Xu You slowly put down the wine glass, let the spilled wine drip onto the placket of his clothes little by little along his slightly gray beard, and said lightly: "I won't go to Handan." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

Li Yi hesitated for a moment and asked, "Do you want to go to Jicheng?" ”

Xu You immediately said: "I won't go to Jicheng either." ”

Li Yi was stunned for a moment, his thick eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he was thinking about how to persuade him, when Xu You spoke again: "I'm here to implement the counter-plot." When the decisive battle was over, I left. ”

Xu You met everyone's stunned gazes, and said with a self-deprecating wry smile: "I'm old, I have nothing left, just this shell, let me fend for myself." ”

The lobby was so silent that you couldn't even hear your breathing.

A few days ago, the news of Yuan Shao and Xu You's rebellion reached the Guandu battlefield, and Li Yi, Xu Maogong and others were very surprised. Could it be that Jia Xu's strategy of discord was so immediate? Yuan Shao actually used Xu Yu to kill his nine clans under the pretext of corruption at this time, is it crazy? After killing Xu You, Yuan Shao not only cut off his arm, but also seriously damaged the morale of Luoyang and the coalition army, which will have an immeasurable impact on the ongoing Central Plains War.

Yuan Shao and Xu You have been friends for decades, the two fought against the traitorous eunuchs together, and fought the world together, and there have been no rumors of contradictions between the two before, how could they suddenly turn against each other at this time?

Both Jia Xu and Sima Yi suspected that this was Yuan Shao's counter-plot. It is impossible for a small divisive strategy to cause such a big shock in Luoyang.

First of all, it was not normal for the news of Xu You's defection to reach the Guandu battlefield so quickly. No one saw Xu You's family killed by Yuan Shao in Luoyang, and all they saw was the list posted all over Henan.

Secondly, Xu You is in a high position and has mastered all the secrets of the coalition army, and this kind of betrayal has a great blow to the morale of the coalition army, but to a certain extent, it can also reduce Hebei's vigilance and easily gain Hebei's trust, which is probably one of the reasons why Yuan Shao chose Xu You to implement the counter-strategy.

The two estimated that Xu You would soon escape, and they suggested that Li Yi should take advantage of Xu You's defection to find an opportunity to defeat the coalition forces.

Li Yi and Xu Maogong are very cautious about this. If this is Yuan Shao's counter-plot, then Yuan Shao is too crazy. Xu You's position in Luoyang is not trivial, and Xu You's betrayal is an unpredictable blow to the coalition forces. Yuan Shao has always been extremely cautious in the use of troops, and it is impossible for him to do such a risky thing when the battlefield situation is still very good. Once this plan is discovered, he will not only compensate Xu You, but also may completely bury his hegemony. Li Yi thought that Yuan Shao would not do this, and he would not rashly make such a crazy move if he changed to anyone else.

Of course, there is another reason why Li Yi thinks so, and that is the memory from his previous life. In his memory, when Yuan Shao and Cao Cao were in the battle of Guandu, Xu Yu really defected, and this defection led to Yuan Shao's final defeat.

However, the current situation is completely different from another time and space, first of all, his own rise drove Yuan Shao to the south of the Yellow River, causing Yuan Shao and Cao Cao to not only fight each other, but also become superficial allies, joining forces to confront themselves.

In a sense, the position he is in now is the position of Yuan Shao in another time and space. The alliance of Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Liu Bei and Liu Biao played the position of Cao Cao at the beginning.

Li Yi didn't dare to conclude that this was not Yuan Shao's counter-plot.

When a few people were speculating and discussing, Xu You really came.

Li Yi immediately decided that regardless of whether Xu You's escape to Hebei was Yuan Shao's counter-strategy, considering that the decisive battle was imminent, in order to avoid accidents, he would still send Xu You away.

Li Yi instructed everyone not to interrogate him, so as not to get false information that would cause him to make a wrong judgment. Don't have too much contact with him, lest you accidentally leak the secret. When we caught a relatively important captive, we sent him directly to Handan to be taken into custody. In this way, no matter what Xu You's purpose in fleeing to Hebei is, we can use this incident to seriously damage the morale of the coalition forces and gain a little advantage for the decisive battle that is about to begin.

Li Yi's decision was endorsed by Xu Maogong, Jia Xu and others.

However, none of them expected that Xu You would speak amazingly and openly admit that he came to Hebei to carry out the counter-plot.

Everyone was at a loss for a moment and was dumbfounded.

"Do you want to hear the story of Luoyang?" Xu You stretched out his hand and picked up the long spoon in the wine bottle, filled his wine jue with wine, then looked up at Li Yi and the others, and asked softly.

Jia Xu narrowed his eyes, turned his head to look at Li Yi, and shook his head intentionally or unintentionally. He lost confidence in his judgment, but he didn't want to hear Xu You's explanation first, so as not to make a bigger mistake in his judgment. He motioned for Li Yi to take the opportunity to withdraw from the table, and go back first to think clearly about Xu You's intentions.

