The letter is not long.

It can even be said that the content is very short compared to the letters exchanged in the past.

The two looked down carefully.

Words suddenly jumped into my mind.

"Brother Fengxian, Brother Wenyou personally opened, on the day the letter was delivered, the troops and horses under my command have been mobilized, and the army under his command will be dispatched to Chang'an immediately, and I will go all out to enter the Guanzhong area, and I hope that the two of you will prepare early."

Just such a piece of news.

Lu Bu and Li Ru raised their heads again, and after glancing at each other, they both saw the excitement and excitement in each other's eyes.

Now that Cao Ang has already mobilized his troops and is ready to go.

It won't take long to arrive.

And with the current situation in Chang'an City, the erosion of the Xiliang Army, and then thinking of the strength of the Cao Army, you can guess with your toes what the final result will be.

Therefore, Cao Ang's actions also mean that the two of them will not be in Chang'an for too long.

How does this not excite them?

And after this short period of time.

An additional two lines of short text are attached.

"Dong thief is a very evil person, infamous, corrupted in the world, and although depressed, but the residual power is still there, in order to avoid extraneous branches, I hope that before I arrive in Chang'an, the two have taken their lives!"

"The Son of Heaven of Chang'an is the puppet of the Dong thief, and he is not a good person, he can save his life, but he cannot be returned to the Central Plains, and I hope that the two of them will work together to let the Son of Heaven of Chang'an disappear and go away!"

That's it for two short paragraphs.

Suddenly made the two of them change color.

It's really too terrifying to mention the above, and it is to ask the two of them to kill Dong Zhuo, and to ensure that the Son of Heaven of Chang'an cannot return to the Central Plains.

Such a task is not only difficult, but also dangerous, which naturally frightens Lu Bu and the others.

…………

To be cautious.

The two of them took the letter again and read it silently several times from beginning to end, after making sure that there were no omissions or misreadings of the words and information.

It was placed on the table.

A long silence ensued.

After a long time like this, Li Rucai silently moved the candle flame on the side, and then under the witness of Wu An, the letter was burned on the fire, leaving only a little black ash on the table.

After confirming that there is no residue.

Wu An immediately bowed to the two and said goodbye.

After all, he is only the intelligence leader here, responsible for the exchange of news, and other decision-making suggestions, and has nothing to do with him, so naturally he will not say more.

After waiting for them to leave.

Lu Bu silently stepped forward to close the door, and then the two of them discussed carefully in the dim light of a candle.

…………

"Brother Wenyou, the task is arduous!"

"Dong Zhuo's old thief is hiding in the dock, his lair can be described as heavily guarded, and there are a large number of soldiers guarding inside and outside, how can you and I easily attack it."

"Even if we use the identities of the two of us to enter the Wuwu and kill Dong Thief, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get out of the whole body, this is not the best policy!"

Listening to Lu Bu's complaining voice.

Li Ru couldn't help frowning.

How could he not know the difficulties and dangers?

Just like the letter said, although Dong Zhuo is now rotten and lying down, he still has a lot of power, and he himself is still very deterrent.

At the very least, the group of soldiers guarding in Hewu were very obedient to his command, and there was no possibility of buying or defecting, and if they wanted to kill Dong Zhuo, they could only kill him.

But the problem is that the two of them took on the task in order to find a way back for themselves and a rich and prosperous future life.

If you put your life in order to complete the mission.

But it's a hundred, there is nothing, no matter how successful the task is, no matter how high the evaluation Cao Ang gets, it is all in vain.

It's nothing more than a decorated corpse.

on this.

Li Ru is clear, and it can't be clearer.

But after hesitating for a while, he still shook his head and said to Lu Bu.

"General Lu, although the task is arduous at the moment, you and I have to do it, this is the last chance we can grasp before Chang'an City is broken and Dong Zhuo is executed!"

"Once you miss the opportunity to make a contribution and wash away the evil deeds of the past, then even if we have General Cao as a guarantee at that time, I am afraid it will be difficult to end up in a stable and stable situation, let alone continue to have official positions and status, enjoy glory and wealth, and bless our descendants!"

…………

When he said this, Lu Bu also felt a headache.

