May of the second year of Xingping (195 AD).

Lu Bu's Northern Liang army and Yuan Shao were in the Weijun area of ​​Hebei for nearly a year, and the defense of Yuan Shao's army was temporarily the main one. Although Lu Bu had the advantage of offense, he would not be able to launch an effective attack for a while.

The weather gradually began to become hot and hot. At night, I frowned at the lights and looked at the information from all over Chang'an and Luoyang. Lu Bu kept drawing with a wolf's pen solemnly.

"Master."

At this moment, Zhou Cang, a personal general outside the camp, came in and clasped his fists respectfully at Lu Bu, with a sense of heat in his eyes.

"What's the matter?"

He looked up indifferently and saw that Zhou Cang was newly promoted, Lu Bu continued to look down at the military affairs in his palm and asked casually.

Zhou Cang respectfully clasped his fists and said in a deep voice: "Lord, there is a lord and old friend outside the military camp to see him."

An old friend?

Lu Bu couldn't help but slowly lowered the military formation in his palm, raised his head and looked at Zhou Cang's eyes with a look of suspicion.

What old friend? He has no old friend in Jizhou. Could it be that he used to be in Bingzhou?

Under Lu Bu's suspicious gaze, he waved his hand casually and said, "Bring it in."

Soon, a middle-aged scholar wearing an ordinary literati uniform brought in by Zhou Cang, under Lu Bu's suspicious gaze.

Xu You chuckled lightly, bowed respectfully to Lu Bu and said in a deep voice: "Xu You, the former counselor under Yuan Shao, had met Marquis Wen."

Xu You! Originally under Yuan Shao’s account?

After this period, Lu Bu was stunned at first, then thought of something, and immediately smiled, clapping his hands and laughing: "It turns out it's sir, the person is here to hold a banquet quickly."

promise!

After Zhou Cang slowly clasped his fists, the banquet was finally put into the tent.

Lu Bu looked at this person with a smile, and his eyes were even more shiny. Perhaps this person was his chance.

"Wenhou."

After a while, Xu You smiled awkwardly and bowed to Lu Bu.

"What advice do you have sir?"

Lu Bu also pretended to be stupid and said in a daze. Xu You held back the embarrassment and turned the topic around lamely.

"Mr. Wen, I believe the general has heard of the embarrassing things under Yuan Shao's tent."

He simply let go, and Xu You made up his mind and smiled shamelessly.

"Wen Hou, Yuan Shao has now lost the benefits of the cavalry and imposed the charge on me, and even beat me out of the military camp. I have never resented this."

When Xu You talked about this, he looked even more choked. Those who didn't know how loyal he was.

Secretly wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes, Xu You turned his head and looked at Lu Bu and said in a deep voice: "I don't know if Wen Hou wants to take Jizhou!"

In an instant, Lu Bu was stunned and looked at Xu You straight and couldn't help but smile, "Sir, can you have a good idea to help me take Jizhou?"

Xu You sighed sadly and bowed, "Wen Hou, Yuan Shao is generous on the outside and is afraid on the inside, and is secretly preparing to harm him. He even has a small family, just like Han Fu."

First, he explained why he betrayed Yuan Shao. Xu You was not that kind of person. Yuan Shao wanted to harm him and his family, so he had no choice but to force him.

"Hmph! After Yuan Shao was vainly appointed as the third master of the fourth generation, don't worry, as long as I have Lu Bu for one day, Yuan Shao will not succeed."

Who can't say good-false words? Lu Bu said with great ambitions, as if he had accepted Xu You.

Xu You sighed quietly and then said: "Wen Hou's army occupies Jizhou, while Yuan Shao has more than 300,000 troops, but he cannot compare with the general. If he fights for a long time, he will be defeated."

When talking about this, Xu You stood up passionately and came to the map in Lu Bu's tent, with his fingers weighing a little more heavily in several positions.

Yecheng! Handan! Julu!

With these three places, Xu You said in a deep voice: "I dare to ask if the battle between Wen Hou has been in a stalemate for nearly a year, how long can the food and grass last?"

Faced with Xu You's inquiry, Lu Bu suddenly burst into laughter, took a bamboo slip from the desk, and handed it to the other party, and said boldly: "The army's food and grass can be eaten for three months, and the Huguan area in Bingzhou has even stockpiled grain for half a year for 200,000 troops."

When he talked about this, Lu Bu squinted his eyes and looked at Xu You, "Luoyang, Chang'an has sufficient food and supplies. Even if he fights for another three years, Lu Bu will be with you to the end."

With Lu Bu's bold statement, Xu You slowly opened the bamboo slips, and when he saw the contents, he was even more shocked.

What Lu Bu said is not false, not to mention anything else. All the records above are food and grass drawn from Hanoi and Hedong counties.

The food and grass sent by each aristocratic family in the two places, especially the three major families of Sima, Yang and Wei, were even more dedicated to delivering food and grass.

In other words, in this battle, Lu Bu's food consumption in the first half of the year almost relied on sucking the blood of the three major families in Hedong and Hanoi, and then he started to use his food and grass.

For a moment, Xu You's scalp became numb. After looking up at Lu Bu's smiling expression, he smiled awkwardly.

"Wen Hou is really a god."

Without plotting against the other party, Xu You smiled awkwardly and pointed to the map and said in a deep voice: "Wen Hou, this battle is in Jizhou, and the cavalry under the general's command is unparalleled in the world."

