After Lu Bu learned that Zhang He was gone, he just nodded slightly, and he ordered his subordinates to rest in the Mei House, and he went to appease Diao Chan's wounded heart. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Zhang He didn't go alone, he also took a prisoner according to Zhang Bao's instructions, that is, Dong Zhuo's military advisor Li Ru.

After Zhang He returned to Chang'an City, Zhang Bao ordered his subordinates to control Chang'an City, and sent Hou Dasan and Zhang He to guard the four gates of Chang'an City respectively, only allowing them to enter but not to leave.

In Chang'an City, Zhang Bao and Xun You looked at the frightened Li Ru opposite.

"Who are you? Why did you arrest me? What do you want to do? Li Ru asked three times in a row.

"Hehehe! It seems that Wen You is frightened! Zhang Bao smiled at Xun You.

Xun You nodded when he heard this: "Lord, Wen You's experience is much richer than that of his subordinates. He followed Dong Zhuo to fight in the south and the north, and the wars he experienced were estimated to be as many as 100 times, so the lord should spare his life! ”

Zhang Bao smiled when she heard this: "Since the military advisor is pleading, of course I can't kill Wen You." Li Ru, let me ask you, do you know the sins you have committed? ”

Hearing this, Li Ru looked at Zhang Bao and sneered: "You are so young, and my previous captive Xun Yu called you the lord, are you Zhang Bao, the pastor of Qingzhou Prefecture?" ”

Zhang Bao couldn't help nodding when he heard this: "Not bad!" It seems that Wen You hasn't fainted yet! Yes, below is Qingzhou Governor Zhang Bao, Li Ru, are you guilty? ”

"Humph! What sin am I? Li Ru straightened his chest and said, his eyes turned directly to other places, and he didn't look at Zhang Bao at all.

Seeing this, Zhang Bao got up and came to Li Ru's side, and then he patted Li Ru's shoulder and said, "Hehe, Wenyou, it seems that you are dead and do not admit your guilt!" But that's fine! I'm not going to correct your sins. You're a smart person, and I like to deal with smart people.

Now you are given two paths, and you can only choose one of them. The first is that you submit to me, be Xun You's deputy, and help Gongda unify the entire territory of Yongliang. The sins you committed when you helped Dong Zhuo in the past, we are not to blame in the past;

The second is that I will hand you over to Wang Yun and others, and let the Manchu ministers tell you about the sins you have committed in Luoyang, and then they will decide what to do with you.

You can choose one of these two paths. ”

Li Ru's eyes kept rolling when he heard this, he looked at Zhang Bao's serious appearance, and kept thinking about Zhang Bao's words in his heart. After a while, Li Ru said to Zhang Bao: "Zhang Zhoumu, who is willing to die if he can live." Although I helped Dong Zhuo do a lot of bad things in the past, as a minister, I had no choice. Am I not the same if it falls into your hands today? ”

Zhang Bao shook her head again and again when she heard this: "It's different! Li Ru, let me tell you: Dong Zhuo is a saboteur and I am not, you should do your best to stop Luoyang when he burns it! Dong Zhuo is cruel and unreasonable, and neither am I, although I will use some means to achieve my goals, but those I at least require my conscience to be able to get by.

Just like you, although I let Zhang He catch your whole family, I never thought about the meaning of being difficult for your family. Even if I hand you over in the end, I will let your family go. This is the biggest difference between me and Dong Zhuo. ”

Li Ru was really concerned about his family at this time, he knew that his wife was Dong Zhuo's daughter, it stands to reason that he fell into this step of the field, Zhang Bao would definitely not let go of his whole family, but Zhang Bu said so, which made Li Ru's heart soften instantly.

"My lord! As long as you are willing to let my whole family go and let them live incognito, I am willing to spend the rest of my life for the Lord. Li Ru knelt down directly to Zhang Bao and said.

Hearing this, Zhang Bao hurriedly turned around and helped Li Ru up: "Wenyou, the world is changeable!" The reason why I dare to accept you is because your enemy is not me, but your father-in-law himself. If he hadn't forcibly seized Lu Bu's wife, he wouldn't have provoked this mutiny and brought death to himself. I'm keeping you because I fancy your talent. If not, you might have taken your family with you by now. ”

Li Ru was actually extremely aggrieved in his heart, since he learned of Lu Bu's mutiny, Li Ru found a way out for himself and his family, and he prepared several sets of clothes to escape under various circumstances in advance. He didn't know that he and his family were dressed as refugees, but they were still pulled out by Zhang He, which made him feel extremely unhappy.

Li Ru was shocked when he heard this: "Lord, is it really you who robbed Dong Zhuo's gold and silver?" ”

Zhang Bao nodded, and Li Ru's face instantly became extremely bitter: "I see, it turned out that I was smart and showed off my ridiculous ability in front of the lord!" The lord has already played well. Seriously, my escape plan was still the inspiration for me, which is ridiculous! ”

"Hehehe...... Wenyou, you should feel lucky! You don't have to look at the young man, but he is really extraordinary, and you will soon realize that. Now that you have reached an agreement with the lord, then you have to help me calm down Yongliang. Xun You smiled.

"Subordinates meet the lord!" Hearing this, Li Ru knelt down directly to Zhang Bao and said, Zhang Bao smiled and helped Li Ru up: "Wenyou, I know that you are old and can't stand too much tiredness." You don't have to do anything else in the future except to help Xun Yu with advice. ”

When Li Ru heard this, he immediately had a good impression of Zhang Bao, this feeling was something he had never felt after following Dong Zhuo for many years, Dong Zhuo only knew that he was assigned a task and insulted him, and he never cared about him.

