Three Kingdoms: Liu Bei seeks the master and seeks to conquer the world

Chapter 210 Zhiwei Yunchang, Cao Cao was jealous

Cao Hong was stunned, his eyes suspicious: "Aren't you going to kill me?"

Guan Yu half-closed his phoenix eyes, and his words made Cao Hong not sure if they were true or false: "Guan can capture you, if he can let you go, he will naturally capture you again. I don't want to send soldiers to Cao Ying again."

Holding the letter, Cao Hong glanced at the generals in Guan Yu's tent, their eyes were full of contempt.

They seem to be saying: If I can capture you, if I can let you go, I will naturally be able to capture you again.

"Guan Yu, you will regret it!" Cao Hong said harshly.

After Cao Hong left, Lu Su expressed his doubts: "General Guan, Cao Hong is a mighty general under Cao Cao's command, why did you let him go back?"

"If you don't want to have a death feud with Cao Cao, after Cao Cao retreats, it's better to let him redeem with gold and silver than to send him back directly."

Guan Yu stroked his beautiful beard carefully, his eyes were as deep as a pool: "Zijing, if you are Cao Cao. If the Pioneer Camp is robbed, the Pioneer will be captured alive and then released."

"The letter persuading him to retreat is also very arrogant. Will you retreat?"

Lu Su was silent.

After pondering for a while, Lu Su's tone became a little more solemn: "The soldiers can retreat, but at least they have to win one game, otherwise how can they convince the crowd?"

Guan Yu laughed loudly: "Even Zijing you think so, how can Cao Cao and his brave generals see the letter and retreat?"

"Immediately send someone to deliver a letter to Tao Qian, saying that our army has won a great victory, and ask Tao Qian to send someone to carry Cao's luggage and soldiers."

"If Tao Qian asked, he would say that Tao Qian personally went out of the city to rob the camp in this battle, and Tancheng needs a victory to stabilize the morale of the army."

Lu Su shivered, and immediately understood Guan Yu's intentions.

Inside Tancheng.

Knowing that Guan Yu had defeated Cao Hong in the city and that Tao Qian was sent to take over Cao Hong's camp supplies, Tao Qian felt quite uncomfortable.

He had lost consecutive battles, but Guan Yu won the battle as soon as he came.

This stark contrast made Tao Qian extremely incompetent.

"Your general doesn't want the luggage in the camp?" Tao Qian looked suspiciously at the soldiers sent by Guan Yu to deliver the message.

The soldiers had obviously been ordered in advance, and said: "My general said that the envoy needs this big victory even more. It can be falsely claimed that the envoy personally led the general to rob the camp, so as to calm the hearts of the army and people in Tancheng."

Tao Qian was taken aback for a moment, and quickly came to his senses.

This mood is also a lot happier.

"Xuande's brother-in-law is really generous."

"Cao Bao, quickly lead your troops out of the city, and move the baggage and soldiers from Cao Hong's camp."

Cao Bao was also happy and said: "The general is quite good at handling things. The soldiers and civilians in the city know that Duke Ming has won a great victory, and their morale will definitely recover."

Tao Qian's mood became more joyful.

Although this victory was won by Guan Yu, as long as the soldiers and civilians in the city know that Tao Qian personally led the general to rob the camp, the soldiers and people in the city will trust Tao Qian even more.

After consecutive defeats, there was a sudden victory.

The restless soldiers and civilians in the city will naturally feel at ease.

So Tao Qian sent Cao Bao out of the city with great fanfare to carry the luggage and soldiers, and everyone said that last night "Tao Shijun led Cao Bao, Cao Hong and other generals to rob the camp, beheaded the generals and captured the flag, defeating Cao Hong, the general of the Cao camp."

Guan Yu took the opportunity to retreat and set up camp thirty miles away.

And on the other side.

Cao Hong fled back to the main village in embarrassment.

Knowing that Cao Hong had been robbed by Guan Yu and nearly wiped out his entire army, even Cao Hong himself was captured alive, Cao Cao was furious: "The general warned you earlier that you need to beware of Qingzhou soldiers and horses. How could you be so careless?"

