The more Xu You thought about it, the more suspicious he became. Seeing that everyone in the hall had dispersed, he still lingered.
Seeing Xu You's appearance, Yan Liang expected that this wise and resourceful man was already suspicious of his various actions. Now, it was time to slowly show off his cards to him.
Yan Liang then asked: "Mr. Ziyuan, do you have anything else to say?"
"Actually, it's nothing..." Xu You coughed a few times, "Now that the general has won a big victory, why not take advantage of the victory to advance north and approach Xudu."
"Although we have won this battle, Cao Cao cannot be underestimated. Our soldiers are precious and I don't want to use them to confront Cao Cao head-on." Yan Liang said calmly.
When Xu You heard this, his expression changed.
You, Yan Liang, are Yuan Shao's generals, and your soldiers are also soldiers of the Yuan family, not Yan Liang's private soldiers. Why do you preserve your strength and not sacrifice your life for the Yuan family?
If Yan Liang said these words in front of Yuan Shao, it would be "treason".
"Yuan Gong ordered the general to come to Runan. He asked the general to copy the south of Xudu and cooperate with the main camp of Guandu at all costs. However, the general stopped because he was afraid of losing his soldiers. If this was spread to Yuan Gong, it seems that
Something isn’t quite right.”
Xu You did not dare to question Yan Liang directly and reminded him tactfully.
"Mr. Yuan is Gong Yuan, and I am me. Why should I sacrifice my soldiers for him?" Yan Liang asked with a sneer.
Xu You's expression changed immediately, and his eyebrows were filled with shock.
Yan Liang turned a blind eye to his shock and just sipped the warm wine calmly.
"General Ziyi, don't you want to... think... to rebel against Mr. Yuan?" Xu You stuttered for a long time, and then he tremblingly squeezed out the word "rebellion" through his teeth.
Yan Liang's expression became solemn, and there was a coldness in his blade-like eyes.
Snapped!
Yan Liang put the wine glass on the table, and Xu You shook it slightly.
"In the battle of White Horse, I was almost killed by Guan Yu's sword. I was surrounded by dangers before I reversed the situation and won the victory for the Yuan family. However, Yuan Shao listened to Guo Tu's slander and wanted to question me. Such an undefeated loyalty
The treacherous lord, let me ask you, sir, is he worthy of me, Yan Liang, continuing to work hard for him?"
Yan Liang's words were like iron, and they fell to the ground with a sound, expressing the indignation in his heart.
Yan Liang became more and more disrespectful towards Yuan Shao, and actually openly rebuked Yuan Shao as a "loyalty traitor who does not defend himself", which made Xu You frightened.
In addition to being horrified, Xu You also looked ashamed. After all, as a scholar of Ruying, he was in the same party as Guo Tu, who framed Yan Liang.
"Guo Gongze did a little too much about the white horse thing..."
"I won't talk about the injustice I have suffered. Sir, you have followed Yuan Shao for many years, and you have worked hard and made great achievements. However, Yuan Shao listened to Feng Ji's instigation and put the responsibility for falling into Cao Cao's scheme on your intelligence mistakes. Such an approach, sir?
Don’t you feel chilled?”
Yan Liang was "provoking" the relationship between Xu You and Yuan Shao, and he sounded aggrieved for Xu You.
While speaking, he kept paying attention to Xu You's expression, and he could see some resonance in Xu You's shocked eyes.
Yan Liang knew that his words touched Xu You's heart.
Xu You's expression dimmed and he remained silent, seemingly unable to refute.
In the past ten years, from the execution of eunuchs to the war against Dong, to the annexation of Jizhou and the sweep of Hebei, Xu You felt that he had made a great contribution to Yuan Shao by traveling east and west.
But over the years, Yuan Shao has become more and more suspicious, his temper has become stronger, and his trust in him has become weaker and weaker.
All the changes in treatment, right up to the "framing" incident in Liyang's tent, how could Xu You not feel chilled.
"Yuan Benchu was lenient on the outside and taboo on the inside, and his subordinates fought endlessly, but he also favored his youngest son. In this way, sooner or later, there would be internal divisions. Yan was so stupid that he didn't want to be a victim of the Yuan family's internal strife. Is it possible that based on Mr. Ziyuan's foresight?
, but are you willing to die for the Yuan family?"
Yan Liang complimented Xu You and took the opportunity to reveal the hidden dangers of the Yuan family.
Xu You's expression suddenly changed. It was like a thunderbolt from the blue, and his mind was empty for a moment.
"Yes, the Yuan family is full of hidden dangers. Even if they defeat Cao Cao, they will fall into civil strife sooner or later. Do I really want to die for the Yuan family?"
