The book is picked up again.

"No!" Li Ru had long been accustomed to Dong Zhuo pushing himself when he encountered something he didn't understand, so after hearing Dong Zhuo's words, he nodded calmly and said, "Please rest assured, my subordinates will definitely live up to the trust of my lord!" ”

"Hmm" Dong Zhuo nodded with satisfaction, then turned around and came to his seat, grabbed a jar of wine, and drank it "tons and tons".

After drinking half a jar ......of wine in one go, Dong Zhuo let out a long breath of wine and asked comfortably, "Wenyou, let's have a drink together?" ”

"No" Li Ru shook his head calmly, and said: "The subordinates still have to intrigue with the enemy, and they must keep a clear head, so they can't drink, and the subordinates will leave first if they have something to do." ”

After finishing speaking, Li Ru respectfully saluted Dong Zhuo, and then turned around decisively and walked out of Dong Zhuo's big tent.

"It's just right not to drink, the old man himself is not enough." Seeing this, Dong Zhuo didn't care, he raised the wine jar and drank it again, looking like he was going to drink himself to death.

"Alas......" Li Ru, who walked out of the big tent, suddenly stopped, turned around, looked at Dong Zhuo in the big tent, and sighed secretly.

To be honest, he is a little gloomy in his heart now, Dong Zhuo has been rampant since Dong Zhuo occupied Liangzhou, hiding all the gold and silver beauties he stole in his mansion, drinking and enjoying all day long, regardless of the situation in the world.

This time, all the princes in the world united to Cao Cao, Dong Zhuo actually didn't want to participate, but he couldn't bear Li Ru's soft grinding and hard bubbles, so he could only agree.

It can be seen from this incident that Dong Zhuo no longer has the ambition to dominate the world, he just wants to find a place to have fun, what is the difference between this and those bandits who occupy the mountains as kings?

Li Ru has great ambitions, he always wants to assist Dong Zhuo to dominate the world, and finally dominate the world and put Dong Zhuo on the throne!

But now it seems that the hope is getting slimmer!

As far as Dong Zhuo is drunk and dreaming of death now, don't say that he is diligent in government, even if he uses his brain more, he is bored!

Therefore, even if Dong Zhuo can finally ascend to the throne, I am afraid that he will not be able to be the emperor for a few days, and he will be driven down!

Is such a lord really worth assisting himself?

"Alas......" After thinking of this, Li Ru sighed gloomily again, and he didn't get a definite answer in the end.

Although a voice in his heart told him that Dong Zhuo was no longer worthy of his assistance, could he really be ruthless enough to abandon Dong Zhuo?

After this question lingered in his mind for a long time, he shook his head, no!

No matter how bad Dong Zhuo is, he is the lord he has chosen!

In addition, Dong Zhuo trusted him very much and handed over all the soldiers and horses to him, if he was abandoning Dong Zhuo, would he still be a human being?

After thinking of this, Li Ru walked towards his tent with firm steps,

He has already made up his mind, no matter whether Dong Zhuo succeeds or not, he will do his best to help Zhun Zhuo defeat the enemy, even if they are defeated and killed in the end, it can be regarded as fulfilling their righteousness as a monarch and minister, and Li Ru will never regret it!

……

Ten days later, Li Ru's big tent was ......

"Qi Qi military division, the enemy sent another 10,000 soldiers and horses."

"Hmm" After Li Ru heard the secret agent's report, he nodded, waved his hand and said, "You go down first, a certain family knows." ”

Just when the spy turned around and walked out of the tent, Li Ru seemed to think of something, and hurriedly ordered: "By the way, you go and call General Xu Rong." ”

"No!" After hearing Li Ru's order, the spy answered and hurried away.

After a while, Xu Rong strode in, clasped his fist at Li Ru, and asked, "My subordinates have seen the military advisor, but I don't know what the military advisor is doing when he recruits his subordinates?" ”

When Li Ru heard this, he told Xu Rong everything that had happened in the past few days.

After finishing speaking, he propped up the table with his hands, pointed his chin with crossed fingers, squinted his eyes and asked, "Xu Rong, do you think the enemy intends to change the target, or is it a trap deliberately set?" ”

"This ......" After Xu Rong heard Li Ru's words, he frowned and fell into deep thought.

After a long time, he said in an uncertain tone: "The enemy may really plan to divide his troops to attack Liu Biao." ”

"Oh?" After Li Ru heard this, he raised his eyebrows, raised his hand, and said, "Tell me your opinion." ”

"......" After Xu Rong organized the language, he frowned and said: "There are two reasons why the subordinates said this, first, the source of the news,

This news was not sent by the enemy himself, but by us and others.

And the reason why the enemy secretly sent his troops and horses out of the city at night was that he did not want to be discovered by us, and from this point of view, the credibility of this news is relatively high.

