Chapter 214, Merge the state army back and merge the state
Dong Zhuo was going crazy, he never thought that he would be careless and let the situation evolve into such a situation.
But no matter how angry he is, he can't change some things that have happened, or are destined to happen, such as the departure of Lu Bu and the Bingzhou army, although there is no relevant news yet, the camp in the northern suburbs of Luoyang is still standing there, but the clues reveal Lu Bu's intentions, and Dong Zhuo knows that it is a foregone conclusion.
This means that he can no longer control this so-called righteous son, even if it is only in name, and after this time, people all over the world will definitely wait to see their jokes of "father and son fighting", and look at his jokes Dong Zhuo, which Dong Zhuo can never tolerate, but now he can't restrain Lu Bu at all, he has no way to stop it, and he doesn't have the courage to stop him.
He knew that if he wanted to really stop Lu Bu at this time, unless he was mentally prepared to start with the other party immediately, he couldn't do it at all, but he really completely tore his face? There was no need for Li Ru's persuasion, Dong Zhuo also knew what a bad consequence it would be.
Being seen as a joke is just a loss of face, and if you lose it, you will get used to it, but you can completely tear your face with Lu Bu, and the result is that he can't afford it, and from then on he will really lose one less ally, and the world is all his enemies, even if he is really consumed by the desire for power, Dong Zhuo will not be able to see this clearly.
Because of this, Dong Zhuo is even more entangled, in his heart, Lu Bu may understand this point, so he will be so fearless.
If he couldn't vent his anger on the head of the initiator Lu Bu, Dong Zhuo could only find another punching bag, so he looked at the garrison of Taicang and the garrison of the arsenal with a blue face at the moment, and said hatefully: "You useless waste!" ”
The two guards felt that they were now stripped sheep, and they would not do anything except tremble, Dong Zhuo hated and kicked them twice, they had nowhere to dodge and did not dare to dodge, they could only bear it alive, Dong Zhuo's fat and bloated body God knows how to have such a strong strength, and these two kicks are not something that ordinary people can bear. The two of them only felt a mess in their hearts. barely maintained a kneeling posture, but in fact, he hated to be able to curl up.
Li Ru next to him looked at this scene, his face was expressionless, he actually had some regret in his heart, he still underestimated Lu Bu, from the previous time to kill Wang Yun and blame Dong Zhuo and spread rumors, so that the entire Luoyang wind and waves should be alert.
Li Ru had also specially sent someone to investigate the origin of the rumor before. It turned out that the rumor actually came from the mouth of the guards of the Xiangguo Mansion at the beginning, and it was unknown who it was, but because he was worried that Dong Zhuo would go crazy again, he didn't sue him in the end.
Now that I think about it, maybe my mentality was also expected by Lu Bu. He really has no fear.
And just when they were focusing on this matter, and even Dong Zhuo eliminated Xun Shuang and others one by one to prevent future troubles, this clinker Lu Bu actually had other plans, and this plot was the most headache for Li Ru.
Now it is winter, but in recent years, it has been a disaster year, the harvest in the fields is not good, and the people's families do not have much grain in stock, and maybe they will have to use the grain from Taicang to come out for relief at that time. But now Taicang has been looted by Lu Bu - although there is no obvious evidence left. But Li Ru can still be sure that this matter is inseparable from Lu Bu.
And it's not just Taicang. The arsenal contained a large number of defending ordnance, although the larger ones such as the gun carriages they could not transport, but they were also destroyed, and the strategic reserves of the weight of arrows were carried out, which was millions of arrows.
Li Ru also had a headache when he thought of this, he also didn't have a good impression of these two guards, no matter what, they let the enemy achieve their goal lightly, and they were indeed worthy of Dong Zhuo's "waste" call for them.
Finally, Dong Zhuo was so bored that he drove the two guards who were like amnesty like flies, and then frowned at the pair of thick eyebrows and said to Li Ru: "Wen You, the situation seems to be a little not good." ”
Li Ru saw that Dong Zhuo seemed to be a little depressed, and he also sighed in his heart, he really knew why he had to do it in the first place?
It is not unreasonable for him to think so, because although he didn't expect Lu Bu to have today, but Li Ru made a special recommendation to Dong Zhuo from the beginning for Lu Bu's restrictions, especially for Zhang Liao's wooing, because of Dong Zhuo's repeated hesitation, he was finally taken back by Lu Bu who "suddenly woke up", and for a small role like Cheng Lian, Li Ru has never taken it to heart, but because Dong Zhuo was unexpectedly enthusiastic, he extended an olive branch to him, but he didn't expect this guy to be so stupid that he exposed himself in advance and caused a fatal disaster- The death of Cheng Lian is also a point of suspicion for Li Ru.
When did Dong Zhuo really start listening to Li Ru's advice to contain Lu Bu? Asking Li Ru to poison Lu Bu before could only be regarded as a momentary hot-headedness, so he was still happy to hear that Lu Bu was okay in the end.
To be precise, this was an idea that only arose after the Battle of the Tiger Prison, because at that time, Lu Bu had already raised the power of the Tiger Prison and shocked the world, and his momentum was like the sky, whether it was the previous Tiger Prison outside the Tiger Prison to single-handedly challenge the coalition army or later use the Yanshi Fire Bull Array outside the city to break the coalition army, his Wen Taowu strategy, wisdom and courage were vividly embodied, and it also made him high for a while, so that Dong Zhuo was deeply jealous, and only then did he think of curbing and even getting rid of Lu Bu, which led to a series of subsequent plans.
However, no matter how much Li Ru sighed, but at this time, the first thing must not make Dong Zhuo lose confidence, Lu Bu may be a potential threat, but he can't be provoked by Dong Zhuo's nerves and make him mess up.
Li Ru thought about what he had to say, and after a while, he said: "Even if this Lu Fengxian really returns to the state with the state army at that time, Xiangguo actually doesn't have to worry too much, the land of the state is located in the border fortress, and it borders the Xianbei, Xiongnu and even the Qiang people, and then there will be a headache for Lu Bu; And didn't Xiangguo forget that Lu Feng first arranged manpower in the Xiliang army, and we also laid a nail in his merger army. ”
was reminded by Li Ru like this, Dong Zhuo's eyes suddenly lit up.
Yes, of course he will not forget this, and there are people in the state army, and this is the most important place.
"But ......"
"But what?"
"We have to think about how to contact these nails now, after all, they are going to return to the state, after all, the distance is too far, it is not conducive to our control, people's hearts are changeable, in case of a long time, it is not impossible for them to switch to Lu Bu."
"So what to do?" Dong Zhuo was a little anxious, and Li Ru saw that Dong Zhuo's appetite was almost hanging, so he smiled and said, "So we must establish a new channel to contact them, and we must ensure their loyalty." They are not from Bingzhou, their families are all in Luoyang, and they are all in our hands, we just need to remind them, so that they do not dare to act rashly, and then have a little hope with them, whether it is to have the opportunity to reunite with their families in the future, or to be able to give them a sufficiently attractive reward, so that they do not worry about their disobedience to the order to die. ”
Dong Zhuo immediately clapped his hands, "Okay, that's it." (To be continued.) )
