When Xu You heard Liu Ye's question, he laughed and said:

"Zi Yang can rest assured, then Yuan Shao has entrusted me to handle all this matter, no matter whether it is the counselors or generals under his command, they cannot participate in it."

When Xu You said this, he smiled and continued:

"I'm the only one who knows about this matter. Why don't those aristocratic families listen to me? I'm trying to fight for their interests. Can they still disagree?"

Hearing Xu You's words, Liu Ye thought for a moment, his eyes lit up, and he said:

"I didn't expect that, brother Ziyuan, Yuan Shao believed in you so much, and let you control this matter alone, so we can do whatever we want?"

Xu You laughed, nodded, and said:

"Yes, that's it."

Liu Ye asked:

"I don't know what brother Ziyuan's plan is?"

Now that Xu You had chosen to follow Cao Cao, he didn't hide anything from Liu Ye, and said:

"Brother Ziyang, this matter still needs Meng De's help."

Liu Ye asked suspiciously after hearing this:

"I don't know how brother Ziyuan wants the lord to help you?"

Xu You said lightly:

"For this matter, I will first go to the various families in Jizhou and tell them that as long as they can bring some families to Jizhou, then Yuan Shao will send troops to fight against Liu Xuan in Liaodong for them."

"Let them write letters one by one and send them to the aristocratic families in various states and counties, asking them to move their families to Jizhou."

When Liu Ye heard this, he asked:

"How could those aristocratic families from other states and counties come to Jizhou just because of a letter?"

After hearing this, Xu You explained with a smile:

"These letters appear to be written to those aristocratic families, but they are actually written to Yuan Shao. As long as they write letters, Yuan Shao will believe that it would be best if they can attract one or two aristocratic families. Come on, then we can only look at Meng De's."

After hearing this, Liu Ye asked:

"What should my lord do?"

Xu You said:

"At that time, I just need to let the family members write letters to many families in Yanzhou, regardless of whether the relationship is good or not."

"The rest is up to Meng De. You just need to find some aristocratic families in Yanzhou and negotiate with them. Pretend to be at odds with Meng De, so come to Jizhou to join Yuan Shao. As long as Yuan Shao sees those aristocratic families If we can really bring him a new family, then Yuan Shao's self-confidence will definitely swell to a high level."

"At that time, as long as I join forces with the aristocratic families to ask Yuan Shao to attack Liaodong, Yuan Shao will definitely agree to send troops."

Liu Ye heard Xu You's strategy, thought for a moment, then nodded, and said:

"My lord doesn't like the noble families too much, but the relationship with some families is really good, and the lord also has people from these families working for the lord."

"If you can get those aristocratic families to come to Jizhou to pretend to join Yuan Shao, then there is no problem, but what if Yuan Shao continues to delay?"

After hearing this, Xu You said with a smile:

"Brother Ziyang, you can rest assured that I will ask Yuan Shao to agree to send troops. As long as Yuan Shao does not agree to send troops, those aristocratic families who come to seek refuge will not come to Jizhou. Before these aristocratic families come, let Yuan Shao agree to send troops. If you agree, those aristocratic families who pretend to seek refuge can come to Jizhou."

"As long as Yuan Shao sees this, he will definitely not wait any longer, and will definitely send troops to attack Liu Xuan immediately."

When Liu Ye heard Xu You's words, he knew all of Xu You's plans this time, and what he needs to do now is to return to Yanzhou and tell his master all Xu You's plans.

Liu Ye also believed that his lord would agree to Xu You's plan, but it was just to let some aristocratic families come to Jizhou temporarily, and return to Jizhou after his lord wiped out Yuan Shao.

Moreover, those aristocratic families will be credited with a great credit by their lords, and the aristocratic families are definitely willing to do so.

So Liu Ye opened his mouth and said to Xu You:

"In that case, I will return to Yanzhou now and discuss with the lord. When there is a result, the lord will definitely send someone to inform brother Ziyuan."

Xu You also nodded after hearing this, and said:

"Since brother Ziyang is going back to Yanzhou to discuss with Mengde, then Xu will not let brother Ziyang stay here today, but hurry up to deal with the matter, so as not to delay for a long time, and a situation beyond our control will appear. .”

Of course Liu Ye also understood the reason why nights were long and dreamy, so he chatted with Xu You for a few more words, and then left Xu You's mansion with his guards, left the city, and returned to Yanzhou.

After Liu Ye brought people back to Yanzhou, he didn't go back to his mansion to rest, so he came directly to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao heard the report from the gatekeepers that Liu Ye had returned to Yanzhou and was waiting outside the gate. Cao Cao quickly put down the pen in his hand and said:

"Quickly let Zi Yang in."

The soldier ran outside the door and brought Liu Ye in. Seeing Cao Cao, Liu Ye cupped his hands and said:

"My lord, my subordinates are back, and I have lived up to my lord's trust. After seeing the beauties and fine wine sent by my lord, Xu You really agreed to help my lord provoke Yuan Shao and Liu Xuan to fight."

When Cao Cao saw Liu Ye, he laughed and said:

"Zi Yang doesn't need to be too polite, just sit down and speak slowly."

Cao Cao also heard what Liu Ye said just now, but Cao Cao still liked to pretend and didn't talk about it right away.

After Liu Ye sat down, Cao Cao said:

"Did Xu Ziyuan say how long it will take for Yuan Benchu ​​to send troops to attack Liu Xuan?"

Liu Ye heard that his lord asked. He just spoke, and seeing that his lord ignored him, he thought that the lord didn't care about things over there at all, so he opened his mouth and said:

"My lord, Xu You promised to go to Jizhou this time, but it was supposed to be carried out according to the plan, but after Xu You arrived at Yuan Shao's place, he changed the plan."

Cao Cao heard Liu Ye's words and asked:

"Oh~? What's going on here? Since Xu Ziyuan agreed to this matter, he shouldn't go back on his word. What happened?"

Liu Ye heard Cao Cao's question and said:

"My lord doesn't know. According to what Xu You told his subordinates when he came back, although Yuan Shao has the support of so many noble families from Kong Ronghe in Qingzhou, he just wants to delay time for the noble families, and doesn't want to send troops to attack Liu Xuan."

"Xu You also had no choice but to think of seducing Yuan Shao with greater benefits."

Cao Cao nodded after hearing this. According to his own understanding of Yuan Shao, if this person did not have enough interests, he would not send troops easily, so he opened his mouth and said to Liu Ye:
