Li Ru stood in front of the tent and looked at the rich night in a daze.

The moonlight was shining tonight, but it could not illuminate the gloom in his heart.

Once upon a time, he was high-spirited and confident about the future. This is because his plans have achieved the desired results without exception, and the future is open.

However, since then, he has been repeatedly frustrated, and every strategy will end in failure.

In the end, Li Ru came to the conclusion that both he and Dong Zhuo lost to Liu Bei in the end. It was from the beginning of his enemies that his plans could no longer work.

In a trance, he seemed to have seen his future, which was a scene of regret.

With a long sigh, he turned and walked into the tent, sat down on the table, and began to think about the future. Dong Zhuo is a tree he has cultivated, and even if the tree has decayed, he will do everything he can to bring it back to life.

Maybe the last hope comes from external forces, if we can manage to get Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and others to send troops again, and save Zhao by encircling Wei to renew Dong Zhuo's life.

Thinking of this, Li Ru prepared to write a letter to Cao Cao and others.

Well?

At that moment, he suddenly noticed something strange on the table.

As a strategist, Li Ru's insight is natural and meticulous, and he likes to tidy up the table on weekdays, so as long as someone touches it, he will subconsciously notice it.

Under the layers of books, there is a brocade book hidden, and the corner of the exposed book seems to be deliberately made to let people discover its existence.

Li Ru moved the bookcase and took out the brocade book.

"Brother Wenyou is like a ......"

This is a letter from Han Sui, the content of the letter is roughly some old words, but mixed with some different meanings, like some agreement will be realized after returning to Chang'an.

Li Ru guessed that this should be a letter sent today, because he did not find out about the existence of this letter last night.

However, he and Han Sui didn't know each other, why did the other party send this letter?

What exactly is the letter implying in it?

Perhaps, this letter was not sent by Han Sui at all, but in the name of Han Sui, to achieve an ulterior purpose.

At this time, Li Ru found that there seemed to be some residual corners of letters in the brazier under his feet, as if they had been accidentally left after being burned off most of them.

The comer is not good!

With Li Ru's intelligence, he quickly noticed something unusual, as if a conspiracy was coming at him all over the world.

"Can Wen You sleep?"

Dong Zhuo's voice came from outside the tent, and without waiting for Li Ru to respond, he strode into the tent, followed by Li Su.

Li Ru stared at the two of them for a long time, and then suddenly smiled.

The human and physical evidence is all together, and he has already realized that this is a "discordant plan" that came at him. If it was in the past, Dong Zhuo would never visit him at this time.

Dong Zhuo didn't notice Li Ru's suspicious expression, he came here to look for evidence. If it is confirmed that Li Ru has a rebellious heart, he will not spare it.

And if Li Su is found to be falsely accused, this person will also be killed.

Li Ru placed "Han Sui's letter" in the middle of the table, which was extremely conspicuous and could be seen at a glance.

Dong Zhuo was even more suspicious when he saw this, because the evidence that Li Su reported Li Ru to him was that he secretly colluded with Han Sui. To confirm this, he did not hesitate to pick up the letter and flip through it.

The more you read it, the easier it is for people to think about it, and Dong Zhuo's face becomes more and more ugly. On the other hand, Li Ru didn't say a word, but just looked at Li Su with deep meaning, and saw that the other party was stunned.

I don't know how long it took, Dong Zhuo held the letter and pointed to Li Ru, and said in a deep voice: "Wenyou, what do you explain?" ”

Li Ru retracted his gaze and said with a smile: "This is Liu Bei's divisive plan, does the lord think it is credible, or is Li Su credible?" ”

Li Su's position is not high, it can be said that he is not even qualified to follow behind Dong Zhuo. Now that it is abnormal, how could Li Ru not notice the abnormality?

There are many ways to justify, but Li Ru's choice is not wise, and it can even be said that he has picked a not good rhetoric.

That's human nature.

The success of the discord plan is due to the estrangement between the monarch and the minister, as well as the lack of trust. At this moment, Li Ru suddenly wanted to know if Dong Zhuo still trusted him!

If his years of assistance are not as good as the villain's slander, why should he waste any more effort to turn the tide?

Discrete meter?

Dong Zhuo couldn't help but be stunned when he heard Li Su's defense, it should have been conclusive evidence, but it was suddenly full of doubts.

"Don't you have anything to say?"

"I have a clear conscience, so why say more?"

Li Ru asked rhetorically.

From the point of view of a mastermind, such wayward behavior is not wise. But if you stand in a person's point of view, you have given everything but are suspected, which is undoubtedly very hurtful.

"Lord, don't believe this, maybe the military advisor saw that the matter was revealed and wanted to do the opposite." Li Su said.

