Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 234
"What's Cao Cao's intention here?" Jian Yong asked.

"It's to see me off, and give me the customs clearance document." After finishing speaking, Guan Yu handed the document to Jian Yong. Jian Yong saw that it was nothing more than the words that the visitor was ordered to go on a business trip and the Yanlu county released it.

Jian Yong read it and handed it to Guan Yu, "Cao Cao is generous."

"He is afraid that I will kill his general." Guan Yu said, "Let's go."

"Yun Chang, let's not go north, but turn south."

"Why is this?"

"My lord is not at Yuan Shao's place now, but in Runan. General Yide has also arrived in Runan, and the young general is also here." Jian Yong finally told the truth, and he took out Liu Bei's letter. "It's not that I don't believe in Yun Chang, it's just that the relationship is very important. Cao Cao has many eyes and ears, and he is afraid of leaking the news. Don't blame Yun Chang."

Guan Yu took Liu Bei's letter and read it carefully. "Let's go to Runan." He patted his horse and headed south.

Xudu was four hundred miles away from Runan, and with Cao Cao's documents, Guan Yu could travel along the official road without hindrance, and within two days he could already see the city of Runan.

"My lord, General Guan has arrived." Jian Yong went into the city first, reporting to Liu Bei what he had experienced on the road and Cao Cao seeing off Guan Yu.

"Brother, you can't trust him." Zhang Fei said loudly, "How could Cao Cao treat him so well? Cao Cao must have asked him to be an internal response, and he would send an army to come later!"

Guan Ping knelt down on the ground with tears streaming down his face: "Uncle, my father has absolutely nothing against you."

"Let's be honest." Liu Bei helped Guan Ping up, "Yide don't talk nonsense, Yun Chang gave up his official position to reunite with you and me, it is because he never forgot his sworn vow."

"Come here, send out scouts to see if there is Cao Jun." Zhang Fei was still reluctant, but Liu Bei did not stop him.

"Let's go, Yide, Xianhe, and Zizhong, let's go to pick up Yunchang." Liu Bei wiped Guan Ping's tears again, "Tanzhi will lead me the way."

Seeing Liu Bei from a distance, Guan Yu handed the knife to Guan Ping, dismounted from his horse, and knelt down on the ground. "Big brother, third brother!"

Liu Bei's tears flowed down immediately, "Yun Chang...", pulling Zhang Fei to also kneel on the ground. "You and my brother are finally reunited, and we will never be separated again."

Zhang Fei jumped up and said, "Brother, don't be fooled by his tears."

Guan Yu was shocked: "Why did the third brother say that?"

Zhang Fei walked around Guan Yu for a few weeks, pointed at Guan Yu and reprimanded him: "You have already taken refuge in Cao Cao, why do you still recognize our brother? Brother Zhai has a kind heart, you can fool him, but you can't fool me."

"Although I have to rely on Cao Cao, I miss you all the time. I searched everywhere for your whereabouts. When I received a letter from Xianhe, I immediately reunited with my elder brother... Third brother, you have wronged me."

"You didn't come together with us, you clearly wanted to arrest us so that you could ask Cao Cao for credit."

Guan Yu smiled wryly. "Look at me alone, how could I come to be an enemy of big brother."

"Whether it is true or not will be known in a while!"

Not long in the past, the horses came to report, and a military horse was found fifty miles away.Zhang Fei was taken aback, why did Tan Ma come back so soon?Taking a closer look, this is not a scout horse sent by himself.Could it be that the elder brother sent it out?

Zhang Fei was in a daze, and Guan Yu was also in a daze: Could this really be Cao Cao's scheme?It is obvious that he is letting himself go, and then send a large army to encircle and suppress him later.

Guan Yu stood up: "Brother, you only need to give me 1000 troops, and I will cut off the heads to show my heart."

"I'm afraid it's an unknown pawn who came here to die on purpose..." Zhang Fei squinted and said.

Liu Bei also stood up, "Have you ever found out how many troops there are? Who is the general who leads the army?"

