Three Kingdoms, I open a tavern in Xudu

When Xu You woke up drunk, it was already the next morning.

After the hangover, his head was in severe pain, Xu You shook his head vigorously, he felt very uncomfortable.

"Don't drink so much next time!"

Xu You thought to himself, and then he got up and was busy with family affairs, who should he ask for help this time?

Just as he walked out of the room, he accidentally saw his housekeeper packing up his things. Is he going to run away?

"Stand, where do you want?" Xu You stopped him in a cold voice.

The housekeeper had no choice but to turn around and said in a trembling voice: "Master... Your lord, you are in great trouble, I think you should also escape from Yecheng as soon as possible!"

Xu You said angrily: "My mouth is full of nonsense, I am a counselor under the general's command, how could there be a catastrophe?"

The butler said: "My lord, you came back drunk yesterday and said a lot of things to scold the general, and now everyone in the city knows that you have scolded the general. You also said that the general is not the master of the Ming Dynasty, and he is far inferior to Prime Minister Cao. Prime Minister Cao."

"what!"

Xu You was so excited that he was about to jump up, and then he said angrily: "Master Cao, it must be you who said those words, it must be you!"

The housekeeper shook his head and said, "My lord, you have been scolding on the way back, and people passing by heard you, and you are still scolding when you get home. All our servants can hear it clearly."

Having said this, he paused for a moment, and continued: "Sir, I am more afraid of death, I will leave first, and all the other servants in the family will leave, you should leave as soon as possible!"

After that, he no longer cared about Xu You, packed his things and hurried out of the house.

After being stunned for a while, Xu You finally understood the meaning of imminent disaster, and found that he was the only one left in the huge mansion.

He also remembered that he dared to scold Yuan Shao for not being a Ming lord, and far inferior to Prime Minister Cao, and it would be outrageous to seek refuge with Prime Minister Cao.

Thinking of this, he went out quickly, his life was in danger, and he had already put his family's affairs behind him.

Soon, Xu You arrived at Cao Lan's tavern.

Seeing that Cao Lan was also packing up and the tavern was about to close, Xu You hurriedly said, "Shopkeeper Cao, where are you going?"

"Master Xu, do you still dare to come to my place?"

Cao Lan quickly said: "The story of you scolding the general here has spread all over Ye City. I am worried that I will be implicated by you, so I have to run away early."

"Looking at the acquaintance, I can only remind you to leave as soon as possible! If it is late, the general's people will come to Yecheng, and I am afraid they will never leave again."

Cao Lan closed the door of the tavern, took her luggage and left in a hurry.

"Shopkeeper Xiao Cao, wait!"

Xu You also worried: "Is this matter really that serious?"

Cao Lan pretended to be afraid and said: "It's not serious, Mr. Xu, you can ask the people in Yecheng and you will know that I can't stay in Yecheng any longer. I am thinking about going south to Xudu, which is the place where Prime Minister Cao belongs." Safety."

And then, Cao Lan also ran away... It should be because of his success.

Drunk and swearing at people was originally a trivial matter, but under the impetus of Cao Lan, everyone in the city knew that even Xu You's servants who escaped were also his methods.

Xu You was even more uncertain. He was very flustered, so he asked a few passers-by casually, and it was exactly as Cao Lan said.

"Prime Minister, I'm going to seek refuge with Prime Minister Cao!"

Xu You went home to pack his luggage and fled Yecheng before Yuan Shao's men came.

-

It was already afternoon when Yuan Shao got the news.

It was too late to go after Xu You.

"Kill Xu You's family members!"

Yuan Shao is now very angry and wants to kill someone.

This time, Guo Tu and the others dared not say anything against Xu You's family being killed.

"My lord, since Xu You betrayed us, he will definitely go to join Cao Cao, and it will be troublesome," said the judge.

Xu You is one of Yuan Shao's counselors, and knows a lot about Yuan Shao, even secret information.

Enduring the pain in his buttocks, Zhang Yun said loudly: "My lord, Xu You used to be in charge of food and grass. His subordinates thought that if he surrendered to Cao Cao, he would definitely lead Cao's thieves to plunder our food and grass. Once there is no food, it will be our responsibility." The most fatal drawback, I think the granary should be heavily guarded!"

Guo Tu said: "General Zhang, I may not be as good as you in leading the army to fight, but you are far inferior to me in terms of making suggestions and trying to figure out people's hearts. I think that after Xu You surrendered to Cao Cao, he would definitely find a way to help Cao Cao break Liyang."

Shen Pei nodded and said: "The grain and grass are in the rear. If we want to sneak attack on the granary, we have to bypass Li Yang. We only need to set up more defenses around Li Yang to prevent sneak attacks. The most important thing at present is to stick to Li Yang."

Zhang Xi wanted to say something else, but seeing Gao Lan give him a look, he couldn't say more.

Thinking of the previous events, Zhang He was a little disheartened, opened his mouth, and finally didn't say anything.

After leaving Yuan Shao's account, Zhang Yun sighed, "My lord, it's really not the Ming lord."

As he spoke, he looked to the south, thoughtfully.

-

Inside Cao Jun's camp.

For Xu You's surrender, Cao Cao personally went out to welcome him with full sincerity. In addition, Xu You was an old friend of Cao Cao, so he was even more enthusiastic.

Moreover, Chen Yang once told him that Xu You's surrender was the key to Yuan Shao's retreat.

In history, Xu You took refuge in Cao Cao, and he proposed a sneak attack on Wuchao, but now Wuchao has not fallen, and it is still the territory of Boss Cao.

However, when Yuan Shao's army went south, there must be a place to store food, and the final result was the same.

Seeing Cao Cao treating him so courteously, and comparing Yuan Shao's indifference, Xu You was in a good mood, feeling that he had finally found a master.

"Ziyuan, I want to destroy Yuan Shao and take over Yecheng. You have been under Yuan Shao's account for so long and know everything about Yuan Shao. Is there a way?"

After the two sides exchanged polite words, Cao Cao directly asked him for a strategy.

Ziyuan is Xu You's nickname.

He thought for a while, and said: "Burn Yuan Shao's grain and grass, and it will be destroyed without attack!"

"If you want to burn the grain and grass, you have to go around Liyang. Yuan Shao knew that you came to vote from Ziyuan, so he wouldn't go unarmed, so I'm afraid it won't work, right?" Xun Yu shook his head and said.

"No!"

Xu You said confidently: "I know there is a little-known shortcut that can go straight to Liyang's granary without Yuan Shao's defense. When we go to attack the granary, we will change into Yuan Jun's armor. I am in Liyang's granary. There are also a few cronies in the middle, which Yuan Shao can't guard against."

Before coming to surrender, he also made full preparations for revenge.

Hearing Xu You's opinion, Cao Cao felt that it was reasonable, but turned to look at Chen Yang again.

"Zian, do you think it's possible?" Cao Cao was asking for Chen Yang's opinion.

"This must be Chen Zian who broke through Bingzhou and Yecheng?"

Xu You was definitely no stranger to Chen Yang, but seeing Cao Cao value Chen Yang so much, he was quite dissatisfied, and asked, "Zian, do you think this plan can work?"

Chen Yang nodded and said: "Of course it can be done. The prime minister can listen to Ziyuan's opinion. After this battle, Yuan Shao will definitely retreat."

Seeing that Chen Yang agreed with his strategy, Xu You was very proud.
