Chapter 182: A Turning Point

"Hungry", Li Kai woke up, moaning uncontrollably, an unprecedented hunger attack him, opened his tired eyes, and the dark scenery on one side, only the oil lamp not far away occasionally flickered, and the restless chirping of the crickets in the starry night could be faintly heard; "Are you awake?" , The deep voice sounded, and the people beside him stood up, blocking the entire firelight, this is Lu Bu, and only he has such a generous body: "Come on!" Prepare some food for the little gentleman! Fast! ”

Li was a little tired, mentally exhausted, in the dark he could see Lu Bu's withered face, his eyes were bloodshot, and he was a little moved in his heart: "Thank you Wenhou for worrying about me, it's really touching me!" ”

Lu Bu rolled his eyes: "Moved by a fart!" If I had nothing to do, I wouldn't have kept a vigil for you, like a vigil, bad luck! Having said this, he himself did not notice a smile on the corner of his mouth; From the deep estrangement between each other, the constant bickering and even the hands, to the current mutual trust, a certain friendship between a prisoner and a general has been established, which may not be so deep, but it is also rare; "What happened?" , The sergeant brought some rice porridge and meat, and Li's eyes suddenly glowed green, and he began to eat with a gobble, and said vaguely: "You say, I'll listen, be detailed!" ”

Lu Bu sighed: "You have been in a coma for three days!" No matter how you scream, you can't wake up, and Lang Zhong can't see it well! Three major things have happened in the past three fucking days! It's not three, but I feel that something is wrong! ”

"Three days? So long? Li Kai's hand paused when he drank porridge, thinking about it, people have a sense of self-protection, especially when they are mentally traumatized, the subconscious will repair itself and avoid reality, and he was also injured in the collision with the system; Kindness! It's been three days! Lu Bu nodded and stretched out his broad palm: "First thing!" According to your assumptions, we attacked them in the armor of the Alliance Army and achieved good results, and we also killed Wang Kuang, the Taishou of Hanoi! That's the only good thing! ”

After a pause, Lu Bu's words trembled a little: "The second thing is that Li Daobing defeated Bishui Pass!" Just spare! What does it mean to be spared alone? It's a mess of defeat, and you can only keep yourself! It is conceivable that the situation in Bishui Pass, the Xiliang army has been completely defeated!

"What method is used? According to the sturdiness of the Bishui Pass, it is almost on par with the Tiger Prison Pass! Li Dao also has an army of sixty or seventy thousand around him, and it is said that Xu Rong of Xingyang also drove over there, and the Western Route Alliance Army is only more than 200,000 people, which is unreasonable? Li Kai put down the food, and the foodie was also shocked at this time; Lu Bu closed his eyes and said: "According to the people who escaped over there, there was a strategist in the alliance army who set up a series of schemes, first challenging Li Dao, and losing nine battles in a row in three days, Li Dao got carried away, and the army was flooded with water!" Xu Rong also arrived after the pass was broken, and he is currently confronting the Alliance Army in that area! ”

"What else is there to do?" , Li asked curiously, these two pieces of news have not yet reached the point of destroying the foundation of the Xiliang Army, far from it, and there is no need to be afraid; Lu Bu's huge fist rattled with me: "Xiangguo has decided to move the capital!" I knew that this was Li Ru's suggestion, and he sent me an order to rush back as soon as possible to raise materials for Dong Xiangguo and dig the imperial tomb! This is the place where I am killed! After that, how will the people of the world perceive me? ”

What will the world think of me? Oh, yes! Digging up the Imperial Tomb? Those who are loyal to the Han family will drench the blood of the dog scolded by Lu Bu and bury it over and over again!

