Hearing Lu Bu's humiliation, Li Ru was short of breath, his face was red, his neck was thick, and he looked like he was about to duel with Lu Bu.

It's so humiliating.

You can question my vision, my character, my integrity, but how dare you question my talent?

It's tolerable, it's unbearable!

"You tell me how I got it wrong. If you don't give me a convincing reason. I...... Even if I die, I will splash your blood three feet. ”

Seeing that Li Ru was not convinced, Lu Bu snorted and said, "You advised Dong Zhuo to hold the Son of Heaven hostage and order the world, but don't forget that Dong Zhuo does not have enough civil officials to control the imperial court." Dong Zhuo can still only rely on the old civilian officials and rely on force to subdue him. Although Dong Zhuo held the Son of Heaven hostage, he did not control the court at all, and how many civil and military generals secretly communicated with the Yuan family and Cao Cao.

This is a big failure.

The second big failure is knowing that Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others are going to raise troops against Dong Zhuo, and you will not use the emperor's name to order others to attack Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, or divide and disintegrate them. There must be brave men under the so-called heavy reward. As long as the promised official positions and bounties are rich enough, they cannot be disintegrated without trust.

The third big failure is that you actually encouraged Dong Zhuo to move to Chang'an. Although Chang'an has three passes as a barrier, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but it is also easy for people to be unenterprising. As the saying goes, born in sorrow, die in peace. What's more, if you move to Chang'an, your control over Shandong will be weakened, which will only allow Yuan Shao and Cao Cao to take the opportunity to become bigger, and sooner or later they will be able to threaten Dong Zhuo. You know that yourself.

As for other small failures, I won't go into details. Do you still dare to say that you are talented and scheming? ”

Hearing Lu Bu's explanation, Li Ru wanted to refute it.

But the fact is that as Lu Bu said, Dong Zhuo is a little better in Luoyang, although he is lustful, but he is still restrained.

But when he arrived in Chang'an, he completely fell into the wine, only greedy for pleasure, and had no intention of making progress at all, and never thought of sending troops to annihilate the great enemies of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao. Let them occupy the five prefectures of Hebei, And, You, Qing, and Yan.

I tried to persuade him many times, but it was completely useless. I can't see any hope, so I won't be too lazy to care about the affairs of the court, so that Lu Bu and these people can get together.

Li Ru sighed, and the anger in his heart was extinguished.

He sat down again, picked up the jar and poured two sips into his mouth. "Since you think I'm useless. Why don't you just kill me, and keep me for what? What are your plans, what do you want from me? ”

Lu Bu also knelt in front of Li Ru again, still with his hands crossed and embraced.

"Isn't your ability to plan the world very good? But your ability to calculate people is still good. That's what I value about you. I want to form an intelligence organization that will collect intelligence information on my behalf from hostile forces and even other countries in the world, and at the same time be responsible for sabotage, assassination, and even incitement of hostile forces. ”

Lu Bu just wanted to set up a special intelligence organization like the CIA.

Jia Xu is also a good candidate, but Lu Bu doesn't want Jia Xu to have too much power.

This man is too calculating, and he seeks himself before others.

Lu Bu didn't dare to fully trust this person.

Of course, Li Ru is not completely trusted by Lu Bu.

Later, a special internal intelligence organization will be set up to check and balance Li Ru, and at the same time help him monitor hundreds of officials.

Of course, in order to prevent the indiscriminate use of lynchings like the East Factory and the West Factory in the future, Lu Bu will not give too much power to the internal intelligence organizations, only the power of investigation, and will not have the power of trial.

For this kind of internal intelligence organization, Lu Bu has to find a more trusted person to be in charge.

Hearing that Lu Bu was going to be in charge of an intelligence agency by himself, Li Ru was very surprised.

"Intelligence is very important, aren't you afraid that I will betray you at a critical moment?"

Lu Bu nodded and said, "Of course I'm afraid." But I really can't think of anyone else who would dare to use you now besides me? Or who can make good use of you and give you a chance to stand out. ”

Li Ru bowed his head slightly and fell into deep thought.

After a long while, he raised his head and said, "I want to see what kind of hegemony you Lu Bu can do, so that you dare to call yourself the First Emperor of the Ages." ”

Lu Bu understood that Li Ru had promised to submit to him, and he smiled with satisfaction. "People and money, I will transfer it to you as soon as possible. I hope you don't disappoint me. ”

Li Ru understood that Lu Bu still kept his hand.

People and money are in his hands, and if he has the heart of rebellion, he may not know which of his subordinates will denounce him, or even kill him directly.

Li Ru just nodded, picked up the wine jar and continued to drink.

Lu Bu got up and left.

Back at Wenhou Mansion, Lu Lingqi saw her father coming back and ran over.

But as soon as he ran closer, he smelled the smell of wine on Lu Bu's body, and immediately pinched his nose. "Daddy, you're drinking again."

Lu Bu grabbed his daughter with a smile and rubbed Lu Lingqi's little face with his face.

Lu Lingqi pushed Lu Bu away with her little hand and said disgustedly: "Daddy stinks to death!" ”

Lu Bu laughed and put his daughter down.

Lu Ling Qifei also ran away and ran towards her mother Yan Xin.

She complained, "Daddy is necrotic." ”

Yan Xin touched Lu Lingqi's head with a smile and said to her maid, "Take her to take a bath first." ”

"Yes. Madam! ”

When Lu Lingqi was hugged by the maid, she still stuck out her tongue at Lu Bu and grimaced.

Lu Bu reached out and pinched her face.

After Lu Lingqi went down, Yan Xin asked, "Husband, do you want to prepare soup?" ”

"Hmm!"

Soon, the house slaves brought several large buckets of hot water.

Soaking in a wooden barrel, Yan Xin took a maid to help Lu Bu wipe his back with a towel.

Lu Bu fought outside for many days, running around day after day, and had no fixed place to live, not to mention often sleeping in the open air.

It is impossible to describe the hardships of the process.

Lying in the hot water, as soon as I relaxed, I couldn't hold back the sleepiness anymore.

The eyelids fought for several rounds, and Lu Bu fell asleep directly in the barrel.

Yan Xin was not surprised by her husband's behavior.

Continue to wipe his back, wash it and dry it.

With a few maids, he was sent to bed to rest.

This time, Lu Bu slept, but he didn't get up until three o'clock in the morning.

After a good night's sleep, Lu Bu got up and stretched.

Yawn and wash your face with cold water to sober yourself up.

After breakfast, I came to the Taishi Mansion under the escort of the guards.

It was the original Dong Zhuo's mansion, and now it is used by Lu Bu as an office location.

There is a large hall in the Taishi Mansion, which can be used by hundreds of officials of the imperial court to come to his house to discuss state affairs. In addition to this, there is also a large study room with a large collection of pictures and texts.

There are documents such as maps, household registers, and archives of the Han Dynasty.

Dong Zhuo used to rely on these to be in charge of the big man, and now it is just convenient for Lu Bu.

He sat on a wooden couch in the middle hall, holding bamboo scrolls, silk cloth and other documents to look through.

In the future, Jing Zhaoyin will be his own territory, and Lu Bu wants to understand what the situation is in his jurisdiction.
