This first battle is most likely a play, so Zhao Yun doesn't care, he is not really afraid of Lu Bu, but knows that if he fights with Lu Bu, then he is likely to fall into an endless battle.

But this can't be the case at this time, the current arrangements are not ready, it is not the time for a decisive battle, and it is not the time for him to fight with Lu Bu.

"The whole army will rest tonight, and tomorrow we will go together to meet Na Lu Bu, Dong Zhuo will only have this one general, block him, see what other means Dong Zhuo has." Since he is handsome, Xu Rong will not dwell on the issue of his own force, but focus on the overall situation and set a strategy.

"That's fine." After reviewing the details, he also nodded, looked at Zhang Fei again, and asked, "Where do you want to fight Na Lu Bu?" ”

"On a plain more than ten miles to the northwest, there is an unobstructed view of the surroundings, and it is difficult to ambush." Zhang Fei is not stupid, he doesn't want to fall into the hands of Lu Bu, although his strength has improved a lot, but against Lu Bu, who everyone boasts, no general dares to say that he can win steadily.

He had also prepared for a battle with Lu Bu, and he had also observed the surrounding terrain, so he was naturally prepared for the location of the battle.

"The place is good, don't bring infantry when the time comes, only cavalry, even if there is an accident, it will be easy to retreat." The judge looked at the map, probed a little with mental power, and there was nothing unusual, so he proposed, after all, the pure plain terrain is very advantageous for the cavalry.

Xu Rong and the others instantly understood what he meant, and Xu Rong nodded and agreed: "Well, that's good, but please prepare more when the military division arrives." ”

Early the next morning, with Zhang Fei as the vanguard, Zhao Yun as the deputy general, and Xu Rong commanding the three armies, they slowly killed towards the plains more than ten miles away in the northwest.

Among Dong Zhuo's army, Lu Bu was the main general, Gao Shun was the vanguard, at this time Lu Bu rode a red rabbit horse and carried Fang Tian's halberd, exuding absolute coldness and ran towards the place where he had made an appointment before, Dong Zhuo had calmed down a lot under Li Ru's persuasion overnight, at least he knew what not to do, and he was waiting for the result in the city.

"Fengxian, is your wife and daughter more important or your future more important?" Lu Bu's mind came up with a question that Li Ru had asked him last night.

"My wife and daughter, and my future are very important to me!" Lu Bu said categorically, "I, Lu Bu, have the force to dominate the world, why not create the feat of sealing my wife and son?" ”

"What if I could only choose one?"

"How is that possible?"

"Hedong Guan Yunchang, Changshan Zhao Zilong, Nanyang Huang Hansheng, Feng Xian has absolute confidence in these three?" Li Ru's eyes crossed with a touch of sadness at this time and said, to this extent, he must not let Lu Bu go on the wrong path, even if Lu Bu rises up to the idea of riding the world, he will douse it with a basin of water!

Although he is Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, Li Ru knows that Dong Zhuo will most likely not have a good result, and if Lu Bu really has an undying grudge with the DPRK, then in the future, the world is so big, Lu Bu will have no way out.

At least in today's situation, the Han Dynasty is likely to usher in an empress, and even, this time will not be too long, that has been regent for more than three months, although there is still the Queen Mother He Mi Linchao on the surface, but the Han Dynasty has no emperor for these three months, and at this time the decree is basically from the regent, not like the emperor, but the power of the emperor.

Among the fifteen states of the Han Dynasty, Jizhou, Youzhou, and Liaozhou, which were originally ruled by the regent, are not to mention, and Bingzhou and Yongzhou are almost all under the radiation of that person's power, and the Qingzhou family belongs early, and after the Yellow Turban knelt down, Qingzhou no longer has a problem.

The land of the four wars in Yanzhou, there is no leader in the warrior clan, it is easy to be taken, the division is subordinate to the imperial capital, and now the army is gathered here, although there are many scholars in Yuzhou, facing the power of the army, but they can't do any small moves.

Now, among the fifteen states of the Han Dynasty, Liangzhou, Xuzhou, Yangzhou, Jingzhou, Yizhou, and Jiaozhou have not yet been completely controlled by the regent.

However, Jingzhou fought with the Yellow Turban before, and there was a lot of loss, although a group of good soldiers and strong generals were trained, but they were coerced north by Huangfu Song and sent to that command, and Jingzhou did not have the strength to resist.

And Yizhou Tianxian, the regent moved the Yellow Turban Army Taiping Road to Hanzhong, and Zhang Lu, the Wudou Midao in Hanzhong, how is Zhang Jiao, the opponent of the chaotic world, in a short period of time, he was defeated and lost, and Yizhou Tianbao is no longer enough.

