Outside Chang'an City.

Today Liu Han looked at the information in front of him in disbelief: "Wen He, Wang Yue has restored contact!"

Intelligence, whether in ancient times or modern times, is one of the most critical factors in winning a war. "Know your enemy and yourself, and you will be invincible in a hundred battles." This is what it means.

If you want to win the war, the safest and most reliable way is to wait until you have completely correct information about the enemy's situation before taking action.

Only through intelligence can we timely grasp the enemy's reality, intentions, and trends in order to formulate corresponding countermeasures, gain the initiative in military and diplomatic struggles, defeat the enemy, and become invincible.

The siege of Chang'an was first of all a tactical necessity, buying time for Huang Zhong to capture the two counties of Fengyi on the left and Fufeng on the right, and at the same time preventing reinforcements from the Chang'an garrison. After Huang Zhong captured the two counties, the war situation would be reversed, and the anxious side would Liu Han will become Li Jue, Chang'an will become an isolated city, and the defenders will become a lone army with no retreat, and the morale of the army will be weakened.

However, Liu Han was afraid that Li Ru would be cruel and do anything he could to prevent hundreds of thousands of people from being buried in Chang'an, so he only besieged but not attacked to prevent the dog from jumping over the wall.

It has been nearly a month since the siege of Chang'an. It can be said that Liu Han has a dark eye on the internal situation in Chang'an. Now that he has contacted Wang Yue again, he is very happy.

Jia Xu: "Lord, what did Mr. Wang Yue say in the intelligence?"

Due to the limited content carried by homing pigeons, Wang Yue could only make a long story short, "The situation in Chang'an is not good!"

Li Ru not only arrested and purged all the spies in Chang'an City, but also strictly controlled everyone in Chang'an City. If he was not careful, he might be convicted of collaborating with the enemy and beheaded.

After reading the intelligence, Jia Xu also had a rough idea of ​​the internal situation in Chang'an, "My lord, now only the Chang'an defenders are left in the land of the three auxiliaries. Otherwise, we can't attack by force, so why not..."

No one can better understand people's hearts than Jia Xu, "Wen He, speak out boldly."

Jia Xu didn't hide it either: "My Lord, Li Ru is very wary of the nobles in Chang'an City, which shows that Chang'an is extremely unstable."

Liu Han nodded in approval. With so much pressure outside, Li Ru also asked 10,000 people to keep an eye on the people, which showed that someone inside wanted to wait for both sides to suffer losses after the army attacked the city, and then jump out to "rectify the chaos" and profit from it.

"This shows from the side that Li Ru is afraid of death!"

Jia Xu's words awakened Liu Han, "Yes!"

If Li Ru was not afraid of death, he would have been killed when Dong Zhuo died or lived incognito, and would not have led the Xiliang army to counterattack Chang'an.

"My lord, the final plan is to forcefully attack the city and capture Chang'an from the outside. Strong cities are broken from the inside, and the breakthrough point is Li Ru."

"I suggest that since Mr. Wang Yue has met Li Ru once, he might as well let him meet Li Ru again, with the Lord's handwriting to ensure that he will not die..."

Jia Xu looked at Liu Han, Li Ru was one of the culprits who killed the emperor...

Liu Han did not raise any objection, "You go on first."

"My lord, what Xu means is that Wang Yue can contact Li Ru and Li Ru can help. We can cooperate outside to drive a wedge between Li Jue and Guo Si and make them kill each other. When the city is in chaos, we..."

Liu Han naturally figured out Jia Xu's plan: "When the city is in chaos, those guys in the city who are ready to take action will definitely take action. We just need to wait for them to open the city gate and invade Chang'an."

Jia Xu: "Yes! That's what I mean! This way our army's losses can be kept to a minimum."

Inside Chang'an City.

As Zhang Xiu's first silk letter was shot into the city, the Xiliang army in Chang'an City became a lone army. After the news spread, people in Chang'an were panicked and undercurrents surged.

Today, Liu Han's troops who besieged Xiliang's army sent another 10,000 letters into the city, and a lot of eloquent words, but in summary, there are only a few sentences: You have been surrounded, and surrender is your only way out.

Scheming!

