I should marry the traitor

Chapter 269 Xu You Makes a Plan
The war was in full swing. Under Tian Feng's manipulation, Yan Niang and Wenxiu performed poorly and suffered repeated defeats.

Yuan Mochu's subordinates were not united to begin with, and now both of them were subjected to a lot of doubts.

Of course, there were some smart people who noticed some clues, but they kept silent.

After all, Yuan Mochu kept it a secret, and he must have hoped that as few people would know as possible, so even if someone saw something, no one would point it out.

There are also people like Guo Tu, who clearly saw that Yuan Mochu was faking defeat, but still pretended to be wrong and continued to deny it.

Guo Tu has always had industries in Runan County. Now that Yuan Mochu is going to adopt this strategy, it means that a considerable part of his industries will be destroyed by Cao Mengde's army. How can he accept this?

And Guo Tu is not the only one who cannot accept it. There are many people who have similar interests as him.

But no matter whether they are smart or stupid, their common interests make them unable to accept the battle line being pushed back.

The calls from these groups with common interests to convict Yan Niang and Wen Xiu were very strong, which inevitably increased the pressure on Yuan Mochu.

Fortunately, Yuan Mochu was not completely confused at this time and suppressed the voices of opposition.

At this time, Xu You finally got the opportunity she wanted.

Xu You, dressed in cloth and slightly dishevelled, arrived outside Cao's military camp at night and was stopped by patrolling soldiers.

Looking at the frightened and vigilant soldiers, Xu You suppressed his mixed-blood aura and said, "I am not an enemy. Please inform Cao Zhonglang as soon as possible and tell him that my old friend Xu You is here to visit."

Seeing Xu You's relatively kind attitude, a soldier quickly went to pass on the message.

After all, Xu You is a mixed-race, and no matter whether he is an enemy or a friend, he is not someone that these big soldiers can deal with.

At night, Cao Mengde originally planned to go to sleep, but when he heard Xu Xuyu coming, he immediately put on his outer robe and hurried to greet her.

The soldier brought Xu You into the army. Cao Mengde was delighted and bowed to greet him.

Seeing this, Xu You hurriedly supported Cao Mengde and said, "I am just a commoner. You are the Lieutenant General of Daqian. How can you come to see me?"

Mengde is a pen name, her given name is Caocao, from her childhood, so Xu You called her Acao.

Seeing Xu You calling him by his nickname, Cao Mengde raised his eyebrows slightly, and then a look of joy appeared on his face.

"I was conferred the title of General of the Central Army by that thief Dong, so let's not talk about it. Besides, you and I are close friends, and a mere official title doesn't mean anything."

No matter how sincere or false Cao Mengde's words were, it always made the listeners feel comfortable.

Then, Xu You bowed and said:

"I was not in control at the beginning and could not choose a wise master."

"I had no choice but to submit to Yuan Mochu, but Yuan Mochu treated me very disrespectfully, and refused to listen to me, so I abandoned him."

"I'm here to throw myself at you today, I hope you won't despise me."

Cao Mengde was speechless. You abandoned Yuan Mochu and left? This sounded so fake? Do you really think I don't have any eyes or ears in Yuzhou?

Of course, Cao Mengde didn't show any sign of it on the surface and still maintained his happy expression.

"Since Zilu is willing to help me, I think I can accomplish great things. Please teach me how to defeat Yuan Mochu's plan."

Xu You looked at Cao Mengde with a playful look on his face: "Mengde has won small victories along the way. Isn't he confident?"

"Zi Luo is a smart man, he should be able to see the problem."

"Of course, how could Yan Niang and Wen Xiu be so incompetent? In my opinion, Yuan Mochu must be faking defeat." Cao Mengde nodded. Yuan's army was superior to Cao's army in almost all aspects, but under such circumstances, they suffered small defeats along the way. Moreover, Yan Niang and Wenxiu were still leading the troops even when they were losing battles all the way. No matter how confident Cao Mengde was, he could smell something wrong.

In response to Cao Mengde's thoughts, Xu You continued, "I originally persuaded Yuan Mochu to send troops to Jiangxia to cut off your retreat."

Cao Mengde's pupils suddenly dilated when she heard this. Family members know their own business. Only she herself knows how weak Jiangxia County's defense is. Should she say that Xu You is worthy of her. He really understands her.

"If Yuan Mochu follows Zilu's plan, I will definitely fail."

However, Xu You shook his head and said:
"If she doesn't use my strategy, you will still be defeated. It's just a matter of time."

"In terms of military strength, Yuan Mochu is far superior to you. In terms of elite troops, she is also far superior to you. Even when it comes to her counselors and generals, she is much stronger than you."

"Meng De, the only thing about you that is stronger than Yuan Mochu is perhaps your bloodline."

"So no matter how Yuan Mochu fights, the probability of him winning against you in the end is at least 80%."

"The reason why Yuan Mochu pretended to be defeated was just to prevent you from fighting and running away."

"She thinks that if time drags on for too long, it will easily attract Dong Bai's Xiliang cavalry. As for your own strength, Yuan Mochu doesn't care."

"Meng De, you have now penetrated deep into Runan County. Yuan Mochu has almost completed the siege on you. The next step will be a large-scale encirclement and suppression of you."

Xu You belittled Cao Mengde for a while, but she no longer had time to be angry. Thinking about the surroundings and topography of Runan County in her mind, Cao Mengde had to admit that Xu You's statement was highly likely.

"It doesn't matter. Even if it's a fake defeat, Yuan Mochu's army has been defeated all the way. How can they defeat me with low morale?"

"What if the army surrounded Meng De? How long can Meng De eat his food if his food supply is cut off?"

"Enough to last more than a year."

"Don't make me laugh, Meng De."

"Well, actually, it can only last for half a year."

"I treated you with sincerity. If Meng De deceived me like this, I would leave."

"Don't blame me, Ziluo. Military secrets cannot be neglected. In fact, our army's food and grass can only last for two or three months."

"you sure?"

"I can't tell you directly that the food in my army can only barely last for a month."

"You are such a treacherous Cao Mengde, don't hide it from me. The letter Xun Yu sent to you was intercepted by Yuan Jun's spies. If I hadn't killed that group of people on the way, your food shortage would have been put on Yuan Mochu's table."

After receiving the secret letter handed over by Xu You, Cao Mengde's expression changed drastically.

Then she bowed again and said, "Zi Luo, you have come here to remember the past. Please teach me how to defeat the enemy!"

Xu You smiled in response, feeling very happy.

She had been waiting for the opportunity to receive such respect today.

Yuan Mochu's contempt and disdain cast too much shadow on Xu You, and she desperately wanted to regain some sense of existence from Cao Mengde.

Xu You wanted to take revenge on Yuan Mochu, that slutty woman who looked down on others, and he could only do it through Cao Mengde.

Xu You helped Cao Mengde up: "Don't worry, Mengde, I came here today for this reason. Mengde, just listen to my plan, I guarantee you will defeat that arrogant and rude bitch Yuan Mochu!"
