A fast horse rushed to Xudu in the starry night, and in the evening, the fast horse galloped into the city of Xudu.

……

Cao Cao sat in the lobby of the Prime Minister's Mansion and looked at the emergency military information sent by the state, his face changed greatly, and then he returned to normal. The generals didn't realize anything, only Guo Jia, Xun Yu, and Xu You felt that something big might have happened. Xu You wanted to be able to do it in front of everyone, so he clasped his fists at Cao Cao and asked, "Prime Minister, did you have an accident in the state?" ”

Cao Cao was about to speak, and when he heard Xu You's words, he was displeased. said: "The former Baibo army surrendered to Han Xian rebelled, occupied Julu, and rebelled under the banner of revenge for Yuan Shao!" ”

Xu You stroked the goat's whiskers and smiled, "This thief is really damned." Zhao Cao asked for war and said: "Prime Minister, I am willing to go to Julu to exterminate this thief!" ”

Cao Cao glanced at Xu You and asked, "How many men does Ziyuan need to put down this rebellion?" ”

Xu You didn't think about it, and raised a finger: "Only 100,000 elite soldiers!" Suppress the rebellion in January! ”

Cao Cao hesitated, "I can't do without Ziyuan in Xuchang!" Xu Yu was stunned. Cao Cao said to the forbidden: "Wen Zhi," and waited for the ban to go out of the column. Cao Cao said: "I ordered you to lead 150,000 troops to Julu to eliminate Han Xian immediately." Give you two months, if you can't get rid of Han Xian, you will be dealt with by military law. "No." In the forbidden return queue. Xu You silently returned to the queue opposite, with a look of displeasure on his face. Cao Cao glanced at him and didn't say anything.

Guo Jia hugged his fists and said: "Prime Minister, you can order Zhao Yunshuai, the Taishou of Dongjun, to go north with a group of soldiers and horses to deal with General Yu Ban, so as to ensure that nothing goes wrong." Cao Cao nodded, and immediately ordered the clerk to write down the military order, then stamped his big seal, and then summoned the herald to send the military order to Zhao Yun of Dongjun. The herald took the order and left.

After the discussion was dismissed, Guo Jia and Xun Yu accompanied Cao Cao to stroll in the back garden. At this time, it was getting late, the courtyard was lit up, and in the distance, a charming woman with beautiful hair like clouds and a long water-green dress was playing with a child carved in pink. The three of them stopped in the verandah, and Cao Cao looked at the women and children in the water pavilion in the distance with a gentle expression, such a look was extremely rare on the face of this hero.

Cao Cao turned his head and frowned: "Today, Xu Yu actually asked for his life to go on the expedition, which makes me a little uneasy!" ”

Guo Jia and Xun Yu glanced at each other. Xun Yu clenched his fists and asked, "The lord must be worried about the loyalty of Yuan Shao's old ministers?" ”

Cao Cao did not speak.

Xun Yu knew that he had guessed correctly, and said: "Forgive the words of his subordinates, in fact, the problem that the lord is worried about is basically not there, like the people who are ugly and ugly are now loyal to the lord, and there will never be two hearts!" As for Han Xian and his ilk, they were rats and bandits, and they had no choice but to defect to Yuan Shao back then, and now the rebellion can be said to be expected! As for Xu You, "glanced at Cao Cao, "This person is arrogant and rude with some talents, although it is hateful, but there should be no problem with loyalty!" ”

Cao Cao didn't speak, and glanced at Guo Jia. Guo Jia hugged his fists and said: "The views of his subordinates are the same as Wen Ruo's. ”

Cao Cao smiled, "I'm not suspicious of Xu You, I just have scruples." ”

Guo Jia said: "The prime minister is wise, although there is no problem with Xu You's loyalty, but after all, he is Yuan Shao's former minister, and in the face of such a sensitive issue at this moment, he should indeed be avoided, which is also the prime minister's love for him." Cao Cao laughed and said, "Fengxiao knows my heart best." Guo Jia hugged his fists and said: "Prime Minister, my subordinates have an idea, I don't know whether to talk about it or not." Cao Cao immediately said: "Feng Xiao has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

Guo Jiadao: "Prime Minister, my subordinates thought that Xu You could be sent as a grain and grass transfer envoy to escort grain and grass. ”

Cao Cao understood Guo Jia's intentions, nodded with a smile, and said, "Feng Xiao is more thoughtful than me!" That's it! ”

Saying that, Xu You returned home, looked depressed, sat down in the hall, and was silent. Seeing this, the family was worried, but they didn't dare to ask.

The butler rushed in with an officer in a hurry. Seeing Xu You, he hugged his fists and said, "Master, the prime minister sent this military master to summon him." ”

Xu You was surprised in his heart, glanced at the officer, stood up, clenched his fists and asked, "I don't know what the prime minister has to say?" ”

The officer took out an official document and presented it to Xu Yu with both hands, "This is the prime minister's order." ”

Xu You muttered in his heart, took the official document, opened it, and read it. With a happy look on his face, he laughed, "The prime minister still trusts me!" The officer clasped his fists and said: "Please return to the prime minister, the subordinates will not disgrace their mission!" The officer answered, said goodbye to Xu You, and left the back hall.

Xu You looked at the official document in his hand with a happy expression. The family members were puzzled when they saw this, but their worries were relieved.

On the other side, Liu Bei's mansion. Zhang Fei's loud voice almost lifted the tiles: "I said a long time ago, that ungrateful bastard of Zhao Yun has already taken refuge in Cao Cao, but you don't believe it!" Now believe it, right? ”

Liu Bei frowned tightly and said in disbelief: "I still can't believe it." ”

Guan Yu said unhappily: "Big brother, you have already written him three handwritten letters with sincere feelings, but there is no news from him, if he doesn't rebel, how can this be?" Now Cao Cao entrusted him with a heavy task, leading the army and Yu Ban to attack the giant deer Han Xian. If Zhao Yun hadn't completely surrendered to Cao Cao, how could Cao Cao's suspicious personality be so reused by him? ”

Zhang Fei shouted: "Second brother is right! I'm going to slaughter this ungrateful bastard with my own hands! With that, he was leaving.

Liu Bei hurriedly shouted: "Third brother, don't be reckless!" ”

Guan Yu hurriedly grabbed Zhang Fei and said angrily: "It's up to the eldest brother to decide what to do, how can you act recklessly!" ”

Zhang Fei glared and shouted, "What's the use of this discussion?" ”

Xu Shu said: "The three generals are calm and don't be impatient. Zhang Fei snorted. Xu Shu frowned and said: "There are only two possibilities for such a result at present, one is that it is indeed as the third general said," Zhang Fei immediately shouted: "I have already said it!" Liu Bei glared at him, and Zhang Fei closed his mouth, looking indignant. Xu Shu continued: "The second possibility," he glanced at Liu Bei, "There may be something wrong with the process of sending the letter." ”

Liu Bei was stunned. Guan Yu squinted his eyes and asked, "Does the military advisor mean that Mi Fang can't make a hindrance from it?" Zhang Fei immediately shouted: "This is just nonsense!" Liu Bei's eyes also showed displeasure, he didn't believe that Mi Fang would have a problem at all.

Xu Shu hugged his fists and said, "It's better to call Mi Fang to ask."

Zhang Fei yelled: "Fart! Mi Fang is a relative of Mrs. Mi, how can there be a problem? Xu Shu frowned and did not speak. Seeing this, Liu Bei immediately scolded Zhang Fei: "How can Yide be so rude? Zhang Fei shouted: "It's the military advisor who is rude first!" ”
