Just as the scout had said, a few soldiers were sprinkling water to clean the streets.
There were people playing chess and drinking on the city tower. The person on the left was wearing a green robe.
With a three-foot-long beard and sitting upright, who else could it be but Guan Yu?
"Why would Guan Yu appear in Shangyong?"
Cao Zhen's heart sank. He looked suspiciously at the surrounding mountains and felt increasingly uneasy.
Although he hadn't seen Guan Yu for years, he could still recognize him at a glance from the heroic spirit he exuded and his unique attire.
Especially that unique bearing, others could not fake it.
Guan Ping and Zhou Cang stood behind Guan Yu. Zhou Cang held the Green Dragon Crescent Blade.
Guan Ping was pouring wine at the side, not even looking at the army coming from outside the city.
Opposite Guan Yu was a young general. The two of them were focused on playing chess.
Guan Yu brought the cup of wine to his lips but did not drink it for a long time, as if it was a critical moment.
A gust of wind blew past, and the flags fluttered. The vegetation on the mountain ridge made a humming sound.
Cao Zhen's heart tightened, but since he was already here, he couldn't retreat just like that. He had to test the situation!
He gave the deputy generals beside him a look, telling them to be careful of their surroundings.
He rode forward alone and shouted,
"Is that General Yun Chang?"
Guan Yu turned around and saw Cao Zhen.
He stood up, stroked his long beard, and laughed,"
"Who is it that has mobilized so many people?
So it's Zidan. I haven't seen you for a few years. How have you been?”
Cao Zhen's heart sank. He was certain that this was the real body.
However, the sound and shape were extremely difficult. Guan Yu was most familiar with Zhang Liao when he was in Cao Cao's camp.
Cao Zhen often went to Zhang Liao's residence, so he could naturally tell at a glance whether it was real or fake.
The doubt in his heart deepened. He coughed lightly and asked,
"The lord is still as heroic as before. Why isn't he guarding the Jing state but in Shangyong?”
On top of the city wall, Guan Yu snorted lightly and said proudly,"
"I don't have any worthy opponents in the Jing State, like Yu Jin and Pang De.
Xu Huang and Cao Ren had also abandoned Xiangyang and retreated north of the Han River.
I came to Shangyong because I wanted to fight with Gong Ming in front of the battle array, I didn't expect Zi Dan to come first!”
Hearing this news, Cao Zhen was shocked.
Guan Yu flooded the seven armies of the Jin Dynasty, captured and killed Pang De, and shocked China.
Even Cao Cao had the intention of moving the capital.
Xu Huang and Cao Ren were still in Xiangyang, so Guan Yu didn't have the time to come to Shangyong.
At the thought of this.
Cold sweat broke out on his forehead, he had thought that Shangyong would be within his grasp this time.
He did not expect Xiangyang to fall first. It was very likely that Dongwu had broken its promise or failed to launch a sneak attack.
On the battlefield, the situation changed rapidly.
Although it was fast enough, it still took nearly half a month.
Who knew what the situation in Jing State was like? If Guan Yu saw that the rear was empty, the consequences would be unimaginable!
Cao Zhen looked suspiciously at the city. There were no banners or troops.
Looking at the swaying grass and trees on the mountaintop, could it be that he was lying in ambush outside the city?
Thinking of this, he felt even more uneasy. It was impossible to charge into the city.
He didn't know what was going on in the city, and Guan Yu was right on top of the city wall. He didn't have the guts to charge in.
Just as he was thinking, Guan Yu said,"
"In the past, Prime Minister Cao treated me like an honored guest, and I have always been grateful.
Since Zidan is here today, why not go into the city for a chat?
I've prepared some wine here to express my gratitude!”
When Cao Zhen saw Guan Yu holding a glass of wine and handing it over, he immediately felt a huge pressure.
It wasn't that Guan Yu was very powerful, but that Guan Yu's confidence made him feel more and more uneasy.
"Zidan, I, Guan, am a man of my word. I will never harm you.
Look, I've already ordered people to clean the streets to welcome the general. Why are you so hesitant?”
Seeing that Cao Zhen did not reply, Guan Yu snorted.
He put down his wine cup and flung his sleeves.
"Looks like Zidan needs me to personally welcome him before he's willing to enter the city.”
Cao Zhen felt guilty when he saw Guan Yu turn around and walk down the city.
Guan Yu had deliberately delayed the battle earlier, but now he was in a hurry to go down the city. It was very likely that he was setting up an ambush.
Seeing Guan Yu get up, Cao Zhenshi did not even turn around. He turned his horse around and shouted,"
"Retreat!"
The three thousand cavalrymen retreated under Cao Zhen's leadership. The sound of hooves could be heard outside Shangyong City, and dust flew into the air.
Guan Yu walked to the stairs and turned back. His phoenix eyes flashed with a cold light as he sighed,"
"Cao Cao's army is in order, even when retreating, they are still so orderly. In the future, we should strengthen the training of elite soldiers.”
Liu Feng nodded in agreement. He had thought that Kou Wei's cavalrymen were not bad.
Today, after seeing Cao Zhen's army, he finally understood what a true elite cavalry was.
"Second Uncle, we don't have much time. Let's retreat immediately!”
The things on the city walls were not packed up. Liu Feng, Guan Yu, and the others went down the city tower and left Shangyong with the remaining soldiers.
Along the way, Guan Yu seemed to be in a much better mood. He laughed and said,"
"I didn't expect that nephew's plan would be so ingenious. The empty city actually scared Cao Zhen into retreating in panic.
If this matter were to spread, he would be laughed at by the world.”
Liu Feng chuckled.
How could he have thought of such a brilliant plan? He said humbly,
"It's all because Second Uncle Hu intimidated them. If it was nephew himself, I'm afraid Cao Zhen would have charged in.”
After the great change in Jing State, Guan Yu's personality had changed a lot.
The cold arrogance on his body was completely gone, replaced by a kind of peace. Even he himself felt that his understanding of martial arts had reached a higher realm.
In the past few days, Liu Feng's recent performance had exceeded what he had heard and seen in the past.
Whether it was his bearing or his personality, he was different from before. His good impression of him instantly increased by quite a bit!
"Ding! The host has scared off the enemy. The reward is 10 lottery draws!”
