Chapter Two Hundred and Ninety Six: Xu You's Going Back

Yangwu, only ten miles away from Guandu, the cavalry could reach it in one hour. At this time, the city was controlled by Gao Lan's relatives' army. In this battle of Guandu, Gao Lan did not participate in the same as in his previous life, but instead took the initiative to give up his meritorious service and stationed in the White Horse. Yuan Shao also knew the key to the White Horse, so he was very satisfied with Gao Lan's performance of putting the overall situation first. Not only did he give the White Horse, but he even handed over Yang Wu to Gao Lan to ensure that the road to the future is worry-free and the food passage is smooth.

At this time, in the Yangwu County Government Office, Xu Shu looked at the huge confrontation map of Guandu in front of him, frowned. Even with his wisdom, he felt that this was a huge quagmire, trapping the Yuan and Cao armies in it for more than two months. The two sides had lost countless losses. The resilience of the Cao army also surprised him. Such a huge gap in military strength could actually defend without any leakage, which shows Cao Cao's ability to lead troops and the terribleness of his advisers.

"General Staff, Yangwu is too close to Guandu, it's too dangerous. You'd better go back to Baima and be with Zhizhong!" Cheng Erhu said with concern behind Xu Shu. I don't know how many times he suggested this. After all, Yuan Xi said in person that once something happened to Xu Shu, not only did he lose his head, but Yu'er's head.

In order to better control the situation of the battle between the north and the south, Pang Tong led Gao Lan to guard the white horse, while Xu Shu personally commanded 10,000 people, controlled Yangwu, and supervised the situation of Guandu at any time.

Xu Shu shook his head and said seriously: "No, the white horse is too far away. Only Yang Wu can understand the situation in Guandu as soon as possible, and then send troops to cut off the momentum of Cao's army. It is the time to test the resilience of the two armies. Judging from the intelligence, Cao Cao's food and grass should have not been able to last long."

"Then I'll win, Mr. Yuan said anxiously, "Why would the marquis go south if that's the case?"

Xu Shu's face froze, and suddenly pointed to a place name not far from Yangwu, and said solemnly: "The Guandu battle has been more than two months. The soldiers of both armies are exhausted and unwilling to fight again. This is the key place to decide the outcome."

Cheng Erhu immediately ran over, looked carefully, and said in surprise: "Wuchao"

"Yes, except for us, the highest level, no one else knows that all the food and grass that Mr. Yuan transported from the north were placed in Wuchao. Once Wuchao is lost, under the current situation, Mr. Yuan's army will immediately collapse completely. Of course, there are still too many unknowns here, but it is indeed the only opportunity for Cao's army to defeat," Xu Shu frowned.

Cheng Erhu's eyes suddenly froze and whispered: "General Staff, what if we send someone to tell Cao Cao secretly."

"No, absolutely not." Xu Shu immediately shouted sternly when he heard this.

"Why?" Cheng Erhu was puzzled.

"Because we cannot help the enemy, no matter what, Yuan Gong, he is the Marquis's personal father. The Marquis has said long ago that if Yuan Gong can win, take Xu Du and destroy Cao Cao, then he would rather give up this southward operation and turn all his attention to the position of prince. If Yuan Gong loses with such a huge advantage, it means that God will let the Marquis take over everything. This seems contradictory, but it does involve a question of the word filial piety, a clear relationship between the enemy and the enemy. Therefore, we must not tell Cao Cao about Wuchao. In this case, even if the Marquis wins the north, he will be in peace for the rest of his life." Xu Shu said seriously.

"But" Cheng Erhu was a little unwilling. Yuan Shao was just a fool in his heart. Yuan Xi was his absolute lord.

"No, but, the marquis fully agrees with this move. The marquis's grand and filial piety made Shu admire him. Even if he missed this time, even if he was in a difficult future, Shu would return to assist the marquis to ascend the throne of the Nine Five Emperors, and he would never refuse to die." Xu Shu said firmly.

Cheng Erhu's pupils suddenly shrank, as if he understood a little.

"Report!" At this time, a general suddenly rushed in and said, "Report to the General Staff, a man who claimed to be a secret spy from the Marquis suddenly came from outside and asked for a meeting."

Xu Shu's face was shocked and he hurriedly said, "Come in quickly."

"promise!"

After a while, a man wearing a servant's costume, with an ordinary appearance but a sharp look rushed in, looking at Xu Shu, immediately clasped his fists and said, "I'll pay homage to the General Staff."

"No need to be polite, you are," Xu Shu asked curiously.

"Report to the General Staff, I am a secret spy arranged by the military advisor to Xu You. Last night, due to the anxiety of the army and the sudden smell of meat in the Cao army's military camp, Yuan Shao was very angry. Xu You couldn't help but sigh in the tent that Yuan Gong missed the opportunity to fight in Xuzhou that day, which led to today's result. Unexpectedly, Guo Tu's people heard this. Guo Tu resented Xu You's insult to him and immediately told Yuan Gong that after adding fuel to the fire, Yuan Gong was already angry by this war. Coupled with the sluggish morale, in order to reshape military discipline and prestige, he angrily beat Xu You thirty-year-old slap, saying that he was nonsense and shaken the morale of the army," the man said loudly.

Xu Shu suddenly smiled bitterly and said, "Cao Cao knew the mistake and did not admit it, but Yuan Gong knew the mistake and did not admit it. This difference is really too big."

But just after saying that, Xu Shu reacted instantly, with a trace of excitement flashing across his face, and he hurriedly said, "Does Xu You plan to turn against the water?"

"Yes, after Xu You was beaten, he angrily called Yuan Shao a foolish and incompetent person. He blamed him for not listening. He had a strong hatred in his tone. He had already decided to decide in secret that after he recovered from the injury, he would immediately prepare to surrender to Cao. After his superiors knew about it, they understood that this news might be very important. I immediately asked me to come to Yangwu to report to the General Staff." The man reported.

Xu Shu trembled all over, then turned around and looked at the huge Guandu map, and suddenly knelt on the ground, with tears in his eyes and said, "This is really the help of the Lord of Heaven, Qianlong Feitian!"

"General Staff" Cheng Erhu was shocked.

"Hurry, hurry, send a message to the Marquis. Xu You will rebel soon. Wuchao will lose. Our tens of thousands of troops in Youzhou can finally go south." Xu Shu ordered excitedly.

"No!" Cheng Erhu rushed out excitedly.

When Pang Tong, the white horse, got the news, was also happy and jumped straight away, and immediately sent someone back to Youzhou as quickly as possible. At the same time, he ordered the army to gather quickly. It was time for them to step onto the stage.

.....

Three days later, the governor's mansion in Youzhou was in a quiet pavilion in the pool.

Li Ru, Han Yan, Yan Rou, Yuan Ping and Jiao Chu all looked at Yuan Xi who was watching in front of him with anticipation.

Yuan Xi held the information that had just been sent by Xu Shu and Pang Tong in his right hand tightly, and his eyes gradually condensed, and a surge of sharpness suddenly emanated from his body.

"This is God's will. It's not for others. It's for the foundation of our Yuan family for generations. Xi can only be this unfilial son."

"Send the order and the army will be dispatched"
