Xu Shu's eyes were clear. He slowly pulled Guan Yu up and said, "Yun Chang, there is no need to do this. Please stand up quickly."

Guan Yu insisted on completing the ceremony before he stood up and said slowly, "I was so arrogant and reckless that I almost messed up my uncle's important business."

Xu Shu looked far away and said calmly: "Yuan Shao was able to occupy the four northern states in a short period of time, not only because of his status as a descendant of the Yuan family.

Jizhou has been home to many heroes since ancient times, so it is not too much for us to be cautious."

After this incident, the arrogance on Guan Yu's face disappeared. If he had insisted at the beginning, he would have caused a disaster by now.

"What Yuan said makes sense. What should we do now?"

Xu Shu said, "My lord has already made arrangements for us to occupy Shangjun and attract Yuan Shao's troops. Now that the siege of Chang'an has been settled, please ask Yunchang to organize the army first. After the army is organized, we will go to Shangjun together."

Upon hearing this, Guan Yu nodded slowly and went to organize his troops without saying anything more.

The city of Chang'an was suddenly attacked by Yuan's army and became a mess.

But with Man Chong's talents, the situation can be stabilized quickly.

Man Chong was a decent and serious person, and everyone in Chang'an City was afraid of him.

The Chang'an Guards under his command are all highly skilled and have infiltrated every corner of the city of Chang'an. Even if someone wants to make trouble in Chang'an, they would not be able to do so.

Liu Bei completed the mission of delivering the letter and should have returned to Luoyang in time, but he did not leave. Instead, he paid a visit to the current emperor.

After he told Chen Dao the news, Chen Dao clearly expressed his refusal without any hesitation.

"The emperor studies hard in the palace and does not see any outsiders."

Although Liu Bei was a relative of the Han royal family, he was not recognized by the emperor. Chen Dao said that he was an outsider, and Liu Bei had nothing to say.

Although he felt a little disappointed, he could do nothing but bid farewell to Guan Yu and left in disappointment.

Although it was a pity that he did not meet the emperor, there was one thing that made him even more worried. He was wondering how Uncle Liu would punish Guan Yu for disobeying military orders and attacking Taiyuan without authorization.

This matter can be big or small.

To put it in a broader sense, Guan Yu disobeyed orders on the battlefield and should be executed according to military orders.

To put it simply, Guan Yu was worried about Luoyang and took the initiative to advance in order to relieve the pressure in Luoyang.

Liu Bei was a little worried. If Liu Yu was unwilling to forgive Guan Yu's mistakes, what should he do?

On one side is loyalty, on the other side is righteousness!

Xu Shu saw the doubts in Liu Bei's heart, but he did not try to persuade him. According to Xu Shu's understanding of Liu Yu, now was the critical moment in the battle with Yuan Shao, and Uncle Liu would definitely not kill Guan Yu.

But it is still possible to give a slight punishment and a severe warning.

Chen Dao leaned against a corner of the city wall, watching the medical officer treating the wounded, and his tense mood eased a little. This battle was too sudden, and he led a thousand soldiers, one third of whom were killed or wounded.

Facing an enemy that is several times larger than himself, this result is not bad, but Chen Dao still feels a little distressed.

These soldiers were the elite in the camp, selected by him to protect the emperor. The loss of these forces now meant that the power to guard the emperor had become weak.

Xu Shu has been somewhat puzzled ever since he saw Chen Dao.

When Chang'an was attacked, Man Chong led the Chang'an Guards and appeared on the city wall at the first time. Xu Shu had no doubts.

Man Chong was in charge of the security of Chang'an City, and he could grasp the situation inside and outside the city in a timely manner. In addition, the Chang'an Guards were supposed to protect Chang'an. He would never watch Chang'an City being breached.

But Chen Dao's duty is exactly the opposite. The person he protects is the emperor. The more turbulent the times are, the more people with ulterior motives will appear.

At this time, Chen Dao should have stayed closely beside the emperor. Even if Chang'an City was breached, he would not have to think about defending the city, but would have to take the emperor to move as soon as possible.

Xu Shu asked his own question.

Chen Dao replied calmly, "The reason is very simple. I am here with the Tiger Guards because I am following the order of His Majesty."

This answer surprised Xu Shu even more. His Majesty was able to make a decision in a short period of time, and then gave up his own safety and asked Chen Dao to bring all the Tiger Guards to support the city gate. This in itself was quite remarkable.

"It is surprising that your majesty has such insight."

Chen Dao replied: "As far as I know, this was not your Majesty's idea. It was Kong Ming's persuasion that made your Majesty decide.

Kong Ming told Your Majesty that if the skin is gone, the hair will not be attached. The garrison and the Chang'an Guard alone could not resist Yuan's army, so he asked Your Majesty to order me to bring people to support.

"Your Majesty, not only will Chang'an City be breached, but your own safety will also be endangered?"

"Kong Ming has already stated in his advice that Yun Chang will definitely return within six hours at most, so as long as we hold out for six hours, Chang'an City will not be conquered."

"Reason?" Xu Shu simply asked his doubts.

"Uncle Liu had Yunchang lead the troops to attack Shangjun in order to attract Yuan Shao's troops. This was a feint attack. Now Guan Yu has changed the feint attack into an actual attack, which is inconsistent with Uncle Liu's plan.

Yuanzhi, you will definitely give him advice, but if Yunchang does not listen, you will definitely write a letter to the emperor's uncle to explain the situation.

After Liu Huangshu learns of the situation, he will certainly order Yunchang to withdraw his troops. According to the time node, he has already returned to Shangjun, which is not far from Chang'an. Send light cavalry to report to Bai. Yunchang will definitely arrive within six hours. "

"What should we do if Yunchang doesn't return to the army within six hours?"

Xu Shu found it a little unbelievable and asked anxiously.

Chen Dao said calmly: "This matter is very simple. If Yunchang is unable to return to the army, I will lead the Tiger Guards, retreat to the palace, pick up the emperor, and leave Chang'an City immediately."

When Xu Shu heard this, a look of admiration appeared on his face.

Although Zhuge Liang was in the palace, he was able to deduce the whole thing clearly, as if he had seen it with his own eyes. This ability is truly terrifying.

When Zhuge Liang came to Chang'an to accompany the emperor in studying, Xu Shu had met this man, but they were only in a hurry and did not have much conversation. He only heard that Zhuge Liang was invited out by Emperor Liu after he visited him three times.

Uncle Liu was of such high status that the person who could be invited out by him three times must be a great sage of the time.

After seeing Zhuge Liang, Xu Shu felt that his feelings were somewhat inconsistent with his actual feelings.

Zhuge Liang was too young, so young that the childishness on his face had not completely faded away.

At such an age, his experience must be limited. Even if he is very smart, why would the emperor's uncle visit him three times?

Later, Zhuge Liang walked into the palace and never came out again.

As time went by, Zhuge Liang's figure gradually became blurred in Xu Shu's mind.

It was not until today, after Chen Dao's remarks, that Zhuge Liang's figure became clear again.

I have misjudged him. Although this boy is young, his knowledge is far beyond that of ordinary people. If given more time, his achievements will surely be limitless.
