Chapter 598: Cao Mengde Attacks Xiapi Again
-----------------------------------------------------
Wang Zhong and Zhu Ling led their troops to Xuzhou. As a result, they were imagined, both of them were captured alive, and then killed. Liu Bei asked someone to set up their heads and sent someone to Xudu.
Cao Cao in Xudu opened it and saw that he was so angry that he was not afraid of the heads. But a few days ago, the two were still alive, but now they were in different places, so they had to make Cao Cao angry. In his opinion, Liu Bei was challenging him, and that meant to send two people over, and he was not his Liu Xuande's opponent at all. You should send someone else.
Cao Cao knew that it would be impossible not to go to the war in person at this time. If he didn't go, he would be looked down upon by the people of the world. People of the world should say that Cao Mengde was afraid of him and Liu Xuande, so he had to lead troops to Xuzhou. If it weren't for his concerns about Yuan Shao, would Cao Cao have to send Wang Zhong and Zhu Ling?
In the end, Cao Cao led his troops to attack Xuzhou again, and led Xun You, Cao Chun, Xu Huang, Guan Yu and others to Xuzhou. As for Yuan Shao's movements, Cao Cao naturally made the left-behind Xu Yu and the others have close ideas, and there were many people and people in Xudu, so Cao Cao was still relieved. At least he believed that with Xun Yu's ability, he could save Xu without losing. Moreover, in Guandu, he had already sent troops to garrison there, and had been strictly guarding against Yuan Shao's men.
-----------------------------------------------------
This time, Cao Cao personally led his troops into Xuzhou, but Liu Bei had to pay attention. As a result, Cao Cao was finally forced to fight back to Xia Pi. Taishi Ci and he had no choice but to guard Xia Pi.
Cao Cao had just led his troops to Xiapi City. After a day of rest, he asked Guan Yu to challenge the city.
The result is that it really attracted Taishi Ci. In fact, Guan Yu and Taishi Ci knew each other as early as Xu Du, but they did not have a particularly deep friendship. However, they still have some appreciation for each other's martial arts, and Taishi Ci also admitted that his martial arts was not as good as his.
But he hadn't had much discussion, and now that he had such an opportunity, Taishi Ci would naturally not let it go. As for victory or defeat, it didn't matter. Liu Bei had already seen that he could not resist his Cao Mengde's army. So he let Taishi Ci go to fight, and he could also see that Taishi Ziyi was the truth about going out of the city to fight Guan Yunchang. So, of course, he would have to become a human beauty.
For Liu Bei, victory or defeat was a habit, but it was rare for his subordinates to meet such an opponent, so of course he had to meet his lord's requirements. He used to be a dependent on others, but in Xudu and Cao Mengde's territory, so Liu Bei knew that Taishi Ci and Guan Yu were not very familiar with each other and had no exchanges. But now the two sides are fighting each other, so they happened to be fighting one-on-one outside the city to see how good their martial arts were.
-----------------------------------------------------
After opening the city gate, Taishici rushed out with his horse and guards.
When he came to Guan Yu, Taishi Ci clasped his fists and said, "Brother Yun!"
Guan Yu held a big knife in one hand and asked to stroke his beautiful beard with the other, saying, "Ziyi, how can you be fine?"
Taishi Ci smiled bitterly, "Brother Yun asked this knowingly! What is Ci now? Didn't Brother Yun see it with his own eyes?"
Guan Yu laughed twice when he heard this, "Ziyi, Guan said something directly. You followed your master Liu Xuande, so that you ended up in such a situation. Otherwise, based on your martial arts, it would definitely not be like this!"
No matter what, although the two are now in different camps and are still hostile, it does not prevent them from admiring each other's martial arts, and they both know that the other's martial arts are not bad.
When Taishi Ci heard this, he said, "Ci has always thought that Brother Yun was loyal and righteous. My lord was the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and Cao Mengde was a thief in the Han Dynasty. However, Ci didn't understand why Brother Yun wanted to do things under the Han Dynasty's thief's treason!"
Taishi Ci said this, didn’t Guan Yu know at all? Of course he knew it. But this was not a big problem for him. For Guan Yu, no matter what, Cao Cao was grateful to him. The emperor did not have much favor to him. As for Cao Cao’s actions, although Guan Yu couldn’t stand it, Cao Cao did not let Guan Yu kill the emperor or kill people. Cao Cao always asked Guan Yu to go to the battlefield, and the rest had nothing to do with him.
The most important thing is that Cao Cao has the kindness of knowing Guan Yu, and Guan Yu is still a stubborn person. In his opinion, he has not yet repayed his kindness, so why can't he leave like this? So he can only leave after he repays all the kindness Cao Cao has to him. This is Guan Yu's idea. After all, in his opinion, he and Cao Mengde are indeed different.
However, although Taishi Ci's words made some sense, it sounded to Guan Yu's ears that he certainly didn't like to listen to them. Guan Yu was indeed a little arrogant. Although he wouldn't take the world seriously, Taishi Ci would definitely not let him take it too seriously. This is nothing wrong.
So he just heard him say, "Hmph, Taishi Ziyi, Guan is not willing to agree with what you said! If there was no Cao Gong in the world, I don't know how many Yuan Gong and the like will come out. No matter what, Cao Gong has done his own part to the Han Dynasty!"
