Xu You left Yuan Shao's residence and returned to his tent in the military camp.
Whether it was Ju Shou, Shen Pei, or even Zhang He, Gao Lan, all the civil and military officers lived in the camp. Only Yuan Shao and Yuan Shang, father and son, lived alone in the house, enjoying a good life without wind or rain.
Xu You sat in the tent, lost in thought.
Yuan Shao blatantly favored the judge, and even picked up wine glasses and flasks to hit him. If his clothes are wet, he can change them. The pain in his forehead will recover quickly. However, he was wantonly humiliated by Yuan Shao and lost face. This is irreparable.
.
Xu You and Yuan Shao have been friends for many years.
He worked for Yuan Shao, not only as a subordinate, but also as a confidant. For this reason, Lu Xuan suppressed Cao Cao and killed Yuan Tan. Wu had the potential to dominate the world, and Xu You did not betray him.
Xu You thought about Lu Xuan, his eyes were deep and he had some thoughts in his heart.
He has no connection with Lu Xuan, but his son works under Lu Xuan. Even though he is just an ordinary assistant, it is enough to become a bond between him and Lu Xuan.
The king chooses his ministers, and the ministers choose their king.
It was Yuan Shao's fault that he changed his family. It's no wonder he changed his family.
"Commander Xu, Third Young Master Yuan Shang would like to see you."
When Xu You was gradually making up his mind, a soldier came in and bowed: "The Third Young Master said that I have something important to discuss with you."
Xu You ordered: "Please come in."
The soldiers went to deliver the order. After a while, Yuan Shang strode into the camp. Corporal Li Xian said: "Mr. Xu!"
Xu You stood up and said, "Third Young Master."
His attitude was very casual and there was no intimacy with him. After all, he was not even afraid of Yuan Shao, let alone Yuan Shang. Xu You always looked above others and only recognized people who were better than him.
He looked down on him and was always unwilling to pay attention to him. Yuan Shang happened to be a person of average ability, and Yuan Shang was also reckless and unintelligent. Xu You disliked Yuan Shang even more.
Yuan Shang noticed Xu You's posture and felt a little cold in his heart.
Xu You is too proud.
Fortunately, this time Xu You's son was arrested and Xu You was hit, so he had the opportunity to recruit Xu You.
Yuan Shang walked up, lifted up his robe, sat down, and said in a leisurely manner: "Mr. Xu, you and my father were too reckless today. My father was defeated by Tian Chou, and he lost Yan Liang and Wen Chou, as well as his troops and generals. I feel very sad."
. Instead of comforting me, you bothered my father. Tell me, isn’t this asking for trouble?”
Xu You's face turned cold and he said mockingly: "If the Third Young Master is here to make some sarcastic remarks, you can leave."
Yuan Shang shook his head and said: "If I just wanted to say a few sarcastic words and show off for a while, I would have already added insult to injury in front of my father. Why come now? I come here with sincerity."
Xu You stared at Yuan Shang.
He found that Yuan Shang spoke in a condescending manner, which seemed to suggest charity.
Xu You thought about it for a while, and suddenly understood, and said in a deep voice: "If the third young master thinks that after I was dealt with by the king, he came to comfort me with a few words, so that I can be grateful and bow to you, then you are wrong.
.What happened today is that the king went too far."
Yuan Shang said solemnly: "It is said that accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. Mr. Xu is by his father's side, that's how it is. Mr. Xu is a wise man, doesn't he know that thunder, rain and dew are all signs of your kindness?"
Xu You felt more and more disgusted.
Accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger?
He is just a subordinate of Yuan Shao, not a slave. He is an independent person with his own ideas. Why should he accompany you like a tiger?
Yuan Shang shook his sleeves and continued: "Mr. Xu's son was captured and imprisoned by the trial team. In fact, in my opinion, it is not a big deal. This matter is big or small."
Xu You had already guessed Yuan Shang's thoughts and did not give in. He said coldly: "Third Young Master, speak directly if you have something to say. There is no need to beat around the bush."
Yuan Shang's patience gradually wore away.
Xu You's attitude was very bad. If Xu You didn't have great influence in Jizhou and had the right to speak around Yuan Shao, Yuan Shang would never talk to Xu You.
This person doesn't know how to praise.
Yuan Shang stopped beating around the bush and went straight to the point: "If Mr. Xu wants to rescue your son, he must be judged and approved. The judge is the Shangshu Order of the Jin State. If he insists on dealing with it, beheading is the easiest way, and it will definitely affect the Xu family."
"As I said just now, things can be big or small."
"The reason why I say it's a big deal is because Shen Pei insists on setting an example and wants to deal with your son."
"It's a trivial matter. As long as the matchmaker says a word, the Xu family can be released. After all, the person who died is just an ordinary businessman and a pariah. There is nothing to make a fuss about."
Yuan Shang's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he said loudly: "It just so happens that I can let the judge handle this matter."
Shen Pei is Yuan Shao's confidant and also supports Yuan Shang.
It was precisely because of this that Yuan Shang dared to take this opportunity to recruit Xu You.
Xu You looked at Yuan Shang's proud look and said forcefully: "Shen Pei insists on killing members of my Xu family. I'll let him kill me. Let's see if he dares? If he kills my Xu You's son, he will die without end. Third Young Master's
I appreciate your kindness, please come back."
Yuan Shang's expression froze.
It was actually rejected.
Yuan Shang lost face and looked in disbelief, asking: "Xu You, are you really not afraid? As long as you work for me, I will immediately send a message to Shen Pei and ask him to let your son go. No.
Let’s pursue the Xu family’s affairs again.”
"no way!"
Xu You answered decisively.
He looked cold and solemn and said loudly: "I, Xu You, have never been weak to others in my life, let alone asked for help. I want to see if the judge dares to kill my Xu You's son? Does he dare to kill my Xu family's son?"
people."
He has always been strong and wanted to save face, and even if he had to bow his head to someone like Yuan Shang and reconcile with Shen Pei, he would not want to kill him.
Xu You said forcefully: "Third Young Master, please!"
Yuan Shang was constantly rejected by Xu You, and became completely angry. He said coldly: "Xu You, I appreciate you, give you face, and give you opportunities. It's shameless for you to give face. I want to take a look at your Xu You's bones."
How hard are you? How hard are the bones of your Xu family? I'm waiting for you, waiting for you to kneel in front of me and beg for mercy."
After finishing speaking, Yuan Shang strode away.
But the look in Xu You's eyes at the end showed a hint of hatred. Xu You was not of use to him, so he tried his best to deal with the Xu family members and let Xu You know the price of rejecting him.
Xu You looked at Yuan Shang leaving, thinking about Yuan Shao's humiliation, Yuan Shang's threats and self-righteousness, and smiled coldly.
At this moment, he had no hesitation.
Xu You took out the paper and pen, quickly wrote a letter, and sealed it. He called his confidants, handed the letter over, and solemnly said: "Take the letter and quietly leave the city and go to the Youzhou military camp outside the city.
I met Tian Chou and personally delivered the letter."
