Xu You recorded all the information he had observed since entering the city according to his own memory. City defense: Ten steps with crossbowmen, five trenches outside the city, plus a moat. Storm? Ten to one, not necessarily winning.

Soldier: Brought in by an ordinary soldier, but with calluses on his hands. Looking at the year, it must be more than ten years, judging by his age, he is a veteran, upright and prime. The guards of the city gates are all veterans? It seems that the soldiers in the city of Xu Capital have experienced a hundred battles.

Looking at his analysis and judgment, Xu You's eyes showed worry. The troops left behind in Xudu are unknown, but they should all be the elite of Cao's army, attacking the city? I'm afraid not. Only surprise attacks! Thinking about this clearly, Xu You leaned back in his chair and began to think about his next step.

"Fanfan, sit down!"

"Yes, Teacher Xun!"

"Although Xu You has settled in Xu Du, there are pros and cons, so you have to keep an eye on Xu You and take the opportunity to pull out Xu Du's nails!" Xun Yu glanced at Lu Rui, this is the most important thing.

"Teacher Xun also suspects that someone in our army has snitched against Yuan Shao?" Thinking of the secret letter from Xu Du received in Yuan Shao's army after Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao in history, Lu Rui immediately thought of Xun Yu's second strategy was to lure the snake out of the hole!

"Yes, extraordinary, this is the result of Wen Ji and Murong Ping's investigation." Xun Yu handed the information to Lu Rui.

After reading the information, Lu Rui understood that the Zhangjaw army was not in a hurry to attack Xudu, and focused on building a defensive line, and built a defensive line to the east of Xudu.

Falling pits, trenches, tripping horses, deep pits! Seeing these words, Lu Rui seemed to understand, could it be that Zhang Jaw was defending first and then attacking. Set up obstacles on the way back to Cao Cao's aid. Buying time for the attack on Xudu?

"Teacher Xun. Do you mean that open jaw is to defend first and then attack? Lu Rui took the information, looked at Xun Yu, and tried to get an answer from Xun Yu's mouth.

"Reinforcements to defend our army to the east are certain, but it is difficult to say whether there are other intentions."

"This kind of defense also shows that someone has told Yuan Shao that Chen Liu's Bingzhou army is stationed in Zhang Xiu, and most of them are cavalry!"

"Yes, Xu Du's defense still needs to be worried. Xu You will be handed over to Bufan, if Bufan can catch Xu Du's people, it is the best, even if he can't, he must monitor Xu You. ”

"Students understand, please rest assured!" Lu Rui arched his hand and retreated.

In the barracks outside the city, "What, Mr. Xu wants to stay in Xu Capital and wait for Mr. Hua Tuo?" Zhang Jaw was stunned for a moment when he heard the words of Cao Jun's envoy.

"Exactly, my family Taishou said. Since the general is here for Dr. Hua Tuo, he asked the general to garrison here. After Dr. Hua Tuo returns to Xudu, Mr. Xu will take Dr. Hua Tuo back to the barracks! ”

"Okay, General Ben knows."

"Someone, send this messenger out."

"Yes, General!"

After Cao Jun's envoy left, Zhang Jaw glanced at Tian Feng suspiciously, arched his hand and said, "Mr. Tian, what does Mr. Xu mean?" ”

"General Zhang doesn't have to worry, Xu Ziyuan also seems to want to work for the Lord and the public and go deep into the tiger's den, we just need to step up the defense in the east for the time being."

"What about Mr. Xu's safety?"

"General Zhang, rest assured, Cao Mengde will not do unrighteous things, especially this Xu Ziyuan!"

"Yes, sir!"

"By the way, General Zhang, I heard the spies reply, not long ago, the Mintun of Xudu moved west?"

"Yes, sir, it is said that it was Lu Rui's suggestion, Lu Rui is currently the general of Cao Jun's Diannong Zhonglang, all the Mintun have moved west, and the last general also wanted to send troops to raid, but unfortunately after the spies reported, the Cao army has already prepared a line of defense against cavalry, if the lone army goes deep, I am afraid the gains outweigh the losses."

"Who is stationed in Mintun?"

"Sir, you also know this person, Zhu Ling, Zhu Wenbo!"

