Can I get to the other side?

"Stop fighting with me here!"

Xu You sneered, with a bad look on his face, "Whether the emperor is true or not, he is just a puppet in Yuan Shao's hands. Will you, Jia Wenhe, be a loyal minister loyal to the emperor?"

Anyone in this world may be a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty.

Yuan Shao is possible, Cao Cao is possible, and even Xu You is possible.

But it’s impossible for Jia Xu alone!

Jia Xu first followed Dong Zhuo, then Li and Guo, and finally Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu's uncle and nephew. The strategy he proposed was full of bad records for the Han Dynasty, far worse than Lu Bu!

Although Lu Bu burned the imperial tomb, he still killed Dong Zhuo and protected the emperor. Only Jia Xu was a rebel from beginning to end, always standing on the opposite side of the emperor.

What's more important is that Jia Xu changed camps several times. He had no loyalty at all and was only interested in profit. This is why he dared to drag Jia Xu to join Cao Cao.

He believed that as long as the benefits were sufficient, it would not be a problem for Jia Xu to defect with him, which would also increase the value of his service.

As a result, Jia Xu now told him to be loyal to the emperor?

It's almost enough to make people laugh out loud!

"Why not?"

Jia Xu looked straight at Xu You and asked, his dark eyes like a deep ancient well, unable to see the bottom, only a deep darkness.

"What you saw is just what I wanted you to see and His Majesty wanted you to see. Do you really think you understand His Majesty and me? Do you really think what you saw and heard is true?"

"Can you tell the difference between what is true and what is false?"

Xu You was so frightened by what Jia Xu said that he couldn't help but take a step back. He suddenly felt that the Jia Xu in front of him was very strange, not at all what he was familiar with before.

Xu You's eyes flickered and he said, "What exactly do you want to say."

Jia Xu's words contained too much information and were full of doubts, but he didn't think Jia Xu would tell him this for no reason.

"I already said it."

After shocking Xu You, Jia Xu calmed down his momentum and said in a calm tone: "My real allegiance is to the emperor, the emperor of Han Dynasty. I am here to recruit you on behalf of the emperor."

"Your Majesty is not just Yuan Shao's puppet as you have seen. All this is just performed by Your Majesty for outsiders to see. Everyone, even me, was deceived by Your Majesty at the beginning."

"Your Majesty, how can you always be held hostage by Yuan thieves when you are trapped in the shallows?"

Jia Xu didn't mince words.

Instead, go straight to the point and get to the point.

The trump card was revealed at the beginning.

Xu You was stunned for a while, and then he said with some disbelief: "You mean that His Majesty has been lying low and hiding his power?"

Xu You felt like he was following this story. How could that cowardly emperor be so courageous?

"That's right." Jia Xu nodded and said with a solemn face: "Your Majesty is a heroic lord. He has the opportunity of the universe and the will of heaven and earth in his heart. He treats the virtuous and virtuous corporal and only uses his talents. He is a rare wise lord! "

"Whether Ziyuan follows Yuan Shao or Cao Cao, you will only be called a traitor in the history books from now on. The only way is to surrender to His Majesty and help His Majesty regain the Han Dynasty!"

Xu You's mind immediately pictured Liu Xie crying in the hall and in front of Yuan Shao.

But at the same time, I couldn't help but think of the majesty of the emperor displayed when Kong Rong came to the audience that day.

Could it be that... His Majesty is really forbearing?

Even Yuan Shao was deceived?

Thinking of this, Xu You suddenly felt a chill on his back. If this was really the case, then the emperor's scheming would be too deep.

How could he be so forbearing!

And fooled everyone!

Xu You's scalp was numb, and he suppressed the turbulent emotions in his heart, and asked: "Even if the emperor is a rare hero, he can only be controlled by Yuan Shao in Ye City, so what kind of trouble can he cause?"

"I have decided to defect to Cao Cao. Now that you know my plan, I will give up defrauding the imperial seal. I will not tell outsiders about the emperor's affairs, and you should not interfere with my defection to Cao Cao. In this way, both of you and I There is still a sense of friendship.”

By now, everything has been said.

Xu You knew that it was impossible to win over Jia Xu to join Cao Cao, nor was it possible to defraud the imperial seal, so he gave up the idea directly.

Good to get together and good to go.

