Dong Zhuo was able to enter Luoyang and occupy his heels, and he had nothing to do with Li Ru, and it was not too much to say that half of it was his credit.

If Dong Zhuo had completely obeyed him and didn't grab Diao Chan with Lu Bu, he might not have capsized in the gutter.

After Dong Zhuo's death, Lu Bu and Wang Yun wantonly hunted and killed important people in the Xiliang Army, and with Li Ru's talent, he would not have reacted in advance and was captured without resistance.

Cao Cao thought for a while and said: "You mean, Zhang Xiu somehow saved Li Ru, and then listened to his advice and led the troops to garrison Wancheng?" ”

Xun You nodded and said: "There is this possibility, otherwise Zhang Xiu would not be so determined to garrison Wancheng." ”

Cao Cao said: "If this is the case, then I really can't promise Zhang Xiu, Li Ru is a person, not to be underestimated." ”

Xun You said: "But our army only has 10,000, and I am afraid that Li Ru will also guess it, so Zhang Xiu will be determined, and the lord has no choice." ”

Cao Cao thought for a while and said, "Then this Li Ru, can he surrender?" ”

Xun You thought for a while, nodded and said: "The chance of success is still very large, as can be seen from the fact that he asked Zhang Xiu to surrender." ”

Cao Cao said: "Since this is the case, you can agree, if Zhang Xiu loses someone to assist, there will not be much threat." ”

In a few words, the two guessed what had happened, and made a plan, Xun You rested for a day, and hurried back to Wancheng.

Zhang Xiu learned that Xun You rushed back again, and he was overjoyed, but after Xun You left, he asked the person again and got guidance.

The two met again, and the atmosphere was better than last time, and they exchanged polite words and took their respective positions.

Xun You sat down and said slowly: "The general's request, Cao Gong has agreed, and it will come in about a day, does the general need to prepare." ”

Zhang Xiu smiled and said: "This is natural, Lord Xun can rest assured, the general is ready, just waiting for Cao Gong to arrive." ”

The surrender and handover of a city, under the second meeting, was unexpectedly and smoothly reached, which made Xun You unexpected, and at the same time, he was even more convinced that there was someone behind Zhang Xiu to guide him.

Xun You asked casually: "I heard that the essence of the Xiliang Army has been taken under the command of General Zhang, I don't know if there is such a thing?" ”

Zhang Xiu shook his head and said: "Yes, this will be the weakest of the Xiliang Army, otherwise it would not have withdrawn from Chang'an back then." ”

Seeing Zhang Xiu's answer, Xun Yu knew that the opportunity was coming, so he hurriedly took a step closer. "The general is modest, Guo and Li are destroyed, and the general is alone, isn't it enough to prove it?"

was praised by Xun You, Zhang Xiu was also fluttering, and said casually: "Where, where, Mr. praised me, Ben will just know current affairs and know how to preserve." ”

Xun You said: "The general is really a smart person, and from the perspective of his style, he is really a rare talent. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Xiu didn't want to think about it and said: "That's it, all this is just Li ......"

Halfway through the words, Zhang Xiu suddenly woke up, but it was too late.

Xun You saw that he had spoken, and hurriedly asked, "Why did the general say half of it, is it Li Ru's advice for you?" ”

How does he know?

No way?

Li Ru's residence was secretly arranged by himself, and every time he went, he disguised himself in advance, and no one would know about it at all.

Could it be that he always knew that Li Ru had made suggestions for himself, so why did Cao Cao still agree, was all this their conspiracy?

Seeing Zhang Xiu's ugly face, Xun You knew that he had guessed correctly, so he continued to further pressure mentally. "General rest assured, since we have surrendered, then you and I are serving the same master, and if you have anything to say, you can't say anything."

Oh, yes?

Since he has chosen to surrender and Cao Cao has agreed to his request, what can not be said.

However, just in case, Zhang Xiu decided to ask first. "I don't know if Gong Cao is here, who is stationed in this Wancheng?"

Hearing this, Xun You knew that Zhang Xiu wanted to leave the safest way back for himself to avoid Cao Cao's remorse.

In order to calm Zhang Xiu's heart, Xun You said: "The general can rest assured, this Wancheng Cao Gong will not lead his troops to enter, and the general will still garrison it." ”

After receiving an affirmative reply, Zhang Xiu nodded and said, "Okay, the matter has come to this point, and it will come truthfully." ”

It turned out that Li Ru, when he learned that Liu Xie was going to abdicate to Dong Zhuo, felt that something was wrong, and kept persuading, but unfortunately it was not adopted.

After Dong Zhuo entered the palace, Li Ru did not follow, but found a dead man who was similar to himself, became a substitute for the dead ghost, and hid himself.

escaped a catastrophe, Li Ru was already desperate for his career, from Xiliang to Luoyang, he did his best to Dong Zhuo, but unfortunately, in the end, it ended like this.

Regardless of whether it is right or wrong, Li Ru is wrong, but as Dong Zhuo's first strategist, he has an unshirkable responsibility.

Li Ru was flustered and secretly escaped from Chang'an, trying to find a place to live in seclusion.

That wanted to be denounced and sent to Chang'an, just at this time Jia Xu persuaded the generals of the Xiliang Army to fight back, and Zhang Xiu, as the leading pioneer, saved him by chance.

In this way, Li Ru hid under Zhang Xiu, and occupied Chang'an with Guo and Li, persuading Zhang Xiu to leave first to avoid being poisoned here.

Zhang Xiu is a person who can listen to advice, not to mention the words of a wise man, so he persuaded his uncle to lead the army away.

Not long after coming to Wancheng, Zhang Xiu's uncle died, Zhang Xiu succeeded to the throne, and he also wanted Li Ru to become a leader, but Li Ru has always refused, so he broke off his thoughts, and only when the major matter is undecided, he will go to ask for a plan.

According to what Zhang Xiu said, everything has been pulled out of the clouds, and Xun You also has a plan in his heart.

After Zhang Xiu's words were finished, Xun You said: "I don't know if the general can introduce him, let You go and meet him." ”

This request made Zhang Xiu embarrassed for a while, if Li Ru agreed to Xun You's request and went out to Cao Cao, then if he had any questions in the future, there would be no one to ask.

Seeing that Zhang Xiu didn't answer, Xun You said: "I wonder if the general is sincere and willing to surrender?" ”

"Huh?" Zhang Xiu said with a displeased face: "Ben Jiang naturally surrendered wholeheartedly, why did Mr. ask this, did he want to regret it?" ”

Xun You smiled and said: "The general is too worried, since he really surrendered, why don't you dare to recommend, if you are worried that there will be no one under your command to help you in the future, Cao Gong can be sent to one person, what does the general think?" ”

If it is really as Xun You said, Zhang Xiu will never have a chance to rebel again, and can only do things for Cao Cao.

But Zhang Xiu is sincerely taking refuge, and there is no problem with this request, after all, it has little to do with his position under Cao Cao.

Xun Yu this method can block the road before and after Zhang Xiu, so that he has no place to detour, unless he starts a war with Cao Cao, or agrees to be introduced and sincerely joins Cao Cao's command.

Zhang Xiu thought for a long time, and finally said helplessly: "Okay, since Mr. asked, then the general will take you there, but whether Li Ru wants to see you or not, then the general can't be the master." ”
