The revival of the Han Dynasty must start with Dong Zhuo

Chapter 230 Volume Women's Clothing
Kuai Liang, Kuai Yue, and Cai Mao looked at each other. Although they were tempted to move, they did not show it.

Seeing that his talk did not gain the support of the three, Xu You narrowed his eyes into slits.

Xu You knew that the key ultimately lay with Liu Biao.

Liu Biao was constrained by the aristocratic families of Jingzhou. This sentence actually has another meaning -

That is, Liu Biao was deeply involved with the aristocratic families of Jingzhou, and it became a situation where you were in me and I was in you.

Both brothers Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue were entrusted with important tasks and became high-ranking officials in prefectures and counties.

Cai Mao was Liu Biao's brother-in-law, so they were considered a family. That was why Liu Biao could rest assured that Cai Mao would be in charge of the navy of Jingzhou.

Liu Biao could not survive without the Jingzhou nobles, and these Jingzhou nobles could not survive alone without Liu Biao.

"You are indeed a famous person in the world!"

Xu You admired Liu Biao's methods from the bottom of his heart.

But the more he admired it, the more he realized how complicated the situation in Jingzhou was, and it was far beyond his ability to stir up by relying on the power of others.

Only by finding ways to muddy the water in Jingzhou could Yuan Shao achieve the goal he set for himself.

It is actually very easy to make the water muddy...

Xu You seemed to have figured out the key to the matter. He stopped trying to persuade the three people and instead stood up and left.

Now in Xiangyang City.

Sima Yi and Yang Xiu disguised themselves as ordinary people, standing in front of a mansion, looking at the scenery curiously.

"Dezu, are you sure this is where Yiji lives?"

"Don't worry! It's absolutely true!"

Yang Xiu patted his chest and made the promise.

"Although our Hongnong Yang family is not as grand as the Runan Yuan family, with students and former officials all over the world, it should be no problem to find a few acquaintances in Jingzhou and inquire about the address!"

"Yi Ji and Liu Biao are from the same hometown, and he is also Liu Biao's confidant. There is absolutely no problem for us to ask him about the leader of the Hebei delegation!"

The two men did not know that Yi Ji was attending the banquet, and they waited until dark before they saw any trace of Yi Ji.

When Yi Ji saw two big men suddenly jump out in the darkness, he was also shocked.

"Are you Yiji?"

But seeing that the other party was willing to communicate, Yi Ji was relieved. This proved that the other party was at least not a vicious person.

"Exactly! Why are you two hiding your true intentions? Why don't you speak to each other politely?"

Sima Yi took out the emperor's scepter from his arms.

"Let me ask you, where is the envoy from Hebei now?"

Seeing the scarlet Yanhan Scepter, Yi Ji's pupils shrank and his tone softened.

"Are you two envoys from the imperial court?"

"Exactly."

Yi Ji let out a long sigh: "Why don't you go to Liu Jingzhou? Instead, you come to me to ask about Xu You's residence?"

The envoy from Hebei was actually Xu You!

Sima Yi and Yang Xiu looked at each other, and then they were ecstatic!

"Brother Ji Bo must also know that the situation in Jingzhou is complicated. It is not easy for us to appear directly in front of Liu Jingzhou."

"If that's the case, why not give Liu Jingzhou a gift? This will show the court's sincerity!"

Yi Ji was solemn, he already knew that the other party was going to follow the story of Ban Dingyuan and go deep into the tiger's den!

But Yi Ji still has great integrity——

"I am an official of Jingzhou. How can I allow you to commit murder in Xiangyang?"

"I will never tell you that Xu You and his group live in the backyard of the County Magistrate's Mansion!"

"I will never tell you that Xu You himself lives in the third wing!"

"Besides, I will not give you my seal! Because with the seal, you can easily enter the county governor's mansion and transfer the guards stationed in the mansion!"

……

Upon hearing this, the two stepped forward and snatched Yi Ji's talisman, and bowed to Yi Ji.

"I thank Brother Ji Bo on behalf of the imperial court!"

Yi Ji looked at the two people leaving with a complicated expression, and couldn't help muttering to himself: "With such young talents, there is hope for the revival of the Han Dynasty!"

Soon, Yi Ji returned home crying.

"I got beaten up today! I feel so aggrieved! Bring me some wine! Bring me some wine! I'm going to drink myself to death tonight! Wuuuuuu!!"

……

Yi Ji was indeed Liu Biao's confidant.

With Yi Ji's seal in hand, Sima Yi and Yang Xiu actually successfully sneaked into the county magistrate's mansion and approached Xu You's residence.

Seeing that there were soldiers patrolling here, Yang Xiu took Yi Ji's seal and was about to step forward to move them away, but was stopped by Sima Yi.

"Dezu, wait a minute!"

Sima Yi signaled Yang Xiu to observe carefully.

"The armored soldiers in front of Xu You's gate are extremely tall, and the weapons they hold are not the swords and shields commonly seen in Jingzhou. Instead, most of them are long spears used to deal with cavalry... I'm afraid these people are not Liu Biao's soldiers!"

Yang Xiu also noticed that the armors of these soldiers were all heavy and had many scratches on them, which showed that they had obviously experienced many battles.

"It looks like they should be Hebei's elite troops!"

No matter how useful Yi Ji's imperial seal was, it was impossible to mobilize the soldiers in Hebei.

Sima Yi looked around the courtyard in distress and found that it was surrounded by Hebei soldiers. There was no blind spot and not even a glimmer of hope.

