Han Shimou

Chapter 681 Yuan Shao Missed the Opportunity

"It's not good!! Food and grass have been robbed!!!!!!"

Yuan Shao's face changed drastically in shock, and he hurriedly sent Zhang Tai and Chunyu Qiong to cut off the main road. Just as Xu Chu was returning from burning food, just as he was about to confront him, Dianwei and Xiahou Dun's troops arrived behind him.After two attacks, Yuan's army was killed and scattered. It was unstoppable. The three generals joined forces and returned to Guandu stronghold.When Cao Cao heard that Xu Chu had achieved success, he liked to laugh and rewarded him heavily.The army was divided into camps in front of the stronghold, forming a momentum of jijiao.

But when Han Meng's defeated army returned to the camp, Yuan Shao was furious and wanted to kill Han Meng, and the officials persuaded him to dismiss him.Xu You's expression was dignified, and he bowed to say goodbye.

"Food is the most important thing in the march. Food and grass are the lifeblood of the army. If it is cut off, it will perish. You must be careful. This time, the power should be Jingzhong. Wuchao is the place where grain is stored. The Lord must send heavy troops to guard it."

When Yuan Shao heard Xu You mention Wuchao, he was very anxious and said hastily.

"What the military adviser said is reasonable, I haven't woken up to it unless you remind me. Now I have made a plan. I will send people back to Yedu to supervise the food and grass immediately, so there is no shortage of education."

So Yuan Shao sent Guo Tu, general Chun Yuqiong, and the generals Sui Yuanjin, Han Ju, Lu Weihuang, Zhao Rui, etc., to lead [-] horses and rush to Wuchao.

That Chunyu Qiong happened to drink wine, and the sergeant dared to be angry and dare not speak out, so he was afraid of it.After the army arrived at Wuchao, Chunyu Qiong gathered to drink with the generals all day long, and all important military affairs were abandoned.

In addition, Cao Cao's army was running out of food, and Gao Lan's army did not arrive for a long time. Cao Cao was afraid of the unexpected, so he sent an envoy to Luoyang to teach Xun Yu how to deal with food and grass quickly, and Xingye Jie went to the army to help.The envoy went with the letter, but he could not travel more than thirty miles. He was caught by Yuan Jun and bound to see Xu You, Yuan Jun's military commander.Xu You was overjoyed, and now he found Cao Cao's food urging letter from the envoy, so he came to Yuan Shao's tent to look for it.

"Hahahaha!!! My lord is overjoyed, overjoyed!!!!!!"

"The current situation of the war is unpredictable. Our army is in a stalemate, and Qu Yi's reinforcements have not arrived. I am worried in my heart, but I am happy. Where does this joy come from!?"

In the tent, Yuan Shao frowned deeply, Xu You smiled brightly, and handed over the food urging letter to Yuan Shao.Yuan Shao took the book and read it, but after reading it, he was not happy, but more doubtful and hesitant.

Seeing this, Xu You hurriedly bowed and confessed.

"Cao Cao's army at Guandu has been with me for a long time, and Luoyang will be empty. If my lord divides an army into a starry night to attack Luoyang, Luoyang will surely be captured, and Cao Cao, who doesn't know what happened before, is fighting against my lord here. Today Cao Cao's food and grass have been exhausted, the Lord can take this opportunity to attack him from two directions, so that Cao Cao will surely be captured!"

Xu You's eyes were magnanimous, and once he made a plan, he would put people to death.If Yuan Shao obeyed such a great plan, even if Cao Cao won Gao Lan's vote, Cao Cao would have died under Xu You's plan before Gao Lan's army arrived, and he would have hated Jiuquan.

It seems that there is a definite number in the dark, and at such a critical time, Yuan Shao's natural hesitation is tiring.Seeing Yuan Shao frowned, he shook his head and said hesitantly.

"Cao Cao has always had a lot of tricks, this book is probably his trick to lure the enemy. Don't act rashly and fall into Aman's trick!"

When Xu You heard this, anxiety surged in his heart, and his tone became a little bit tougher, and he shouted anxiously.

"Such a great opportunity, my lord must not hesitate. If you don't take it now, you will suffer from it in the future. There will be endless troubles in the future!"

Yuan Shao hated these ominous words the most, especially because it indicated that he would lose to Cao Cao, the most hated opponent.Yuan Shao was angry and was about to scold him, when suddenly an envoy came from Ye County and presented Guo's books.

