With Luo Kong's clear refusal, the atmosphere between the four of them suddenly froze.

Dong Zhuo was envious, and a trace of strong dissatisfaction rose, he and Li Ru glanced at each other, and they both saw the resoluteness in each other's eyes.

The crown prince's argument must be obtained, and Luo's must be excluded.

As long as he governs with Luo, the final outcome will be to be set aside.

Tens of thousands of Xiliang iron riders have only come to this point for more than ten years, not to make a wedding dress for Luo's.

Dong Zhuo's voice was cold: "Zi Minggong, what you mean in what you said just now is that you are unwilling to obey Your Majesty's will, but to disobey the emperor's order?" ”

Luo Kong looked directly at Dong Zhuo, still those eight words, "This chaotic life, I don't obey the edict!" ”

"Good!"

Dong Zhuo laughed angrily, and said coldly: "There are people like you Luo in the world, don't you still think it's the Han Dynasty?"

People in the world respect you, so you have an outstanding reputation, but if it is really a sword soldier, what is Luo's? ”

Seeing Dong Zhuo tearing his face directly, Li Ru continued his words and said: "Zi Minggong, I once looked at the general trend of the world, and I have some words about Luo's family, please listen to them carefully."

When the Han Dynasty was founded, the ancestors of the Luo clan were extremely capable, whether it was the court or the locality, the power was extremely huge, and they were even known as Luo and Liu, sharing the world.

Ordinary people may still be immersed in prestige, but I will never give up on the investigation of the truth because of these false names.

There are only tens of thousands of people in the Luo clan in Zhaocheng, excluding the old and weak women and children, it is the so-called Luo clan warriors, but there are only thousands.

Even though it is invincible in the world, it is manpower after all, and my 10,000 or 20,000 Xiliang iron riders are enough to resist it.

The Zhaocheng Luo clan is the head of the scholarly family, and it is above many scholars.

However, the Luo clan does not draw on power like other scholarly families, and even the number of protégés and former officials is not as good as that of the Runan Yuan clan, which has emerged in just a few decades.

In the past, as soon as the Luo clan raised its arms in the Kanto region, the princes Li Shu responded en masse, and even suffered the second time, which was the point that the Luo clan feared the most.

But a hundred years later, how many of Luo's allies are still there?

The so-called five surnames, Xiao Zhang has his own thoughts, Han Lu gradually declined, Changping Hou Wei has long been removed, Bowang Hou Huo, the champion Hou Huo's heirs are not good, but they are second-rate.

The princes have declined, and although the Shi clan in the world respects the Luo clan as the leader, don't you understand the secret thoughts?

As for Li Shu in the world, there is nowhere to speak in this world, let alone Li Shu?

The Li Shu of the world obeys the scholars of the state and county, and the small follows the heroes of the county.

Or just like that Zhang Jiao, but as Ziming Gongling said before, Zhang Jiao, the Taiping army that connects Li Shu, I am afraid that it will soon be strong.

Besides, it is impossible for Zhang Jiao to walk with Luoche.

Where can Luo's control the Li Shu of the states and counties in the world?

The world is chaotic and difficult to operate, and even the silk barrier, Liangzhou is not as prosperous as in the past.

The powerful clans of the states and counties in the world have strengthened their local commerce, and although the Luo clan can pass through the world, they are still slightly ostracized.

Zhaocheng values commerce and supports the country with business, and after these blows, will its strength not decline?

Luo's has neither internal strength nor foreign aid, and has long been a strong external and middle-class cadre, and it is no longer the glory of the past.

Why do you still look like you're not worried about us doing anything to you?

Why don't you want to talk to us with the amiable ones? ”

Jia Xu couldn't help frowning when he heard Li Ru's words, of course he could hear the flaws in Li Ru's words, but on the whole, there was no problem.

Luo Kong laughed softly when he heard this: "The Wushuang Marquis is a branch of Zhaocheng, and it would be a big mistake for you to regard Zhaocheng as an imaginary enemy."

And you have analyzed so much before, I just ask, is your Xiliang the opponent of Zhaocheng? ”

The question of this last sentence made Dong Zhuo a little blocked in his heart, he and Li Ru knew very well that if Zhaocheng went all out, even if it was accumulated for more than ten years, I am afraid it would be a failure.

Li Ruyin smiled and said, "Isn't it a good thing to lose both?" For example, if Zhang Jiao is the strongest today, if Zhang Jiao swings his troops to the east, will Luo's still be able to resist?

With just those thousands of daring soldiers, can they withstand the elite of the Taiping Army? Can you withstand the invincible Zhang Jiao?

