Although the situation was obvious, Dong Zhuo was destroyed when the Allied forces overtook him.
However, the Allies did not attack.
Liu Bei and Guan Zhang visited the vassals one by one. Some of the vassals tried every means to evade. Some of them pushed the matter to Yuan Shao, saying that they would not attack without Yuan Shao's orders.
Later, many people simply avoided it.
Liu Bei dragged on for two days. Although he was worried every day, he was very happy.
"Big brother, although we have few troops, we can't do nothing. If Yuan Shao doesn't attack, we can't wait." Guan Yu couldn't wait any longer, so he said to Liu Bei.
Liu Bei pondered for a while and said, "tomorrow I'll go and persuade the alliance leader. If he still refuses to send troops, then we'll go by ourselves."
Liu Bei calculated that Zhang Yu should have been dead for four days, plus a few days on the road.
Liu Bei's calculation is very good. He goes to find Yuan Shao again, and Yuan Shao directly avoids him.
"Second younger brother, third younger brother, the alliance leader insists on not sending troops. Get ready. We will start tomorrow morning." Liu Bei said to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei go to prepare.
"Hum, Zhang Yu, I don't believe you can live this time. If you play big this time, the allies will not help you. You are going to die by yourself." Liu Bei and other officials left with a treacherous smile.
The Allies didn't send troops. Zhang Yu waited in Chang'an City for two days. Dong Zhuo didn't continue to attack these two days.
Two days later, the news of Luoyang also spread outside Chang'an city.
"Prime minister, our opportunity has come. My son-in-law is willing to go to the city to persuade Zhang Yu to let him give up Chang'an city. The prime minister will send people to prepare outside the city. Once we get the city, we will immediately hunt him down." Li Ru said.
"Well." Dong Zhuo nodded and said, "OK, you will go to the city immediately. If you have any requirements, please promise him first. He will never run again this time."
Li Ru agrees, and then sends someone to contact Zhang Yu.
On the same day, Zhang Yu received Li Ru's request to enter the city for negotiation.
"Lord, what shall we do?" Huang Zhong came and asked.
"Refuse Li Ru immediately. There's nothing happening outside now. The princes probably won't come. We need to make some preparations." Zhang Yu said.
Zhang Yu's refusal of Li Ru is nothing more than to fight for more time.
"Evil, Zilong, you immediately collect firewood in the city, pile it up, and make a posture of burning Chang'an city." Zhang Yu said again.
"Lord, you don't want to burn the city like Dong Zhuo. What should the people do?" Dianwei said with wide eyes.
"Fool, I'll make an appearance. This time Li Rulai will definitely negotiate with us, so as to scare him and strive for more benefits." Zhang Yu said.
Pawey slapped his head and giggled, then went to work.
After a day's delay in Chang'an, Li Ru sent another person to speak directly outside the city.
"Zhang Yu, the Allied forces of the princes have retreated, and you have become a lone army. If we retreat at this time, we can make way for the war. If we insist on fighting against the prime minister, we will die with regret." Li Ru sent someone to shout.
Zhang Yu appeared at the head of the city and said, "if you want to get the city, ask Dong pangzi to come to the city to get it. This time, don't send someone else, just want to send me away."
Li Ru was very depressed when he heard that. When he came to Zhang Yu, he became a man who couldn't get on the stage.
Moreover, the cost of sending Zhang Yu last time was not small. Zhang Yu wanted money and horses.
"General Zhang, we can still have a good discussion. It's not good for us to go on like this." Li Ru came out in person and said.
"Well, Li Ru, come in if you have the courage. Don't be scared to death." Zhang Yu ordered to open the gate.
When the gate opened, Dong Zhuo's army did not dare to attack. If they did, Zhang Yu would definitely make them suffer.
At this time, Li Ru had no choice but to enter the city.
Li Ru went into the city alone without any one.
"Li Ru, you'd better take a few people with you to spread the news." Zhang Yu yelled at him again.
Li Ru was startled. Did Zhang Yu want to detain himself as a hostage.
Li Ru hesitated. Last time he was not afraid, but this time he was. If Zhang Yu was really desperate, he would not be able to run.
But it's no good not to go. Dong Zhuo is watching. If he really dares not to go, Dong Zhuo will probably chop himself.
Unable to run left and right, Li Ru still took a few followers and went to the city.
Virtually, Li Ru's momentum is much weaker.
This is the purpose of Zhang Yu. Let's have a psychological war first.
When Li Ru entered the city, he was immediately shocked. Many soldiers in the street were collecting kindling materials.
"Is Zhang Yu going to burn Chang'an City, lunatic, lunatic?" Li Ru cried.
He never thought that Dong Zhuo could even burn Luoyang, and Zhang Yu's burning Chang'an city was nothing.
"This Zhang Yu must be the same way as last time. He just wants to get the upper hand in the negotiation." Li Ru thinks so.
Soon, under the leadership of the soldiers, Li Ru met Zhang Yu in the city master's mansion.
"Li Ru, we meet again. I don't know who's going to have bad luck again." Zhang Yu said.
In terms of address, Zhang Yu is no longer called Mr. Wen you, but by his first name. Li Ru knows that this negotiation is not so easy.
"General Zhang, I can ask you to send someone out to investigate. Now the allies have retreated, and your troops have been blocked. You are helpless." Li Ru said.
"I believe what you say, so I have to prepare early." Zhang Yu doesn't care.
Li Ru's heart tightened, his brow wrinkled and he said, "what does general Zhang mean? Don't you think the preparation is to burn Chang'an City? General Zhang doesn't think it's so boring. "
"How can it be boring? It's very interesting. Dong Zhuo burns a Luoyang, I burn a Chang'an." Zhang Yu said.
"General Zhang, if you want to take this as the price, you don't have to. Now the initiative is not in your hands." Li Ru continued.
Zhang Yu shook his head and said, "Li Ru, I'm afraid you don't understand my intention, so I'll tell you. Just because I'm at a disadvantage, I'm ready to run. What should I do if I'm ready to run? Dong Zhuo is sure to chase me. I'll let him put out a fire. "
Li Ru trembled and said, "General Zhang, you are crazy. You can't do this."
"Am I crazy? What is it if Dong Zhuo burns a Luoyang and I burn a Chang'an? I'm supposed to be the one Dong Zhuo hates the most. Now he's holding a heavy hand, so I can't guard against him? " Zhang Yu said.
These Confucians are very embarrassed. If Zhang Yu thinks so, he really has no solution.
Li Ru didn't know how to persuade Zhang Yu.
"General Zhang, everything is easy to discuss, there is always a solution." Li Ru can only try to stabilize Zhang Yu first.
"All right, go and think about it. If you can't, use my way." Zhang Yu then got up, leaving Li Ru as numb as a cucumber.
