Cao Cao is wise and brave, and Lu Bu is not a stupid person; Cao Cao is in high spirits, but Lu Bu is like an eggplant beaten by autumn frost; Cao Cao has ambitions, and Lu Bu also has a grass in his heart.

Now, this grass is frantically eroding his soul in his heart.

The day before yesterday, Dong Zhuo received a letter of help from Yang Feng, the guard of Tongguan, and had not yet begun to prepare for Tongguan, and today the Hongnong guard Niu Fu has fled back to Chang'an, Tongguan has been down, the original Hongnong Ya gate general Shi Jin brothers defected, and Yang Feng, Xu Huang, and Bu Dingyi were all captured.

Dong Zhuo scolded Niu Fu, and then ordered him and Jia Xu to go to Liangzhou to form an alliance with Ma Teng, Han Sui and others to relieve the siege of Chang'an.

Where do you go from here?

Hugging Dong Zhuo's thighs? Let's not talk about whether Chang'er agrees or not, just look at Dong Zhuo is now also declining, and the brave generals under the tent are withering, leaving only himself and Li Du to support the scene, and the day of the commander of the light pole is not far away, wouldn't it be death to hug his thighs again?

What's more, he had promised that Miss Cui to assist him in killing Wang Duan, and the eldest husband was difficult to chase after him, so how could he not count if he spoke?

Take refuge in Wang Deyu? Although Wang Deyu is Chang'er's brother-in-law, he and Ding Yuan are equally heart-to-heart, and the two generals under his command, Zhang Wenyuan and Gao Boxun, are gifts from Ding Yuan, can he put himself a way to live in Chang'er's face?

Lu Bu sat in the Moon Tower in the city, frowning, and the wine in his hand was one cup after another. Perhaps because of the clouds of the war, there was no one else in the restaurant, and there was only one shopkeeper left, and even the shopkeeper was nowhere to be found.

Looking at the sky outside the window, a wisp of residual sun hangs obliquely on the horizon, a faint afterglow shines on the trivial dark clouds, revealing a little cold light, the autumn is cold, the sunset is cold and lonely, just like my mood at the moment.

Suddenly, the wine glass in his hand was empty, and one person had already done it to his side: "Fengxian, how about one person drinking here and two glasses with Confucian?" ”

"Wenyou, what are you doing here?" Lu Bu's eyes lit up, this person has always been the first military division under Dong Zhuo's account, and his resourcefulness and kindness are like the abyss of nine spins, if he can get him, with my Lu Bu's martial arts, where in the world can I go!

Lu Bu called Xiao Er to put a wine bottle on Li Ru, filled it for Li Ru with his own hands, and asked: "Now that the war is coming, Wen You is busy and idle, and he actually touched this Moon Tower?" ”

"Where is there anything busy, now I am an idler!" Li Ru took the wine bottle handed over by Lu Bu and drank it all, looking at the remnant sun outside the window with discouragement, "The war will break out soon, I will go out for a walk, and finally take a look at the sunset in Chang'an." ”

"What do you mean by this? But worried about Xiangguo? Lu Buhuo Ran raised his head.

Li Ru shook his head, and the corners of his mouth were shallow self-deprecating: "What is there in Xiangguo to worry about Li?" No matter what the outcome of this battle is, Li should be the last to stand in this Chang'an City. ”

Is this a serious disagreement between Li Ru and Dong Zhuo? Lu Bu was secretly happy in his heart, and said tentatively: "This is not like the Wen You I know, I want to give advice to Xiangguo at the beginning, and I am high-spirited, why is I so depressed today?" ”

Li Ru directly poured a bottle of wine and drank it again, raised his head to look at Lu Bu and stopped.

Lu Bu had already raised the wine bottle in his hand and touched it with Li Ru, and said, "Wen You, what is the difficult thing to encounter?" If you can still trust Lu, you can say anything, and Lu promises to do it safely for Mr. ”

Li Ru was silent for a long time before putting the wine bottle in his hand on the desk: "Feng Xianshi asked me why I have such leisure, would Feng Xian be willing to sit with me for a while and listen to me one by one?" ”

"I want to talk to Mr. for a long time, but Mr. is a confidant around Xiangguo who is busy, and Bu does not dare to disturb, if Mr. does not abandon Bu is not a good listener, Mr. But

It doesn't hurt to say that! Between the words, Lu Bu put another nail on Li Ru.