In Xu You's mind, a voice kept questioning him.
In fact, with Xu You's knowledge, how could he not see what Yan Liang said, but he was in this whirlpool and often could not objectively look at the crisis he was in.
Not only Xu You, but also many civil servants and military generals of the Yuan family group.
Yan Liang, an outsider, could clearly see the Yuan family's crisis. His words today were just to wake Xu You up.
A sly smile flashed across his lips. Yan Liang moved his seat closer and whispered: "Mr. Ziyuan, you are a smart man. Instead of dying for the Yuan family, why don't you follow me and establish the Yuan family? You and I join hands, why worry about not being here?"
There is a lot of fighting in this troubled time."
After all the foreshadowing, Yan Liang finally broke through the window, opened the skylight and spoke frankly.
Xu You's body was shocked again. Although he had already guessed in his mind, he was still shocked when Yan Liang said it himself.
He raised his head, looked at Yan Liang's sly smile, and vaguely felt that he had been fooled by Yan Liang, and got on the pirate ship in a daze.
"General Ziyi is a god with his troops and has great plans. If he becomes a man of his own, he won't have to worry about establishing a foundation. But you still have family members in Hebei. If he betrays Duke Yuan like this, I'm afraid, ahem~~
"
Xu You smiled bitterly, with a bit of helplessness on his face.
His answer was also within Yan Liang's expectation.
No matter how dissatisfied Xu You was with Yuan Shao and worried about the future of the Yuan family, he was not as courageous as Xun Yu and could not bear to part with the wealth and status in front of him.
Yan Liang smiled and said calmly: "It seems that Mr. is also a family man, but according to Yan's plan, stay with your family in Yecheng first, I'm afraid trouble is not far away."
Xu You was shocked and asked anxiously: "Why did the general say this?"
"As far as I know, Shen Pei, who stayed in Yecheng, had a personal grudge with Mr. He. He is now far away in Runan. I expect that Shen Pei will use the name of his family's illegality to frame and attack Mr."
Yan Liang confidently made some guesses. On the one hand, he showed his foresight to Xu You, and on the other hand, he wanted to use this to make Xu You fall in love with Yuan Shao.
In the novel and official history, the Shenpei group of Hebei scholars who stayed in Yecheng imprisoned Xu You's nephew in the name of illegally amassing money. Xu You was so angry that he defected to Cao Cao and planned to burn Wuchao.
.
Now that the general historical trend has not changed, Yan Liang is certain that what he just said will definitely happen.
Xu You's originally surprised expression became much warmer, he stroked his beard and said with a smile: "General Ziyi, your knowledge really impressed Xu, but you can even guess the affairs of my family members in Ye City thousands of miles away, but it's a little bit...
It’s so amazing.”
I knew you wouldn't believe it.
If Yan Liang didn't rely on the "prophet" plug-in, he probably wouldn't have the foresight he just mentioned.
At that moment, Yan Liang laughed and said, "Since Mr. Ziyuan doesn't believe it, do you dare to make a bet with Yan?"
"What kind of gambling method?" Xu You looked suspicious.
"Just bet on the prediction I just made. If I am right, then sir, you will have to stay and help me achieve greatness." Yan Liang said.
Hearing the word "hegemony", Xu You's spirits perked up slightly.
After a pause, he asked: "What if, General, your prediction is wrong?"
"Sir, whether you want to stay or go, it's up to you." Yan Liang waved his hand and answered simply.
Xu You fell silent.
When Yan Liang asked him to join the gang, he was really worried that if he didn't agree, Yan Liang would forcibly hold him captive. If that was the case, he really didn't know how to escape.
The gamble set up by Yan Liang now gave Xu You a chance.
But what if Yan Liang really got it right?
"Why, Mr. Xu is so hesitant, could it be that he doesn't dare to make this bet?" Yan Liang was afraid that he would not agree, so he used words to provoke him.
Xu You's expression immediately became excited, and he thought to himself: This Yan Ziyi is rough and subtle, and he does have some strategies, but he is a martial artist after all. How can he really foresee things like a god? I don't believe that his foresight is comparable to
Pass me!
After thinking about it for a while, Xu You became more arrogant and proud, and said boldly: "If there is anything you dare not do, Xu will make this bet with you, general."
Yan Liang said happily: "Mr. Xu is indeed brave, then let's high-five and swear an oath of alliance."
"The oath is an oath." Xu You was also unambiguous and waved his hands.
Snapped!
The iron palm and the white and tender palm struck hard.
"Xu Ziyuan, you still can't escape from my 'Five Finger Mountain'..." An imperceptible smile flashed across Yan Liang's lips.
