Chapter 546: Alliances and Transactions (Part II)

The book is picked up again.

"Ben Hou hopes that when you retreat to Chang'an, you will take away all the officials and big and small families in Luoyang City, and let Ben Hou take over the position of Luoyang Order!"

As soon as Li Zhi's words were finished, Li Ru instantly guessed Li Zhi's plan, Li Zhi must want to dominate Luoyang!

After guessing Li Zhi's plan, Li Ru thought for a moment and said with a smile: "I always thought that the hussar general was a person who was indifferent to fame and fortune.

Unexpectedly, the hussar general still has such ambitions! ”

After finishing speaking, he stared at Li Zhi directly, not letting go of any of his expressions.

The reason why he said this was to test Li Zhi and see if Li Zhi had the ambition to dominate the world.

After all, Li Zhi's request was to a large extent to enhance his strength.

Once they bring all the families in Luoyang City to Chang'an, then Luoyang City will have a "window of power".

In this way, Li Zhi can calmly and slowly install his forces in Luoyang City.

It won't be long before the entire Luoyang City will be controlled by him!

Although Luoyang City is only a city, because it is the capital of the Han Dynasty, there are many civilians in the city.

In Luoyang City alone, there are nearly a million civilians!

Once Li Zhi completely controls Luoyang City, then as long as he is ruthless, he can increase his army by 100,000 in a very short period of time by drawing one out of ten from among the civilians!

Not only that, there are many prosperous counties around Luoyang City.

Li Ru believes that after Li Zhi completely controls Luoyang City, he will definitely not let go of the fat in his mouth!

In this way, after Li Zhi controls all these counties, he will have the foundation to dominate the world!

After thinking about this, Li Ru couldn't help but think about it too much.

He believes that Li Zhi must have the ambition to dominate the world, so he will make this deal with Dong Zhuo.

After hearing Li Ru's words, Li Zhi shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Wen Xiansheng misunderstood, Ben Hou has no ambition to dominate the world.

The reason why Ben Hou wants to control Luoyang is just to make the people in Luoyang City live better. ”

Speaking of this, Li Zhi sighed deeply, looked at the direction of Luoyang City, and said compassionately: "Although Luoyang City looks prosperous, there are countless evils in it!"

And most of the people who created these sins were families and officials!

If Ben Hou wants to make the people in the city live better, then the only way to do this is to eliminate all these people!

However, the families and officials are intertwined, and how easy is it to eliminate them?

Therefore, I want to take this opportunity for you to take them away.

After that, Benhou will find a way to make life better for all the people in the city.

At the very least, Ben Hou also wants to let there be no more people starving to death in Luoyang City! ”

After Li Ru heard Li Zhi's words, he looked at him with a complicated face.

Li Ru is also from a civilian background, and he knows that it is not easy and easy to satisfy a commoner.

Therefore, Li Ru knew that if Li Zhi hadn't lied, as soon as Li Zhi finished what he said, he would immediately be grateful to everyone in Luoyang City!

When the time comes, everyone in Luoyang City will become Li Zhi's supporters!

Although Li Ru didn't want Li Zhi's power to soar, he ......

"That's it! I'm also from a civilian background, so I think I'm doing something for the common people. ”

With this idea in mind, Li Ru turned his gaze to Dong Zhuo and asked for his opinion.

In any case, Dong Zhuo is the leader of their forces.

Therefore, even if Li Ru had already agreed to this alliance in his heart, he would not ignore Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo and Li Ru have been together for many years and know Li Ru too well, so after he saw Li Ru looking at him, he knew that Li Ru had agreed to this matter.

In Dong Zhuo's opinion, since his think tank Li Ru has agreed to this matter, he will definitely not suffer any losses in this alliance.

So, after thinking about it for a while, he nodded and agreed.

Dong Zhuo's idea is very simple, he knows that his intelligence is inferior to Li Ru, and he believes in Li Ru's loyalty.

Therefore, he handed over everything to Li Ru, and he only needed to make a humanoid seal.

Seeing this, Li Ru nodded slightly at Dong Zhuo, and then said to Li Zhi: "In this case, he agreed to form an alliance on behalf of the lord, but it was ......."

