The sky became dark, and the bonfire swayed in Yuan Jun's camp, and Su You's body was hung on the flagpole.

In the siege war that began today, the Cao army guarding Guandu fought for a long time and finally showed fatigue at the end of their strength. In the afternoon, they stood on the top of the city several times, expanding the battle below the city tower. Even when it was approaching dusk, Yuan's army took advantage of the large number of people to launch a wave-like alternating attack, and was almost about to stand firm at the top of the city. If there was a little more time to drive Cao's army off the inner wall, the entire Guandu battle would basically enter the final stage.

Cao's army was defeated, and the next 200,000 troops drove straight through Yanzhou and entered the Yuzhou area to hunt Xudu. Perhaps Cao's army on Tucheng realized this and its resistance seemed more tenacious and resilient than usual. However, the fires ignited from the camp completely disrupted the rhythmic attack. After the soldiers who were originally unwilling to retreat to the camp, soon after, news came from other people. On their way back to the camp, Su You, the leader of the camp, was killed by the lord with one sword because of his dereliction of duty and missed the opportunity for war.

The body was stripped of armor and hung on the flagpole of the schoolyard. Many people could see it. The resentment in their hearts was finally swallowed, and the same was true for the other generals in the army.

In the big tent, Yuan Shao had not yet fallen asleep, so he discussed the next countermeasures with the counselors. After all, the white wolf of Gongsun Zhi was already showing, and how to fight later became another problem. A guard took his robe and put it on him: "Lord, the weather is a little cold at night."

Yuan Shao nodded and continued to listen to the countermeasures of the several advisers below.

"According to Gongze's previous statement, if we get entangled with Gongsun Zhi, it will never end. When the horses were banned from the north, he had already made such an idea. Our cavalry was too small, and it would be difficult for the other party to force him into a desperate situation."

Ju Su closed his eyes and listened to Xu You's speech below. The latter refuted the suggestion that Guo Tu, Feng Ji and others had just mentioned, "...You suggested that you should continue to attack Cao Cao. Once the city is broken, even if Cao Cao abandons the city and flees far away, the lord's troops can drive straight into Xudu, and there is no need to pay attention to the clown behind him."

"I mean it." Yuan Shao adjusted his clothes and nodded and said, "It is difficult for Gongsun Zhi's cavalry to pursue. Even if he surrounded his infantry, it delayed the best opportunity to attack Cao Cao. If he recovered, it would be another difficult battle. I might as well take advantage of this opportunity..." While he was still saying this, he heard a scream from "Ah!" outside the camp, and then his words fell: "........break the earth city in one breath."

Away from a distance, someone's voices tear apart the night, "I'm murdered!" The words were shrill and loud, which made everyone in the tent and Yuan Shao stunned for a moment. The footsteps outside were rumbling and the movements. Many people ran towards the other side. Yuan Shao and everyone stood up and were about to lift the curtain and walked out, and someone had already come to this side.

"What happened outside?"

The visitor bowed and said, "Reported to the lord, just a camp roar happened. A soldier suddenly woke up from his sleep and slashed at another person next to him. After being alarmed, all six people in the tent started to kill. Fortunately, the soldiers patrolling nearby felt that they were killed in time."

Yuan Shao nodded and waved his hand to let the other party go down, and then he sat down with everyone to continue discussing countermeasures. He did not take it too seriously about the incident of camp roars in the army. An army that had just experienced or often fought often often occurs. The fierce battle traces during the day, coupled with the war that was about to face next, the huge pressure on life and death, even if he fell asleep, his tense nerves would sometimes suddenly break. He vented his hysterical and crazy venting on the people and objects around him. He severely picked up the weapons beside him and killed them. The huge sounds and shouts that caused him were likely to alarm the soldiers in other tents and form a bombing camp.

