Chapter 106, Li Ru scheming, the official worships his father

The other princes had just walked a day's journey, and they heard that Lu Bu and others had captured the Tiger Prison Pass, and they also wanted to run to get a piece of the pie, so they all returned with their troops, but they were all rejected by Lu Bu's army outside the city, and they couldn't even enter the Tiger Prison Pass.

In the big tent, Cao Cao said, "This time, thanks to General Fengxian who climbed the cliff and opened the gate of the Tiger Prison Pass with the strength of one person, we can successfully capture the Tiger Prison Pass, come, let's pay tribute to General Xian with a glass of wine."

The generals drank a glass of wine together.

Cao Cao's face moved slightly, and then he spoke, "But now that all the princes have returned, isn't it a little bad for us to keep them out of the city like this."

"What's wrong, such people who are greedy for life and afraid of death, are reluctant to send a soldier and a soldier, and think about sharing the credit, how can there be such a good thing in the world", Sun Jian said loudly.

Liu Bei's power was already weak, and now he was even more worried that the other princes would enter the Tiger Prison Pass and steal his credit, so he immediately spoke, "General Sun Jian is right, how can these people who are greedy for life and afraid of death let them in, and when the time comes, won't the credit of the four of us be divided by eighteen people, so much can't be counted."

Zhang Fei suddenly raised his head and said, "Hey, big brother, when the fierce battle against the Xiliang thieves, Yi Deben still wanted to protect the eldest brother, why can't I see you all the time."

Liu Bei's face turned red, "I'..... Tens of thousands of troops are fighting, people are chaotic everywhere, and it's normal that you can't see me."

Zhang Fei nodded with a simple face, and said softly, "That's right, big brother must not stay too far away from me in the future, so that Yide can also protect big brother well."

Lu Bu's heart trembled slightly, and he regretted more and more that he didn't rush to snatch Zhang Fei before Liu Bei, such a loyal and righteous person is hard to find in the world.

The corners of Guo Jia's mouth showed a chuckle, this Liu Bei is already greedy for life and afraid of death, when the army attacked the city, he didn't attack at all, and waited until the city tower set up the banner of Sun Zi, Liu Bei then rushed out with a double-strand sword.

Cao Cao continued, "The princes of the Quartet are all masters of tigers and wolves, utilitarian people, and ambitious, if you don't share a piece of the pie with them, you will inevitably offend them."

In fact, what Cao Cao said was not reasonable, but Lu Bu didn't care at all, and said in a sonorous tone, "This tiger prison was originally taken by us at the risk of our lives, why should we share it with them, the army of tigers and wolves?" I, Lu Bu, am not afraid of the heroes of the world."

When Cao Cao heard this, his heart trembled slightly, this Lu Bu is destined to become a generation of heroes, and his future achievements are immeasurable.

Although Sun Jian didn't speak, he was more and more impressed by Lu Bu, such a person must be befriended.

Lu Bu continued, "Let's rest for a day in the Tiger Prison Pass, and at dawn tomorrow, we will raise our troops to fight, and attack Luoyang City in one go, kill Dong thief, and save the young emperor from danger."

"Then the princes of the Quartet will deal with it like this", Cao Cao said.

Lu Bu said indifferently, "Let them wait outside the pass, when we capture Luoyang City and behead Dong Thief, we will naturally open the city gate and let them in."

Sun Jian and Liu Bei expressed their approval, and then everyone dispersed.

In Luoyang City, Li Ru and Guo Yan returned to Luoyang City with thousands of remnants overnight, Dong Zhuo heard that the Tiger Prison Pass had been broken, and his face turned blue with anger in an instant, and he stood in the hall and walked around, looking very anxious.

Li Ru had just escaped from the Tiger Prison, his hair was disheveled, his clothes were ragged, and he looked like a beggar on the street.

"Wen You is my brain trust, and now that the tiger prison has been broken, what can I do to defend against the enemy", Dong Zhuo said with a panicked face.

Li Ru's throat moved slightly, he pondered for a while, and then said, "Lord Xiangguo doesn't have to worry, at present, the allied army only has Lu Bu, Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Sun Jian, four departments, and the strength is less than 20,000 people, our army still has the Imperial Forest Army, the Xiyuan Army, the Xiliang Army, a total of 60,000 soldiers and horses, and there are still Guo Yan, Hu Che'er, Zhang Ji, Xu Rong, Li Meng, Wang Fang, Duan Xuan and others in the army.

Hearing this, Dong Zhuo's heart that had been hanging slowly fell, and he was slightly happy in his heart.