Cao Hong said aggrievedly: "The end general doesn't know! Then Guan Yu suddenly appeared outside Tancheng and robbed the camp at night."

Cao Cao was so angry that he wanted to laugh: "You don't even know when Guan Yu appeared outside Tancheng. If you are so careless, how can you convince the crowd if you don't kill him. Someone, drag Cao Hong down and kill him!"

Seeing that Cao Cao was really angry, Cao Ren, Xia Houdun, and Xia Houyuan came out to intercede.

Xi Zhicai also said: "Duke Ming. Guan Yu has been in battle for a long time. He once conquered Luoyang with Lu Zhi and won many victories. When Chen Liu faced Yuan Shu, he also deceived Yuan Shu and attacked Fengqiu City by surprise."

"Guan Yu was unprepared for his mental calculations, and General Cao Hong's defeat was unjust."

"The most urgent thing is to find out the purpose of Guan Yu's trip to the south first, which is the most important thing."

Cao Cao didn't intend to really kill Cao Hong at first, but after seeing the generals pleading for mercy, Xi Zhicai also gave a reason not to kill Cao Hong, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and scolded:

"Looking at the generals, I have the right to spare your life."

"If you make another mistake, you will never be forgiven."

Cao Hong kowtowed to thank him, and then took out Guan Yu's letter: "Guan Yu said that we robbed the camp because we destroyed the farmland and looted the money and food of the people in the farmland."

Hearing this reason, Cao Cao's eyes gradually darkened: "What's the matter with Tao Qian's farmland and the farmer's people in Qingzhou?"

Cao Hongyu was angry: "Guan Yu's generals said that everyone in the world knows that Liu Bei entrusted Governor Tao to settle [-] hungry people in the East China Sea. By destroying the farmland and looting the people in the farmland, we are making an enemy of Qingzhou."

"Guan Yu sent the letter to Duke Ming at the end of the day, saying that Qingzhou would never die with those who corrupted the East China Sea farmers and spring farmers."

Xiahou Dun was furious: "What a big tone! Do you really think that I will be afraid of him and Guan Yu will fail? Minggong, the last general will invite you to fight!"

Cao Ren and Xia Houyuan were also furious.

To rob the camp is to rob the camp, and to use such an arrogant reason, isn't that pure humiliation?

With a cold face, Cao Cao spread out Guan Yu's letter.

Seeing the contents of the letter, Cao Cao couldn't hold back his anger anymore.

with a snap.

Cao Cao tossed the letter and said, "Guan Yu, how dare you be so arrogant! The generals obeyed the order and immediately marched into Tancheng, and they will not withdraw until they break Tancheng. How can a mere two thousand soldiers resist this general!"

"Minggong wait a minute!" Xi Zhicai hurriedly stopped Cao Cao and picked up Guan Yu's letter.

After scanning the contents of the letter, Xi Zhicai couldn't hold back his anger.

But soon, Xi Zhicai broke into a cold sweat again, and persuaded: "Minggong, Guan Yu has the intention of being an aggressive general, so don't be fooled easily! If Guan Yu can hide the truth from General Cao Hong's spies, it is very likely that he has hidden his troops in the East China Sea long ago. .”

"Tibetan soldiers in the East China Sea, but sit back and watch Tao Qian lose a series of battles. He didn't show up until General Cao Hong entered Tancheng. It must have been premeditated."

"Now he is using a letter to motivate the general again. This is to lure Minggong to go to Tancheng."

"What if Qingzhou is in the East China Sea, and there are more than two thousand soldiers?"

"The praying mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole follows behind. If Liu Bei's goal is also Xuzhou, Minggong will make a wedding dress for Liu Bei."

Cao Cao suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and his anger was swept away: "Zhicai is right. Guan Yu didn't show up until we reached Tancheng."

"Qingzhou obviously has other intentions."

Paused.

Cao Cao regained his composure: "The army advances to Tancheng normally, and releases all the scouts. Don't fall into Guan Yu's trick again!"

Two days later, Cao Cao's army arrived in Tancheng.

However, the intelligence scouts found made Cao Cao fearful.

"Guan Yu withdrew his troops and set up camp thirty miles away. Tancheng declared with great fanfare that Tao Qian had left the city himself to rob the camp."

