When he learned that it was because Zhuge Liang said Lu Li might be dead that Leifu went mad, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

This Zhuge Kongming is really a bit eccentric. Is this the same Shu Han prime minister who devoted himself to the cause until his death, as recorded in history?

"So, Laifu has already returned to Yizhou?" Lu Li asked.

“Yes!” Zhao Yun nodded.

"I've come here to tell you to evacuate Luoyang," Lu Li said.

"Withdraw from Luoyang?" Zhao Yun was taken aback.

They painstakingly captured Luoyang, only to have Cao Cao reap the benefits, and now they're even giving up Luoyang.

"Uncle-Master, why?"

"Are you aware of the imperial decree conferring titles upon you as kings?" Lu Li asked.

Zhao Yun nodded; the news had already spread throughout the land.

"That's it. Luoyang will become the target of everyone's attacks. Although there are 300,000 troops stationed here, it is surrounded by enemies on all sides and is too dangerous," Lu Li explained.

Zhao Yun was still puzzled. They now controlled the two provinces of Yi and Jing, making them arguably the most powerful warlord in the land.

Besides, we've already defeated the allied forces last time, so why should we be afraid of those feudal lords?

"Last time it was a naval battle. If it were a land battle, the 300,000 troops in Luoyang might not be a match for these warlords."

Lu Li couldn't say it outright, but their true enemy wasn't these feudal lords, but rather the will of Heaven.

If it deviates too much from history, Heaven will probably have to step in and correct it.

By then, it will be unknown who will die.

Lu Li has already been through all of this, and he doesn't want anyone around him to die in vain, so he must lie low!

"Go and summon Zhang Liang!"
