Three Kingdoms: Gou Shen I was overheard by Cao Cao

Page 561

While trying to break Cao Cao, he was waiting for food and grass support.

And the soldiers changed from big fights to small fights, and were tired day and night, so they must not have enough to eat.

Resentment gradually accumulated!

"Congliang! It's been five days, and I only used up the food and grass of the previous two days! If this continues, I'm afraid I can really survive fifteen days!"

"It's just that there seems to be complaints in the army! I'm afraid that the morale of the army will change!"

Yuan Shao sat in the military tent, looking at Li Congliang exhausted physically and mentally.

He has been tortured enough by Cao Cao these days!

If he hadn't been working day and night to repair the earthen city, and Cao Cao was reluctant to attack by soldiers, he would have been defeated long ago.

The other party nodded indifferently.

At this moment, there was a commotion outside!The two chief ministers in the military tent could hear clearly.

"I can't even eat enough! What kind of battle are you fighting? Why don't you surrender as soon as possible!"

"That's right! The Yuan family is shit! They also said that the Yuan family is so powerful that they can't even support soldiers!"

"Brothers! I can't go on fighting, like this kind of master who doesn't treat us as human beings, but only knows how to exploit! Let's not follow! Work day and night, and don't give us enough food, how can there be such a person?"

A few words aroused the resonance and echo of many soldiers.

Everyone raised their weapons and shouted: "Quit! We won't fight anymore! Surrender! We surrender to Cao Cao! They can all eat enough, and they even have meat occasionally!"

Hearing these movements, Yuan Shao panicked!

Because once the soldiers mutiny, it is very difficult to stop!

People fight for a bite of food, but in the end he can't even provide food, so who will work hard for him?

"Congliang! What should I do? Didn't you say there is a way? Solve this matter quickly!"

"I did as you said, don't let me down!"

Yuan Shao seemed to be discussing, but in fact, there was a little threat in his words.

He felt that he had a lot of talents under his command, one more counselor was not too many, and one less was not too many!

If it wasn't for the handsome appearance of this guy at the beginning, how could he have fallen in love with him?

If the other party makes him dissatisfied, he doesn't mind letting the other party say goodbye to the world.

Li Congliang smiled slightly.

"My lord, you can call Xu You here, and my subordinates will naturally handle it properly!"

Chapter 654 Yuan Shao: Xu You, I want to borrow your head

Listening to Li Congliang's words, Yuan Shao waved to his personal guards.

"Go! Find Xu You! I have something to do!"

The guards lead the way!

At this moment, two good partners, Xu You and Zhang Yun, are still trying their best to appease the soldiers.

If it was really because of mutiny, then things would explode, and the situation would be difficult to control!

"Everyone! Don't worry! Food and grass are already on the way! My lord will surely fill you up!"

Xu You shouted at the crowd, but his voice was overshadowed by the resistance of the crowd.

Xu You sighed weakly!

"Hey! Junyi! What should I do? With my lord's temperament, he must be asking me for the mutiny caused by food!"

"But where do I get food and grass for them to eat? If I say so, I can withdraw the troops. Then Li Congliang is doing a small fight to distribute it! He really treats the people of the world as idiots!"

Zhang Yun patted him on the shoulder and comforted him.

"Ziyuan, don't be afraid! You are also the old minister of the lord, and a childhood playmate, the lord will not blame you!"

"And Li Congliang said, he has a way, let's see how he handles it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yuan Shao's personal guards found the two of them.

"Mr. Xu, my lord welcomes you!"

Xu You and Zhang Yun looked at each other, their gazes became a little serious.

"Junyi, you don't understand, I know better than you what kind of person the lord is! Alas! At the very least, scolding is indispensable!"

Xu You shook his head irritably, and led Zhang He towards the military tent.

The heart is also secretly ruthless!

Even after thinking for many days, he couldn't think of a way to slow down the food supply. If Li Congliang couldn't come up with a solution today, then he, Xu You, would definitely drag him into the water!

It must be much easier for two people to bear a share of anger!

With an idea, Xu You straightened up a lot.

At the gate of the military tent, Zhang He separated from Xu You, and Yuan Shao only summoned Xu You, so he could only eavesdrop outside the military tent.

After entering the military tent, Li Congliang and Yuan Shao were already waiting.

"My lord! This subordinate is appeasing the soldiers. Why did you ask me to come?"

Xu You bowed his hands and saluted.

Yuan Shao looked at him with a serious face, Li Congliang had already told him the plan before.

He also understood what he should do!

"Soldiers mutiny, what are the consequences?"

"The consequences are unimaginable! The soldiers defected and the morale of the army was slackened. Our Jizhou army will be destroyed without attack!"

Xu You didn't even think about it, and answered directly.

Yuan Shao nodded and clapped his hands.

"Okay! That's right! Now our army is facing a mutiny, and Mr. Li offered me a plan. Only one thing is needed to stabilize the morale of the army!"

