Reborn in the Three Kingdoms, I stole Liu Bei's uncle

Guan Yu's words made it difficult for Xu Shu to refute for a while.

Yes, everyone in the world knew that only when the emperor was in Luoyang City would Yuan Shao gather his troops and attack Luoyang.

Xu Shu forced himself to accept this answer, but he found that he couldn't do it at all.

Perhaps it was because the real emperor was in Chang'an that he could never let go of his worries.

In his heart, there is always a belief, what if...

"Yun Chang, the whereabouts of the emperor are top secret, but if someone leaks it, how should we deal with it?"

"How can there be so many what-ifs?" Guan Yu seemed a little casual. "The emperor has been in the palace, studying peacefully. Who can know his whereabouts? Yuan Zhi's words are obviously over-concerned."

Xu Shu wanted to persuade him again, but Guan Yu said calmly: "Yuan Zhi, there is no need to say more. This matter is settled. If there is any mistake, Guan will take full responsibility."

Seeing Guan Yu's firm attitude, Xu Shu felt helpless. Although Liu Yu had earnestly instructed him to supervise Guan Yu before leaving Luoyang, Guan Yu was, after all, the military chief and the first person in charge of the army. In military operations, he had absolute power and status.

Faced with Guan Yu's stubbornness, even though Xu Shu was deeply trusted by Liu Yu, he was helpless.

Xu Shu understood Liu Yu's intention very well. He let Guan Yu occupy Shangjun and then wait for the enemy to attack, in order to attract troops while taking the safety of Chang'an into consideration.

Once the army leaves Shangjun, it will be too late to return to Chang'an to provide assistance when Chang'an is in trouble.

"Yunchang, rashly attacking Taiyuan is contrary to the master's plan. If Yunchang insists on doing it, I will definitely write to the master."

Guan Yu glanced at Xu Shu indifferently and said nothing more. He slowly walked out of the tent.

A majestic voice sounded outside the tent.

"Order the three armies to follow me and capture Taiyuan."

Xu Shu sighed helplessly, picked up the brush and began to write on the wooden board.

After a while, densely packed words appeared on the wooden board. He checked it again to make sure there was nothing missing, then he picked up two wooden boards of similar size from the table and placed them on both sides.

There were already slots on the two wooden boards outside. Xu Shu picked up the rope and moved it along the slots according to specific rules. After a while, he tied the three wooden boards tightly together.

Xu Shu picked up the mud again and slowly and carefully sealed all the gaps before stopping.

He took out the seal from his bosom, stamped it in several places, and then called the servants.

"Send this wooden seal to the lord as quickly as possible."

The servant bowed and saw that Xu Shu looked solemn, so he dared not be negligent. He hurriedly took the wooden seal from Xu Shu's hand, saluted, and quickly left.

Watching the servant leave, Xu Shu slowly let go of his nervous mood.

"I hope I'm just overthinking this."

……

……

The news that Guan Yu had captured Shangjun soon spread to Jizhou.

Yuan Shao had an indifferent look on his face. Currently, he focused his main energy on Luoyang and chose to strategically ignore Chang'an.

In Yuan Shao's eyes, the few defenders in Chang'an City could not cause much trouble, so there was no need for him to pay too much attention to them.

Guan Yu's performance in Chang'an was beyond Yuan Shao's expectations, but he was not worried.

Now we only need to send a group of elite soldiers to Bingzhou to stop Guan Yu, and maybe we can take the opportunity to capture Chang'an.

Yuan Shao repeated the battle report of Bingzhou and then began to ask questions.

"Everyone, who is willing to lead the troops to resist Guan Yu?"

The hall was silent for a while, and no one responded.

Everyone knows that Guan Yu killed Hua Xiong with warm wine and challenged Lu Bu in a one-on-one duel. This man was extremely brave and was not someone who was easy to mess with.

Yuan Shao was about to get angry when he saw no one responded, but he heard a voice saying, "Mr. Yuan, I am willing to lead my troops to Bingzhou to stop Guan Yu."

Yuan Shao looked closely and saw that the man was short and plain-looking, with an inexplicable aura about him. It was none other than Cao Cao, Cao Mengde.

"Meng De, you just came all the way from Yanzhou to join the troops. The journey must be hard. Rest for a few days. I will send others to fight against Guan Yu."

Cao Cao bowed and said, "Mr. Yuan, Guan Yu is a brave general of the world. We have all witnessed his martial arts in front of Hulao Pass. If the generals sent by Mr. Yuan cannot match him, it will be very difficult for them to win."

Yuan Shao pondered for a moment and felt that what Cao Cao said made sense. Now under Yuan Shao's command, the most powerful generals were Yan Liang and Wen Chou. Yan Liang had been sent to Liyang, and Wen Chou was still in the army, but Yuan Shao did not want to send Wen Chou to fight.

Yan Liang and Wen Chou have the strongest spears under their command, so they should be allowed to pierce the enemy's hardest shield.

Seeing Cao Cao coming to take the order, he was about to accept it, but he heard Ju Shou said: "My lord, although Guan Yu is brave, he is not invincible. I recommend a man. As long as this man goes out, he will definitely be able to defeat Guan Yu."

"Please speak, Gonglu."

"Zhang He, Zhang Junyi."

After hearing this, Yuan Shao nodded repeatedly. Zhang He was indeed the best candidate in his mind to lead the troops. He was an extraordinary martial artist, had unparalleled ability in using troops, and understood tactical changes. He was best at setting up camps and arranging strategies and tactics according to the terrain.

As long as Zhang He took action, even if he could not defeat Guan Yu by force, he could stop him from continuing to attack.

Yuan Shao smiled slightly, looked at Zhang He and asked: "Junyi, if I give you 50,000 elite soldiers, are you confident that you can defeat Guan Yu?"

Zhang He stepped forward, bowed slowly, and said, "In my eyes, Guan Yu is just an ordinary man. My lord, rest assured. Within a month, I will present Guan Yu's head to you."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Shao burst into laughter.

"Well, with Junyi's presence, Bingzhou will have nothing to worry about."

Cao Cao was a little confused. What was going on? From what he had seen just now, Yuan Shao had clearly asked him to go to Bingzhou to snipe Guan Yu. How could he change his mind in an instant just because of Ju Shou's words?

He wanted to ask for permission to go to Bingzhou again, but Xi Zhicai shook his head slightly, obviously telling him that the matter was no longer possible.

Cao Cao was also a smart and decisive person, so he kept silent.

The tiny movements of the two at this moment happened to be seen by Ju Shou. He frowned slightly, and the doubts in his heart grew more and more.

Ever since Guo Tu persuaded Cao Cao to surrender, Ju Su had been full of doubts.

Ever since Cao Cao assassinated Dong Zhuo alone and became famous, Ju Su has been paying close attention to Cao Cao's actions.

Later, a series of actions such as attacking Dong Zhuo, taking control of Yanzhou, and attacking Xuzhou made Ju Su clearly feel that this man had great ambitions and was definitely not someone who would yield to others.

The lord is powerful, while Uncle Liu is weak.

According to normal logic, Cao Cao should not have surrendered to this side. He should have surrendered to Uncle Liu and used his own power to balance the power of Jizhou. Only in this way could he survive in the cracks.

Now that he gave up the best choice and came to Jizhou for refuge, Ju Su concluded that this man was definitely not trying to divide Xuzhou, but had other intentions.
