Chapter 15: Dong Zhuo attacks
"Bang!"
Dong Zhuo's face was gloomy, and he slapped the table case in front of him, smashing the obviously expensive table case.
Dong Zhuo was born as a military general, and he was also famous in Xiliang in his early years, and his cultivation in refining the body is also not to be underestimated, although after entering Luoyang, Dong Zhuo is gradually addicted to Luoyang's drunken gold fan, and his real combat power has decreased significantly, but his own cultivation has not fallen.
At this moment, a group of civil and military officers gathered under Dong Zhuo's command, including Li Ru, Niu Fu, Li Dao, Guo Yan, Fan Chou, Zhang Ji and others in the original Xiliang line, as well as Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and others in the new Bingzhou line under Dong Zhuo's command.
The reason why Dong Zhuo wanted to gather a group of civil and military forces under his command together was because Bishui Pass was broken by the Eighteenth Route Princes and Dong Coalition Army, Hu Zhen and Zhao Cen were killed in battle, and the news that Hua Xiong and Li Su fled to Tiger Prison Pass with more than 10,000 remnants of soldiers reached Dong Zhuo. After learning the news, Dong Zhuo sent people to gather a group of civil and military officers under his command, and on the other hand, he was furious, and many valuable items were poisoned by Dong Zhuo.
When he was almost vented, Dong Zhuo's emotions calmed down. As soon as his emotions calmed down, Dong Zhuo's eyes fell on Li Ru and asked: "Wen You, now that the princes of the Eighteenth Route of the Kwantung have gathered 300,000 troops and have broken through the Bishui Pass, Huaxiong and Li Su are now retreating to the Tiger Prison Pass, what can you do to break the princes of the Eighteenth Road?" ”
Dong Zhuo started in Xiliang, and Xiliangjun is his descendant, and among these descendants, Dong Zhuo trusts two people the most, one is Li Ru and the other is Niu Fu. And the reason why Dong Zhuo trusts Li Ru and Niu Fu the most is because Li Ru and Niu Fu are both Dong Zhuo's sons-in-law, and the two of them have assisted Dong Zhuo in their rise from the end of the world, and they have come all the way to the present, and they are most valued and trusted by Dong Zhuo.
Hearing Dong Zhuo ask himself, Li Ru raised his head, looked at Dong Zhuo with his eyes, and said after thinking for a moment: "Father-in-law, although this coalition of princes is powerful and has broken through the Bishui Pass, after all, it is the princes of the Eighteenth Road, not the princes of the Eighteenth Road. ”
Dong Zhuo was a little moved when he heard this, and said, "Oh? Wen You has a clever plan? ”
Li Ru said with a smile: "Among the princes of the Eighteen Roads, Jizhou Mu Han Fu, the later general Yuan Shu, Bohai Taishou Yuan Shao and others are the father-in-law who appointed himself to reward the official position, the father-in-law only needs to let out a little rumor, and the rest of the princes and these people will definitely be suspicious of each other, as long as the princes of the Eighteen Roads are separated from each other, don't say that they only have an army of 300,000, even if they have an army of millions, what are they afraid of?" ”
After listening to Li Ru's words, Dong Zhuo's eyes lit up.
Dong Zhuo was able to rise from the poor mountains and bad waters in Xiliang, Li Ru can be said to be his greatest hero, it is with Li Ru's assistance that Dong Zhuo has today, even if Dong Zhuo, who has now lost his ambition, still retains full trust in Li Ru's wisdom.
Just when Dong Zhuo was about to adopt Li Ru's strategy, opposite Li Ru, Lu Bu smiled disdainfully: "Father-in-law doesn't have to be like this, Li Junshi's plan is good, but it's just a group of Kwantung rats, why bother, the child asks for his life, and goes to kill this group of Kwantung rats for his father-in-law." ”
Seeing Lu Bu standing up to fight, Dong Zhuo's mind beat again. In Dong Zhuo's heart, Li Ru's strategy is certainly useful, but after all, it will take some time to take effect, but if Lu Bu personally goes out, it should not be a problem to defeat the alliance of the eighteenth princes with Lu Bu's strength.
"Good!" Dong Zhuo twisted his somewhat fat body at this time, and said to Lu Bu: "Since my son has this heart, what if I allow you?" ”
"Thank you, father!"
Looking at Lu Bu, Li Ru's eyes rolled, and he was no longer speechless about the strategy he had just offered. Unlike the original Xiliang Army under Dong Zhuo's command, after Lu Bu killed Ding Yuan and returned to Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo had another army under Dong Zhuo. Moreover, after Lu Bu returned to Dong Zhuo, there was constant friction between the Xiliang army and the Bingzhou army, but fortunately, it was still within a controllable range.
For the struggle between the Xiliang system and the Bingzhou system, although Li Ru's identity does not affect him, he is also from Xiliang after all, and between the two factions of the Xiliang system and the Bingzhou system, Li Ru is obviously inclined to the Xiliang system.
And Li Ru also knew that Lu Bu had always looked down on him, and since Lu Bu had asked for war at this time, Li Ru would not fight Li Ru face to face. Arguing head-on with a powerful general is not what a wise man should do, if he encounters some arrogant and unreasonable generals, he may be killed on the spot by the other party in a fit of rage.
Looking at Dong Zhuo's now fat and bloated huge body, Li Ru sighed in his heart, and then said to Dong Zhuo: "Father-in-law, this time the alliance of the princes of the Eighteenth Route is coming, and my father-in-law should personally lead the troops to attack to deter the world." ”
"Not bad." Dong Zhuo has a lot of trust in Li Ru, for so many years, if there was no Li Ru, Dong Zhuo knew that he would never be able to go today, and Dong Zhuo believed that Li Ru would not harm himself. Therefore, Dong Zhuo did not think about whether Li Ru's words contained some other meanings.
"Okay, I'm going to see what these Kanto rats have to dare to raise troops against me, just to let them see what the elite is."
Looking at Dong Zhuo at this time, Li Ru was slightly stunned, at this time, he seemed to see the Xiliang warrior in the past, the Dong Zhuo who made Li Ru see the hope of the rise of the children of the Han family.
Seeing this, Li Ru's originally cold heart became hot again, and he said to Dong Zhuo: "Father-in-law, now among the princes of the Eighteen Roads, the two brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu are the strongest, these two are both from the Runan Yuan family, and Taifu Yuan Kui is also from the Runan Yuan family, and is the uncle of Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu. And you can also use Yuan Kui's head to deter the princes of the Eighteen Roads, so that they know the fate of going against their father-in-law. ”
Dong Zhuo laughed cruelly when he heard this, and said, "Li Dao, Guo Yan, the two of you will lead five hundred people to bring Yuan Kui's head to me." ”
For Yuan Kui, Dong Zhuo has long been unpleasant, but after listening to Li Ru's words at this moment, he made a decisive decision.
After Li Dao and Guo Yan led 500 Xiliang soldiers to kill Yuan Kui, Dong Zhuo ordered people to take Yuan Kui's head and lead 100,000 troops, together with Li Ru, Lu Bu, Zhang Ji, Fan Chou, Li Dao, and Guo Yan, and rushed to Hujiao Pass to join Huaxiong to join the 18th Route Princes.
