After Dong Zhuo's death, there was no strong person under his command who could integrate the entire Xiliang Army together.

If Niu Fu is not dead, with his prestige in the Xiliang Army and his identity as Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, it is possible to unite the scattered Xiliang Army together.

However, Niu Fu's death completely divided the Xiliang Army, a proud soldier.

In the past, there was a threat from the imperial court, but these people were still united. After they capture Chang'an, they will definitely start fighting for power.

Thinking of this, Li Ru's face appeared with a slight melancholy.

The current Xiliang Army, even if it is united, it is difficult to last long. If it is a plate of loose sand, sooner or later it will follow in Dong Zhuo's footsteps.

Although he thought so in his heart, Li Ru's face did not show it at all.

When he had finished washing, he put on his green shirt and crown again, and he became the wise scribe he had been.

At this time, Li Wei had already received a report from his subordinates, and hurriedly came outside the house, waiting for Li Ru to finish washing.

In today's Xiliang army, the soldiers are strong and brave, but they are very lacking in strategists. Although Jia Xu is resourceful, he will not do his best to help Li Dao and others.

At the beginning, Wang Yun liquidated Dong Zhuoyu's party, and Li Dao, Guo Yan and others were uneasy and planned to flee separately. Jia Xu is also Dong Zhuo's henchman, and for the sake of his own life, he offered them a plan.

Jia Xu said to Li Dao and others at that time: "I heard that Chang'an wanted to punish the people of Liangzhou, and the monarchs abandoned the crowd and went alone, that is, a pavilion chief can restrain the monarch." It is better to lead the crowd to the west, collect troops there, attack Chang'an, and avenge Dong Gong. Fortunately, the country is used to conquer the world, if it is not good, it will not be left behind. ”

When Li Dao and others heard Jia Xu's plan, they decided to lead their troops to rebel and attack Chang'an. It was precisely for this reason that Wei Yan of the Han Dynasty was once again trampled on.

It can be said that this is the first strategy Jia Xu has offered since his debut. His original intention of offering this strategy was just to be able to survive.

As everyone knows, it is precisely because of this strategy that the Han is pushed into a desperate situation. After the continuous disasters of Dong Zhuo, Li Dao and others, the princes of the world no longer have a sense of awe for the Han family.

This time, because Li Dao and others used Jia Xu's strategy, they had the glory of today's sword shoes in the palace and coercing the Son of Heaven.

Jia Xu himself can be regarded as a blockbuster.

After that, Li Dao and others attached great importance to Jia Xu and wanted to make him a marquis, but Jia Xu said: "This is a plan to save his life, how can he have any credit?" ”

Li Dao and others saw that Jia Xu resolutely did not accept it, and asked Jia Xu to shoot for Shang Shu, Jia Xu said: "Shang Shu is the commander of hundreds of officials and a role model for the world. I, Jia Xu, have never had any reputation, and it is difficult to convince people. Even if I can be greedy for vanity, what good is it for the country? ”

So Li Dao and others changed their worship to Jia Xu as Shangshu and were in charge of selecting talents.

Jia Xu repeatedly postponed the official positions awarded by Li Dao and others, which couldn't help but make Li Dao and others very jealous of him, thinking that Jia Xu did not really plan for them.

When Li Dao and others broke through Chang'an, they plundered the army, causing more than 10,000 dead officials and corpses.

Taichang Seed Buddha, Dahonglu Zhou Huan, Chengmen Captain Cui Lie, Yue Cavalry Captain Wang Qi and others were killed. Li Dao and the others killed all famous people all over the world, and they acted like this, even more unscrupulous than Dong Zhuo at the beginning.

Their killing has completely forced themselves to the opposite side of the world's corporal clans. In such a situation, there will be no celebrities to come to their aid.

So now, Li Dao and the others urgently need a resourceful person to plan for them with all their might. And the appearance of Li Ru undoubtedly made Li Dao see the dawn.

Dong Zhuo was able to change from a martial artist in Xiliang to a master who controlled the government. Everything in it is inseparable from Li Ru's dedication again and again.

Besides, Li Ru is not like Jia Xu, there is still a way out. It can be said that Li Ru's body has been completely labeled as a traitor and Dong Zhuo's minions.

Whether it was the things he did for Dong Zhuo, or the fact that he once killed the young emperor Liu Wei. all made Li Ru bear the sins all over his body.

It can be said that although the world is big, except for Li Dao and them, there is no place for Li Ru at all.

Therefore, when Li Dao faced Li Ru, he would not be as deeply wary as he was with Jia Xu.

Li Ru stretched his waist, walked out of the door, and was shocked when he saw Li Dao who was waiting to stand at the door.

He hurriedly strode forward and saluted Li Dao: "Confucian, I've seen the general!" ”

Li Ru can become a strategist under people like Dong Zhuo, which shows that he is not like other scribes, pretending to be high.

Li Ru's code of conduct is a bit similar to Jia Xu. Neither of them will offend people easily. Therefore, Li Ru's popularity in the Xiliang Army is very good.

Li Dao was overjoyed when he saw that this person was really Li Ru. He hurriedly stepped forward, hugged Li Ru and said, "I never thought that Wen You would be able to escape Li Su's poisonous hands. ”

"Now in my Xiliang army, there is a lack of resourceful people like Wen You. I don't know if Wen You is willing to work with us to plot great things? ”

Although Li Ru is not optimistic, the future of Li Dao and others. But in the current situation, he can't refuse Li Dao. So he opened his mouth and said, "I don't dare to ask for it!" ”

When Li Dao heard this, he was even more overjoyed.