He was not afraid that Jia Xu would report him to Yuan Shao, because when Jia Xu told these secrets about the emperor, he also had something to do with Jia Xu.

"Zi Yuan's words are too arbitrary."

Jia Xu seemed to be confident and not anxious at all. He smiled slightly and said: "If I were not completely sure, how could I have been close to Ziyuan in the past two months and comfort you every day? How could I take the initiative to expose the emperor's secret today? "

"It is precisely because Ziyuan is worth winning over and can be won over that I will do this."

really……

Xu You sighed in his heart. He hadn't noticed it before, but looking back now, he found that the relationship between him and Jia Xu during this period was indeed abnormally fast.

It turns out that everything was done intentionally by Jia Xu.

"I advise you to give up this idea as soon as possible." Xu You looked up at Jia Xu and said coldly: "I want to betray Yuan and surrender to Cao, but I will not choose to be loyal to the emperor. To be disrespectful, the emperor has What is worthy of my allegiance?"

"Get rid of Yuan Shao's hostage? It's simply a foolish dream!"

The title of emperor cannot make him sacrifice his life, not to mention that the identity of this emperor is still unknown. What if the one on Cao Cao's side is the real one?

As for getting rid of Yuan Shao's threat, just listen to it.

"Idiots are talking about dreams?" Jia Xu immediately sneered when he heard this, and said leisurely: "Your Majesty, you have Duke Wen and Jingzhou Muxiao fighting for their lives, and there are also the world's richest businessman Zhen and the Mi family, the richest man in Xuzhou, who are trying their best to help;

Guo Jia and I were in charge, secretly instigating Yuan Shao's sons and brothers to rebel against each other. Two generals, Zhang He and Gao Lan, joined us, and a thousand imperial guards in the palace were under control. "

"Although Your Majesty is relegated to the palace, you are still hiding behind the scenes. You have put your knife to Yuan Shao's heart. You can even lead the troops to kill him immediately!"

"The reason why we are not doing this now is just because we are concerned about Yuan Shao's reputation and the Yuan family's power, and want to gradually disintegrate and erode Yuan Shao's power."

"Yuan Shao's towering tree looks like it has lush branches and leaves, but in fact it is rotten and hollow inside. It will collapse sooner or later. It's ridiculous that he has many capable advisers under his command, but they focus on family interests. They only know how to compete with each other, and no one can do it. Be aware of the danger."

Jia Xu's eyes seemed to be sarcastic and disdainful.

The huge Yuan Group was not noticed by him at all.

"Ziyuan thinks that His Majesty is freed from Yuan Shao's threat, but is this just a dream?"

Silence, long silence.

Xu You's eyes kept changing, not only digesting this shocking news, but also trying to distinguish the truth from Jia Xu's words.

You must know that the emperor only came to Yecheng in the autumn of the year before last, and it was less than two years after all!

But did the emperor accumulate such huge power in such a short period of time under Yuan Shao's nose?

Let's not talk about other things for now. There are only a thousand guards in the palace. If they are really in the hands of the emperor, they can massacre Yuan Shao's entire family in an instant.

Simply incredible!

Xu You was agitated. After pondering for a long time, he said in a deep voice: "How can I trust you?"

He was shaken.

If everything goes as Jia Xu said, that day will be terrible.

With such forbearance and such methods, he is very likely to become the next Emperor Guangwu!

"It doesn't matter whether you believe me or not." Jia Xu smiled and asked Xu You: "Zi Yuan thinks that a person like me who is good at protecting oneself with wisdom and wisdom, why would I be loyal to the emperor? Is it really just out of loyalty to the Han Dynasty?"

Jia Xu has a very clear understanding of himself.

He also knows what he looks like to others.

So he directly used himself as an example.

"you……"

Xu You couldn't find a way to refute.

Words can deceive people, but actions cannot.

Jia Xu surrendered to the emperor, which has explained many things.

If the emperor was really incompetent and had no government or means, given Jia Xu's character, he would probably have fled far away long ago.

"Why does the emperor value me? Although I have followed Yuan Shao for a long time, I am not the one he uses most. Before me, there were four people, Tian Feng, Jushou, Shenpei and Fengji."

Xu You's attitude had quietly changed. He did not reject allegiance to the emperor as before, but instead asked about the doubts in his heart.

