After hearing Li Ru's words, Zuo Feng almost hugged Li Ru and kissed him with excitement. If he stayed here any longer, Zuo Feng might not be able to support himself. However, even though Li Ru said this, Dong Zhuo has not agreed yet.
Zuo Fengdang turned his head and looked directly at Dong Zhuo, fearing that he would hear a word "no" from his mouth.
Fortunately, Dong Zhuo opened his eyes, glanced at Zuo Feng, and said, "Well! Mr. Zuo, you have worked hard all the way! Someone is here! Take Mr. Zuo to the guest room to rest!"
"Here!" Now Dong Zhuo has many soldiers and horses, and even those used in the house are all soldiers from the army. Following Dong Zhuo's instructions, even a tall and powerful sergeant rushed out of the door.
Bu walked out, cupped his fists at Dong Zhuo and shouted, and then made a gesture of invitation to Zuo Feng. Zuo Feng couldn't wait to leave here, and even if he left the hall in a hurry, there
A sergeant led him down to the backyard.
After Zuo Feng left, Dong Zhuo sat upright and glanced at the gate Zuo Feng had just passed through. His small eyes flashed with cold light, and he turned to Li Ru and said, "Li Ru!
This guy named Zuo Feng ate a lot of me back then! Now I don’t need to fawn over him anymore! As much as he ate, I want him to vomit it all out!”
Regarding the chill in Dong Zhuo's words, Li Ru seemed to have no feeling at all. He smiled faintly and said, "Father-in-law, please don't worry! My son-in-law will arrange it himself later! I won't miss this matter!"
"Well! I feel most at ease if you take care of this matter!" Dong Zhuo nodded with satisfaction, but he picked up the piece of brocade silk that he had thrown on the table in front of him, and looked at the densely packed words on it.
Dong Zhuo snorted coldly and said: "Zhang Ran, this old gelding! He really thinks of me as his slave! How dare you point fingers at me!" With that, Dong Zhuo grabbed the brocade and threw it away.
go out.
Seeing the brocade silk fluttering in the air, and finally falling gently on the floor, Li Ru stepped forward to pick it up, flicked the dust off it, and said to Dong Zhuo with a smile:
"Father-in-law, calm down! This is a concession, Zhao Zhong and others are not going to die soon, so why should I be so angry about them?"
"Oh?" Hearing Li Ru's words, Dong Zhuo's eyes couldn't help but light up, and the anger on his face immediately dissipated, and he asked directly: "Li Ru! Please tell me why Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong
Will his life be short-lived as you said?"
Li Ru smiled slightly, and he didn't know if it was Li Ru's habit, but he still looked a bit gloomy anyway. Li Ru slowly put the piece of brocade silk back on Dong Zhuo's desk, and said to Dong Zhuo: "
Father-in-law! Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others, to put it bluntly, are just relying on a group of eunuchs from the Han Emperor. With the Han Emperor here, they can live well and enjoy the glory and wealth! But if the Han Emperor is gone, they will
Life will be difficult for them, but if they can endure it, return to the bottom again, and slowly start to climb up again, there may be a glimmer of hope. But with their temperament, I'm afraid they won't be able to endure it, and they will definitely
They will take risks out of desperation! Unfortunately, although they have great glory now, they have no foundation in the court, and they have no military power in their hands. If they take action, they will only lose their lives in vain!"
After hearing Li Ru's analysis, Dong Zhuo nodded frequently, slapped his thigh for the last time, and said: "Li Ru, if you say so, we don't need to worry about this secret letter sent by the emperor?" Dong Zhuo pointed to the brocade on the table.
Silk, this is a secret letter sent by Zhang Rang to Dong Zhuo through Zuo Feng. The letter said that He Jin deceived the king and asked Dong Zhuo to quickly bring troops and horses to the king.
Li Ru shook his head and said: "No! Father-in-law! In my opinion, this is actually a good opportunity for my father-in-law! After suppressing the kingdom before, the court has been urging his father-in-law to return the military power! Although my father-in-law last time
I have already made excuses to shirk it, but those people in Luoyang will definitely not give up, and will definitely find various excuses to get back the military power from my father-in-law next time!"
"Huh!" Dong Zhuo snorted coldly, waved his hand and said: "You want me to hand over the military power? Impossible! I have endured for so many years and finally found such an opportunity to capture such a large army in my hands.
, how could it be thrown away casually?"
"Haha!" Li Ru smiled sinisterly again. I am afraid that only people like Dong Zhuo could bear Li Ru's laughter. Li Ru smiled and said: "What my father-in-law said is absolutely true! The world is about to be in chaos.
! Father-in-law is such a heroic figure, so he naturally wants to take advantage of this chaotic situation to carve out a hegemony! This military power is the foundation for father-in-law to dominate the world in the future, how can he be wrong? Therefore, the son-in-law thought that Zhang Rang used Dong as an excuse this time.
The Empress Dowager summoned her father-in-law to Luoyang. If her father-in-law could not take advantage of her plan and march to Luoyang with all her troops! If Zhang Rang and He Jin were evenly matched, his father-in-law would take advantage of the chaos and start a snipe and clam fight. The fisherman would benefit! Seize the city of Luoyang and control the Han Dynasty.
