The Three Kingdoms: Starting from Inheriting Dong Zhuo's Foundation

Page 169

Yanzhou East County.

A place called Lihu.

Xu Chu's unit, who had gone so far alone, used it as a foothold for the time being after they took down here.

However, they did not enter the city to rest, but stationed outside the city.

to act at any time.

The scouts were sent out one by one for about twenty miles.

Half of the dry food brought from Luoyang had been eaten, and Xu Chu ordered everyone to keep the remaining half.

Because these are portable.

The current grain is broken out of some cities in Cao Cao's East County, and then moved out of the granary in the city.

Of course, Xu Chu would also take out a third and distribute it directly to the people in the city.

Yanzhou, Qingzhou and Xuzhou.

Xuzhou was the poorest under Lu Bu's rule, while Cao Cao and Yuan Shao's Yanzhou and Qingzhou were not much better.

In order to fight against Dong Luo, they did not hesitate to impose heavy taxes several times, almost taking away all the grain grown in the people's homes.

There was not much surplus food in the families of the hundred families, and many people were grateful to Xu Chu for distributing food to the people like this.

this evening.

Xu Chu stood not far from the barracks, with a body as majestic as a tiger, like an iron tower.

Holding the horizontal knife inserted on the side with one hand, he silently looked at a tent not far away.

A short time later, a man emerges from inside that tent, and sneaks past some guards.

Xu Chu didn't ask anyone to stop him. After watching the man walk into the darkness, he raised the horizontal knife and walked towards the tent.

"Xu You, do you have anything to say?"

Inside the tent, Xu You was stroking his three-stroke beard and sneering endlessly.

Seeing Xu Chu like this, he immediately knew that Xu Chu had understood what happened just now.

"The general seems to have known about it for a long time."

Xu Chu snorted, and put the knife on the table in front of Xu You.

"I knew that man was outside the barracks. I just wanted to see what I was looking for you for."

When Xu You heard this, he looked at this reckless man in surprise.

"It turns out that the general is not completely reckless. I thought that as soon as the general found out, he would kill me with a knife."

"Hmph, why is it so difficult to kill you? You are in this barracks, which is full of soldiers who are loyal to Xiangguo, and you don't have the ability of Tianbao General Yuwencheng, can you run away?"

Xu Chu laughed disdainfully.

He was under Duan Yan before, and Duan Yan taught him a lot.

Xu Chu himself didn't know how much he had learned about the art of war, but he still learned a lot with his calmness.

Sitting up and walking, there is a lot of simmering wind.

But Duan Yan said that he was like Duan Jiong who was both civil and military.

Xu Chu understood that Duan Yan wanted him to be Duan Jiong!

Xu Chu with these changes is also quite different in Xu You's eyes.

Looked like a fool.

But seemingly reckless and irritable, he is actually extremely calm, and has not been dazed a few times.

There have been several battles during this period, Xu You can see clearly.

"General Duan Yan can teach you like this, which shows his ability, and he is worthy of being Duan Jiong's family."

"Presumptuous!" Xu Chu got angry, "The thing General Duan dislikes the most is when others compare him to Duan Jiong!"

Otherwise, Duan Yan would not have resolutely followed Xiangguo's order to go to the Western Regions.

Xu You's face froze.

Just now, he unknowingly exposed his arrogant personality that had been hidden for a long time.

Since he was reminded by Jia Xu last time, he has been learning from Jia Xu's practice.

During this period of low-key, and doing his own things conscientiously, it really saved him a lot of trouble.

Now it is even possible to fight alone with the army, and it belongs to Dong Luo's most trusted original Xiliang iron cavalry!

"General Xu forgives the crime, but Xu You's outspokenness offended him." Xu You took a slight step back, "Let's get back to the point."

"Say!" Xu Chu glared at him, and pointed at the horizontal knife in front of Xu You, "If what you say is wrong, I will kill you with one blow!"

Xu Youhe laughed.

"General Xu, that person just now is Cao Cao's emissary. He came to me just to make me abandon Xiangguo and join him. He also wanted me to persuade the general, or to help destroy the ten thousand cavalry."

Xu Chu laughed out loud when he heard that, "Hahaha, what a joke, Xiangguo's direct cavalry is invincible in the world! Even with you as the internal support, if they want to completely eat all these ten thousand cavalry, they must be prepared to smash their mouths to pieces. "

"Naturally." Xu You nodded.

