"Asshole! Trash!" In the Yangquan City Guards' Mansion, Yuan Shao pointed at the generals in the hall with a ferocious face and yelled curses. It has been three days. Zhang Fei and Ma Chao have been harassing them day and night every day, leaving Yuan Shao awake for three days.
Have a good sleep! Ordinary people can’t sleep well and are angry when getting out of bed, let alone Yuan Shao, a son of a noble family? Poor Yan Liang and Wen Chou became the punching bag because they failed to catch up with Zhang Fei and Ma Chao!
"My lord, this matter is not the fault of the two generals!" Seeing that Yan Liang and Wen Chou were being scolded so much that they could not lift their heads, Gao Lan quickly said: "Both Zhang Fei and Ma Chao are cavalry, and the two generals have a mixture of infantry and cavalry. If the pursuit is too intense,
, it would be even worse if we were ambushed by the enemy!"
"Zhang Fei, Ma Chao has cavalry, but our army doesn't have any?" Yuan Shao snorted coldly: "I really don't know how to feed you, so why don't you gather your cavalry to pursue you?"
"Lord, according to my observation, Zhang Fei and Ma Chao have at least 30,000 cavalry under their command. Even if our army combines all the cavalry, it will only be 30,000 to 50,000. If we are ambushed, we will have no cavalry! At that time, there will be more cavalry.
Passive!" Gao Lan was Yuan Shao's only talented man with both civil and military talents. It's a pity that Yuan Shao didn't know how to use it, so he was ranked behind the two reckless men Yan Liang and Wen Chou!
"This won't work, that won't work either, what do you think we should do!" Yuan Shao was furious, and the anger caused by not sleeping well broke out again!
"Master, don't pay attention to him, let him make noise on his own. Seeing that the master has no reaction, Zhang Fei and Ma Chao will probably not continue to harass him!" Han Meng is also a reckless man. He answered self-righteously, but he didn't know that he had offended the military strategist.
Big taboo.
"Stupid!" Although Yuan Shao is a playboy, he is familiar with the art of war. He asked angrily: "Ignore him. If one of ten times he actually attacks, what should we do?"
"This..." Han Meng murmured and retreated. Yuan Shao didn't bother to say anything anymore. What he wanted was a way to deal with Zhang Fei and Ma Chao's harassment.
Of course, what Han Meng said is not unreasonable. Yuan Shao is in the city after all, and there are hundreds of thousands of troops surrounding him. Even if he really ignores Ma Chao and Zhang Fei, I believe Ma Chao and Zhang Fei can't attack the city with cavalry.
But this was Yuan Shao's first large-scale battle with Liu Zhang, and he didn't want to lose before they even fought.
"Lord, why don't you invite some gentlemen to come and discuss this?" Gao Lan was smarter, and he thought of the most practical way, which was to push the issue out.
"This... okay..." Yuan Shao rubbed his brows. He found that the four counselors under his command were getting more and more outrageous. They seemed to be incompatible with each other. He really didn't want to hear those four people quarreling. But when it came to it, there was only that.
Only four people can share his worries!
"Meet my lord!" Upon hearing Yuan Shao's call, Guo Tu and other five counselors immediately came to Yuan Shao's bedroom.
"Okay..." Yuan Shaoyi frowned and said straight to the point: "Zhang Fei and Ma Chao keep harassing me, what do you think?"
"This..." Except for Xu You, the four Guo Tu people immediately divided into two groups and started arguing again. At this time, Guo Tu had an idea and said: "My lord, why don't you ask Ziyuan?"
"Ziyuan..." After being reminded by Guo Tu, Yuan Shao and others immediately looked at Xu You, but Xu You was a little distressed. He had never wanted to participate in the dispute between Yuan Shao and his son, just because he didn't want to be on the wrong team. Guo Tu did this.
He was forced to express his position! But Yuan Shao was looking at him, even if he didn't want to say it, he couldn't.
Pretending to think, Xu You looked at Guo Tu with dissatisfaction in his eyes. Guo Tu didn't care about Xu You's gaze. He stretched out five fingers and told Xu You that as long as the matter was settled, he would give Xu You five thousand gold. Xu You shook his head.
If you want him to take refuge, how can five thousand gold be enough? Xu You stretched out two fingers, his thumb and index finger, which meant eight thousand gold!
If he didn't notice it the first time, how could he not see it the second time? Yuan Shao didn't understand the gestures of the two, but Feng Ji and Shen Pei did! Shen Pei was an upright man and disdained such tactics, so Feng Ji pulled Xu You and said,
Turning one hand back and forth means ten thousand gold!
Ten thousand gold is not a small amount. Xu You's eyes lit up, but Guo Tu next to him was anxious. Eight thousand gold was already the limit of what he could use. After all, the Guo family was not as powerful as the Feng family in Jizhou, and naturally they did not have as much money as the Feng family.
!Although Yuan Shang can afford to pay 10,000 gold, there is no chance for Guo Tu to discuss with Yuan Shang now!
"Zi Yuan..." Yuan Shao became impatient when Xu You remained silent for a long time.
"What Yuan Tu said is true!" For the sake of money, Xu You immediately turned to Feng Ji.
"Then do as Yuan Tu wants!" Yuan Shao immediately decided. Speaking of which, he is also a person who only values results and not the process.
"The main attack is Yingming!" Fengji won another round and challenged Guo Tu again. But Guo Tu was rarely angry, because this failure was not due to lack of ability but not enough money. Anyway, in the dispute between Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang, there was no
Before the result, the battle between Guo Tu and Feng Ji will not be over. There will be a chance to come back in the future!
"Okay! You go! I don't want to hear anyone making noise outside the city anymore!" Yuan Shao breathed a sigh of relief and issued an order to expel guests. Xu You and the other two slowly exited the hall.
