Guan Yu shook his head firmly.”
Liu Feng looked at Guan Yu's expression and knew that he had made up his mind.
However, with Guan Yu in the city, they would have a greater chance of success.
Moreover, the deterrence effect would be better, so he did not force it anymore.
Time was of the essence. He turned around and instructed Meng Da,"
"Zidu, quickly take your men and prepare to retreat. Just choose ten elite soldiers from the army and leave them behind.
Remember, each of you must leave a warhorse behind.
As long as there was enough grain for the journey, the rest of the supplies would be burned ten miles outside the city!”
Seeing that Meng Da still wanted to argue, he said,
"Someone needs to lead the troops to evacuate. You have a huge responsibility.
There's not much time left. Go and prepare quickly. Oh right, remember to bring Mr. Hua along!”
Meng Da was helpless and could only go down to prepare. Liao Hua, Guan Ping, and Zhou Cang also had to follow Guan Yu.
Liu Feng could not persuade them, so he could only keep them.
After everyone dispersed, Liu Feng said to Guan Yu,"
"Actually, my plan is very risky, and everyone's lives might be in danger!”
Guan Yu caressed his disappointment and said lightly,"
"Nephew, don't say anything more. We can be considered to have been reborn as humans.
If you have any good ideas, tell me quickly. Then, you can retreat with the army. I'll just act according to the plan.”
Liu Feng shook his head with a bitter smile.
"This plan can only be carried out with nephew here, and with second uncle here, the chances of success are even greater!”
He paused for a moment before continuing,
"Actually, nephew is also betting that Cao Zhen has always been cautious and will never be greedy for credit!”
Guan Yu narrowed his eyes and nodded,"
"Cao Zhen and I are quite familiar with each other.
Although you are not aggressive enough, you are good at winning steadily. I wonder where your plan comes from?”
Liu Feng looked at everyone and slowly said,
"This plan is called the Empty City Stratagem. Next is the time to test everyone's courage.
Let's take a gamble!"
Without waiting for Guan Yu to ask further, he instructed his bodyguard,"
"Immediately prepare the banquet and the chessboard. Set them up on the eastern gate tower.”
Cao Zhen was originally guarding Wancheng, but he suddenly received a secret order from Cao Cao to send troops to recapture Shangyong.
Shangyong was originally a city under his jurisdiction. Previously, Cao Ren had asked for help in Xiangyang, and Xu Huang had gone to help.
Wancheng and Xinye did not have enough soldiers, so Liu Bei's army easily took Shangyong. Cao Zhen had always held a grudge.
This time, he received a secret order. He heard that Wu was preparing to seize South County and that there was a change in Jingzhou.
Xu Huang and Cao Ren had already broken through the encirclement, and Guan Yu would naturally be defeated. Only then did he relax.
Immediately send troops to take Shangyong City. Shangyong City was already in sight. It had just been occupied by Liu Bei's army and now it was going to be taken back.
Shangyong had just been conquered, they were defenseless and isolated, this was the best chance for revenge.
Taking down Shangyong should be effortless, he originally thought that twenty thousand troops would be enough.
However, Cao Cao had ordered him to bring 50,000 elite soldiers, almost emptying Wan City. It seemed that he was determined to win against Shangyong.
Just as he was thinking about how the war in Jingzhou was going, he heard a horse scout report,
"General! We have already reached Shangyong, please make a decision!”
Cao Zhen nodded and ordered calmly,"
"Send my order, set up camp 500 meters outside the city!”
The messenger said,"
"General, there's one more thing that's very strange. Please investigate it!”
Cao Zhen frowned slightly.”
The messenger replied,"I just went to check. There seems to be no garrison on Shangyong City."
Moreover, the city gates were wide open and completely defenseless!”
"Ah?"
Cao Zhen was taken aback. Although he had marched quickly, it was impossible for the other party to not know that he had come to attack the city.
This was 50,000 people, even 3,000.
The scout would have noticed it too, so he asked in disbelief,
"Did you see it clearly?"
The messenger said,"
"General, this lowly one has been watching the city for the time it takes to brew half a cup of tea.
There was no movement in the city. There were still people playing chess on the city gate. There were only a few soldiers cleaning the streets at the city gate.”
Cao Zhen's frown deepened. He had led troops to fight for decades.
He had never seen such a strange thing before, and he felt that something was wrong.
After thinking for a moment, he immediately ordered,
"Order the army to rest and not dismount.
Prepare to fight at any time and wait for me to personally go and check!”
Cao Zhen brought a few deputies and three thousand vanguard troops to Shangyong City. The further they walked, the deeper the doubts in his heart.
Shangyong's city gates were indeed wide open, there were only a few people on the city walls, no patrolling guards could be seen.
What was even stranger was that there were two large flags on the city wall.
Other than the "Liu" flag, why was there another "Guan"?
There weren't many people with the surname Guan in the Shu army. It seemed that only Guan Yu was there. Could it be that Guan Yu's son was in the city?
He walked forward in confusion until he could see the people on the city wall clearly.
Cao Zhen almost cried out in surprise. The hand holding the spear trembled slightly.
