Let’s not mention what will happen to Yuan Shao and Cao Cao.
Speaking of Dong Zhuo's side, once Yuan Shao and Cao Cao leave, it means the show is over.
The rest of the time is all left to Dong Zhuo.
Therefore, Dong Zhuo began his own death-seeking journey according to the trajectory of history.
Because Dong Zhuo was afraid of the powerful family and wanted to curry favor with him, he made Yuan Shao the governor of Bohai and Cao Cao the governor of Dongjun.
Let Cao Cao take possession of Dongjun in advance.
Some people were also banned one after another, and several of these people later became members of the Alliance to Defeat Dong.
I have to say that Dong Zhuo is also pitiful.
He wanted to get close to the powerful family, but unfortunately the powerful family looked down on him, a Xiliang barbarian.
This is your courtesy in vain.
Dong Zhuo even wanted to bring Cai Yong to Luoyang and give him a high official position.
Li Ru promptly stopped his attempt to seek death.
In Li Ru's words: "It can be granted, but you must first consider whether Chen Yuan is willing to do so."
If Chen Yuan doesn't want to and his father-in-law randomly appoints officials and comes to Luoyang, aren't you afraid of death?
If Chen Yuan is willing, there is nothing more to say. He can just grant Cai Yong the title of Sangong.
Li Ru even wished that Cai Yong had a higher official position.
In this case, they may be able to get Chen Yuan's support.
Of course, they are thinking nonsense.
Dong Zhuo's only role was to clean up the old guys in the court and make room for Liu Bei and Jingzhou officials.
If Dong Zhuo dares to have unnecessary actions and behaviors, Guo Jia will definitely teach him how to behave.
Guo Jia now has complete control over Chen Yuan's layout around Luoyang, including the troops and personnel of the Eight Pass Captains. Guo Jia is able to mobilize more than 50,000 troops at critical moments with Chen Yuan's orders.
Yes, you read that right.
There are 50,000 people, and there are almost 20,000 people in the Eight Commands. Chen Yuan also infiltrated many of the Northern Army and Xiyuan Eighth Command in Luoyang City.
Therefore, at a critical moment, it is not a problem to mobilize 50,000 troops.
Moreover, a 50,000-strong army from Jingzhou has been hidden in Nanyang for a long time and can enter Luo at any time.
All in all, Jingzhou has prepared a hundred thousand troops.
Moreover, there are countless masters who have sneaked into Luoyang and are making various preparations.
This is a big plan, formulated with the participation of General Chen Yuan and the wise men under Jingzhou.
The name of this plan is Dengtian.
It means to let Liu Bei ascend the throne and become the emperor.
The most important link in this plan is Dong Zhuo.
Let Dong Zhuo kill the ministers, but not damage the people and buildings in Luoyang City.
This requires more detailed operations. After all, Dong Zhuo has Li Ru and Jia Xu, who has never been found.
Speaking of Jia Xu, I have to say that this guy is really a dog.
Very good at hiding.
Chen Yuan knew that Jia Xu was now under the command of Zhang Ji and was Zhang Xiu's uncle.
But no matter how Chen Yuan searched, he couldn't find this guy.
I don’t know what kind of reincarnation this guy is.
Could it be a rat spirit?
This is too good at hiding.
Before Chen Yuan went to Mang Mountain to refine treasures, he specifically told Guo Jia to pay attention to Dong Zhuojun's Li Ru and Jia Xu.
As long as we keep an eye on these two people, the problem won't be big.
No one else is worth showing off.
It's not that Chen Yuan looks down on them, it's just that Jingzhou's lineup is too strong.
Guo Jia alone is comparable to Jia Xu.
What's more, there are Xi Zhicai, Gu Yong, Xun You, etc., as well as the little guys who are about to grow up.
Although these little guys are still young, they are all extraordinary.
In this plan, these little guys participated and showed their extraordinary abilities.
In a few years, these little guys will be able to take important roles.
Chen Yuan expressed his relief.
Without further ado, Dong Zhuo was generously awarding rewards, and the Xiliang soldiers under his command were having a bit of fun.
They have been in the bitter cold land of Xiliang for a long time. When have they ever seen such prosperity as Luoyang?
The military discipline of the Xiliang Army was not good, so these Xiliang Army began to poison the people of Luoyang.
How could Guo Jia endure this?
You know, before Chen Yuan left, he specifically told him that the safety of the people of Luoyang must be protected.
In Luoyang today, no one can protect the safety of the people.
The only people on Chen Yuan's side were left.
Therefore, Guo Jia did not give any face to the Xiliang army at all, and directly punished the Xiliang army who poisoned the people on the spot.
Some people lose their heads in the middle of the night.
