Three Kingdoms: From Hulaoguan to Global Hegemony

Chapter 261 Corporal Li Xian
When Liu Yu mentioned the plan to cut Dong, both Xun You and Zhong Yao were pleasantly surprised.

"Remove Dong? Does King Zhongshan want to overthrow Dong Zhuo?" Xun You asked excitedly.

Both Xun You and Zhong Yao are loyal ministers with a heart for the Han Dynasty. They were demoted because they targeted Dong Zhuo. If they have the opportunity to deal with Dong Zhuo, they will definitely spare no effort to help.

Seeing the expectant eyes of the two, Liu Yu knew that what he said just now had successfully attracted these two Yingchuan celebrities.

"I am a member of the Han royal family, how can I see Dong Zhuo surpassing the emperor! Guo Si who was killed before and Lu Bu who defected are actually my schemes."

"What!" Xun You was shocked, and looked at his uncle Xun Yu in disbelief.

"Mr. Wen Ruo, is this true?" Zhong Yao also asked in shock.

Compared with Liu Yu, these two people are more familiar with Xun Yu, so I want to hear him personally prove that Liu Yu did the two things.

Without any hesitation, Xun Yu replied: "The fall of Guo Si's army was indeed caused by King Zhongshan, and I am honored to participate in it. The plan to induce Lu Bu to defect to Luoyang was also arranged by King Zhongshan.

"However... the above two strategies are just the beginning of the plan to eliminate the director. Next, King Zhongshan must have more exciting plans."

With Xun Yu's testimony, the two people's views on Liu Yu have improved again, and their friendship has also increased to 85.

Then Liu Yu explained the "moth theory".

Liu Yu said: "The interception of grain and grass is not for my personal selfish desires, but for the accumulation of materials for the next plan. Furthermore, the transport of grain and grass into Taicang is not only not beneficial to the court, but harmful!"

Dong Zhuo controlled the power of the imperial court, and the food was said to have entered Taicang, but it was actually in the pockets of the Xiliang Army. Moreover, there were royalists who were eyeing the tiger and wanted to get a share of Taicang.

Both Xun You and Zhong Yao had been officials in the imperial court and knew the darkness in the imperial court very well, so they both understood the truth without Liu Yuming's telling.

At this time, Zhong Yao became curious about what Liu Yu said about accumulating materials, and asked, "The king of Zhongshan said that he would accumulate materials for the next plan. Could it be that he intends to attack Luoyang?"

The soldiers and horses went ahead without moving food and grass. Zhong Yao guessed whether Liu Yu was hoarding food and grass near Luoyang to prepare for a surprise attack on Luoyang, but how much threat could only a few thousand troops pose to Luoyang?
It turned out that Zhong Yao and Xun You had been to the underground palace on the hill when they came, and there they saw more than 3000 soldiers of the Yulin Army.

"I'm guessing that King Zhongshan's subordinates should be more than the three thousand Yulin army, but even if there are ten times more troops... I'm afraid it will not be so easy to attack Luoyang City."

Dare to fight against Dong Zhuo secretly, Xun You felt that Liu Yu's strength must be more than those 3000 men, but he still underestimated the total number of Liu Yu's troops.

Today's Liu Yu has more than [-] troops under his command.

However, Liu Yu did not respond directly to the issue of soldiers and horses, but patiently explained the nature of the plan to cut Dong for the two.

"Hehehe, I didn't say I want to attack Luoyang now, but the core of the plan to cut Dong is to cut off the branches and leaves first, and then chisel the trunk!"

At this time, including Han Sui and Ma Teng's troops in Luoyang City, there were about 7 Xiliang soldiers defending, and the surrounding area also included 3 soldiers from Niu Fu who took him to the southwest, 3 soldiers from Xu Rong's department from Henan County, and Hong Kong troops stationed in Hong Kong. Nong's [-] Li Jue army.

Both Zhong Yao and Xun You are highly resourceful people, and this place is very close to Henan County, so when they heard Liu Yu's explanation, they both understood that the soldiers and food in the hills should be prepared to deal with Xu Rongjun.

But [-] against [-], the number is still too inferior, either Liu Yu has other hidden soldiers, or his strategy is really flawless.

Seeing that the two still had some doubts, Liu Yu had no choice but to reveal the detailed plan to deal with Xu Rong's army.

"Before I came, Dong Zhuo ordered me to be the commander-in-chief to deliver food and grass for Xu Rong and Niu Fu's troops, so I thought of a clever plan to join forces with Zhu Jun from Mount Funiu to send reinforcements!"

Liu Yu knew that if he wanted to gain the favor of celebrities, he had to be courteous and virtuous, and the key to being courteous and virtuous was trust.

That's why he said the strategy he just thought of without hesitation. Sure enough, both Xun You and Zhong Yao were attracted by this strategy after hearing it, and were even more moved by Liu Yu's trust.

After all, the two of them are now only guest ministers and have not taken effect.

So Xun You cupped his fists in admiration, and said: "For such an important matter, the King of Zhongshan...he didn't hide it from the two of us. This makes me really don't know how to express my respect, and I am willing to be a pawn in the army. Please send the King of Zhongshan as he pleases! "

Zhong Yao and Xun You were inseparable, seeing that he expressed his desire to participate in the action, he immediately followed suit and asked to fight.

The performance of the two made Liu Yu happy, but after seeing that the friendship displayed by the system had not yet reached the full value, he realized that he was a little too happy.

Xun You and Zhong Yao did have a strong interest in him and the plan to eliminate Dong, but they would not immediately swear allegiance just because of a few words.

Celebrities are very assertive, and if you want to subdue them, you can't just rely on previous achievements, but dealing with Xu Rong's army is the best touchstone.

As long as Liu Yu's plan can really defeat Xu Rong's army, then Xun You and Zhong Yao will naturally be convinced to take effect.

Liu Yu saw that apart from wanting to help, the two also wanted to test, so he agreed on the spot to let them participate in the plan.

"The two gentlemen are the talents of the pillars. It is a waste to be a soldier in the army. Since the two gentlemen sincerely help each other, then let Wen Ruo direct this plan together!"

As soon as Liu Yu finished speaking, Xun Yu asked in surprise: "What? Isn't my lord going to deal with Xu Rong's army in person?"

Xun You and Zhong Yao also looked at each other strangely.

Because the three of them all believed that the success rate of this plan was very high, why did Liu Yu give Xun Yu the command of this day's great contribution.

"Subordinates vote for the lord. I'm afraid they won't be able to convince the crowd. It's more appropriate for the lord to direct himself!"

Xun Yu felt that if Liu Yu could personally command, Xun You and Zhong Yao would be able to experience Liu Yu's kingly spirit at close range, so as to subdue them.

On the other hand, Xun You and Zhong Yao were wondering whether Liu Yu had given Xun Yu the responsibility of commanding because of his lack of command ability in front of the battle.

They also heard more or less rumors about Hulao Pass before, but what they heard was believing what they saw. At this moment, Liu Yu's performance made the two of them have a little doubt about his force and commanding ability.

I only heard Liu Yu say: "I promised Wen Ruo before that I would give you a chance to make meritorious service. I have high expectations for you, sir, and I will count on you to help me plan big things in the future, so this time the action against Xu Rong's army is all up to you." It must be to help Wen Ruo establish a prestige in the army!"

"Ah! This..." Xun Yu didn't expect that Liu Yu gave up the opportunity to make meritorious service this time in order to justify his reputation!

It's hard to find such a good lord to turn on the lights, Xun Yu was very grateful, and both Xun You and Zhong Yao also showed envy.