In the book, we first talk about the transportation of grain, and then we say that when Xu You was in Jizhou, he abused private property, even though he ordered his nephew to do evil and collect money and food. Now that Guo Tu has taken his nephew and sent him to prison, he just wants to ask Yuan Shao how to deal with it.

Yuan Shao Guanshu was furious, he didn't expect that his army's military advisers were all greedy and greedy, pointing at Xu You, he shouted angrily.

"Abusive, greedy, shameless! You still have the face to offer advice to me!"

Xu You was shocked when he heard the words, and quickly knelt down, shouting that he was wronged.Yuan Shao smashed the book to him, Xu You quickly picked it up and read it.Yuan Shao's advisers had been fighting for power for a long time, and Xu You immediately understood that it was Guo Tuyu who wanted him to seize the position of military advisor.Xu You felt wronged, so he immediately explained to Yuan Shao.But how could Yuan Shao write a letter, he even shouted.

"Xu Yuan, you have been with me for the longest time. In the past, we made friends with Cao Cao and Yuan Shu as the 'Four Young Masters of Luoyang'. I don't need to say more. Now you see that I am not as good as Cao Aman, and you have evil intentions. Think about that Cao Aman also noticed your intentions, and secretly sent someone to communicate with you. You must have accepted his money and bribed him, and worked as a spy for him, earning money from our army! I should have beheaded you for your serious crime, but in the past Friendship, right now is at stake! You quit quickly, and you are not allowed to meet each other in the future!"

Xu You was yelled at by Yuan Shao and quit, feeling wronged and hated in his heart, he looked up to the sky and sighed.

"Loyalty is not distinguished! Unreasonable! Insufficiency and conspiracy! My nephew has been harmed by Guo Tu, and today he is so humiliated by Yuan Benchu, what face do I have to see the people of Jizhou again!!!"

Xu You sighed and became discouraged, so he wanted to draw his sword and kill himself.Take the sword from left and right to persuade.

"Gong is so resourceful and resourceful, a hero in the world, how can he be born so lightly? Yuan Shao kept saying that he would be captured by Cao Cao in the future. Since you have an old relationship with Cao Gong, why don't you abandon the secret and turn to the bright? If you can help Cao Gong defeat Yuan Shao in the future, why worry about not being famous? Wealthy!?"

Just these two words awakened Xu You.Xu You's expression changed again and again, and finally decided to abandon Yuan and vote for Cao, so he cleaned up the administration overnight and went straight to Cao Cao's office.

But he said that Xu You stepped out of the camp secretly and was on his way to Cao Ying when he was captured by soldiers ambush.Xu You relied on his friendship with Cao Cao, and was very arrogant. Although he had no prisoners, he still shouted to Cao soldiers around him arrogantly.

"Don't be rude!!! I am an old friend of Prime Minister Cao. This time, I have to report about the life and death of Prime Minister Cao, and the important affairs of the world! Please inform me quickly that Xu You from Nanyang is coming to see you. The appearance of feeding, welcome quickly."

Xu You said it with confidence, and the soldiers didn't dare to hesitate when they saw this, and hurriedly reported to the village.At present, Cao Cao just undressed and rested. When he heard that Xu You had eloped to the village, he was overjoyed.

Seeing this, the surrounding soldiers sighed secretly that Xu You knew things like a god, and he knew Cao Cao very well.Cao Cao treated each other with great courtesy, and Xu You was naturally proud of it. After entering the account, Cao Cao bowed his hands and bowed to the ground first.Xu You was overwhelmed by Cao Cao's great gift, and hurriedly helped him up.

"Meng De is the prime minister of a great man. I'm no more than a mere commoner. How humble is he?"

Cao Cao laughed and said with a concentrated voice.

"Gong is my old friend, how dare you compare yourself to a famous prince!"

Xu You's heart was shaken again and again, Cao Cao was so respectful and virtuous, and the treatment he received under Yuan Shao's command was completely different.Xu You was very embarrassed and sighed.

"A certain day in the past was really short-sighted, but Meng De was such a wise master, and he succumbed to Yuan Shao's tent. Yuan Shao was headstrong, refused to listen to his words, and refused to follow his plans. Now he is abandoned to see his old friend. I hope you will accept it."

Cao Cao's fine eyes that seemed to be able to swallow the world narrowed for a moment, his heart was unstoppably ecstatic, but the surface was still a little dull.

