Three Kingdoms: Cao Ying's mastermind, from nine to five

Chapter 244 Not to Xu Zhen!I want it all!
In Qinghe County, in the inner city prison.

Yuan Shang hangs on the wooden frame dejectedly, with his eyes closed, his body is covered with scars, he is already half dead.

But still panting.

Dang bang.

Yuan Shang was awakened by a clear and crisp sound. He suddenly raised his head and saw a familiar face.

Don't drive Xu You by my father's side back then.

At this time, he was wearing a black robe, with a knitted gauze cover outside, and the clothes were bright and gorgeous, his hair was tied in a bun, and a hosta was interspersed.

Nice smile.

"Xu You."

Yuan Shang yelled weakly, his tone was quite hateful, full of resentment and resentment, just these two words exuded a murderous air, wishing to bite Xu You to death with one bite.

It's a pity that he can't move and has no strength.

"Heh, the old minister back then, come to mock me now?"

Xu You smiled, opened the cell door and walked in easily, cupped his hands, and said with a cold smile: "It's true, it's not."

"Your father killed my whole family and made me truly alone. Seeing your brothers killing each other and each of you suffering is a reincarnation of destiny."

"However, I didn't come here to ridicule the young master, but to congratulate you."

"Hehe," Yuan Shang sighed, "Why do you like it? Why don't you continue to ridicule me, who would listen to this?"

Xu You smacked his lips and said seriously: "I am here to release you. At least the young master can return to Bingzhou. Isn't this a happy event?"

"You don't have to see me anymore, and you don't have to be ridiculed anymore. Thanks to the young master, Guo Tu is really loyal and willing to use [-] soldiers and horses in exchange for the young master's life."

Yuan Shang's expression suddenly changed. He wrote the letter well, but he didn't really want to write it.

He knew in his heart how he would gain a foothold in Bingzhou without soldiers and horses.

But not to mention, all the injuries in this body are consequences, not because he doesn't want to persist, but because he really can't stand the beating.

Yuan Shang was born with a golden spoon in his mouth, Yuan Shao regarded him as a treasure in his palm, because of his resemblance when he was young, he doted on him very much, he was afraid of melting in his mouth.

Where can it stand a fight.

He thought, wrote this letter, and also hoped that Guo Tu could persist, or deal with Jizhou a little bit, at least less.

Unexpectedly, Guo Tu really agreed, and last night he was ridiculed by the jailer, saying that he would be released soon, and he and Guo Tu had reached a consensus.

But someone said something, it's useless to go back anyway, and he must die at the hands of Jizhou soldiers and horses in the future.

This sentence made Yuan Shang uncomfortable all night, and he couldn't understand what it meant after thinking hard.

Now that Xu You stood in front of him, Yuan Shang's heart skipped a beat again with his half-smile expression.

Something must have happened.

Moreover, Guo Tu has reached a consensus with Jizhou. Yuan Shang can't even imagine the extent of this consensus.

If it goes to a deeper level, wouldn't it be more dangerous to go back, and Guo Tu...will he kill me for this, and then stand on his own? !
"Xu You, can you answer my question, why did Guo Tu agree?"

Yuan Shang asked straight to the point.

Xu You laughed, let out a series of cheerful laughter, and said with his hands behind his back, "Of course."

"This question, young master, should have an answer in his heart. The reason why Guo Tu agreed, of course, apart from the letter, Jizhou Wenchen also used some tricks."

"If Guo Tu does not agree to enter Bingzhou with rumors, he will rebel against himself and stand on his own feet. If Gao Lan and others force him to do so, he must agree."

Xu You knew a lot about the civil and martial arts under Yuan's command back then. Those people were familiar with each other and who were completely at odds.

You can probably guess what situation Guo Tu will face after the rumors arrive, because he has experienced all these situations before.

"It turns out that's true," Yuan Shang let out a little breath. He guessed it would be like this from the very beginning, and it was another internal struggle among advisers. After so many years of fighting, there was still no result.

To this day, they are still fighting each other.

Yuan Shang sighed, feeling desperate.

"Let's go then."

Yuan Shang said calmly.

Seeing his expression, Xu You basically understood that the young master's heart was already in turmoil. No matter whether he would believe it or not, he still had suspicions after all.

Once there is suspicion, you can give other scribes a chance. As for Zhuge Liang, Junhou and others' other plans, then Xu You doesn't know.

But he knew that these military advisers and scribes would definitely not be so simple, and they still had a plan.

……

Xu You released Yuan Shang himself, brought him to see the sun again, and personally led his troops and horses to take Yuan Shang out of the city, all the way from Jizhou to Bingzhou.

a few days later.

Guo Tu received the letter and sent Bingzhou soldiers and horses to Youzhou, and he also readily accepted it.

