But if Guan Yu truly received help from the Heavenly Deity, wouldn't it mean he stands opposed to the deity?
Realizing this, Cao Cao's expression grew colder, and he said harshly, "Yin Shu speaks nonsense, abandons the army, and dares to spread falsehoods here.
Zhong Kang, kill him for me."
"As you command!"
Xu Chu, clad in heavy armor, stepped forward.
Yin Shu was terrified and begged for mercy, "King of Wei, I am loyal to you, without any deceit!"
"Execute."
Cao Cao replied lightly.
Without a word, Xu Chu drew his blade and struck at Yin Shu's neck, then forcefully decapitated him with a single strike.
The head rolled to the ground, blood staining the yellow sand.
The eyes remained wide open, staring at Cao Cao.
He looked back calmly.
Over the years, he had seen heads roll so often that he was immune to the looks people gave before dying.
Cao Cao rose from his couch and said, "Send someone to investigate Yancheng and Fancheng, then."
