Three Kingdoms: The rebellion was eavesdropped by Cao Cao

Chapter 318 Cracks in Yuan Ying
The next day, Yuan Shao stood in front of the military tent, looking at the three armies in front of him who were being repaired with dull eyes, his mind was full of thoughts and he didn't know what to think!
At this moment, Guo Tu came up, clasped his hands and proclaimed:

"My lord, the reinforcements sent from Youzhou, Jizhou have arrived one after another. Now the army totals more than 53. In addition, the food and grass dispatched from the counties of various continents have also arrived at the destination, which can supply the army with food and pay for a hundred days!"

Hearing this, Yuan Shao turned his head, nodded in satisfaction and said:

"Although our army was severely injured by Cao Cao and suffered heavy losses, it is still a good soldier. It will definitely not be a problem to destroy Cao Cao again!"

Guo Tu smiled embarrassingly, but did not respond!

In his opinion, it was more important for Yuan Shao to cheer up so quickly after such a defeat. If he was really frightened by Cao Su, then he was really doomed!

Looking at it now, it seems that Yuan Shao has not been greatly affected!

Yuan Shao said at this time:

"Pass down the order to let the three armies rest for ten days, and then see how I can destroy Cao!"

Guo Tu nodded, but did not leave immediately, but said:

"My lord, there is one more thing I want to report to you, but..."

Yuan Shao raised his eyebrows slightly, "It's just what? Just say something straight?"

Guo Tu hesitated for a while and then said:
"The prefect of Ye County secretly reported that the county should have allocated 3 grain and salaries, but Xu You's son guarded and stole it himself, embezzling more than [-] yuan, so the transportation of the grain and salaries was delayed!"

"What did you say?!"

Yuan Shao's face was instantly furious after hearing this!
"In the face of the enemy, he actually embezzled the food and salary without permission? Wouldn't it be okay if he didn't want to live?"

Seeing that he was angry, Guo Tu quickly lowered his head, not daring to look at him.

"Damn things!"

Yuan Shao cursed angrily, and paced back and forth with his waist in his hands. After a while, he turned to Guo Tu and asked:

"Does Xu You know about this?"

Guo Tu nodded, "I should know a thing or two, this son is embezzling food and pay just to build a mansion for his father!"

After hearing this, Yuan Shao took a deep breath, and the fierce murderous look in his eyes became even more intense, but because he was in front of Guo Tu, he still suppressed his anger and muttered:
"Xu You blamed me!"

Then he clenched his fist and gritted his teeth and asked:
"Where is Xu You now?"

Guo Tu quickly replied, "According to his subordinates, he took his troops to Cao Jun's side to investigate the military situation last night, and he hasn't come back yet!"

"He is a civil servant, what kind of enemy situation do you need him to investigate?"

At this time, Yuan Shao was furious, and felt extremely irritable about such extraordinary things!

"This……"

Guo Tu couldn't answer for a while!

But at this moment, Xu You suddenly ran all the way from not far away, with excitement on his face!

"My lord! My lord! That bandit Cao has already seen his defeat, and we are in sight of victory!"

Seeing his excited appearance, Yuan Shao and Guo Tu couldn't help but glance at each other without being moved in the slightest!

Yuan Shao snorted even more, and asked without leaving a trace:
"It has become clear how Cao Cao has been defeated, and the general will listen with all his ears!"

Xu You was slightly taken aback, aware that something was wrong with the atmosphere, but he still suppressed his doubts and said:
"Returning to my lord, I went to investigate Cao Cao's barracks last night, and found that they are still heavily guarded, without any slack!"

"Since that's the case! So where does the defeat come from?" Yuan Shao asked in a deep voice, with a bit of reprimand in his words.

However, Xu You didn't change his face and said, "My lord, I checked carefully all night and found that the Cao army showed no sign of retreating to defend Xuchang. All the troops are in this Guandu. What does this mean? This means Xuchang City The defense is still empty!"