Several people said a little more in the tent, and the soldiers who were alarmed outside were all comforted by the generals of various families to rest. After a while, a team of soldiers came over outside. Someone came into the tent to report earlier, and his face was filled with joy: "Lord, Mr. Xi is back!"

"The second young master is back?"

"My son is safe?"

While Yuan Shao got up from behind the long case and walked out, Xu You also quickly got up. Since he lost Yuan Xi, he couldn't raise his head in front of Yuan Shao. Now that he heard that Yuan Xi was actually back, he immediately showed joy on his face and followed his tall figure and walked out quickly.

The soldiers riding horse stopped in front of him, and a carriage slowly drove over, then stopped not far from Yuan Shao. The curtain was lifted, and a thin figure emerged from inside. Seeing the father standing at the tent, Yuan Xi's eyes were slightly red, he jumped out of the carriage and knelt down on one knee, "The child has made my father worry."

"My son will come back safely!" Yuan Shao quickly stepped over and helped his bowed figure up, pursed his lips and patted his son's shoulder, "It's good if there is nothing to do. Mi'er is in the carriage, why don't he come out to pay a visit?"

"Mi'er..." Yuan Xi turned around and looked at the movementless carriage, turned around and squeezed a smile on her face: "Father, she endured hardships and suffered along the way, and she fell asleep exhausted on the way, not to mention that this is a military camp, and letting a woman show up in vain will damage her father's power."

Yuan Shao nodded: "Xi'er is thoughtful, so that's good. You follow me to get in the account and have a chat all night." Then, he waved to the counselors behind him: "You go down and have a good rest, and we'll talk about it tomorrow."

After everyone left, Yuan Xi asked the soldiers to rush the carriage to the tent arranged for him. Then he took a look at the figure leaving there, and then followed his father into the big tent. He was captured twice and took him to Shanggu County to be detained. Then he suffered all the hardships all the way south. The man seemed to have grown a lot overnight.

During the conversation with Yuan Shao, his tone and expression changed a lot. This made Yuan Shao, who had not seen his son for a long time, felt relieved. He talked about some of the experiences and stories that happened to the south, the wave of refugees, and the robbery of several women.

"Several women are very skilled in martial arts. In such chaos, they can still do such a robber's miracle. The effect of governing Jizhou for their father is not significant." Yuan Shao smiled and looked at his son opposite him. "After this battle, Xier will also help her father manage people's livelihood. In chaos, the people always need to fill it up and prosper again. However, these women are temporarily in custody. Although they have bad habits of robbers, they will not kill them, so that they will give their father a reputation of killing women."

"It's up to my father to decide." Yuan Xi raised his hand respectfully and was silent for a moment. He looked at the position of the tent and turned his head and said a little less. "Father... When Xi was redeemed, he knew something and felt it was necessary to speak it out."

Yuan Shao poured Yijue wine, "You said."

"When he came back, Xi saw Xu You and Gongsun Zhi talking and laughing. Before leaving, he also gave him three carriages to his property. The two of them talked, like old friends for many years..."

On the top of the other side, Jue, who was standing in his hand, hovered in the air. Yuan Shao's face froze, laughed silently, and waved his hands: "Ziyuan has always been greedy for money. Gongsun Zhi intends to make friends with him and gives him money. He is also in a good mood. Xier should not be in his heart. He is tired from the long distance. You can go down and rest."

"Yes, father."

Yuan Xi, who was about to speak, left outside the tent. Yuan Shao sat down after returning to the long case, staring at the lights blankly, feeling something thorny in his heart.

"Xu Ziyuan——"

The next second, he grabbed the wine on the table, smashed it on the ground, rolling and bounced out. The campfire shook and disappeared, the clouds in the sky drifted, and the faint moonlight shone down.

As the night passed slowly, light shone in the east. In the green sky, Xu You lifted the curtain and walked out with a stretch. However, the atmosphere in the camp was a little different. The soldiers who were patrolling by were solemn and murderous, and occasionally someone looked at him with a fierce look.
