After listening to Cao Cao's analysis, Xun Yu couldn't help but nodded. The fact that Cao Cao could think of this proved that he had indeed considered his concerns.
"Everything has been explained, then help me prepare a gift. Yuan Jiujiu is our good neighbor after all. It can't be too shabby, right? Remember, the more valuable the gift is, the more precious it is, the rarer the better, and I will be attending the wedding.
Send the message back to Jizhou, remember to send scouts through Yangping."
Now that the words have been spoken, there is no need for Cao Cao to talk so much nonsense.
"My lord, leave these to me. I promise to choose the rarest gift to send, and carefully select a few beauties. Yuan Zhoumu will definitely fall in love with it, hahahaha."
Cao Cao and Xun Yu both laughed and said nothing.
The next day, Cao Cao's post horse set off from Dongjun and rushed towards Xindu. When passing through Yangping, he specifically told the postman at the post station the news about Cao Cao, and the postman immediately rushed towards the county with the news.
"Lord, there is news from Cao Cao."
Cheng Yu hurried to Liu Bei's official residence with the news from the postman.
"Zhongde, don't be impatient, sit down first."
Seeing Cheng Yu coming, Liu Bei quickly asked him to take a seat.
"My lord, Cao Cao has decided to attend Yuan Zhoumu's wedding."
Liu Bei was calm and steady, but Cheng Yu was a little anxious.
"Then what should we do now? The Qingzhou Yellow Turban has moved westward. It is a critical moment. Something may happen in January."
Liu Bei looked at Cheng Yu with a questioning look in his eyes.
"My lord, Yuanzhou Mu is getting married. With Cao Cao's temperament, it is impossible for his subordinates to leak the news easily. He means that even I, the prefect of Yanzhou, must attend. You, the prefect of Yangping, will be ugly if you don't go. So,
You must go on this trip.”
Cheng Yu didn't think twice and answered Liu Bei's question directly.
"Well, in that case, after I leave, all matters in Yanzhou will be left to you. Zhao Yunchang and Yide will come to the house. I have something important to announce."
Now that Cheng Yu has decided, Liu Bei has nothing to hesitate.
In fact, his only role in Yangping was to suppress his two good brothers. If he left, they might not know what would happen to them, so he wanted to recruit Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to come over and beat them up in front of Cheng Yu.
After a while, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei came hand in hand.
"Brother."
"Brother."
The two of them entered the room and greeted Liu Bei directly.
"Um?"
Liu Bei suddenly raised his eyebrows, and his face fell instantly.
"Brother, why do you look so ugly? Is there something difficult?"
When Guan Yu saw Liu Bei's change of expression, his heart sank.
"That's right, brother, if anyone messes with you, I'll catch him and whip him a dozen times."
Zhang Fei also raised his eyebrows and quickly spoke to Liu Bei.
"What do you think?"
Liu Bei asked back to the brothers with a dark face.
"us?"
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were stunned for a moment.
"Third brother, what did you do again? Make eldest brother angry."
After hearing this, Guan Yu directly asked Zhang Fei.
"How is that possible? I've been keeping to myself recently and haven't broken any taboos. It must be you, second brother, who did something."
Upon hearing Guan Yu's words, Zhang Fei's originally dark face instantly turned darker.
"snort."
Liu Bei snorted coldly when he saw the two arguing.
"Brother, don't be angry. I admit that I drank a little too much in the past two days. Can't I change it in the future?"
Feeling that Liu Bei was really angry, Zhang Fei quickly admitted his mistake like a child who made a mistake.
"Is this what I'm talking about?"
Liu Bei's face turned even darker.
"Then I have nothing else to do."
"I'm fine too."
Zhang Fei was in a daze, and Guan Yu was also in a daze next to him.
"Didn't you see that the military advisor is also here? Why do you only salute me but not the military advisor? Is this how I taught you, brother?"
If it were normal times, Liu Bei would not have interfered with the little details between the two brothers, but these are extraordinary times, and Liu Bei is not used to them.
