Chapter 468 One after another
...

After successfully sending Tian Feng and Wen Chou away, Zhang Liao looked at the letter in his hand and put it away without opening it to read the contents.

Back in his house, Zhang Liao put the letter on the table. At this time, there was another letter on the table.

Zhang Liao looked at it carefully, then placed the letter in his hand on top of another letter and stacked them together.

I regained my composure, and before I could continue to deal with government affairs, the messenger who was reporting at the door of the government arrived at the door again.

"Report to the prefect, the messenger from Yanzhou wants to see you!!" The messenger shouted loudly at the door.

Zhang Liao looked at the table he had just prepared and could only sigh, put the table away again, and then said to the soldier at the door, "Let him in!"

People from Jizhou are here, and now it’s Yanzhou, arriving on the same day. Is this agreed upon?
Zhang Liao couldn't help but shook his head and quickly calmed down his mind to calm down again.

"You can actually see Jizhou's carriage here. It seems we are not the only ones who have ideas." Xun You looked at the carriage going away and noticed the sign on the carriage.

"What? There are people from Jizhou who arrived before us, so we won't fail, right?" Xiahou Dun quickly spoke up and asked Xun You.

Xun You took a look at Xiahou Dun and was quite satisfied with the candidate that Cao Cao arranged to escort.

Not only is the strength sufficient, but the most important thing is the identity. Coming here this time is enough to prove your sincerity.

"According to the intelligence we have gathered, Lu Fengxian is not in Yanmen at the moment. The only one who remains in Yanmen is his general Zhang Wenyuan. He can't make the final decision on this kind of thing." Xun You said calmly, and at the same time Comforting Xiahou Dun.

But in his heart, Xun You felt something was wrong.

In a matter like this, whoever comes first will definitely have an advantage. Besides, Yuan Shao has many capable people under his command. How can he not understand the benefits?

Regardless of whether it is voluntary or forced, as long as you dare to come, you must have some ability.

In this case, there is a high probability that Zhang Liao, a general under Lu Bu, can be persuaded.

As long as Zhang Liao has a certain tendency, he can influence Lu Bu's choice to a certain extent. In this case, the advantage of arriving first is clear at a glance.

"I see. It seems we still have a chance. There's no need to worry too much." Xiahou Dun laughed casually and said quite relaxedly.

Xun You nodded, seeming to agree with Xiahou Dun's statement.

Also, if you don't understand the process of things, excessive guessing is useless. You have to understand the real process.

Even if there is an advantage of arriving first, it is only an advantage after all.

He is Xun Gongda, how can he give up so easily?

No matter who the people under Yuan Shao's command are, they will only know after comparing them.

What's more, for Lu Bu, in the current general trend of the world, Cao Cao has a much stronger advantage than Yuan Shao.

Based on this, the possibility of success is far greater than that of Yuan Shao.

"Now that we're all here, let's go in and take a look. We have to leave a good impression first so that we can do things later." Xun You looked up at the prefect's mansion not far away and said softly.

Xiahou Dun also changed his direction, looked over, and said with some surprise, "This is the governor's mansion of Yanmen? It feels a bit small, a bit desolate, and has a broken feeling!"

"Bingzhou is not wealthy. The appearance of the prefect's mansion is enough to show the real situation in Yanmen." Xun You frowned slightly as he looked at the prefect's mansion like this.

As the prefect of a county, the prefect's mansion represents the appearance, but it actually looks like this.

To a certain extent, it can also reflect the prefect's ability and character.

From this point of view, I am afraid that this prefect is more difficult to deal with than I imagined.

There is a high probability that he is an official who cares about the people, not a jester.

It seems a bit difficult for such an official to please him.

Xun You was thinking as he headed towards the prefect's mansion.After Xun You informed the soldiers stationed at the Prefecture, he waited for the results.

After getting permission from the soldiers to enter, Xun You couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.

Since he and others are allowed to enter, it means that Yuan Shao has not succeeded yet and he still has a chance.

"Yuan Rang, you should wait outside. I can go in alone." Xun You glanced at Xiahou Dun beside him, thought for a moment, and said calmly.

Xiahou Dun glanced at himself after hearing this. Although he was a little confused, he still chose to stay outside the mansion.

After all, Cao Cao had already made arrangements when he came. Unless Xun You's life was in danger, he must follow Xun You's arrangements.

Xiahou Dun recognized Cao Cao extremely, and Xiahou Dun naturally abided by what Cao Cao personally told him.

Faced with this situation, Xiahou Dun naturally chose to abide by what Xun You said personally and stayed silently outside the mansion, waiting for Xun You to appear again.

Xun You looked at the obedient Xiahou Dun, nodded with satisfaction, and then entered the mansion.

"Xun You and Xun Gongda of Yanzhou have met the governor of Yanmen!" Xun You glanced at Zhang Liao, saluted immediately and introduced himself.

Zhang Liao glanced at Xun You, feeling somewhat impressed but not particularly familiar with him, so he stood up and returned the courtesy, offering him a seat at the same time.

Seeing this scene, Xun You did not refuse and sat down directly in the new position.

After all, he came to visit as a messenger. When he was away from home, he represented Cao Cao's identity. He could be cautious, but he could not lose the etiquette of a prince.

"I don't know how to travel thousands of miles from Yanzhou to Bingzhou Yanmen Pass. What's going on?" After the conversation with Tian Feng, Zhang Liao also roughly understood Xun You's purpose, but at this moment, he could only pretend to understand. Confused, pretending that you don’t know.

After Xun You heard this question, he looked at Zhang Liao meaningfully and understood what Zhang Liao was thinking.

"My lord heard that General Lu was in this remote place and kept the Han people safe. He admired him deeply. It happened that Yanzhou had a good harvest of grain and there was quite a surplus of grain. He specially ordered me to bring grain and grass to support the general and help him regain the lost land. Defend the family and the country." Xun You also pretended to be confused, praising his lord and Lu Bu at the same time.

No matter what Lu Bu looked like before, what kind of person he was?
At least at this moment, Xun You must continue to boast, and at the same time, he must leave as much room as possible and treat it as a spontaneous act rather than an intentional act.

After Zhang Liao heard this, he couldn't help but calm down in his heart. No matter how he thought about it, this was another situation where he had no choice.

Zhang Liao then seriously told Xun You about the recent situation of his lord Lu Bu.

He expressed his gratitude to Xun You's lord Cao Cao for his actions, but was unable to make a decision.

I hope Xun You can stay in the restaurant at Yanmenguan for a few days, and then make a decision after Lu Bu comes back.

After that, out of politeness and a sense of familiarity, the two had a cheerful conversation with each other.

For a while, all the guests were happy, and the two of them got to know each other better.

After the conversation, Zhang Liao personally sent Xun You out of the prefect's mansion, showing sincerity in his words and actions.

After finishing the conversation, Xun You left the prefect's mansion and took Xiahou Dun with him to the only restaurant in Yanmen Pass for temporary residence.

As for the food brought, it was parked outside the pass by a special escort and did not enter the pass. This was also to avoid ambiguity among the soldiers inside the pass.

At that time, the soldiers in the pass will be mobilized to attack and their teams transporting food will be wiped out. If a special accident occurs, it will be difficult to handle.

Only the leader entered the pass first, explained the situation to the prefect, and obtained the corresponding approval.

Only with this approval can we lead soldiers and food from outside the customs into the customs.

Xun You also understood this cautious behavior.

After all, Xun You knew the importance of Yanmen Pass very well.
