When Lu Bu led his soldiers to attack Luoyang, Liu Yu did not rely on the city walls for defense, but directly led his men to line up outside the city.

Just as he had said to Liu Bei two days ago, this battle would not only defeat Lu Bu, but also make him completely lose confidence and cut off the idea of ​​the princes of the world coveting the emperor of Luoyang.

When Lu Bu saw Liu Yu taking the initiative to leave the city, he was a little surprised. This time when he came back, he was ready for a decisive battle, but Liu Yu did not give him this opportunity at all.

Liu Yu stood in front of the army, looking at the imposing Lu Bu and the mighty army behind him. He couldn't help but secretly praise him in his heart. The reason why Lu Bu could stand out in this era was not only due to his unparalleled martial arts. The soldiers behind him were also his confidence.

"Wen Hou, I thought you were different from Dong Zhuo and a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty. Who knew you were just like him, with wolfish ambitions and coveting the emperor."

Lu Bu looked at the high-spirited Liu Yu, and a trace of envy flashed in his eyes. No matter how he defended himself now, Liu Yu was in the right position, and the fundamental reason was that the emperor was by his side.

Although the Han Dynasty was in decline and the situations of the princes in the world were different, none of them lacked the courage to openly break away from the Han Dynasty.

"Uncle Liu, I am only here to pay my respects to His Majesty. How can I covet the emperor? Uncle Liu, don't forget that if I hadn't gotten rid of Dong Zhuo for the Han Dynasty, the emperor would probably still be in Dong Zhuo's hands. Uncle Liu wouldn't have the opportunity to talk here."

"Your Majesty has never forgotten the contribution of Marquis Wen in eliminating Dong. If Marquis Wen is willing to serve the Han Dynasty, Your Majesty will certainly give him a high position and generous salary, and reward him continuously."

Naturally, Lu Bu was unwilling to agree to Liu Yu's recruitment. Now that he had arrived in Luoyang City, he was only one step away from reaching the pinnacle of power.

"Uncle Liu, your words are nice to hear. I'm afraid that you are now just like Dong Zhuo was back then, controlling the government and playing with Your Majesty in the palm of your hand."

"My loyalty to the Han Dynasty is evident to all. If you don't believe me, you can put down your sword and surrender to the imperial court. If I were really like Dong Zhuo back then, the Fang Tian Hua Ji in your hand would be enough to kill me."

Lu Bu didn't expect Liu Yu's words to be so sharp. He was silent for a moment and began to change the subject.

"Although Uncle Liu is a relative of the Han Dynasty, he is powerless and I am afraid he cannot shoulder the responsibility of reviving the Han Dynasty. Has Uncle Liu ever thought about abdicating and letting others take over?"

Facing Lü Bu's intention, Liu Yu smiled faintly and asked knowingly: "Think about it, Lord Wen, do you know any great talent in this world who can take on the great task of reviving the Han Dynasty? If there is such a great talent, I will immediately retire to the mountains and live with the green mountains."

"Facing the green mountains and clear waters, reciting poems, raising cranes and playing the zither are also great pleasures in life."

Liu Yu's words made Lu Bu a little confused. Facing the supreme power, he thought Liu Yu would flatly refuse, and he would use this as an excuse to attack him. Unexpectedly, Liu Yu agreed calmly without any hesitation.

"I am loyal to the Han Dynasty, skilled in martial arts, and have elite soldiers under my command. I have experienced hundreds of battles and am unmatched in the world. Who else in the world can take on this responsibility except me?"

"What Lord Wen said makes some sense. You are a skilled martial artist, but you have a fatal weakness: your brain is not good enough. Facts have proven that there is no possibility for you to revive the Han Dynasty."

"Uncle, how dare you insult me?"

"Marquis Wen, please be patient." Liu Yu's face was filled with reminiscence. "After killing Dong Zhuo in Chang'an, I advised Marquis Wen more than once not to use force against Li Jue, Guo Si and others, but to appease them."

"It's a pity that Marquis Wen was arrogant and treated them like grass. He refused to listen to my advice, which led to their attack on Chang'an. If I hadn't dispatched troops from Luoyang in advance, the emperor would have fallen into their hands long ago."

"Marquis Wen knows the personalities of these two people best. If the emperor fell into the hands of these two people, I am afraid that he would not have a moment of peace until now, let alone talk about reviving the Han Dynasty."

Lu Bu blushed. Liu Yu was right. If he had really listened to Liu Yu's advice, it would still be Wang Situ and himself who were in charge of the power of the Han Dynasty now. Unfortunately, there is no medicine for regret in the world, otherwise Lu Bu would have bought a big bottle.

When it comes to talking skills, Liu Yu is definitely the best in this era.

He can make sense of everything, no matter whether it is right or wrong. In addition, he is knowledgeable and has extraordinary insights. Debating with him is a dead end.

Lu Bu felt a little embarrassed, and he began to regret that he had debated with Liu Yu at the beginning instead of launching a direct attack.

"In today's world, we must conquer the world immediately. Your Majesty is well-versed in history and the present. I hope you don't understand this principle. My soldiers are powerful and our Xianzhen Camp is invincible. If they help Your Majesty, we will be able to conquer the world soon."

Lu Bu is very confident. In his eyes, everything else is empty talk. Only a strong fist can be the real truth.

Liu Yu smiled faintly, with a hint of sarcasm in his smile.

"I thought that Lord Wen had been on the battlefield for a long time and should know a lot about military affairs. But what you said just now really surprised me. No army is invincible. A general should choose different tactics and send out different armies at the right time. Only in this way can he have a better chance of winning."

"Uncle Emperor, what you said sounds so good. Do you dare to let your cavalry fight against the Xianzhen Camp head-on?"

"There is no need for cavalry to attack. I only need two thousand infantry to defeat the Xianzhen Camp."

Lu Bu thought he had heard wrongly. With the unparalleled impact force of the Xianzhen Camp, it would be difficult to resist the offensive of the Xianzhen Camp even with ten thousand infantrymen, let alone two thousand.

Once they start charging, they have almost no weaknesses.

"Is your words serious?"

"How can there be any falsehood in the battle between the two armies? If I win this duel, what will Wen Hou do?"

"If my uncle wins, I will lead my troops far away and will never set foot in Luoyang in my lifetime."

"Not enough, far from enough." Liu Yu said calmly, "If I win by chance, Wen Hou will leave one person for me."

"Who does the emperor want?"

"Gao Shun, Gao Boping."

"Okay, I promise you." Lu Bu blurted out without thinking, "If I win, what will happen to my uncle?"

"If Wen Hou wins, I will immediately lead my troops to withdraw from Luoyang, and every blade of grass and every tree in Luoyang City will belong to Wen Hou."

"Does the emperor's uncle keep his word?" There was a hint of fanaticism in Lu Bu's eyes.

"I am willing to swear by the Luo River."

Liu Yu's tone was calm, and there was not much emotion in his expression.

His eyes were not looking at Lu Bu at this time, but at a burly man behind Lu Bu. A hint of surprise clearly appeared on Gao Shun's usually calm face.
