    "Yuan Jun has retreated, Yuan Jun has retreated!" With a long tone, Cao Jun's reconnaissance cavalry came from afar, galloping and shouting from the horse, with excitement beyond words.  Everything turned out as Cao Cao expected. On the morning of the third day after the Battle of Wuchao, Yuan Shao's army broke camp and retreated to the northeast, aiming for Liyang. This finally made Cao Cao and his civil and military staff heave a sigh of relief.  "Hahait's just as I expected!" Cao Cao stood outside the camp gate, with his hands behind his back, looking into the wilderness that was gradually turning green. He felt bright and cheerful, and he had the ambition to compose a poem.  "My lord has a wonderful plan, I can't wait!" Standing behind Cao Cao, many aides headed by Guo Jia, Jia Xu, Xun You and others bowed and praised, sincerely convinced of Cao Cao's judgment.  "In the past few days, the food supply of all soldiers has been reduced by half. They moved camp south and withdrew their troops back to Xuchang. Cao Zixiao and Li Mancheng led their troops eastward and stationed themselves in Dongjun to guard against harassment by Yuan's army. Then they sent people into Zhongmu County to purchase food from major gentry families. If  If you can't buy it, use some tough measures!" Cao Cao waved his sleeves and made a decisive decision.  It's a pity that the army only has a day or two of surplus food. If the white feather cavalry hadn't burned the food suddenly, Cao Jun could have followed and attacked to win a greater victory. Thinking of such a good opportunity slipping away from his eyes,  Cao Cao sighed with regret subconsciously.  Jia Xu was ordered to go to Zhongmou City to buy grain. He used both soft and hard tactics. In less than a day, he produced 18,000 shi of grain. For a small county town, this was already the maximum amount that could be squeezed out.  Cao¡¯s 70,000-strong army lost 23,000 men and 47,000 soldiers, consuming nearly 1,200 grains every day.  The 18,000 shi of food that Jia Xu raised was enough to ensure consumption for half a month. By then, the army could return to Xuchang, and the crisis was over.  Having obtained the food, Cao Ren and Li Dian led 17,000 people eastward towards Puyang, the seat of the East County. This has always been Cao Ren's base camp and the front line against Jizhou.  Only if Cao Ren is stationed here can Cao Cao be reassured.  After watching Cao Ren and Li Dian lead their troops to the east, Cao Cao mounted his horse and led his troops back to Xuchang.  A few days later, the spies who returned from Yecheng quietly entered Cao's camp and reported what they had learned about the Xu family from Yecheng. Cao Cao's face turned frosty.  After listening, he signaled the spies to step back and keep quiet.  When night fell, Cao Cao held a banquet in honor of Xu You in the commander's tent. Xu You accepted the invitation and happily went to the appointment.  "Come on, Ziyuan. Cao Cao gives you a toast! This time, we were able to burn down Wuchao and burn down Yuan Shao's food and grass, all thanks to your efforts!" In Cao Cao's handsome tent, Cao Cao, the commander-in-chief of the three armies, confronted Xu You.  Sitting there, toasting and drinking together, there were only this pair of old friends in the huge tent.  This kind of treatment made Xu You very satisfied.  Only in this way can he show his unique identity. He and Cao Cao have been old friends for many years. How can they be compared to the likes of Guo Jia and Xun You?  "Haha Meng De, you're welcome!" In order to show that he has an extraordinary relationship with Cao Cao, Xu You did not call his lord, but directly called Cao Cao by his cousin: "We are old friends, and you are still just a captain.  I've known you since that time, even earlier than Yuan Shao! If I don't help you, who will help you? Speaking of which, my contribution to defeating Yuan Shao this time is second to none!  , In terms of credit, Brother Ziyuan really deserves the most credit!" Cao Cao smiled and raised his glass, but there was a trace of murderous intent in his eyes, but Xu You, who was drunk, was completely unaware of it.  Xu You picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank it all in one gulp.  He repeatedly praised: "Good wine, good wine!" He put down his wine glass, tore off a piece of chicken leg and ate it happily. While eating, he said: "Mengde. In fact, if you listen to me and send a light cavalry to attack Xuchang, you  Life will be difficult Tsk, what a pity, Benchu ??didn't listen!" After hearing Xu You's words, Cao Cao was slightly shocked.  Xuchang has his sons Cao Pi and Xun Yu garrisoned. Moreover, the city walls are high and thick, and light cavalry can penetrate deeply. It is easy to reach the city by surprise, but it is not an easy task to break the city, but it is not difficult to cut off one's own grain and grass transportation.  After the Battle of Wuchao, if Yuan Shao had been more courageous, insisted on not retreating, and divided his troops to raid his Xuchang grain road, the situation would have been difficult for him!  "Xu You, Xu You, you really deserve to die!" Cao Cao picked up the wine glass in front of him, drank it all in one gulp, and said with a cold smile.  