The next day, in Yanjin, a man came to Yuan Shao early in the morning.
"Lord, Liu Bei has been captured alive by us!"
This was the leader who went to capture Liu Bei before, an unknown Yamen general.
Yuan Shao, who had not shown a smile for a long time, started laughing wildly after hearing this.
"Haha! Okay, someone will chop Liu Bei up for me and hang it in front of the city gate!"
Guan Yu killed two of his generals. How could Yuan Shao not be angry at all? Now that Liu Bei died in his own hands, how could he not smile and feel much more comfortable involuntarily?
"Isn't Guan Yu very capable? Now that your eldest brother has died in my hands, I would like to see how proud you are!"
There was a trace of ferocity in Yuan Shao's eyes, and he sneered: "I changed my mind. We will not attack the city today. Send the news about Liu Bei to Chen Liu!"
Several soldiers came forward to bow and said: "No!"
Yuan Shao said calmly: "I heard that the three brothers were sworn brothers. Liu Bei died here today. I don't believe it. Guan Yu will not come!"
Similarly, Yuan Shao's scene was watched by everyone below. Some showed expressions of joy, while others were worried.
Gao Lan and Zhang He looked worried when they saw this scene.
Yuan Shao is so cruel and violent, has he deviated from the lord he originally followed? Is this still the original Yuan Shao who was the fourth generation and three princes?
You know, Yuan Shao is still quite popular among the people in Jizhou, but now it seems that he has obviously lost his humanity.
The successive defeats had already caused some separation between the soldiers and Yuan Shao, and the current scene even made some soldiers feel chilled.
Among Chen Liu, in a seemingly peaceful environment, a person stepped directly into the administration office.
I saw Guan Yu coming here with no expression on his face, neither sad nor happy.
"Lord, Guan asked to borrow 50,000 troops to attack Yuan Shao!"
He glanced at Guan Yu with a smile and asked, knowingly: "I wonder why Yunchang borrowed troops?"
Nowadays, everyone knows about Liu Bei's murder. However, Guan Yu didn't really believe it at first, but the fact has spread widely, which means that it is probably true.
"Now that my eldest brother has died at the hands of Yuan Shao, according to the agreement, Guan has no way to follow my eldest brother and should continue to serve my lord."
"But Guan has only one request now, to avenge his eldest brother!"
After hearing this, Cao Cao showed a hint of surprise and looked deeply at Guan Yu. Guan Yu's eyes did not dodge and he also looked at Cao Cao.
Looking at the hesitant Cao Cao, Guan Yu bowed again and said: "Thirty thousand, Guan only needs thirty thousand troops!"
However, Cao Cao waved his hand and refused, and only heard him say lightly: "Fifty thousand, I will give you fifty thousand elite soldiers, all of whom will obey your orders!"
Everyone around them showed a sense of shock. Cao Cao was really suspicious of him. He gave the military power in his hands as soon as he asked. He had given it back to Qu Yi before, and now Guan Yu didn't hesitate to borrow troops.
Guan Yu's eyes below were also stunned for a moment. Logically speaking, waiting for Yuan Shao to run out of food and grass in Chenliu is the best option now.
Moreover, Yuan Shao's food and grass could not last more than a few days, but Cao Cao did not ask any questions and directly handed over the military power to him.
Although Guan Yu was a little surprised, he was not at all restrained. He bowed again and said: "The general will definitely live up to his mission!"
After saying that, he turned around and prepared to leave.
"etc!"
Zhao Feng's voice came: "There is a tips bag here. If you encounter a crisis, just open it."
Guan Yu showed a hint of surprise, then nodded and took the bag.
He still has great trust in Zhao Feng, and he has seen his abilities long ago.
Looking at Guan Yu walking away, Cao Cao looked at Zhao Feng and asked: "Is this battle a defeat or a victory?"
This was obviously news that Yuan Shao deliberately released. They knew better than anyone else that the purpose was to anger Yuan Shao and make him take the initiative to leave the city and attack Yanjin.
Zhao Feng said calmly: "Now Yuan Shao has laid countless traps around Yanjin, waiting for Guan Yu to go. This battle is more likely to be dangerous than bad!"
A discerning person would be able to spot such a clumsy plan at a glance, and Guan Yu must have known about it, but he was extremely arrogant and did not take Yuan Shao into his eyes at all.
In this way, Guan Yu continued to move forward without hesitation.
"In this case, we might as well take advantage of our strategy and let Guan Yu have a battle with Yuan Shao and let him lose."
Cao Cao pondered for a moment, walked aside and took a look at the sky. It was noon now, only three hours before sunset, and then he showed a smile.
"Commander, are you going to give him a heads up?"
If the 50,000-strong army were defeated, Cao Cao would still be very distressed.
Seeing Cao Cao looking like this, Zhao Feng smiled and said, "Didn't I already give Yun Chang a piece of advice?"
Only then did Cao Cao remember it, and then he smiled.
"The military advisor is so confident. Did you already guess the outcome before the two armies fought?"
Seeing Zhao Feng's appearance, Cao Cao couldn't help but fell into deep thought.
Looking at Zhao Feng talking freely with him in front of him, he seemed to have no idea about the jade pendant.
However, this thought only lasted for a moment. Cao Cao shook his head and his eyes condensed. No, no, he definitely knew about this!
He just didn't accept this fact, and then the guilt appeared in Cao Cao's eyes again.
Sensing Cao Cao's sudden strangeness, Zhao Feng knocked on the table. Only then did Cao Cao come back to his senses, coughed a few times, and all the previous expressions on his face disappeared.
"Military advisor, what's the matter?"
Zhao Feng said calmly: "Let Zhang Liao, Qu Yi, and Dian Wei organize the army and go to the rear of Baima Mountain. Then we will be able to welcome Guan Yu who has returned from the defeat."
Hearing this, Cao Cao's eyes brightened, and he understood Zhao Feng's intention, which was to use a trick to let Guan Yu take the initiative. When Guan Yu is defeated, he will definitely escape towards Baima Mountain, and Yuan Shao will definitely come to pursue him!
Cao Cao nodded and said, "Okay, just follow the military advisor's instructions."
In Yanjin, a scout came to Yuan Shao, bowed and said: "My lord, it is as you said, Guan Yu is furious and has brought fifty thousand elite soldiers to kill him!"
After hearing this, Yuan Shao showed a faint smile and said: "Gao Lan, are Zhang He and others ready?"
The corners of his mouth curved, revealing a sinister expression!
For some reason, Gao Lan, Zhang He and others down below always felt uncomfortable.
Despite this, the two of them still nodded and bowed and said: "We are all ready. When the time comes, Guan Yu comes to spread his wings and there is no way to escape!"
Ever since Guan Yu killed two generals, Yuan Shao was extremely resentful of him, and he even went so far as to kill Liu Bei for it!
This trap outside Yanjin was set up by him personally. If Guan Yu really dared to come here, he would definitely take Guan Yu's life!
"You guys go down and get ready. Guan Yu should be almost there in an hour."
