The book is picked up again.

said last time that the reason why Li Zhi didn't go directly to a showdown with Dong Zhuo was because he understood people's hearts!

Li Zhi knew that once he went directly to a showdown with Dong Zhuo, it would make Dong Zhuo feel like he was being fooled in his heart!

And if Dong Zhuo himself exposed Li Zhi's identity, it would be very different, which would give him a sense of superiority to expose other people's conspiracy.

In this way, Dong Zhuo will not be angry because he is angry.

As long as Dong Zhuo is not reckless, then there is a basis for a transaction between them.

That's why Li Zhi will let people spread rumors that can expose his identity.

Not only that, Li Zhi also wants to achieve a goal, that is, to divide the relationship between Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu!

Lu Bu has been with Li Zhi for these days, and now that Li Zhi's identity has been exposed, Dong Zhuo will definitely suspect Lu Bu, even if he doesn't suspect it, Li Ru will also suspect it!

Li Ru is a smart person, and smart people like to think more!

Therefore, after he knew that Mr. Mu was Li Zhi, he would definitely think: "Why is Lu Bu with Li Zhi?"

Could it be that he has some deal with Li Zhi?

Or is it that Lu Bu has always been Li Zhi's person?

Is Lu Bu credible?

That night attack, was it a double reed that Lu Bu was singing with Li Zhi? ”

After Li Zhi's true identity is known by Li Ru, this series of questions will definitely appear in Li Ru's mind!

And he will definitely tell Dong Zhuo all these questions!

Because, in his mind, Lu Bu was no longer credible, so he had to let Dong Zhuo guard against Lu Bu.

And once Dong Zhuo hears Li Ru's thoughts, he will definitely grow a seed called suspicion in his heart.

In this way, Dong Zhuo will no longer trust Lu Bu.

And Li Zhi just wanted this, he just wanted to build a high wall between Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo, so that the two of them could exclude each other, but use each other.

Once Dong Zhuo becomes suspicious of Lu Bu, he will definitely not talk about things as directly as before, and he will definitely play some twists and turns.

And although Lu Bu is a little smart, in essence, Lu Bu is still willing to trust the kind of person who goes straight to the point.

When Lu Bu discovered Dong Zhuo's abnormality, he would definitely guess that Dong Zhuo was suspicious of him, and when the time came......

"Hey, hey, hey......" Thinking of this, Li Zhi snickered with joy on his face.

Through these observations, Li Zhi also has a general understanding of Lu Bu.

He knew that Lu Bu was very stubborn, and once he decided on something, he would not change his mind.

Therefore, once he decides that Dong Zhuo doubts himself, he will definitely break with Dong Zhuo in his heart!

And Lu Bu's reputation is very bad, and few people will recruit him, so after Dong Zhuo's death, Lu Bu can only take refuge in Li Zhi!

Of course, Li Zhi didn't deliberately calculate Lu Bu, but happened to have this opportunity, so he calculated him.

"It's really just a handy!" Li Zhi thought inexplicably.

"Hussar general, good means!"

Just as Li Zhi was thinking about things, Dong Zhuo's roaring voice came from afar.

When Li Zhi heard this, he immediately turned his head to look at where the voice came from.

I saw Dong Zhuo with a few people, walking towards him violently.

After Dong Zhuo came here, Li Zhi immediately saluted him and said with a smile: "It's just some slight means, which makes the general laugh." ”

"Humph!" Hearing this, Dong Zhuo snorted coldly, glanced at Lu Bu on the side with the corner of his eye, and said: "If this is also a micro-means, wouldn't Ben Xiang become a fool who can't even see through the micro-means?!" ”

Listening to Dong Zhuo's words that seemed to be deliberately finding fault, Li Zhi smiled bitterly and said: "This matter is Ben Hou's, Ben Hou is here to make amends to the general." ”

After finishing speaking, Li Zhi arched his hand at Dong Zhuo.

Then, he shook his head again and said, "However, Ben Hou has not caused any losses to the general here, so there is no need for the general to be so angry!" ”

"Humph!" When Dong Zhuo heard this, he sneered twice, and then said disdainfully: "If it weren't for Xu Rong under a certain family who exposed you, I'm afraid you would still be hiding your true appearance!" ”

Speaking of this, Dong Zhuo saw that Li Zhi was still going to speak, so he waved his hand, interrupted his words, and asked, "Hussar general, just say it clearly, what are you doing in the army?" ”

When he said this, Dong Zhuo's eyes no longer had the humility they used to be.