Although Li Ru was furious in his heart, he still spoke hard. There is no turning back when he opens the bow, if he can't confirm the identity of Li Ru's traitor, he will definitely die!

Since you have chosen this path, you can only go one way to the dark.

After Dong Zhuo was reminded by him, he asked again: "Wen You, let's ask you, since you already knew Jia Xu's talent, why didn't you recommend it to us?" ”

This question comes from Li Su's half-motivated slander, but it is not all from him, to be precise, he is just a mouthpiece.

It was Guo Jia's strategy to use Jia Xu's matter to attack Li Ru, and he also jokingly asked Jia Xu's opinion at that time, but the latter readily agreed.

Now that each is his master, how can he take care of the old feelings?

Jia Xu also knows very well that if Li Ru is alive, many of their methods will be difficult to use, not to mention that this divisive trick is not only aimed at Li Ru.

In fact, Li Ru was indeed stumped by this trick.

He can't tell him directly, Jia Wenhe doesn't look down on you Dong Zhuo, and if you don't recommend it, you also have my own selfishness, so as to avoid being overshadowed by Jia Xu. Since he Jia Wenhe wants to keep his light and keep his eyes on it, then I will push the boat along the river and let him continue to hide.

"Jia Xu likes to hibernate and doesn't want to be famous in the world." After thinking about it, Li Ru gave this answer.

"Then why did he go to Liu Bei's command and no longer hibernate?" Dong Zhuo continued to ask.

This remark made it difficult for Li Ru to answer again, you can't say that you haven't been recognized by Jia Xu, right?

It is foreseeable that with Dong Zhuo's temperament, if he tells the truth, he will inevitably be annoyed and angry.

was about to answer, but he heard Li Su say: "Didn't the military advisor deliberately let Jia Wenhe throw himself to Liu Bei, so as to prepare a retreat for himself, right?" ”

"Oh? There is also a question below, what reward did Liu Bei promise to General Li? ”

At this point, Li Ru was already sure that Li Su must have defected, otherwise he would never want to put him to death so much.

Li Su's heart jumped, he didn't expect Li Ru to understand it so quickly, which caught him off guard.

He has indeed thrown himself into Liu Bei, and Li Ru's head is his name and promotion.

In addition, it is necessary to use Li Ru's death to stir up the relationship between Dong Zhuo and Han Sui, if these things can be done, the "marquis" promised by Liu Bei will be realized.

As for how he got in touch with Liu Bei, this has to mention his young friend, Lu Fengxian.

Things are always so wonderful, in his previous life, Lu Bu killed his father-in-law under the bewitchment of Li Su and threw himself into Ding Yuan. Now under the influence of Liu Bei and Guo Jia, it has become Lu Bu to bewitch him.

This may be the "reincarnation of the way of heaven"!

However, some people seem to have been born to eat this bowl of rice, although it was broken by Li Ru, Li Su quickly stabilized his thoughts and sneered: "The military advisor is seeing that the matter is exposed, and he wants to cause trouble?" ”

Li Ru sneered: "I don't know Han Sui, do you think this matter is credible?" ”

"This is not necessarily, maybe the military advisor and Han Sui have common interests. As far as I know, the military advisor had secretly sent his family out of Chang'an City a month ago, and it seemed that he had a plan. ”

Li Su hinted in and out of his words that Li Ru was trying to collude with Han Sui to defect and use Dong Zhuo's head as a gesture to throw himself into Liu Bei.

Li Ru was furious: "Li Su, you dare to touch my family!" ”

He knew that this was from Liu Bei's handwriting, either Li Su's person or the dormant Jinyi Guard.

Dong Zhuo's face was completely gloomy, he was already dissatisfied because of Li Ru's recent repeated misses, but now that the evidence was conclusive, his suppressed emotions broke out instantly: "Come on, take Li Ru down." ”

Li Ru was extremely disappointed in his heart, but he still persuaded: "Lord, you must not trust Li Su, if you turn against Han Sui, it will definitely be Liu Bei who will benefit." ”

"The matter has come to this point, you still dare to excuse him, take it down!"

As the saying goes, a word is against a deaf ear.

Dong Zhuo was originally dissatisfied with Han Sui's unexplained defeat, but now that he was provoked by Li Su, he became more and more suspicious that today's defeat was due to traitors inside.

Li Ru's bitter advice sounded to him an accomplice in defending.

After Li Ru was taken down by the soldiers, Dong Zhuo looked at Li Su again: "What you said is true?" ”

Because of repeated failures, the foundation of many years is gradually being eroded, and he now looks like a traitor.