"As we all know, that Jiangdong Sun Ce and that Cao Cao have a sworn feud. As long as we send a secret letter to that Sun Ce now, they will definitely send troops to attack Xuchang. At that time, we will send troops to face each other, and we will definitely wipe out Cao Cao. middle!"

Xu You was full of eloquence and high spirits, as if the battle had already been won before it was fought!
However, Yuan Shao was not moved at all after hearing this, he just said lightly:

"What kind of failure is this? You can imagine it. Could it be that Cao Su couldn't think of it? What if he deliberately let us know and waited for us to attack and fell into their trap?"

Xu You's face changed slightly, but he still said:
"My lord, it's not difficult to investigate this matter. You only need to send a dark sentry to Xuchang City to find out!"

"enough!"

Unexpectedly, Yuan Shao's scolding made Xu You's smile froze!
"Xu Ziyuan! Do you really think that Cao Su is reckless? Cao Jun has been confronting us for so long, and he would never have imagined that Xuchang City is empty? Besides, Sun Ce is far away in the east of the Yangtze River. How long would it take if he attacked? Have you ever thought about it?"

Guo Tu also said at this time:
"Master Mingjian! I also feel that there must be fraud in this matter, and Cao Shuren will never give us such a flaw!"

"My lord!" Xu You became anxious when he heard this, but before he could finish speaking, Yuan Shao interrupted:
"Okay! This matter will be decided on its own, so stop talking and step back!"

Seeing this, Xu You's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately understood!

This is a villain who read his own book in the back!

Then he could only sigh secretly, and was about to leave this place of right and wrong, when an armored soldier came up to report with bamboo slips in both hands:

"My lord! Master Tian Tianfeng is in prison!"

Yuan Shao was taken aback suddenly, his eyes widened and he asked in disbelief:

"What did you say? Tian Feng is dead? Does he have a last word?"

The armored soldier handed the letter to Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao's eyes showed grief, and he unfolded it and read it!
At this time, Xu You's heart had already sunk a huge rock, and he stood there feeling uneasy!

Sure enough, after Yuan Shao read the letter, the grief on his face disappeared, replaced by extremely furious, he threw the bamboo slips on Xu You's face!

"Xu You! You and that Cao Cao were childhood friends. How dare you betray me!"

Xu You's face turned pale after hearing this, and he quickly knelt on the ground and said:
"My lord! Absolutely not! I did go to school with that Cao Cao when I was young, but since I followed you, I have been at odds with that thief Cao, and I have been assisting the lord wholeheartedly. I have never betrayed you, Tian Feng. When he was about to die, he wanted to pour dirty water on his lower body, please be careful, my lord!"

Yuan Shao didn't pay attention to his excuse, but said angrily:

"Stop quibbling! Xu You, you killed Tian Feng and made me lose a loyal minister in vain!"

Seeing this, Xu You knelt down with a plop!
"My lord! This is a good time to destroy Cao. Cao Su is not as powerful as you think, my lord. It's just that your imagining his strength fueled his arrogance. If you don't join forces with Jiang Dong to destroy Cao Cao this time." , I'm afraid it will be difficult to get another chance in the future!"

"presumptuous!"

Yuan Shao kicked him, pointed at him and said angrily:

"Now that things are going on, you still want to persuade me to advance rashly, Xu You, what is your intention?"

"My lord!!" Xu You couldn't hold back anymore, and shouted tearfully!

"roll!"

Yuan Shao'er was furious!
"Your head is stored on your head for the time being. When I kill Cao Cao, I will investigate and deal with it severely! Hmph!"

After speaking, he walked away, completely ignoring Xu You's shout behind him!
In the end, it could only be turned into a sigh, and I laughed at myself as if my heart was ashamed...

"Cao Su, Cao Su! The world thinks you are invincible, and it seems to be right. Only you can do this kind of heart attack. It seems that if I, Xu You, continue to follow this mediocre lord, I'm afraid I will die. Not long to live!"
