Chapter 37: Two Pieces of Armor
Not long after Dong Zhuo and the others retreated to Xingyang, Li Ru also entered Xingyang in disgrace, and saw Dong Zhuo taking the initiative to plead guilty: "Father-in-law, it is useless to stop the enemy cavalry. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Dong Zhuo blew his beard and glared angrily: "It's all your fault, you didn't stop the enemy army, and our family also reduced the number of troops because of your relaxed vigilance, which allowed the enemy army to succeed!" ”
Li Ru heard it badly, so he knelt down and kowtowed to admit his mistake first: "The son-in-law is incompetent and willing to be punished, but the fierce general with a mask in the enemy formation is really brave and invincible, unparalleled in the world!" He picked up eighteen pulleys of our army in a row, and then defeated General Lu, and it is understandable that our Xiliang army was defeated! ”
Lu Bu behind Dong Zhuo coughed, Li Ru looked over, and saw him blushing and bowing his head, laughing in his heart, but seeing that Dong Zhuo was still angry, he hurriedly squeezed out a few tears and wiped them: "Father-in-law, I heard that the young emperor was kidnapped, you are worried, but I think this matter is very good!" ”
Lu Bu walked to the front from behind at this time, his face was ugly, and he arched his hand and said, "Father-in-law, the child is unwell, please allow me to rest." ”
Dong Zhuo nodded: "Oh, good, Feng Xian is good to recuperate!" You go to rest. ”
After Lu Bu went out, Dong Zhuo looked puzzled: "How do you say this?" ”
Li Ru suddenly stood up with a smug expression: "The young emperor has been kidnapped, I have three strategies to help my father-in-law dominate the world!" ”
Dong Zhuo also stood up, his fat face was full of expectation, and he was completely angry.
He was annoyed that without the emperor himself, he would no longer have the handle to tie up these old court ministers, so that the road to hegemony would gradually drift away, and even twist and turn along the way; Now Li Ru said that he had a plan to help him achieve hegemony, of course, he was full of joy: "What is the plan for Wen Wu? Let's hear it. ”
Seeing Dong Zhuo's expression improve, Li Ru breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, looked left and right, Dong Zhuo understood, and parted everyone: "Please talk about your worries." ”
Li Ru arched his hand and said: "My three plans are divided into upper, middle and lower plans, and the next plan is to send heavy troops to recruit Xu Qi and recapture the young emperor." ”
Dong Zhuo shook his head when he heard this: "No, no, no!" Our family is now the target of everyone, if we send heavy troops to Chaisang, what if the allies attack our family? ”
Li Ru smiled: "Zhongji, father-in-law, you ascended the throne on your own and created a prosperous world. ”
Dong Zhuo was stunned for a moment, didn't answer, changed the topic and asked, "What is the plan?" ”
Li Ru smiled again: "The plan is to send someone to Yuan Shao's place, and say that Xu Jue has taken the Son of Heaven and the jade seal in an attempt to stand on his own!" ”
Dong Zhuo thought for a while, his brows were eager to twist into a line, and he didn't understand what it meant, so he asked, "Then what?" ”
"There are many careerists among the princes of the allied forces, they will hear that Xu Qi has seized the jade seal and the young emperor, they will definitely be red-eyed, and they will denounce it at least and requisition at worst, so they will fight among themselves, aren't we the biggest winners?" Li Ru looked treacherous after analyzing it, and that face made people want to slap him.
Dong Zhuo laughed when he heard it: "The text is resourceful, it can be seen!" He immediately agreed with this plan.
Li Ru said suddenly, it's just that there is a risk in this plan, there are not a few princes who support the Han Emperor, like Kong Rong, Tao Qian and others; And if Xu Qi is not self-reliant, but supports the young emperor, then even if the princes go to crusade, they will be stopped by the emperor's people, and Xu Qi's power will expand all the way, and many people will defect to him, so our army will be in danger. ”
Dong Zhuo also felt justified when he heard it, and asked with a straight face: "Then why is this plan counted as a plan?" ”
"Although this plan is risky, once it is successful, it can lay a solid foundation for the second strategy!"
Dong Zhuo's wolf-like eyes rolled, and he immediately said: "Having said that, but our family doesn't like to take risks, and your plan is really feasible, as soon as I come, I can go to Chang'an immediately, so I have no worries, and I can be the emperor with peace of mind; Second, our family is tired from the battles of these days, and it's time to rest. After speaking, he made a very tired appearance and sighed.
