Chapter 9 Chasing the Central Plains Section 53 In Xin Ping's military tent, no matter how Xu Yu asks, Xin Ping is just a sentence, I don't know.

Xu You was anxious, glared at him and yelled, at this is the critical moment of the Central Plains War, and the whole and bottom can work together to hold the defensive line and defeat the Northern Frontier Army.

If you killed Cao Cao in the first place, don't you know what the consequences will be? Cao Cao died, Cao Cao's men were bound to turn against him, and Liu Bei was terrified and most likely reneged on his alliance and fled back to Xuzhou.

As for Liu Biao in Jingzhou, he will complain about the beginning, and the two parties distrust each other, how can this battle be fought?

"You better not bother with it." Xin Ping persuaded,

"Brother Benchu has a lot of opinions about you. Since he doesn't want to tell you about it, pretend you don't know. ”

"He has an opinion on me, that's his business, but if the Central Plains War is lost, it won't be his business alone. We will all be affected, we will all die without a place to be buried, and the Han Society will also collapse because of this. "Xu Yu was heartbroken,

"Are you old and confused, why don't you stop it?"

"Brother Ben Chu has the idea of Brother Ben Chu, and the other ......" Xin Ping glanced at Xu You dissatisfied,

"Ziyuan, don't you think you've been doing too much lately? Don't you know the ability of the first brother, is he worse than you? He is now a very popular minister, thinking about the major affairs of the world, and he can't make any mistakes, so many of his ideas are very conservative. Many times he has to weigh the pros and cons repeatedly before making a decision, so it is inevitable that he will not hesitate. What about you? As his old friend for decades, not only do you not put yourself in his shoes and share his worries and problems, but you blindly accuse him, and you are even more ridiculous in your words. When did you become like this? I think you're a stranger to me right now. I don't seem to know you anymore. Are you an old friend I've known for decades? Why can't you sit down calmly, have a good talk with Brother Benchu, and resolve the contradictions and dissatisfaction between you. Can't you just reconcile? ”

"Hmph......" Xu You sneered,

"There is no way to resolve the contradictions between us. Do you remember Meng Zhuo (Zhang Miao)? Do you remember why he fell out with Benchu? Several of us are friends who are friends in life and death. Back then, in order to rescue the party members, we put life and death aside and treated each other with all sincerity, but now? Why has it become an enemy now? It's very simple......" Xu You looked at Xin Ping and said word by word,

"Me or Meng Zhuo, our goal in this life is to revitalize the society and revitalize the Han community." Xu You poked his chest hard,

"I am only loyal to the big man, and I will not regret it until I die, but the original has changed, and he is now only loyal to himself." Xin Ping hurriedly looked around, his expression was panicked, his eyes looked into the distance intentionally or unintentionally, and he didn't dare to look at Xu Yu at all.

"After the Northern Xinjiang Army went south to the Central Plains, I advised the original change of course and immediately sent the Son of Heaven today to form an alliance to fight against Hebei." Xu You let out a long sigh,

"Actually, you know, after I said this, my life was gone. Do you think I'll live longer? Fu Zhu, Tian Feng, Guo Tu, I, we are all the same, and we will not live long. It doesn't matter if I die, as long as the Central Plains War can be won, as long as we drive Li Hong's rebel back to Hebei, as long as we beat Li Hong to the ground, so that he can no longer threaten the Han Dynasty, my goal will be achieved. Then Xu You's face changed suddenly, and he yelled at Xin Ping violently: "I'm going to die, why do I have to keep my voice down?" Why can't I scold as much as I want and laugh as I want? He wants to kill me, so let him come. Xin Ping was secretly shocked in his heart, and a cold chill rushed straight to his head.

What does Xu You want to do? Xu You has a tough personality and easily refuses to admit defeat, he will never be like Fu Zhu and Tian Feng, knowing that his life will not be long and he is willing to give advice to Yuan Shao.

He said that he didn't care about life and death, but he was purely insincere, and his words had a deep meaning. Xin Ping couldn't guess Xu You's mind for a while, and stood there in a trance for a long time.

