Outside Jinyang City, Yuan Jun camp.

Xu You sat in the tent, looking at the young son and the domestic servants who came in a hurry, his face was full of gloom, and his face was uncertain.

The trial was a prelude to the first execution, and the first was to take into custody a series of Hebei officials and their families who were implicated by Liu Zhi among the enemies, and then send an envoy to Taiyuan to report Yuan Shao's major incident that happened in Yecheng.

And Xu You's young son and domestic servants noticed that something was wrong at the time of the incident, and after escaping the pursuit, they hurriedly fled and rushed to Jinyang City to ask Xu You for help.

Under the rush of the road, they arrived at the Yuan army camp earlier than the envoys sent by the trial.

With a time lead, Xu You was not caught off guard by the blow from behind the political enemy of the trial.

But under the sudden bad news, more wisdom is like a promise, and it is inevitable that he will be restless and chaotic.

Forcing himself to calm down, he began to analyze his current situation and countermeasures.

As for whether the second son Xu Fan colluded with the enemy, this question has become unimportant now.

Xu You knows very well that the trial of the temporary overlord will not be untargeted, and since he dares to act brazenly behind his back, he is sure enough to handle this case of collusion with foreign enemies into an iron case to nail his own family.

I am in a passive position, which is very disadvantageous.

And if you want to turn passive into active, you can only immediately go to Yuan Shao's tent to ask for guilt and win the forgiveness of the general Yuan Shao, or take a risk, change the banner, and simply flee from the Yuan army camp and defect to Yan Xing in Guanxi?

Xu You stood up and paced back and forth restlessly under the gaze of his young son and his henchman.

Excuse the guilty in advance and win the forgiveness of the general Yuan Shao?

Xu You thought for a long time, and finally shook his head.

Recently, the war was not going well, Cao Cao's army was unexpectedly defeated by Yan Xing's Guanxi soldiers and horses in Henan, and the Hebei army in the annex has become a lone army, and there are Xianbei cavalry in Daijun, Shanggu and other places in the rear, and the temper of the general Yuan Shao has become more and more irritable.

What's more, according to Xu Yu's observation for many years, the general Yuan Shao is lenient on the outside and jealous on the inside, and what he can't bear the most is the betrayal and disobedience of others.

Putting his life on the forgiveness of the general Yuan Shao, Xu You was really not at ease.

But Yan Xing, who defected to Kansai, was also full of difficulties.

To the north is the Zhang He army, to the south is the Gao Lan army that attacked the Bird Mouse Valley, and the Shangdang is the Wen Chou army, no matter which road they flee to Sanhe and Guanzhong, they will inevitably be pursued and intercepted by Hebei soldiers along the way.

Unless, escape into the close Jinyang City.

Thinking of this, Xu You frowned.

Jinyang City is precarious, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that although the city defenders stubbornly resist and do not surrender, the city wall will collapse, and it is not far from the fall of the city.

Once he escaped into the city, he became a fish and turtle in an urn like the guard Cao Yuan and others.

"My lord, this matter is a matter of concern to the family, and a decision needs to be made as soon as possible, the child is only afraid that the messenger sent by the old thief has also arrived in the army!"

Xu You's young son looked at his father who was turning around, his eyes were glazed, he couldn't hold back the anxiety in his heart, and urged uneasily.

When the young son said this, Xu You's figure was stunned and blurted out.

"Let's go!"

"Where are you going?"

The young son and the domestic servant looked forward to it and stared at Xu You.

"In the name of persuasion, go out of the camp to Jinyang City!"

Xu You said quickly, and had already turned around and began to pack up important things.

But his words made the restless young son and the domestic servant so frightened that they couldn't take a step.

"Go ,,, go to Jinyang City, my lord, aren't you going to beg in the general's tent?"

They had heard that Jinyang City was already a dead city, and it was not far from the time of its fall.

When Xu You heard the words of the young son, he turned around and kicked him with a kick, and scolded in a low voice:

"Shaft, do you really think that this time is also an ordinary case, causing such a big disaster, and still thinking that Naigong will also be sent to death!"

Xu You was about to scold again, but the corner of his eyes swept to the side of the servant's trembling expression, and then turned to sneer and said:

"Shaft, Naigong is not afraid, you are very afraid. Although Jinyang City is besieged, but the soldiers and horses of Guanxi have defeated the Cao army, and they will go north to relieve the siege in the near future. ”

"Why don't you hurry up and help Naigong pack up his things!"

Xu You scolded in a low voice, urging his young son and the servants to help pack up the important things in the tent, and prepare to escape from the Yuan army camp immediately.

In order to escape for their lives, the three of them were very fast, and after a while, they rushed out of the tent with all their things, and Xu You personally came forward, showing Yuan Shao's warrant, claiming to enter the city to persuade the enemy to surrender, swaggering through the barracks, through the ravines and low walls, and came to the city of Jinyang, which was soaked by Fenshui for months.

As soon as they arrived, the three of Xu You's master and servant did not dare to hesitate any longer, and they all slapped their horses into the icy water, trekked forward in the mud, and shouted to the city wall, "The general's messenger, don't be targeted", and approached the city wall of Jinyang City step by step.

