"Lord, what about those captives?" Before Chen Xing left, he hesitated for a moment and stepped forward to ask. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"That Fang Yun stays, it may be useful in the future, and the rest of the people ......" Lu Bu thought for a while and said: "Secretly find out the details, there are real talented scholars left, and the others, together with the people, will be sent to Jingzhao, and they will support themselves in the future, and this general will not have so much money and food to support idlers." ”

"Whoa." Although he didn't understand why Lu Bu wanted to leave Fang Yun, who only knew how to slap the horse, but since Lu Bu gave the order, Chen Xing couldn't refute it, so he immediately took the order and left.

The conference hall, which was originally quite lively, became empty and deserted for a while as everyone left, leaving only Lu Bu and 'Li You'.

"Sit." Lu Bu stretched out his hand, knelt down on his seat first, and pointed to the seat next to him, Li You did not hesitate, and sat down suddenly.

Not long after, several maidservants who originally belonged to the Taishou Mansion trembled and came up with wine and food.

"I haven't seen you for many years, and I'm worried about my temper." Looking at Li You who was sitting down, Lu Bu took a sip of wine and smiled.

Li You was Li Ru, the chief strategist under Dong Zhuo's account, and he was the one who assisted Dong Zhuo step by step from a two-family son to dominate Xiliang, only one step away from achieving hegemony.

It's a pity that because of a woman, Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu turned against each other, and in the end, they were pulled off the altar by Lu Bu himself, and Li Ru disappeared from the altar since then, but he didn't expect to be incognito and came to Hanoi.

Li Ru sneered: "If you want to let Confucianism and the like flatter you, Confucianism can't really learn." ”

"If you really flatter me, I'm afraid I won't treat you with courtesy." Lu Bu shook his head, looked at Li Ru and said: "Make the best use of things, villains have the usefulness of villains, for the superiors, not only can they use talents, but also mediocre talents and villains, after all, in this world, nine out of ten people belong to mediocrity, and villains are also among mediocre talents. ”

Li Ru was silent when he heard this, and drank all the liquor in the wine in a silent manner, looked at Lu Bu, and said with a little mockery: "But I don't know, what does Wen Hou want to do with Yu Ru?" ”

"Disposition?" Lu Bu sighed, shook his head, and said, "Has Wen Wei ever thought of working for me?" ”

"Wishful thinking!" Li Ru snorted coldly, stood up and said sharply: "I can't wait to eat your meat raw!" How can I work for you!? ”

"Change the subject." Lu Bu shook his head, looked at Li Ru and said, "Wen Wei thinks that even if I don't do it at the beginning, Dong Zhuo will have a few years to live?" ”

"In less than ten years, we will be able to achieve hegemony!" Li Ru sneered.

"Is Wen Wei joking?" Lu Bu shook his head and said: "Dong Zhuo was already old at the time, there were many factions under the account, Li Yu, Guo Yan, Fan Chou, Zhang Ji, each formed a gang and made trouble with each other, although the Xiliang army was brave, Dong Zhuo did not know moderation, look at the land of the three auxiliaries, what was ruined into it, if Dong Zhuo was here, the land of the three auxiliaries would not be better than today, Xiliang was already sparsely populated, Dong Zhuo did not know how to settle the people, and there was no food if there were no people, on the other hand, the princes of Kwantung Province have become stronger and stronger over the years, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao do not say, they are Liu Biao and Liu Zhang who stick to Jingxiang and Shu, The population under his rule is also nearly 10 million, what does Dong Zhuo use to fight for the world? A dilapidated pass? ”

Li Ru was silent when he heard this, over the years, he reflected every time, and also knew that Dong Zhuo's steps were too big, and he was good at abolishing the establishment, pushing himself to the opposite side of the entire scholar class, although he was dominant in Guanzhong and Heluo, but he became the target of the public, in the view of Li Ru at that time, to overthrow the old forces, this is a process that must be experienced, but unfortunately, the facts cruelly proved that he was wrong, the princes of the Eighteen Roads jointly discussed Dong, although because the princes of all walks of life were not aligned, but Dong Zhuo's internal problems gradually became prominent, and under the internal and external difficulties, Dong Zhuo had no choice but to retreat to Guanzhong.

It's just that this step is not easy to retreat, and it can't be retreated, competing for domination in the world, and as soon as you retreat, the people's hearts will be scattered, not only Lu Bu, but also many generals under Dong Zhuo's account at that time, all of them have different thoughts, and they also expose Dong Zhuo's biggest shortcoming, the foundation is insufficient!

