Three Kingdoms: Heir of Wolong, my father-in-law is Guan Gong

Chapter 248 Shen Guan Yu penetrates behind enemy lines (56)

The real commander of the Han army is a top secret.

Except for the core civil and military personnel, most of the Han army officers and soldiers thought that Guan Yu was still in the Chinese army commander's tent.

This prevented Cao Ren from spying on much useful information through his careful operations in the Han army.

Although Xu Huang's battle report was unremarkable, every word of it was true.

Unfortunately.

Just as Guan Yu expected, truth can also turn out to be false.

Cao Ren can't sleep again tonight!
After interrogating for most of the night, Cao Tai asked about the fact that the messenger's wife and children, who were raising children at home, were given to another sergeant by Zhao Yan's men as his wife and children.

Just seeing these messy messages, Cao Ren was even more surprised and confused.

No matter how the messenger was interrogated, his answers were mostly the same.

Seeing Cao Ren's frown, Cao Tai guessed: "General, is there a possibility that the Guan Yu the messenger saw is fake?"

Cao Ren frowned even more: "The Guan Yu the messenger saw may be fake, but the Guan Yu Xu Huang saw is definitely real."

Cao Tai added: "The Guan Yu Xu Huang met may be true, but the distance from Nanxiang City to Guan Yu's main force is at most three hundred miles."

"Guan Yu can go to Nanxiang City and then rush back to the main force, and then leave one person behind to pretend to be Guan Yu."

"Although Guan Yu has a great reputation, not many lieutenants in our army recognize Guan Yu."

"I guess that Guan Yu used fake things to confuse his father and make him misjudge Guan Yu's intentions."

Cao Ren held his chin and thought for a moment: "What are your countermeasures?"

Cao Tai, who desperately wanted Cao Ren's approval, felt happy and said: "What Guan Yu is afraid of is the general's airtight defense in Wancheng."

"No matter what kind of confusing methods Guan Yu uses, he always has only one purpose: to lure the general out of the city!"

"I think the general does not need to pay attention to any rumors from the outside world, even if there are rumors that Xu Huang is colluding with Guan Yu, there is no need to pay attention to them."

"As long as the general does not move, no matter how many tricks Guan Yu tries, they will be useless."

Cao Ren looked at Cao Tai with a little more appreciation: his eldest son is much better than Cao Xiu!
Cao Xiu is nothing but the Cao family's thousand-mile horse, but my son Cao Tai is the Cao family's thousand-mile horse.

"Not bad!"

"You already know a little bit about how to use soldiers."

Cao Ren was generous in his praise.

The current situation is unclear, and acting rashly will only make it easier to fall into the opponent's tricks; it is better to remain unchanged in response to changes and wait for the opponent to show flaws.

Cao Tai, who was praised by Cao Ren, was even more happy.

Seeing that Cao Ren was tired, Cao Tai hurriedly advised: "General, let me stay on guard tonight."

"You have to take charge of an army and are busy with military affairs. You need to be mentally alert before you can deal with Guan Yu."

After working hard for most of the night, Cao Ren was extremely tired, so he fell asleep after giving Cao Tai a few words.

This sleep lasted two hours.

Drowsily, Cao Ren heard Jiang Ji's anxious voice outside the commander's tent.

"Chief Minister Jiang, why are you so anxious?" Cao Ren was wearing single clothes and had a displeased look on his face.

Obviously.

Lack of sleep made Cao Ren very angry when he woke up.

Jiang Ji glanced around and whispered: "Guan Yu defeated Li County."

Cao Ren was startled, and all his energy disappeared in an instant: "Li County is on the upper reaches of the turbulent water. When did Guan Yu go to Li County?"

Jiang Ji shook his head: "I don't know, but early this morning, County Magistrate Li came to report that as soon as the city gate was opened today, Guan Yu attacked the city."

Cao Ren's face turned dark instantly and he gritted his teeth: "I remember that my military order is: No unauthorized opening of the city."

"How dare County Magistrate Li violate our military laws!"

Jiang Ji sighed: "You can't blame County Magistrate Li entirely for this."

"Li County is far away from the war zone. The soldiers and people in the city are unhappy and close the city every day. There are also princes and nobles in Li County who want to return to Luoyang for refuge to incite the soldiers and people."

"Li County Magistrate was afraid of arousing public anger and provoking a civil uprising, so he could only open the city for an hour every evening to let these soldiers and people out of the city."

"But I never thought that I would encounter Guan Yu's cavalry yesterday evening." Such is the war.

Although Cao Ren had made many preparations, Guan Yu's Northern Expedition happened suddenly. Although military orders were issued, the local authorities may not fully comply with them.

Ordinary people need to go out of the city to chop firewood, and princes and nobles want to take refuge in the city. If these people are all locked up in the city, trouble will inevitably occur.

Cao Ren took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart: "Can Magistrate Li see clearly, is it really Guan Yu?"

Jiang Ji shook his head: "County Magistrate Li doesn't recognize Guan Yu, so he can't tell the truth from the false. I feel suspicious, so I came to look for the general."

Cao Ren then exchanged with Jiang Ji the information from Guan Yu's visit to Nanxiang City to meet Xu Huang and the interrogation of the messenger.

Jiang Ji was even more surprised: "This is unreasonable."

"Guan Yu is the commander-in-chief of the three armies, how can he leave so easily?"

"Even if you go to meet Xu Huang and find someone to pretend to be someone else, that would be too risky."

"Based on my understanding of Guan Yu, Guan Yu is more likely to directly lead troops to attack Nanxiang City, rather than just leading a few hundred cavalry to Nanxiang City."

Cao Ren guessed: "Perhaps it's because Guan Yu's navy controls the Han River, Jun River and Dan River in Nanxiang County and is confident."

Jiang Ji shook his head: "That's not right. The only one who appeared in Nanxiang County was Liu Bei's pretender Liu Feng."

"Liu Feng only sent messages to Nanxiang County, and did not block the river to cut off the connection between Nanxiang County and Nanyang County."

After discussing for a long time, Cao Ren and Jiang Ji failed to guess Guan Yu's purpose.

Nan Xiangcheng reminisced with Xu Huang, intercepted and killed Xu Huang's messenger, and then released the messenger to launch a surprise attack on Li County in the upper reaches of the Turbulent River.

It seems true and false at the same time.

a long time.

Cao Ren said decisively: "What's fake is always fake!"

"Ignore the soldiers and horses in Li County for the time being, and pass this news to Champion, Rang County, Anzhong and other cities, so that the generals will take a warning and not leave the city again!"

"I don't believe that Guan Yu will really appear in Li County!"

Jiang Ji also agreed with Cao Ren's decision. The more doubtful the moment, the more he must stay calm.

"Let's wait for news from Luoyang first." Jiang Ji frowned.

There is a post station on the way from Wancheng to Luoyang, which will make the transmission faster.

After several days of galloping, Cao Xiu arrived in Luoyang and sent the battle report of Guan Yu's troops to the palace.

"Raising troops again?"

"Liu Bei, this veteran scoundrel, will never end!"

"Beat Hanzhong and Xiangfan, beat Xiangfan and beat Longyou, beat Longyou and beat Guanzhong, and beat Guanzhong and beat Nanyang."

"He talks about benevolence, justice and morality, but he does all the militaristic things!"

Cao Pi was a little angry.

During this period, Cao Pi was looking forward to a conflict between Sun Quan and Liu Bei every day.

Especially after learning that Guan Yu had robbed Jiangxia County, Cao Pi was so happy that he and Queen Guo had fun on the spot for three days.

Guan Yu robbed Jiangxia County, could Sun Quan endure it?

result.

Cao Pi did not wait for the news of Sun Quan's revenge against Liu Bei. Instead, he waited for the battle report of Guan Yu's troops.

Son, Sun Quan, can you bear this tone?
"Summon Sima Yi, Chen Qun, and Liu Ye quickly to discuss matters."

"Captain Jia is also invited!"

Cao Pi was upset.

Although they gave up Hefei and Shangchang City, Sun Quan and Liu Bei were still harmonious.

Just catch Da Wei and beat him up, right?
