Chapter 18: Dong Zhuo is frightened
Dong Zhuo, who was eager, immediately called Li Ru to the lobby, and the current situation has reached the point where there is no room for delay. According to the morale of his subordinates now, www.biquge.info I am afraid that if Yuan Shao and others attack in a few rounds, this tiger prison will change hands. And he is also not at ease with Lu Bu, if he really follows in Ding Yuan's footsteps, what can he do!
Li Ru, who came in a hurry, saw that Dong Zhuo's face was urgent, and he knew what he was thinking. In the end, it is Dong Zhuo's mastermind, and this vision of observing words and colors is definitely not comparable to ordinary people. Dong Zhuo saw Li Ru walk in, hurriedly dragged his fat body, walked up to Li Ru, and asked with a worried face: "Wen You, what should we do now!" ”
From Dong Zhuo's tone, Li Ru knew two things, first, Dong Zhuo was afraid, he was afraid of the current morale of the coalition army, and he would not be able to withstand the attack of the coalition army, he was afraid that Lu Bu would suddenly turn back, and he was even more afraid that he would end up dead if he fell into the hands of Yuan Shao. Second, Dong Zhuo is going to retire. If he hadn't been worried that he would retreat in a hurry, it would have dealt a big blow to the morale of the army, that the retreating troops would be pursued by Yuan Shao, and that the ministers of the DPRK and China would suddenly attack, he would have ordered a retreat. At this moment, he can't persuade Dong Zhuo to stay here anyway, and the allied forces of the Shandong princes are dead, Dong Zhuo is afraid, and wants to withdraw from the army, I'm afraid he won't continue to stay here anyway. His father-in-law knows best in his heart, if he still had a trace of life and death in the past, now he, under the destruction of fine wine and beauties, only has the idea of a gentleman not standing under the dangerous wall.
However, the current situation is indeed not optimistic, and the discordant plan on the other side not only made Dong Zhuo deeply suspicious of Lu Bu, but also made the military morale on his side begin to be disordered. The Xiliang Army had a deep understanding of Lu Bu's bravery from the time he was still under Ding Yuan's tent. Now in front of the Tiger Prison Pass, he has blocked the people and horses of the princes of the Nineteenth Road with the strength of one person, what kind of strength is this. If such a person rebels against Dong Zhuo and attacks us with the coalition forces, will we, the big soldiers, still have a way to live!
Therefore, Li Ru also had to sigh, the opposite hand was beautiful, even if Dong Zhuo had his own persuasion and temporarily believed in Lu Bu's loyalty, but how could these Xiliang soldiers not be frightened in their hearts! And the other party's plan can be said to be interlocking, starting from the first day of the night to persuade Lu Bu to fight again tomorrow, he put his good relationship with Lu Bu in front of everyone. On the second day, there was a big battle, before the war, Gao Ye and Lu Bu had a very happy conversation, after the battle, Gao Ye was defeated but retreated, so that a Zhao Yun drove Lu Bu back to the tiger prison and closed it, this hand is beautiful, it is simply a counter-plot tailored for Dong Zhuo! The reason why Dong Zhuo favors Lu Bu is because he recognizes Lu Bu as his righteous son, but more often than not, he still relies on Lu Bu's force. Now that Lu Bu's martial arts are no longer an invincible myth, Dong Zhuo's favor for him will naturally be greatly reduced, which makes a counter-plot that is very clumsy in his own eyes effective. Coupled with the fact that he wiped the book, he thought that this time could be regarded as a snake to add to the painting, but now it seems that Dong Zhuo still has deep worries about this. There is no way, as long as a person starts to be afraid of death, he will definitely start to suspect everything around him, because in his eyes, everything around him may kill him.
But fortunately, now, Dong Zhuo still believes in himself very much, since he wants to withdraw from the army, then I will help him plan well, how to withdraw from the army is the best move. Li Ru couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the good situation was actually broken by a counter-plot, the person who designed it opposite, I, Li Ru, really want to see it.
Gao Ye, who was far away in the camp outside the gate, sneezed twice, making Cao Cao on the side can't help but ask if he is in good health, which makes Gao Ye feel a chill. I just sneezed twice, what does it have to do with getting sick! Then he shook his head to indicate that he was fine, and continued to feast with everyone.
As for Li Ru, who was in the pass at this time, he said to Dong Zhuo with a confident face: "Don't worry, the lord, the plan now, I'm afraid that it will be difficult to hold on to the Tiger Prison Pass, so we should retreat from the army." ”
"Well, what Wen You said is exactly what I wanted. Today, I found that the sergeants and soldiers of the army were all whispering, saying that my son was the first to rebel. If the soldiers have no fighting spirit, it will be difficult to hold on. It's just that there must be a rule on how to retreat. It's just that if I abandon the Tiger Prison Pass, there will be no danger to defend in the east of Luoyang, and Luoyang at that time will not be able to stop these bastards. Dong Zhuo walked back and forth in the lobby, and his nervous heart didn't need more words to express it.
