"Good, good... The general said that we are enemies, so we are enemies. However, the general came to Xudu, not really to start a war with us, but to ask for Sima Yi. But Sima Yi is not in Xu Capital City, so what is the use of the general's troops outside the city? ”

Xun You cleverly changed the topic.

"Absent?"

Xiang Yu was originally here to find trouble, how could he let Xun Yu send him away without a word: "If Sima Yi is not in Xudu City, you can wash your neck and wait to see how I enter the city." ”

"With all due respect, although General Xiang's broken military camp is brave, if you want to break through my Xu Capital, you still owe some fire, right?" Xun You chuckled lightly and said, "It's better to value peace and solve it in a peaceful way..." ”

"Mr. Xun."

Xiang Yu interrupted Xun You's words and said, "How about we make a bet?" ”

"Bet?"

"That's right. Didn't you just say that although you are brave in breaking the military camp, you can't break through the capital city? But in my opinion, Xu Du is useless, I only need 5,000 elite soldiers to rush to Cao Cao's mansion. Do you dare to bet? ”

Xun You scolded in his heart: "It's too arrogant! I don't even take Xu Ducheng in my eyes! ”

He thought about it carefully, there were 60,000 elites in Xudu City, the city was three feet and five feet high, and it was equipped with bows, crossbows, wood, and stones. Coupled with the bombs made by the fairy wine, even in the face of the siege of 200,000 troops, it can be resisted.

What's more, Xiang Yu used five thousand horses, even if he flew, he couldn't fly over.

Xun You nodded secretly and said, "Okay, how does General Xiang want to bet?" ”

Xiang Yu said: "Within three days, I led 5,000 soldiers to Cao Cao's mansion. If I do, you guys will get out of Xudu City immediately. If I didn't do it, I would lead the army back to Yangzhou and never mention Sima Yi again. How is it? ”

"Nope."

"Why not?"

Xun You said: "Whether we win or lose, we will suffer. General Xiang is inevitably too good at business, right? Besides, Xu Du is the capital of King Wei, how dare I, a little scribe, use him as a bet? ”

"So what do you say? You can't let my adventure go for nothing, can you? ”

Xun Yu continued to think deeply.

With the defense of Xu Capital, there is absolutely no problem in holding it for three days.

But...

If Xiang Yu used trickery to break the city, he couldn't prevent it.

So, the stakes must not be too big.

Xun Youtu smiled: "That's it." If the general can lead 5,000 cavalry to the palace of King Wei, I promise to hand over Sima Yi. ”

"In that case, Sima Yi is indeed in the city?"

"No, no... Sima Yi was not in the city. I mean... After Sima Yi returned, he was immediately sent to Yangzhou. The premise is that the general can win the game. Otherwise, it will be returned to Yangzhou unconditionally. ”

Xiang Yu is also a master who does not suffer losses, how can he be satisfied with just using Sima Yi as a bet?

Xiang Yu said: "Add another 50,000 stone of grain, and cash it out within a month!" ”

"Ten thousand stones?!"

"Fifty thousand stones!"

"Twenty thousand stones?!"

..........

bargained with Xun You for a long time.

Xiang Yu was a little angry, and shouted impatiently: "Do you like to gamble or not." If I can't see Sima Yi at noon tomorrow, I will go into the city and chop off Cao Cao's dog's head. Someone, send off! ”

"Don't, don't... General Xiang, I agree to add another 50,000 stone to the bet! ”

Xun Yu was afraid that Xiang Yu would break the contract and lead a large army to attack the city, so he had to give in. However, in his opinion, Xiang Yu's desire to enter the city with 5,000 elites is simply a fool's dream.

The final winner of the game must be him!

Return to the palace of King Wei of Xudu.

Xun You told Cao Cao about the gambling game.

When Cao Cao heard it at first glance, he didn't think there was anything bad. Because Xiang Yu used 5,000 soldiers, how could he attack Xudu City? If you win the gamble, you can justifiably persuade Xiang Yu to quit.