Although he is a martial artist and does not possess the superb wisdom of a strategist like Li Ru, if he wants to figure out people's hearts and choose the best, Lu Bu is not weaker than anyone else.

At least he can perceive it keenly.

Li Ru didn't say a word just yet.

Those are the two tasks given by Cao Ang, which are actually equivalent to a test for the two of them.

If nothing can be done, then no matter what kind of agreement there was in the past, and how they called themselves brothers, they pride themselves on being close.

His value in Cao Ang's heart will plummet, and a person who can't prove his worth is qualified to be a brother and sister to a prince?

Do you have the right to be entrusted with an important task?

No!

This is a fairly real problem.

Therefore, Lu Bu has also reacted now, and the two tasks assigned to the two of them by Cao Angxin must be completed as properly as possible.

Otherwise, the best outcome is to retire to the countryside, or become a sesame petty official, or be put on the shelf.

If you want to achieve fame and continue to have a great future, you can only lie on the couch and dream.

Think about it here.

Lu Bu immediately asked Li Ru a little nervously: "Brother Wenyou, it is impossible to kill Dong Zhuo with your life, we can't do this." ”

"But if you want to ignore this matter, then I'm afraid the future is worrying, so I don't know if in your opinion, what is the best way to complete the important task and make the two of us retreat?"

…………

The next half cup of tea time.

It was quite in the whole house.

Li Ru had been frowning and meditating, and the beard on his chin had been cut off several times, while Lu Bu had been silent, sometimes staring at Li Ru, sometimes looking at the floor, not knowing what he was thinking.

After a long time.

Li Ru's slightly feminine and cold voice suddenly sounded in Lu Bu's ears, which lifted his whole spirit, and his eyes suddenly turned around.

"General Lu, I have come up with a way to do it, but before I say it, I hope you can answer me a question truthfully."

"If you are asked to kill Dong Zhuo by yourself, I have a way to ensure that the two of us can get out of the way afterwards, can you do it?"

Originally, I thought it was a big problem for Lu Bu.

I heard that at this moment.

His face quickly showed a look of disdain, and without saying a word, he patted his chest, showed great confidence, and said impassionedly.

"Dong Thief, the old man, when he recruited me from Ding Jianyang, he was talking about high-ranking officials and meritorious achievements, countless mountains of gold and money, endless scenery and glory."

"What do I get at the end of the day?"

"It's nothing more than an empty name, although everyone thinks that I am the general under Dong Thief, but in fact, the troops under my control are not even as good as a second-rate Xiliang general under him, I am just an idler who has been shelved, not to mention any Jinshan Qianshan, I haven't seen the slightest shadow."

The more Lu Bu spoke, the more excited he became.

It was as if years of resentment had erupted at this moment, rushing into his mind, making his whole face flush and his face full of resentment.

"The war in the Central Plains is in full swing, it is the time for my generation to show his strength, and this old thief is in a corner of peace, greedy for pleasure, and does not think of any progress, with such a person, will not lose the prestige of my Lu Bu I?"

"Brother Wenyou, I'll tell you the truth, just a thief, don't say that if I cut his head, I will eat its flesh and sleep on its skin, and I will do anything!"

…………

Li Ru's facial muscles twitched violently.

immediately silently praised Lu Bu in his heart.

is worthy of Lu Bulu Fengxian, when he talks about this kind of thing, he has no psychological burden at all, and he doesn't know how his monstrous resentment like a sea of grievances has accumulated.

But it's none of Li Ru's business.

The more hatred Lu Bu expressed, the more helpful it would be for the next plan.

So after his voice fell.

Li Ru immediately revealed his plan.

"General Lu can have this heart, that's the best, although I have full authority to deal with all the big and small government affairs in Chang'an City, but after all, the military power is not in my hands, which is also the reason why you and I can't protect the future."

"The two of us are not assassins, and we can't kill us with one blow, even if we are thousands of miles away, so in my opinion, the best way is to eliminate the enemy."

"On the one hand, reduce the troops around Dong Zhuo, and on the other hand, increase the soldiers and horses we have on hand, we don't need to do too much, as long as we can protect ourselves for a while, then we can protect ourselves for a lifetime!"

Listening to Li Ru's plan.

Lu Bu nodded while putting forward his thoughts, he pointed to the direction where Yiwu was, and said to Li Ru thoughtfully.

