Chapter 246: Internal Friction

Guo Tu came back and met Yuan Shao in the big tent. Yuan Shao said with a smile: "It's just the right time for the prince to come back!" Just now, Ziyuan said that Cao Cao's military camp is running out of grain and grass, and I intend to immediately divide my troops to rob the grain road! What do you think? Guo Tu smiled coldly, clenched his fists and said: "Lord, Xu You's move is to trap our army and a place where there is no return!" Yuan Shao was shocked, "Why is this?" Guo Tu said: "That Cao Cao, the traitor of the world!" How could something as important as grain and grass be known to Xu Yu? ”

Yuan Shao said: "Ziyuan led the sergeant to patrol tonight and intercepted the messenger sent by Cao Cao to Xuchang to urge grain, so he learned. Guo Tu hurriedly said: "This is even more suspicious!" And how did Xu You know when Cao Cao would send the messenger from? ”

When Yuan Shao heard this, he couldn't help but be suspicious.

Guo Tu continued: "My subordinates heard that Xu Yu had an extremely close relationship with Cao Cao when he was a child! The subordinates were worried that Cao Cao would give Xu You any benefits, so that Xu You secretly betrayed the lord and secretly helped Cao Cao! ”

Yuan Shao was taken aback, "This, no." Glancing at Guo Tu, "Do you have any evidence?" ”

Guo Tu said: "The subordinates are just worried, but there is no evidence!" Maybe Xu You didn't collude with Cao Cao, but it's hard to guarantee that Cao Cao won't use Xu You to frame the lord! The lord must not be guarded against! Yuan Shaoshen thought so, frowned and said: "Cao Apu has always been cunning, and he really has to guard against it!" ”

The figure at the door flickered, and Xu You came in in a hurry. When he was about to speak, he saw Guo Tu standing below, was stunned, and asked dryly, "Gongzhi?" You're back? Guo Tu bowed to him and said with a smile: "Brother Ziyuan, don't come to harm?" Xu You nodded. Hurriedly hugged his fist at Yuan Shao and said: "Lord, General Zhangjaw's 100,000 army has been prepared, just wait for the lord's order!" ”

Yuan Shao put his hands behind his back, "This, Ziyuan!" I've just thought about it, and I have to be cautious about it! Cao Cao has always been deceitful, and it is hard to guarantee that this is not a ploy of Cao Cao! If our army rashly attacks, I am afraid that it will fall into Cao Cao's way! ”

Xu You was stunned, looked at Guo Tu who was smug on the side, and understood. Hurriedly said to Yuan Shao: "Lord! Cao Jun's lack of food is true, is there any falsehood? ”

Guo Tu sneered: "This is not necessarily! Besides, the relationship between your Xu Ziyuan and Cao Cao is very close! Who knows if you'll be able to play a song with Cao Cao? ”

Xu You was furious, pointed at Guo Tu and scolded: "Guo Tu, don't spew blood!" I Xu Yu studied with Cao Cao when I was a child! However, since serving the lord, I have broken off contact with Cao Cao, and my loyalty to the lord can be seen every day! ”

Yuan Shao laughed and said, "Ziyuan, don't be angry!" I absolutely believe in Ziyuan's loyalty! It's just that the raid on Cao's grain road has to be cautious! If it is calculated by Cao Cao, it will not be good! ”

Xu You hurriedly said: "The lord's concerns are reasonable! But now Cao Cao can't take care of the grain road at all! Cao's army was completely suppressed by our army in Guandu, unable to divide the troops, and our army was completely able to break through its grain route! Cut off its grain route, and there is no food in its camp, it will not take two days, and Cao's army will be in chaos! At that time, our army will attack in an all-round way, and it will be able to sweep away the enemy army with a devastating momentum! The world is decided! ”

Xu You's words made Yuan Shao hesitate again, because what Xu You said was indeed very reasonable.

Guo Tu hurriedly said: "Xu You's statement is completely based on the assumption that the other party's military camp has no food, what if the real situation is not the case? Xu You said angrily: "What does it mean that the real situation is not like this? In the past few days, we have been fighting with the Cao army, and the Cao army has a good face, and the offensive is not as sharp as before, and the war horses are obviously not strong enough! Combined with the information intercepted tonight, I can assert that there is less than a day's worth of grain and grass in Cao's camp! ”

Guo Tu sneered: "The reason why Cao's offensive is not as good as before is simply because of the result of fierce battles with our army for days, how can it be because of lack of food?" As for tonight's information, hum, Xu You, isn't it because you and Cao Cao colluded! ”

Xu You was furious, pointed at Guo Tu's nose and asked, "Guo Tu, what do you mean by being so credible?" Could it be that Cao Cao has already bought you? Guo Tu scolded loudly: "The one who colluded with Cao Cao is clearly you Xu Zhiyuan!" "The grain and grass are noisy and scolding, and Yuan Shao is noisy and big, I don't know what to do." Ok ok! Don't make a fuss, both of you! ”

The two stopped arguing, but glared at each other like angry roosters.

Yuan Shao rubbed his forehead, he believed that the two of them were finally on their own, but he hesitated whether to send an army or not, he felt that what the two of them said was reasonable, and he didn't know what to do for a while.

At this moment, the judge who was supposed to rush the grain and grass came in. glanced at Xu You, and hugged his fist at Yuan Shao: "Lord." ”

As if he had seen a savior, Yuan Shao hurriedly shouted: "Judge, you are finally back!" There's something in front of me, you can help me decide! ”

The judge hurriedly hugged his fists and said: "Lord, there are important confidential matters that need to be reported to his subordinates!" The eyes looked at the sides, and the meaning was clear.

Yuan Shao raised his voice and said: "That Ziyuan, the public rule, you can go out for the time being." The two gave up muttering in their hearts, hugged their fists at Yuan Shao, and withdrew from the big tent. As soon as they came out of the big tent, they glared at each other and didn't look over.

The judge took out a letter from his sleeve cage and presented it to Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao took it and looked at it, furious, "How dare Xu You do this?" Then he became suspicious and glanced at the trial, "Is this true?" It can't be hearsay, right? The judge hugged his fists and said: "This matter is true! There is human and material evidence, and Xu You's son has also confessed, saying that the interception of taxes and greedy grain and grass materials is all due to Xu You's instructions, and it is to build a new mansion for Xu You. The subordinates have personally seen it, Xu Yu's new mansion is magnificent and magnificent, and it is not much better than the mansion of the lord! ”

Yuan Shao was furious, "Xu You'an dares to do this? I will not spare him! ”

The judge hurriedly said: "Lord, you have to be cautious in this matter!" Now that he is fighting with Cao Cao, if he asks for the guilt, it will be disadvantageous to the army! It's not too late to deal with it after Cao Cao is defeated! Yuan Shaoshen nodded approvingly. He looked up and said to the soldier standing on one side, "Let the two gentlemen come in." The soldiers immediately went out and summoned Xu You and Guo Tu.

Yuan Shao glanced at Xu You.

Xu You saw Yuan Shao's eyes, and couldn't help but chuckle in his heart.

Yuan Shao said: "I have thought about it carefully! Cao Cao is a cunning person, and the matter of grain and grass must be Cao Cao's trap, so stop this matter! ”

Xu You was shocked and hurriedly persuaded: "Lord, if you miss such a great opportunity, you will regret it too late!" ”

Yuan Shao slapped the desk and scolded angrily: "Isn't it too late for you to put my head on Cao Cao's desk?" Xu You was stunned by his mother.
