C95

Gongsun Xu's gaze stayed on the map for a good while, then raised his head and asked Zhang Yan: "How did uncle deal with the camp going up first?"

"Hai, it's hard to explain in a single sentence!" Zhang Yan sighed, and nodded at Bai Ruo, indicating for him to speak.

Zhang Yan said sullenly: "Yuan Shao only sent one of them to the camp to disturb the Hejian County, this old man is too shameless! If nephew can annihilate all of them and get to the base first, this old man will definitely place wine to celebrate with you! "

"Don't worry, uncle!" Gongsun Xu patted his chest, and said self-confidently: "I'll take the first trip to the camp and take care of it for you!"

"Du Chang is the most familiar with the Hejian County. When nephew went to survey the topography, Zhang Yan saw how full of confidence he was, and thought of the big things he had done recently. Zhang Yan's confidence increased greatly.

"Reporting to Marshal, Yuan Shao's messenger is here."

"Envoy?" Everyone was startled, seeing that the battle was imminent, why did Yuan Shao send the envoys over? Persuade him to surrender? Send the written challenge? To sow discord?

"Who is the envoy?" Zhang Yan asked.

"The man called himself Xu Yun, he was Yuan Shao's advisor."

"So it's this greedy and lecherous villain!" Zhang Yan laughed in disdain, and casually waved his hand: "Let him in!"

Zhang Yan was too lazy to even say the word 'please', his expression was also filled with contempt, it was clear that he did not see Xu You as a threat, and Yang Feng and even Tao Sheng looked the same, because Xu You's reputation was just too terrible.

Eleven years ago, Xu You was an important advisor to Wang Fen, who was then a prefectural governor at that time. He had bewitched his many times to abolish the Han Dynasty, and replaced the Hefei Marquis, who was on good terms with him, with his as Emperor. After the matter had been leaked, Wang Fen committed suicide and Xu You had hidden away for many years without daring to reveal himself. Xu You, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao were young friends, so when Yuan Shao wanted to snatch the Jizhou, Xu You had gone to seek support. He strongly advised Yuan Shao to ally with Cao Cao Cao, and was very trusted by Yuan Shao. This person still had some tricks up his sleeves, but he was greedy for money and sex, arrogant and vindictive. Anyone who wanted to ask him for help would definitely not be able to agree without money or beauty.

Hearing Xu You's name, Gongsun Xu was startled, his luck was not good, but his insight was not bad. In another time and space battle, if not for the fact that this person had betrayed Yuan Shao because his family had been convicted, and defected to Cao Cao Cao, who only had a day's worth of food left, and offered a plan to burn down the dark nest granary, the final victor of the battle would have been none other than Yuan Shao. Since this Xu You was greedy for wealth and sex, he did not have any sort of loyalty, so if he used it well, Yuan Shao might be able to suffer a huge loss.

"Haha, I have long heard of Army of Heishan's Great Marshal Zhang Yan's straightforward hospitality. I only knew that the rumors were wrong when I saw him today!" Just as Gongsun Xu was deep in thought, a person walked in with a smile.

This person wore a black robe embroidered with gold thread, a golden crown on his head, and a pair of brand-new deerskin boots. He had a thick eyebrows and big eyes, his cheeks were square and straight, and he had a thin moustache on his face. He was Yuan Shao's messenger, Nanyang's.

Zhang Yan said indifferently: "Since this friend has come, this old man will naturally welcome you for a hundred miles! Xu Ziyuan, what are you doing here? "

Xu You looked left and right, and without waiting for anyone to greet him, he sat down beside Gongsun Xu, ignoring the angry look in Yang Feng's eyes, and said while shaking his head: "General Zhang's words are wrong! There is a saying that goes "as far as guests" and "as the saying goes, two armies fighting each other". This old man has taken up both sides, but General Zhang didn't even know how to treat this old man respectfully.

