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

After Li Ru said this, the two top advisers under Dong Zhuo smiled knowingly.

There was a hint of gloom in Jia Xu's smile, and there was a hint of cruelty in Li Ru's smile.

After the laughter, Li Ru deliberately asked: "Seeing Wenhe's calm eyes, he must have a good plan in mind."

Jia Xu laughed and said, "Mr. Li's wisdom is far superior to mine, so why bother testing each other?"

Li Ru smiled and said, "Wenhe, don't be so modest. Tell me how you can use the world as a chessboard and make the prime minister suffer a great defeat?"

Jia Xu laughed and said, "Since the Prime Minister does not want to kill Liu Yu, this great defeat will most likely be caused by him."

Li Ru smiled without saying anything and looked at Jia Xu.

Jia Xu was helpless and continued, "Luoyang City is now very stable. Even if there is some turmoil, it cannot change the Prime Minister's state of mind. So this enemy can only come from outside."

Li Ru still said nothing and looked at Jia Xu.

Jia Xu sighed, "Now the Prime Minister is in Luoyang, in a high position. Although the various forces are jealous, they are all afraid. There are two reasons. First, the Prime Minister has the emperor by his side and justice in his hands. Second, the Prime Minister is powerful and they are afraid of being defeated."

"If this were not the case, the Yuan family, who have been favored by the Han Dynasty for generations, would not resort to such a trick to murder the emperor."

Li Ru smiled slightly and said calmly: "If you want to move but dare not, then you can only lend them a helping hand."

Jia Xu bowed and said, "Mr. Li is right. Since they need righteousness, give them righteousness. Since they are afraid of being defeated by the Prime Minister, give them confidence."

Li Ru laughed out loud.

"Talking with Wenhe is like drinking sweet juice, it really makes Confucianism intoxicated."

Li Ru took two steps forward, took Jia Xu's hand and said with a smile: "Wenhe, such a wonderful event cannot be held without wine. Come, come to Ru's tent, and we will drink and chat."

After saying that, he took Jia Xu's hand and left Dong Zhuo's tent.

Li Ru's tent was right next to this tent. After walking a few steps, they arrived inside the tent.

Li Ru ordered his attendants to serve wine and food, and the two of them sat on the couch and drank a few cups together.

Li Ru said with a smile: "Wenhe, tell me your brilliant plan quickly so that I can hear it."

Jia Xu drank another glass of wine, and then he slowly said: "Mr. Li has a clear mind, why do you need me to talk nonsense here?"

Li Ru smiled and said, "This is a big deal. Although I have some plans in mind, I am afraid that I have missed something. It is a good opportunity to verify it with Wenhe."

Jia Xu bowed and said, "Since that's the case, I'll throw out some ideas to inspire others."

"Appreciate further details."

"Send a copy of the Emperor's Imperial Edict to Liu Yu, and he will definitely leave Luoyang with the edict. As long as he takes action, the heroes of the world will have achieved great justice."

Li Ru smiled and said, "He has the title of the Emperor's uncle and the Emperor's edict in his hand. The heroes of the world will definitely not let go of this opportunity."

"When the time comes, once he raises his arm and calls for action, all the forces will not miss this opportunity and will definitely follow Liu Yu to the capital to defend the king."

"If all the heroes in the world come together to attack, how can the Prime Minister not be defeated? After the defeat, we can persuade the Prime Minister to work hard and send out elite soldiers and generals to wipe out all the heroes in the world. Then the world will belong to the Prime Minister."

Li Ru clapped his hands and smiled, "Wenhe's strategy is exactly what I want."

"Wenhe, how many troops do you think they will gather once the emperor's edict is issued?"

After thinking for a moment, Jia Xu said, "The Yuan family is the most powerful now. Yuan Shao occupies Jizhou. Although he claims to have a million soldiers, I think his elite soldiers are no more than a few hundred thousand. Yuan Shu lives in Nanyang, and the soldiers he can use are similar to Yuan Shao. They also have a large territory to defend. It is estimated that the total number of soldiers they can mobilize is no more than 100,000.

