When Liu Bei hurriedly appeared in front of Guan Yu's tent with military orders, Guan Yu was shocked.

Liu Bei was governing Luoyang and had many affairs to attend to. How could he have found the time to come here?

He hurried out of the tent to greet them.

Seeing Liu Bei from afar, Guan Yu was excited. The two were stationed in Chang'an and Luoyang respectively, and had not seen each other for many years.

The two often exchanged letters to ease their longing for each other.

But letters cannot represent a meeting. Guan Yu had dreamed of returning to Pingyuan County many times.

Although they were frustrated, they could still meet every day, eat meat and drink wine. When they were drunk, they would sleep together, which was also a great pleasure in life.

Guan Yu walked quickly forward and bowed down as soon as he walked out of the tent.

"Brother, it has been several years since we last met in Luoyang. I miss you so much."

After Guan Yu finished speaking, his tiger eyes were filled with tears.

Seeing Guan Yu like this, Liu Bei was moved and tears in his eyes flowed like beads from a broken string.

"Second brother!"

"Big brother!"

The two of them sobbed silently. Even though they had thousands of words in their hearts, they were stuck in their throats and could not be said.

After a while, Liu Bei remembered the important tasks he was responsible for, suppressed his excitement, and wiped the tears from his eyes with his clothes.

He helped Guan Yu up and said softly, "Second brother, come into the tent quickly. I have something important to tell you."

Upon hearing this, Guan Yu did not dare to delay and hurriedly welcomed Liu Bei into the tent.

As soon as he entered the commander's tent, Guan Yu issued an order.

"Without my order, no one is allowed to enter the tent. Anyone who disobeys my order will be executed immediately."

The soldiers bowed their heads and accepted the order, then left the tent.

In the blink of an eye, only Liu Bei and Guan Yu were left in the tent.

Guan Yu asked, "Brother, why did you come from Luoyang?"

Liu Bei said slowly: "Second brother, you are confused. The emperor is in Chang'an. Why don't you obey the order of your uncle and attack Taiyuan without authorization?"

Guan Yu bowed and replied, "Brother, please don't be angry. Let me tell you everything in detail."

Upon hearing this, Liu Bei said no more and waited for Guan Yu to explain.

Guan Yu said: "Bingzhou is the barrier of Jizhou. If we can break through Bingzhou and go straight to Jizhou, we can rush to Luoyang to the greatest extent possible."

"Although what you said makes sense, have you ever thought about how you would respond if Yuan Shao sent people to bypass this place and attack Chang'an?"

"Brother, Taiyuan is about to fall, and Zhang He is struggling to hold on here. How can anyone rush to attack Chang'an?"

"Zhang He is a famous general in the world. Second brother, you must not be careless. The emperor's uncle has ordered that you retreat to Shangjun immediately without delay."

"Brother, Taiyuan has been fighting hard for several days and the city is about to be captured. If we withdraw now, the blood of the soldiers will be shed in vain.

Big brother, please wait for two days. Within two days, I will be able to capture Taiyuan. Once I capture Taiyuan, I will leave a group of people to garrison here, and I will retreat to Shangjun as soon as possible. "

Before coming here, Liu Bei had already seen the battle situation in Taiyuan City. There were already many gaps in Taiyuan City. Just as Guan Yu said, it would take less than two days to capture Taiyuan.

Taiyuan is an important city in Bingzhou. Once this city is captured and people are stationed in it, it will definitely pose the greatest threat to Yuan Shao.

Although Liu Bei had the military order in hand, he was still a little hesitant. After all, the situation in Taiyuan City was too good now. It seemed that they could break through, but they had to give up in vain. No one would be willing to do that.

This is like a person who has been hungry for several days and is desperately looking for food. When he sees that the food is not far away, you ask him to give up the food and go back immediately. This will obviously be difficult for him to accept.

Liu Bei's face was solemn, and it was obvious that he was having an intense ideological struggle.

Suddenly, the anxious expression of Liu Yu when he was leaving appeared in Liu Bei's mind.

Ever since Liu Bei met Liu Yu in Pingyuan, the two hit it off and became lifelong friends.

In Liu Bei's eyes, Liu Yu has always been resourceful, calm and indifferent. How could he have ever behaved like this?

After a brief struggle, Liu Bei finally sided with Liu Yu.

Liu Yu was a man of extraordinary wisdom and had planned everything out. If his words were true and the emperor was kidnapped, even ten Taiyuan cities would not be able to redeem him.

"Second brother, the military order is here, you cannot disobey it. When Uncle Liu asked me to come here, he had already thought of your idea."

"Big brother..."

"Second brother, stop talking and retreat immediately!"

Just as Guan Yu was about to continue pleading, Liu Bei quickly interrupted him.

Because Liu Bei knew that if he let Guan Yu continue talking, he might really be convinced by him and agree to give him those precious two days.

In Taiyuan city, Zhang He was not panicked at all. Instead, he looked calm and confident.

He slowly climbed up the city wall and began to patrol carefully.

When his eyes fell on those dilapidated city walls, Zhang He looked indifferent, with a hint of sneer on his face.

Seeing this, the subordinates who came with Zhang He to inspect mistakenly thought that he was worried about the city walls that had just been damaged, so they hurried forward to report and volunteered:

"General, please rest assured! I will dispatch personnel to repair these damaged city walls tonight. We must ensure that all the damaged parts are repaired before dawn."

Facing his subordinates' eagerness, Zhang He just smiled and responded slowly: "There is no need for soldiers to rush to repair the city wall overnight. Even if the city wall is in such a dilapidated state, in my opinion, it will be extremely difficult for Guan Yu to capture this city."

Zhang He spoke with a firm face and his tone was full of confidence, but in fact, different ideas had already sprouted in his heart.

Not long after he embarked on his journey, Yuan Shao sent an envoy with an urgent military order.

This order clearly informed Zhang He that Chang'an City had now become an empty city with no defense capabilities.

Therefore, when he was facing Guan Yu head-on, what he was thinking of was sending someone to bypass this fierce general at the right time and then attack Chang'an by surprise.

Faced with such a battle plan, Zhang He was full of confidence and had it all planned out.

In his opinion, although Guan Yu possessed extraordinary bravery, he seemed to know nothing about strategy.

As long as you reveal the slightest flaw, Guan Yu will take the bait without hesitation.

This carefully designed flaw is the city walls that appear to be crumbling and dilapidated.

On the surface, these city walls may be just ruins, but they are actually extremely tempting bait in Zhang He's hands.

If you want to successfully catch the huge "fish" like Guan Yu, how can you do it without sufficient and tempting "bait"?
