The Assassin Empire of the Three Kingdoms

"Report...! My lord, there is a person outside the camp who claims to be the lord's old friend, please see the lord!"

Cao Cao just got up, sitting on the side of the couch in only his coat, while the servants were combing Cao Cao's hair.Cao Cao said indifferently: "Old man? Who's the name of the visitor?"

"This person calls himself Nanyang Xu You!"

Before the messenger could speak, Cao Cao stood up suddenly.The servant who was combing his hair didn't notice that the comb was still in Cao Cao's hair.Cao Cao was so anxious that he almost broke the comb, and a strand of black hair was pulled out by the servant.The servant was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and kowtowed to plead guilty.Cao Cao ignored him and ran out of the tent barefoot.

Xu You stood outside the gate of Cao Ying, looking up at Cao Ying's arrangement.The wall of the village is towering, with strong crossbows guarding both sides, and a long line of repelling horses at the gate of the village can block the cavalry.A road leads directly to the handsome tent at the highest point in the middle, and there are many large and small tents on the left and right sides. The soldiers patrol back and forth, and the sentinels stare at themselves with wide eyes.

"Ziyuan! Ziyuan!" Cao Cao shouted while running.

Xu You heard it from outside the door, and hurriedly turned his head to look into the camp.Cao Cao's posture makes it hard to think that he is the all-powerful commander-in-chief.With disheveled hair, wearing only a middle coat, and barefoot, he hurriedly ran towards this side, followed closely by servants holding clothes and boots.When the two met, Cao Cao grabbed Xu You's hand and said, "Come from far away, please come in quickly. I haven't seen you for many years, but Ziyuan is still in high spirits. Come and come, quickly enter the camp. Send the order and prepare the banquet. I To catch the wind for my son."

Seeing Cao Cao's appearance, Xu You was a little moved.Thinking of the cold reception he received at Yuan Shao's side, the enthusiasm of Cao Cao was really different.In the big tent of the Chinese army, Cao Cao held a banquet to welcome Xu You, accompanied by Cheng Yu, Dong Zhao and others.After a few glasses of wine, the relationship between everyone became closer. When talking about the interesting stories of Xu You and Cao Cao in Luoyang, both of them laughed, and the atmosphere was warm.

From the meeting in Luoyang to the current battle of Guandu.Xu You put down his wine glass: "Meng De! You and Yuan Shao have been dating each other in Guandu for several months. I don't know how to defeat the enemy?"

Cao Cao smiled: "Soldiers come to block the water and cover it with earth. Since Yuan Benchu ​​wants to attack me, I can only bite the bullet and go up!"

"I heard that Mengde is short of food and grass, can this matter?" Xu You glanced at Cao Cao with a smile on his face: "I hope Mengde will tell the truth!"

"Hahaha...!" Cao Cao laughed loudly, "Where did Ziyuan hear the news? Our army has enough food and grass, and it won't be a problem to persist for another year or so."

"Really?" Xu You smiled and looked at Cao Cao meaningfully.Cao Cao felt a little nervous, and quickly laughed and said: "It seems that Ziyuan still can't be hidden. In this case, I will tell the truth, our army has enough rations to support it for half a year!"

"Half a year? I don't think so?" Xu You still had the same expression.

Cheng Yu, Dong Zhao and the others looked at Xu You, not knowing what kind of medicine Xu You was selling in his gourd.Cao Cao laughed loudly: "Ziyuan is wise and well-deserved of his reputation. Our army is short of food and grass. If Yuan Shao doesn't retreat in three months, I will have to retreat."

"Hahaha!" Xu You laughed loudly, took out the letter Cao Cao urged for food from his bosom, and handed it to Cao Cao: "Meng De, please look, what is this? I dedicate this to Yuan Shao, but Yuan Shao ignored it. If Yuan Shao advances at this time, how long can Meng De last?"

Cao Cao took it over and saw that it was his own food urging letter, he laughed: "This is a fake, I can't believe it."

