The book is picked up again.

In the Tiger Prison, Dong Zhuo was drinking in his temporary residence.

At this time, he didn't invite the singer to accompany the wine, but drank the liquor silently there by himself.

To be honest, he was very scared at this time, he was not afraid of the coalition forces outside the city, but afraid of Li Zhi, who had disappeared without a trace.

If Li Zhi took advantage of the war with the princes' alliance to suddenly attack, then he had no other way but to be defeated.

Moreover, this possibility is very high, because Li Zhi and Cao Cao, the leader of the coalition forces outside the city, are friends.

If Cao Cao goes to ask Li Zhi, presumably Li Zhi, who attaches great importance to emotions, will definitely help him, and when the time comes, his fate will not be good!

That's why he was drinking spirits here, trying to use them to anesthetize himself and make himself less afraid.

While Dong Zhuo was drinking, Li Ru hurriedly walked in.

He glanced at the wine jar in the room, frowned, and said to Dong Zhuo: "Lord, my subordinates have important things to report. ”

After hearing Li Ru's words, Dong Zhuo, who was drinking spirits, paused slightly.

Then, he asked with a drunken face: "Wen You, hasn't the Sprinkle family already handed over all the things in the Tiger Prison to you?"

No matter what happens, just make your own decisions and don't bother the Sprinkler family again. ”

After finishing ......speaking, Dong Zhuo moved the wine jar again and drank the spirits.

After Li Ru heard Dong Zhuo's words, his brows furrowed even tighter.

He didn't expect that Dong Zhuo would be so decadent after coming to Tiger Prison.

Of course, he also knew that the reason why Dong Zhuo was like this was because of Li Zhi.

After all, Li Zhi's deterrent power is too strong, and a Li Zhi who has disappeared without a trace is even more frightening, so his father-in-law will use wine to kill his sorrows.

And it is precisely because of this that after Li Ru received Li Zhi's letter, he immediately came to Dong Zhuo's residence.

Because he wanted to use this letter to untie Dong Zhuo's knot, so that Dong Zhuo could go all out to deal with the coalition forces, instead of borrowing wine here to relieve his sorrows.

"My lord, the hussar general ordered someone to send a letter to my lord."

"Smack!!" Dong Zhuo was immediately stunned after hearing Li Ru's words, and then the wine jar in his hand fell to the ground.

However, Dong Zhuo didn't care about these and wanted to get up to catch Li Ru, but because he drank too much, when he got up, he accidentally pounced in front of Li Ru with a "poof".

"Lord!!" After Li Ru saw Dong Zhuo fall, he shouted eagerly, immediately squatted down, and helped Dong Zhuo up.

After Dong Zhuo stood up, he grabbed Li Ru's sleeve and asked loudly, "Wen You, what did you just say?" The hussar general sent a letter to the Sprinkle family? ”

After finishing speaking, Dong Zhuo stared at Li Ru with red eyes and looked at Li Ru eagerly.

Dong Zhuo was very nervous at this time, what he wanted to hear most now was Li Zhi's news, because a hidden Li Zhicai was the most terrifying.

If Li Zhi revealed his whereabouts, then he would be less terrifying.

However, the last thing he wanted to hear was Li Zhi's news, because he was afraid that the content of the news was that Li Zhi had raised his army and captured Luoyang, blocking his back road.

Therefore, Dong Zhuo grabbed Li Ru's sleeve tightly at this time, wanting to ask, but he didn't dare to ask.

As Dong Zhuo's son-in-law and strategist, Li Ru knew Dong Zhuo's mind very well, so he said softly: "Don't worry, the hussar general is unlikely to be our enemy, otherwise he wouldn't have sent a letter to the lord." ”

"Really?!" After Dong Zhuo heard Li Ru's words, he exclaimed, grabbed Li Ru's arm tightly, and asked eagerly, "What about the letter?!" Hurry up and show it to the Sprinklers! ”

Although Li Ru's arm was painfully grabbed by Dong Zhuo, he didn't show anything unusual, but unhurriedly took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Dong Zhuo.

After Dong Zhuo saw the letter, he grabbed the letter with both hands like a hungry tiger pounced.

After snatching the letter, Dong Zhuo couldn't wait to open the letter and carefully read the contents of the letter word by word.

In the process of reading the letter, Dong Zhuo's face also seemed to change, happy for a while, sad for a while, angry for a while, and happy for a while.

After reading the entire letter, Dong Zhuo breathed a long sigh ......of relief, his face full of helplessness.

