After being abandoned by Liu Bei, Cao Cao begged me to be a military adviser

For nothing else, Cao Cao just felt that this matter was particularly exciting.

Liu Bei's subordinates took Liu Bei's wife away.

And it was Cao Cao who did it.

This is an indescribable relief.

As for Liu Bei's brother Guan Yu, it is reasonable for Cao Cao to accept him!

There is no nonsense, Cao Cao directly asked his good brother Xiahou Dun to fight Guan Yu.

Xiahou Dun still showed no aggrieved face.

Feign defeat?

Will I, Xiahou Dun, lose to Guan Yu?

If it weren't for the prime minister's appointment, I would never let Guan Yu go.

Cao Cao made a deployment and divided his troops into two groups.

Along the way, the [-] troops led by Cao Ren immediately returned to Guandu to defend Yuan Shao.

Xuzhou has basically no tough battles to fight.

Cao Cao personally led [-] troops to Xiapi City to attack Guan Yu.

It was many days before Guan Yu learned of the defeat.

From the mouth of the deserter, I learned that the eldest brother is missing, and the third brother is also missing.

Mi Fang, Mi Zhu and Sun Qian all ran away.

Guan Yu was in a state of confusion for a moment.

At this time, Xiahou Dun led his troops to call for battle.

"Where is Guan Yu's son?"

"Your elder brother Liu Bei has been beheaded by me!"

"Hand over Liu Bei's family, and spare your life!"

Guan Yu has always had a violent temper, and when he heard Xiahou Dun's words, he immediately flew into a rage.

Immediately picked up the big knife and rushed out of the city with his subordinates.

Seeing Guan Yu coming, Xiahou Dun was overjoyed.

Where is the need to ambush Guan Yu?

If he cut him directly under the horse, he would win in one battle.

In an instant, the two clashed.

A big sword is against a spear, and the two have their own strengths.

There are more than ten rounds of consecutive battles, regardless of superiority.

Thirty rounds later, Xiahou Dun discovered that Guan Yu's saber technique became sharper, and he was invincible for a while.

A hero does not suffer from immediate losses, Xiahoudun gave up his fantasy and chose to escape.

"Where to go?"

How could the furious Guan Yu let Xiahou Dun go easily, and led his troops to chase after him.

Xiahou Dun escaped for more than twenty miles in a row.

Angry Guan Yu had long forgotten to retreat.

When he found out, he found that Xiahou Dun had reinforcements.

When he wanted to retreat to Xiapi, more Cao soldiers rushed in.

Guan Yu knew that he had been tricked, and led his troops to rush left and right.

But he was intercepted and killed by Xu Huang, Xu Chu, Cao Hong, Xiahou Dun and other generals.

Guan Yu fought and retreated, fighting from dawn to sunset.

Finally retreated to a dirt hill.

But soon, the whole mountain was surrounded.

Civil servants and military generals are all listed in front of Cao Cao.

Cao Cao said, "Who is willing to persuade Guan Yu to surrender?"

Ma Zhong stood up immediately: "Prime Minister, I am willing to go!"

"Oh?" Cao Cao looked at Ma Zhong suspiciously.

In the past, it was he Ma Zhong and Liu Dai who attacked Xuzhou and lost to Liu Bei.

Ma Zhong clasped his fists heavily and signaled: "I was explained by Zhang Feiyi earlier, and I was grateful to the Prime Minister for not killing him. If I go to persuade you to surrender, he will return to you, Prime Minister!"

When Cao Cao learned of the defeat, he had long wanted to kill Ma Zhong.

Later, because he knew about Liu Xian, he handed over the matter to Xun Yu.

Only then did Ma Zhong survive.

"Go! Be careful!" Cao Cao beckoned.

"Thank you, Prime Minister!" Ma Zhong cupped his fists and immediately led his soldiers up the hill.

Soon, Ma Zhong met Guan Yu on the top of the mountain.

"Yun Chang, come here and be safe!" Ma Zhong said.

Guan Yu stabbed the ground with a big sword, and Danfeng's eyes were as sharp as a knife.

"The defeated general, what are you doing here?"

Ma Zhong smiled: "Yun Chang, I'm here to save you. Only by surrendering to Prime Minister Cao can you be saved from death, otherwise your end will be worse than that of Liu Bei and Zhang Fei!"

It didn't matter as soon as these words came out, Guan Yu's anger was instantly ignited.

"Shua!" Guan Yu swiped the sword in his hand, beheading Ma Zhong on the spot.

The soldiers around Ma Zhong were all scared and retreated.

Guan Yu poked the sword on the ground again: "Go back and tell Cao Cao that Guan would rather die than surrender to him!"

Chapter 12 Guan Yu: Don't mention Liu Quide, otherwise I will turn my back

Ma Zhong's head was taken away by his subordinates and returned to Cao Cao.

"Guan Yu killed Ma Zhong, and said he would rather die than surrender to me?" Cao Cao's face showed a bit of anger.

