Hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses were dispatched, far from overnight.

Although the movements in the states and counties are extremely high, it is not easy to raise the supplies of hundreds of thousands of troops to go on the expedition.

So on the surface, the world has been torn apart, but the war did not start immediately.

If you want to say that the anti-Dong forces in various parts of the world can be roughly divided into three places: the sour jujube coalition army is Yanzhou and Yuzhou; The Hanoi coalition army is the Jizhou people; The Luyang coalition army is the people of Jingzhou.

The year 190 A.D. was destined to be a year of unrest.

When Dong Zhuo learned about the situation in various places, he completely fell into madness.

In February, Dong Zhuo put forward a proposal to move the capital to Chang'an, but the important ministers of the court and the central government opposed it one after another.

Dong Zhuo was furious, the three princes and nine ministers of the DPRK and the Central Committee were implicated, and many ministers were either dismissed or killed.

In March, Liu Xie stayed in Chang'an Weiyang Palace, and Dong Zhuo personally led the army out of the customs to fight against the Kwantung Alliance.

However, because of Li Hao's forcible intervention, although Dong Zhuo still proposed a plan to move the capital to Chang'an, he did not forcibly drive out the people of Luoyang and burn the Luoyang Palace.

It is also because of this incident that Li Hao's reputation in Sili has reached an unprecedented peak.

After all, Dong Zhuo is already like a crazy tiger, even if Li Ru and other henchmen can't persuade him. Li Hao's ability to dissuade Dong Zhuo from interfering with the people of Luoyang is simply an incredible miracle in the eyes of the government and the opposition.

After this incident, the Chinese military forces of the DPRK began to face up to Li Hao's strength.

After the Taifu Yuan Kui and the servant Yuan Ji were exterminated by Dong Zhuo, more than a dozen important ministers were implicated and imprisoned. With the vacancy of many positions, Li Hao was then promoted by Dong Zhuo from the court lieutenant to the court lieutenant, one of the nine kings.

After this incident, Li Hao became a hot figure in Luoyang City.

The royalists wanted to take refuge in him to save their lives, and Dong Zhuo's party wanted to go one step further in his refuge.

For a time, Li Hao's mansion was full of people, and many Chinese martial artists expressed their admiration for the new court captain, including many big figures at the level of the three princes and nine qing.

As for the enthusiasm for the Chinese martial arts of the DPRK, Li Hao did not show too closeness.

While promoting his old department, he looked for disciples of the poor family and the small family who were worth cultivating, and from time to time he rescued some celebrities from Dong Zhuo, such as General Zuo Huangfu Song, Xun You and other famous people through the ages.

Among them, Xun Yu was most valued by Li Hao, and was appointed as the court lieutenant to assist him.

At the end of May, just when Li Hao was sitting and watching the chaos in the world, silently accumulating strength and waiting to come to the stage, he got an extremely unexpected news.

Dong Zhuo has been hit hard, and the situation is dangerous!

The weather in the fifth month of the lunar calendar is unbearably hot, and the endless hissing is even more irritating.

Li Hao looked at his subordinates in front of him in astonishment, and he couldn't react.

But I saw that the man was tall, with an ordinary complexion, and he did not smile.

He was clearly standing in the middle of the study, but people couldn't help but ignore him.

This person's name is Tu Kou, and he was a famous ranger in Luoyang.

He came to serve when Li Hao first expanded the division and lieutenant department, and now he has become the leader of Li Hao's secret agent department.

Li Hao said in a condensed voice: "You said that Dong Zhuo is critically ill? ”

Tu Kou said: "Although there is no definite evidence for the time being, it should not be wrong."

As far as the lower officials knew, Dong Zhuo had not appeared in front of people for nearly half a month, and all orders were conveyed by Li Ru on his behalf.

With Dong Zhuo's arrogant and domineering personality, as well as the current tense situation, this performance is obviously abnormal.

And a month ago, a doctor said that Dong Zhuo's old illness had relapsed, but the specific situation was not clear. Soon after, the healer never left the Xiangguo Mansion again. ”

Li Hao's brows were tightly locked, and his heart was full of astonishment and doubt.

There is no record of Dong Zhuo's recurrence of old illness in history, is this because Dong Zhuo survived, or has history changed dramatically?

Until this time, Li Hao still did not realize the seriousness of the problem, and underestimated Dong Zhuo's current condition.

