Han Dao world

Chapter 278
Yuan Shao took a step forward, walking back and forth, as if he had a difficult decision to make.

Xu You stood aside, waiting quietly.

After a long time, Yuan Shao stopped and stood in front of Xu You.

"Ziyuan, does Liu Xie's child go to Taiyuan because he wants to enter Changshan from Jingxing and echo Liu He?"

Xu You bowed and said: "My lord has far-reaching concerns, and this minister is also worried about it. The minister said that Liu Xieyuan, an old minister, is very close to Yang Feng, who was born as a Baibo thief. Baibo is available, and Montenegro is no exception. Zhong Yao was in Shangdang, so he had frequent contacts with Zhang Yan. Zhang Yan was originally from Changshan, if Liu Xie came out of Jingxing and entered Changshan, and went north and south with Zhang Yan, it would be very disadvantageous to me."

Yuan Shao nodded repeatedly. "Then how to break it?"

Xu You pondered for a moment, raised his head, and said seriously: "Would my lord let Liu He go to Youzhou?"

Yuan Shao's eyes flickered slightly. "Should I let him go?"

"No." Xu You said: "But Liu He is confident that he has the imperial edict in his hand, so if he is not allowed to go, there will be criticism. In my opinion, it is better to make an appointment with him. If he can attract Youzhou heroes, we will break up together within a time limit. Gongsun Zan supports him in governing Youzhou."

Yuan Shao rolled his eyes. "Two tigers fighting?"

Xu You nodded.

After careful consideration, Yuan Shao reluctantly accepted Xu You's suggestion.

Not letting Liu He leave will not solve the problem after all.It is a good way to make an agreement with Liu He, let him exhaust the manpower and material resources of Youzhou, and pull out Gongsun Zan's thorn in his heart.

Gongsun Zan is also a force that the imperial court wants to fight for. If he is killed by Liu He, the imperial court will definitely be dissatisfied with Liu He.

But to Liu He, Gongsun Zan was killing his father and enemy, and there was absolutely no reason not to.

This may be an opportunity to drive a wedge between him and the court.

The more Yuan Shao thought about it, the more he felt it made sense, so he asked Xu You to test Liu He's intentions.

-

With a shout, Liu He jumped up and stabbed straight with his knife.

The heavy ring head knife was as light as a sword in his hand.

"Come on!" came the applause from behind.

Liu He turned around and looked back, seeing Xu You clapping his hands as he walked over, put the knife into its sheath quickly, and bowed his hands to salute.

"I don't know Mr. Xu is here, I'm rude, I'm rude."

Xu You laughed, and patted the long sword on his waist. "Gongheng young man, his skills are so good that you don't feel itchy. Try it out, how about it?"

Liu Helian said he didn't dare, but waved his hands and refused. "Is there anyone in Yecheng who doesn't know Xu Jun's outstanding swordsmanship, a master of the world. How can I be Xu Jun's opponent with my Xu skills. Xu Jun, please take a seat in the hall."

Xu You didn't insist either, he didn't come to Liu He for a sword competition.

The two sat down in the hall, and Liu He ordered people to prepare wine and food.Xu You sized Liu He up, and said with a smile, "Look at Gongheng's blow just now, is there any discontent in his chest?"

Liu He let out a long sigh. "In front of the elders, I dare not hide anything. My father was murdered by Gongsun Zan, and he has not been able to take revenge. I am ashamed of being a son of man. I can only practice swords. I hope that one day I can slay my enemy."

"Gongheng's filial piety is commendable, but he's a little too impatient. Don't you hear that it's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge?" Xu You paused for a moment, and then said, "Is it more difficult to kill Gongsun Zan to avenge his father than to welcome the emperor back to the east?" ? The emperor has already returned to the east, and your father's revenge will be avenged soon."

Liu He's heart moved slightly.

Although he left Chang'an back then to ask for help from the emperor's edict, it has nothing to do with him that the emperor is out of trouble today.Xu You conflated the two things, naturally not saying that the emperor had returned to the east, but that his opportunity for revenge had come.