"Worthy of being Lu Ziqian's outstanding disciple, Tao Qian recovered from his low morale after losing streak."

"The city of Tancheng is high and the water is deep, and if our army wants to defend Guan Yu, we will definitely not be able to attack the city with all our strength. Morale will fluctuate one after another, and Tancheng will not be able to take it down."

"Tao Qian can also take this opportunity to tell the soldiers and civilians in the city that reinforcements from Qingzhou have arrived in the East China Sea, and the morale in the city will be unprecedentedly high."

"Good calculation!"

Cao Cao clenched his fists.

Now Cao Cao is a little bit hard to get off.

Attack Tancheng, the morale in the city is recovering, and Guan Yu is also staring at it; don't attack Tancheng, Cao Cao is unwilling.

At this time, people reported that Guan Yu's soldiers and horses appeared in the north and invited Cao Cao to speak.

Cao Cao's eyes became even more gloomy.

Under the escort of Xu Chu, Cao Cao came to the front of the battle. Seeing Guan Yu's first camp flag waving and the army in order, Cao Cao dared not be negligent.

I saw Guan Yu riding a red rabbit horse, holding a knife and riding a horse, and came to the center of the two formations alone.

"General Cao, you are safe and sound." Guan Yu squinted his red phoenix eyes, and his tone was cold and arrogant.

Cao Cao also rode out on horseback, but Xu Chu followed closely.

Although Guan Yu seemed to have no intention of fighting, Cao Cao was not sure whether Guan Yu would take the opportunity to capture himself alive.

If this was captured alive by Guan Yu before the battle, then Cao Cao would be ashamed.

"Farewell to Fengqiu City, General Guan is as brave as ever. Cao thanked General Guan for releasing Zi Lian." Cao Cao looked at Guan Yu with fear, admiration, and regret.

I am afraid of Guan Yu's bravery, admire Guan Yu's bravery, and regret that Guan Yu is not his own general.

Guan Yu's tone didn't change much: "General Cao, looking at the old feelings, Guan let Cao Hong go, and also wrote a letter to persuade General Cao to withdraw. Why do you still have troops coming to Tancheng today?"

Cao Cao sneered: "Tao Qian took Xiaopei by force, but Cao persuaded him with good words, but he sent more troops to Xiaopei, and even sneered. If Cao didn't capture Tao Qian alive, wouldn't everyone in the world think Cao was easy to bully?" ?”

"On the contrary, it was General Guan who robbed the camp a few days ago, which made Cao feel very embarrassed."

Guan Yu said: "General Cao defeated Tao Qian in a row, and more than ten thousand soldiers and horses in Xuzhou were killed or injured. Even if there is anger, it should be dispelled."

"In the East China Sea, there are [-] villagers in Qingzhou who are farming, but because of General Cao's troops, they suffered military disasters for no reason."

"Guan robbed the camp only to protect the villagers of Qingzhou, and had no other intentions."

Cao Cao laughed: "General Guan's reasoning is not convincing."

Guan Yu squinted Danfeng's eyes: "General Cao, since you said that Tao Qian took Xiaopei City by force, how about Guan returning Xiaopei City to Yuzhou for General Cao?"

Cao Cao's smile stopped abruptly: "General Guan, what do you mean by that?"

Guan Yu stroked his beard: "Qingzhou and Xuzhou originally had an alliance, and Xuzhou suffered a military disaster. How can Qingzhou not save it?"

"The dispute between Henan and Xu lies in the ownership of Xiaopei and other cities."

"General Cao is unwilling to abandon Xiaopei City, and Tao Qian is also unwilling to abandon Xiaopei City."

"In order to avoid hurting the peace, this little Peicheng will be taken over by Qingzhou for the time being."

"When General Cao retreats, Qingzhou will hand over Xiaopei City. In this way, General Cao will benefit, and Tao Qian will no longer miss Xiaopei City."

"Does General Cao think so?"

Cao Cao was taken aback: "Have you entered Xiaopei City?"

Guan Yu said frankly: "Don't worry. My brother Yide should have just received an order at this time. It will take some time to walk from Nancheng to Xiaopei."

"General Cao can think clearly, do you really want to fight Qingzhou forever?"

