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

Guan Yu was standing not far away, and when he heard the two men's praise for Cai Mao, his desire to fight was instantly aroused.

He was seen tightly gripping the shining Green Dragon Crescent Blade in his hand, his rough but powerful fingers seemed to be integrated with the blade.

He raised his chin slightly, the pride on his face became more obvious, and his pair of almond-shaped eyes flashed with determination and confidence.

"Uncle," Guan Yu's voice was deep and powerful, with a hint of unquestionable meaning, "I am not bragging here, but in my eyes, Cai Mao is not worth mentioning at all.

If the emperor's uncle had allowed me to lead the troops, we would have already broken through his central camp by now!"

Liu Yu chuckled softly, his eyes full of admiration, "How could I not know Yun Chang's bravery?

When it comes to archery, horse riding and shooting, who in this vast world dares to claim to be the enemy of Yunchang?

But this naval battle is different from a land battle after all. There are many variables involved, so we need to be extra cautious."

Hearing Liu Yu's praise, the proud look on Guan Yu's originally tense face slowly eased a little.

"Uncle," Guan Yu spoke again, his tone more earnest, "You have already sent Yide and Zilong to lead the troops to capture Changsha and Guiyang, but now I can only sit here idle, which is really boring.

"As long as my uncle gives me five thousand elite soldiers, I can lead them to attack Xiangyang directly, capture Liu Biao alive, and present him to my uncle!"

After saying this, he clasped his hands together, lowered his head slightly, and waited for Liu Yu's reply.

Liu Yu knew very well how Guan Yu felt, but this proposal was too risky and Liu Yu would definitely not agree to it.

He just smiled faintly and said, "Now there is Jiangxia between us and Xiangyang. It is impossible for Yunchang to pass through Jiangxia and head directly to Xiangyang."

The soldiers of this era were not the special forces of later generations who could sneak behind enemy lines and carry out decapitation operations.

They need to keep breaking into cities and advancing forward before they can reach Xiangyang City.

Without backup, the soldiers were alone in deep territory. There were too many variables to face, and once they were blocked by a solid city, they might be killed.

Guan Yu looked at the battle on the river, his eyes full of unwillingness and anxiety.

"How can a mere Jiangxia stop me like this? Don't worry, uncle. As long as you allow me to lead the troops, I will definitely be able to capture Liu Biao and make another contribution to the Han Dynasty!"

Liu Yu turned around, patted Yun Chang's shoulder gently, and said soothingly: "Yun Chang, don't be so anxious. The reason why I have not asked you to lead the troops to attack the city is not intentional negligence, but there is another more important thing that needs to be entrusted to you to complete."

When Guan Yu heard this, his originally depressed mood suddenly became like a spring of fresh air, and he instantly regained his former spirit. He asked anxiously, "What is the important matter? I hope the emperor's uncle can tell me clearly."

Liu Yu glanced at Guan Yu slowly, a hint of deep meaning flashed in his eyes, and then he continued slowly: "Although Liu Biao is currently unwilling to submit to the Han royal family, I am not worried about this.

The reason is actually very simple. He himself has no ambition. He has neither outstanding generals to assist him nor far-sighted counselors to offer advice. In this way, it will not be long before the land of Jingzhou will return to the embrace of the Han Dynasty.

However, what I am really worried about is Cao Cao in Yizhou. This man has great ambitions, and he has everything under his command, including brave and skilled generals and resourceful and wise ministers.

This man is a major threat to the unification of the Han Dynasty. If we cannot get rid of him first, even if we take Jingzhou, it will be difficult to achieve the true revival of the Han Dynasty..."

Before Liu Yu had finished speaking, Guan Yu's face suddenly turned red, his eyes flashing with excitement. He threw his head back and laughed out loud. His laughter was like a loud bell and was full of exhilaration.

The Emperor's uncle thinks so highly of me that he actually entrusted the arduous task of attacking Cao Cao to me!

The land of Yizhou has thousands of miles of fertile fields and abundant resources. Such a precious land is thousands of times more important than Changsha, Guiyang and other places.

"Although Cao Cao has many famous generals under his command, none of them can be a match for Guan. Although the emperor's uncle has entrusted me with the important task of attacking Yizhou, I will definitely not let him down and will capture Cao Cao and bring him back here to repay the emperor's uncle for his kindness!"

Liu Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, still with a faint smile on his face, and slowly said: "Yizhou's terrain is extremely dangerous, easy to defend but difficult to attack. If we lead troops to forcibly capture it, it will be as difficult as ascending to heaven. So I have been thinking in my heart that I want Yunchang to surrender to Cao Cao."

After hearing these words, Guan Yu was stunned for a moment.

What was going on? It turned out that he was not asking me to lead the troops to attack Yizhou, but to surrender to Cao Cao.

Who is Cao Cao? In Guan Yu's eyes, he is a treacherous hero in troubled times.

When the Han Dynasty was in decline and the people were in chaos, he did not want to serve the Han Dynasty, but actually sought to seize Yizhou and wanted to compete with the Han Dynasty. How could Guan Yu not resent him for his intentions?

“Although I am not as knowledgeable as my uncle, I have studied the Spring and Autumn Annals and know that loyalty and righteousness are the most important things in life.

Since ancient times, loyal ministers have never served two masters.

I am willing to die, but my resolve will not change. If you want me to surrender to Cao Cao, you might as well just cut off my head."

After hearing this, Liu Yu was deeply moved.

Guan Yu is the only loyal and righteous person in history!

"Yun Chang! It was indeed my fault for not explaining myself clearly. I don't want you to surrender to Cao Mengde sincerely. I just want you to pretend to surrender to him and gain his trust. Then we can join forces and take Yizhou."

Guan Yu was silent when he heard this. It was obvious that Liu Yu's counter-espionage plan was somewhat inconsistent with Guan Yu's ideas.

A real man should act with integrity and be as bright as the sun and the moon. How can he serve a thief and do such sinister things?

Liu Yu observed Guan Yu's words and expressions and understood his difficulties.

Frankly speaking, it is indeed somewhat difficult for Guan Yu, who is known for his loyalty and righteousness throughout history, to carry out a counter-espionage plan.

"Yun Chang, this is just an idea of ​​mine, it's not confirmed yet. It's still too early for Yizhou, we still have time to plan slowly."

Guan Yu bowed slowly and said nothing, but the expression on his face was very obvious.

He felt a little grateful in his heart, grateful for Liu Yu's understanding.

At this moment, Guo Jia's voice rang out.

"My lord, look! Gan Ning and the others have retreated."

Liu Yu turned his head and looked at the river from afar, only to see that the three armies sent by Zhou Yu were all retreating together.

Behind the army, Cai Mao waved the command flag, and the army quickly turned around and chased Gan Ning and others.

Looking at the two armies chasing each other one after the other on the wide river, a smile appeared on Liu Yu's face.