"The food and grass of Yuan Shao's army were almost all stored in Yecheng, Julu and Handan."

When he talked about this, Xu You even lit a few times in Yecheng, "Especially in Yecheng, nearly half of the food and grass in Jizhou, and the families of the generals are here."

When he said this, Xu You suddenly paused, turned his head to look at Lu Bu, and sighed: "Although Yuan Shao's food and grass are not as strong as the general, it is extraordinary, and it is enough for the army to fight for two years."

At this time, Lu Bu also understood it. He couldn't help but take a deep breath and bowed to Xu You solemnly: "I would like to ask for advice from you. After I attack Yuan Shao's army and take Jizhou, I will definitely be rewarded with you."

Xu You was so ashamed that he dared not take it. He waved his hands and sighed: "Mr. Wen, I am not here to pay the senior executives' salary this time, but to protect myself."

Xu You seemed so noble when he said this, but Lu Bu laughed secretly. As expected, scholars are different, and even betrayal, they have to find an excuse to make a step forward.

"I have some abilities in Yecheng at the moment, as long as Wen Hou... like this, like this..."

The two whispered, and then Lu Bu showed a bold smile.

"Haha, Mr. Xiao He is my Lu Bu and Xiao He, and Zhang Liang."

With Lu Bu's bold laugh, Xu You also had a smile on his eyes, but waved his hand and sighed: "How dare you! How dare you!"

At this time, Xu You was even more tearful and looked at Lu Bu quietly, "I hope that Marquis Wen will kill less in the future. I, Xu Ziyuan, is also ashamed of Benchu."

He had already bought someone completely and had to make excuses for himself, but he was full of smiles about people like Xu You.

"Sir, loyalty and righteousness."

With his thumbs up and praise, Xu You waved his hands and sighed, "I'll be waiting for the Grand Marshal Wen in Yecheng in such a distance."

After a deep bow, Xu You wanted to say goodbye. After seeing this scene, Lu Bu pretended to be reluctant.

"Sir, now that he is going back to Yecheng, he may be murdered by Yuan Shao's son, so why not stay in the army."

Faced with Lu Bu's concern, Xu You also trembled slightly, then waved his hand and sighed and shook his head: "If all of them are in Yecheng, how can I rest assured to the rest of the people? I'd better go back to Yecheng to wait for the general in person."

"gentlemen!"

Unable to give up, Lu Bu even sent Xu You outside the military camp and personally helped the other party get on the horse.

After this closeness, Xu You bowed to Lu Bu excitedly and whispered: "I, Xu You, are waiting for the general."

Da da da da da

After the figure riding a horse gradually disappeared, the moment Lu Bu turned his head, the reluctance on his face disappeared in an instant. Not only that, he also laughed and ordered Zhou Cang: "Go and pass on the two military advisors' tents to discuss matters."

promise!

Xu Huang, Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao were promoted one after another because they made contributions to persuade the Black Mountain bandit Zhang Yan.

In the tent.

When Jia Xu and Guo Jia heard what their lord Lu Bu said, they stared at the map, and both of them frowned.

"Lord, if Xu Ziyuan is true! Then the lord can defeat Yuan Shao by turning his hands, and he can win the hearts of half of the people in Jizhou."

Jia Xu spoke first, first talking about the completion of the work, and then he said in a calm voice: "If there is any fraud, I'm afraid!"

When Jia Xu said this, he didn't say anything more, but Guo Jia looked at Lu Bu straight and smiled on his face.

"I have been working under Yuan Shao for 600% sure that I have heard of this person Xu You."

"This person is indeed very talented, but he is also arrogant!"

When Guo Jia said this, Lu Bu looked at him with a straight look. With a calm expression, Jia Xu couldn't help but smile at the corner of his mouth.

In an instant, Guo Jia smiled embarrassedly, being arrogant and being arrogant was not talking about him, just because he was not valued, he left Yuan Shao.

"Haha, there is no need to worry about Fengxiao. After all, Xu You betrayed the Lord under his command. Fengxiao was only invited by me for two years at home."

The invitation made Guo Jia smile even more embarrassedly, and he shook his head helplessly while touching his nose.

"Lord, Xu You is so popular that he is not strong enough. If he doesn't get the power, he will be arrogant and arrogant. He will not be able to tolerate anyone in his eyes. And according to our information, what Xu You said is not false."

"In front of the entire army, he was bombarded out of the military camp by the rioters. Xu You is such a strong person with a good face and a strong mind. It is false to have no hatred in his heart. Moreover, according to the lord, Xu You's family was detained for breaking the law. We can tell by just one investigation."

After saying all this, Guo Jia even stretched out his hand and gestured in a deep voice: "Sixty or seventy percent sure, will the lord dare to try it?"

Guo Jia was brave, but Jia Xu frowned and hesitated a little, but when Lu Bu saw this, he burst into laughter and stepped forward and even grabbed the two fingers of Guo Jia's other hand back.

"Sixty or seventy percent sure! It's high! I've never been fully sure about the battle on the battlefield, and five points are already mercy."

I saw Lu Bu laughing proudly and domineeringly, and then said in a deep voice in front of the two of them: "Let's make a sound and make a full bloom."

"The Qiang tribe has three thousand cavalry and our army has three thousand cavalry, a total of six thousand. If it is really enough! If it is fake, there is a chance to escape."
