Chapter Eighty-Nine: Li Ru
"Li Ru ran away."
Jia Xu frowned a little when he heard the news, under his plan, Li Dao and Guo Yan had already consumed a lot of troops, and there were also many hidden dangers in their army.
That is the generals killed by Li Dao in the bloody night.
During the purge of the army, Jia Xu was very active in helping, but he actually deliberately protected some resentful Li Dao and Guo Yan to prepare for his next plan.
Moreover, under the bloody suppression of Li Dao, although some people in the army were not close associates of those generals, they were unwilling to continue to stay in the army and serve Li Dao.
All this only needs to wait for the strength of the two of them to weaken to a certain extent, and then it will explode at one time.
But the problem now is that Li Ru ran away.
On the day Dong Zhuo was killed, Li Ru did not succeed in escaping from Chang'an, he knew that he had nowhere to hide, so he actually scratched off the skin of his left face with a stone, turning his flesh and blood into a blur.
He lost most of his hair, fought with the people in the market with his hair scattered, and was finally arrested in Chang'an Prison.
But because of this, he successfully escaped the pursuit of Wang Yun, Lu Bu and others, and no one thought that the person he wanted to arrest actually lived in a prison in Chang'an.
Jia Xu knew that this person was Dong Zhuo's brainstorm, and when he heard that Li Ru's whereabouts were unknown, Jia Xu mobilized the power of the Night Eagle to find this person.
In the end, it was actually the people of the shadow guard who found out.
A shadow guard was accidentally arrested, and he was locked next to Li Ru in the prison.
Once Li Ru fell ill, developed a high fever, and talked in a daze.
After he listened to Li Ru's dream words, he knew that this person was most likely Li Ru, and after he came out, he told the news to the head of the shadow guard.
The shadow guard's mission this time is to kill Xiu'er, and they are not responsible for Chang'an's intelligence work. Although he and Nighthawk have been very unhappy recently because of Xiu'er's affairs, the head of the shadow guard also knows that this must be Qin Hua's meaning.
The contest between Shadow Guard and Nighthawk is actually a game between Qin Hua's father and son, of course, there is no grudge between the two of them, but their respective philosophies are different.
So the head of the shadow guard still decided to tell the news to the person who was Nighthawk, and later after verification, this person was indeed Li Ru.
Li Dao and others did more than Dong Zhuo in Chang'an, and people of insight did not bother to be with them at all, so even if those civil and military officials in Chang'an saw that someone was playing tricks during this period of time in Chang'an, they would not notify these two people.
But Li Ru is different, his current identity is similar to Li Dao and the others, that is to say, they are in the same boat.
And really, Li Ru personally led people to kill the young emperor Liu Bian, and his crime was still above Li Dao and others, which was the crime of killing the king.
So once Li Ru finds out about Jia Xu's plan, he will inevitably tell these two people.
Jia Xu had been busy separating Li Dao and Guo Yan before, so he was a little negligent about this person.
"Close the four doors, be sure to find this person, his left side of his face is blurred with flesh and blood, it is easy to identify, only the people with injuries on the left side of the face are all for me."
"Yes."
Although the guards were ordered to go to the major city gates, Jia Xu's heart was still a little uneasy.
"Let's go, Chang'an City is no longer safe, I'd better leave first."
Jia Xu was fearless before, even if he was exposed, he was not worried about his safety; But now that things have come to this point, once Li Dao and the others know that the previous series of things were their own plans, then they will definitely come back and skin themselves alive.
Thinking of this, Jia Xu didn't dare to stay any longer, and prepared to leave Chang'an immediately.
As for Li Ru, Jia Xu was originally going to have a good talk with Li Ru, explore this person's talents, and pull him under Qin Hua's command if possible, after all, Liangzhou is really short of talents.
But now that there is no such time, Jia Xu only gave one order, that is, to kill without mercy.
At this time, in the palace, Liu Xie, Liu Ai, and Dong Cheng were all carefully looking at the person in front of them.
This man's hair was messy, his face was haggard, and the most important thing was that the left side of his face was actually a blur of flesh and blood.
"Did you really kill Dong Zhuo for Wang Yun's plan?"
Dong Cheng asked with some uncertainty, he actually already knew the origin of this person, because this person was brought into the palace by Dong Cheng.
This is to clear up his own relationship, in case this person is a fake, the emperor is not to blame himself; And if this person is true, then he is a great achievement.
"Yes, the villain's name is Li Xian, the word Zhonghe, and he was originally a sword and pen official under Lu Bu. Because I didn't want to see His Majesty continue to be humiliated by Dong Zhuo, and I found that Lu Bu had two hearts for Dong Zhuo, I found Wang Situ and asked him to lobby Lu Bu. ”
This Li Xian is naturally Li Ru, he was forced to take a risk, and came to the palace, the only safe place in Chang'an City, because Dong Cheng held the forbidden army, he found him when Dong Cheng went to the palace.
Then Li Ru told Wang Yun's strategy from beginning to end, even including Wang Yun who came to persuade Liu Xie to use a fake edict to trick Dong Zhuo.
Li Ru said that this was his last resort, because only in this way would Dong Zhuo be fooled, so he persuaded Wang Yun for a long time.
In fact, when Wang Yun came to ask for the edict, he also burst into tears and confessed in every possible way.
