Chapter 80 Guan Yu's Fame Spreads Throughout the World
Xiahou Dun personally welcomed Guan Yu back from outside, and then went alone to the rear of the military camp.
After confirming that no one was around, he picked up his large sword and began to wield it.
Each swing of his broadsword produced a whooshing sound as it cut through the air.
Use this method to vent your frustration!
What displeased Xiahou Dun was not entirely his personality, but Guan Yu's casual disdain!
That disdainful attitude wasn't an act at all!
It's not that they look down on it from the bottom of their hearts!
The more certain he was that it wasn't an act, the more frustrated he felt.
Even though you know exactly what the other person means, you still have to greet them with a smile.
This was an immense torment for Xiahou Dun!
The sound of air being torn apart continued, and sweat was constantly being poured out!
"boom--"
With his broadsword planted firmly in the ground, Xiahou Dun gasped for breath, feeling much better.
"General's martial prowess is truly breathtaking!" Xun Yu, who had arrived at some point, clapped his hands lightly.
Xiahou Dun gave a soft snort, feeling somewhat embarrassed, and did not say anything.
Xun Yu's voice still echoed, "Do you know why our lord made this arrangement?"
"Patience is an essential quality for a great general. Only by controlling one's emotions and not letting them sway one can one achieve great things in the future!"
"Our lord's hopes for the general go far beyond simply guarding Kaiyang!"
"I hope the general... understands!"
Upon hearing these words, Xun Yu turned and left.
Xiahou Dun was left alone there. After a long silence, he respectfully bowed towards the direction of Ye City...
……
When Cao Cao learned that Guan Yu had made a move in Kaiyang and had swiftly killed Yan Liang, he couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Only now, at this point, has the matter been settled!
Without any hesitation, he immediately used all available means to spread the news of Guan Yu's killing of Yan Liang as quickly as possible.
And he praised Guan Yu highly!
Cao Cao had always liked Guan Yu, and he spared no effort in doing so.
then.
The imperial court's rewards, imperial edicts, and various other means of dissemination.
In no time, Guan Yu's name was spread everywhere!
Qingzhou, Linzi.
At the Prime Minister's Residence
Li Zhao is checking on the newly registered migrants. The arrival of the previous migrants has attracted even more people.
They are coming here in a steady stream. Although the area is starting to get a little tense, it's not a big problem for Li Zhao.
With more food in hand, why worry about not having enough place to live?
Even when he was doing his recent statistics, Liu Bei and Xu Shu arrived in a hurry.
Before they even got close, they heard Liu Bei's anxious voice, "My lord, something has happened..."
Li Zhao looked up. "What's wrong?"
Faced with his question, Liu Bei was at a loss for words and could only sigh helplessly.
Xu Shu, who was standing nearby, chimed in, "My lord, General Guan led his troops to Kaiyang County and helped Cao Cao's army kill Yuan Shao's general Yan Liang!"
"This matter has become the talk of the town, and we're the last to know!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than Liu Bei cupped his hands and said, "Second brother, you are reckless and don't understand the trouble involved!"
"We beg your lord to punish us severely. We three brothers have said from the beginning that we will share both good times and bad!"
"I am willing to take the punishment for my second brother; please, my lord, deal with him severely!"
Done.
He stood respectfully bowing, appearing as if awaiting his fate.
Li Zhao frowned slightly and waved his hand, saying, "Let's not talk about that now!"
"Please explain exactly what happened!"
immediately.
Only after the two people explained the situation did he understand what had happened.
Unfolding the newly drawn map, he glanced at the location where his eyes had opened and immediately understood.
Cao Cao's tactic wasn't new, but it was extremely effective against people like Liu Bei and Guan Yu!
Because he held the reins of the court, and legitimacy was of utmost importance!
Guan Yu was probably mainly considering Liu Bei's situation, which is why he acted without asking for permission.
The logic that a general in the field may disobey the emperor's orders is not entirely wrong!
Li Zhao had a strange feeling...
Due to a series of unforeseen circumstances, Yan Liang actually died at the hands of Guan Yu.
This is exactly the same as the original historical development, only the process has changed.
How could this happen?
Seeing that Li Zhao hadn't spoken for a long time, Liu Bei was about to continue to apologize, but Xu Shu stopped him.
He knew that Li Zhao was not considering how to deal with the situation, but rather how to solve it.
"This can't be blamed on him..." Li Zhao slowly shook his head.
"He's considering your situation. If this edict fell into your hands, and you happened to be abroad, you would probably make the same choice!"
"We intend to provoke a conflict between them. Cao Cao is no fool; it's only natural that he would try to retaliate!"
"Don't think about punishment; now we should be thinking about how to solve the problem!"
Liu Bei cast a grateful glance, but immediately found himself in a new predicament.
This made Guan Yu famous throughout the world, and he gained a great deal of benefit in terms of reputation.
But doing so would completely offend Yuan Shao!
Given this person's character, he will never let this go easily, and trouble will come soon!
"The current trouble is..." Xu Shu took a deep breath and said.
"If Yuan Shao believes we're cooperating with Cao Cao, then we won't be able to stay out of their struggle!"
"More importantly, if Yuan Shao attacks us, Cao Cao will definitely stand by and do nothing!"
"There's no other way!" Li Zhao rubbed his fingers together, already having made up his mind.
"The only way to seek help from Yuan Shao's subordinates is to offer them absolutely invaluable benefits!"
"Try to take advantage of this person's greed and change things as much as possible, but also be prepared for contingencies!"
"If Yuan Shao really takes action, then in the name of the imperial court, we should definitively label him a traitor!"
"Even if we ultimately have to take action, we can't let Cao Cao stay out of it!"
For him now, the problem isn't food, but how to use it.
Faced with the established facts, all we can do is gamble on Yuan Shao's character!
Xu Shu did not hesitate and immediately accepted the task of being the persuader.
He left Qingzhou as quickly as possible to meet Guo Tu, a subordinate of Yuan Shao.
The benefits that Li Zhao could offer were Xu Shu's bottom line!
In this day and age, having plenty of food is more valuable than any amount of money!
As it turns out, when faced with absolute benefits, he didn't need to say anything more.
After accepting a large amount of grain, Guo Tu proactively promised to resolve the problem.
Otherwise, everything received would be returned in full, but new demands were also made.
That means from now on, Li Zhao will have to bear half of all the expenses needed by their family!
Such cooperation can continue, and resolving this issue is a testament to his sincerity.
Xu Shu was stunned. Could there be such an unexpected gain?
