In ancient times, people emphasized "learning civil and military skills and selling them to the emperor's family", and also emphasized "the king chose his ministers, and the ministers also chose his kings."

People with ability will want to serve others in exchange for fame, wealth, glory and wealth. But the more capable people are, the more they will choose the person they serve. They have various considerations and references.

Some people will choose those with deep family backgrounds, such as those of Yuan Shao's fourth generation and three dukes. Some people will choose to seek refuge in the clan relatives, such as Cao Cao's Cao family and Xiahou family. Some people will choose the lord of righteousness, such as Liu Bei and his talents.

Various situations are different.

But in the final analysis, they always have a reason. Either they like your personal abilities, your personal qualities, or their relationship with you...

But now, Zhao Yun is alone, except for his martial arts. He has no military achievements, no fame, no official position, and no background!

In this case, how could he recruit talents like Li Ru?

Why should people follow him?

As a result, Zhao Yun fell into a dilemma. It was really uncomfortable to have a good talent in front of him but could not be taken to his subordinates.

After thinking about it, he said, "Since that's the case, Brother Li invites me to talk, what are you thinking?"

Li Ru smiled and said, "I'm going to hide it from Brother Zhao, the matter of stealing your good horse has become an illusion, and no one is your opponent. In this way, my brothers and others' plan to use the good horse to gain Dong Zhuo's favor was dashed, and they had to think of another way. Inviting Brother Zhao to come, in fact, I wanted to invite Brother Zhao and join me to join Dong Zhuo. If Brother Zhao is with you, I believe that Dong Zhuo will meet me with your martial arts alone. In fact, we want to benefit from you!"

Li Ru said it very sincerely because he knew that if he wanted to gain Zhao Yun's trust, he had to be sincere. There were always loopholes in lies. If something went wrong and their efforts were wasted, it would be troublesome. Therefore, it would be better to tell the truth from the beginning.

Zhao Yun nodded. It was not difficult to understand that Li Ru had such an idea.

He raised the wine glass in front of him and signaled to Li Ru's three brothers. Zhao Yun drank it all, and then smiled and said, "I need to think carefully about the matter of seeking refuge in Dong Zhuo, and I cannot make a decision for the time being. However... I can go to Luoyang with the three of you, just to have a look."

He did not agree or refuse.

Changshan County is not close to Luoyang. If you go together, it will take at least ten days on the way. This period of time is just for cultivating feelings. You can also think of ways. If it really doesn't work in the end, Zhao Yun will give up.

After all, Li Ru is not enough to make him rack his brains and insist on others to serve.

That night, the guest and the host were having fun, and the three brothers Zhao Yun and Li Ru were drunk and called each other.

Two days later, Li Ru and others arranged everything in Heihu Village, and only brought more than a dozen of the most trusted confidants, and set out on the way to Luoyang with Zhao Yun.

On the way, Zhao Yun asked Li Ru: "Why do you want to join Dong Zhuo instead of continuing to run Heihu Village?"

Li Rudao: "As a bandit, everyone calls for a beating. My brothers were forced to do this at the beginning, so they came up with this bad strategy. Moreover, it is not easy to be a bandit. The government often sends people to clean up. In order to obtain information in time, more than half of the gains they gain on weekdays are given to those officials. It is really frustrating! In this way, we can only choose one person to surrender and do things under his command, so that we can achieve some success in the future, and it is not in vain for us to come to this world for a while."

After hearing this, Zhao Yun immediately understood that this must be Li Ru's idea. Li Quan and Li Yong were both simple-minded and well-developed men. They had absolutely no thoughts so delicate, and they would not consider them for such a long time.

There was nothing to say along the way, and everyone rushed to Luoyang for nearly half a month.

As the capital of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Luoyang's prosperity is indescribable.

The city is several meters high and hundreds of meters wide. The city gate is wide open. Countless people below line up to leave the city and enter the city. There are traffic jams. Just by looking at the flow of people, you can tell how prosperous Luoyang is.

This historical city, a thousand-year-old capital, is now in front of Zhao Yun, lying quietly there like a dormant giant beast.

There were many flags on the city tower, and the patrolling soldiers were full of energy. A general stepped slowly on the top of the city, his eyes scanning below.

Zhao Yun felt in his heart that in his previous life, he had only seen such scenes in film and television dramas, and was far from the stimulation he had witnessed with his own eyes. As he thought, after seeing Luoyang, his first reaction was not to be amazed, but to sigh.

Because he knew that if history did not change, then in more than ten years, this prosperous ancient capital would become a ruin, and the fire would not stop burning for a month!

The culprit who caused Luoyang to suffer this disaster was standing next to him at this moment!

Burning Luoyang was the strategy Li Ru gave to Dong Zhuo!

Thinking of this, Zhao Yun turned his head and looked at Li Ru who was full of expectations. He sighed. He didn't know if the young man in front of him, who was about the same age as him, would have thought that because of his words in the future, the Luoyang City would be turned into a ruin. What would he think?

After entering the city and wandering around the city for a while, Zhao Yun spoke.

"Brother Li, I have been thinking about it for a long time on the way, but finally decided to take a walk around for the time being and don't want to serve others. Since I have arrived in Luoyang, you and I will separate you. I wish Brother Li a smooth trip and a favor from Dong Zhuo!"

After thinking about it, Zhao Yun decided to give up recruiting Li Ru. First, there was no reason to recruit others, and second, he couldn't fool him even if he wanted to deceive him. Li Ru was undoubtedly a smart person, and it would not work to deal with smart people by just fooling him.

This is not a game. Even if you fool others for a while, when they find clues, they will inevitably leave in anger and will label you as a "scammer".

What's more, the Eastern Han Dynasty is still stable today, and its regime is far less weak than it will be five years later. If it weren't for the outbreak of the Zhangjiao Yellow Turban Rebellion, no one could tell how long the Eastern Han Dynasty's regime could be stable.

The chaotic times are still coming, and many things are difficult to do, and they all depend on the direction of the court.

He can't fool others, how can he fool them? Tell him that in five years, the world will be in chaos, and follow him to develop his strength and fight for the world in the future?

Then if Li Ru doesn’t treat him like a fool, there will be a ghost!

After Li Ru's incident, Zhao Yun also had a headache about recruiting Jia Xu. He couldn't even recruit Li Ru, so how could he recruit Jia Xu, who many people think is the smartest person in the Three Kingdoms?

A headache!

Li Ru kept paying attention to Zhao Yun along the way, and knew that Zhao Yun probably didn't have the idea to join Dong Zhuo with them.

So he nodded, said goodbye to Zhao Yun, and separated.

Leading the horse and walking on the streets of Luoyang, Zhao Yun smiled bitterly, let's find a place to stay first.

As he walked, Zhao Yun came to the entrance of an inn and looked up and saw that "there are inns"!

The name is quite interesting, and Zhao Yun didn't think much about it, so he walked in.

But as soon as he crossed the threshold, he heard a sentence that made him lose his mind on the spot.

"I said Xun Gongda, you are also from the Xun family in Yingchuan after all. You are a scholar. Why are you so silly? Where is your scholar's integrity?"

Xun Gongda, a member of the Xun family in Yingchuan?

Zhao Yun was extremely surprised. Is this Xun You?
