Chapter 154 Xu You: In the beginning, how could you become stronger if you didn't charge money (two
Zhang Jibu was left by Niu Fu to contain the Bai Bo bandits.
Niu Fu led his troops and horses, and had been confronting the Baibo bandits here for such a long time. Now he received the order and needed to lead his troops and horses to leave quickly from Hedong. Naturally, he had to be on guard against the Baibo bandits taking advantage of the situation to counterattack.
The place where Zhang Xiu met his uncle Zhang Ji was not the original stationed place, but moved far to the southeast, almost approaching the southeastern edge of Hedong County.
Going in the direction of Luoyang, it was much closer.
This was Zhang Ji's strategic retreat in accordance with the original plan after completing the diversionary mission and covering the smooth westward march of Li Jue, Guo Si, and Fan Chou led by Niu Fu.
It won't work without retreating.
After all, when all three of them were present, Zhang Jibu also suffered a loss.
Now only one of them is left. After completing the cover mission, wouldn't it be foolish not to retreat, leave the hinterland of Hedong, and come to a place close to Luoyang, with Luoyang as his back, and not let himself be alone?
When Zhang Xiu left Hedong and went to Sishui Pass, Dong Zhuo's transfer order had not yet arrived at Hedong.
In the following days, he basically thought about his own affairs and did not care too much about external affairs.
Moreover, in order to smoothly withdraw his troops from Hedong and go to fight Han Sui and Ma Teng without letting the enemy have a chance to notice, Dong Zhuo kept this matter very secret.
Therefore, Zhang Xiu, who returned to Hedong with great ambitions and prepared to kill more people of the Wei clan in Hedong in exchange for some fine wine and delicacies from Emperor Liu's place, was a little confused for a while after knowing these things.
I just went out for a short trip, why did everything change drastically after I came back?
The main force has left Hedong, and his uncle has also brought troops and horses to the edge of Hedong. How can he find trouble with the rebels like the Wei clan in Hedong?
When I returned from Sishui Pass, I made a promise to Uncle Liu Huang...
Zhang Ji was not as disappointed as Zhang Xiu.
This time, following General Zhonglang, he had a confrontation with the Baibo thief in Hedong, and he understood that the Baibo thief was not that easy to deal with.
The Baibo thieves are not just remnants of the Yellow Turbans, thieves who cannot survive.
Among the Baibo thieves, there are many shadows of powerful local families.
Wei Zhongdao, who was captured alive by his own men and then killed by his extremely angry Zhonglang General, is an example.
It is also because of this that the Baibo bandits are very powerful.
From the moment he received the order to contain the Baibo bandits and cover the main force's departure from Hedong, Zhang Ji became tense, not daring to slack off or make any excuses.
Fortunately, along the way, they also completed the cover task without any danger, and led the soldiers and horses all the way back to the edge of Hedong County.
It was only now that Zhang Ji took a long breath and felt much more relaxed.
Of course, in addition to this, another reason is that he knew what his nephew Zhang Xiu did at Sishui Pass.
As an uncle who took in many beautiful concubines but could not give birth to a son, so he raised his nephew as his heir. After knowing his nephew's behavior in Sishui Pass this time, he really
He showed a smile like an old father's.
Of course, the overly detailed things involved in these matters were not told to him by Zhang Xiu, but Zhang Ji learned from Zhang Xiu's personal soldiers who followed Zhang Xiu on a trip to Sishui Pass.
According to his nephew's proud temperament, he would never tell his uncle personally about these things...
Hedong County is called Hedong County because it is east of the Yellow River.
That is, the east side of the vertical road to the right of the word "Ji" in the Yellow River.
In addition to facing the Yellow River to the west, it also faces the Yellow River to the south.
In other words, it is separated from Luoyang by the Yellow River.
At this time, Zhang Ji led his troops and horses, moving all the way to the southeast, approaching Luoyang, and was basically close to the Yellow River.
When we get here, we are not too far away from the Yellow River and Luoyang.
About to leave Hedong, Zhang Ji breathed a sigh of relief.
However, I don’t dare to relax too much in this mouthful.
After all, there is a saying that no one is close across the river.
