All events happen slowly in time.

On the first day of April, Li Ru received a report from Dong Si: "There are signs of movement of 1,000 men and horses of the Tiger Battalion in the Bingzhou Army outside the city. ”

Li Ruxin said: "Wang Yun old thief, are you going to do it?" ”

Li Ru hurriedly returned to the study, and within a moment, he wrote a letter to Dong Zhuo.

"Father-in-law, there are signs of movement of the state army outside the city. Wang Yun and his ilk may not be good for you in the near future.

Please ask your father-in-law to order: Let the Flying Bear Army enter the city, and the people of the state are not allowed to leave the house without permission.

Within three days, the son-in-law will let his father-in-law see the true face of Wang Yun and others. —Son-in-law Wen You. ”

After writing the letter, he asked Dong Da to send it to Dong Zhuo, and said to Dong Da:

"No matter what Sangkook said, tell me truthfully when you come back. Half an hour later, we met outside the South Gate as planned. ”

Dong Da said, "No", and turned around and hurried away.

After Dong Zhuo received Li Ru's letter, he laughed and said: "Wen You is too worried, what can you do with the transfer of a thousand people, as soon as my Xiliang army arrives, they will be wiped out in an instant."

I have my son Feng Xian by my side, even in the midst of thousands of troops, he can protect me. He retired from Dong Da and happily went to the court.

Today is Wang Yun's false decree and summoning Dong Zhuo to the court to receive Zen. Dong Zhuo was very happy in his heart, and Li Ru's exhortation could still be seen there.

Dong Da left the Xiangguo Mansion and hurried to the south gate.

When Dong Zhuo walked to the Chaoyang Palace, the ministers did not visit Dong Zhuo as usual, and Dong Zhuo was furious: "You have all lived enough, dare to be unreasonable to me." Do you want me to kill your whole family? ”

In normal times, when the ministers heard Dong Zhuo say this, they were all trembling with fright, but today, everyone just had a tacit understanding and was silent.

Wang Yun saw that everyone was silent, and Li Su and the others from the state army were ready, so he said to Dong Zhuo: "Old thief Dong, your death time has come, and you dare to speak so loudly!" ”

Dong Zhuo looked at Wang Yun, laughed, and said, "My son Lu Bu is here, who can kill me?" ”

As soon as the words fell, Li Su, the general of the state army, came out of the ranks, and stabbed Dong Zhuo in the back with a shot, "I, Li Su, dare!" ”

Dong Zhuo was injured in the back, lying in front of the hall, and said to Lu Bu: "Fengxian, you are next to me, how can he hurt me?" ”

Lu Bu didn't answer Lu Bu's words, but said to the ministers with a straight face: "Dong Zhuo is a national thief today, and I, Lu Bu, will eliminate harm for the country today." ”

After speaking, the Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand pierced Dong Zhuo's chest like lightning, Dong Zhuo looked incredulous, but he was already dead.

The Xiliang Xiaoxiong, who started the troubled times in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, died.

After killing Dong Zhuo, Lu Bu shouted: "The person who helped Dong Zhuo to abuse is Li Ru!" Who's going to go to his house and capture him?"

Li Su replied: "I am willing to go to my job." Wang Yun also hurriedly arranged manpower to kill Dong Zhuo's cronies Dong Wen and others.

When Li Su led the soldiers to Li Ru's mansion, the gate was closed. Li Su said to the soldiers beside him, "Open the gate!" ”

With a 'coax', the door of Li Ru's mansion was slammed open.

A subordinate came out of the gatehouse of the Li Mansion and said, "Who is so bold, don't you know that this is Lord Li Ru's mansion?" ”

Li Su laughed, "Li Ru, this is what I'm looking for." ”

said to the soldiers around him: "I have the emperor's order: Li Ru helped Dong Zhuo, killed countless people, committed extremely heinous crimes, confiscated the property of the whole mansion, and killed all the people in the mansion." Do it! ”

At the same time, bloody murder cases appeared in various mansions of the Dong family in Chang'an City.

After a while, the soldiers dragged out a thin and voiceless 'Li Ru', because Li Ru had been feeling ill for nearly half a month and had never left the mansion, and many official duties were sent to his mansion for processing.

So Li Su hasn't seen Li Ru for a long time. I saw that 'Li Ru' at this time was pale, and there was no longer the light clouds of the past.

After meeting Li Su, 'Li Ru' didn't know what to say. Li Su said to the soldiers beside him: "Drag him to the entrance of the vegetable market and behead him for public display!" ”

A military officer in charge of searching the Li Mansion reported: "Tell the general, Dong Zhuo's fourth daughter Dong Juan and Li Ru's daughter Li Zhi'er have not been found. ”

Li Su looked at the 'Li Ru' who was about to be killed, and said, "If a woman and child can't be found, forget it!" Li Ru is dead, and our order has been completed, take the head, go back and ask for credit. ”

The soldier obeyed Li Su's order and retreated.

