As soon as the person entered the big tent, he bowed down and said, "Lang Zhong ordered Li Ru to see Lord Zhoumu." ”

Liu Xin was taken aback, he didn't expect that the messenger sent by Dong Zhuo turned out to be Li Ru, he couldn't help but look Li Ru up and down, only to see him with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks, thief eyebrows and mouse eyes, and he really looked like a murderer, no wonder he could think of such a poisonous plan, Liu Xin calmed down and said lightly: "You are Li Ru, Dong Zhuo asked you to come and have something to say." ”

Li Ru arched his hand and said: "Li Ru was ordered by the prime minister to marry the state pastor, and the prime minister has a daughter with a beautiful appearance, and wants to be matched with the son of the state pastor." ”

Liu Xin didn't expect Dong Zhuo to win over himself by marrying, so he couldn't help but be amused and asked: "Liu heard that you are also Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, and there is also a son-in-law named Niu Fu, I don't know how many daughters Dong Zhuo has." ”

Although Li Ru felt that Liu Xin's words were very rude, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and say: "The prime minister has three daughters, and the one who wants to marry the state pastor is the prime minister's **, who is eleven years old. ”

Liu Xin laughed: "My son is only eight years old, it doesn't seem to be a good match, besides, a few years ago, Dong Zhuo wanted to marry Sun Jian's son, and it was also this daughter, Sun Jian's son didn't want the goods, could it be that my son couldn't accept it." ”

Li Ru couldn't help but blush, he didn't know where Liu Xin learned the news that Dong Zhuo was going to marry Sun Jian, this can be regarded as a top secret, it seems that Liu Xin must have a lot of secret agents in the Xiliang Army, and he must check it out when he goes back.

In fact, Liu Xin just had a little impression that Dong Zhuo wanted to marry Sun Jian, and deliberately said it to deceive Li Ru, and he didn't really get the secret report in this regard, but Li Ru was already muttering in his heart, and said: "Since the adults don't want to marry the prime minister, they don't dare to force it, and they are entrusted by the prime minister, and there is still something to discuss with the adults." ”

Liu Xin put away his smile and said coldly: "Say something quickly." ”

Li Ru bowed and said: "Cao Ying colluded with the princes of the seventeen towns in Kanto to rebel, but he didn't give a letter to the lord, obviously he didn't put the lord in his eyes, why don't the lord join forces with the prime minister to exterminate the princes and share the land." ”

Liu Xin only found out that Li Ru not only made tricks, but also could see the faint contradictions between himself and the Kwantung princes, but he really had two brushes, thinking of this, he suddenly snorted coldly and said: "Dong Zhuo is something, and he is worthy of joining forces with me, to tell you, I am raising troops this time, I want to take his dog's head." ”

Li Ru saw that he couldn't do anything, and said: "Since this is the case, I will leave here, and I hope that the adults will not regret it." ”

Liu Xin waved his hand and said, "Wait, I'll ask you to look at something." ”

At this time, two soldiers carried a hot cauldron into the camp tent, and set up firewood in the camp tent, and the water in the pot turned white gas and rolled non-stop.

Li Ru was taken aback and said: "The two countries are fighting each other, and if you don't kill them, what do you want, my lord." ”

Liu Xin slapped the table, glared at Li Ru angrily, and said: "You are just a rebellion to usurp the country, I am a clan member of the Han family, Kuang Fu Sheji, and the branch should be, how can I say that the two countries, not to mention, I don't want to kill you." ”

Li Ru heard Liu Xin say that he didn't want to kill him, and his expression was relieved.

But I heard Liu Xin continue: "Li Ru, I heard that you spread rumors outside, saying that Liu likes to eat human flesh, what is the taste of this human flesh, Liu really hasn't tasted it, I want to put you in this pot and cook it today, let me taste it, and lest I bear this good reputation in vain." ”

Li Ru was so frightened that he couldn't possess his body, he didn't expect that the rumors he spread were about to be sealed on him, and he couldn't help but tremble like chaff.

Liu Xin slowly walked in front of Li Ru step by step, and was about to say a few more words to scare and scare him, but he smelled a strong smell of urine, as soon as Liu Xin lowered his head, he saw a large piece of wet ground between Li Ru's legs, and couldn't help but secretly scream, raised his hand, and ordered the soldiers under his tent: "Throw this shameful thing far away for me." ”

Originally, Liu Xin really wanted to kill Li Ru, but he was also the identity of a messenger, and it would be a little unreasonable if he killed the killer, anyway, there would be a chance in the future, and he finally endured it.

Li Ru couldn't take a step at this time, and let the soldiers drag him out, but he felt a sense of relief in his heart.

Suddenly, I heard Liu Xin yelling again: "Wait." ”

Li Ru's heart that he had just put down suddenly hung to his throat again, if he went to the playground of the afterlife, he would definitely understand that this is the feeling of a roller coaster.

Liu Xin said viciously: "Li Ru, you listen to me, this time I will spare you first, if you dare to spread my rumors outside in the future, I will definitely let these rumors all be fulfilled in your family." ”

Where did Li Ru dare to say half a word, so he had to nod again and again, and was thrown out of the barracks in embarrassment.

As soon as Li Ru was driven out on the front foot, Chen Gong walked into the big tent on the back foot, and said to Liu Xin: "Lord Qi, Li Ru will definitely make preparations in advance when he returns to Luoyang this time, and the soldiers are very fast, and I also ask the lord to send troops as soon as possible." ”

Chen Gong was in favor of Liu Xin raising the banner to crusade against Dong Zhuo, but he did not approve of Liu Xin's crusade against Liu Xie, he hoped to take advantage of Dong Zhuo's confrontation with the princes at the Tiger Prison Pass to quickly occupy Luoyang, and then contact the minister of Beijing to force Liu Xin to help protect Liu Xie.