But think about it. What kind of person is Xiang Yu? He single-handedly defeated Yuan Shu's army of more than 100,000. Together with Lu Bu, he made a big fuss in Shouchun City. Yuan Shu's hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses were helpless.

The current Xu Ducheng is less than 60,000 paces, can it stop Xiang Yu?

If you lose the gamble, where can you find Sima Yi? Where did the 50,000 stone grain come from?

"Is King Wei worried?"

Xun You asked cautiously.

Cao Cao looked around for a while, and when he saw that there were no outsiders in the hall, he said, "Xiang Yu is very brave." If he stormed the city, the consequences would be unimaginable. Isn't your bet with him a little hasty? ”

"Back to King Wei, in that situation at that time, the minister couldn't agree to it."

Cao Cao didn't blame Xun Yu and said, "Since you have already promised Xiang Yu, it is not good to regret it." I also want to see how Xiang Yu attacked my Xu Capital City with 5,000 horsemen. ”

"You go and gather the generals at all levels and come to the meeting. Let's discuss it and see how to hold on to Xudu for three days. ”

"No."

Xun You went to various places in the city to gather generals to discuss matters.

Church.

Xun Yu, Cheng Yu, and Guo Jia also rushed to hear the letter.

Xun You told the gambling game.

Guo Jia hurriedly said: "King Wei, I don't support this gamble. ”

"Fengxiao, what do you mean by this?" Xun Yu asked.

"The final winner of this gamble must be Lu Bu. Why should we gamble again? Guo Jia said with some anger: "Hasn't it been agreed a long time ago, no matter what, you can't go to war?" Why is there such a game? ”

"Bong-hyo."

Cao Cao asked, "Why must the final winner be Lu Bu?" ”

Guo Jia explained: "The generals under Lü Bu's command have long been dissatisfied with Lü Bu's alliance with the King of Wei, and look forward to fighting the King of Wei again. Xiang Yu set up a gambling game, no matter whether he won or lost, his goal was achieved.... ”

"If Xiang Yu can win, then needless to say, Xu Capital City will be occupied by Xiang Yu and Gao Shun. Because Xiang Yu has already broken the city, can our 60,000 foot cavalry stop the broken military camp that is as powerful as a tiger? ”

"If Xiang Yu is defeated, or if there is a loss in the broken military camp, how can Lu Bu give up? When he first fought Yuan Shu, in order to rescue Xiang Yu, Lu Bu took risks alone and entered Shouchun City. If Xiang Yu is injured in a battle with us, then Lu Bu is likely to lead an army to kill him. ”

"This gamble seems to be beneficial to us, but it is actually very dangerous!"

Guo Jia's words broke the mystery, which made Cao Cao break out in a cold sweat.

Xun You also knew that he had made a big mistake, but he was particularly unwilling to say: "Even if it is a gamble, the cost of winning or losing should be borne by yourself." Xiang Yu is a generation of famous generals, how can he find a back account? ”

"Gongda, you are confused!" Guo Jia reprimanded: "Even Lu Bu has gone back on his word, and he does things according to his preferences, let alone Xiang Yu?" Besides, our bet with Xiang Yu, can Lu Bu abide by the rules? ”

"This..."

Xun You was speechless.

Cao Cao said: "It seems that this gamble really can't be played." ”

"Not only can't you fight, but you also have to make amends to Xiang Yu." Guo Jia clenched his fists and said: "The minister suggested taking out 10,000 stone of grain and giving it to Xiang Yu, taking the opportunity to cancel the gamble." Then he sent people to negotiate with Gao Shun and Xiang Yu to persuade them to withdraw from the army. ”

"If Xiang Yu and Gao Shun insist on not leaving. The king of Wei needed to send someone to Shouchun City to negotiate directly with Lü Bu, saying that after Sima Yi returned, he would be sent to Shouchun immediately. Thinking about it, Lu Bu didn't want to make a big deal out of it, so he would order Xiang and Gao to retreat. ”

After listening to Guo Jia's advice, the generals in the hall were all indignant. I want to talk about "Lu Bu, the Tyrant of the Three Kingdoms" with more like-minded people, pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find a confidant~
