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

Lu Bu was like an arrow shot from a bow, taking the lead and being invincible. He quickly carved out a bloody path through the encirclement.

The Xiliang Iron Cavalry followed behind Lu Bu, waving their weapons continuously and moving quickly outward like a long dragon.

Although the soldiers of the Guandong coalition tried their best to stop them, everyone with a discerning eye knew that as long as Lu Bu could not be trapped, no one could stop the Xiliang cavalry from breaking out of the siege.

Gao Shun followed at the end of the team, wielding his weapon to protect the rear of the team. They quickly broke out of the encirclement.

Liu Yu didn't come to his senses until Lu Bu broke out of the encirclement. The scene just now was too dangerous. He sent Guan, Zhang, and Zhao to intercept Lu Bu on the periphery. Chen Dao was in Luoyang, with only Liu Bei and Wang Yue by his side.

Liu Bei was steady and responsible, so he had some chance of winning against ordinary generals. However, if he were to fight against the famous generals of this period, the result would be like Confucius moving house - he would lose everything (in books).

Wang Yue was a man of high martial arts skills, but he was somewhat unreliable. He held a wine gourd in his hand and was drunk all day long. Sometimes, Liu Yu would not see him for days.

As for whether he could show up in time every time he was in danger, Liu Yu could only hope that he didn't drink too much and the alcohol was not strong enough.

After experiencing this incident, Liu Yu completely understood that what was said in the books about taking the head of a general in the midst of thousands of troops was definitely not groundless.

Thinking about this scene, Liu Yu still felt a chill down his spine. He still didn't have enough understanding of the generals of this period, otherwise he would have stayed away from them long ago and would not have shown off in front of Lu Bu.

There are still not enough people around me. When I have time, I need to find some powerful generals to guard me. Otherwise, the situation like today might happen again. If I am not careful, I might lose my life, and then it will be all over.

Cao Cao walked over and looked at Liu Yu who was still standing still, and was convinced.

"Uncle Emperor remained unmoved in the face of Lü Bu's Fang Tian Hua Ji. This courage is rare in the world. Cao really admires him."

I want to move too, but my legs are just too weak.

"Meng De, you don't have to do this. Lu Bu is brave, and Yu An is afraid of him. He just doesn't want to lose his momentum in front of the soldiers. Meng De dares to stand up and fight Lu Bu, which is really brave. In terms of courage, Yu is far inferior to you."

Liu Yu's sincere words turned into humble words in Cao Cao's eyes.

Seeing that Liu Yu was so brave and yet did not boast about himself, Cao Cao could not help but admire him even more.

When Yuan Shao saw that Lu Bu was defeated, he straightened his appearance and walked over with great grace. From the calm look on his face, Liu Yu knew that he did not take what had just happened to heart.

Just for Yuan Shao's indifference, Liu Yu had to secretly admire him in his heart. This man was as thick-skinned as himself.

"Uncle, was the swordsman just now Wang Yue, the general who served under the late emperor?" Yuan Shao already knew the answer in his heart, but he still asked calmly.

Liu Yu nodded and was about to invite Wang Yue to meet everyone, but he was nowhere to be seen. No need to ask, he must have been craving for alcohol and went somewhere to drink.

Cao Cao saw Yuan Shao coming over and advised: "Lü Bu has been defeated. Next we should pursue him and capture Hulao Pass in one fell swoop."

Yuan Shao looked at his own camp with great sorrow and grief. Out of a total of more than 50,000 men, after this battle, there were less than 5,000 men still able to fight. If he went to attack Hulao Pass with this current strength, he would have no chance of winning at all.

Seeing Yuan Shao hesitate, Cao Cao turned his gaze to Liu Yu.

"We must chase them. The people who followed Lu Bu out of the encirclement this time, including infantry and cavalry, are at least 5,000. We don't know if we can catch Lu Bu if we chase them, but we can't let him go back with so many soldiers. We must try to kill all the soldiers he led in this battle. As for Hulao Pass? After the loss of troops and generals this time, Dong Zhuo will definitely be wary. If Yu's prediction is correct, he will lead his troops back to Luoyang in no time. By then, Hulao Pass will be empty, and it won't be too late to seize Hulao Pass later."

Will Dong Zhuo abandon Hulao Pass and retreat to Luoyang?

Everyone was puzzled when they heard Liu Yu's analysis. If that was true, it would be equivalent to giving up Hulao Pass in disguise. Once everyone broke through Hulao Pass and approached the city of Luoyang, Luoyang would no longer be defensible. At that time, Dong Zhuo would become a fish in a pond, with no chance of turning over.

"Uncle, in my humble opinion, Dong Zhuo will definitely not give up Hulao Pass. If he really gives up this pass, we will go directly to Luoyang and he will definitely be captured by us."

Liu Yu smiled and said, "Meng De's words are not without reason, but Meng De, don't forget, how could Dong Zhuo wait for us obediently in Luoyang?"

"If Dong Zhuo is not in Luoyang, where will he go?" Yuan Shao was a little puzzled.

"Chang'an." Liu Yu said these two words lightly.

Luoyang was the capital of the Han Dynasty, rich in the world. How could Dong Zhuo give up such a place? Cao Cao thought for a moment.

"Uncle, I think something is wrong. Although Chang'an is strategically located and easy to defend but difficult to attack, it has been away from the political center for nearly two hundred years. It is sparsely populated, lacks resources, and has very limited development potential. Although Dong Zhuo is not very smart, his subordinate Li Ru is quite resourceful and will definitely not fail to see this."

"Li Ru will not only see it, but will also see it very clearly, so before they leave, they will completely empty Luoyang City and then burn it down."

What, burning Luoyang?

When everyone heard Liu Yu's words, they were stunned for a moment. That capital city of the Eastern Han Dynasty, which lasted for 200 years, enriched the world. In this majestic city, so much of the glory of the Han Dynasty was shared.

"Brother, there are millions of people in Luoyang. Will Dong Zhuo really move them to Chang'an? How many people will die along the way?"

How many people died along the way? Liu Yu had seen this passage in history books in his previous life. The history book used four words: corpses piled up to pave the road.

"Dong Zhuo is cruel and Li Ru is vicious, so how could they care about the lives of others?"

Liu Bei had always known Liu Yu's knowledge, and after hearing what Liu Yu said, he was already 70% sure. As a relative of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bei had always taken it as his responsibility to support the Han Dynasty, and now hearing this news, his heart was broken.

"It is a pity that our great Han dynasty has ruled for four hundred years, but has been harmed to such an extent by the traitor Dong. I wish I could eat his flesh and sleep on his skin. This will help me to eliminate the hatred in my heart."

Cao Cao asked a crucial question.

"Since the emperor's uncle guessed that Dong Zhuo would do this, did he already have a plan in mind?"

Liu Yu sighed. Although he had been planning this matter, he wanted to change the course of history and save Luoyang City from this disaster. Judging from the current situation, the development trend was moving more and more towards the original historical direction.

During this process, Liu Yu also deeply felt the saying that human power is ultimately limited.

"After Dong Zhuo retreats to Luoyang, he will definitely leave people to guard Hulao Pass. If we want to keep Luoyang, it depends on how long it takes us to capture Hulao Pass. If the time is short enough, Luoyang City may still be saved."
