Guandu, in the big tent of the Chinese army in Cao Cao's camp.

Cao Cao sat on the handsome seat, and below him were Xun You, Guo Jia, Cheng Yu, Chen Qun and others. Cheng Yu stood in the middle and reported to Cao Cao what had happened in Runan.

"Then Liu Ye is really a genius, and he hit the nail on the head to reveal Yuan Shao's weakness." After Guo Jia listened, he said with a smile.

At the beginning, Xun Yu and Guo Jia also defected to Yuan Shao first, but when they saw that Yuan Shao's law was incomplete and nepotism, they also thought that Yuan Shao would be defeated, so they went south to Cao Cao.

Now that I heard Cheng Yu talk about Liu Ye, I suddenly felt like a confidant.

"However, although this person is a genius, he is inevitably a little lacking in courage, and loyalty needs to be considered." Cheng Yu said.

Liu Ye knew that Yuan Shao was incompetent, but he still hesitated, not planning to take the lead in defecting to Cao Cao, but planning to break away from the Northern War and be an insignificant spectator from the wall.

Wait for the end of the battle between the two heroes to defect to the victorious one. In the eyes of the upright Cheng Yu, this is a little lacking in courage.

"This is also something that cannot be helped, after all, Yuan Shao seems to be too powerful, and we can't be strong." Chen Qun sighed and said more understandingly.

I have to say that Liu Ye's decision is very correct, he judged with his wisdom that Yuan Shao would defeat Cao Cao and Daxing, and pointed out the details.

Yuan Shaokuan, while Cao Cao is strict.

This assertion is set off with a heavy canon in troubled times, which is consistent with the views of many strategists under Cao Cao's account.

Cao Cao's advisers, although they said a few words, either despised Liu Ye's lack of courage, or said something else. But he didn't deny Liu Ye's sincerity and the environment Liu Ye was in, which was probably the best way.

Since it can be seen that Cao Cao's reason for victory, it goes without saying that Liu Ye's sincerity is mostly true.

"What is the lord going to do with this Liu Ye?" Now that the conclusion has been reached, Cheng Yu finally looked up at Cao Cao and asked softly.

"Whether he is sincere or not, but after all, he is also a character at both ends of the wall, a snake and a mouse, and we can't easily believe it for the time being." Cao Cao did not answer directly, but said to Cheng Yu.

Immediately, Cao Cao raised his head and said: "That Jiangdong Liu Xun can dominate Jiangdong in such a short period of time, and his strength has skyrocketed, so it seems that Liu Xun is by no means as simple as it seemed in the past, if this person does not have the ambition to compete for the world, I absolutely do not believe it."

I was very worried about this person's ambition before, but at this moment, Liu Ye has a grudge with Liu Xun, but it is undoubtedly a good thing in our opinion, some of Liu Ye's Runan County is in the way, so we have an extra free watchdog. ”

"What the lord said is reasonable, but what should we do about Liu Ye's request?" Guo Jia couldn't help but ask curiously

"Haha, first go to the Son of Heaven, seal Liu Ye as the Taishou of Runan, and give him an official position first. Then he ordered the quartermaster to count out a batch of larger materials and escort them to Runan to hand over the materials to Liu Ye, so that he could be optimistic about Runan and resist Liu Xun's attack in Jiangdong. Cao Cao couldn't help laughing

With Liu Xun's containment, presumably Liu Ye would not dare to rashly send troops to Xu Du. So in any case, as long as Liu Ye does not dare to send troops to Xudu, we can continue to draw troops from Xudu. In this way, we will not lose money by sending them some material. Later, when Yuan Shao was defeated, he could be killed like an ant by turning around, and by that time, he would surely regret today's decision. ”

"No." Chen Qun, who was in charge of the exchange of military Chinese books, took Cao Cao's order to heart, promised it, and went down to do things.

Regarding the burden given to Liu Ye, Cao Cao behaved very boldly. But after giving the order, before seeing the desired effect, Cao Cao still felt a heartache, a heartache like blood.

"Our supplies are already much less than Yuan Shao's, and this time we have ceded a large number to Liu Ye, I hope it will not cause any adverse effects." Cao Cao sighed and said.

"The lord is relieved, as long as Liu Ye can stay in Runan with peace of mind and not make trouble, we will be able to free up some soldiers and horses to support the north, and the number of troops on the front line will naturally increase, and the chances of victory will naturally be greater. On the contrary, Yuan Shao lost Runan, lost an important stronghold to attack us, and his forces were greatly weakened. Under the trade-off, it is really a lot easier. Guo Jia smiled and persuaded.

"Haha, Feng Xiao is right, on the whole, we do not suffer. What's more, enhancing Liu Ye's strength can also help us prevent the evil wolf of Jiangdong Liu Xun. We treat Liu Ye as a watchdog we raise, and if we want him to work hard and guard the door, we always have to throw some bones for him. When we were able to defeat the strong enemy in the coming day, we looked back and stewed it in soup and ate meat. Cheng Yu nodded and said coldly.

"Hmm." Cao Cao felt much better when he heard this, and a relieved smile appeared on his face, and he nodded. "Well, yes, it's a watchdog."

………………………..

In the north of Guandu, Yuan Shao's camp.