Wang Yun and the other Wenchen couldn't see the bloody nature of the head, and when they heard that Dong Zhuo's cronies Li Ru and others had been ambushed, they didn't take a closer look at the head, but just said:

"General Li has done a great job. I set the Son of Heaven and gave General Li the post of General Pingjiao. Li Su's face was full of joy and said, "Xie Wang Situ." ”

......

At the same time, Li Ru, who was outside the southern city gate, had already led thirteen strong men towards the south.

In the car, Li Ru recalled Dong Da's report to himself just now, and he already knew the ending.

Tears of sadness flowed from his eyes, and he couldn't stop wanting to. Dong Zhuo was fascinated by Diao Chan's beauty, and he didn't care about the army anymore, and defeat was inevitable.

But after all, he has the grace of Bole, Li Ru swore that one day, he would behead Wang Yun, Lu Bu and others to avenge Dong Zhuo.

Li Ru, as the chief strategist of Dong Zhuo, the first prince of the late Eastern Han Dynasty, has outstanding talents and should be among the world's first-class strategists.

Dong Zhuo will go from Dongzhonglang to Xiangguo, who is in power and in the opposition; quelled the Liangzhou rebellion; led troops into Beijing to kill eunuchs; killed the young emperor of the Han Dynasty, the Empress Dowager He; The retreating princes before the Tiger Prison Pass are all from Li Ru's handwriting.

In fact, Dong Zhuo no longer has the heart to dominate the world, so he is disheartened, and plans to vote for others, or lead his wife and children, find a place to hide, and live this life.

Regarding the matter of Chang'an City, Li Ru had already planned, and he was sick at home half a month ago, confusing Wang Yun and others.

And today, he first wrote a letter to Dong Zhuo, if Dong Zhuo listened to his words, he could return to Chang'an; If Dong Zhuo doesn't listen to his words, he can only use a stand-in to fake his death to get out.

As for taking refuge in others, Li Ru handles the affairs of the world and knows the forces in various places well.

Shixie, the southernmost Jiaozhou, occupies the entire Jiaozhou, although it has a large population and a vast territory, most of them are ethnic minorities with strong folk customs, and it is not a good place to go.

Liu Yan of Yizhou and Liu Yu of Youzhou, others can vote, but they can't, because it was Liu Wei, the young emperor of the Han Dynasty who killed the royal family, and voting for these two is tantamount to throwing himself into the net.

Kong Rong in Qingzhou and Tao Qian in Xuzhou are all big families, and with what they do to the big families, they are definitely not very friendly to themselves.

However, among the people who can take refuge now, the first-class forces are none other than Yuan Shu in Nanyang, Yuan Shao in Jizhou, and Cao Cao who has just occupied Yanzhou.

Among the second-rate forces, only Han Cheng of Yanmen County and Changshan County and Zhang Yang of Hanoi County and Shangdang County were the only ones. As for the other forces, it is useless to defect.

Dong Zhuo killed more than 50 members of the Yuan family, although he did not participate, but the Yuan family, Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shu had no kindness to him.

Zhang Yang is a person, Li Ru has dealt with him, and he has no ability, so he will only tend to be inflammatory.

As a result, the world is so big, and Li Ru's dedication is only Cao Cao and Han Cheng.

Coincidentally, these two people were the two people who dared to chase Dong Zhuo when Dong Zhuo went to Chang'an and among the princes.

Li Ru asked himself, from the territory he occupied, he was more optimistic about Cao Cao in Yanzhou;

In terms of personal preference, I am more optimistic about Han Cheng in Bingzhou. Because Han Cheng advances and retreats to a certain extent, judging from Han Cheng's work, he is a master who does not suffer losses, and he is in the hands of Li Ru.

However, Han Cheng had a more advantageous point: the division of land and state made Li Ru very satisfied, which was a declaration of war against the family. As an enemy of the world's families, Han Cheng has great courage.

If you choose to live in seclusion, then Liaodong Gongsun Du is a good choice. Li Ru was hesitant about his future.

As for now, first go south to Yongning County, and then turn west, passing through Hedong County, Taiyuan County, and reach Yanmen County.

There are three reasons for this: first, it is to avoid Wang Yun's pursuit, if Wang Yun finds out that Li Ru has escaped, he will definitely issue a large number of chase orders in the name of the imperial court.

"The most dangerous place is the safest place." "No matter how smart Ren Wang Yun is, he can't imagine that Li Ru would dare to leave Wang Yun's hometown, the territory of the Wang family of Taiyuan County.

The second is that now there is a shortage of soldiers in various places, and there is a big fight among the princes. Although Li Ru was protected by the brave and powerful thirteen guards of the Dong family, he could not stand the large number of princes.

The land of Bingzhou is vast and sparsely populated, and there are not too many princes' forces anymore, and there is only one Han Cheng in the north of Bingzhou. Relatively speaking, it has become the safest path.

As for the third, it was because of Li Ru's selfishness, and he wanted to go to Yanmen County in the north of Bingzhou to see how Han Cheng was governed?

Han Cheng's land division order, to be honest, Li Ru yearns for it.

In other words, if he has passed through so many places, if he is not caught, maybe Han Cheng will let himself go because of his talent, and other princes will definitely not.