This feeling is like teasing a widow who is widowed.

She thought it would be easy to catch, but she swore to die.

"Is Cao Cao so unbearable?" Cao Cao suddenly felt an evil fire in his heart.

"Sure enough, Guan Yu and Guo Jijiu said the same thing!" Liu Ye, standing behind Cao Cao, sighed for no reason.

Cao Cao turned his head and asked Liu Ye, "What did Feng Xiao say?"

Liu Ye hurriedly cupped his hands: "Back to the Prime Minister, I visited Guo Jijiu in Xudu, and when he mentioned Guan Yu, he said that he would never surrender to the Prime Minister!"

Cao Cao became even more angry, and when he mentioned Guo Jia, he suddenly thought of Liu Xian again.

Yup!

Before dispatching troops, Liu Xian also had the same conclusion.

Liu Xian also said a word, urging Guan Yu to return to the court, don't mention the prime minister's house, let alone Cao Cao.

In Cao Cao's view, surrendering to the court means surrendering to the prime minister's mansion, which means surrendering to Cao Cao.

Therefore, there is no entanglement in surrendering to the court or surrendering to Cao Cao.

Could it be that if Guan Yu surrendered to the court, would there be a discussion?

Cao Cao wanted to try, and looked at all the civil and military people present: "Who wants to persuade Guan Yu to surrender again?"

As soon as this remark came out, all the civil and military officials took half a step back.

The scene was awkward.

Persuading Guan Yu to surrender is not a great achievement, but if he lost his life, it would not be appropriate.

Cao Cao turned his gaze to Xiahou Dun: "Yuan Rang, you fought Guan Yu before, would you like to persuade him to surrender?"

Xiahou Dun quickly waved his hand: "Prime Minister, if I go, it's not to persuade you to surrender, it's to kill a thief!"

Upon hearing this, Cao Cao instantly dismissed his thoughts, and looked at Cao Hong again: "Zi Lian..."

"Prime Minister, I am not familiar with Guan Yu!" Cao Hong shook his head repeatedly and declined.

Cao Cao smiled helplessly: "Okay! You don't want to go, right? Then I will go, and I will go by myself!"

As soon as this remark came out, civil servants and military generals stepped forward to stop Cao Cao.

"How can the prime minister go up the mountain in person?"

"If Guan Yu kills you, it will be the court's loss!"

"Prime Minister, you must never risk yourself!"

With a big wave of Cao Cao's hand, he was about to push everyone away and go up the mountain.

"The prime minister doesn't need to come in person. I have an old relationship with Guan Yu, so I am willing to go and persuade him!" A loud voice came from behind.

Cao Cao turned his head and saw Zhang Liao clasped his fists.

Zhang Liao was Lv Bu's subordinate. After Xuzhou was captured, he surrendered to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao has always made good use of surrendered generals and dared to give them a chance to try.

"How does Wen Yuan plan to persuade Guan Yu to surrender?" Cao Cao asked.

Zhang Liao said: "Tell me the truth, neither humble nor overbearing!"

"Okay, well said!" Cao Cao said: "Remember, don't mention surrendering to me, just persuade Guan Yu to surrender to the court!"

"Obey!" Zhang Liao bowed his hands and immediately rode up the mountain.

Guan Yu, who stood firm on the earth mountain, was quite surprised when he learned that Zhang Liao had arrived.

Immediately let people invite him up the mountain.

Zhang Liao came alone, carrying only a jug of good wine in his hand.

"Hahaha!" Guan Yu laughed, and gently stroked his long beard with his hand.

Zhang Liao sat on the ground and put the wine jar in front of Guan Yu: "Yun Chang, don't come here without any problems!"

Guan Yu was not polite either, he opened the wine jar and poured it vigorously.

The drink feels very refreshing when it enters the throat.

"Cool!" Guan Yu handed the wine jar to Zhang Liao.

Zhang Liao and Guan Yu drank like cattle.

"Hahaha!" Both of them laughed loudly.

Guan Yu asked, "Wen Yuan came to see me off?"

Zhang Liao said: "In front of the White Gate Tower, Yun Chang knelt down to Mr. Cao to save my life. Wen Yuan will remember this forever!"

Guan Yu shook his head: "Wen Yuan doesn't need to thank me, that kneeling is my kindness from Guan to repay you!"

"Oh?" Zhang Liao said, "When did Yun Chang owe me my kindness?"

Guan Yu laughed: "When Lu Bu attacked Xiao Pei, I was defeated and left. Wen Yuan was in charge of the ambush, but he deliberately let me go!"

"Hahaha!" Zhang Liao laughed: "So that's the matter! Speaking of which, I would like to thank your Mr. Prisoner!"

Guan Yu: "Mr. Captive?"

Zhang Liao nodded: "After he was captured, he stayed with me day and night. He once warned me not to kill you in the future, and I will definitely repay you kindly in the future!"