Dong Zhuo is indeed a dominant family in Xiliang, but out of Xiliang, the Central Plains, it is the world of the family, although Li Ru is quite disdainful of this, but these years of incognito, secretly observing the world's major events, but came to a helpless conclusion, if you want to dominate the world, in this era, without enough foundation and family support, it will not work at all.

Because in the hands of the family, the lifeblood of this era is in control - knowledge.

Whether it is governing the local government or coordinating logistics to formulating national policies, it is impossible for him Li Ru to resist so many things, but Dong Zhuo, who exposed his ambitions prematurely at that time, although he made many amends later, still irretrievably pushed the family to his opposite, although Li Ru tried his best to make up for it, but the general trend has gone, and he can only watch Dong Zhuo's hegemony decline step by step.

After a long time, Li Ru raised his head and looked at Lu Bu with complicated eyes, but he refused to admit defeat: "Wen Hou has traveled to the Central Plains all these years, but he has honed a good eloquence. ”

"Eloquence?" Lu Bu shook his head: "Wen Wei has too deep prejudices against me, Dong Zhuo didn't treat me sincerely back then, and he was wary of me everywhere, for fear that I would gain military power, right?" ”

"Not bad." Li Ru nodded, after all, no matter how powerful Lu Bu is, he is also a new general, which monarch dares to put his heart into a military general who has just surrendered and give him the power of the army?

"Wang Situ's serial plan, with the ability to worry about literature, it is impossible not to see through it, but can he give advice to Dong Zhuo?" Lu Bu turned his head and looked at Li Ru.

Li Ru was speechless.

"What does Hugh want to tell me about giving up his loyalty for a woman, he, Dong Zhuo, is the lord, he knows that it is a plan, but he still wants to compete with the general for a woman, what qualifications does such a lord have for me to work for him?" Lu Bu snorted coldly, Lu Bu turned his head, looked at Li Ru and said, "Wen Wei, if it weren't for Dong Zhuo being your father-in-law, would you be cold?" ”

Li Ru was silent.

Lu Bu sneered: "A certain gave up everything to join him, but he regarded me like a dog, those Xiliang generals, jealous of my martial arts, joined forces to exclude, at that time, did he say a word?" Even if it was for me, the cloth should be grateful, but unfortunately, at that time...... Boo is too naïve. ”

Li Ru raised his head and looked at Lu Bu coldly: "Saying this, Wen Hou still wants to persuade me to be loyal to you?" ”

"Not bad." Lu Bu looked at Li Ru: "Wen Wei, you and I are both spurned by scholars, looking at the world, only I can let you walk in the sun justifiably, and only I can let you display your talents in your chest and realize your life's ambitions." ”

"Oh?" Li Ru sneered: "Then Wen Hou and tell me, I have the ambition of life?" ”

Lu Bu looked at Li Ru, although he was still indifferent, but with a bit of exploration, thinking about what Li Ru had done in his life, a sentence of poetry suddenly flashed in his heart, and he said: "But it makes the cold people in the world happy!" ”

Li Ru heard this, his face finally changed, this is indeed his dream all along, he was born in a poor family, the road to study in the early years can be described as bumpy, in order to be able to study, had to bear the strange and disdainful eyes of those so-called celebrities, originally learned, asked himself not to lose to those so-called celebrities, went to Luoyang alone, but what he got was the ridicule of those scholars, and it was also at that time that he met Dong Zhuo, who was not ambitious at the beginning.

After gaining power, he also thought about changing this deformed status quo, but unfortunately, he lost in the end.

"Why are you?" Raising his head, Li Ru's eyes flashed with an inexplicable light.

"Just because my name is Lu Bu, I have no choice but to do anything else!" Lu Bu looked at Li Ru, they were all people who were forced to a dead end by the family, and no one in the world would tolerate them, Lu Bu was like this, Li Ru, as Dong Zhuo's right-hand man back then, had harmed many famous people, and he was also not tolerated by scholars, looking at the world, except for Lu Bu, no prince dared to use him openly, even if it was Cao Cao.

"I need to think about it." After staring at Lu Bu for a long time, Li Ru finally spoke, and his eyes were a little complicated.

"Tomorrow, the army will return, I hope that Wen Wei can give me an answer, and also give myself an answer." Lu Bu knew that Li Ru was already moved, even if it was only for a moment, but it was enough.

Nodding silently, Li Ru got up and left directly, his emaciated back, with a little hesitation, in the empty hall, looking extremely lonely.
