protection, that's all."

After Xu You finished speaking, he stroked his beard and turned his head, looking down upon the audience.

That look, that expression, the look of you garbage, who can't understand something so simple, is very annoying.

Yuan Shao's eyes were suspicious, and he fell into deep thought. What Xu You said was right. At this time, Cao Cao really couldn't wrestle with him. The gap in strength was nearly five times, and he couldn't beat him at all. This was in line with what Xu You said.

"According to what Ziyuan said, should I agree or not?" Yuan Shao raised his eyebrows and looked at Xu You, intending to ask for advice.

"Hehe, my lord will naturally accept the Son of Heaven and the land of the two prefectures given away for free. But before you do so, let Cao Cao send the Son of Heaven to Yedu. When the time comes, you will be the one who obeys the Son of Heaven's order and refuses to be a minister."

"What's more, the lord is the direct son of the Yuan family, four generations and three lords, and his disciples and old officials are all over the world. How many people in the world want to join the lord's tent? If Cao Cao really has evil intentions, he will only shoot himself in the foot."

"At that time, my lord can turn against the guests and issue the emperor's edict, ordering the princes of the world to attack Cao Cao and take down the six counties of Xuzhou in one fell swoop."

"If Cao Cao sincerely seeks refuge, he will not be able to do so safely. When the Lord wants to attack Zhang Xiu, Cao Cao can lead his troops to attack Hefei, Shouchun and other places. This will relieve the pressure on the Lord and dominate the south of the Yangtze River."

Xu You talked for a long time, quite complacent.

"Haha, okay, Ziyuan is indeed my right-hand man. This opinion really hits the nail on the head. Appreciate it." Yuan Shao laughed heartily. Xu You said that he was too comfortable. This time, he not only calculated others, but also benefited himself .

"My lord, what Xu You said is too idealistic, isn't it? Cao Cao is known to be cunning, but Xu You has become an ignorant person. Don't you think it's suspicious, my lord?"

"And as far as I know, Xu You and that Cao Cao were friends when they were young, and the two of them had a lot of correspondence. I'm afraid that someone underestimated Cao Cao in order to confuse the public and confuse the lord's eyes. This is an unforgivable crime."

Guo Tu had a sarcasm on his face, pinching his little tuft of goatee, showing what are you pretending to be, but more like saying, fighting with me, you are still young.

"Guo Tu, you, you actually maliciously slandered me." Xu You frowned, a little annoyed, and quickly turned to look at Yuan Shao, and said eagerly: "Master, I have no correspondence with that thief Cao, it is that villain Guo Tu Slander me."

"Hehe, Xu You, you keep saying that I slandered you, so how dare you ask what is your relationship with that Cao Cao?" Guo Tu said with a cold snort.

Xu You's eyes were dark and angry, but he still said: "My lord, I did know Cao Cao when I was young, but I, Xu You, have never had any contact with Cao Cao since I joined the lord, and I hope the lord will learn from you. "

"That's enough, step back. I'll find out right from wrong. Xu You, if you have a clear conscience, you're not afraid." Yuan Shao shook his sleeves, very displeased.

Originally, he was still very optimistic about Xu You, but suddenly he became disgusted. If Xu You really had something to do with Cao Cao, then he really had to redefine this matter.

"My lord, my lord," Xu You called out in fear.

The feeling of being wronged while stepping on a horse is too uncomfortable, especially because Yuan Shao doesn't believe him at all, which makes him extremely painful and inexplicably angry.

"Okay, let's all back down," Yuan Shao didn't listen to the excuse, shook his sleeves and drank again, and then he grabbed the documents next to him and read them there, ignoring him at all.

Everyone knew that Yuan Shao was in a fit of anger, and no one tried to persuade them, they retreated one after another.Ju Shou frowned slightly, but he didn't say much. In fact, he knew that although Xu You was arrogant, what he said just now was not nonsense.

"Ah! The lord's infighting is getting more and more serious, but the lord doesn't care about it." Ju Shou sighed softly, he saw all these things in his eyes.

It may seem nothing to outsiders, but he knows that the conflict of interests will lead to disaster sooner or later.

Xu You stared at Yuan Shao closely for a long time, he was a little annoyed, threw up his sleeves and left straight away, leaving the general's mansion, Xu You was a little annoyed, "Yongzhu, Yongzhu!"

"Xu You, my lord, sometimes he can be considered righteous, let's wait for him to calm down." The speaker was the judge, who belonged to the Jizhou faction, but he was quite upright.

It is also rare to be loyal to Yuan Shao.

In later generations, he would rather die than surrender, and it is admirable to stick to Yecheng. However, something happened to his family and he surrendered Cao Cao, which led to the fall of Yecheng.

Xu You shook his head and sneered, and left.

…………

A few days later, outside Tongguan.

Tongguan has experienced several days of bloodbath, and it is already on the verge of collapse, especially because Liu Bei's subordinates are short of food. In order to be able to carry it through, he slaughtered many war horses.

Because of this, Cao Cao was struggling to support.

At this time, under Tongguan City.

Immediately after Jueying, Cao Cao wore a robe and armor with a solemn expression. He ordered Cao Ren to lead the army to attack the city, but the three armies were exhausted and had little effect.

At this time, a fast horse came galloping.

"Report~, to report to my lord, there is an urgent item from Xuchang, and my lord needs to personally sign it." Kuaiqi handed out the bamboo tube containing the envelope with a dignified expression.

Cao Cao frowned slightly, feeling a little uneasy in his heart, because there were very few urgent letters from Xuchang, and Xun Yu rarely sent him such letters.

He took the envelope, opened it and examined it.

With one eye and three lines, Cao Cao's pupils gradually turned red and filled with bloodshot eyes, and even protruded faintly, which was frightening.As for his fingers holding the letter, they turned white from excessive force.

The emperor fled Xuchang and was kidnapped by Zhang Xiu.

This is no longer a slap in the face, it is simply a bolt from the blue, what should he do?It will even affect whether he can be attached to Yuan Shao's command.

Seeing Cao Cao's solemn expression, all the generals looked at Cao Cao with curiosity, and they also wanted to know why Cao Cao was doing this.

"Haha, hahahaha, family letter, Mrs. My Nahuan gave birth to a child. The process was a bit dangerous, and I almost didn't save my life. Fortunately, there was no danger."

"Women are troublesome. I thought something big happened in Xuchang even if a trivial matter was urgently reported." Cao Cao told the story while talking and laughing.

After hearing Cao Cao's words, all the generals burst out laughing. It turns out that my lord is also a wife and child, so he is no different from them.

Only, one side.

A trace of suspicion flashed across Xun You's eyebrows, because Cao Cao smiled and said but looked dignified, even a little dazed, apparently unable to bear it.

He decided in his heart that the lord might be hiding something from them, but he was afraid that speaking out would cause panic. After all, this army was Cao Cao's last hope.

If it caused restlessness because of these, and he was defeated by Liu Bei, Cao Cao would really have nothing.

Thinking of this, Xun You clasped his fists and said, "My lord, the battle here is stable, and my wife recently gave birth to a son, so I should comfort her. Why not go back to the camp and write a letter before supervising the battle."
