Chapter Twenty-Four: Fiction and Reality, Wanting to Capture the Past
"Why did the lord say this?"
Xu You was shocked, he had already realized that the situation was wrong.
Yuan Shao's appearance is obviously to be held accountable, it seems that it is because the war is unfavorable, but why did he come up and assert that he had taken refuge in Liu Xuande?
Xu You looked directly into Yuan Shao's eyes, understanding that Yuan Shao's current state was not a joke, it seemed that he really might draw his sword and kill himself on the spot in the next second.
"You don't know it yourself?"
Yuan Shao still wanted to deceive Xu You, if he could admit it himself, then he would be able to grasp more initiative and nominal justice.
But there was only panic in his eyes, but he didn't see disappointment in the eyes of the frustrated professor on the side.
How can one deduce the problem that does not appear in this scene?
Presumably, there was a problem with the three strange soldiers, and the three routes given by Xu Yu were accurately predicted by Liu Xuande's people, and targeted ambushes were carried out.
Only an accident of this magnitude would make Yuan Shao want to execute Xu Yu on the spot in such a gaffe.
If it was frustration that suffered at this time, then Xu Yu might have fallen into the ground.
Although he didn't like Xu You, he still understood that this matter should not be a matter of Xu You's collaboration with the enemy, but that his own movements were completely predicted by the enemy.
This is a disparity in strength and crushing, not a problem of collaborating with the enemy.
But Fu Zhi knew that if he said this kind of gap, Yuan Shao would never listen to it, but would blame himself for it.
Therefore, the most that Fu Zhu can do is to remain silent, not say more than half a word, and let Yuan Shao deal with it.
"My lord is like this, you really don't know what you did wrong?"
Of course, Xu You is also a smart person, and he also understands that he should have been seen through by Chen Chen and them, and every step was targeted, and the degree of targeting would even make people feel that he had deliberately made do with them.
At this time, it is time to retreat into advance.
Xu You is usually crazy, after getting familiar with people's personalities, he still knows how to communicate, like in his previous life, he really belonged to Xu Chu's character, and he didn't think that the fool would directly cut him with a knife.
"If the lord wants Xu You to die, Xu You can die now, but Xu You doesn't want to die unclearly, please make it clear to the lord and give Xu You justice!"
It's a wonderful way to move forward and backward.
In an instant, Yuan Shao's murderous intent that had been thinking about it for a long time before it was determined was shaken.
Xu You's eyes were a little shaken when he saw Yuan Shao, and he understood that Yuan Shao actually had no substantial evidence, but he doubted himself because it was too much of a coincidence.
Yuan Shao did see Xu You's appearance, and also thought that his behavior was actually too arbitrary, a little too demoralizing, although he was sure that the current situation would be like this, just because Xu You betrayed himself, but at this time he would be soft-hearted and thought that if Xu You didn't betray it, everything was just a coincidence, would his behavior hurt Xu You's emotions to a great extent?
But the behavior has already been made, and it is difficult to recover it.
Fu Zhi coldly looked at Yuan Shao's expression on the side to deduce his current thoughts, and sure enough, Yuan Benchu's character shortcomings were vividly reflected at this time.
The ears are soft, easy to get on the head, and act impulsively.
Alas, a person is indeed a person who has both advantages and disadvantages, so he is more like a person, but the problem is that Yuan Shao's words can't give people a sense of security at all.
Once his role is insufficient, and there is a villain to make trouble, will he be like Xu You, facing this kind of reputation for collaborating with the enemy and betraying?
Frustration was also a little cold, but he knew that he had nothing to say now, all he needed was to be loyal to his duties and finish what he should do.
As for the outcome, leave it to fate.
He closed his eyes, he knew that he must have entered a stalemate now, and Yuan Shao's impulsiveness also led to the fact that Xu You can only be regarded as a disposable, after this war, will Xu You still stay in Yuan Jun. Probably not, right?
It's too demoralizing, it's too hurtful.
Yuan Shao wanted to hesitate at this time, but Wen Chou didn't agree, he stepped forward and tied Xu You's hands and tied him up.
Xu You didn't resist, because he knew that if he resisted in this situation, he should have thrown his life here.
You can't bet on that.
"The lord waits for the news of Brother Gongji."
