Three Kingdoms: The rebellious son of the Cao family married the queen at the beginning

Cao Cao of Dingtao, who was attacking, woke up and found that Dingtao's defenders had disappeared.

He thought that with Guan Yu around, it would be a tough battle. After all, none of his subordinates could stand up to Guan Yu.

So Cao Cao just ordered his soldiers to attack Chengci directly, instead of letting them fight Guan Yu single-handedly.

"Feng Xiao, what's going on?"

Cao Cao stood outside the empty city of Dingtao, looking at Guo Jia in bewilderment.

Guo Jia shook his head. He didn't know why the defenders retreated suddenly, and they withdrew so eagerly and without delay.

Overnight, the army secretly withdrew from Yingchuan, and Yan County didn't defend, and disappeared directly into Yingchuan.

Cao Cao summoned Cao Hong and asked, "Did you see Guan Yu on the city wall yesterday?"

Cao Hong said dejectedly, "My lord, have you forgotten? Yesterday Guan Yu went out of the city to sneak attack on our army's siege team, and was shot back by our army's volley of arrows."

Guo Jia had an ominous premonition that Liu Beijun's sudden retreat might be carrying out some conspiracy.

"My lord, we want to find out where Dingtao's defenders have gone."

Cao Cao said: "The people in Yan County have been transferred by them. It seems that the opponent has planned for a long time. Cao Hong, you lead [-] cavalry and advance forward. Be careful not to be ambushed by the opponent."

"promise!"

Cao Cao left [-] defenders in Dingtao and Yan County each, and then led the army, followed Cao Hong, and marched all the way towards Runan.

After crossing Yan County and entering Runan, Cao Cao found that there were no defenders in Zhaoling, Zhengqiang, and the people in the city were all gone.

Cao Cao didn't dare to let the army go deeper. The other five armies were still in a stalemate. He had to wait a while to avoid being encircled by Liu Bei.

Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia and asked, "Feng Xiao, did you see Liu Bei's scheme?"

Guo Jia explained uncertainly: "Master, the other party's whereabouts are too weird. According to my guess, Liu Bei should have hidden the people somewhere, and then fought to the death with our army."

Their plan to divide Liu Bei has been successful. It stands to reason that Liu Bei should stick to Dingtao, guarding this only way of retreat. After all, Guan Yu of the garrison Changsha was directly transferred to Dingtao.

But Guan Yu seemed to have gone through a cutscene in Dingtao, where he was majestic for three days, and then suddenly disappeared.

"Report, my lord, our scouts found Liu Bei's defenders in Dingying. The defenders are Liu Bei's military advisor Zhao Yan, and young general Liao Hua."

"Ok?"

Cao Cao frowned, Zhao Yan went to Dingying, where did Guan Yu go?
Cao Cao hurriedly asked, "Can you see Guan Yu in Dingying City?"

"no!"

"This……"

Cao Cao couldn't understand Liu Bei's deployment more and more. Could it be that there are capable people around Liu Bei again?

Or is it that the traitor used this to sell his equipment and then give advice to Liu Bei?
Guo Jia said in horror: "My lord, we need to send a large number of scouts to detect Guan Yu's movements. Guan Yu is a fierce tiger. If our army goes deep into Runan and Guan Yu suddenly detours behind him, wouldn't Chen Liu be in danger?"

Guo Jia's worries were not unreasonable. Chen Liu's defenders were [-] behind, let alone the defenders. They were not the enemy of Guan Yu at all. Once Guan Yu went to the rear to make trouble, they would have to retreat.

"not good!"

Cao Cao also realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly said: "Let the entire scout battalion be dispatched, and we must find out Guan Yu's movements."

"promise!"

Just in case, Cao Cao withdrew from Runan, let Xia Houyuan lead an army of [-] troops to garrison Yan County, and stationed himself in Dingtao.

Two hours later, Cao Cao's scouts finally discovered an anomaly in the direction of Wuyang.

"My lord, I found a large number of soldiers and horses passing by in the direction of Wuyang, and the leader of them has a red face and long beard, and a big knife in his hand!"

"Guan Yu?" Cao Cao wiped off his cold sweat.

Wuyang, that's on the west side of Dingtao, the only way Liu Bei must pass, he even forgot to send someone to check.

He thought Guan Yu had retreated to Runan, but he did not expect to occupy Wuyang in advance.

"How many troops does Guan Yu have?" Guo Jia asked hastily.

"I don't know, but according to the hunters in the mountains, they are all cavalry!"

"My grass..."

Cao Cao was so shocked that his hands and feet were cold. Are they all cavalry?This is obviously going to sneak attack.

Guo Jia thought for a while and said, "My lord, Guan Yu's army either went to Jingzhou to rescue troops, or retreated for Liu Bei, led the cavalry to attack the rear of our army, and then forced our army to retreat to make way for Liu Bei!"

Cao Cao was surprised and said, "Zhao Yan and Du Xi will never come up with such a plan. Could it be that Liu Bei's subordinates are capable again?"

Guo Jia agreed: "Very likely!"

"Report!"

Seeing that Tan Ma had come back from the west, Cao Cao hurriedly asked, "Is there any news about Guan Yu?"

"My lord, Guan Yu passed by Wuyang and made some supplements in the city, then left Wuyang and headed west!"

"This……"

Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia suspiciously, what kind of game was this?Isn't stationing in Wuyang better than stationing in Ye County?

Such a good location, he actually gave up directly.

Guo Jia analyzed: "My lord, it is very likely that Guan Yu went to Jingzhou to ask for help. Maybe Liu Bei and Liu Biao have formed an alliance."

Cheng Yu said: "Is it possible for Guan Yu to go to Luyang, then enter Yingchuan from his father's city, and harass our army's rear?"

Cao Cao wiped off his cold sweat again. If Guan Yu attacked Fucheng, he could directly attack Yangdi.

"Come on, hurry up and inform the defenders of the father's city, telling them to take strict precautions, and never let Guan Yu enter Yingchuan from here."

"promise!"

When Cao Cao, Guo Jia, and Cheng Yu were guessing Guan Yu's next move, Guan Yu's five thousand army was resting in Ye County.

Although Guan Yu didn't understand Liu Bei's arrangement, it was a joint decision between Zhao Yan and Du Xi. He felt that the elder brother should have his reasons.

Asking him to escort a group of Cao Shuo's people to Jing County in exchange for the eldest brother's life, this is a completely reciprocal transaction.

Guan Yu, standing on the city wall, saw a group of people and horses coming from outside the city. There were about [-] soldiers, among whom were escorting dozens of carriages and five or six hundred entourages.

The leader is over 40 years old, nine feet tall, muscular, with broad shoulders and round waist, with a bow and arrow on his back, and a big knife in his hand.

Guan Yudan's phoenix eyes narrowed, and the aura revealed by this person was like a mountain, which made people breathless.

This person is strong and tyrannical, not weaker than him in the slightest!
This was Guan Yu's first evaluation. He never expected to meet a general who could match him here.

The convoy stopped at the foot of the city, and the leading general glanced at Guan Yu on the city wall, and said in a deep voice, "Huang Zhong, who is in Xiananyang, passed by here, and wants to borrow money to go to Jizhou, please be accommodating."

"Huang Zhong?" Guan Yu looked confused, he didn't know him!
