The teenager is very arrogant

Chapter 37 Conversation with Liu Yu
After the Battle of Shanggu, and Xin Zhao's "true temperament" revealed just now, Liu Yu already has complete trust in Xin Zhao, and even has the idea of ​​developing Xin Zhao into his confidant, so there is no concealment in his words.

Xin Zhao came from later generations, so he naturally knew that there would be a violent collision between Liu Yu and Gongsun Zan!It's just that Liu Yu was the loser in history, and in Zhao Xin's view, even if Liu Yu defeated Gongsun Zan, he would not be Yuan Shao's opponent, and would eventually be destroyed in the long river of history.

Today, Liu Yu's words have opened up his heart so much, Xin Zhao naturally understands Liu Yu's kindness!
You old man, by talking to me like this, do you want to vilify Gongsun Zan and make me stand with you and be your shield?Xin Zhao is not stupid. On the contrary, Xin Zhao thinks he is very smart.

"Lord Zhou Mu, where do you say that?" Zhao Xin pretended to be innocent, opened his eyes wide, and asked with his head tilted.

When Liu Yu saw it, he couldn't help feeling disappointed, thinking that this Zilin was indeed a courageous and resourceful person on the battlefield, why is he an idiot on the road to becoming an official?Hey...forget it, after all, he has only been an official for a short time, and he doesn't understand many things, but...isn't this exactly what I want?

"Zilin, Gongsun Zan and I are in Youzhou. Due to different political views, there are many conflicts between each other. In addition, I admire literature, and he is martial, and has a bad temper. I am afraid that General Gongsun will have conflicts because of this matter. , to take this opportunity to eradicate me, but Zilin has become a fish in a pond."

"The fire at the city gate will affect the fish in the pond?" Zhao Xin asked back in his heart, thinking, "Old dog Liu Yu, you are right in one sentence, you admire literature, he is martial, but he doesn't know that being righteous is a dog-killer, and ungrateful is a scholar."

"Lord Zhou Mu, no way! Based on what I know about General Gongsun, he is not such a villain." Xin Zhao looked like he couldn't believe it.

Liu Yu was very happy when he saw Zhao Xin's ignorant appearance. For such a person, give him three melons and teach him the principles of life, and he will regard you as a mentor and be loyal to you. .

"Zilin, the official career is difficult. You must not have the intention to harm others, and you must have the intention to guard against others." After Liu Yu said this, he stood up and wanted to leave.

Xin Zhao hurriedly persuaded him to stay, he wanted to cleanse Liu Yu up, and he wanted to ask Liu Yu for advice.

Liu Yu deliberately dropped the words, but left at this moment. If Zhao Xin was really a stupid young man, he might have been tricked by him!No matter how Zhao Xin tried to persuade him to stay, Liu Yu still said he was too busy and left.

After Liu Yu left, Zhu Tong and Zhou Cang hurried over.

Zhu Tong clasped his hands and said, "My lord, in this battle, among the 950 soldiers of our army, 560 and 300 were killed and [-] were injured. More than [-] people who belonged to Liu Yu originally returned to the old army when they heard that Liu Yu had returned to Shanggu. went."

"Well, it's inevitable for them to go back. Send an order to Yimo (Tang Miao's word) to send two thousand troops to Shanggu to help in the battle." Xin Zhao said with his hands behind his back.

……

Three days passed, Shanggu and Baitan were in a stalemate, unable to attack each other.As time went on, the court put more pressure on it.Orders were issued several times, and the news reached Liu Yu, who was so angry that Liu Yu scolded: "Dong Zhuo's thief is really the generation of jackals, military affairs, how can you be rash!"

Although he cursed loudly, he still called Zhao Xin and Yuan Shao to discuss important matters, and at the same time sent many scouts to search for Gongsun Zan's news.Today, Liu Yu, Zhao Xin, Yuan Shao and others were discussing how to break the city, but they suddenly heard a notification.

"Come in." The highest officer in Youzhou, Liu Yu, waved his hand, and said with full of airs.

A soldier trotted in from outside the door, knelt down and cupped his hands and said, "Sir, the enemy troops from Karasuma, Baitan County are leaving the city!"

"Out of the city? Where did you go?" Hearing the news, Liu Yu stood up excitedly and asked with trembling arms.

"From Baitan County to the north."

"Could it be that General Gongsun has succeeded?" Liu Yu asked suspiciously, and Xin Zhao could clearly see the deep smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Lord Zhou Mu, since Karasuma's enemy army has withdrawn from Baitan, we should seize the opportunity and follow after them. ’ Yuan Shao cupped his hands on one side and said.

"No! He is not an idiot, how could he retreat without setting up an ambush? Chasing him rashly will definitely hit the enemy's trick!" Xin Zhao said hastily.

Liu Yu waved his hands, and said with a firm attitude: "It must be that Zilin's plan is successful. He is in a hurry, how could he think so comprehensively! But just in case, please ask Benchu ​​(Yuan Shaozi) to lead the army to pursue it. Zilin and I led the troops to respond, I wonder what you two think?"

Xin Zhao cupped his hands and said, "That's okay."

I don't want to mention the whole army going out.

Outside Baitan County, where Liu Yu and Zhao Xin came, a banner with Yuan characters was hung on the top of the city, and Yuan Shao shouted at Liu Yu and Zhao Xin below: "Master Zhou, Zhao Changshi, Baitan County It has been recovered!"

Liu Yu rolled his eyes and thought that Yuan Shao was quite a shrewd man.Xin Zhao also understood that this Yuan Shao was not really going to chase Karasuma, but just wanted to come to Baitan first and occupy it. This credit belongs to him, Yuan Shao.

Liu Yu and Zhao Xin led the troops into the city and went to the top of the city.

"Lord Zhou Mu, Zhao Changshi, don't worry, I have sent my confidant scouts to follow Karasuma to investigate the news. I believe there will be clear news soon." Yuan Shao bowed his hands modestly.

"Haha, let's not talk about anything else, Congratulations to Benchu ​​for taking the White Sandalwood City first!" Liu Yu said cunningly.

Xin Zhao also clapped his hands in congratulations.

Compared to Liu Yu's upset, Xin Zhao didn't feel any discomfort.Before that, Liu Yu killed the general without authorization, which led to the rebellion of the Lu Yuan, Kaicheng surrendered to the enemy, and the fall of ancient times.If Yuan Shao's troops hadn't arrived at the critical moment, he and Liu Yu might not have been able to return to Shanggu City. This was Yuan Shao's first achievement.

Second, after the Battle of the Upper Barnyard, Xin Zhao had only a few hundred soldiers left, and he had no troops at all, so naturally the right to speak was much smaller.

It's just that Liu Yu is a shepherd in Youzhou, so Yuan Shao's plank road construction in secret made Liu Yu feel uncomfortable.

Afterwards, the three of them waited for the news of Yuan Shao's scouts at the top of the city until the evening, when the scouts rushed back.Under everyone's expectant eyes, the scout did not bring any good news, only the movements of Karasuma soldiers.

Yuan Shao couldn't hold back his face, he talked from left to right, and the scene was once very embarrassing.

By the next day, the scouts under Yuan Shao's command seemed to be eating dry food, and they couldn't find anything.

Zhao Xin immediately sent two hundred of his soldiers out to investigate, and they had already reached the Mobei border area. After confirming that Jin Yan's army had withdrawn, Zhao Xin said goodbye to Liu Yu and Yuan Shao, led his troops and rushed back to Fan Yang, and sent troops to order Tang Miao. There is no need to pull it out anymore.