"If Yuan is willing to come, I will be of great help! Wang Yuan will teach me and break Yuan's plan!"

Xu You was not in a hurry, so he sold the pass and said suddenly.

"I once taught Yuan Shao to attack Luoyang with light cavalry. When things are done, I taught Yuan Shao to attack Luoyang's soldiers head to tail here at Guandu. What does Meng De think of this plan?"

Cao Cao exclaimed in surprise when he heard the plan change.

"If Yuan Shao uses a far-reaching strategy, I will suffer a catastrophe!"

Xu You smiled triumphantly, his arrogance increased a bit, and he suddenly asked again.

"How much is Meng De's army ration?"

Cao Cao felt guilty when he was suddenly asked by Xu You, but he still answered without changing his expression.

"It's enough to last a year."

Xu You snorted and smiled. '

"I'm afraid not."

Cao Cao frowned, and said again.

"Actually, it's only half a year."

With an angry face, Xu You stood up in a huff and walked out of the tent.

"I agree with each other with sincerity, but Meng De doesn't believe me, what I expected! If so, you might as well go yourself, lest you be humiliated!"

Cao Cao grabbed Xu You and hurriedly asked him to stay.

"Don't be angry, I don't dare to lose important things in the army at will. Let me tell the truth. In fact, the army's rations can last for three months."

Seeing that Cao Cao was still lying, Xu You laughed loudly.

"Hahahaha!! Everyone says that Meng De is a hero. What I saw today is indeed true."

Cao Cao was startled in his heart, but on the surface he was joking.

"Don't you hear that soldiers are not tired of deceit!"

Then Cao Cao stretched out a finger, put it in front of Xu You, put his ear next to Xu You's, and whispered.

"Actually, the army has no food for this month."

"Don't lie to me! The food is exhausted!"

Xu You suddenly shouted, Cao Cao's eyes widened, his face was full of astonishment.

"Far away, how do you know it?"

Xu You pulled out of his bosom, Cao Cao and Xun Yu's reminder letter to show Cao Cao.

"Meng De knows, who wrote this book?"

"I wrote this book myself, where can I get it?"

Cao Cao's face changed continuously, Xu You smiled triumphantly, and immediately told him about his envoy.Cao Cao groaned for a while, and at the same time, his mind was spinning, and he suddenly took Xu You's hand.

"Yuan came here with nostalgia for old friends, there must be a big plan to teach me, and I will not hide it anymore."

Xu You seemed to enjoy it very much. Cao Cao begged him so humbly, which made him feel more dignified.But Xu You also knew that he would accept it when he saw it was good, and he bowed respectfully first, and said in a concentrated voice.

"Duke Ming fought against the enemy with a single army, and his military supplies were exhausted. He did not seek a quick victory. This is the way to sit and wait for death. You have a strategy. In just three days, the 40 Yuan army will be destroyed without a fight. I wonder if Duke Ming is willing to listen?"

Cao Cao's eyes exploded with a huge light, which almost covered the entire tent, he said anxiously with joy.

"Wish to hear good advice."

Xu You's bright eyes exuded a bit of hatred, and he spoke quickly.

"Yuan Shao's army has a lot of food and supplies, and all the black nests have been accumulated. Now Chunyu Qiong is the guard. This man is a common man, and he is addicted to alcohol. He will not know how to defend. Meng De can choose the police to pretend to be Yuan Jiang Jiang Qi, and lead the army to the army. If he protects the food and burns his food, grass and supplies during the time, the 40 Yuan army will be in chaos in less than three days."

"Hahahahaha!!! Miao Miaomiao!!! Yuan Benchu ​​will definitely die this time!!!!!!"

When Cao Cao heard this, he was overjoyed and laughed out loud.If all of Yuan Shao's rations were really burned, his army would be in chaos, and Gao Lan would arrive soon, so how could Yuan Shao survive?

Xu You frowned slightly, as if he realized that Cao Cao still had a lot to hide, but Xu You knew that he was new here, and if he asked more about some confidential matters, Cao Cao would doubt him.The two agreed that Cao Cao would treat Xu You seriously, add more rewards, and stay in the fortress.

The next day, Cao Cao ordered Dianwei and Xu Chu to disguise five thousand tiger and leopard riders as Yuan Jun and prepare to go to Wuchao to rob food.Cheng Yu rushed over after hearing the news, and he had doubts, so he remonstrated with Cao Cao.

"Wuchao is the place where Yuan Shao garnered food, how safe is it?"