"The Wuwu was built by Dong Zhuo with a lot of manpower, whether it is to attack from the outside or break out after killing Dong Zhuo, it is by no means easy, and it contains a large number of troops."

"Therefore, we might as well lure Dong Zhuo out of the Wuwu under the pretense of a name, as long as he leaves that fortress, the entourage will definitely be reduced, and the difficulty of killing him will be doubled by then!"

"I don't know if that's okay?"

…………

Li Ru's extremely cold face showed a somewhat strange smile.

Then he shook his head and approved.

"General Lu is really extraordinary, and he lured Dong Zhuo out of Yiwu under the pretense of a name, this is indeed a good strategy, as for what kind of name to use, I will find a way to forge an edict."

"After reducing Dong Zhuo's troops, what needs to be considered is to increase our strength, I wonder how many troops and horses General Lu can mobilize at present?"

This question silenced Lu Bu.

That's what he's missing, and it's this thing that's what he's complaining about, after a few breaths of silence.

Lu Bu still replied truthfully with a helpless face: "I can only mobilize my headquarters troops and horses at the moment, and a considerable part of them are still stationed outside the city, counting this part, there are only more than a thousand people." ”

A legendary general with a reputation outside the world.

There are only more than 1,000 people under his hands.

It can be seen how miserable Lu Bu was pressed by Dong Zhuo.

In front of the headquarters of the Xiliang Army, the foreign generals were so pitiful and depressed.

And Li Ru sighed secretly in his heart.

He could only say to Lu Bu with a wry smile: "Hundreds of people, unless everyone is wearing armor and holding elite weapons, there is no deterrent, and it is not enough to suppress the restless hearts of Dong Zhuo after his death." ”

"So we can't do it on our own, I'm afraid we can't do it, there are two ways to go, one is to find a way to expand our forces, and the other is what I think is a more feasible way, that is, to bring in help!"

…………

As soon as this statement came out.

Lu Bu was stunned for a moment.

But he soon came to his senses.

blurted out: "The helper that Brother Wen You said is not the generals of several other factions in the army?" ”

Li Ru smiled and nodded happily.

Although he is not in charge of the military, he is in charge of the affairs of the Chang'an court, and at least he has some understanding of the situation in the army.

Therefore, he sorted out the veins very clearly, and raised his fingers to elaborate.

"Now the army of Gongwei inside and outside Chang'an City is composed of three parts, one is Dong Zhuo's own lineage, that is, the soldiers and horses of the Xiliang Army Headquarters."

"The other is the Northern Army that was originally incorporated in Luoyang City, and the other is the idle troops that followed Ding Yuan to oppose Dong Zhuo at first, but were later defeated and surrendered, which are roughly these three parts."

"Although the Xiliang Army Headquarters is fluctuating, after all, the shelf is still here, and it will definitely not be something that you and I can easily pry into for a while, so I don't think about it."

"But we can start with the Northern Army and other stragglers, especially the Northern Army, as long as we can say that important people in the army can join our ranks, the situation will be in the palm of our hands in an instant!"

Lu Bu bowed slightly when he heard this.

While squinting his eyes slightly, his mind was also racing rapidly, and when his thoughts were flying, he racked his brains to think about the available characters.

Half a day later.

Lu Bu's eyes widened.

In his eyes like copper bells, a burst of light burst out, and at the same time, his right hand clenched into a fist and struck in the palm of his hand.

"There it is!"

"I think of a person whose prestige in the army is incomparable to that of ordinary people, and if we can move him to help us, we will definitely succeed in great things!"

…………

"What General Lu said, why do you allow people?"

Lu Bu did not answer immediately.

Instead, he stood up with a thud.

After pacing left and right in place for several laps, Fang only stared at Li Ru with blazing eyes, and at the same time lowered his voice, but said in a resolute tone.

"General Huang Fu Song Huang Fu will definitely be competent!"

The voice fell.

Li Ru couldn't help but raise his head, met Lu Bu's gaze, and immediately withdrew his gaze.

But soon, Li Ru asked with a little hesitation: "I know that Huang Fusong is indeed a well-known figure all over the world, but can he still mobilize soldiers and horses in the army now?" ”

"And will he help us?"
