Bohai County, the prefect's office.

A carriage drove over and finally stopped at the gate of the prefect's mansion.

The curtains of the carriage were rolled up, and a middle-aged man hurriedly got off the carriage and rushed to the gate of the provincial and ministerial palace. This person was none other than Yuan Shao's planner Xu You. At this moment, Xu You's face was full of anxiety and irritability. Xu You came to the gate, and the soldiers guarding the gate reached out to stop him and said, "Sir Xu, Rong Xiaoren will go and spread the news first."

"Get out of here, don't stop me."

Xu You's anger surged, and his sleeves flicked, and he rushed in directly.

The soldiers were quite helpless when they saw this.

Why is Xu You, who is quite friendly on weekdays, so angry?

Another soldier guarding the gate shook his head gently and persuaded: "Xu You and the prefect are not only related to the monarch and minister, but also friends they have known since childhood. The relationship between them is extraordinary. We cannot afford to be guilty of either party. Instead of doing so, it is better not to worry about it."

The soldier nodded and stood at the door to guard the Guardian Mansion.

Xu You entered the mansion, came to the hall, and ordered angrily: "Hurry, notify the prefect immediately."

The servants in the mansion did not dare to neglect and hurried to inform.

Not long after, Yuan Shao carried his hands on his back, and a smile like a spring breeze on his face, and he was quite comfortable. He walked into the hall and said with a smile: "Ziyuan, the servant reported that you were panicked. Did you encounter any difficult things?"

Xu You was angry, but he did not forget to salute. After saluting respectfully, he asked straight to the point: "Lord, I heard that the great scholar fell into the water and died in Ye County one after another. Who made this suggestion to the lord?"

Yuan Shao raised his eyebrows and said, "I told someone to do it. Is there anything?"

Yuan Shao didn't say the strategist behind the scenes.

Speaking of this, Yuan Shao was proud and said with a successful expression, "Ziyuan, we were fighting with Wang Lei, and Taishici and Zhang He led their troops to resist, which made it difficult for our army to advance. Taishici and Zhang He were as stable as Mount Tai, which was the reason why Wang Lei's rear was stable."

Immediately, Yuan Shao said again: "The great scholars in Ye County have encountered the strange situation in which they fell into the water and died one after another. Wang Lei must be in a hurry and could not cope with it. At the same time, those great scholars were afraid and dared not go to Wang Lei's academy again. This is a matter of several things in one fell swoop!"

"Lord, this is not helping you, it is to harm you!"

Xu You was so angry that he stamped his feet repeatedly and was very angry.

It is really annoying that such a thing happened at the critical moment of the battle between Yuan Shao and Wang Lei.

Yuan Shao was not anxious and said, "Ziyuan, I didn't find any problem."

Xu You trembled slightly and said in a deep voice: "Lord, on the surface, this is a matter of one kill. However, have you considered it? This will harm you but not benefit."

Yuan Shao's expression also became serious and he asked, "What's going on?"

Xu You said: "Lord, please think about it. Can assassination of several great scholars really affect the overall situation?"

Yuan Shao snorted and said, "Even if it cannot affect the overall situation, it can make Wang Lei frigid. As long as the people in Ye County are restless and the people are in turmoil, we will get the opportunity."

"well……"

Xu You sighed lightly, and a deep sense of helplessness arose in his heart.

Yuan Shao was not patient enough and said in a deep voice: "Ziyuan, what are the disadvantages? Tell me!"

Xu You said: "Lord, your assassination of Wang Lei's officials is better than assassinating a great scholar. Assassination of an official can directly lead to turmoil in various counties and counties. However, assassination of a great scholar is just to scare the people and scare the great scholars who go to the academy."

"Wang Lei can easily accomplish it if he wants to stabilize people's hearts."

"For the lord, the worse result is that all the scholars in the world hate you."

"This world is ultimately the world of scholars. After Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang won the world, Lu Jia advised him, 'In the past, how can he conquer the world on horseback, now?' In a word, Emperor Gaozu suddenly realized that he appointed Confucian scholars to govern the country. The whole world was governed by scholars."

"However, if the lord attacks the great scholars in the academy, once they are spread, they will definitely be hostile to scholars all over the world. The scholars under the lord will be distracted and deviate from the hearts of the people."

Xu You looked full of worry and said in a deep voice: "What's even more terrifying is that once this matter is exploited by Wang Lei, the consequences will be even more unimaginable. Don't you think about it, there are also great scholars such as Zheng Xuan and Liu Hong in Ye County. If Zheng Xuan, Liu Hong and others participate, what should you do!"

At the end of the day, Xu You was about to cry.

Damn, it was indeed a tragedy to meet a teammate like a pig.

Yuan Shao frowned and was very depressed. He didn't expect the result to be so bad. Yuan Shao was not stupid yet, so he immediately asked, "Ziyuan, is there a way to rescue him?"

Xu You said: "There is indeed a solution, but it is very difficult."

Yuan Shao said in a deep voice: "No matter how difficult it is, it is better than not doing it."

Xu You said, "Lord, wise!" After a pause, Xu You said, "Lord, this is what I think about..."

"Report!"

While Xu You was talking, a servant ran in.

Xu You's face turned dark immediately. Xu You was discussing with Yuan Shao, but the servant rushed in recklessly. It was really impolite. Yuan Shao was not angry. This servant was the guard beside his wife. The servant walked in and bowed, "Sir, it's not good. The third young master is sick. Madam, please come over immediately."

"What, why is Shang'er sick?"

Yuan Shao's heart tightened, and a deep sense of worry appeared on his face.

The servant shook his head and said, "The villain doesn't know what the disease is. He is waiting for the doctor to treat it. The wife said that the young master's condition is urgent, so please go there immediately."

"Okay, OK, I'll go right now!"

Yuan Shao was worried and waved his hand to repel the servants.

Immediately, Yuan Shao ordered: "Ziyuan, I will leave it to you for the assassination of the great scholar. Shang'er is seriously ill, so I must go and see him, so he cannot delay."

Yuan Shao was worried and hurriedly got up and walked towards the backyard, leaving Xu You alone in the hall.

A cool breeze blew, and Xu You couldn't help but shivered.

A deep disappointment appeared on his face.

When Bohai County was in a crisis, Yuan Shao left government affairs for his youngest son. In Xu You's opinion, such a lord was extremely ridiculous. Xu You turned around, walked out of the hall decadently and lonely, looked up at the sky, muttering to himself: "Idiot! At the critical moment, he often used tricks, and it was reasonable to lose."

Xu You had no choice but to walk out of the provincial and ministerial palace lonely.

Xu You left dejectedly, and this scene fell into the eyes of those who were interested. After the carriage Xu You was riding left the Zhoumu Mansion, not long after, a man in attendant's clothes walked out and came to a tea shop not far from the Zhoumu Mansion, drank a bowl of tea, and then returned to the Zhoumu Mansion.