In the past, Dong Zhuo was indeed a little afraid of Li Zhi.

He was afraid of the forces and army under Li Zhi's command, and he was even more afraid of Li Zhi's inscrutable thoughts and schemes.

And now, after Dong Zhuo exposed Li Zhi, he immediately regained the self-confidence he had when he was in Xiliang!

Dong Zhuo now feels that Li Zhi's methods are indeed very powerful.

However, once it is exposed, there is nothing to fear.

It's like a juggler, once someone lifts his stage, then he can't play anymore.

It was precisely because Xu Rong under his command had exposed Li Zhi that Dong Zhuo thought that Li Zhi was no big deal!

He's just smarter than ordinary people, and it's not that he can't deal with it!

Just like this time, although Li Zhi has been hidden in his army for a long time, in the end, hasn't it been exposed?

Since this is the case, it proves that Li Zhi is not invulnerable, as long as he grasps the opportunity, he will definitely be able to defeat him!

With this mentality, when Dong Zhuo faced Li Zhi, he no longer had the fear he had in the past, and he was full of confidence!

"Sure enough!" After Li Zhi saw the confidence in Dong Zhuo's eyes, he snickered in his heart and said, "Sure enough"!

There are three reasons why he asked Xu Rong to debunk his identity.

First, it is to restore Dong Zhuo's previous self-confidence.

Dong Zhuo was so shocked that he almost lost confidence after this time when the princes begged Dong.

And Li Zhi didn't want him to be like this, he still had a lot of things that had not been arranged, and he didn't want Dong Zhuo to decay so quickly, so he would use himself to improve Dong Zhuo's confidence.

The second is to make Dong Zhuo feel that he has fully controlled the situation.

After Dong Zhuo revealed Li Zhi's identity, he would definitely feel that he had disrupted Li Zhi's plan, and Li Zhi was also surrounded by his army, and he now had the upper hand!

In this way, Dong Zhuo would subconsciously think in his heart that he was completely in control of the situation.

In this way, when Dong Zhuo faced Li Zhi, he would not have the mind of being killed and paranoid, and guessed: "Is this Li Zhi going to plot against me again?" ”

Instead, like a normal power leader, he thinks, "What do I get?" What do I have to give? Can I take advantage of this trade? ”

And if Li Zhi wants to plot against Dong Zhuo, he needs Dong Zhuo not to have the mind of being killed paranoidly.

Otherwise, even if Li Zhizhi is intellectually monstrous, it will be difficult to calculate a conspiracy theorist!

Because conspiracy theorists tend to think about things in the worst way, maybe someone just said something unintentionally, and he will over-interpret it!

With such a person, who can calculate him?!

And the third reason why Li Zhi asked Dong Zhuo to debunk himself was to let Dong Zhuo plot himself!

That's right! You read it right, I didn't write it wrong, Li Zhi just wanted Dong Zhuo to plot him!

The reason why Li Zhi did this was to involve Dong Zhuo's energy, so that Dong Zhuo could not develop his own power with peace of mind.

After Dong Zhuo exposed Li Zhi, he would definitely feel that Li Zhi was not invincible!

There is a saying in later generations: "If God sheds blood, he is no longer God!" ”

Through this incident, Dong Zhuo must feel that Li Zhi also has flaws, and he can also overcome it!

And Dong Zhuo has been suppressed by Li Zhi everywhere since he entered Beijing, and he must hate Li Zhi very much in his heart!

Therefore, once there is a chance to attack Li Zhi, he will definitely not let it go!

And if he wants to deal with Li Zhi, it will involve most of Dong Zhuo's energy, so that he can't develop with peace of mind.

Because the think tank of Dong Zhuo's forces is Li Ru, and if you want to calculate Li Zhi, only Li Ru can win if he plays in person.

In this way, Li Ru will no longer have the energy to manage Dong Zhuo's forces.

This is exactly what Li Zhi wants!

Dong Zhuo's foundation is too thick, if he is really allowed to develop with peace of mind for a few years, I am afraid that he will be a force that can fight the world alone!

Because of this, Li knew that he wanted to involve Dong Zhuo's energy, so that Dong Zhuo had no mind to develop!

Not only that, Li Zhi also wanted to take this opportunity to clear his internal spies.

If Dong Zhuo wants to deal with Li Zhi, he will definitely use the secret agents lurking inside Li Zhi.

