Three Kingdoms: Heir of Wolong, my father-in-law is Guan Gong

Chapter 247: Confuse the enemy and confuse the truth with the truth (46 pursuit)

Xu Huang fired three arrows in a row, fast and hard.

A mouthful is like a cloud, and an arrow is more powerful than an arrow.

Guan Yu knew Xu Huang's archery skills and was prepared before coming.

Or rather.

Ever since he was injured by Le Jin's arrow, Guan Yu had always had a vine shield ready on his saddle.

The moment Xu Huang drew his bow, Guan Yu took out his rattan shield. When he sat down, the horse responded to Guan Yu's wishes and dodged left and right.

After dodging two arrows and blocking one, Guan Yu reined up his horse, turned around, laughed and walked away: "Brother, I will catch up with you another day."

Nanxiang City is Xu Huang's home court. Although Guan Yu regards the defense of other cities as native chickens and tile dogs, he does not regard Xu Huang's troops as native chickens and tile dogs.

You would be stupid to fight the three thousand cavalry deployed by Xu Huang.

The school swordsman comes and goes like the wind.

By the time Xu Gai's three thousand cavalry emerged from the woods, Guan Yu had already led his troops and fled away.

"Yun Chang is more cautious than before."

"He actually prepared a vine shield."

Xu Huang looked at Guan Yu who was walking away and murmured.

But I don't know if this tone is regretful or thankful.

"Father, I didn't expect that Guan Yu also deployed cavalry in the forest." Xu Gai came to Xu Huang in shame and lowered his head to apologize.

Three thousand cavalry fell into the air, and Guan Yu ran away without losing a single soldier.

No matter how you look at it, Xu Gai seems quite incompetent.

Xu Huang did not blame Xu Gai, but taught him earnestly: "Don't belittle yourself. You are facing Guan Yu, who has experienced many battles."

"There is no shame in a failed ambush. Learn from experience and be more cautious in the future."

"Be aware that any small detail on this battlefield may put you in danger."

"If Guan Yu had crossbowmen in the forest, you wouldn't even be able to return to the city."

Xu Gai solemnly said: "I will follow my father's teachings."

There was a pause.

Xu Gai raised the question in his mind again: "Father, I don't understand."

"Why did Guan Yu come all the way to Nanxiang City? Is it just to catch up with my father?"

Xu Huang had already seen through it: "It's nothing more than trying to confuse my judgment so that I can't accurately determine the true intention of the Han army."

"And, I want to take advantage of this opportunity to use a stratagem to make the general suspicious of me."

Xu Gai was surprised: "If this is true, how should my father deal with it?"

Xu Huang's eyes were sharp: "If I send people to Wancheng, they will most likely be intercepted by Guan Yu on the way."

"We can divide the messengers into two groups. One group will go to Wancheng to find the general; the other group will go directly to Luoyang."

"Even if the general really doubts me, as long as your majesty does not doubt me, then I will be in an invincible position in Nanxiang!"

There was a look of admiration in Xu Gai's eyes: "My father is wise!"

Immediately.

Xu Huang prepared two battle reports, one sent to Wancheng and one to Luoyang.

The one that goes to Wancheng is a general battle report, which records that Guan Yu came to Nanxiang City, was attacked and left.

The battle report to Luoyang added Xu Huang's guess about the battle situation in Jingzhou and Guan Yu's guess that Guan Yu might use a divorce plan.

Not only that.

It was Xu Huang's eldest son Xu Gai who went to Luoyang to deliver the battle report.

Xu Huang was using this method of "sending his son as hostage" to show his loyalty to Cao Pi. If Xu Huang surrendered, Cao Pi could kill Xu Gai to vent his anger.

And outside the city.

As Xu Huang expected, the messenger going to Wancheng was directly intercepted by Guan Yu.

After glancing at the contents of the battle report, Guan Yu returned the battle report to the messenger and asked the messenger to leave.

Mi Zhao was puzzled: "Why did the general let Wei Gou's messenger go?" "Since we have intercepted the battle report, shouldn't we write another one based on the notes and send it to Cao Ren?"

