The book is picked up again.

After Dong Zhuo returned to his mansion, he took a cup of tea and pondered thoughtfully.

Li Ru, who was standing beside him, saw Dong Zhuo's expression, and asked cautiously, "Lord, is things going well today?" ”

After hearing Li Ru's inquiry, Dong Zhuo hadn't come back to his senses, and subconsciously asked, "You say, is it possible that Li Zhi is fake?" ”

As soon as he had said that, he came back to his senses, and although he felt that his idea was a bit ridiculous, he turned his gaze to his own brain.

"......" Li Ru blinked after hearing Dong Zhuo's question, full of speechlessness.

He didn't understand why Dong Zhuo asked like this, how could Li Zhi be fake?!

Looking at the stunned Li Ru, Dong Zhuo asked, "Why are you silent?" But what comes to mind? ”

When Li Ru heard this, he instantly came back to his senses, looked at Dong Zhuo with helpless eyes, and asked, "Lord, why do you think that the hussar general is fake?" ”

He really couldn't keep up with Dong Zhuo's train of thought, so he asked bluntly.

When Dong Zhuo heard this, he touched his bearded chin, and said with a smile: "You don't know, when the old man went to Cao Mansion today, he didn't see Li Zhi at all. ”

Dong Zhuo was more and more sure of the guess in his heart at this time, so he laughed.

"......" Li Ru blinked again when he heard this, and his heart was a little confused.

He really didn't understand, since he hadn't seen Li Zhi, why did his father-in-law laugh?

Seeing Li Ru looking at him with strange eyes, Dong Zhuo coughed dryly, and then told all the ins and outs of going to see Li Zhi today.

After listening to Dong Zhuo's words, Li Ru fell into deep thought: "According to the lord's statement, I'm afraid that the hussar general is really fake!"

Since the hussar general is fake, where did the hell it go? ”

Then, he thought of a possibility, and his face immediately turned gloomy.

Dong Zhuo saw Li Ru's ugly face, and asked eagerly, "What did you think of?" ”

"Hmm" After Li Ru nodded, he said with a gloomy face: "Judging from the subordinates, the Li Zhi that the lord went to see today is probably really fake." ”

"Oh?" When Dong Zhuo heard this, he immediately came to his senses: "Why do you say that, what evidence is there?" ”

After hearing Dong Zhuo's words, Li Ru nodded, stretched out a finger, and said, "First, the hussar general is a person with great power, how can he be so inferior to the lord?"

According to the lord, the words of the hussar general to the lord can almost be called flattery.

According to the hussar general's character, how could he say such flattering words to the lord?! ”

Speaking of this, he stretched out a second finger: "Second, Xu Huang is loyal to the hussar general, how could he eat in the hussar general's room when he was sick?" ”

Dong Zhuo frowned when he heard this and asked, "But didn't Xu Huang say that the reason why he ate there was because the hussar general wanted to know about the affairs of the world, so he gave him a banquet and let him talk while eating?" ”

As soon as Dong Zhuo's words fell, Li Ru immediately retorted: "Xu Huang is a military general, what if you don't eat a meal?"

According to his subordinates' understanding of Xu Huang, if the hussar general really gave him a banquet, he would rather be hungry than eat and drink in front of the sick Li Zhi. ”

Speaking of this, he sighed, stretched out his third finger, and said, "Third, the hussar general is a man of high and arrogant heart, how can he show weakness in front of the lord?" ”

"Show weakness?" Dong Zhuo touched his bearded chin and asked puzzledly, "When did he show weakness to the old man?" ”

"Alas......" Li Ru glanced at Dong Zhuo, sighed, and explained for him: "If the person the lord saw was really a hussar general, then he would never lie on the hospital bed and meet the lord!"

According to the hussar general's arrogant character, when he heard that the lord was coming, not to mention that he was just infected with some wind and cold, even if he was terminally ill, he would support the reception of the lord. ”

Speaking of this, Li Ru said with a gloomy face: "Combined with the above three points, the subordinates concluded that the person the lord saw was definitely not a hussar general, but an impostor!" ”

"That's it......" After hearing Li Ru's explanation, Dong Zhuo nodded clearly, he felt that Li Ru's analysis was reasonable.

"Since that Li Zhi is fake, where did he really go?"

After hearing Dong Zhuo's inquiry, Li Ru's face became even more ugly: "This is exactly where his subordinates are puzzled.