"Tell me, how did you plan to kill Cao Cao?" Xu Yu approached Xin Ping, lowered his voice and said,

"You don't dare to stop him, I dare." Xin Ping was very hesitant, and in order to hide the uneasiness in his heart, he put his fist against his mouth and coughed lightly a few times.

A moment later, under Xu You's expectant gaze, Xin Ping finally spoke,

"Of course, I wouldn't have taken the initiative to kill Cao Cao at this time. In any case, the most important thing for everyone now is to work together to fight Hebei. However, if someone is willing to take the initiative to help Ben Chu kill Cao Cao, of course Ben Chu will not stop it. The only thing he had to do was to do his best to quickly control the situation, maintain the stability of the coalition army, minimize the impact of Cao Cao's killing, and then logically incorporate the Yanzhou army and take Cao Cao's force as his own. Xu You frowned, and had roughly guessed the inside story.

He shook his head and said disdainfully: "Power is a thing that can often blind people's eyes. When he first arrived in Xuchang, his prestige suddenly reached the extreme, and everyone regarded him as a hero who saved the Han, haha......" Xu You's laughter suddenly became very sad and helpless,

"These people who want to kill Cao Cao, probably like me, are loyal to the Han, they pin their hopes on Ben Chu, and they all want to do their best to help Ben Chu stabilize the world and revive the Han in the shortest possible time, haha...... Poor people, who can know the true heart of the beginning? Who would have thought that when he was impassioned in the court at the beginning, what he thought in his heart was to overthrow the Han Dynasty and embrace the Han Dynasty into his arms...... Xin Ping was quick to see his hands, and before Xu You finished speaking, he reached out and covered his mouth, and shouted angrily: "You want to die, I don't want to die yet." What do you want? Are you crazy? Xu You pushed Xin Ping's hand away and walked away without looking back.

Xin Ping hurriedly took a few steps, chased after him and shouted, "Ziyuan, be careful." Xu You turned around and beckoned to him, flew on his horse, and galloped away.

Cao Cao was very surprised when he heard that Xu Yu was visiting. Recently, in order to prevent Yuan Shao from being unfavorable to him, he used the excuse of poor health and stayed in the camp all day and did not go anywhere.

Yuan Shao invited him to participate in the military conference several times, but he politely refused. Since Yuan Shao used the excuse of attacking Jizhou from the direction of Hanoi in order to force the Northern Xinjiang Army to return to break the deadlock on the Guandu battlefield and transfer Liu Bei from the Guandu battlefield, he was alone and could only shrink his head and be a man.

When the army was attacking the Yuanwu and Yangwu frontlines and the Northern Xinjiang Army, Liu Bei, in order to preserve his strength, took the lead in withdrawing Yuanwu without informing Cao Cao, and Cao Cao was almost surrounded by the Northern Xinjiang Army.

Cao Cao was furious and had a big quarrel with Liu Bei, but in the face of the aggressive Yuan Shao, the two had to reconcile for the time being.

However, this situation did not last long before Yuan Shao's hand reached out. Liu Bei was a minister of the clan, and Yuan Shao's purpose in transferring him away was obviously to isolate Cao Cao and take the opportunity to solve him.

Cao Cao was worried about this, and lived in fear all day long. Xun Yu, Cheng Yu, Mao Jue, Guo Jia and others were also moving around, trying to persuade the civil and military officials around Yuan Shao and using them to persuade Yuan Shao not to do this kind of thing that his relatives and enemies were happy with.

"Did Yuan Shao come to invite the adults to Zhongmu City again?" Xiahou Yuan guessed in a low voice.

"Your Excellency, go and greet you." Xun Yu persuaded,

"The relationship between Xu Ziyuan and Yuan Shao is extraordinary, it can be called irreversible, and we may be able to convince Yuan Shao through him." Cao Cao followed Xun Yu's advice and took a group of civil and military officials from Yanzhou Mansion to meet him at Yuanmen.