Liu Xie actually didn't care about using a fake Zen edict to trick Dong Zhuo, he just wanted Dong Zhuo to die.
But Wang Yun thought that this would damage the majesty of the Han family, so it would be so.
Hearing this, Liu Xie and Liu Ai already believed eight points, because what this person said was not much different from that time.
In addition, the reason why this person came to the palace was because Li Daojun was arresting him everywhere, and he came to the palace to seek refuge as a last resort, and Jia Xu did ask the soldiers to go around to arrest such a person with an injury on the left side of his face.
Li Ru didn't really know what Wang Yun's reaction did when he came to the palace, he just analyzed Wang Yun's performance from Wang Yun's previous performance, as well as the final jumping from the city and martyrdom.
Seeing that Liu Xie and the others believed in him, Li Ru secretly sighed in his heart, it seemed that his little life had been saved.
Liu Xie is young and doesn't have many opinions, but Liu Ai feels that this person is talented, and he hopes that Liu Xie can keep this person by his side to give advice.
Liu Ai, the sect, saw the power of the Han family, and his heart was also very anxious.
I listened to the words of "Mr. Bei" before, got close to Dong Cheng, and obtained the military power of the forbidden army, which made Liu Ai a lot happier.
However, only more than 1,000 troops are obviously not enough, and if you want to reproduce the glory of the Han Dynasty, you need more talents and military power.
Although there are many princes in the world, there are a few who are willing to obey the emperor's orders, that is, Cao Cao, who came to the edict, and Liu Ai is also very uneasy.
"Mr. Li, you have made great contributions to Your Majesty, and Your Majesty will naturally protect you thoroughly. However, you should also know that His Majesty is now under the control of others, and if they forcibly break into the palace, it may be difficult to ensure that Mr. Yu is safe. ”
Li Ru naturally heard the meaning of Liu Ai's words, he wanted to let himself contribute to the emperor.
"It is my duty to do my best for Your Majesty, Lord Zongzheng must rest assured, I already have a plan."
"Huh? Let's hear it. ”
Liu Ai's eyes lit up suddenly, but he didn't expect this person to really have a plan.
Li Ru's strategy was actually very simple, that is, to take Liu Xie south, leave Guanzhong, and go to find the refuge of other princes.
And the object that Li Ru gave was Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao, who is now known as one of the eight horses of Jingzhou.
Liu Biao himself was a prince, and only by escaping to him could he have the opportunity to help the Han family, and Cao Cao was not in Li Ru's consideration at all.
Liu Ai and others also agreed with Li Ru's opinion, and they actually didn't count on Cao Cao.
Although Cao Cao's grandfather Cao Teng once helped Emperor Huan of Han ascend the throne, he was also named the Marquis of Fei Ting. But he is a eunuch after all, and now neither the emperor nor the hundred officials have a good impression of eunuchs.
As for Cao Cao's biological father Cao Song, needless to say, relying on Cao Teng's reputation and buying officials to be a captain, but this person has no great talent.
Cao Cao is also, although Cao Cao made contributions to the eradication of the Yellow Turban, and once governed Jinan in an orderly manner, but the people in the imperial capital know more about the debauchery of this person's youth and his penchant for fun.
Only Dong Cheng didn't think so, he actually wanted Emperor Xian to go to Yuan Shu, because he had been friends with Yuan Shu before.
Previously, when Wang Yun asked the princes from all over the country to send troops to Qin Wang, Dong Cheng also wrote a letter to Yuan Shu, but Yuan Shu refused on the grounds that the land was chaotic and there was no time to retreat, which made Dong Cheng very disappointed in Yuan Shu.
Yangzhou, how can it be compared to the emperor of the Han Dynasty.
Li Ru's plan was for Dong Cheng to secretly rebel against the defenders in Chang'an City and incorporate the 3,000 troops here, so that he could escape from Chang'an safely and increase the success rate of going to Jingzhou.
Because of Jia Xu's departure, the dragons in Chang'an City were leaderless, and many soldiers were dissatisfied with Li Ru.
In less than ten days, Dong Cheng really succeeded in controlling Chang'an City.
Although some of the soldiers chose to return to their hometowns, but with the soldiers who were captured when Li Dao attacked Chang'an, Dong Chengdong actually made a force of 4,000 people.
After they collected a large amount of supplies, Liu Xie led hundreds of civil and military officials to go down the Danshui River under the escort of Dong Cheng's 4,000 troops.
In this way, you can not only avoid the battle of the Tiger Pass, but also do not need to pass through Cao Cao's territory, you can directly pass through Nanyang County and go to Xiangyang County, where Liu Biao is located.
By the time Liu Xie officially left Chang'an, it was already nearly a month after Jia Xu left Chang'an.
At this time, there was also a new development in the war on the Yixian side.
Originally, the three parties did not move, each with a ghost.
Niu Fu believed that Li Dao and Guo Yan had come to attack him, and had been preparing to resist their attacks with all his might.
And Li Dao and the two did not dare to move first, they were worried that the other party would join forces with Niu Fu to besiege them together.
But it is not a way to stalemate like this, because the incident happened suddenly, and they did not bring much grain and grass, and after such a long confrontation, the grain and grass were about to run out.
The war is on the verge of breaking out.
