Chapter 214 False
When the confidant got the news about Guan Yu, he immediately returned to the Yuan army camp and told Liu Bei the news about Guan Yu without missing a word.
"It turns out that when Yun Chang was in Cao's camp, he still cared about me. With his help, Cao Cao was no longer afraid!"
After hearing the words of the confidant, Liu Bei was very happy, as if all this was in his control.
"But, to defeat Cao Cao, you have to rely on Yuan Shao's strength."
When Liu Bei thought of this, he immediately walked towards Yuan Shao's military camp.
After seeing Yuan Shao, Liu Bei told Guan Yu in detail.
He said again: "General, Chief Yun has sincerely repented and begs the general to send troops to attack Cao Cao."
"Master, it's inappropriate to do this!"
Before Yuan Shao could respond, Tian Feng, the adviser beside him, said first: "Guan Yu has surrendered to Cao Cao, and it is our enemy. We have to discuss the internal and external cooperation before making a decision. I am afraid that there will be a fraud in it! I think Guan Yu admits his mistake on purpose, but he is afraid that he has dug a trap near the Cao army camp and waits for us to go."
After saying that, Tian Feng glanced at Liu Bei with disdain.
Tian Feng didn't believe this criminal who deceived the emperor very much. It can even be said that he looked down on him from the bottom of his heart, especially when he learned that Yan Liang and Wen Chou were killed by Guan Yu.
Therefore, Tian Feng said again: "You are so anxious to send troops. Have you cooperated with Cao Zhe and prepared to frame the lord?"
After hearing what he said, Yuan Shao's face suddenly became gloomy because he also thought of this concern.
"General, Chief Yun is not what he said."
Liu Bei wanted to kick Tian Feng out and said quickly: "General, General Yun was forced by Cao Cao to surrender. I dare to guarantee it with the head, and Yun Chang would never betray me."
Tian Feng retorted again: "A general who has surrendered to the enemy suddenly came back and said that he could help us fight against the enemy. Does the lord think he can believe it?"
"It's not impossible to believe it!"
At this time, Sima Yi, who also defected to Yuan Shao, stepped forward and said, "As we all know, Xuande's crime of deceiving the king was framed by Cao Cao, and the bloodline of the Han family's relatives could not be erased by changing the genealogy. Yun Chang was Xuande's second brother. The reason why he was loyal to Xuande was to the Han Dynasty. The general was secretly ordered by the emperor to fight against Cao's thieves, and it was also for the Han Dynasty. How could Yun Chang frame us?"
After hearing Sima Yi speak for him, Liu Bei felt relieved, nodded slightly, and said, "Zhongda is right, Yun Chang will definitely not betray us."
After watching Yuan Shao ponder for a while, he said, "What you said is reasonable!"
"Master!"
Tian Feng suddenly became anxious and said, "Guan Yu proposed to cooperate with the inside and outside at this time, and there must be a fraud in it. You cannot rush to attack Cao Cao."
Liu Bei immediately retorted: "Although Cao Cao is weak, he occupied the Guandu gate. If he stalemates with us, he is afraid that there will be changes, and we will suffer the final loss."
Sima Yi echoed: "The distance between Guandu is almost not far, and it is very convenient to allocate grain and grass and send troops to support it. On the contrary, this is our weakness. If we stand stalemate with Cao Cao, we can consume our accumulation."
After hearing what he said, Yuan Shao became more and more moved, and he felt that Guan Yu could kill Cao Cao as an insider.
If it were before, when Cao Cao was short of food, he didn't care much, and he could use Cao Cao to death.
It's different now. Yuan Shao thought that Cao Cao had cheated grain merchants all over the world. If he continued to consume it, he might still be unable to afford it.
"Lord, I think you have to think twice."
Tian Feng still had to continue to object, but at this moment, Ju Su, who said he was sick and stopped discussing matters, suddenly walked in.
"Master, something is wrong!"
Ju Su said anxiously: "The salt formula we got from Cao Cao before has happened!"
During this period, although Ju Su did not pay much attention to military affairs, he continued to deal with matters in Jizhou.
When he suddenly learned that something had happened to Yan, he was shocked. Soon he knew that something was wrong and came over to find Yuan Shao in a hurry.
"What happened?"
When Yuan Shao heard something happened to Yan, he suddenly stood up.
The salt and iron matter is related to their economic lifeline and is extremely important to Yuan Shao and cannot be missed.
Ju Su said: "The eldest son just sent someone an urgent message. The people of the four states ate the salt made from the new formula and all had diarrhea. This matter has been going on for a long time, and the eldest son couldn't suppress it. Now, the people of the four states have begun to boycott our salt, and they demanded that they buy salt from Xudu."
"Impossible. Cao Cao also uses this kind of salt. How could they be fine, but only us have something to do?" Yuan Shao said.
Tian Feng said: "Lord, do you think it was because Cao Cao who had seen through our strategy and deliberately gave us a fake formula?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone present fell into deep thought, and it was not impossible.
After hearing this, Yuan Shao clenched his hands tightly into fists, suppressing his anger and did not erupt.
"Lord, do you still remember the letters that General Yan Liang sent back?"
Ju Su thought of something at this time, and a bad feeling appeared in his heart, and he hurriedly said: "At that time, General Yan Liang's letter mentioned something, and the crossbows suddenly broke all the time."
"It is also possible that the formula was fake at the beginning, and the technique of crossbows was the same. Our plan has been discovered by Cao Cao!"
After saying that, Ju Su lowered his head in panic. The more he thought so, the more terrifying he felt, and he thought about it carefully!
Fortunately, they discovered it earlier. If they fought against Cao Cao later, they would be defeated very badly.
"Chen Yang, this must be Chen Yang's attention, damn it!"
The first figure of a person appeared in Sima Yi's mind, so his voice was almost roaring.
Only Chen Yang can think of such a method.
Yuan Shao's face turned completely gloomy, and he said coldly: "Get the crossbow!"
After a while, a soldier came up with a crossbow.
"Try it for me, I want to know if there is a problem with the crossbow!" Yuan Shao continued to suppress his anger, but his voice became extremely terrifying because of this.
When the soldier heard this, his body trembled slightly in fear, and then another soldier sent an arrow target.
The soldier picked up the crossbow and shot continuously. At the beginning, there was no problem with the crossbow, and Yuan Shao's gloomy face relaxed a little.
However, when the crossbow shot more than thirty arrows, a sudden "bang" sound came out, and the crossbow spread out into irreparable parts and fell to the ground.
Bang!
When Yuan Shao saw this, he kicked the table beside him angrily, and his face suddenly turned ashen.
Liu Bei and Sima Yi also widened their eyes, and at this moment, there was anger in their eyes. They knew that they had been cheated by Chen Yang again this time.
When the archer saw this, he was shocked all over. He knelt down and lowered his head, sweating all over, and did not dare to look at Yuan Shao.
"Really...really false!"
Ju Su said in surprise.
"Cao Cao!"
Yuan Shao gritted his teeth at this name, wishing he could bite Cao Cao to pieces in one bite.
You should know how much they paid for the technology of these crossbows and the salt-making formula?
If the crossbow is destroyed, their advantage on the battlefield will be disintegrated.
The salt formula is toxic, and the biggest benefit is Cao Cao.
And what about him?
I can't get anything, I still pay so much!
"Cao thief deserves to die. Please ask the general to believe Yun Chang's words and send troops to attack. Cao Cao will die if he cooperates with the inside and outside!"