Second, the flags on the city walls, the flags on the city walls have not decreased at all these days!

If the enemy wants to use Chang'an City as a bait, then why should they transfer troops abroad on the one hand, but do not reduce the amount of flags on the other, isn't it contradictory?

If your subordinates are enemy generals and want to lure the enemy to attack Chang'an City, then you can generously send out the troops in the city, and then reduce the banner!

Anyway, this strategy is not much different from fishing, as long as your bait is sweet enough, even if you move hard, the fish will take the bait, and there is no need to make all those bells and whistles! ”

"......" After Li Ru listened to Xu Rong's words, he touched his chin, nodded thoughtfully, and said: "What you say is not unreasonable, but I am afraid that the enemy will do the opposite!" ”

"The other way around?" After Xu Rong heard this, he asked a little abruptly: "Is the military advisor afraid that the enemy will plan?" ”

"That's right!" After Li Ru nodded solemnly, he said: "I was afraid that the enemy would know that I would think like this, so I deliberately made a flaw, so that I would think I had guessed the enemy's thoughts, and then use our thoughts to plot against us!" ”

"......" After Xu Rong heard Li Ru's words, his face was a little weird.

He always felt that Li Ru was too cautious!

How can there be a march to war without taking risks? Don't say it's a march to fight, even if you eat on weekdays, you may choke to death!

If they have to be careful about everything, then they don't have to compete for the world, they can just unload their armor and return to the field, go home and farm!

"Alas......" Li Ru also saw the strangeness in Xu Rong's eyes, but he didn't say anything, just sighed secretly.

To be honest, on weekdays he

He wouldn't be so cautious, but for some reason, today, he always had an ominous premonition in his heart, so he was so hesitant and didn't dare to make a decision easily.

Because he always felt that Cao Cao on the other side was like a different person!

Although Cao Cao often made some small plans in offensive and defensive battles in the past, these strategies were not very powerful, and they were all expected by Li Ru.

And just ten days ago, Cao Cao seemed to have suddenly opened his mind, and what he did was confusing.

Although Li Ru probably guessed that Cao Cao might be planning to abandon Chang'an and attack Liu Biao.

But Li Ru always felt that this matter was a little weird, and this weirdness made Li Ru unable to let go of his heart, and he pondered for a long time.

After thinking about it for the past few days, he was shocked to find that the enemy on the opposite side was not like Cao Cao!

As far as he knows, Cao Cao is a person who does not hit the south wall and does not look back, since he has decided to eradicate Dong Zhuo, he will definitely fight to the end before he is forced into a desperate situation.

According to the intelligence, although Gongsun Zhan's offensive was very urgent and fierce, it was unlikely that he would be able to break through Jizhou and Merge Prefecture in a short period of time, so Cao Cao didn't need to be in such a hurry!

After thinking about this, a flash of aura flashed in Li Ru's heart, he wanted to grab a trace of aura, but he couldn't catch it!

Li Ru only felt that he was now separated from the truth of the matter by a transparent but extremely tough film, although it seemed to be close at hand, but it was far away!

This feeling made Li Ru very mad, he stood up and walked around the tent, scratching the back of his head vigorously, his face was extremely violent, like a rabies patient.

"......" Looking at the irritable Li Ru, Xu Rong hesitated for a while, and then said cautiously: "Strategist, if you really care about this matter, then you might as well send some more people to inquire about other people's news."

If the enemy really has a conspiracy and mobilizes so many men, it will inevitably leave clues!

As long as there is the slightest mistake, can't I just wait to attack? ”

"Not attacking? How?! After Li Ru heard Xu Rong's words, he immediately shook his head and said unhappily: "If the enemy really divides his troops to attack Liu Biao, and we don't attack because of this estimate, wouldn't it be a waste of this great opportunity?" ”

Speaking of this, Li Ru's words changed and said: "But what you said is also reasonable, no matter what the enemy does, send more people and horses to find out their news, it is always safe!" ”

After saying this, he immediately commanded the guards guarding the gate: "Pass on the orders of our army, all the spies will attack with the whole army, monitor the enemy's every move, and no matter what they find, they must come back and report it, and if they violate it, they will be killed!" In addition......"

Speaking of this, Li Ru hesitated for a while and then ordered: "In addition, notify the dead in Chang'an City, and let them investigate Cao Cao's subordinates to see if there are many strategists." ”

"No!"

"This ......" After the guards left, Xu Rong asked Li Ru with a hesitant face: "Military advisor, is it really necessary to dispatch the dead?"

You must know that we don't have many deaths, and if we use one, we will have one less!

Is it necessary to sacrifice a dead room in order to investigate whether there is more than one thing under Cao Cao's command? ”

"It's necessary, it's very necessary!" After Li Ru heard Xu Rong's words, he nodded solemnly and said, "......"
