Seeing Liu Bei's hesitant expression.
Xiahou Yu bowed and said," Lord Xuande, the lives of these thousands of Luoyang people are all in your hands. Xiahou Yu begs you!"”
Cao Cao did not understand why he wanted to send Liu Bei to his death, but he trusted Xiahou Yu and said,
"Xuande, whether or not we can protect the people and retreat safely is all up to you and your Pingyuan soldiers. I, Cao Mengde, do not like to owe others favors in my life.”
"Duke Meng De, let me think!"
Liu Bei still did not relent. Although he liked his reputation, he cherished his life more.
Dong Zhuo's Western Liang Army was at least 200,000 strong, and a few thousand of them could easily take down his 500 soldiers.
Xiahou Yu knew that Liu Bei was worried and said,""Duke Xuande, don't worry. I won't send you to your death. What my lord and I lack is time.
There's a small city not far from here. When our army escorts the people to the city, our army will definitely come to help!“
Guan Yu hadn't made any contributions in the battle against Dong, so he was already anxious. He advised,""Big brother, what are you afraid of with my and third brother's skills?”
"Big brother, it's not that I, Zhang Yide, am boasting, but even if the servant of the three families, Lu Bu, came, he wouldn't be able to hurt you!"”
Xiahou Yu wanted Liu Bei's life. He gave Cao Cao a look and bowed again, saying,"Duke Xuande, please!"
Cao Cao was smart and instantly understood. He cupped his fists and said,"Xuande, please!"
At this moment, Liu Bei was already in a difficult position. If he didn't go, his reputation would be ruined, let alone gaining fame.
Therefore, he gritted his teeth and stomped his foot."Alright, I'll lead the Pingyuan Army to stop the Western Liang troops!”
Seeing that Liu Bei had agreed, Xiahou Yu did not waste any time and said,"There's no time to lose. We'll move the commoners now so that we can buy some time to receive Duke Xuande!”
……
On the official road, the Cao army had already retreated tens of miles with thousands of wealthy families.
Seeing that there was no one around, Cao Cao asked Xiahou Yu in a low voice,""Military Advisor, why did you kill the Pingyuan County Magistrate? Do you have a personal grudge with the military counselor? But I remember that this is the first time you've met!”
Hearing Cao Cao's words, Xiahou Yu rolled his eyes. If it weren't for Liu Bei, there wouldn't have been the defeat of Red Cliff or the defeat of Han River. Cao Mengde would have unified China long ago.
However, he couldn't say these words out loud. Otherwise, Cao Cao would definitely treat him as a lunatic.
So he said,"I know how to observe people. Liu Bei lowered his hands and knees and looked at his ears." Few words, joy and anger do not show on the face, this is the appearance of a fierce hero.
He will be the lord's future enemy!"
Cao Cao laughed and said," Advisor, you worry too much. Liu Bei's army is only a few hundred, and the city is only a county. Although he has some style, there is nothing to fear!”
It was no wonder that he did not take Liu Bei seriously. He had too little contact with Liu Bei and did not understand him well enough. He did not understand how terrifying Liu Bei was.
Hearing Cao Cao's words, Xiahou Yu smiled slightly and did not explain further. Otherwise, it would seem that he was jealous of the wise. After all, Liu Bei had a narrow escape this time.
"My lord, Liu Bei's 500 soldiers can't stop the Western Liang soldiers for long. We still need to do this…"
Cao Cao was overjoyed when he heard that." So you already have a plan in mind. You even made me worry all the way!"”
……
"Second brother, take big brother and leave! I'll block them for a moment!"
Zhang Yide roared angrily. The eighteen feet long Snake Spear in his hand did not stop for a moment, stabbing the Western Liang cavalrymen one after another.
Hearing this, Guan Yu swept his Green Dragon Crescent Blade horizontally, repelling dozens of cavalrymen in front of him. He said,""Good! I'll leave Yi De to you!"
After saying that, he turned his horse around and galloped towards Liu Bei.
Not far away, Liu Bei was already exhausted. His arms were trembling slightly, and the two swords in his hands were already curled up.
At this moment, there was no one else around him other than the Western Liang cavalry. All 500 of his plain soldiers had died.
If it wasn't for the fact that Guan Zhang's two underlings were incomparably brave, he would have already died.
As he approached, Guan Yu slashed several people with his Green Dragon Crescent Blade and shouted,""Big brother, follow me!"
Liu Bei nodded his head helplessly and fled with Guan Yu, leaving Zhang Fei to fend off the pursuers.
……
In a valley, Xiahou Yu was drinking tea happily.
At this moment, a scout reported.
"Reporting to my lord, military counselor, Liu Bei has escaped with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. Behind the three of them are 5,000 Western Liang cavalry!”
"F * ck!"
Xiahou Yu threw down the teacup in his hand and blurted out a famous saying from later generations.
He cursed in his heart,[Liu Bei is really resistant to beatings. He's like a cockroach that can't be killed. He can even run away like this!]
