Chapter 357: Guo Tu is dead
By the time dawn, Cao Cao's military horses had already occupied the entire city of Wuchao, and most of the military horses in the city died with Yan Liangwen and Chou, and the remaining thousand people also fled with Gao Lan.
Cao Cao ordered the whole army to plant the banner of the word "Cao" all over the city of Wuchao, just confronting Yuan Shao's military horses in Guandu, in fact, there is no need for Cao Cao to be so public, Yuan Shao has long known about the defeat of Wuchao!
Yuan Shao was anxious like burning ants in Guandu City, and kept playing in circles in the humble mansion, and several people had already come to report, first saying that Yan Liangwen and the second general were dead, and then Gao Ran abandoned the city and fled, and then the black nest was occupied by the Cao army!
"Shut up!" Yuan Shao wanted to draw his sword to kill, but when the sword blade came, he was stopped by a voice, and Yuan Shao regarded it as Guo Tu!
When Yuan Shao saw Guo Tu, he suddenly withdrew the sword in his hand, and then said happily: "Since the public rule has come, when there is a good plan, how can the dilemma be solved at this time?" ”
Guo Tu's expression was grim, he walked to Yuan Shao's side, and said: "Wuchao is occupied, it should be Xu Yu's responsibility, if there is no such person to fornicate with Cao thief, can Wuchao be lost?" ”
When Yuan Shao heard this, he shouted loudly: "It's all Xu Yu who is secretly making ghosts, where is this person, if you don't kill this person, it's hard to solve the hatred in my heart!" ”
Yuan Shao ordered, a few soldiers had already brought Xu Yu from the prison, and when Xu You saw Yuan Shao, he laughed on the spot: "If you don't listen to me, you should be in trouble!" ”
Yuan Shao was furious, the sword in his hand had not yet been sheathed, and he was about to slash at Xu You, but at this moment, Guo Tu smiled and said: "The lord doesn't have to be like this, the prince has another plan!" ”
Yuan Shao asked suspiciously, "What is the strategy?" ”
Guo Tu said with a smile: "Since Mr. Xu You collaborated with Cao Cao, you might as well take Mr. Xu You as a hostage at this moment, maybe you can blackmail Cao Cao!" ”
Yuan Shao was dumbfounded: "With Xu Yu alone, how can he blackmail Cao Cao?" ”
"Give it a try!" Guo Tu said lightly.
The city of Guandu, although there is a natural danger, but there is no black nest to protect it, it is just a live target, and at this moment, Cao Cao's soldiers and horses have long besieged the city, besieged but not attacked!
In a short time, a down-and-out man dragged out of the wall of Guandu City, it was Xu Youqi, and the soldiers on the side shouted to the city: "Xu You is here, if Cao Cao does not retreat, I am afraid that Xu You will die!" ”
A sergeant had already spread the news to Cao Cao's ears, and Cao Cao was immediately shocked, and said to Xun Yu on the left and right: "How can this happen? ”
Xun Yu said disapprerovingly: "The lord is the prime minister's noble, I'm afraid it will be difficult to understand the villain's heart, Wen Ruo heard that this Guo Tu and Xu Yu have always been incompatible, so it is normal to have this matter!" ”
Cao Cao suddenly smiled, "Wen Ruo's words, it is difficult for Guo Tu to tolerate it!" ”
Xun Yu said yes, and said: "The lord sent a fake letter to Guo Tu's mansion in Guandu City, falsely saying that Xu Yu colluded with Cao Jun, and the biggest beauty is that Guo Tu really reached a consensus with the lord, just by means of this plan, he wants to cover up and divide Xu Yu, and the lord cherishes Xu Yu's talent, so he secretly ordered Guo Tu to leave Xu Yu's life, since the lord wants to leave Xu You, he must want to reuse, and think that Guo Tu will help the lord win Hebei with his own strength, and when the time comes, he will be rewarded for merit, but it may not be higher than Xu Yu. That's why there is this killer! ”
Xun Yu explained the cause and effect in one sentence, and Cao Cao also understood, so he said: "What can I do now? ”
Xun Yu laughed, and said: "The lord surrounds and does not fight, so he intends to make chaos in the official, but at this time, he will take the opportunity to do it!" ”
Cao Cao made a look of wishing to hear about it, but Xun Yu said: "Guo Tu is unusable, and it is a disaster to keep it, why don't you use Yuan Shao's hand to kill Guo Tu!" ”
Cao Cao smiled: "This plan is wonderful! ”
Cao Cao's army and horses then retreated for several miles, and Cao Cao himself was born to shout in Guandu City: "If you dare to hurt Xu You, I, Cao Cao, will definitely slaughter the city to vent my hatred!" ”
Yuan Shao heard the news and said that this plan worked, and Cao Cao's military horse also retreated a few miles, and even said with great joy: "Reward Guo Tu, reward Guo Tu!" ”
In fact, Guo Tu's strategy is really risky, because if he wants to kill Xu Youqi, he can start secretly, there is no need to do it so obviously, and Cao Cao's reaction is really much beyond Guo Tu's expectations, originally Guo Tu thought that Cao Cao and his people were heroic, and they would definitely not give up the siege because of Xu You alone, if Cao Cao attacked the city, Yuan Shao would inevitably be angry with Xu You, so Xu You would die, and now Cao Cao actually retreated for several miles, which really surprised Guo Tu!
If this person is left, when Cao Cao occupies Hebei, he will definitely not have the benefits of Guo Tu, so Guo Tu is already secretly calculating, how to kill Xu You without missing a trace.
