Yuan Shao stood on the large arena with his hands behind his back, watching Yan Liang teaching his blade techniques with a smile on his face. The afternoon sun shone on his body, drawing a long shadow with it.

Whether it was reading or practicing martial arts, Yuan Shang had improved very quickly. Compared to his two older brothers, Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi, it was obvious that he was intelligent, and this was one of the reasons why Yuan Shao liked him so much. Many times, as long as Yan Liang demonstrated it once, Yuan Shang would be able to learn about 70-80% of it.

"Here." Yuan Shang kept his blade and respectfully bowed to Yan Liang.

Yan Liang nodded, he walked to Yuan Shao and cupped his hands: "Master, why have you come today?"

"Just now, I sent a scout to report that Xu Ziyuan was already five kilometers outside of the city. This old man thought that you would definitely want to know the exact information on Wen Chou as soon as possible, so I came here, and ordered someone to tell Xu You that you came straight here." Yuan Shao's face showed worry, and he explained the reason why he was here.

Yan Liang's face immediately became gloomy, as if he was muttering to himself, or asking Yuan Shao questions. He said softly, "Brother Wen Chou, you should be fine, right?"

Yuan Shao remained silent. Previously, when he reported that he did not see Wen Chou travelling together with him, his heart had sunk to the bottom, so he was 80% sure that Wen Chou was right. There were no good fortune in the nine, so he quickly rushed to the army camp. Afraid that Yan Liang, who was on par with him, would do something irrational upon hearing the news.

Yan Liang sighed and bowed: "Master, please wait in the tent."

"Sure." Yuan Shao nodded and instructed Yuan Shang: "Xian Fu, you should go back to the residence to bathe and change."

After Yuan Shang left, Yuan Shao followed Yan Liang inside the general's tent. Just as he sat down to serve tea, someone reported loudly from outside.

"My lord, the Mr. Xu is in the army camp!"

"Let him in."

After a while, Xu You walked into the big tent and bowed to Yuan Shao.

"Zi Yuan, don't stand on ceremony. Where's Wen Chou?" Yuan Shao waved his hands and asked impatiently.

Xu You said apologetically: "My lord, this subordinate is ashamed to be unable to bring General Wen Chou's corpse back."

"What?" Little brother Wen Chou died? " Hearing that, Yan Liang jumped up, he rushed to Xu You's front and grabbed his collar and shouted: "Xu Ziyuan, Ru An dares to speak nonsense and curse Little Brother Wen Chou! Little Brother Wen Chou is actually safe and sound, right? "

Xu You's body was thin and weak, he could be said to be powerless, but now that he was grabbed by the collar, it was immediately difficult to breathe. He wanted to say something, but his face quickly turned red.

"Yan Liang, stop right now!" Yuan Shao was surprised, and quickly shouted for her to stop.

Hearing Yuan Shao's shout, Yan Liang was stunned and slowly let go of his hands, but he continued to use his angry gaze to stare at Xu You. Actually, Yan Liang was very clear in his heart that Xu You would not joke about such matters. His actions just now were merely because he did not want to accept this fact, and at the same time, wanted to vent out his grief and anger with Xu You.

Xu You bent his body as he covered his chest and coughed severely, the anger and shame in his heart was incomparable. He had lived for half a lifetime, but this was the first time he was treated like this! If he could not beat Yan Liang, even if the other party was Yuan Shao's most trusted general, he would still beat this fellow to death!

'Peasant, this old man will make your entire family die without a burial ground! ' Xu You gasped for breath and cursed in his heart.

"Zi Yuan, are you alright?" Yuan Shao walked over, and although he seemed concerned about the question, he didn't seem to have any intention of reprimanding Yan Liang.

Xu You laughed coldly to himself, and a trace of guilt towards Yuan Shao disappeared with the question. He shook his head and said: "Thank you for your concern, I am fine."

"It's good that you're fine." Yuan Shao unwittingly nodded his head, and asked: "Zi Yuan, is Wen Chou really dead?"

When Yan Liang heard this, his eyes stared straight at Xu You, holding onto hope deep in his heart.

That day, General Wen Chou suddenly attacked and killed the Great General Gui Gu who was under Zhang Yan's command the moment he arrived in Galleon. After that, he passed on the Master's letter to Zhang Nan in the city. It was just a pity, but later on when General Wen Chou and his men were on their way back, they were caught up by Gongsun Xu. After a fierce battle, General Wen Chou unfortunately lost his life in Gongsun Xu's hands, and his subordinates were either killed or captured, ultimately resulting in the complete annihilation of his army. "

When Yuan Shao heard this, he immediately shouted: "It's actually Gongsun kid again, you really infuriate this old one! If I don't kill Gongsun kid, I swear I will not be a human! "

Yan Liang stomped the table until it split into pieces, and angrily shouted: "Xu You, where is Little Brother Wen Chou's corpse? "Under the order of the Lord, You have brought along an important secret to the high city, but did not even bring back the corpse of Brother Wen Chou. You are truly powerless!"

"Yan Liang, shut up!" Yuan Shao shouted, "Zi Yuan is a cautious man, he has done his best to fulfill his duty. If he could bring back Wen Chou's corpse, how would he return empty-handed? There must be a reason behind it! Zi Yuan, continue. "

"My lord, the truth is as clear as day." Xu You laughed bitterly: "Everyone knows that General Wen Chou is the one whom the Lord trusts the most. How could the Gongsun kid let go of such a good opportunity to blow our morale? He hung General Wen Chou's head on the camp's flagpole, and even made people spread the news of it, "added.

"And what?" Yuan Shao lowered his face and asked.

"And it seems like General Wen Chou's body was humiliated before, his corpse was never seen by his subordinates, but his head was filled with wounds."