Moreover, Guo Jia didn't hide it too much. He dispatched people from Jinfeng Guard and Jiantiantai.
Chen Yuan completely handed everything over to Guo Jia, and even greeted King Qinghe before leaving.
After he went to Mangshan, Guo Jia acted as his deputy director.
Therefore, Dong Zhuo soon learned that hundreds of his Xiliang soldiers had been killed by the Jinfeng Guards and Jiantian Guards.
Upon hearing this, Dong Zhuo's eyes immediately turned red.
Let's talk about one thing. It's hard to say anything else about Dong Zhuo, but he is still very good at leading troops.
Especially his prestige among Xiliang soldiers.
This is inseparable from his ability to protect the interests of Xiliang soldiers.
Therefore, when Dong Zhuo heard that hundreds of his Xiliang soldiers had been killed, he could not help but jump.
But he was a hero after all, and he quickly calmed down.
Jinfengwei and Jiantianwei, there is only one person in the world who can command these two departments at the same time, and that is Chen Yuan.
Dong Zhuo felt numb at the thought of facing off against Chen Yuan.
After all, when Chen Yuan killed thirty-six spiritual beasts in the Nine Heavens that day, the scope of the battle almost spread to the entire world, and everyone could see it.
Dong Zhuo is no exception.
Dong Zhuo didn't think he could bear it. Even if there were 100,000 Xiliang cavalry, Dong Zhuo wouldn't have the courage.
But if you asked Dong Zhuo to bear this tone, he would not be able to bear it.
Dong Zhuo couldn't help but feel a little irritable.
"Wen You, what are you planning to do now? The bad breath in my heart cannot come out, and my chest is not smooth."
Li Ru was thinking about a question at this time.
That is, Chen Yuan had such tremendous military power, why didn't he directly support Liu Bei as emperor that day?
Some time ago, Li Ru did not consider this issue carefully.
But today's events couldn't help but make Li Ru start thinking.
This is a very important question.
I don't understand Chen Yuan's thoughts. It is very likely that the Xiliang army was put to shame by Chen Yuan who suddenly drew a five-color divine light from Mang Mountain.
Li Ru thought about it, but couldn't figure out why Chen Yuan was doing this.
So Li Ru said to Dong Zhuo: "Father-in-law, please be patient and let me go back and think about it. I will give you an answer tomorrow."
Dong Zhuo did not embarrass Li Ru, after all, he was his son-in-law.
Li Ru walked out of Dong Zhuo's mansion and instead of returning to his own mansion, he found Zhang Ji's mansion.
After being informed, Li Ru entered Zhang Ji's residence.
They are all old acquaintances, and Li Ru was not polite at all: "Is Wen He here?"
Zhang Ji nodded and took Li Ru to a room.
From the outside, this room looks no different from an ordinary servant's house.
But once you enter the room, all the furnishings and displays are definitely not at the level of a servant.
This is exactly Jia Xu's room.
Zhang Ji was wise and did not follow them in. Instead, he stood at the door and helped the two of them close the door.
Neither Li Ru nor Jia Xu showed any signs of surprise. It seemed that this was not the first time.
When Jia Xu saw Li Ru arriving, a bitter look suddenly appeared on his face.
"Wen You, you are here to harm me again."
Li Ru was already accustomed to this old friend's attitude. He obviously had unpredictable powers, but he was unwilling to show his sage in front of others. He didn't know what he was thinking.
However, although he could not be forced to actively serve, Li Ru could often rely on Jia Xu's power to analyze the world's affairs.
Li Ru was not polite. He knelt down opposite Jia Xu and poured himself a bowl of wine. Then he said to Jia Xu: "Wen He, I don't understand something, and I hope you can enlighten me."
Is Li Ru capable?
Naturally, it exists, and it is very strong.
He is very strong in terms of strategic overall situation and intrigue.
However, Jia Xu is stronger than him and is an enhanced version of Li Ru.
Therefore, Li Ru came to Jia Xu when he couldn't understand.
Jia Xu looked at Li Ru helplessly, knowing that he couldn't escape.
So Jia Xu said: "Let me guess, what is it that makes our military advisor Li unable to figure it out and is still so distressed?"
Jia Xu thought for a moment and came up with an idea: "With the current power of the Grand Master, there is probably only one person in the world who can make Wen You so sad. I guess this matter must be related to this person."
Li Ru didn't hide it: "Yes, it is related to Grand Tutor Chen Yuan."
Upon hearing that Li Ru admitted that it was Chen Yuan, Jia Xu immediately became interested.
You must know that Chen Yuan was looking for him again and again. If it weren't for some reasons, Jia Xu would have gone to serve Jingzhou long ago.