"However, you were captured by Xiangguo before, and you were also coerced into surrendering. Now that you have the opportunity, don't you seize it?"

Xu Chu stared at Xu You and asked a question.

"That was in the past, not now. Xiangguo is now at the height of the sun. Besides, Xu You is not stupid. If he really returns to Yu Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, it may be as short as three months or as long as three years, and he will die."

Xu You twisted his beard under his jaw and smiled.

He has already seen through Cao Cao and Yuan Shao.

Even if Cao Cao and Yuan Shao can accept him again, he doesn't want to go back.

With Dong Luo's current situation, great things can be expected in the future!

What's more, on Dong Luo's side, as long as they don't openly form cliques for personal gain, don't criticize each other, and don't affect the business because of mutual conflicts, and do their best, as long as they have the ability, they will definitely be reused.

It was completely different from when he was in Yuan Shao's place before, when his courtiers fought with each other.

Even with Yuan Shao back then, he was the first to provoke most of the battles.

Now, he, Xu You, can serve as the sole military adviser of the [-]st Route, isn't that a proof?

You know, the last one who served as the sole military adviser of the [-]st Route was Jia Xu who went to attack Yizhou!

"Okay, General Xu, maybe we can hide a big loss from Cao A."

When Xu Chu heard this, he raised his eyebrows, "Why, you want to use your tricks?"

"That's right." Xu You was extremely confident, and the corner of his mouth twitched, "But it's a plan."

"What do you mean?" Xu Chu became a little impatient.

It is especially annoying for this kind of mystification.

Before being taught by Duan Yan every day, Xu Chu didn't dare to do anything about him as a teacher, but now Xu You is not.

And he didn't like Xu You's temperament.

After Xu You paused for a moment, "I just promised that person that I want to turn to the light and help them deal with Xiangguo. I have been under Xiangguo's command for so long, and I have some understanding. It must be useful to them."

"Say it straight, don't mince words!"

Xu Chu stared coldly.

"Hehe, General Xu, don't worry."

Xu You shook his head, this feeling is really good.

It's been a long time since I felt such a heavy responsibility.

"Cao Ah is suspicious by nature, I agreed so easily, he will definitely not believe it easily, but he can take advantage of this."

"How to use it?" Xu Chu became interested.

"Hahaha." Xu You laughed three times, "Naturally give him some real information about where we are going to attack next."

"Um... where?"

"Puyang!".

Chapter 210

"Xu You really agreed?"

After Cao Cao got the reward, he really doubted the authenticity of Xu You's quick promise.

The person who went to meet Xu You said: "Xu You has a lot of resentment towards Xiaodong thief in his words, so when I said it, he immediately guessed it and said everything I was going to say next."

"So..."

Cao Cao's expression was inexplicable, and he was a little uncertain.

"You go down first."

"Here!"

After the man left - Cao Cao looked at Xun Yu.

"Wen Ruo, what do you think?"

Xun Yu pondered for a while, "My lord, it is not clear whether it is true or not, but we can wait."

"Wait for what?"

"Waiting for Xu You's sincerity!"

Cao Cao narrowed his eyes, "You mean, Xu You sent it, and Xu Chu's next direction?"

"Exactly!"

"Okay, let's wait." Cao Cao said, and then asked about Chen Liu's situation, "Chen Liu...how is Zixiao's situation?"

When Xun Yu heard this, his face became serious.

"It's very bad. I'm afraid Cao Ren won't be able to hold on for half a month."

"What?" Cao Cao was surprised, "There are still more than 2 people in Zixiao City, and there are only 8 to [-] people in Dong Luo's besieged city."

"My lord, how can Dong Luo's soldiers be compared with ordinary soldiers?" Xun Yu sighed, "If we make an equal comparison, we need two soldiers to replace one of Dong Luo's soldiers."

"..." Cao Cao was silent for a moment.

He knew that Xun Yu was telling the truth.

"If only we could forge that horizontal knife!"

However, the relatively new forging method in Chang'an has not been able to be touched so far.

It is because of the improvement of the method of casting soldiers that this horizontal knife came into being.

But the real situation, Cao Cao is not clear.

"Where are Puyang and Baima?"

When Xun Yu heard this, his face became better.

"Xu Huang was firmly blocked by Xiahou Dun to the west of the white horse, so there is no need to worry too much for the time being."

"Yuan Rang is brave, of course I know." Cao Cao finally had a smile on his face.

So now it's time to deal with Xu Chu.

Available in a day.