Speaking of this, Li Ru's words changed and said, "Hussar General, there is one more matter, I have to explain it later." ”

Li Zhi, who was originally happy, turned pale after hearing Li Ru's words, and asked, "I don't know what's going on?" ”

After Li Ru heard Li Zhi's words, he said with a straight face: "I need to think about everything before I make a blood alliance!"

Please forgive the villain and then the gentleman!

I'll need to explain all the details before we can form an alliance!

Otherwise, I'm afraid that I will turn against each other for some details in the future! ”

When Li Zhi heard this, his face turned grim, and he said, "What Wen Xiansheng said is right.

Since Wen Xiansheng raised this issue, then I ask Wen Xiansheng to tell me the details, and we will discuss it together. ”

After Li Ru nodded, he said: "After I return to Luoyang, I will not immediately return to Chang'an, but wait in Luoyang for the hussar general to break up the alliance of princes before retreating." ”

Speaking of this, he glanced at Li Zhi, afraid that he would misunderstand, so he explained: "It's not that we don't trust the hussar general, but this matter is related to our lives, so we have to be cautious." ”

After Li Zhi heard Li Ru's words, he fell into deep thought.

Although he also knew that it was understandable for Li Ru to do this.

Because if Dong Zhuo retreated to Luoyang, he immediately retreated to Chang'an with his family and officials, but he suddenly reversed himself, wouldn't Dong Zhuo suffer a big loss?

Moreover, they were still half enemies before, and now although they plan to form an alliance, the relationship between this alliance is very fragile, so it is reasonable for Li Ru not to believe him.

However, although Li Zhi understood the truth, he was very unhappy in his heart!

After all, no matter who it is, it will be unhappy if it will be suspected after being suspected!

Fortunately, Li Zhi was still sensible, so he forcibly suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, and said to Li Ru with an expressionless face: "It seems that Wen Xiansheng doesn't believe in Ben Hou very much!" ”

Speaking of this, Li Zhi let out a long breath, nodded, and agreed: "That's it!" Ben Hou agreed to this matter!

You can wait for Benhou to break up the alliance of the princes before returning to Chang'an! ”

After finishing speaking, Li Zhi sighed deeply.

The reason why he agreed to this was because he was sure of his own strength!

He was not afraid that Dong Zhuo would backtrack after the princes' coalition retreated!

Because once Dong Zhuo does this, then he will be attacked by Li Zhi's madness!

With Dong Zhuo's tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Luoyang City, it is impossible to be Li Zhi's opponent!

Once Dong Zhuo provokes Li Zhi, I'm afraid his power will be wiped out in a short period of time!

Li Zhi believed that Li Ru also understood this truth, so he was not afraid of Dong Zhuo's backtracking!

Moreover, even if Dong Zhuo couldn't resist the temptation and wanted to go back on his word, then Li Ru would definitely persuade him!

"Huh" Li Ru let out a long breath after hearing Li Zhi'......s promise, and secretly said in his heart: "Luck!" ”

Li Ru knew that his request was indeed a bit excessive, but Li Ru had to do it!

In fact, after Li Ru said the request just now, he was already ready for Li Zhi to turn his face.

However, he didn't expect that Li Zhi would agree to this rather excessive request.

This made Li Ru secretly wonder in his heart: "Could it be that Luoyang City is so important to the hussar generals?"

So that even if he suffers a loss, he will get this Luoyang City?

If so, am I asking too low?

Otherwise...... Get some more benefits from Li Zhi? ”

After Li Ru found out that Luoyang City was very important to Li Zhi, he immediately had bad thoughts and wanted to get some benefits from Li Zhi.

After making up his mind, Li Ru said to Li Zhi: "The hussar general is really refreshing!

Since the hussar general has agreed to the first request, let's talk about the second request. ”

"Wait!" Before Li Ru could finish speaking, Li Zhi interrupted him with a frown and asked, "Do you have a second request?" ”

"Exactly!"

Li Zhi looked at Li Ru, who was fearless, and asked with a frown: "Student Wenxian, do you understand your situation at this time?!"

Although there are still nearly 100,000 troops left, after this defeat, the morale of the army has plummeted and it is useless!

In other words, compared to Benhou, you are now at an absolute disadvantage!