Xu You also looked up to the sky and laughed: "Haha, for a smart man like me, would Meng De be willing to let me die?" Cao Cao also responded with a laugh: "Haha Compared to older men, I, Cao Cao, am more  If you like women, don't you feel a little uncomfortable in your abdomen?After listening to Cao Cao's words, Xu You felt a slight discomfort in his abdomen, his face suddenly changed, and he asked in surprise: "Meng Lord, Mr. Cao, are you joking with You?" "Do you think I'm joking?  ?" Cao Cao shook his head, with a mocking expression in his eyes. He didn't know that he was about to die. He was really a pathetic and ridiculous wretch. There are people who are a little smart, but always look like they are stupid and wise.  Xu You is exactly that!  The poison began to take effect, and Xu You felt cramps in his abdomen. Blood spilled from the corners of his mouth. He asked with a face of pain and confusion: "Why? What's wrong with me? Do you want to treat me like this?" Cao Cao responded with contempt.  Yixiao: "There is a saying that there is a saying that even a clever lie has flaws. Not to mention that your lie is far from clever!" The intense poison has made Xu You unable to sit still, and he curled up on the ground in pain.  He struggled and said, "Do you think my surrender was fake? You were deceived, Cao A'hao, Cao A'hao, I never thought that you were also deceived. When you laughed at me, you were actually a pathetic person!"  Without anger, getting angry with a dying person is what stupid people do. He poured a glass of wine and said while drinking: "My Cao Cao's code of conduct is, 'I would rather let the world betray me than let the world betray me.  "And another sentence is that I would rather kill ten thousand people by mistake than let one go!" After saying that, he raised his head and drank the wine in the cup, stood up and strode out of the handsome tent.  Xu You was left alone on the ground struggling and groaning in pain. A moment later, he bled to death from his seven orifices.  A few days later, Xu You's head was delivered to Yuan Shao. At this moment, Yuan Shao's army was retreating to the Liyang area, with less than 200 miles left to Ye County.  "Thief, what are you doing today? I owe you so much kindness. Not only did you take bribes and enrich your own pockets, but you even proposed a plan to burn down the Wuchao to Cao A'hao. How vicious are you?" He glared at Xu You.  Yuan Shaoyu's anger was still lingering on the slightly rotten smell of the human head, and he cursed angrily.  After the scolding, I felt a little better.  Over the past few days, the bad breath stuck in my heart has finally been released a little.  He glanced at Yuan Shang, Feng Ji, Chen Lin and others around him, and praised Yuan Mai's strategy: "Look at it, look at it, my son Xian Yong has a strategy, and he doesn't waste a single soldier. Just  Let a husband like Xu You be the head of the family. I never expected that such a talent would appear in my Yuan family. It is really a blessing for the Yuan family!" Seeing his father's generous words of praise for Yuan Mai, Yuan Shang felt very uncomfortable, and a sense of crisis arose spontaneously.  , spread rapidly throughout the body.  This boy has now shaken his position in his father's heart, and it's time to take measures!  "Xianfu! Although your martial arts are excellent, you lack strategy. On this point, you should learn from your fourth brother!" Yuan Shao was completely unaware of Yuan Shang's changes. He stroked his beard and taught his favorite son earnestly.  A few words.  Yuan Shang's eyes became even more resentful, and he lowered his head unwillingly and accepted the order: "My child will obey your father's teachings!" Yuan Shao nodded and gave the order: "Go to Yecheng quickly and ask the judge to take Xu You's family into custody. Collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country is not a crime.  Forgive me, kill everyone, leave no one behind!" A fast horse took Yuan Shao's official letter and galloped towards Yecheng.  Early the next morning, Xu You's son Xu Ning was sleeping soundly with his concubine in his arms when he was taken out of the bed by an armored guard; more than 100 members of the Xu family were arrested.  He was not put in jail again, but was taken directly to Caishikou, where he was executed on the spot, leaving no one behind, no matter the young or old.  The team walked for another two days.  There were only sixty miles away from Ye County. That evening, we set up camp in Changle County, south of Ye County.  Taking advantage of the chaotic moment of setting up camp, a muscular man dressed as Yuan Bing quietly entered Yuan Shang's camp with a black hound, and went to the big tent to pay homage to Yuan Shang. His whereabouts were mysterious.  This man is from Yecheng and is Mrs. Liu¡¯s nephew. His name is Liu Han.  He usually makes a living by raising dogs, but thanks to Mrs. Liu's power, he becomes a tyrant in Ye County, bullying men and women, seizing fertile land, and doing all kinds of evil.  Moreover, Liu Han raised many hunting dogs and was unique in dog training. He could train ferocious fighting dogs to be docile and do whatever he wanted.  "Greetings to the young master, I set off immediately after being summoned by my aunt. What are your instructions?" Liu Han bowed and saluted.  Yuan Shang nodded, and lowered his voice solemnly: "Tomorrow you will be among the team, following my father and I. When the team reaches Tulong Ridge, you will let the hound secretly take a bite of my father's mount. The beast will be frightened.  "Go crazy, the Tulong Ridge is full of rocks. If you fall off your horse, you will definitely escape death" Unexpectedly, Yuan Shang sent people to recruit him into the team with great enthusiasm. It was actually to deal with Yuan Shao, which only frightened Liu Han to the point where he was sweating and murmuring.  Dao?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????This is a serious crime of confiscating the family?  The family will be destroyed, and your reputation will be wiped out! If you do this well, I guarantee that you will be able to do whatever you want in Yecheng!" Liu Han thought for a moment and thought, anyway, the army was attacked.  Not many people knew me, so I quietly gave a hint to the dog, asking it to bite Yuan Shao's mount, and then let it run away without anyone noticing!  "Okay, let's give it a try! Don't break your promise to me with the wealth and honor my cousin promised me!" Yuan Shao was eager to return to Yecheng, so he urged his army to set off as soon as the sky became dim the next day.  Wen Chou led his troops to lead the way. Yuan Shao led Feng Ji, Yuan Shang, Chen Lin and others in the middle of the team, meandering all the way, with flags fluttering, heading north.  "After passing Tulong Ridge, we will reach Yecheng. We can finally take a restcough!" Yuan Shao pointed the riding whip at the rugged Tulong Ridge in the troubled times and sighed. This time the expedition to cross the river to the south was another failure. I don't know why.  When can the Central Plains be settled?  The morning wind in March is still biting and the flags are blowing loudly.  Suddenly there was a "click", the strong wind blew off a flag with the word "Yuan", and the frightened horses neighed.  Chen Lin suddenly changed her color and immediately suggested: "The wind blows and the flag folds, which is an ominous sign. Lord, please be more careful!" Yuan Shang retorted coldly: "The weather is suddenly warm and then cold, the spring breeze is biting, the flagpole is old, and it is still in use.  There is no need to make a fuss about the moths being blown away by the strong wind. "Yuan Shao also agreed: "I can escape completely even if I have reached Yecheng, so why should I go all out to the north?  After passing this mountain ridge, you will reach Yecheng!" The large group of people meandered along the mountain road, like a long black snake.  After several battles, the team was reorganized. Most of the soldiers did not know each other. Liu Han was dressed as a soldier and blended in with the military. He was inconspicuous and no one would notice that this guy had ulterior motives.  I saw him quietly following Yuan Shangma, only a few feet away from Yuan Shao. There was a black dog wagging its tail closely following him on the roadside. No one realized that something big was about to happen!  When we walked to Tulong Ridge, the morning wind became more violent, flags were flying, sand and rocks were flying, and the wind blew so hard that people couldn't open their eyes, and they raised their arms to shield themselves from the wind and sand.  Liu Han took the opportunity to signal to the black dog. The well-trained hound quickly got under Yuan Shao's mount, bit him at the vital part, and then quickly ran into the ravine on the roadside and disappeared without a trace.  Trace "Whew" Yuan Shao's mount stood up in pain, neighing and shaking. In an instant, Yuan Shao, who was in poor health, was thrown off the horse, fell unconscious, and then rolled into the ravine "  Father!" "Lord?" Everyone present was shocked and stunned.  Yuan Shang was the first to jump into the ditch, helped Yuan Shao up, and roared loudly. Yuan Shao was unconscious with blood on his forehead.  "What a disaster from heaven, send your lord to Yecheng for medical treatment quickly!" Seeing Yuan Shao with blood on his face, Chen Lin couldn't help but sigh up to the sky, and sent people to quickly call Wen Chou in front to come back to escort him.  Wen Chou was so frightened that he was rewarded. He led three hundred cavalry to rush away from the team and went straight to the scene of the accident. He personally carried the unconscious Yuan Shao on his shoulders and rode with him towards Yecheng.  Yuan Shang, Feng Ji, Chen Lin and other heavyweights from the Hebei Legion also mounted their horses and followed them into Yecheng.  The large group of troops was led by Lu Kuang, Lu Xiang, Su You, Han Juzi and others from behind, and marched slowly towards Yecheng.  Wen Chou entered Yecheng as quickly as possible and arrived at the Prefectural Mufu Mansion. Wen Chou got off his horse, rushed into the mansion with the unconscious Yuan Shao in his arms, and shouted to the approaching judge: "Recruit a doctor quickly, my lord, it's a big deal."  Not good!¡±
