In Luoyang City at the beginning of December, the weather was cold and the snow was flying.

Four days have passed since Li Hao returned to the Three Kingdoms era, and he has once again adapted to the life and rhythm of this era.

Although for Li Hao, he has actually left here for more than half a month, but for others, Li Hao has never left. Only Diao Chan, who has a close relationship with him and has had many in-depth exchanges, faintly feels that some special changes have occurred in Li Hao.

It's just that although Diao Chan is quite favored by Li Hao, he is lowly after all.

Diao Chan understands that in his own identity, what should be known, and even if he knows, he must be regarded as not knowing.

So she didn't, and didn't dare to delve into this matter.

Time passed day by day, and soon it was the middle of December.

The cold weather gradually receded, and there was a rare warmth between heaven and earth.

Li Hao's life in the Three Kingdoms era was quite leisurely, basically three points and one line.

During the day, he went to the Lieutenant's Department to deal with government affairs, or went to the barracks to train newly recruited soldiers, and at night, he went home to train Diao Chan and play some fun and interesting games that could only be played by two people.

On December 13, Cao Cao's news of Dong Jiaowen reaching Luoyang City was like a thunderclap that shook the government and the opposition.

At the same time, it also broke Li Hao's calm and leisurely life.

Inside the Royal Palace.

Dong Zhuo's face was extremely gloomy, his eyes narrowed slightly, like a hungry wolf predatoring, exuding endless murder and tyranny. He is very angry now, and he can't wait to break Cao Cao's body into thousands of pieces, crush his bones and scatter ashes.

Of course, in addition to wanting to break Cao Cao's body into ten thousand pieces, Dong Zhuo also felt a strong crisis.

He was never a conceited man, much less an arrogant fool.

Although Cao Cao's official position is humble, he is not even a figure in the court. But the appearance of Dong Zhuo's article still made Dong Zhuo smell a great crisis.

He had to think about it a little Cao Cao, who dared to issue a crusade against him, what actions would those Taishou and state pastors who had heavy troops and bad intentions do.

In fact, since the local Taishou and the state pastor did not reply to Dong Zhuo's reward, he had already expected that this day might come. It's just that when this day really became a reality, from silent protests to open crusades in various places, Dong Zhuo was still a little difficult to accept.

Among them, there is anger against the Taishou and state pastors in various places, as well as panic that is difficult to hide!

Dong Zhuo, as a Han official, is too aware of the power of those big families.

They are like boundless vines with intricate roots, tightly wrapped around the big Han tree, which has long been crumbling, and even has the idea of replacing them.

It's just that panic is panicking, Dong Zhuo can go from a small officer to his current high position, so naturally he will not choose to sit still.

Just as Dong Zhuo was thinking, Li Ru's face was heavy, and he walked in from the outside in a hurry.

He first saluted respectfully, and then said urgently: "Lord Xiangguo, the news has been confirmed, the traitor Cao Cao recruited troops in Chenliu in a vain attempt to fight against the imperial army. ”

Chen Liu!

Dong Zhuo's thick eyebrows furrowed, his eyes flashed with a cold murderous intent, and the corners of his mouth curled up to reveal a murderous smile. He said coldly: "Okay, good Cao Cao, if this Xiangguo doesn't break your body into ten thousand pieces, how can I convince those juniors!" ”

"Come here, pass on the order of the Prime Minister, if anyone can bring back Cao Cao's head, the Prime Minister will reward him with ten thousand taels of gold, and a thousand households." Dong Zhuo's voice was like thunder, and he did not hide his anger and murderous intentions at all.

After Dong Zhuo vented the anger in his heart, Li Ru said carefully: "Lord Xiangguo, Cao Cao is now a small person, just an insignificant little person, and you don't want to pay so much attention to it." ”

When he said this, he looked worried, and said, "The minister is worried that others may be provoked by the traitor Cao Cao and have a misunderstanding of Lord Xiangguo. Of course, the little Cao Cao is not worried, but if this turmoil is allowed to continue to expand, I am afraid that there will be unnecessary contradictions. ”

The corners of Dong Zhuo's eyes jumped slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "In Wenyou's opinion, how should I deal with it?" ”

Li Ru groaned and explained: "In my humble opinion, Lord Xiangguo should do three things at present.

First of all, in the name of His Majesty, he sent an edict to the local Taishou and the state pastors, so that they could crusade against the traitor Cao Cao. The second is to make the worst plan, seize the time to expand the army and deploy defenses, and not give any young people a chance to meet the turmoil that may occur at any time.

Finally, and most importantly, stabilize the hearts of the internal people, and don't fall for the trick of treacherous people to sow discord. ”

Li Ru said to the end, and carefully lowered his head.

Dong Zhuo's face was gloomy and terrifying, how could he not hear the meaning of Li Ru's second half of the sentence.

Since Li Hao disarmed the Xiliang Army, Dong Zhuo not only pulled it into the blacklist, but also regarded it as a thorn in the flesh, and he couldn't wait to get rid of it quickly.

And because of the relationship between Li Hao and Lu Bu, he even took Lu Bu on guard.

The most obvious manifestation is that Lu Bu must be taken with him when he enters and leaves the palace, but now he is no longer allowed to continue to follow. At the same time, the Bingzhou Army was also disregarded, and when the Xiliang Army was expanding greatly, it only obtained extremely limited resources, which also caused the dissatisfaction of the generals of the Bingzhou Army.

It's not that Dong Zhuo doesn't know these things, it's just that because of Li Hao's affairs, he really can't continue to trust Lu Bu and the Bingzhou Army.

However, Dong Zhuo is a hero in the end, and after a short silence, he said: "Wen You thinks, what should this Xiangguo do now?" ”

Li Ru spoke slowly, and said thoughtfully: "Lu Hao's strength is extraordinary, and he has the power of gods and ghosts. Lu Bu is also a rare tiger general, with the courage of ten thousand people. If the two of them can be used by Lord Xiangguo, even if the worst happens, the imperial court may not have the ability to calm the world.

At present, Lord Xiangguo is at the time of employing people, and the two brothers are rare talents in the world.

In a certain humble opinion, Lord Xiangguo can invite the two to come to the house as guests, and then test the attitude of the two. ”

When Dong Zhuo heard this, although his face was a little ugly, he was not annoyed.

Li Ru's words are very reasonable, whether it is Lu Hao or Lu Bu, they all have extraordinary strength.

Not to mention Lu Hao's unpredictable ability, even with Lu Bu's bravery, there is no one in the Xiliang army who can match it.

If it is just usual, even if the two of them are really capable, but just because they have lost Dong Xiangguo's face, Dong Zhuo will definitely choose to abandon it.

It's just that it's different now, Cao Cao got into trouble, and the world seems to have a sense of injustice.

The unprecedented crisis has swept in, and Dong Zhuo has no choice.

Dong Zhuo pondered for a moment, and finally said: "Wait a minute, it's just our speculation now, and things may not be so bad." ”

The situation is dangerous, but it is not out of control. But based on speculation, Dong Zhuo finally put down his face and begged for peace, he waved his hand and sighed happily.

Li Ru's mouth opened slightly and wanted to persuade, but thinking of Dong Zhuo's character, he finally bowed down helplessly.

He walked out of the main hall and looked at the blue sky, showing a helpless wry smile.

If you invite it again in the future, I'm afraid it won't be as simple as it is now.