Stunned!

It was unabashed shock.

Just as Guan Yu said to Lu Su, when marching and fighting, only the dominant side is qualified to fight against the weak side to analyze the pros and cons.

If you want Cao Cao to retreat, you have to put Cao Cao at a disadvantage.

"Could it be Zheng Xianmou's strategy to go south from Qingzhou this time?" Cao Cao kept his voice in a condensed voice.

Guan Yu said slowly, "General Cao, please excuse Guan's outspoken words. If it was Mr. Xianmou's plan this time, General Cao would not have the opportunity to talk to Guan like this."

"If Mr. Xianmou makes a move, General Cao will have to flee alone like Yuan Shu under Fengqiu City."

"Don't be angry, Mr. Xianmou actually made two shots."

"For the first time, I wiped out the yellow scarves to help Guan's elder brother gain a foothold in Qingzhou."

"For the second time, Yuan Shu was defeated, and Yuan Shu, who had betrayed the alliance, retreated to Huainan."

"General Cao, you should feel lucky!"

Cao Cao subconsciously clenched the hilt of his sword.

But Xu Chu beside him couldn't bear it anymore: "Ming Gong, let Chu fight Guan Yu!"

Cao Cao stopped Xu Chu.

Although Guan Yu's words are arrogant and infuriating, the truth is true.

Just Guan Yu has already made Cao Cao's plan in Xuzhou fail. If he continues to provoke Qingzhou, he will really die forever.

"Liu Chong of Chen Guo is still there. If we completely turn against Qingzhou at this time, Liu Chong will definitely send troops to break my way back."

"Liu Xuande sat back and watched Tao Qian's defeat in Pengcheng, and deliberately let our army go deep into Tancheng, just to deceive me that I can't return to Yuzhou in time."

"If I don't retreat, I will die without a place to die."

"Chen Wang Liu Chong, we have to solve it as soon as possible."

Cao Cao took a deep breath.

Now is not the time for Cao Cao to compete for a moment.

It is not easy to expel Yuan Shu from Yuzhou. If Cao Cao insists on attacking Tancheng at this time, not only will he be unable to advance or retreat, but Yuzhou may also fall into Liu Bei's hands.

Cao Cao didn't want to lose Yuzhou and make Liu Bei cheaper.

"Hahaha!" Cao Cao laughed three times: "General Guan, Mr. Cao admires Liu Qingzhou a lot, so why would he stay with Qingzhou forever? It was Mr. Cao who failed to restrain the military discipline and caused the villagers of Qingzhou to suffer."

"Please General Guan to apologize to the villagers of Qingzhou on Cao's behalf."

"If Liu Qingzhou is interested in the future, he can come to Xu County to have a drink and have a drink. Cao will definitely sweep the bed to welcome him!"

Seeing that Cao Cao was submissive, Guan Yu didn't say much anymore: "General Cao is so kind, Guan will definitely report back to his brother, please!"

Cao Cao turned around, his face instantly gloomy.

"What a Guan Yu!"

"Liu Xuande has this brother, he will become a confidant in the future."

Although Cao Cao also had clan brothers such as Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Xiahouyuan, and Xiahoudun, none of them could be as independent as Guan Yu.

In terms of wisdom and courage, Cao Ren and others will not be able to compare with Guan Yu!
While this made Cao Cao jealous, he also felt more envious and jealous towards Liu Bei.

"Withdraw troops and return to Yuzhou immediately!"

As soon as Cao Cao returned to the main formation, he gave the order to withdraw his troops.

Xiahou Dun was puzzled: "Duke Ming, Tao Qian was so timid that he would not dare to leave the city easily; why don't we concentrate our forces and defeat Guan Yu first! If we fight more and less, I don't believe Guan Yu can stop him!"

Cao Hong also said bitterly: "Duke Ming, Hong is willing to be the vanguard! The revenge of robbing the camp, the humiliation of being captured alive, Hong will definitely make Guan Yu pay the price!"

Cao Cao glanced at the generals, shook his head and sighed: "Everyone, bear with today's humiliation for now! Zhang Fei has already stationed troops in Nancheng. If we don't withdraw our troops, we will have no way back."