Li Ru compared Zhang Bao with Dong Zhuoyi, and immediately distinguished the superior, and bowed to Zhang Bao gratefully at the moment and said: "Thank you for your understanding, that subordinate will live a secluded life in the army in the future." ”

"Hehe, Wenyou will really enjoy it! That's what I mean. Gongda and I are not familiar with the situation in the Yongliang area, and we still need you, a local Zhang Liangduo, to give us more advice. Zhang Bao smiled.

"The subordinates will live up to the trust of the lord." Li Ru hugged his fists.

Zhang Bao then ordered Hou Si to serve the prepared meat and wine, and the three of them had a delicious meal together.

After Li Ru finished eating, he said greedily: "Lord, I often hear that the food in Qingzhou is extremely luxurious, and it is like this every meal!" Don't know if it's true or not? ”

Xun You smiled when he heard this: "Wen You, don't be suspicious!" Ever since I followed my lord, it's been so delicious. The time has come for you to be blessed. ”

When Li Ru heard this, he immediately burst into tears and said, "Lord, I wonder if I can let my family eat like this?" ”

Seeing this, Zhang Bao knew how much Li Ru loved his family, and said with emotion: "Wenyou, please rest assured, your family has already eaten it." The standard is the same as this. Next time you'll eat with your family. As long as I'm here, I'll make sure to eat like this, but if I have something to go out, I'll have to grieve you to eat your usual meals. ”

"My subordinates understand! Thank you for your love! Li Ru knelt down again and thanked him.

Zhang Bao helped Li Ru up, and then asked Li Ru to sit down and said: "Wen You, there is an urgent matter in front of us that must be dealt with now, how do you say I should treat this Manchu minister?" Gongda, you also give your opinion. ”

Hearing this, Li Ru said directly: "My lord, in fact, the current Han Dynasty has long existed in name only, but those ministers are very arrogant!" If you don't be tough enough, your subordinates will fear that you won't be able to control them! Your subordinates think it's better for you to take strong measures. ”

Xun You nodded when he heard this: "Lord, my subordinates agree with Wen You's opinion. You can make yourself the Minister of State and reward your brothers. Don't care what those people think. You can even blackmail the Son of Heaven to order the princes. ”

"Hold the Son of Heaven hostage to order the princes!" Zhang Bao muttered. Then he nodded and said, "Okay, I understand!" As soon as General Hua's army arrives, we will try to subdue General Zhang Liao, and then drive away or kill Lü Bu, and completely control Chang'an, and then we will coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes. ”

"The lord is wise!" Li Ru and Xun You hugged their fists at the same time.

Chang'an was turbulent, Zhang He's army strictly controlled Chang'an, and Zhang Bao ordered Hou to take five and 2,000 soldiers to control the palace, but he still hid behind the scenes and did not show his head. In the entire Chang'an City, except for Situ Wang Yun, everyone knows what the current situation is. More people believe that Wang Yun's son-in-law Lü Bu controlled Chang'an.

Zhang Bao didn't move, although there were many people visiting outside Wang Yun's mansion every day, but Wang Yun didn't receive any of them, he was waiting for Zhang Bao's news.

After Zhang Liao integrated Guo Yan's surrendered troops, plus his former subordinates, he obtained a total of 40,000 soldiers and horses. He first came to Chang'an City with a large army, but was told that he was not allowed to bring troops in. Zhang Liao asked to see Zhang He, so Zhang Liao entered Chang'an alone.

At the north gate of Chang'an, Zhang Liao entered Chang'an, and when he saw Zhang He, he frowned and said, "What does this mean, big brother?" Why not let the brothers into town? Is it possible to let the brothers spend the night outside the city? ”

Zhang He waved his hand when he heard this, stopped Zhang Liao's words, and then pulled him to the city tower, where wine and meat had been arranged. Zhang Liao looked at Zhang He in confusion.

Zhang He poured Zhang Liao a full glass of wine and said, "Brother Xian, my brother can't stand you!" Brother will make amends to you first! ”

After Zhang He finished speaking, he drank it all, Zhang Liao also drank it all, he was depressed at this time, he didn't know what Zhang He meant. Zhang He waited for Zhang Liao to finish drinking and said, "Brother Xian, my brother is actually not Zhang Qiang. ”

Zhang Liao was stunned when he heard this, the shock in his ninja's heart, he blinked and looked at Zhang He and said, "Big brother, what do you mean?" You're not Zhang Qiang, so who are you? ”

Zhang He shook his head when he heard this, patted Zhang Liao's shoulder with his hand and said: "Brother is Zhang He, the word is Yiyi, my younger brother Zhang Xiaoqiang is the governor of Qingzhou, and he is also my lord."

"What?" Zhang Liao stood up in shock when he heard this, and then he looked at the familiar and unfamiliar Zhang He: "Big brother, you are actually Zhang He, a famous general in Qingzhou?" You are really hiding it from your little brother! ”

Hearing this, Zhang He drank a glass of wine and said, "Wenyuan! Brother really likes your talent to worship you! Brother doesn't mean to deceive you. By the way, we also have a sworn brother, he is Gao Ran, you must have heard the name of the eldest brother, so down, you are the third, I am the second. ”

"Stop!" Zhang Liao shouted loudly when he heard this, and then he looked at Zhang He and grabbed his hair in pain: "Big brother, you really make it so embarrassing for the little brother to do this!" ”

Zhang He waved his hand when he heard this, and he didn't even look at Zhang Liao: "Wenyuan, you can decide however you want, anyway, the lord and I appreciate your ability." I am very happy that you are willing to continue to recognize me as a big brother, and if you want to leave, my brother will not stop you. ”

When Zhang Liao heard this, he immediately thought about it in place, and after a while, he sat opposite Zhang He and bowed his head and pondered.