Although the thief army is brave, there are still 60,000 soldiers and horses in their hands, so why be afraid!

Li Ru continued, "The young emperor is young and ignorant, lacks moral character, and cannot worship the temple at the top, and cannot sympathize with the people, so it is difficult to take on a grand responsibility. Why don't you be like the Qin Dynasty Xiangguo Lu Buwei, marry the Empress Dowager He, worship the father, and take charge of the court, in this way, when the war is on behalf of the sky, the people's will, the thief army can be undefeated! ”

"Marrying Empress Dowager He?"

Hearing this, Dong Zhuo's eyes couldn't help but widen slightly, and his eyes flashed with blazing light.

Empress Dowager He is the mother of a country, if she marries Empress Dowager He, wouldn't it be logical to become the lord of the Han Dynasty and rule the world.

"So, when is it possible?" , Dong Zhuo asked.

Li Ru responded, "Right now, Lord Xiangguo is a sword, and all officials are fish and meat, how can I not do it."

Dong Zhuo was overjoyed, "Tomorrow in the court, I will announce this matter in front of hundreds of civil and military officials, marry the Empress Dowager He, worship the father, take charge of the court, fight on behalf of the sky, and defeat the thief army in one fell swoop."

Li Ru's face was slightly happy, "In this way, Lord Xiangguo should become the lord of a country, above ten million people."

Dong Zhuo looked up to the sky and let out a long laugh, and his heart became more and more happy.

On the second day of the court, the eunuch shouted in a loud voice as always, "If there is something to start, there is nothing to retreat from."

When the civil and military officials heard that Lu Bu, Cao Cao and others had broken through the Tiger Pass, they were all overjoyed, and they didn't dare to do much at the moment, so they just waited for Lu Bu and others to attack Luoyang City, kill Dong Thief, and save the Han Dynasty from danger.

The court was quiet, and no one played.

Dong Zhuo cleared his throat, and then said, "Since the ministers have nothing to do, let me say one thing, at present, the young emperor is young and ignorant, lacks morality, and he can't worship the temple, and he can't sympathize with the people, so it's difficult to take on a grand role." Although the Empress Dowager He listened to the government, but the affairs of the court could not be decided by a woman, I thought about it and decided to follow the example of Qin Prime Minister Lu Buwei, marry the Empress Dowager He, worship the father, take charge of the court for the Son of Heaven, and then transfer this power to him when the young emperor is an adult."

The entire court immediately became chaotic, and one of the ministers said angrily, "Dong thief, you can say such a great rebellion, and you will definitely suffer from heaven."

Dong Zhuo laughed and said, "Haha, how can such a thing for the country and the people be called a great rebellion, this matter has been decided, and you must no longer have any objections."

Empress Dowager He has been bullied by Dong Zhuo recently, and she can only endure it for the sake of the young emperor.

But as the mother of a country, how could she suffer such humiliation, and scolded angrily, "The mourning family is the mother of a country, the same as the emperor, how can you be allowed to blaspheme, you are just a remote general, relying on the meritorious service of saving the driver, the official occupies the position of the country, you don't want to serve the country, you actually have the intention of usurping the Han throne, what is the difference between this and a traitorous minister."

"Hahaha", Dong Zhuo looked up to the sky and laughed loudly, "I have slept in the emperor's dragon bed, and I married the Empress Dowager He, isn't this a smooth thing."

All the officials were shocked, Mrs. He's face turned red, she was annoyed and angry, and raised the jade seal in her hand and threw it at Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo's body was slightly off, just dodged, and then strode up to the court, slapped the face of the Empress Dowager He with a "snap", and scolded angrily, "Ignorant woman, how dare you hit me with a jade seal, if you don't want to be the queen, I can find someone to do it for you."

Empress Dowager He's face showed a trace of anger, she could still swallow her anger for the sake of the young emperor in the past, but now Dong Thief actually wants to let herself marry him, which is naturally impossible.

stood up and smashed the phoenix crown on his head to the ground, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, "Such a queen, don't do it."

Dong Zhuo saw that the plan could not be realized, and he wanted to threaten him with force, and he was about to give orders.

The spies at the door rushed in with a anxious face, and said in an urgent voice, "Lord Qi Xiangguo, the thief army is like a bamboo, approaching the south city gate, Guo Yan, General Hu Che'er has been defeated and retreated, please give a signal to Lord Xiangguo."

Dong Zhuo's face was frightened, and he couldn't care about these things at the moment, so he quickly ran out of the Jiade Hall and ran towards the south city gate.
