The Assassin Empire of the Three Kingdoms

Yuan Shao jumped up against the table, and in a fit of rage, he even healed his headache. He sat up from the bed in an instant, and threw the bamboo slips in his hand on the ground: "Bold Xu You is like this, are you trying to harm me?"

Guo Tu slowly picked up the bamboo slips scattered on the floor, and said in a low voice: "My lord, calm down, everyone knows that Xu You is greedy for money. It is not surprising that Xu Jiyou is like a father. The judge will put Xu Ji in prison, fearing that Xu You will be angered." Yau, it's not good for our army."

"He dares!" Yuan Shao said viciously: "Xu You is treacherous and only seeks profit. I would bear it at other times. At such a critical moment, it is really unreasonable to encourage my son to accept bribes and embezzlement!"

While the two were talking, Xu You came in happily, holding a piece of brocade in his hand. He didn't notice Yuan Shao's face, and said happily: "At first, it's a good thing! It's a great thing!"

Guo Tu glanced at Xu You, and silently stuffed the bamboo slip into the sleeve.Yuan Shao's anger had not yet subsided, he snorted coldly: "What's the matter?"

Xu You said: "Today I sent scouts to inquire about Cao Cao's news, and I got great news. Look!" Xu You sat down beside Yuan Shao, and opened the silk in his hand for Yuan Shao to watch. Yuan Shao ignored it. He turned his head to one side.

Guo Tu smiled slightly: "Master Xu has always been calm, why are you so happy today?"

Xu You laughed loudly: "What can I say to you people? Benchu ​​is my childhood playmate. Don't interrupt when talking to Benchu!" Guo Tu nodded quickly, shaking his head and smiling bitterly.

Xu You pulled the corner of Yuan Shao's clothes, and unfolded the silk again: "At first glance, this is Cao Cao's document to urge food. Cao's army is short of food, and they can't last long! Taking advantage of Cao Cao's lack of food, march immediately, but Completely defeat Cao Jun!"

Yuan Shao snatched the silk and threw it on the ground.Xu You was taken aback for a moment, then stood up abruptly: "Benchu, what do you mean by that?"

Yuan Shao glared at him.Xu You didn't restrain himself, picked up the silk from the ground, and snorted coldly: "Huh! Yuan Shao, you and Cao Mengde were good friends when we were in Luoyang. For me, it would be better to follow Cao Cao back then!"

"Master Xu, be careful!" Guo Tu couldn't listen any longer, this Xu You was too inarticulate, even if he was the queen, now he is the lord.

Xu You and Yuan Shao were from the same village, and they were confiscated into the court together by the great general He Jin. When the world fell apart, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao wooed Xu You at the same time, and Xu You finally chose Yuan Shao.Ever since he joined Yuan Shao, relying on his friendship with Yuan Shao, he ignored all of Yuan Shao's subordinates and disliked anyone.For this reason Xu You has no friends in Hebei.Moreover, Xu You was greedy for money, so many people came to Xu You, hoping to establish a relationship with Yuan Shao through Xu You, so that he could be further promoted.Xu You never refuses anyone who comes, regardless of whether the matter is completed or not, all the money will be kept.

This time Yuan Shao's southern expedition was followed by Xu You as a counselor.His son Xu Ji relied on his father's power to run amok in Jizhou.In the past, when Xu You was by his side, no one dared to do anything to him.This time Xu Ji actually took advantage of the occasion of raising military rations, accepted bribes from several grain merchants, and sold the grain and grass to the government.He was caught by the judge and sent to prison.

Although Xu You was greedy for money, he was not involved in the struggle of Yuan Shao's sons for the heir apparent.Guo Tu didn't mean to harm Xu You, but just passed on the news of the trial to Yuan Shao.Unexpectedly, Yuan Shao was so furious, Guo Tu persuaded him, and reminded Xu You with his eyes, but Xu You was blind and didn't see it, which aroused Yuan Shao's anger even more.

Yuan Shao was angry, but Xu You was so bold that he had no distinction between master and servant. Yuan Shao couldn't bear it anymore, and looked at Xu You and said angrily: "Xu You, you are so bold that you even colluded with Cao Cao to use this fake Letters to urge food to deceive me? Good! You feel that you have been humiliated by me, so you can go to Cao Cao!"

Xu You was stunned, he didn't know why Yuan Shao would be so angry, or to himself.The atmosphere in the big tent suddenly became a little awkward, Xu You was stunned for a few seconds, and said coldly: "Okay! This is what you said, Yuan Shao, you'd better think clearly!" go.

Guo Tu yelled a few times, Yuan Shao's eyes were murderous, and he stared at Xu You's back, panting heavily.Guo Tu didn't dare to wait any longer, said a few good words, and hurriedly paid a big bill.He ran two steps to catch up with Xu You, grabbed Xu You's sleeve, and comforted him: "Master Xu, don't get angry, the Lord only said these words in a moment of anger, where is Master Xu going?"

"Angry?" Xu You rolled his eyes at Guo Tu: "It's not that you people are instigating it. In order to establish who is the heir, you have been intriguing all day long. With you people by your side, Yuan Shao will be finished sooner or later. I might as well vote for it." Cao Cao can live a few more years."

Guo Tu didn't expect that his good intentions would be met with blank stares, and he really didn't know how to respond.Also angry at this Xu You, pointing to Xu You, nothing to say.Xu You sneered and said, "I have nothing to say! I want to see how long Yuan Shao can support me without me?"