Tan Ma said: "The number of people is about several thousand, but the armor does not look like Cao Jun. I only see a word on the general flag."

"Qu?" Guan Yu asked suspiciously. "Cao Cao doesn't have a general surnamed Qu. Isn't this Cao Jun? Where are the troops?"

"I'll just say it's a nobody. Cao Cao put together a group of refugees and sent people to die, trying to deceive us." Zhang Fei remained unyielding.

"General Zhang, that soldier and horse are very well-groomed, with bright armor, and it looks like a strong soldier at first glance." Tan Ma corrected.Liu Bei's scouting horse naturally wouldn't take Zhang Fei's face too seriously. "In addition, apart from the general flag, that man and horse also has a large flag with the word "rock" written on it."

"Panshi? What do you mean?" Liu Bei began to be confused. Thousands of people said more or less, and there was a lot of weirdness everywhere.

"No matter who is coming, we will know after a while." Guan Yu continued to invite Ying, "I will definitely behead and dedicate the head to my brother."

"It's hard to tell whether it's an enemy or a friend. Let's go back to the city and talk." Liu Bei ordered.Then he said to Tanma, "Continue to send people to investigate the incoming army, and send people to investigate in other directions as well."

Zhang Fei stomped his feet, regardless of Liu Bei's going back to the city first.Liu Bei took Guan Yu's hand, "Don't blame the third younger brother, Yun Chang, he is short-tempered, let's go, let's go to the city to discuss countermeasures."

Guan Yu smiled wryly and followed Liu Bei into the city.

"General Yunchang." Zhao Yun took the initiative to salute Guan Yu.

"So it's Zilong." Guan Yu simply nodded without exchanging pleasantries.

Liu Bei patted Zhao Yun on the shoulder, "The scouting horse came to report the enemy's attack, Zilong, hurry up and get on the horse, ready to meet the enemy. Another Zilong called the generals to discuss matters."

"The military situation is urgent. It's too late to clean up Yun Chang. I'll make it up later." Liu Bei said, "No matter who is coming, I'm going to meet him in person."

"Liu Bi listened to the order and ordered you to lead 2000 men and recruit young and strong men to defend the city. Guan Ping, Zi Zhong, and Xianhe defended the city together. Gong Du listened to the order. You led 1000 men and horses as a rear army and transported food and grass. Yun Chang, Yide, Zilong and I camped outside the city."

Liu Bei made arrangements and led 7000 people out of the city to camp for [-] miles, setting up a battle formation.

Zhang Fei sent scouts to come back. "Report, my lord. The other party is camping ten miles away from me. It has been verified that the other party is Xuzhou soldiers and horses, with a total of about 6000 people."

The three of Liu, Guan and Zhang looked at each other. What's the situation? Why did they come from Xuzhou soldiers?What are they doing here?Is Zhou Cang here?
"It seems that they are our enemies." Liu Bei spoke first, and then he was puzzled. "It's just that I didn't have any enmity with him when we were in Xuzhou. Zhou Cang has already acquired Xuzhou, so why did he force him to chase him to Runan? Could it be that he was sent by Cao Cao?"

"Yun Chang, when you went to fetch Xuzhou, did you settle your grudge with Zhou Cang?"

"No, I didn't fight with him, brother should have heard Xianhe said that Zhou Cang gave me a scroll of Spring and Autumn."

"Yun Chang, you were deceived by Zhou Cang. He showed his friendship to you just to make you not be wary of him, just like we are not wary of him spying on Xuzhou in Guangling. Alas, I just realized now that we and Lu Bu were all played by him. You don't notice it in the palm of your hand. Be careful with him!"

"Report." Another group of scouts came back. "Cao Jun was found in the direction of Wancheng. About 5000 people are marching towards Runan. The leader is Cao Ren."

Facing enemies on both sides, the total strength of the opponent has exceeded [-]. Liu Bei took a deep breath and looked at Guan Yu.