Among the many counselors under Yuan Shao's command, he only had the advantage of seniority. However, after taking root in Jizhou, Yuan Shao trusted the counselors of the Jizhou faction more, and it was his turn second.

"There are two reasons." Seeing Xu You's relaxed attitude, Jia Xu secretly thought something big was coming, and then stretched out two fingers and said:

"First, Your Majesty believes that Zi Yuan is extremely talented, but Yuan Shao doesn't recognize talented people and has let his pearl fall into the dust. After learning that Zi Yuan had the idea of ​​abandoning Yuan Toucao, he specially ordered me to come and recruit him."

When Xu You heard this, he couldn't help but touch his beard, a hint of pride flashed in his eyes.

The Son of Heaven is the Son of Heaven, and he really knows people with his wise eyes.

Unlike Yuan Shao, who was dim-sighted and refused to listen to his suggestions many times, preferring to believe in Tian Feng and Ju Sue.

"Second, it is Ziyuan who holds the position of city guard of Yecheng. His majesty's plans for great things in the future will definitely start from Yecheng. Only by firmly grasping the power of city guard can we be foolproof."

City guard, control the garrison of a city.

There are more than 4,000 defenders in Yecheng, responsible for daily city defense, patrolling, maintaining order in the city and other duties.

This position is too important and is related to the safety of Yecheng. Therefore, no matter how much Yuan Shao leaned towards the Jizhou faction, he did not dare to hand over the city guard.

After Gao Gan became the shepherd of Bingzhou, the garrison of Yecheng was divided into four. Among them, the garrison of the east gate fell on Yuan Shao's younger brother Xu You.

"That's it." Xu You suddenly realized after hearing this.

There are four gates in Yecheng, among which the east gate is under Xu You's control. The other three city gates are all guarded by members of the Yuan clan.

If one of the city gates falls into the hands of the emperor, it will be greatly facilitated whether Lu Bu leads an army to attack and open the gate, or whether the emperor escapes from Ye City after the incident.

The smile on Jia Xu's face began to fade. He stared into Xu You's eyes and asked, "I have answered all Ziyuan's questions. It's time for Ziyuan to tell you your answer."

As he spoke, he calmly reached out and touched the depths of his sleeves, holding the touch of coldness.

This was an ultimatum. If Xu You was still unwilling to surrender, he would get rid of him on the spot and report it to Yuan Shao afterwards to avoid future troubles!

"I……"

Faced with this choice presented by Jia Xu again, Xu You's brain was running rapidly, analyzing the situation in front of him.

Cao Cao's power is far inferior to that of Yuan Shao. Once Youzhou is captured, the next step will be Cao Cao's turn.

If you go to join Cao Cao now, your future is uncertain.

He had no choice before, but now he has an additional option for the emperor.

If he was loyal to the emperor and had him, a person close to Yuan Shao, as an internal agent, the emperor would be very likely to escape from the shackles.

Once the emperor got rid of Yuan Shao's hostage, he trapped the dragon and ascended to heaven.

And he will become a minister of Conglong, and his future is bright, including becoming a prince and becoming a prime minister!

After analyzing the pros and cons, Xu You finally made up his mind. He wanted to be granted the title of Marquis and Prime Minister. He wanted to stand in front of Yuan Shao as a winner and let Yuan Shao take a good look at how Xu Ziyuan was inferior to Tian Feng and others. Got it!

He looked at Jia Xu with fixed eyes and said with great solemnity:

"I, Xu Ziyuan, have also contributed and shed blood during the Yellow Turban Rebellion. If it were not for Yuan Shao's coercion, I would not be a rebel. I had no choice before, but now I just want to be a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty and serve His Majesty. "

"good!"

Jia Xu let go of the dagger in his sleeve, the murderous intent in his eyes disappeared, and he showed joy: "Your Majesty will be very happy if you know that your son has returned home!"

"Come on, come on, Ziyuan will follow me to the palace to see His Majesty!"

After that, he took Xu You and went out.

…

royal palace.

Liu Xie had already convinced Er Qiao, and when the three of them slept together in public, Gao Lan reported that Xu You went to the palace to ask for an audience, so he could only hurriedly put on his trousers and rushed to the announcement room.

"Wenhe, Ziyuan!"

Liu Xie was overjoyed when he saw the two people in the propaganda room.

He knew that Xu You had already joined the gang, otherwise Jia Xu would not have brought him over.