At this time, Dong Zhuo was in a dilemma, and he also wanted to defeat the coalition forces outside the city as soon as possible, but he was afraid that this letter was Li Zhi's conspiracy.

He was afraid that Li Zhi would collude with the alliance, and wanted to use this letter to lure him out of the city, and then the coalition army swarmed up and defeated him.

However, he did not want to pass up this great opportunity, because all the arrangements of the alliance had been clearly stated in the letter.

As long as he follows the method in the letter, he will definitely be able to inflict heavy losses on the coalition forces, and when the time comes, his life will be much better.

At this time, Dong Zhuo's face was like a kaleidoscope, with a sad face for a while, and a moment full of excitement.

He couldn't make up his mind, if he went to sneak attack, he was afraid that this was Li Zhi's conspiracy, if he didn't sneak attack, he would really be reluctant to take this opportunity.

Fortunately, Li Ru, whom Dong Zhuo had always relied on, was beside him, so when he couldn't make up his mind, he handed the letter to Li Ru and said, "Wenyou, you can also look at the content of this letter and make a decision for the Sprinkle family." ”

After Li Ru took the letter, his brows furrowed tightly after reading it for a while, and he was a little undecided, just like Dong Zhuo at this time.

If it was someone else, he could still guess the other party's thoughts, but the person who wrote the letter was Li Zhi, which made people a little uncertain.

Because what Li Zhi is best at is to surprise and attack him unprepared, no one can guess what he thinks in his heart.

This is about the lives of hundreds of thousands of people, and Li Ru really doesn't dare to make a decision on his own.

Dong Zhuo looked at Li Ru, whose face was uncertain, and did not bother him, quietly waiting for Li Ru's decision.

"Huh......" Li Ru let out a long sigh of relief after watching it for a long time, and said with a firm face: "Lord, I'll wait to sneak attack the coalition army!" ”

After Dong Zhuo heard Li Ru's words, he asked eagerly: "Wen You, do you mean that Li Zhi did not deceive us, but sincerely wanted us to defeat the coalition army?" ”

After hearing Dong Zhuo's words, Li Ru frowned tightly, shook his head slowly, and said, "The subordinates don't know what Li Zhi's idea is.

However, there is a high probability that the contents of this epistle are true. ”

After Dong Zhuo heard Li Ru's words, he frowned and asked, "What is the reason?" Why do you think the contents of this epistle are true?

Haven't you thought that this might be a trap that Li Zhi dug for us? ”

Hearing this, Li Ru opened his mouth and said, after sorting out the thoughts in his heart: "It is very unlikely that this letter is a trap for Li Zhi.

Because if Li Zhi really wants to deal with us, he doesn't need to do anything more.

As long as he occupies Luoyang, then we will have no way back, and when the time comes, we will have no other way but to fight with the coalition forces!

Therefore, his subordinates thought that this letter was unlikely to be a trap for Li Zhi. ”

Speaking of this, Li Ru looked at Dong Zhuo with excitement on his face.

Although Li Ru's face was full of excitement at this time, his heart was full of bitterness.

Because he also thought of a possibility, that is, Li Zhi wanted to use this letter to lure them out of the city and let the coalition forces annihilate them.

In this way, Cao Cao can be promoted to a high position, that is to say, this letter is likely to be a trap for Li Zhi to use them to promote Cao Cao's position.

But Li Ru was helpless, and he had no other way but to believe this letter at this time.

Because it has been clearly stated in the letter, if they don't go out of the city to attack the coalition army, then Li Zhi will combine with the coalition army, flank them back and forth, and annihilate them!

Rather than violating the content of this letter and letting Li Zhi and the coalition forces flank them back and forth, it is better to gamble and bet that Li Zhi did not set a trap!

However, Li Ru knew that he couldn't tell his father-in-law about his thoughts.

Because he knows Dong Zhuo too well, if he really tells Dong Zhuo about this worry in his heart, I'm afraid that Dong Zhuo will not only not be as ruined as him, but will abandon the army and try his best to escape.

At that time, they would have nothing, so he could only say something nice to appease Dong Zhuo.

Sure enough, after Dong Zhuo heard Li Ru's words, he said with excitement on his face: "In this case, the Sprinkle family will leave this matter to you to deal with."

I hope you can inflict heavy losses on the coalition forces in one fell swoop, so that they don't have the strength to attack the Tiger Prison Pass! ”

"Whoa!" After hearing Dong Zhuo's words, Li Ru bowed deeply, and then walked out with a serious face.

"Alas......" Dong Zhuo looked at Li Ru's back, sighed deeply, and muttered: "I hope everything goes well......"