Therefore, now there are only Xuzhou, Yangzhou, Jiaozhou, and Liangzhou, and now the strategic goal of the DPRK and China is also the only threatening Liangzhou.

Xuzhou, Yangzhou, although rich, but but only defensive power, and no enterprising heart, although there are many scholars, most of them can only be called Haoqiang, Jiaozhou is remote, it is not to worry.

It is also Liangzhou, located in the Western Regions, a bitter cold land to raise fierce people, if someone takes this as the foundation, they can threaten the Central Plains, but this point was detected early by the one.

"Tomorrow I will take the head of Zhao Yun's neck!" Lu Bu naturally didn't care, he said arrogantly.

Such a momentum made a memory appear on Li Ru's face, and the same was true of Dong Zhuo back then, what a heroic martial artist, it's a pity! People are changing after all, but Dong Zhuo can't turn back, and Lu Bu, the life-saving benefactor, can't fall into this situation.

"What about Zhao Yun when he dies? Feng Xian, can you defeat Guan Yunchang again, and can you defeat Zhang Fei and Wen Chou together? Even if there is no them, there is no Huang Hansheng, but there are more than 100,000 warriors in the Northern Regions, can you defeat them? Li Ru whispered as if asking himself.

"......" Lu Bu opened his mouth and didn't speak, this is not a hundred thousand herdsmen on the grassland, but a soldier, a soldier wearing light armor and heavy armor, Lu Bu is even a 10,000 enemy, but if he kills 10,000 people, there are 90,000, and he will be exhausted to death after all.

Moreover, ask yourself, Lu Bu is really not necessarily the opponent of Zhao Yun who commands a strong army, otherwise he would not have fled in a hurry before, because the army was less than the enemy at that time, and to defeat them when the troops were inferior to them, and the generals who had to rely on the commander to win should not be there in this world.

The Northern Regions War Cavalry is the first in the world, this is currently well known, the number of troops will only be more than Dong Zhuo's coercion, not less, only stronger and not weaker, the other party is the power of the Han Dynasty, and Dong Zhuo only has the power of two counties, how to win or lose, in fact, it is already very clear.

Of course, if the enemy's commander is mediocre, or has obvious shortcomings, then it is possible to win more with less, but since the DPRK sent Xu Rong, Li Ru knew that he didn't have much chance, Xu Rong was the most stable general under his command, and there were other generals in force who could make up for it, but this stability was very rare. Love to nibble on books

If you want to defeat the strong with the weak, you can only use tactics to win with more, this is the real art of war, and it is impossible to win the battle unless the enemy is in civil strife without counting.

Li Ru looked at Lu Bu's expression and knew that Lu Bu's brain turned slightly, so he continued:

"Jizhou, Youzhou, there are nearly 10 million people, more than 100,000 soldiers wearing armor, nearly 100,000 cavalry, millions of grain stocks, Zhenzheng Nan, Tian Yuanhao is also a capable minister in the world, Guan Yu and Zhao Yun are all fierce generals, with this foundation, our enemy is defeated ten times and it is impossible to break the muscles and bones! And we only need to lose once and we're done! ”

Li Ru looked sideways at Lu Bu at this time and continued:

"The most elite of our wielding is this Xiliang Iron Cavalry, and the general should know where this soldier comes from, the Northern Grassland, Shuofang and other places have been recovered by Gongsun Zhan before, and the people of the grassland regard our enemies as tigers and wolves, and our Iron Cavalry is at our fingertips for our enemies."

Li Ru said with a solemn face at this time, "And our enemy has all the equipment that cavalry needs, we can put on leather armor for our subordinates, and our enemy can wear iron armor!" Can you win? ”

This rhetorical question left Lu Bu speechless, he is not a brainless reckless man, naturally he is also a soldier, this gap in overall strength is not at all something that can be changed by a victory or defeat, even if the enemy on the opposite side loses nine times out of ten, as long as they win one game, their side will have nothing, but can their enemy be defeated nine times out of ten?

Even if he was as proud as Lu Bu himself, he didn't believe it, and he didn't even have much confidence in one victory, let alone nine victories.

"Now that the regent is the overlord of the world, we can't be their opponent, and we can only choose between surrender and death." Li Ru said with a bitter face, who knew that the situation would develop so quickly, in such a hurry, if the other party had heavenly help, the Yellow Turban Million would have surrendered, otherwise it would not have been like this.

That horn was willing to surrender, and he was not afraid of the birds hiding his bow, and he fought for that person, it was incredible! I don't know what kind of demeanor that regent has?

"So I'll ask again, wife and daughter or something else!" Li Ru looked at Lu Bu with a calm expression this time, but this time Lu Bu had to think about what to choose?

