Chapter 898: The petty man Xu You!

"Is such a thing really possible??"

When Xu You analyzed it so seriously, Yuan Shao's suspicion grew, and his indecisive temperament was instantly exposed.

"Your subordinate advises my lord to be more cautious. These lords privately changed their signal flags without reporting the situation to you. It would be fine to issue an order to arrest these lords now; their combined forces total no more than several hundred thousand. Even if we remove them, it will not have much impact on our entry into Luoyang."

"But if these various lords collude together to stir up trouble and secretly destroy our grain reserves, that would be fatal. If the grain reserves are not in place, our morale will certainly be hit, and we will never be able to take Luoyang."

Seeing Yuan Shao wavering, Xu You added fuel to the fire.

Even though Yuan Shao hesitated, he felt at this moment that Xu You's words were correct; after all, the matter of those various lords privately changing their signal flags had indeed not been explained to him clearly.

"Hmm! Xu You, listen to my order. Command you to immediately take Ju Yi and Chunyu Qiong together to capture the lords who privately changed their signal flags. As long as they are captured alive, do not harm their lives..."

Yuan Shao's expression turned cold and stern, as Xu You had pointed to the key point.

Indeed, if the lords rebelled and targeted the grain reserves, it would be over; his million-strong army would collapse without being attacked.

"Understood, I will strictly follow my lord's decree!"

After receiving the golden command talisman, Xu You could not hide the joy in his heart and hurried away, fearing that his joy would be discovered by Yuan Shao.

After obtaining the command talisman issued by Yuan Shao, Xu You headed to a certain part of the military formation.

"Come out..."

Xu You looked around to ensure no one was there, then walked in one direction and spoke faintly.

"Lord Xu has arrived just in time! This is exactly the time we agreed upon!"

An old man in black appeared quietly in the fog. ===== CHAPTER 904 =====
