The west road was broken, the north road was besieged, and now the east road is also suffering heavy losses, it is conceivable that the next danger will be the giant deer.

Because of the situation of the Eastern Route Army, the two advisers were worried, which made the atmosphere in the study much more solemn.

It's just that this solemnity was quickly broken by Xu You, "Brother Youruo, it seems like this, I'm afraid that Yuan Shao won't be able to last long here, if there are not enough reinforcements, I'm afraid that it will be a foregone conclusion that Zhang Chao will eat him, but I don't know what you mean?" ”

This time, Xu You called Yuan Shaojiao not to be called the lord, but to call him by his name, this small change was heard in Xun Chen's ears, which naturally brought great waves to his heart, and he seemed to have thought of a certain possibility.

Xu You noticed that Xun Chen's face was changing, and he also knew that the other party was afraid that he knew it, so he said: "Brother Youruo, I really don't hide it, I have long seen that Yuan Shaocheng is not a big deal, compared to the prime minister, the pattern of the two is really far from the same." I thought,I'm not the only one who thinks like this.,Presumably Brother Youruo should feel the same way.。 ”

"This..."I didn't expect Xu You to ask such a question, and Xun Chen didn't know how to answer for a while. This casual evaluation of the lord is not the work of the courtiers.

"What is this, brother Ruo, I will tell you directly, Yuan Shao is obviously not good here. I want to go to the prime minister to serve, but I'm afraid it's too abrupt, and Wen Ruo, the brother of Brother Youruo, is a person that the prime minister trusts very much, so it must be much easier for you to get in touch with him. Xu You saw that Xun Chen had not expressed his position, so he decided to force the other party.

If Wen Ruo is Xun Yu's character, he is now the person who helps Cao Cao manage internal affairs, and in terms of position, I am afraid that it is the same as Lu Su in Zhang Chao's group.

Xun Chen and Xun Yu are brothers, Xun Chen is a brother, and the other party is a brother. The reason why Xu You didn't see anyone and saw Xun Chen alone was precisely this idea.

Although when it comes to the relationship, Xu You and Cao Cao are small, but he took refuge in Yuan Shao a long time ago, and in order to win trust, he also said a lot of bad things about the latter. And now, seeing that he is in a crisis, he wants to turn around and surrender, but he is also afraid that the other party will refuse, so he wants to pull Xun Yu's brother Xun Chen together, so Cao Cao does not look at the monk's face but also looks at the Buddha's face.

Xu You finally said everything he was going to say, and Xun Chen's face was ugly.

He and Xun Yu are indeed brothers. But over the years, each has been his master, and he has not had many contacts. However, two days ago, Xun Yu was ordered by Cao Cao to write a letter to him, which probably meant to ask him how his life is now, and if he has any difficulties, he can come to Xu Du to find him, etc.

This letter is actually a letter of surrender, but because the battle situation is not clear, the letter is not as straightforward as it is said. But now, the Eastern Route Army has been defeated, Wen Chou has also been arrested, and the situation has changed again, and it seems that the significance of this letter has become even more significant.

Husband and wife were originally birds of the same forest, and they flew separately when the disaster came.

This is true even for husbands and wives, let alone before monarchs and ministers. If you want to say what the situation is here in Yuan Shao now, anyone can see it clearly, but all smart people have begun to look for a way back. Xun Chen is the same, this time he came to visit Xu Yuzhi's condition, and he also had this thought.

It's just that he didn't expect that Xu You, who is so valued by Yuan Shao on weekdays, would have this idea a long time ago, and he was the first to put it forward, which is just what he wants.

"Hmm. Brother Ziyuan, here's the thing, I received a letter from my brother a few days ago, which says this..."Xun Chen told me about my brother's letter.

Xu You listened very carefully, and after hearing the other party finish speaking, his eyes couldn't help but light up and said: "Oh, Brother Youruo, this is Brother Wen Ruo is trying to win you over." Presumably, the prime minister should know such a thing. That being the case, you have to seize the opportunity. Well, in this way, let me think about it, if we take refuge in the prime minister, do we want to get some greeting gifts? It is better to take advantage of the war between Yuan Shao and Zhang Chao, we will bring in the prime minister's soldiers, even if Jizhou is not guaranteed, it is better to hand it over to Zhang Chao than to hand it over to the prime minister, after all, the Han and Emperor are still on the prime minister's side. ”

Xu You has already begun to talk about the issue of voting for the name, if he wants to get a good position in Cao Cao's camp, he must also make considerable contributions. Now it seems that it is feasible to hand over Jizhou or part of Jizhou to Cao Cao, and it can also make meritorious contributions.

Now there are many wars outside, and all they do is to fight for territory. If a large area of land can be sent to Cao Cao's hands now, this person must be very happy, and at that time, they will go to the past, and they should also be rewarded for their merits.

