At this moment, a secret letter was shot into the city. Who else could it be but Cao Cao?
Liu Bei hurriedly took the silk and opened it. A smile immediately appeared on his face.
"It really is a letter from Cao Cao. He asked me to attack Lu Bu tomorrow morning.”
Liu Bei smiled and handed the silk to Guan Yu for Zhang Fei to inspect.
After the two of them saw it, they were overjoyed.
"Big brother, since Cao Cao has arrived, the danger of Xiao Pei has been resolved. Third brother and I will go down and prepare the soldiers.”
Guan Yu said with a smile.
Zhang Fei also nodded. He clenched his fists tightly and waved them."I have been waiting for this moment for a long time. Tomorrow, I will be the vanguard and kill him a few times.”
"Good!"
"Second brother, third brother, go and prepare. It won't be too late for us to rest after we defeat Lu Bu tomorrow morning.”
Liu Bei nodded excitedly.
"Yes."
The two of them cupped their fists and turned to leave.
But before the two of them walked out of the room, Jian Yong waved and shouted from the side.
"General Guan, General Zhang, wait!”
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei stopped in their tracks and turned around to look at him.
"Xianhe, is there anything?" Liu Bei knew that Jian Yong was a steady person. Since he spoke, he must have something to say.
"My lord…Lu Bu has just started attacking the city today, and Cao Cao's letter has already arrived at night.”Jian Yong held the silk cloth and shook his head." We don't have enough troops now. If we leave the city rashly, we might be ambushed.”
Liu Bei was not stupid and immediately reacted,""Are you worried that this is Chen Gong's plan to lure me out of the city?”
"Exactly." Jian Yong nodded.
"This…"
Liu Bei hesitated.
If this was really Chen Gong's plan, he would have been completely annihilated by Lu Bu's army.
But what if it wasn't a trick and Cao Cao really came?
If this ruined Cao Cao's plan and affected Cao Cao's attack on Xuzhou, he would regret it and not give him Guangling. Wouldn't he miss the opportunity?
While he was in a dilemma, Jian Yong's expression changed and he said,""My lord, please take out the letter that Cao Cao sent over earlier. We will be clear after we compare it.”
"I remember that Cao Cao left a secret message in the letter.”
When Liu Bei heard this, he slapped his forehead.
"Xianhe, you reminded me. I'll go get it now.”
He turned around and went to the study room. He took out the bamboo slip that Cao Cao had given him and quickly rushed back to the hall to open it.
Everyone came over and checked.
A moment later, Jian Yong pointed at the most obvious lines of words and said,""My lord, look, the code is here."
Liu Bei read it a few times and finally came back to his senses."I almost forgot about such an important matter. If it wasn't for Xian and you reminding me, I would have made a huge mistake!”
He was secretly afraid.
He was now certain that the secret letter was Chen Gong's plan to lure the enemy out of the city.
This was because the letter did not contain the code words that Cao Cao had left behind.
"My lord, you don't have to blame yourself."
"The code words left behind by Cao Cao are quite exquisite. Even I had to read it a few times before I could understand it. Moreover, more than a month has passed.”
Jian Yong consoled.
At the same time, he was proud of his intelligence.
Among the people present, only he could tell that Cao Cao had left a secret message in his letter.
The others couldn't see it.
"No matter what, Xianhe, you have made a great contribution this time. After we go to Guangling, I will definitely reward you according to your contribution.”Liu Bei shook his head.
Jian Yong's reminder this time was worth ten thousand gold.
It allowed him to avoid the fate of being completely annihilated.
This was a great contribution, and he had to reward him.
"Mister's wisdom is indeed extraordinary."
"I underestimated you before, please don't blame me.”
Even the arrogant Guan Yu thought highly of Jian Yong. After cupping his hands and bowing, he said politely.
"General Guan, you flatter me."
Jian Yong hurriedly returned the greeting.
However, he felt even more pleased with himself.
Guan Yu was arrogant and always looked at people coldly.
Previously, Guan Yu had treated him coldly and often looked down on him. However, today, Guan Yu was filled with admiration for him.
This made him extremely satisfied.
"Although I, Old Zhang, don't know any secret language, since you've seen through Chen Gong's scheme, I'll let you off.”
Zhang Fei cupped his hands at Jian Yong, then looked at Liu Bei." Big brother, I said that Mister Jian is extremely intelligent! I definitely won't make a mistake!"
"Yi De, why are you bringing this up again?”Liu Bei glared at Zhang Fei in embarrassment.
Back then, Jian Yong had told him that Su Ran was indeed useless after testing her, which caused him to lose confidence in Su Ran. Then, he let his third brother drive Su Ran away in anger without asking more questions.
Later on, everything was as Su Ran had expected. Zhang Fei had lost Xuzhou and he had suffered heavy losses. He could only temporarily live in Xiao Pei and live under someone else's roof.
Every time he blamed Zhang Fei for this matter, Zhang Fei would reply with these words.
In the past, Zhang Fei could not find any confidence. Today's matter made Zhang Fei's confidence rise.
However, he thought about it.
Perhaps what Su Ran predicted back then was really just a coincidence?
After all, Jian Yong did have some intelligence, he shouldn't have made a mistake…