"And what do you want?" , Li Kai is keenly aware that Lu Bu has some strange emotions now, even if he has now lost the possession of the strategist, such a long time of study is enough for him to analyze some things, his eyes and senses are still there, the rest is just to continue to learn, improve, and accumulate, as Chen System said Sooner or later, she will look at Li Kai's face for a while, instead of Li looking at her face; Lu Bu struggled a little: "I can now understand why Ding Yuan warned me when he was dying, he underestimated the power of fame!" I'm quite troubled now, if I continue to cooperate with Dong Zhuo, I will become the target of public criticism in the future, if I rebel, then the people of the world will confirm my reputation as a slave with three surnames! Damn! ”

Why did he recognize Ding Yuan as his father-in-law in the first place? The reason is very simple, in Ding Yuan's troops, he has already installed a lot of his own people, just waiting for the opportunity to receive, and then met Dong Zhuo, and saw that Dong Zhuo has no heir, he wants to repeat the old trick, but whether it is his own father or his father-in-law, as long as you do it, then you will never be able to wash away this notoriety!

Lu Bu regretted it very much, he thought he was smart and chose a shortcut, Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo are all ambitious people, and they are all people who have no heirs, but it is a pity that there is a price to pay for taking shortcuts, and this kind of price is really not something ordinary people can afford!

"I advise you, don't betray Dong Zhuo easily, at least not for now! Otherwise, you will be teased by the Alliance forces, and they will use you as a gunman instead of accepting you sincerely! No matter how powerful the alliance army is, they are still scattered, each with their own thoughts, Dong Zhuo is the most powerful person at the moment!

Originally, as a member of the Alliance Army and an important figure in the think tank, I shouldn't have said this, you should understand! Li raised his eyebrows: "I don't want a bright hero to be ruined!" ”

No matter how Lu Bu means, it can be regarded as bright, compared to those guys with politicians' faces, the surface is much better than the back, no matter what, Lu Bu is still very good to him, he needs to help this person!

"Yes! I know! Lu Bu nodded: "Then this is my third request!" How can I survive in this troubled world? ”

"You're cunning!" , Li shook his head and smiled: "How to survive?" It's a long-term plan, and it includes when you're going to learn to be so cunning to save your life at the moment."

"Learn from you! With a cunning person, even a lump of elm will change! Lu Fengxian shrugged his shoulders and told his own cold joke; Li Kai lay down, thinking quietly, Lu Bu didn't bother, closed his eyes and recuperated, occasionally opened his eyes and glanced at Li Kai, without saying a word, he knew that this was a conversation about his future, a thought, he chose to believe in Li Kai, and Li Kai also chose to help him, then you need to be cautious! This is not child's play!

After a long time, Li Kai opened his eyes and asked, "Do you know yourself?" ”

"What?" , Lu Fengxian didn't know why, and only replied after a while: "Maybe I understand, maybe I don't understand!" But in this troubled world, doesn't everyone want to make a career for themselves? ”

"Oh!" , Li Kai nodded slightly: "According to your surname, you are arrogant, happy, and few people can tolerate you, if you want to choose a master to assist, even if you keep a low profile, they may not accept you, and what happens after the master is very terrifying!" Hehe!

So! The other way you have is to fight for yourself! It's a tough road! It is full of dangers, and the slightest mistake is a catastrophe, not only you will be affected, but your subordinates will be implicated! If you really choose this path, I will also make a path for you, depending on whether you are willing to go or not! ”

"Tell me about it! I also need to be screened! Lu Bu raised his eyebrows; Kill Dong Zhuo! Take over all his forces! Take root in the Xiliang Chang'an area! It sounds simple, but you can imagine how difficult it is! Especially after killing Dong Zhuo, your reputation will also have a low ebb! Li Kai smiled faintly; It is not for nothing that he has been helping Lu Bu all along, he is working hard for his other goal, he is constantly calculating, only when Dong Zhuo dies is his greatest opportunity! That thing can change the pattern of the world!

