The situation was completely different from what Yuan Shao thought, he was originally going to make Zhang Yu submit, but as a result, his own army was secretly attacked, and people were already ready to wait for him.

The battle was intriguing and stopped.

Yuan Jun was very frustrated.

When Yuan Shao went back, his face looked like he was going to die, and the ministers didn't dare to speak loudly.

However, Yuan Shao didn't go crazy in the end, and held a meeting after he went back.

"Lord, we are not doing well, resulting in damage to the lord's plan, please punish the lord."

Ju Yi and Gao Ran knelt down and pleaded guilty.

After they came back, they learned that everything was a conspiracy, and it was not Zhang Yu who wanted to do anything to Yuan Shao at all, but the other way around.

This erroneous analysis made the two of them give up their soldiers and horses, discarded nearly 40,000 soldiers and horses, and threw all these soldiers and horses to Zhang Yu.

Ju Yi and Gao Ran are also helpless, information asymmetry, it is normal for them to be like this.

"The two of you, you left your soldiers and horses and fled, you should have been beheaded, but now is the time to employ people, the official will be demoted to three levels, punished for one year, and made meritorious service for the crime." Yuan Shao looked at the two people and said.

Leaving the soldiers and horses and running away, no matter how you say it, is a big crime, and Yuan Shao can't help but punish it.

"Originally, the two generals would abandon their soldiers and horses and run away, that was also the savior's heart, in addition, Zhang Yu cut off the scouts, and ambushed in advance, I really can't blame the two generals, and please be able to punish them lightly."

Xu You knew at this time that he wanted to win people's hearts, so he came out to persuade him.

Yuan Shao also understood that they were the saviors, which made him very happy, but the superior could not show it, and the punishment should still be punished.

Yuan Shao did not agree to Xu You's proposal, but still let Ju Yi and Gao Ran occupy important positions and entrust them with important responsibilities.

Then it's time to discuss the next steps.

"Although our soldiers and horses still have a certain advantage, it is obviously very difficult to force Zhang Yu to retreat, what good can you do?" Yuan Shao asked.

Fu Zhu came out and said: "My lord, my subordinates have long judged that we can't go to war at the moment, we should continue to negotiate with Zhang Yu while arranging the defense of the control area. ”

Yuan Shao's anger suddenly sprang up, not to mention that it was okay, but to say it was to slap Yuan Shao in the face.

Yuan Shao said angrily: "Why can't you start a war, can't you let Zhang Yu slaughter it?" ”

Fu Zhu suddenly understood that he was in trouble again, and he actually made Yuan Shao unable to get off the stage in front of everyone.

"Originally, I could go to Zhang Yu to inquire about the news, but I judged that Zhang Yu had won the game, and he would not give in easily." Xu Yu said.

Yuan Shao waved his hand and said: "It's okay to let you love to let you go, we can consume it, you can go and investigate, if he is willing to give in, there is still something to discuss." ”

Xu You suddenly understood that this Yuan Shao wanted to negotiate, but he couldn't save face, if Xu You could get off to a good start, maybe there would be a turning point for negotiations.

Negotiation or something, Xu Yu likes it the most, and he made a lot of money last time.

Xu You now thinks that Qianzhuang is really a good thing, with Qianzhuang, it is too convenient for him to collect money, and he directly hides the silver ticket in his arms, and nothing will be discovered, which is very convenient.

This time, Xu Yu took both ends, Zhang Yu gave a lot of benefits, and Yuan Shao couldn't reward him after he went back.

Xu You said goodbye to Yuan Shao and left the camp, this time Guo Tu didn't dare to say anything.

Zhang Yu's camp was still calm, as if Yuan Shao's attack hadn't affected them much.

Xu You appeared outside Zhang Yu's barracks half an hour later, and when the soldiers saw that it was Xu You, they hurriedly went in to report.

Xu Yu was welcomed in, and Zhang Yu received him.

"Lord Xu, what good news did you bring me?" Zhang Yu asked with a smile.

"I would like to hear some good news from the prince." Xu Yu said.

"Oh" Zhang Yu asked curiously, "What good news do you want to hear?" ”

"Yuan Shao intends to negotiate, I don't know what the prince means, can he negotiate?" Xu Yu said.

It is not surprising that Yuan Shao wants to negotiate.

Now Xia Picheng is very important to Yuan Shao.

If Zhang Yu took Xiapicheng as the front line and Jiangdong as the hinterland, he could constantly attack Yuan Shao's rear and slowly form a north-south flank attack.

If Yuan Shao gets Xia Picheng City, he can use Qingzhou and Jizhou as the hinterland and Xia Pi City as the front line to block Zhang Yu's troops.

"I have more than 20,000 Yuan army prisoners in my hands, this can be discussed, how much money to buy." Zhang Yu said.

Xu You was stunned for a moment, talking about this, why did he talk about selling prisoners.

Although it is a cooperative relationship with Xu You, Zhang Yu will not easily tell him his true thoughts.

After all, there are different camps, and it is normal for Xu You to take Zhang Yu's information to invite credit.

"Lord Wang, to be able to give a clear explanation, this negotiation is not so fast." Xu You couldn't figure out what Zhang Yu was going to do.

Zhang Yu shook his head and said: "These captives have to eat and drink with me, and they have to be guarded, it's too troublesome, and when the prisoner problem is solved, I will be in the mood to talk about other things." ”

Xu Yu talked to Zhang Yu for a long time, and found that Zhang Yu refused to reveal anything else, so he could only leave and report back.

After Xu You went back, he told Yuan Shao about Zhang Yu's request.

"This Zhang Yu obviously wants to trap us again." Yuan Shao said angrily.

was afraid that Zhang Yu would bring him huge trouble by directly negotiating with him in the form of an announcement, so Yuan Shao had to negotiate with Zhang Yu.

During the negotiation, Xu You refused to negotiate again, and asked Yuan Shao to send others.

"Originally, this Zhang Yu was too a philistine, he would definitely be careful, I negotiated with him a few times, all kinds of troubles, and I experienced it again, I was afraid that I would flip the table with him and ruin the original good thing." Xu Yu said.

Yuan Shao suddenly felt very sorry for Xu Yu, and it was indeed troublesome to negotiate with Zhang Yu.

So Yuan Shao entrusted Tian Feng to go.

"Let's talk, it doesn't matter if we can talk about it well or not, the big head in the end has to fall on me." When Yuan Shao decided to let Tian Feng go, he was very proud.

It's true that others have trouble negotiating with Zhang Yu, but he won't.

Xu Yu did not participate this time because he had to make a sacrifice.

In the end, Picheng is the big one, if Xu You takes everything in his own hands, it will inevitably provoke criticism from others, and Yuan Shao can't always let him go alone.

Therefore, he will not go this time, and the next time others can't handle it, the final negotiation will have to rely on himself.

The little head let it out, and finally the big head ate it by himself, Xu You's abacus was very good.

Zhang Yu sent Xu Yu away and came to Tian Feng.

"Mr. Yuan Hao, please, come and taste my new tea in Jiangdong."

Tian Feng arrived, and Zhang Yu personally went outside the camp to greet him.

Tian Feng was a little confused, why was Zhang Yu so enthusiastic about him? Is there some conspiracy.

Tian Feng didn't have much contact with Zhang Yu.

After drinking tea, Tian Feng said, "Master Zhang, let's talk about things as soon as possible." ”

"Okay, I have 24,152 Yuan army captives here, let's talk about how much it costs to redeem them."
