Guo Zhao quickly held Yang Ling's hand and said softly,
"Husband, go quickly. Don't keep the master waiting."
Yang Ling had no choice but to hold back the heat in his heart for the time being and let Guo Zhao tidy up his appearance.
After everything was done, he gave Guo Zhaohong a peck on the lips, then stood up and left the tent.
"gentlemen."
Zhou Cang came forward with all his strength.
Yang Ling glared at him angrily and walked towards Cao Cao's Chinese army camp.
Zhou Cang was left scratching the back of his head in confusion, not knowing what happened.
"I've met the Prime Minister!"
Yang Ling saluted Cao Cao.
"Ziyi is here, no need to be polite, just sit down."
Cao Cao greeted with a smile.
Apart from him, there were Guo Jia, Cao Ang, Xun You and others in the camp.
After Yang Ling sat down, Cao Cao smiled and said,
"According to your instructions, I have sent people to inquire about Wuchao. Guess what the situation is?"
"Yuan Jun's food and grass transportation should be there."
Yang Ling asked with a smile.
"How did you know?"
Cao Cao said in surprise.
Yang Ling rolled his eyes.
nonsense.
You smile all over your face and are as happy as a 200-pound child. Anyone who is not blind can see it!
"But I'm curious, teacher, how do you know where Yuan Jun's grain and grass will be transferred?"
Cao Ang said with curiosity on his face.
Not to mention him, even Cao Cao, Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai, Xun You and others were extremely confused.
The soldiers and horses have not moved, but the food and grass go first.
The importance of food and grass to the army is self-evident.
The route for transporting grain and grass is naturally extremely hidden.
How could Yang Ling surprise everyone by telling him where Yuan Jun's supplies were?
Fortunately, Yang Ling had already thought of a countermeasure and said with a calm smile,
"I'm just making a bold guess and be careful to verify it. After all, there are only a few locations around Guandu that are suitable for special grain and grass."
When everyone thought about it carefully, they felt that it was not unreasonable.
"Having said that, being able to determine the route of Yuan Jun's food and grass at a glance is enough to prove that Ziyi has extraordinary vision."
Cao Cao smiled and praised, and then said,
"Now that we know the location of their food transfer, how about sending people to attack Wuchao at night?"
Everyone nodded.
If they can successfully attack Wuchao at night, they will burn Yuan Jun's food and grass.
Even if he couldn't completely defeat Yuan Shao, he could at least force him to retreat and take the initiative.
Cao Cao pondered for a moment and ordered,
"The two generals Xingba and Zilong are the bravest. Let them go to attack the camp. What do you think, Ziyi?"
"My subordinates have no objections."
Yang Ling cupped his hands.
After some discussion, Cao Cao, Yang Ling and others formulated a battle plan and planned to attack Wuchao at night the next night.
Seeing that the night had darkened, everyone was preparing to go back and rest.
At this moment, a soldier suddenly rushed over in a hurry.
"Prime Minister, there is a scholar from outside the military camp who claims to be the prime minister's friend Xu You!"
Everyone was stunned and subconsciously looked at Yang Ling.
My dear, Yang Ling was right, Xu You actually came to join me!
Cao Cao was taken aback, came to his senses, and said quickly,
"Quickly, invite Xu Ziyuan in...forget it, I'll greet you in person!"
"Prime Minister, no!"
However, Yang Ling stopped Cao Cao from welcoming him in person.
"Why?"
Cao Cao looked at Yang Ling in surprise.
Xu You is his close friend and has always been famous. If he went to greet him in person, it would be a good talk for his thirst for talents.
Yang Ling said calmly and authentically,
"Today is different from the past. My lord is now the prime minister. No matter how much you are thirsty for talents, there is no need to go to greet him in person."
"Besides, Xu Ziyuan is resourceful but ignorant, and he is arrogant."
"If you greet him in person, I'm afraid it will make him arrogant in the future."
Cao Cao had made good friends with Xu You in the early years and knew very well what kind of person Xu You was.
Just as Yang Ling said, if he welcomes her in person, Xu You will definitely be proud and complacent in the future.
Besides, their current identities are completely different.
"What you said makes sense."
Cao Cao was silent for a moment, nodded, and stopped insisting.
Not long after, Xu You entered the camp, led by several soldiers.
As soon as he saw Cao Cao, he couldn't help but smile and said,
"Aha, we haven't seen each other for a long time!"
A hint of gloom flashed in Cao Cao's eyes, and he smiled faintly,
"Yes, I haven't seen you for a long time, and I miss you very much! Come on, please give Mr. Ziyuan a seat."
Xu You frowned slightly.
He noticed that Cao Cao's attitude seemed a little distant.
But Xu You's brows quickly relaxed.
When he helps him defeat Yuan Shao, will he still come to curry favor with him?
Xu You didn't take it to heart and sat down.
"Mr. Ziyuan, are you here to seek refuge with me?"
Cao Cao smiled.
"To be honest, Ah Hao, that guy Yuan Shao is really not a thing."
When Xu You mentioned Yuan Shao, he got angry.
"I told him my heart and soul, but he still doubted me! I simply stopped staying with him and came to join you. We are good friends, so you won't accept me, right?"
Listening to what he said, he called himself a fool, and he had no respect for himself at all.
Cao Cao became increasingly dissatisfied, but on the surface he became more polite.
"What Ziyuan said, you are smart and talented, and you are willing to come here to seek refuge. How could I not take you in?"
"That's good!"
Xu You breathed a long sigh of relief, then smiled and said,
"In that case, I won't hide it from you. I have a plan to help you defeat Yuan Shao."
"Oh? May I ask what the plan is?"
Cao Cao said casually.
"Most of Yuan Shao's grain and grass transportation passes through Wuchao. As long as you send an elite army to attack Wuchao over a long distance and burn his grain and grass with fire, he will definitely defeat himself!"
Xu You proudly told his plan.
I originally thought that Cao Cao and others would be amazed, but I didn't expect that they would all look at me with strange eyes.
He couldn't help but be startled,
"Ah Ma, don't you think it's inappropriate?"
Cao Ang on the side curled his lips and smiled disapprovingly,
"I'll tell you the truth, Mr. Ziyuan. My father is ready to raid Wuchao tomorrow night!"
"What!"
Xu You was shocked and looked at Cao Cao in disbelief.
"Amao, you... how did you know that all the food and grass were in Wuchao?"
"It's not that I know about it, it's my son-in-law Chenglong Kuai who discovered it."
Cao Cao smiled and nodded at Yang Ling.
"Ziyi, come and see Mr. Ziyuan."
"I've met Mr. Ziyuan."
Yang Ling bowed his hand towards Xu You.
Looking at the extraordinary Yang Ling in front of him, Xu You said in a deep voice,
"Are you Yang Ziyi? How did you know that Yuan Shao's grain and grass are all transferred to Wuchao?"
His tone was quite rude. Yang Ling felt particularly unhappy and said coldly,
"Does Mr. Ziyuan think that you are the only smart person in the world?"
