Liu Yao had planned to leave the Allied forces at about this time. This Yuan Shao's move also happened to help Liu Yao come up with an excuse. This Dong Zhuo estimated that he would soon return to Luoyang from the Tiger Prison Pass. Then the capital was moved to Chang'an. Then there is no need to stay on your own. Luoyang didn't mean anything to Liu Yao at all. Meaningful may be the heirloom jade seal.

Guo Jia on the side listened to Liu Yao's words and snickered in his heart, looking at the shameless Liu Yao with some admiration. He knew where Liu Yao was going next. obviously wanted to leave by himself, but he still said it so sensationally, as if he was disappointed in Yuan Shao and had to leave.

Cao Cao was extremely angry when he heard this. This is not only for Yuan Shao, but also for the entire allied army. Since the alliance was formed, the princes have indulged in lust all day long, either intrigue, or hidden strength. Only Liu Yao is the one who has really contributed.

"Take care, General." Cao Ao clenched his fists and said.

"Ha Luha, Meng De, you also take care." Liu Yao said with a smile.

All the princes also saluted Liu Yao one by one, and then said no more. As for Yuan Shao, he didn't even look at Liu Yao.

Immediately, Liu Yao led the army in the direction of Chang'an, where he Liu Yao had already arranged everything.

In the Tiger Prison Pass, Lu Bu had hastily bandaged his injuries, and now he went to see his stepfather Dong Zhuo.

And when the tablemate heard the news of Lu Bu's return, he immediately greeted him with a smile, "Ha Luha, Feng Xianwu'er, but I repelled those princes." ”

However, before he finished speaking, he saw the injury on Lu Bu's left arm, as well as the long hair that was a little scattered but had been recoiled. Seeing this, Dong Zhuo was completely stunned. Surprised, he shouted, "Fengxian, you are ......"

"Father-in-law......" Lu Bu exclaimed with some shame. After all, he, Lu Bu, claimed to be the number one military general in the world, and now he was defeated. Although it is not a matter of strength, no one will care about these things, and the world knows that he Lu Bu is defeated.

"You ......" Dong Zhuo said angrily, looking at Lu Bu with some discouragement. In his opinion, this Lu Bu was defeated, so the value of this Lu Bu was not so high, and this Lu Bu was not worth it at all.

"General Lu, seeing that you are also injured, it is better to go down and rest early." At this time, Li Ru stood up and said. As he spoke, he gave Dong Zhuo a look. Signal him not to be angry.

Dong Zhuo saw Li Ru's eyes. Knowing that Li Ru had his own intentions, his face immediately softened, and he said gently, "Fengxian, you better go back and rest a little." ”

"Yes, father-in-law." With that, he turned and left. But the incomparable resentment in his eyes couldn't be hidden.

"Virtuous son-in-law, why are you stopping me, this Lu Bu is also known as the number one military general in the world, and he will be defeated, so what's the use of me keeping him!!" Dong Zhuo saw Lu Bu leave. Angry shouted.

"Father-in-law, this Lu Bu's martial arts are indeed the best in the world, and the previous defeat was entirely due to other reasons, no wonder he was." Li Ru explained. Dong Zhuo hadn't seen Lu Bu's battle before. But Li Ru, who had been on the city wall, saw it all.

"And that Lu Bu is a tiger and wolf, and he can kill his father-in-law Ding Yuan for a red rabbit horse and defect to his father-in-law. If you are a father-in-law, you will turn against him in the main crowd. It's hard to guarantee that he won't betray his father-in-law. Then once the 50,000 wolf cavalry under his command rebelled, we wouldn't be able to please it at that time. Li Ru persuaded him.

"Reasonable. The virtuous son-in-law is right. Dong Zhuo couldn't stop nodding when he heard this. If he had turned his face with Lu Bu in public before. In case Lu Bu casually gave himself a chance when he was by his side, wouldn't his Dong Zhuo's life be guaranteed at that time? Come to think of it. Dong Zhuo couldn't help but shudder.

"Then what should we do with this Lu Bu now, I always feel a little uncomfortable with such a dangerous person by my side." Dong Zhuo asked. He was still worried about when he would be clicked by Lu Bu. That's a.

Li Ru smiled when he heard this, "Father-in-law is worry-free, this Lu Bu is not a person who cherishes his life, he is still under the command of his father-in-law, so he doesn't dare to do anything, because he is also afraid of the army under our command." Therefore, as long as the father-in-law tries to win over this Lu Bu and does not force him to a dead end, then with this Lu Bu's character, he is still the sharpest sword in the hands of the father-in-law. Fight for your father-in-law. ”

"Good!! The virtuous son-in-law is really talented, so if he says so, then I will be relieved. Dong Zhuo said with a smile.

