Chapter 1223 : Chapter 609: Xun Yu is on the move (2)
"Promise. ()" The retainer agreed and went to the small room behind the study to avoid Xiahou Dun.
Not long after, Xiahou Dun walked in. As soon as he came in, Xiahou Dun said bluntly: "Sir, there has been no news from Meng De these days. Is there something wrong?"
"I send people to Hebei every day, but there is no news, which is really puzzling." Xun Yu felt relieved after hearing this, thinking that Xiahou Dun was suspicious.
Xun Yu had his own way of dealing with this matter. He did send people out every day, as the soldiers guarding the city can testify. But the problem was that the people he sent out were all his retainers. After they went out one by one, they would not go there.
I went to Hebei to report the news.
Disappeared out of thin air, naturally Cao Cao will not have any response.[
"Could it be that Duke Ming was entangled by Yuan Shao?" After a pause, Xun Yu said with a look of confusion on his face.
"That must be the case, that fellow Yuan Shao." Upon hearing this, Xiahou Dun felt that there was no other answer except this, and said bitterly.
"The general must believe that Duke Ming can get rid of Yuan Shao and return to the army sooner or later. What the general has to do now is to go outside the city to guard the city."
Xun Yu warned.
At this moment, someone outside the door said anxiously: "Sir, General Xiahou's personal soldiers have come to report that Lu Su's offensive has become much fiercer. The soldiers asked General Xiahou to go back and supervise the city."
"That Lu Su is serious, alas." Xiahou Dun had a look of hatred on his face when he heard this, raised his fist and said to Xun Yu, "I'll leave everything to you, sir. I'll go and defend the city for the time being."
"General, go ahead." Xun Yu nodded and said.
When Xiahou Dun heard this, he stamped his feet and left quickly.
Soon after, the retainer who had just escaped appeared in front of Xun Yu again.
"Wait a moment." Xun Yu said.
"Promise." The retainer promised.
Immediately, the two began to wait. After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, Xun Yu raised his head and said to his retainers: "I will go to the warehouse to get some weapons. Later, you will pass my order to the ministers.
The guards should be withdrawn. The reason is to gather at Shangshu Ling's Mansion and provide concentrated support to the south of the city. In addition, we should take away all the family members of this old man and Xun You."
"promise."
The retainer promised.
"It's about to begin, Xiahou Dun, you can't wait until Cao Cao comes back."
slave.
He sat in a carriage and headed to the treasury.
Because Xun Yu was Cao Cao's confidant and had many retainers and slaves. This group of people gathered together, with more than fifty people in total, and they were very powerful.
The treasury is a warehouse where weapons, bows, arrows, leather armor, armor and other war materials are stored. Xudu is Cao Cao's lair at the feet of the emperor.
Although most of these things were consumed after more than a year of the Battle of Guandu, there are still many things left.[
Xun Yu needed these things to arm the domestic slaves of various ministers, the eunuchs in the palace, and the maids. He would stand up to defend the emperor and intimidate Cao's soldiers.
Make Xiahou Dun unable to hold on, thus achieving the goal of obtaining Xudu.
"Greetings to Lord Shangshu Ling."
Now is the time of war, and the treasury is very heavily guarded, but this naturally cannot stop Xun Yu, the minister appointed by Cao Cao himself.
After Xun Yu arrived, the guards in front of the treasury immediately stepped forward to greet him.
"Bring me a batch of weapons, bows, arrows, leather armor, and armor. I can use them." Xun Yu said directly.
"Promise." The guard had no doubts and agreed happily.
Soon after, several carts of military baggage were loaded onto carriages and taken away by Xun Yu.
