Chapter 325: The Battle of Guandu (12)

Xin Ping smiled: "Xu You is greedy, there must be a lot, we must get the things there out as soon as possible, so as not to have many dreams at night, in case Li Jue learns about that place from Xu You's nephew's mouth, we will be empty of bamboo baskets." ”

Xun Zhan nodded: "This is indeed a tricky matter, not only to be secretive but also fast, let me think about it, I must find a safe way." ”

Xun Zhan returned to his station, then found a domestic servant, and instructed: "You immediately take a hundred people to Yecheng, hand over this letter to Zhen Yan of the Zhen family, and tell him that this matter is done, remember to be careful, it is best not to let Yuan Shao's people know." ”

The servant nodded and went out with the letter. As soon as the servant left, Yuan Shao came, and the two almost collided. The servant went out the door. Xun Zhan hurriedly greeted Yuan Shao: "Why hasn't the lord rested so late, is there something wrong with coming to me?" ”

Yuan Shao glanced at the back of the servant: "Is this person the servant you recruited before?" ”

Xun Zhan nodded, but there was a storm in his heart, fortunately Yuan Shao didn't notice it, this was sent by the lord to protect him.

Yuan Shao exclaimed: "This person is a wolf, he can be called an elite soldier, and Youruo's subordinates are really full of talents!" ”

"The lord praises it! Your lord, please be seated! Xun Zhan let Yuan Shao into the house.

After sitting down, Yuan Shao sighed: "Since Shang'er was injured, I have been negligent in managing the army, I just made an inspection, only Youruo's soldiers are high-spirited, tomorrow I will send someone to Cao Cao to write a war letter, I don't know if Youruo thinks it is appropriate?" ”

Xun Zhan said: "The army has been trapped here for several months, and the consumption of grain and grass is huge, and the early decisive battle can be an early division, I believe that the grain and grass of the Cao army are not enough, and they also want to start the war as soon as possible, but is it a little hasty tomorrow?" Our army has been resting for a long time, and we need to reorganize, otherwise the situation of this battle will be unpredictable. ”

"Hey!" Yuan Shao sighed: "I think so too, but I can't help it, just now I sent someone to look for Xu You, but I didn't find it, someone Xu You went out of the city overnight and seemed to run to Guandu, I'm worried about ......!" ”

"Xu Yu surrendered to Cao Cao?" Xun Zhan pretended to be surprised: "How is this possible?" Hasn't Xu You always been the arm of the lord? ”

Yuan Shao said coldly: "Xu You is greedy, when I was in Yecheng before, I can still restrain him a little, since the army went out, Xu You and his nephew embezzled the money and grain on the front line, and was found out by Li Qi, I was angry for a while, so I ordered Xu You's whole family to be beheaded, presumably Xu You knew about it, and he was afraid that I would punish him before surrendering to Cao Cao." ”

"Oh! I see! Xun Zhan said: "Lord, Xu You's defection to Cao Cao is a great disadvantage to our army, and our army's deployment Xu You knows everything about it, in case it ......!" ”

Yuan Shao immediately wilted like a frosted eggplant: "I'm also worried about this, so I want to send a war letter to Cao Cao tomorrow, and start a war with Cao Cao before Cao Cao can make corresponding adjustments." ”

Xun Zhan nodded: "This is also a way." ”

"Do you think it's possible?" Yuan Shao asked.

Xun Zhan sighed: "Now there is only one strategy, although it may not be impossible to defeat Cao Cao in a hurry." ”

Yuan Shao said: "Then tomorrow I will work hard for Youruo, go to Guandu to Cao Cao to write a war letter, I have written the letter, as for what to do, I believe that Youruo should be clear!" Yuan Shao took out a letter and put it in front of the desk, got up and left.

Xin Ping turned out from behind the screen and said to Xun Zhan: "It seems that Yuan Shao is going to fight hard this time, but I think Cao Cao will not respond to the battle, it will take time for the 200,000 army to adjust the deployment, and Cao Cao has few soldiers who can completely surprise Yuan Shao, and Cao Cao will not stupidly agree to the decisive battle." ”

Xun Zhan smiled: "This is not something we are worried about, I now want to think that if Li Jue did not kill Xu You's family according to Yuan Shao's order, our fake letter will soon be exposed?" ”

Shaking his head: "It doesn't matter anymore, now that Xu You is gone, it doesn't matter if you kill Xu You's whole family or not, the most important thing is that we don't have to be the villain who defected to the enemy." ”

Xu You listened to Xun Zhan's words like five thunderbolts, and he has been a cow and a horse to assist Yuan Shao over the years, and he has not hesitated to humiliate himself several times in order to take the blame for Yuan Shao. The most serious one, in order to take care of Yuan Shao's face, was dragged out to parade in the streets under Li Hui's obscenity, but he didn't expect such a result to come now. The hatred for Yuan Shao was all in my heart.

He didn't stop much in Yanjin, didn't bring anything, turned over on his horse alone, and urged the horse to run out of Yanjin City. Xu You is a celebrity under Yuan Shao, and he doesn't dare to stop him at the checkpoints along the road. Xu You ran to the Yellow River in one breath, he was going to die, but after thinking about it, the revenge of the whole family of sixty or seventy people could not be avenged, and now only Cao Cao could help him avenge.

Xu Yu abandoned his horse and crossed the Yellow River. When Xu You stood outside Guandu City, he felt a little unbearable in his heart, how could Yuan Shao be his own lord, and he did such a thing to betray his master, how would the people of later generations see him, the two different voices in his head competed with each other, and he couldn't tell the difference for a while.

"Who? Just let go of the arrows without saying a word! The soldiers in the city had already shouted several times, but Xu You didn't hear it.

"Whoosh......" An arrow stabbed into the dirt in front of Xu You, and the splashed dirt splashed Xu You's face. Xu You finally made up his mind and shouted loudly: "Don't release the arrow, I'm here to find Cao Darao!" ”

"Who are you?" The soldier asked.

"You go and tell the prime minister that you want to see his childhood friend!" Xu Yu responded loudly.

There was no movement above the city for a long time, and just when Xu You thought that it might be Cao Cao who looked down on him and didn't want to see him, the city gate suddenly opened, and two teams of soldiers armed with the whole government, U Ming Jialiang, quickly ran out of the city gate and lined up on both sides of the road. The bright sword shook under the light of the torch, and Xu You's eyes hurt.

A general rode a war horse and walked up to Xu You: "You are Xu You!" ”

"Exactly!" Xu You replied, at this time, he could only let it go, even if Cao Cao blamed himself for not choosing him and choosing Yuan Shao to kill him, he could only admit it.

The general looked Xu You up and down a few times, and sneered: "Hmph, a traitor is still so spirited, he is really not afraid of death!" ”

Xun Zhan followed Yuan Shao's instructions and came to Guandu with the war book. Xun Zhan was regarded as Yuan Shao's envoy, and the Tanma who had not yet arrived at Guandu Cao Cao had already reported the matter to Cao Cao. Cao Cao personally led hundreds of soldiers and his subordinates to wait for Xun Zhan at the gate of the city. This kind of behavior made many of Cao Cao's subordinates feel dissatisfied, even if a Xun Zhan is powerful, Cao Cao will not be angry.

Xun Zhan hurriedly dismounted. Cao Cao took a step forward and grabbed Xun Zhan's reins: "Youruo has an unexpected harvest every time you come to Cao, I don't know what Mr. Lai sent me this time?" ”