Liu Bei slammed the table and shouted at the two brothers.
"Military advisor, Guan Yu is polite."
"That's polite."
The two of them were stunned at first, but they didn't want to make Liu Bei unhappy over some trivial matter, so they bowed their hands to Cheng Yu.
"Second General, Third General, you are polite."
Cheng Yu also stood up and greeted Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.
"Take a seat."
Although the two of them paid tribute to Cheng Yu, this time he wanted to beat the two brothers, so he still had a dark face.
"Thank you, brother."
Seeing that Liu Bei still had a dark face, the two of them quickly and cautiously took their seats.
"Second brother, third brother, Cao Mengde from Dongjun have already gone to Xindu to attend Yuan Zhoumu's wedding. After discussing with the military advisor, I decided to leave in person and go to Xindu to attend Yuan Zhoumu's wedding."
Liu Bei directly informed Cao Cao of his decision to go to Xindu.
"Brother, what do you care about Cao Cao's bad guy? We haven't settled the score with him in the battle in Dongjun yet. If he dares to come to Jizhou, see if I don't take his head."
Hearing that Cao Cao dared to go to Xindu, Zhang Fei stood up suddenly, sparks of anger bursting out of his eyes.
"Third brother, I don't need you. Second brother will take action. The head on Cao Cao's neck belongs to me."
Guan Yu also stood up, with the same intention and the same anger.
In the battle of Dongjun, they first defeated the Yellow Turban rebels, and then were defeated by Cao Cao's sneak attack. Therefore, the two of them had been holding back their anger and wanted to win back the city. If Cao Cao dared to enter Jizhou, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei would definitely
Will lead troops to kill him.
"Nonsense."
Liu Bei felt like he was going to be pissed off, especially Guan Yu.
It's okay for Zhang Fei to commit a crime. Guan Yu, you should follow him and commit a crime.
As the saying goes, those who are close to red are red and those who are close to ink are black. Don't be led astray, second child.
"What is nonsense? Did he just give up on attacking us in Dongjun?"
After hearing Liu Bei's words, Zhang Fei did not dare to refute, but he still whispered in a low voice.
"Third brother, are you still talking?"
Liu Bei's eyebrows raised again.
"If you don't say it, don't say it."
Zhang Fei pouted and stopped talking.
"Two generals, Cao Mengde is here to attend Yuan Zhoumu's wedding. If he is kidnapped and killed in Jizhou, what do you think will be the consequences?"
Cheng Yu smiled slightly and spoke to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.
"As long as I can kill Cao Cao, I am willing to accept any consequences."
Zhang Fei still pouted and replied.
"Third brother, if you dare to talk nonsense again, I will drive you out."
Liu Bei slapped the table again, startling Zhang Fei.
"The military advisor asked me to say it."
Zhang Fei was also speechless.
"My Lord, don't be angry. Second General, how do you feel?"
Zhang Fei was a little reckless, Cheng Yu missed him and looked at Guan Yu beside him.
Guan Yu is different from Zhang Fei. He has strategy, courage, and the style of a general. With a little training, he will definitely become a handsome man who can stand alone.
"Military advisor, I know the consequences. It's just Yuan Shu who will be blamed. However, the benefits of doing so are also obvious."
Hearing Cheng Yu's inquiry, he became rude.
"What are the benefits? I would like to hear the details."
Cheng Yu smiled slightly and motioned for Guan Yu to continue.
"If Cao Cao can be robbed this time, don't kill him for the time being. After being imprisoned, he will lead an army to Dongjun and exchange Cao Cao's orders for a place in Dongjun. It must not be difficult. After deceiving Dongjun, we can kill him.
.
In this case, firstly, the property will be returned to its original owner, and secondly, the revenge of Dongjun will be avenged. Even if Yuan Shu is blamed, we will have the land of Dongjun to settle down and live in it. If Yangping gives it up, we will give it up."
