Guandu, inside the main tent of the Chinese army in Cao Cao's camp.

Cao Cao sat high on the commander's seat, and below him were Xun You, Guo Jia, Cheng Yu, Chen Qun and others. Cheng Yu stood in the middle and reported to Cao Cao what happened in Runan.

"Then Liu Ye is really a genius. He pointed out Yuan Shao's weaknesses in a straight-forward manner." After listening, Guo Jia said with a smile.

At the beginning, Xun Yu and Guo Jia also defected to Yuan Shao first. However, seeing that Yuan Shao's laws were incomplete and nepotistic, they believed that Yuan Shao would be defeated, so they went south to defect to Cao Cao.

Now when I heard Cheng Yu mention that Liu Ye had the same idea, I suddenly felt like a close friend.

"However, although this person is a genius, his courage is somewhat lacking, and his loyalty needs to be considered." Cheng Yu said.

Although Liu Ye knew that Yuan Shao was incompetent, he still hesitated and did not plan to defect to Cao Cao first. Instead, he planned to break away from the northern war and sit on the sidelines as an insignificant spectator.

The one who waited for the two heroes to fight for hegemony was over before joining the victorious one. In the eyes of the upright Cheng Yu, this was a bit lacking in courage.

"There is nothing we can do about it. After all, Yuan Shao seems to be too powerful, and we can't force others to do anything." Chen Qun sighed and said more understandingly.

It has to be said that Liu Ye's decision was very correct. He judged with his wisdom that Yuan Shao would be defeated and Cao Cao would be prosperous, and he pointed out the details.

Yuan Shaokuan, and Cao Caoyan.

This conclusion is highlighted by the use of heavy scriptures in troubled times, which is consistent with the views of many advisers under Cao Cao.

Although the advisers under Cao Cao's account said a few words, either despising Liu Ye's lack of courage, or saying something else, they did not deny Liu Ye's sincerity and the environment Liu Ye was in. This is probably the best thing.

way.

Now that we can see the reason why Cao Cao must win, it goes without saying that Liu Ye's sincerity is mostly true.

"How do you plan to deal with this Liu Ye, my lord?" Now that he had come to a conclusion, Cheng Yu finally looked up at Cao Cao and asked softly.

"Whether he is sincere or not, he is still a wallflower after all. We cannot trust him easily for the time being." Cao Cao did not answer directly, but said to Cheng Yu.

Immediately, Cao Cao raised his head and said: "The strength of Jiangdong Liu Xun has skyrocketed in unifying Jiangdong in such a short period of time. It seems that Liu Xun is by no means as simple as he seemed in the past. If I say that this person does not have the ambition to dominate the world, I am wrong.

Absolutely don't believe it.

I was very worried about this person's ambition before, but now Liu Ye has a grudge with Liu Xun, which is undoubtedly a good thing in our opinion. Some of Liu Ye's Runan County is blocking the front, so we have more enemies invisibly.

Got a free watchdog.”

"My lord is right, but what should we do about Liu Ye's request?" Guo Jia couldn't help but asked curiously.

"Haha, first go to the emperor and make Liu Ye the governor of Runan. Give him an official position first. Then order the quartermaster to count out a larger batch of supplies and escort them to Runan. Give the supplies to Liu Ye and let him take good care of you.

South, resist Liu Xun's attack from Jiangdong." Cao Cao couldn't help laughing and said

"With Liu Xun's restraint, Liu Ye must not dare to send troops to Xu Du rashly. So in any case, as long as Liu Ye does not dare to send troops to Xu Du, we can continue to mobilize Xu Du's troops. According to this, send some materials

It's not a loss for us to give it to them. When we defeat Yuan Shao later, we can kill him like an ant by turning around. By then, he will definitely regret today's decision."

"Promise." Chen Qun, who was in charge of the military's clerical correspondence, remembered Cao Cao's order in his heart, agreed, and went down to do the work.

Cao Cao was very generous with the supplies he gave Liu Ye. However, after issuing the order, before seeing the expected results, Cao Cao still felt a heartache, as heartache as blood.

"Our material capital is much less than that of Yuan Shao. This time we gave a large amount to Liu Ye. I hope there will be no adverse effects." Cao Cao sighed and said.

"My lord, please be at ease. As long as Liu Ye can stay in Runan without causing trouble, we will be able to free up some troops and horses to support the north. The number of troops on the front line will naturally increase, and the chance of winning will naturally be greater. On the contrary, Yuan Shao lost Runan.

We have lost an important stronghold to attack us, and our forces are greatly weakened. It really makes people feel a lot more relaxed." Guo Jia persuaded with a smile.

"Haha, Fengxiao is right. Generally speaking, we do not suffer a loss. What's more, increasing Liu Ye's strength can also help us guard against the evil wolf Jiangdong Liu Xun. Let's just treat Liu Ye as one of our own.

A guard dog, if you want it to work well and guard the house, you always have to throw some bones to it. When we defeat the powerful enemy one day, we will stew it and make soup and eat meat." Cheng Yu ordered.

He nodded and said coldly.

"Yes." Cao Cao felt much better when he heard this, and a pleased smile appeared on his face, and he nodded. "Well, yes, just treat him like a watchdog."

………………………..

To the north of Guandu is Yuan Shao's camp.

