Cao Shuo and Xu You talked a few words, and Xu You asked, "Is Cao Gong here?" ”

"My father should have rested." Cao Shuo said: "I will send someone to report it, if he knows that Xu Gong is here, he will definitely be full of joy." ”

"Childe, don't you ask me why I'm here?" Since Cao Shuo saw him, he hadn't asked him what he wanted to do here, Xu You couldn't help but ask with some doubts.

"Xu Gong came to our army's barracks late at night, isn't it to serve?" Cao Shuo smiled slightly: "Knowing Xu Gong's intentions, why should I tell you before you see your father?" ”

Xu You was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "It's still a son." ”

When the two of them were talking, Cai Ji and Wei Tu, who were following behind Cao Shuo, did not look very good.

At this moment, Cao Cao, who got the news, ran over barefoot.

Seeing Xu You, Cao Cao actually bowed down and said: "I don't know that my son is far away here, it's too late to greet him, and I hope to forgive my sins!" ”

Cao Cao suddenly gave a big gift, which stunned Xu You.

He hurriedly returned the salute, but his eyes fell on Cao Cao's bare feet: "Cao Gong...... This ......"

"I had fallen asleep just now, and I heard that Ziyuan was coming, where do you dare to slack off." Cao Cao said: "No, I didn't even have time to put on my shoes, so I ran out." ”

Cao Cao's answer made Xu You's heart suddenly swell with an indescribable taste.

He was humiliated by Yuan Shao at Yuan's house, and when he came here, Cao Cao actually ran out barefoot to greet him.

The difference in treatment between the two sides is also too far.

"This is not the place to talk." Cao Cao stepped forward and took Xu You's hand: "Let's go into the tent and talk." ”

Cao Cao led Xu You to the handsome tent, Cao Shuo grabbed Xu Chu who was following them, and asked in a low voice: "Father really slept just now?" ”

"The war has been going on recently, how could Cao Gong sleep so early." Xu Chu whispered: "I heard that Xu You was coming, Cao Gong actually took off his shoes and ran all the way out. ”

Cao Shuo's head was suddenly covered with black lines.

It turned out that Cao Cao stomped to greet Xu You, not that he really didn't have time to put on his shoes, but that he deliberately took off his shoes and put on an attitude of a corporal of courtesy.

"No one can say anything about this, especially not Xu You." Cao Shuo lowered his voice and said to Xu Chu: "My father didn't greet me when he discussed things with him, and I can't go with him, Brother Zhongkang can find an opportunity to tell me the results of their discussion later." ”

"Don't worry, Childe, when I send Xu You out, I will tell all the things that Cao Gong discussed with him." Xu Chu arched his hand and said, "I want to serve by Cao Gong's side, so I won't talk to Gongzi." ”

After Xu Chu left, Cai Ji spat and scolded: "What kind of thing is Xu You, he dares to be rude to his son!" ”

"He doesn't seem to be so rude." Cao Shuo smiled slightly and asked Cai Ji, "Where did you get your righteous indignation?" ”

"It's also a shame that Childe can bear him." Cai Ji said: "The staff of the Yuan family, talking to the son is actually arrogant, just now I really wanted to cut him with a sword." ”

"When my father was employing people, I didn't say much about it." Cao Shuo reminded: "Don't let Xu You hear it." ”

"Is Childe also dissatisfied with this person?" Wei Tu saw something and asked Cao Shuo in a low voice.

"I still know a little bit about Xu You's person." Cao Shuo said: "This person is arrogant, if he is really just as arrogant as Mi Heng, I don't think so, the key is that he is still very greedy." When I went to Yecheng before, I heard people say that Xu Yu indulged his family to bully the people, because he was a member of the Yuan family, so no one dared to do anything to him. This time he came to vote for his father, he must have been wronged in the Yuan family. A person like him who changes his lord after being wronged, if it were you, would you dare to use him? ”

Cai Ji and Wei Tu looked at each other in amazement, both of them at a loss.

Wei Tu asked, "What does Childe mean ......?"

"This person can use it, he can reuse it, but he can't use it often." Cao Shuo said: "My father has been employing people for many years, so of course he understands this truth. ”

"In other words, sooner or later, I will be able to cut down this arrogant and impertinent thing?" Cai Ji asked Cao Shuo.

"You?" Cao Shuo smiled and shook his head: "Don't think about it, you don't have that chance, before you can do it, someone has already done it!" ”

Cao Cao took Xu You to the tent.

It wasn't until dawn the next day that Xu Chu came to see Cao Shuo with dark circles under his eyes.

Cao Shuo, who had just woken up, rubbed his sleepy eyes and asked Xu Chu, "Brother Zhongkang got up so early?" ”

"What's up?" Xu Chu said: "I don't know how Xu You can talk so much, and he actually dragged Cao Gong to talk for most of the night." I sent him back to sleep, but Cao Gong was not sleepy at all, and asked me to find several generals to talk. After the matter was done, I came to Childe's place. ”

"Did Xu You offer his father a plan to break the Yuan family?" Cao Shuo asked.

"It's okay if Childe doesn't mention Xu You." Xu Chu waved his hand and said, "This person is full of assumptions. As soon as he saw Cao Gong, he asked Cao Gong how much grain and grass he still had in his army. Cao Gong told the truth, the grain and grass in the army can be eaten for three months. But he didn't believe it, and in the end, Cao Gong had no choice but to tell him that he could eat for three days, and he actually believed it! ”

"Did he still say that he had suggested that Yuan Shao send troops to bypass the army and go straight to Xudu?" Cao Shuo asked again.

"How does Childe know?" Xu Chu was stunned and asked rhetorically.

"Huo Wu reported it to me at the beginning, saying that Xu Yu had such a proposal, but I just thought it was funny, so I didn't report it to my father." Cao Shuo said: "Although the main force of our army is in Guandu, Xu Du has Xun Gong and others in charge, and the soldiers defending the city are not weak. If you want to break through Xudu, I'm afraid it's more difficult than defeating the army. ”

"That's what Childe said." Xu Chu said: "I just think it's a little strange, Xu You said this, Cao Gong not only did not refute it, but followed him everywhere, as if he was like a god." ”

"Brother Zhongkang, have you heard what to do when grooming donkeys?" Cao Shuo asked suddenly.

Xu Chu was stunned by his question: "What do you mean by Childe?" ”

"If you groom a donkey, you have to follow it." Cao Shuo said: "If you groom it against the grain, it will not only be unhappy, but will also have to kick you." ”

"It seems that Cao Gong has thoroughly touched Xu You's temperament." Xu Chu said: "The most annoying thing is not these, the most hateful thing is that Xu You actually instigated Cao Gong to personally lead the troops to fight the black nest." said that as long as the Wuchao was broken, the Yuan family would lose this battle. ”

"His proposal makes sense." Cao Shuo said: "He suggested that my father go to fight the Wuchao, it must be because the Wuchao is the place where the Yuan family hoards grain and grass. My father led his troops to attack there, and Yuan's army would definitely attack the main formation of our army in a big way. Compared with the two, it is more safe for my father to attack the black nest. ”