Xu You's lower body was completely soaked in water, his robe and face were also stained with a lot of mud, he didn't look embarrassed, he saw with his own eyes that the foundation of Jinyang City had been damaged by Fenshui, and when he was hesitating, there was a sudden movement in the distance behind him.

When he looked back, he saw that there were many foot cavalry movements in the Yuan camp in the distance, and the Yuan army officials who had just let them pass seemed to be running for orders, asking the crossbowmen to release arrows on their side.

Seeing this, Xu You jumped off the horse in a hurry, regardless of the fact that he was soaking wet, and shouted at the city while looking back.

"Nanyang Xu Yu came to defect, the princes of the city, quickly put down the hanging basket!"

···

In the end, three hanging baskets were put down on the head of the city, and the three of Xu You's master and servant also entered Jinyang City without danger, but the mounts of the three were shot by the pursuers who came later, and fell into the muddy water under Jinyang City.

And Xu You's escape into the city also caused a lot of shock among the officials in the city.

These days, seeing that the foundation of Jinyang City is about to collapse, and the reinforcements promised by Cao Yuan have not arrived, the city guards are already panicked, coupled with the long-term siege in the city, the shortage of grain, grass, and firewood, the spread of various diseases, and the continuous emergence of small-scale riots in the army.

But now, there are important advisers of the enemy army outside the city who claim to abandon the darkness and flee into the city to join themselves, which is really too appalling.

In addition to the surprise, the remaining defenders of the city also had a rare morale boost, and everyone in the city was thinking, whether the enemy army outside the city had civil strife, or the hussar general's army had arrived!

···

And the state of the history of the house, the lobby.

"Mr. is frightened when he enters the city, please go to the wing room to rest for a while, and there are some things to ask Mr. about later."

Cao Yuan, who was wearing armor and had a haggard face, smiled and said to Xu You, who had already changed into a robe.

"If you don't dare to be, then you will retire first."

Xu You also seems to be not very satisfied with the skeptical attitude of the guard general Cao Yuan. In his opinion, with his own defection, Yan Jun knows the reality of the enemy army in Hebei well, and this battle can be said to be nine out of ten, even if Yan Xing is here, it is not an exaggeration to condescend to Corporal Lixian and personally greet him, but he is a small general, and he dares to doubt himself, which is really too much.

Moreover, the weakness of the soldiers and horses in Jinyang City also made Xu You feel remorseful, maybe he should have risked going north or south instead of entering the city, once Jinyang City fell before Yan Xing's army arrived, wouldn't all his plans be in vain.

Xu You's heart was filled with bitterness, but now that he was in the city and under the fence, he couldn't show his true thoughts. Xu You could only agree obediently, and under the leadership of Cao Yuan's own soldiers, he turned around and left.

"Mr. Xu, you can come out!"

Cao Yuan watched Xu Yu leave, and then let Xu Shu, who was hiding behind the hall, come out.

"Mr. Xu, look at these words, is there any fraud in them?"

Hearing this, Xu Shu shook his head.

The Hebei enemy army outside the city besieged Jinyang City, and after several months did not retreat, and then diverted water to pour Jinyang City, showing a posture of not capturing Jinyang and vowing not to give up. Now that the fall of Jinyang City is imminent, Yuan Shao and others really don't need to add snakes, and then let people enter the city to lure Cao Yuan into battle, and it is even more impossible to take the life of Xu You, an important strategist in the army, for this reason.

Therefore, what Xu Yu said, Xianbei Kebi was able to invade Daijun and Shanggu, the Wuhuan soldiers were panicked, Yan Xing led the army to defeat Cao's army in Henan, and was about to send troops to rescue Jinyang City, etc., most of which were true.

It's just that for Cao Yuan in Jinyang City, knowing these things is useless except to boost morale and boost the morale of the army.

You must know that the officials in Jinyang City are still trapped in the lonely city by a large number of Hebei troops.

Therefore, even if Cao Yuan knew the reality of Yuan's deployment and the other party's grain storage, everything would be useless. At present, if the soldiers in the city defend Jinyang, they can still survive for some time, once they go to war, I am afraid that before they can take the battle, the extremely weak soldiers will scatter and flee in front of the Hebei army with many soldiers and horses.

Unless, the Shangdang or Hanoi direction can make a breakthrough.

However, according to Xu You, Xu Huang and Ma Lin of the Shangdang were trapped in Huguan, Zhang Liao confronted Wen Chou, Jiang Yiqu was stationed in Chaoge, and Yan Xing's army was still assembled in Hedong······

The current dilemma is that the army that has obtained important information does not have the strength to fight, and the army that still has the strength to fight is too far away from Xu Yu, an important enemy camp, to know and use the important enemy information he has brought to him.

Cao Yuan, who was thinking hard about countermeasures, frowned, in fact, he still had one last way to contact the outside world, but he hadn't decided whether to use it in advance because of Xu Yu's words. And Xu Shu also saw Cao Yuan's hesitant heart, he thought for a while, and suddenly said:

"General, the matter has come to this, so I simply believe that Xu Yu once. And I have already thought of a method that can be used to verify the truth of what Xu Yu said! ”
