Reborn in the Three Kingdoms, I stole Liu Bei's uncle

Things turned out just as Liu Yu had expected.

In a very short time, the news that the Western Liang army was advancing towards Chang'an was heard by scouts. Judging from the source of the news, this time the Western Liang army had as many as 100,000 people.

The slogan they shouted was very clear: to avenge Dong Zhuo.

In the propaganda of the Xiliang Army, Dong Zhuo devoted himself to the country, but was framed by traitors and died in Chang'an City. This was a great injustice! The Xiliang Army would certainly not stand idly by in such an injustice.

Wang Yun was somewhat surprised when he heard the news. Although he had heard Liu Yu's judgment on the movements of the Xiliang Army, he had not expected that this army would gather so much combat power in such a short time.

He hurriedly sent someone to summon Liu Yu and Lu Bu to his presence.

He told the two of them about the current situation.

Liu Yu's eyes showed a trace of solemnity. Although he guessed that Li Ru would capture Chang'an, he did not expect that he would act so quickly.

After Dong Zhuo's death, the morale of the Xiliang soldiers would inevitably be frustrated. According to Liu Yu's speculation, Li Ru would definitely set aside some time to allow the Xiliang army to restore their morale.

But from the information we have received so far, it seems that Li Ru has ignored them during this period. Liu Yu knew that if Li Ru dared to lead his troops to capture Chang'an so quickly, the morale of the Xiliang army must have been restored.

Liu Yu just didn't know what method Li Ru used to restore the fighting spirit of tens of thousands of people with low morale.

Lu Bu seemed very relaxed. His philosophy was simple: if someone comes to attack, just fight. If someone comes to attack, just fight.

He even thought that this was not a question that required too much thought.

In his hand he held the awe-inspiring Fang Tian Hua Ji, and under his crotch he rode the Red Hare that could travel a thousand miles a day, and behind him followed countless battle-hardened, fearsome warriors. Even if the enemy had a hundred thousand men, what was there for him to fear?

"Don't worry, my lord. I think the Xiliang army is just like chickens and dogs. Even if there are 100,000 of them, in my eyes, they are completely vulnerable."

Lu Bu's words instantly gave Wang Yun a sense of heroism.

"With Fengxian by my side, I have nothing to worry about."

The corner of Lu Bu's mouth twitched slightly. He had heard Wang Yun's words countless times from another person. Now, when he heard these words again, he always felt that they were a little strange.

"General Lu, Li Ru is treacherous and must be guarded against." Liu Yu was a little worried and reminded him.

"My dear nephew, you are always very smart. Can you imagine what strategy they will use?"

Liu Yu pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "It is hard to guess at the moment. Since Li Ru dared to attack Chang'an, he must have been fully prepared. If we win easily when fighting against them, the general must be very cautious."

"I've taken note of what the Emperor's uncle said."

After Lu Bu left, a hint of pride flashed in his eyes, which made Liu Yu feel uneasy.

He walked out of the room slowly, his mind was blank. After a long time, he came to his senses and muttered to himself.

"If Lu Bu underestimates the enemy, Chang'an will be in danger!"

Not long after Lu Bu led his troops out, news of victory spread back to Chang'an. Unlike the excitement of the civil and military officials in the court, Liu Yu seemed a little worried.

While Liu Yu was thinking, Lu Bu's series of victories made Liu Yu completely unable to sit still.

He hurriedly found Wang Yun and carefully read the battle report sent by Lu Bu.

As Liu Yu summarized the news in the battle report, the solemn expression on his face became more and more serious.

"My dear nephew, is there anything unusual in these battle reports?"

"Uncle, from the battle report, although the Xiliang Army was defeated, it did not lose its main force. Without losing its main force, it was repeatedly defeated. This is obviously Li Ru's strategy to lure the enemy."

The excitement on Wang Yun's face was completely wiped away by these words.

"A plan to lure the enemy in? Do you have any evidence for what I am saying, nephew?"

"Li Ru's Xiliang army has 100,000 soldiers. When they encounter a strong opponent like General Lu, they will definitely prepare their main forces to fight. However, the number of soldiers sent out each time is only 10,000, which is obviously not in line with common sense. In addition, after each victory, there are a lot of baggage and supplies, but few heads. Based on these alone, my nephew can make a conclusion."

After hearing Liu Yu's analysis, Wang Yun gradually calmed down. Many years ago, he had led troops to quell a rebellion, so he was not ignorant of military tactics.

"They lured Fengxian, and they must have waited for his morale to drop, and then fought him. Fengxian is brave, and even if his morale is dampened, he will not necessarily be defeated."

Liu Yu shook his head and walked to the sand table.

"We don't need to defeat General Lu. We just need to lure him into the valley, use the soldiers to drag Lu Bu out, and then send soldiers from the side roads on both sides to go straight to Chang'an. How should you respond?"

As Liu Yu's fingers slid gently, two routes to attack Chang'an appeared on the sand table.

"From these two fronts, it will only take two days to reach the city of Chang'an."

Wang Yun looked at the two clear lines and a trace of panic appeared on his face.

"Nephew, what you mean is that Li Ru's goal from the beginning was Chang'an City?"

“From the current situation, it is true.”

"I will send someone to recall Fengxian and ask him to withdraw his troops immediately and protect Chang'an City."

Liu Yu picked up the battle report and silently calculated the time.

"It's too late. As I expected, the Xiliang army is not far from Chang'an now."

While Wang Yun was half-believing and half-doubting, a soldier came hurriedly to report.

"Report to the Minister of War, a large number of Xiliang troops have been spotted a few miles away."

"How many people are there?" Wang Yun asked with a hint of panic.

"It was so dark, there were tens of thousands of people at least."

Upon hearing the news, Wang Yun's face was filled with panic. After a long while, he forced himself to calm down.

"Order all soldiers to go to the city gates to defend against the enemy."

"Shi Bo, Chang'an City can no longer be defended. The most urgent task is to quickly take His Majesty and withdraw from Chang'an City from the other side."

"My dear nephew, why do you say that? Chang'an City currently has more than 10,000 elite soldiers, and the walls are high and the trenches are deep. Even if the Xiliang army came here, it would be difficult for them to break through the city in a short time."

Wang Yun concluded that there was no problem in theory.

But this only exists in theory. History has proven countless times that the strongest fortresses in the world are always breached from the inside.

This was the case with Dong Zhuo’s fortress, and it is the same with Chang’an City today.

"There are many soldiers from Xiliang in the army guarding Chang'an City. If this situation hadn't happened, they wouldn't have made any unusual moves. If the Xiliang army were to surround the city, someone among them would definitely react."

Among the defenders of Chang'an City today, soldiers from Xiliang account for a considerable proportion. In the battle to defeat Dong Zhuo this time, many soldiers from Xiliang surrendered, and Wang Yun naturally incorporated them into the defenders of Chang'an City.

If anyone among them defected to the enemy, Wang Yun would not be able to react at all.

"My dear nephew, I will never allow you to leave Chang'an."
