Chapter 746: Unexpected, Hard to Believe
"General Guo. You and I are in the same boat, and if something happens to you, I won't be happy. ”
Guo Yan kept hesitating, and Liu Bei had to continue to persuade.
"If the general doesn't have confidence, then you and I should run first, but is the general willing to give up Luoyang like this?"
"What if you are unwilling, there are many good ministers and fierce generals in Cao Cao's hands, I am afraid that I am not his opponent." Guo Yan expressed the worries in his heart.
At the beginning, he and Li Dao dared to attack Lu Bu.
But now he didn't dare to fight Cao Cao.
"If the general just has no one available in his hands, he is willing to send the third brother Yide to help the general." Liu Bei said.
"Yide is a fierce general in the world, if there is Yide to help, it is a little more sure to block Cao Cao." Guo said.
"The general can rest assured, with Yide's ability, even if he can't stop Cao Jun, he will definitely be able to protect the general's safety." Liu Bei gave Guo Yan another reassurance.
If he could, Liu Bei still wanted to go by himself.
But Guo Yan would definitely not hand over the army to Liu Bei with peace of mind.
When he came over, Liu Bei had already told Zhang Fei in advance.
Sending Zhang Fei to help Guo Yan, in addition to being able to resist Cao Cao, also wanted Zhang Fei to try to control the Xiliang army.
Zhang Fei, who has been honing on the battlefield for ten years, definitely has this ability.
Although Zhang Fei treats the soldiers very harshly, his own strength is there, and it is most likely to arouse the admiration of ordinary soldiers.
The declining Xiliang Army now needs a fierce general like Zhang Fei with 10,000 enemies.
"If I don't need to guard Miyagi, I must go with the general." Liu Bei said.
Knowing that Guo Yan didn't let him go, Liu Bei didn't mention it, but he still had to express it verbally to make Guo Yan feel relieved.
Liu Bei was really worried that Guo Yan would run away before he met Cao Cao halfway.
Without the 30,000 Xiliang army in Guo Yan's hands, Liu Bei would never have been able to stop Cao Cao.
When the time comes, he will definitely let Cao Cao enter Luoyang.
Guo Yan and Zhang Fei set off.
At the same time, Liu Bei also sent someone to inform Tai Shici.
Although Qingniu Pass was lost, this does not mean that Tai Shici's ability is not good.
Now as long as it is the strength that can be pulled, Liu Bei will not give up.
Tai Shici is still in the camp in the northern suburbs, and he has already asked people to send the news to Jizhou.
This mistake is very likely to allow Cao Cao to succeed, and Tai Shici must notify Zhao Hui in advance to see if Zhao Hui has a way to remedy it.
Although Tai Shici didn't know why Zhao Hui attached so much importance to Cao Cao's entry into Luoyang.
But since it was an order given to him, he couldn't be sloppy.
At Qingniu Pass, Dong Cheng had already left on a fast horse.
And Cao Cao's 10,000 army, which has not moved for the time being, is repairing in Qingniu Pass.
But less than half a day after Dong Cheng left, Cao Cao also received the news that Guo Yan personally led the troops to fight.
Cao Cao originally thought that Guo Yan would stay in Luoyang City.
If there was no Liu Bei, Guo Yan would indeed be.
However, Luoyang City was burned down by Dong Zhuo before, and now Liu Xiedong has been returned for less than a month.
Even if Liu Bei had repaired it before, it was only a palace in the imperial city.
Luoyang's city walls and city gates are still in a damaged state, as if they were in a state of fiction.
Really guarding Luoyang City, Cao Cao's 10,000 people can easily rush in.
"Lord, Dong Cheng is going here, I'm afraid I won't be able to do anything." Xun Yu said.
Guo Yan had already sent troops, and Dong Cheng only brought a dozen guards.
And the palace gate is under Liu Bei's control, Dong Cheng wants to see Liu Xie, and Liu Bei has to agree.