But from this moment, Guo Tu knew that it was impossible to ambush Xu Zhen.

"Xu Zhen is really cunning..."

Simpi could see Xu Zhen's intentions, and immediately said in a deep voice, "Oh, it would be a pity to send it to Youzhou."

"Gongze, I'm afraid we can't ambush Xu Zhen now, so what should we do? Do we really want to send [-] troops to Xu Zhen in such a safe way?"

"Now, I'm afraid it's a gift to Cao Cao. There's no other way. It's the only way to get the young master back," Guo Tu said coldly, standing with his hands behind his back, without any emotion.

At this moment, his heart was as firm as iron. These 5 people were carefully selected by him after spending three or four days.

Most of them are Gao Lan and Yuan Shangzhi's confidantes, and the confidantes under his command, with more than [-] soldiers left, are basically untouched.

All of them have been preserved, and these people will become his trump card to save his life. Guo Tu can foresee that after Yuan Shang returns, his status and destiny will definitely undergo earth-shaking changes.

If you don't prepare, you can only let others narrow it down.

"Then, act according to the original plan," Gao Lan said coldly.

Guo Tu smiled slightly, and said to Gao Lan, "General, when selecting soldiers, 3 dead soldiers have been selected and sent to Youzhou. These people will definitely be mixed into Cao Jun's camp."

"In the future, he will become our eyes and ears. During the war, he will suddenly attack Cao Cao's rear and cause chaos!"

Gao Lan squinted his eyes. It is understandable to say so. Guo Tu used this reason to select the dead soldiers at that time, which was able to convince everyone, and the dead soldiers also enthusiastically entered the camp and volunteered to repay Yuan's kindness.

In order to be able to contribute to the Lord in the future.

"Then act according to plan, Mr. Gongze has worked hard."

Gao Lan glanced at him calmly and said nothing more.

And when the chief general spoke, the other scribes naturally would not have any objections, they looked at each other and didn't say anything more.

At this point, [-] soldiers and [-] horses were sent to Youzhou. At the same time, the two counties of Yanmen were withdrawn and sent to Youzhou soldiers and horses to take over the defense.

Guo Tu also met Xu You on the border of Changshan County, and was going to take the young son Yuan Shang back to Bingzhou.

Seeing Xu You's life so well, Guo Tu was worried for a moment, and felt a little sour in his heart. The two galloped towards each other, and Xu You smiled brightly.

"The whole family was beheaded, and you can still laugh?"

"It seems that you can feel at ease when you return to Jizhou to live under the fence?"

Guo Tu sneered and ridiculed, using such words as a sharp edge, if Xu You in the past heard these words, he would explode and curse in an instant.

However, Xu You smiled without saying a word, then took a deep look at Guo Tu, and turned back to signal the guards to send Yuan Shang out for Guo Tu's people to welcome him.

Then he looked at him with cold eyes, bowed and said: "Guo Jun, let me do it myself."

"At this moment, I can't help but think of what your clansmen in Yingchuan said?"

Guo Tu was stunned, unable to react for a moment.

My tribe in Yingchuan?The Guo family in Yingchuan all voted for Yuan Shao, and the rest of them were just studying abroad and retiring to the mountains and forests, so there is no clan member who can speak witty words.

"All ears."

Guo Tu said coldly with curiosity.

"Yes, Guo Fengxiao, the Lord of Guo's family who is currently under the rule of today's son, once said that Guo Tu thinks very highly of himself, but he is actually a common man; Yuan Shao is a man of gold and jade, but he is really self-willed and not enough for planning."

"Now it seems that this is really the case, so let's do it for ourselves, Guo Jun, hahaha!"

Xu You laughed and turned around, leaving Guo Tu alone behind him panting heavily, his face flushed.

For these words, he had ridiculed Guo Jia back then, saying that he was narrow-minded, lacking in stamina, arrogant and arrogant despite his lack of talent, and a villain.

Just because!When he first came to join Yuan Shao, there were many celebrities and rare scholars gathered, Guo Jia was not well-known, he could only fight for literature, but he didn't expect him to lose his temper directly.

Scolding the civil and military forces of Yecheng severely, so that everyone can't get down.

Now the result is that it is all winners and losers, there is nothing to say.

But if it is really a murder, Guo Tu can't wait to rush up and die with Xu You.

However, hold back.

Guo Tu didn't want to die yet.

Xu You brought thousands of soldiers and horses, and there was a mountain road behind him. I don't know if there are still ambushes behind.

If he gets killed, not only will the young master not be able to take him back, but he may also confess here.

endured.

Guo Tu closed his eyes, forcibly suppressed the fire in his heart, and turned back to take the young master back.

but……

Guo Tu muttered again in his heart, and his heart skipped a beat.