"How dare you!" Yang Feng shouted as he jumped out of the seat, his right hand quickly grabbing onto the sword hilt.

"How dare you!" Tao Sheng immediately stood up and pressed his hand on the blade hilt as he stared at Xu You: "Xu You, you are but a lowly subordinate of Yuan Shao, you dare to be disrespectful to my Great Marshal, do you want to test the speed of my blade?"

Xu You snorted, his expression full of contempt as he asked: "Are you Tao Sheng?"

Tao Sheng pulled out a small half of the blade, and said proudly: "That's me! "If you dare to spout nonsense again, I will chop off your head and make it into a wine bottle!"

Xu You snorted at Tao Sheng's threat, and laughed coldly: "You are just a loyal dog under the General Zhang, what qualifications do you have to talk to me?"

"This old man has gone too far. I swear I will not be a human until I kill you!" Tao Sheng was furious, with a clang, he pulled out his blade and walked towards Xu You.

Xu You's face did not reveal the slightest bit of fear, but he was sneering at Zhang Yan.

Gongsun Xu watched on coldly from the side. At this point in time, he had already confirmed that Xu You knew about the collusion between Yuan Shao and the white blade. Otherwise, how could such a greedy guy remain indifferent after seeing the white blade's power? Furthermore, Tao Sheng's timing of standing out and shouting was extremely clever, and it happened to block Yang Feng from moving forward.

Tao Sheng looked as though he was enraged, but his movements were very steady. When he arrived in front of Xu You, he shouted loudly and raised his blade, as if he was going to chop off Xu You's head in the next moment.

"Pinghan!" "Step down!" Zhang Yan finally opened his mouth to stop them.

Tao Sheng said angrily: "This man humiliated the great general and this lowly general, it will be hard to quell the hatred in my heart if I do not kill him!"

Zhang Yan waved his hand: "When two nations fight, if we don't kill, then we can use it. "You may leave!"

"If the marshal had not spoken, I would have let your head fall to the ground!" Tao Sheng glared at Xu You and threatened him fiercely, sheathed his blade, and sat back down.

Xu You cupped his hands towards Zhang Yan and said: "General Zhang is filled with loyal people, this old man truly admires this."

Zhang Yan said coldly: "This old man does not dare to accept your admiration! What brings you here today? "

Xu You extended three fingers and pinched the moustache, and said with a smile: "This old man has come to save the life of the great general!"

"Haha!" Zhang Yan laughed disdainfully, "Everyone says that Xu Ziyuan likes to scare people the most. If there is nothing else, please go back! "

Xu You sighed: "Even though the marshal is in danger, he did not know it, and even refused to listen to the words of loyalty. If the Great Marshal and Gongsun Zan were to join hands and deal with Yuan Shijun, once Yuan Shijun loses, the Army of Heishan would definitely be defeated! "

"Xu Ziyuan!" Gongsun Xu shouted and interrupted Xu You's words, laughing coldly: "You dare to use such insignificant skill to sow discord between us in front of the General Zhang, do you really think that the great marshal is a three year old child?"

Xu You rolled his eyes and asked: Who are you? This old man will speak with the General Zhang, what qualifications does he have to speak carelessly?! "

"Haha, what a joke!" Gongsun Xu laughed: "May I ask what stage you are at? How many soldiers and horses can we command? "

"Um …" Xu You did not reply, his expression was awkward and angry, this occupation was bestowed to him by Yuan Shao, if one were to talk about rank, he would be considered a lowly official of the eighth rank, and there were no subordinates, it was truly unpleasant to hear. The moment Xu You mentioned this, he became a little furious. He boasted that he had done a lot of work and was currently very trusted by Yuan Shao, but his position and power were inferior to Xia Ji, Guo Tu, and would often be ostracized by Guo Tu and the others.

Gongsun Xu said coldly: "A mere last resort official dares to utter such words in front of Shangguan, this is what you call disrespectful people!"