Xu You was surprised, obviously he didn't expect Cao Cao to fall to such a point. A dignified prime minister, for the sake of his life, regardless of face and etiquette, he lowered his dignity and dignity to greet him in person, and even brought a group of civil and military officials to Yuanmen to greet a general's mansion.

The world laughs and talks.

"Prime Minister, do you think I have too long to die fast enough?" Xu Yu didn't appreciate it, and he was very unhappy in his heart.

He was really unhappy, originally he wanted to quietly come to report a message, but who knew that Cao Cao didn't cooperate at all, and actually made such a big move, as if he was afraid that Yuan Shao would not know.

Cheng Yu, Xiahou Yuan and other Yanzhou officials saw Xu Yu so arrogant, they gritted their teeth in anger one by one, and they wanted to cut him down with a knife.

Cao Cao is also angry, but now he can't bow his head, he has to rely on others for three meals a day, and no matter how angry he is, he has to endure it.

Xun Yu and Xu You are very familiar, he is full of smiles, keeps saying compliments, and affectionately pulls Xu You into the camp.

"Wen Ruo, don't laugh so ugly, is that a laugh?" Xu You pointed to Xun Yu's face and scolded angrily,

"If you don't see me happy, you're not happy, what are you doing with a fake face to fool me?" Xun Yu shook his head,

"Ziyuan, can you speak politely?"

"You're welcome? I'm going to kill you. "Xu You is angry and doesn't fight anywhere,

"I want to give you a slap in the face."

"Ziyuan is so angry." Cao Cao said with a smile on the side,

"Have you not had a woman with you lately? I see that your yang fire is too strong. Xu You and Cao Cao were friends when they were young, so they didn't care about Cao Cao's jokes and laughed them off.

"Ah Gou, I advise you to play more if you have a woman, your days are not long." Cao Cao and the others' faces changed in unison.

Dian Wei, who was behind Cao Cao, immediately pulled out half of his sword and glared at Xu Yu murderously. Xu You heard the sound of drawing a knife, and couldn't help but look back at him, his face showing disdain,

"Want to kill me? Do you have what it takes to kill me? Get out of the way. Dian Wei was furious. Xiahou Yuan stepped in front of Dian Wei and glared at Xu You,

"Brother Ziyuan, everyone is in a bad mood, don't provoke us, lest everyone tear their faces." Xu You snorted coldly,

"Take care of your men, dare to draw a knife in front of me, you want to die." Cao Cao and Xun Yu looked at each other, their expressions extremely solemn.

Xu You rejected Cao Cao's hospitality and resolutely did not go to the big tent to participate in the wine feast. Cao Cao was helpless, so he asked the civil and military officials of Yanzhou to wait in the tent, and he and Xun Yu accompanied Xu Yu to talk in the side tent.

"What? Is it against the order to come to me to eat now? Will it kill you because of this in the first place? Cao Cao quipped as he stretched out his hand to ask Xu You to sit down.

Xu You nodded solemnly,

"After I finish speaking, you will know that there is a ** chance that the first ten will kill me. Even if he doesn't kill me, he will put me in Luoyang Beisi Prison. ”

"Did you really want to kill Meng De?" Xun Yu asked in surprise,

"What time is it? Didn't he think about the consequences at all? ”

"If Meng De had been killed now, would the Guandu battlefield collapse?" Xu You asked rhetorically. Cao Cao shook his head,

"Zilian (Cao Hong) is in Chen Guoyang Xia, and Zihe (Cao Chun) is in Pengcheng, Xuzhou. They were too far away from Guandu, and when they received the news, they had already dealt with the aftermath. There are only two ways for them to survive. Either take refuge in Benchu or take refuge in Li Hong. If they want to lay a piece of the world on their own, it's simply impossible. After the Great War in the Central Plains, whether Hebei won or the coalition forces won, they would all be defeated and die. ”

"In that case, why did you agree to divide the Yanzhou Army into three?" Xu You asked with a sneer,

