Chapter 841 Returning in Vain
Xu You didn't leave immediately after returning, but made arrangements for the family.
Some of his relatives and family members, Xu You made arrangements for them to return to the countryside and returned a fortune.
Xu Youru arranged the funeral, but he knew that it was all for others to see.
Xu You was actually too worried about going to Youzhou this time.
He naturally didn't want Yuan Shao to lose, but this time he felt that things were not that simple.
Zhang Yu has completely turned into a lurking beast. If anyone dares to ignore him, he will come out to hurt others.
Xu You has been paying attention to Zhang Yu recently, but Zhang Yu didn't make any moves, so he had a strong feeling.
When the ferocious beast is not attacking, no one will see its fangs. When it does attack, it is like a destructive existence.
Out of various worries, Xu You had to go there in person.
After two arrangements, Xu You set off.
Yuan Shao also learned something about the situation and was very grateful to Xu You. No one dared to go at this time, and he was the only one who dared to go.
Or if he is the only one who is suitable to go, and the others go, I'm afraid they won't be able to talk to Zhang Yu.
Xu You took hundreds of entourages and quickly left for Youzhou.
He estimated that Cao Ang would not be able to reach Youzhou in one round trip. If he wanted to find Zhang Yu in Youzhou, he could only go to Jiangdong first, and then go by boat.
A few days later, Xu You arrived in Youzhou, and after entering Youzhou, he found many differences.
This has changed a lot, everything from the appearance of the people, to the roads and villages on both sides, and the heat of business.
Xu You was in a daze and sighed, how did Zhang Yu do it, such a big change in just a few years.
This Youzhou is very peaceful, and the people live well.
Arriving at New Beiping City was even more shocking, it was even more prosperous than Ye City.
Although this city of Ye has always been very prosperous, it has also developed in Yuan Shao's hands.
Nothing fundamentally changed.
But after arriving in New Beiping City, Xu You felt that this is the capital of a big country, magnificent and prosperous.
Prosperity is actually somewhat different from prosperity. Prosperity represents more people and excitement, while prosperity involves the spiritual level and develops in an all-round way.
Xu You didn't rush to find Zhang Yu, but found a place to live in Xinbeiping for two days, during which time he sent many people out to inquire about news.
The mind is very scattered, and the most common thing is the news that Guan Yu and the Xiongnu may invade.
Also not much useful news.
This made Xu You very uneasy, which was not like Zhang Yu's style at all.
Without any useful information, Xu You could only contact Zhang Yu.
Soon Xu You contacted Zhang Yu, and then met Xu You in the new state pastoral mansion.
When old friends meet, it is naturally a pleasant meal.
Zhang Yu was free and stayed with Xu You all the time, but the two had clashed several times, and Zhang Yu didn't reveal anything about the battle between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao.
Xu You talked about it several times, but Zhang Yu didn't answer, and the two didn't talk about anything serious.
In the evening, Xu You went back after having a banquet, but after a while, there was nothing useful
Xu You is a smart person, knowing that Zhang Yu did this on purpose.
After Xu You left, Zhang Yu called Xi Zhicai and Gu Yong over.
"My lord, I thought you would kill Yuan Shao, but I didn't expect that you didn't ask for anything." Xi Zhicai said with a smile.
According to the general understanding, if Zhang Yu seized the opportunity, he would definitely kill them, but Zhang Yu did nothing.
"No, this time we are fully showing weakness and promoting the development of the war. At this time, they are ready and may fight at any time. This is our best interest. When they fight, we will take whatever benefits we want." Zhang Yu said. .
After thinking for a while, Gu Yong said: "Master, if you think about blackmailing Yuan Shao, maybe they will believe that you will not intervene in the war between them."
"It is in our best interest for me to intervene in the war. This is obvious, but now that the Huns are suppressing the border, we have no strength, and we are afraid that Yuan Shao will deal with us in turn, so we will not blackmail Yuan Shao. This will completely win their trust."
Zhang Yu's words also made sense. Blackmailing or not blackmailing requires additional operations, but Zhang Yu chose not to blackmail Yuan Shao.
Zhang Yu asked Xi Zhicai and the others to come over, explained some things, asked them to spread the news, and asked Gu Yong to prepare for the defense against the Huns.
They have been doing this before, but this time they were asked to do it deliberately for Xu You to see.
This Xu You is a smart person, of course he knows it too.
Xu You endured for a while, but instead of looking for Zhang Yu, he asked people to continue collecting information.
The collected information was very fragmented, and Xu You's comprehensive analysis was still unable to analyze Zhang Yu's intentions.
Two days later, Xu You came to see Zhang Yu again.
"Master Zhang, let's go straight to the point. What do you want to do and where do you want to play this Yuan Cao battle?" Xu You asked bluntly.
Zhang Yu naturally had no way to evade such a question, and could only answer directly.
"If there is a chance, I don't mind intervening." Zhang Yu said.
Xu You didn't know how to answer, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Master Zhang, why don't we cooperate, you can propose it if you have the conditions."
"How to cooperate?" Zhang Yu asked.
"You send 150,000 troops. After defeating Cao Cao, Xu You and part of Yuzhou can be distributed to you." Xu You said.
Xu You's strategy was very clever, and Zhang Yu's army was sent to Yuan Shaona, so there was no fear that Zhang Yu would cause trouble.
"Haha, excuse me, Xu Darao's proposal is very tempting, but to cooperate with Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shao has a million troops, I don't trust Yuan Shao." Zhang Yu said.
Xu You did not make any progress after repeated trials. Although Zhang Yu had no flaws, Xu You was even more worried.
It's just that there is no basis for this kind of worry, and he can't go back and report to Yuan Shao. These are all his guesses.
Even Xu You thought that Zhang Yu was waiting for Cao Ang to arrive.
But Xu You couldn't afford to wait, and continued to inquire about some news in New Beiping City. Zhang Yu really didn't make any preparations for using troops in Jizhou and Qingzhou.
Xu You returned without success, but the doubts in his heart were not eliminated, but he was even more worried.
He knew Zhang Yu very well, no matter what he wanted to blackmail Yuan Shao.
As a result, Zhang Yu didn't ask for anything.
Xu You went back, and hurried back to report to Yuan Shao.
Not long after Xu You left, Cao Ang came.
This time Cao Ang did not come here with any hope, but after careful consideration on the way, he still tried to subdue Zhang Yu.
When Cao Ang arrived, Zhang Yu went to meet him in person.
When he arrived at the State Shepherd's Mansion, Zhang Yu chatted a lot like he did to Xu You, without making any substantial progress.
Cao Ang held back a lot of words but couldn't come out. He finally arrived in Youzhou and talked to Zhang Yu. Could it be that he just returned in vain?