"It turned out to be Wenbo, since it is Wenbo garrison, I'm afraid our cavalry will be useless, General Zhang will continue to send troops to reconnoitre, to figure out the terrain near Xudu as soon as possible."

"Yes, sir!"

The news of Xu You's arrival in Xu Du spread quickly, and many of Xu You's courtiers were Xu You's old acquaintances. Friendship still has to reminisce about the old!

"See Master Hou!" Garrisoned at the post house are the personal soldiers of the Cao clan, and they are also candidates for the Tiger and Leopard Ride. After all, it's either surnamed Cao or elite.

"Well, what's going on these days?"

"Back to the Hou Ye, Xu You didn't leave the post house, but there were a lot of people who visited him, and the list has been recorded by Lord Cao."

"Okay, take me to see Master Cao!" Then the soldiers led Lu Rui to a room, and a lieutenant was waiting for Lu Rui.

"Master Hou is here?" Cao An, a member of the Cao clan in his early twenties, was in charge of guarding the post station.

"Captain Cao has worked hard, can you show Ben Hou the list of Xu You's guests?" The people of the Cao clan, who knows if they will be crowned marquis in the future? It's better to be polite.

"Please take a look!" Cao An handed the list to Lu Rui. Cao An's martial arts are not outstanding, but he has a good memory and can know all the courtiers in Xu Capital. Lu Rui can't do this, how can he remember that he plays so much soy sauce?

Looking at the names and official positions on the list, Lu Rui smiled, Xu Du has a lot of grass on the wall, whoever has the strength is the boss, Lao Cao's situation is really not good, although the power of these ants is small, but together, it is very terrifying!

"Does Xu You have any special contact with these people?"

"Back to Master Hou, no, it's all normal exchanges."

"What is Xu Yu doing in the inn?"

"Back to the Hou Ye, in addition to meeting guests, Xu You is just singing and writing poems in the courtyard."

Bard right? Xu You is really in the mood. Seeing that there was nothing special to discover, Lu Rui handed over the list to Cao An, and walked towards Xu You's courtyard with the wine and food.

"Uncle Xu, you've come to see you!" Before he reached Xu Yu's courtyard, Lu Rui shouted loudly.

"Extraordinary is here, please come in!" Xu You naturally heard Lu Rui's shout, and hurriedly ran out to greet Lu Rui.

"There's Uncle Law!"

The two entered the room and sat down cross-legged. Lu Rui looked around. Hey. Quite a lot of gifts. It seems that Xu You's people in Xu Du are quite extensive.

"I didn't expect that my uncle still has a lot of old friends in Xudu, and as soon as my uncle arrived in Xudu, so many people came to visit my uncle?"

"It's very polite, it's just some old friends, I made a lot of friends in Luoyang in the past, and these days are just reminiscing." Xu You took a sip of hot tea and looked at Lu Rui, this kid is incomprehensible!

"I don't know if I'm here. So what's going on? ”

"Without him, just take some wine and food to drink with my uncle and reminisce about old feelings."

"Good! Today I am not drunk with the extraordinary! After speaking, Xu You picked up the wine jug in front of Lu Rui and poured himself wine.

"Uncle, please!"

"Extraordinary, please!" After an hour, both of them drank a little too much. The battle began.

"Extraordinary? I don't know what kind of cavalry the cavalry sent out some time ago, why our army is invulnerable no matter how it slashes and kills? Xu You squinted his eyes, looking at Lu Rui as if he was drunk.

"Uncle, this is a secret of our army, Rui said. Today we only talk about Fengyue, regardless of state affairs. Uncle, don't forget to make an appointment! Lu Rui shook the wine glass in his hand and glanced at Xu You.

"Good! Uncle forgot, since he doesn't care about business, he talks about the extraordinary but the darling of the Cao family, and Meng De treats the extraordinary as a parent! ”

"Uncle Ziyuan? The middle father is indeed very good. ”

"It is possible that the extraordinary does not know, Meng De wrote to Ben Chu, saying that if the battle is defeated, the first person to protect is extraordinary!" Xu You put down the wine glass and looked at Lu Rui.

"What!" Lu Rui was stunned, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao had correspondence, this is not surprising, but the first person Cao Cao wanted to protect was actually himself?

