许攸:“许攸。”许攸穿许攸:“?”:“!”:“袁绍。”:“。”:“袁绍。”:“袁绍。”:“?”:“。”:“。”:“。”Xu You stealthily left the camp and set out for Cao Cao's lines. He was captured on the way. He told his captors: "I am an old friend of the Prime Minister. Go and tell the Prime Minister that Xu You of Nanyang wishes to see him." They did so. Cao Cao was resting in his tent, his clothing loose and comfortable after the toils of the day. When he heard who wished to see him, he arose quite joyfully and hastily ran out, on bare feet, to receive Xu You. Cao Cao went forth to greet him. They saw each other in the distance, and Cao Cao clapped his hands with gladness, bowing to the ground when near enough to his visitor. Xu You hastened to help him rise, saying, "Sir, you, a great minister, should not thus salute a simple civilian like me." "But you are my old friend, and no name or office makes any difference to us," replied Cao Cao. "Having been unable to choose the lord I would serve, I bowed my head before Yuan Shao wishing to support him sincerely. But he was deaf to my words and disregarded my plans. Wherefore I have left him and come now to see my old friend from whom I hope employment." "If you are willing to come, then have I indeed a helper," said Cao Cao. "I desire you to give me a scheme for the destruction of Yuan Shao." "I counseled him to send a light force to take Capital Xuchang and at the same time attack here in full scale so that head and tail be both attacked." Cao Cao was alarmed, saying, "If he does so, I am lost!" "How much grain have you in store?" said the new adviser. "Enough for a year." "I think not quite," said Xu You, smiling. "Well, half a year."