The power of the hussar generals was monstrous, compared to the alliance of princes outside the city.

He has such power, why should he hide it? ”

Dong Zhuo was stunned when he heard this, and it took a long time for him to come back to his senses, and asked with an ugly face: "Wen You, do you mean that Li Zhi wants to deal with the old man?" ”

After finishing speaking, he looked at Li Ru with expectant eyes, hoping that Li Ru would refute his words.

Because if Li Zhi really wants to deal with him, it will be a catastrophe for him!

However, the facts disappointed Dong Zhuo.

"That's right!" After hearing Dong Zhuo's words, Li Ru not only did not refute, but nodded approvingly.

Then, he said with a solemn face: "In the entire Luoyang City, except for the lord, no one deserves to let the hussar general hide.

The subordinates believe that the reason why the hussar general is hiding is to take advantage of the fact that the lord is not guarded and strike a fatal blow to the lord! ”

Dong Zhuo's face turned pale after hearing Li Ru's words.

His fear of Li Zhi has not dissipated, and now that he heard that Li Zhi was going to deal with him, he was really afraid in his heart.

It may be that the persecution of the crisis made Dong Zhuo's head work, and after his fear, he immediately discovered that something was wrong.

"That's not right, is it?" Dong Zhuo frowned and asked, "If Li Zhi really wants to attack the old man, he doesn't have to go to such trouble to hide it at all."

As long as he cooperates with the soldiers and horses outside the city, the old man has no power to fight back, why should he do more? ”

After hearing Dong Zhuo's words, Li Ru nodded solemnly and said, "This is also what his subordinates can't figure out.

However, the subordinates did not know why the hussar general was hiding.

However, there is one thing that his subordinates are very sure of, that is, the hussar general's absolute desire is not good for the lord. ”

When Dong Zhuo heard this, he asked eagerly, "Why did Wen You say this?" ”

"Alas......" After sighing, Li Ru explained to Dong Zhuo: "The lord thinks that the soldiers and horses outside the city are mainly Cao Cao, and Cao Cao is a good friend of the hussar general, and the hussar general cannot be their enemy.

And in this world, in addition to the local forces, there are also the three forces of the lord, Li Zhi, and Cao Cao outside the city.

Now, Cao Cao and the lord's enemies are clear, but Li Zhi is quietly hiding at this critical moment, who does the lord think he will attack? ”

Speaking of this, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, looked at Dong Zhuo, who was full of nervousness, and continued: "Although my subordinates don't know why the hussar general didn't cooperate with Cao Cao.

However, his subordinates knew that the hussar general would never let the lord win!

Because the lord's enemy is his friend, if the lord wins, won't his friend die on the battlefield?

This is absolutely intolerable for a hussar general who values friendship!

Therefore, in this battle, the lord must not win!

Once victorious, it will inevitably provoke a fierce counterattack from the hussar general! ”

Dong Zhuo's face became even more ugly after listening to Li Ru's analysis.

If it is really like what Li Ru said, then how can this battle be fought?

Who wants to fight a war that can only be lost and cannot be won?

At this time, Dong Zhuo had a retreat in his heart, and he felt that this Luoyang City was his nemesis.

Since he came to Luoyang City, although his status has risen step by step, crises have also followed, making him always in a life and death crisis.

He now wants to return to Liangzhou and continue to be his soil emperor.

Although Li Ru didn't know what Dong Zhuo was thinking, he knew from Dong Zhuo's expression that Dong Zhuo might have an intention in his heart.

Therefore, he hurriedly comforted: "The lord does not need to be discouraged, although his subordinates can't guess where the hussar general has gone."

But as long as we defeat the coalition forces outside the city, even if the hussar general wants to turn against us, we will have the power to fight back! ”

When Dong Zhuo heard this, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw, he asked eagerly: "Wen You, didn't you say that when we are about to defeat the alliance of the princes, the hussar general will definitely do something to us?"

In that case, how can we defeat the alliance of princes? ”

"That's right!" After Li Ru heard this, he nodded solemnly, looked at the direction of the princes' alliance outside the city, and said: "It is precisely because the hussar general will intervene in this matter, so I will wait for a fatal blow, and defeat the princes' alliance before the hussar general can react!"

By that time, we will have the capital to fight the hussar generals! ”

After finishing speaking, Li Ru stood up and looked in the direction of the coalition of princes outside the city with an inexplicable look......
