Chapter 97 Old City! Wuchao! (on shelves tomorrow)
Cao Cao ran away, and so did Xu Chu.
Xu Chu ran away, and all the generals in the camp also ran out.
After a while, the camp that was bustling just now suddenly became deserted, with only He Yan, Guo Jia, Xun You and other people there.
Guo Jia had not yet recovered from the shock. After a long time, he suddenly woke up and looked at He Yan like a monster: "Can you guess this?"
"It's not a guess, it's just an inference based on the development of things."
"Jushou Guotu and his gang fight so fiercely, sooner or later someone will jump out, but it's actually quite surprising that Xu You jumps out."
If we don’t deduce the process from the results, Xu You’s rebound is really beyond the expectations of the world.
After all, it is the Hebei people who are wronged everywhere. Even if they rebel, it should be the local natives in Hebei who do so.
Chen Gong, Zhang Miao to Cao Cao, Cao Bao to Liu Bei, Ren Qi to Liu Yan, etc. are all more rebellious than this.
Yuan Shao must have thought so too, so he was always on guard against the Hebei faction, not giving them any chance to cause trouble in order to be safe.
Unexpectedly, the bullied Hebei faction did not rebel, but Xu You, an outsider, rebelled... I can only say that things are really unpredictable.
He Yan stretched, stood up, and planned to leave.
Guo Jia saw this and asked, "Why are you going?"
"Go back to sleep."
Guo Jia:……
"You are really big-hearted. Don't you want to hear what good news Xu You brings?"
"Well, I don't want to."
…
He Yan didn't think about it, but Guo Jia did.
Stepping forward to hold He Yan, Guo Jia grabbed He Yan's sleeves and forcibly dragged him towards the gate of Cao Ying.
He Yan was dragged by Guo Jia. No matter how reluctant he was, he had no choice but to yawn behind and go eat the melon.
No surprises.
Boss Cao and Xu Youna are both drama queens among drama queens.
Boss Cao knew that Xu You loved face, so he not only stepped in to greet him, but also came forward with his subordinates Wenwu, giving Xu You enough respect and face.
Xu You knew that Boss Cao was eager to defeat Yuan, and his words almost all contained the arrogance of "lick me! If you lick me well, I will give it to you."
The two of them were facing each other at the gate of Cao's camp despite the cold wind and waves of business. When Xu You's thin body could hardly bear it, Cao Cao "suddenly realized" and welcomed Xu You into the warm tent.
Inside the tent and outside are different.
Outside, everyone was gathered together in darkness to give Xu You face.
Inside, the two were about to talk about something. Except for Cao Cao and Xu You, the others were all Cao Cao's confidants, such as Guo Jia, Xun You, Dong Zhao... and He Yan, who was forced to become Guo Jia's pendant.
Xu You sat under Cao Cao, closer to Cao Cao than the others. At this time, his eyes even had a faint look at them, as he acted as the master and observed the counselors under Cao Cao.
Look at Xun You, he looks like a piece of wood! It’s not worth mentioning!
Look at Jia Xu, he looks like a coward! It’s not fair!
Look at Guo Jia, he looks like a fool! It’s not worth mentioning!
Look at Dong Zhao, he looks like trash! It’s not worth mentioning!
Look at He Yan... he's nothing but handsome! He's worthless!
…
Xu You suddenly felt relieved!
Also, if there was any great talent in Cao Cao's camp, how could Yuan Shao suppress him? How could Cao Cao have been so miserable in the first half of his life?
Now that I have come to Cao Ying, wouldn't I immediately become Cao Cao's darling, holding it in my hand for fear of breaking, holding it in my mouth for fear of melting?
Cao Cao was also very polite. He didn't put on any airs of being "Sikong" at all. Instead, he treated Xu You as an equal as he treated a friend. He even personally filled the soup pot and let Xu You drink from it respectfully.
"Aha, you're getting better and better now! There isn't even any wine in this huge military camp?"
Xu You was still not satisfied. He saw that Cao Cao was not pouring wine for him, but instead he was making a joke.
"Oh, Ziyuan, to be honest, my life has been really miserable these days. I haven't even had a sip of wine!"
On the surface, Cao Cao was complaining to Xu You, but in reality he was glaring fiercely at He Yan. This glare made both He Yan and Guo Jia distracted, and they consciously turned their gazes elsewhere.
"never mind!"
Xu You laughed.
The more miserable Cao Cao is, the happier Xu You will be!
Otherwise, how to reflect his value?
Xu You did not mention what happened to him in Yuan's camp. Instead, he asked Cao Cao: "Ah! Yuan's army is strong, why should we treat it? How much food do we have now?"
Cao Cao braced himself and replied: "You can still live for one year!"
Xu You smiled and said nothing.
Cao Cao was under pressure and said again: "It can last half a year!"
Xu You shook his head as he thought to himself: "You don't want to break the Yuan family's evil with just one step? How can you say it is untrue!"
Cao Cao then sighed: "To be honest, Ziyuan, my army does not have enough food for a month!"
This statement naturally made Xu You chuckle, while He Yan looked at Cao Cao with disdain.
Although Cao Ying is facing difficulties, with Xia Houyuan transporting grain from Xuzhou, he can still hold on for at least two months! Saying one month is obviously confusing Xu You.
I have to say that Boss Cao really took control of his old friend Xu You!
When Xu You heard Cao Cao saying in great embarrassment that he didn't have enough food to support him for a month, he also showed an expression of "It's just as I expected."
"Aha, you are at your wits' end now. If nothing unexpected happens, you will definitely be defeated by Yuan Shao!"
After hearing this, Cao Cao's face turned a little darker, with "decadent" written all over his face.
Seeing Cao Cao like this, Xu You couldn't help but secretly rejoice.
Now Xu You has become a hero in his heart!
A hero who saved Cao Cao from fire and water!
By the way, he can also defeat Yuan Shao and prove to the world that he, Xu You, is still the same Xu You who stirred up troubles before!
Xu You nodded lightly and said: "The army is alone, there is no rescue, and the grain is exhausted. This is a critical day!"
Cao Cao closed his eyes: "What Ziyuan said is true! It's just that I don't have any good way to deal with Yuan Shao now."
At this time, Xu You finally came to his senses and remonstrated with Cao Cao: "Ah Hao, you and I are old friends! Now that you are in trouble, how can I have the nerve to stand by and watch?"
"Now the Yuan family has more than ten thousand carriages. In the old city, Wuchao, if we attack them with light troops and arrive unexpectedly and burn them to accumulate, Yuan family will be defeated in just three days."
After Xu You said this, everyone in the camp began to breathe faster!
Old city!
Wuchao!
This information is worth tens of thousands of dollars! No! This is simply priceless!
Cao Cao really had such a glimmer of hope!
"But~"
Xu You's heavy breathing caused everyone's attention to focus on him again, and Xu You seemed to enjoy this feeling very much. He paused for a long time before saying -
"Ah Man, you have some capable men. You killed Yan Liang and Wen Chou before, and later you killed Han Xun and Mayan. This time Yuan Shao forced Chunyu Qiong to issue a military order and asked him to guard Wuchao's food and grass."
"Let's go to Wuchao. I'm afraid you have to be prepared for a deadly battle!"