"Did you foresee today's situation a long time ago, and planned to escape from Guandu when Ben killed you at the beginning, and join Cao Hong and Cao Chun to fight against Yuan Shao again? When you are in Xuchang, you can completely refuse the original deployment of troops and gather your own troops in one place. But you did the opposite, why? Why did you give up your life to the primordial? Don't tell me that you are the prime minister and you must obey the will of the court. You tell me the truth, what is your real purpose? Cao Cao squinted at Xu Yu with small eyes, and said with a smile: "You were also in Xuchang at the time, and you knew that you were in Xuchang at the beginning. With my strength, I can't compete with Ben Chu, Jingsheng (Liu Biao), and Xuande (Liu Bei). What's more, at this critical juncture of the Central Plains War, how could I abandon the public for personal purposes and ignore the danger of the society? Xu Yu scoffed, stood up and left,

"Mengde, since this is the case, then you should run away quickly. I'm leaving. ”

"Ziyuan......" Xun Yu grabbed Xu You,

"Let's be honest, although you have been friends with us for decades, you have always followed Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shao is a close friend, how can you let us believe you? With the incompatible relationship between Mengde and Ben Yuan, how can we talk casually. ”

"You mean to say that I was originally sent to find out the news and arrest you?" Xu You laughed, with a look of disdain,

"You think I don't know that little lame plan? Do you plan to unite with Liu Biao and Liu Bei to hold the Son of Heaven hostage immediately after the end of the Central Plains War, recapture the Central Plains, and take advantage of the initial loss of troops to inflict heavy losses? Now on the battlefield of the Central Plains, Ben Chu and Liu Biao's troops are the strongest, and Ben Chu left Liu Biao in Xuchang, dividing you and Liu Bei's forces into three. When Ben Chu and the Northern Xinjiang Army were both defeated, your opportunity came, at this time Liu Biao could join Cao Hong, Zhang Fei, Guan Yu and others to control Xuchang, and then kill Yanzhou directly. Xu You looked at Cao Cao and Xun Yu and teased,

"Are you planning to create another three-way alliance?" Cao Cao had a smile on his face, and there was a hint of panic in his eyes.

Xun Yu was calm, waved his hand and said, "Ziyuan thinks too much. After defeating the Northern Xinjiang Army, the original strength is still strong, how can we have a chance to seize the Central Plains? As for the three alliances, it is even more of a non-existent matter. ”

"Really?" Xu You's hand stroked the short beard,

"This time, Liu Biao led an army of 50,000 to the north for the Central Plains War, spared no effort to supply grain and grass, fully cooperated with the beginning, and did not complain, don't you think he has done too much, is he Yuan Shao's son? Yuan Shao's sons are now calculating with each other, not to mention their two old friends who are deeply estranged? Also, Liu Bei knew that going north to Hanoi was more auspicious, but he left without hesitation, didn't he value his life at all? With your relationship with Liu Bei, don't you discuss a plan for self-preservation and a plan to fight back? Will the two of you watch Ben Chu swing his sword and wait to be killed? As for saying that after the Central Plains War, he was still strong, and it was a joke, was he strong? People with a little foresight know that Han Sui is staring at Guanzhong in the western Xinjiang, and after the end of the Central Plains War, Han Sui will definitely roar down. At that time, Yuan Shao will not only have to look west to Guanzhong, but also to take the Central Plains in the east, with his tired army after the Central Plains War, how long can he hold on? Cao Cao lowered his head and smiled bitterly.

Xun Yu still smiled, but he had lost confidence in his eyes, and he was in chaos.

"I was in a hurry to kill you, why? It's very simple, if he doesn't kill you, he won't be able to deter Liu Biao and Liu Bei, he won't be able to control the situation, and he won't be able to quickly consolidate the results of the battle after the Central Plains War and successfully occupy Yanzhou. Xu You looked down at Cao Cao, who looked depressed, and laughed,

"Apu, all along, whether it is literary or martial arts, the original is far better than you, but you have one thing that is far better than the original, and that is your tenacity. You were originally born in a high-ranking family admired by the world, and you were born in a family of eunuchs, and you have been discriminated against by the children of the high-ranking family since you were a child, so you have low self-esteem, you work hard, and you are tenacious. It's easy to get frustrated and give up when you encounter setbacks at the beginning, but you won't, and you'll find ways to keep going. This is the only place where you can defeat the primordial. If you were originally a personable son, then you are a stunning beauty who has always wanted to get you and eat you. Haha...... "Cao Cao was furious, slapped his palm on the desk, and reached out to grab the war knife on his waist.

