Lang Zhongling's mansion, backyard.

In the pavilion, Li Ruzheng was drinking with Niu Fu.

Niu Fu looked comfortable, took a piece of tofu and sent it to his mouth, swallowed it with a sigh, with an intoxicated expression, and said with emotion: "Wenyou, I have to say that the dishes created by Wang Lei are delicious." You see, this simple and ordinary tofu can make such a taste, which is a miracle, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a miracle. The tofu we used to eat tasteless tastelessly, how can it have the current color and flavor. This kid is still a great poet and a great calligrapher, how did his head grow? ”

Li Ru snorted and said, "Don't be ambitious and destroy your own prestige." ”

Niu Fu said: "How can I have it, this cooking skill is really good." ”

Li Ru snorted and said, "Wang Lei's head is very bright, but he has ill intentions. His cooking skills flattered Xiangguo and the group of ill-intentioned ministers, and he was left and right. You say, is it good for us? ”

Niu Fu chewed his mouth, swallowed the pig's trotter meat with a sigh, spit out the bones, and said, "I don't have your ability, nor do you have the mind to take care of things." Anyway, I think it's good to eat, and it's more comfortable in the future. ”

Li Ru shook his head, reluctantly picked up the wine bottle, raised his head and drank it all.

Both of them are Dong Zhuo's sons-in-law, but their status is different.

Li Ru is Dong Zhuo's right-hand man, with great power in his hands, and if he stomps his feet, Chang'an will be earthquaked. However, Niu Fu is just a military general stationed at the checkpoint, and he only returns to Chang'an once in a while, and his power is far less than that of Li Ru.

The two were eating, drinking, and chatting.

Niu Fu saw Li Ru's sad face, and knew that this guy definitely wanted to kill Wang Lei.

It's a pity that Wang Lei is not jealous.

Niu Fu thought for a while and said, "Wenyou, this matter, I think it was caused by yourself." Wang Lei stayed in Jizhou at the beginning, and he would not have come to Chang'an. It was you who kept prying Xiangguo and asked Xiangguo to transfer Wang Lei to Chang'an. Now, Wang Lei is thriving in Chang'an, becoming a climate, and famous all over the world, and you think that Wang Lei's stay in Chang'an is a scourge. If you knew this was the case, you shouldn't have let Wang Lei come! ”

The corners of Li Ru's mouth twitched, did he lift a stone to shoot himself in the foot?

It's just that there is no regret medicine in this world! Li Ru thought about it, his eyes widened, and he asked, "Niu Fu, what did you say in your last sentence just now?" ”

Niu Fu was stunned, he couldn't figure out what Li Ru was going to do? Seeing Li Ruxu's appearance, Niu Fu said: "I said that you knew this was the case, and you shouldn't have let Wang Lei come to Chang'an in the first place." ”

"Hahaha......"

Suddenly, Li Ru laughed loudly.

This laughter reached Niu Fu's ears, making Niu Fu's heart seep panic.

This guy shouldn't be crazy!

Seeing that Li Ru's eyes narrowed into a line, Niu Fu knew that Li Ru had bad intentions, this time, I was afraid that Wang Lei would suffer. However, Niu Fu still disagreed with Li Ru, and said in his heart: "Li Ru is really pitiful, he is wholeheartedly planning for Xiangguo, he is heartbroken, and he is thankless, he is still so comfortable, what are you doing with so many things!" ”

Li Ru arched his hand and said, "I have to go to the dock, you can eat by yourself." ”

Niu Fu rolled his eyes, Li Ru left, he ate tastelessly alone, and after eating a few bites, he also got up and left Li Ru's mansion. Li Ru changed a set of clothes and rushed directly to the dock.

After arriving at the dock, Li Ru, led by the soldiers, came to the study.

