Reborn in the Three Kingdoms, I stole Liu Bei's uncle
Chapter 161 Morale
When Li Jue received the news brought back by the messenger, his first reaction was fear.
If Wang Yun did not agree to pardon him, his life would be in danger at any time.
His first thought was to escape.
When he expressed his thoughts, he was ridiculed by Jia Xu.
"Escape? Where to escape? If General Li abandons his army and flees north alone, even a village headman can catch you and bring you to justice."
Jia Xu's words made Li Jue nod repeatedly.
"Wenhe, what should we do now?"
Jia Xu smiled slightly, with a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.
"It's simple. Take Chang'an."
If Jia Xu had not spoken slowly, word by word, Li Jue would have thought he had misheard.
After he received the news of Dong Zhuo's death, he immediately fled Chang'an City with the Feixiong Army. Although the Feixiong Army was the elite among the elite of the Xiliang Army, there were only 3,000 of them after all.
Chang'an City now has at least 100,000 soldiers and horses, and more importantly, there is a ruthless man named Lu Bu. He has seen Lu Bu's bravery, and he has no chance of winning against him.
"Wenhe, with the men under my command, taking Chang'an would be a death wish."
"Lord Li is now gathering the defeated soldiers from Xiliang. If my guess is correct, it won't take long before he can gather tens of thousands of elite soldiers. By then, will General Li still feel that he has no chance of winning?"
"Besides, since General Li wants to escape, if he fails after taking Chang'an, it won't be too late to run away then."
Li Jue thought it made sense. He had to run anyway, so it might be a good idea to first see the situation before running.
If it is true as Jia Xu said, Li Ru can gather tens of thousands of elite soldiers, then there is no chance that he will capture Chang'an.
Li Jue stopped fleeing and, under the leadership of Jia Xu, quickly joined forces with Li Ru.
Li Ru's face was as gloomy as dead water. Dong Zhuo's death was like a bolt from the blue, dealing him a heavy blow.
Although he tried his best to persuade him, Dong Zhuo turned a deaf ear to him.
Li Ru's heart was filled with anger. Dong Zhuo's kindness in the past was deeply engraved in his heart like a branding iron, and he still remembered it vividly.
However, Dong Zhuo's life has now been extinguished like a candle flame, and even if he is extremely wise, he cannot save this lost life.
At this moment, there were only two words in Li Ru's mind, and that was destruction, complete destruction.
He would lead the Xiliang soldiers to attack Chang'an City and kill all the people there. Only in this way could he repay Dong Zhuo's kindness.
"Mr. Li, what should we do next?" Li Jue asked with a hint of doubt in his voice.
"Assemble the troops immediately and capture Chang'an." Li Ru's words were as cold as ice.
"Right away?" Li Jue was a little embarrassed by the firm look in Li Ru's tone. "Mr. Li, ever since the Prime Minister was killed by a traitor, the soldiers of Xiliang have become frightened birds. Now they just want to retreat to Xiliang as soon as possible. How can they still have the fighting spirit to capture Chang'an?"
"It won't be too late to capture Chang'an after the soldiers' morale is restored."
Li Jue was a man who had fought in many battles and understood the influence of morale on an army.
An army that has no fighting spirit will quickly collapse once it encounters difficulties.
Such an army has no combat effectiveness at all.
They are even worse than bandits, who will risk their lives for food.
The hearts of the Xiliang army are now shrouded in dark clouds, and the only thing they want to do now is to return to Xiliang. Only by returning to their hometown will the fear in their hearts completely dissipate.
"Don't worry about morale. I have my own way. It won't be long before the Xiliang soldiers regain their fighting spirit. Not only that, they will be even more brave than before."
Under Li Ru's arrangement, countless heads of Xiliang soldiers were sent to the military camp. At the same time, there was also a hunt and suppression order from the imperial court.
The content of the order was very simple, with only a few lines, but it clearly showed the court's attitude.
Although Dong Zhuo is dead, the soldiers of Xiliang are still there. They have committed many evil deeds and cannot be forgiven.
These contents spread quickly throughout the army like the wind.
The Xiliang soldiers only then realized that even if they laid down their swords and returned to their hometown, their lives were still not guaranteed.
In great fear, the idea of returning to Chang'an to avenge Dong Zhuo was also promoted by Li Ru and quickly spread among the army.
Since escaping back to his hometown would mean death, it would be better to kill him directly and bring him back to Chang'an. If he wins, he might be able to escape with his life.
After overcoming the great fear, these Xiliang soldiers finally burst out with strong fighting spirit as Li Ru had expected.
Li Ru looked at everything in his eyes, and the fire in his eyes became stronger and stronger.
Without any delay, he immediately ordered his troops to march towards Chang'an City.
Wang Yun was sitting in the study. When he heard Liu Yu's words, he still did not show any worry. Instead, he was calm and composed.
"Dong Zhuo is dead, and the Xiliang army is a mess. We don't need to worry about them at all. Besides, we still have Marquis Wen here, so how can we talk about the danger of Chang'an?"
There was a coldness in Lu Bu's eyes, and there was a hint of disdain in his eyes.
"Don't worry, my lord. The Xiliang army is led by people like Li Jue. Even if they come, we have nothing to fear."
Lu Bu was very proud. There were very few people in the Xiliang army who caught his eye.
But Li Jue is definitely not included.
Liu Yu looked at the two men's arrogant demeanor and felt a little worried. If the Xiliang army was ranked in terms of the degree of danger, Li Jue might not be ranked at the top, but don't forget that there are two terrifying figures behind him.
These two guys are absolutely invincible in terms of destructive power, not to mention the Xiliang Army, even in the whole world.
They don't have many worldly concepts in their minds. They don't care about the consequences or the impact. In order to achieve their goals, they can use the whole world as pawns. Such people are enough to make people tremble in fear no matter what era they are in.
"Uncle, don't forget that there is Li Ru in the Xiliang army. He is a man of great scheming and must be guarded against."
"Although Li Ru has some strategies, he is not as powerful as my nephew said, otherwise Dong Zhuo would not have died."
"Dong Zhuo's death was not because Li Ru failed to see through his plan. It was because Dong Zhuo insisted on his own way and did not follow his advice."
Liu Yu looked at the proud expressions on the two men's faces and knew that his words did not alert them.
As for Wang Yun's change, Liu Yu could only attribute it to the changes that power brings to people.
When you are at the pinnacle of power, it can really blind you.
"Since we must fight, Li Ru will definitely not wait. Uncle, you should make preparations early."
Seeing Wang Yun nod, Liu Yu saluted and left. In Liu Yu's memory, Li Jue would attack Chang'an City in a very short time, and then Chang'an City would be engulfed in flames again.
Judging from the current situation, this battle is simply unavoidable. Now he only hopes that Wang Yun can follow his advice and hold out for a while longer. Only in this way will Liu Yu have a chance to make his plan work.
