Chapter 247: Xu You Runs Away

"I'm going to rest, you all go back."

Shen Pei, Guo Tu saluted Yuan Shao and retreated. Before leaving, Guo Tu glanced at Xu You with gloating. Xu You walked out of the tent uneasily. Returning to his tent, sitting on the marching couch, thinking about Yuan Shao's attitude just now, feeling that Yuan Shao's attitude suddenly changed 180 degrees after Shen Pei came. What did he say to Yuan Shao? At this moment, an officer walked to the door of the tent and clasped his fists and said, "Sir, someone in your family is coming to see you."

Xu You came to his senses and frowned: "Family?" He stood up and walked out of the tent. He asked the officer: "Where is the person?" "We don't know him outside the gate, so we dare not let him in."

Xu You nodded and walked towards the gate, with the officer following closely behind.

Xu You walked out of the gate, and the officer stopped inside the gate. As soon as Xu You came out, a middle-aged man dressed in a servant rushed up immediately and shouted excitedly: "Sir!"

When Xu You saw him, he said unexpectedly: "It's you? Why are you here?"

The servant wanted to say something, but he looked vigilantly at the sentry at the gate, clasped his fists at Xu You and said, "Sir, please speak with a step." Xu You felt something was wrong in his heart, frowned, and walked towards a big camphor tree not far outside the gate, and the servant followed.

When he arrived at the camphor tree, Xu You asked angrily: "Is something wrong at home? Tell me quickly!"

The servant suddenly cried and said anxiously: "Master is not good! Master, Madam and the others have been arrested by the judicial officer!"

Xu You was shocked, "How could this be?"

The servant said: "It seems that it is because the young master is building a new mansion for the adults! Shen Pei said that it was built by the young master and the adults with greedy public funds!"

Xu You was completely panicked and didn't know what to do. He said to his servants: "Go back quickly, I will deal with this matter!"

The servant Yingpu said and left in a hurry.

Xu You looked at the servant's back as he left, and looked thoughtful. He turned around and walked into the gate. After a while, he rode out of the gate again. The soldier who led the gate was wondering why he had to go out in the middle of the night. However, because of Xu You's identity, no one came to interrogate.

It was already midnight, and Cao's army was still on guard, with no sign of slackness. Xu Chu personally led a team of personal soldiers and cavalry to patrol around the barracks, which was his habit before resting every night.

Suddenly, he saw a group of soldiers escorting a middle-aged man dressed in a scribe's uniform, so he rushed forward. When the soldiers saw it was Xu Chu, they saluted one after another. The bound scholar raised his chin and shouted, "I am Cao Cao's friend. Why do you arrest me? Take me to see Cao Cao!"

Xu Chu looked at the man, disliked the guy's arrogant look, and asked angrily: "Who are you? How dare you call the prime minister's name!"

The scholar glanced at Xu Chu and said proudly: "When Cao Cao and I were studying together, you didn't know where you were? Go and tell Cao Aman quickly, and then say that the old friend Xu You came to see him!"

Xu Chu, a powerful general who was a big and thick, didn't know that Xu was right. Although he was very annoyed at Xu You, he saw that he was so confident that he dared not neglect. He pointed at Xu You and shouted, "Come with me." He turned his head and walked towards the barracks. The soldiers followed Xu You closely.

Xu Chu walked into the tent and saw that Cao Cao had just washed his feet and was about to go to bed. He stepped forward and clasped his fists and said, "Lord, someone is coming outside, saying that he wants to see him." "Who?" Cao Cao went on the bed and covered him with a quilt and asked casually. Xu Chu replied, "That man called himself Xu You, saying that he was the Prime Minister's friend..."

Cao Cao was stunned and quickly got out of the bed. He didn't bother to put on his shoes and ran out of the tent barefoot. Seeing that it was Xu You, he was overjoyed and went forward, grabbed Xu You's hands, and said excitedly: "Oh, it's really you!" Xu You saw that Cao Cao was so enthusiastic, and did not react for a moment, and was stunned on the spot. He came to his senses and couldn't help but feel moved. Thinking about Yuan Shao's coldness and weakness, he couldn't help but sigh.

Cao Cao held Xu You's hand and invited him into the big tent, asking him to share the case with him. Xu You was a little flattered, and after giving in a little humbleness, he sat down.

Cao Cao turned his head and ordered Xu Chu, "Go and get some wine and food." Xu Chu Yingnuo and ran down.

Cao Cao looked at Xu You and said with a smile: "Oh, when I saw Ziyuan, I remembered what happened back then! It seemed like I was a teenager all of a sudden! Thinking about back then, we studied together, traveled together, and peeked at the pretty widow taking a bath together, hahaha!" Xu You couldn't help feeling a little, shook his head and sighed: "The past is gone, youth is no longer the past!" Looking at Cao Cao, "Cao Aman has now become a valiant that shocked the world, and I am no longer the Xu You back then!"

Xu Chu came in, holding a large plate of cooked beef with one hand, and holding a pot of wine and two cups with the other. Before coming to the desk, he put down the beef and wine, and placed the two cups in front of Cao Cao and Xu You, then filled the two of them with wine and retreated.

Cao Cao picked up the wine glass and said with a smile: "Come on, let's drink this glass for the unrestrained youthful time back then." Xu You also raised the wine glass. The two of them drank it all in one go. They looked at each other and laughed loudly.

Cao Cao put down his wine glass, ate the beef, and said with a sad look: "I heard that Ziyuan is a counselor under Yuan Shao's tent. Whenever I think of this, it's hard for me to be sad!" Xu You rolled his eyes, "Others don't know you, Cao Aman, but I know very well! It's weird if you are sad!" Cao Cao laughed, "Those who know me are Ziyuan!" He looked at Xu You, "Since Ziyuan is Yuan Shao's counselor, why did he come to me late at night?"

Xu You sighed, "Yuan Shao is indecisive, and Guo Tushen Pei and others keep making slander. I can't stay there, so I come to join you." He glanced at Cao Cao, "Do you dare to ask how much food and grass you still have in the military camp?"

Cao Cao waved his hand and said, "It can still last more than a month!"

Xu You was furious and pointed at Cao Cao and cursed: "Okay, Cao Aman! I came here sincerely to join me, you actually played with me? Let me tell you the truth, before coming, just tonight, I suggested that Yuan Shao cut off your food route with 100,000 elite soldiers, and at the same time, launch a head-on attack from the army!"

Cao Cao was shocked and sweated coldly, and asked with a glaring look: "Is that true?"

Xu You nodded, "Of course!"

Cao Cao wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said with a look of gratitude: "Fortunately, Yuan Shao did not follow this plan! Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable!"

Xu You asked again: "Can you tell me the truth now?"