Yang conspiracy!

Such is the human heart, Li Ru felt deeply powerless.

"Who?!"

Li Ru saw a figure moving outside the window, and immediately drew out his dagger alertly, walked out of the door, and looked at the passage back and forth, but there was no one there.

Li Ru put away the weapon mockingly and closed the door: "Maybe I've been under too much pressure recently and I'm hallucinating."

Just as Li Ru turned around to take a rest, he happened to see Wang Yue sitting where he had just been.

Li Ru looked murderous, gritting his teeth and said: "Wang Yue! Are you not dead yet?!"

Wang Yue looked at the furious Li Ru and asked, "What? Sir, are you disappointed?"

Li Ru knew that he could not match Wang Yue in terms of force, so he stared at him warily, "I wonder what you are doing here late at night?" Wang Yue didn't beat around the bush, "It's nothing, my lord sees you as a talented person and doesn't want you to die."

Li Ru was a little surprised, mainly because anyone in the world who could be favored by Liu Han would feel proud.

Even if Dong Zhuo was praised a few times by Liu Han at Hulao Pass and drank a lot of wine happily, Liu Han's words were more useful than Xu Shao's Yuedan comments!

"King of the River?"

Wang Yue stood up, walked to Li Ru, looked left and right, and looked Li Ru up and down: "I don't know what my lord is interested in, you are such a black-hearted thing. You want to kill me, but I still have to try to save you."

With that said, Wang Yue took out Liu Han's handwriting angrily: "Read it yourself!"

Li Ru took the silk in confusion and read it carefully.

Liu Han's meaning is very simple. Either you cooperate with me, drive a wedge between Li Jue and Guo Si, and let them kill each other. If the city of Chang'an is destroyed, you will survive; or you can continue to fight stubbornly and be united with Li Jue and Guo Si. Destroyed, killed!

Wang Yue: "At the beginning, you asked me to save you, and I kindly asked you to run out of Chang'an as soon as possible. You survived, but after you took Chang'an, why did you kill me and us?"

Li Ru was always calculating the gains and losses given by Liu Han, and said without thinking: "I'm afraid that you will expose my collusion with you to Li and Guo. When the time comes, I..."

Wang Yue was furious and pointed at Li Ru: "You!!"

In order to survive, Li Ru agreed: "I agree with His Highness's plan."

Wang Yue knew that this was not the time to fall out with Li Ru, "Huh! Let's take the first step first!"

After saying that, he left without looking back.

Li Ru then left the house in the middle of the night and called Guo Bang to come to Li Jue.

"Wenyou, it's so late at night, is there anything you can't tell me early tomorrow morning?"

Li Ru said anxiously: "Zhiran, I'm afraid my head will be missing early tomorrow morning!!"

Li Ru's words successfully dispelled the sleepiness of the two of them, and Guo Bang immediately said: "What happened?"

Li Ru didn't beat around the bush: "The surrender letter from the King of Hejian during the day made Chang'an, which was already undercurrent, even more dangerous. According to reliable information, many noble families have been meeting secretly at Yang Biao's house in the past few days, and it seems that there is going to be an uprising!"

"No reason!"

Li Jue asked: "Do you know who they are?"

Li Ru didn't waste any time and took out the silk: "It's all here."

Li Jue looked at Guo Si, who understood: "Okay! Since they are ruthless, don't blame me for being unrighteous!"

With that said, Guo Bang put on his armor and said, "Here comes someone!"

"exist!"

"Gather your troops together!"

"Here!"

Li Ru said to the two of them: "Don't kill them all! Otherwise Chang'an will be in chaos, and no one will be able to survive by then!"

Li Jue: "Then what do you think we should do?!"

Li Ru: "Choose a few dances that are fun to do, and kill the chicken to scare the monkeys!"

“But this treats the symptoms rather than the root cause!”

Li Ru said the ultimate purpose of this: "We can't stay in Chang'an anymore. Tomorrow we will talk to the King of Hejian to negotiate terms and see if we can be let back to Xiliang."

"If you can't, then we will be burned together with the whole city!"

Li Ru's cruelty made Li Jue and Guo Si's hair stand on end. (End of chapter)