Shen Pei also returned to Guandu after a long journey. However, because Shen Pei's identity was not visible to the public, he walked more cautiously in Cao Cao's territory.

Therefore, Cheng Yu arrived at Guandu one step later than Cheng Yu who left Runan last.

After Yuan Shao learned that Shen Pei had returned, he immediately summoned his important advisers, Ju Sue, Shen Pei, Xu You and others to welcome Shen Pei.

Soon, the group returned to the Chinese army's tent.

After they sat down with each other, Yuan Shao couldn't wait to ask: "Zheng Nan, what's going on? Does Liu Ye want to join him?" There is no need to say more about what it means to Yuan Shao with or without Runan.

It's understandable that Yuan Shao couldn't wait.

"Then Liu Ye is quite sensible, but he is also naughty. I'm afraid he wants to sit in Runan and watch the two heroes compete for hegemony." Shen Pei raised his fist and said.

Under the influence of Liu Ye, Shen Pei thought that Liu Ye just wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers and tigers.

Immediately afterwards, Shen Pei told Yuan Shao the process of his conversation with Liu Ye.

"You thief, how dare you threaten me?" Yuan Shao couldn't help but said angrily after hearing this.

Just like what the judge was worried about, Yuan Shao didn't care too much about the baggage. After all, Hebei had a vast territory and a large number of people, so the baggage would be a lot, but the war horses were different.

Although Yuan Shao also had war horses, they were not many after all. At this time, when he was against Cao Cao, the role of war horses was needless to say. Now, Liu Ye actually dared to threaten Yuan Shao, saying that if he did not give him war horses, Runan would defect to Cao Cao.

But just then someone spoke up

"Lord, please calm down. We exchanged war horses and baggage for Liu Ye's support. In fact, we are not at a loss. If Liu Ye didn't completely turn to Cao Cao, even if he wanted to wait and see, Cao Cao would not dare to completely drain Xu Du's troops. After all, people's hearts are not strong.

Test, who can guarantee that Liu Ye will not suddenly

He went crazy and attacked Xudu. We gave Liu Ye war horses. If Liu Ye is willing, he can kill Xudu with a single charge. Then it will be Cao Cao who should worry. This can be regarded as indirectly containing Cao Cao.

A large number of troops." Feng Ji said confidently.

Jushu on the side couldn't help but frowned when he heard this, and said worriedly: "My lord, people's hearts are unpredictable. If Liu Ye surrenders to Cao Cao with the materials we gave him, wouldn't we be indirectly supporting Cao Cao?

Even if he doesn't surrender to Cao Cao, what if he rushes out to reap the benefits when we both lose? According to me, you can give him other supplies, but war horses are definitely not good. If he really wants to surrender to Cao Cao, we will give him anything.

It’s no use.”

Xu You said: "You just take it for granted. I think it should be given to Liu Ye. With the war horse, Cao Cao will be more wary of him. In this way, Xu Du will have to keep more troops. After all, Liu Ye is too far away from us. If

If we don't win people's hearts with supplies, we will fall completely to Cao Cao like Zhang Xiu did, and then we will be under greater pressure."

Guo Tuye said angrily: "Lord, I think Jushou is deliberately misleading you, and this is with bad intentions. This matter is so obvious, Liu Ye just wants to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, but he won't mind if his conditions are not met.

Those who lean towards Cao Cao should be given war horses. How could Ju Shou not understand such a simple truth?"

As everyone was talking to each other, the scene became a mess, and Yuan Shao couldn't help but feel dizzy. At that moment, Yuan Shao shouted: "Okay, this is the Chinese army's tent. It's so noisy, how unbecoming it is."

"I am aware of my guilt."

Shen Pei, Guo Tu, Xu You, Feng Ji and other four people immediately saluted and confessed their crimes very quickly.

Jushuo was also shocked. He calmed down a little, clasped his fists and said, "Shuo was confused for a moment, please forgive me, my lord."

But it was already too late at this time. Yuan Shao just heard the opinions of Shen Pei, Xu You, Guo Tu, Feng Ji and others. The four to one ratio gradually shook his determination. He also thought that Liu Ye would be exchanged for war horses.

The ruler of Runan supported it, and this deal was a very good deal.

As for what Jushou said, Yuan Shao just pretended not to hear it. After all, it was so obvious that they were four to one. Could it be said that the combined IQ of these four people was not as good as that of Jushou? What a joke.

Having made up his mind, Yuan Shao immediately ordered: "I have made up my mind. You should immediately equip Liu Ye with the baggage and equipment he needs, and then transfer some war horses to Yecheng and go south together to hand them over to Liu Ye."

"Promise." Shen Pei, Xu You, Guo Tu, Feng Ji and others immediately agreed.

"Lord." Jushou felt his heart grow cold and raised his fist unwillingly and said.

"I have made up my mind, no need to say more." Yuan Shao looked cold and said impatiently.

"Alas." Xu You and others secretly sneered at the judge, but Ju Shou sighed loudly. It's the villain's misfortune that brings misfortune to the lord.

But no matter what, Jushou did not stop Yuan Shao from making this foolish move. After all, strictly speaking, this did not affect the direction of the war at all, it was just sending some war horses. Therefore, Jushou could suppress his temper at this time, and if it could affect the battlefield

Whether he wins or loses, Ju Shou will definitely have to die to remonstrate with him.