"Although Liu Biao of Jingzhou has more than 100,000 soldiers, his foundation is not stable and he is defensive. Xu thinks he will definitely sit back and wait and see the outcome, and dare not send troops. Others like Gongsun Zan, Tao Qian, and Ma Teng have limited troops under their command, and it is not easy for them to mobilize 20,000 elite soldiers. Even if they can gather more than a dozen troops, Xu estimates that the troops will not exceed 500,000."

"Five hundred thousand soldiers may seem powerful, but these people are gathered for profit. If they lose in the early stage, they will definitely unite, but if they win a small victory, they will definitely fall apart for the sake of profit. By then, it will be easy for the Prime Minister to defeat them."

Li Ru thought about it secretly and smiled, "Yes, what Wenhe said is roughly the same as what I thought. Luoyang has Hangu Pass in front of them, so they don't have to worry about it. Ru is worried about whether there will be any unusual movements behind Luoyang.

Jia Xu laughed and said, "What Lord Li is worried about is Yizhou?"

Li Ru nodded.

"It was with this place that Emperor Gaozu appointed Han Xin as his general, repaired the plank road in public and secretly crossed Chencang, and captured Chang'an in one fell swoop. If Liu Yan took advantage of the intense war in front and mobilized elite troops to capture Chang'an and then went east through Hangu Pass, Luoyang would have no strategic location to defend and would be in danger if attacked from both sides."

Jia Xu smiled and said, "Don't worry, Lord Li. Think about what kind of person Han Xin was back then. He was always victorious in battle and conquered every city. Even the Overlord of Western Chu was defeated by his ambush. Liu Yan doesn't have any such people under his command now. Besides, all his sons are in Luoyang. How dare he make any moves?"

Li Ru thought for a moment and still felt that it was a bit risky.

"Those who achieve great things do not care about trivial matters. Wenhe forgot that when Gaozu's father was captured by Xiang Yu, he wanted to cook and kill Taigong, but Gaozu wanted a share of the spoils."

Jia Xu laughed secretly in his heart.

Gaozu wanted more than just a share of his father's profits. In order to escape, he kicked his children out of the car three times.

The son who was kicked out of the car was later Emperor Hui of Han, Liu Ying.

If Xiahou Ying had not sworn to protect him until his death, the history of the Han Dynasty would probably have been rewritten.

How many people throughout history are as shameless as Emperor Gaozu?

"If Lord Li has any concerns, there are only two ways to get from Yizhou to Guanzhong. One is to attack Chencang by the main road. If Lord Li has any concerns, he can send a group of elite soldiers to garrison Chencang. As long as Chencang is not lost, Guanzhong will be safe.

"The other way is to capture Chang'an, but this road is mostly mountainous, and it is extremely inconvenient to transport food. We only need to deploy more decoy troops and send more scouts along the way, and Liu Yan will definitely not dare to come."

Li Ru laughed loudly, his laughter full of smugness. He picked up a glass of wine and said with a smile: "Wenhe's wonderful theory should be made public."

Jia Xu smiled and said a few humble words, then raised his glass and they both drank a glass of wine.

Li Ru asked, "There is one more thing. Who should the emperor send the imperial edict to Liu Yu? Does Wen He have anyone in mind?"

Jia Xu thought for a while and said, "This matter still needs to be planned. This person must be trusted by Liu Yu and also be close to the emperor."

Li Ru asked directly: "If this edict is sent directly from the emperor to Liu Yu, what do you think of Wenhe?"

Jia Xu laughed and said, "That would be the best, but Your Majesty is young and lives in the palace all year round. Can you really think of sending an imperial edict to ask Liu Yu to come to the throne?"

Li Ru smiled slightly, his smile was full of coldness.

"The emperor certainly can't think of it, but those loyal officials of the Han Dynasty can think of it. We just need to do this, and this plan will succeed."

After saying that, he told Jia Xu his thoughts.

Jia Xu smiled and raised a glass of wine and said, "Mr. Li, this is a great idea. I'd like to offer you a glass of wine."

Li Ru picked up the wine glass and drank a glass of wine. The smile on his face became more and more intense.

I regard the world as a chessboard and the people as chess pieces, and invite the Prime Minister to join the game.
