Chapter 283: If you don't kill the prestige, what's the point
More than thirty rode fast horses away from the white horse.
Approaching Guandu, ten of them left the team and marched eastward, while the rest stayed on horseback to look at the Yuan army surrounding the high wall.
"Yuan Gong led a large army to besiege Guandu, but it added a lot of trouble to me and others." A night thorn whispered.
"I'm a night thorn, where else can I go?" Ma Fei said indifferently: "Bypass Guandu, leave the war horse on the way to Xudu, and we will sneak into Cao Ying." ”
The twenty night thorns left behind answered one after another, and followed the horse to the east.
The Yuan army besieged Guandu and attacked only during daylight.
At night, the hustle and bustle of the battlefield returns to silence, with only the wind blowing through the wilderness.
Cao Jun barracks.
Bonfires swayed in the wind, and the flames lit the camp red.
Guan Yu's tent was not far from the other generals of Cao's army.
There was no light in the tent, and it was dark.
Lying on the bed, his mind was churning about how to say goodbye to Cao Cao.
After coming to Guandu for some time, Cao Cao never ordered him to fight, obviously delaying time.
The last time I saw Zhang Fei, I was already suspicious, and if I delayed it for a while, I don't know what it would be like for my brothers to meet.
While he was thinking about how to leave, the curtain was lifted.
"Who!" Grabbing the long sword, Guan Yu sat up suddenly.
"General Guan has been absent for a long time." A familiar voice came from the darkness.
"General Ma!" Letting go of the long sword, Guan Yu asked, "What are you doing here?" ”
"General Guan refuses to leave Cao Ying?"
Guan Yu was speechless.
He refused to leave, but his merits were not established, and Cao Cao took care of him very closely. I can't get out if I want to.
"If the general is willing to leave, please come with him later." Ma Fei said.
"General Ma has a plan?"
"It's not a ploy. It's Childe. Ma Fei said: "What the general wants is nothing more than to escort Liu Yuanjun's family." Childe has been properly settled, and the general is relieved. ”
Guan Yu didn't ask any more.
Yuan Xu has a response, it shouldn't be bad.
Ma Fei entered the tent, but after a while, there was a chaotic shouting outside.
"It's out of the water!" The sound of chaotic footsteps ran past Guan Yu's tent.
"General Guan, please!" Ma Fei's voice came from the darkness.
Guan Yu got up and walked out of the camp with Ma Fei.
It was only at this time that he discovered that Ma Fei was actually wearing Cao Jun's armor.
"What?" Stopping a Cao Jun who was running in front of him, Guan Yu asked.
"Walk in the camp!" Cao Jun saluted and hurriedly ran in the direction of the fire.
The place where the fire started was not very close to Guan Yu's tent. glanced at Ma Fei, and the two of them also ran over there.
On the way, Guan Yu met Cao Ren, Xiahoudun and others.
Seeing him running towards the fire, the general of the Cao army was not suspicious.
The flames were not very strong, only one camp tent was ignited, and the flames gradually extinguished under the efforts of the Cao soldiers.
The further you go, the more Cao Jun there is.
People crowded with people, foot to foot, and Guan Yu soon couldn't see the other Cao army generals.
I don't know where to go. Ma Fei grabbed his arm.
With a wink, Ma Fei dragged him out of the crowd.
Squeezed out of the crowd and walked not far, Guan Yu found that there was a person waiting in front of him.
The man was leading his mount, the Red Rabbit!
Run over and turn over your horse. Guan Yu was about to ask what would happen next, when Ma Fei slapped Chitu the buttocks.
The horses were astonished and galloped.
Ma Fei shouted, "The general is good to go." Someone will answer you ahead! ”
In the camp, Cao Jun shouted chaotically.
The shouts drowned out Ma Fei's voice. Seeing Guan Yu's back disappear into the darkness, Ma Fei called out a night thorn that led the horse. Run east with him.
The fire in Cao's camp was extinguished, and Cao Cao counted the damage.
The flames did not spread, and only a few Cao soldiers were burned while fighting the fire, and there were no other losses.
Sensing the strangeness of this fire, Cao Ren entered the tent.
"Cao Gong!" With a bow, Cao Ren said, "Let's go Guan Yunchang." ”
Cao Cao stood up suddenly: "Is there a search?" ”
"I'm already searching!" Cao Ren said: "Together with the red rabbit, they are gone!" ”
"There is a fire in the camp, and the red rabbit is gone, Guan Yunchang must have taken advantage of the chaos to leave." Jia Xu said: "Cao Gong should make a decision as soon as possible!" ”
"Gong Cao treats him so kindly, but Guan Yunchang doesn't know what to do, and the last general will go and capture him!" Xiahou Yuan said angrily: "I will definitely cut off his head and pay tribute to Cao Gong!" ”
"That's it!" Everyone was indignant, but Cao Cao said indifferently: "Guan Yunchang is loyal and righteous, and he doesn't forget Liu Xuande, since it's useless to stop him, let him go!" ”
"Just let him go?" Xiahoudun said: "The last general Sizhi also felt depressed, Cao Gong let him go so easily!" ”
"Cao Gong! If this person doesn't kill, where is the prestige? The generals asked Cao Cao to kill Guan Yu.
Cao Cao said: "A certain intention has been decided, you don't have to wait anymore!" Guan Yunchang abandoned a certain and left, you must not go to provoke! ”
Guan Yu left Cao Ying, joined the night thorn who responded, waited until Ma Fei arrived, and galloped all the way in the direction of Xudu.
The ten night assassins who rushed to Xudu were the first to enter the city, and after entering the city, they visited the residence of the two Gan Mi ladies several times, and found out the rooms where they lived, as well as the hiding places inside and outside the house.
In Xudu at night, except for Cao Jun, who occasionally walked by one or two teams patrolling the market, there were no more pedestrians.
In the residence of the two ladies of Ganmi, ten black shadows hid on the wall, and they jumped down one after another when no one noticed.
Nine people crouched in the shadows, looking around vigilantly, and only one of them took advantage of the cover of night to rush to the room of the two ladies.
Dormant in the shadows, he knocked softly on the door.
Mrs. Mi's voice came from inside the house: "Who? ”
"A certain was sent by the fifth son of the Yuan family to pick up the two ladies to leave Xudu."
There was silence in the room.
After a while, someone lit an oil lamp.
"Please come in and speak." Mrs. Mi's voice came out again.
The shadow looked around to make sure no one was looking, and dodged into the room.
The two wives of Gan Mi lived in Xudu and were not unguarded.
Most of the servants who served them were Cao Cao's eyeliners.
At night, servants will patrol the house.
Not long after the dark shadow entered the house, two sword-carrying servants entered the backyard.
Walking side by side on the path, I saw the lights on in the rooms of the two ladies, and one of them whispered: "Every night, the two ladies rest early, why do they turn on the lights at this time?" ”
"Or weird!" Another said, "Let's see." ”
The two of them walked lightly and leaned towards the door.
When they reached the door, they put their ears to the door panel and listened carefully to the sounds coming from inside the house.
The night thorn who entered the room held Liu Bei's jade pendant in both hands and presented it to the two ladies.
Mrs. Gan took it, looked at it carefully, and then said to Mrs. Mi: "It is the thing that makes the king." ”
"I'll wait for me to leave, how about Yun Chang?" Lady Gan asked Nightthorn.
"General Guan should be on the way back to Xudu." Night Thorn said: "Leaving Xudu, General Guan will escort his wife to Baima. (To be continued.) )