What does he mean by saying twice that he can take care of himself?
……

In Youzhou, Cao Ren settled down at Yanmen, and got a general understanding of the current situation in this county.

Except for a few people from other races, there are very few big Han people. Basically, it is impossible to store grain and cultivate land in Yanmen, and it is difficult to graze animals and poultry.

Cao Ren felt that there was something wrong with the 5 people. At least for now, it would be even more difficult to calm these Bingzhou troops in a short period of time.

Maybe it will cause a mutiny. Besides, it is not certain whether these people will rebel.

A mutiny of 5 people and a sudden attack at night would be a devastating blow to Cao Ren.

These people should not be given weapons and blades, nor should they be given armor, nor should they be fed too much.

"General, send all the people to Jizhou first. This is the Lord's order. If you stay by your side, it will be a disaster."

Xu Huang said softly from the side, "Yanmen has no food, and the walls are like dirt walls, so it's not easy to stick to it. Follow the previously discussed plan."

"Well," Cao Ren nodded, and was about to give an order, but Cao Zhen, who had come under his command and led the army as a general, suddenly snorted coldly, "Then aren't we really working for Xu Zhen?"

"It's not bad, but there should be some benefits!? Xu Junhou himself is very generous, so it's okay for us to keep 1 people."

Cao Ren looked at Xu Huang as if, Xu Huang shook his head slightly, "It can't be like this."

"Hey, General Xu deserves to have the surname Xu," Cao Zhen teased, "We deserve it. Are we going to give the 5 people to Xu Zhen again? Forget it, can we stay for a while?"

"If so, some people are willing to enter the camp?"

"It's not a bad idea to follow Uncle Zixiao voluntarily, right?"

Cao Ren's face was serious, but he was actually looking forward to it. The [-] Bingzhou soldiers were all veterans who had experienced the war.

Among the 5 people, there are also several people who are the post of school lieutenant and capital lieutenant.

After gathering, the soldiers and horses damaged during the battles in Dai County and Shanggu County can be replenished.

"Wait a minute," Cao Ren said calmly.

"General!" Xu Huang's face suddenly became a little anxious, "My lord has ordered that when we get the troops, we must go south immediately and hand them over to Jizhou! Let the lords deal with these 5 people!"

"Needless to say, I've made up my mind," Cao Ren raised his hand and stopped, "How do you understand the prime minister's heart?"

"The prime minister and I are brothers in the clan. How can I not know his intentions? If I can really get soldiers and horses to join me, and the army's morale is stable, it's too late for him to be happy! How can I blame him!"

"This..." Xu Huang wanted to say more, but was stopped by Cao Ren, "Don't say it! I know my lord best. I came to train these 5 people. It's easy to take the hearts of prisoners of war."

"General... oh."

Xu Huang immediately shook his head, "Since that's the case, I'll send a hundred cavalry to inform the lord of this matter first, and then set up camp outside the city to support the city. If there is a mutiny, I can come to help."

"Hahaha, good!" Cao Ren slapped his hands on his thighs immediately, his burly and strong figure was majestic, "Then I can train soldiers and horses, you can't compete with me!"

Xu Huang was still sincere, bowed and said: "I don't want it for the last general, it's just a support."

"Okay, I'll give you another five thousand soldiers and horses, and you take your troops to station outside the southern city to support the camp."

Cao Rendun felt relieved. In his opinion, this was a free opportunity. After the training, maybe 5 people would be his own. As long as he can calm down, he will immediately expand the army so much, and the military strength will increase greatly.

At that time, Bowen will definitely not be able to say anything, at worst, he will give him a good apology after returning to Jizhou.

……

Bingzhou, in the military camp of Taiyuan County.

Yuan Shang just came back and was recuperating in the camp. He was whipped and punished in Qinghe and Zhongshan, Jizhou, and suffered terribly.

But he still called Guo Tu to the bed.

"Mr. Gongze, I heard that it was your decision to exchange me back and send [-] soldiers away?"

Yuan Shang's tone now is still very weak.

So it sounded weak, but the sharpness of the words made Guo Tu terrified.

"Yes," Guo Tu cupped his hands, "but young master, this is also to allow you to come back and preside over the overall situation."

"It's for your Guo Tu's reputation to be preserved." Yuan Shang looked at him weakly, staring at him firmly.

"Of course not. I have never had a second heart. I have selected 5 people who are loyal to the Yuan family. I have already issued a secret order to go to Jizhou and wait for the opportunity to kill Xu Zhen."

"3 people, under this order, even if one person succeeds, Xu Zhen can be replaced! He dares to accept these 5 people, and I can guarantee that Xu Zhen will never have peace!"

After Yuan Shang heard this, he coughed twice, struggled to get up immediately, then turned over and took out a letter behind him, took out a letter from the couch, and threw it on the ground with a bang.

"Then how do you explain this letter!?"
