Chapter 293
Yuan Shu was condescending and had a panoramic view of everyone's expressions. He kept sneering in his heart. He raised his head with a solemn expression and a solemn voice, implying murderous intent.

"I know that people from the imperial court and from all over Jiangdong are constantly writing to you."

"Among you, some are tipping off the news, some are speaking ambiguously, and some are secretly communicating."

"For example, Cao Cao,"

Yuan Shu looked a little cold and said: "I could have surrounded Sun Jian in Wucheng and captured Wu County in one fell swoop. Why did Sun Jian escape so quickly? Huh, just because I don't tell you, it doesn't mean that I don't know!"

Dozens of people below lowered their heads one after another. No one dared to raise their head or take a breath.

All of them are being drawn to each other, and maybe some of them are firmly on Yuan Shu's side.

But who dares to take out those letters?Who dares to admit it?

Xu You sat there, not squinting, but feeling cold in his heart.

He felt the danger. Yuan Shu even dared to proclaim himself emperor. What else could he not dare to do?
'We can't follow Tian Feng's footsteps, we have to find a way to send our people out...'

Xu You silently thought of a solution.

Because Tian Feng "disobeyed" Yuan Shu, all his people were killed by Yuan Shu.

Xu You was not the only one who thought so, many people here were feeling anxious.

Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor as a result of discussions between him and several of his relatives, and then informed everyone present.

Who dares to say 'no' when you are at the table with the sword behind you?

In the silence, a slight chill circulated.

Yuan Shu was naturally aware of a certain atmosphere in which everyone was in danger, but he didn't care at all. He laughed loudly and said, "No need to worry, sirs. The Han Dynasty has exhausted its power, and the world knows it. Now I am sitting on half of the country, and the Han Dynasty has been destroyed. , its replacement is just around the corner! My lords, here today, you will be able to choose the high position in Luoyang City in the future!"

"My lord Shengming!"

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

'Lord' and 'Your Majesty' come and go, intertwining one after another, which is extremely jarring.

Yuan Shu didn't care at all. He showed kindness and power and said, "The young emperor sent Zhang Wen here. What should you do?"

Guo Tu took the lead and said without hesitation: "Your Majesty, I think that defeating Yuan Shao first is a deterrent. By then, the world will be free and your Majesty will take possession of it!"

Seeing Guo Tu's unabashed flattery, Xu You laughed inwardly.

If it were in the past, he would be the first to take credit. At this moment, he didn't want to say a word, and even wanted to avoid and become invisible.

Many people in the hall looked surprised. In the blink of an eye, did they really become 'Your Majesty'?

Seeing that the others were silent, Yuan Shu was filled with anger. His expression remained unchanged and he said calmly: "Guo Qing's family, what do you think?"

Although it was Yuan Huan's suggestion that Yuan Shu ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, Yuan Shu still called him 'Guo Qing's family'. Yuan Huan still felt awkward and said quickly: "I...I agree with the wishes of Military Advisor Guo."

"The minister waits for the second opinion!"

"The lower officials wait for the second proposal."

Everyone took the opportunity to echo, and the words "Xiaguan" and "Chen" overlapped, clearly expressing the true feelings of everyone present, and also showing the divisions in Yuan Shu's shogunate.

Yuan Shu's eyes flashed coldly, and he knew it was not the time for an attack, so he laughed loudly and said: "Okay! After the enthronement ceremony, I, the emperor, will go on a personal expedition to destroy Yuan Shu first!"

Xu You was surprised when he heard this. Is this Yuan Shu still thinking about ascending the throne?

At this time, shouldn't we take a preemptive strike and catch the officers and soldiers off guard?

Is it possible to wait for the officers and soldiers to be integrated, encircle them on all sides, and launch a thunderous attack?
Obviously, not only Xu You thought about it, but others also noticed it. They looked at each other secretly and occasionally whispered to each other, but no one mentioned it.

Yuan Shu was now a little complacent, and he didn't care that much about these "disloyal ministers" in the hall. After explaining a few words, he stood up and left.

After Yuan Shu left, there was a lot of discussion in the hall, and people gathered in twos and threes, all with worried faces, and there was no atmosphere of joy at all from Conglong Zhigong.

Xu You endured it for a while, and then hurried out after someone walked out.

He couldn't care about anything else, he had a strong premonition in his heart that Yuan Shu would not become a big deal, and he was not far from defeat!

"Ziyuan!"

Just after walking through an intersection, I suddenly heard a low call.

Xu You turned around and looked, vaguely feeling familiar. He couldn't remember it for a moment. Seeing his anxious expression, he looked around and walked over quickly. Before he could raise his hand, the man pulled him over and walked a few steps inside. .

The man looked around again carefully and said in a low voice: "The lower official is Nanyang Zhuge..."

Xu You was startled. Although Nanyang Zhuge was not a famous family, he was quite famous, but he had no friendship with him.

"Ziyuan doesn't remember me?"

The man paused for a moment, and seeing that Xu You couldn't remember, he simply stopped talking and said: "Forget it, Ziyuan, that Yuan Shu has sent people to take care of everyone's family members in the city. If there is any deviant intention, Tian Feng will be the end!" "

Xu You was shocked and said: "Really?"

The man nodded heavily, looked back, and said, "It was Guo Tu who did it. I know he has a grudge against you, so I came here to tell you. It's best to be careful. If your guard is still lax now, I will escape tonight." Please take care of yourself!"

