Early that morning, Yuan Shao woke up from his dream.

His army had been in Pingxiang for three days.

It's not that he is not interested in encircling and suppressing the Montenegrin army, but the top priority now is to deal with Wang Yu, the great enemy, and although he has many soldiers and horses, it is impossible to trap Zhang Yan to death in Zenei, so he can only garrison in the Pingxiang area to prevent Zhang Yan from going south to attack Yecheng, or to go east to join Wang Yu.

Yuan Shao was very dissatisfied with this situation, and according to his earliest ideas, the Huns should have been summoned to join the battlefield a long time ago. Light cavalry, in the battle of fortifications, may seem a little weak, but in mobile combat, it is a well-deserved ace army.

Compared with the little light cavalry that Wang Yu scraped together, whether in terms of quality or quantity, the Hun cavalry that grew up on horseback was undoubtedly superior.

If it weren't for the constant dissuasion, he would have followed Xu You's advice and enlisted the Huns to help.

As a result, because of this thought, things have become tricky again, no matter how strong Hu Qi is, there is no place for him in Zedi. It's just that he still tries his best to obstruct the implementation of the plan, I really don't know how this person grew up, can he figure out his position!

How can there be immortals in war? What happened with the help of Hu Qi's power? Aren't the Huns the courtiers of the Han Dynasty?

Yes, they are a little more vulgar, but how good can those pariahs be? If it weren't for those untouchables who were greedy for cheapness, how would the situation in Jizhou be so corrupt?

Hu people at least have one advantage, they are obedient and loyal enough, as long as they give enough benefits, they don't have to worry about their disobedience or rebellion. After all, they are Hu people, and they have no place in the Central Plains.

Such an obedient and easy-to-use subordinate, what is it to give some benefits? By the way, you can also punish those untouchables who don't know whether they live or die, isn't it the best of both worlds?

With such a feeling. Yuan Shao gritted his teeth and endured these three days.

In order to dissuade Yuan Shao from summoning Hu Qi to help in the war, Fu Zhu did not hesitate to send his beloved son to Zedi and persuade Zhang Yan to quit his army and return to the mountain.

Yuan Shao didn't want to agree, but after thinking about it, there was no use for Hu Qi in Zedi, and before sweeping Qingzhou, the talent he was frustrated with was also necessary, so he held back his anger and agreed.

Of course. The term is three days.

Within three days, if Zhang Yan showed no signs of leaving, he would summon Hu Qi into the country, and at the same time appease Yu Poison and others to join Zhang Yang. Enter the Taihang Mountain to clear it.

Today is the last day of the deadline, and it is also the day when Yuan Shao is full of anger, and in addition to frustration, he also has an open jaw that makes him angry!

"Someone! Go and see if Ziyuan is back, if you do, let him come to see me. "Don't wait to freshen up. Yuan Shao raised his voice to shout.

"Whoa!" Someone outside the tent answered, and walked away quickly.

Xu You set off eastward with Guo Tu at the same time as sending his son into Ze, and his goal was to open his jaw. Guo Tu's target is Liu Dai.

Cao Cao's self-asserted letter mentioned Zhang Jaw, although it was not explicitly stated, but the meaning of the words was nothing more than that: the allies were fighting hard a hundred miles away, and the elite of Jizhou under Zhang Jaw had a good time to watch in the fortified city. This is not a sign of sincerity. Even Yuan Shao, the master, is so unactive, so it is no wonder that all friendly forces are unwilling to move forward.

Furthermore. Cao Cao also pretended to unintentionally recall the grand occasion of last year's alliance, and in his emotion, although there were few practical words, how could a shrewd person like Yuan Shao not see Cao Cao's extraneous meaning, or ridicule?

The anti-Dong alliance is because each family has their own selfish intentions, and Yuan Shao, the leader of the alliance, is even more distracting and unwilling to move forward, and the huge formation he put on in the end only achieved the name of Wang Yu, a younger generation.

This is a thorn in Yuan Shao's heart, he has never said it to anyone, but Cao Cao and he have been friends for many years, how can he not see it?

This thorn was touched, which was the ultimate reason for Yuan Shao's anger.

The real reason can't be said to people, and he can only be angry, frustrated is the first to be angry, and the second is to open his jaw.

So, he sent Xu You, a cadre, and instructed the latter that even if the whole army was destroyed, he would urge Zhang Jaw to send troops to attack Wang Yu's back road. At the same time, he asked Guo Tu to inform Liu Dai and ask the other party to cooperate after Zhang Jaw sent troops, and his main army would arrive within ten days!

To find Liu Dai has to take a detour, it is too late for a while, but after Gongsun Chan retreated, traffic in Anping has been restored, if you hurry up, you can go back and forth in three days, after all, it is just a message.

Xu You really came back, and after receiving the call, he came quickly. Yuan Shao had just finished freshening up and sat down at the table full of breakfast, and Xu You arrived.

"Xu Yu see the lord."

Yuan Shao looked up and saw Xu You's hair in a messy bun, his face covered with dust, and he was extremely embarrassed, and he couldn't help but ask in amazement: "Ziyuan, why are you so embarrassed, didn't you rush back overnight?" ”

"The military situation is like fire, and you dare not do your best." Xu You staggered his hands, looking a little unstable, and he looked like he had worked hard.