Li Ru understood, immediately knelt down, and said with a wicked smile: "Your Majesty is so wise, you will definitely be able to create a peaceful and prosperous era!" ”
Dong Zhuo laughed: "Aiqing, please get up, from now on you will be our family, oh no, my prime minister!" ”
Li Ru was overjoyed when he heard this, and knelt down and thanked: "Thank you, the Holy Lord, Weichen will do his best to assist and help His Majesty win the Central Plains and compete in the world!" ”
Dong Zhuo suddenly sighed at this time, and Li Ru asked when he saw this, "What is Your Majesty sighing about?" ”
Dong Zhuo sighed again: "Yesterday, our family saw the defeat, and we were annoyed in our hearts, so we kicked Feng Xian, and when we saw his unhappy face, our family felt guilty!" ”
Li Ru looked hurt when he heard this, but he didn't scream: "Ouch, hey!" Your Majesty, General Lu Bu is not only your righteous son, but also your great general! How can you kick him in front of everyone? If he is dissatisfied, we are in danger! ”
"Yes, our family is impulsive and has caused disaster, and now I ask you to give advice." Dong Zhuo's rare face showed remorse.
Li Ru's eyes turned: "General Lu Bu now has a Fang Tian painting halberd and a red rabbit horse, which can be regarded as invincible in the world, but he is brave and does not have a good armor, and he has been repeatedly injured in the previous battle, Your Majesty might as well send a pair of armor to General Lu Bu." ”
Dong Zhuo immediately said: "I have this intention, a few years ago, a Xiliang clan gave me a pair of armor, called 'Jiulin Fire Dragon Armor', this armor I can't put down, I have never been willing to wear it, so I will give it to Fengxian!" ”
Li Ru also echoed on the side: "Your Majesty, there is a soft armor in Weichen's house, called 'Tang Yi Armor', which can be worn close to the inside, this armor is invulnerable, invulnerable, water and fire are invulnerable, Weichen originally wanted to give it to Your Majesty, since this is the case, I will also give it to General Lu Bu." ”
Dong Zhuo smiled when he heard this: "Aiqing is really my good concubine!" I'll leave it up to you. ”
"Obey the order, Weichen thinks that His Majesty should also give a banquet to General Lu and give the treasure armor during the banquet."
"Okay, according to what you said, let's have a banquet for General Lu Bu tonight! It's just that the matter of being called the emperor should not be publicized first, and then we will talk about it when we arrive in Chang'an. ”
Li Ru nodded in agreement and went out, entangled in his heart: Dong Zhuo called the emperor and didn't know what would happen if the old ministers of the Han Dynasty knew about it.
In the evening, Dong Zhuo personally feasted Lu Bu, although the father and son pushed the cup and changed the lamp, but the atmosphere was still a little awkward.
After a few glasses of wine, Dong Zhuo looked at Lu Bu with a cold face, and said with a smile: "Feng Xian is still angry about yesterday's father?" ”
Lu Buyin was depressed in his heart, drank a few more glasses, and drank in a hurry, his head was a little confused, so he said: "Yesterday, in front of everyone, the righteous father treated the child like this, and the child was really unhappy. ”
Dong Zhuo was not unhappy when he heard this, and toasted a glass of wine: "Hey, it's all my father's fault for this." ”
After speaking, he shouted: "Come on, bring it!" ”
Lu Bu raised his head and saw two people each holding an item coming up, and wondered, "What is this?" ”
Dong Zhuolang laughed and said: "Feng Xian, you now have a divine soldier and a divine horse, but you don't have a treasure armor, so I specially gave you two for my father." ”
Lu Bu sobered up a little after listening to the wine: "Thank you, child, father-in-law!" ”
Perhaps it is very important for a military general to have good weapons and horses, but military generals prefer to have a good pair of armor, no matter how high or low the force is, after all, good armor can save a life. Lu Bu took one casually, and it was Tang Yijia.
I saw that this armor was as thin as a cicada's wings, although it was silver all over, but Lu Bu suddenly looked displeased, and Dong Zhuo smiled when he saw this: "Feng Xian, you try to tear this armor hard?" ”
Lu Bu snorted coldly when he heard this, and tore it hard, this armor was not even deformed, and he was suddenly surprised in his heart, and increased his strength again, this armor was only slightly deformed, but it was still not torn.
Lu Bu was overjoyed, and Dong Zhuo said again: "Feng first try to see if he can pierce this armor with a halberd." ”
Lu Bu tried it, snorted, and stabbed out a halberd with all his might, but found that he couldn't pierce this thin layer at all, even if there was not even a trace, he was overjoyed in his heart, and got up and knelt down: "Thank you father-in-law, this armor is really an artifact!" ”
Dong Zhuo laughed: "It's good if I like it, let's take a look at this one again." ”
After speaking, he personally took the Nine Lin Fire Dragon Armor and handed it to Lu Bu. When Lu Bu received it in his hand, his eyes straightened: this armor was fiery red all over, like fire; There are four gems on each of the chests on the armor, and another one in the middle, which is very beautiful. Lu Bu caressed his armor like a lover for a long time before kneeling down again: "Thank you father-in-law, the child can't be repaid!" ”
Dong Zhuo picked up Lu Bu and laughed: "Feng Xian, get up quickly, if you like it, I hope you don't hold a grudge against your father anymore!" ”
Lu Bu said: "Never! ”
Dong Zhuo laughed again, smiling so relieved: "Okay, good!" Tonight, our father and son will not get drunk and will not return! ”
(Lu Bu has obtained two pieces of treasure armor, what will happen to his strength?) )