When Guo Tu was secretly pondering, an arrow had already been shot on the city of Guandu and landed on the edge of the city, and a soldier felt strange and heard the people under the city shouting: "This is a letter from my lord to Yuan Shao, who dares to slack off?" ”
The one who shouted was holding a longbow in his right hand and hooking his left hand, but his left eye was empty!
The little soldier who had picked up the arrow had already sunk in fright, and almost fell to the ground, even though he was in a hurry, ran into the city.
Yuan Shao saw a feather arrow with a letter on it, so he secretly thought: "Could it be that Cao Cao wants to withdraw his troops and exchange the city for Xu Yu's life!" ”
In the midst of being proud, Yuan Shao had already torn open the letter, and when he looked at it carefully, he was already furious, and even shouted: "Someone! Bring me Mr. Guo Tu! ”
The soldiers didn't know what they meant, thinking that the lord Yuan Shao was going to discuss military affairs with Guo Tu again, and he sent the order to Guo Tu's mansion.
When Guo Tu heard the news, he didn't care, but said to a few dancing girls in the house: "My lord, when you come back in the evening, you will come back to serve!" ”
When Guo Tu saw Yuan Shao, he bowed down and said, "I've seen the lord!" ”
Guo Tu lowered his body and couldn't see Yuan Shao's face, but he had a plan in his heart, after all, he had been in Hebei for several years!
"Bold Guo Tu, since you dare to collaborate with Cao Cao privately, the crime is unforgivable!" Yuan Shao shouted.
Guo Tu was surprised, and when he straightened up, he replied: "Why did the lord say this, I, Guo Tu, am loyal to the lord!" ”
When Yuan Shao saw Guo Tu get up, he shouted: "Someone! Take this man down for me! Taking advantage of the situation, Yuan Shao had already thrown a long letter in his hand in front of Guo Tu, and then asked sharply: "Let's see if this is your handwriting?" ”
Guo Tu has been pressed to the ground by the two of them, and when he looks over, he just sees the letter thrown by Yuan Shao, it doesn't matter if he doesn't look at it, when he looks at it, this Guo Tu already looks sluggish!
"Impossible! That's impossible! Guo Tu also shouted loudly, but Yuan Shao was angry, "Escort me down and behead the public!" ”
Guo Tu would never have expected that the letter of his fornication with Cao Cao would fall into the hands of Yuan Shao, and in that letter, Guo Tu was already like a flattering fox, asking Cao Cao for favor and merit, and in exchange for it, Guo Tu wanted to help Cao Cao take the land of Hebei!
Yuan Shao's ending, Guo Tu can also see it as a person who is not too smart, so he has already arranged his next family, never thought that this family would betray him to the former master, Guo Tu secretly hated, Yuan Shao is a bad seed, Cao Cao is a good person, but he died in the hands of the bad seed in the end, what a great irony!
Guo Tu still wanted to struggle, but a long knife had already been neatly chopped down, and at that moment, Guo Tu was the first to break up, splashing a pool of blood!
Guo Tu's head rolled down the city, but Cao Cao saw it, Nai Dalu smiled and said: "Shoot me another arrow at the city wall, Nai Yan will surrender!" ”
Xiahoudun gestured, and a feathered arrow flew out.
When the news of Guo Tu's betrayal was boiling, Yuan Shao received another letter, at this time, Yuan Shao was already frightened, and he expected that there would be no Cao Cao's spies in this Guandu City!
When Yuan Shao read the letter, it was not a flattering letter of collaborating with the enemy, but a letter of surrender, which said: "The defense of a city in Liu'er, no soldiers, no generals, no strategy and no courage, dare to confront the imperial army, if you can hand over the jade seal of the country, I Cao Cao will protect your life!" ”
Yuan Shao said angrily: "Arrogant boy, I was the head of the horse back then, and now I dare to drink and make me Yuan Shao surrender, wouldn't it be ......" When Yuan Shao exited, he realized that he was in a situation, where was there still the momentum of the general alliance leader of the Eighteenth Route Alliance, and then withered!
In the land of Hebei, there are outstanding people and spirits, and he is known as a virtuous and brave general, but it is a pity that he Yuan Shao has no ability to know people, and he guards Hebei empty, and he is actually plotted by Cao Cao, which is difficult to resist. Yuan Shao sighed, and even called out to his three sons to come.
Yuan Shao has three sons, the eldest son Yuan Tan, the second son Yuan Xi, and the third son Yuan Shang, at that time Yuan Shao called his three sons and instructed: "In today's situation, it is difficult to protect the official crossing, and I am afraid that my Yuan family will be killed by Cao Cao, so I called Er and the other three, intending to escort Er and others to break through, and when the time comes, go to Jingzhou and take refuge in Liu Biao!" ”
The third son was slightly sad, but Yuan Shao shouted: "I, the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family, will definitely make a comeback!" ”
Yuan Shao seemed to have a hatred, summoned a hundred soldiers and horses, and shouted: "You and others escort the three sons out of the city, there is no room for loss!" ”
In fact, Yuan Shao's intention has been decided, and the reason why he wants to send his third son out of the city is that he has already expected his end!
Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi walked away in a sad way, but Yuan Shao grabbed his youngest son Yuan Shang and secretly stuffed a yellow cloth wrapped bag into Yuan Shang's arms.
Among the three sons, Yuan Shao loved the kid Yuan Shang the most, and he always wanted to make Yuan Shang his heir, but he encountered the opposition of the ministers and hundreds of officials, and the best example was that the first emperor abolished the elder and the young, and only passed on the second.
Forced by the words of the ministers, Yuan Shao has not put the matter of canonizing Yuan Shang on the agenda, but Yuan Shao already has a plan in his heart, and today he handed over the jade seal of the country to Yuan Shang to explain his intentions, but Yuan Shao's arrangement has laid the root of the bane in the future!
