"There is no need for my father-in-law to investigate this matter.

Hua Xiong may have played a dirty trick on Li Su, or he may not have played a dirty trick on Li Su.

By this time, it actually doesn't matter anymore.

The most important thing is how to handle this matter.

How to stabilize the hearts and minds of people on both sides.”

Li Ru said slowly.

"My son-in-law feels that Hua Xiong is still granted the title of Marquis of Sishui Pavilion, but other than that, no other rewards are given to him.

But Xu Rong, don't let him go to Sishui Pass to serve as Hua Xiong's deputy general.

The originally decided number of five thousand troops also needed to be reduced.

Change it to two thousand.

Li Su's place, add Dr. Guanglu to Li Su, give him more pensions, and give his son some official positions..."

"Isn't this just making peace with mud?"

Dong Zhuo looked a little dissatisfied and said.

Li Ru smiled and said: "My father-in-law is right, this is He Xi Ni.

But sometimes, it just needs to be muddled.

Not everything has to be divided into right and wrong, right from wrong.

Sometimes, things cannot be explained clearly and do not need to be explained clearly.

To explain it clearly, to understand it, and to get to the bottom of it is not as good as being in peace..."

Li Ru looked at Dong Zhuo, twisted his beard and said with a smile.

The voice is neither urgent nor slow.

Dong Zhuo naturally understands this truth, but many times, he always subconsciously wants to distinguish right from wrong.

Hearing what Li Ru said, he thought for a while, nodded and said: "Okay, then I will do as you said, appease the people in Bingzhou, give Hua Xiong some rewards, and give him a proper beating.

However, if Xu Rong is not allowed to go to Sishui Pass, who would be better to go to Sishui Pass and serve as Hua Xiong’s deputy general?

Can it not only play a beating role, but also prevent problems at Sishui Pass?"

Li Ru twisted his beard and said, "My son-in-law already has a candidate in mind. What does my father-in-law think of Gao Shun?"

"Who is Gao Shun?"

Dong Zhuo thought about it in his mind, but he didn't expect that he had a relatively high-status general named Gao Shun under his command.

Li Ru smiled and said: "He is a general of the Northern Army."

The Northern Army was part of the imperial army guarding Luoyang, but after Dong Zhuo led the border troops to Luoyang, he controlled the Northern Army and incorporated it.

After undergoing several reorganizations and divisions, the Northern Army at this time basically existed in name only.

Many soldiers and horses were separated, leaving only two thousand soldiers and horses.

And those generals in the Northern Army who were famous, or had backers and backgrounds, were all kicked out after repeated reorganizations.

As of now, there are only two thousand soldiers and horses left in the Northern Army.

Gao Shun, a general with no reputation, no backing, and no background, was left here to take charge of the Northern Army, which was almost empty-handed.

With Li Ru's reminder, Dong Zhuo remembered the Northern Army that he had almost forgotten.

"Those Northern troops haven't been on the battlefield very often, have they?

I remember that the remaining Union troops did not have horses, they were all infantry.

Isn’t it a bit awkward to send this over?”

Li Ru laughed: "Otherwise, how can it have the effect of beating?

How to convince those people in Bingzhou?

Father-in-law, don't worry, these Northern troops can't keep them alive forever.

If we don't let them go to the battlefield now, they will never be able to go to the battlefield and they will always be recruits.

At this time, when fighting against the Kwantung Allied Forces, most of the soldiers under those Allied Forces were at the same level.

It's a good idea to take this opportunity to exercise.

Moreover, Hua Xiong is already showing off his power at Sishui Pass, but he is attacking too often now.

At this time, getting him some Northern Army infantry can also put some restrictions on him so that he doesn't always go out to fight.

Those who fought against the Kwantung Allied Forces can hold back a little bit after they are painful.

There is no need to be too stubborn.

At this time, the most important thing was to move the capital.

Reject the princes in the east and move the capital to the west.

If we finish moving the capital as soon as possible, we here will be able to free up our hands and feet and attack these Guandong princes properly."

Dong Zhuo thought for a while, sighed, nodded, and then did what Li Ru said.

He sighed at this time, not because of the affairs of Hua Xiong, Li Su and others, but because of what Li Ru said about moving the capital.

In the past, he thought that by occupying Luoyang and controlling the court, he could command the world.

But a series of things that happened next told him that this was simply impossible.

It is easy to occupy Luoyang and control the court, but it is too difficult to command the powerful men.

There are too many disobedient people.

If a fight really breaks out, he won't be afraid of the Kwantung Allied Forces at all.

But there are many things that cannot be solved by fighting.

Not to mention the rest, just a matter of money and food is enough to kill someone.

In the past, he only led troops on the border. When he ran out of money and food, he would reach out to the court for it.

No feeling at all about it.

At this time, I came to Luoyang and took charge of power, only to realize how difficult it was for the court back then.

At this time, the whole world was in rebellion, and the only places that could collect taxes were the Sanfu area and the surrounding areas of Luoyang.

These places alone cannot hold on.

As for those coalition forces of princes, as long as they still occupy Luoyang, they will never retreat.

No matter how hard I beat them here, it would still be the same.

Because his son-in-law Li Ru said that when these people raised their troops, the banner was to kill him, the rebel.

If he keeps occupying Luoyang and they retreat, then they will lose their righteousness and become outright rebels.

So they fight to the death to consume themselves here.

Can you afford to spend it here?

In a short period of time, it will definitely be expensive, but if it takes a long time, it will take two or three years, and it will not be enough.

Moreover, there were Han Sui, Ma Teng and others in Liangzhou, and there were Baibo bandits in Hedong.

These are unstable existences and need to be careful...

Therefore, Luoyang must leave.

Once you leave, these problems can be easily solved.

But you can't leave quickly, you can only proceed in an orderly manner.

Otherwise, great chaos will occur, and even more so, my vitality will be severely damaged...

Dong Zhuo naturally knew that his son-in-law Li Ru's analysis was correct.

But thinking about these things, I still feel a little depressed.

He came to Luoyang and took control of the court, but in the end he had to leave Luoyang and could not really control the world...

"Prime Minister, Wu Qiong would like to see you."

That is to say, when Li Ru and Dong Zhuo had decided on the matter and were about to implement it, someone came to report it.

After Dong Zhuo and Li Ru looked at each other, Li Ru, who was about to leave, stopped.

Dong Zhuo waved and asked Wu Qiong to come and see him...

"Prime Minister, my subordinates feel that Hua Dudu should be transferred from Sishui Pass.

Today's Governor Hua is no longer suitable to continue guarding Sishui Pass."