Otherwise, how would Dong Zhuo, who was far away in Chang'an, deal with Li Zhi who lived in Luoyang?

And once Dong Zhuo uses secret spying, it will inevitably leave clues.

When the time comes, Li Zhi will be able to easily remove these secret agents!

It is precisely with the above three reasons that Li Zhi will spread the news and let Xu Rong reveal his identity.

"Hussar general? Hussar General! Dong Zhuo saw that after he finished asking, Li Zhi was stunned, so he called him twice unhappily.

"Huh? Oooh! After Li Zhi heard Dong Zhuo's call, he immediately came back to his senses.

Then, he asked with a blank face: "General, where did I just go?" ”

When Dong Zhuo heard this, he said with a dark face: "The prime minister asked you just now, you disguised yourself and changed your name and surname, what happened to the prime minister's army?" ”

"Oh," Li Zhi said after answering with a salty voice, "It's nothing important."

The reason why Ben Hou came here was for two purposes.

First: Just like Hou said when he first came to Tiger Prison, Ben Hou just wanted to have a good time.

Ben Hou is a little tired of living in Luoyang City, so he will come here. ”

After hearing Li Zhi's words, Dong Zhuo pursed his lips and asked with a face full of disbelief: "What about the second purpose." ”

Regarding Li Zhi's first purpose, Dong Zhuo didn't believe it at all!

Tired of living in Luoyang City, you want to go to the battlefield to join in the fun? What kind of thinking is this?!

It's not that I'm tired of living, I'm afraid I'm tired of living, right?!

Therefore, Dong Zhuo didn't believe Li Zhi's nonsense at all!

He thought that Li Zhi must have some other purpose, so he stared at Li Zhi with blazing eyes.

Seeing this, Li Zhi pursed his lips helplessly, and said secretly in his heart: "How can no one believe the truth?!" ”

Fortunately, Li Zhi still had a second set of rhetoric, so he said to Dong Zhuo: "The second purpose of Ben Hou coming here is to observe the combat strength of the general's army. ”

"Why?" As soon as Li Zhi's words fell, Li Ru, who was standing beside Dong Zhuo, frowned and asked, "For no reason, why does the hussar general observe the combat strength of the lord's army?" ”

After finishing speaking, Li Ru stared at Li Zhi tightly, his eyes full of inquiry.

Not only Li Ru, but Dong Zhuo on the side also stared at Li Zhi with scrutinizing eyes at this time.

Because he felt that since Li Zhi had probed the combat strength of his army, he must have wanted to fight him, otherwise, why would he do this?

After thinking of this, Dong Zhuo instantly became vigilant!

He knew Li Zhi's ability, and he was afraid that Li Zhi would kidnap him, so he quietly took two steps back.

"Hehe......" After Li Zhi heard Li Ru's words, he glanced at Dong Zhuo, chuckled disdainfully, and said: "The reason why Ben Hou is probing the combat power of your army is because Ben Hou wants to see if you are worthy of being Ben Hou's ally!" ”

"What?!" After hearing Li Zhi's answer, everyone around them exclaimed.

Then, after Li Ru looked around vigilantly, he whispered next to Dong Zhuo's ear.

After listening to Li Ru's whisper, Dong Zhuo instructed the herald on the side: "Pass on the military order of the prime minister, and order the army not to come close to the prime minister within ten zhang."

Moreover, the army within a hundred zhang has all plugged their ears and is not allowed to hear the words here, and those who violate it... No mercy!! ”

"Whoa!" Seeing Dong Zhuo's serious face, the herald didn't dare to slack off, and after answering, he hurriedly went to convey the order.

It's no wonder that Dong Zhuo is so cautious, everyone present knows that after this defeat, Dong Zhuo's reputation has plummeted, and his deterrent power is not as good as before.

And if Dong Zhuo can take this opportunity to form an alliance with Li Zhi, one of the few forces in the world, he can restore his previous deterrent power, and maybe he can continue to entrench himself in Luoyang!

So, before forming an alliance with Li Zhizhen, he didn't want anyone to hear their conversation!

Because once Dong Zhuo's enemies knew that he was going to form an alliance with Li Zhi, then they would definitely try their best to sabotage this alliance!

After the army slowly left their surroundings, Dong Zhuo opened his mouth to Li Zhi and asked, "Hussar General, what you just said is true?" ”

"Naturally," Li Zhi said, nodded his head, and said, "Ben Hou has been in your army for more than three months, and he also knows a lot about the situation in your army.

