Chapter 123 Li Ru Jinyan

At this time, Guan Yu was supervising men and horses in Luoyang, raising military rations, strengthening fortifications, strengthening training, and preparing for war, but Dong Zhuo was still indulging in wine and couldn't extricate himself, Guan Yu was busy with his army construction all day long, such a big movement and action suddenly alarmed many other generals in Luoyang, everyone felt incredible when they saw Guan Yu like this, who else could compete with Dong Zhuo in the world except Ding Yuan? Who would dare to compete with Dong Zhuo? Everyone thought that Guan Yu was doing this superfluously and unnecessary, but Guan Yu knew what he was doing, and his intuition told him that the war was imminent.

Guan Yu's big movement has aroused a high degree of vigilance among a person, who is it? That is Dong Zhuo's son-in-law Li Ru, this Li Ru, as Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, is Dong Zhuo's confidant, and is Dong Zhuo's most trusted person, because he is a family member and a strategist around him, Li Ru's speech in front of Dong Zhuo is also quite weighty, even more than Guan Yu, this Li Ru is a person who has a certain way, and has repeatedly offered advice in front of Dong Zhuo, and is also a think tank figure around Dong Zhuo, and he also assisted Dong Zhuo step by step to the position of the overlord and seize the central power, and this Li Ru also executed King Hongnong and Concubine Tang, is also a ruthless person, and has offered poison to Dong Zhuo many times

This Li Ru has always been wary of Guan Yu, because Guan Yu is in charge of military power, Li Ru pays special attention to him, Guan Yu as Dong Zhuo's right-hand man has made many meritorious achievements, and has shown extraordinary military talent, is Dong Zhuo can rely on the strength of the force, under the assistance of Guan Yu Dong Zhuo step by step, climb until Luoyang, won the central power, this way Guan Yu has made great contributions, but Guan Yu's prestige and influence in the army are also increasing day by day, it is this point that caused Li Ru to be highly vigilant.

Li Ru had suggested to Dong Zhuo many times to guard against Guan Yu before, but because of Guan Yu's outstanding military talent and the time to employ people, Dong Zhuo had to use Guan Yu again and again.

Now Dong Zhuo has sat in Luoyang and defeated Ding Yuan, forced away Yuan Shao, drove away Cao Cao, and for a time the power of the people was unprecedentedly strong, becoming the largest overlord in the world, coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and there were no internal worries and no external troubles, and no one dared to be his enemy anymore, at this time Dong Zhuo also thought that there was no worries and enjoyed himself, but at this time, Guan Yu acted frequently in the military, engaged in military training and raised grain and grass everywhere, and asked his generals to prepare for military struggles. This kind of fanfare suddenly made Li Ru vigilant

Now that he has Luoyang, and he, Guan Yu, is making a big fuss about the military at this juncture, is this obviously trying to do something! Now that there is no war outside, is he clearly trying to seize power by doing this, and whose power is it to take? Obviously, only Dong Zhuo has the most power in the court, and his ambition is not small! He wants to seize Dong Zhuo's power, there is no other explanation, this is the only explanation.

Li Ru, as Dong Zhuo's son-in-law and Dong Zhuo's adviser, naturally considered Dong Zhuo in the face of major rights and wrongs, Guan Yu made such a big move at the time when Dong Zhuo was ignoring political affairs, and it coincided with the time when he was sweeping away the trouble, Guan Yu's inexplicable behavior suddenly aroused Li Ru's suspicions and speculations, he was already on guard against Guan Yu, this person with military power had already entered his sight, this time Guan Yu's extraordinary move ignited the defense in his heart to the extreme

Li Ru came to Yongle Palace overnight to see Dong Zhuo, it happened that the night on duty was replaced by Hua Xiong, it turned out that the literary appointment was worth the day shift, Hua Xiong was on duty at night, this Hua Xiong is also Dong Zhuo's confidant, and he has always been loyal to Dong Zhuo, so as Dong Zhuo's son-in-law Li Ru came to Yongle Palace, Hua Xiong naturally did not dare to slack off, Li Ru said that there was something important to discuss with Dong Zhuo, Hua Xiong immediately ran into the Yongle Palace to report to Dong Zhuo, at this time Dong Zhuo was still having fun in the Yongle Palace, seeing Hua Xiong came to say that Li Ru had something important to invite, Dong Zhuo still disdainfully said: " What's so urgent about running at night? ”

"Wen You has repeatedly said that the matter is urgent, and I hope the lord can take time to meet him!" Hua Xiong continued to persuade.

Dong Zhuo said impatiently when he heard him say this: "Okay then! You let him in, I'll go change my clothes!" ”

Hua Xiong led the order out of the Yongle Palace and ordered Li Ru to enter the Yongle Palace, Li Ru hurriedly entered the Yongle Palace, and Dong Zhuo met him outside the hall of the Yongle Palace, Dong Zhuo was a little unhappy and said: "What's the matter, are you looking for me so late?" ”

"If you don't have anything to do, you won't go to the Three Treasures Palace, the lord is going to have a big incident!" Li Ru said with a glare.

When Dong Zhuo heard him say this, he looked at his expression and asked, "What happened?" Wen You is so flustered? ”

"Have you heard anything these days?" Li Ru asked.

Dong Zhuo wondered: "If you haven't heard what happened, just say it!" ”

"I came this time to tell the lord about Guan Yu!" Li Ru continued.

When Dong Zhuo heard this, he suddenly came to his senses and said, "What's wrong with Guan Yu?" ”

"The lord may not know that Guan Yu has been uncharacteristically grasping military training these days, and he has been constantly collecting money and food from everywhere, and his generals have also made moves, directing his soldiers to train every day, Guan Yu is busy with various affairs of the army every day, and all the 80,000 troops under him have been mobilized, I suspect that such a big move by this kid may not be good for the lord!" Li Ru continued to persuade.

When Dong Zhuo heard this, he was puzzled: "Yun Chang has always grasped military training very tightly, this is nothing strange!" He has always been like this, and you are so worried! ”

"No, no! The lord must not be careless, if it is changed to usual, this Guan Yu training is beyond reproach, but now it seems to be very out of place, how to say it? The lord and think that now we have sat in Luoyang, the capital division, commanding the world, the lord has also become the biggest hero in the world, the power is also at the peak, and defeated Ding Yuan before, the power is great, the lord is so beautiful naturally arouses the coveted of some people who have a desire for power, Guan Yu is the lord of the general, many military exploits, has high prestige in the army, and the generals also have many admirers, this person does not say that there are ideas and actions, even if there is no situation, he should also ponder the control of his military power, But Guan Yu has obviously come ahead of us now, in recent days, he has been constantly moving, making preparations for military struggles, and constantly expanding his strength, I think Guan Yu's move is not trivial, so he came to report to the lord overnight! Li Ru continued to explain.