"Wife and daughter......" Lu Bu's words seemed to be squeezed out of his teeth, and when he said this, Lu Bu's heart suddenly lightened, but then he felt a kind of humiliation.

"Then please be merciful to the general's subordinates this time, the generals of the Northern Regions have a very good relationship, and they all have the friendship of life and death, no matter who your opponent is, dead or disabled, then Fengxian has no other way." At this time, Li Ru said solemnly, in fact, when he said this, Li Ru was also a little jealous, and sure enough, after he said this, he felt a trace of killing intent slipping through his heart, and his entire back was soaked with sweat.

These words made Lu Bu, who was so proud, bow his head, Lu Bu's temperament, if he didn't want to be humiliated, then he might have to die.

"I ...... Got it! Lu Bu's cold eyes were smoother than Li Ru, so humiliated, he wanted to kill, but in the end, the importance of his wife and daughter still made Lu Bu resist the urge to kill.

After Lu Bu left, Gao Shun appeared next to Li Ru, "Strategist, you really don't want to die, just now Feng Xian has already had the idea of killing, I almost can't hold it back, you must know that if Feng Xian makes a move, I can't stop it with my strength!" ”

"If you don't do this, how can you save everyone, including Bongxian?" Li Ru sighed at this time, the weak must have the mentality of the weak, "I think that no one in this world can defeat Feng Xian, but if the enemy will meet Feng Xian who is full of anger, he will almost be defeated, if no one stops him, the possibility of death is very high, that Zhao Yun doesn't know how strong, but I don't think he is Feng Xian's opponent." ”

"I think so too." Gao Shun also said with certainty at this time, "But what does the military advisor mean in his words that the military advisor is inclined to descend?" ”

Li Ru left tears of humiliation in his eyes at this time, and then said: "Some things are not inclined to mean that they must be, the weak can only rely on the strong, not do what they want, only the strongest people in the world can do what they want, so that the people of the world can revolve around him, like the stars and the moon, and we don't have this capital." There is no tendency, we can only follow in the footsteps of the strongest. ”

It is impossible for Dong Zhuo to surrender, but Li Ru has to think about himself, and for the sake of those who follow Dong Zhuo, he also has to do this, if he doesn't do this, even some people may do things that make him unbearable.

For example, if Li Dao can't do anything, will he cut off Dong Zhuo's head and ask for surrender, this is probably possible, such a thief-born person, without the slightest loyalty, what can't he do?

Therefore, Li Ru had to hide from Dong Zhuo for tandem, like that Li Dao, who had previously tried his best to take over Lu Bu's position, and showed loyalty, if he really held the power, then it was impossible to say that the city gate would be opened tomorrow to welcome the new master.

"Your Royal Highness Regent, what you are doing now is indeed the benevolent lord of the world, we should be able to save our lives, and there will be less chaos in this world." Li Ru glanced at Gao Shun at this time, and he also saw that Gao Shun actually didn't have much of a big heart for war, although this was a partner bought by Dong Zhuo with a lot of money, but he was rigorous and easy to be trusted.

This man will not surrender to the enemy, and may even die in battle, but his heart is inclined to show that he is also willing to submit to the court.

Li Ru silently walked towards the camp at this time, and said as he walked: "General Gao does what he is doing now, if the general doesn't want to be looked down upon, please work harder, at least now the general is still unknown in this world." ”

Gao Shun was stunned, looking at Li Ru's back, thinking about Li Ru's behavior for a period of time, he also understood what Li Ru was doing, he was paving the way for all the civil and military ministers under Dong Zhuo, and now Lu Bu's road has been paved, and his road depends on his own performance this time.

Thinking of this, Gao Shun bowed deeply to Li Ru's back, "Thank you, military advisor!" ”

"Don't thank me, maybe you'll die, be careful yourself." Li Ru didn't reply and said, when it was time to unveil the plaque, would Dong Zhuo cut them down, it was probably yes, at that time, Li Ru might bow down and accept his fate, he didn't want Gao Shun to be killed.

Show your own value, as long as you don't kill the killer and keep a favor, if possible, you can save your life, this is fate, and different choices are destined to have different endings in the end.

Of course, this also means that your own forces will not stand in the end at all, otherwise, no matter how you kill yourself, it should be the enemy who is afraid, and it should not be your own people who are afraid.

This should be fine, the wife and daughter seem to be Feng Xian's flaws, but it's okay, with this flaw, Feng Xian will bow his head, only if he grasps the flaws of the courtiers, then the monarch will rest assured that he will appoint the courtiers, and although Dong Zhuo recognized Lu Bu as his righteous son, but Lu Bu, who has always seemed to have no desires, Dong Zhuo has never believed it, just like a tiger can only be used by people if he is bound by iron chains.
