Luoyang Barracks, after Liu Miao left, Dong Zhuo sat down with Li Ru again. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Wen You, what do you think of Liu Miao?" Dong Zhuo was still playing with the jade seal of the country in his hand, but his eyes had long since lost his previous enthusiasm.

Li Ru thought for a while before he said, "I have some knowledge, but I can't trust the lord." ”

"Do you think it's all false?"

"No, his analysis of the Kwantung princes is all reasonable, and the lord may wish to take his advice. But his treatment of the lord is not necessarily the same, if I expected, these are Liu Miao's perfunctory words to get out, and once he gets out, he will inevitably draw a clear line with the lord. Li Ru's eyes flashed slightly.

Before Liu Miao, Dong Zhuo personally appointed many large and small magistrates such as state pastors and county guards. Some of these people are now anti-him, some are neutral, but they just don't support him. However, Dong Zhuo didn't care too much, anyway, he couldn't touch those places for the time being, if they let political enemies like the Yuan brothers go, it would be better to give them to different people, so that if there are many forces, there will inevitably be chaos, and they will not all come to make trouble for him with one heart. When he stabilizes the court and then sends troops to clean up the situation, isn't it still handy? For Liu Miao, Dong Zhuo also has this attitude.

Thinking of these, Dong Zhuo didn't care whether Liu Miao was sincere or fake, so he said: "None of this matters, I wonder why Liu Miao handed over the heirloom jade seal to me, if it's just to get out or Zhang Liao, an unknown young general, I don't believe it." ”

This is also the confusion of his subordinates, with Liu Miao's insight, he should know the importance of the jade seal of the country to the lord. What the lord lacks now is only the orthodox title after the abolition of the emperor, and the jade seal of the country can weaken this disadvantage to a large extent. As a relative of the Han family, Liu Miao can't be of the same mind as the lord, and it stands to reason that he hopes that the lord can't control the situation...... Unless—" Speaking of this, Li Ru seemed to suddenly understand something, but he looked at Dong Zhuo and stopped talking.

Dong Zhuo obviously discovered Li Ru's abnormality and asked anxiously, "Unless what?" ”

Li Ru looked at Dong Zhuo, settled down, and said in a deep voice: "Liu Miao handed over the jade seal of the heirloom to the lord, probably hoping to interfere with the lord's mind and make the wrong decision to urgently abolish the emperor's self-reliance. ”

"Huh?" Dong Zhuo couldn't help but exclaim.

Seeing Dong Zhuo's slightly embarrassed expression, Li Ru knew that he had guessed correctly, and Dong Zhuo really had this thought. In fact, Li Ru can't be sure whether Liu Miao really has this intention, but this doesn't matter, Li Ru's purpose is to use Liu Miao to persuade Dong Zhuo, at this time, there must be no idea of becoming the emperor.

"Inherit the jade seal of the country, and be ordered by heaven! Now that I have obtained the jade seal of the country, it is the destiny of heaven, even if the emperor is abolished, why not? As if to hide his embarrassment, Dong Zhuo simply expressed his thoughts.

Li Ru didn't immediately refute Dong Zhuo, he knew Dong Zhuo very well, so he could only follow him at this time, "That's true, the jade seal of the country represents the mandate of heaven to a certain extent, but how to act still needs to wait for the opportunity." Now for the lord, the time is not ripe, the lord has just abolished the Han Emperor, and the new capital has been moved, which is the time when people's hearts are floating. At this time, there were loyal ministers of the Han family in the constraints, and the princes of the eastern part of the country were in turmoil, and if the lord acted eagerly, the situation was very likely to get out of control. ”

"What Wen You said is very reasonable, what should I do if I want to make it a big thing?" Dong Zhuo nodded, and also agreed with Li Ru's opinion, but he was somewhat unwilling, just like a person facing a fairy peach within reach, but he could only look at it but not eat it, which was very uncomfortable.

Li Ru enjoyed Dong Zhuo's attitude of humbly seeking advice and obeying his words, he touched his beard, and then said: "The top priority now is to disintegrate the alliance of the Kwantung princes and dispel the idea that the court is not conducive to the lord. After the lord returned to Chang'an, while using the influence of the jade seal of the country to firmly hold the right to speak in the court in the hands of the lord, he continued to win over some prestigious ministers to further consolidate the status of the lord. If all goes well, within three years, the lord's dominance will reach its peak, and at that time, as long as the lord gives a hint, there may be countless people to help the lord complete the great cause of reaching the top. ”

"Three years? Is it really going to take that long? Dong Zhuo looked at the heirloom jade seal in his hand and didn't seem to be satisfied.

