Chapter 707

As for pledging total loyalty to Yuan Shao?

Don't joke, that is impossible!

A real man born between heaven and earth, how can he live long under another?

He, Liu Bei, is a man destined to restore the Han Dynasty for the third time.

"Good!!"

Yuan Shao slammed the table upon hearing this and shouted loudly: "Brother Xuande! As long as you can truly recruit Guan Yu and make him serve me, I will not only stop pursuing your previous faults, but I will also reward you and Guan Yu handsomely."

"I will arrange it right now to find an opportunity for you to meet with Guan Yu on the other side. Remember to seize the chance!"

Yuan Shao was very excited at this moment; he seemed to have already seen himself gaining the divine general Guan Yu, while Cao Cao lost him, was beaten back step by step, and ultimately met his defeat.

"Understood!"

Liu Bei immediately bowed and accepted.

At the same time, he let out a long sigh of relief in his heart.

This hurdle had finally been cleared.

"Are you really my second brother? If you are, why did you surrender to that Cao Cao and serve him?"

"Do you know you almost got me killed?"

Liu Bei thought with some resentment in his heart.

If that man really was his second brother Guan Yu, he could not understand what kind of trick Cao Cao had used to make Guan Yu work for him.

Based on his understanding of Guan Yu, he could not and should not be the type of person to betray his trust and defect to the enemy.

There must be some misunderstanding he was unaware of.

It was mainly because Cao Cao was too treacherous, and his second brother was too upright; it was not impossible that he had been deceived by Cao Cao!

Several days later, Yuan Shao created an opportunity for Liu Bei, allowing him to see Guan Yu from afar.

At the same time, Guan Yu also saw Liu Bei.

With just one glance, Liu Bei confirmed that the man opposite was indeed his second brother.

Likewise, Guan Yu also confirmed that the man opposite was his eldest brother, Liu Bei.

However, the battlefield was chaotic, and the distance between them was too great, so they could not meet directly on the battlefield for the time being.

But the stone had already been cast, destined to stir up huge waves.

"Eldest brother is actually under Yuan Shao's command? As expected, after he fled Xuzhou, he went to Yuan Shao's side?"

Guan Yu realized in his heart, but the next moment his expression changed drastically: "Not good! I killed Yuan Shao's generals Yan Liang and Wen Chou for Cao Cao; Yuan Shao cannot possibly not recognize me!"

"In that case, won't Yuan Shao hate me to the bone and implicate my eldest brother?"

"I actually put my eldest brother in danger?"

"Come to think of it, seeing my eldest brother on the battlefield today was very strange;"

"Moreover, my eldest brother's eyes at that time were telling me his situation; my eldest brother wants me to go to Yuan Shao's side!"

Thinking of this, Guan Yu frowned in a dilemma.

It was not that he was reluctant to leave the wealth and glory at Cao Cao's side;

Cao Cao had treated him extremely well during this time, sending whatever good things he had to him, but he had basically accepted nothing except for some food and drink! He was just worried that when he had to leave one day, he would feel guilty toward Cao Cao!

But he could not leave Cao Cao's side directly right now!

If he left directly, what would happen to his two sisters-in-law, whose bellies were gradually growing?

They were both several months pregnant; how could they endure a long journey?

Their bodies would not be able to take it, and what if it affected the fetuses in their wombs?

"It seems my eldest brother doesn't know yet that the two sisters-in-law are carrying his flesh and blood! This is going to be troublesome!"

"No, I must find a way to send a letter to my eldest brother to explain the situation!"

"Besides, it is not appropriate for me to fight for Cao Cao anymore, otherwise, my eldest brother might be harmed by Yuan Shao!"

These thoughts flashed through Guan Yu's mind. He did not withdraw immediately, but waited until the skirmish was over and both sides sounded the retreat before he withdrew.

Upon returning, he first went back to his tent, wrote a letter to Liu Bei, sealed it, and then found Cao Cao to state his purpose.

"Lord Cao! I wonder if you still remember our agreement from the past? Is it still valid?"

"Sigh!"

Cao Cao could not help but sigh as he looked at Guan Yu.

He had already heard that Liu Bei had appeared on the battlefield and was on Yuan Shao's side.

He understood that he was afraid he could no longer keep Guan Yu.

Even though he had worked so hard these past few months and treated Guan Yu so well, he still could not completely keep his heart.

Cao Cao felt depressed!

But he was unwilling to break his promise directly.

It was not that he was truly that trustworthy, but mainly because the person in question was Guan Yu!

He truly loved Guan Yu to the core and did not even want to disappoint him.

"It seems Yunchang has seen your eldest brother, Liu Bei!"

"Are you wanting to leave me now?"

Guan Yu's expression stalled slightly upon hearing this, and he bit the bullet and said: "It seems Lord Cao already knows!"

"I will not hide it from you! That is indeed the case!"

"May I ask Lord Cao, is the previous promise still valid?"

"Valid! Naturally, it is still valid!"

Cao Cao waved his hand helplessly and said: "Yunchang, you know me! I, Cao Cao, do not consider myself a good person, but I am willing to keep my promises! Especially when facing you!"

"Whatever you want, I am willing to give! Can you not go?"

These words made Guan Yu feel even more conflicted!

Cao Cao was truly the person who treated him best, other than his eldest brother!

No! In some ways, even his eldest brother did not treat him as well as Cao Cao did!

But a man cannot stand without trust; he met his eldest brother first and swore an oath with him, so he could not be treacherous.

However, he really could not leave right now!
