Chapter 095 From now on, you are the commander-in-chief!
Sili, Luoyang.
Prime Minister's Mansion.
Pa~~
Dong Zhuo stood up after snapping the case, his eyes widened with anger, and the veins on his forehead popped out: "What did you say? Li Fang was killed, Zhang Liao betrayed, and even led his troops to join Liu Bian?"
"It should be."
Li Ru tried his best to describe it in calm language, but it still made Dong Zhuo extremely angry: "Zhang Liao's battalion of soldiers and horses chased His Highness, but left no trace. There were only more than ten corpses including General Li."
"this......"
Li Ru's throat rolled and he forced to swallow a mouthful of saliva: "Although it is just a guess, Zhang Liao was originally a subordinate of He Jin and had no choice but to submit to the Wolf Cavalry. If Liu Bian recruited him in the name of He Jin, this person is very likely to submit."
"Damn it!"
Dong Zhuo gritted his steel teeth, anger rising into his throat: "Immediately send people out to search for him, and we must capture King Hongnong at all costs!"
"Prime Minister~~"
Li Ru did not agree, but bowed his head and hurriedly admonished: "Now the people in the world don't know that King Hongnong has escaped from Luoyang. If you pursue him with great fanfare, doesn't it mean that you are announcing to the world that King Hongnong has been under your house arrest?
?”
Hiss~~~
Dong Zhuo frowned and took a breath.
He nodded slowly and said with deep understanding: "Yes, it is indeed the case. But Liu Bian took away a group of soldiers and horses, and he was obviously unwilling to be inferior to others. Should we just let him go and let him torment in Nanyang?"
"Prime Minister, don't be anxious."
Li Ru took advantage of the situation and took over the conversation, saying with great interest: "Although Liu Bian has obtained Zhang Liao's first battalion, he must have the full support of the nobles if he wants to develop in Nanyang."
"I'm guessing that the reason why Liu Bian chose to go to Nanyang is related to his uncle He Jin being from Wan County in Nanyang. He must have wanted to use He Jin's power in Nanyang to quickly strengthen himself."
"So Prime Minister..."
Li Ru bowed deeply, and when he raised his eyes, his eyes were fierce and murderous: "We only need to destroy the foundation of the He family in Nanyang, and then we can completely cut off Liu Bian's destiny.
Then, in the name of the imperial court, a sea arrest document was issued, describing Liu Bian as a major criminal with extremely heinous crimes, offering a heavy reward, and making it difficult for him to move in Nanyang."
"in this way!"
Li Ruchang said angrily: "I believe that Liu Bian's army will be disbanded soon. As for Zhang Liao and others who followed him, I am afraid they will have no choice but to leave in despair."
"Hahaha!"
Dong Zhuo was ecstatic in his heart. He looked up to the sky and laughed loudly. He couldn't help nodding and praising: "Wonderful! This plan is really brilliant! This is much more powerful than sending a chase."
"Wenyou~~"
Dong Zhuo became more and more satisfied with Li Ru's performance: "You are really smart, so just do what you say. It just so happens that Niu Fu has come back from an errand, so I will let him go on this trip to Nanyang."
"Here."
Li Ru nodded.
Just as he was about to bow and leave, Dong Zhuo stopped him with a wave of his hand: "Wen You."
Li Ru paused and looked back: "Here."
"Li Fang died in battle, leaving a vacancy for the position of Lang Zhongling. From now on, you will be the position of Lang Zhongling."
"this......"
Li Ru was surprised and hurriedly refused: "Prime Minister, I'm afraid this is not appropriate. Confucianism is still young, how can you..."
Before Li Ru could finish speaking, Dong Zhuo hurriedly interrupted: "What's the point of inexperience? You are capable enough, not to mention that when you and Qi'er get married in the next year, we are a family. I want to see who dares to gossip!"
"That's it."
Dong Zhuo smacked the table with his fleshy palms: "From now on, you will be the doctor, but let's talk ugly first. If something like this happens again, you should understand what the consequences will be."
Li Ru nodded: "I understand, thank you Prime Minister for your support."
Dong Zhuo frowned and exhaled: "You will go to the Langzhong Ling's Mansion today to take up your post. The palace guards are the top priority and there must be no mistakes. Do you understand?"
"I understand."
Li Ru bowed and handed over his hand, and solemnly promised: "Prime Minister, don't worry, Ru will adjust the palace guards in the shortest possible time to ensure that this matter will never happen again."
Dong Zhuo nodded: "Well, you go ahead."