Regarding Xu Yu's words, Xun Chen also thinks that there is some truth. The so-called man is not for himself, and the heavens and the earth are destroyed. Although he also wants to be loyal to Yuan Shao for the rest of his life, anyone can see that Yuan Benchu's loss of power is only a matter of time. Even if it blocked the attack of Zhang Chao's army this time, but what about the future? Without soldiers in his hands, no prince can stand.

You can't give up the chance to live for yourself and your family because of loyalty. Xun Chen, who had already been born of an idea by his eldest brother's confidence, now gritted his teeth and made a decision after hearing Xu You's words, and saw that he said with a firm attitude, "Brother Ziyuan? So in your opinion, what do we do next? ”

Xun Chen finally agreed, which also made Xu Yu breathe a sigh of relief. He was really worried that this person would not agree, if he went to Yuan Shao to complain, then he really had no way out. Fortunately, it is worth taking the risk once, and with this person's consent, going back to Cao Cao with Xun Yu to help him speak, presumably there should be no problem in getting a position that is not low.

While Xu You breathed a sigh of relief, there was also a smile on his face and said: "I have already thought about this matter, I will use the danger of the giant deer as the name, and ask the lord to gather the soldiers and horses of Yangping, Pingyuan and Qinghe counties together, so as to strengthen the defense force of the capital, in this way, the prime minister can send a large army to occupy the three places, and relying on these three places, at that time, whether to enter Julu in the north or Guangping in the west, or to attack Leping in the east, it is a choice, that is really to retreat and attack, to defend, and when Zhang Chao and they are both defeated, At that time, when Zhang Chao found out that he had spent a lot of effort to make wedding dresses for others, his expression must have been very exciting. ”

When he said this, Xu You himself laughed, as if he had seen Zhang Chao's appearance when he was deflated at this time.

Hearing that Xu You had a comprehensive plan, Xun Chen was also very happy and said: "Let's not care what Zhang Chao will be angry at that time, just say that the prime minister, once we take these three counties with our help, I am afraid that we will be very happy, and we will naturally have no advantage at that time." ”

"yes, hahaha." The two of them laughed out loud at the moment.

Whether it is Xu Yu or Xun Chen, they are very important advisers in Yuan Shao's camp. Accustomed to this kind of high-ranking life, they naturally don't want to be subservient to others in an unimportant position, even if they vote for Cao Cao, they also want to take the lead and have enough status. Now it seems that this day is not far away.

And when the two were discussing important matters, they didn't know that outside the room, a little servant serving tea had been standing here for a while, and he had completely listened to the conversation between the two. When he heard the sound of laughter in the room, a sneer crossed the corner of his mouth, and then quietly withdrew.

Not long after, Xun Chen left, and not long after, Xu Yu also went to the house, got into a sedan chair and went straight to the Ji Palace.

Yuan Shaozheng was in a hurry because Wen Chou was captured and the 120,000 army was annihilated, and suddenly heard that someone came to report that Xu You was coming.

"Why is he here? Aren't you sick? Yuan Shao said with a dissatisfied face.

For Xu You to get sick at such a time, Yuan Shao had already guessed that there must be other reasons, these Wenchen who had been reused, when they couldn't come up with a decent idea at a critical time, they would pretend to be sick, and they really couldn't be reused.

"Lord Xu said that he has important military information to report." The man stood there and repeated what Xu Yu had said when he entered the door.

Hearing that Xu You still had an important matter to report, Yuan Shao's nose let out a cold snort. It's just that now he has no clue about everything, and it would be nice to hear what he says. "Alright, let's pass in."

After a while, Xu You, who was dressed in a gray robe, entered Yuan Shao's study, and as soon as he entered the room, he fell to the ground with a thud, and then kept saying that he was guilty.

"Oh? What sin is Ziyuan? Yuan Shao asked as if he didn't know.

"The minister is guilty, and pretending to be sick to deceive the lord is a great crime, and it is disloyal." Xu You, who fell to the ground, said with a reverent face.

Seeing that Xu You took the initiative to admit that he was pretending to be sick and had a good attitude, Yuan Shao's anger disappeared by half. Anyway, they are also small, and their relationship is not like that of a monarch and a minister with other people, but more often a relationship of friends.

Under such a foundation, it was difficult for him to really get angry, so he sighed and said, "Okay, Ziyuan, get up." ”

"Thank you, Lord." Xu Yu at this meeting was more respectful and well-behaved than ever when he saw Yuan Shao.

Seeing that Xu Yu respected himself so much, Yuan Shao's mood changed a lot, "Well, just now Ziyuan said that there is an important military situation to report, but I don't know what it is?" ”
