The first general of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 269
"Xu You? Let him in."

Wei Tao already knew about Xu You's arrival, so there was nothing surprising at this time.

But in Wei Tao's view, there is nothing to say about this.

"Having seen General Wei, His Majesty has been looking forward to the General for a long time! Now that the General is here, wouldn't His Majesty be delighted?"

Wei Tao couldn't help being taken aback, Yuan Shao still looking forward to him?

But when Xu You delivered the letter, Wei Tao couldn't help but to laugh and cry, it turned out that this Majesty was actually referring to Liu Xie.

This really made Wei Tao a little confused about what to say. Does Liu Xie have a lot to do with him?
Now Wei Tao is a pillar of the Han Dynasty at a good level, and a prince at a bad level. Although Wei Tao has no intention of overthrowing the Han Dynasty and replacing it, his behavior really does not deserve it.

"Xu Ziyuan doesn't have to be like this."

Wei Tao gently put down the letter in his hand, and then said softly.

"I don't care about that much. Now that I have entered the city, do you want me to let Yuan Shao go? Yuan Shao is connected with foreign tribes and intends to subvert my Han territory. I, Wei Tao, will never forgive him!"

Wei Tao's words were no longer empty words, he just stared at Xu You and said, not allowing him to retaliate at all.

"The general's words won my heart, and that's what I mean!"

To Wei Tao's surprise, Xu You spoke in such a way at the moment, as if he was not Yuan Shaochen's subordinate.

"When I got this letter, I have already met Your Majesty. Your Majesty should promise that if the general can rescue Your Majesty, Your Majesty is willing to make the General the post of Great General and lead the soldiers and horses of the world to resist foreign invaders!"

Hearing this, Wei Tao didn't understand why Xu You came, but he didn't keep his own glory and wealth, and surrendered.

Of course, this surrender is not surrendering to Wei Tao. Compared to Wei Tao, surrendering to Cao Cao is a better choice for Xu You. After all, Xu You and Cao Cao knew each other.

In fact, Wei Tao had also heard about what happened in Yuan Shao's court.

After all, at this time, many people have been able to see the situation clearly, and they no longer have the loyalty to Yuan Shao before, and a lot of news is naturally revealed.

Wei Tao was still wondering how Xu You could provoke himself to fight Cao Jun, but it turned out that everything was just a cover.

It's just that the identity of Yuan Shao's confidant made everyone ignore this point, including Yuan Shao himself.

In fact, Xu You wanted to see that Liu Xie didn't mean to convey any information for Liu Xie, but wanted to use Liu Xie's name to give Wei Tao and Cao Jun righteousness, and at the same time leave a way out for himself.

Under the banner of Liu Xie, as long as the Japanese guard Tao and Cao Cao help Liu Xie restore, then Xu You can also share the credit for it, and even avoid someone's reckoning.

I have to say that Xu Youzhi's wisdom is also extraordinary.

"Xu You is greedy and unwise. He can only play tricks on this kind of thing. He is not a real talent. Leave this person to Cao Mengde!"

Looking at Xu You, Wei Tao couldn't help but sighed softly. He had already seen Xu You through in his heart, and he had no interest in recruiting Xu You.

Xu You is greedy, greedy people are so unjust, if Yuan Shao is strong, Xu You will not do anything, but up to now, Xu You is first planning for himself, abandoning Yuan Shao to surrender and make meritorious service, and then in the name of Liu Xie Seeking righteousness is beyond words.

As long as righteousness is in hand, Xu You will not suffer too much loss whether he surrenders to Wei Tao or Cao Cao.

But with Xu You as a congenial minister, Yuan Shao's fate is already set.

"Yuan Shao is finished!"

Wei Tao sighed softly in his heart, he was sighing, but he was more delighted, no matter who he was, he wanted to communicate with foreigners!
Sighing in his heart, Wei Tao didn't want to talk to Xu You anymore, and asked Zhou Yu to talk to him directly. As for what to talk about, Wei Tao didn't care.

Just as Wei Tao thought, Yuan Shao is indeed over. With Xu You's back and forth communication, and Wei Tao and Cao Cao have always had a good relationship, it is not difficult for the two sides to have a fake battle.

What's more, Yuan Shao now has no good generals or counselors. Even if he is a soldier, the situation of the Sili's ten houses and nine empties is nothing but the old books that Yuan Shao has always carried.

It is impossible to defend Chang'an under a frontal attack, how can it be defended in such a situation?
After Xu You went back and forth three or five times, the Wei army finally started fighting with the Cao army. Judging from the posture, it was quite likely that they were really fighting for the power of Chang'an.

Although it is not that Yuan Shao has never experienced battles, how can he know the real situation standing in the distance, coupled with Xu You's deliberate misleading, Yuan Shao is even more aware of the truth, and the doubtful thoughts that were originally there have long since disappeared. .

Anyway, in Yuan Shao's view, after Xu You's instigation, Cao Jun and Wei Jun were indeed provoked to fight.

In this way, Yuan Shao can naturally reap the benefits of being a fisherman.

After a few days of fighting, Cao Jun and Wei Jun naturally had a lot of "casualties". For this reason, the two armies had their own camps to prepare for sneak attacks.