"I hope so." Liu He saluted respectfully. "Dare to ask Mr. Xu to teach you."

"Gongheng, in the battle of Baoqiu, you defeated Gongsun Zan. You were in Bike, and Wei Zhen was in the northern border. Now that Gongsun Zan is trapped in Yijing, waiting to die, why haven't you been able to see the victory?"

Liu He smiled wryly.

He and Qu Yi led their troops to besiege Yi Jing and took advantage of it. They thought that revenge was imminent, but they had to retreat due to the shortage of food and grass.

It's impossible for Xu You not to know the reason, but now he came to ask him, how should he answer?
He couldn't tell Xu You that it was Yuan Shao who cut off my food and grass and didn't want me to make meritorious deeds?
To be honest, he didn't really believe it himself.

But that's what it is.

Due to the lack of food and grass, he had to dismiss the Han Hu cavalry in Youzhou first, and then let Xian Yufu and others leave. In the end, only a few thousand people remained to confront Gongsun Zan.Even so, Yuan Shao could not supply food and grass in time, and he and Qu Yi could not retreat. Therefore, they were chased by Gongsun Zan, lost all their weight in the cart, and returned in embarrassment.

If Yuan Shao could supply food and grass in time, why did it come to this?

He has been unable to understand Yuan Shao's thoughts.

"Gongheng, you are still too young." Xu You sighed. "Seeking fish from a tree is not only useless, but also harmful. Don't you understand such a truth?"

Liu Heng was stunned for a moment. "Xu Jun, you mean..."

"The emperor issued an edict, calling the lord the prefect of Bohai Sea, but worshiping you as the general who conquered the north and leading the governor of Youzhou.

Liu He was greatly surprised. "Is it true that the emperor called the lord the Bohai prefect?"

Xu You sighed.

Suddenly, Liu He let out a sigh of relief.

After Yuan Shao received the edict, he was furious and deeply ashamed, but he dared not make it public.

One is afraid of being laughed at, and the other is afraid that Han Fu's old officials will make trouble because of it.

So rumors were spreading outside, but no one dared to speak out.Liu He is neither from Jizhou nor close to Yuan Shao. Although he heard some rumors, he didn't know the truth.

Even if he knew, he would pretend not to know.

But Xu You made it clear at this moment, and he naturally understood Xu You's reason for coming.

Yuan Shao didn't want him to take charge of Youzhou, but Xu You wanted to help him.

"Xu Jun, what should I do?" Liu He left the table and bowed deeply.

Xu You took advantage of the situation to reveal all his plans.

Gongsun Zan is still struggling, without the support of Jizhou, and only with the manpower and material resources of Youzhou, it will be difficult for you to take down Gongsun Zan.It is better to ask Yuan Shao to send Yuan Tan as the general and you as the deputy to attack Gongsun Zan together, so that Yuan Shao can rest assured.

Liu He was a little embarrassed.

He felt that although Yuan Tan was smart, he was too young and lacked combat experience.The battlefield is dangerous, and it is inevitable that there will be injuries.As Yuan Shao's eldest son, Yuan Tan really should not take risks.

It would be better to let Qu Yi assist him.

They cooperated very well in the previous battles, and the effect was not bad.

In the Battle of Jieqiao, Qu Yi became famous in the first battle, and his deterrent power against Gongsun Zan was by no means comparable to that of Yuan Tan.

Xu You sneered and looked at Liu He without saying a word.

Liu He was very helpless, thinking about it, and finally had to accept Xu You's suggestion.

He has no other choice.

Xu You's plan may not make him the governor of Youzhou, but it gives him a chance to take revenge.

The revenge of killing the father is never shared.

The rest will be discussed later.

Liu He immediately wrote a handwritten letter, hoping that Yuan Shao would appoint Yuan Tan as a general and him as his deputy, and they would take Gongsun Zan together.

In order to express his gratitude, he did his best and gave Xu You a generous gift.

Everyone in Yecheng knows that Xu You is greedy for money.

Xu You returned with satisfaction.