"And who are you?" Xu You asked as he furrowed his brows. In his heart, he had already roughly guessed Gongsun Xu's identity.

Gongsun Xu raised his head and said: "This general is the personal bodyguard of the imperial government, a fourth rank official, Academy Officer Wu Huan. I wonder who is the smaller between the two?"

It really was Gongsun Xu! Xu You couldn't help but be shocked. Today, Gongsun Xu's name had resounded throughout the Northern Territories, but he didn't expect that he was just a weakling like the rumors had said! He focused and carefully sized up Gongsun Xu, and when he saw Gongsun Xu's appearance, Xu You's heart skipped a beat. He and the famous Xu Shao Zi who was far away from home were cousins, so he was lucky enough to learn the basics of the art. Gongsun Xu's appearance could only be considered mediocre in his eyes, but his demeanor and bearing was extraordinary, with a high forehead and a high nose, his eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, and was shockingly the world filled with ambition!

"This old man was depressed and had no ambitions under Yuan Benchu's account. This time, I was even scolded by Guo Tu, and was sent to be this slut's messenger. Originally, I was extremely angry, but I never thought that I would meet someone as formidable as Cao Cao Cao. If Yuan Benchu were to lose this Jizhou Battle, Gongsun Zanfuzi's strength would become even stronger, maybe in the future, this child would truly be able to do it.

Xu You wanted to leave a way out for himself, but immediately changed his attitude and cupped his hands: So it's General Gongsun Zimin, I was rude, I hope General does not blame me!

Zhang Yan, Tao Sheng and the rest were all surprised. This Xu You had high standards, they did not expect him to be so courteous to Gongsun Xu.

"As the saying goes, those who do not know are not guilty, and I have not revealed my identity. There's no need to mention this matter anymore!" Gongsun Xu magnanimously waved his hand, and then smiled and asked: "It's just that I have something that I don't understand, I hope that Mr. Xu can enlighten me."

"I don't dare!" Xu You cupped his hands: "General, please tell me, this old man will tell you anything."

Seeing that Xu You was easy to talk to, Tao Sheng could not help but frown, his gaze sweeping back and forth between Gongsun Xu and, trying to find some clues.

"I have long heard of the Mr. Xu's astute and astute people. I wonder, if Sir, Guo Tu and the others compare, who is stronger?"

"Of course! This old man is more intelligent than them!" "It's just that this old man views power as nothing, and is only willing to obtain Yuan Shijun's trust. That's why I only have to perform a small part of my duties."

"What a pity!" Gongsun Xu shook his head and sighed: "Mr. Xu has always been a great talent, but it can only be a small occupation. If it was my Youzhou, he would at least be a fourth or fifth grade official! Could you tell if Mr. Xu knows Guo Jia? "

"Of course!" Xu You nodded in astonishment. "A few months ago, Guo Jia was still working for Yuan Shijun, but now he has suddenly disappeared. Could it be that Guo Jia went to the Youzhou?"

"Mr. Xu is indeed smart!" Gongsun Xu clapped his hands while praising, and laughed: "Guo Fengxiao is currently the military instructor of White Horse Camp, his rank is one thousand stones, and among all of White Horse Camp, he is the only one below me! I have also heard Feng Xiao talk about mister before, he is extremely respectful towards mister! I wonder what Mr. Xu thinks of Feng Xiao? "

When Xu You heard that Guo Jia had become the White Horse Camp's advisor, he looked extremely unhappy. When he heard the following two words, his eyes immediately lit up. He thought to himself, if that brat Guo Fengxiao can stay in a high position, could it be that this old man will be weaker than him? This Gongsun Xu was indeed not an ordinary person, he actually dared to let the unknown Guo Jia hold such an important position in the army, such a person, compared to the ungrateful Yuan Shao, was actually many times stronger!

Unknowingly, Xu You was attracted by Gongsun Xu's words, and completely forgot about his mission, as they chatted and laughed, and started to talk about Guo Jia.
