But Wang Ping immediately became unwilling. He has always been a bandit and has always been at odds with the government. Now that he wants me to go to the government, how can he let me go by the wayside? Then Li Ru said, it doesn't matter if you don't want to go to the government. Let's go back.
, simply join the Cao brothers, follow Cao Cao or Cao Zhi, it will be better than here.
Wang Ping became even more reluctant when he heard this. We were wrongly accused of being traitors by Bai Rao. After all, we were unjust. Justice is in the hearts of the people. There will be a day when the facts will be clear. But if we really go to join the Cao brothers, then we are really traitors. This
He couldn't do anything like having his spine stabbed.
Neither this nor that worked. Li Ru also became angry and asked Wang Ping where he wanted to go.
Wang Ping held his scalp and thought for a long time, but couldn't think of a place to go. Li Ru thought that he had no power to restrain the chicken. Without Wang Ping by his side, he might lose his life if he couldn't get out of Jizhou alone. Li Ru
Confucianism still needs Wang Ping, so he can only persuade Wang Ping to leave Jizhou with him first.
It is too dangerous for them to continue to stay in Jizhou. The Black Mountain Army wants to kill them and the Jizhou government wants to arrest them. There is no room for them to survive here.
Li Ru's decision may be said to be correct, and it also changed his life. If he had not encountered the incident in Qiao County, Cao Zhi, and the defeat of Sali Dog, his fate might have been different.
Having a relationship with Dong Zhuo, he may have lost his head at this moment. The appearance of Cao Zhi may have hindered the development of Li Ru and disrupted the original trajectory of the entire Three Kingdoms, but at the same time, it may have saved Li Ru, which one
It's hard to tell what's right or wrong.
At that time, Li Ru only knew the pain of not having money. When they went to prison, everything on their bodies had been stripped away, and when they escaped, they were penniless. Sometimes even a penny can kill a heroic man. The two of them walked together
He almost became a beggar. He thought about robbing, but he was afraid that if he showed up, he would cause trouble and attract the government and the Montenegrin Army to pursue him. Fortunately, Wang Ping also had martial arts, and he could earn money by buying martial arts at the downtown painting area.
A few dollars. Li Ru is good at fortune-telling, and with his sharp tongue, he can also defraud some money.
The two of them hid like this, and escaped from Dongjun without a meal. After crossing the Yellow River, Li Ru planned to run south with Wang Ping. There were Yellow Turban troops everywhere in the north, and they could not gain a foothold there.
Just go to the south.
He also screened the famous heroes and overlords in the south. He first thought of Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu came from a wealthy family and had a prominent family background. He was rarely known for his chivalry. He flew eagles and lackeys with various young masters, and later had a lot of troubles. He was filial and honest, and moved to Lei.
Henan Yin, Huben Zhonglang General. After Dong Zhuo entered Luoyang, Zhuo wanted to depose the Han emperor and appointed Yuan Shu as his rear general. Yuan Shu fled to Nanyang in fear of disaster, so there were people in Nanyang. Sun Jian killed Zhang Zi, the governor of Nanyang, and led his troops to follow Shu.
So Liu Biao, the governor of Jingzhou, recommended Yuan Shu as the governor of Nanyang. Yuan Shu was now very powerful in Nanyang, so they went to Nanyang to ask for an audience with Yuan Shu.
Li Ru and Wang Ping may have some status in the Black Mountain Army, but they are not famous outside the territory of the Black Mountain Army. Yuan Shu had never heard of these two figures, so he sent Li Ru to them without even meeting him.
Wang Ping sent him away. Later, when Li Ru inquired about it, he found that he already had a group of outstanding regular talents such as Sun Jian, all of whom had served in the Eastern Han Dynasty. He and Wang Ping were military advisors and leaders who came from thieves.
, people naturally don’t take it seriously.
Wang Ping was very angry at Yuan Shu's arrogance, but Li Ru was not discouraged. He defected to many prefects and heroes in Jingzhou, Yuzhou, and Yangzhou, but they encountered obstacles everywhere. Most of the nobles and heroes did not take them seriously. They were kind-hearted.
Send them some money to send them away, then let the dogs chase and bite them without any politeness.
Along the way, Li Ru and Wang Ping could be said to have suffered a lot and had to pay for their hardships in the world. Li Ru is a person who is good at summarizing and finding reasons. He summed up the reasons why he encountered obstacles everywhere. He believed that the reason why they did not succeed was because of their failure.
A very important reason is that neither he nor Wang Ping are famous. The little fame he and Wang Ping gained in the Black Mountain Army was only circulated within the Black Mountain Army, and outsiders did not even know about Li Ru and Wang Ping.
Ability. Why do those celebrities and strong men receive courtesy from some great heroes and powerful forces? Because they are famous. Li Ru decided to package himself and imitate Jiang Taigong when he was selling for a price.
He heard that Corporal Lu Kanglixian, the governor of Lujiang, was very successful in governing one side, so he decided to try his luck in Lujiang. This time he was not in a hurry to recommend himself, but stayed with Wang Ping in Wancheng, and first investigated Lujiang secretly.
Healthy people come.
Cao Zhi could almost imagine what happened next. The war between Lujiang and Jiangxia Man escalated for a time. Li Ru did not let Wang Ping directly demonstrate his martial arts and defect to Lu Kang. Instead, Li Ru chose to let Wang Ping lurk in the market and infiltrate the common people.
With Wang Ping's ability, Li Ru knew that he would become famous sooner or later. At that time, Lu Kang would appreciate people like Wang Ping who were not arrogant, and who emerged from the ranks of civilians like this, he would be wiped out.
Jing, Li Ru even helped Wang Ping weave a family background of an ordinary farmer. When Wang Ping established a foothold in Lujiang, he would lure Li Ru out at the right time and with the right opportunity, and the waterway would be completed.
Li Ru had a good idea, but he didn't expect that Cao Zhi would come to Wancheng and run to Dongcheng to have a life-and-death affair with Wang Ping. In this way, the original intention of the matter would not go against his wishes, but the result would be completely different.
.
After Cao An finished speaking, he looked at Cao Zhi. Cao Zhi looked at Xia Houyuan and said, "What do you think?"
Xia Houyuan touched his chin and was silent in thought.
Cao Zhi knew that he was chewing on the credibility of these things. Cao Zhi ignored him and asked Cao An again: "Where is Wang Ping now?"
Cao An's small eyes were moving lively. Hearing Cao Zhi's question, he quickly replied: "Brother Wang took leave when I came. He left his address for you before leaving." He handed over a piece of paper.
note.
Cao Zhi took it, looked at it, and handed it to Xia Houyuan.
Xia Houyuan looked at it, then at Cao Zhi, and said: "Then go and see what this dog-headed strategist is capable of!"
Cao Zhi didn't get what he wanted, so he quickly said that it was just what he wanted and he would go immediately. Xia Houyuan was still cautious and summoned Xu Zhu, Li Dian, Xia Houyuan and Cao An to go together.
Li Ru was not idle during this time in Wancheng. He also had a way of making a living - divination and storytelling.
During the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were no places like teahouses, but Li Ru opened a place similar to this. However, there was no tea to drink, but there was some food and wine to buy. He called this place the Ancient Storytelling Dojo.
At this time, Jiang Xiaman and Zheng Bao besieged the city, and every house in the city was closed. Cao Zhi and others found Li Ru's dwelling after twists and turns. At this time, there was a war, and no one had gone to Li Ru's dojo.