Li Yi didn't care, and said to Xu You: "Listen to me." ”

Xu You slowly took a sip of wine, and then spoke: "It's a long story." This started with Yuan Shao secretly instructing Feng Ji, Liu Shao, Geng Bao and others to spread the prophecy of 'Yuan's generation of Han' and 'the five virtues always say'. ”

"Yuan Shao has always wanted to usurp the Han Dynasty and stand on his own, but as a result, it caused a dispute over the succession of the Yuan lord in Luoyang, and all the forces in Luoyang were involved, resulting in internal strife and disputes in Luoyang, and then the opportunity to rebuild the imperial system was lost.

"After the start of the Central Plains War, Yuan Shao accepted my suggestion, and ordered the world to form an alliance with the states and counties to resist Hebei, however, when the situation gradually favored the coalition army, the desire to usurp the Han and self-reliance swelled again, and he was impatient to find every opportunity to remove from Luoyang those who hindered his achievement of the cause of the king."

"I have been friends with Yuan Shao for more than 30 years, and there has been no head-on conflict so far, although he wants to drive me out of Luoyang, but he is not so ruthless and kills my nine clans." Xu You looked up to the sky and sighed, and said with tears streaming down his face, "I should have thought a long time ago that Cao Cao is a butcher, and he will not let go of any opportunity to kill." ”

"Think about my friendship with Yuan Shao for more than 30 years, Yuan Shao still has to deal with me, let alone Cao Cao? I didn't like him from a young age. The reason why Yuan Shao and I got close to him back then was mainly because we wanted to use his identity to rescue the party. His grandfather Cao Teng is a famous eunuch, his protégé is all over the world, his father Cao Song and the traitor of the dynasty are called brothers, with his relationship, we are much more convenient in Luoyang. Although he helped us a lot, we didn't like him. He is the descendant of the eunuchs, and he is inseparable from us. ”

"I shouldn't have gone to save him. I'm so confused, how can I trust him as a brute? Xu You was remorseful and beat his chest and said.

Li Yi, Xu Maogong, Jia Xu and others looked at him with great sympathy. Although he didn't know how this matter was related to Cao Cao again, with Cao Cao's current situation, he would never dare to take Xu You in, and would only kill Xu You and give his head to Yuan Shao. Xu You went to vote for Cao Cao at this time, and he was indeed old and confused.

"Cao Cao's subordinate Xu He secretly surrendered to Yuan Shao and wanted to assassinate Cao Cao." Xu You stabilized his emotions for a moment, and then said, "I was worried that after Cao Cao was killed, the coalition forces would be suspicious of each other and the tide of the battle would be reversed, so I deliberately ran to warn him. Who knew that Cao Cao was not only not grateful for the illustrated newspaper, but instead hung the head of the assassin above the gate and demonstrated to Yuan Shao, making it clear that he wanted to betray me and plunge Luoyang into civil strife. ”

Xu You talked about the matter in general, and finally said: "Yuan Shao is so disappointing, I can't imagine that he used this matter to deal with me regardless of the overall situation at this time." Even if he wanted to drive me out of Luoyang, he would have to wait until after the end of the war, how could he ignore the life and death of hundreds of thousands of allied soldiers and the survival of the Han Dynasty? ”

"In a fit of anger, I went to Cao Cao, scolded and deceived him, and forced him out of his plan to escape from the Guandu battlefield and go south to seize Xu and Yang. At this time, if Cao Cao escaped from Guandu, it was conceivable what it would mean to the coalition forces. Actually, when Cao Cao learned that Yuan Shao was using Xu to assassinate him, I knew that Cao Cao was leaving. At this moment, compared with his life, of course, his life is important, and for the descendants of a eunuch, Sheji is just a manor for exploiting wealth in his eyes. ”

"I can't let Cao Cao leave Guandu, otherwise the Central Plains War will be lost, but Yuan Shao is reluctant to fight a decisive battle, and after Xu He failed to assassinate Cao Cao, Yuan Shao's determination to kill Cao Cao is even stronger, and Cao Cao has to go if he doesn't go. In this case, the only way to keep Cao Cao is to fight a decisive battle as soon as possible. ”

"A decisive battle as soon as possible is what Hebei needs, because Hebei's financial endowment is difficult to support a protracted war of this scale. Yuan Shao was reluctant to fight a decisive battle because he could afford to drag it out, and the longer the Central Plains War dragged on, the more beneficial it would be for Yuan Shao, so that his force could be preserved to the greatest extent, and after the end of the war, he could quickly control Yanzhou and occupy the entire Central Plains with these forces. ”

"Therefore, if you want Yuan Shao to change his attack strategy and quickly fight a decisive battle with the Northern Xinjiang Army, there is only one way, that is, let him know that he has won the battle, and if he doesn't fight, he will have no chance, and to achieve this goal is very simple, that is, I will use this opportunity to defect to Hebei to implement a counter-plan."

"Actually, I am desperate now, I have to flee to Hebei to find a way to live, but Cao Cao, a wolf-hearted thing, actually instilled me guilty, and ran to Yuan Shao overnight to flatter, forcing Yuan Shao to order the killing of my nine clans." Xu You slammed the wine lord in his hand to the ground, and shouted hoarsely, "I must kill him, I must kill him." ”

In the lobby, Xu You's desperate and angry roar lingered for a long time.

Li Yi and others were also shocked by Xu You's story and didn't speak for a long time. (To be continued.) )