Li Ru shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Where is Li a confidant?" In the past, Confucianism was under the account of Xiangguo, supporting Xiangguo, originally wanted to repay Xiangguo with his life, and repeatedly made suggestions for Xiangguo, Dingqiang Hu, Pingliangzhou, Zhuyang, Emperor Moushao, and moved the capital to Chang'an, which thing and pile is not for Xiangguo?

Of course, at that time, Xiangguo also trusted Confucianism and obeyed his words. But since I came to this Chang'an City, Xiangguo has always picked his nose and eyes at me, and he has been dissatisfied with me. Don't talk about reuse, even ordinary ordinary people are not as good. Now Xiangguo's eyes are only full of prosperous worlds, and there are no brothers who have laid a foundation for him.

Before Niu Fu's defeat of Hongnong, I persuaded Xiangguo Niu Fu to be loyal or have a slight lack of ability and courage to be in charge of his own affairs. It's a pity that Xiangguo didn't listen and eventually Hongnong's army was defeated. Later, I persuaded Xiangguo to send troops to reinforce Tongguan as soon as possible, but Xiangguo once again put my suggestion behind him on the grounds that the terrain of Tongguan was dangerous. ”

"No one is perfect, there must be near-term worries, with the great talent of Mr., why worry that Xiangguo will not wake up the next day and reuse it for Mr.?" Lu Bu persuaded two sentences.

Li Ru sneered: "Wake up? Fengxian, you're talking about Xiangguo before you get Luoyang, right? Today's Xiangguo is arbitrary and self-serving, where can I still listen to my words?

Today, Niu Fu returned from Tongguan, this person lost two passes in a row, and his crime is probably not enough to behead him, I just warned him in front of the lord, suggesting that this alliance Ma Teng and Han Sui choose someone else, and they were scolded by Xiangguo, saying that they are not close to each other.

Yes, Niu Fu is his son-in-law, but can this person achieve great things? Also, a few days ago, Yang Fang, who was guarding Chang'an City, that is, General Yang Ding's brother-in-law, took a fancy to Luo Wanqing, the flower in Chang'an City, but was snatched away by Xiangguo's sword.

General Yang Ding sacrificed his life for Xiangguo, Li felt the same way, so he admonished Xiangguo, Mo Ruo rewarded this woman to Yang Fang to calm his heart. Do you know what Xiangguo said to me? He said, 'Is your wife willing to marry Yang Fang?' Luo Wanqing's matter, don't say more, words will be killed! 'Bongxian, we all died at the hands of Xiangguo and women! ”

"I don't expect Xiangguo to do this self-digging grave!" Lu Bu sighed, picked up the wine bottle on the desk like a cow drinking water, and after drinking, he shook the wine bottle in his hand and shouted angrily, "If the husband dies, he will die, how can he give his life to such a person!" ”

"Be cautious!"

Lu Bu wiped the remaining wine from the corner of his mouth, the corner of his mouth outlined an arc, and sneered: "Could it be that Wenyou still wants to go to Xiangguo to talk about Lu Mou?" ”

"Confucianism has long been dead to Xiangguo!" Li Ru shook his head, drank the wine in his hand, let the wine drip on his cheeks, and the confusion in his eyes gradually disappeared, leaving only an indifference.

Lu Bu patted Li Ru on the shoulder, asked Xiao Er to immediately change the banquet, sat down again and said: "Sir, Xiangguo usurped the dynasty and sought the emperor, indiscriminately killed important ministers and people, and was addicted to killing, and everyone in the world hated it.

Cao Wang's coalition army came narrowly and righteously, the momentum was violent, I lost Hongnong and Tongguan cities in Guanzhong, Chang'an had no danger to defend, and there was no general in the army to be defeated. Mr. and Bu are both in distress, why don't they work together to tide over the difficulties? ”

"Li once killed the young emperor, Feng Xian is not afraid that I will drag you down?" Li Ru looked at Lu Bu lightly and said.

Lu Bu laughed: "How can the eldest husband be restrained in the world? Bu was born in Jiuyuan, accustomed to the indifference and bloodshed of wolves on the grassland, and also accustomed to seeing the deceit of the world. What's more, now that little child is still sitting on the dragon chair in Luoyang City! ”

"However, Feng Xian, do you know that once the army in Guanzhong is defeated and my name is exposed, the young emperor will inevitably be wanted by the whole country, and then you and I will hide in Tibet like lost dogs

？ Li Ru's words became more and more sharp.

