Chapter 259 Bluffing
Cao Cao looked at Zhao Yun with admiration and said in admiration: "General Zilong is really brave, but he doesn't know why he helps the evildoers do evil?"
Zhao Yun was stunned. Hearing that Cao Cao actually compared Liu Bei to King Zhou, he immediately became angry: "My Lord, your name for benevolence and righteousness is praised by the world. How can I allow you to slander him? I just think you are a gentleman!"
Cao Cao shook his head, indicating that he had seen through Liu Bei's tricks. Finally, Cao Cao asked: "You have fallen into my hands, are you not afraid that I will take your life?"
Hearing this, Zhao Yun didn't even frown: "Kill if you want!"
Seeing Zhao Yun being so tough, Cao Cao knew that Zhao Yun was a loyal man, and nodded with satisfaction. He liked such a loyal general, Guan Yu was like this, and now there was another Zhao Yun.
"If you surrender, I won't kill you!"
Zhao Yun was not surprised by Cao Cao's surrender, but he was loyal to Liu Bei and said firmly: "Rebellious ministers and traitors, Zhao Yun will never surrender to the death!"
Cao Cao was not angry at all when he heard Zhao Yun scolding him as a rebellious minister and traitor. There were many people scolding him like this.

So he asked with a smile: "If I am a treacherous minister and traitor, then Liu Xuande kidnapped tens of thousands of people, causing them to leave their homes and suffer such a catastrophe, and no one knows how to survive. How should I deal with myself?"
Cao Cao said, pointing with his big hand, motioning Zhao Yun to look into the distance: "Look at these people, they could have lived peacefully in their hometowns. If Liu Xuede hadn't done it for his own benefit, how could they have suffered such an unreasonable disaster?"
Following Cao Cao's gaze, Zhao Yun saw countless suffering people and was speechless.
Liu Bei took so many people on the road, it can't be justified morally!
There are many old, weak, sick and disabled among so many people. If they are forced to move, you don't need to guess that many people will have accidents on the way.
Even if these people follow voluntarily, Liu Bei should persuade them to stay.
"These people all voluntarily follow my lord!" Zhao Yun continued to defend Liu Bei.
"Hahaha, right and wrong will be judged by future generations!" Cao Cao stopped arguing, looked at the baby in Tianyu's hands, and asked, "Is this son the son of Liu Bei?"
Zhao Yun suddenly became alert: "What are you going to do?"
Cao Cao chuckled and said domineeringly: "I, Cao Mengde, do not even bother to embarrass a child. Come on!"
A personal guard came over. Cao Cao pointed at little Adou and said, "Go and return this boy to Liu Xuande!"
This was a very dangerous errand, but the guard didn't even frown. He immediately hugged little Adou, got on his horse, and chased Liu Bei.
When Zhao Yun saw this, he was stunned and looked at Cao Cao in disbelief.
Cao Cao laughed and said, "Since General Zilong is unwilling to surrender, we will not force him to surrender. General Zilong will stay in peace for the time being until General Liu Xuande is captured and reunited with your master and servant. If Zilong wants to intercede for Liu Xuande in the future, , for the sake of General Zilongβs loyalty, a certain society will spare Liu Xuandeβs life!β
After speaking, Cao Cao ignored Zhao Yun's ugly face, waved his hand, and ordered his people to take Zhao Yun down to take good care of him.
As for Zhao Yun's two arms that were removed by Tianyu, there will naturally be military doctors who can reattach them for Zhao Yun.
Many people present saw through Lao Cao's true intentions, and Tianyu was one of them.
At this moment, Tianyu had to admire that Lao Cao could become a generational hero. His scheming skills were indeed extraordinary!
They sent someone to return Adou to Cao Cao. On the surface, Old Cao seemed to be magnanimous, but in fact, this blocked Zhao Yun's way back.
Liu Bei knew that Zhao Yun came to pick up his son. Now that his son has gone back, Zhao Yun stayed in Cao's camp. What will Liu Bei think then?
Even if Cao Cao lets Zhao Yun go back at this time, I am afraid that Liu Bei will not dare to use Zhao Yun again in a short time!
This is Lao Cao's divorce plan, simple and effective!
Then the army continued to move forward, and when it reached Dangyang Bridge, the scout horse in front suddenly came to report that there seemed to be an ambush ahead.
Cao Cao and many generals went to Dangyang Bridge, and Tianyu was among them.
I saw an extremely rugged-looking man at the opposite end of the bridge, with an upside-down beard and wide eyes. He was holding a snake spear eight feet in his hand, standing on the bridge single-handedly.
