Chapter 375: Killing Two Birds with One Stone
Chang'an, Xiangguo Mansion.
Lu Bu and Li Ru stood on either side of Dong Zhuo.
Dong Zhuo was lying on the couch, squinting, and a beautiful woman was gently rubbing his legs.
"Feng Xian, after a series of battles with Ma Bin before, what do you think?"
Lu Budao: "It's the child's incompetence!" ”
"Don't talk this nonsense, say something useful!"
"Ma Bin is extremely good at assault! His tiger and leopard riding is very powerful! And now, he has designed a phalanx, and that phalanx is really difficult to break! ”
"If you know, why don't you train those soldiers in the form of a phalanx? In addition, Ma Bin has a tiger and leopard to ride, isn't Gao Shun trapped in the camp? Let him hurry up and train! Is this still said in its true form? ”
Lu Bu hugged his fists and said, "The child takes the order!" ”
Dong Zhuo was silent for a while, and then said to Li Ru: "I heard that when Ma Bin got married, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and Gongsun Du all sent congratulatory stickers?"
Li Ru bowed his body slightly and said, "This is indeed the case!" ”
"How unreasonable! The three of them don't take their true colors too seriously! ”
Dong Zhuo slapped the bed violently, but directly startled the beauty.
Seeing this, Dong Zhuo quickly reached out and stroked her face and said, "Don't be afraid! Let's go down first! ”
After the beauty went down, Dong Zhuo continued: "Sir, is there any way to let Ma Bin, Yuan Shao, and Cao Cao fight each other?" ”
Li Ru said: "The last time I said in Xia and Dong Xiang, when Cao Cao launched an attack on Xuzhou, we could set fire to his backyard!" ”
"Did you find the arsonist?"
Li Ru said: "Our people have already contacted the Dongjun garrison Chen Palace!" ”
As soon as he heard the word Chen Gong, Dong Zhuo stroked his beard and said, "Can this person become a big thing?" ”
"Resourceful, but useful! And as far as I know, Cao Cao has been rectifying his men recently, and I am afraid that he will attack Xuzhou again soon! ”
"Can Tao Qian still be able to bear it this time?"
"I heard that he has asked for help from Qingzhou Thorn Shi Tian Kai and Liu Bei and others. As for whether they will save it, it is unknown at present! ”
"Excellent! Ben is equal to such an opportunity! But wouldn't it be too cheap to do this, then Yuan Shao! ”
Li Ru said: "You can't have both fish and bear's paws!" At present, Yuan Shao is holding on to the city. There is no move, and it is not easy for us to start! ”
"Then take down Cao Cao and Tao Qian first! This time, Yanzhou and Xuzhou will be won in one go! ”
After Li Ru and Lu Bu both nodded, Dong Zhuo said to Lu Bu: "This time, the prime minister will hand over this task to you, and there must be no mistakes!" Otherwise, this prime minister will never spare you! ”
As soon as he heard this, Lu Bu was grateful. Hurriedly knelt down and said: "The child must take Yanzhou and Xuzhou!" ”
Dong Zhuo nodded and said, "As for how to take it, how to join forces with that Chen Palace, you can communicate with Mr." You are tired, sleep for a while, and you go down! ”
After Li Ru and Lu Bu quietly retreated, Lu Bu invited Li Ru to his mansion.
Lu Bu said straight to the point: "I don't know how sure Mr. is about taking Yanzhou and Xuzhou this time?"