Seeing this, Yuan Shao immediately ordered to send troops, and in order to ensure victory, Yuan Shao still led the army himself.

In Yuan Shao's view, leading the army himself must be victorious. First defeat the Cao army, then attack the guard army, then capture Wei Tao, and take back Jizhou in one fell swoop.

It's a pity that Yuan Shao thought very well, but in the end, he opened Chang'an City wide for the sake of profiting from the fisherman. When he was about to make a surprise attack, he was instead attacked by Cao Jun and Wei Jun.

Originally, the strength was not as good as the two armies, but after receiving this blow, they were defeated directly, and even let the guards and Commander Cao attack the city.

It wasn't until Yuan Shao realized that all the defenses he should have had disappeared that he vaguely understood that he might be betrayed.

After a little while before and after the combination, how could Yuan Shao not know?
"It's a pity that I mistrusted the villain..."

Yuan Shao can also be described as a vassal of one party. After leaving a long sigh, he finally killed himself.

"I didn't expect such a result..."

This time Wei Tao did not go into battle in person. In fact, Yuan Shao, who was under the joint calculation of Cao Cao and Wei Tao, had nothing to make Wei Tao continue to work hard.

It's just that no matter what, seeing Yuan Shao, who can be regarded as a vassal at any rate, was like this in the end, Wei Tao also felt a strange feeling in his heart.

This is Yuan Shaoyuan, who has a history spanning four states. It is a pity that this life is not as prominent in history, and even if he died, he was still ordered by the emperor to parade. The end was extremely miserable.

"Ziyu, what do you think?"

When Wei Tao was slightly distracted, Liu Xie said with a kind smile.

"I have no objection."

Wei Tao raised his head slightly, looked at the young emperor and answered slowly.

I have to say that Liu Xie's plan was really good. Xu You hadn't used the plan of two tigers competing for food before, but he used it in an instant.

Above the court, they kept asking the ministers about government affairs, as if they were about to make Wei Tao the prime minister.

This was originally an official position promised to Cao Cao.

If you gave it to Prime Minister Wei Tao, what will you give to Cao Cao, General?
Obviously Liu Xie is also uneasy and kind.

But it's a pity that his methods are still too immature. If he wants to sow discord just by relying on this, he thinks Wei Tao is too simple, and Cao Cao is also too simple.

Wei Tao agreed again and again, without interrupting at all, and let Liu Xie use this to destroy half of the mystery.

But after the court affairs were over, Wei Tao still found Zhou Yu.

"Gongjin, you also know about me. Now that there is nothing wrong with the court, is it possible for someone to send a message that the border is in danger and leave?"

After Wei Tao recruited Zhou Yu, he asked directly.

Hearing Wei Tao's blunt words, even thinking of an excuse to leave, Zhou Yu couldn't help being slightly taken aback, and then smiled.

"Did the lord control the government and achieve the feat of one person under one man and above ten thousand people?"

"Don't make fun of Gongjin, Gongjin also understands what I mean. I don't want to be a Marquis, but I hope Haibo will be peaceful. If I can keep my big man in peace forever, even if I go to get my job, I am willing to be a commoner."

Wei Tao shook his head slightly, and said with a smile.

"It's a pity that although the lord has this intention, the emperor doesn't want to. The emperor is not old, but he has been held hostage many times. Even though Cao Mengde is famous, how dare he rest assured? Isn't he afraid of becoming a puppet? It can be seen that he is unwilling to go to Xuchang no matter what."

Zhou Yu smiled at the moment.

How could Wei Tao not understand this truth? Only when Wei Tao and Cao Cao check each other can the emperor profit from it, and even gradually regain his power.

But Wei Tao gave up his ambition and mission for this?

ridiculous!

"Gong Jin, in my opinion, the most important thing is to drive out the aliens and restore the old days of the great Han. 'But those who commit crimes will be punished even if they are far away'. It is most important to protect our Han people from being invaded by aliens. I asked if I agreed to the city-breaking halberd in my hand. Even if it is the order of the emperor, it is the same. How can such a trivial matter be compared with this?"

Wei Tao's words made people feel weird, but Zhou Yu looked at Wei Tao's face, but understood that what he said came from the bottom of his heart.

At this moment, Wei Tao got up slowly, and after pondering for a while, sighed softly, then looked at Zhou Yu and said slowly.

"Gongjin, although you and I are monarchs and ministers, we are also brothers. You know what I want. If you can do your part for my big man, it is my wish to keep the big man safe. As for whether the big man can be helped, yes It’s not that you can survive, it’s not that important to me. You and my brother, this statement is sincere, Gong Jin should know it!”

Hearing that Wei Tao was so confiding to him, Zhou Yu was moved for a while. To be able to say that, Wei Tao really regarded him as a life and death brother!

Even Zhou Yu couldn't help but clasped his fists at this moment, and told Wei Tao about it.

"Brother's wish, Yu will surely fulfill it for him!"

"it is good!"

Being able to hear Zhou Yu's words, Wei Tao was also excited, he held Zhou Yu's arm hard and shook slightly, everything was silent.
