Chapter 765: Li Ru seeks again
"This time, we must also take the Empress Dowager Dong into our hands. With Empress He's usual methods, if she misses this opportunity, then there will be no second opportunity like this. In a tent of the Liangzhou Army, Li Ru talked eloquently.
Sitting on the main seat is Dong Zhuo, who is in the camp tent at the moment, there are only the two of them, and there is no one else in the camp tent.
Of course, this is not a handsome tent, Dong Zhuo does not live in the tent now, the camp tent that rests every day will be changed, except for those cronies and guards, even the soldiers in the army don't know which camp Dong Zhuo will rest in at night.
From the outside, the camp was unremarkable, there wasn't even a single soldier guarding, only a few soldiers squatting at the door of the tent chatting. Farther away, the patrol soldiers patrolling the battalion were all too common.
This is another change made by Li Ru, since the last time he let the person he wants take what he wants, this time he has no luck. Li Ru didn't leave his hand for the next arrangement, as long as someone broke in, after being discovered by the army soldiers, there was only one dead word.
For Dong Zhuo's safety, it has been improved to the point where it is now, and even the soldiers in the army don't know about it, let alone those assassins who have arrived. Even if the Assassins grabbed a soldier and tried to ask about Dong Zhuo's whereabouts, they couldn't get any relevant information.
This is why Li Ru and Dong Zhuo have such an ordinary conversation in an ordinary camp. It's all ordinary, everything is hidden under the ordinary, and only when it's really activated, will people see what is hidden underneath.
"yes." Dong Zhuo sighed, his injuries were no longer hindered, but he was extremely depressed in the past few days.
It's not because of assassination, assassination is such a thing, he has encountered a lot of it when he was in Liangzhou, and he is used to it. Because, after he arrived in Luoyang City, he found that the situation in Luoyang City was not as optimistic as he imagined, and even became a situation that was not favorable to him.
Dong Zhuo picked up a glass of wine and drank it all, he was a little pessimistic. "What if someone gets ahead of us this time?" he said. If there is only Liu Xie in his hands, he will not be able to change the situation too much, and he may be attacked by a group. ”
As he spoke, Dong Zhuo's mood became more and more depressed, so he picked up the wine jug, poured wine into the wine glass again, raised the wine glass again, and drank it all.
"No, it won't fail." Li Ru said firmly.
Dong Zhuo's expression and reaction are all in his eyes, and he has the same experience, in fact, he also has it, and he can empathize with it. When a plan that has been in the works for so long is about to fail, anyone will have the same sense of loss, which is something that comes after everything that has been put in and out of return.
But he can't be like Dong Zhuo, his father-in-law, so low and lose confidence. What a strategist has to do is to remain calm, not to be affected, and to be cautious in judging the guest officer, no matter what the situation, so as to start a new plan.
The kidnapping of the Empress Dowager Dong is Li Ruxin's plan, as long as the Empress Dowager Dong is kidnapped, with the Empress Dowager and the Prince Association in hand, the article in it has a lot to do. At the same time, as long as Empress Dowager Dong shows up and asks her to point out Empress He's mistakes, then the loss of Empress He's reputation is very large.
Empress Dowager Dong will inevitably stand on their side, or the one who is willing, because in their hands, there is not only the card of the prince Liu Xie, but also the other card, which is the edict left by the first emperor.
With the edict in hand, their legitimacy is there, and whether those officials want to believe it or not, they must recognize Liu Xie's identity. When the time comes, if there are any more unbelievers, use the force in their hands to force them to confess, and it will be over.
It's as simple as that.
It's very simple, although it's so simple, it's just as simple as it is imagined, and Li Ru knows this very clearly. No matter how careful and rigorous a thing is, when it comes to the actual implementation, there may be all kinds of accidents and mistakes.
As a qualified strategist, Li Ru has always been self-aware, and he doesn't believe that anyone can calculate everything about the incident. His plan, the plan to send Hua Xiong to hijack the Empress Dowager Dong, may fail, but he can't say it, all he can say is that it will not fail.
"I hope so." Dong Zhuo put down his wine glass and exhaled a breath, after being comforted by Li Ru, he was finally not as pessimistic as he was just now.
This son-in-law of his is not an ordinary person, he is very wise, which is why he married his daughter to him. It is to win over, to make Li Ru his real person, so that he can put his mind at ease.
"Hua Xiong should be able to handle this thing, right? As long as there is no external interference. Dong Zhuofa asked.