Li Su said with a righteous face: "The last general is loyal to the lord, and the sun and the moon can be seen. Now that the evidence is conclusive, does the lord still think that the last general is framing Li Ru? ”

"If the last general guessed correctly, Han Sui has already secretly communicated with Liu Bei at this time, if we don't take precautions, I'm afraid we won't be able to return to Chang'an!"

Dong Zhuo stared at him for a long time, and suddenly smiled.

"You're right."

Maybe at this time, follow Dong Zhuo's mind to get his approval. It's not that Li Ru doesn't understand, but he can't do it.

The lips are dead and the teeth are cold, if Han Sui is pushed to Liu Bei, they will really have no chance at all.

Dong Zhuo immediately ordered: "Send someone to send a message to Ma Teng immediately, and ask him to closely monitor Han Sui's movements." As long as they collude, they will definitely leave clues. ”

"Yes, my lord."

Li Su smiled secretly, naturally there will be clues, because Prime Minister Liu Cheng will create it for him!

……

"Why did you choose to send the Prime Minister's letter to Han Sui instead of Li Ru?"

In the tent, the two figures sat opposite each other, boiling tea and discussing politics.

One of them is Guo Jia, and the other is Su Zhe, the person in charge of the secret agents of the Jinyi Guard, and this discord plan is laid out layer by layer through his hands.

Su Zhe has always had doubts in his heart, in his opinion, Li Ru is smarter and easier to see through their schemes, and the most important evidence of the crime should be placed on him.

Guo Jia smiled: "Because Dong Zhuo is a smart person." ”

Wise man?

Su Zhe was puzzled.

If they are wise, how can they fall for their divisive schemes?

Guo Jia didn't rush to explain, but suddenly asked, "What do you think Dong Zhuo is thinking at this time?" ”

Su Zhe thought for a moment and replied: "Now that the situation is becoming more and more unfavorable for him, he must be like a frightened bird, full of suspicions, which is also the reason why our discordant plan can be carried out. ”

"Yes, but that doesn't mean he doesn't trust Li Ru."

"Wouldn't that make his suspicions even more aggravated?"

"Aggravating his suspicion does not necessarily require more evidence, but gradually guiding him to make him suspect Li Ru, which is also a common problem of smart people."

Guo Jia continued: "If we put all the evidence in front of him, he will not believe it. But if he was allowed to verify it himself, he would conclude that Li Ru had betrayed him. ”

"Sometimes, there's a fine line between trust and suspicion. When he learns that someone he trusts has betrayed him, he becomes angry and makes the wrong decision. ”

Su Zhe was half-understood, so he asked, "Why does Feng Xiao speak so highly of Dong Zhuo?" ”

"Because he's worth it, do you think he'll stop there if it weren't for the lord?"

Guo Jia's tone was a little embarrassed.

He never despised any opponent, if it weren't for his intervention with Liu Bei, Dong Zhuo's first half of his life would have been smooth sailing, becoming the first prince in the world, and also the first person in the world to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes.

It's a pity that his ambition was later worn away by wine and died in the hands of Wang Yun. Otherwise, based on Guanzhong, after trying to annex Yizhou, there is also a chance to achieve the great cause of kingship.

It's a pity that history never favors the loser, and after losing, your shortcomings will be infinitely magnified. Once upon a time, Dong Zhuo was also a person from Corporal Lixian.

Su Zhe nodded, indeed, if it weren't for Liu Bei's birth, Dong Zhuo would have been able to directly control Luoyang and Guanzhong.

Guo Jia said again: "And compared to Dong Zhuo, Ma Teng is easier to provoke, because he and Han Sui already have a disagreement, and they must be convinced when they see the letter." ”

"Why?"

"Because Han Sui's department is the least casualty among the three soldiers and horses in today's battle."

Dong Zhuo faced Liu Bei's main force, and Ma Teng was ambushed by Xu Rong, both of whom suffered heavy casualties.

On the other hand, Han Sui was repelled by Huang Zhong because the general was beheaded, not defeated.

If there was no such divisive plan, Ma Teng would inevitably suspect that he was deliberately not working.

If you read the letter again, you will be even more suspicious of Han Sui's position.

"Fengxiao's control of human nature is really meticulous."

Especially women.

Su Zhe secretly added to himself.

……

Ma Teng Han Sui and Dong Zhuo's military camp were not far away, and Ma Teng soon received Dong Zhuo's letter. He was already suspicious of Han Sui's defeat today, and seeing the letter made his suspicions even worse.

"This old horseman dares to collude with Liu Bei, no wonder he was defeated so quickly today!"

Ma Chao already had a grudge against Han Sui, and when he learned about this, he was instantly furious, and instantly decided that Han Sui had different intentions.

"Meng Qi, don't make a conclusion easily!"
