Chapter 542: Li Ru's allegiance
Li Ru was silent for a long time and said: "It's not that you can't believe the Marquis of Jin, but the matter is very important, dare to ask the Marquis of Jin if you can give the next promise?" ”
"What promise?" Lu Bu was a little unhappy in his heart, the other party wanted to take refuge in the state, and he hadn't done anything for the state, so he wanted to make a request, and the virtue of such a person was also worth considering.
Li Ru didn't seem to care, and arched his hand: "If you take refuge in the Marquis of Jin, can the Marquis of Jin guarantee that there is no worry about your life in the Xia?" ”
"As long as you are a talented person, Benhou can guarantee that your life is worry-free." Lu Bu snorted coldly.
"Thank you, Marquis Jin!" Li Ru arched his hand and said: "This matter is very important, can the Marquis of Jin allow him to step forward and speak." ”
Lu Bu frowned, looked at Li Ru and nodded.
"It's not that you can't believe in the Marquis of Jin, but the identity of the Marquis is too shocking, can the Marquis of Jin still remember the Taishi?" Li Ru said in a low voice.
Lu Bu nodded with a calm expression, but his heart moved, could it be that the Wen Xu in front of him was the one who followed Dong Zhuo at the beginning.
"Under is the advisor under the Taishi's account, and the death of the Han Emperor of Chang'an also has a great deal to do with it." Li Ru said slowly.
Lu Bu's face changed slightly, and he glanced at Li Ru carefully, "Wen Xu is just a fake name, Ben Hou remembers that there is no such person as Wen Xu under Dong Zhuo." "Besides, the only people in Chang'an who can have anything to do with Emperor Han's death are the people in Chang'an, and when they have their hands freed, they will definitely clean up the rebels in Chang'an, it is not that the other party has noticed something and came to take refuge in advance, if this is the case, it will be a great blessing.
"Under Li Ru, the words are excellent."
Lu Bu frowned, the name Li Ru is not unheard of but too loud, Dong Zhuo's number one think tank, not to mention anything else, just Li Ru's achievements are enough to overshadow everyone, the two emperors died in his hands, such a character is definitely famous in the history books, but it will be infamous through the ages, it is undeniable that Li Ru is a talent, but such a talent, what will be the result after receiving it, accepting the remnants of the Yellow Turban is not the same thing as taking Li Ru under his command, The main reason is that Li Ru's reputation is too loud, and once it leaks out, it will definitely attract criticism from the princes.
After Li Ru finished speaking, he waited quietly for Lu Bu, and after having Lu Bu's promise, he believed that even if Lu Bu did not agree, he would not embarrass him.
After a long silence, Lu Bu said slowly: "Have you ever thought about what the consequences will be after taking refuge in Benhou? ”
"Could it be that the Marquis of Jin has also become a person who cherishes his reputation?" Li Ru said with a smile: "In the past, when the Marquis of Jin took and annexed the state, why didn't he care about the thoughts of the people in the world? Occupy the land of Hanoi and Hedong, and have considered the opinions of the people of the world? ”
"It's not that Benhou cares about reputation, it's that your identity is too special." Lu Bu sighed, why didn't he want to take Li Ru under his command, so the matter of capturing Chang'an became much simpler, and Li Ru was also a rare strategist.
Li Ru seemed to have expected Lu Bu to have such a reaction, and said in a low voice: "What if you can change your name so that people can't recognize you, and then join the Marquis of Jin." ”
Li Ru is also a restless person in his bones, otherwise after entering Luoyang, there would be no Dong Zhuo who is good at abolishing the establishment, and he also wants to make some merits, but at this time, there is no place for him in the world.
"Ben Hou is curious, why did you choose Ben Hou?" Lu Bu asked, and he had to admit that after Li Ru said this, he was moved.
"As a strategist's intuition, it can be concluded that the Marquis of Jin is not a generation who has lived under the people for a long time, the Han family is in decline, and the princes support their own troops, and the world is no longer the Han family, and the Marquis of Jin sits on the land of Merge and Youzhou, if you take advantage of the situation to occupy the land of Sanfu, and then capture Jizhou, capture Liangzhou and Yizhou, you can win the world." Li Rudao.
"Winning the world?" Lu Bu gasped.
Li Ru looked at Lu Bu quietly, waiting for Lu Bu's answer, the words were all said and done, if Lu Bu couldn't accept him, he could only live incognito.
After a long time, Lu Bu said: "Ben Hou can promise you, but you can't tell anyone about your affairs in Bingzhou, and the name Li Ru will not appear." ”
Li Ru bowed down and said, "Meet the lord!" ”
Lu Bu helped Li Ru up and said, "Can Wen You think of a name?" ”
Li Ru arched his hand and said: "From now on, the subordinate will be named Lu Ru." ”
Lu Bu nodded and said: "That's fine, Ben Hou will say to the outside world that you are Ben Hou's long-lost relative, so the problem of identity can be solved." ”
"Thank you, my lord!" Li Ru knew that this was Lu Bu protecting him, and with Lu Bu's words, he would not be embarrassed even after arriving in Bingzhou.
"Wenyou, what do you think about the matter of Chang'an?" Lu Bu asked, Li Ru must know Li Dao Guo Yan and others very well.
After sorting out his thoughts, Li Ru knew that the time had come to express himself, although the strategists had different methods, their purpose was roughly the same, and they all hoped that their lord could be more powerful.
"The lord, with all due respect to his subordinates, dare to ask whether the lord wants to assist the emperor, revitalize the Han family, and go down in history, or do he want to dominate the world and achieve eternal achievements?" Li Ru stared at Lu Bu with burning eyes.
Lu Bu felt that Li Ru's words seemed to have a demonic nature, any prince, I am afraid that they want to achieve eternal achievements, this is a huge temptation, to achieve a temporary fame, although they can be powerful for a while, what about future generations? There is no family that will never decay, otherwise there would be no such thing as a good bow for the birds.
"What about the assistant Han family? What about the fight for world domination? Lu Budao, such a remark, his advisers have not told him, and Li Ru is different, this one has murdered two emperors in a row.
"If you are to assist the Han family, with the ability of the lord, you can bow down to the saint, obey the order of the saint, crusade against disrespect, and merge the strength of the state army, why worry about not pacifying the land of Liangzhou and Jizhou, and the lord will definitely become the minister of the humerus of the Han Dynasty and be admired by future generations; Fighting for hegemony in the world, but it is completely different, although the lord sits on the land of Bingzhou, Youzhou, Hanoi, and Hedong, but Youzhou and the state are barren, and there is not much grain and grass, when following the example of Daqin, the distant and close attack, the lord broke the Jizhou army in Dangyin City, so that tens of thousands of troops in Jizhou were buried in Hanoi, but Jizhou is rich, Yuan Shao is quite famous, and you are the former lord of the princes, even if you lead the army to attack Jizhou, it is difficult to succeed. ”
Lu Bu nodded slightly, this is also what Jia Xu once said, even if Yuan Shao lost his troops, but Jizhou is still there, there is no shortage of strategists and fierce generals in Jizhou, even if he attacks Jizhou, it is difficult to defeat Yuan Shao, but we must always be on guard against the counterattack of the family in Jizhou, different from the family in Jizhou and Youzhou, the family in Jizhou is very powerful, even if Yuan Shao rules Jizhou, he also has an attitude of wooing these families.
