A day later, Mo Shuyan had already arrived at the valley only more than ten miles away from Youzhou with lightly armed soldiers and horses to camp and rest.

According to the report of the spies sent, Youzhou has discovered their existence, the city gate has been closed, and the number of guards has increased several times, but they know nothing about the situation in the city.

Knowing these circumstances, Mo Shuyan became more determined to establish an intelligence network, in this era, intelligence is not developed at all, and the information obtained is too lagging behind, and it is easy to miss the fighter, but the intelligence network cannot be established overnight, and it is necessary to deal with the matter in front of you first.

Thinking of this, Mo Shuyan stopped his pen, picked up the paper in front of him, and blew lightly, so as not to cover up the content with residual ink, and then folded the paper and stuffed it into the envelope, Mo Shuyan called Zhang Lie and asked him to send someone to immediately entrust the letter to Liu Bei.

After Zhang Lie turned around and left, Mo Shuyan called Li Dian again, ordered him to gather soldiers and horses, and continued to hurry.

Half an hour later, the letter written by Mo Shuyan was already lying flat on Liu Bei's bookcase, Liu Bei's eyes wandered, looking at the sky that had darkened, as if he was pondering something, obviously having read the contents of the letter.

In the letter, Mo Shuyan had fully informed the purpose and motive of Cao Jun's coming, and repeatedly emphasized that he would never move Youzhou in the slightest.

But this is always a troubled time, and promises and guarantees are just passing rain and smoke, and have no effect.

For this reason, Liu Bei is also quite a headache, after all, this is related to the survival of Youzhou, if you make a decision easily, resulting in an incident, I am afraid that the already turbulent military spirit will completely collapse.

Seeing that Liu Bei and Guan Yu didn't speak, in the end, it was Zhang Fei, who was anxious, took the lead in breaking the silence and said coldly to Liu Bei: "Could this be Cao Cao's conspiracy, borrowing the name of Mr. Yunyi, to open the city gate widely, so as to attack on a large scale?" ”

"It's not going to be, the spies reported, it has been proved that it was Mr. Yunyi who took the lead, but Cao Cao disappeared, it should be Mr. Yunyi's meaning." Liu Bei denied.

"In that case, what is the eldest brother going to do?" Guan Yu frowned and said, obviously Guan Yu was also difficult to make a decision for Liu Bei.

Hearing this, Liu Bei did not answer, and the atmosphere returned to silence, and it seemed that everything had returned to the starting point, whether to follow Mo Shuyan's words.

At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside, and then another herald hurriedly came, and as soon as he entered the door, he eagerly reported: "The vanguard of Cao's army has arrived outside the city and is slowly heading towards the gate of Youzhou." ”

"Big brother." Guan Yu and Zhang Fei looked at Liu Bei in unison, waiting for Liu Bei to give an answer.

With a fixed gaze, Liu Bei no longer hesitated, got up and said: "Pass my military order, open the city gate, lift the guard, and welcome Cao Jun." ”

"No." The herald hurriedly turned and left with the order, for fear of delaying the important business, but his face was filled with joy, as if he was very happy that he did not have to fight.

After the herald left, Liu Bei also began to walk out, and said as he walked: "Second brother and third brother, go out with me to pick up Mr. Yunyi." ”

"No."

Liu Bei took the lead and left, followed by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, without even bringing weapons.

When night fell, the archers who were on guard in Youzhou City suddenly put away their bows and arrows, and the city gate was slowly opening.