Dong Zhuo asked, "Wen You, is there something wrong?" ”

Li Ru looked humble and said respectfully: "Returning to Xiangguo, there is indeed one thing. Yesterday morning, Jiangdong Sun Ce sent an envoy to Chang'an to meet Xiangguo. ”

Dong Zhuo raised his eyebrows and asked, "For what?" ”

Li Ru replied: "Sun Ce wants to seek the position of Wu Jun Taishou, and at the same time, he wants to marry Xiangguo's daughter. ”

Dong Zhuo frowned and said: "This Sun Ce is Sun Jian's son, in the past, when he saw Sun Jian, he was a talent, and he took the initiative to woo Sun Jian, wanting to marry his daughter to Sun Jian's son, but unfortunately Sun Jian directly refused." Now, Sun Ce took the initiative to ask for his true daughter, probably for the position of Wu Jun's Taishou. ”

Li Ru nodded and replied, "Xiangguo is wise, and he also thinks that Sun Ce is for the post of Wu Juntai. However, if Xiangguo can win over Sun Ce, it will be worth it. Sun Ce and Yuan Shu were next to each other, and they were adjacent to Liu Biao in Jingzhou. If Sun Ce rises in Wu County, he will definitely be able to contain Yuan Shu and Liu Biao. That Liu Bei seized the jade seal of the country, and he was Sun Ce's father-killing enemy, and now Liu Bei controls Runan, and he has gradually become a powerful party, which is not easy to control. As long as Sun Ce's strength develops, the south must contain each other, and the country will be ruled by the arch, and that will be peace of mind. ”

Dong Zhuo's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but nod his head in praise.

This analysis is not bad!

After thinking about it carefully, Dong Zhuo said: "Your suggestion is very good, after Sun Ce's rise, it can indeed balance the situation in the south." That Liu Bei claimed to be a bullshit royal clansman, and he was annoyed when he looked at it. It's not bad to have Sun Ce thinking about Liu Bei. This matter Benxiang agreed, and you replied to Sun Ce's envoy and prepared to marry Benxiang's daughter. ”

Li Ru said again: "On the way to Jiangdong, I'm afraid it won't be calm. Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Yuan Shu, and Liu Biao will not sit idly by and watch the marriage of Xiangguo and Sun Ce. ”

Dong Zhuo said impatiently: "Tell me directly, what do you have in mind?" ”

Li Ru said: "Since you want to get married, you must be successful. This time, the mission went to Jiangdong, and it was suggested that Lu Bu and Wang Lei be sent to accompany them for protection. With Lu Bu and Wang Lei here, there are three benefits. ”

"First, Lu Bu and Wang Lei are both first-class generals in the world, with superb martial arts, leading troops to Jiangdong, all the way through the spheres of influence of various princes, they will definitely strengthen the prestige of the Xiliang army, so that the princes of the world dare not underestimate Xiangguo."

"Second, Lu Bu and Wang Lei led the troops to escort them, and after they arrived in Wu County, they could also give Sun Ce a strong momentum, so that the strength around Wu County would not dare to underestimate Sun Ce, and ensure Sun Ce's rapid rise."

"Third, our strength is strong, and after Sun Ce saw it, he didn't dare to despise the people he married in the past."

Li Ru talked eloquently, and his analysis was straightforward.

"I'm okay with this matter, and I'll marry Sun Ce." The corners of Dong Zhuo's mouth hooked up a smile and said: "Among the daughters of the prime minister, Dong Yu is sixteen years old this year, and she has reached the age of marriage, and Dong Yu will marry. ”

"Yes!"

Li Ru bowed his hand and said, "Xiangguo, I will immediately bring Sun Ce's envoy Zhu Zhi to the dock." ”

Dong Zhuo shook his head and said, "No need, you can arrange it directly." ”

"Please rest assured that the humble post must be properly arranged." The corners of Li Ru's mouth hooked up a smile, and he respectfully withdrew from the study. After leaving the dock, Li Ru returned to the mansion and arranged for someone to deliver the news.

Zhu Zhi got the news and was ecstatic.

Unexpectedly, I completed the task of this trip directly.

On the way to Chang'an, Zhu Zhi thought that it would be difficult to move an inch, but he didn't expect Li Ru to give his full support, and it would be so smooth. Zhu Zhi went to Li Ru's mansion again, met Li Ru, and after some discussion, returned to his residence to wait.

Wang Lei's house, study.

After the news came, Wang Lei's face was solemn, he didn't expect such an order. What does it mean that he, as a pastor of Jizhou, went to Jiangdong as the deputy envoy of the mission? He is not an official in the court, and escorting Dong Zhuo's daughter to marry is simply ridiculous!
