My father is Yuan Shu?But I want to be a Cao thief

Chapter 319 Cao Cao's mind, no alliance for now!

"My lord, Yuan Shao sent Xu You to see me!"

At this moment, Wei Kuo stepped in, cupped his hands and said.

"Xu You?" Cao Cao raised his eyebrows.

"Hehe, my lord, it seems that Yuan Shao sent Xu You over to discuss the alliance." Xun Yu smiled lightly and explained while smoothing his beard.

"Go, let him in!" Cao Cao waved his hand.

The three legs stand together, and now that Chu Feng is the only one, he naturally wants to form an alliance with Yuan Shao, but this thing can't be said to be agreed directly, more or less he has to fight for something.

After a while, Xu Youkuo stepped inside.

"Xu You met Cao Gong!" Xu You glanced at the old acquaintance, and said neither humble nor overbearing.

Speaking of which, he and Cao Cao are considered one of the old friends. In the early years, he conspired with some people and approached Cao Cao, but Cao Cao disagreed.

"Ziyuan doesn't need to be polite!" Cao Cao raised his hand.

"I don't know what Ziyuan is talking about all this time?"

"Mr. Cao really doesn't know?" Xu You looked at Cao Cao suspiciously.

"Naturally!" Cao Cao pretended to be puzzled.

"My master was defeated by Chu Feng, and now I am returning to Yedu. The purpose of sending me here this time is to form an alliance with Duke Cao to fight against Chu." Xu You said loudly.

"Oh, you lost at the beginning?"

Cao Cao pretended to be surprised, pretending to be like that.

Xu You looked at Cao Cao strangely, logically it is impossible for Cao Cao not to know, but Cao Cao didn't seem to be pretending, so he had to explain: "Exactly!"

"At the beginning, the soldiers were strong and the horses were strong, and even tens of thousands of elites were assembled in Xuzhou. How long has it been? How could they be defeated like this?" Cao Cao smiled incredulously.

"Really defeated!" Xu You said with certainty.

Cao Cao hesitated, then asked, "How about the casualties?"

"More than [-] people!" Xu You replied.

"More than [-] people?" Cao Cao rolled his eyes, and all the civil and military personnel in the hall also looked weird. Obviously, Xu You didn't hold his fart well, so he deliberately said less.

It is estimated that [-]% of them say this in order to occupy a dominant position.

"At the beginning, there were 20,000 to [-] elite soldiers, but only [-] people were lost. How could it be possible to abandon the entire Central Plains and retreat to Yedu? I'm afraid there are more than that?"

Cao Cao looked at Xu You suspiciously.

"Mr. Cao is joking, but the 20,000 people is what my lord announced to the outside world. In fact, our army lost 30,000 people. As for the withdrawal, the main reason is that there is not enough food!"

Xu You is still playing sloppy eyes.

"Hehe, Ziyuan, you and I have been close friends for many years, but there is no need to hide the war damage, right?" Cao Cao was slightly dissatisfied, Xu You had a lot of eyes.

"Haha," Xu Youlang laughed, constantly embarrassed.

"Meng De was joking. The loss of 30,000 people is what my lord told me to tell Meng De. In fact, our army lost 50,000 people in this battle, and most of them were the main force, so we avoided their edge."

Cao Cao nodded, and continued: "I thought I was the enemy of Chu Feng at first, but I didn't expect to fall into his hands, but let's talk about the alliance in the future!"

"Why?" Xu You asked in surprise.

"Ziyuan, I live in the danger of the four passes, and Chu Feng can't get in at all, so I don't worry about what happens to Chu Feng. At the beginning, the Yellow River defense line was useless in the eyes of Chu Feng's boat master."

"After this battle is over, it is estimated that in three years at most, Chu Feng will definitely raise his troops to the north and conquer Yedu." Cao Cao shrugged, feeling that this matter had nothing to do with him.

"Meng De, this statement is wrong!"

"Three-legged confrontation now, although you have a foothold in the pass, the Qinling Mountain Pass is not impenetrable. Once my lord is defeated, you will be alone!"

Xu You hurriedly said.

His purpose of this trip was to persuade them to form an alliance, and he could not return without success.What's more, he had to establish a good relationship with Cao Cao, so it would be convenient for him to defect.

"Hey~, Ziyuan's words are serious."

"I am in these four passes, and then I will occupy Yizhou, the land of abundance, sitting on mountains and rivers. He, Chu Feng, will be his emperor, and I, Cao Cao, will be my vassals. Wouldn't it be beautiful if the well water does not interfere with the river water?"

"What's more, Chu Feng's strength should not be underestimated, and the outcome of the battle is unpredictable. Even if he wins, will it be the original emperor Ren or me, Cao Cao?"

"At that time, there will inevitably be another fight. Instead of this, it's better to separate one side and have fun!" Cao Cao waved his hand, obviously not thinking of forming an alliance.

"Meng De, be prepared for danger in times of peace!"

"Then Chu Feng is definitely not a thing in the pond. If he really wants to kill Meng De after he annexes my lord, how can he indulge?" Xu You said hastily.

But as soon as he finished speaking, he vaguely saw a flash in Cao Cao's eyes. For a moment, he hesitated. It seemed that Cao Cao did it on purpose, wanting him to let go of the bottom line first?

What is his purpose?
Could it be that he wants to cut his lord's flesh again?But now Yuan Shao has nothing to cut.