"Ziyuan has worked hard." Yuan Shao was greatly relieved, and said with emotion: "If all the scholars in the world are as loyal to their duties as Ziyuan and work tirelessly, why not worry about the eternal stability of the country and create a prosperous era of peace and peace?" ”

"The lord has won the award, and he is ashamed to take it." Xu Yu was overjoyed, but his face was silent.

"Merit should be rewarded, and if there is a mistake, it will be punished, the ancient holy lord, all of them are like this, how can Ziyuan be ashamed?" Yuan Shao was pleased not only that Xu You had worked tirelessly, but more importantly, that Xu You understood his heart, and took it as his own responsibility and spared no effort to work hard.

In Yuan Shao's shogunate, few people would mention how the Han Dynasty was, because Yuan Shao never mentioned it, and he preferred to use words like 'pioneering' for Jizhou's goals, and he also had a soft spot for the word Shengshi.

Everyone spoke according to his tone, but there were not many people who really understood the meaning and did not shy away from it. Even the descendants of Guo Tu and Feng Ji did not show Xu Yu so eagerly and so much in line with his heart.

"Although there are many heroes in the world, they all have their shortcomings, in terms of bearing, virtue, and reputation, who can achieve this groundbreaking achievement, except for the lord? How fortunate is Xu Yu, how dare he not do his best? ”

"Hahaha, Ziyuan knows my heart." Yuan Shao had a big heart, and commanded loudly: "Come here, bring another meal, and you have to eat with Ziyuan." ”

An attendant went away in response to the order, Xu You slammed to the ground again, and thanked with excitement on his face: "Thank you, lord." ”

Eating and sleeping together, in this era, is the most powerful means of the Lord to his subordinates. Yuan Shao has a noble status, of course, he will not easily share a bed with others, but eating together still happens from time to time, usually when he is extremely happy, so he can't help but be excited.

To be honest, if this foundation wasn't laid well enough, when it came to business, Xu You would be really a little worried.

After all, breakfast is not a banquet, no matter how rich it is, it won't last long, and when Xu You put down his chopsticks, Yuan Shao asked.

"Ziyuan, have you seen General Zhang on this trip, why does he always stay still? He's supposed to be ordered this time, right? ”

"This ......" The most feared question came, Rao thought all the way, but Xu You was still a little hesitant, feeling that Yuan Shao's eyes had a hint of fierceness, and he replied stubbornly: "Lord, I haven't seen General Zhang on this trip......"

"Huh?" Yuan Shao's face sank.

"The lord doesn't know that Wang Yu is widely spying in Qinghe, and it is difficult for outsiders to move an inch, and the closer you get to Juancheng, the more rangers will patrol back and forth...... The minister risked his death to the city, and found that the city gate had been blocked, and the chasing soldiers behind him were chasing closely, so he could only leave a book to General Zhang and did not enter the city. If the minister is incompetent, please punish the lord. ”

Yuan Shao's expression was a little gentle, and after a while, he said hatefully: "This open jaw is really an incompetent person who is strong on the outside and capable in the middle!" Previously, he was ordered to hold the Qinghe River and seal Wang Yu's westward journey, but he did not listen to the order and rushed to battle, resulting in a heavy defeat, which caused the situation in Jizhou to erode to this day. Now Lone Three ordered him to fight, but he was scared out of his courage and became a turtle with a shrunken head, which made Lone be ridiculed in vain! Hateful, hateful! ”

As he spoke, he turned to Xu Yu again and confirmed: "Ziyuan, this time, Lone's handwritten letter, you sent it into the city with your own hands, right?" ”

"Yes." Xu You bowed his head and answered.

The letter must have entered the city, went to twenty people, and came back two, and the casualties were a little heavy, but after all, the situation was fed back. As for his sacrificing his life to rush to the city, it is pure fabrication, the rangers in Qingzhou are so fierce, he Xu Ziyuan still has to make meritorious contributions from the dragon and leave his name in history, how can he not cherish his life so much?

"That's good." Yuan Shao nodded. Xu You's careful thinking, he actually guessed it, but he didn't plan to care.

What is a Loyal Minister? As long as the pace is consistent with the Lord, he is a loyal servant. On this basis, if you have a little ability to do things, you will be able to do things. As for fear of death, greed for money, bad character, deception, and lack of discipline, this is not a big problem.

For example, that frustration, as well as the previous Tian Feng, these people who don't know each other, even if they pinch their noses for the time being, they will have to find a way to solve them sooner or later. is better than the lord, and always works against the lord, is this what a courtier should do?

Absurd!

As long as the letter is sent in, it doesn't matter if you go in person, Zhang Jaw still refuses to listen to the order, and he will naturally look good in the future!

Yuan Shao said slowly: "There is one more thing, you have to go far away." ”

Xu You's heart moved, and then he was overjoyed: "Lord, you have finally made up your mind?" However, if Zhang Yan really retreats......"

"Rebels and thieves, sooner or later they have to be resolved, just by the way." Yuan Shao said with a murderous face: "When Lone was good at persuading him, he didn't know each other, now, hum, it's too late!" ”

"It will be as the Lord desires."

"Good!" Yuan Shao glanced at Xu You deeply: "Remember, you must fight quickly, don't delay the hour!" ”

"Don't worry, my lord, Xu Yu is gone."

"Go ahead." Yuan Shao waved his hand, and there was a stir in his heart, finally, it was time to completely solve this big problem.
