In Jizhou, Yuan Shao has gathered an army of one million, and the pioneer Ju Yi has also brought an army of 300,000 to it.

At the same time, Yuan Shao raised grain and grass everywhere, and also transported it to the places around Guandu in batches.

The most uncomfortable was Cao Cao, who was short of troops and was transferred everywhere.

Just when he was deploying troops and horses, Zhang Xiu and Li Dao immediately had a change.

But Cao Cao's biggest concern was still Zhang Yu.

If Zhang Yu made a move, Cao Cao would be difficult to deal with.

At this time, Yanzhou seemed to be overpowering Mount Tai.

It's best to describe it as embattled.

Cao Cao called Cao Ang, Cheng Yu, Xun You, and Man Pang over, and the others were busy arranging a lot of things.

"Yuan Shao's million-strong army is overwhelming, which makes people breathless, but the most incomprehensible thing for me is Zhang Yu, in this case, even if he doesn't get involved, he should blackmail us and Yuan Shao, but he hasn't moved." Cao Cao said.

Cao Ang nodded, and then said approvingly: "It's too abnormal, this is also the most worrying, although Zhang Yu didn't make any moves now, the child didn't believe that he was looking at it like this." ”

The other three also agreed that Zhang Yu didn't do anything, which made them even more uneasy.

"Lord, we should take the initiative to test Zhang Yu's attitude, and the other is to find a way to stabilize Sun Ce, if Sun Ce is not stabilized, Shouchun City may not wait to stop Zhang Yu." Cheng Yu suggested.

Cao Cao is also entangled, once he tests Zhang Yu's attitude, if it is not good, it will reveal the emptiness of Yanzhou and the lack of confidence, and it is very likely that Zhang Yu will pounce on them and bite them hard.

Therefore, Cao Cao did not dare to make a rash decision, once he attracted Zhang Yu's attention, the situation would be very bad.

Xun You also suggested: "Lord, Zhang Yu must be paying attention to this matter all the time, we can't test it, it's better to let Yuan Shao test it." ”

It's also a good idea to let Yuan Shao test it, but how to do it?

Xun You already had a preliminary idea, so he said: "We can let out the rumors, Zhang Yu intends to cooperate with us to defeat Yuan Shao, and we will cooperate with him to attack Xuzhou at the cost of us." ”

This plan is not very clever, Cao Cao hesitated for a moment and said: "Yuan Shao is not a fool, if Zhang Yu does not cooperate, it will be difficult for us to trust this news alone." ”

This is indeed a big problem, Zhang Yu may not cooperate, and even come out to dismantle the stage.

Cheng Yu said instead: "This time Yuan Shao dispatched a million troops, no matter what, he must be cautious, even if it is fake information, they must be careful to verify it, so maybe they will take the initiative to test Zhang Yu." ”

Cao Ang pondered for a while and said, "Father, uncles, I have a way to make Yuan Shao believe more. ”

Everyone looked at Cao Ang, Cao Ang's talent was very high, and in the past two years, he has been unanimously praised by everyone for handling large and small government affairs for Cao Cao, and Cao Cao also values Cao Ang.

"Son, please speak." Man Pang said with a kind smile.

"Let the child go to Jiangdong, presumably Yuan Shao will not dare to ignore it." Cao Ang said.

"No." Cheng Yu decisively stopped and said: "If the eldest prince goes, he may be detained by Zhang Yu." ”

The situation is different, if Zhang Yu cooperates with Yuan Shao and detains Cao Ang, it will also be a huge blow to Cao Cao.

Zhang Yu had every reason to do anything, as long as Yuan Shao bid higher than them.

Cao Cao opened his mouth to say something, but fell silent again.

He loves Cao Ang very much, Cao Ang is capable and responsible, but this is the time when they are very dangerous, and Cao Ang, as the successor, must come out and do something.

"Ang'er, you have thought clearly, this time is different from before, it may be very dangerous." Cao Cao asked.

Cao Ang said firmly: "Father, the child should share your worries, go to Jiangdong or Youzhou, the danger is not enough, for Zhang Yu and the child, he will not embarrass the child." ”

Zhang Yu did not threaten hostages and detain envoys, but the way they regarded money as their fate made them think that Zhang Yu could do anything.

Cao Ang made up his mind to go to Jiangdong, and they also knew that Zhang Yu was in Youzhou at this time, and he might have to go to Youzhou instead, but Cao Ang was still determined to do so.

Soon, Cao Cao released the news, and within two days, Cao Ang took an envoy to Jiangdong.

If Cao Ang, the successor, wants to go in person, it must be a major matter related to safety.

Yuan Shao and Cao Cao each sent a large number of spies, and the news quickly spread back.

was already close to ignoring Zhang Yu's existence, but at this time Yuan Shao paid attention to it again.

Yuan Shao once again convened his subordinates to discuss the matter.

"Cao Cao went to find Zhang Yu, it is likely that he wants to cooperate with Zhang Yu and trouble us in Youzhou or even Xuzhou, if Zhang Yu really makes a move, it will have a great impact on us." Yuan Shao said.

Everyone did not dare to despise this matter, and they all began to talk about it.

Everyone came up with several ideas, none of which were very feasible.

Tian Feng suggested: "Lord, now that Zhang Yu is in Youzhou, it is more convenient for us, why don't we also send someone to test it?" ”

It was a good idea to send someone to test it, and everyone couldn't help but look at Xu You.

Negotiating with Zhang Yu has always been Xu You's departure, and Xu You can complete the task every time.

When everyone looked at Xu You, Xu You was actually very happy, but he pretended to be very helpless and reluctant on the surface.

"Originally, I thought it would be better to send someone to send a letter, at this time, no one in Zhang Yu knew what he was thinking, we are going, not only is the task difficult, but I am afraid there is also danger." Xu Yu said.

There are dangers, there may be dangers, and this time is different than ever.

In the middle of last year, Yuan Shao sent his three sons to Bingzhou, Qingzhou and Xuzhou respectively to stabilize the place, and then requisitioned troops, horses, grain and grass to start the battle of unification.

This time is related to the safety of the entire group, so Yuan Shao is cautious.

"Ziyuan, I'm afraid I'll have to make you work hard this time, I won't forget your merits, this time the general plans to give you a house, and reward you with a hundred catties of gold, as a travel fee, when you come back, the general will be rewarded."

Yuan Shao also knew that this trip was different from the past, and he knew that Xu Yu loved money, so he took out a heavy reward.

Xu You still looked embarrassed, and after a long time, he sighed and said: "Ben Chu, I'll go this time, if anything happens to me, please take care of my descendants, and we also have to discuss a charter to deal with Zhang Yu first." ”

Everyone was relieved to see that Xu You agreed to go, no one dared to rob Xu You this time, it was him.

Everyone discussed for a while, this time to test, back and forth they have already prepared, what to do when the time comes, may be the final decision.

Xu Yu was other stealing fun, he had paid the most attention to Zhang Yu recently, seeing that Zhang Yu was calm on the surface, and there was not even any big move, which made him even more convinced that Zhang Yu was holding back his big move.

This time it was just time for him to test it, and he was still sure of safety.
