A Journey to the Game World

Chapter 219 It's tantamount to suicide

A while later, under Cao Zhang's summons, Xun You followed Cao Zhi to the Chinese army tent to meet Cao Zhang.

"I have seen the Third Highness!"

Since Xun You was just one of Cao Zhang's advisers at this time, he did not lack anything in terms of etiquette.

"Master Xun, do you know why I called you here?" Cao Zhang asked expressionlessly.

"Back to Your Highness, I don't know!" Xun You said.

"Master Xun, you really know how to act! What did you do yourself? Don't you know?" Cao Zhang sneered, and he couldn't help giving people a chilling feeling.

"I dare not lie to Your Highness, I really don't know why Your Highness called me here!"

Xun You was still the same as the previous answer, except for a slight change in the words, but the original meaning was not the slightest difference.

In fact, Xun You's respect for Cao Zhang was only for the sake of Cao Zhang's father, Cao Cao.

If Cao Zhang was just an ordinary general, then Xun You probably wouldn't be so respectful to him!
Therefore, in fact, under the current situation, Xun You has no fear of Cao Zhang. After all, Cao Cao is his real master, and in Xun You's view, Cao Zhang is just a man relying on his father's prestige. That's all for the second-generation ancestor who gets carried away!
"Okay! Since you don't know, I'll remind you! I want to ask you, where did you go just now?" Seeing Xun You's obsession, Cao Zhang asked directly.

"Return to Your Highness, I just went to the barracks! During this time, the pass is in a period of injustice, I want to personally urge the soldiers so that they can strictly guard the city defense!"

Xun You's answer was very apt to what Cao Zhi said just now, and he did in fact do so.

Because according to his guess, it would be a matter of time before Du Huo sent troops to attack the pass, so the defense of the pass should be the top priority!

However, it was precisely because of Xun You's words that Cao Zhang mistakenly thought that he had found Xun You's handle.

As a result, as soon as Xun You said this, he was immediately used Xun You's answer to make use of the topic!

"What did you just say? Do you want the guards to reinforce the city defense? Are you worried that Liu Bei will attack Xieggu Pass?"

Cao Zhang's face suddenly turned angry. All this seemed to happen in that instant, and it was impossible to find the omen at all.

"Your Highness, isn't this matter an objective fact? If it wasn't for your Highness, Liu Bei wouldn't have led his army to invade?"

Xun You did not answer Cao Zhang's question directly, but used rhetorical questions to subcontract the question to Cao Zhang.

"Are you asking me a question?"

When Xun You just asked this question, Cao Zhang's first reaction was actually to answer it.

After thinking about it, he didn't get a better answer.So, in desperation, he used this rogue way.With his own power, he suppressed Xun You's rhetorical question.

"I don't dare, I just want to confirm this matter!"

Xun You did not show the slightest fear because of Cao Zhang's questioning.

However, because of this, he gave up asking!

"I'm sorry you don't dare to think this way, but since you have already mentioned this issue, I might as well talk to you a little more!

Maybe you will think that the loser in that confrontation was me!But in fact, the final result of the previous battle was just that both sides suffered losses!

Although in the end it was me who led the army to retreat first, but I did that only to preserve our strength!

In fact, if I persist, then those generals under Liu Bei's command may all die in my hands!
However, if I really want to do that, I'm afraid our troops here will also suffer a great loss.

Therefore, in order to avoid unnecessary casualties, I led my troops to evacuate first!
Believe me, when I say this, you should already have a conclusion in your mind!
That's right, there are basically not many soldiers left under Liu Bei's command now. If they dare to attack our pass again, they will definitely die without a burial place! "

In front of Xun You, Cao Zhang could almost be said to be bragging to himself, bragging without reservation.

Sometimes, he even regarded his lies as truth. As for Liu Bei's words about how few soldiers were left under his command, that was just a situation in his own imagination.

But in fact, he didn't even know how many troops Liu Bei had!
As a result, just after Cao Caozhang finished his big words, Xun You, a counselor, basically did not hesitate, puffed up his chest, and launched an unreserved criticism against Cao Zhang's words.

Xun You said: "Your Highness, I admit that in the previous confrontation, you fought very bravely, and your command was quite appropriate!
But one thing you have to admit is that in that battle, you were indeed defeated!No matter how many troops you have left, or how much profit you have gained from the battle, you never got the slightest benefit from that battle!
As for the assumption you made just now, I only have one guess, that is, if the battle continues, Your Highness, you will most likely be completely defeated by Liu Bei's generals!

And until then, I'm afraid you won't even be able to realize your thoughts of withdrawing and passing!
Therefore, it is basically a wise move for you to withdraw to the pass in advance, because if you don't do that, our army will definitely suffer greater losses! "

"Master Xun, stop talking nonsense!"

And just when Xun You said this, Cao Zhi on the side finally couldn't stand it anymore.

But when Cao Zhi wanted to stop him, Cao Zhang stopped Cao Zhi first!

"Don't talk too much, let him continue!"

Cao Zhang had a cold face, his face was livid, like an eggplant beaten by frost.

"Thank you Your Highness"

On the other side, when Cao Zhang dissuaded Cao Zhi, Xun You, who had been eloquent all the time, suddenly stopped and thanked Cao Zhang with a smile on his face.

Immediately afterwards, he continued to speak: "Your Highness, in addition to what I just said, you also made a mistake on another question!

And that question is whether Liu Bei will attack the pass. "

"Well! Then tell me, where did I go wrong!"

Cao Zhang made a response at this time, his hoarse voice revealed extreme disgust.

Moreover, in that disgust, there seems to be a trace of strong murderous intention remaining.

"As ordered!"

However, at this moment when Cao Zhang expressed his intentions to the extreme, Xun You, who had always been known for his strategies, still had no intention of turning around.
