| 且说曹操军粮告竭，急发使往许昌教荀彧作速措办粮草，星夜解赴军前接济。使者赍书而往；行不上三十里，被袁军捉住，缚见谋士许攸。那许攸字子远，少时曾与曹操为友，此时却在袁绍处为谋士。当下搜得使者所赍曹操催粮书信，迳来见绍曰：“曹操屯军官渡，与我相持已久，许昌必空虚；若分一军星夜掩袭许昌，则许昌可拔，而曹操可擒也。今操粮草已尽，正可乘此机会，两路击之。”绍曰：“曹操诡计极多，此书乃诱敌之计也。”攸曰：“今若不取，后将反受其害。” | In Cao Cao's army food was also getting scarce, and a message was sent to Capital Xuchang to send grain quickly. The messenger with the letter, however, had not gone far when he fell into the hands of Yuan Shao's guards, who took him to the adviser Xu You. Seeing from the letter that Cao Cao was short of supplies, Xu You went to Yuan Shao and told him, saying, "Cao Cao and we have been at grips here for a long time, and Capital Xuchang must be undefended. A small army sent quickly could take it, and at the same moment an attack here would deliver Cao Cao into our hands. Now is the moment to strike, for his supplies are short." Yuan Shao replied, "Cao Cao is full of ruses, and this letter is artfully designed to bring about a battle to suit himself." "If you do not take this chance, he will do you some injury by and by." |