What Xu You said was also angry, he didn't really mean to leave.He stayed in his tent until night, when someone from Yecheng came suddenly and told about Xu Ji's arrest, only then did Xu You realize the seriousness of the problem.Xu Ji was his only son, and the judge unexpectedly arrested him and sent him to prison.Xu You hurried to Yuan Shao's tent.

Yuan Shao is discussing with Jushou, Guo Tu, Feng Ji and others how to deal with Xu You and his son.Xu You raised the tent curtain and went straight in.Seeing these people, his face was gloomy: "You have been slandering me in front of Benchu, framing my son, and I am even more angry with that brat who sent my son to prison. I will make him look good when I return to Yecheng!"

Originally, Yuan Shao didn't intend to do anything to Xu Ji, but it was fine to punish Xu You for Xu You's sake, but Xu You did this several times, and Yuan Shao's complexion immediately became unsightly.Ju Shou hurriedly said: "Master Xu, don't be like this, Xu Ji is indeed corrupt in the first place, there is nothing wrong with the trial and match!"

"Hmph!" Xu You ignored Ju Shou, but looked at Yuan Shao: "Ben Chu, I'll ask you now, will my son Xu Ji be let go or not?"

"You!" Yuan Shao was completely angry, panting: "Come here, throw this madman out of the tent!"

Two soldiers grabbed Xu You's arms and dragged them away.Xu You kept shouting: "Yuan Shao! You treat me like this! Yuan Shao! Yuan Shao!..."

Xu You is not very popular among Yuan Shao's subordinates, relying on his status, he has always been domineering and offended many people.Xu You was kicked out of the tent, but no one pleaded for Xu You.Just as Ju Shou was about to speak, Guo Tu said: "Master Ju, Xu You and his son are greedy for money, Xu Ji colluded with businessmen to pretend to be inferior, Xu You not only didn't deal with his son, but also yelled at the lord, such a madman, the lord didn't kill him, it was already for him Save face!" Ju Shou sighed and fell silent.

Xu You was thrown out of the tent, and soldiers and officials, large and small, came to watch.Xu You felt disgraced, and the anger in his heart was hard to dissipate. He gritted his teeth looking at Yuan Shao's tent.For this kind of trivial matter, regardless of years of friendship, he kindly collected information on Cao Cao but was ignored. Such a person will definitely not have a good result.Thinking of this, Xu You got up and walked towards his tent.

The next day, Yuan Shao had just woken up, and Feng Ji came in a hurry, not caring about saluting, and when he saw Yuan Shao, he yelled, "My lord, something bad happened!"

Yuan Shao's face was ugly, Xu You was rude yesterday, but today Feng Ji became like this, he snorted coldly: "Screaming, what's the point?"

Feng Ji quickly knelt down on the ground: "My lord, something serious has happened, and Xu You has disappeared!"

"what?"

"Early this morning, my subordinates had something to ask Xu You, and went to Xu You's camp, but Xu You was not there, and sent people to search for it, but they couldn't find it. Someone saw Xu You riding out of the camp alone before dawn. Xu You is our army. Counselor, you know our military situation like the palm of your hand, if we flee to Cao Cao, we..."

Yuan Shao was stunned on the spot.Feng Ji yelled twice, and Yuan Shao regained his composure.Feng Ji continued: "It's that Guo Tu, tell Xu You about this matter, Xu You doesn't know about Ye City, and he won't leave the lord!"

"Now is not the time to talk about these things!" Yuan Shao was still sober this time: "Send someone to chase after him immediately, and bring them back to me regardless of life or death!"

Last night, Xu You was lying on the couch tossing and turning, unable to sleep.I think that when I was in Luoyang, I did the most to make Yuan Shao the governor of Bohai.Yuan Shao sent people to persuade him to annex Jizhou. At that time, Cao Cao was recruiting troops in Chenliu, so he also sent people to persuade him.Seeing that Yuan Shao and himself are good friends, he chose Yuan Shao.When he first came, Yuan Shao paid special attention to himself.With the continuous expansion of Yuan Shao's territory, his status around Yuan Shao is also constantly getting lower.

When Cao Cao marched east to Xuzhou, Xu You suggested that Yuan Shao attack Dongjun by surprise.When Cao Cao fought Yuan Shu, Xu You suggested that Yuan Shao send troops to the south, and this time when Cao Cao went to Yuzhou, Xu You suggested sending troops immediately, but Yuan Shao did not accept them.Now being blocked in Guandu, the army spends a lot every day.If he had listened to himself back then, he would have taken over the entire Yanzhou and turned the Yellow River into a river within his own territory with only [-] people sent.

But Yuan Shao's subordinates were intriguing, and they didn't take Yuan Shao's big plans to heart at all, and he was the only person Yuan Shao should trust the most.It's a pity that Yuan Shao listened to the villain's slander, sent his family to prison, and blamed himself instead.Since you, Yuan Shao, are not benevolent, why should I, Xu You, be righteous again?Thinking of this, Xu You sat up, his eyes shone sharply, and he stared blankly at the front. He was constantly having a fierce ideological struggle in his mind. What should he do?

The sky slowly rose from the east, and the faint white gradually expanded. The dew in the morning was still thick, and the wind blowing from the Yellow River was mixed with moisture. Xu You felt a little cold, so he tightened his clothes. Glancing at Yuan Shao's camp, he rushed his horse into the morning mist.
