"General Guo thinks the emperor is too simple. You must know that Lu Bu is loyal to the emperor now. With his bravery, who among us can defeat him?" Zhang Ji said with a hint of ridicule.

"Why should General Zhang let others' ambition destroy his own prestige?" Hearing this, Guo Si glared at Zhang Ji with some displeasure: "Although Lu Bu is strong, he is only one person. We have two hundred thousand soldiers and horses, and

There is still Chang'an City to defend, even if Lu Bu has a fighting force that is invincible to ten thousand households, can he still break through our Chang'an City?"

"I can only say that the emperor is not that simple, otherwise he would not be able to conquer a powerful general like Lu Bu." Zhang Jidao.

"I won't say any more. In short, if we don't go to war with the imperial court this time, we will be dead." Guo Bang's eyes glowed coldly, and he had already decided to fight Liu Xie to the end.

"I agree with General Guo and fight to the end. We have several counties in Liangzhou as our backing and Chang'an City to defend us. No matter how powerful the imperial court is, we cannot break through it in a short time," Li Jue said.

"That's good."

"Now let's divide the defense of the four city gates of Chang'an." Guo Bang glanced at everyone and already regarded himself as the commander-in-chief.

"I led 50,000 troops to guard the main gate of Chang'an and confronted the imperial army head-on. General Li Jue led 50,000 troops to guard the west gate, General Xu Rong guarded the south gate, and General Zhang Ji guarded the east gate."

"What do you think of this distribution?" Guo Si asked.

"Yes, we can guard each gate with all our strength so that the court can't break through, and there can be no gap between us. Like an iron barrel, the court has no way to break through the city." Xu Rong nodded in agreement.

"Now that we are both prosperous and devastated, I will say another ugly word. If anyone dares to turn his arms outward, then don't blame me for being ruthless." Guo Si said coldly, looking across Xu Rong.

They, but the focus still settled on Zhang Ji for a moment.

After all, Zhang Ji's previous attempt to surrender and seek peace would inevitably be noticed by Guo Si.

Time flies.

Half a month has passed.

After such a long march, the 150,000 troops commanded by Liu Xie also arrived at Chang'an City.

The once ancient capital of the Han Dynasty was also far away in Liu Xie's eyes.

"Your Majesty, Chang'an City is only five miles away from here. May I ask if your Majesty will attack directly or what?" Lu Bu rode his horse to Liu Xie's side and asked respectfully.

"Command the army to set up camp where it is and rest for one night before attacking the city tomorrow." Liu Xiewei ordered.

"I obey the order." Lu Bu immediately went down to deliver the order.

The army reorganized and set up camp.

Under the arrangement of the great military advisor Jia Xu, setting up camp was also in accordance with the art of war. It could advance or retreat, and it could be defended and defended to prevent any illegal encampments by Dong Zhuo's remnants.

In the center of the camp, in the main tent in the center.

The generals gathered.

Liu Xie sat on the main seat, exuding an aura of calmness and authority, and the ministers below were all in awe.

"Chang'an City is only five miles away. We can attack the city if we march tomorrow. However, according to the reports from spies, Guo Si has already gathered Li Jue, Xu Rong and others. There are 200,000 soldiers and horses in Chang'an City. If we attack by force, my Han's chances of winning are low.

Gao, after all, they are defending the city." Zhang Liao reported the battle situation.

"Only by leading them out of the city to fight, my army can defeat them in one fell swoop." Lu Bu said loudly.

"Fengxian, after this battle is over, you can read me more military strategies." Liu Xie raised his head and looked at Lu Bu.

"Your Majesty, why do you want me to study?" Lu Bu said with some amusement.

"Because you are a reckless man who cannot see clearly the reality. If you continue like this, you will suffer losses sooner or later."

"Wen He, come and explain to him." Liu Xie lectured calmly.

"I obey." Jia Xu gave Lu Bu a funny look, then looked around the crowd and said, "Although Li Ru, the smartest man under Dong Zhuo, is dead, Guo Si and the others are not stupid. They know that going out of the city to fight will lead to death.

Therefore, it can be expected that they will not leave the city, but will stick to the city and not leave."

"Since they won't come out, we will attack the city by force. I will be the vanguard and break the city gate." Lu Bu continued, still looking fearless.

"As a general, you cannot choose the generals under your command based on their own prowess. What you said about storming the city is simple. Two hundred thousand troops are stationed there. How many people must die to break through the city gate?" Liu Xie glared at Lu Bu and scolded.

"Your Majesty, calm down, I understand."

Lu Bu then thought about it and seemed to have thought about the consequences of storming the city, which would definitely be a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood, and a look of fear appeared on his face.

If we really attack by force, nearly half of the 150,000-strong army will inevitably be lost, playing right into Guo Si's plan.

"Wen He, what's your strategy for this situation?" Liu Xie looked at Jia Xu with a testing look.

"Every strategy that I can think of, your Majesty must have thought of it too." Jia Xu's eyes were filled with insightful wisdom.

"Wen He, please stop being so secretive and tell me quickly." Lu Bu said impatiently.

"The battle to destroy the remnants of Dong Zhuo is a battle of attacking the heart, and the key point is the word attacking the heart." Jia Xu smiled confidently and strategized.

"How to attack the heart?" Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan and other generals all looked at Jia Xu.

"When Dong Zhuo died, only Hua Xiong and Fan Chou followed him in Luoyang, while Guo Si and others were stationed in various counties in Sizhou. As soon as Dong Zhuo died, they all fled knowing that there would be no good results, but the Xiliang soldiers under their command must not have known

Dong Zhuo is dead, because Guo Si and others will try their best to cover up such a major event that affects the morale of the army."

"This is the key point of attacking the heart." Jia Xu said with a smile, looking at everyone.

"I understand. Spreading the news of Dong Zhuo's death in Chang'an City will greatly affect Guo Si and other troops, and their morale will be greatly damaged." Lu Bu clapped his hands and smiled excitedly.