Li Ru: "Here."
Immediately.
Li Ru bowed and exited the hall, and went straight to the doctor's palace to take up his post.
He consolidated all the defense forces in the palace and began to rearrange the layout to make it more reasonable.
*****
Although Dong Zhuo tried his best to suppress the news of Liu Bian's escape, the news was so explosive that as long as there was a spark, a fire would reach the sky and burn all over Luoyang in an instant.
Inner city.
The Yuan family's residence.
The kind-hearted Yuan Wei suddenly turned his head to look at Yuan Ji, and the bamboo slips in his hand fell to the ground with a clatter: "What did you say? King Hongnong escaped from Age and has left Luoyang?"
"Um."
Yuan Ji nodded and said in disbelief: "I heard that it was on the day of the Winter Festival Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony that Taoist Shi Zixuan hid in the prayer team and sneaked out of the inner city."
"this......"
Yuan Wei was stunned, with a look of disbelief on his face: "How is this possible? King Hongnong has been under house arrest in Age and has never had contact with the outside world. How did he catch up with Shi Zixuan and how did he escape from the palace?
Woolen cloth?"
"Uncle~~"
Yuan Ji sighed and told Yuan Wei everything he knew: "Perhaps the Xiliang Rangers who suddenly appeared that day were just to find King Hongnong."
"hateful!"
Yuan Ji gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and the anger in his heart kept boiling: "The Xiliang Rangers failed to catch King Hongnong, but they caught me just in time, otherwise I would have escaped Luoyang that time."
Since the failure of the Winter Festival escape plan, Yuan Ji has been reflecting on which link caused the problem, but he has been thinking hard for several days without any results.
But today...
When he learned that Liu Bian of Age had escaped during the Winter Festival and had successfully escaped from Sheyuan Pass, he completely understood that it was Liu Bian's disappearance that caused chaos in the imperial city, and Xiliang soldiers surrounded Luoyang City.
, not just protecting the southern suburbs.
Damn it!
Yuan Ji's heart suddenly galloped with thousands of horses galloping.
This horse is no ordinary horse, but a famous grass-mud horse!
In order to escape from Luoyang, Yuan Kui planned three times, but failed each time and lost his troops. Dong Zhuo became more and more suspicious of the Yuan family. If there was no concrete evidence, he might have already attacked the Yuan family.
On the other hand, this is not the case with Liu Bian.
It was obviously a certain death situation, but I didn't know what tricks the other party used to contact people outside, and even planned such a huge conspiracy to help him escape.
Compared to...
The Yuan family's escape plan turned out to be so childish.
Even if the facts were before his eyes, Yuan Ji couldn't believe that such a grand escape plan was actually the work of a fourteen-year-old boy. With such ability, how could he be so scared by Dong Zhuo that he dared not speak?
?
I can’t figure it out!
Yuan Ji really can’t understand!
All this is like a dream, so unreal.
Even the wily Yuan Wei couldn't help but be stunned: "The person under house arrest in Age is really His Highness King Hongnong? How can he be so capable?"
"this....."
Yuan Ji shook his head in embarrassment: "I don't know, nephew."
Yuan Wei looked confused: "..."
⊙﹏⊙∥
a long time.
Yuan Wei suddenly realized something, and his eyebrows flashed with worry: "Shiji, where do you think King Hongnong will go after he escapes from Luoyang?"
"this......"
Yuan Ji paused for a moment, his eyes widened suddenly, full of horror: "He Jin is from Nanyang. If Liu Bian is ambitious, he must go to Nanyang. Uncle, the highway is also in Nanyang at the moment!"
"Do you think they will..."
Hiss~~~
Yuan Ji took a deep breath of cold air, and his scalp immediately became numb and his spine felt chilly.
He looked at Yuan Wei in disbelief: "Uncle, King Hongnong has such a scheme, and coupled with He Jin's status as nephew, a clan member of the Han Dynasty and the legitimate son of the late emperor, I'm afraid Gongdao is no match for him!"
Yuan Wei felt his resentment rising and his anger attacking his heart. He subconsciously covered his heart and endured the severe pain: "The only solution now is to hope for Dong Zhuo. He will not let King Hongnong develop."
"But uncle..."
Yuan Ji's throat rolled and he swallowed: "Dong Zhuo couldn't stop King Hongnong when he was in Luoyang. How can he be trapped when he leaves Luoyang this time?"
Yuan Wei exhaled a breath: "Don't forget, Li Ru is here."