Zhuge Wang also looked at Guan Yu with confusion. This was different from what was recorded in the military book.

Guan Yu chuckled: "Based on my understanding of eldest brother, he can also guess that I will look for opportunities to intercept his messenger."

"The content of this battle report is unremarkable, and it is also deliberately signaling to me that the truly valuable battle report is not here."

"I guess the eldest brother should have also sent a battle report to Luoyang to show his loyalty to Cao Pi and prevent me from trying to alienate him."

"It's a pity that brother still has a better move than me."

"If I let the messenger go, the real battle report sent to Wancheng by the elder brother may become a false battle report."

"Cao Ren was originally wary of me, so he only stationed troops in Rangxian, Anzhong and Tuoyang to defend himself, but he did not dare to lead troops to seize Xinye."

"This battle report from eldest brother has arrived in Wancheng, and Cao Ren has to sleep again."

"The art of war is dead, but people are alive. The strategies you use in the future must be different depending on the person."

Mi Zhao and Zhuge Wang suddenly realized this and admired Guan Yu even more.

"General, where are we going now?" Mi Zhao asked.

Guan Yu raised his whip and smiled: "Go to Nanyang County and treat him in his own way."

Mi Zhao and Zhuge Wang looked at each other, a little confused.

Guan Yu didn't explain much and rode his horse: "No need to ask more, just follow me."

"It's been a long time since I rode a horse on a flat road. Cao Ren is not the only one who knows how to play cavalry!"

In the past, Cao Ren followed Cao Cao to attack Xuzhou, relying on Cao Cao to contain Tao Qian from the front, and led the cavalry to wreak havoc in Xuzhou.

From the attack on Feixian, Huaxian, Jimo, and Kaiyang, all the generals sent by Tao Qian to rescue the counties were defeated.

Since then, Cao Ren has been cheating in the use of cavalry, killing whoever he hits, and the offensive Cao Ren was born.

If he hadn't suffered a defeat in Jingzhou, Cao Ren's sharpness could stop the child from crying.

In the use of cavalry, Cao Ren had rare talents and achievements.

Liu Bei also had cavalry in his early days. Since the mess in Xuzhou, Liu Bei's direct cavalry has become less and less.

Guan Yu also changed from a cavalry general to an infantry general, and from an infantry general to a water general.

So much so that when he confronted Cao Ren, he was always harassed and bullied by Cao Ren's cavalry.

Now that he had 500 cavalry in hand and no need to worry about the frontal battlefield, Guan Yu could just recall the feeling of this tactic of inserting himself behind enemy lines.

It can also cause a lot of trouble for Cao Ren.

With Liu Feng's warship on the river, Guan Yu easily obtained supplies.

This is the advantage of having a naval army. Even if there is no city, you can still get supplies, and you don't have to imitate Cao Cao in "preying on the people".

the other side.

Xu Huang's messenger survived the disaster and hurried to Wancheng to deliver Xu Huang's battle report.

With lingering fear, he intercepted and killed Guan Yu on the way and told him the truth.

"Ok?"

Cao Ren was already doubtful about the contents of the battle report. When the messenger spoke, Cao Ren became suspicious instantly: "You said that Guan Yu captured you and then let you go?"

The messenger nodded: "General, I don't know why Guan Yu didn't kill me."

Cao Ren pointed to the battle report: "I didn't ask Guan Yu why he didn't kill you. I just want to know, is this battle report the one Xu Huang gave you?"

The messenger was stunned for a moment: "General, this should be it."

Seeing the messenger's appearance, Cao Ren resisted the urge to draw his sword and ordered: "Cao Tai, interrogate him immediately. If this person has anything to hide, kill him immediately!"

The messenger's face changed drastically: "General, the villain is not guilty! The villain is not guilty!"

Cao Ren waved his hand and asked Cao Tai to drag the messenger down for interrogation.

Looking back at the battle report again, Cao Ren became suspicious again: "As the commander-in-chief of an army, how could Guan Yu go to Nanxiang City?"

"Isn't Guan Yu's goal Wancheng?"
