I was kicked out by Sun Quan, and I turned to Cao thief

Chapter 117 Xu You's Advice
Cao Cao invited Xu You into the tent of the Chinese army, ready to talk by candlelight at night.

What are you talking about at night?
These two brothers must be talking about how to do Yuan Shao!

Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, and Xu You are three younger brothers. After the two are united, the one who is left alone will be unlucky.

Xu You entered Cao Cao's camp of the Chinese army. He had nothing else to do, so he sneaked a glance at Cao Cao's camp.

The oil lamp in the tent is half burnt.

There are a lot of circles drawn on the military map, which are messy.

Therefore, Xu You also understood that before he came, Cao Cao was probably studying tactics with Guo Jia and others.

Make that look of walking backwards, just to show him.

Thinking of this, Xu You peeked at the military map again.

Xu You's level, among the counselors, can be regarded as second-rate up, first-rate down.

how to say?

Xu You is the goalkeeper of that first-rate strategist. If you are stronger than him, you are a first-rate strategist. If you are weaker than him, you are a second-rate strategist.

From this military map, Xu You could see that Cao Cao had just deduced many tactics.

However, these tactics have one thing in common.

That is, Cao Cao was in a hurry.

Cao Cao was in a hurry, what does this mean?
This shows that Cao Cao has no food.

When Xu You was with Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao also discussed tactics.

After Tian Feng proposed the "consumption" formula, Yuan Shao was ready to spend two or three years.

Who knew that Cao Cao's situation was even more embarrassing than they had expected.

Not to mention two or three years, if these two or three months have not passed, Cao Cao will have no food.

After Xu You learned the important news that Cao Cao was out of food from this military map, the rest of the matter was easy to handle.

Xu You knew what was in his mind, and he took the lead to ask Cao Cao with a slight smile: "I don't know how long Mengde's food and grass will last!"

Cao Cao was taken aback, raised his eyebrows, and thought, Xu You asked such a sharp question as soon as he came up, this question is not easy to answer!

After thinking for a while, Cao Cao stroked his beard and replied, "I dare not say more, there is still enough food and grass for a year."

Cao Cao is a man who doesn't bat an eyelid when he speaks nonsense.Seeing how confident he is now, you really think he's telling the truth.

This answer, not to mention Xu You, even Su Ming who was beside him was shocked.

Su Ming thought to himself, you can really brag!Ten days of food, dare you say a year.

After hearing Cao Cao's answer, Xu You didn't speak, but stared at Cao Cao with big eyes.

What Xu You meant was to blow, you keep blowing, I want to see how you play next.

Cao Cao felt uncomfortable being watched by Xu You, and seemed to feel that he had exaggerated a little too much, so he changed his words with a smile: "One year, this is together with the food and grass in the rear. If you only count the food and grass in the front, three For a month, I can still support it.”

After Cao Cao's conversation fell, Xu You walked away.

Xu You walked out of the camp, it seemed that he didn't intend to play with Cao Cao anymore.

As soon as Xu You left, Cao Cao panicked.

The key to defeating Yuan Shao lies in Xu You. If he leaves, Cao Cao will really be unable to fight this battle again.

Cao Cao grabbed Xu You's arm and asked, "Ziyuan, why did you come into my camp and turn around without saying a word?"

Xu You raised his brows and said, "It's not that I, Xu Ziyuan, want to leave, but you, Cao Mengde, won't allow me!"

"I risked my life and death to vote with sincerity, but you kept fooling me over and over again. Why?"

"I'm waiting for a counselor to come to advise you. You need to know the real situation. You have lied to me again and again."

"It's all, I'm making plans without knowing the situation. Wouldn't it be a random plan. Instead of waiting until that, you lose the battle and blame me, it's better to leave now and go back to the mountains and forests."

What Xu You said is reasonable and reasonable.

What he said left Cao Cao speechless to refute.

After Xu You finished speaking, Cao Cao's little black face was flushed with shame!
"Ziyuan! Food and grass is a big deal. Let me tell you, you must not leak it!" Cao Cao took Xu You's hand and said with confidence, "Ziyuan, I will tell you nothing, there are not many people in my camp. It's the daily food."

"Even if you use that small bucket to weigh the food, it will only be enough for ten days at most."

After Cao Cao finished speaking, Xu You nodded secretly.

Food and grass are only enough for ten days, which is not much worse.

Xu You smiled, took out a map from his pocket, and handed it to Cao Cao.

"This is the topographic map of Wuchao. Mengde only needs to send a team to bypass Guandu from the forest and head to Wuchao."

"After arriving at Wuchao, disguise this team as my Xu family's food transport team, and then enter Wuchao."

"Yuan Benchu ​​is more resourceful than decisive. When Wuchao is on fire, he will panic. At that time, Meng De can take advantage of the victory to attack." Xu Youkai said.

Xu You's plan is the same as the one discussed by Guo Jia and Su Ming.

The key to this strategy is to get Xu You's cooperation and have this topographic map of Wuchao.

After Xu You finished speaking, Su Ming immediately cupped his hands and said, "Prime Minister, let me go to Wuchao."

Going to Wuchao, this is going deep into the enemy's rear!
Moreover, it is certainly impossible to bring too many soldiers and horses there.

In Cao Cao's view, this is an extremely dangerous task. Su Ming is his son, and he doesn't want Su Ming to go.

Cao Cao didn't want Su Ming to go, but Su Ming had to.

Su Ming rushed to participate in the battle of Guandu in order to accumulate reputation, so he had to show his prestige in this battle.

On the frontal battlefield, large-scale military confrontation, personal bravery is difficult to use.

Only this kind of surprise attack and burning food is the easiest way to make credit.

Moreover, Su Ming didn't just want to burn food this time. After burning food, he had other ideas.

In short, Su Ming's battlefield is not on the front.

"This..." Cao Cao wanted to say no.

Before Cao Cao could say anything, Su Ming cupped his hands and asked for a fight again, saying, "I'm going to Wuchao, I have the best chance."

"Prime Minister, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses Chen and the front line, at this moment, the overall situation is the most important, don't take children's love into consideration!"

Hearing Su Ming's words, Guo Jia couldn't help but secretly nodded.

I thought to myself, Mr. Su Ming is not only highly skilled in martial arts, but also knows how to march and fight. His character is also first-rate!

"My lord, Mr. Su Ming has gold-plated phoenix wings and a Hulei leopard. No one in the world can hurt him." Guo Jia also echoed.

After weighing the pros and cons, Cao Cao felt that no one was more suitable than Su Ming to set fire to Wuchao.

So Cao Cao said, "I'll let Cao Hong take three thousand leopard riders with you."