"Yuan Tu! Don't forget the ten thousand gold!" After walking out of the prefect's mansion, Xu You pulled Feng Ji with a smile. This was his first time dealing with Feng Ji, so he was really worried!
"What ten thousand gold?" Feng Ji looked surprised. He was just forcing Xu You to express his position. In his opinion, as long as Xu You spoke for him, he would enter his camp and no more betrayal was allowed. Guo Tu was a despicable person.
Villain, Xu You didn't help him this time, why doesn't he hate Xu You to death? Who knows, thieves also have their own ways, and villains also have their own way of dealing with others.
"You... Feng Yuantu, do you really want to regret it?" Xu You looked at Feng Ji coldly. He was greedy for money, but he was also a villain!
Feng Ji was not prepared to give Xu You a penny from the beginning to the end. He chuckled and said: "Xu Ziyuan, you are as cunning as oil, why don't you get on my boat? This time you and Guo Tu are at odds with each other, so be obedient and be a rope with me."
Come on, grasshopper!"
"Feng Ji! Do you dare to plot against me?" Xu You's face became colder and colder.
"You have already boarded the ship, do you still want to get off?" Feng Ji patted Xu You on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Serve the Third Young Master well, and the Third Young Master will not treat you badly!"
"Feng Ji, you will regret it!" The deal between Xu You and Feng Ji was already shady. Seeing Feng Ji going back on his word, Xu You didn't make any big move, he just coldly said a harsh word and left.
Looking at Xu You's retreating figure, Feng Ji sneered and said, "Fool on the wall! Let's see how you pass this time!"
"Yuan Tu, you offended Guo Tu and Xu You, isn't that good?" Shen Pei asked with some worry: "The Third Young Master asked us to win over Xu You, but now you have offended him. If the Third Young Master knew
, will you blame me?"
"Zhengnan, don't worry! Xu You made it clear that he doesn't want to get involved in the fight between the eldest son and the third son. I'm just forcing him to express his position!" Feng Ji said with a smile: "You also know what kind of person Guo Tu is. This time Xu You didn't
Helping him is of course related to money. But with Guo Tu's villainous character, how can Xu You get better if he offends him? Xu You will have to join the Third Young Master sooner or later, just wait and see!"
"If that's the case, of course it's best!" Shen Pei sighed. Although he was a counselor, while making suggestions for Yuan Shao, he also had to compete with his own people. He was really helpless!
"Even if Xu You wants to betray you, I'm ready!" Feng Ji took out a stack of information and handed it to Shen Pei, and said with a smile: "Zhengnan, if Xu You dares to betray you, you can give these things to the lord. By then, Xu You will have to shed his skin even if he doesn't die!"
"This is..." Shen Pei did not take the information. He looked at Feng Ji with confusion on his face.
Feng Ji smiled and said: "Evidence of corruption between Xu You and his nephew! You are an upright person. Only if you hand it to the lord will he not be questioned by the lord! Of course, you have to find an appropriate time to kill with one strike. Otherwise, When my lord misses his old love, Xu You will be fine again!"
"That's...okay!" Shen Pei reluctantly took the information, and Feng Ji went back to their respective homes.
Xu You was tricked by Feng Ji. He returned to the house angrily, only to find the housekeeper of the Xu house standing at the door. Xu You was already furious, but when he saw the housekeeper standing at the door stupidly, he became even more angry. He cursed Said: "Why are you standing at the door? I paid for you to come here, not to let you guard the door! It would be better to buy a dog than you..."
The housekeeper was confused by Xu You's scolding. He said with a sad face: "Master, we have a visitor. I am here to welcome you!"
"Are you having a guest?" Xu You looked at the housekeeper coldly and said, "You didn't tell me earlier! Who is here?"
"Master Guo!" the housekeeper secretly cursed: "Didn't you give me a chance to say it?"
Of course, the housekeeper didn't dare to say it. Otherwise Xu You would kill him, and he would have no place to reason. He was a domestic slave, and everything belonged to Xu You, including his life!
"Why don't you hurry up and lead the way?" Seeing that the housekeeper seemed a little distracted, Xu You kicked him over, and the housekeeper quickly led Xu You to the hall.
"Ziyuan..." Guo Tu was sipping tea from a bowl. When he saw Xu You entering, he immediately stood up and saluted!
"Oh! Gongze's visit is really brilliant. What a neglect! I wonder why Gongze is here?" No matter how angry Xu You was in his heart, he couldn't show it in front of Guo Tu. He needed to be graceful.
"Of course it's a gift for Ziyuan!" Guo Tu said with a smile: "Five thousand gold, I have ordered someone to deliver it to your mansion in Yecheng..."
"How can this be done!" Xu You said with a smile: "You will not be rewarded for your merits, so please take it back, Gongze!"
"Ziyuan..." Guo Tu said with a smile: "The friendship between you and me is more than five thousand gold? Even ten thousand gold is not an exaggeration! Today at the lord's place, I wanted to force Ziyuan to express his position. It was my fault! The eldest son said Yes, Ziyuan is not willing to intervene in the fight between the young masters, and he will not force it. These five thousand gold are my apology to Ziyuan!"
"You are so polite, Mr. Ze!" Xu You sighed: "The eldest son has a masterful attitude. You are very grateful for his generosity and hope to have the opportunity to cooperate with him in the future!"
"Of course there is an opportunity!" Guo Tu said with a smile: "Now that the war is imminent, the eldest son wants to ask Ziyuan to take charge of the dispatch of grain and grass. I wonder what Ziyuan wants?"
"Scheduling food and grass?" Xu You looked at Guo Tu with a golden light in his eyes. In troubled times, food and grass are money!
