Xun Yu nodded and took it, opened it in front of Cao Cao, and then showed his face: "Very good."

Cao Cao leaned over to take a look: "He's quite interesting, but does Wen Ruo think the news is reliable?"

"I think it should be credible," Xun Yu pondered for a moment, "He is in the Wei camp now, and the defeat of the Wei army will not do him any good, unless... Ma Chao saw through our divorce scheme at the beginning, and Han Sui was a secret agent."

But immediately Xun Yu shook his head and smiled: "I'm really confused, no matter how they play, they won't really kill Ma Teng."

Cao Cao rubbed his hands: "Kill the king and usurp the throne?"

"No, Ma Chao is a dutiful son, and Han Sui is even more willing to risk his life for Ma Teng. They will never do such a thing."

Cao Cao nodded, "Only bystanders know that two people who were loyal to Ma Teng would break up because of Ma Teng's death."

Xun Yu put his hands into his sleeves, and smiled slightly: "Your Majesty is not good. It is precisely because of concern that chaos is caused. No one thinks that the other party can't compare with his loyalty, so that's why."

Cao Cao also laughed: "Yes! That's the truth!"

Xun Yu suppressed his smile and pondered for a moment: "It is precisely because of this that the granary should be correct, but it is very likely that it is an account to make up the number, not the core one."

Cao Cao pressed his finger on the thin letter paper and tapped it repeatedly. Xun Yu knew that this was the prelude to his decision.

"Whether it's big or small, take a large army to attack, and bring back the ones that can be transported, and burn the rest." Cao Cao said slowly, "Xiliang is famous for its brave cavalry. Now the sky is covered with dry grass and the northwest wind is blowing. It’s a good time to start a fire.”

Xun Yu was stunned for a moment: "Your Majesty wants this...with a radius of hundreds of miles to be reduced to scorched earth?"

Cao Cao nodded: "I have already ordered people to watch the wind and turn to the sky. Just one fire is better than thousands of troops."

"It turns out that His Majesty asked Han Sui to tell where the granary is, just to test his sincerity." Xun Yu looked a little hesitant.

Cao Cao said "Hey": "Don't blame Wen Ruo, I still have one thing to entrust to you."

"What's the matter?" Seeing Cao Cao's serious face, Xun Yu couldn't help but also frowned.

"I'm going to personally lead the army to attack the granary Han Sui gave me, so you stay in the city and pay close attention to Ma Chao's movements.

If the granary is insignificant, Ma Chao will definitely move around and besiege the Wei army's camp; if the granary is of great importance, he will definitely turn his head and run towards me. "

In any case, that fire will inevitably catch Ma Chao by surprise.

The plan is a clever plan, but it is too tragic.

Xun Yu knew that the benevolence of women would not be tolerated on the battlefield, and the Xiliang army was bound by the blood of the nation, so it was not easy to subdue it.Since they can't take this group of thugs for their own use, and they definitely don't want to let others be their minions, they can only kill them all.

What's more, the Shule River runs from northwest to southeast, and the downstream is full of abundant pastures. After this fire, even if the Xiliang army can retreat completely, I am afraid that within a few years, this fertile land will be exposed to wind erosion into sand.

Since ancient times, military strategists have not been warlike, but there can be no peace without war.In this era, force is always more submissive than benevolence and justice.

Chief Xun Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and ordered the soldiers to always pay attention to the scouts' information, while counting the remaining guards.

After everything was dealt with, it was already dark, and Xun Yu felt his stomach was empty and his hands and feet were cold.

It's long past the meal time in the army, the weather is cold and the army consumes a lot, there is no food left in the pot.Xun Yu didn't want to disturb the kitchen again just because of himself, so he planned to go back to his camp and light a fire to make some milk tea.

When passing by Han Sui's tent, he smelled a strong smell of alcohol. Xun Yu sniffed and frowned.

Alcoholism is prohibited in the army, what does this Han Sui want to do!

Xun Yu cleared his throat, saw that the curtain of the tent was not closed, so he stood sideways in the gap and looked inside.

There was no light in Han Sui's tent, only the sporadic light from the fire outside the tent, and Han Sui was seen sitting on the ground with his head bowed and motionless in the mottled light and shadow.

Xun Yu cleared his throat and stamped his feet, but Han Sui still didn't respond.

Could it be...

Xun Yu was shocked, and quickly called several soldiers to rush into the tent, and turned on the lights, only to see Han Sui's hair covered his face, and he let out a low breath.

