Xu You left Yuan Shao's residence and returned to his tent in the military camp.
Whether it is Jushou, Shenpei, or even civil servants and military officers such as Zhang He and Gao Lan, they all live in the camp. Only father and son Yuan Shao and Yuan Shang lived alone in the house, enjoying a good life without wind or rain.
Xu You sat in the tent, lost in thought.
Yuan Shao openly favored the judge and even picked up a wine glass and flask to hit him. If your clothes get wet, you can change them. Pain in the forehead will recover quickly. However, he was wantonly humiliated by Yuan Shao and lost face, which is irreparable.
Xu You and Yuan Shao have been friends for many years.
He worked for Yuan Shao, not only as a subordinate but also as a confidant. For this reason, Lu Xuan suppressed Cao Cao and killed Yuan Tan. Wu had the potential to dominate the world, and Xu You did not betray him.
Xu You thought about Lu Xuan, his eyes were deep and he had some thoughts in his heart.
He has no connection with Lu Xuan, but his son works under Lu Xuan. Even though he was just an ordinary assistant, it was enough to become the link between him and Lu Xuan.
The king chooses his ministers, and the ministers choose their king.
He changed the court, which was also caused by Yuan Shao. No wonder he.
"Commander Xu, Third Young Master Yuan Shang would like to see you."
When Xu You was gradually making up his mind, a soldier came in and bowed: "The Third Young Master said that I have something important to discuss with you."
Xu You ordered: "Please come in."
The soldiers went to deliver the order. After a while, Yuan Shang strode into the camp, and Corporal Li Xian said: "Mr. Xu!"
Xu You stood up and said, "Third Young Master."
His attitude was very casual and nothing close. After all, he is not even afraid of Yuan Shao, let alone Yuan Shang? Xu You has always set his sights high and only recognizes people who are better than him.
He looked down on him and was always unwilling to pay attention to him. Yuan Shang happened to be a person of average ability, and Yuan Shang was also reckless and unintelligent. Xu You was even more displeased with Yuan Shang.
Yuan Shang noticed Xu You's posture and felt slightly cold in his heart.
Xu You is too proud.
Fortunately, this time Xu You's son was arrested and Xu You was hit, so he had the opportunity to recruit Xu You.
Yuan Shang walked up, lifted up his robe, sat down, and said in a leisurely manner: "Mr. Xu, you and my father were too reckless today. My father was defeated by Tian Chou, and Yan Liang and Wen Chou were lost, as well as his troops and generals. I feel very sad." . Instead of comforting me, you bothered my father. Tell me, isn’t this asking for trouble?”
Xu You's face turned cold and he said mockingly: "If the Third Young Master is here to make some sarcastic remarks, you can leave."
Yuan Shang shook his head and said: "If I just want to say a few sarcastic words and show off my quickness in front of my father, I will have already added insult to injury. Why come now? I come here with sincerity."
Xu You stared at Yuan Shang.
He found that Yuan Shang spoke in a condescending manner, which seemed to suggest charity.
Xu You thought about it for a while, and suddenly understood, and said in a deep voice: "If the third young master thinks that after I was dealt with by the king, he came to comfort me with a few words, so that I can be grateful and bow to you, then you are wrong. .What happened today is that the king went too far."
Yuan Shang said solemnly: "It is said that accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. Mr. Xu is by his father's side. That's how it is. Mr. Xu is a wise man. Don't you know that thunder, rain and dew are all signs of your kindness?"
Xu You felt more and more disgusted.
Accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger?
He is just a subordinate of Yuan Shao, not a slave. He is an independent person with his own ideas, so why should he accompany you like a tiger?
Yuan Shang shook his sleeves and continued: "Mr. Xu's son was captured and imprisoned by the trial police. In fact, in my opinion, it is not a big deal. This matter is big or small."
Xu You had already guessed Yuan Shang's thoughts and did not give in. He said coldly: "Third Young Master, speak directly if you have something to say. There is no need to beat around the bush."
Yuan Shang's patience gradually wore away.
Xu You's attitude was very bad. If Xu You didn't have great influence in Jizhou and had the right to speak around Yuan Shao, Yuan Shang would never talk to Xu You.
This person doesn't know how to praise.
Yuan Shang stopped beating around the bush and went straight to the point: "If Mr. Xu wants to rescue your son, he must be judged and approved. The judge is the minister of the Jin State. If he insists on dealing with it, beheading is the easiest way, and it will definitely affect the Xu family."
"As I said just now, things can be big or small."
"It's a big deal because Shen Pei is determined to set an example and deal with your son."
"It's a small matter. As long as the matchmaker says a word, the Xu family can be released. After all, the person who died is just an ordinary businessman and a pariah. There is nothing to make a fuss about."
Yuan Shang's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he said loudly: "It just so happens that I can let the judge handle this matter."
Shen Pei is Yuan Shao's confidant and also supports Yuan Shang.
It was precisely because of this that Yuan Shang dared to take this opportunity to recruit Xu You.
Xu You looked at Yuan Shang's proud look and said forcefully: "Shen Pei insists on killing members of my Xu family. I'll let him kill me. Let's see if he dares? If he kills my Xu You's son, he will die forever. Third Young Master's I appreciate your kindness, please come back."
Yuan Shang's expression froze.
It was rejected.
Yuan Shang lost face and looked in disbelief, asking: "Xu You, are you really not afraid? As long as you work for me, I will immediately send a message to Shen Pei and ask him to let your son go. No Let’s pursue the Xu family’s affairs again.”
"no way!"
Xu You answered decisively.
He looked coldly and said loudly: "I, Xu You, have never been weak to others in my life, let alone asked for help. I want to see if the judge dares to kill my Xu You's son? Does he dare to kill my Xu family's son?" people."
He had always been strong and wanted to save face, so he was not willing to bow to someone like Yuan Shang and reconcile with Shen Pei, even if he was beaten to death.
Xu You said forcefully: "Third Young Master, please!"
Yuan Shang was constantly rejected by Xu You, and became completely angry. He said coldly: "Xu You, I appreciate you and give you face and opportunities. It is shameless for you to give face. I would like to take a look at your Xu You's bones." How hard are you? How hard are the bones of your Xu family? I'm waiting for you, waiting for you to kneel in front of me and beg for mercy."
After finishing speaking, Yuan Shang strode away.
But the look in Xu You's eyes at the end showed a hint of hatred. Xu You would not be used by him, and then he would try his best to deal with the Xu family members and let Xu You know the price of rejecting him.
Xu You looked at Yuan Shang leaving, thinking about Yuan Shao's humiliation, Yuan Shang's threats and self-righteousness, and smiled coldly.
At this moment, he had no hesitation.
Xu You took out paper and pen, quickly wrote a letter, and sealed it. He called his confidants, handed over the letter, and solemnly said: "Take the letter and quietly leave the city. Go to the Youzhou military camp outside the city to meet Tian Chou and deliver the letter in person."
"Here!"
The personal attendant put away the letter and left quickly.
