Chapter 533: Xu You's family is broken

"Lord! You have a plan to defeat Zhou Yu!" Xu You took the lead, arched his hands, his back bent slightly, and his small eyes were shining.

Yuan Shao was overjoyed when he heard this, his face suddenly turned dark and he hurriedly said, "Ziyuan is a resourceful person, so he will tell you slowly!"

Xu You coughed lightly, his eyes swept across the faces of everyone in the tent, but no one gave him a positive response. Shen Pei's face looked like a door, and Guo Tu's skinny face shook slightly. Xin Ping and Xin Pi simply raised their heads and looked at the dome of the central army's tent.

"A group of roosters crowing and dog thieves!" Xu You greeted the mother of these people in his heart, cheered up and bowed deeply to Yuan Shao, and said loudly: "Although the enemy and our army have not fought with all their strength, they have fought several times. Our army is powerful and the enemy is not weak, with more than 100,000 troops. Gao Shun's camp is also an elite soldier in the world, even General Zhang He has not obtained any advantage! Now the enemy's deep ditch and high base, guarding Jishui to the death, but does not take the initiative to attack. The two armies have reached a stalemate! However, all our army's food and supplies need to be transported from Hebei, the food route is long, and the enemy cavalry has repeatedly attacked him. Time delays, the soldiers are lazy and their morale is not strong, and once the food and grass are short, the entire army can only retreat!"

While listening quietly, Yuan Shao gently stroked his long beard that was well maintained, and his expression remained unchanged.

Xu You continued: "So, our army should only fight quickly!"

Guo Tu suddenly said coldly: "Fight quickly? Can Ziyuan have a good plan to defeat Gao Shun? The second young master's army has never been able to pass even Jishui!"

Xu You smiled, ignored Guo Tu's cold words, and bowed to Yuan Shao: "Lord, have you ever heard of 'openly repairing the plank road and crossing Chencang secretly'?"

"Hey~~ I'm far from you," Yuan Shao waved his hand. "This is the solution offered by Han Xin to Emperor Gaozu in the past to confuse Xiang Yu by building a plank road. The army suddenly attacked Chen Cang, and then he would have the feat of chasing the Central Plains in the future! Is Zi Yuan trying to let me follow the example?"

Xu Youxiao's eyes were filled with a smile, and he took a few steps forward, and said to Yuan Shao's ear: "Lord, see clearly! Zhou Yu's main force is out today, and the rear is empty. If the lord pretends to confront him in Guandu, secretly sends a general, leads tens of thousands of elite soldiers, and takes a detour to attack Zhou Yu's side, Zhou Yu will be defeated!"

After hearing this, Yuan Shao's eyes suddenly appeared and looked at Xu You's eyes steadily. After a moment, Yuan Shao's eyes were a little distracted. He waved his hand gently and said, "Zhou Yu is often unexpected in his use of troops and has many tricks. If our army splits troops and sneaks into his back, how could he not beware of it? If this is true, the troops assigned will be in danger and will be defeated, which will definitely affect the morale of our army. At that time, it will be more than worth the loss!"

Xu You was a little anxious when he heard this, and jumped up and said, "Lord! Don't lose your opportunity. Before Zhou Yu has made a complete arrangement, the courage of Zhang He, Ju Yi and other generals under the lord's tent can definitely defeat the enemy!"

"Ziyuan, the matter is very important, so let me consider it again." Yuan Shao was a little moved by Xu You's plan, but considering that his army is currently superior, he can win as long as he defeats the Zhou army in front of him, and it is not worth taking the risk of using this plan. Deep in his heart, Yuan Shao was still very afraid of Zhou Yu, fearing that if he is not careful, he will be wiped out and his foundation will be lost.

Xu You felt very depressed that his self-righteous plan had not been adopted. At this time, Guo Tu, Shen Pei and others offered advice to Yuan Shao. He was too lazy to listen, so he simply knelt down behind the desk, closed his eyes slightly, and calmed down.

Yuan Shao discussed with everyone and finally decided on the next action plan.

A crisp "bang" sound made Xu You's eyes suddenly open, but Yuan Shao was tapping the command with his right palm on the Zheng Case, "Send the order to command Yuan Xi to command the Youzhou troops and the battalion to call on the two hundred newly created warships, which can be built into a floating bridge within two days, and then his duty was to defend the floating bridge to the death, and not let the Jiangdong Army's soldiers, one gun, one arrow hit the bridge!" Once the decision was made, Yuan Shao did not hesitate, and the battle of hundreds of thousands of soldiers also made him feel excited.

Seeing Xu You coming, Yuan Shao looked back at Xu You coldly. Ziyuan was resourceful, but unfortunately he was too narrow-minded and embarrassed. Yuan Shao continued to order in a deep voice: "The floating bridge was built, so that Jiang Qi's troops could cross the river with all their might and build a solid camp south of the Ji River, so as to attack the fortress of the Jiangdong Army. Zhang He, Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang's troops then unfolded on both sides of Jiang Qi's troops to support each other to stabilize defense. When the Gaoshun troops of the Jiangdong Army were defeated, our central army would be moved there. In this way, the Jiangdong Army tried to rely on the Ji River to block our army's plans to break!"

Shen Pei, Guo Tu, Xin Ping and others listened quietly while nodding frequently. In their opinion, Xu You's strategy was too dangerous, and division of troops has been a taboo since ancient times. Moreover, the Hebei army now has a large advantage in military strength and can completely defeat the Jiangdong army head-on and determine the Central Plains in one battle. Why bother to fight in a roundabout way?

Xu You was excited by Yuan Shao's cold gaze, and the original chaos in his head suddenly disappeared and became clear. The army was bound to build camps? This is a taboo for military strategists! Although Han Xin, the former Han general, attacked Zhao, walked out of Jingxingkou, and ordered the soldiers to set up a formation and fight against the enemy, Han Xin was facing a great enemy before and had no way of retreat to strengthen the soldiers' determination to win to the death, and eventually defeated the Zhao army, but this move was extremely dangerous. If the enemy was powerful and the attacks were continuous, the army would have no way out. Once the soldiers were desperate, their morale collapsed, and the result of the annihilation of the entire army was not impossible!

Xu Youfang wanted to get up and inform Yuan Shao of what he was thinking. As his eyes froze, he saw Guo Tu staring at him coldly. On the side of his eyes, Yuan Shao was proud to send generals to the generals with pride. A group of ingenious personal guards kept entering the account and leaving the account, and quickly delivered the general order to the generals.

"Let's forget it... Even if you say it, your lord may not listen... stubborn... stubborn..." Xu You sighed in his heart and sat down again with a little dejected look. Seeing this, Guo Tu's eyes flashed a few times, and took a few steps forward to make a look of comforting Xu You, but he quickly stopped, turned around and attached himself to Xin Ping's ear and said softly.

After hearing this, Xin Ping frowned slightly, and his eyes flashed quickly on Xu You, staying on Shen Pei with a righteous face, and shook his head slightly.

After everyone dispersed, Guo Tu and Xin Ping walked at the end and slowly walked to a remote corner of the camp. Xin Ping grabbed Guo Tu's sleeve and asked anxiously: "Public Ze, what you said just now is true?"

Guo Tu sneered and said, "How can the news from my confidants in my family be fake? I'm afraid Xu Ziyuan is doomed this time!"

Xin Ping shook his head slowly and said, "It may not be so. Even though Xu You was greedy for money and indulged his family to break the law, he had served his lord for a long time. If the lord treats him with a confidant, he will definitely not have any worries about his life. But... I waited far away and Feng Ji was in charge of Yecheng. When his lord was not around, he took advantage of his lord's absence and directly confiscated the Xu family. It is really heartbreaking... Zi Yuan has no conflict with us on weekdays, but I don't know if he can bear it after learning about this?"

Guo Tu's eyes flashed with a sharp light and he said angrily: "Xu You is not a good person, no matter what he does! Feng Ji, Shen Pei claimed to be upright and clear-headed, but he did this inappropriate behavior and repeatedly opposed us. When the eldest son came to power, he would definitely get rid of it!"