With Xu You as an internal agent, if he hadn't coveted Yuan Shao's huge foundation, he could kill Yuan Shao's family in Yecheng if he entered, and escape to Xuzhou when he retreated.

"The guilty minister Xu You, please see your Majesty!"

When Xu You saw Liu Xie coming in, he bowed and paid homage without saying a word.

He buried his head deeply on the ground and cried bitterly: "The guilty minister is stupid and does not know the true face of Yuan Thief. For such a long time, he did not know that Your Majesty was being held hostage by Yuan Thief and has been helping Yuan to commit abuse! Please convict Your Majesty!"

His words were filled with deep regret and self-blame.

I just don’t know if it’s because I’m not confident in my acting skills, so I kept my head buried in the ground.

Looking at Xu You's exaggerated acting skills, as Liu Gong is the best actor of Han Dynasty, of course he has to take the role well.

He stepped forward and helped Xu You up in person, and said with great excitement: "Ai Qing, please get up quickly! You were also deceived by Yuan Thief. If you don't know, you are not guilty. How can I blame you?"

"Now that you have turned from darkness to light and are willing to help the Han Dynasty, I will have another arm!"

Jia Xu on the side listened, and the corners of his mouth kept twitching.

He doesn't even know how many arms His Majesty has now, but he always says this to people.

No, I have to help His Majesty think of some other new words.

Otherwise, the same tone goes back and forth, which seems a bit perfunctory, and the veterans will feel uncomfortable hearing it.

"His Majesty--!"

Xu You burst into tears again, and when he raised his head, his face was actually filled with tears.

"I have been wandering for half my life and have never met my Lord! Now that Your Majesty values ​​me, I will do my best to repay His Majesty's grace!"

"To kill the Yuan thieves and restore the glory of the Han Dynasty, it is our duty as Han ministers!"

After saying that, he kowtowed again.

This acting skill has completely lost the previous exaggeration and reached a state of returning to nature.

When Liu Xie and Jia Xu saw this scene, they couldn't help but smile at each other.

…

After expressing his loyalty to the emperor, Xu You began to be diligent in government affairs.

His attitude towards Yuan Shao has also changed. He is no longer as proud as before because he is Yuan Shao's childhood friend. Instead, he treats Yuan Shao as the main one and considers him everywhere.

Occasionally, there will be a well-timed slap in the face.

In the face of the Jizhou faction's targeting, he also appeared to be polite and generous, no longer as tit-for-tat as before, which made Yuan Shao unable to come to Taiwan.

All these changes made Yuan Shao very happy, and the friendship between the two seemed to have returned to their youth.

During this period, Guo Jia and Jia Xu, who were planning to "kill their father with their sons", also secretly entered the palace for final negotiations with Liu Xie.

"Your Majesty, now Xu You has become Yuan Shao's most trusted person. If what your Majesty and his ministers are planning is exposed, everything can be blamed on Xu You."

"At that time, your majesty can make a free decision whether he kills the entire Yuan family and goes to Xuzhou, or he continues to hibernate in Ye City to attack Jizhou."

"As for Xu You, he can defect to Cao Ying as an internal response."

After more than a year of forbearing planning, things finally turned around.

Jia Xu and Guo Jia are in a good mood now. They look at Yuan Shao as if they were looking at the dead bones in the grave.

After Xu You pledged his allegiance, the east gate of Yecheng was in the hands of the emperor, and he could move forward and retreat freely no matter how the situation developed.

The offensive and defensive momentum is different!

The emperor's life and death are no longer in Yuan Shao's control.

On the contrary, as long as Yuan Shao stayed in Yecheng, his life and death depended on the emperor's thoughts.

"good!"

Liu Xie suddenly felt heroic, and all the gloomy energy that Yuan Shao had suppressed in the past dissipated.

If Yuan Xi succeeds in killing his father, he will join forces with Lu Buli to cooperate with others, and Jizhou will fall into his hands in an instant.

Even if it fails, it can detonate the internal conflicts within Yuan Shao. Xu You will be blamed for all the blame, and Xu You can also be pushed to Cao Cao as an internal support.

If he covets Jizhou, he will continue to lie dormant.

On the contrary, you can also kill the entire Yuan family and sneak away to Xuzhou.

"Whether we can successfully regain Jizhou depends on the methods of our two beloved ministers."