In the woods behind the bridge, the dust was flying, and there seemed to be thousands of troops galloping.
Everyone was unsure for a moment whether there was an ambush here.
When the strong man saw Cao Jun, he immediately shouted: "Zhang Yide from Yan is here, who dares to fight to the death with me?"
The sound was like thunder and deafening. Seeing Zhang Fei's power, the timid Cao Jun was trembling with fear, but Tianyu's eyes were bright.
"My lord, Zhang Yide from Yan is a general under Liu Thief, be careful of fraud!" Cao Hong reminded him quickly.
Cao Cao squinted his eyes, looked at the impressive Zhang Fei, and said: "I once heard Yun Chang said that Zhang Fei and Zhang Yide were the first generals among millions of troops, just like picking something out of a bag. When I see it today, it is indeed worthy of the reputation!"
What Cao Cao said was a long time ago, when Cao Cao's troops were trapped in Mapo, Guan Yu killed Yan Liang and broke the siege of Baimapo.
Yan Liang was a fierce general under Yuan Shao. After Guan Yu killed Yan Liang, Cao Cao celebrated his victory.
Guan Yu said, "This is nothing. My brother Zhang Fei, it is child's play to take the enemy general's head among thousands of troops. I am far behind him."
From then on, Cao Cao remembered the name Zhang Fei, and now he was a little scared when he saw Zhang Fei.
At this time, Zhang Fei shouted again: "I am Zhang Yide from Yan! Who dares to fight to the death with me?"
Cao Cao felt even more timid. When the other generals saw the smoke and dust billowing in the woods behind Zhang Fei, as if there were thousands of troops ambushing them, they did not dare to attack rashly.
Seeing this scene, Tianyu laughed at the time. He was familiar with the history of the Three Kingdoms, and of course he knew this plot.
What Zhang Fei used was bluffing and using tactics of suspicion. There was no big army behind Zhang Fei!
There were only about twenty people, who brought a large number of branches tied to the tail of the horse, and then let the horse run. The branches dragged the ground, causing smoke and dust to billow, making it look like thousands of troops galloping.
Seeing that no one dared to fight, Tianyu stood up.
"My lord, Zhang Fei, is nothing to be afraid of. I am willing to take care of my lord's worries and capture this building!"
"oh?"
Cao Cao was surprised at first, then laughed and looked at Tianyu with admiration.
Xia Houyuan, who was standing next to him, suddenly said: "Tianyu, don't rely on us. Look, there seems to be a lot of troops ambushing behind Zhang Fei. Don't rush in easily!"
When Cao Cao heard this, he nodded and said, "What the talented man said makes sense!"
Tianyu smiled and said: "My lord, and General Xiahou, don't worry too much. I suspect that Zhang Fei is bluffing. There is no army at all in the woods. The Liu bandits only have five thousand soldiers. If there is still a large army, why not in Dangyang County?" Ambush?"
Upon hearing this, everyone felt that what Tianyu said made some sense.
Tianyu smiled again and said: "Even if there is an ambush, the general is not afraid. If you can't defeat the general, you can still leave. If I want to leave, Zhang Fei can't stop me!"
Seeing Tianyu's confident look, Cao Cao nodded and said, "You are my tiger general. Be careful in everything. If you can't do anything, come back immediately!"
"Don't worry, my lord, I will go and capture Zhang Yide right now!"
After finishing his words, Tianyu walked out and came directly to the bridge.
Zhang Fei was about to continue calling for formation when he saw a young general walking out of Cao Jun's formation and was slightly startled.
"Could it be that Cao's army has no one, so he sent a young boy like you?" Zhang Fei deliberately mocked.
He actually felt guilty. If Cao Cao was not fooled, he would never be able to stop Cao Cao's army with just one charge. Therefore, the more guilty Zhang Fei felt, the tougher Zhang Fei had to act.
Tianyu smiled and said: "Zhang Yide, my little baby is enough to deal with you!"
Hearing this, Zhang Fei was so angry that he shouted: "What a thief, how dare you bully me? Take your life!"
As soon as the words fell, Zhang Fei immediately charged towards Tianyu!
Anyone who has read the original work knows that Zhang Fei has a very bad temper. In the end, because of his character, his head was cut off by his subordinates while he was sleeping.
If Zhao Yun were here at this moment, he would definitely remind Zhang Fei loudly and tell him to run away!
Because in Zhao Yun's eyes, Tianyu is a personal monster!
The selection system has strengthened the strength of these generals. It is based on the strength of the bronze-level selectors. People like Tianyu who have received super god evaluations time and time again have no room for selection!
So using Tianyu's strength to deal with these generals is bullying them.
