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

Just when Liu Xian was extremely anxious and almost going crazy, Lu Su's calm and firm voice was like a clear spring, flowing into his ears in an instant, extinguishing the infinite panic in his heart and making him quickly regain his composure.

"As for manpower, you don't have to worry. Now, you just need to lead these people to the east gate.

But remember to be careful and avoid the attack range of the powerful bows and crossbows on the city wall. As for all subsequent matters, leave them to me!"

After hearing Lu Su's words, Liu Xian's originally tense nerves relaxed a little.

However, his eyes still sparkled with a sharp light, as if they could penetrate the thick fog and see through all the truth.

He stared at Lu Su and muttered to himself, "Could it be that...Uncle Liu has secretly hidden such a huge force in Xiangyang City?"

There was surprise and confusion in his words.

You know, as a military stronghold, Xiangyang City’s military affairs have always been managed by dedicated personnel.

Although this specific matter was not under Liu Xian's jurisdiction, he was in the city and must be well aware of the general situation of military affairs in the city.

Not to mention how powerful the bows and crossbows deployed on the tall and heavily guarded city walls are, the manpower required to force open the city gates alone is by no means a small number.

According to common sense, even if they could avoid those terrifying bow and crossbow attacks, in order to successfully open the city gate, they would need at least nearly a hundred strong and skilled men to accomplish the task.

Moreover, each of these people must have the courage to fight ten people alone. Otherwise, even if they are just a little short of that, they will probably fail in the end and there will be no possibility of success.

However, what shocked and made Liu Xian feel unbelievable was that in the city of Xiangyang, which was usually strictly inspected and had impenetrable defenses, Liu Bei had actually been able to plant so many people in advance without anyone noticing!

How did he do this? Could it be that Emperor Liu really had such a capable person under his command?

Or in other words, is there some shocking secret hidden in this?

For a moment, countless questions flooded Liu Xian's mind, causing him to fall into deep thought...

Lu Su narrowed his eyes slightly, with a faint smile on his face, and said slowly: "Uncle Liu has great ambitions and wants to revive the Han Dynasty.

He had been secretly planning for a long time regarding the strategic location of Jingzhou.

If you want to lay out so many back-up plans in such a tight time, even those who are resourceful and have planned everything out would probably find it difficult to do so!"

Lu Su's words came lightly into Liu Xian's ears, but they were like a thunderclap.

In an instant, Liu Xian felt a chill on his back, and the chill instantly spread throughout his body, making him shiver involuntarily.

From the deep meaning implied in Lu Su's seemingly casual words, Liu Xian keenly realized the unfathomable and terrifying nature of Uncle Liu.

He couldn't help but wonder secretly that this uncle Liu, who had just successfully captured Luoyang City, had already set his sights on Jingzhou at that time and began to carefully plan a series of actions to seize Jingzhou.

At the same time, he was also step by step advancing his grand blueprint of restoring the Han Dynasty and sweeping away rebels in the world.

What a long-term vision and extraordinary self-confidence this requires!

Liu Xian seemed to see that heroic figure, commanding thousands of troops with great confidence, firmly believing that he could rely on his own strength and wisdom to revive the former glory of the Han Dynasty.

Sure enough, everything happened as Lu Su expected. On the next morning, when the first ray of sunlight shone on the earth, the mighty army led by Emperor Liu had already arrived at the outskirts of Xiangyang.

I saw flags flying, drums beating, and a huge momentum.

However, what is surprising is that Emperor Liu did not order a siege of Xiangyang City on all sides, but instead adopted a strategy of surrounding three sides and leaving one side behind.

What is even more strange is that the gap is located exactly in the direction of the east gate.

Faced with this situation, Liu Xian was full of doubts, thinking to himself: Could it be that Liu Huangshu temporarily changed the battle plan? Or was there something wrong with what Lu Su said before about the situation of the city gate?

For a moment, all kinds of speculations came to Liu Xian's mind, causing him to fall into deep thought.

After thinking about it overnight, Liu Biao changed his mind.

Not only did he not want to limit Cai Mao's power, but he placed high hopes on Cai Mao. He hoped that Cai Mao could lead the soldiers to defend Xiangyang City, while waiting for Liu Yu to withdraw his troops voluntarily.

Looking at the confident Cai Mao, Liu Xian suddenly felt it was a little funny.

Uncle Liu had made thorough preparations in Xiangyang City, and Cai Mao had no chance of winning at all.

Liu Xian even thought of another possibility. Even if he did not surrender to Uncle Liu, Lu Su would have a way to break open the city gate.

A person like Liu Bei would naturally not put all the chips on himself.

I am just a link in this plan. In the whole process, no link is irreplaceable.

At the hour of Yin, Liu Xian led a large group of people and rushed towards the east gate.

Although it was already the late night, the city of Xiangyang was still brightly lit, with soldiers patrolling back and forth constantly.

Liu Xian's status and position were so high that when he appeared on the street with Lu Su and others, there was no suspicion at all.

"Zijing, Emperor Liu is surrounded on three sides and one of the gates is missing. Zijing, are you sure we still want to break through the east gate?"

Lu Su smiled faintly and said, "I have already made an agreement with Uncle Liu on this matter, and there will be no mistakes. Shizong just needs to act according to the plan."

Liu Xian nodded, took firm steps and slowly moved forward.

As they got closer and closer to the east gate, Liu Xian's palms were filled with sweat.

The guards at the East Gate had obviously also spotted this group. The leading general drew his sword and shouted sternly: "The gate is a strategic location. No one is allowed to approach. Anyone who disobeys my order will be executed immediately!"

Liu Xian calmed his mind and shouted loudly: "General, don't be nervous. I am Liu Xian, Liu Shizong. I came here to visit you on the orders of my lord."

The leading general naturally knew Liu Xian's name, and he was a little confused. As the deputy governor of Jingzhou, Liu Xian assisted Liu Biao in handling the government affairs of Jingzhou. But he did not participate in military affairs, and Cai Mao was always in charge. He didn't know why Liu Biao sent him to check the city gate?

While the general was stunned, Liu Xian led everyone forward a dozen steps. At this time, the distance from the guards at the city gate was less than twenty steps.

The gate commander's eyes widened, and he was awakened from his deep thoughts. He sensed a murderous aura.

He suddenly became alert, his voice tinged with coldness.

"Stop immediately, take a step forward, and I will kill without mercy!"