"Lord, in fact, when I say retreat, I don't mean retreating to Luoyang. It's about withdrawing to Chang'an. ”
"Ahh How does this make! This, this Luoyang is the capital teacher, how can you say that you will give up if you give up? ”
"The lord doesn't know, there is a nursery rhyme in Luoyang recently, what is 'a Han in the west, a Han in the east.'" If the deer walks into Chang'an, there will be no difficulty', if I move the capital back to Chang'an today, it is in response to this nursery rhyme! ”
"Oh? I've heard this nursery rhyme before, but what does it have to do with the withdrawal? ”
"My lord, you think, this 'one Han in the west' refers to Chang'an, the capital of Gaozu, and the twelve emperors; The so-called heavenly fortune is back, and now I am afraid that Luoyang's gas has been exhausted. ”
"Not bad, not bad." When Dong Zhuo heard this, he couldn't help but squint and carefully reflect on it.
"Isn't this 'deer entering Chang'an' in response to His Majesty's intention to move the capital back to Chang'an? Therefore, if the lord moves the capital, there will be no difficulty! Li Ru said with a smile, "Besides, according to Confucianism, moving the capital to Chang'an at this time really has more advantages than disadvantages!" ”
"I want to hear about it."
"This is the first thing, the attack of the princes of Shandong is called saving the king of Qinqin, but in fact, it is just because the existence of the lord has hurt their interests. Now if the lord gives up Luoyang, the princes of the coalition army will win the Jingshi, which will be a victory for them. Luoyang has been gained, and the interests of the princes of Shandong are guaranteed, and they will certainly not go westward again. Besides, even if it comes to the west, Chang'an has the danger of Cuihan, a hundred times better than the tiger prison, in the past, the Qin State relied on this pass to block the attack of the six countries of Shandong, with this danger, is it not a hundred times better than Luoyang? After Li Ru finished saying those mysteries, he seriously explained to Dong Zhuo why he asked him to move the capital to Chang'an, some things still have to be explained to Dong Zhuo thoroughly, his lord, everything is good, but his brain is a little insufficient, if you don't say it thoroughly, don't explain him thoroughly, as long as he fails to understand, then this matter will definitely be variable. There will always be countless hands and tails to deal with by yourself. Although it is said that the strategist does these things, it is even more important to let his lord follow his plan.
Dong Zhuo listened to Li Ru's words, nodded frequently, but said: "It's just that Chang'an is ruined, how can it be prosperous in Luoyang?" Li Ru listened to Dong Zhuo's words, and a mouthful of old blood almost spurted out. Sure enough, it's hard to make a frugality! Dong Zhuocai lived in Luoyang for a few months, and he didn't want to go back to Chang'an, which was really ...... I really don't know what to say to myself. It's just that at such times, you can't disobey him. This father-in-law of his, the bigger the official, the bigger the temper, I don't know how many servants in the palace, I didn't say a word right, I was tortured and killed by Dong Zhuo. This kind of temper is really getting harder and harder to serve.
However, how deep Li Ru's city government is, how could he lose his temper in front of Dong Zhuo, so he still replied with a smile: "This Chang'an is close to Longyou, if the lord wants to build a palace, the wood, stone, bricks and tiles needed can be done." As long as the people are exhausted, it is not a matter of more than a month to build another palace. Don't worry. Moreover, there are many wealthy families in Luoyang City, and the lord can confiscate all their property before leaving, so that he does not have to worry about military expenses. ”
"Okay, good, Wen You's plan is really good! But how to arrange it at this moment? Wen Youke has a specific plan? Dong Zhuo asked with a laugh.
"The current plan is to let General Li Dao and General Guo Yan come back from Bishui County as soon as possible, so that the commander of the army can return to Chang'an. As for Bishui County, Zhao Cen can guard it for the time being. Zhao Cen was originally an official of the imperial court, and after we withdrew, whether he fled or surrendered had nothing to do with us. The lord should return to Beijing immediately tomorrow, unify the opinions of the courtiers, and complete the relocation of the capital as soon as possible. As for the rich ......"
"Wen You, I don't think it's just the property of the rich that needs to be confiscated, I heard that there are countless treasures in the tomb of the former emperor, so it's better to dig them together."
Li Ru's face has begun to twitch a little, this lord has actually started the idea of the imperial tomb, this kind of thing that defies the world's condemnation, only a person like him dares to do it! But that's okay, this thing I didn't expect can help Dong Zhuo and really control Lu Bu in his hands, wonderful, wonderful! Lu Bu did this, thinking that the lord would no longer have doubts, and he Lu Bu would not dare to rebel. Then he smiled and said: "The lord is reasonable. Let General Fengxian do it. Whether it is a wealthy family or an excavation of the mausoleum of the first emperor, having Fengxian in Luoyang can deter Xiaoxiao, and secondly, it can also make the ministers of the court and the central government dare not make trouble, killing two birds with one stone. ”
When Dong Zhuo heard this, he was stunned, then stared at Li Ru for three minutes, and then said slowly: "Wenyou, Fengxian is my righteous son, how can I not believe him?" ”
"It is precisely because the Lord believes in him that this matter should be handled by General Fengxian. The lord must know that wealth is moving, if it were not for a credible person like General Fengxian, it would be difficult to guarantee that others would not be greedy. ”
Dong Zhuo listened to Li Ru's words, and he didn't speak. Why did Li Ru want Lu Bu to do this, to put it bluntly, it was for his own sake. He knew that he was still not very at ease with Lu Bu, but once Lu Bu did such a thing, especially such a thing as excavating the imperial tomb, then the world was so big, and only he could give him a place to live. If this is the case, this Lu Bu can really use it boldly and with confidence!
Wen You's words are reasonable. In this case, let Feng Xian return to Beijing immediately and prepare for this matter. ”
"The lord is wise!"
