Three Kingdoms: Starting from zero, a wealthy party

Chapter 239 Departure
Looking at the lonely Cao Pi at the entrance of the cave, Xun Yu said, "I think the master's plan can be implemented."

Hearing this, Cao Pi's eyes lit up, and he looked at Xun Yu in disbelief, hoping that he would tell him why he suddenly changed his mind, but he was more happy because his actions were adopted. "but!"

Xun Yu yelled and brought Cao Pi back to reality: "I mean, let's find Yuan Shao's food and grass camp in person, and then tell the prime minister about this place, and turn the tide of the battle for our army, which can be regarded as making up for the two of us who lost Xuchang City. .”

Cao Pi nodded after hearing this. "Then according to Dr. Xun, what should we do next?"

"First of all, we need to know where we are, and then move towards Yuan Shao's camp. Fight outside. The grain and grass camp is either behind the camp of the Chinese army, or it is secretly placed not far from the main army."

After thinking for a while, Cao Pi said: "What Doctor Xun said is right. I can answer the first question. This place is about two hundred miles away from the north gate of Xuchang City. The city is only one hundred and eighty miles away, judging from the distance, you and I should have arrived at Father's camp long ago, presumably there is some deviation in the direction."

"There is a small river around, and the current is fast. It should be a branch of the Yellow River, and there is still running water. After thinking about this series of scenarios, I probably know where we are now."

"The valley you and I are in should be on the right side of my father's camp. The distance from my father's camp should be more than fifty miles, or even about a hundred miles. The distance from Yuan Shao's camp is according to the distribution of the military camp passed by my father back to Xuchang. If you look at it, it is more than 70 miles away from Yuan Shao's Dazhai, so the situation is not very optimistic for you and me."

After listening to Cao Pi's explanation, Xun Yu was stunned on the spot. He never thought that Cao Pi, who had gone out hunting in the past, would have already thought of all these things. If so, then things would be much easier.
"According to the young master's analysis, we are now very far away from the prime minister and Yuan Shao's camp. According to the common sense of military strategists, there will never be soldiers here, but if there is an army, then our goal is obvious. gone."

"Doctor Xun means that if there are traces left by the army here, it means that Yuan Shao's food and grass camp is not far from here!"

"Young master's words are very good. The most urgent thing is to finish the meal immediately and bury all the traces here, so as not to leave any excuses for others."

Cao Pi nodded, stomped out the fire on the ground, and seized the time to destroy the roasted rabbit in his hand.
After eating, he found sand from the corner of the cave, and covered the ashes of the fire.
After finishing all this, Cao Pi helped Xun Yu leave here, and returned to his hunting place. The two horses were still there and had not been found. Cao Pi let out a long sigh of relief.
The two got on their horses, left here, and continued to march north, looking for their target.
Perhaps this is God's will. A few days later, Cao Pi really made the greatest contribution to the Battle of Guandu.
At the same time, in Yuan Shao's camp, the list of cavalry sent by Liu Bei had also arrived, and personally delivered Liu Bei's secret letter to Yuan Shao.
Yuan Shao, who was sitting in the big tent, looked at the secret letter in his hand suspiciously. He didn't understand what kind of news a person who had left could bring him. Could it be that he told himself that you had a bad time with Sun Ce and wanted to come back? To be my subordinate again, or to say that you had a good time with Sun Ce, and take this opportunity to ruthlessly laugh at me for losing a battle just now!
The more Yuan Shao thought about it, the more he went astray. He didn't know what was in the letter, but his eyes on the messenger in front of him became more and more unfriendly. He always felt that Liu Bei didn't bring him any good news. On the contrary, the mocking It's more likely.
However, he didn't show it on his face, but suppressed this emotion in his heart, and continued to look at the secret letter in his hand. Suddenly, he thought of another possibility. Could this letter be from Cao Cao on the other side of Guandu? sent by someone.
It has to be said that Yuan Shao, who has lost the battle, has become more and more fresh and refined. Once bitten by a snake, he will be afraid of well ropes for ten years!
The first battle of Cao Cao left an indelible impression on him, treacherous, hypocritical, scheming, and now it is the critical period of the war, all foreign resources are quite worthy of suspicion.
Don't blame Yuan Shao, after all, as the commander-in-chief of the three armies, he needs to be responsible for his actions and for the more than 40 soldiers under him.
He said to the messenger in front of him: "Go down and rest first, someone will entertain you well."

The messenger thanked him and left, but Yuan Shao had a headache. He opened the secret letter and read it. The content from Liu Bei made his eyes shine, but he suppressed the joy forcibly, and immediately sent someone to invite Guo Tu Come discuss with Xu You.
After a while, Xu You and Guo Tu came to Yuan Shao's big tent one after another. They were a little puzzled, why the lord wanted to find them two so early, before it was time to discuss matters.
Yuan Shao picked up the secret letter in his hand and said: "Look, this is a secret letter sent to me by Liu Bei's messenger. The content of the letter is beyond my expectation, so I have a discussion with you two."

Both Xu You and Guo Tu had some doubts. Didn't Liu Bei go to seek refuge with Sun Ce long ago? Why is he still sending good news to the lord now?
Xu You thought more, didn't he go to find Sun Ce, then what did he do? Could it be that he took refuge in Cao Cao!
Just when I had this idea in my mind, it was immediately rejected by Xu You, how could it be possible! Liu Bei and Cao Cao have a sworn hatred, how could they cooperate!
He took the superstition letter from Yuan Shao suspiciously, and began to look through it. The content of the letter was very plain, but to them on the Guandu battlefield, it was as precious as rain after a long drought.
After Xu You finished reading it, he immediately said to Yuan Shao: "My lord, this is a golden opportunity for us. We should use it reasonably. This time, we will definitely be able to annihilate Cao Cao in one fell swoop."

Guo Tu was stunned when he heard it from the sidelines. He didn't understand how much energy this seemingly ordinary secret letter could have, which could reverse the current situation on the battlefield.
He immediately snatched the secret letter from Xu You and read it.
Yuan Shao, who was sitting on the main seat, fell into deep thought after hearing Xu You's words, and said after a while: "Do you think the authenticity of this news is reliable, and can it be used by me?"

Xu You immediately cupped his hands and said, "My lord, don't worry, Liu Bei hates Cao Cao so much, I don't think he will help Cao Cao use a false message to frame my lord."
