Sure enough, after Dong Zhuo paused, he continued:

"Ah Min is now in Luoyang, Ah Yue needs to be in charge of the soldiers and horses in the camp, and after all, it is a Shu clan, I intend for you and Huang'er to go to Liangzhou, Wen You, are you willing?"

Li Ru's heart was turbulent, but his face pretended to be impassive. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Dong Zhuo means that his brother Dong Min is now running for himself in Luoyang, and although Dong Yue in the army is Dong Zhuo's clan, he is a distant relative after all, and he is in charge of the soldiers and horses in the army like Niu Fu, so he can't leave easily. Therefore, the people around him who are suitable for him at the moment are Li Ru and his nephew Dong Huang, who sent Li Ru to Liangzhou to gather people for himself and lay out in advance, which is indeed the best choice at the moment.

Li Ru knew that Dong Zhuo's hometown of Lintao was now the situation of Si Chen, and regardless of the continuous military disasters along the road, just after returning to Lintao, on the one hand, he had to deal with the interrogation of the old lady of the Dong family, and he also had to devote his energy to deal with the arrogant and ruthless little lady of the Dong family, plus Dong Huang was mediocre, and his family could be said to have to do everything himself, and there were constant troubles. It's not like Dong Zhuo's trust and delegation of power in Dong Ying, and he can let it go, but this errand is really not easy to do.

It's a pity that since Dong Zhuo has already named Li Ru, although he is asking on the surface, it is obvious that he wants Li Ru to do it himself. Li Ru knows Dong Zhuo's temperament very well, once someone disobeys his will, he will definitely change color and be furious, making the disobedient person pay a painful price.

Li Ru didn't want to touch Dong Zhuo's angry head, so he hurriedly made a noise and took over this difficult matter. And Dong Zhuo saw that Li Ru knew his intentions, and he also laughed heartily at the moment, and he smoothed his beard while encouraging his wisdom.

After some encouragement, Li Ru finally returned his account and left.

After leaving Dong Zhuo's big tent, Li Ru stood in the open space outside the tent, took a long breath, and after analyzing the current situation in the DPRK and China for Dong Zhuo and planning the next march, he took on another thorny and difficult matter. It is sometimes extremely difficult for those who work hard to govern people, Li Ru immediately felt that he was a little tired, he forcibly held back the fatigue in his mind, and walked in the direction of his military tent.

···

"Master book, Captain Xu in the army is here to visit!"

Li Ru returned to his military tent, and finally couldn't help the tiredness that swelled up, so he lay down on the case pile of military newspaper documents to take a nap, but unfortunately he had just fallen asleep, and the sound of the officials under the tent sounded outside the tent.

Li Ru was suddenly awakened, his face was pale, and he just wanted to get angry, but after hearing that it was "Captain Xu", the tiredness in his mind suddenly cleared, and he hurriedly straightened out his clothes and went out to greet him.

There is no one else in Dong Zhuo's army, only Xu Rong, who just held Chen Cangcheng not long ago and made the first contribution to the army. Although Li Ru is trusted by Dong Zhuo, he is also the "chief bookkeeper" and "joining the army", he can speak out on both the military and political sides, and he is Dong Zhuo's henchman and think tank in terms of planning and planning, and Dong Zhuo is almost obedient to him.

However, Li Ru also has his own shortcomings, he is alone in the army, and he has never been in charge of the army, and he has never had the opportunity to lead the army to make meritorious contributions, so there are no other henchmen or generals in the army who can help. Previously, he wanted to subdue the hearts of those Liangzhou rebel captives, and among them was the intention of cultivating a few military centers for himself, but now Xu Rong, who had never had a personal relationship with him, suddenly came, so he had to attract the attention of Li Ru himself.

Speaking of which, Xu Rong is indeed a big help that Li Ru intends to woo, Li Ru, who is alone and on the outside, can say that the bystanders are clear, and he can see that at present, in addition to Niu Fu, Dong Yue, Dong Huang's relatives who are in charge of the army, there are also the Liangzhou general faction formed by Li Dao, Guo Yan, Zhang Ji and others, as well as the faction headed by Xu Rong, and the rest such as Duan Xuan, Fan Chou and others, are either Mingzhe to protect themselves, or Dong Zhuo's pure henchmen.

Like Dong Yue, Niu Fu, and Dong Huang themselves are Dong Zhuo's relatives, Li Ru can't move to win them over, and like Li Dao, Guo Yan and others, there are many Liangzhou generals in the army, and they are intertwined, and Li Ru is not easy to win over. On the contrary, Xu Rong himself, born in Liaodong, although he has followed Dong Zhuo for many years and has made many military exploits, but for various reasons, he cannot integrate into other factions, and because of his repeated meritorious achievements, he stands out, and has a faint tendency to become a unique faction.

Li Ru is attached to Dong Zhuo, in the future, Dong Zhuo will become a member of the imperial court and a very popular minister, Li Ru will naturally be able to rise to the top, but if you want to go further, you can't be without someone in the army, and although Xu Rong has repeatedly made military exploits, but compared to Dong Yue and other relatives or Li Dao, Guo Yan and other cool people, after all, they are weak, and the two can complement each other.

At that moment, Li Ru went out of the account to welcome Xu Rong, the two laughed a few words, Li Ru invited Xu Rong into the account to talk, and it happened that Xu Rong also had this intention, so the two of them entered the account and sat down with the guest of honor, and then there were small officials who offered hot soup and waited outside the account after tidying up.

Xu Rong is sturdy, wearing armor and a sword, and dressed like a military general, but he is not a pure martial artist like Guo Yan and Fan Chou. He knelt on the seat, and after seeing the pile of bamboo slips that had just been sorted out by the little official on the side of the case, he couldn't help but praise with emotion:

"Master Li's chief clerk is a military machine, and he deals with the case documents, and the pile of bamboo slips in the account shows that Master Li is really a diligent and capable official, and there is a master book in the army, which is really a blessing!"

"Haha, Captain Xu praised it falsely, Confucianism is just a mediocre official, and his intelligence is inferior, so he added it with diligence. However, it is Captain Xu, who has both civil and military resources, Chen Cang City, commanding Ruoding, with a city of land, trapping a division of 100,000, and then he is even more powerful to break the enemy and pursue a hundred miles. The assets of such famous generals are the luck of the army and the luck of the lord! ”

After the two took their seats, they greeted each other and praised each other, but the atmosphere was harmonious, and they had the joy of talking with old friends.

But Xu Rong is a fierce general in the field after all, after a period of greetings, it is impossible to quote scriptures and classics like a great Confucian celebrity, and it is impossible for a literati to talk about righteousness, he searched and found that he was not close to Li Ru on weekdays, and in addition to the art of war and tactics, there was no words to talk to Li Ru, so he could only smile, hide the embarrassment in his heart, change the topic, and talk about the real purpose of his visit to Li Ru today.

"Master Li, I don't know if you still remember Yan Yan in the prisoner camp?"

"Oh?"

Although Li Ru knew that Xu Rong's visit this time was by no means for nothing, he didn't expect that the other party came to him for the sake of the prisoner camp, he subconsciously coped with it, and remembered Dong Zhuo's personal instructions in Dong Zhuo's big tent just now, his heart was vigilant, and after thinking about it, he asked rhetorically:

"It seems to be a little impressed, I don't know what Captain Xu is asking for?"
