Chapter 650 Night Attack
After Guan Yu left, Lu Bu said to Han Tao with dissatisfaction: "Lord, this Guan Yu is so arrogant. Why does the lord need to spend so much effort on him?"
Han Tao looked at Lu Bu seriously and responded: "Guan Yu is loyal and brave, and has high military power. Such a person is worthy of conquering. Moreover, I spent my time with him not only to acquire a military general, but also to fundamentally disintegrate the alliance between Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and Liu Bei."
Lu Bu looked at Han Tao with a puzzled look, obviously not understanding his intention.
"Okay, Fengxian, if you can't figure it out, don't bother with it." Han Tao knew that using his brain was not Lu Bu's good at, so he smiled and advised him.
"You two have worked hard during the day, so go and have a rest. Help me call Han Sheng, Wen Chang, Ling Ming and the other two. I have something to tell them to do." Han Tao said to Lu Bu and Ma Chao.
The two bowed and said goodbye to Han Tao and left.
After a while, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan and Pang De came to Han Tao.
Han Tao looked at the three of them carefully, frowned and thought.
Huang Zhong didn't understand Han Tao's intention and asked in confusion: "Lord, do you have something to tell us the three of you to do it?"
Han Tao nodded slowly and asked to the three of them: "No, but I'll see, which of you three has never made up your mind to take on this important task."
Huang Zhong immediately took the initiative to say, "Then you don't have to worry about your lord, just let me go."
Wei Yan and Pang De were not willing to give in, and they all came forward to ask for their orders.
"The three of you don't have to fight each other. Actually, I'm hesitant, mainly because you three have their own requirements, but they all have obvious shortcomings, so I'm hesitant." Han Tao explained to them.
"Han Sheng, among the three, your strength is the strongest. If you wave the Qinglong Yanyue Sword, it should be like an arm to make your fingers, which is the most relaxed. But your height and size are far from Guan Yu."
"As for Wen Chang, his height and size are the closest, but his Xiangfan accent is far from Guan Yu's Hedong Jieliang accent. As long as he opens his mouth, he will reveal flaws."
"Ling Ming's accent is a bit similar, but his body shape and mental strength are a little worse..." Han Tao said all the shortcomings of the three of them.
Huang Zhong and the other two looked at each other, then said to Han Tao in confusion: "Lord, do you want us to pretend to be Guan Yu?"
"Yes, I need one person to pretend to be Guan Yu and lead his troops to Yuan Shao's camp, pretend that Guan Yu escaped, tricked the camp, and led the army to attack at night. This person must not only have the courage of thousands of men, but also be able to swing Guan Yu's Qinglong Yanyue Sword, and his accent must also be close. Now it seems that it seems that all three of you are difficult to take this great responsibility." Han Tao shook his head helplessly and sighed.
Although it was a sneak attack in the dark to make up for some appearance deviations, Han Tao still hoped that the details should be minimized. After all, tonight's action was related to whether Guan Yu could be conquered and provoked Liu Bei and Yuan Shao's relationship was not hasty.
"Lord, since that's the case, why not let Gongming go?" Huang Zhong understood Han Tao's thoughts and suggested to him.
Gongming?!
Huang Zhong's reminder made Han Tao suddenly realize that he had been struggling with the sword just now, and then he thought of Huang Zhong and the other two.
In fact, Xu Huang is also from Hedong, and the big axe he uses requires very strong strength. Even if he switches to a knife, there will be no big problems. As for his height and body shape, he is also closer to Guan Yu.
"Han Sheng reminded me well. I will arrange Gongming immediately and let him complete this task!" Han Tao made the decision excitedly...
...
As night fell, the Allied camp also became quiet.
The first frontal battle lost tens of thousands of soldiers and Jiao Tuo. Zhang Nan and Guan Yu were also captured alive by Han Tao, which made Yuan Shao and Liu Bei feel very depressed.
The two of them exchanged a few simple words with Cao Cao, comforted each other, and then they turned their own camps, and then arranged for generals and soldiers to strengthen night guards to prevent Han Tao's troops from coming to attack at night.
At this time, it was already dark, but Yuan Shao refused to fall asleep. He was still discussing tactics with Xu You, Pang Ji and others, and the lights were still on in the central army's tent.
At the entrance of the village, Yuan Shao's general Ma Yan and his soldiers patrol and guard.
A rapid sound of horse hooves came from the night in the distance, attracting Ma Yan's attention.
"The whole army is on guard and be careful of the enemy's attack at night!" Ma Yan immediately became alert and issued an order to fight to his subordinates.
More than a dozen war horses came slowly in the distance. The first person was holding the Qinglong Yanyue Sword. Xu Huang, disguised as Guan Yu, followed by several soldiers. They all looked very tired and covered in blood.
The leader shouted loudly: "I am Guan Yu, Guan Yun, and I escaped from the enemy camp. I will open the gate of the village and let me in!"
When Ma Yan heard that the person who came signed up for Guan Yu, he looked very similar to Guan Yu from a distance.
But he still did not dare to make decisions without authorization, so he could only respond loudly: "General Guan, since you are back, why don't you go back to the Liu Envoy's camp, but why do you go to the Alliance Leader's camp?"
"I was chased by the enemy and was in a panic and arrived at the camp of the leader of the alliance. Now the enemy is chasing him. If the general does not allow me to enter the village, and the enemy will chase him, Guan Mou will be dead. Please let Guan Mou enter the village because of the alliance!" "Guan Yu" explained loudly.
Seeing that the other party explained this, there were only a dozen people, and believed it, he immediately ordered his subordinates: "Quickly, open the gate of the village and let General Guan come in."
The soldiers opened the gate of the village, and "Guan Yu" led his subordinates to the gate, and Ma Yan urged the horse to come forward.
Ma Yan was about to say hello, but unexpectedly the other party pointed behind Ma Yan and said loudly: "Who is behind the general?"
Ma Yan was shocked and looked back subconsciously. However, Xu Huang waved the Qinglong Yanyue Sword in his hand, raised the knife and fell, killing Ma Yan off his horse.
Ma Yan's subordinates were shocked and did not understand why "Guan Yu" wanted to kill his chief general.
"Guan Yu" shouted angrily: "Guan has surrendered to the Prime Minister. Today, he specially led troops to kill Yuan Shao!"
After saying that, he waved his weapons with more than a dozen soldiers and began to rush into the military camp, and began to kill the enemy soldiers.
Then, hundreds of soldiers broke out from the open space outside the village and roared together and rushed into Yuan Shao's camp.
Yuan Shao's soldiers did not expect "Guan Yu" to surrender and came to attack the enemy in panic, but because Ma Yan was killed, he lost command and was killed several people in an instant.
The soldiers who were quick to react did not dare to fight with "Guan Yu" anymore, and rushed to report the news to the Central Army's tent.
Yuan Shao and others were discussing tactics, and suddenly heard the shouts of killing outside. They were surprised that a soldier ran in panic.
"Report to the lord, Guan Yu lied that he had fled back from the enemy camp and tricked General Ma Yan into opening the gate of the village, but he killed General Ma Yan with one sword! He claimed that he had surrendered to Han Tao and was rushing into the camp with his soldiers!"