Xu You's eyes lit up, and he glanced at Li Congliang in disbelief.

"Just one thing can stabilize the morale of the army? Is there such a fetish? I don't know...wait...what's the meaning of this, my lord?"

Before he finished speaking, a bad feeling flashed in Xu You's mind.

With his intelligence, he also realized what Li Congliang was planning at this moment.

Yuan Shao held the sword in his hand, every time he took a step closer to Xu You, the opponent took a step back.

"Ziyuan! We are childhood playmates and classmates, and now we are still ministers! We are very close, right?"

Xu You nodded in fear.

"Darling! I, Xu You, asked Jizhou myself that we have the best relationship, but my lord..."

Before finishing speaking, Yuan Shao interrupted.

"Hey! Since you know that we are close, that's fine!"

"Our relationship is really good, and I trust you to value you. I will let you manage even such important things as food and grass!"

"On weekdays, you rely on your relationship with me to be proud of your talents, bully and despise your colleagues, and I turn a blind eye! It can be said that you are not treated poorly!"

The more Yuan Shao said, the more disturbed Xu You was!

He even wanted to run away a little bit, now that he had finished speaking, he understood, and understood Li Congliang's strategy!

But there is still a little luck in his heart, he doesn't think that the friendship of so many years can't be worth these food and grass.

"My lord, what do you mean, please explain clearly!"

"Hehe, with your intelligence, you can definitely think of it. Is it as obvious as I said?"

"Raise you for a thousand days, use you for a while!"

"I, Yuan Shao, want to use your head to strengthen the morale of the army!"

"Don't worry, after you leave, I will take care of your wife, and I will take care of your son! I will treat them better than you! What do you think? Based on our friendship, you will not help with this, right?"

Hearing this, Xu You felt ashamed!

"Li Congliang! This is your plan for the lord? You are so cruel, vicious and despicable!"

Even Zhang Yun outside the military tent was shocked beyond belief!

He didn't expect that Yuan Shao would take the blame on Xu You, an old minister!

Li Congliang put his hands in his sleeves, expressionless, completely ignoring Xu You's scolding.

"No! My lord! From now on, I, Xu You, will never be proud of my talents! Let me go!"

"You see, we have been friends for many years, and my subordinates have advised you so many times. There is hard work without credit! Please let me go!"

Xu You panicked, immediately knelt down and kept kowtowing!

Unmoved, Yuan Shao flicked the sword in his hand, and raised his sword to strike!

"Ziyuan, in the next life, let's talk about it in the next life! In this life, you will contribute to my hegemony one last time! I, Yuan Shao, will remember your kindness! Goodbye..."

Yuan Shao swung his sword down, causing Xu You's liver and gallbladder to burst!

If he could see through Li Congliang's strategy earlier, he would definitely not come in.

At this critical moment, the military tent was knocked open, and Zhang Yun rushed in!

With an anxious expression on his face, he yelled: "My lord! Be merciful! Don't kill him!"

Chong…

The long sword rested on Xu You's neck, and Yuan Shao looked at Zhang Yun with a frown.

"Jun Yi? Why are you here? Xu You embezzled the army's salary and caused the soldiers to not have enough to eat. Why can't I kill him?"

Hearing these high-sounding words, Zhang Yun's expression was complicated.

"My lord, everything that happened just now... I heard it from outside!"

"I know who Ziyuan is! My lord, you don't have to be like this! If you kill him...I'm afraid the generals will be dissatisfied and everyone will be in danger!"

Hearing this, Yuan Shao's face darkened, and after a change, Yuan Shao sighed!

Pretending to be sad and painful, he helped Xu You up!

Yuan Shao knew that with Zhang He around today, it would be difficult to kill Xu You!

"Ziyuan! I, Yuan Shao, have also been forced to do nothing. There is no other way! I can only do this!"

"I believe that you...will forgive me, right?"

Yuan Shao pretended to be crying bitterly, and even patted the dust for Xu You.

Xu You was still in shock. After walking on the death line, his whole body was shaking!

"My lord... my lord... I, I... I forgive you!"

"However, if you kill me, I'm afraid those old ministers will lose their loyalty in the future! Why don't we take a step back and use the lieutenant to take the blame?"

"You spare my life. In the future, I will do my best, and I will never be arrogant, nor will I do anything wrong with my lord's relationship!"

Yuan Shao sighed!The face is very helpless!

In fact, he scolded Zhang He bloody in his heart!

If it weren't for the lack of powerful generals, he would even want to kill Zhang Yun, a villain!

"Although the adjutant's effect is not as good as Ziyuan's, I'm afraid he can't completely calm the army's morale, but now... that's the only way to go!"

"Come on! Go and call the deputy general Wang Mo in!"

After a period of time, the plot in the military tent was staged again!

This time Zhang He didn't intercede anymore. He and Xu You had a really good relationship, so there was nothing he could do about it.

As for Wang Mo... Sorry, I'm not familiar!

So he can only be sacrificed to calm the morale of the army!