You must know that Ben Hou is willing to form an alliance with you, which is to give you face! ”

Speaking of this, Li Zhi took a few steps forward, stared at Li Ru in front of him, and said word by word: "Wen Xiansheng, don't toast and don't eat and drink!"

People who have to make inches often don't end well! ”

After finishing speaking, a dazzling thunder light shone in Li Zhi's hand.

Li Zhi also figured it out at this time, I am afraid that he was too anxious, so that Li Ru could see that he was bound to win Luoyang.

Therefore, Li Ru will continue to put forward conditions, wanting to take advantage of more.

But......

"Want to take advantage of Benhou? You're thinking too much! Li Zhi thought disdainfully.

"Hehe......" After hearing Li Zhi's threatening words, Li Ru chuckled nonchalantly, shook his head and said: "For the great cause of the lord, it is not enough to be a mere lowly body!"

If the hussar general wants his life below, even if he does it, he will never fight back!

However, if the hussar general wants to continue to form an alliance with the lord, he must agree to the following conditions! ”

After finishing speaking, Li Ru closed his eyes, raised his head, and opened his hands, as if waiting for death.

Of course, he is not a person who gives up his life easily, the reason why he dares to do this is because he is sure that Li Zhi will never attack him!

Moreover, Li Zhi will definitely agree to his conditions!

Li Zhidi heard Li Ru's words, and sighed secretly in his heart: "Sure enough, the interests are moving!"

It's time for Benhou to let you know what fear is! ”

After thinking about it, Li Zhi shook his head and said: "Wen Xiansheng has a good ability, he can actually guess what Ben Hou thinks in his heart, Ben Hou admires!" ”

After finishing speaking, Li Zhi dispersed the thunder light in his hand, as if he had compromised.

When Li Ru heard this, he immediately opened his eyes, looked at Li Zhi with a smile, and said, "After the award, since the hussar general wants the lord to solve those families and officials for you, then you should pay the corresponding price!" ”

"Pay the price?" After Li Zhi heard Li Ru's words, he looked at him expressionlessly and asked, "Could it be that Benhou broke up the alliance of princes for you, and it is not the price to pay?" ”

"Haha......" When Li Ru heard this, he immediately laughed, and while laughing, he looked at Li Zhi with disdainful eyes, and said, "Why does the hussar general ask knowingly?!"

It's just a coalition of princes, and when they arrive in Luoyang, they will definitely fall apart because of the imbalance of interests!

How can this be regarded as the credit of the hussar general?

Even if there were no hussar generals, they would have died out naturally!

Therefore, if the hussar general really wants to ally with the lord, don't use the matter of "disintegrating the coalition army" to deceive the lord! ”

After Li Ru finished speaking, he looked at Li Zhi with pride.

What he said just now was just used to answer Li Zhi, how could the alliance of princes be so easy to deal with?

That's right, the alliance of princes may indeed fall apart in the end due to interests, but that was after Dong Zhuo was eliminated!

Before that, the alliance of princes will definitely not collapse easily!

And the reason why Li Ru said this was just to disgust Li Zhi.

They are now negotiating, and whoever is calm enough and confident enough will have the upper hand!

Therefore, he wanted to provoke Li Zhi and make Li Zhi mess up, so that he could get more benefits from it!

However, Li Ru underestimated Li Zhi too much!

After Li Zhi heard Li Ru's words, he didn't get angry, but said calmly: "I see, Ben Hou understands."

Please give me the second condition you are waiting for. ”

When Li Ru heard this, his brows immediately furrowed.

He didn't expect that he was so rampant, and Li Zhi was not angry, which surprised him very much.

At the same time, the vigilance in his heart has also been raised to the extreme, people like Li Zhi are too difficult to deal with!

However, Li Ru felt that now that he was in the upper hand, Li Zhi would not be fooled even if he had other means, as long as he paid attention to it.

Therefore, after hearing Li Zhi's question, he immediately said his request.

"The hussar general also knows that my lord's strength has been greatly damaged after this battle.

Therefore, the second request of a certain family is to hope that the hussar general can divide a part of the soldiers and horses to hand over to the lord of a certain family! ”

After finishing speaking, he stared at Li Zhi deadly.