Lu Bu Huoran got up and let out a long roar: "Sir, then do you know how to use a halberd to suppress the crowd?" Even if you don't say that the young emperor can know that you are in our army, even if you know that? As long as they dare to come, Lu will get rid of them for Mr. ”

"Since Feng Xian does not dislike Li, from now on, Li will only be the first to look forward!" Li Ru arched his hand, and then said, "Feng Xian has any plans now?" ”

Although he had already obtained Li Ru, the depression in Lu Bu's heart had decreased slightly, but he couldn't clear it up after all, he shook his head and exhaled and said: "Don't hide it, Mr. Lu, the right talent Lu is thinking about his own way out, Dong Zhuo and King Cao will definitely lose the duel, but Lu doesn't know whether to vote for Wang Deyu or Cao Apu!" ”

Li Ru laughed: "What's so difficult about this?" King Cao teamed up to join forces is nothing more than a combination of righteousness, after all, interests come first in this world, and both are heroes, how can they not know that one mountain does not allow two tigers? One day, they will eventually go their separate ways.

Although Wang Deyu is an upstart, his foundation is far stronger than Cao Apu's, and Luoyang Xiaoer is also controlled by him, and the family is dominant. Cao Apu, an old nobleman, temporarily lost the upper hand. The general is just the icing on the cake for Wang Deyu, and for Cao Agui, it is a charcoal in the snow. Since ancient times: it is easy to add icing on the cake, but it is difficult to send charcoal in the snow. What does the general think? ”

Lu Bu's eyes lit up: "You mean to let me take refuge in Cao Apu?" ”

"Definitely! Confucian's suggestion is to unite with Cao Apu! ”

"Joint?"

"Exactly!" Li Ru nodded and said, "Chen Shi Daze Township uprising, once said that the prince and the prince will have a kind of Xiangning? Generals, Wang Deyu and Cao Apu all got up in the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Yuan Benchu was his family lineage, but Sun Wentai was from his own hard work, did the general think that he was inferior to them?

The collapse of the Han Dynasty is imminent, and the world will be in turmoil. The princes of the thirteen towns are all fierce and ready to fight, just to fight for a future in the troubled times. With the bravery of a general and the strategy of Confucianism, it is easy to find a place to live in this troubled world, why should you live under the fence and look at the eyes of others? ”

Lu Bu's heart was surging when he said this, and he slapped it heavily on the table: "Where does that gentleman think we should take it?" ”

Li Ruzheng said: "Yanzhou! ”

Yanzhou is thousands of miles away from Chang'an, separated by Sizhou and Yuzhou, how can you get by? Do you fly like a bird? Lu Bu looked at Li Ru in surprise: "Yanzhou? ”

"Yes, Yanzhou!" Li Ru poured some wine on the table, drew a few pictures and explained, "Sizhou is rich and Cao Wang is side by side, although Liangzhou is bitter and Ma Han joins hands, Yuan Shao Gongsun Jingxiong in the Central Plains, Liu Zhang and Zhang Lu in the land of Bashu, and Yanzhou has only one Shi Jinshang District weak person, how can he be the general's opponent?"

When the general and Cao Kangwang formed a stalemate, they took the opportunity to narrow Chang'an Chen Liu'er, from Lantian into the water all the way south through Shangluo and Danshui, into Nanxiang at Wuguan, and then all the way east through Nanyang and Xiangcheng, through Yingchuan and Chenliu to Yanzhou. ”

Lu Bu was puzzled: "What Mr. said is very true, but that Shi Jinshang is an ally of Yuan Shu, so Sir is not afraid that Yuan Shu will turn against us?" ”

Li Ru stroked the beard under his chin and said with a smile: "The dry bones in Yuan Shu's mound, are they terrifying?" And Yuzhou is close to Jingzhou, and Jizhou is only separated from Yanzhou, Yuan Shu and Liu Biao, Yuan Shao have many disagreements, we wait to take Yanzhou, Yuan Shu is not happy, Liu Biao and Yuan Shao are very welcome. ”

"Mr. is wise and broad, and he really deserves to be the first army division under Dong Zhuo's account!" Lu Bu clapped his hands and exclaimed, "Then what should I do now?" ”

Li Ru thundered: "Unite with Yang Fang and wait for its changes!" ”

……

The remnant sun gradually fell, the distant mountains were faint, the autumn of Weishui was cool, and the turmoil in Chang'an City was rising again.
