Zhang Lang was silent; Huang Yueying lowered her head, looking absent-minded; Zhuge Liang smiled and shook his feather fan gently.

Xun You saw that the three of them looked like they didn't know whether they were okay or not, so he simply picked out and said: "His Majesty the Son of Heaven is now under threat from Yuan Shao in the north, and I hope that the general will fight up the army to get rid of the violence!" Zhuge Liang smiled, "Gongda's words are a bit deceitful. Yuan Shao IV and the third duke of the north, this time the cavalry went south, playing the banner of the side of the Qing monarch of the Fuhan Chamber, how did it become ferocious? As a general, my lord should have set out to attack Cao with Yuan Shao, but because he had just swept the Western Regions, his strength was greatly damaged, so he could not send troops! ”

Xun You's face changed, "Kong Ming's words are wrong!" The lord of my family helped the Han family to fall immediately, and the Son of Heaven was grateful, and canonized my lord as the prime minister of the dynasty and the prime minister! Yuan Shao's essay is just a lie to deceive the world, Kong Ming is a wise and resourceful man, how can he not know the truth? This is male. For private reasons, if my lord is merged by Yuan Shao, the strength of the general is unimaginable, and at that time, the general will definitely be in trouble! We and the general are now dependent on each other, if we collapse, the general is afraid that he will not be able to be safe! ”

Zhuge Liang smiled slightly, "As a Hanchen, I don't talk about selfishness, only about public affairs." The Son of Heaven was originally the emperor in Chang'an, and Cao Cao took advantage of my lord's army to send troops to instigate the rebels to rob the holy car. For example, today the son is in Xuchang, named the emperor, but he is actually a prisoner! Cao Cao is a Han Xiang, but he is really a thief! This is obvious to everyone in the world, so don't deceive yourself! The general is a pillar of the Han Dynasty, how can he unite with the Han thieves? ”

Xun You frowned, looked at Zhang Lang, clenched his fists and asked, "What did the general say?" ”

Zhang Lang said lightly: "What Kong Ming said is what I mean!" However, for the sake of Cao Cao's alliance with me, I can not help Yuan Shao! Whether he lives or dies, rises or falls, it depends on his own ability! ”

Xun You smiled bitterly, "That's fine." He stood up and walked to the hall, hugged his fists at Zhang Lang and said, "Retire below." ”

Zhang Lang said: "Kong Ming will send Mr. Gongda for me." ”

Kong Ming immediately got up, made a gesture of invitation, and then the two left together.

Huang Yueying glanced at Xun You's distant back and muttered, "This Cao Cao is really like a ghost!" ”

Zhang Lang was curious: "How do you say this?" ”

Huang Yueying looked at Zhang Lang and said with a smile: "With Cao Cao's resourcefulness, you should know that it is impossible to achieve the goal of sending this envoy!" But he did it anyway? ”

Zhang Lang nodded, "Yes, why did he send someone to make people despise him?" ”

Huang Yueying smiled slightly, her beautiful eyes flashed with wisdom, "Because making people despise is what he wants!" He's playing for Yuan Shao! ”

Zhang Lang was stunned for a moment, and somewhat understood, "You mean, Cao Cao used this method to raise Yuan Shao's arrogant soldiers?" ”

Huang Yueying nodded, "Exactly!" ”

After Xun You left the General's Mansion, he returned to the inn and set off immediately. A few days later, he returned to Xuchang and said with a ashamed face: "Lord, my subordinates are incompetent and have failed to complete their mission!" ”

Cao Cao laughed, "Gongda did a great job!" Why blame yourself? ”

Xun You looked puzzled.

Guo Jia, who was standing on the side, smiled and said, "The lord has long known that it is impossible for Lu Bu to unite with our army. He must have said something high-sounding, right? ”

Xun You nodded, and said angrily: "That slave with the third surname is actually ashamed to say that he is a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, and that the lord is ......" glanced at Cao Cao and didn't dare to continue. Cao Cao laughed, "He must have scolded me for being a thief!" Is that right? Lu Bu, I like this person more and more! I used to really look at him, and I thought he was just a puppet, but now it seems that he is really similar to me! ”

The nation is smiling. Xun You hurriedly said: "Lord, don't talk about Lu Bu, let's think about how to deal with Yuan Shao!" ”

Cao Cao stood up, walked down the steps, patted Xun You on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Yuan Shao must have learned now, my envoy went to Luoyang, asked Lu Bu for help, and received the news of being ridiculed." He must have gotten even more carried away! Glancing at Xun You, "This is what I want!" He patted Xun You's shoulder and strode outside, "Let's go." Xun You hurriedly asked, "Where is the lord going?" ”

"Guandu!"

……

At about the same time, Yuan Shao learned the news that the envoy sent by Cao Cao to Luoyang had returned to Xuchang in a gloomy manner, and laughed: "Cao Apu actually went down to ask Lu Bu for help in a low voice, it seems that he is about to lose his hand!" ”

Xu You stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Cao Cao, this is a rush to the doctor!" I couldn't resist our army, so I actually went to ask Lu Bu. Lu Bu had just conquered the Western Regions, and now even if he had the heart, he was powerless, and even if he could send troops, would he dare to fight against the lord's million bears? ”

Yuan Shao laughed proudly.

Tian Feng frowned and said: "I don't think things are so simple, this may be Cao Cao's plan!" ”

Xu Yu scoffed: "What scheme?" It's a poor skill! For so many days, Cao Jun has suffered successive defeats, and now he is trapped in Guandu; There is also intelligence that Cao Cao's grain and grass are already very scarce. Cao Cao is poor in donkey skills! Chao Yuan Shao hugged his fist, "Lord, when will you wait if you don't attack at this time?" ”

Yuan Shao thought so, glanced at the generals, and raised his voice: "Yan Liang listens to the order!" ”

A general with heavy armor, a leopard's head and a wolf's waist, and a face full of steel needles and beards immediately stepped forward: "The last general." ”

"You immediately lead 100,000 soldiers and horses, force the river from the downstream of Guandu, and outflank the enemy!" "No."

"The rest of the armies marched forward with the banner of the commander and defeated Cao Cao!" The generals agreed in unison.

Early the next morning, Yuan Shao's army divided into two routes. The main army was personally led by Yuan Shao to cross the Yellow River from the front of Guandu, and the army of 7.8 million attacked Yanjin, Pingqiu, and Wuchao at the same time. Cao's army and Yuan Shao's army fought a great battle, and they were outnumbered and retreated one after another. At the same time, Yan Liangshuai's 100,000 troops crossed the Yellow River from the downstream Baima frontal force, and encountered Xiahou Xuan's department, a big battle, just when the melee was fighting, a red-faced and long-haired general carrying the Qinglong Yanyue knife rushed into the military formation, as if entering a no-man's land. Yan Liang was taken aback when he saw this, reined in his war horse, and raised his voice and asked, "Who is coming?" ”

However, the other party didn't answer at all, and rushed straight over, and in a blink of an eye, he waved the Qinglong Yanyue Knife with a loud shout. Yan Liang was shocked and hurriedly wanted to resist, but it was too late, and he was cut in two by the other party.

Yuan Shaojun's soldiers were terrified. Xiahoudun took the opportunity to lead the army to rush and kill, defeated Yuan Shao's army with one drum, and ambushed the corpse for dozens of miles.

Seeing this, everyone should have guessed that this fierce general who beheaded Yan Liang was Liu Bei's second brother Guan Yu. Since the loss of Xiangyang, Liu Bei's three brothers defected to Cao Cao with a group of remnants of defeated soldiers.