Lu Bu pondered: "Kill him? A few days ago, news came that Hu Wencai used his body as a bait to assist Li Ru in flooding the alliance army, and one of the four most outstanding generals under Dong Zhuo had died, but the other three were not general, especially Xu Rong and Li Ru! ”

From Xiangguo, Dong Xiangguo to Dong Zhuo, this is undoubtedly a change, which proves that Lu Bu still approves of this matter in his heart! His ambition is not small!

"Hahaha! In Dong Zhuo's repeated depravity, Li Ru's effect is getting smaller and smaller! Rest assured! You don't need to worry about these things, you just need to listen to me for the time being! Do you understand? There was a ghostly smile on the corner of Li Kai's mouth: "Then-let's listen to Li Ru's arrangement first!" ”

Dong Zhuo wants to move the capital, why is this? It is rumored that there is a children's song in Luoyang City: A Han in the east and a Han in the west, the deer can avoid difficulties when they enter Chang'an! The so-called deer naturally refers to the emperor! The same is what it means to chase the world; The children's rhyme appears very strangely, and some people speculate that it is something made up by the royalists of those noble families, but in fact? No! At least Li Ru can say so with certainty! Because this children's rhyme was secretly spread by him!

The strength of the Xiliang army is still there, and in the face of the alliance army of more than 600,000 until now, it has won more than a month and lost less, why should it withdraw to Xiliang? Can it be compared to Luoyang? This is an important place in the Central Plains, and at that time it was a wisp of peace!

Li Ru didn't want to give up so early, Luoyang is an important place in the Central Plains, coupled with the barrier of Xiongguan and dangerous passes, it can be said that it can be attacked, retreated and defended, the population is shady, and the grain and rice are abundant, although it is the target of the public, it is indeed the best place for development; On the other hand, Chang'an, where it is close to Xiliang, Xiliang is more turbulent, Ma Teng and Han Sui are not general, even if they can't beat them, they will often be disgusted by them, perennial wind and sand, the vast land and sparsely populated are not the best place for development; The reason why Li Ru was forced to make this decision was because of Dong Zhuo, his mental state was really bad, he had some improvement, and because of a plan by the royalists to assassinate him, he became manic, and finally killed people for fun, and the silver harem became more and more unpresentable; There are too many people who want to kill him in the land of Luoyang, internal and external troubles, it is really not suitable to continue to stay, once Dong Zhuo falls, the Xiliang army will fall and scatter, and he Li Ru will also die here, return to the Xiliang area, at least they have a solid foundation there; Hedong, Hongnong, and Xiliang counties, that is where they once laid their roots, and going back is equivalent to returning to their hometown, even if there are Ma Teng and Han Sui's elbows, Dong Zhuo can spend a good old age there peacefully; It can be said that Li Ru is a very good strategist and a loyal person, he is really benevolent and righteous, he doesn't owe anything to Dong Zhuo, even if he is his son-in-law! He doesn't owe it either! Dong Zhuo's family business, if it weren't for him, Li Wenyou might not be what it would be like!

The thin body seemed to be blown out by a gust of wind, and Li Ru's sunken eye sockets contained wind and thunder: "How is Lu Bu now?" ”

The sergeant beside him hurriedly said, "Marquis Lu Wen is digging the imperial tomb according to your instructions, looting big households and killing a lot of people!" He seems to be very happy to look at him, and he has hidden a lot of things privately, do you want to? ”

Li Ru waved his hand: "Let him be happy!" Let's go! It's time for us to go! Luoyang is also going to be finished! What a shame this place! Tell Lu Bu to burn it! ”

There are really a lot of things to be buried in the imperial tomb, and a cart of treasure has been excavated and taken away, even those coffins have been pried open, and the state army is very manic, violently destroying everything, without pity; "Is Li Ru gone?" , Li Kai sat on a golden coffin and was amazed: "It's all made of gold, no wonder there is less and less gold on the market!" It's all these emperors and rich people fooling around! Money is used to spend, and it's a pity to spend it for funerals! ”

