"Abide by the order!"

The two personal soldiers agreed and hurriedly released Xu You.

Xu You reached out and touched his arms that were sorely tied by the rope, raised his head and said unhappily: "Am, is this how you treat old friends?"

[Note: Xu You, Yuan Shao and Zhang Miao, who was killed by Cao Cao, were both friends of Cao Cao. When he was young, he was idle in Luoyang City and specialized in causing trouble, so Xu You dared to call Cao Cao's nickname "A Man".]

Cao Chun was furious and wanted to draw his sword and defeat Xu You, but was stopped by Cao Cao.

Cao Cao was careless and smiled, "Misunderstanding, it was just a misunderstanding. I am here to apologize to Ziyuan. Ziyuan, ask for a conversation in the account."

Xu You struggled to get enough of his face and then entered Cao Cao's military tent with satisfaction.

Cao Cao entered the military tent, respectfully invited Xu You to sit down, and then laughed and said, "I am helpless, and I have no choice but to come far away to surrender, and the matter is in harmony, hahaha."

Xu You smiled coldly and asked Cao Cao, "Among, have you finished your military rations?"

Cao Cao said: "There is still half a year to eat."

"Half a year?" Xu You sneered, "I'm afraid I can't hold on for even half a month, right?"

Cao Cao was shocked and said, "How did Ziyuan know?"

Xu You asked back without answering: "Yuan Shao's army is large and the generals are large, and his food and grass is sufficient. Your army is small and the number of generals is small and the food and grass is insufficient. How can you resist it?"

Cao Cao bowed to Xu You long and said, "Ziyuan is Yuan Shao's confidant. He knows Yuan Shao's background very well and is just about to ask for advice."

A cold light flashed in Xu You's eyes and said in a deep voice: "If you want to defeat Yuan Shao, you must first burn his food and grass!"

Cao Cao said: "I don't know where Yuan Shao's military rations are stationed?"

Xu You said: "Official Duke 300 miles northeast, Wuchao!"

"Good!" Cao Cao was overjoyed and said to Cao Chun urgently, "Zihe, quickly summon the generals to come to the big tent to discuss matters!"

"Abide by the order!"

Cao Chun agreed and took the order and left.

Xu You said to Cao Cao: "Am, how should you thank me after the matter is completed?"

Cao Cao said: "Hundred taels of gold?"

Xu You said nothing.

Cao Cao said again: "Hundreds of beauties?"

Xu You still said nothing.

Cao Cao smiled and said, "Hahaha, Ziyuan, I am aware of it. If you can defeat Yuan Shao in this battle, you should be the third minister and be the most powerful minister."

Xu You smiled slightly, his face looked proud.

Lujiang, Wan County.

Although it was already late at night, Sun Jian's bedroom was still brightly lit.

Zhou Yu pointed to the map on the table and said to Sun Jian: "Lord, as the military advisor said, there are only three consequences of the melee in the Central Plains, or Yuan Shao entered the Central Plains; or the horse butcher entered the Central Plains; or Yuan and horses fought each other, Cao Cao shrank in a corner, and he was harsh and harsh. In response to these three possible situations, our army must make corresponding preparations."

Sun Jian's eyes showed expectation and said in a stern manner: "Please speak quickly."

Zhou Yu said: "If Yuan Shao enters the Central Plains, Jiangbei will be in a hurry. The Yuan family's four generations and three masters are expected to return to the country. It can be said to be a famous family. If Yuan Shao uses the emperor to command the world, Mei Cheng, Lei Xu, Chen Gui, Chen Deng, Sun Qian, Cao Bao and others in Huainan are afraid of returning, and our army will not be able to compete with him."

Sun Jian agreed and nodded heavily.

Zhou Yu said: "Our army should take the opportunity to take Jingzhou, Xichuan, and tie the river with Ma Butcher and Yuan Shao to rule! When chaos arises in the north, Yu leads a side army out of Hanzhong, Bo Fu (Sun Ce) leads elite troops out of Jingxiang, and the lord personally leads a large army out of Huainan. Three large armies advance together. In order to attack the Central Plains, the world can be determined!"

Sun Jian's eyes were filled with excitement and asked, "If the butcher of horses enters the Central Plains, what will happen?"

Zhou Yu said: "The horse butcher is notorious and kills people like mahjong. He is despised by the gentry all over the world. Even if he enters the Central Plains, it will not last long. This heavenly lord will be given Yan, Yu, and Xuzhou. The lord should personally lead a large army out of Guangling, and Bo Fu leads a partial army out of Huainan. He can get the Central Plains and Xuzhou without any effort!"

Sun Jian said: "Will the butcher horse willingly give up the Central Plains?"

Zhou Yu said: "Of course, but he has no choice but to give up the Central Plains!"

Sun Jian said: "What about?"

Zhou Yu said: "Then the lord can join Yuan Shao in the north to fight against the horse butcher, and then condemn elite troops to seize Jingzhou and Xichuan in the west. In this way, the lords in the world have two of them, and they are almost in a sweeping situation, and great achievements are expected."

Sun Jian said again: "If Yuan and horses fight each other and Cao Cao hides in a corner, how should he deal with it?"

Zhou Yu said: "In fact, what Yu is most worried about is that such a situation will occur. The possibility of such a situation is the smallest, but it is the most unfavorable to our army."

Sun Jian said: "How do you say this?"

Zhou Yu said: "If Yuan and horses fight, it will be difficult for Cao Cao to gain a foothold in the Central Plains! With Cao Cao's ability, he should try to find another place to settle down. His first choice is probably Jingzhou. Liu Biao was old and his two sons were not good at all. Cao Cao might use his corpse to revive Jingzhou, and then use Jingzhou as a springboard to seize Xichuan west."