Xiangguo Mansion, backyard.

"Wenyou, ahem, what time is it now." Dong Zhuo was lying on the bed, although it was a hot summer day, he was wrapped in several layers of quilts.

Li Ru hurriedly stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Back to the prime minister, it's already noon." ”

Dong Zhuo took a deep breath, opened his eyes weakly, and sighed, "It's already noon." ”

Li Ru stood aside without speaking, and the worry in his eyes became more and more intense.

In March, Dong Zhuo personally led a large army to attack Yingchuan with the intention of intimidating the Kwantung princes, but he did not want to be shot in the shoulder by a stray arrow from nowhere.

At the beginning, he was fine, but who knew that since the weather was getting hotter, Dong Zhuo's injury suddenly deteriorated.

Now his body is getting worse and worse, and he is bedridden and in a coma most of the time.

Li Ru didn't know how long Dong Zhuo could hold out, and how long could he hide this matter from the courtiers and front-line generals.

Li Ru didn't dare to imagine how bad the situation would be if Dong Zhuo died of illness at this time.

The front-line army collapsed, the soldiers rebelled one after another, and the Luoyang courtiers attacked!

Dong Zhuo seemed to mutter, and seemed to ask: "After I die, who can protect the Dong family, shelter Er, etc." ”

Li Ru's body trembled, and his head hung lower.

"Wen You, if you are in a high position, can you have confidence?"

Before Dong Zhuo finished speaking, Li Ru panicked and said, "Wen You is incompetent, and he doesn't dare to steal a high position." ”

Li Ru smiled bitterly in his heart, Dong Zhuo was there.

With Dong Zhuo's henchmen and the relationship between his in-laws, he can also deter the arrogant generals of the Xiliang Army. Once Dong Zhuo died, he didn't have the confidence to deter Li Dao and other arrogant generals, let alone the current situation was so crisis.

Dong Zhuo seemed to have guessed Li Ru's answer, and did not show obvious disappointment or other emotions.

He was silent for a few seconds, and suddenly said, "What do you think, how about Zhijie?" ”

Li Ru couldn't help but look at Dong Zhuo in shock when he heard Dong Zhuo suddenly mention Li Hao.

"Zhijie, this person is ambitious, and he is the same kind of person as Benxiangguo. Ahem, the most important thing is that he has the ability and ability to protect my Dong family and protect you through this disaster. ”

Li Ru muttered with his lips and pondered for a moment, feeling that Dong Zhuo's words were not unreasonable.

It is impossible to surrender to the Kwantung princes, just by virtue of his identity as Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, once he surrenders, let alone keep the current glory and wealth, I am afraid that even his life will be lost.

But if you don't want to surrender to the Kwantung princes, you can only choose to fight to the end.

When Dong Zhuo was there, there was Dong Zhuo as the backbone, whether it was Li Dao and other generals of the Xiliang Army, or the ministers who were dissatisfied with Dong Zhuo in the DPRK, they did not dare to act recklessly.

But if Dong Zhuo dies, who can deter these people?

Li Dao and Guo Bi are brave and unscrupulous, Lu Bu is not much better than them, and the most important thing is that Lu Bu has a great contradiction with Li Dao and others, and no matter who ascends to a high position, there may be internal splits.

Moreover, Lu Bu did not have the prestige to intimidate the ministers.

After all the calculations, it seems that only Li Hao barely has this ability and prestige.

Li Ru pondered and said carefully: "Lu Hao is cautious and cautious, and he is with Xiangguo..."

When Li Ru said this, he didn't dare to continue, for fear of stimulating Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo's eyes drooped slightly, and he sighed: "It is precisely because he is an ambitious and intelligent person that he will make the right choice." ”

As soon as Li Ru thought about it, he understood what Dong Zhuo meant.

Dong Zhuo's death was a catastrophe for the Xiliang army. But for Li Hao, it is not a big trouble.

This means that he either chooses to cooperate with the Western Liang Army, or chooses the Kwantung Alliance to face the Kwantung Alliance alone after cleaning up the Western Liang Army.

Or, choose to face the Western Liang rebels who cooperate with the Kwantung Alliance!

"Go ahead, call Zhijie." Dong Zhuo said weakly.

Li Ru came back to his senses and responded bitterly, without hesitation.

He walked out of the room, looked at the gloomy sky and gray clouds, and sighed silently.

Will the future be as cloudy as the weather?
