Chapter 237: Yuan Benchu, a different hero(2/2)
"Have I never given you glory and wealth in these years?! Why are you betraying me like this?!"
The sharp arrow was placed on his neck. Xu You was so frightened that his body was covered with cold sweat. Xu You immediately knelt down in front of Yuan Shao.
At this moment, the other generals in the account thought that Yuan Shao would just punish Xu You a little. Who would have thought that Yuan Shao would be like this...
With the current situation, the lord really wants to conclude that the matter of Wuchao's food and grass was Xu You's deliberate betrayal?!
But the generals secretly said: Recently, Xu You has been accompanying the lord and has never left the camp alone.
Is it possible that Xu You secretly left the military camp?!
Xu You was helpless at the moment and didn't know how to fight back.
At this moment, a scout suddenly entered the camp quickly.
Seeing the murderous formation in the camp, this man did not dare to neglect, and immediately knelt down in front of Yuan Shao, handed a letter with both hands, and said in a deep voice, "Lord! We caught a Cao Jun secret sentry not long ago, and then shot him
I found a letter addressed to Xu Biejia!"
"Oh? Bring it over quickly and let me look through it!"
Yuan Shao shouted loudly, and the scout who came to report the news was immediately frightened.
Xu You's hands were shaking. Until this moment, he had never known what was going on?!
Suddenly...the evidence was so conclusive that it was impossible to defend?!
Seeing Yuan Shao taking the letter in his hand, Xu You felt panic and fear for some reason.
Yuan Shao picked up the letter and looked at it carefully. However, his face became colder and colder, and his anger became stronger and stronger.
"Xu Ziyuan, you are so good Xu Ziyuan!"
"I'm so angry!"
Yuan Shao suddenly looked up to the sky and shouted.
"Xu You! Xu Biejia! What other excuses do you want to make?! This letter was specially written for you by Xi Yu. Haha, okay..."
"The letter said that the Wuchao incident has been completed. You were the first to win the battle of Guandu. In order to reward you for your sincerity and surrender, I will grant you the title of marquis. Mr. Xu, when will the fate between you and me be over?
"
"What?! This... Ziyuan..."
Hearing this, Tian Feng was immediately shocked, with anger all over his face.
Tian Feng couldn't help but pointed at Xu You and cursed, "Xu You, it's okay for you and me to be quarrelsome with each other, but after all, I respect you for your talent and knowledge, but I, Tian Feng, have never thought that you are betraying your trust and betraying your lord."
Villain!"
Xu You almost fainted from anger, and immediately defended loudly, "Tian Feng, you can't talk nonsense, I, Xu You, have never turned my back on the Lord to ask for glory!
"I don't!!"
"This must be Xi Yu's plan to slander and alienate! I have long heard that Xi Yu is very cunning, and he is even more unpredictable. You have all fallen into Xi Yu's treacherous plan!"
"My lord, I have promised you to follow you for decades. My loyalty to my lord can be proven by the sun and the moon. My lord must not just rely on a fabricated letter to believe the enemy's alienation plan, but accidentally kill a loyal minister!"
"My lord, you must never be gullible or underestimate your enemy!"
Xu You was extremely frightened and hated Xi Yu for being so treacherous. He had to kneel on the ground and defended loudly, begging Yuan Shao not to believe Xi Yu's words easily, otherwise he would definitely be killed by Yuan Shao today.
Jushu and Guo Tu felt a sudden sadness in their hearts at this moment. If Xu You was killed by Yuan Shao, it would mean that the military advisor who had followed Yuan Shao for the longest time had disappeared.
The rabbit dies and the fox is sad, the sadness comes from it!
The two of them wanted to persuade Yuan Shao, but they didn't know how to speak. They knew in their hearts that even if they tried to persuade Yuan Shao, it might not be effective.
After all, it was the two of them who personally reported Xu You's rebellion to Yuan Shao.
"Lord! I definitely did not betray you!!"
"My lord, please don't believe in the thief Xi Yu's tricks. Please tell me, my lord!"
Xu You's expression kept changing. Seeing that Yuan Shao really wanted to kill him, Xu You suddenly panicked.
Xu You didn't know why, it was all just a coincidence, but with so many coincidences coming together, in Yuan Shao's eyes, it wasn't necessarily a coincidence.
Now that things have come to this, how can Xu You not panic?
"Ziyuan, what can you say now that things have come to this?"
Yuan Shao slowly closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and suddenly said in a deep voice, "Xu You betrayed his master and betrayed Cao Cao in order to seek glory, which resulted in the defeat of our army. I have decided to kill Xu You in front of the tent!"
After a long time, Yuan Shao slowly opened his eyes. His old cheeks were full of helplessness. Suddenly his eyes flashed and he turned to look at Wen Chou, "You, immediately inform the entire army about the execution of Xu You!"
"Give me another order to withdraw immediately and retreat to Liyang. Then order my son to send food and grass from the plains and Youzhou to prepare Liyang to resist Cao Cao's attack!"
Perhaps the mood swings were too great for a while, which caused restlessness in the blood. Yuan Shaodun felt exhausted mentally and physically, and it was difficult to support him. There was a daze on his face, and his vision became extremely blurry.
The counselors around him gradually came to their senses, and Wen Chou also accepted the order and left.
Yuan Shao waved his hand to disperse the people in the tent and asked the counselors to leave as well.
In the end, he and Xu You were the only two people left in the huge military tent.
After a while, Xu You slowly raised his head, with a confused look on his face, and asked softly, "Ming Gong, do you really want to put me to death?"
Yuan Shao looked at Xu You with cold-blooded and terrifying eyes, but at this time Yuan Shao had gradually calmed down and Xia Li was not distracted by what happened before.
After a long time, Yuan Shao said in a calm tone, "Ziyuan, you and I are in charge. Just now I asked you if you are willing to go through fire and water for me. You said that even if you go through fire and sword for me, you are willing..."
"Are you serious about this?"
"Of course, a gentleman's words are hard to follow."
Xu You's whole body trembled, but he had to nod his head in response.
"Okay! Ziyuan, you and I have been friends for decades, so there is no need to say more! It is difficult for me to explain these things today, but there is one thing you need to know..."
"Whether these things are true or false today, you will no longer be able to survive!"
As soon as Yuan Shao said these words, Xu You suddenly trembled all over.
It was as if a heavy hammer suddenly hit him, directly pronouncing his life or death. The panic in his heart suddenly came to his senses.
Xu You suddenly looked at Yuan Shao and smiled bitterly. After a long time, he said with despair, "I understand, Duke Ming wants to use Xu You's death to stabilize the morale of the army! In this way, Duke Ming can unite the soldiers and horses in the camp. , fight hard to resist Cao Jun’s attack on Liyang!”
When Yuan Shao heard this, he felt sad and helpless. He could only nodded slowly, "That's true."
Yuan Shao thought to himself: Xu Ziyuan is Xu Ziyuan after all, he can always understand the key to the matter.
"Ziyuan, now, your death is a foregone conclusion, but your death gives me the possibility of turning defeat into victory."
Yuan Shao looked indifferent and stared at Xu You for a long time. He had already made a decision and his expression became even more decisive. "If you still have any wishes, you can tell me and I will try my best to make it happen for you."
"Ziyuan doesn't have any wishes." Xu You said sadly.
Xu You suddenly knelt on the ground and bowed deeply. After a long time, he said in despair, "After I die, I only ask you to be kind to my family, that's all."