Wen Chou had already prepared for the worst in his heart, if something happened to Yan Liang, he would definitely kill Xu Yu first, and then petition Yuan Shao to take the soldiers to attack Liu Bei's camp, taking advantage of Liu Bei's Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei who were still in Jizhou and couldn't come over in time.
For example, the combat effectiveness of Xu Huang, the commander of the Dingyuan Army in Taishan County, should be five or five with himself in Wen Chou's opinion, and when he breaks out, he will definitely not be able to stop himself from taking Liu Bei's head.
Wen Chou stiffly pressed Xu Yu's neck.
"If, I said yes, if something happens to Brother Gongji, I will take you as a burial!"
Wen Chou whispered in Xu You's ear, Xu You instantly looked at Yuan Shao, but saw him with a tacit expression, Xu You instantly felt like he had been eaten by a dog.
Sure enough, there is still no way to become a person who Yuan Shao can trust?
Even if he is so active and serious this time, he is just a dispensable chess piece after all.
Everyone in the world said that Xu Ziyuan was arrogant and arrogant, and they all said that he Xu Ziyuan was born against his bones, and his heart was higher than the sky.
But who knows that his exaggerated behavior over the years is just that he can't see hope, can't see a clear future, and can't see the appearance of a master who can convince him.
In fact, this is also the difference between Xu You's pattern and some other first-class celebrities.
More first-class plotters, they dare to try to create the future by themselves, find someone who agrees with them, and work together, even if they regret it for life in the end, but even if they fail in their ideals, they do not fail in their original intentions.
Well, the mastermind of a certain First Force doesn't think so, he is a fisher in troubled waters, finds a love match, and also clarifies the direction of future development, his purpose at the beginning is to be able to live in this strange world for a few more years, take care of the elderly, fish or something.
"Mr. Gong and Mr. should rest early."
Yuan Shao turned his head and smiled at the frustration on the side and said, but he didn't know that even if he had a smile on his face now, in the eyes of the frustration, it was just a mask on his face.
He didn't know when Yuan Shao would take off this mask, and then face himself with that face that made him feel cold, he had a hunch, maybe in the near future.
"Mr. Ziyuan, this matter has not yet been decided, so please stay in this military tent, if it is found out that it has nothing to do with you, then you will be cleared."
Yuan Shao nodded, and left the military tent with Wen Chou, he instructed the soldiers outside the military tent to guard Xu You, basically confirming that he would be placed under house arrest.
Fu Zhu and Xu Yu watched Yuan Shao and their departure in the military tent, and they were silent for a while, not knowing what to say.
But Xu Yu saw through it himself.
"Hehe, I should have known that my life was over this time, my father and brother should be careful."
Xu You understood that since Yu Fuluo and Wen Chou had encountered resistance, Yan Liang naturally couldn't escape, so he would definitely die, but what could he do?
He is now on other people's territory, that is, under the control of others, and whether the head is not on his own head does not depend on himself.
He could only give one sentence of advice.
"As a minister, I can only do my best."
Fu Zhu didn't answer Xu You's exhortation directly, in fact, the two of them had been chatting alone for so long, and there wasn't much hostility between the two of them, and now that such a thing has come, how could Xu You still think about fighting for power?
There was silence again in the tent, and there was silence for a while.
In the south of Fuyang City, hundreds of miles away, at this time, there was a lot of noise everywhere, and the sound of killing shook the sky.
Yan Liang had already launched a second assault on the grain and grass team that Zhang Liao personally led troops to protect.
This section of the road is the best place to attack, because the road is long and narrow, the entire grain and grass team is divided, and the soldiers of the Yanmen Army guarding it are easy to take care of one or the other.
Yan Liangzhi had already successfully decided how to successfully attract the attention of Zhang Liao's defensive forces, and then attack the grain and grass.
"How's it going with what I've told you to do?"
Yan Liang watched the grain and grass team of Liu Bei's camp in the distance slowly move on a hillside, approaching the direction of his ambush, he asked the deputy general beside him, he had just explained the method for the deputy general to arrange his orders.
"It's all ready, the tails of the five hundred horsemen are all tied with grass and tree branches, and we have tried it, if we run, it can indeed produce the effect of three thousand horses, and even from a distance, it will have a better effect, and now they have laid dust on the road."
