Guanzhong Chang'an City.

Suddenly received Cao Cao's letter asking for help, Liu Yu was not surprised at all, as if he had expected it.

After Yuan Shao unified the four states of Hebei, he had 700,000 troops, nearly twice the strength of Cao Cao, and the four courts of Hebei Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Zhang He, Gao Ran, etc. should not be underestimated.

Although Yuan Shao is strong and unmatched in military strength, in Liu Yu's eyes, Cao Cao has always been more threatening than Yuan Shao.

He was not only thinking about whether to help Cao Cao, but also whether he would simply drag Cao Cao back and let Yuan Shao destroy Cao Cao.

I hesitated, but I just felt that it didn't seem appropriate to do this, so I asked Guo Jia to discuss.

Guo Jia thought for a while, shook his head and said, "It's not appropriate." ”

Liu Yu asked, "Why?" ”

Guo Jia said: "Yuan Shao's army is prosperous, twice as much as Cao Cao, if he defeats Cao Cao, he will definitely quickly annex Cao Cao's Yan, Henan, Xu Sanzhou and Luoyang and other places like Mount Tai, and Yuan Shao's troops can break one million within a year or two." And if Cao Cao wins, it is to defeat the strong with the weak, the loss will inevitably be not small, it will be difficult to swallow Yuan Shao's four states of Hebei in a short period of time, and when he annexes the four states of Hebei step by step, the troops will continue to be consumed during the period, and it will be difficult for Cao Cao to have millions of soldiers within ten years. ”

Liu Yu suddenly brightened, nodded in admiration, and said: "What Feng Xiao said is very true, I am in danger of doing something stupid." ”

With Guo Jia's analysis, Liu Yu immediately made a decision in his heart to assist Cao Cao in defeating Yuan Shao.

In fact, Liu Yu is not afraid that after Cao Cao annexed Yuan Shao, his strength will swell, Cao Cao is indeed far more powerful and dangerous than Yuan Shao, but Cao Cao annexed Yuan Shao, can he dominate the world? Liu Yu can almost conclude that as long as Cao Cao annexes Yuan Shao, he still goes south to destroy Liu Biao, Liu Bei, and Sun Ce as he did in history, and he will definitely suffer a fiasco in Chibi.

At that time, Cao Cao's territory did not lose much, but his troops were extremely weak for more than ten years as if they had been restored to before liberation, and then it was a good opportunity for him.

Of course, the premise of Cao Cao's defeat in the Battle of Chibi is that he first holds Tongguan and does not let Cao Cao attack Guanzhong before this and destroy him.

Immediately, Liu Yu wrote back to Cao Cao, agreeing to help him resist Yuan Shao.

Then, Liu Yu summoned Guan Yu, and he said to Guan Yu: "Yun Chang, I will now send you to Guandu to help Cao Cao fight against Yuan Shao." ”

Guan Yu didn't think much about it, and only asked, "How many soldiers and horses does the big brother want me to bring?" ”

Liu Yu said with a smile: "You alone are enough, you have only one purpose for this trip, and that is to kill General Yuan Shao as much as possible." ”

Guan Yu's heart sank, and he didn't ask much, so he gave up his hand and retreated, and soon he left Chang'an City, went east out of Tongguan and went straight to Guandu.

After Guan Yu left, Guo Jia admired Liu Yu and said: "The eldest brother's move is clever, let the second brother kill General Yuan Shao as much as possible, it is not difficult to use the second brother's bravery, this is enough to help Cao Cao recover most of the decline, and Cao Cao can be consumed with Yuan Shao for a long time, even if Cao Cao defeats Yuan Shao in the end, and Yuan Shao's general has been beheaded by the second brother, Cao Cao can't receive a brave general, a thousand troops are easy to find, and Cao Cao's power will not expand too much at once." ”

Liu Yu smiled, that's exactly what he meant, and he was very confident that after Guan Yu helped, Cao Cao would definitely be able to defeat Yuan Shao in the end.

……

Guandu.

After receiving a reply from Liu Yu, agreeing to help him defeat Yuan Shao, Cao Cao was overjoyed.

However, when Cao Cao saw Guan Yu, who was wearing fish scale armor and holding a nine-foot large Mo knife, with only one person and one horse, the expression on his face was quite exciting.

Cao Cao couldn't help asking, "Why did you only see Yun Chang coming alone?" ”

In fact, Cao Cao wanted to ask if the reinforcements were still in the rear.

Guan Yu saw what Cao Cao thought, he snorted coldly and said proudly: "The reinforcement is Guan someone, and I alone is enough to kill General Yuan Shao!" If Cao Gong is dissatisfied, he can expel Guan Mou. ”

Can Cao Cao drive Guan Yu away, he did that because he had a hole in his brain.

