Chapter 841: Returning in vain

Xu You did not leave immediately after he went back, but made arrangements for his family.

Some of his relatives and family members, Xu You made arrangements for them to return to the countryside and returned a sum of property.

Xu Yu is like arranging the aftermath, but he knows that this is all for others to see.

This time I went to Youzhou, in fact, Xu You was too worried.

He naturally didn't want Yuan Shao to lose, but this time he felt that things were not so simple.

Zhang Yu has completely turned into a lurking beast, and if anyone dares to ignore him, he will come out and hurt people.

Xu You has been paying attention to Zhang Yu recently, and Zhang Yu has not made any movements, so he has a strong feeling.

When the beast does not attack, it will not let people see its fangs, and when it attacks, then it is a destructive existence.

Xu Yu had to go there in person because of all kinds of worries.

After arranging two days, Xu Yu set off.

Yuan Shao also learned some about the situation, and he was very grateful to Xu You, no one dared to go at this time, and only he dared to go.

Or only he is suitable to go, and the others go, I'm afraid they won't be able to talk to Zhang Yu.

Xu You took hundreds of followers and quickly headed towards Youzhou.

He estimated that Cao Ang would not be able to go back and forth to Youzhou, and he wanted to go to Youzhou to find Zhang Yu, so he could only go to Jiangdong first, and then take a boat.

A few days later, Xu Yu arrived in Youzhou, and after entering Youzhou, he found a lot of differences.

This has changed so much, everything from the faces of the people, to the roads and villages on both sides, to the merchants and so on.

Xu You sighed in a trance, how did Zhang Yu do it, in just a few years, it has changed so much.

This Youzhou is very peaceful, and the people are living well.

It was even more shocking when it arrived in New Beiping City, which was even more prosperous than Yecheng.

Although this Yecheng has always been prosperous, it has also developed slightly in the hands of Yuan Shao, and has not undergone fundamental changes.

But after arriving in New Beiping City, Xu You felt that this was the capital of a big country, magnificent and prosperous.

Prosperity and prosperity are actually a little different, prosperity represents more people and liveliness, and prosperity involves the spiritual level, comprehensive development.

Xu You did not rush to find Zhang Yu, but found a place to live in Xinbeiping for two days, and in these two days, he sent many people out to inquire about the news.

Be careful and scattered, the most is the news of Guan Yu's possible invasion.

Also, there is not much useful news.

This made Xu Yu very uneasy, which was not at all like Zhang Yu's style.

didn't get any useful information, so Xu You could only contact Zhang Yu.

Soon Xu Yu contacted Zhang Yu and met Xu Yu in the new state pastor mansion the next day.

When old friends meet, it is naturally a pleasantries.

Zhang Yu was very free and had been accompanying Xu You, but the two had clashed several times, and Zhang Yu did not reveal anything about the battle between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao.

Xu Yu talked about it several times, but Zhang Yu didn't answer, and the two didn't talk about anything serious.

In the evening, Xu You went back after eating a banquet, but at the end of the day, there was nothing useful.

Xu You is a smart person and knows that Zhang Yu is doing this on purpose.

After Xu Yu left, Zhang Yu called Xi Zhicai and Gu Yong over.

"Lord, my subordinates thought that you would slaughter Yuan Shao, but I didn't expect that at the end of the day, you didn't ask for anything." Xi Zhicai said with a smile.

According to the general understanding, Zhang Yu seized the opportunity and would definitely slaughter them fiercely, but Zhang Yu did nothing.

"No, this time we are showing weakness in an all-round way and promoting the development of the war, at this time they have already prepared and may fight at any time, this is our best interest, when they fight, we will take it ourselves." Zhang Yu said.

Gu Yong thought for a while and then said, "Lord, if you blackmail Yuan Shao into thinking about it, maybe they are even more convinced that you will not interfere in the war between them. ”

"It is in our best interest to intervene in the war, it is obvious, but now that the Xiongnu are pressing, we have no strength, and we are afraid that Yuan Shao will deal with us in turn, so we will not blackmail Yuan Shao, so we can completely win their trust."

Zhang Yu's words also make sense, blackmail or not blackmail requires another operation, and Zhang Yu chose not to blackmail Yuan Shao.

Zhang Yu asked Xi Zhicai and them to come over, explained some things, asked them to spread the news, and asked Gu Yong to prepare for the defense of the Huns.

These have been done before, but this time they were asked to do it deliberately for Xu You.

Xu Yu is a smart man, and of course he knows it.

Xu You endured it for two days, and did not look for Zhang Yu for two days, but asked people to continue to collect news.

The collected information was very fragmentary, and Xu Yu conducted a comprehensive analysis, but he still couldn't analyze Zhang Yu's intentions.

Two days later, Xu Yu came to see Zhang Yu again.

"Master Zhang, let's just say it, what do you want to do in this Yuan Cao battle, and where is your position?" Xu You asked bluntly.

With such a question, Zhang Yu naturally had no way to avoid it, so he could only answer it positively.

"I wouldn't mind meddling if I had the chance." Zhang Yu said.

Xu You didn't know how to answer, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Master Zhang, it's better for us to cooperate, you can put it forward if you have the conditions." ”

"How to cooperate?" Zhang Yu said.

"You send 150,000 troops, and after defeating Cao Cao, Xu You and part of Yuzhou can be distributed to you." Xu Yu said.

Xu Yu's strategy is very clever, and Zhang Yu's army is sent to Yuan Shaona, so he is not afraid that Zhang Yu will do things.

"Haha, excuse me, Lord Xu's proposal is very tempting, but to cooperate with Yuan Shao, it is still under the condition that Yuan Shao has a million troops, and I don't believe Yuan Shao." Zhang Yu said.

Xu You tried again and again but did not make any progress, although Zhang Yu did not have any flaws, but Xu You was even more worried.

It's just that this worry has no basis, and he can't go back to report to Yuan Shao, these are all guessed by him.

Even, Xu You also thought that Zhang Yu was waiting for Cao Ang to arrive.

However, Xu You couldn't afford to wait, and continued to inquire about the news in New Beiping City for a few days, and Zhang Yu really did not make any preparations for Jizhou and Qingzhou.

Xu Yu returned in vain, but the doubts in his heart were never eliminated, but he was even more worried.

He knows Zhang Yu very well, and no matter what, he has to blackmail Yuan Shao.

As a result, Zhang Yu didn't ask for anything.

Xu You went back, quickly went back and reported to Yuan Shao.

And not long after Xu You left, Cao Ang came.

This time, Cao Ang didn't have any hope, but on the way, he thought carefully and tried to persuade Zhang Yu.

Cao Ang arrived, and Zhang Yu personally went to greet him.

When he arrived at the Prefecture Pastoral Mansion, Zhang Yu had the same method as Xu Yu, idle a bunch of nonsense, without any substantive progress.

Cao Ang couldn't say a bunch of words, and finally arrived in Youzhou to talk to Zhang Yu, could it be that he returned in vain.