If Re can have Li Ru, the number one strategist in the Xiliang Army, help him with advice. It won't take long for him Li Dao to be able to completely subdue Guo Yan and others and dominate the entire Xiliang Army.

Since the breakthrough of Chang'an and the threat of death has been gone, Li Dao's heart has begun to become restless.

At this moment, a voice sounded: "Military Division, Military Division, you are still alive, God bless my Xiliang Army!" ”

Li Dao raised his eyes and looked over, only to find that Guo Yan, Zhang Ji, Fan Chou, Jia Xu and others had come hand in hand. Although Li Dao was unhappy in his heart, he also knew that now everyone can only live by working together.

So Li Dao's face still has a smiling look.

Seeing a few people coming, Li Ru naturally stepped forward and greeted them one by one. When he came to Jia Xu's side, he took a deep look at Jia Xu.

In the entire Xiliang army, there is no one who understands Jia Xu's talent better than Li Ru.

It's just that Jia Xu is not keen on fame and fortune, and has always liked Taoguang to keep quiet. So even if he had recommended Jia Xu to Dong Zhuo several times, Dong Zhuo did not reuse him because Jia Xu's reputation was not enough.

And Jia Xu is also happy to be idle.

Regarding Li Ru's return, Li Dao and others naturally held a banquet to wash the dust for him.

After three rounds of drinking, Li Dao patted his chest and said: "The military advisor has a great talent, and tomorrow, I will go to Your Majesty and ask for an official position for you." ”

Li Ru shook his head and said, "If you kill the young emperor in the past, I'm afraid Your Majesty will not forgive my sins." ”

Li Dao said in a big way: "The military advisor should be worried, tomorrow I will go to the palace with my sword, and I guess the puppet emperor will not dare to disobey." ”

When Li Ru heard this, he was even more worried in his heart.

Now the power of the Xiliang Army is completely inferior to when Dong Zhuo was alive. But Li Dao and others did not learn the lesson of Dong Zhuo's death, and they still flew like this.

If you do so, you will not end well.

Thinking of this, he looked at Jia Xu, who had been silent, and couldn't help but feel deep admiration for his wise and wise actions to protect himself.

Jia Xu postponed the appointment of Li Dao and others precisely because he didn't want to be too involved with them. Even if Li Dao and others die in the future, he will be able to dissociate himself from them.

"Li Dao and the others are not masters, and they are not like the Taishi, who have the grace to know me. I'd better make a plan early and leave Chang'an, a place of right and wrong. ”

Early in the morning of the second day, Li Dao, Guo Yan and others took Li Ru into the palace and asked Emperor Xian to crown Li Ru as a servant.

Shizhong is a close minister of the emperor, and since the Western Han Dynasty, the power of Shizhong has become more and more great. After the Wei and Jin dynasties, Shizhong often became the de facto prime minister.

It can be seen from this that in order to win over Li Ru, Li Dao and others put a lot of thought into it.

But he didn't want to, after Emperor Xian saw Li Ru, he immediately said angrily: "Confucianism was ordered by Hongnong Wang Lang to kill my brother, and it is advisable to add the crime." ”

Emperor Xian's words very clearly rejected Li Dao's request.

And in his words, there is a very strong hint: Li Ru was the commander of Hongnong Wanglang, so he killed Hongnong Wang. If he was made his close minister, wouldn't he Liu Xie also die at the hands of Li Ru in the future?

Li Ru knelt on the ground and said: "What Dong Zhuo did was not Confucian's intention, and the innocent cannot be punished, and please let Your Majesty know it." ”

However, for Li Ru, who dared to kill the young emperor Liu Wei, Liu Xie was jealous in his heart. Therefore, even if he was very afraid of Li Dao and others, he did not give an inch and refused Li Dao's request.

For Li Ru, who was kneeling on the ground, Emperor Han Xian was also unmoved.

During this time, Li Wei was used to being powerful, and when he saw that Emperor Xian dared to refuse his request, he was immediately furious.

They then pulled out the swords in their waists and said sharply: "Your Majesty, I got this sword the day before yesterday, and I will ask Your Majesty to take a look at it today." ”

After speaking, he took the sword in his hand, with a hideous smile on his face, and forced Emperor Han Xian.

When Emperor Han Xian saw this, his little face turned pale with fright. But he also knew that he was still useful to Li Dao and others now, and he didn't believe that Li Dao dared to kill the monarch at all.

So he stiffened his neck, raised his head and said, "Li Ru killed my brother, his crime is unforgivable, how can he hold the position of a servant?" ”

"I remembered that he was persecuted by Dong Zhuo at that time, and it was okay to forgive him for his past mistakes. But if you want to give him an official, this matter has to be mentioned again! ”

When Li Ru heard the words of Emperor Xian, he immediately felt happy in his heart. He hurriedly knocked on the ground with his forehead, and shouted in his mouth: "So, thank you, Your Majesty!" ”

Then he stood up, stepped forward to grab the angry Li Dao, and said, "Your Majesty is the Ninety-Five, the general's sword, full of enemy blood. With such a murder weapon, how could it collide with His Majesty? ”

Li Dao's face was still angry, and he said, "But ......"

Li Ru interrupted him, smiled freely, and said, "I am already very happy to be able to receive His Majesty's forgiveness, how dare I expect anything else?" ”
