Chapter 196: The Eve of Guandu (1) (Thanks to [Guanyunren]
Ju Shou and Tian Feng tried to stop Yuan Shao from sending troops, but because of their negligence, Guo Tu and others took advantage of the situation and were imprisoned.
Not only that, Guo Tu also said to Yuan Shao: "Lord, why does Jushou dare to roar in the hall so many times? My subordinates think that it is precisely because Jushou oversees the three armies. He has too much military power, too high prestige, and is difficult to control, so he feels that you don't want to
No matter how you dare to do anything to him, you will be able to feel confident and commit the following crimes many times!"
When Yuan Shao heard this, he immediately felt that what Guo Tu said was very reasonable, so he replied: "You are right, the power to oversee the three armies is indeed too great."
After thinking for a moment, Yuan Shao immediately ordered: "Demolish the three military supervisors and create three governors. Ju Shou will still lead one army, Guo Tu, and Chunyu Qiong will each lead an army!"
"Ah?!" Guo Tu didn't expect that he would get unexpected joy from his casual words. He immediately bowed his head and bowed, and he and Chunyu Qiong were extremely happy and grateful: "Thank you for your grace, Lord! We will do our best for you."
!”
Looking at Guo Tu and others who had won a great victory today, Xu You on the side suddenly let out a sigh.
In fact, his and Shen Pei's positions are relatively neutral, and when discussing matters, they focus more on the issue rather than the person.
Compared to Guo Tu, Feng Ji and others, Xu You and Shen Pei still recognized the talents of Ju Sue and Tian Feng more.
But what Shen Pei said today sent both Ju Shou and Tian Feng to prison, and also created a good opportunity for Guo Tu and others to criticize their political opponents...
Before the war started, his family had killed a supervisor and a counselor first. Xu You couldn't help but sigh for this.
The hall was very quiet. Although Xu You's sigh was small, it was still heard by everyone.
Yuan Shao's face darkened and he asked Xu You, "General Xu, do you have anything to say?"
Xu You glanced at Guo Tu, who was very proud and his face was glowing red, took a step forward, walked to the center of the hall, and said: "Back to my lord, my subordinates have no objection to your decision."
"Then why are you sighing?" Yuan Shao's tone revealed his displeasure. If Xu You dared to intercede on behalf of Tian Feng and Ju Sue, maybe the three of them would be able to join a table to fight the Landlord in prison today.
But Xu You is a tactful person, so he will naturally not touch Yuan Shao's bad luck at this time.
Xu You's mind was spinning, and then he shook his head pretending to be profound and replied: "My lord, this subordinate sighs because he thinks of your clan brother, Yuan Shu."
Yuan Shu is already pissed off, what else do you want him to do?
Yuan Shao was a little puzzled, so he asked: "Gao Dao has gone to confess to his ancestors, what is your purpose of mentioning him?"
"If Yuan Jiujiu was here, how could Cao Cao dare to look north?"
"That was Yuan Shu's own suicide. He brazenly proclaimed himself emperor despite the disapproval of the world. How could we help him? Besides, when the lord needed all his strength to deal with Gongsun Zan, how could he have the energy and manpower to help Yuan Shu?" Feng Ji defended Yuan Shao.
road.
"That's what Yuan Tu said. So You just lamented how cunning Cao Cao is."
But Yuan Shao didn't want Xu You to get away with it like this, so he asked: "Since you have such far-reaching thoughts, have you thought of any way to deal with Cao Cao?"
Great idea to ask!
Xu You straightened his back, confident, and said with a confident smile: "Back to my lord, I have been thinking about it a lot recently, and I have some ideas."
"Oh? Tell me!" Yuan Shao's curiosity was aroused.
However, Xu You suddenly showed some hesitation and asked: "My lord, I have a question. I don't know whether to ask it or not..."
"Mother-in-law and mother-in-law are not your style. If you want to ask anything, just ask directly!"
Xu You nodded, calmed down his emotions, and then asked: "May I ask my lord, are you secretly instigating Chief Geng Bao to find a basis for your name...?"
"Wow!" What is it called? Of course it is called emperor!
Xu You's words caused an uproar in the entire meeting hall. Gu E
Yuan Shao's face changed, from white to red, and then quickly from red to green, the change was as fast as a revolving lantern.
"Where did you hear the rumor?" Yuan Shao asked through gritted teeth.
Xu You was neither humble nor arrogant, and continued: "Yuan Shu once wrote you a letter, saying that he would give up his position as emperor to you... It is impossible to say that he also sent the jade seal to your hands..."
Xu You revealed the deepest secret in Yuan Shao's heart, and he was so shocked that his hands and feet were trembling.
But Yuan Shao quickly calmed down. After all, he is the lord, Yuan Shao who controls three and a half states!
"Xu You, if you can't explain your words and deeds today, don't blame me, Yuan Benchu, for punishing you for your monstrous words and deceiving the public, and then beheading you!"
Xu You dared to say it, and naturally he had already thought of his next words.
He was not afraid of Yuan Shao's threat at all. He handed over his hand again and replied calmly: "My subordinate's words are to remind my lord. Where do you think my subordinate got this news?"
When Yuan Shao and the civil and military officials in the hall heard this, they immediately became quiet and waited for Xu You's next explanation.
They knew that since Xu You dared to say these words, he must have his own intentions.
Just listen to Xu You continue to say: "A few days ago, my subordinates were traveling and accidentally heard some rumors from the merchants who were passing by.
Some people say that you, my lord, ordered Geng Bao to find evidence that you can become a xx; some people say that Yuan Shu wrote to you and handed you the imperial seal... I don’t know whether it is true or not, but I know that these rumors are harmful. Very big!"
It turned out to be a rumor... Yuan Shao gradually felt relieved.
But then I thought about it, why are the contents of these rumors so accurate?
"Someone is secretly spreading false news in an attempt to attack the lord's reputation!" Xu You saw that Yuan Shao was still a little confused, so he simply said something to wake him up.
Yuan Shaoru was enlightened and his mind suddenly became clear. He suddenly stood up and shouted out a name angrily: "Cao A'hao?!"
"That's right!" Xu You looked at Yuan Shao's slender figure and seemed to see the wise and powerful Yuan Benchu again.
"The time when Yuan Shu became emperor was quite strange.
The year before last, Sun Ce was assassinated and died, and civil strife broke out in Jiangdong.
Recently, there was a sudden riot in Hanoi County, which gave Cao Cao the opportunity to quickly send troops...
My subordinates have studied it carefully recently and found out that Cao Cao is actually hidden in it!"
Yuan Shao narrowed his eyes slightly and asked: "You mean, they were all secretly plotted by Cao Ah Ma?"
"Yes, my lord!" Xu You said with a somewhat excited tone: "Do you still remember?
There was a time when spies were very active in Jizhou.
My subordinates have had some doubts recently, so they went to the prison to interrogate a few details a few days ago.
Finally, my subordinates learned from them that it turns out that Cao Cao has an organization that specializes in doing things in the territories of other princes, and it seems that its name is Shadow?"
Yuan Shao suddenly realized that his anger towards Xu You had completely dissipated at this moment.
After Yuan Shao sat down again, after a while, Hou suddenly pointed at Xu You and said to the civil and military officials: "Take a good look at Xu You and Xu Zijiang, these are the real people who do practical things!"