If you become an emperor, you can act like a king!"
Li Ru's words suddenly made Dong Zhuo's eyes flash with countless gleams, especially the last "overlord thing", which simply touched Dong Zhuo's heart. When Dong Zhuo went to Luoyang to meet the emperor, he saw that the Han emperor was very ill.
He looked like he was sitting high and high. This made Dong Zhuo, who had always respected the belief that the strong be respected, feel very unbalanced, and he had a disobedient heart early! After so many years of forbearance, Dong Zhuo could hardly bear it anymore.
I wish I could raise my army to capture Luoyang now and drive the sick Han Emperor off his throne!
When Li Ru saw Dong Zhuo's appearance, he immediately guessed Dong Zhuo's thoughts at the moment, and immediately said: "Father-in-law, don't be impatient! What my son-in-law said is only the best outcome! But then where can I go?
He has many capable men! In addition, the strength of his five battalions is not inferior to that of the Xiliang Army held by his father-in-law! So my son-in-law thought that Zhang Rang and others could not defeat He Jin!"
Li Ru's words were like a basin of cold water. With a swish, they extinguished the fire of enthusiasm that had just been ignited by Dong Zhuo. Immediately, Dong Zhuo had a cold face and said in a deep voice: "Then according to what you said, then
Why should we go to Luoyang? We might as well stay here, at least we can save a lot of food and grass!" The land in Xiliang is barren, and the food and grass problem has always been a top priority for Dong Zhuo. If he is marching and fighting, he will naturally consume more food and grass than
Usually more.
Li Ru replied unhurriedly: "Father-in-law! Staying here can certainly reduce the consumption of food and grass, but if something happens to Luoyang, the journey from Fufeng to Luoyang will cost a lot of money.
How little time! By the time we get to Luoyang after all our hard work, I’m afraid everything will be too late! In my opinion, it’s better to move the army to the east of Hedong, which is very close to Luoyang. If anything happens, my father-in-law can help him as soon as possible.
Get there!"
"Well, Hedong!" After hearing Li Ru's suggestion, Dong Zhuo couldn't help but narrowed his eyes, stretched out his hand to stroke the messy beard on his chin, thought for a while, then raised his head and asked: "Li Ru! As you said
Look, what are our chances of entering Luoyang?"
Li Ru just thought about it for a moment, and immediately replied: "Father-in-law, as far as I know, the situation in Luoyang City is more complicated than in previous years! I heard that the most favored person of the Han Emperor is the Prince Association, and he has been here several times.
He wanted to make Prince Xie the emperor! And He Jin wanted to support his nephew Prince Bian on the throne, so he had been advocating to the ministers in the court to oppose the Han Emperor's abolition of the elders and the establishment of younger ones! And the Han Emperor was in poor health now. This time Zhang
Rang Hui suddenly summoned his father-in-law to Luoyang precisely because Emperor Han couldn't afford to fall ill! Thinking about it, Emperor Han would not be so willing to let He Jin control the government, and would definitely take action against He Jin! If Emperor Han could survive a year,
By then, He Jin will definitely not be a match for Emperor Han, Zhang Ran and others! When the two sides fight, it will be when my father-in-law enters Luoyang!"
After Li Ru said this, he paused and frowned deeply, looking very distressed. In the middle of Li Ru's words, Dong Zhuo was so anxious that he almost didn't step forward to ask questions. Fortunately, at this time
Li Ru finally spoke again and continued: "If Emperor Han cannot survive this year, the situation will be complicated! Without sufficient preparation, Zhang Rang and others will definitely not be He Jin's opponent. He Jin
We are also waiting for the death of Emperor Han before we start to attack again! By then, I am afraid that He Jin will completely control Luoyang City!"
"Ah!" When Dong Zhuo heard what Li Ru said, he immediately became anxious. He stood up directly, walked quickly to Li Ru's side, stared at Li Ru, and asked: "If this is the case, then how can we
Isn’t there no chance at all?”
Li Ru immediately raised his hands and said, "Father-in-law, don't worry! That's not what my son-in-law meant! At least it's not that there is no chance at all! If it really comes to that point, judging from my son-in-law's point of view, where will my father-in-law's chances be?
Get into this guy!”
"He Jin?" Dong Zhuo looked at Li Ru with confusion, expecting him to give him a clear answer.
Li Ru nodded and said: "That's right! It's He Jin! He Jin was just an ordinary butcher! It was only because of Queen He that he was able to be where he is today! Although He Jin has been pretending to be a butcher over the years.
The appearance of a deputy corporal, but it cannot make up for the fact that this man has great ambitions and little talent! Although He Jin is powerful now, his son-in-law, He Jin, will definitely make a fool of himself when dealing with Zhang Rang! At that time, what will the father-in-law have to do?
The only thing is to keep an eye on He Jin. As long as he gives a chance, his father-in-law will definitely seize it! When the time comes, his father-in-law will lead the Xiliang army and station in Luoyang City. It is not impossible that he will have the opportunity to do the king's deeds! And this
It is also the reason why my son-in-law suggested that my father-in-law should station the army in Hedong. Only by being close to Luoyang can my father-in-law not miss his chance of fighting due to the long distance!"
