Guan Ping was speechless and didn't dare to make a sound.
That was indeed the case. Putting aside Guan Yu's arrogance, just his martial strength alone was definitely one of the top people in the three countries. Even if it wasn't Cao Zhi, but the Xiahou brothers, Guan Yu wasn't afraid.
However, Guan Yu did not know that the current Cao Zhi was no longer the Cao Zhi who only knew how to write and recite poems. The current Cao Zhi was not only proficient in the history of the Three Kingdoms, but most importantly, he had also obtained a golden finger. He was invulnerable to swords and spears and had boundless strength. He was already comparable to a first-class fierce general.
When Guan Yu was sizing up Cao Zhi, Cao Zhi was also sizing up Guan Yu.
He had only seen Guan Yu in historical books or Romance of the Three Kingdoms. He had also seen many portraits of Guan Yu, but he had never seen him in person. Now that he had traveled to the Three Kingdoms, he was fortunate enough to witness his true appearance. How could Cao Zhi not feel excited?
When Cao Zhi came to save Cao Cao, the father and son met. On the battlefield, Cao Zhi dismounted his horse and bowed. Three thousand elite cavalry rushed over and set up a battle formation opposite Guan Yu's troops.
"Your son came late and frightened father! Your son is guilty!"
"My son, don't be self-deprecating!" Cao Cao hurriedly helped Cao Zhi up.
Seeing the real Cao Cao, Cao Zhi felt a lot of emotions in his heart. He had studied Cao Cao a long time ago. He did not expect that he would become his son by accident. Moreover, he was now calling him father and son in front of him. It would be a lie if Cao Zhi said that he was not excited.
Originally, Cao Zhi's best plan was to not let him meet Cao Cao at Huarong Road. This would prove that Cao Cao did not listen to his advice and still led to Red Cliff's defeat.
The result of Red Cliff's defeat was that Cao Cao would never be able to unify the world for the next twenty years! This price was something that Cao Zhi did not want to see.
However, Cao Zhi understood everything when he saw Guan Yu leading his troops to defend the city.
As expected, Cao Cao did not listen to his advice. Red Cliff was defeated! Otherwise, Guan Yu would never have appeared here.
As expected, was it difficult to change? Cao Zhi felt an indescribable bitterness in his heart, but he did not think too much about it. After all, the defeat of Red Cliff was already an irreversible situation. He was also in the rear, so it was difficult for him to do anything. It was reasonable for him to lose.
Most importantly, Cao Zhi was confident that even if Red Cliff was defeated, he could rely on his own ability and cheat to make the Cao family look down on the world in a short period of time. Of course, this was not the most important thing right now.
The battle was urgent, so Cao Zhi did not explain in detail. He helped Cao Cao onto the horse and then formed a formation, preparing to charge out. Cao Cao had just been saved from death. Seeing that his son was able to respond in advance and lead his troops to save him from the fire and water, he looked at Cao Zhi with a peaceful gaze. He was very pleased, but due to his personality, he did not show too much of it. He only said gratefully,"It's really my son!"
Cao Zhi's appearance seemed to have brought a ray of light to the Cao army in the darkness, allowing them to see hope.
However, when Cao Cao looked at Guan Yu at the entrance of Huarong Road, his expression froze.
Cao Cao had a deep understanding of Guan Yu, especially his powerful martial strength.
Cao Cao couldn't help but recall the time when Guan Yu single-handedly killed Yan Liang and Wen Chou. He was like a god that had descended to the mortal world, and his Green Dragon Saber was invincible in the chaotic army! How awe-inspiring!
Although Boss Cao was confident, he was also very perceptive. He could tell that after Lu Bu's death, Guan Yu's martial strength could basically be considered invincible. This was also why Cao Cao had deliberately tried to curry favor with Guan Yu and recruit him.
But now, when he was at the end of his rope, he was blocked by such a Divine General!
Thinking of Guan Yu's ability to directly take the head of an enemy general, Cao Cao couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine.
Even if Cao Zhi brought 3,000 elite cavalry, they might not be able to stop Guan Yu!
As if he had sensed Cao Cao's worry, Cao Zhi laughed and said to Cao Cao,""Father, you don't have to worry. With your son here, I guarantee that you won't be in trouble!”
"But Zhi 'er…" Cao Cao wanted to say something else. After all, he was very clear about Guan Yu's abilities. He was one of the most ferocious generals in the world! The impression Cao Zhi gave him was that he was a scholar who dabbled in literature and ink. At most, he could be considered a Confucian general. How could he compete with a peerless killing god like Guan Yu?
He did not want his son to die in vain.
However, Cao Zhi seemed to know the doubts in his heart. He laughed and said to Cao Cao,"Father, look closely! I, Cao Zijian, am not someone who only knows how to write! Today, with me, Cao Zijian, around, no one can touch a single hair on my father's head!”
Cao Cao looked at his son in front of him and felt a sense of trance. It was as if Cao Zhi could really fight Guan Yu. However, he quickly shook his head and wanted to get rid of this thought. Although he was touched by Cao Zhi's words, Cao Cao was too afraid of Guan Yu and did not dare to let his son go into danger himself.
However, the situation was urgent, and Cao Zhi knew that Cao Cao would not agree. He did not go into detail and helped Cao Cao onto his horse. Then, he formed a formation and shouted towards the sky,"All troops, listen up! Escort the Prime Minister and kill our way out of Huarong Road!"
With this order, the three thousand elite cavalry shouted in unison, their shouts shaking the heavens and earth. After Cao Zhi's horse roared, the entire army charged out.
On Guan Yu's side, when he saw Cao Jun charging over, he was not flustered. These five hundred machetemen belonged to Guan Yu's direct troops. They had followed Guan Yu on the battlefield for many years and were all elites among elites. What kind of battle formation had they not seen before? Therefore, even though the enemy had six times their number, there was no fear in their eyes. Instead, their eyes were burning with the flames of war.
In front of the five hundred machetemen, Guan Yu, who was leading the army, narrowed his eyes and focused on the Cao army that was charging at him. He gripped the Green Dragon Saber tightly in his hand and turned the blade. The only sound that came out was the hissing of the wind, and it was enough to send a chill down one's spine.
"All troops, listen up!" Guan Yu suddenly ordered.
"Yes!" The expressions of the five hundred machetemen turned cold.
"We can't let a single Cao Jun off! Kill!"
The word "kill" was filled with endless majesty, as if it carried a violent killing intent, causing the listeners to tremble. With Guan Yu's order, the Red Hare Horse beneath him moved. Guan Yu held the Green Dragon Saber and charged at the Cao Army.
