After listening to the causes and consequences described by Li Ru, Liu Zhang still believed it.
Dong Zhuo was born into a wealthy family in Liangzhou. He practiced martial arts since he was a child. As an adult, he fought against the Qiang people for many years and became very brave.
Dong Zhuo's sturdy appearance makes it clear at first glance that he is no ordinary man.
Compared to Liu Zhang, who has been exercising for several years, he is no less generous!
Dong Zhuo relied on his bravery and was very happy to achieve great achievements. Now that he has soldiers and generals, how can he endure such great achievements?
Seeing Dong Zhuo shaking his head and sighing, Liu Zhang couldn't help but offer words of comfort.
"Victory and defeat are common matters for military strategists, General Dong does not have to do this!"
Dong Zhuo seemed not to have heard Liu Zhang's words and was still thinking about his sorrow.
Li Ru looked at Liu Zhang with a sad face, and there was deep sorrow in his words.
"The general doesn't know anything. The imperial supervisory army is here and will report the situation truthfully. This time I lost my troops and lost my generals, my father-in-law may not be able to escape death!"
No, you can't die! Liu Zhang was shocked, he couldn't let Dong Zhuo die.
But it suddenly occurred to me that in history, Dong Zhuo besieged Quyang for several months and did not lose any troops. He just returned without success. He was also punished for a serious crime!
If he hadn't bribed the Ten Constant Attendants, it's hard to say whether he could have survived.
Now that the loss of troops will be serious, it is hard to say whether he will be executed.
Liu Zhang was very depressed because he did not want to give Dong Zhuo the credit for killing Zhang Jue.
"Now that the yellow turban thief Zhang Jiao is dead, perhaps His Majesty Long Yan Dayue can avoid death!"
Liu Zhang first tried to test it. After all, Dong Zhuo had someone in power, and as long as he was willing to spend money, he should be exempted from death penalty.
Li Ru's little eyes turned twice and looked at Liu Zhang expectantly.
"The general has made such great achievements, can you share some with my father-in-law?"
But after Li Ru said this, he blushed.
Why did Liu Zhang divide you from Dong Zhuo? He originally came to rescue you, but you wanted to leave Liu Zhang and run away.
Liu Zhang glanced at him, thinking that this man was too shameless to say such things!
He abandoned his troops and ran away, almost losing his life.
Now that I have saved you, not only are you not grateful, but you also want to share the credit!
Seeing Liu Zhang's expression, Li Ru felt guilty for a while, but he had no choice but to beg Liu Zhang shamelessly.
"If the general doesn't save us two, we will definitely die!"
Dong Zhuo also regained his composure and spoke softly to Liu Zhang.
"Yes, brother, as long as you can help my brother once, just tell me if you have any instructions! My brother owes you a favor!"
Liu Zhang squinted his eyes, obviously calculating the gains and losses.
Dong Zhuo's favor must be useful. After all, Dong Zhuo will control the emperor for a period of time, and it will definitely help Liu Zhang.
But will he admit it in the future?
Dong Zhuo was either a gentleman or a greedy villain.
correct!
Liu Zhang's eyes suddenly lit up. He thought of someone, looked at Li Ru and asked:
"I am willing to help General Dong, but I need Mr. Li's help with something."
"General, please tell me, as long as Li Ru can do it, I will never refuse!"
"Mr. Li, you don't have to be like this. I just want to get to know someone, but I have no connections. I would like to ask Mr. Li to help introduce him!"
"Oh? Who does General Liu want to get to know?"
Li Ru was very puzzled after hearing this. He knew the people in this three-acre land in his hometown, and they didn't all agree with him.
"This person's surname is Jia, his given name is Wenhe, and he is from Guzang, Wuwei County. Mr. Li must be very familiar with him!"
Liu Zhang put his hand on his chin and looked at Li Ru with excitement.
Li Ru looked at Liu Zhang with a dazed look in his eyes, an uncertain expression, and did not answer.
"Wen You, do you know this person?"
Dong Zhuo was anxious, now this person was related to his life and death!
After a long moment, Li Ru nodded.