After a long journey, the trial also returned to Guandu. However, because the identity of the trial is not visible, he is more cautious in Cao Cao's territory.

Therefore, he arrived at Guandu one step later than Cheng Yu, who was one step later out of Runan.

After Yuan Shao knew that the trial was back, he immediately summoned the important advisers under the account, and frustrated him, reviewed the match, and Xu You and others greeted the trial together.

Soon, the group returned to the big tent of the Chinese army.

After sitting down with each other, Yuan Shao couldn't wait to ask, "Zhengnan, what's wrong?" So Liu Ye has the heart to belong? "Whether there is Runan or not, there is no need to say what it means for Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao's impatience is understandable.

"Then Liu Ye is more acquainted, but he is also slippery. I'm afraid I want to sit in Runan to watch the two heroes compete for hegemony. The judge raised his fist and said.

was influenced by Liu Ye, and the judge thought that Liu Ye just wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.

Immediately afterwards, the judge told Yuan Shao about the process of talking to Liu Ye.

"Thief, how dare you threaten me?" Yuan Shao couldn't help but be furious after hearing this.

Just like the trial is worried, Yuan Shao doesn't care too much about the baggage, after all, Hebei has a lot of people, and there are many baggage, but the war horse is different.

Although Yuan Shao also has war horses, but after all, there are not many, at this time and Cao Cao are the enemy, the role of war horses naturally does not need to be said. Now, Liu Ye actually dared to threaten Yuan Shao, saying that if he didn't give the war horse, Runan would take refuge in Cao Cao.

But that's when someone spoke up

"The lord is angry, we take the war horse and baggage in exchange for Liu Ye's support, in fact, we don't lose. If Liu Ye didn't completely fall to Cao Cao, even if he wanted to wait and see, Cao Cao would not dare to completely drain Xu Du's troops. After all, people's hearts are unpredictable, who dares to guarantee that Liu Ye will not suddenly go crazy to attack Xu Du. We gave Liu Ye a war horse, if Liu Ye is willing, a charge can kill the city of Xudu, and then it is Cao Cao who should be worried. In this way, it can be regarded as indirectly restraining a large part of Cao Cao's troops. Feng Ji said very confidently

The frustrated professor on the side couldn't help frowning when he heard this, and said worriedly: "Lord, people's hearts are unpredictable, if Liu Ye surrenders to Cao Cao with the materials we give, then wouldn't we indirectly fund Cao Cao?"

Even if he doesn't surrender to Cao Cao, when we are both defeated, what if he rushes out and reaps the benefits of the fisherman? According to me, other supplies can be given, but the war horse is absolutely not, if he really wants to surrender to Cao Cao, it is useless for us to send anything. ”

Xu You said: "You just take it for granted, I think it should be given to Liu Ye, with the war horse Cao Cao will be even more jealous of him, so that Xu Du will have to leave a little more troops." After all, Liu Ye is too far away from us, if we don't give materials to win people's hearts, we will completely fall to Cao Cao like Zhang Xiu at the beginning, and then we will be under more pressure. ”

Guo Tu also said in a weird manner: "Lord, I think that Fu Zhu is deliberately misleading you, which is ill-intentioned. This matter is so obvious, Liu Ye just wants to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, but he doesn't meet his conditions, he won't mind falling to Cao Cao, so he should give the war horse is. How could I not understand such a simple truth. ”

With everyone's words, the scene was a mess, Yuan Shao couldn't help but have a big head, and Yuan Shao shouted at the moment: "Okay, this is the big tent of the Chinese army, noisy and noisy, what kind of system." ”

"The ministers are guilty."

Interrogatory, Guo Tu, Xu You, Feng Ji and the other four immediately saluted, and their confession attitude was very fast.

Frustrated in his heart, he was also taken aback. calmed down a little, hugged his fists and said: "I am confused for a while, and I ask the lord to atone for his sins." ”

But at this time, it was too late, Yuan Shao just heard the opinions of the four people, Xu You, Guo Tu, Feng Ji and so on, and the ratio of four to one gradually shook the determination just now, and he also thought that it was very cost-effective to exchange the war horse for the support of Liu Ye, the ruler of Runan.

As for the words of frustration, Yuan Shao just thought that he hadn't heard it, after all, such an obvious four to one, could it be said that the combined IQ of these four people was not as good as that of a frustrated professor? What a joke.

Yuan Shao, who had made a decision, immediately ordered: "I have made up my mind, you immediately equip the baggage that Liu Ye needs, and then transfer some war horses to Yecheng and go south to hand them over to Liu Ye." ”

"No." Matching, Xu You, Guo Tu, Feng Ji and others immediately agreed.

"My lord." Frustrated Zhu felt cold in his heart, and raised his fist unwillingly and said.

"I've made up my mind, so I don't need to say more." Yuan Shao's face turned cold and said impatiently.

"Ugh." Trial, Xu You and others sneered secretly, but sighed in frustration, the villain is troublesome, and the lord is unlucky.

But no matter what, Fu Zhu didn't stop Yuan Shao's stupid move. After all, strictly speaking, this will not affect the direction of the war at all, it is just to send some war horses. Therefore, frustration can suppress the temper at this time, if it can affect the victory or defeat of the battlefield, frustration must be admonished to death.

Not long after, the trial and match went out of the camp in person to handle the materials that Liu Ye needed.