"Don't be angry, just kidding, just kidding......" Xu Yu shook his hand again and again, and said with a smile,

"I don't care what you want to do, but you have a fatal mistake in this method, and that is that you are too confident. If we lose the Central Plains War, or if we have a draw with Hebei and let Hebei get Yanzhou, what will you do? You must leave a way back for yourself, and you can't let Hebei profit from it, let alone let the community be overturned. Xu You turned around and left.

Cao Cao and Xun Yu stared blankly at his back, dazed.

"By the way......" Xu You suddenly stopped, turned around and said softly,

"Some people are very snobbish. Seeing that his superiors had lost their power, they immediately fell into the well, just like a beast, without the slightest shame. Cao Cao's heart pounded, and he was suffocated.

He took a few hard breaths and barely snorted at Xu You,

"Thank you." Yuan Shao put down the letter in his hand, his thick eyebrows were locked, and he walked back and forth in the big tent with his hands on his back, preoccupied.

In particular, they took advantage of the opportunity to prepare for the delivery of grain and grass to the front line, and unscrupulously filled their own pockets, seriously endangering the safety of the Central Plains War.

Dozens of people have been arrested in Luoyang, and now people are being sent to Yingchuan, Nanyang and other places to arrest people, and it is estimated that by the end of the month, Xu You's family members, relatives and protégés in various places will be exhausted.

The trial has always been cautious, but this time it suddenly went against the norm, and when the battle on the front line was the most intense, he actually took action to suppress corruption, and the spearhead was directly aimed at Xu You, and its purpose was too obvious.

Yuan Shao was a little angry, he didn't want to see Luoyang fall into chaos and panic at this time, and he didn't want to see someone openly blackmail him.

What is the purpose of the trial, isn't it just to save Tian Feng's life? Did I say I was going to kill Tian Feng? He dared to threaten me with Xu You.

The relationship between Xu You and himself is known to everyone in the world, although few people know the increasingly fierce contradictions between themselves and Xu You, but it is impossible not to know about the matching.

Tian Feng is gone, and he still won't reuse Xu You, but if Xu You is also gone, he may really want to use Tian Feng again at a critical moment.

The trial was to find out his own weakness, and without his consent, he put aside Yuan Wei and launched a blow to Xu You's forces in Luoyang.

Yuan Shao stood on the side of the case, looking at the handful of papers piled on the case, and his heart was even more angry. This is evidence from the trial that Xu Yu personally participated in the corruption and perversion of the law.

Xu You is greedy for money and lustful, and lives a luxurious life, which he knows, most of the children of high-ranking families are like this, and many people use their positions to profit for themselves more or less when they are officials.

Xu You is no exception, he began to do some illegal things as early as when the general He Jinfu was a subordinate of Peng, and later came to Jizhou and Luoyang, because he was in a high position, he became even more intensified, and it can be said that he was unscrupulous.

Yuan Shao is accustomed to these things, especially his relatives and cronies, and has always had an attitude of turning a blind eye.

If the matter is really big, he will intervene to warn him and punish him a little. Now it seems that his connivance and protection have not only not made some people reined, but have become more and more presumptuous.

Xu You is one of them, and with the evidence on these bamboo slips piled on the case, Xu You's head can be cut off two or three times.

Of course, Xu You can't be killed. No matter how much conflict he and Xu You have, it will not affect the decades-long friendship between the two.

With this friendship, he will not kill Xu Yu because of his greed. If you want to condone Xu You, you can't severely punish Tian Feng, and the ultimate goal of the trial is this.

