Lu Li said calmly, "There is a way, but we still need Wen Ruo's cooperation!"
Xun Yu immediately became interested. The Xun family had been living in fear these past few days, worried that the Yellow Turban Army would attack Yingyin. Now that Lu Li said there was a solution, how could they not be excited?
So he quickly asked, "What do you want me to do, sir? Just tell me what you need, and I, Xun Yu, will not refuse if it is within my power!"
Lu Li smiled and said, "It's actually very simple. Your Xun family only needs to..."
Then, Lu Li explained his plan to Xun Yu.
"Sir, you are truly a brilliant strategist! This plan is excellent," Xun Yu exclaimed.
Upon hearing this, Xun Yu was overjoyed. It was just a matter of paying some money and provisions, and the Xun family had no shortage of money and provisions.
Cao Cao had no idea what Lu Li had said to Xun Yu that could make Xun Yu so excited.
However, he trusted Lu Li, after all, the strength of Guigu was beyond doubt.
"Wenruo, let me introduce you. This man is Cao Cao, Cao Mengde, the Northern Commandant of Luoyang," Lu Li introduced to Xun Yu.
Xun Yu had already noticed Cao Cao. Seeing Lu Li introducing Cao Cao, he quickly stood up, cupped his hands, and said, "So it's Young Master Cao! My apologies!"
"Wenruo, you don't need to be so polite."
Cao Cao responded with a fist salute. He had also noticed Xun Yu's unusual qualities; Xun Yu's speech and manners were refined and he appeared very composed.
"In that case, I'll take my leave." After saying that, Lu Li prepared to leave.
Xun Yu called out to him, "Sir, wait a moment!"
"Oh? Is there anything else?" Lu Li stopped and turned around to ask.
Xun Yu smiled and replied, "Mr. Lu, I would like to ask you what the success rate of this plan is?"
Lu Li replied, "About 80%!"
Xun Yu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good. I hope we can get through this crisis smoothly!"
A week later, Gao Shun and Dian Wei arrived at the designated location mentioned by Lu Li to wait.
This time, Gao Shun's seven hundred men were fully armed, and they were no longer the reckless bandits they once were.
They wore heavy armor, their sharpness concealed, their eyes piercing like knives, and they exuded an aura of iron and blood.
Dian Wei's face was fierce, and his eyes flashed with bloodlust.
"Dian Wei, why hasn't your lord arrived yet?" Gao Shun asked with some concern.
Dian Wei chuckled and said, "I don't know either, but my master told me to wait here!"
The two waited there for a long time when suddenly the sound of galloping hooves came from afar.
"They're here!"
Gao Shun looked up and, sure enough, saw two fast horses galloping towards him.
"My lord, you've finally arrived!"
Gao Shun breathed a sigh of relief and quickly went to meet him.
Dian Wei followed closely behind.
Soon, the two arrived in front of Gao Shun and Dian Wei.
"Master!"
"Greetings, my lord!"
Gao Shun and Dian Wei immediately knelt down and paid their respects.
Lu Li dismounted, helped the two up, and smiled, "You've worked hard. Something came up and I was held up."
When Cao Cao saw Gao Shun and his seven hundred warriors from behind, he immediately gasped in astonishment, utterly shocked.
He had assumed that this army was merely the guards protecting Guigu Mountain, but he never expected it to be a well-trained force.
Although there were only seven hundred people, the aura they exuded was extraordinary.
Cao Cao was certain that this army was an elite force, not a rabble.
"How...how were they trained?" Cao Cao couldn't help but ask.
Lu Li said casually, "Gao Shun has been training them for almost two years!"
Two years? Cao Cao was taken aback. No wonder this army looked so orderly and solemn, unlike ordinary mountain guards. Moreover, they were elite soldiers he had never seen before!
Cao Cao sighed inwardly: This world is indeed full of hidden talents!
First came Dian Wei, then Gao Shun; both were invaluable generals.
Cao Cao then asked, "Sir, do they have names?"
He hadn't thought about this question yet, but since Cao Cao had brought it up, Lu Li smiled and said, "Let's call it the Trapped Camp!"
"The will to charge into battle is one of certain death!"
"The Trapped Camp, good, let's call it the Trapped Camp!"
Cao Cao felt that this name was perfect for the Trapped Camp.
These seven hundred men were all handpicked warriors, each one brave and skilled in battle, and utterly loyal to their lord.
Such an army would be an elite force in any dynasty, capable of withstanding thousands of troops.
Gao Shun muttered to himself, "The will to charge into battle... even at the cost of life!"
He seemed to understand what his lord wanted to do with such an army.
He felt his blood boiling, and he seemed to see himself leading the elite troops across the world.
"Let's go! Follow me to Runan County!"
Lu Li shouted and headed straight for Runan County.
The seven hundred elite troops followed Lu Li at breakneck speed.
Clad in heavy armor, with longbows on their backs and spears in their hands, their steps were steady and resolute, giving off an immense sense of pressure, like a torrent of steel.
Along the way, Lu Li encountered several scattered Yellow Turban soldiers, all of whom were easily wiped out by the Trapped Camp. He made no effort to advance and his journey was unimpeded.
When Cao Cao saw Lu Li's elite elite troops, his belief in victory was strengthened, and he admired them immensely.
They traveled very quickly, arriving in Yuzhou in just half a day.
"Report!"
"My lord, your subordinates have discovered a large number of Yellow Turban soldiers gathering outside Runan County!" a scout reported.
Cao Cao frowned slightly and said, "What are these Yellow Turban soldiers doing gathered outside the city?"