Li Ru said: "Sixty percent! However, with the participation of Qingzhou Thorn Shi Tian Kai and Liu Bei, I am afraid this matter is not so easy to handle! ”
Lu Budao: "That Tian Kai is a nobody! Liu Bei is not worth mentioning! It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter! As long as Mr. can make people successfully move Chen Gong, this matter will become more than half! When the time comes, you will definitely be able to take down Cao Cao, Tao Qian, Liu Bei and others in one fell swoop! ”
Li Ru said: "That being said! But everything should be done with care! ”
Lu Budao: "There must be no loss this time!" When the time comes, General Ben will take Gao Shun and his trap camp with General Ben! ”
Speaking of which. Lu Bu suddenly changed the conversation and said: "Feng Xian has something unclear, please ask Mr. to help answer it!" ”
Li Ru laughed and said, "Why should General Lu see outside, but it doesn't hurt to say it!" ”
"Since the righteous father united all the princes of the world to crusade against Ma Bin, why did he suddenly make a move against Cao Cao?"
Li Ru said: "Two birds with one stone!" ”
"I want to hear about it!"
"At present, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao have not responded to the order, they may be waiting and seeing! To be precise, Yuan Shao has a wait-and-see attitude, while Cao Cao has more than enough heart and less strength! His father was killed by Tao Qian's subordinates, and he attacked Xuzhou in a fit of rage! This is something that everyone knows! And Cao Cao finally had the opportunity to attack Tao Qian justifiably, and he would never give up! ”
Li Ru paused. continued: "So before Cao Cao took Xuzhou, he categorically would not send troops to attack Ma Bin with all the princes!" Yuan Shao had previously attacked Luoyang when the princes of the Eighteenth Route jointly attacked Luoyang. He's the leader of the alliance! So this time, if it weren't for the complete union of all the princes in the world, he would not have taken the initiative to participate! ”
Lu Bu listened very seriously, Li Ru glanced at him and said: "In fact, among the princes of all walks of life in the world, Yuan Shao and Ma Bin are the most powerful, but Cao Cao should not be underestimated!" Dong Xiang didn't want to see Ma Bin killed. Yuan Shao and Cao Cao quickly became stronger! That's undoubtedly the second Ma Bin! So Dong Xiang wanted to destroy any of them before attacking Ma Bin! There's one left, and it's much easier then! ”
"Won't this make the other princes who want to be in alliance with us fearful?"
Li Ru smiled: "Yuan Shao and Dong Zhuo are not called first!" Dong Xiang destroyed them, which can be said to be justified! And once either of the two of them is destroyed, Dong Xiang's strength will further increase, and his prestige among the various princes' armies will be further enhanced! ”
"Wonderful! Wonderful! Presumably this is a clever plan that Mr. came up with? ”
Li Ru did not answer Lu Bu's question directly, but said quite proudly: "Everyone in the world knows that Dong Xiang is actively preparing to destroy Ma Bin with all the princes of the world. Dong Xiang sent troops to attack Yanzhou, Cao Cao will definitely not be suspicious, and Cao Cao will definitely be able to destroy Cao Cao in one fell swoop when the time comes! ”
"With such an analysis from Mr., General Ben feels that he will be 80% sure this time!"
"General Lu, I wonder if I can take a step to speak?"
Lu Bu, who was originally very happy, was stunned, but soon realized something, he hurriedly invited Li Ruyan to the inner hall, and then asked all the slaves and maids who were waiting to retreat.
"Sir, if you have something to say, you might as well speak up!"
Li Ru said: "Does the general think that the general's prestige and status in the court are comparable to that of Dong Xiang?" ”
When Lu Bu heard this, he was immediately stunned, but he still said, "It's better to do it!" ”
Li Ru said: "Has the general thought about it, after a hundred years, Dong Xiangxian will go, how will the general control the overall situation?" ”
After Lu Bu nodded, he knelt down directly and said, "Please also teach me!" ”
Receiving such a big gift from Lu Bu, Li Ru felt a little flattered, and he quickly helped Lu Bu up and said, "Actually, the reason is very simple!" It's troubled times! The general must have his own men! This time to attack Yanzhou and Xuzhou is a godsend! The general should have prepared in advance! Just in case! ”
Lu Bu was silent for a while and then clenched his fists and said, "Thank you, sir!" (To be continued......)
