Of course, Xu You can't be killed, no matter how much contradiction he has with Xu You, it will not affect the friendship between the two for decades, and with this friendship, he will not kill Xu You because of his greed. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

If you want to condone it, you can't severely punish the trial, and that's the ultimate goal of the ugly.

Yuan Shao thought about it carefully for a long time, and sat down to write a letter to Wen Chou in person. In the letter, Yuan Shao said: "Xu You's matter is over here, don't pursue it anymore, let it go if the problem is not big, and punish it if the problem is big." As for the trial, 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 startled and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Feng Ji panted and said: "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 are you talking about?" ”

"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 and asked, "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 said with a murderous face, "I have already ordered Jiao Touch, Meng Dai, Liu Pan and others to assemble an army. If the Yanzhou army dares to turn against him, we will destroy him. ”

Yuan Shao asked again: "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 be exhausted to death." ”

Yuan Shao breathed a sigh of relief 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, his face became even more melancholy, and said: "If Xu says that he has contacted us and received our support, Cao Cao will be furious, and I am afraid that he will have to take countermeasures......

"What can he do?" Feng Ji sneered, "If he dares to make a move, he just gives us a high-sounding excuse to kill him." But please rest assured, at present, Cao Cao has no money and food, and the lives of the Yanzhou soldiers are in our hands, so he doesn't dare to mess around at all, so he can only eat Coptis dumbly. But ......"

Feng Ji looked at Yuan Shao and said helplessly: "If we miss this opportunity, it will be even more difficult for us to find another opportunity to kill him." As a precaution, the lord still ordered the Son of Heaven to be escorted to Luoyang and Liu Biao 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." ”

Feng Ji knew that what Yuan Shao said was the truth, and he was at a loss for such a situation.

Yuan Shao thought that after this matter was exposed, the grudge with 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 upset in his heart, and blurted out: "If I catch the person who leaked the secret, I must scrape him alive." ”

"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 to Yuan Shao in a low voice, "It stands to reason that if Zi Yuan goes to tell the truth, he should go quietly, and Cao Cao will not welcome him with such fanfare." ”

Feng Ji looked up at Yuan Shao 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 been against being unfavorable 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.

Xu You was excluded from this matter in the first place, because he was worried that he would sabotage it.

Thinking like this, Yuan Shao was even more suspicious that Xu You had leaked the secret, and immediately said loudly: "Come here, 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, "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, he has been friends with Xu You for decades. At the beginning, Xu Yu 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 was his friend, and the leak was just speculation, and there was 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 and 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 Liu Shao and asked, "Xu is dead, and more than a hundred people who are going to assassinate Cao Cao are dead, what's going on?" ”

Liu Shao vetoed: "I didn't say a word to Ziyuan. ”

"Why did Naziyuan go to Cao Cao's camp?" Feng Ji asked in disbelief, "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? ”

Liu Shao solemnly warned: "You don't have nothing to do, Ziyuan will never betray the lord." ”

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.

"Get out!" Yuan Shao was tired of scolding, and kicked Xu You, "Next time this kind of thing 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 have lost all my face." ”

After Feng Ji complimented Yuan Shao a few words, he asked slowly, "The lord plans to let Ziyuan go like this?" ”

Yuan Shao said helplessly: "Kill a few of his former officials, just warn him." ”

"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 a betrayal, a betrayal! ”

"Forget it." Yuan Shao sat down tiredly at the back of the desk, shook his head and said, "You are just guessing, there is no evidence." ”

Feng Ji thought for a while and said to Yuan Shao: "I have a way to test whether Ziyuan is loyal to the lord. ”

Yuan Shao looked up at him suspiciously.

"The lord wrote an order to let Luoyang's Wen Chou kill all the criminals involved and their families, leaving no one behind." Feng Ji waved his hand vigorously and said sinisterly, "What uncles, brothers, brothers-in-law, and even Ziyuan's wife and children, all killed." ”

Yuan Shao's face suddenly sank, and he shook his head and said, "I have made a promise to Ziyuan just now......

"My lord, it's just an order, a fake 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 lord and fight with him. But if he betrays you, he will definitely be weak-hearted, and he will mistakenly think that the lord already knows about his betrayal, and think that the lord is going to eradicate all his forces, and then kill him, and he will definitely run away. In this way, isn't it clear whether Ziyuan is loyal to the lord? ”

Yuan Shao hesitated for a long time and nodded.

………………

Xu You got the news and fled from Yuan's camp overnight.

Yuan Shao was furious and ordered to tell all the armies on the front line and the defenders of the pass to be arrested, and urgently told Luoyang Wenchou to kill his clan to shock the world.

Liu Shao, Yuan Zhong and others were shocked when they heard the news and hurriedly stopped them.

Yuan Zhong said: "Xu Yu has a prominent position in the coalition army, knowing the deployment of troops and offensive and defensive strategies of the army, once he defects to Hebei, it will seriously threaten the safety of the Central Plains War. ”

Considering that Xu You often disobeyed military orders and went out of the camp to drink and have fun without authorization, Yuan Zhong suggested that Yuan Shao should temporarily block the news before he was sure that Xu You had indeed defected, so as not to cause a big misunderstanding.

Liu Shao also tried his best to persuade Yuan Shao not to kill Xu You's relatives for the time being. Liu Shao said: "The specific situation is not very clear now, and it cannot be judged that Xu You has fled in fear of crime just because he did not return all night." If the lord kills Xu You's family in a fit of anger, after Xu You knows, what else can he do except defect? Xu You was wronged out of thin air, and he must take revenge madly, and it is very likely that he will flee to the Northern Xinjiang Army. His arrival in the Northern Frontier Army will have disastrous consequences for the coalition forces. ”

Yuan Shao didn't expect Xu You to really betray him, and he was furious, but anger is anger, and things still have to be handled properly. Under the persuasion of Liu Shao, Yuan Zhong and others, Yuan Shao immediately calmed down and changed the order.

Groups of heralds rushed out of the camp and rushed in different directions.

A group of guards, under the leadership of their respective superiors, galloped along the gallop road. (To be continued.) )