But in the next moment, Dong Zhuo's face darkened suddenly, and he asked a little impatiently, "Wen Wei, what should I do with this tiger prison, although I repelled the siege of all the princes before." But you have also seen that because of Lu Bu's defeat, the morale of the soldiers under our command has plummeted. And those princes have not yet fully arrived, once all the princes of the Sixteenth Road have arrived, plus Liu Yao's child, I am worried that this tiger prison will not be able to hold it. Dong Zhuo naturally didn't know that Liu Yao had left the Tiger Prison Pass now, and he didn't know where to go, if he knew Lu Dao, maybe Dong Zhuo wouldn't be so worried.

For example, after listening to this, his eyes rolled and said, "I don't know, my father-in-law, I heard a nursery rhyme circulating in Luoyang a few days ago?" ”

"What kind of nursery rhyme?" Dong Zhuo asked suspiciously. He hadn't really heard of any nursery rhymes.

"If it is like this, there is a Han in the west, a Han in the east, and the deer enters Chang'an, so that there will be no difficulty." Li Ru said while pacing in the middle of the camp tent.

Dong Zhuo was completely confused when he heard it. He Dong Zhuo can be said to be a completely rough person, and he knows nine out of ten things like poetry and songs, and he doesn't know anything about it. Hurriedly asked shamelessly.

For example, he naturally knew how much ink Dong Zhuo had in his stomach, and hurriedly explained, "There is a Han in the west, and that is in response to Gaozu Jiandu and the western capital Chang'an, and there are 12 emperors." The Han in the east is the fulfillment of the Guangwu Emperor Yu Wang Mang's hands to regain power, re-establish the Han Dynasty, and move the capital to the eastern capital Luoyang. There are also 12 emperors so far. Providence is like this, as long as the father-in-law moves the capital to Chang'an, then he can be upright and worry-free. ”

"Good, good!!" Dong Zhuo shouted three times in a row, and then continued, "A good deer walks into Chang'an, so there is no difficulty, if it weren't for the virtuous son-in-law to explain to me, I really don't understand the meaning of this." This nursery rhyme is really providential. ”

In fact, Dong Zhuo himself also has three points in his heart. This Chang'an is the old capital of the Han Dynasty, and it is naturally a blessed land. It is inevitable that there will be a thousand miles of Shu land with fertile fields. There are also Hangu Pass, Tongguan and other natural hazards stationed. Easy to defend and difficult to attack. Although the current Liangzhou has been taken away by Liu Yao and Ma Teng. But most of those half are barren places, and the really rich places are still under his Dong Zhuo's control. As soon as he came to Chang'an in this way, he could sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, quietly watch the major princes of the Central Plains lose and lose, and then come out to clean up the mess.

However, what Dong Zhuo didn't know was that this nursery rhyme was not providential at all, it was completely what Li Ru meant, but Li Ru naturally did it for Dong Zhuo's good.

Dong Zhuo laughed at this time, he was very satisfied with Li Ru's son-in-law, if it weren't for Li Ru's help, he wouldn't have Dong Zhuo's current life. At the same time, I was quite proud of my way of marrying my daughter to Li Ru.

But then Dong Zhuo thought of another question, and hurriedly asked, "Virtuous son-in-law, this is still a big problem, although this Chang'an is a very subordinate place in Liangzhou, but with Wang Mang's calculation of the Han Dynasty, this Chang'an has been a little dilapidated, and it has not been repaired since Emperor Guangwu moved the capital." The population of Chang'an is also pitifully small. If we go to Chang'an, where will we get the money and population to support so many of our troops? ”

Li Ru smiled when he heard this, "Don't worry, father-in-law, I already have a way." ”

Dong Zhuo was overjoyed when he heard this, and shouted, "Virtuous son-in-law, come quickly?" ”

"This Luoyang has a large population, as long as the population of Luoyang is relocated to Chang'an, the population problem can be solved. As for the question of money, it's even simpler. There are many wealthy merchant families in Chang'an, and all of them are very rich. The father-in-law only needs to issue a warrant to raid his house and destroy him. Wouldn't all the problems be solved by robbing them of their money for their own use? Li Ru said with a cold smile.

I have to say that Li Ru's ruthlessness is not much more reckless than Jia Xu and Cheng Yu. (To be continued......)
