Chapter 721

As he spoke, Xun Yu handed over a pass permit.

"This..."

Upon hearing this, Especially Guan Yu Yu's expression froze, and an infinite sense of gratitude toward Cao Cao surged in his heart.

"Especially Guan Yu Yu is deeply grateful to Lord Cao! And to Mr. Wenruo!"

Especially Guan Yu Yu hurriedly dismounted, carefully took the pass permit from Xun Yu's hand, and said gratefully.

He had not expected Cao Cao to be so meticulous and considerate.

He was owing Cao Cao more and more.

Originally, Especially Guan Yu Yu had even harbored the thought of committing suicide to follow his eldest brother in death once he had avenged him.

But considering he still had to raise his eldest brother's two unborn children, he hesitated.

Now, with Cao Cao treating him this way, he hesitated even more.

He even began to entertain the idea of truly submitting to Cao Cao and serving him after avenging his brother.

This man was worth such a gesture.

Seeking flowers.

"Hehe!"

Sensing the change in Especially Guan Yu Yu's attitude, Xun Yu gave a faint smile. "Not at all! General Yunchang is being too serious! These are all things I should have done!"

"If the General wishes to offer thanks, he should do so to the Lord in person! Everything was ordered by the Lord!"

"There is no time to lose, so I shall not delay the General any further. Please depart early! You should be able to reach the Guandu camp before dark today!"

Xun Yu felt that Cao Cao's move had been a steady one.

Especially Guan Yu Yu should be winnable.

This was of great significance to Cao Cao.

In the future, when Cao Cao faced Su Xuan, his odds of winning might increase by half a point.

Hmm! Only half a point, perhaps even less; there was nothing more to it.

Su Xuan was simply too powerful.

Of course, Xun Yu was well aware that there must be some of Cao Cao's less-than-honorable schemes involved in this.

Xun Yu even maliciously speculated that Liu Bei's death might well have been Cao Cao's handiwork.

After all, Liu Bei's death had been too abrupt.

Yuan Shao was not such a brainless person; it was unlikely he would have truly killed Liu Bei on a whim.

This brought little benefit to Yuan Shao.

Yet Yuan Shao had killed him without hesitation.

Even Xu You had not stopped him, which was clearly abnormal.

There was someone behind the scenes pushing for Liu Bei to die.

If this person could not be Yuan Shao, then it could only be Cao Cao.

From the perspective of the primary beneficiary, this matter was most advantageous to Cao Cao.

Xun Yu also knew about the matter of Liu Bei's so-called two wives and their children.

In fact, he had even participated in this plan.

Thus, Cao Cao had gained yet another reason to want Liu Bei dead.

"Alas! My Lord! My Lord! I should have stopped you from carrying out this plan from the very beginning!"

"Such a plan is far too insidious!"

"Although Liu Bei is dead now, and it seems most loopholes have been plugged, it cannot actually deceive the truly clever or those with ulterior motives!"

"Moreover, in the future, when those two so-called children of Liu Bei grow up and Especially Guan Yu Yu discovers they do not resemble Liu Bei, but rather you, everything will still inevitably be exposed."

"Unless..."