What Yan Liang wanted was a bluff on the front, and then avoid the real and attack the false, attracting Zhang Liao's defensive forces to the front, and the remaining more than 2,000 cavalry would quickly evacuate after a surprise attack behind the enemy and burning the grain and grass.
Fiction and reality are the way to win on the battlefield.
Yan Liang's learning and attainments in this area are not weak, if you have to make a comparison, Yan Liang is Liu Bei's Guan Yu for Yuan Shao, and he can rest assured that he can attack independently.
Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Wanfu is not brave.
At least Yan Liang also had the courage to use 500 people to fight psychological warfare with Zhang Liao face to face.
Perhaps supreme courage is the most important quality that every fierce general must have.
"It's almost there, let's get started."
Yan Liang turned over his horse, danced the weapon in his hand, and looked at the grain and grass team coming from afar, he knew that he had been operating behind enemy lines for too long, but he had to destroy these grains and grass, so as to gain more frontal battlefield advantages for his side, and let the enemy's logistics collapse.
This battle will be won.
As soon as the grain and grass were burned, they had to evacuate immediately, Yan Liang had already received the order given to him by Yuan Shao, and he also knew that Yu Fuluo was directly beheaded on the battlefield by an unknown young general, and Wen Chou was also ambushed by Zhao Zilong.
This battle may not be able to reach their two armies in time, but if it is not successful this time, then the next time they have to face the combination of the three armies, there is basically no chance, and they may also be surrounded and trapped here.
"Whew."
Yan Liang let out a sigh of relief, and he understood more and more what it was like when the burden and hope of the entire camp were on his shoulders.
The responsibility is heavier than Mount Tai, and I would like to exchange my life for the future.
"Let's go!"
"Drive!"
Yan Liang personally took five hundred horsemen to hang a branch on the tail of the horse, and when the horse galloped, the dust on the road was raised, and for a while, the raiding cavalry lineup looked like there were thousands of people, and Zhang Liao also discovered Yan Liang's existence for the first time.
"Again?"
"It seems that he still doesn't give up, but the gentleman did say that he can't let them get it too easily."
After thinking about it for a while, Zhang Liao ordered to go down, so that the soldiers of the rear army to protect the grain and grass convoy also rushed to the front to meet the battle.
Give up your tail so that the enemy can see it and bite it.
When fishing, don't you have to give the bait out before you can get the fish to take the bait?
Zhang Liao knows this well.
Yan Liangzhiyong, he has also seen it, it is indeed powerful, but he understands the other party's thoughts better, so the opportunity is given to you, you must seize it.
Soon, the Yanmen army gathered in front of the grain and grass team, ready to meet Yan Liang's incoming "army".
In this way, the gaps and lax defenses exposed behind the grain and grass convoy were enough for Yan Liang to ambush the thousands of cavalry on the other side to charge.
Yan Liang also saw the enemy's movements from a distance, which was in line with his psychological expectations, which made him happy, he was able to give up the opportunity before he officially started, no matter how young and old you Zhang Liao are, and you have a good schedule, in this kind of situation, you will still lose the grain and grass.
Yan Liang didn't step forward with the team again, but slowed down slightly, he was waiting for the fireworks behind the grain and grass convoy.
Sure enough.
Less than half an hour after the guards of the Yanmen Army left, the grain and grass carts behind the grain and grass convoy were attacked.
Thousands of cavalry with rockets invaded from the side, and for a time I don't know how much grain and grass were ignited, and hundreds of grain trucks were in flames, and their grain trucks didn't do much to prevent fire.
Yan Liang saw that the plan was successful, and the effect was better than he imagined, so he immediately withdrew with his men and horses to join his subordinates.
Everything went smoothly.
And what made Yan Liang so successful was not only the soldiers who worked hard under Yan Liang, but also the soldiers of the Yanmen Army.
Yan Liangjun's men didn't see it, and some of the grain and grass trucks that their rockets missed also burst into flames.
If you look behind the grain truck, you can see the soldiers of the Yanmen Army hiding their figures, lighting a fire under the grain and grass cart and throwing it into the car.
Zhang Liao felt that he was righteous enough this time.
This scene is already grand enough.
But on the battlefield, who can completely judge all the correct movements?
This is just a ploy by the gentleman to get away with it.