General Dong's army, although it is not an elite division, is much stronger than an ordinary army.

And with such an army, you still have hundreds of thousands of people, so strong, you are qualified to form an alliance with Benhou. ”

After Li Ru heard Li Zhi's words, his eyes rolled and he asked cautiously: "The hussar general said that the alliance is like an offensive and defensive alliance like a coalition of princes?" ”

"Definitely!" Hearing this, Li Zhi rolled his eyes, and flatly refused: "Ben Hou will never form an alliance with you on the bright side!"

The alliance that Ben Hou is talking about is just an alliance in secret! ”

After Li Zhi heard Li Ru's words, he immediately knew Li Ru's plan.

He just wanted to put Li Zhi in the limelight, and then Dong Zhuo's forces could develop with peace of mind behind Li Zhi.

But how could he be as Li Ru wished?!

Therefore, after hearing Li Ru's words, Li Zhi immediately rejected him!

"Alas......" Hearing this, Li Ru sighed slightly.

He really hoped that Li Zhi would agree just now.

Because once Li Zhi agreed to form an offensive and defensive alliance with them, most of the eyes of everyone in the world would be focused on Li Zhi, and at that time, their pressure would be much less.

Unfortunately, all this is just his imagination!

However, Li Zhi's refusal was also expected by Li Ru.

Therefore, after he was lost for a while, he regained his spirit and asked Li Zhi, "I wonder what I can get after forming an alliance with the hussar general?" And what does it take to pay? ”

When Li Zhi heard this, he glanced at Li Ru in surprise.

He didn't expect that Li Ru would clean up his mood in such a short period of time, which made Li Zhi very vigilant!

Talents like Li Ru are the most difficult to deal with, and people like him will not be frustrated by failure.

He will learn from the experience of defeat and thus get back on his feet, and having such an opponent is really a headache!

However, Li Zhi also knew that now was not the time to deal with Li Ru.

Therefore, after cleaning up his mood, he replied: "Benhou can block the alliance of princes after you retreat to Chang'an, and disintegrate the alliance of princes!" ”

"Is that true?!" As soon as Li Zhi's words fell, Dong Zhuo on the side asked with surprise on his face: "Is the hussar general really willing to attack Cao Cao?!" Isn't he your buddy? ”

"Lord!" After Li Ru heard Dong Zhuo's words, he called him, gently tugged at his sleeve, and whispered: "At this time, hand it over to your subordinates." ”

"Okay." After hearing Li Ru's words, Dong Zhuo thought for a moment and nodded.

Although he is arrogant, he is still somewhat self-aware.

He knew that his resourcefulness was not as good as Li Zhi, so he inevitably suffered a loss, so he handed over the matter to his own think tank Li Ru.

After Li Ru heard Dong Zhuo's words, he looked at Li Zhi with a calm face and asked, "How did the hussar general know that we wanted to give up Luoyang and return to Chang'an?"

Besides, the reason why the hussar general is willing to break up the alliance of princes is probably what he wants, right? ”

After finishing speaking, he stared at Li Zhi with blazing eyes, his eyes full of inquiry.

If you want to get something, you must pay something, Li Ru understands it very well.

Therefore, he didn't think that Li Zhi would help them for no reason, Li Zhi must have something to ask for!

"Alas......!" Li Zhiyan heard this, and after glancing at Li Ru, he sighed secretly in his heart.

To be honest, for a moment, Li Zhizhen wanted to kill Li Ru now!

People like Li Ru, who will stay calm at all times and are not moved by interests, are really too difficult to deal with!

It may be difficult to take advantage of him, so Li Zhi doesn't know if this transaction will be successful.

However, this transaction is very important to him, so even if Li Ru is difficult to deal with, he will try his best to complete this transaction!

After making up his mind, Li Zhi said to Li Ru: "As long as you are not a fool, you can guess the retreat of your forces to Chang'an, so Ben Hou will not say more."

As for the second question of the first student......"

Speaking of this, Li Zhi paused slightly, touched the mask in his hand, and said calmly: "What Wen Xiansheng said is right, Ben Hou does have a request. ”

After Li Ru heard Li Zhi's words, he breathed a sigh of relief imperceptibly.

It's good to have a request, what he is most afraid of is that Li Zhi doesn't ask for it!

Then, Li Ru asked expressionlessly, "What requirements?" ”

After Li Zhi glanced at Dong Zhuo, he squinted his eyes and said: "Benhou 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 Benhou take over the position of Luoyang Order!" ”