Since Guo Yan has sent troops, it is equivalent to indicating that Liu Bei and Guo Yan already know the results of the battle at Qingniu Pass.
Cao Cao wanted Dong Cheng to put the blame on Tai Shici, but there was no possibility.
"Lord, why don't you write a letter to Liu Bei." Xun Yu said.
Cao Cao said: "Liu Bei is afraid that he will not be willing to surrender to me." ”
Cao Cao also fought with Liu Bei, although Liu Bei was silent all these years, but when he was silent and no one paid attention, he controlled Xuzhou after Tao Qian's death.
Xun Yu said: "In the letter, the lord only needs to talk to Liu Bei about the past." In addition, the lord can ask Guan Yu to also write a letter and ask people to send it to Liu Bei. ”
Cao Cao immediately understood what Xun Yu meant.
is not to persuade Liu Bei, but to play the emotional card with Liu Bei.
Although he already knew that Guo Yan led 30,000 Xiliang soldiers to come, Cao Cao did not have much pressure on this.
Cao Cao is now mainly guarding against Tai Shici.
In the first battle of Qingniu Pass, I have already seen the current combat strength of the Xiliang soldiers.
Cao Cao didn't care about it anymore.
Guo Yan's army of 30,000 is not advancing fast.
It took two days to set up camp at a place ten miles away from Qingniu Pass.
Dong Cheng really didn't see Liu Xie, he was stopped by Liu Bei, and then looked at the detention.
Liu Bei did not kill Dong Cheng for the time being.
He received a letter from Cao Cao. There are also feathers.
Cao Cao's letter was mainly to contact feelings, and did not mention the current war.
Guo Yan really didn't take it seriously by Cao Cao.
This letter is mainly about Cao Cao's release of favor to Liu Bei.
I hope Liu Bei won't fight with himself to break the net.
Let Liu Bei know that Cao Cao can accommodate him, and the two sides can work together and serve the Son of Heaven together.
There is no conflict of interest between him and Liu Bei.
On Cao Cao's side of Qingjun, only Guo Yan was clear.
And Guan Yu's letter mainly talks about why he surrendered to Cao Cao, and the agreement with Cao Cao, as well as so that Liu Bei does not need to worry about his wife and concubine.
Liu Bei's wives and concubines are now in Xuchang, and they are very safe.
After Liu Bei read the letters between Cao Cao and Guan Yu, he didn't say anything.
If he could, he was naturally unwilling to share the fruits with Cao Cao, and he was unwilling for Cao Cao to step in.
But Liu Bei is not confident that Guo Yan can stop Cao Cao.
If Guo Yan is defeated, he may really have to cooperate with Cao Cao again.
As for the agreement with Tai Shici to deal with Cao Cao together, Liu Bei would naturally be invalidated at that time and choose to forget.
It is impossible for him to make an alliance with Tai Shici, so he really fights Cao Cao to the end recklessly.
His wives and concubines are all in Cao Cao's hands, and the sworn brothers have surrendered, so what if he also surrenders to Cao Cao.
As a hero who can bend and stretch, these Liu Bei can endure it.
Tai Shici didn't know that because of Cao Cao's letter, Liu Bei already had the idea of cooperating with Cao Cao again.
After learning that Guo Yan had set up camp ten miles before Qingniu Pass, Tai Shici also set off again with the remaining 1,500 troops and states.
This time, the main force is Guo Yan's Xiliang army, and he only needs to be responsible for interfering with Cao's army, looking for opportunities, and launching a fatal blow.
It's just that before Tai Shici arrived at Qingniu Pass this time, he received news that Guo Yan's army of 30,000 had fallen to Cao Cao.
It was hard for Tai Shici to believe it.
Guo Yan arrived at Qingniu Pass, and the 30,000-strong army was self-defeating.
Not only was Tai Shici unbelievable, but even Cao Cao himself was completely unexpected.
He was not afraid of Guo Yan's 30,000 Xiliang army, but he really didn't expect that pie would fall from the sky.
