In one night, the Xiliang army lost about 3,000, which can be described as a very huge loss.

Zhang Ming's bow and crossbow were too strong, and at close range, they were divided into three waves and attacked non-stop, which was simply their nightmare.

The confrontation between the two armies, Ding Yuan has been paying attention.

Dong Zhuo actually dared to depose the emperor, and his ambition was exposed.

After daybreak, the other gates opened.

Yuan Shao immediately ran out in fright.

He openly opposed Dong Zhuo last night, and Dong Zhuo killed several officials on the spot.

At this time, Yuan Shao dared to continue to work against Dong Zhuo, and he didn't know when he was killed.

On that day, many officials ran away, and they abandoned their officials and fled, running away without a trace.

And bigwigs such as Yuan Kui and Wang Yun, they are still in Luoyang City and have not left.

Dong Zhuo's power is high, and after last night's incident, only Ding Yuan and Zhang Ming are his biggest threats.

Dong Zhuo listened to Li Ru's suggestion and planned to dispose of Ding Yuan first.

"Wenyou, have you thought of a way?"

Li Ru bent down and bowed his head to salute, and then said, "Prime Minister, you need to ease up with Zhang Ming first and divide his alliance with Ding Yuan." ”

"How to mitigate? How to differentiate? ”

"But Feng Zhangming is a lieutenant, let him enter the court as an official, this lieutenant is one of the three dukes, his status is very noble, he is young, he may be confused by the official position."

Dong Zhuo nodded, just a captain.

"Okay, do it now."

Li Ru immediately went to get a holy decree, the holy decree was written by himself, and the jade seal was also covered by himself, and soon a holy decree of the Taiwei was completed.

Li Ru didn't dare to delay and personally brought people over.

"I'm Li Ru, I want to see Zhang Ming."

Li Ru arrived at the north gate and proposed to see Zhang Ming.

After the transmission, Li Ru was invited to the city.

When he went up to the city, Li Ru deliberately observed it and found that there were many sandbags blocking it below, forming irregular walls.

Their cavalry could not charge into battle, and after two lanes, the horses must have lost their speed and could no longer charge forward, and the crossbow bolts were their nightmare.

Li Ru knew in his heart that it was already very difficult to subdue Zhang Ming by force, and they Xiliang Army didn't know how many people to fill in this preparation.

Li Ru went to the city, and Zhang Ming set up a table at the head of the city, and was boiling water to make tea.

And the equipment for boiling water is the gas that Zhang Ming burst out last night, and after a little transformation, a simple gas stove will be used first.

"Please take a seat."

Zhang Ming made Li Ru a cup of tea.

Li Ru was surprised that Zhang Ming was not black-faced, nor did he give him a horse, etc., but was so polite.

Li Ru bowed, and then placed the holy decree on the table.

"Protector General..."

"I'm not in a hurry for anything else, drink tea first."

Zhang Ming planned Li Ru's words, and then began to drink tea.

After drinking two cups of tea, Li Ru spoke again: "Prime Minister..."

"Wen Xiansheng, you can take a look at the layout of our army, you can see it on both sides of the city."

Li Ru really stood up, he had already seen it inside the city, the outside of the city was very simple, the military camp was next to the city gate, and although Zhang Ming had five thousand people outside the city, he didn't plan to defend it.

There is a city gate and a city wall, there is no need to defend the outside at all, the enemy kills, and the five thousand outside the city are cavalry, just run away.

With 5,000 people outside, it is impossible for the Xiliang army to attack the city outside, otherwise it will be attacked by surprise, and it will be miserable at that time.

Li Ru knew Zhang Ming's arrangement, sat down helplessly, and then said: "General Protector, are you bent on making enemies with the prime minister?" ”

"Not exactly."

Zhang Ming continued to make tea, very calm.

Li Ru pushed the holy decree over, and then said: "This is the holy decree of the general of the Protector State, the Captain." ”

Zhang Ming put down the teacup in his hand, chuckled and said, "Wen Xiansheng, this Taiwei is the third duke, so who is bigger than the county order?" ”

"Of course, the Captain..."

Taiwei is big, but Li Ru can't go on.

Because, the county commander has real power, and this captain has no power.

Although it is the third duke, compared with the county order, there is really no way to compare.

Li Ru knew that it was absolutely impossible to buy Zhang Ming with a county order.

Since it was impossible, it was difficult for him to say any more.

"General Protector, what conditions do you want, might as well come and say?"

"How about my tea? Take two pounds back. ”

Zhang Ming sent tea, but also sent off.

Li Ru was interested, saluted Zhang Ming again, and then left.

The bribery failed, and Li Ru knew that it was a failure to win over Zhang Ming by ordinary people.

If you change people and hear about the official position of the captain, maybe you will have to do it a long time ago.

Li Ru went back and reported to Dong Zhuo.

After Dong Zhuo left, Zhang Ming took the holy decree and threw it out and said, "Send someone to Ding Yuan's assassination." ”

Zhang Ming didn't know what this Ding Yuan would think, but he wanted to make a gesture to show that he would not be bought by Dong Zhuo.

In the palace, Dong Zhuo was rarely not angry, but asked with a dark face: "Is there any other way?" ”

"Prime Minister, you can continue to buy Zhang Ming, and you can give up the position of Prime Minister to him, indicating that the two sides jointly control the government and the Prime Minister is subordinate to him."

"So, how is it possible?" Dong Zhuo said angrily.

Li Ru hurriedly knelt down and said: "Prime Minister, it's an expedient measure, as long as Zhang Ming is fooled, we can clean up Ding Yuan, and we can capture and kill Zhang Ming, and no one in the whole world dares to be an enemy of the Prime Minister." ”

Dong Zhuo thought for a while, nodded and said, "That's fine." ”

Li Ru said: "Today's Guan Zhangming is a smart person, maybe he won't be fooled, but he can separate the relationship between him and Ding Yuan, this Zhang Ming doesn't accept it, it doesn't mean that Ding Yuan is not suspicious." ”

Dong Zhuo nodded, still with a dark face, and said, "Go and do it quickly." ”

Li Ru hurriedly went to do it, he first sent someone to deliver the news to Ding Yuan.

In the morning, Li Ru went to find Zhang Ming, and Ding Yuan had already received the news.

Soon after Li Ru left, Zhang Ming sent someone to send the holy decree to Ding Yuanna.

Ding Yuan looked at the holy decree and said with a sneer: "This Dong Zhuo is quite willing, Taiwei, one of the three dukes, how high his status is." ”

Lu Bu said unconvinced: "I think, how can this Tai Lieutenant Zhang Ming be qualified, it is almost the same for his father-in-law." ”

"Captain?" Ding Yuan sneered and said: "The military power in his hand is real, what is the use of a captain." ”

Soon, Ding Yuan received that Dong Zhuo wanted to give Zhang Ming the position of prime minister.

This Lu Bu came in a hurry after receiving the news.

"Father-in-law, this Zhang Ming has to cooperate with Dong Zhuo, a captain is not moved, is the prime minister still not moved?"

Lu Bu was anxious.

"Don't worry, I'll send someone to ask Zhang Ming."

Ding Yuan also had doubts, if the two cooperated, he would be very dangerous.

This is Li Ru's divisive plan.

Li Ru came to Zhang Ming again, and Zhang Ming naturally invited Li Ru to the city very politely.

"Wen Xiansheng, why is it here again, but what's the good news?"

This time, Li Ru also brought gifts, several boxes of gifts.

"General Protector, this Prime Minister apologizes to you, it was all a misunderstanding before."
