Chapter 282: Buddhism Cao Cao throws dirty water, sends troops to Xizhou, Shu Road is a natural barrier The reputation of the Xizhou Iron Cavalry is growing day by is not a bad thing for the current dynasty. After all, Liu Bei has declared that he represents the dynasty. But this is the case for the rest of the dynasty. Especially Cao Cao. After receiving help from Buddhism, Cao Cao's power was substantially strengthened. What he wants now is to hold the emperor hostage to control the princes and proclaim himself emperor. However, the appearance of the Xizhou Iron Cavalry put a hindrance on his dream. More importantly, there was Buddhism behind Cao Cao, who could not bear to see the Xizhou cavalry continue to grow stronger. They planned to let Cao Cao wipe out the Xizhou Iron Cavalry. …… At the same time, Jiangdong.

Sun Quan has his own power here. He could see how powerful Cao Cao was, and was afraid that he would be targeted. Sun Quan thought of pretending to surrender. After all, Jiangdong is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and there is a river between them. It is not certain that Cao Cao’s troops can quickly capture Jiangdong. Therefore, before becoming feared by Cao Cao, they tried their best to improve their own strength. At this time, Zhou Yu and others joined Jiangdong, and Jiangdong's strength continued to increase. Sun Quan has always hidden his strength. In addition, Buddhism has not yet been introduced to the Jiangdong region, otherwise all their efforts would be in vain. …… Xizhou. Ascetic monks entered here to spread Buddhism, but the cavalry did not allow them to enter. It's not just Ma Chao and others, but other people in the Iron Cavalry also think that Buddhism is just a cover. After they entered the Central Plains, they brought not peace but more disasters. Buddhism grew in disasters. Buddhism cannot develop here, so the Iron Cavalry must be eliminated. But they didn't know the identities of Guan Yu and others. In order to give Cao Cao a legitimate reason to attack. Buddhism threw dirty water on the Xizhou Iron Cavalry.

Cao Cao went on an expedition to take the Xizhou region into his own hands. Dian Wei, Yu Jin and others led the troops forward. At this time, the cavalry had grown stronger. After learning that Cao Cao was going to take action against the Iron Cavalry. Guan Yu and Liu Bei were very angry. "They actually threw dirty water on the Iron Cavalry. They have absolutely no bottom line." Guan Yu slammed the table hard. Ma Chao told them. "Buddhism and Cao Cao are colluding, so they must have some ulterior motive." "The Iron Cavalry has already hindered their plans. I'm afraid it will be difficult for us going forward." Zhang Fei was not afraid and took a step forward. "We have a clear conscience. Who the hell does Cao Cao think he is to dare to attack us?" Zhao Yun also stood up. "That's right! The Iron Cavalry is not a pushover. Let them pay the price." When they were ready to fight, Liu Bei did not agree. "Let's evacuate this place." Hearing that Liu Bei was going to retreat, Guan Yu and his men turned their attention to Liu Bei. "Why, second brother." Zhang Fei stared at Liu Bei in disbelief and questioned. Liu Bei looked at everyone and told them. "War will bring disaster to the people here. Why did we create the Iron Cavalry?" Ma Chao could not agree. "If that's the case, will they let us go if we retreat?" Liu Bei shook his head. Guan Yu asked everyone to be quiet. "Let the commander continue." Liu Bei took out the sand table. "Look, this is the place I explored recently."

After Liu Bei became the commander, he kept exploring the surrounding environment. Now, Ma Chao and his men saw Liu Bei's preparations. There was an extra space on the sand table with two words written on it. "Shu Road?" When they saw the Shu Road, Ma Chao and the others were all surprised. "This?" Seeing that Zhao Yun and the others no longer expressed their opinions. Liu Bei explained to them. "Shu Road is a place I recently explored." "The road here is difficult to pass, but once you enter, you can use the mountains, rivers and cliffs as natural barriers." "With this place as a base, we can be invincible." "In addition, the Iron Cavalry has just been developed. If we confront Cao Cao head-on, regardless of whether we win or lose, we will suffer a great loss." Liu Bei's analysis was well-organized, so everyone naturally listened to it. Guan Yu gave an affirmative response. "What the commander said is correct. We can rely on this place as a natural barrier." Liu Bei could see that when Guan Yu spoke, Ma Chao and the others would listen. Although he felt it was a little strange, he didn't think much about it. "If we have decided, we should leave quickly, otherwise Cao Cao's army will arrive soon." Huang Zhong gave advice. "go!" After everyone made their decision, they withdrew from Xizhou and headed for Shu Road. After the building was deserted, Cao Cao's army appeared in the Xizhou area. They actually didn't see any trace of the cavalry, which puzzled Dian Wei and others. "The Iron Cavalry has disappeared?" Dian Wei was surprised and continued to investigate the situation, but he could not find any trace of the cavalry in the town. Even the common people here disappeared. “Where can they go?” Along the way, Cao Cao's army did not see any trace of cavalry, so they could only assume that Liu Bei and his men continued to move westward. "Let's go! Keep heading west to see where they went."

Dian Wei is a fierce general with powerful fighting force. He does not want to return empty-handed on this trip. They continued to move forward. I was surprised to see the mountains. “The terrain here is surprisingly complex.” Based on his experience in leading troops, Dian Wei knew that there might be many dangers in these mountains, and it might be dangerous to enter rashly. "General, traces were found on the ground." Soldiers from the vanguard came to report the situation. I heard that Guan Yu and his men had entered the Shu Road. Dian Wei looked at him with hatred. Our own cavalry would not have any advantage if they entered here. The reason I came here this time was to break the arrogance of the Iron Cavalry. Now it seems that it is no longer possible. Yu Jin didn't intend to give up just like that. "General Dian Wei, we came very quickly this time. The cavalry cannot move quickly. Plus, there are still civilians here, so we can catch up with them." "Let me go and kill them." Yu Jin was the infantry commander, and he asked for battle with two swords in hand. Dian Wei put down the meteor hammer and looked at the Shu Road. "The terrain here is complicated. Are you sure you want to enter?" Yu Jin nodded. "No problem, General." After hearing this, Dian Wei allowed him to enter Shu Road. Guan Yu and his men were indeed not moving very fast, and when they retreated, the people followed them. Now they marched slowly. However, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were at the rear of the army. At the same time, there were one hundred red riders following. They are armed with bows and crossbows, and if Cao's army really appears, they can act quickly. Yu Jin led the infantry and came quickly. Guan Yu met them as soon as possible.

Because it was a mountain, Guan Yu and his men were on high ground. When they saw Yu Jin appear, Guan Yu ordered the Red Cavalry to shoot without saying a word. The crossbows were shot, and Yu Jin saw that the situation was not good, so he immediately ordered the soldiers behind him to disperse and hide in the bushes nearby. He wanted to approach Guan Yu from both sides and kill them. A rustling sound was heard. However, screams were soon heard. An ambush had already been set up in the surrounding grass. After the soldiers led by Yu Jin entered. He was stabbed by a wooden thorn coated with poison on the ground. (End of this chapter)
