Chapter 359 - Making Up for the Dead

Li Ru knew that Dong Zhuo couldn't just be the shopkeeper, let the Xiliang army bully the state army all the time, which was not conducive to the stability of the army's morale, and if he wanted to have fun, he could have it anytime, and he was not in a hurry.

But Dong Zhuo still didn't listen.

It's too difficult to make amends now.

Li Ru, who was named by Dong Zhuo, could only bite the bullet and give Dong Zhuo a plan to see which one Dong Zhuo preferred, anyway, this Xiliang army is Dong Zhuo's, and it is always up to Dong Zhuo to decide.

Li Ru took a step forward, clasped his fists and gave a salute, and said:

"Father-in-law, our army has suffered a slight setback, so there is no need to be so angry and angry, be careful that you are angry and hurt your body. The army of Zhuhou was menacing, temporarily captured the gate of Luoyang, and surrounded the palace, but the father-in-law was not without the strength to fight back. At this time, inside and outside the palace, there are still 100,000 Xiliang iron horsemen, and the father-in-law has the Han Emperor's son of heaven, and there are fierce generals like clouds. The son-in-law has three plans to help the father-in-law repel the princes outside the palace, but the price is big and small, and the father-in-law is asked to listen to the son-in-law carefully. ”

"The first plan, the name of each candidate is to crusade against the father-in-law, but in fact, they want to replace it, like the father-in-law to coerce the Son of Heaven and order the candidates, so the son-in-law suggested that the father-in-law immediately poison the Son of Heaven Liu Xie, and send Liu Xie's body outside the palace to present it to the candidates. At that time, those ill-intentioned candidates saw that the Son of Heaven was dead, and they must have other thoughts, busy supporting the new Son of Heaven to ascend the throne, and had no strength to fight against their father-in-law. ”

"The second plan, the reason why my father-in-law makes all the people in the world jealous is nothing more than to get the support of Liu Xie, the son of heaven, you might as well bring Liu Xie, the son of heaven, and then burn down the palace and Luoyang. With his father-in-law's 100,000 Xiliang Iron Horse, he returned to the land of Sanfu, re-established the capital of Chang'an, and chose another place of Longxing to wait for the times to change, which was not much difficult for his father-in-law. ”

"The third plan, the father-in-law can personally take command, so the morale of the Xiliang army is high, 100,000 troops come out together, kill out of the palace, all the candidates face and heart discord, I don't dare to directly grab the father-in-law's edge, as long as the father-in-law does not divide the army, every time the 100,000 Xiliang iron cavalry out of Qi back, to kill these candidates' army, it is just a matter of time and loss, when the palace is worry-free."

Li Ru is worthy of being a generation of wise generals, and in a gesture, he offered Dong Zhuo three strategies, and there are many poisonous plans, which can be called the demeanor of Jia Xu and Jia Wenhe. To put it bluntly, one of these three strategies is to poison the young Son of Heaven Liu Xie, so that everyone is disturbed; One is to burn Luoyang, so that the candidates are desperate, knowing that they can't get any benefits, they will naturally collect their troops, go back to their own homes, and find their own mothers, and the last one is to let Dong Zhuo go and fight with all the candidates, and come to a plan in people, success or failure in the sky.

Dong Zhuo didn't expect Li Ru to either say nothing, or give three clever plans at once, making it difficult for Dong Zhuo to decide.

This killed the Son of Heaven Liu Xie, Dong Zhuo was able to do it, but he killed Liu Xie and got rid of the siege of all the candidates, so Dong Zhuo became one of the candidates from all walks of life, mediocre, no special highlights. At the beginning, it was Liu Xie who was promoted to the throne and ascended the throne, and Dong Zhuo naturally took himself as the Taishi and took charge of the power of the court.

Killing the Son of Heaven is extremely inappropriate. Dong Zhuo was reluctant to kill Liu Xie, and the other candidates would find another surnamed Liu, and then become the son of heaven.

As for the burning of Luoyang, Dong Zhuo is even more distressed, this Luoyang City has been prosperous for thousands of years, if it is burned by fire, where will Dong Zhuo go to enjoy himself in the future? You must know that even if she is a beauty in Chang'an, she is not as diverse as the thousands of postures in Luoyang City, which makes Dong Zhuo feel relaxed and happy, and he will never forget it.

There is only one last strategy, take 100,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry to fight with Zhuhou, this one seems to be the most reliable, but Dong Zhuo knows that these generals under his command are really waste, far inferior to Lu Bu and Lu Fengxian, and after fighting hard, it is estimated that there is not much left of these 100,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry.

If Dong Zhuo still has Lu Bu, sitting on 200,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry and Lu Bu's Bingzhou army, not to mention the soldiers and horses outside the palace, even if they kill Youzhou or Yizhou, Dong Zhuo will not blink.

"Wen You, is there no other way? Killing the Son of Heaven, don't say that it will damage the reputation of this Taishi, I am afraid that this Taishi will be reduced to the same as all the people in the future, and there will be no more orders for the world. The burning of Luoyang, Wen You must not mention it again, even if the capital is moved to Chang'an, it is not as prosperous as Luoyang City, this Taishi is used to enjoying himself, he can't endure hardship, and he will nest in this Luoyang City for the rest of his life, and he will not move the land. As for leading the troops straight out of the palace to fight with the various candidates' armies, this is a trivial matter, but what do Wen You think are the chances of winning? After all, the fierce generals under the command of this Taishi are far less brave than Lu Fengxian, and if they are killed by Cheng Yuanzhi, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others, I am afraid that they will not be able to form an army. ”

Dong Zhuo knew that Niu Fu and the others were too good to be used, and he was still hoping that Li Ru would be able to offer a strategy with a smaller cost, just like when Li Su went to persuade Lu Bu to surrender, he just led a red rabbit horse and brought some money, so he lured Lu Bu to Dong Zhuo, and voluntarily recognized Dong Zhuo as his adopted son.

Although the red rabbit horse is Dong Zhuo's own war horse, Dong Zhuo is still open-minded, and he will not be stingy when he should be generous, if Li Ru can use money or treasures to attract all kinds of people now, Dong Zhuo will definitely adopt this strategy to turn danger into relief.

There is no Red Rabbit Horse, Dong Zhuo still has the Seven-Star Knife, at most return the Seven-Star Knife to Cao Cao, and then give it to Cao Cao's high-ranking official Houlu or something, Dong Zhuo looked at Li Ru with longing eyes, hoping that Li Ru could give a positive look.

However, Li Ru shook his head, outside the palace, the remaining candidates are all as shrewd as foxes, but they will not be as easy to fool as Lu Bu, forgetting their righteousness when they see wealth, and they are lustful and ruthless.

You must know that the people who are now begging Dong are Cheng Yuanzhi, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Sun Jian and others.

Most of these people are determined, or have great plans, what Dong Zhuo can give them, they will not refuse, but they will definitely not spare Dong Zhuo, as long as Dong Zhuo is killed, everything Dong Zhuo has will still fall into their pockets.

"Father-in-law, the two armies are fighting, the outcome is unpredictable, and most of the chances of winning are only five or five points, but when there is a big battle, how can it be conclusive. The son-in-law couldn't figure out which strategy was better, but if he wanted to recruit people from all walks of life, the son-in-law still persuaded his father-in-law to put out his mind early. These candidates are all heroes among the people, heroes in troubled times, and they will not abandon their great cause because of some small favors. ”