Xun Yu hurriedly raised his hand to signal the soldiers to stay calm, and took a step forward. Suddenly, a cold light flashed in front of his eyes, and the icy edge of the sword touched his throat.

Xun Yu was startled, but quickly calmed down, looked sideways at the soldiers behind him and said, "You all, get out."

"Prime Minister..." The soldiers hesitated to advance or retreat as if they were facing an enemy.

"The truth tells you to step back!" Xun Yu said with a heavy tone.

When there were only two people left in the tent, Xun Yu lowered his eyes to stare at the sharp sword edge: "It's such a stable sword, the general really deserves to be the number one general in Xiliang."

"Xiliang? Hahahaha..." Han Sui revealed a bloodshot eye with unruly hair, like a ghost from hell. "The prime minister praised him absurdly. The prime minister is the number one think tank in the Han Dynasty."

Satisfied with Xun Yu's expression, Han Sui laughed: "The homeland cannot be pursued, don't mention the past! Don't mention it again..."

In the second half of the speech, his voice dropped, and Han Sui withdrew the sword from Xun Yu's neck, and put it on the ground like that, supporting his precarious body.

Xun Yu turned his eyes to look at the light, the wick was cut very short, and the light of the fire was flickering and dim.

"The old country cannot be pursued, but there is still a long way to go. Turn on the lights and take a good look." Xun Yu sighed softly.

Han Sui turned his head and glanced at him: "Cao Cao led the army to the granary?"

Xun Yu nodded.

"Hahaha!" Han Sui laughed suddenly, "I lost, I lost, Ma Chao will definitely lose..."

Xun Yu was startled secretly, but remained calm on the face: "It's all thanks to the general."

Han Sui laughed, and the laughter sounded full of shock: "Yes, it's all because of me! It's all because of me!"

Xun Yu took a step back silently. He saw something wrong with Han Sui's current state, which couldn't be described in words, but it felt very familiar.

"Your Majesty is determined to regain Xiliang, and he will serve our Great Wei in the future, so that he can give full play to his talents as a general." After saying such words according to the routine, a trace of self-mockery surged in his heart, and Xun Yu subconsciously clenched his fingers under the sleeves of his robe.

"The world is so big, there is no room for me after all. The one I can't let go of is Xiliang, otherwise I wouldn't know your ambitions and give up the official warehouse." Han Sui raised his head, and the deep black pupils reflected Without turning off the lights, "Knowing that the wolf is in the front and the tiger in the back, and that persistence is useless, but there is still this heart, it is very stubborn, and it will not turn."

Xun Yu only felt that all the feelings faded away for a moment, he just said mechanically: "Then why did the general tell Yu the address of the granary?"

"Because, as you said, the Great Wei is powerful, and if Xiliang can be ruled by Cao Cao, it may be freed from the hardships." The smile on Han Sui's face became bigger and twisted like a crying expression, "This land God-given abundance should not be trampled under the iron hoof year after year."

Only then did Xun Yu come to his senses. Seeing that Han Sui had put the sword on his neck, he rushed forward to snatch it: "The general sees this, but Naize has been punished by the great benevolence and righteousness of the common people. The general cannot commit short-sightedness, so that all the people in the world will lose a great virtuous man!" !"

Han Sui shook his head: "The prime minister can persuade Sui this time, but he can't persuade him next time; he can make people take care of Sui for a while, but he can't watch him forever; unless he cuts off his hands, feet, limbs, and knocks off all his teeth, he will be like a dog in the future. I’m just living like a fly. Prime Minister, I’ve lost my reputation outside, please raise your hand and let me clear myself up.”

Xun Yu suddenly felt a burst of exhaustion, not because of Han Sui, but because of that sentence that clears the world.

Because of him, he suddenly saw the struggling self.

Xun Yu bent down and cupped his hands, saluted Han Sui respectfully, then turned around and walked out step by step.

The other millet is Lili, the seedling of the other millet.

Walking is extravagant, the center is shaking.

Those who know me say I am worried, and those who do not know me say what I want.

Long heaven!Who is this?

"Be kind to the people of Xiliang, Prime Minister Xun, thank you."

Xun Yu didn't look back, he raised his hand and opened the camp tent, the sky outside the tent had already turned white.

"Report-fire..."

"Shut up!" Xun Yu suddenly roared angrily, and the ordering soldiers were immediately silenced from fright.

Xun Yu raised his feet and stepped out of the tent, and looked with his hands behind his back. What he saw was a vast wilderness, full of decaying grass.

General Han, I'm sorry that I can't promise you, this crime, you and I will settle it when we go underground.

"Pass down the order and burn it!"