Because in his opinion, Jingzhou has the greatest chance of stabilizing the world today.
Li Ru said directly: "Wen He, I don't understand. With the power of Taifu's ten thousand-foot golden body to kill thirty-six spiritual beasts, I think there would be no problem even if he forced Liu Bei to become emperor. But why did he
No more, but instead went to Mang Mountain to refine some treasure. I don’t understand this, so I’d like to ask Wen He for advice.”
Jia Xu glanced at Li Ru and smiled slightly: "Can't you understand?"
"Yes, I don't understand. I don't believe that the Grand Tutor is afraid of the reputation of being a treacherous person. I think Chen Yuan is definitely not a loyal person. There must be something fishy in this."
Jia Xu nodded: "Wen You, you are right. Chen Yuan is not a loyal person. In my opinion, he is more loyal to the people of the world. So why didn't he directly support Liu Bei as emperor that day? The reason is that if
Doing so may cause harm to the people of the world."
"Then why did Chen Yuan support Liu Bei as emperor and hurt the people of the world? There is only one reason, and that is that there will definitely be various rebellions in the world, and there will even be huge turmoil in the court."
"Of course, these are just one of the reasons why Chen Yuan did not support Liu Bei as emperor. I guess the more important reason is that he might have tried to make a sword for Duke Dong?"
"a knife?"
"Yes, a knife stained with the Duke's bones."
Li Ru was shocked and stood up.
"You mean, Chen Yuan wants me, Xiliang, to kill the ministers above the court for him?"
Jia Xu narrowed his eyes and nodded: "That should be it. There are too many people in Jingzhou who don't like it in the court today. If Liu Bei becomes the emperor, it will be difficult to kill these people, and Dong Gongzheng is good at this."
Executioner, when Duke Dong has killed almost all of his people, I think Chen Yuan will come out of Mang Mountain, and by then the army of Jingzhou will have arrived in Luoyang."
What a scheming, good means, and a good plan.
However, since you let me, Li Ru, know about it at this time, it will be impossible for you to succeed.
Jia Xu seemed to see what Li Ru was thinking: "You want to stop Mr. Dong from killing people?"
Li Ru nodded: "That's right."
Jia Xu shook his head: "I advise you not to do so."
Li Ru looked at Jia Xu in confusion: "Why, if you really make this knife for Chen Yuan, you don't have to think about the consequences. You will definitely be killed by Chen Yuan to thank the world."
"But, do you think you can persuade Mr. Dong?"
Thinking of Dong Zhuo's character, Li Ru was a little silent.
In the early days, Dong Zhuo could still listen to what others said, but over the years, he gradually became more stubborn and more and more unable to listen to what others said, and he also became suspicious.
Even Li Ru often has to pay attention to the way he speaks.
Thinking of the resentment of the ministers in the court towards Dong Zhuo, Li Ru found it difficult to stop Dong Zhuo from killing people.
Li Ru looked at Jia Xu: "I know Wen He, you must have a way. Please teach me Wen He."
Jia Xu shook his head: "There is no way. Chen Yuan is scheming. The moment our Xiliang army steps into Luoyang, it means that we have no way back."
"Of course, it's not without life."
Li Ru looked at Jia Xu: "Where is the hope?"
"The hope is that you try to prevent the Xiliang army from disturbing the people. With Chen Yuan's temperament, he might give the Xiliang army a way out."
Li Ru heard what Jia Xu meant.
"The Xiliang army has a chance to survive. What about my father-in-law?"
Jia Xu glanced at Li Ru: "Dong Gong must die!"
Yes, Dong Zhuo must die.
If he had not died, he would not have explained to the world how Liu Bei would have ascended to the throne of emperor.
Besides, with Dong Zhuo's behavior, killing him would definitely not be an injustice to him.
"Isn't there a way to get the best of both worlds? Can't we just withdraw from Luoyang now?"
Jia Xu looked at Li Ru: "Didn't you notice when we entered Tongguan?"
"What did you find?"
"Didn't you notice something was wrong with the soldiers in Tongguan?"
"What's wrong?"
"The number of people is a bit larger, and they are a bit too elite. There are also strong people hiding among them."
Li Ru's face suddenly turned pale when he heard this.
He understood it, completely understood it.
Now the surrounding area of Luoyang has become an iron wall, completely blocked by Chen Yuan.
The Xiliang Army is now a dog imprisoned in Luoyang.
You must do what Chen Yuan wants. If you do it well, you may be able to save your life.
If you don't do it well, you will definitely die.
By then, not only Dong Zhuo will die, but most of the Xiliang army will also die.
Now the difficult problem is placed in front of Li Ru.
Should everyone die together, or only Dong Zhuo and some others should die.
