Chapter 453: Reminiscing about the old and winning people's hearts

In Xu You's shocked gaze, Cao Ang came all the way to the other party.

"Is it really Uncle Ziyuan?" Cao Ang arched his hand at Xu You.

This Xu You and Cao Cao are classmates and friends, and they are friends with each other, according to the seniority, Cao Ang should indeed call Xu You an uncle.

It's just that Xu You has served under Yuan Shao for many years, and his status is not as respected by the Cao family's father and son.

Cao Ang's uncle, but he called Xu You, who loved vanity, a little fluttering.

However, Xu You immediately returned to normal, and said to Cao Ang: "Uncle of the young general, I can't afford to wait for you." ”

"The young general is an upstart in the Han family, Ling Zun Cao Sima, and he is also an existence above 10,000 people under one person, how can he be worthy of this uncle?"

Cao Ang looked at Xu You's modest appearance, and couldn't help but smile and said: "Before my father, I often mentioned my uncle in my ear, and often sighed that uncle, you are under the command of Yuan Shao, you are a pearl and dust. ”

"Yuan Shao is a mediocre master, he has many strategies and few decisions, and there are many strategists around him, but he can't make good use of it, uncle, you can endure him for so many years, and it can be regarded as benevolent and righteous."

Xu You looked at Cao Ang, who was talking eloquently, and was surprised in his heart.

He knew before that Cao Ang was young and promising, and his ability was outstanding.

But I didn't expect his ability to be so outstanding!

After this analysis, Rao is Xu You was a little shocked.

Because what Cao Ang said coincided with his own thoughts.

Originally, Xu Yu stayed on Yuan Shao's side to serve, just because he remembered his former classmates, plus the name of the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family.

But after so many years, Xu You only noticed that this Yuan Shao was a person with a cold nature.

No matter how well you treat him, he will not know how to be grateful, he will only feel that it is what you should do.

And over the years, Xu You has also seen that this Yuan Shao is a mediocre master, if it weren't for the feelings of the past, he would have run away a long time ago.

It's just that what happened recently made Xu You completely firm up his determination to run away.

It would have been a great achievement to find the Montenegrin Army as foreign aid to resist the Cao Army.

As a result, because of Wen Chou's mistake, it did not lead to a decline in morale and a discouragement of the army, so Yuan Shao sprinkled his anger on Xu You's body.

How can this be human?

Lao Tzu is no longer serving, there is no place to stay here!

So, Xu You came to vote for Cao.

Seeing Cao Ang come out barefoot to greet him, Xu You felt even more that his decision was right.

Cao Ang introduced Xu You into the camp tent and began to ask the other party: "I don't know what happened when my uncle came to me in the middle of the night?" ”

In fact, with Cao Ang's understanding of Xu You, he could naturally guess that the other party was planning to come to him.

It's just that he didn't get a definite answer, and he couldn't jump to conclusions.

When Xu You heard this, his face was a little embarrassed, and he arched his hand and said: "Under the original account of Yuan Ben, I was killed by a traitor and trapped by a mediocre master, and if I stay any longer, I am afraid that I will worry about my life!" ”

"In addition, that Yuan Shao was against the court, although he was a courtier, he was actually a thief, and as a heavy minister of the Han Dynasty, he should be loyal to the king."

Xu Yu said a lot in a big way, and said that he had defected to the enemy and betrayed, and he was very lofty.

Cao Ang naturally saw through it and didn't say anything, and arched his hand at Xu You and said: "Uncle can abandon the darkness and turn to the light, it is undoubtedly a great good, I believe that when my class teacher returns to the court, my father will be very happy to see you, uncle." ”

"That's natural, Brother Meng De and I haven't seen each other for a long time, and speaking of which, I still miss it a little." Xu Yu pretended to say something deeply.

In fact, Xu You's friendship with Cao Cao when they were young cannot be said to be very bad, but it cannot be said to be very good.

After all, the Xu family is also a wealthy family, and he naturally looks down on the descendants of eunuchs like Cao Cao.

It's just that because of cultivation and the fact that the Cao family does have a certain status, it didn't make the relationship with Cao Cao too stiff.

After some greetings, Xu You asked Cao Ang: "Young General, I don't know if you have a plan for breaking Yuan?" ”

Cao Ang shook his head when he heard this, and said: "This Black Mountain Army appeared too suddenly, I was a little unexpected, I originally wanted to destroy Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan together in a battle, but now it seems that it is unlikely." ”

Xu You couldn't help but change his expression when he heard Cao Ang talk about the Black Mountain Army, after all, this Black Mountain Army was found by him.

"If Cao Ang knows that I found this Black Mountain Army, will he kill me to vent his anger?"

Xu You asked himself in the bottom of his heart, and after some struggle, he still didn't tell him about the Montenegrin Army.

And Cao Ang didn't hide it from Xu You, and continued to speak directly: "The hundreds of thousands of horses of Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan, plus the more than 300,000 horses of the Black Mountain Army, add up to so many people, and the daily consumption of grain and grass is countless. ”

"Originally, I thought that I would find the place where they hoarded grain and grass and directly draw their salaries from the bottom of the kettle, but after so much time, I still haven't found the place where the other party hides grain and grass."

Xu You listened to Cao Ang's words, his eyes rolled, and he bowed to Cao Ang and said, "Young General, you are committing a capital crime!" ”

"Why did my uncle say that?" When Cao Ang heard this, he looked at Xu You in a daze, not understanding what the other party meant.

Although Cao Ang is an uncle to these people of Cao Cao's generation, this is all due to the etiquette of this generation.

These people who are called uncles by him, only the Xiahou brothers and the Cao brothers of the same clan, when Cao Cao is present in private, will call him a virtuous nephew.

As for the rest of the time, they are called major generals.

The Xiahou brothers and the Cao brothers are all like this, not to mention the others.

Xu You said to Cao Cao embarrassedly: "It's all a matter of the bottom, this Black Mountain Army is actually getting it from the bottom." ”

Afterwards, Xu You explained how he moved Zhang Yan and asked him to bring the Montenegrin Army to help.

When Cao Ang heard this, he couldn't help but laugh in surprise.

He had been wondering how the Montenegrin army could come to the battlefield.

Now that Xu Yu explained like this, he understood.

Thinking of this, Cao Ang looked at Xu You and asked, "Uncle, do you know where this Montenegrin army hoards grain and grass?" ”

Xu You nodded proudly when he heard this: "That's right, this grain and grass was personally escorted by me from Montenegro, and now it is hoarded in Jianjin City in Qinghe County!" ”

"Qinghe County?" Cao Ang was stunned when he heard this, he never thought that Yuan Shao and Zhang Yan would hide the grain and grass in Qinghe County.

Because when the two sides had just started the war, Cao Ang sent troops to capture Qinghe County.

As a result, it is now told that the grain and grass of the enemy army are placed on their own territory? (End of chapter)
