Chapter 208: Li Ru's ruthlessness
"Mengde~"
Cao Cao was chatting happily with the newly acquainted Yanzhou celebrities, but when he heard someone behind him calling him, he suddenly looked back, but it was Liu Wei, the king of Hongnong, who hurriedly saluted and said: "The last general Cao Cao will see His Royal Highness!" ”
"Mengde doesn't have to be polite." Liu Wei waved his hand, his eyes fell on Cheng Yu, and he smiled slightly: "This gentleman is a friend of Meng De?" ”
Cao Cao's narrow eyes flashed a trace of sharpness in the depths, and he introduced with a smile: "Your Highness, this person is a famous person in Yanzhou, Cheng Yu, Cheng Zhongde. ”
"Yu doesn't dare to be the praise of Meng De." Cheng Yu tidied up his clothes, and then respectfully saluted Liu Wei: "Cheng Yu, the grass people, see His Royal Highness King Hongnong!" ”
"Dare to ask, but Cheng Zhongde, who broke the yellow scarf to save tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Dong'e County?"
Liu Wei pretended to be surprised and said that during the Yellow Turban Incident, Wang Du of Dong'e County rose up and burned down the warehouses in the county. The county order abandoned the city and fled, and later Cheng Yu persuaded Xue Fang, a wealthy family in the city, and others to design to take the county seat, and finally led the township to defeat Wang Du in one fell swoop, and Dong'e County was preserved.
"It is the grass people, this is just the courage of the township, and the grass people dare not take credit." At this time, although Cheng Yu was white, his self-cultivation had never fallen, and although he was happy in his heart, he said with a humble face.
"Mr. Zhongde saved the lives of all the people, and he is very respectful!" A solemn look appeared on Liu Wei's face, and he made a deep bow to Cheng Yu.
"Your Highness can't do that!" Cheng Yu was taken aback, this is a hierarchical era, how dare he be worshiped by Liu Wei with a white body, and his figure flashed immediately, but he avoided it. But Cao Cao hurriedly helped Liu Wei.
"Mr. Zhongde deserves to be alone!" Liu Wei raised his head and smiled at Cao Cao and said: "Meng De, there are several altars of fine wine in the lonely tent, and when I meet Mr. Zhongde today, I should be a big white." How about going to the lonely tent and drinking together? ”
In this era, it can be said that there are few people who are not good at drinking, and when they heard Liu Wei say that there was good wine, the two immediately agreed to go together, but Liu Bian's eyes were full of cunning, as long as he could get acquainted with Cheng Yu, he was confident to leave Cheng Yu behind.

Luoyang Taishifu.
After Dong Zhuo received the good news, he was overjoyed to reward Huaxiong and Zhao Cen with three thousand gold, several beauties, and Hu Xuan, Li Su and other Tiger Prison guards were rewarded.
"Wen You, as you expected, Tiger Prison Pass defeated Kanto Sun Jianye in the first battle." Dong Zhuo raised the good news in his hand, and said loudly to Li Ru, who came in a hurry, and the fat on his face almost trembled.
"My father-in-law has many fierce soldiers, and there is no suspense about the victory in this battle." Li Ru smiled slightly, then took out a letter from his arms, handed it to Dong Zhuo, and said solemnly: "Father-in-law, this is a book intercepted by the patrol soldiers!" ”
"Huh!?" Dong Zhuo took the book, hurriedly read it, and then threw the booklet on the ground, and said angrily with a face full of anger: "This group of old things dare to connect with the Kwantung Army, intending to plot against the old man, and they are really looking for death!" ”
A trace of gloom flashed in Li Ru's eyes, and he said in a gloomy voice: "The Kwantung Alliance Army is powerful, and the Kwantung Army and the deputy alliance leader are all sons of the Yuan family. ”
"Divide it first?" Dong Zhuo's eyes were full of murder, and the anger on his face was even worse, and he said, "Wenyou, how about you deal with the Liu clan together?" ”
"No, never! The Liu clan can't be removed, and the father-in-law thinks twice! ”
Li Ru's heart was cold, he dared to say that Dong Zhuo got rid of the Yuan family, that was because the power in the hands of Yuan Kui and Yuan Feng had already been eroded by his design step by step, at this time Yuan Kui, Yuan Feng and others were already old men with no real power and no real power, except that it caused an uproar at most, and it had nothing to do with the attachment of the Dongshi clan, which was not afraid, after all, they had the Guanxi clan behind them to rely on.