"Jia Xu is the successor of Jia Yi. The Jia family has lived in Wuwei for a long time and is an orthodox Confucian wealthy family. However, Jia Xu is a branch of the Jia family and his family is poor. He is now in his thirties. He was promoted as a filial and honest man in his early years and resigned due to illness. Today
Stay at home."
Liu Zhang was overjoyed and his tone was a little excited.
"Yes, this is the person! Sir, can you introduce me to him?"
Dong Zhuo stared at Li Ru with wide eyes, fearing that Li Ru would say no.
"Why."
Li Ru smiled bitterly and sighed. It seemed that it would be impossible without an introduction. Even Dong Zhuo would not be able to survive.
"General, you have found the right person. Jia Xu owed me a favor many years ago. This man is extremely intelligent. I wanted to use this favor to recruit him for my father-in-law."
When Dong Zhuo heard this, he was in great distress. His life was almost gone, so why did he recruit any talents?
"It's enough that I have a good son-in-law. You'd better introduce him to General Liu as soon as possible!"
"That's alright. In that case, I'll write a letter and ask him to come find the general. But whether the general can keep this person depends entirely on the general himself."
"Hahaha, okay, as long as Mr. Li can find him, I'll be satisfied!"
Liu Zhang was so elated that he never expected such a big gain!
Jia Xu is a man who does not take action easily. Once he takes action, he will definitely hit the critical point. He is very similar to Liu Zhang's idea of leading troops.
Moreover, Jia Xu is very good at conspiracy. If he has his assistance, no matter who plots against Liu Zhang, he will never escape his eyes!
In the future, Zhuge Liang will be found again. Once the two of them are combined, who in the world will be invincible?
Thinking of this, Liu Zhang suddenly smiled.
"Ahem."
Dong Zhuo coughed lightly and reminded Liu Zhang that it was time to fulfill his promise.
"Yeah."
Liu Zhang came to his senses and expressed his gratitude twice to ease the embarrassment.
"I'll take care of General Dong's affairs!"
Dong Zhuo finally felt relieved when he saw Liu Zhang nodding in agreement.
"It's so good! It's so good!"
Li Ru lowered his head and kept pitying that Jia Xu was such a talented person, so he just passed it on to Liu Zhang.
"General Liu, in your opinion, how should we advance the army?"
Liu Zhang did not answer Dong Zhuo, but pointed to Li Ru aside.
"Mr. Li is a wise man, how dare I try to do anything for him!"
"Eh."
Li Ru waved his hand quickly, "I'm just a little smart and not good at marching and fighting. Please give me some advice from General Liu!"
"Okay, I'll tell you my opinion."
Liu Zhang nodded to the two of them: "Now our army has suffered a new defeat, and the soldiers have suffered heavy casualties. Fortunately, Zhang Jiao is dead. Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang will definitely retreat to Xiaquyang. We can occupy Guangzong, gather the soldiers, and wait for support."
Dong Zhuo was a little dissatisfied. According to his opinion, now that Zhang Jiao was beheaded, he should quickly advance his troops.
"Why not go and attack Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang? Can't we decide the outcome in one battle?"
Idiot! Liu Zhang cursed in his heart, but still explained to Dong Zhuo.
"Now that Zhang Jiao is killed in battle, the remaining Yellow Turbans will definitely gather in Quyang, and the number of soldiers they can fight will be no less than 100,000! How can we fight against the enemy with less than 30,000 of us?"
"What's more, Zhang Jiao died in battle, and the Yellow Turban soldiers have become mourning soldiers. We must know that the mourning soldiers will win! We are extremely unaware of our advance at this time!"
"I heard that Huangfu Zhonglang has defeated the Yellow Turbans of Dongjun and will come to Hebei for reinforcements in the near future. All we have to do is wait for General Huangfu. When the time comes, we can unite our forces and win the battle!"
Dong Zhuo looked at Li Ru with questioning eyes.
He wanted to directly attack and destroy the Yellow Turbans before the court punished him, so that the merits and demerits would be equalized.
Li Ru shook his head slightly. Liu Zhang's words were very reasonable. If we attack now, we will definitely lose more and win less!
