System Blessing: The Young Master of the Dong Family and Diao Chan's Fate

"promise!"

Sun Qian bowed and immediately understood Liu Bei's intention.

These five thousand people are the five thousand new recruits in Liu Bei's hands.

Liu Bei needed to use this method to implicitly remind Guan Yu how many of the 50,000 troops in their hands were elite soldiers and how many were a mob.

Now is a turbulent time, and he must calm down the superb Guan Yu.

...

Shanyang County, Changyi

After Cao Cao led his army to arrive here, they stopped for a while to rest.

The reason was naturally because the vanguard army suffered defeat and losses, forcing him to rest temporarily.

The army's food and fodder needed to be transported along the Si River, which could go directly to the city of Xia Pi.

Therefore, Xiaopei, a city on the banks of the Si River, is of vital importance.

Because if Xiaopei could not be captured, the canal transportation would be unusable, and the cost of land transportation was too high for Cao Cao to afford.

"As expected of Yun Chang."

"He actually killed two of my generals."

Cao Cao looked at the defeated soldiers kneeling on the ground and trembling, his face full of regret and emotion.

The two brothers Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang were brave generals selected by him from among Yuan Shao's former subordinates.

He can be regarded as a first-rate warrior in front of the two of them. Although he is at the bottom of the first-rate, he is still quite capable.

In a one-on-one fight, both of them could barely tie with Yu Jin.

But what Cao Cao appreciated was that these two men were brothers and had a great understanding of each other. When they worked together, even Le Jin would find it difficult to defeat them.

These two men made many military achievements during the campaign against Yuan Shu, and even killed several powerful generals under Yuan Shu.

This is also the reason why Cao Cao asked the two of them to be vanguards.

Because these two people work together very well!

But what he didn't expect was that these two powerful men were killed in seconds by Guan Yu with just one sword.

"My lord, our army's morale has been damaged. Shouldn't we think of a solution?"

Cheng Yu stroked his beard and asked with a gloomy face.

"No need."

"I understand Yunchang's character."

"Although Lü Kuang and Lü Xiang are dead, they are not without merit."

"Send the order, the army will march out tomorrow and head straight for Xiaopei."

Cao Cao waved his hand and said confidently.

Cao Cao had heard a little about Guan Yu's arrogance.

This time, Guan Yu won a quick victory and led his troops to intercept and kill the vanguard army, which undoubtedly fueled this arrogance.

As the saying goes, arrogant soldiers will be defeated.

Cao Cao felt that this was a point that could be targeted.

Xiaopei

Sun Qian hurried over with five thousand new soldiers.

At this time, Guan Yu was preparing his troops and was ready to leave the city and fight a decisive battle with Cao Cao at any time.

"Sun Qian, why did you come here alone?"

Guan Yu frowned and asked with an unhappy look on his face.

"General Guan."

"Xuzhou is busy with affairs, and the lord has no time to take care of other things."

Sun Qian bowed and said helplessly.

"It doesn't matter. Even if it's just Guan alone, it's enough to deal with Cao Cao."

Guan Yu nodded in understanding and said proudly.

After he finished speaking, Guan Yu asked again, "How many troops did my elder brother ask you to lead this time?"

"General Guan, the lord has asked me to lead 5,000 new soldiers to help you defend the city."

Sun Qian answered truthfully.

"what?"

"Five thousand, and new soldiers?"

Guan Yu's red face turned a little redder than purple.

Obviously, his proposal was not adopted by Liu Bei.

This made Guan Yu feel a little uncomfortable.

As a general stationed in Xiaopei, he faced Cao Cao's edge head-on.

Now that we have defeated the enemy, shouldn't we take advantage of the high morale and defeat the invading enemy in one fell swoop?

What kind of city are we defending? Will we be able to fight?

"Father, is it possible that this is the trust that uncle has in you?"

Guan Ping on the side did not give Sun Qian a chance to explain and asked back immediately.

"Ok?"

Guan Yu was stunned for a moment, then his eyes suddenly lit up.

Yup!

Big brother, are you saying that with my, Guan Yu's ability, even with only 5,000 new recruits, I can kill Cao Cao's army of tens of thousands?

Wonderful, wonderful!

Big brother is indeed big brother, I shouldn’t have misunderstood him.

"General Guan...My lord, this is not the case..."

Sun Qian's eyes twitched slightly and he hurried to explain.

"Report!"

"General Guan, something terrible has happened. Cao Cao's army has arrived more than 20 miles outside the city."