But the Liu clan is different, getting rid of the Liu clan will not only cause a mutiny in the Manchu Dynasty, but even the army will mutiny, the most important thing is that although the Guanxi clan is the reliance of the Xiliang army, it is the establishment of the Xiliang army as the orthodoxy of the imperial court in advance, once the Liu clan is eliminated, the Xiliang army will become a chaotic minister and thief in a blink of an eye, and the Guanxi clan will not hesitate to abandon Dong Zhuo.
"That's it, the old man is just joking." Dong Zhuo said curtly, although he is not good at scheming, but he is self-aware, Li Ru is his most trusted strategist, he has always obeyed Li Ru's advice.
"Whew~"
Li Ru breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he was really afraid that Dong Zhuo would act irrationally in anger, if that was the case, no matter what he had, he could only watch the Xiliang Army go to extinction step by step.
"Gongsun Shengji has ever been appointed as the Taishou of Liaodong?" Dong Zhuo changed the topic and asked Li Ru.
Li Ru pondered for a while and said: "The land of Liaodong is mixed, and the local heroes have been in control for many years, and Gongsun Shengji is afraid that it will be difficult to do anything in a short time." We should still use the Tiger Prison Pass as the main battlefield. ”
"Alas~ Li Su's plan will never work in a short period of time, and although Wencai defeated Sun Jian, the thief army is strong, so he can only hold on." Dong Zhuo sighed: "This is the trouble in the old man's heart after all." ”
Li Ru frowned, he was unwilling to let go of the last killer move, but it was not a way to hold on, so he could only reluctantly speak: "Father-in-law, Lu Bu is brave and brave, you can use this person to go to the Tiger Prison Pass to rub the sharp spirit of the Kwantung thief army." ”
A cold light flashed in Dong Zhuo's eyes, and he said in a condensed voice: "Old man Rong thinks about it...."

Sikong Province.
Yuan Feng was enjoying the snow in the window of the study, writing hard, listening to the sound of footsteps outside the door, looking back, only to see a handsome, gentle and elegant person has entered, Yuan Feng put down the pen in his hand, his eyes were full of kindness and said: "My son is back." ”
Yuan Ji, the eldest son of Yuan Fengyan, is also the brother of Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, who is erudite and talented, with a gentle personality, and said respectfully as soon as he entered the door: "My son has seen my father." ”
"Hmm!" Yuan Feng bowed his head lightly, looked at Yuan Ji with a smile and said, "My son is no longer serving by His Majesty's side, why did he come to his father's mansion?" ”
Yuan Ji sighed, shook his head and said, "My son came to lead his death with his father!" ”
"Touch~" Yuan Feng's face changed, even though he liked this eldest son, he was not angry when he heard these words, and immediately pointed at Yuan Ji and said angrily: "Rebel son, why do you come from such nonsense?" ”
"As the old saying goes: Those who are ministers should obey the respect of the Son of Heaven under their ministers, but the second and third brothers, together with the princes from all walks of life, will ally the county of Suzao, which is called sweeping away the national thieves, but it is really an anti-thief act. Dong Zhuo has already made Dong Zhuo jealous of us, and now my father..."Yuan Ji shook his head and said: "Now my father first helped Dong Zhuo to abolish the establishment, but in turn secretly passed through the thief army in the Kwantung region..."
