Three Kingdoms: From Hulaoguan to Global Hegemony

Chapter 347 Night Attack (VIII)

The general guarding the Pingcheng Gate of the imperial city was Han Jin, the son of Han Sui.

Han Jin was frightened when he saw a large number of soldiers and horses suddenly coming outside the city. He thought that the three gates in the east, west, and south were impenetrable, and that the general Liang Xinggang took away nearly [-] elites and would not be defeated so quickly. .

Could it be that the military horse in front of me is a divine soldier who fell from the sky!
"The king of Zhongshan came to serve the king, and you will be surrendered as soon as possible!"

The Yulin Army under the city shouted Liu Yu's name, scaring Han Jin on the city defense from taking the lead.

"Hurry up and report to Beigong... The enemy soldiers have entered the city!"

As soon as the messenger left, Han Jin even rolled and climbed down the tower. There were only [-] guards here who couldn't hold it at all, so he chose to give up in order to save his life.

But when he fled to Nangong, he saw all the officials sitting cross-legged in the palace, and he had a sudden plan.

"Come and escort all these officials to Chongde Hall!"

……

Liu Yu led his troops to the gate of Pingcheng, but he did not immediately order to attack. He just sat on his horse and stared at the Chongde Hall in the distance. It was like a cup of tea until Zhang Fei arrived with his troops. He slowly looked back.

"Fortunately, the east gate has been captured, please order the attack on the imperial city, my lord, Zhang Fei is willing to be the vanguard!"

"Yide has worked hard!" Liu Yu smiled and told his subordinates to stay calm.

Zhang Fei stepped back, and Zhong Yao, who was following beside him, quietly stepped forward and asked, "There are only a few enemy soldiers guarding the Pingcheng Gate. Why did my lord keep the soldiers at a standstill? Do you still have concerns?"

There is nothing wrong with Zhong Yao's question, because this is also the doubt in the hearts of many soldiers, but the eyes he looked at Liu Yu carried some unspeakable hints.

Liu Yu looked at him and immediately caught the details in the other's eyes, so he asked back: "Yuan Chang thinks, should I have concerns at this moment?"

After Liu Yu finished speaking, his face became more serious.

Zhong Yao didn't dare to look at him any longer, and lowered his head and replied, "I thought to myself, my lord must be thinking about the safety of the officials in the imperial city and... the emperor, so he threw the mouse and didn't let the soldiers attack immediately. city!"

Liu Yu nodded noncommittally, but his expression was still serious. It seemed that he was not satisfied with Zhong Yao's explanation.

"Yuan Chang...seems to be more worried than I am!" Liu Yu laughed after finishing speaking, "I am aiming to revive the great man, and the corporals and corporals recruited counselors for the purpose of calming down the great order after the chaos. As a counselor, you don't need to worry too much, if you have an idea in your heart, it's better to speak it out!"

Zhong Yao felt a chill down his spine when he heard the words. It seems that the lord Liu Yu has seen through his thoughts. At this time, he will lose his position as a counselor if he is in hiding, and the lord Liu Yu will not like it.

Thinking that Zhong Yao is not hesitating here, he stepped forward again and said in a voice that only Liu Yu could hear.

"I feel that my lord is a loyal and virtuous king who thinks about the emperor and all officials, but...accidents are inevitable in the process of suppressing chaos, so I implore my lord to quickly order the attack on the Chongde Palace!"

Leading troops into the Golden Palace will force Han Sui to die, and the chances of the emperor and the officials surviving will be slim.

If the emperor dies, the Han Dynasty will definitely need a new emperor. Zhong Yao is loyal to the Han, so he is not optimistic about Liu Xie, the emperor selected by the traitor Dong Zhuo, but the lord Liu Yu in front of him is an excellent emperor. Candidates.

But can Liu Yu really stand out in this troubled world and become the new emperor?In other words, can Liu Yu be recognized by all the princes when he becomes the emperor at this time?

Before, Liu Yu had been looking at the Chongde Palace from a distance, but he was actually thinking about this problem. As a time traveler, he came to the troubled times at the end of Han Dynasty, and Liu Yu must have his own idea of ​​being the emperor to turn the tide.

But Liu Yu knew very well that the troubled times at the end of the Han Dynasty were ruled by princes and aristocratic families. He has only traveled here for a few months, and his foundation and reputation have not yet reached the point where everyone knows it.

Seeing that the victory is within grasp, but causing casualties to the emperor and ministers because of his recklessness, he will be criticized by the people all over the world.

That's why Liu Yu hesitated, should he attack the imperial city by force or resolve tonight's battle peacefully?
Zhong Yao's advice was obviously inclined to attack by force, because he was not very loyal to Liu Xie, who was pushed to the dragon chair by Dong Zhuo, and he didn't like the ministers in the court who only knew how to protect themselves.

When he resigned and returned to his hometown, he saw through the faces of those ministers, so at this time he wanted to assist the new king.

After hearing this, Liu Yu couldn't say that he was not moved, but Zhong Yao's sentence of "a virtuous king of loyalty and righteousness" reminded Liu Yu.

A virtuous king seems to be more fragrant than an emperor who is not respected by the world.

Although becoming the Son of Heaven can engage in scientific research and seek development under less constraints, it is also possible to become the target of the princes of the world.

First of all, there are too many people surnamed Liu in the world, and each prince will recommend a different candidate for his own interests, so Liu Yu can't guarantee that after the death of the emperor Liu Xie, he must be the successor respected by the world.

Secondly, the separatism of the princes has become inevitable. For the sake of their long-term development, the princes and warlords hope that the court and the emperor are incompetent people, and Liu Yu's name has already been announced, and the princes certainly do not want him to sit on the throne of the Dragon Throne.

Another point is that Liu Yu used to be close to Dong Zhuo, so he will definitely be criticized by the princes of the world. At that time, it is impossible for the so-called loyal ministers and righteous men to use this to fan the flames and organize people to besiege Luoyang.

On the contrary, if the emperor and all the officials can be saved in this catastrophe, then Liu Yu's reputation will reach its peak.

Coupled with the fact that he holds a heavy army, he naturally became the third powerful minister to control the court and the emperor after Dong Zhuo and Han Sui.

The emperor Liu Xie was only ten years old, and he needed his family member Liu Yu to help him govern the government. In this regard, Liu Yu was easier to be accepted by the world than Dong Zhuo and Han Sui.

And no matter what Liu Yu wants to do in the future, if he causes dissatisfaction among the people of the world, he can blame the emperor Liu Xie.

At that time, a loyal minister who only thinks of the emperor will be able to evade it completely.

Sure enough, it is not the time to forcefully sit on the dragon chair, it is better to hold the emperor to make the princes come more affordable.

"Pass down the order, and the whole army will set up camp on the spot. Send envoys into the city to recruit Han Sui!" Liu Yu ordered the army to put away their weapons immediately.

It's just that Zhong Yao, who was on the side, showed panic after hearing this. He felt that he had guessed the lord's mind wrongly, and he was a little out of character.Not only will he lose the merit of being a dragon, but he may be regarded as a courtier by the lord.

Seeing Zhong Yao's ugly face, Liu Yu knew what he was thinking, so he smiled and comforted him: "Yuan Chang Wuyou, I was very moved by your proposal just now, but... the time is not yet ripe, this matter is only you and me The two know it, and don't spread it on your own!"

"Don't worry, my lord, this matter will definitely not reach the ears of a third person."

Zhong Yao felt relieved, and said that the lord had listened to it just now, but the lord's talent is more long-term, and he is not in a hurry. As expected, it is the most correct decision of my Zhong family to be a counselor under the lord's command!
