Cao Cao looked doubtful. Thinking from his perspective, if he was unexpectedly attacked by the enemy, his first priority would be to protect his own safety and place himself in a safe place. He must avoid the enemy from capturing the thief first.
The plan to capture the king...
in other words…
No matter how brave Guan Yu is, how can he kill the opponent's coach when he is hiding? How can he not survive a confrontation?
Thoughts on this…
Cao Cao frowned tightly. "Brother Yi, now is not the time to joke!"
"Brother Hi, I'm going to make a bet with you. Who are you kidding me?"
Yi Xiaotian waved his hand and saw Cao Cao's round and huge eyes almost bursting...
He simply stopped joking and explained seriously.
"Brother Hide, I mean what I say. Although Yan Liang is brave, his personality is too impatient and fiery, and he is too proud. He is by no means a handsome man who can stand alone..."
At this point, Yi Xiaotian clicked his tongue, and what he said next was very meaningful.
"For example, Yan Liang had a characteristic when leading his troops in battle. He would ask the soldiers around him to hold up a large golden embroidered umbrella, and he would sit under the umbrella and command the soldiers. He looked really majestic and proud.
…But…"
Yi Xiaotian only said half of what he said, leaving Cao Cao to experience the rest.
In his words, Yan Liang's big umbrella was called "Huagai" or "Huigai" in ancient times, which is equivalent to the so-called "Yellow Dragon Umbrella" in later generations.
To put it simply, it is a large parasol, which can only be used by high-ranking generals with a pretentious personality and noble status.
Speaking of which, there is nothing wrong with holding up a big embroidered umbrella...
It's so cool and stunning, and it can protect you from the sun and rain, making fighting at home as comfortable as playing at home.
But in the end, this big umbrella was so popular among the rebels that it even exposed the commander's goal, which was very helpful for the enemy to carry out beheading operations.
Of course, Yan Liang doesn't care about this.
In his opinion, the person in the world who can kill his Yan Liang has not yet been born!
Yi Xiaotian said this in an understatement...
But it happened that Cao Cao felt like he was in a state of enlightenment.
He understands, he understands everything... Brother Yi's overall plan is the word "fast". As long as the speed is fast enough, it is impossible for the enemy's reinforcements to arrive. As long as the knife is fast enough, the target is exposed under the canopy umbrella.
Yan Liang, it would be easy to take his head...
Sure enough, for men, being fast is not necessarily a bad thing! The key is that it only needs to be strong enough.
It just so happens that in the field of speed and fierceness, Guan Yu and Guan Yunchang dare to claim second place, while no one in the world dares to claim first place.
Huo, that’s it!
Cao Cao shouted in his heart and clenched his fists fiercely, although his expression still looked very nervous...
However, he seemed to be able to see the dawn of victory.
"Brother Yi, I understand, I understand everything."
Cao Cao suddenly stood up. He bowed his hands and thanked Yi Xiaotian, then waved his hand. "Brother Yi, I will stay soon. Man, you better hurry up!"
Cao Cao didn't wait for Yi Xiaotian to reply...he walked quickly out of the inn.
Yi Xiaotian did not forget to shout: "Brother, when you win the first battle, remember to come to this village, we have to drink a pot of wine to celebrate!"
Hahaha...hahaha...
Cao Cao laughed and said, borrowing Brother Yi's good advice, if he can really win the first battle, then what's the harm in Cao Cao coming here to drink all day?
With this in mind, Cao Cao got on his horse and galloped away...
Under the shroud of moonlight, only the high-pitched neighing of war horses and the increasingly roaring sound of horse hooves can be heard.
…
…
Guandu Port, Cao Ying, in front of the Chinese army's tent.
"Cao Sikong, Guan please fight!"
A big man in green clothes, a green hat, a long beard, and a face as red as a jujube was holding a war horse and shouting that he was going to fight...
He was Guan Yu, and he was so kind to Cao Cao, but he had nothing to repay.
But in the end, he made up his mind that whenever he found out about his brother's whereabouts, he would surrender no matter how far away he was, but... Guan Yunchang couldn't get over this hurdle in his heart. He decided that before leaving, he must make a contribution to Cao Cao! Therefore, he came here to ask for a fight.
.
"Yun Chang, Cao Sikong is not in the account..." Zhang Liao hurried over and reminded him hastily.
"Where is Cao Sikong? When will he return? Guan asked for a fight." Guan Yu had a wisp of beard and a determined look on his face...
He knew that now that Baima Village was under siege, the situation in Guandu could not be changed without delay.
This was a crisis, but in Guan Yu's view, it was also an opportunity. It was an opportunity for him to make great achievements and repay Cao Cao.
