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

Xu Shu looked around solemnly, and saw broken limbs and corpses everywhere on the city wall, with blood flowing like a river. It was as miserable as hell on earth.

&34;Quickly treat the wounded, clean up the battlefield, and prepare for the next more brutal battle! &34;

Xu Shu gave orders loudly, his voice was steady and powerful, resounding throughout the entire city like a huge bell.

The soldiers responded with a loud shout in unison, the sound was deafening and seemed to break through the sky.

At this moment, the look in their eyes when they looked at Xu Shu was no longer just awe, but also deep respect.

It turned out that before this, everyone thought that the long sword worn on Xu Shu's waist was just an ornament for a scholar to show off his taste.

Who could have expected that this usually gentle and intelligent strategist actually possessed such superb martial arts?

If he had not stepped forward and fought bravely, the city of Chang'an would have fallen under the iron hoofs of Cao's army and turned into ruins.

Xu Shu's face was pale, and he walked slowly to a corner of the city wall with slightly staggering steps, then slowly sat down.

Just now he seemed to be doing it with ease on the battlefield, but in fact he had tried his best and reached the limit of what he could endure.

If Xiahou Dun had not revealed his flaws due to his impatience during the fierce battle and had not underestimated Xu Shu's strength, it would have been Xu Shu himself who would have fallen in the end.

Even so, a long cut was made on his thigh by Xiahou Dun's sharp blade. Bright red blood flowed out from the wound like a stream, slowly flowing down his thigh and soaking the ground under his feet.

Relying on the rich experience he had accumulated over the years, he gritted his teeth and pressed the bleeding wound with all his strength, trying to slow down the speed of the blood gushing out.

He knew very well that he must not easily let the military doctor come to bandage him at this moment, because if he did so, it would inevitably have a negative impact on the soldiers fighting bravely around him, and thus shake the morale of the entire army.

You know, in this battlefield filled with smoke and life and death, soldiers fight each other, and sometimes what they compete with is precisely the morale of moving forward bravely and not retreating.

Just now, he personally charged into the battle line and killed the enemy bravely, successfully inspiring the fighting spirit of the soldiers here, making them full of morale and murderous intent.

However, they were facing the powerful army of Cao Cao, and were already at a disadvantage in terms of numbers.

If their morale dropped even a little at this point, there would be no doubt that they would be unable to withstand the surging and fierce attack from Cao's army.

On the city wall, the sound of passionate war drums suddenly rang out, like bursts of thunder exploding in the air.

Xu Shu didn't even need to turn around to look, he knew it clearly - Cao Cao must be reorganizing his troops and preparing to launch a new round of more fierce attacks.

If Cao Cao continues to maintain such a high-intensity offensive, it will not be long before the once impregnable city of Chang'an will fall into the hands of the enemy and become a ruin.

Thinking of this, Xu Shu became extremely anxious, but at the same time he secretly made up his mind to stick to the end no matter what, even if he had to shed his last drop of blood!

Just when he was full of worries and didn't know what to do, suddenly, a figure appeared in front of him.

"Yuanzhi, I've been looking for you everywhere! Why do you look so pale? Are you injured?"

Xu Shu shook his head slightly and replied softly, "It's okay, it's just a minor injury, nothing serious. But you, Kong Ming, shouldn't you be accompanying His Majesty to study at this time? Why did you suddenly come here?"

Zhuge Liang's face was as calm as water, and he responded calmly: "Cao's army is now at the gates of the city, and has surrounded Chang'an. Chang'an is in imminent danger.

At this critical moment of life and death, how can I still have the energy to bury my head in my studies? I came here to help you, Yuanzhi, to protect this city together."

Since Zhuge Liang came to Chang'an, whenever they had free time, the two would often get together, sitting in the courtyard or strolling in the mountains and forests, chatting about everything under the sun and discussing things from ancient times to the present.

As the communication deepened, Xu Shu was surprised to find that although Zhuge Liang was still young, his breadth of knowledge and profound learning were not inferior to his own.

This really made Xu Shu feel extremely confused. If it was said that Zhuge Liang was better at studying, perhaps Xu Shu would find it understandable.

But isn’t knowledge based on experience?

The reason why he has such extraordinary insights is entirely because of the experience and knowledge he accumulated from traveling around the world when he was a ranger in his early years.

On the other hand, Zhuge Liang spent all his time studying beside the emperor, and he almost never left the gate of Chang'an. As a result, people couldn't help but wonder where his outstanding insights came from.

"Kong Ming, you look so calm and composed right now. I guess you already have a plan in mind, right?"

Xu Shu looked at Zhuge Liang eagerly, his eyes full of expectation and trust.

Zhuge Liang gently waved his feather fan and nodded slightly. His wise and profound eyes seemed to see through everything. He asked slowly, "Yuanzhi, let me ask you, what is Cao Cao's biggest reliance that allows him to threaten Chang'an now?"

The voice was not loud, but every word was clear and powerful, resounding in Xu Shu's ears like the sound of a huge bell.

Xu Shu frowned upon hearing this, and after thinking for a moment, he responded directly: "The number of soldiers is several times greater than mine! Cao's army is large, and our troops are scarce. It is really difficult to compete with them!"

His words revealed deep worry and helplessness.

Zhuge Liang smiled and nodded, indicating that he agreed with Xu Shu's opinion, and then said: "Yes, if I give Yuan Zhi 10,000 soldiers, will Yuan Zhi be more confident?"

This sudden question surprised Xu Shu.

"Ten thousand elite soldiers?" Xu Shu's eyes widened, his face full of shock. "Is Kong Ming serious? There are no young men available in Chang'an except the elderly, children, women and children. I wonder where the ten thousand elite soldiers Kong Ming mentioned will come from?"

He looked at Zhuge Liang in disbelief, eager to know the answer.

Zhuge Liang was not in a hurry. He just smiled faintly, stretched out his right hand calmly, pointed to something not far in front of him, and said, "Yuanzhi, look at this, what is it?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Shu came to his senses and turned to look in the direction Zhuge Liang pointed. As soon as he took a look, Xu Shu's eyes were filled with shock.

"This..., is this what Kong Ming brought?"

Zhuge Liang smiled faintly and said, "It is absolutely true. No one in the world has ever seen this thing except here!"