"Don't be surprised, Meng De and Ben Chu both know that if one party is defeated, entrusting the other party to take care of their children, this is inevitable, but Bufan thinks that just a few words can change the situation of becoming a king and defeating a king?" Xu You shook his head, boy! You still can't see through it!

"I heard that Bufan and Meng De's daughter have a marriage contract, I don't know if it's true?" "Don't hide it from my uncle, but there is such a thing!"

"Sure enough, since Bufan is Meng De's son-in-law, if Meng De is defeated, Bufan can still protect his daughter!"

"Why is there no wine?" Xu You shook his wine glass, then plopped and poured down.

Lu Rui stood up and looked at Xu You, who had fallen to the ground. smiled, I couldn't imagine that Cao Cao had already prepared a way back for himself, if Cao Cao was defeated, how could the clan protect itself? Taking care of children is just kind words, politics is ruthless!

"Extraordinary? Mengde's son-in-law can protect Mengde's daughter, and you must remember that it is extraordinary! Xu You hiccuped and said another word.

After hearing this, Lu Rui shook his head, turned around and walked out. Xu You's implication is very clear, if Cao Cao is defeated, Lu Rui will be able to protect himself and Cao Cao's daughter. Because Lu Rui's identity can appease the old generals of the Cao army.

Lu Rui ignored Xu You, went out of the door directly, looked at the sky, and said to himself: "Are there all the eggs under the nest?" ”

"Don't forget your uncle's words, he will repay his uncle one day!" Xu You let out another.

Lu Rui was speechless, grandma's, Xu Ziyuan gave himself a suggestion, and he didn't forget to ask for a benefit fee!

As soon as he left the post station, Xun Yu found someone to recruit Lu Rui to Taishou Mansion.

"The student has seen the teacher!"

"Extraordinary? Sit down! ”

"Thank you, teacher!" Lu Rui sat down on Xun Yu's lower left.

"Bufan, what's going on there?"

"There doesn't seem to be anything abnormal, Rui was still drinking with Xu You just now, Xu You pretended to be drunk, and Bufan came back, according to the surveillance, there is nothing abnormal."

"That's weird, then!" Xun Yu shook his head and looked at the information in bewilderment.

"What's wrong with the teacher?"

"Bufan, come and see, this is the information that our scouts just sent back."

Lu Rui looked at the information, and then said: "Zhang Jaw is worthy of Yuan Shao's general, he is cautious in his use of troops, and he has arranged men and horses around Xudu, it seems that he is going to besiege Xudu without attacking it." Is it waiting for reinforcements? ”

"This is not the point, the point is to look at the deployment of troops, Ximen, the problem is Ximen!"

Lu Rui glanced at the information again, and the left and right wings of the West Gate actually used half of their troops to defend it. Wrong! How did Zhang Jaw know about the deployment of Cao's army at the West Gate? In order to prevent accidents, Xun Yu and Lu Rui have already arranged cavalry at the west gate, and if there is an accident, they will lead Liu Xie to rush out of the west gate and go to Wancheng, waiting for an opportunity to counterattack.

"Teacher, Yuan Jun actually knows the deployment of our army!"

"Extraordinary, we have blocked the four gates, how did the news get out?"

Lu Rui was stunned for a moment, yes, even if there are Yuan Shao's spies in the city, these deployments were only deployed recently, even if they received information, how could they be sent? The defenders of the city are idiots? Even if there are gatekeepers who are bought, patrols are also bought? Impossible, absolutely impossible!

"The teacher suspects that the problem is with Xu You?"

"Now there is only this suspicion, as soon as Xu Yu entered the city, our information was leaked." Xun Yu glanced at Lu Rui, and he couldn't figure out what method Xu Yu used to deliver information.

"Teacher, Rui will go to investigate immediately, and he will definitely find out what is strange about Xu You."

"It's hard work!"

"Farewell to the extraordinary!"

After Lu Rui left the Taishou Mansion, he looked back at the Taishou Mansion, and his eyes showed a fine light. It doesn't seem to be a legend, and the information was sent away right under my nose!

In the post station, Xu You was already sober, the original wife trio, what was this amount of alcohol? Xu You took a bone, came to the courtyard of the post station, and said to himself: "Let Cao Jun see how powerful I am!" (To be continued......)