"How to do?"

Having come this far, are we going to return empty-handed?
Sima Yi touched the short blade in his arms and decided to rush in and fight now!
"Zhongda, wait a minute!"

Sensing Sima Yi's intention, Yang Xiu also stopped Sima Yi. "These are veteran soldiers who have experienced hundreds of battles. Once we show our weapons, how can we compete with them?"

Sima Yi: "What should we do then?"

Yang Xiu suddenly stared at Sima Yi's face, then slowly moved his gaze downwards.

"Zhongda, actually when I first saw you I wanted to tell you that you look...really pretty!"

Sima Yi:?

"Besides, your figure is also like a woman's. So, even if you disguise yourself as a woman, others won't be able to tell..."

Sima Yi was stunned!
"Dezu... wants me to be a girl with you, to seduce... bah! To get close to Xu You?"

Yang Xiu nodded firmly, but Sima Yi's face was as gloomy as water.

"Zhongda! For the sake of the Han people! This little grievance is nothing!"

"Why don't you go dress up?"

"I'm big and my partner can't look like me!"

"Have you tried?"

“Tried!”

……

Sima Yi looked at Yang Xiu in surprise, then took a deep breath.

"That's fine!"

A moment later, Yang Xiu and a pretty woman wearing a skirt and a purple veil covering her face came to Xu You's courtyard.

The soldier soon spotted the two and said, "Stop!"

They held their hands on the hilts of their swords with caution and asked in Hebei dialect, "What are you doing?"

Yang Xiu quickly took out Yi Ji's seal and showed it to the soldiers in a flattering manner.

"Sir, we are Yi Zhubo's men."

"At the banquet today, Yi Zhubo got drunk and offended Lord Xu. Now I am sending a woman to Lord Xu to apologize! I hope Lord Xu can be magnanimous and not blame me."

The soldiers also knew what happened at the banquet today, so they did not suspect anything.

Seeing that the young lady beside Yang Xiu was very attractive, after thinking for a while, he also made way -

"You! Wait here! You! Come in with me!"

Leaving Yang Xiu where he was, the soldiers took Sima Yi into Xu You's courtyard.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he turned the corner, the soldier reached out and attacked Sima Yi's chest!

Sima Yi was suddenly startled.

What is contained in it is the short blade used to assassinate Xu You!
Immediately, Sima Yi quickly turned around and avoided the dangerous attack.

"The little girl is pretty quick?"

The soldier seemed to feel a little sorry, but he still saw the curves behind Sima Yi and grabbed him directly.

"It's pretty good!"

The soldier had taken advantage of the situation and clapped his hands twice: "Wait! I'll report this to Xu Situ right away!"

Sima Yi's face was already black and blue at this moment, and the murderous intent in his eyes had almost become a reality.

After obtaining Xu You's consent, Sima Yi finally walked into Xu You's room amid the salivating eyes of the soldiers.

Before I saw Xu You, a voice came: "Go to the bed and warm it first!"

Sima Yi didn't dare to say anything, for fear that Xu You would find out.

Fortunately, Xu You seemed to be busy dealing with something, and did not care that Sima Yi did not respond. He continued to crawl in front of the table and write something.

Sima Yi deliberately walked very hard, so that his footsteps stopped beside the bed in the inner room. When he arrived, he took off his heavy clogs, took out a sharp short blade from his arms, and slowly approached Xu You.

Xu You was still writing something at this moment.

Sima Yi was like a ghost, walking silently behind Xu You, staring quietly at Xu You's white neck.

However, Sima Yi was soon attracted by the things on Xu You's desk.

That's a letter.

Xu You had already written to the end, so Sima Yi could easily see the previous content.

The above content shocked Sima Yi!
"Xu You actually wants to assassinate Liu Biao?"

Inside Jingzhou, in addition to the Qian Yue and Cai Mao families, there are actually quite a few people who have already colluded with Yuan Shao.

It was they who leaked the news of the imperial court's capture of Shu County to Yuan Shao.

Now Xu You wanted to unite these people to strike first, kill Liu Biao directly, seize the military power in Wen Pin's hands, and take Jingzhou under his command!
The plan above is extremely detailed!
What shocked Sima Yi was that Xu You actually knew many secrets that only the top leaders of Jingzhou knew, which meant that Jingzhou had actually been infiltrated like a sieve!
Fortunately, the current governor of Jingzhou is Liu Biao... If it were someone else, Jingzhou would have fallen into the hands of Yuan Shao like Xuzhou.

In addition, what shocked Sima Yi the most was what Xu You stated in the letter - Yuan Shao had decided to use military force against the imperial court.

This news is so important!

Sima Yi slowly gave up the idea of ​​killing Xu You right now.

He slowly placed the handle of the knife in front of Xu You's throat. The sharp edge illuminated by the candlelight suddenly flashed into Xu You's eyes, and Xu You was so frightened that he was about to scream.

"Don't shout! Don't move!"

Sima Yi held a knife against Xu You's throat with one hand and covered Xu You's mouth with the other hand, completely controlling him.

"From now on, I ask you questions and you answer them! If I sense that you are about to scream from the dagger in my hand, I will kill you immediately! Do you understand?"

A drop of sweat appeared on Xu You's forehead: "I understand! I understand!"

“It’s too loud!”

After saying this, Sima Yi pressed the blade in his hand a little further inward.

Seeing this, Xu You quickly lowered his voice and said, "Understood! I'll answer whatever you ask!"