"I don't know where Cao Sikong went... As for when he will return, I have no way of knowing!"
Guan Yu is anxious, Zhang Liao is even more anxious!
His tone became stilted. My lord Cao Cao has been elusive recently, leading the Tiger and Ben troops to the south of Guandu at every turn. Even Zhang Liao couldn't understand. What is there in the south? It's so attractive to Cao Cao!
The white horse is surrounded, this stall is imminent, what kind of medicine is Cao Cao selling in this gourd?
But at this moment.
"Da da da…"
The crisp sound of horse hoofbeats resounded throughout Cao Ying's stronghold, and along with the flying dust, dozens of horses were seen roaring towards them.
"Have..." The war horse neighed, and immediately the group of cavalry stopped, and the leader turned over and dismounted, it was Cao Cao.
"Yun Chang, I was just looking for you!" Cao Cao seemed quite happy to see Guan Yu.
"Cao Sikong, Guan asked for a fight!" Guan Yu handed over.
"Ready to fight!"
Unexpectedly, Cao Cao immediately agreed without thinking...
Several military advisors on the side immediately gathered around and whispered in Cao Cao's ears.
"After all, Guan Yu is a surrendered general, not to mention that I heard that Liu Bei is under Yuan Shao's command... If he changes sides in battle... then..."
Hahaha…
Facing the counselors' doubts about Guan Yu, Cao Cao laughed loudly, waved his hands, and seemed to turn a deaf ear to the counselors' words.
He then said to Guan Yu.
"Yun Chang, I will give you five thousand tiger and leopard cavalry, but this time you must take off the heavy armor and travel lightly. I will mobilize the army to make the illusion of crossing the Yellow River, attack from the east and west, and relieve you of the siege of the White Horse.
To gain time…"
At this point, Cao Cao patted Guan Yu on the shoulder. "Yun Chang, you need to remember that the time I can buy is limited, and you must be quick..."
"Don't worry, Cao Sikong."
Guan Yu narrowed his eyes, but his face remained expressionless.
Just like Yan Liang, the most majestic and leading general in Yuan Ying, he never took him seriously.
While talking, Guan Yu got on his horse and planned to order troops...
Cao Cao seemed to notice something, and he shouted: "Wait a minute."
Cao Cao blurted out one sentence and walked to Guan Yu's horse. "Why is Yun Chang's horse so thin?"
"Cao Sikong..." Guan Yu held up his hand, still expressionless. "I am heavy, so the horses I ride are always very thin."
"How can this be done?" Cao Cao looked stern and greeted him hurriedly. "Get that horse quickly..."
"Which one? Which horse?" Zhang Liao wondered...
Cao Cao emphasized his tone. "It's the horse that Yuan Rang, Miaocai, Zixiao, and Zilian asked me for several times..."
Hu... Hearing this, Zhang Liao was startled and hurriedly went to fetch his horse.
Not long after, a war horse with a body like charcoal and a majestic posture was led over.
No wonder Zhang Liao was surprised. Speaking of which, Xiahou Dun, Xia Houyuan, Cao Ren, and Cao Hong were all about to fight over this war horse.
Cao Cao directly handed the reins of the horse to Guan Yu. "Yun Chang, do you recognize this horse?"
"Could this be the red rabbit horse that Lu Bu is riding?" Guan Yu exclaimed.
"It's the red rabbit horse, and now it's given to Yun Chang." Cao Cao seemed quite grand, and he did not forget to tell him again and again. "Yun Chang, the stakes in this battle are very important. You need to remember one word, 'quick'!"
This is what Yi Xiaotian repeatedly emphasized to Cao Cao, and Cao Cao repeatedly emphasized to Guan Yu this time.
At this point, Cao Cao personally helped Guan Yu mount his horse, and he did not forget to say.
"Yun Chang, I will stand here, waiting for news of your victory!"
"Don't worry, Cao Sikong. From Guan's point of view, Yan Liang is just a bidder! Yuan Jun is just a chicken and a dog! It's easy to defeat the thief."
With one sentence blurted out, Guan Yu galloped away with his red rabbit and horse. After ordering his troops, he was about to launch a surprise attack on Yan Liang's troops.
…
call…
Cao Cao exhaled a long breath.
He raised his head, looked up at the sky, and prayed silently in his heart, hoping that this prediction of a great victory would be fulfilled once again by Brother Yi...
The fastest sword in the world, paired with the fastest horse in the world? In front of Guan Yu, would General Yan Liang of Hebei really be the one who "inserts the bid to sell out"? Couldn't he survive a face-to-face encounter?
