Liu Zheng's plan to attack Luoyang has not yet been talked about with the generals and strategists under his command, and Zhou Cang's big mouth has been propagated, and many people know it.

Especially Xu You, after hearing the news, hurriedly ran over to find Liu Zheng.

"Mr. Xu You, why are you here?"

Although Liu Zheng knew that Xu Yu would oppose his idea, he didn't expect that the reaction would be so big, and he actually ran over to him in a hurry so quickly

Liu Zhengming knew that Xu You was more concerned about this matter, which was why he didn't discuss it with Xu You in advance.

"I heard that you are going to attack Luoyang, can I not be in a hurry? Qu Shuai, if our current men and horses go to attack Luoyang, they will definitely be defeated, so think twice! ”

"Why will we lose, in my opinion, we have a great chance!"

Xu You's anxious appearance aroused Liu Zheng's interest and wanted to hear what he had to say.

When Liu Zheng asked him this, Xu You began to tell Liu Zheng his opinions, trying to persuade Liu Zheng to dispel this decision.

"Qu Shuai, you see, although our strength has increased greatly, we have 30,000 soldiers and horses in Runan County, but our 30,000 soldiers and horses are not elite, if we really encounter the same number of officers and soldiers to defeat, it is still extremely difficult, but do you know how many men and horses the imperial court has arranged around Luoyang!"

"Let's not talk about the soldiers and horses arranged by He Jin, the general of Luoyang's headquarters, that is, the Jinggi land near Luoyang, the eight passes guarding Luoyang, there are thousands of soldiers and horses in each pass, as far as I know, there are at least six or seven thousand people guarding each pass, and the pass city is strong, if there are not enough siege equipment, it is difficult to break these passes."

"Although we have as many as 30,000 people, it is very difficult to break through these passes and enter the Luoyang realm, in my opinion, even if we can fight under Luoyang City, there are definitely not many people left, and we will definitely not be able to break through Luoyang City."

"And take 10,000 steps back, even if we take Luoyang, what can we do? Having killed the emperor, they will only set up another descendant of the imperial family again, and succeeding as the new emperor will not solve the fundamental problem. ”

Xu You's words made Liu Zheng immediately nod and did not deny it.

Xu You saw Liu Zheng nodding in agreement, only thinking that he had persuaded Liu Zheng not to continue attacking Luoyang, and immediately added.

"Qu Shuai, you see that attacking Luoyang is so unfavorable, why do we have to go to great lengths to do this thankless thing."

"Well, Xu You, what you said is right, but who told you that I went to attack Luoyang to kill the emperor."

"Huh? Attacking Luoyang is not to kill the emperor, so what are you going to do? ”

When Xu You said this, Liu Zheng knew that the news he heard from Zhou Cang's mouth was not complete, but he heard that Zhou Cang was going to attack Luoyang, but he didn't hear what Liu Zheng said to Zhou Cang and Chu Yan before.

So at this time, Liu Zheng could only be patient and continue to explain to Xu You.

"Mr. Xu You, it seems that you still don't know the information from Jizhou, Tiangong General Zhang Jiao ordered me to lead all the men and horses to support Jizhou."

"Are you saying that the situation in Jizhou is not good, and General Tiangong Zhang Jiao can't stop the attack of the three major lieutenant generals?"

Xu You is relatively smart, and after Liu Zheng mentioned it, he immediately thought of it.

Liu Zheng nodded, which made Xu You's face sink suddenly.

Then after a moment of silence, he finally raised his head and looked at Liu Zheng again.

"Do you want to use the attack on Luoyang to attract the attention of the three major lieutenant generals, so as to alleviate the fighting situation on the Jizhou side?"

Xu You quickly figured out the significance of Liu Zheng's action, and after Liu Zheng listened, he nodded, and once again thought a little more highly of Xu You's ingenuity.

"Wonderful, wonderful, what a clever plan!"

At this time, Xu You understood the role of Liu Zheng's action, and also knew what Liu Zheng was doing this for!

"Oh, it seems that Mr. Xu Yu has seen the subtlety of my plan."

"I saw something, I said it, I don't know if it's right, the reason why Qu Shuai didn't go directly to Jizhou was because he didn't want to compete head-on with the three major Zhonglang generals, and secondly, he was looking for a way back for himself. In my opinion, Qu Shuai is afraid that he has already seen that the Yellow Turban Army is no longer good, and he is looking for a way back for himself. ”

"And taking the initiative to get out of the Jizhou battlefield is the best choice, choosing to attack Luoyang, first, it can help relieve the pressure on the Jizhou battlefield, and secondly, it is also the fastest to get the news. Once the matter on the Jizhou battlefield is over, Qu Shuai, who is near Luoyang, can get the news faster than the imperial court, so that he can react improvised. ”

Xu You's words guessed Liu Zheng's thoughts.

made Liu Zheng can't help but admire Xu Yu a little more.

"It is worthy of the person I fancy, Mr. Xu You is really a worm in my stomach, and I can't hide anything from Mr."

"But Qu Shuai, although this is very beneficial to us, but there are also uncertain factors, in case the people of the imperial court perceive our threat and directly gather troops from Luoyang to encircle and suppress us, we will also suffer from the enemy, which is very unfavorable."

Xu You said the crisis, and Liu Zheng had already thought of this point. 、

"Don't worry, this point will not appear at all, first of all, when we have not broken the pass and entered the land of Gyeonggi, the imperial court will not send people and horses from the land of Gyeonggi to come out to encircle and suppress us, and so on, it is more than to let the nearby Taishou form an army by himself and come over, but I am sure, no matter who the Taishou is, my men and horses will be able to defeat him."

"At the same time, the most likely thing for the imperial court is to send the three major lieutenant generals over, and I'm sure that the person who comes must be Dong Zhuo!"

"Why?"

Liu Zheng's words made Xu You a little puzzled.

"Dong Zhuo was ordered to come over to encircle and suppress us, but he let us grow stronger, and hit the land of Gyeonggi, how can the court give up, and will definitely treat him for offense, and if he wants not to be punished by the court, he can only bring someone over to defeat us, otherwise he will be in a dilemma."

With Liu Zheng's description, Xu You suddenly realized that he praised Liu Zheng's plan even more, and vigorously supported Liu Zheng to attack Luoyang.

However, although it was decided, Liu Zheng was not in a hurry, but was waiting, waiting for an opportunity.

Within two days, Chu Yan, who went to Nanyang, took Zhang Mancheng, who came from Nanyang, to Runan.

If they want to support Jizhou, they must pass through Runan County, which gives Liu Zheng and Zhang Mancheng a chance to meet.

Zhang Mancheng's injuries have not healed, but it is a major matter in Jizhou, and he did not dare to slack off, and personally led people to Jizhou.
