Chapter 279

"Oh?"

When Lord Yuan Shao heard this, he looked at the person in charge of intelligence in surprise: "You are not bad! Just do as you said!"

Saying this, he looked at Xu You on the side and asked: "Xu Ziyuan, what do you think?"

"Hehe!"

When Xu You heard this, he smiled contemptuously, glanced at the person in charge of intelligence, and then looked at Lord Yuan Shao: "Benchu! You don't think Su Xuan is a fool, do you?"

"You don't think his past battle records are fake, do you?"

"Hmm?"

When Lord Yuan Shao heard this, he frowned, and seeing Xu You's attitude, he felt even more unhappy.

This Xu You had already joined him and recognized him as his Lord, but he didn't have the appearance of a subject.

He didn't even want to call him Lord, always calling his courtesy name. It would be strange if Lord Yuan Shao felt comfortable.

But he still appreciated Xu You's talent, so he could only endure it for now!

Then, he said: "Xu Ziyuan, do you mean Su Xuan won't listen to me?"

"Hehe! Isn't this inevitable?"

Xu You smiled speechlessly: "Su Su Boyuan is not a simple character, otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to walk from a declining small gentry to today's step in just a few years!"

"This person is both civil and military, his talent is extremely remarkable, and he will inevitably be the Lord's greatest enemy in the future!"

"If it weren't for the fact that the timing is not ripe and the Lord's forces have not developed far enough, I would even want to suggest that the Lord get rid of this person first!"

"Unfortunately, the situation does not allow us to do so now!"

"In addition, I think the reason Su Xuan chose to leave Hulao Pass a few days ago and go to attack Yique Pass is actually because he didn't want to continue wasting time here and lose too many soldiers!"

"As long as he is here, he still has to listen to your orders, Lord. If you ask him to send troops to attack the city, as long as it is reasonable, he cannot refuse;"

"Unlike now? He is completely in charge of Yique Pass!"

"How he wants to attack, when he wants to attack, it's all up to him;"

"Even if you really listen to some people and send people to constantly urge him, he won't listen!"

"He can just find some excuses to delay and fool you, Lord. You can't do anything about him."

"Don't be treated like a fool!"

Having said this, Xu You's expression toward the person in charge of intelligence was full of sarcasm.

He didn't even hide it.

Making the person in charge of intelligence look very ugly.

So I'm the stupid one?

You are so powerful, why didn't you say so earlier?

For a time, the person in charge of intelligence hated Xu You greatly.

But knowing the gap in their status, he didn't dare to show it at all.

Because, if Xu You wanted to deal with him, it would be a matter of minutes!

"That's true!"

When Lord Yuan Shao heard this, he frowned.

Relying on such small means to plot against Su Xuan is indeed useless.

Instead, it would expose his malice toward Su Xuan and truly offend Su Xuan.

If this person started to target and plot against him secretly, it would be extremely unfavorable to Lord Yuan Shao.

Thinking of this, Lord Yuan Shao also glared at the person in charge of intelligence, and then waved his hand irritably: "You heard Xu Ziyuan's words! Forget the previous proposal!"

"For now, it is not appropriate for us to truly fall out with Su Xuan. It is best to maintain a good relationship!"

"Wait until the crusade against Dong ends, I return to Jizhou, and take the whole Jizhou before talking about it!"

Now is not the time to deal with Su Xuan.

Su Xuan's foundation is in Jingzhou, far away from Jizhou!

The one who should be anxious is Lord Yuan Shu.

"Eh?"

Thinking of this, Lord Yuan Shao asked Xu You: "Xu Ziyuan, what do you think about leaking the news to Lord Yuan Shu and secretly inciting Lord Yuan Shu to target Su Xuan?"

"Isn't Su Xuan at Yique Pass now?"

"There, wanting to obtain grain and forage depends entirely on us!"

"It is completely possible to let Lord Yuan Shu also try not to give Su Xuan grain and forage, on one hand, to make the two completely hostile;"

"On the other hand, if we can make Su Xuan lose soldiers and generals like Sun Sun Jian did by cutting off the grain, wouldn't it be killing multiple birds with one stone?"

He still has enough of Su Xuan now.

But Su Xuan's threat is always there, and avoiding his further growth is also a problem he needs to pay attention to.

"That's possible!"

When Xu You heard this, he stroked his beard and nodded: "It's just that I'm afraid Su Xuan has other means!"

"But we can try! If we fail, we won't lose anything. If we succeed, we will make a big profit!"

As for whether this will affect the attack on Luoyang and the crusade against Dong Zhuo?

Hehe! Neither Lord Yuan Shao nor Xu You have ever cared!

Because, from beginning to end, they came to participate in the crusade against Dong, not for the sake of crusade against Dong and saving the Son of Heaven.

It was just for fame and fortune.

A little slower is a little slower, as long as they can finally force Dong Zhuo to retreat and achieve some results, he, the Alliance Leader, will have gained both fame and fortune.

"Haha! That's right!"

When Lord Yuan Shao heard this, he couldn't help but look up and laugh: "Whether it succeeds or not, there is no loss."

"Then this matter, let Xu Ziyuan handle it, how about that?"

"Yes!"

Xu You immediately received the order.

He would naturally not miss the opportunity to take control of part of the intelligence department under Lord Yuan Shao.

Since he joined Lord Yuan Shao, he naturally had to find ways to improve his status in Lord Yuan Shao's heart, occupy a high position, and then be able to reap benefits!