What Zi Minggong said just now about the infinite scarcity of children and grandchildren, Confucianism felt very reasonable, and he was unwilling to meet Zi Minggong, and asked Zi Minggong to back down. ”

The meaning of Li Ru's words is obvious, the current Luo family is no longer the family that can occupy half of the world by itself, and it should be low-key.

Why do you have to fight us at this time?

Luo Kong laughed in a low voice, and then said while laughing: "Dong Zhongying, Li Wenwei, you really don't know Luo's yet.

Back then, the Bang Zhou family paid countless sacrifices, and even the final fall of the Luo Kingdom, but they never regretted it.

In the early Han Dynasty, the family was too strong, and that kind of power even far exceeded that of the Bang Zhou period, and even the head of the family died.

You know about political families, but you don't know what it means to be called Rock.

Now, you have asked me to give up the prince's argument with a word, is it the prince's argument that I am conceding?

It's what I've been sticking to for thousands of years.

I am a Hanchen when I am alive now, and I will still be a Hanchen when I die in the future, and I will be a Hanchen all my life.

I can accuse the emperor and even scold him angrily, but you remember that anyone who wants to trample on the Han family will have to step on my corpse. ”

Even if it's a brother!

A trace of confusion flashed in Luo Kong's eyes, he didn't understand why his brother would choose to overthrow the Han family, overthrowing the Han family would kill him, and his brother would never kill him, this paradox made him confused all the time, and he didn't know what his brother wanted to do.

Hanchen!

As soon as these two words came out, Dong Zhuo and Li Ru knew that this matter could not be good, Dong Zhuo snorted coldly, got up and left, Li Ru sighed slightly and said: "Zi Minggong, you are too stupid and loyal." ”

Luo Kong and Jia Xu got up, and Jia Xu comforted: "Lord, don't listen to what Wen You said, Luo's loyalty is the foundation of existence, benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom and faith, only by abiding by these, Luo's can always be transcendent at the head of the world." ”

Luo Kong didn't speak, but turned his head and said, "Wenhe, don't stay here.

You take Cai Yan, the guards, the female officer, and the three hundred Luo's elite horsemen, and go to Zhaocheng from here, take the road to Hebei, and I have twenty guards with relatively high strength to protect you along the way. ”

Twenty guards with relatively high strength are spirit soldiers, Luokong guards the Western Regions, and the family has always equipped him with life-saving things.

Jia Xu never expected that Luokong would let him go directly, although entering Zhaocheng was what he had been pursuing, but it was like this......

Luo pressed Jia Xu's shoulder with his empty hand, and said in a deep voice: "Wenhe, you are now Luo's person.

Just now Li Ru said that the strength of the family has become weaker, which is both accurate and inaccurate.

The family has indeed become much weaker.

But as long as you are willing to pay the price, you can be strong, at least in troubled times, you can protect yourself.

But if the family wants to be strong, it still has to rely on you talents.

You are a very smart person, there will not be many people like you in the world, and if you join the family, the fist that the family will stretch out will be harder.

Now that you've come to this point, staying with me is just a futile drain of your talents, go to Zhaocheng.

You must pay attention to Cai Yan's safety, she is a strange woman, and when she comes to the family in the future, her status will be very high, and she will even marry Luo's son directly.

If you protect her along the way, things will be smoother in the future. ”

Jia Xu didn't understand some words, such as being strong as long as he was willing to pay the price, this sentence was incomprehensible, but there were some guesses.

Luo Kong's words sounded like he was explaining the aftermath, and people like Jia Xu, who listened to it with a strong heart, couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.

He placed the feather fan in front of his face, and then asked in a deep voice, "My lord."

Please also leave a useful body, Wen You is an extremely intelligent person, he absolutely does not want to kill you, he just wants to strip power from you. ”

Luo Kong smiled indifferently, "Life and death are indifferent, and sticking to the Tao in your heart is the most important, okay, get out of here quickly, in case the melee starts again, if you want to go, you will have to pay more sacrifices." ”

With a decision in his heart, Jia Xu was not the kind of person who dragged mud and water, so he immediately took Cai Yan out of here.

Cai Yan still has a good impression of Jia Xu, an uncle who has always been kind, she is a very smart woman, knowing that the uncle who fled with her may die, she waved goodbye with tears in her eyes.

Jia Xu's departure, Li Ru naturally knew.

But seeing that the crown prince and the prince were still in the army, he turned a blind eye to his friends and forgot it.

Seeing Cai Yan leaving, compared to the silent Liu Wei and the more naïve Tang Ji, the smarter Liu Xie felt a huge uneasiness, and he couldn't help asking: "Wushuang Hou, is it Dong Zhuo in front?" Does he want you to hand us over to him? ”

Luo Kong nodded and said, "Exactly." ”

Liu Xie sighed slightly, sure enough, he said solemnly: "Please also cheer up." ”

Wushuang Hou's attitude has always been very good, Liu Xie thinks that this is very good, if he really wants to choose a person to control him, he still chooses Wushuang Hou Luokong.