"Empress He asked Empress Dowager Dong to leave Luoyang City at this time, she was in such a hurry, the external reason was the pain of losing her son, but the real reason was only to dilute the influence of Empress Dowager Dong in the court. A queen will become the queen mother when the time comes, and she doesn't want to have a queen mother suppressing her on her head. ”
"As long as it's not personally escorted by the Yulin Army, there will be no problem. Empress He would definitely not send the Yulin Army to escort her, what she wanted to do was extremely simple. That is to let the Empress Dowager Dong arrive at the river smoothly, and then, find a suitable opportunity to kill the Empress Dowager Dong in a more acceptable way. Li Ru saw it very thoroughly, and deduced Queen He's plan from the side branches.
In his eyes, there were few conspiracies that could escape, including Empress Ho. Empress He is actually not clever in her means, including after the death of the first emperor, she immediately wanted to eradicate the unstable factor of the prince Liu Xie, which was too urgent and impatient.
It can also be seen from her response pattern that she has always been weed-in-root. Including killing Wang Meiren, to Liu Xie later, and then to the current Empress Dowager Dong, maybe she was afraid of any accidents.
This series of behaviors also inadvertently shows that she actually has a ghost in her heart. If there are no ghosts in my heart, I will be upright and slow in the general situation, and I will not be able to find any fault with everything, and I will not even give people a chance.
"After all, it's a woman." Li Ru said in his heart and shook his head slowly.
But he also has some luck, fortunately, Queen He is a woman, or is it the kind of person who is not very knowledgeable and short-sighted, so that they will have their chances? Otherwise, according to what he thought before, that kind of upright and upright means of suppressing people with great momentum, they are afraid that they will have to go back to Liangzhou now.
If you don't send someone to arrest Liu Xie, then it is impossible for Liu Xie to trust him and follow him. If they don't send the Empress Dowager Dong away and keep her away from the center of power, they don't have the opportunity to contact the Empress Dowager Dong, that is the palace, how can they break in?
This series of opportunities was given to them by Empress He herself unintentionally, as long as there was a little gap, a little negligence, it was enough for Li Ru.
Li Ru continued with the previous topic, "In this case, the people guarding the Empress Dowager Dong will definitely not be able to use the Yulin Army, an army that is extremely loyal to the royal family, to protect them. Otherwise, if she protects the Empress Dowager Dong too well, how can she have a chance to do it? ”
"Father-in-law, in addition to the Yulin Army, do you think that under the elite iron cavalry led by Hua Xiong, there are other armies that can stop it?" Li Ru asked with a smile, his words filled with strong confidence.
He has never doubted the combat effectiveness of Liangzhou's elite, and as for saying that he can't beat the Yulin Army, that's just a conservative statement. Although the Yulin Army selects the children of a good family, the three generations of ancestors must also be in the army, which can be called the elite of the elite.
However, how many battles did the Yulin Army experience in Luoyang City? How many times have you fought on the battlefield? How much enemy blood did their men stain?
Li Ru didn't know that the intelligence of the Yulin Army, when he came to Luoyang City earlier, he also thought about getting the information of the Yulin Army, but he had no chance. The only thing he knew was that the Liangzhou Army, the soldiers under his command, the most elite group of people, came out of the sea of corpses and blood, and under everyone's feet, there was a pile of bones gathered by the Qiang people.
This is the real army, if the Yulin army has not seen blood, compared to their army, it is almost like a paper paste. It was too fragile to be crushed in one blow.
There is a difference between not being on the battlefield and not killing anyone, and completely being on the battlefield and killing someone. No matter how well he trains and how strong his combat effectiveness is, if he has never been on the battlefield, everything is always unfamiliar, he may be frightened, he may be frightened, or he may be scared to pee, and then he will lose his mind all of a sudden, and he can take his life.
The reason why Li Ru is so clear is that he has also fought with the army, and the army system under his command is also led by veterans and new recruits, so that there will be no situation where the recruits will be stunned after they go to the battlefield. However, the people of Liangzhou have always been tough, and killing people in the eyes of the people of Liangzhou is actually a very common thing.
After General Dingbo pacified the Qiang, the Qiang people rebelled again for a long time, and the people of Liangzhou, as long as the Qiang people came, they all took up arms, fought against the Qiang, and protected themselves.
Such a common people are extremely fierce and martial, and it has become very simple to recruit troops from them. He only needs to train again, and he can basically set foot on the battlefield at once, which is much stronger than the soldiers he had seen along the way when he came to Luoyang City before.
"Yes." Dong Zhuo laughed, he had been Yu Lin Lang for three years, and no one knew the true strength of Yu Lin Jun better than him.
The current Yulin Army is no longer the Yulin Army of Emperor Wu, or the Yulin Army of Emperor Guangwu. In his opinion, even the Yulin Army will be completely defeated by the army under his command!