At the same time, Cao Cao also secretly scolded in his heart, Liu Shimin was really treacherous, and verbally said that he would help him defeat Yuan Shao, but he was unwilling to waste a single soldier, so he only sent Guan Yu to behead General Yuan Shao.

This is also good, it can allow Guan Yu to fight against Yan Liang, Wen Chou and other Hebei Four Court Pillars.

In the past, Guan Yu and Zhao Yun accompanied Liu Yu to seize the city, Zhao Yunhu locked down the battle against Lu Bu for 500 rounds without winning or losing, although Guan Yu only showed some strength by cutting Huaxiong, but since he was Zhao Yun's second brother, this time Liu Yu only sent Guan Yu instead of Zhao Yun, which shows that Guan Yu's courage is also extremely amazing, if Guan Yu can really kill Yuan Shao's Yan Liang, Wen Chou and other four court pillars, he is no longer afraid of Yuan Shao's soldiers.

After thinking about it, Cao Cao said: "Yun Chang misunderstood, although Yun Chang is only one person, it is worth thousands of troops and horses, how can he be dissatisfied." ”

After a pause, Cao Cao said again: "Yun Chang wants to behead Yuan Shao's general, and there is a general named Yan Liang, who is one of the four court pillars of Yuan Shao's Hebei, he has beheaded my four generals, and he is brave, I don't know if Yun Chang has the confidence to win?" ”

Guan Yu smoothed the long hair under his red face, and said indifferently: "Can you allow someone to look at it?" ”

Near the front, Xu Chu almost didn't sneer, only when Guan Yutu said big things, and said everything to kill General Yuan Shao, why didn't he fight immediately.

Cao Cao was much calmer than Xu Chu, he smiled and prepared fine wine, sat opposite Guan Yu, and after drinking, he could witness Yan Liang who came to block the camp gate and scolded and challenged outside the camp gate.

Between the glasses of wine, Cao Cao pointed behind Yan Liang, 100,000 Yuan Shao Hebei elites, with a clear banner, guns and knives, strict and powerful, and smiled at Guan Yu: "Yuan Shao Hebei elite soldiers, very majestic!" ”

Guan Yu raised his glass, drank it all, and after taking a look, he said disdainfully: "Native chicken tile dog!" ”

As Liu Yu's second brother in Yui, Liu Yu once handed over the three thousand Mo knife elites to Guan Yu to practice single-handedly, with three thousand Mo knife elites in front, aren't these ordinary soldiers of Yuan Shao just like local chickens and dogs.

With Cao Cao's intelligence, he knew that Liu Yu had two elites, the Mo Dao Army and the Flying Dragon Cavalry, and he had personally experienced the fierceness of the Flying Dragon Cavalry, since the Mo Dao Army was tied with the Flying Dragon Cavalry, it was naturally equally strong, and Guan Yu was the nominal Modao General, commanding the three thousand Mo Dao elites, Cao Cao did not laugh at Guan Yu's words.

Cao Cao pointed to Yan Liang, who was scolding and challenging, and said, "The one who is challenging the embroidered robe and golden armor is Yan Liang." ”

After Guan Yu glanced at it again, he said disdainfully: "It's a bid to sell Seoul, and it can be easily cut!" ”

When Cao Cao heard this, he laughed: "Yun Chang, you can't underestimate the enemy!" ”

Guan Yu drank all the wine, got up and said: "When I go to kill him, I will know if he is the person who sold the head!" ”

Don't mention Xu Chu and others, Xiahou Yuan can't listen to it anymore, you must know that he lost to Yan Liang in more than 60 rounds, if Yan Liang is just a person who sells his head by inserting a bid, then he Xiahou Yuan is not even as good as a person who sells his head by inserting a bid.

Xiahou Yuan then snorted coldly: "Anyone can say big things, you need to know that there is no joke in the army, don't wait for someone to be beheaded!" ”

Guan Yu didn't answer, and with a nine-foot Damo knife, he got on the horse and went out of the camp. His phoenix eyes were round, his silkworm eyebrows were straight, and he was angry, and he took Yan Liang directly.

Yan Liang was slightly shocked, looking at the momentum of the people, he knew whether he was brave or not, he asked Guan Yu and said: "Who are you, I Yan Liang will not kill the unknown people under the knife!" ”

Guan Yu didn't bother to answer, the war horse had reached Yan Liang's ten meters in an instant, it was close to noon, the sun was dazzling, Guan Yu's Liangtang Mo knife forged from steel was slightly bright, like a mirror, Yan Liang was dazzled by the refracted sunlight, and when he reacted, Guan Yu had already killed in front of him.

Yan Liang was shocked, but he was caught off guard, and was stabbed by Guan Yu's hand, and a knife fell from his left shoulder to his right waist, splitting it in half and falling from the horse!