How did he know that Liu Xin had already conceived the ambition of the king, because Liu Xin understood that in the feudal dynasty, the emperor's power was too great, and he could decide the life and death of others in one sentence. He wants to be emperor himself,

The throne of the Han Dynasty, Liu Xin is bound to win, since this is the case, then it is impossible for him to still respect Liu Xie as the emperor, because, Liu Xin's current identity in addition to Jingzhou Mu, is also a relative of the Han family, once he assists Liu Xie, and wants to replace him in the future, it will be incorrect, and the words are not good, of course, now to support Liu Xie, there can be other ways in the future, such as so that Liu Xie can not give birth to a son, and after his death, the throne will naturally fall into the hands of others, but Liu Xin remembers that Liu Xie's life span in history is still quite long, Who can say what will happen in the middle?

For Liu Xin now, the best way is to not recognize Liu Xie, the legitimate surname of the emperor, from now on, Liu Xin did not say that he would be called the king and the emperor now, what he proposed was to wait for the world to be calm, and then set up another Ming Jun, and then set up another Ming Jun, really at that time, the world is already in his hands, the so-called another Ming Jun, who else can he set up?

However, Liu Xin still adopted Chen Gong's suggestion, although he didn't know where Li Ru came from, but since Li Ru came, then Dong Zhuo must know his actions.

Indeed, when Dong Zhuo sent troops to the Tiger Prison Pass, Li Ru told Yingchuan Taishou Shen Ran to pay attention to the movements in Jingzhou, Li Ru did not expect Shen Ran to block Liu Xin's army, because Yingchuan is not defended at all now, but he hopes that Shen Ran can delay Liu Xin for a day or two, but people are not as good as heaven, Shen Ran beat and scolded two lazy soldiers in the city, and as a result, he aroused public anger and beat him to death, Liu Xin's soldiers occupied Yingchuan without blood,

Li Ru knew that after Liu Xin sent troops, he suggested that Dong Zhuo move the capital to Chang'an, and at the same time helped Dong Zhuo arrange the withdrawal of the army, and he himself went straight to Yique Pass in Yin, Henan, where he was ready to block Liu Xin's focus, as soon as he arrived at Yique Pass, Li Ru knew that Liu Xin occupied Yingchuan, so he did not ask Dong Zhuo, so he took it upon himself to propose to marry Liu Xin, in fact, this was just his plan to delay the army, and as a result, Liu Xin was humiliated and fled.

Liu Xin's movement of troops was fast, Li Ru fled faster, he went all the way north, passed through Yique Pass without a short stop, and went straight to Luoyang, and when Liu Xin led the army to Yique Pass, Li Ru had already arrived in Luoyang, and he didn't even have time to change the robe with urine stains, so he hurried to meet Dong Zhuo,

Thousands of wealthy families in Luoyang City were arrested and taken to the east gate, the men were beheaded on the spot as anti-ministers and rebels against the party, the women were rewarded with the army, and all the property was confiscated, and the people of Luoyang did not want to go west to Chang'an, but they were forcibly driven away by Dong Zhuo's order, and those who did not obey were killed on the spot, and there was chaos everywhere in the city.

Li Ru saw Dong Zhuo, arched his hand and said: "Qi Xiangguo, Liu Xin's army is not said to be about to arrive at Yique Pass, although the two passes of Yique and Tiger Prison are strong, but if the guards hear that Xiangguo is moving westward, they will definitely surrender to the enemy. ”

Dong Zhuo looked around and said, "It's a pity that my son Fengxian is not here, who dares to stop Liu Xin." ”

Li Dao came out of the column and said: "Qi Xiangguo, with the Wenhou surrendered to the state army and horses, Pingshuli and my Xiliang soldiers are quite not harmonious, why not ask them to break off the queen to stop Liu Xin." ”

Li Ru thought for a while and said: "That's fine, the state army is unruly, it can cut its strength, and it can block Liu Xin, the so-called killing two birds with one stone, I am in Liu Xin's military camp, watching his rear team fight a lot, I think it is a place to store grain and grass, so that Zhang Ji can lead a team of light horsemen, make a detour to raid its rear army, and burn its grain and grass, then its army will be chaotic." ”

Longmen Mountain, Xiangshan two big mountains in the south of Luoyang, two mountains are sandwiched, in the middle is Yique Pass, here is Luoyang south, Yingchuan must go north, when the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Liu Hong in order to protect Luoyang, reinforce and rebuild here, although Yique Pass is not as majestic and precipitous as Hangu Pass and Tiger Prison Pass, but it is also a place where the city wall is tall, easy to defend and difficult to attack,

Liu Xin arrived here, and saw that Yique Pass had already prepared, so he ordered to camp before the pass, he was not in a hurry to order the siege, because in his eyes, nothing is more precious than the life of the soldiers, he was waiting for the rear team to transport the siege equipment, and the soldiers could not be sacrificed in vain, but this did not affect the generals to take turns to challenge the pass, but no matter how the pass scolded, the guards on the pass just held on,

When I arrived in Yingchuan, the road was obviously dilapidated, and there were many heavy vehicles in the rear army, so naturally I couldn't get up quickly, but the front army and the Chinese army all brought a lot of grain and grass, as long as Zhao Yun delivered the materials within two days, it was a credit, but Zhao Yun still hoped to escort the grain and grass and equipment to Yique Pass as soon as possible, he urged the team to hurry up and see that it was getting late, and there was still half a day of travel from Yique Pass, and suddenly a piece of smoke and dust rose in front of him,
