So Xu You opened his mouth and said:

"My lord, although Cao Cao has an army of 25, due to the conflict between Cao Cao and Kong Rong, Kong Rong must defend the city to the death. We will sneak attack from the rear when Cao Ren attacks Pingyuan County."

"Cao Cao has just conquered Yuzhou, and his strength will definitely increase. Last time we were attacked by Cao Cao in Jizhou, we suffered heavy losses. If we don't send troops, we will let Cao Cao grow bigger, and I am afraid it will be even more difficult to deal with Cao Cao in the future. "

"We don't have to wipe out all 25 of his troops, we just need to sneak up and make trouble, and prevent him from successfully capturing Pingyuan County."

After listening to Xu You's words, Yuan Shao nodded in satisfaction. He knew in his heart that if Cao Cao took Qingzhou again this time, Cao Cao's troops might far surpass his own.

In the future, I will no longer be able to pose any threat to Cao Cao.

So Yuan Shao opened his mouth and said:

"Xu You, how many soldiers and horses should we send to sneak attack this time?"

Xu You thought for a while and said slowly:

"That depends on how the lord wants to fight? Do you want to severely damage these more than 20 soldiers? Or do you just want to sneak attack them and prevent them from successfully capturing Pingyuan County?"

After hearing this, Yuan Shao asked suspiciously:

"Oh~! How about heavy damage? How about sneak attack?"

Xu You smiled and said:

"Returning to my lord, if you want to severely injure 25 Cao's army, you can write a letter, send it to Beihai quickly, and hand it over to Kong Rong. Both of us will attack Cao's army back and forth. At that time, Cao Cao's army will definitely be overwhelmed and suffer heavy losses. .”

"If you just want to sneak attack and prevent Cao Jun from breaking through Pingyuan County, then my lord only needs to send [-] cavalry to burn his food and grass behind Cao Jun and sneak attack their rear troops."

Yuan Shao listened to Xu You's two answers, thought for a moment, and said:

"I still want to severely damage Cao Cao's 25 troops, and give him a front and back attack."

After hearing this, Xu You nodded and said:

"Since the lord has decided so, please write a letter to Kong Rongna in Beihai, saying that he will help him solve the difficulties in Qingzhou, and the lord can also explain in the letter that Kong Rong should pay some price, food or grass, Then it depends on what the lord wants."

Yuan Shao was overjoyed when he heard this. The last time he asked Kong Rong to help him deal with Cao Cao, Kong Rong opened his mouth and asked for a lot of food. It seems that the food should belong to him, and he wanted more. Ask Kong Rong for some.

After Yuan Shao thought about it, he shouted directly to the soldiers outside the door:

"Come here, quickly bring me a pen, ink, paper and inkstone."

When Xu You saw that his lord wanted a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, he already knew his lord's decision, so he said:

"My lord, you can send a general to lead [-] soldiers to Ganling County right now, and join forces with the [-] soldiers of the Ganling Army to deal a severe blow to Cao Cao."

After listening to Xu You's words, Yuan Shao nodded, and said to Zhang Yun in the ranks of generals below:

"Junyi, the prefect ordered you to lead an army of [-] to Ganling County and join the Ganling army. Wait for my order and be ready to attack Cao Cao from the rear of Cao Cao's army at any time! Cao's army must be severely injured."

Hearing what his lord said, Zhang He stepped out and said:

"The last general takes orders~! I will definitely live up to my lord's high expectations."

Zhang He's military strength is not weak, and his ability to lead troops is not inferior to Cao Ren's. It's just that Yuan Shao has never discovered Zhang He's ability to command troops, only his military strength is good.

Hebei Sitingzhu was not just kidding, Zhang Yun turned around and walked out of the hall. The matter was urgent and he had to rush to Ganling County quickly.

As for why Yuan Shao didn't send Yan Liang there, because Yuan Shao was afraid that someone would take the opportunity to attack his Bohai Sea, and Yan Liang wanted to stay to protect himself.

After Zhang He left, Yuan Shao quickly wrote a letter, and then handed it to a soldier, ordering him to enter Qingzhou from Le'an County, and quickly handed the letter to Kong Rong.

After the soldier in charge of delivering the letter left, Yuan Shao began to ask again:

"Xu You, what should I do if Kong Rong refuses to agree to my conditions?"

Xu You listened to his master's words, smiled, and said:

"Don't worry, my lord. Now Kong Rong in Qingzhou has become an ant on a hot pot. He is running around in a hurry. Kong Ni from Yuzhou has been captured alive by Cao Cao. Who else will Kong Rong ask for help?"

Yuan Shao heard Xu You's words, thought for a while, and said:

"Now there are not many princes who are capable and dare to offend Cao Mengde. Except for this prefect, the only one is Liu Xuan who is far away in Liaodong. I heard that guy is now strong and strong, and he even captured Liu Biao's Jingzhou."

Xu You nodded after hearing Yuan Shao's words, but then shook his head and said:

"My lord, don't worry. As far as I know, Liu Xuan and Cao Mengde have been on good terms since they attacked Dong Zhuo, and Liaodong is not too close to Qingzhou. They probably won't send troops to help Kong Rong fight Cao Cao."

"The only thing left is the lord. This Kong Rong must be able to figure it out. If that Kong Rong does not accept the conditions offered by the lord, then he will have to wait for death. Such a choice, he will definitely choose Those who agree to the conditions announced by the Lord."

When Yuan Shao heard Xu You's words, he felt relieved, believing that Kong Rong would definitely agree to his terms.

Yuan Shao said to Yan Liang again:

"Yan Liang, since this is the case, I will leave the matter of recruiting troops to you. Recruit troops for the prefect. You will have enough food. You must quickly restore your original strength."

During this period of time, Yan Liang has been continuously recruiting troops in Jizhou. Notices have been sent out wave after wave, but there are still not many recruits recruited, and the recruits still have to train from the beginning.

So Yan Liang was very melancholy about the recruiting, so he could only nod his head in agreement, and then increase the intensity of recruiting after returning.

And Liu Xuan, who is far away in Jingzhou, has now led a large number of people to Nanyang County and started the plan to transform Nanyang County. He did not live in the city this time, but lived with Zhuge Liang in Zhuge Liang's original house. among.

After Liu Xuan and Zhuge Liang made plans to transform Nanyang County, they received a letter from Liu Bowen from Liaodong. Liu Xuan opened the letter and laughed.

Seeing his lord smiling so happily, Zhuge Liang couldn't help but stepped forward and asked:

"I don't know why the lord is laughing? Did something good happen?"

Hearing Zhuge Liang's question, Liu Xuan smiled and handed the letter in Zhuge Liang's hand, and said to Zhuge Liang:

"Kong Ming, take a look for yourself."

Zhuge Liang got the letter from his lord, opened it and read it carefully. After reading it, Zhuge Liang handed the letter back to Liu Xuan, and said:
