Lu Bu’s Life Simulator

Chapter 73 Good Policy

For two consecutive days, Dong Zhuo no longer saw him, but Li Ru came to see him, which made Xu You's heart sink. At this time, he didn't know that his plan might be seen through by the other party.

Li Ru's smiling expression appeared in his mind every time he met, Xu You cursed inwardly, it seems that there are capable people around Dong Zhuo, he thought things were simple, now he should think of a way out.

That night, Xu You pretended to be drunk and left the camp without telling the truth.

On the gate, watching Xu You's back disappear into the night, Xu Rong came to Li Ru, frowned and said, "Why did Wenyou let this person go?"

"If he doesn't leave, how can the princes fight among themselves?" Li Ru looked at the direction Xu You was leaving with a sneer on the corner of his mouth, turned to look at Xu Rong and said, "General Xu, it may not be long before this Cheng Gao will return to our army. hands."

Xu Rong nodded, and didn't ask any further questions. This kind of matter is out of his control. All he can think about now is how to control the rhythm of attacking Chenggao in his own hands.

On the other side, after the prison was closed, Yuan Shao, who was full of hope that Xu You would bring him a turnaround, was waiting for Xu You to return from despair. He couldn't restrain his already anxious state of mind at that time, and he slapped the table and said angrily: " What did you say at the beginning, I tried my best to persuade the princes to wait for a turnaround, and what I waited for was your words!? How do you tell me to face the princes!?"

Although he didn't scold anyone, to Xu You, it was no different from scolding, and his already bad face was even uglier.

Seeing this, Cao Cao hurriedly stepped forward to smooth things over and said: "Don't be angry at the beginning. Although Ziyuan lost, his original intention was to seek for the beginning. Victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs. How can everything in the world be as expected? Although he lost , I’ll think of a countermeasure later.”

"If you didn't have this ability, you shouldn't have boasted in the first place!" Yuan Shao said with a cold snort as he tossed his sleeves.

Xu You's face was ashamed, and it was even more ugly. These words were close to pointing at his nose and scolding trash.

People need face, not to mention that among celebrities, they should be careful when speaking to the point. Yuan Shao said in front of Cao Cao that he didn't give Xu You any face, which made him feel so embarrassed.

"You are incompetent, so I won't be an eyesore here. Let me leave." Xu You clasped his fists at the two of them, turned around and left after speaking.

"Ziyuan..." Cao Cao yelled and didn't stop him. He turned his head to look at Yuan Shao with a gloomy face, and sighed slightly: "What's the use of being angry now? The most urgent thing is to think about countermeasures."

"Meng De, I'll wait... let's withdraw the troops." Yuan Shao hesitated for a moment, looked at Cao Cao and said.

Why did you go early?

Cao Cao felt that his chest was a little blocked. The day before yesterday, he told you whether to withdraw or not. Now Dong Zhuo probably guessed what they were thinking. At this time, if he wanted to withdraw, he couldn't. Xu You, what kind of work can you do if you don't have the skills?

However, rationality made Cao Cao suppress this impulse. He looked at Yuan Shao and said, "At first, if he retreats at this time, Dong Zhuo will not give up. If he retreats at this time, there will be Lv Bu harassing him from behind. I'll wait for each one to be defeated."

"But if you don't retreat, may the princes agree?" Yuan Shao said with an annoyed expression on his face.

"Yes!" Cao Cao rolled his eyes, nodded, and went to the door to ask a guard to bring Xu You back. The next thing is up to Xu You.

"What's Meng De's plan?" After Xu You came in, he asked in a mixed voice.

However, Cao Cao had already handed Yuan Shao and Xu You a copy of the imperial edict to read. He turned a deaf ear to Xu You's words, but pointed to the edict: "This action can solve the urgent need, but if you want to protect yourself, you need to think of another strategy. .”

"I agree to withdraw the troops, but the condition is that the princes of the towns will be handed over to the court?" Yuan Shao looked at the edict for a while, then stroked his palms and said, "Wonderful, if this is the case, the princes will not dare to retreat easily!"

Cao Cao's statement is obviously a hypocritical edict, but Xu You has just returned from Dong Zhuo's camp. Everyone knows this. Once the edict to demand the heads of the princes is released, it is said that Dong Zhuo agreed to reconcile the conditions. Of course, the names of the princes cannot be written in full. In fact, in that case, it will only make people suspicious. Cao Cao wrote the names of Kong Rong, Yuan Shu, Tao Qian, Kong Xiu, and Liu Dai here. Except for Kong Rong and Yuan Shu, these five people are all governors of a state, and they are soldiers and horses. It is also the most.

Kong Rong is a great Confucianist in the country, and he has a very high reputation among scholars. As for Yuan Shu, it goes without saying that although he is not the governor of a state, Yuan Shu is undoubtedly the strongest in terms of overall strength. In the car, the other princes couldn't get away even if they wanted to.

Xu You glanced at Cao Cao with some jealousy. He had just lost someone, but now Cao Cao has come up with such a clever plan. No matter how he thinks about it, he feels that Cao Cao is targeting him.

Cao Cao didn't have the time to care so much. After getting the consent of the two, he decisively made a decision and sent someone to notify Yuan Shu, Kong Rong, Tao Qian and other five princes to come and discuss things.

"Leader, it's not that we don't want to defeat the enemy, but now the retreat is cut off. If we don't leave, it will be difficult." Kong Xiu said directly after entering.

"I also know the feelings of the gentlemen. The current situation is indeed irreversible. Shao previously asked Ziyuan to go to Dong Zhuo's camp to negotiate to see if a reconciliation can be made. It's just..." Yuan Shao raised the imperial edict in his hand and handed it over to Dong Zhuo. Cao Cao said: "Everyone, it's not that Shao is greedy for the position of the leader of the alliance. It's just that Shao is the leader of the alliance, and you trust me. We will go to the country together. Now that the situation is in danger, Shao is unwilling to sacrifice your lives to protect my future!"

After Cao Cao read the edict, his complexion changed slightly, and he handed the edict to Yuan Shu beside him.

After Yuan Shu glanced at the edict, he threw the edict to Kong Xiu and said angrily, "Dong Zhuo is a thief, what is his origin? What qualifications do we have to convict us?"

After Kong Xiu saw it, his complexion turned pale. If this was the case, even if the retreat was successful, Dong Zhuo might have to settle accounts with him. This soldier cannot retreat!

"Leader, we have joined forces this time for righteousness. Now that Dong Zhuo is aggressive, we can't weaken our strength. It's just the current situation. I don't know what clever plan the leader has to retreat from the enemy?" Tao Qian closed the edict, After frowning and thinking for a moment, he handed the edict to Kong Rong and asked at the same time.

"It was because there was nothing to do that I made peace with that Dong thief. I didn't expect that Dong thief to be so domineering." Yuan Shao sighed. Deke has a good plan?"

"..." Cao Cao, who was groping his chin and thinking about how to get out, was speechless when he heard the words. I don't have a good plan, and you don't know what to do?

Looking at the eyes of everyone, Cao Cao laughed dryly, and thought: "The Xiliang army is strong now, and I can't wait for a head-on confrontation, but try to contact the Hedong clan to see if they can help me?"