Xu You shook his head and stood up: "Since Meng De doesn't believe me, I'll leave now!" After saying that, he walked out of the tent.

"Wait a while!" Cao Cao hurriedly stopped him, and hurried over to grab Xu You: "To be honest, our army is short of food and grass. I don't know what to eat today. I have ordered to kill some horses to tide over the crisis."

Xu You nodded: "Meng De just said the truth. Meng De is short of food and grass, so he shouldn't fight Yuan Shao. You have to use a trick to win. I have a plan. I wonder if Meng De would like to hear it?"

"Ziyuan, please tell me, I can't ask for it!"

Xu You said: "Yuan Shao's army has failed many times since it sent troops from Yecheng, but its morale is still solid. It relies on food and grass. For the convenience of transportation, Yuan Shao hoarded food and grass in Wuchao behind him. If the water is burned and the food and grass are burned, Yuan Jun's morale will inevitably be unstable, and Yuan Shao can be defeated in a single battle!"

"A brilliant plan! It really is a brilliant plan!" Cao Cao was overjoyed: "Ziyuan is a godly man, with Ziyuan's help, I don't have to worry about Yuan Shao's invincibility!"

Cheng Yu said: "Mr. Xu, there must be an army guarding Yuan Shao's food storage, who is it?"

Xu You nodded slightly: "Mr. Cheng is right. Wuchao is Yuan Shao's important food storage area. Yuan Shao sent General Chunyu Qiong to lead more than [-] soldiers to guard it. Good wine and greedy for money, Mengde has a chance of winning against him!"

Dong Zhaodao: "Guandu is not far from Wuchao. If there is an accident, reinforcements will arrive immediately. Yuan Shao will definitely rescue such a heavy place. Those who go there may die. My lord, this plan is too risky. If it doesn't work, Yuan Shao will definitely come out. Our army But it's dangerous!"

Xu You laughed loudly: "Soldiers are taking risks. If you don't take risks, can you beat Yuan Shao? I heard that the town general Long Fei joined forces with Meng De. Why don't you send him to rob food? It doesn't matter to Meng De if he loses." Big problem, if you win, Yuan Shao will definitely lose!"

Speaking of Long Fei, Cao Cao has a big head.After the last time, Long Fei never showed up again. He sent someone to invite him, but always refused with various excuses. Now his own strength is comparable to Long Fei's, and it is not easy to force him.Long Fei might not be willing to go to such a dangerous matter.Cao Cao sighed: "Hey! Ziyuan is not an outsider, so let me tell you, I have nothing to do with my son-in-law. If he doesn't want to go, I have nothing to do."

Xu You said: "Long Fei has a saying, the only thing in the world that benefits the most, as long as Meng De offers appropriate benefits, I believe Long Fei will still go."

"Appreciate further details!"

Xu You said: "All the princes in the world are generals, great generals, and the worst ones are the governors of one side, and Long Fei hijacked His Majesty, in order to cover people's eyes and ears, so as not to be honorable, until now he is just a small town general. A miscellaneous general, if Meng De is willing to protect Long Fei from the imperial court as Zhennan General, it will be much better than his Zhenguo General."

"General Zhennan is Liu Biao. Doesn't this offend Liu Biao?" Jiang Ji said hastily.

Xu You smiled: "Long Fei has been interested in Jingzhou for a long time, we are just pushing the boat along the way! Even if Liu Biao wants to hate, we have to go to Wancheng first!"

"Hahaha!" Cao Cao laughed loudly, "Ziyuan is wise! Just follow Ziyuan's plan!"

Although Long Fei stayed in his own camp and did not come out, he still knew everything in the world clearly.Of course he knew that Xu You left Yuan Shao and went to Cao Cao.According to the development of history, the arrival of Xu You directly led to Yuan Shao's downfall. It seems that Chunyuqiong of Wuchao is about to suffer.Looking at Cao Jun's camp again, only Cao Chun's tiger and leopard cavalry can attack Wuchao, but this is Cao Cao's guards.But judging from the past few days, there is no sign of the tiger and leopard cavalry being mobilized.

