Reborn in the Three Kingdoms, I stole Liu Bei's uncle

Wen Chou was pacing slowly in the tent. At this moment, the guards outside the door came in, looked at Wen Chou, and asked in confusion: "General, this man's whereabouts are suspicious. I'm afraid he is a spy of the enemy army. Are we going to let him go like this?"

Wen Chou smiled faintly and said, "This man is still useful. Let him go. Let's first investigate the grain transportation route he provided to see if what he said is true."

After the young man in tight clothes came out of Wen Chou's tent, he went straight to Guo Tu's tent.

At this moment, Guo Tu's face still had some joy that was difficult to conceal. Yan Liang's death greatly strengthened his control over the army, and he firmly believed that he would be able to completely control the army in the near future.

Just as he was secretly rejoicing, a servant came hurriedly to report that an old friend came to visit him.

"Old friend? Where did this old friend come from?" Guo Tu was a little surprised. At this critical moment of life and death, he had no choice but to be cautious.

"The man didn't say anything. I checked his pass and there's nothing wrong with it."

Guo Tu remained silent. Although the war situation was tense, he knew in his heart that the so-called confidential road permits were not actually a secret. As long as someone was willing to spend some time and effort, it would not be difficult to get a few road permits.

However, he did not respond directly, but was secretly calculating in his mind. After a while, he finally said, "Bring him in." This sentence showed both his curiosity about the identity of the visitor and his cautious attitude.

After all, at this critical moment, any detail may affect the outcome of the battle.

After the man came in, Guo Tu looked at him for a long time and confirmed that he had never seen him before. He became alert and asked in a stern voice: "Who are you? Why did you go to so much trouble to come to see me?"

The young man in tight clothes smiled faintly and said, "General Guo, don't be nervous. I am a friend, not an enemy. I came here to give you a great gift."

"Giving me a gift?" Guo Tu sneered, "You came into the camp alone, so you must have a plan. There is no need to beat around the bush in front of me."

The young man smiled and said, "An old friend asked me to bring a letter to the military supervisor. You will know the answer after reading it."

Guo Tu opened the letter, read it, and his face changed color instantly.

"You actually came here and gave me this letter. Are you really going to die?"

The young man seemed nonchalant and didn't seem to care.

"My personal life and death is a minor matter, but your future is more important. I hope you will consider this matter carefully."

Guo Tu smiled coldly and said, "I have done a great deed by handing the letter to the lord. How can it affect my future? Do you think that just because of this letter, I will lose the trust of the lord?"

"This letter alone will not arouse Yuan Shao's suspicion. But if I say that I was captured by Wen Chou on my way here and I gave him a letter, the content of that letter is slightly different from this one, but the meaning is quite different. If the military supervisor thinks Yuan Shao will trust you, just hand over this letter."

What? Captured by Wen Chou? Guo Tu had roughly understood what this meant. He wanted to draw out his sword and kill the man with one blow.

But he couldn't do that, he remained calm because this was most likely a trap, and before he figured out the real purpose of the person who set up the trap, any rash action could lead to a complete failure.

Guo Tu was a little hesitant. What this person said was right. If there really were two letters that were not much different, it would definitely arouse Yuan Shao's suspicion. If he then thought that he had secretly tampered with the letter, he would have no way to defend himself.

On the contrary, if he did not show this letter, even if Wen Chou gave another letter to Yuan Shao, he could still insist that it was Wen Chou who framed him. In this way, he would be invincible.

As long as this person is killed, this matter will disappear completely without a trace like fog.

Guo Tu was about to speak and signal his trusted men to take action, but he heard the young man slowly say, "Does the military supervisor really not want to hear what great gift I have for you?"

Hearing this, Guo Tu's heart moved and he couldn't help but stop the order that was about to come out.

He stared at the young man sharply, trying to determine from his expression and tone whether what he said was true.

After all, a big gift might change the current situation and give him more advantages.

The young man looked at Guo Tu, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, as if he was satisfied with Guo Tu's reaction.

Guo Tu was silent for a moment, and finally said, "Tell me what you have to say. If you can satisfy this military supervisor, I may spare your life."

His voice was low and authoritative, but there was a hint of curiosity in it.

The young man smiled faintly and began to write on the table. As the characters appeared, beads of sweat appeared on Guo Tu's forehead.

The young man smiled and said, "Yan Liang is the first great gift my master gave to the military supervisor. The next one is the second. As long as the military supervisor can receive this second great gift, his position under Yuan Shao will be unrivaled in the future."

The beads of sweat on Guo Tu's forehead grew bigger and bigger, and soon they rolled down his forehead and fell to the ground.

Guo Tu kept thinking for a long time, and after a long time, he finally made up his mind.

"For such a valuable gift, what do I need to pay?"

Guo Tu knew very well that there was no free lunch in this world and every gift came with a price.

The other party gave him such a generous gift, so he must expect a corresponding return.

The young man said calmly: "You just need to bring it out in two days to make a feint, and leave the rest to us.

Military Supervisor, don't doubt it. In fact, our purpose for doing this is very simple. This war has been going on for too long. We want to withdraw, but unfortunately, with the current military strength, Yuan Shao will definitely not agree. We have no choice but to resort to this desperate measure. "

Time seemed to freeze. After a long silence, Guo Tu finally spoke: "I promise you."

These words were like the sound of a bell that broke the silence, announcing his decision.

At this moment, he had roughly understood the purpose of the visitor. It did not have much impact on him, but on the contrary, it brought many benefits.

……

……

Wen Chou kept waiting for news in the tent until the third day, when the news was finally brought back.

"General, in addition to the White Horse route, the other two food transport routes are secret but do exist. When we went to investigate, we also found military food being transported."

Wen Chou nodded and asked, "Did Guo Tu have any reaction?"

"The camp is organizing its troops, and there seem to be signs of them moving towards Yeonjin."

Wen Chou sneered.

All of this is finally about to begin. In this calculation, everyone thinks that he is the hunter, but Wen Chou knows that there is only one real hunter.

This person can only be himself, because a true hunter will often draw his bow and arrow at the last moment.