Yuan Shao thought about it carefully for a long time, and sat down to write a letter to the judge in person. Xu Yu's matter ends here, don't pursue it anymore, let it go if the problem is not big, and punish it slightly if the problem is big.

As for Tian Feng, in view of his poor health, it is better to let him go home from prison to recuperate. Before the letter was written, Feng Ji ran in, looking extremely panicked.

Yuan Shao was taken aback,

"What's wrong?"

"My lord, the matter has been exposed, they are all dead, they are all dead."

"Who died?" Yuan Shao jumped up from the seat and asked urgently,

"Who is it?"

"Xu He, Cao Xu He, the thief of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and more than a hundred subordinates and guards of the Prime Minister's Mansion who are ready to assassinate Cao Cao with Xu He." Feng Ji was shocked and angry, and his voice trembled a little,

"Cao Cao killed them all, and the heads were hung on the gate." Yuan Shao was shocked,

"What about Cao Cao? Where is Cao Cao? Is there any movement in the Yanzhou army? ”

"Cao Cao is still in the camp of the Yanzhou army, and the Yanzhou army has not moved for the time being." Feng Ji has a murderous face,

"I have already ordered Jiang Qi, Meng Dai, Liu Pan and others to assemble their troops. If the Yanzhou army dares to turn against him, we will destroy him. ”

"What about Guandu? What is the situation on the battlefield of Guandu today? ”

"After the Northern Frontier Army failed to dig tunnels, they stopped attacking." Feng Ji said,

"After a month of continuous fighting, the Northern Frontier Army should stop and rest. Otherwise their soldiers will die of exhaustion. Yuan Shao exhaled lightly and said disappointedly: "How can it be exposed?" Xu He came to contact us, and few people knew about it. Then he thought of something, and his face became even more melancholy.

"If Xu told us about contacting us and getting our support, Cao Cao would be furious, and I am afraid that he would have to take countermeasures......"

"What can he do?" Feng Ji sneered,

"If he dares to move, he will give us a high-sounding excuse to kill him. You can rest assured, at present, he has no money and food, and the lives of Yanzhou soldiers are in our hands. He didn't dare to mess around at all, so he could only eat coptis dumbly. But ......" He looked at Yuan Shao and waved his hand helplessly,

"If we miss this opportunity, it will be harder for us to kill him. In order to prevent any accidents, the lord still ordered Fu Zhi to escort the Son of Heaven to Luoyang, and let Liu Biao come to the front line, lest after the war, things become uncontrollable, so that we will lose the opportunity and waste all our previous achievements. ”

"Last time before I left Xuchang, I invited the Son of Heaven and discussed it carefully with Brother Jingsheng, but the Son of Heaven did not agree, and Brother Jingsheng repeatedly shirked." Yuan Shao sighed,

"If we want to win the Central Plains War, we need Jingzhou's army and money and food, so I can't offend Brother Jingsheng now." I'm at a loss.

Yuan Shao thought that after this matter was exposed, the feud between himself and Cao Cao had been made public, and things would become more and more difficult to handle in the future, so he couldn't help but feel bored in his heart, and blurted out: "If I catch the leaker, I will definitely kill him." ”

"Probably ......" Feng Ji hesitated, and stopped talking.

"Who is it?" Yuan Shao's thick eyebrows were raised, and he asked angrily.

"I heard that three days ago, Ziyuan went to the Yanzhou Army camp. At that time, Cao Cao took the civil and military officials of Yanzhou to meet him in person, and the scene was very grand. Feng Ji pondered for a long time and said in a low voice,

"It stands to reason that if Zi goes away to inform, he should go quietly, and Cao Cao will not welcome him with such fanfare." Feng Ji looked up and said thoughtfully,

"Is it to cover up?"

"This bastard." Yuan Shao was stunned for a moment, and after thinking for a while, his suspicion became bigger and bigger. Xu You had always objected to his disadvantage to Cao Cao and Liu Bei during the Great War, and if he got the news, he would definitely go to warn Cao Cao.