Originally, Li Ru felt that Li Zhi would be furious after hearing his request.

However, he didn't expect that after Li Zhi heard his request, he still nodded calmly and asked, "How many people?" ”

"Huh?" After Li Ru heard Li Zhi's words, he was immediately stunned, this was different from what he thought!

In his expectation, Li Zhi should now be furious and argue with him.

Then, he used Luoyang to threaten Li Zhi, and finally Li Zhi agreed to this condition only as a last resort.

And now, things were beyond his expectations, Li Zhi didn't get angry after hearing this condition, which made Li Ru not know what to say!

"Ahem!" Li Zhi saw that after he finished asking, Li Ru was stunned, so he coughed and continued to ask: "Wen Xiansheng, how many soldiers and horses do you want?!" ”

"Uh......" Li Ru came back to his senses after hearing Li Zhi's cough.

Then, he looked at Li Zhi in a daze and asked, "Hussar General, are you really willing?" ”

"Reluctance to let that be a matter of Benhou, it has nothing to do with you!" After Li Zhi glanced at Li Ru, he asked impatiently: "Just say, how many soldiers and horses do you want!" ”

"Ahem!" When Li Ru heard this, he finally came back to his senses, although he didn't know why Li Zhi was willing to send soldiers and horses.

But now is the time to rip off!

Therefore, after coughing twice, he tidied up his clothes and said righteously: "If there is chaos today, the thief army led by Cao Cao will rebel in the name of saving the Son of Heaven!"

And the lord of my family was ordered to drive hundreds of thousands of troops and Cao Cao to hunt in the Tiger Prison.

However, there are unforeseen circumstances, and the army under the command of the prime minister accidentally fell into the thief's plan, thus losing the army!

Now, since the hussar general wants to ......"

"That's it!" After hearing Li Ru's disgusting words, Li Zhi frowned and waved his hand, interrupting: "Li Ru! Don't stop talking this disgusting nonsense!

Just say, how many soldiers and horses do you want? ”

"Uh... Hehe......" After hearing Li Zhi's words, Li Ru laughed dryly twice, and wondered in his heart: "Why is the hussar general so rude?" ”

What Li Ru said just now was actually just talking about the scene.

After all, whether it is right or evil, you must first put yourself in the position of justice!

However, he could also see from Li Zhi's title that Li Zhi was indeed a little impatient now!

Because now Li Zhi no longer calls him a scholar first, but calls him Li Ru!

Therefore, Li Ru didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore, and immediately said: "Since the hussar general wants to support my lord, then ask the hussar general to give up 50,000 troops and send it to my lord!" ”

After finishing speaking, Li Ru stared at Li Zhi with blazing eyes to see how he answered.

After Li Zhi heard Li Ru's words, he nodded expressionlessly and said, "Okay!" ”

After hearing Li Zhi's answer that was as precious as gold, Li Ru's face completely changed!

Li Ru knew that Li Zhi was not a good person.

However, now that he has taken such a big advantage, Li Zhi even agreed without changing his face.

If you want to say that there is no conspiracy in this, he doesn't believe it when he kills him!

However, Li Ru thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't think of any conspiracy and tricks.

Therefore, he could only stare at Li Zhi tightly, trying to see any flaws in Li Zhi's face.

It's a pity that Li Zhi's face was calm at this time.

However, I don't know if it's an illusion, after Li Ru watched it for a long time, he actually saw a hint of banter from the depths of Li Zhi's eyes!

This discovery made Li Ru even more uneasy, so he planned to test it.

"Hussar general, are you really willing to give my lord 50,000 troops?"

"No problem" After Li Zhi heard Li Ru's inquiry, he immediately nodded and said: "Don't say 50,000 troops, even if it's 100,000, Ben Hou is willing to send it!" ”

After finishing speaking, Li Zhi no longer pretended, and looked at Li Ru with a playful smile on his face.

"Goo-toot!" After Li Ru heard Li Zhi's words, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva and looked at Li Zhi with a nervous face.

Li Zhi's words are almost telling Li Ru: "Ben Hou does have a conspiracy, but whether you can see through Ben Hou's conspiracy depends on your ability!" ”