But Xu You is sure that Cao Cao definitely has a plan. You know, his Cao clan has been cut down by Chu Feng more, so it stands to reason that Cao Cao hates Chu Feng even more.

"Ziyuan, don't bother me about this matter. I also have some friendship with that Chu Feng. These things are still..."

Before Cao Cao could finish speaking, Xu You interrupted directly: "Meng De, you and I have been friends for many years. If you have something to say, just say it straight? Why bother?"

"Everyone in this world can reconcile with Chu Feng, but you, Cao Cao, can't? Your son, your woman, including the blood on Chu Feng's hands, is enough to explain everything!"

Cao Cao was at a loss for words, his face was cloudy and uncertain.

Because Xu You didn't give him face too much, but when he thought that his woman was still in Hefei, and was often bullied by that bastard Chu Feng, he became furious.

Of course, an alliance must be formed.

But Cao Cao knew that he couldn't rush to defeat Chu Feng. As for the initiative to form an alliance, he needed to fight for it. Otherwise, relying on Yuan Shao, a fool,
He can only be buried with him!

Seeing that Cao Cao was uncertain, Xu You smiled lightly and said, "Meng De, what concerns or conditions do you have? Tell me, I am your friend for many years, do you still not trust me?"

"Haha, trustworthy and trustworthy!" Cao Cao jumped up, stepped forward to dust off Xu You's body, with an expression of great importance.

"Ziyuan, to tell you the truth, I have a mortal hatred with Chu Feng, and I will avenge it in this life, so forming an alliance is naturally the best!"

Cao Cao said solemnly.

"And then?" Xu You asked.

"But having said that, the purpose of forming an alliance is to defeat Chu Feng. It's not that I don't trust Yuan Chu's strength, it's that Chu Feng is treacherous and changeable, hard to guard against, and difficult to deal with."

What Cao Cao said meant something!
"Are you worried that I will be the main leader?" Xu You narrowed his pupils slightly, as if he had gotten to the point where Cao Cao was worried, and couldn't help asking.

Cao Cao patted him on the shoulder, gave him a knowing look, and then explained: "Ziyuan, you also know that although I, Cao Mengde, is also a descendant of the Sangong, I am much worse than the original Yuan family."

"At the beginning of the year, the fourth generation and the third prince had a prominent status, so naturally they looked down on my status. Therefore, the position of leader will be given to him just like when he was asked for a director."

Xu You stroked his beard, he understood what kind of medicine Cao Cao sold in his gourd.

He was worried that Yuan Shao would overpower him and that he would not be able to defeat Chu Feng. No wonder he made a big circle just now, but it was really what Cao Cao said.

After all, what Yuan Shao cares most about is face.
If the two form an alliance, it is obviously impossible for Yuan Shao not to be the leader of the alliance.

"Ziyuan, I also regard you as a close friend, so I told you these things. After you go back, you tell Yuan Shao that I have no intention of forming an alliance at the moment, and we will talk about it later!"

Cao Cao shied away, this time he would not agree to anything.

All he needs to do is to express his position, let Xu You know what he thinks, and at the same time put Yuan Shao aside to cool off, it may be better to talk about it when Chu Feng really wants to fight.

Anyway, he is in an invincible position in Guanzhong, and Chu Feng's first choice must be Yuan Shao's Hebei.

Xu You shook his head helplessly. He really couldn't make a decision on behalf of Yuan Shao, so he could only say bitterly: "Since Meng De has his own plans, I won't persuade him much."

"However, you and I are also considered best friends. If we haven't seen each other for many years, why don't you let me have a few drinks?"

"Haha, Cao Ren, take Ziyuan down to rest." Cao Cao laughed heartily, and then said with an apologetic smile, "Ziyuan, you'll be here later. I'll finish my government affairs and I won't be drunk tonight!"

"I will accompany you to the end!" Xu You stepped back with fists in his hands.

He already knew that this trip was useless, he could only think of a relationship with Cao Cao;

Looking at Xu You's receding back, Cao Cao's smile disappeared, and all the civil servants also smiled wryly. Xu You didn't agree, but it's not urgent.

"My lord, Yuan Shao is so anxious to form an alliance, it seems that this battle has caused him a lot of losses." Guo Jia added.

"My lord, no matter what, let's go to Xiliang first. As for Yuan Shao, when Chu Feng goes north, he will naturally be honest, and it will be easy to talk about everything then!" Cheng Yu also added.

"Hehe, my lord, Xu You is greedy for money and tactful. I'm afraid he wants to build a good relationship with the lord by staying here this time." Xun Yu chuckled lightly.

Cao Cao nodded, and he could see it too.

"My lord, Xu You is talented, but he is proud of his talent. But for the time being, he is only under Yuan Shao's command, so he can win him over. Maybe he will be able to use him in the future!"

Xun You added another sentence.

"Well, I know it in my heart." Cao Cao nodded. Xu You's greed for money is the biggest problem, but now he is only Yuan Shao's person, so he can win him over by himself.

For a while, everyone talked to me.

Except for Yuan Shao's problems, the main thing is to talk about people's livelihood, strategy, and military affairs.

After talking about this, Cao Cao was ready to go to the appointment.

As for the strategic direction, that is to rectify Xiliang, train soldiers and horses, stabilize the place, and at the same time wait for an opportunity to spy on Yizhou. Only by completing these two aspects of the layout can he have a chance of winning.

In short, at this moment, Cao Cao is trying every means to strengthen himself, just to have another decisive battle with Chu Feng!
