Late at night, Lu Bu, who was sleeping soundly in the tent, woke up Dian Wei.

"What?" Lu Bu knew that unless he encountered something important, Dian Wei would not wake him up at such a time.

"My lord, Xu You, a strategist under Yuan Shao, is asking to see him outside the tent." Dian Wei lowered his voice.

"Where are the people, please hurry up, no, Ben Hou will go to greet him personally." Lu Bu was overjoyed when he heard this, and said in an eager tone.

Dian Wei wanted to speak and stopped, Lu Bu behaved so badly, which was somewhat inconsistent with his identity.

Walking out of the big tent, Lu Bu saw a black wrapped figure, a little bleak in the autumn wind.

"Ziyuan, please come in quickly." Lu Bu said with a smile.

Xu You's heart warmed, Lu Bu personally walked out of the big tent to greet him in such a late night, and the importance of him can be seen, in the eyes of outsiders, Lu Bu is arrogant, but he saw something different from Lu Bu's body.

After entering the account, Xu You did not mention what happened to the Xu family in the city, but Lu Bu was such a shrewd person, and he understood Xu You's choice when Xu You arrived.

Lu Bu said with a smile: "If Ziyuan comes, then Benhou Poye City is not far away." ”

Xu You arched his hand and said: "Ye Hou is not benevolent, so you can do this strategy." ”

Lu Budao: "Yuan Shao is wide on the outside and jealous on the inside, he is not a virtuous lord, and he has a son to help him, and this Hou will definitely be able to pacify Jizhou." ”

"I also hope that after the Marquis of Jin captures Jizhou, he will be able to treat the people of the Xu family well." Xu You said with burning eyes, if Lu Bu couldn't come up with enough things to make Xu You's heart move, he wouldn't give in.

Lu Bu was silent for a moment and said: "The family under the rule of Ben Hou, I think Zi Yuan has also heard of it, as long as the people of the Xu family can follow the rules, Ben Hou will definitely not be embarrassed, this is Ben Hou's bottom line." ”

Although Xu You was a little surprised in his heart, he understood that Lu Bu's words were sincere, otherwise, Lu Bu only needed to appease him now, and promised to make a big profit, even if he reversed his word in the future, no one would complain for the Xu family.

"Marquis of Jin, the Xu family needs to do business in Jizhou." Xu Youdao.

"Yes, Ben Hou will set up a chamber of commerce in Jizhou, if the Xu family has a suitable candidate, it can be recommended to come, for people of insight, Ben Hou is very welcome." Lu Bu nodded.

Seeing Lu Bu staring at him, Xu You got up and saluted solemnly: "Xu You greets the lord." ”

Lu Bu helped Xu You up and said: "Ziyuan will be a strategist under Benhou in the future, there is no need for so much courtesy, and there will be many places that rely on Ziyuan in the future." ”

Xu You heard that he was greatly useful, and a trace of self-satisfaction flashed between his expressions, in terms of strategy, he asked himself not to lose to the world's strategists, and after arriving in the state, he could not achieve a meritorious deed, so that today's situation, Lu Bu is an absolute advantage, if the alliance of the princes is in the capture of Jizhou, who can stop it, the reason why Xu You chose to let the family do business under the rule of Lu Bu is also to see the huge profits brought by business, businessmen are very valued under the rule of Lu Bu.

The status of merchants in this era is low, if it is possible, Xu You is not willing to choose this way, but under the rule of Lu Bu, the way for the family to continue to expand has been compressed, and the previous development mode is no longer suitable.

"Now that the weather is getting colder, and the state army has been fighting one after another, the soldiers are tired, I don't know what good strategy Ziyuan has to break through Yecheng?" Lu Budao.

Xu You knew that this was the opportunity to perform, if he could break Yecheng under his strategy, he would be a great hero of the annexation state, and he would have some understanding of the system of the annexation state, since he chose to take refuge in Lu Bu, he would not oppose Lu Bu in this regard.

"Lord, although there are tens of thousands of people in Yecheng today, but under the offensive of the Bingzhou army, the hearts of the people in the city are fluctuating, and the family is panicking, and the subordinates ask themselves to have some prestige in the family and the army in the city. Xu Yu said slowly.

Lu Bu nodded and said: "After Ziyuan returns to the city, he should be careful, don't leak the news, even if he can't break through Yecheng, with Ziyuan's help, there is still a chance, for the family in the city, Ziyuan can be kind and relieved, and Benhou will not treat people who have meritorious service to the state." ”

"It is necessary to fulfill the trust of the Lord." Regardless of the truth or falsehood of Lu Bu's words, these words made Xu Yu find a feeling of being trusted when he was lost, in the past, in Yuan Shao's place, he was more thinking about how to please Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shao's indecisive personality made the officials below unable to figure it out, Lu Bu is a world-famous general, and he is much more decisive than Yuan Shao in his actions.

After the two talked freely, Xu You left the Bingzhou army, looking at Yecheng in the dark, a determined look flashed in his eyes, tonight is an important turning point for the Xu family, if he succeeds, the Xu family will be strengthened again, if it fails, the consequence will definitely be the Xu family for his decision to be buried.

The friendship between him and Yuan Shao will not affect Yuan Shao's determination to deal with the Xu family after the Xu family is betrayed, this kind of thing is known to Yuan Shao, and the Xu family will be wiped out.

"Feng Ji, since you are doing this to the Xu family, don't blame the official for being ruthless." Xu You's eyes narrowed slightly.

Although what happened to the Xu family caused a lot of turmoil in Yecheng, but now after the matter is over, there is no counterattack of the Xu family, which makes some families who have a good relationship with the Xu family have doubts about Xu You, and Feng Ji took the opportunity to win over a group of families who originally moved closer to the Xu family, and the strength of the family has been further strengthened.

No matter what changes there are in Yecheng, the situation in Yecheng is still a little dangerous at this time, and under the attack of the state army and the Youzhou army day and night, the moat has been filled, and during the period of filling the moat, the losses of the state army and the Youzhou army are very small.

The defenders of Yecheng will not be able to occupy an advantage in the defense equipment, so they will be in a passive position, especially the kind of thunderbolt with a range of 500 paces in the Bingzhou army, which makes the defenders of the city frightened.

The rumbling war drums suddenly sounded outside Yecheng, and the state army began an attack on Yecheng, the momentum of the attack on Yecheng was absolutely huge, and Zhang He was appointed as the general to defend the city and appeared on the head of the city.

At the critical moment in Jizhou, Zhang He showed not weak ability, whether it was in leading troops or strategy, he showed an outstanding side, and gradually became trusted by Yuan Shao.

At the beginning, with Yan Liang and Wen Chou in the Jizhou Army, it was impossible for ordinary generals to really gain Yuan Shao's trust, even if Yan Liang repeatedly failed in the battle against the Zhou Army, he still could not change his status in Yuan Shao's heart, which caused the dissatisfaction of the generals in the army to a certain extent.