Li Ru hurriedly explained: "Three years is not a long time, there are many diehards in the court, the Han family still has residual influence, and it will take a long time to remove these obstacles." And the lord also needs to be more powerful, so as to ensure the success of big things. ”

"Well, what Qing Zhi said is very reasonable." Dong Zhuo couldn't help nodding, "Three years is three years, as long as the big thing can be done, Dong can afford to wait!" ”

After making up his mind, Dong Zhuo suddenly became high-spirited, and he changed to a more comfortable sitting position, "In case of accidents, I have to return to Chang'an as soon as possible, but before that, the alliance of princes must be solved first, do you have a good plan for this?" ”

Although Liu Miao is unpredictable, some of his opinions have some truth, the alliance of princes seems to be powerful, but they have their own selfish intentions. We will take this as a breakthrough point, first use force to defeat its sharp spirit, and then use a strategy of discord to disintegrate and divide it from within. "Li Ru has already grasped the wisdom pearl.

"How do I do that?" Dong Zhuo saw that Li Ru had a plan, and couldn't help but ask anxiously.

Li Ru also doesn't sell Guanzi, and he gives it out.

"The first step is to start with the Yuan family. Previously, it was discovered that Taifu Yuan Kui had repeatedly colluded with the Kwantung princes, and he secretly met with many ministers of the imperial court, and his behavior was very suspicious, and Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, and Yuan Yu in the alliance were all Yuan Kui's own nephews. The lord can use this as a reason to detain and behead the entire Yuan family in Chang'an. This has two major advantages, one is to deter the court with bad intentions, and the other is to anger the Yuan brothers, who will inevitably urge the allies to attack in order to avenge their families, and the princes are unwilling to lose their strength.

The second step is to carry out the strategy of divisive differentiation. The alliance of princes raised troops but did not resentful the lord to support the merit, control the power of the court, and want to replace the lord. However, after the lord abolished the Han Emperor and moved the capital, their original intention was difficult to realize, and at this time, there would inevitably be a change of mind, and the success rate of the plan of the lord and the princess to divide would be greatly increased. ”

"Is there a specific plan?"

"The Kwantung princes have three paths, and we also treat them separately. All the way to the eastern line, the subordinates heard that Liu Dai, the assassin of Yanzhou, had a grudge against Qiaomao of Dongjun, and the lord could ask Liu Dai's brother Liu Miao to be the Taishou of Dongjun, so that Liu Dai and Qiaomao would inevitably fight to the death. Liu Dai is well-known among the Han clan relatives, and Qiao Mao is the initiator of the alliance of princes, and in the end, no matter who wins or loses, the sour jujube alliance will exist in name only.

On the southern line of Luyang Road, Sun Jian was brave and good at fighting, and he could take advantage of him at the beginning, but when the lord pretended to be afraid, he was allowed to take the position of in-law and local guard, and with Sun Jian's strong character, his subordinates expected that he would definitely refuse. But it doesn't matter, these are all for Yuan Shu to see, Yuan Shu is narrow-minded and can't tolerate people, as long as someone provokes at that time, he will be worried about Sun Jian's great achievements on the one hand, and on the other hand, he is afraid that Sun Jian will be co-opted by the lord, and he will inevitably take measures to contain Sun Jian.

The northern line of Hanoi Road, headed by Yuan Shao, but the supply of grain and grass came from Jizhou Mu Hanfu. At first, Han Fu did not agree with Yuan Shao to send troops, because Han Fu was worried that Yuan Shao would be powerful and sought to seize Jizhou, and now it is the same. Yuan Shao, as the leader of the alliance, relied on Han Fu's snort, and he did not have the idea of seizing Jizhou in his heart. If he sent a fine worker to Jizhou to spread rumors, Han Fu would inevitably increase his precautions, and Yuan Shao would be in a dilemma at that time, and he would no longer have the heart to compete with the lord.

With such a three-pronged approach, the alliance of princes will be chaotic. In addition, Yuan Shu has always been resentful of Yuan Shao, and if he can find an opportunity to create a conflict between the Yuan brothers, the Kwantung Alliance will be even more useless. ”

"Haha, I have Wenyou, just like Liu Bangde Zhang Liang, why worry about big things!" After listening to Li Ru's detailed and highly feasible plan, Dong Zhuo was very excited, "This matter will be handed over to you to handle, the specific details and timing are all grasped by yourself, and I will let the generals cooperate." Remember your merit today, and when you return to Chang'an, you will be rewarded! ”

"Don't worry, my subordinates will arrange it." Li Ru was also very happy that Dong Zhuo could use his strategy, and immediately stood up and walked out.

After just walking a few steps, he suddenly turned around and said, "Lord, my subordinates always feel that this kid Liu Miao is a little weird, why don't you make some trouble for him?" ”

"Oh? How do you do that? ”

Li Ru stepped forward and said a few words, Dong Zhuo was in a state of obedience to Li Ru's words at this time, adding a little blockage to Liu Miao without affecting the overall situation, so he naturally readily agreed and let Li Ru arrange it.

Liu Miao naturally didn't know that Li Ru was full of scheming, and regarded the alliance of princes as nothing, and even took him with him. At this time, he was heading straight for Yingchuan with a large army.