Lu Bu was in a very unhappy mood: "Li Ru just left!" Xu Rong's troops were left behind! They said they were here to help us, but they weren't actually here to spy on us! Hum! Li Wenyou"

Li Kai raised his eyebrows: "Are you interested in going around the palace with me?" I haven't been in it yet! Let's go! It's a distraction! Don't be so sad, I will do what I promised, but I still need your patience and strict mouth! ”

"Wenyuan! Gather 500 soldiers! Come with us! Lu Bu waved his hand, and Zhang Liao over there began to beckon his soldiers and horses, and after a while they were on the road; The imperial city of Luoyang is very large and occupies the entire center, but now it is a matter of things, Li Kai laughed a little self-deprecatingly: "I think I was just a begging for food here!" Even the clothes on his body were stolen! But who would have thought that after more than a year, I would be able to control the life and death of this city?

The so-called don't bully the poor youth, that's it, life is full of uncertainties, no one knows what their future looks like, but when there is an opportunity, you need to seize the opportunity, and when there is no opportunity, you must create an opportunity! Am I right? Wen Hou? ”

"Who knows? You might as well ask Wen Yuan this kind of question! He's smarter than I am! It's very good to don't bully young people into being poor! Lu Bu looked at Luoyang City casually: "Isn't it a pity to burn it?" ”

"Do you know what I'm looking for when I came to the palace?" , Li Kai smiled faintly: "Few people can withstand her temptation with this thing, but in fact, he is also a dead thing, a worthless broken thing!" One stone! ”

"Few people can resist her temptation? What a fallacy! Are all the eyes of the people of the world blind? Broken rocks will also be regarded as treasures? Lu Bu pursed his lips obviously in disbelief: "Lie to the ghosts!" ”

"Hahaha!" , Li Kai shook his head and smiled: "But it has a name, called - Jade Seal!" ”

"What?" , Lu Bu was shocked: "Didn't you lose the jade seal when you served the fire last year and He Jin?" How do you know where he is? This broken rock is damn - baby! ”

"I'll do the math!" , Li Kai smiled proudly, leaned over to Lu Bu's side and whispered: "You can't be greedy for this thing, you need to dedicate him to Dong Zhuo at an appropriate time?" Do you understand? Don't believe in any destiny, those are all lies! ”

Lu Bu laughed: "Don't worry, I won't have any greed for a broken stone, if I find it, I will store it with you!" Say, we should go**! ”

Li Mou pretended to stretch out his palm and calculate, but in fact, he was playing tricks and nonsense: "In the well in the water!" I can't say exactly where it is, so let's let the sergeants find out! See which well has a problem! ”

"That's it? You really will", Lu Bu obviously didn't believe it: "Since you know all these metaphysics, why don't you believe in any destiny or something?" ”

"You don't understand this, do you? The so-called everything is people-oriented, learn to apply, learn these things for my own use, not for believing! Come with me to see the Imperial Dining Room of the Imperial Palace, that's where I want to go the most! Li Kai is talking nonsense casually; I stayed here all afternoon, and Li made something with the leftover ingredients with great interest, and ate it all afternoon: "Haven't found it yet?" Shouldn't it? Look again! Maybe it's easier in the evening! ”

Before the words fell, the soldier hurriedly ran over: "General! A well was found over there, giving off a strange glow! There seems to be a problem! ”

Li Kai glanced at Lu Bu: "Let's go!" What are you still doing? ”

The body of a palace maid was salvaged in the well, and there was a box in her arms, and after opening it, it was a piece of square jade, missing a corner, and it was written: Ordered by the sky, both longevity and Yongchang!

"That's it! Call it a day! Gao Shun and they are almost done, it's time for us to go! The Confederates will be coming soon! Li Kai put the jade seal in the box, wrapped it in a cloth, and carried it carelessly, this thing just looks novel, it's not a big deal; Lu Bu really didn't have any greed for this game, and he was even more shocked that Li could really pinch it? Isn't that a bit too inward?
