In the barracks of Zhang Ji's uncle and nephew in the Tiger Prison Pass, in an unnoticed camp tent, Zhang Xiu was sitting opposite a middle-aged scribe.

According to Zhang Xiu's arrogant personality before, he had never been so honest even in front of Dong Zhuo, but by the side of this middle-aged scribe, Zhang Xiu was extremely respectful.

"Sir, do you think the Tiger Prison can still be held?"

"Difficult!"

"Oh~ I don't know what Mr. said about this?"

"Under the command of Gong Dong, including General Zhang's uncle and nephew, do they all feel that the reason why there is such a big predicament in Tiger Prison Pass now is because of the existence of Jizhou Mu Liu Yuan?"

"Isn't that so? If there is no Liu Yuan's husband, the princes outside the Guanxi are like grass mustard! ”

"Haha! General, you are very wrong to think so! Dong Gong's battle is nothing more than Lu Bu and his 300,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry. But judging from today's battle, even if Liu Jizhou is not there, it is absolutely impossible to block the alliance of the princes with these! ”

When she heard this gentleman say this, Zhang Xiu instinctively wanted to refute.

But he carefully thought back about today's battle situation, and realized that what the other party said was not correct at all.

Today, under the Tiger Prison, Jizhou Mu Liu Yuan did not make a move, and even his subordinates only appeared last, but even so Lu Bu was defeated.

Even their own lords did not send the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, which they were proud of, and it was not for nothing.

It must have been the lord or Li Ru who found out that even if they sent iron cavalry, they couldn't change the war, so they didn't give the order.

If this is really the case, then it shows that even if there is no Jizhou Mu Liu Yuan, their Xiliang Army wants to defend the Tiger Prison Pass and then Luoyang, which is an extremely difficult thing.

Even if he and Hua Xiong defeated Sun Jian at Bishui Pass before, Sun Jian was only one of the eighteen-way princes, and without Sun Jian, there was still the existence of the seventeen-way princes.

Why Zhang Xiu only said the princes of the Eighteen Roads, it was because Jizhou Mu Liu Yuan had long been beyond the category of princes in his heart.

Zhang Xiu always believed that even if there were no princes of the Eighteen Routes, his army would not necessarily be Liu Yuan's opponent.

"Sir, I know that Mr. is a great talent, I wonder what Mr. can teach me?"

Just when Zhang Xiu just asked this sentence, there was a sudden noise from outside, and Zhang Xiu, who was angry at that time, almost rushed out to draw his sword and kill people.

But just as he was about to stand up, the middle-aged scribe opposite him raised his hand to stop him, and said to him with a calm face:

"Don't be angry, General! It seems that Li Ru found it. ”

"What? That's impossible! Except for me and my uncle and a few personal soldiers, no one else will know about my husband's affairs in my camp! How could Li Ru know about the existence of Mr.! ”

After speaking, Zhang Xiu looked at the middle-aged scribe opposite him with a disbelieving expression, he wanted to hear what the gentleman he respected had to say.

But before the gentleman could speak, Li Ru walked in from outside as soon as the curtain was lifted.

When he saw that the person who came was really Li Ru, Zhang Xiu's mouth grew in surprise, but at this time, his throat was extremely dry, and he couldn't even say a word!

As soon as Li Ru entered the big tent, he saw the middle-aged scribe opposite Zhang Xiu, and his face showed a smile that was really like this, and then he looked at the stunned Zhang Xiu and said slowly:

"General Zhang, there are some things that Confucianism wants to talk to this gentleman about in private, I wonder if the general can make it convenient?"

Although Li Ru said a question, Zhang Xiu knew very well in his heart that Li Ru had no room for him to refuse.

If he refuses Li Ru now, then someone will escort him to Dong Zhuo in a few moments.

Zhang Xiu glanced at the gentleman deeply, then sighed and turned around and left the big tent.

He didn't know that as he turned to leave, a hint of disappointment flashed in the middle-aged scribe's eyes.

After that disappointment disappeared, the middle-aged scribe's heart strengthened his belief that he could no longer stay with Dong Zhuo.

He knows Dong Zhuo too well about the people here, they are all selfish and selfish, before he thought that Zhang Xiu's uncle and nephew could be a little different, but now it seems that they are all the same!

Although he also wants to make contributions in this troubled world, he values the safety of himself and his family more.

If he and his family can't be safe, he will definitely not stay long with such a force.

At this time, it seems that it is imperative to leave Dong Zhuo here, but if he wants to leave safely, he still has a difficulty to overcome, that is, Li Ru in front of him.

"Haha! I don't know that Li Junshi is coming, and he will miss the distance! I also hope that there are a lot of military divisions, and there is one atonement! ”

"Sir, we're all smart people, so we don't need to talk this nonsense. The reason why Confucianism came to Mr. today is that he wants to ask Mr. to go out of the mountain to help the lord of Confucianism, I wonder if Mr. is willing to go with Confucianism to meet the lord? ”

After speaking, Li Ru kept paying attention to this middle-aged scribe with sharp eyes.

Although he said that he wanted to ask this person to go out of the mountain to help Dong Zhuo, in fact, he had already made a decision in his heart.

Now Dong Zhuojun is in an extremely disadvantageous position, and they must rely on this person's strength to escape safely from the hands of the princes' coalition army.

That's why he will be polite to this person, but with this person's talent, if he really comes under Dong Zhuo's command, it will have a huge impact on his status.

This is something he absolutely cannot allow to happen, so if this person agrees to go out of the mountain to assist Dong Zhuo, then as long as this crisis is over, he will immediately get rid of this huge threat.

What Li Ru was thinking, the middle-aged scribe opposite him was clear in his heart.

He had already seen Li Ru's thoughts, so even if he killed him, he would not agree to assist Dong Zhuo.

The only way to get out now is for him to give Dong Zhuo advice, so that Dong Zhuo can safely jump out of the siege of all the princes, but this strategy must not be told by him to Dong Zhuo.

The Li Ru in front of him must tell Dong Zhuo that he can only be the one who stands behind the scenes.

After that, no matter whether Dong Zhuo and the others can escape from the Tiger Prison or not, they must leave in the shortest possible time.

As for how Li Ru found out, he didn't have to use his brain to think about it, since Zhang Xiu returned to Xiliang with Dong Zhuo, the whole person has changed.

Not only have people become much more modest, but they can also accept all kinds of suggestions with an open mind, of course, these can also be said to be because of Zhang Xiu's own changes after the defeat under Jizhou Mu.

But last time Zhang Xiu lost Bishui Pass, although the main general Hua Xiong was not him, Hua Xiong had already returned to the underworld, and Zhang Xiu naturally became Dong Zhuo's primary target for anger.

Originally, Dong Zhuo wanted to kill Zhang Xiu to boost the army's prestige, but after Zhang Ji talked to Dong Zhuo privately for less than a quarter of an hour, Dong Zhuo immediately happily released Zhang Xiu, and there was not even any other punishment.

These things are added together, not to mention Li Ru, an old treacherous and cunning man, even a person with a little bit of thought can think that there is definitely a master behind Uncle Zhang Xiu's nephew!