With Cao Cao's shrewdness, of course, he understood that he could kill the men who betrayed him without much effort.

At the beginning, he excluded Xu You from this matter, because he was worried that he would sabotage it.

"Someone, ask Xu You to come to see me." Feng Ji watched Yuan Shao turn around angrily in the big tent, hurriedly comforted him, and then asked cautiously, "My lord, what are you going to do with Ziyuan?" Yuan Shao gritted his teeth and opened his mouth, but he didn't say it after all.

He can't do it, decades of friendship. Xu You received his letter when he was in the most difficult time, and without hesitation, he ran to Jizhou to follow him to conquer Dong Zhuo.

He is his own brother, and the leak is just speculation, and there is no reason to punish him at all.

Yuan Shao calmed down, waved his hand and said to Feng Ji: "I'll talk to Ziyuan alone." You go get busy. Feng Ji wanted to say something, but Yuan Shao waved his hand at him again very resolutely.

Feng Ji was helpless, turned around and walked out of the big tent. Feng Ji immediately found Xin Ping and asked him if he had said anything to Xu You,

"Xu he died, and more than a hundred people who were going to assassinate Cao Cao died. What's going on? Xin Ping flatly denied it,

"I didn't say a word to Ziyuan."

"Why did Naziyuan go to Cao Cao's camp?" Feng Ji doesn't believe it,

"It's been so long, when has Ziyuan been to Cao Cao's camp? A few days after we contacted Xu He, Ziyuan went to Cao Cao's camp, so there was such a coincidence? Xin Ping solemnly warned him,

"You don't want to be troublesome. Ziyuan will never betray his first brother. Feng Ji left in a huff, and he returned to the big tent of the Chinese army.

In the big tent, Xu You knelt on the ground, sweating profusely, and didn't dare to raise his head. There were a few volumes of books scattered on the ground, and it was estimated that Yuan Shao smashed them to the ground in a fit of anger.

Yuan Shao was scolding in the big tent. Shao was tired of scolding, and kicked Xu You,

"The next time something like this happens, I will never come forward to excuse you." Xu Yu didn't say a word, hugged his head and ran away.

Feng Ji looked at Xu You's embarrassed appearance and was very happy. He was often ridiculed by Xu Yu in public, and he always had resentment in his heart, but this time he finally got rid of his hatred.

Yuan Shao saw Feng Jixi smiling, he was angry, pointed at him and scolded: "You have to pay attention, don't catch people." I've lost all my face to you. ”

"The adult just let Ziyuan go?" After Feng Ji complimented Yuan Shao a few words, he asked slowly.

"Kill a few of his old officials, and warn him."

"My lord, Ziyuan betrayed you." Feng Ji raised his voice and said seriously,

"The failure to assassinate Cao Cao must have been done by Ziyuan. This is betrayal, betrayal. ”

"Forget it." Yuan Shao sat down tiredly behind the desk, shook his head and said,

"You're just speculating, there's no evidence."

"I have a way to know if Ziyuan is loyal to adults." Yuan Shao looked up at him suspiciously.

"My lord wrote an order and asked Zhengnan (the trial) to kill all the criminals involved and their families, leaving no one behind." Feng Ji waved his hand vigorously,

"Uncles, brothers, brothers-in-law, and even Ziyuan's wife and children were all killed." Yuan Shao's face suddenly sank,

"I just made a promise to Ziyuan......

"My lord, it's just an order, a false order." Feng Ji hurriedly explained,

"Then we deliberately leaked this news to Ziyuan's subordinates to see how Ziyuan reacted."

"With Ziyuan's temper, if he hadn't betrayed you, and you treated him like this, not only would you go back on your word, but also kill his wife and children, he would have been so angry that he would argue with the adults and quarrel with him. But if he betrays you, he will be weak-hearted, and he will mistakenly think that the Lord has discovered his betrayal, and that he will definitely run away if he wants to eradicate all his forces and kill him. In this way, isn't it clear whether Ziyuan is loyal to adults? Yuan Shao hesitated for a long time and nodded.