Luo Kong arched his hand and said: "Your Highness, don't worry, even if the ministers are defeated, you and the crown prince will be fine for the time being, after all, Dong Zhuo is not the Taiping Army, his purpose is to hold the two hostage." ”

Liu Xie's pupils shrank, the word hijacking is used well, it's better not to say it, can you still live by being held hostage?

Isn't life and death in the hands of others at any time?

As all the female officials left, Tang Ji suddenly cried, and Luo Kong hurriedly left Liu Xie and came to Tang Ji's carriage, where the little girl was curled up with a frightened look on her face.

Tang Ji's face was full of tears, looking at it was really pitiful, pitiful and pitiful made Luo Kong a little embarrassed, this little girl suffered a lot.

In the end, she is still a child, she looks too young, Luo Kong thought she was ten years old before, but when she asked, she found out that she was twelve years old.

Luo Kong said with a slightly kind smile on his face: "Don't be afraid, I will protect you." ”

Tang Ji's small body leaned over, and Luo Kong's body had a lingering smell of blood that could not be erased, but Tang Ji felt a burst of warmth, and he was not as scared as before.

Luo Kong looked at Tang Ji who was leaning on his arms, and couldn't help but think of Hou Guozhong's daughter, who must be a beauty when she grows up, even more beautiful than Tang Ji in front of her.

After Tang Ji leaned in for a while, and then fell into a deep sleep, Luo Kong put her in the carriage to rest, and he began to put on his armor and prepare for the coming war.

The situation between the Western Regions Army and the Western Liang Army became more and more tense, and Luo Kong didn't know when the Western Liang Army would suddenly attack.

Before the attack of the Xiliang army, Luo Kong told the generals that there was no need to fight to the death in this battle, and if they fell into a dead place and surrendered to Dong Zhuo, he would not blame them.

In particular, there are many soldiers from the Western Regions, who have traveled thousands of miles from the Western Regions to follow their King Qin, and the failure of King Qin is nothing, but in the end, it is quite uncomfortable to be damaged here because of internal friction.

Since you have come to the Central Plains, it is better to consume in the Western Regions, and the throne changes in the Western Regions are also very frequent.

Especially the two Zhuxia Kingdoms, if Luokong can't go back on time, I'm afraid that there will be a coup d'état in the country and oust the Liu family from the throne.

This battle is to tell Dong Zhuo that it is absolutely impossible to surrender without doing anything!

Dong Zhuo and Li Ru are not people who drag mud and water, "Although Wushuang Hou was born in the Luo family, who can a person represent?"

It's not the first time that Luo's son has died in a chaotic battle, and it's not an attack on Zhaocheng, so don't worry about anything else. ”

Li Ru shook his head and said: "Lord, the unequaled Hou Luokong has the heart to die, we will win this battle, and then let's see the fate that God gives him." ”

Li Ru was unwilling to kill Luo Kong, killing a Luo clan would not do him and Dong Zhuo any benefit, it was completely a negative effect, which naturally caused the dissatisfaction of the Luo clan in Zhaocheng.

But sometimes it is really not up to them to decide whether to kill Luo's son or not, and now they are worried that Luo Kong will seek death by himself, more than 10,000 people will fight against 60,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry, and it is an elite Xiliang Iron Cavalry, this is not a way to kill themselves.

As long as there is a chance, Luo Kong's life must be left behind, Li Ru made up his mind in his heart, as long as Luo Kong does not deliberately look for death, he will definitely find a chance to let Luo Kong live.

Find an opportunity to send Luokong back to Zhaocheng and don't let him get in the way.

————

Dong Zhuo is brutal, has a deep belly, wants to win the prince's debate, the prince's association, Wushuang rejected it with the community, Dong Zhuo is leading troops to attack it, Shi Zhuo's army is 60,000 cavalry, more than 10,000 unequaled troops, unequaled invincible, Dong Zhuo held the blade and asked: "The king's army is defeated, dare to try the blade with his neck?" ”

Wushuang smiled and said: "The neck is like a rock, you can try it." ”

Seeing that Wushuang was unyielding, Dong Zhuo was angry, but he drew his blade out of the sheath, filial piety and cowardice, and actually ran to Zhangye, supported Wushuang, and cried: "Wushuang is a loyal minister, the king is also a loyal minister, how can the two loyalists be killed, if the blade is made, kill me first." ”

Dong Zhuo was stunned, and then he had the heart to live. —— "The Book of the Later Han Dynasty: The Book of Filial Piety"