Long Fei and Guo Jia are guessing Cao Cao's mind.Cao Cao's envoy came and asked Long Fei to go to the big tent to discuss matters.Guo Jia took a look, nodded and said: "It seems that Cao Cao really wants the master to go out! This is a narrow escape, the master must not agree!"

Long Fei nodded: "Don't worry Feng Xiao, I know what to do."

When I came to Cao Cao's big tent, I saw a middle-aged man with a ruddy complexion next to Cao Cao. Although this man looked upright, he always seemed to feel that something was wrong. He had inverted triangle eyes, a distilled nose, bulging cheeks, and a stern expression on his face. Unnatural smile.Cao Cao first introduced that this person is Xu You.Long Fei nodded slightly at him, and Xu You also nodded in return.

Long Fei sat down.Cao Cao was the first to speak: "Ziyuan came here to tell me the great news. Yuan Shao stationed grain and Wuchao, and only sent Chunyu Qiong to lead a small number of soldiers to guard it. If we rob Yuan Shao's grain and grass, Yuan's army will be defeated without a fight!"

Long Fei thought to himself: Sure enough, it's for this matter.He still pretended to be excited and listened.After Cao Cao finished speaking, Long Fei said: "Since this is the case, father-in-law can send someone to sneak attack, and it will definitely succeed."

"Ugh!" Cao Cao was speechless.

Xu You said: "General Long did not participate in the decisive battle between Meng De and Yuan Shao last time, and Meng De's soldiers were wounded. In my opinion, General Long is good at night raids and surprise attacks. How about General Long?"

Long Fei smiled and looked at Cao Cao: "Father-in-law also thinks so?"

Jiang Ji hurriedly said: "If this sneak attack is successful, my lord is willing to protect your Majesty as General Zhennan!"

"Oh? Well, you can think about it!" Xu You really hit it off, and Long Fei really cared about this title.General Zhennan was created by Emperor Ling of Han Dynasty.In order to seek more wealth, Emperor Ling listened to Zhang Rang's words and sold his officials and nobles.General Zhennan is one of the generals of the four towns, commanding Jingzhou and Yuzhou, in charge of conquering rebellion and guarding the south.Liu Biao, the current Zhennan General, is also Jingzhou Mu, with a high position and authority.And Jingzhou is also a treasure land, with thousands of miles of fertile fields, rich scholars and rich people, and the envy of all princes.When Sun Ce was about to die, he sent Zhou Yu to attack Jiangxia, apparently to avenge his father, but in fact he opened up the passage from Jiangdong to Jingzhou.

"Cough!" Guo Jia coughed lightly.Long Fei immediately changed his words: "General Zhennan was appointed by the imperial court. His Majesty is in Wancheng now. It is not difficult to become this general. Mr. Jiang is very famous for offering flowers to Buddha! Hehehe!"

Xu You smiled: "Wancheng is a small place, Liu Biao is a nobleman of the royal family, if the general forces himself to be the general of Zhennan, everyone in the world will laugh at him, if Meng De recommends it, others will have nothing to say, and the general can be justified, so Waiting for a good thing is rare in the world, if it is replaced by someone else, I am afraid it will not be able to do it!"

Cao Cao said again: "My son-in-law is resourceful and brave. Such a trivial matter as robbing grain must be easy. I have found out that Yuan Shao sent people to transport grain from Yecheng recently. Chunyu Qiong was escorting the grain and grass and was not in Wuchao. It is a rare event in a thousand years." Given the opportunity, attacking at this moment is easy! I will lead a large army to sit in Dazhai, if the son-in-law succeeds, immediately attack Yuan Jun's camp, Yuan Shao will definitely lose, and we will win this battle!"
