"Rest assured, my lord, there are also members of the Embroidered Uniform Guard around the residence of the emperor. They will act immediately should any unfavorable situation arise."

With Shen Lian making such thoughtful arrangements, what worries could Liu Wei possibly have?

Liu Wei immediately instructed Shen Lian to make the arrangements.

At that moment, another spy rushed in to report:

"Good news from Liangzhou!"

"Read it!" Everyone's spirits lifted.

"Ma Teng fought fiercely with General Xue but was defeated and retreated to Jincheng. Our army captured Wuwei! Han Sui surrendered with Ma Teng bound. General Xue's troops entered Longyou and Zhang Yang resisted stubbornly!"

Great news!

Xue Rengui's progress was truly rapid.

However, that is only to be expected.

Xue Rengui commanded Liu Wei's most elite troops: two thousand Xuanjia cavalry, five thousand Baipao cavalry, one thousand Modao soldiers, and three thousand crossbowmen!

In sieges, field battles, cavalry battles, and infantry battles, they were almost utterly crushed. Ma Teng had also experienced the power of the Xuanjia Cavalry firsthand, so their defeat was inevitable.

However, Han Sui's ability to assess the situation and make judgments shows that he was a talented person!

"Send word to General Xue to advance steadily. What I want is the entire Liangzhou region, so that Ding Yuan and Lü Bu will have nowhere to go."

Then, another spy arrived:

"My lord, the latest battle situation in Bingzhou!"

"General Di Qing has been unable to capture Yanmen Pass after a long siege. General Zhang Liao is engaged in a fierce battle with Duan Wei's army under Dong Zhuo at Feihu Pass, with the assistance of the Murong Xianbei tribe!"

"The progress in Bingzhou is not going very smoothly; Dong Zhuo's defenses are very strong!" Xun You said after hearing this.

"I don't think Dong Zhuo will issue an order for his generals in Bingzhou to abandon Bingzhou so soon," Liu Wei sneered. "But it will be soon. With 10,000 men from our two locations in Shangjun and Hexi crossing the river, the morale of the troops in Bingzhou is wavering."

"I will add fuel to the fire and leave Bingzhou surrounded by enemies on all sides!"

Does my lord have other troops at his disposal?

Everyone was taken aback.

"Great monk, Gongda!" Liu Wei shouted.

"My lord, we are here!"
