Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Poisoner Jia Xu
Luoyang, which was the capital of the most powerful empire in the East at this time, fell into a silent weirdness and silence, and the 18th princes outside the Guan, a total of 54 completed the army, defeated Huaxiong, and the troops were outside the Bishui Pass, and they could break through the Bishui Pass at any time and enter the Guannei.
The citizens of Luoyang City have looked at each other when they walk, and the joy hidden in those eyes all shows the excitement in their hearts.
In the lobby of the Xiangguo Mansion in Luoyang, the civil and military forces under Dong Zhuo gathered, Li Ru, who was wearing court clothes, came out of the column to salute Dong Zhuo, who was constantly walking back and forth: "Xiangguo, General Huaxiong was beheaded by a thief named Zhao Yun under Cao Cao, my 50,000 former army was defeated, and the princes of the Eighteenth Road had a total of more than 500,000 soldiers and horses, and the momentum was huge, and the forward general was Zhao Yun, who personally led the allied iron cavalry, and took the lead in marching. β
Li Ru paused slightly, gave Dong Zhuo some time to catch his breath, and then continued: "Also, the minister has just received a report, and the allies seem to have a tendency to take advantage of the lack of defenders in the Tiger Prison Pass to divide their troops to the Tiger Prison Pass, so in the minister's opinion, the Tiger Prison Pass is also in a hurry." β
Dong Zhuo, who was furious by the news that followed, no longer had any time and energy to curse Hua Xiong, who was already dead, compared to the eighteenth princes who were about to attack Guanzhong, at this time, he looked back at Lu Bu, who was standing at the head of the generals, and said loudly: "Lu Bu! β
&
Looking at Lu Bu, who was clasping his fists and saluting, Dong Zhuo said: "Immediately mobilize all the Xiliang people, and the prime minister will personally lead the army to battle!" β
&Fat! β
Glancing at Lu Bu who went down to mobilize troops and horses, Li Ru's originally somewhat dim eyes flashed again, at this moment he seemed to see Dong Zhuo's hope to regain his strength, if he could make Dong Zhuo sober up and cheer up from Luoyang's flower world, even if the allies finally hit Luoyang, he Li Ru would thank them.
Li Ru, who had hope in his heart again, was no longer at ease to be a microphone and be silent, thought about it for a while, and said to Dong Zhuo: "Xiangguo wants to personally lead the army to fight, it will definitely be a success, but the minister is worried that if Xiangguo sends troops to the city this time, the city may be safe." β
After listening to Li Ru's words, Dong Zhuo raised his eyebrows a little impatiently, raised his sleeves, sat down and said, "Make it clear, what does it mean." β
& You understand that most of the current ministers of the DPRK and the Central Government are the former ministers of the DPRK, and they have always been false and unkind to the Xiangguo, and you have always been submissive and unscrupulous on the surface, and their hearts are unpredictable, such as Yuan Shao's uncle, Yuan Kui, who is now the Taifu of the DPRK, when he learned that Huaxiong was defeated, he was happy to dance with his hands, Xiangguo, think about it, if you lead the army to send troops, once, if those ministers should cooperate with Yuan Shaoli, it will be more inconvenient. β
Although Li Ru's remarks are indeed correct, but in the same way, there are inevitably exaggerations, although there are still some fish that have slipped through the net after the last purge of the ministers of the DPRK and China, but the threat to Dong Zhuo can be said to have been greatly reduced.
As for Yuan Kui, when he heard that Hua Xiong's army was defeated, it was even more impossible, anyone who knew Yuan Kui knew that he was an old fox, and even the last time, Yuan Kui thought that he was sick and did not participate in the actions of Wang Yun and others.
The reason why Li Ru is so exaggerated is that there are two intentions, the first must be that he is worried that once the city is surrendered, there will be a rebellion in Luoyang and the alliance of the princes outside the Guanwai should be combined with the outside world, and the second is to follow this time, to purge Yuan Kui, a person who is more famous than Wang Yun.
With his understanding of Dong Zhuo, Li Ru dared to guarantee that after Dong Zhuo heard his words, he would definitely transfer troops to kill Yuan Kui, as for the reputation after killing Yuan Kui, Li Ru no longer cared, at this time, Li Ru, including most of the people in Dong Zhuo's camp, understood that unless Dong Zhuo finally dominated the world, Dong Zhuo's reputation was irreversible.
As Li Ru expected, after Dong Zhuo heard this, he only thought about it for a while, and then said loudly: "Guo Yan, immediately transfer troops to take down Yuan Kui's whole family, young and old, when you set out tomorrow, all the flags under the city gate will be beheaded and sacrificed, and the Xiliang army will march for me, hum, let those former ministers and ministers of the former dynasty see, this is the end of being secretly an enemy with me Dong Zhuo!" β
&Fat! β
After Guo Yan received the order to retreat, Dong Zhuo stood up, looked at all the civil and military officers who were listed, and said loudly: "Decree the three armies, after the prime minister sets out to fight, Cao Cao's head will be taken within five days, and Yuan Shao's head will be beheaded within ten days!" β
After the generals went down, Li Ru said to Dong Zhuo: "Xiangguo, the minister also has a JianyΓ¬, Xiangguo may not have to fight hard this timeγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»
Dong Zhuo looked at Li Ru with some confusion, but for Dong Zhuo's doubts, Li Ru smiled and did not speak, which made Dong Zhuo leave the main seat a little eagerly, and said while walking to Li Ru's side: "Oh, Li Ru, you make it clear!" β
Seeing that Dong Zhuo was so urgent, Li Ru was not selling more guanzi, anyway, he had already brushed his sense of existence in Dong Zhuo's heart, so he said loudly: "Among the princes of the Eighteen Roads, there was intrigue between each other in the past, how can they be of one heart and one mind today, the minister heard that part of the reason why Sun Jian was defeated was that Yuan Shu secretly did not send food and grass to Sun Jian, Xiangguo, why don't you make some divisive tactics and let the allies fall apart." β
A scribe in the back, who was about forty years old, looked at Li Ru and Dong Zhuo in front of him, his eyes flashed, and he said secretly in his heart: "Li Wenyou, Li Wenyou, even if you are a wise man like you, I didn't expect that there would be times when I couldn't see clearly and was anxious, Dong Zhuo was destined to be impossible to turn back into the original Xiliang hero from the time he fell into the world of flowers in Luoyang." β
In this way, as long as you provoke a little, the princes will fall into a melee, so that not only will you have time to help Dong Zhuo accumulate strength, but also take advantage of the defeat of all the princes, send troops to sweep the world, the plan is a good plan, but unfortunately, this plan will not succeed from the beginning. β
Li Ru would be shocked if he knew that what he was thinking was completely known by this inconspicuous scribe in the rear, and of course Cao Cao would also be shocked if he knew the name of this scribe, just because the name of this scribe was added as Jia Xu.
Li Ru fell into the situation of the authorities, so there were some things he didn't expect, but Jia Xu was different, he stayed out of the matter, and from the beginning he thought of the flaws of Li Ru's plan, that is, compared to the fame and huge benefits that can be obtained after the success of Dong Zhuo, cooperating with Dong Zhuo, not only the reputation has plummeted but also the benefits are not much, it can be said that as long as a person with a mind is not confused, he will know what to do.
& Zhuo's ship looks like it's about to sink too, it seems that I have to prepare a way out before I can do itγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»" Turning around and taking one last look at the tall and magnificent Xiangguo Mansion, Jia Xu's heart flashed with such a thought.