"Enough!" Yan Liang shouted and interrupted Xu You's narration. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Yuan Shao and said: "I ask for this official's permission and immediately lead the army to Gao Yi, to avenge my brother Wen Chou!"

Yuan Shao frowned, before, all of the strategists had agreed to fight with Gongsun Zan in the Qinghe County for no reason at all. Firstly, because the Qinghe County had already been run by Yuan Shao for a long time, most of the citizens had already obeyed him; He had originally planned to let Yan Liang lead the large army to rescue Zhang He. If he had hastily agreed to Yan Liang lead the large army and fight against the Youzhou Army, the chances of him winning would be extremely high. It was just that Yan Liang was the number one loyal general under his command.

Just as Yuan Shao was in a dilemma, Xu You who was an expert at observing his surroundings came forward to help him out, "General Yan Liang's words are preposterous, Master absolutely cannot agree to them!"

Yan Liang was enraged, he glared at Xu You and shouted: "Xu You, you dare to stop me, this general, from avenging my death, do you want to test the speed of my blade?"

Xu You quietly took two steps closer to Yuan Shao, righteously shouted with righteousness, "This old man is completely loyal to Master, how could I possibly not dare to speak out because of my fear of General Yan? The lord had already discussed this with his colleagues and decided to place the main battle in Qinghe County. If the general were to brazenly lead an army and engage in a war with the Youzhou Army in order to avenge his personal grudges, the result would be unimaginable! Now that General Wen Chou had unluckily died, Zhang Jun Yi and Tian Yuan Hao were trapped in the high stronghold, causing the lord's strength to be greatly weakened, the soldiers' morale was slightly low, if the general was not able to return victorious, the lord would have to lose a large number of men and horses, which would affect the final victory of the battle, and furthermore affect the lord's domination of the world! "This old man has said everything. If General Yan wants to kill this old man, then please do so!"

After Xu You gave a long speech, he stood with his head held high and a resolute expression on his face. No matter how he looked at it, he was a loyal subject who was wholeheartedly considering his master.

He was just like Wen Chou, who had a fiery temper, but there was no doubt that he would be loyal to Yuan Shao. If it really harmed Yuan Shao's hegemony, he really had to think about it carefully.

Yuan Shao walked forward and held Yan Liang up, then patted his shoulder and advised: "Zi Yuan is right, as long as this old man wins in the end, where can Gongsun Zanfuzi escape to? Yan Liang, if you want to avenge Wen Chou, then help me defeat Gongsun Zanfuzi! "

Yan Liang bowed and said: "This general will follow Master's orders, I assure you, this general will temporarily bury this grudge deep within his heart, and definitely not do anything that would harm Master's great cause!"

Yuan Shao supported Yan Liang again, and said solemnly: "I know you are the most loyal, don't worry, if Gongsun Zanfuzi doesn't die after the great battle, I promise I will hand over his entire family to you."

"Thank you, my lord!" Yan Liang's eyes flashed fiercely, his heart was already thinking of a way to torture Gongsun Zanfuzi and his family to death.

"Alright, sit down." Yuan Shao waved his hand and took the first seat, Xu You and Yan Liang followed suit.

"Zi Yuan, this old man will firmly remember your loyalty and will definitely not treat you unfairly!" Yuan Shao calmed Xu You down first, and after the other party thanked him, he said in a deep voice, "Zi Yuan, let's talk about the details of this trip to the Gao Clan."

Xu You nodded his head, and explained everything that he had come up with earlier, in an attempt to obtain Wen Chou's corpse. He had to work hard to do so, but Gongsun Xu was too tyrannical, and even if he said that 'Bai Rao is a traitor', he would not give up.

"So, Zi Yuan's trip here was a waste of effort?" After Yuan Shao heard this, he asked with a gloomy face.

Xu You frowned: "Reporting to my lord, this subordinate has gained some!"

"Tell me about it."

"This subordinate successfully provoked Gongsun Xu and swore that within three days, he would definitely kill Bai Rao. If he really brazenly killed Bai Rao, even if he did not become enemies with him, it would definitely affect the cooperation between both sides and this is considered the first harvest. The second, this subordinate saw through the cloth defenses of the Youzhou Army thoroughly and will draw a cloth map for General Yan Liang so that he can rescue Zhang He and Tian Feng easily; the third, this subordinate deceived Gongsun Xu and said that Master had given up on Gao Yuan and was ready to protect Qing He.

Yuan Shao sighed: "Zi Yuan is only thinking for this old man, this old man is truly touched! Later today, this old man will give Zi Yuan some gifts to express my feelings. "

Xu You quickly thanked him: "Thank you for your gift, this subordinate will first thank you in advance!"

"If there is merit, there is no need to thank me. Zi Yuan, tell Yan Liang about the strength of the Youzhou Army s. I want to make some plans on how to successfully rescue Zhang Jun Yi and Tian Yuan Hao. "

"Here!" General Yan Liang, there are roughly eighty to ninety thousand people in Youzhou Army and the Youzhou Army that are besieging Youzhou City.

Xu You spent more than an hour to recount the situation under the Galleon. In the end, he repeatedly reminded Yan Liang to be careful and not be caught in the heavy encirclement of the Youzhou Army.

"Zi Yuan, you've worked hard. Go back and rest. This old man will hold a banquet at the mansion tonight. You should arrive earlier."

"Thank you, my lord." Thank you, my lord. Xu You stood up, cupped his hands and left.

"Yan Liang, oh Yan Liang, what do you want me to say about you? Although Xu Ziyuan is greedy for money and lustful of sex, he was completely loyal to this old man. How could you coerce him? "