If he wants to return to Luoyang, there is still a Yellow River that needs to be crossed.
At this time, the soldiers and horses had not yet crossed the Yellow River and arrived at the designated area, and Zhang Ji did not dare to relax too much.
After completing the cover mission, he did not want to lead his troops all the way back to Luoyang, but to follow orders to garrison Mengjin and guard the Yellow River ferry after crossing the Yellow River.
Prevent the Baibo thieves from being bold enough to go south from here to attack Luoyang!
Of course, many of Zhang Ji's soldiers and generals felt much more relaxed.
After all, they were about to leave Hedong and get closer to Luoyang.
Moreover, from the previous cover battle, they realized something.
The thing is, Thief Baibo is wary of himself and others, and he doesn't dare to really kill himself and others!
Thinking about it, you can understand that you and others are subordinates of Dong Xiangguo.
The one with the most powerful military force today is the Prime Minister.
These damn Baibo thieves really wanted to kill me and others, so they need to think carefully about how to deal with the blow from the Prime Minister...
Under such circumstances, Zhang Ji's troops continued to move southeast and came to the edge of the Yellow River, preparing to cross the Yellow River...
…
Moving forward in time, the location came to Hanoi County where Yuan Shao's army gathered.
In a gorgeously decorated room, Xu You was lying on the bed.
After a while of this, Xu You suddenly stood up and stood on the ground.
The whole person's complexion was constantly changing.
No wonder Xu You had such a big reaction.
In fact, what he was thinking about was more relevant.
Just now, he suddenly realized that this time, he and others might have thought a little wrong when it came to Dong Zhuo sending envoys to persuade them to surrender.
This does not mean that the response is wrong and these messengers should not be executed.
It's because, while doing these things and responding to them, you should also move your eyes away from the matter itself, look at places farther away, and make connections with them.
For example, Hedong and Xiliang!
Xu You stood in the room and cast his gaze in the direction of Hedong and Xiliang.
The most fundamental purpose of the other party sending envoys is probably not to use these people to shake their own military morale and make their own side shaken.
But I want to use this method to attract the attention of myself and others!
Don't let yourself and others notice their military maneuvers...
It seems that I and others have been deceived by Dong Zhuo!
This feeling of being manipulated by the enemy on top of strategy and tactics is not good.
Especially for people like Xu You, who always value their own intelligence and are extremely confident.
Ordinary people, when they encounter a strategic mistake and realize it, most of them will quickly find their lord and inform their lord of the matter, and then quickly think of ways to remedy the situation.
Xu You is obviously not an ordinary person, so he certainly doesn't do this.
After realizing these things, he did not go to Yuan Shao immediately.
Instead, after standing here with a gloomy look on his face for a while, he brought out a box from a hidden place.
After the lid of the box was opened, what was exposed inside were all gold, silver and jewelry.
Xu You found a futon, knelt down in front of the box, reached out and picked up the gold and silver jewelry one by one, watching and playing with them...
"I found a way to fill you up!"
After a long while, Xu You, who had been silent until now, finally spoke, patting the less than half-filled wooden box with his hand, talking to himself, with a smile on his face.
As he spoke, he closed the lid of the box and put it back to its original position. After tidying up his clothes, he opened the door and walked out calmly...
Yuan Shao, who seemed so majestic after becoming the leader of the alliance, was no longer so majestic at this time.
At least in his heart, he no longer had the complacency and complacency that he had when he thought he could spread his wings and fly high after becoming the leader of the alliance.
Psychologically, he was hit hard by the stupid move made by his incompetent and scum brother Yuan Shu.
In terms of military affairs, since they took advantage of the cold weather to mobilize their troops and launch a major operation against Luoyang, except for some small-scale confrontations, they have not made any major moves for a long time.
It's not that Yuan Shao doesn't want to make a big move, but that he never has any good strategies here.
Moreover, within the alliance, it is becoming increasingly unstable, and people's hearts seem to be divided.
He had no achievements in the military field. Not to mention that he couldn't kill Dong Zhuo. Even the damn guy who killed his uncle's family could not be killed himself.
This damn guy is still there at Sishui Pass, living well and showing off his power.