Xu You wanted to say something else, but the man covered his face with his hands and left in a hurry.

Xu You looked at his back, his expression turned ugly.

He did not doubt that this person was bad. This was something Yuan Shu would do, especially Guo Tu, who was even more vicious!
"No, we have to get out as soon as possible!" Xu You was so flustered that he walked out of the alley and went straight to the mansion.

As he walked, he thought of possible shelters.

Xu You's friendship is still very extensive. Looking around, the best friendship is between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao.

Thinking of these two people, Xu You kept analyzing in his mind.

The most recent one is Yuan Shao. As a young ranger, Xu You was very close to brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu. Later, he was able to escape from Luoyang because of the protection of the Yuan family.

If you go to Yuan Shao, you will definitely be reused!
The other one is Cao Cao.

The current situation is very different from a few years ago. Cao Cao is already the most popular upstart in the Han Dynasty. He has stationed a large number of troops in Qiao County, has won the favor of the emperor, and has a limitless future.

Xu You had a relatively good relationship with him. If things were to go away now, it would be hard to forget the past, and he would still be able to have a promising future.

Just as he was thinking about it, Xu You returned to the mansion and saw many faces around him, looming and staring at his mansion.

Xu You also saw a few familiar people with gloomy expressions. He snorted coldly and walked in through the door.

As soon as they arrived in the back hall and before they could sit down, a servant came to report, "Master, some of your colleagues came through the back door and said they had important matters to discuss."

Xu You sneered and said, "Why do you need to go through the back door? Tell them that I'm sick and don't see anyone."

The servant seemed to know something. He came closer and whispered: "Master, they seem to be in a hurry."

Xu You knew it well and said, "Do as I say."

The servant responded, turned and left.

Xu You sat there, pouring a cup of tea by himself, with a frown on his face and a gloomy look on his face.

He naturally knew the purpose of those people coming, but he already had the intention to leave and didn't want to get involved anymore. All he was thinking about now was how to escape safely.

Running away alone couldn't be easier.

But Xu You followed Yuan Shu and not only married a wife and had children, but also bought a huge family property. These are not things that can be thrown away easily.

For a time, Xu You didn't have any good ideas. It was impossible to take away such a big business quietly.

But Xu You couldn't bear to give up, and after thinking hard for a long time, he couldn't find any good solution.

At this moment, the door to Shouchun City was open, and no one knew how many people were coming in and out.

Some people wanted to escape in a hurry, while others rushed up to 'congratulate' them.

Shouchun City was very lively for a while, not as tense as before the war, and more like a carnival bustling city.

But within three days, a piece of 'bad news' came, disrupting the excitement of Shouchun City.

In Yuan Shu's temporary palace, several people were summoned urgently.

The originally simple back hall is now magnificently decorated, showing the emperor's atmosphere everywhere.

However, Yuan Shu did not look happy. He looked at the people below with a gloomy expression and said, "I just received an urgent report. Shi Xie, Liu Biao, Sun Jian, and Yuan Shao have already sent troops."

Those sitting down include counselors Guo Tu, Yuan Huan, Xu You, etc., plus generals such as Ju Yi and Ji Ling.

Basically, they are Yuan Shu's femoral and humerus, and they are the arms of Yuan Shu's new dynasty.

But after listening to Yuan Shu's words, everyone pretended to think and did not speak in a hurry.

Only Xu You sneered in his heart. If you ascend the throne, how can the court remain indifferent?Instead of hurrying up to prepare for war, you were obsessed with the enthronement ceremony. Now you know you are in a hurry?

Guo Tu, Yuan Huan and others remained silent because they were unsure of Yuan Shu's thoughts.

Ever since Yuan Shu was about to ascend the throne, the distance between him and them had unknowingly widened rapidly, creating more barriers and wariness, making them feel wary.

When Yuan Shu saw that everyone was silent, his expression became increasingly ugly. He looked around, landed on Xu You's face, and said in a deep voice: "Xu You!"

Xu You's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly turned sideways and raised his hand, saying: "Commander Guo's intention is a good strategy at the moment."

Yuan Shu frowned, Guo Tu's intention was to concentrate his forces first, attack Yuan Shao, and strive to turn passivity into initiative.

But now, with the imperial officers and soldiers surrounding them from all directions, can they still take the initiative to attack?
He waited for Xu You to continue speaking, but Xu You had already retracted his hand and looked away. He had already finished speaking.

Yuan Shu suppressed his anger and waited for a while. Seeing that there was still no one to make suggestions, he had to ask: "Yuan Qing's family?"

Yuan Huan looked flattered and said: "Your Majesty, the troops are coming from three sides. We cannot deal with them from all sides. We might as well stick to the three fronts and attack Yuan Shao first."

Yuan Shu finally heard something useful, pondered for a while, and said: "Okay. Ju Yi, you will lead [-] troops. Kill Yuan Shao's slave first, and wait for reinforcements elsewhere!"

"I obey the decree!" Ju Yi said loudly.

With Zhang He's defection, Ju Yi became Yuan Shu's number one general.

Others remained silent, not daring or wanting to make any suggestions.

Without waiting for everyone's reaction, Yuan Shu said calmly: "Step up preparations for the enthronement ceremony. After the enthronement ceremony, I will lead the expedition in person!"

Xu You's face twitched involuntarily.

At this moment, Yuan Shu was still thinking about the enthronement ceremony!