With all these things piled up together, it would be strange if Yuan Shao could be in a good mood and be high-spirited!
It was at this moment that a guard came to announce that Xu You and Xu Ziyuan had come to meet the lord.
After Yuan Shao heard this, he calmed down his mood and asked the guards to invite Xu Ziyuan in.
He himself, after waiting for a while, stood up and walked outside.
As a result, before he walked outside, he heard a shout from outside: "Benchu! Benchu! Your old friend Xu Ziyuan came to meet you with a clever plan. Why are you still hiding in the house and not coming out to greet him?
?!"
The smile that he adjusted on Yuan Shao's face couldn't help but freeze.
But soon, a smile appeared on his face again.
Then he continued walking towards the door.
Xu You's mouth is still as annoying as ever, but you can still listen to this guy's strategy.
Especially when Xu You's mouth becomes foul, you should listen to the strategies he says.
Many past experiences told Yuan Shao that Xu You's strategy was generally very effective in such situations.
"When Ziyuan comes, how dare I not go out to welcome him?"
Yuan Shao smiled, said aloud, and walked out of the room.
At this time, Xu You had already entered the courtyard and received orders from Yuan Shao to greet Xu You's guards. He had not yet reached the entrance of the courtyard.
At this glance, it was clear that Xu You walked in on his own before the guards could pass by.
When Yuan Shao saw this scene, the smile on his face not only did not disappear, but on the contrary, it became even stronger.
He quickened his pace and walked towards Xu You, saying, "I've been waiting for Ziyuan to come, but I've been waiting so long that I can't bear to wait!
Fortunately, I am now looking forward to having my son come from far away!"
Xu You said with a smile: "I thought that after meeting Guo Gongze at first, I would forget about my old friend!"
Yuan Shao seemed not to understand the meaning of Xu You's words and said with a smile:
"How could I forget you, Ziyuan? How many years have we known each other?
Don’t they understand each other yet?
How can others compare to us?"
As soon as Yuan Shao spoke his sincere words, Xu You immediately felt much better and felt like a spring breeze.
I have to say that Yuan Shao is really good at dealing with people, especially when he is at the trough of headwind.
The two of them said this and walked all the way to the room where Yuan Shao served as the tent.
"...More than a hundred days have passed since Benchu, when all the soldiers and horses from all over the world were gathered together to defeat Dong Zhuo. There have been several battles to defeat Dong Zhuo, with few victories and many defeats. Dong Zhuo is still in Luoyang, holding the emperor and officials hostage.
, threatening the country and putting the Han Dynasty in danger of losing its eggs.
As the leader of the alliance, I ordered the soldiers and horses of the world, what do you want to say?"
Xu You looked at Yuan Shao and asked.
Yuan Shao sighed: "Shao is ashamed. He only had the ambition to attack Dong Zhuo, but he had no strategy to attack Dong Zhuo. He failed to live up to the expectations of the people of the world.
Please also ask Ziyuan to teach me!"
With that said, Yuan Shao stood up and bowed solemnly to Xu You.
Xu You didn't dodge, he just stood here and accepted Yuan Shao's salute calmly, then stepped forward and stretched out his hand to help Yuan Shao up.
"It's not that I, Xu You, am too trusting. It's actually my plan. I can withstand this gift from the original!"
Xu You said this to Yuan Shao.
Then he raised three fingers towards Yuan Shao.
Yuan Shao, who had just saluted Xu You, looked at Xu You's three fingers and felt his heart aching for a moment.
here we go again!
here we go again!!
This guy who keeps saying that he is the one who made the baby grow is here to cheat him out of money again!!!
It doesn't matter that this guy doesn't speak nicely, the key is that he always likes to use tricks to get money for himself.
In comparison, Guo Tu, who speaks nicely, is considerate, and never asks for money, is more likable.
Yuan Shao, who was full of heartache, said with a smile: "Here, bring up three hundred thousand dollars!"
Very proud.
Xu You waved his hand.
Yuan Shao was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "It seems that I underestimated your plan, Ziyuan. Come and prepare three million yuan!"
Xu You waved his hand again and said, "It's thirty million dollars."
The smile on Yuan Shao's face suddenly stiffened...
