Since the Chang'an incident that year, Li Ru knew very well what kind of turmoil would be caused if the Han Emperor died in the palace. Li Jue and Guo Si nominally avenged Dong Zhuo, but in fact they were for their own interests.

The location of Chang'an is very important. Although the city has been in disrepair for a long time, it can still be said to have a high city and a deep pool. Liangzhou is even more barren than Bingzhou, but occupying the third auxiliary land is very different. As long as you stick to the pass, you can

It can prevent the invading princes from advancing even an inch. When Dong Zhuo kidnapped the emperor to Chang'an, it was not that the princes did not want to pursue him, but the checkpoints around Chang'an were very dangerous. In addition, Dong Zhuo had the support of Liangzhou behind him, and he was in Luoyang.

It was completely different at that time. Even if the armies of the princes chased him, they would not get any benefits.

After the death of the Han Emperor, Li Ru knew that someone would definitely come forward to blame him, and the blamers were most likely him and Niu Fu. So after burning down the palace, Li Ru persuaded Niu Fu to leave Chang'an overnight.

He returned to Liangzhou and secretly controlled the aristocratic family to control Beidi County.

At the beginning, Dong Zhuo's influence in Beidi County was very small, so Li Ru and Niu Fu had a very difficult time in these years. The most elite flying bear army under Dong Zhuo was in the hands of Li Jue and Guo Si. When they first arrived in Beidi County,

Li Ru and Niu Fu only had 3,000 troops, and they were always worried about the incoming troops from all over Liangzhou.

It's not that Li Ru didn't want to return to Longxi, but that after Dong Zhuo's death, the Dong family in Longxi declined rapidly. Returning to Longxi would only become a target for local powerful people.

After occupying Beidi County, Li Ru ordered the officials of Beidi County to ask for surrender from Li Jue and Guo Si of Chang'an, and then lived in Beidi County like this.

It was very difficult to live in anonymity. Li Ru knew that once his information was leaked, it would definitely lead to attacks by troops from other counties. Even Liu Biao in Jingzhou would not let him go easily. Their crime was to kill him.

Emperor, this crime is to punish the nine tribes.

However, Liangzhou was not stable at this time. With Ma Teng, Han Sui, and the Qiang people, the situation was extremely chaotic. Especially during this period, Ma Teng secretly teamed up with Han Sui to prepare to attack Chang'an, which made Li Ru feel...

As the crisis approached, his identity seemed to be vaguely noticed by Li Jue, Guo Si and others, but it was just because of Ma Teng and Han Sui that they did not reveal it.

After all, Li Ru was a famous person around Dong Zhuo back then. Many people in Liangzhou recognized him. At this time, Li Ru wanted to seek refuge with a prince in order to continue to live. In troubled times, human lives are like nothing, but as long as he is

Everyone wants to survive, and Niu Fu is no exception. Although he is Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, the Dong family was killed long after Hua Xiong killed Dong Zhuo.

At this time, Li Ru set his sights on Lu Bu in Bingzhou. Lu Bu was a Marquis of Jin and a hussar general. The most important thing was that he felt the ambition from Lu Bu. In just a few years, he occupied Bingzhou, Youzhou, and the land east of Hanoi and Hedong.

, such a figure, once he rises to power, is very terrifying, especially the powerful combat power of the Bingzhou Army, which is no weaker than Dong Zhuo's command back then. After persuading Niu Fu, he planned to try his luck in Bingzhou. Of course, in

When the situation is unclear, he will not reveal his identity. Although Lu Bu has met Dong Zhuo, he has never met him.

He also saw Lu Bu's intention to capture Chang'an, and under Lu Bu's rule, there seemed to be no need to worry about the identity of the rebels. Officials in Bingzhou such as Jia Xu and Li Su were all under Dong Zhuo's command in the past, and they were still highly used in Bingzhou.

Even Lu Bu dared to take in the Yellow Turban Army, which everyone shouted to fight. Compared with other princes, he was more optimistic about joining Lu Bu. In such troubled times, if you want to survive, you must have enough strength in your hands, Li Ru

He is very confident in his own abilities. As long as he can win Lu Bu's trust, he will have the opportunity to show his talents. Like Ma Teng and Han Sui in Liangzhou, they can only rule a few counties and have no more than ten thousand troops. It is difficult for them to have a great victory.

act.

Status was the biggest reason why he wanted to choose Bingzhou, and Lu Bu's behavior also accounted for a large proportion. To his subordinates, Lu Bu gave people the impression of being a polite and virtuous corporal.

Apparently Lu Bu followed the army back to Bingzhou, but Li Ru judged from the movements in Hanoi that Lu Bu was still in Hanoi, and he only needed to wait at Huguan. The hospitality of the Huguan guard was beyond Li Ru's expectations.

Anticipate.

"Mr. Wen, the Marquis of Jin has invited you." Hou Cheng knocked on the door.

Li Ru looked shocked. Although he had expected it, he still felt uneasy when he was received by Lu Bu. His identity was too special. He was even more hated by the Han officials than the Yellow Turban Army, and Lu Bu's

Performance is often beyond ordinary people's expectations.

"Thank you, General." Li Ru said, cupping his hands as he went out.

Under the leadership of Hou Cheng, Li Ru met Lu Bu. At this time, Lu Bu was the only one in the room. Even though he had only glanced at him from a distance, Lu Bu's height, which was much higher than that of ordinary people, would always leave a deep impression on people.

"Continued below, I have met the Marquis of Jin!" Li Ru cupped his hands and said.

Ever since Li Ru entered the room, Lu Bu had been looking at him. Seeing his calm expression and calm steps, he nodded secretly. Knowing his identity, he could still perform like this. The person in front of him must be extraordinary, but Wen Xu had never done it before.

I have heard that unlike the feelings Jia Xu and Guo Jia gave Lu Bu, he felt a dark aura from each other.

"I heard from General Hou that you were waiting for me at Huguan. Why did you know that I did not return to Jinyang?" Lu Bu asked with a smile.

Li Ru cupped his hands and said: "At this time, Yi'er, the war is over, but the mobilization of troops and horses in Hanoi has become more frequent. There must be someone secretly instigating it. I heard that there is a patrol in Hanoi. Wherever he goes, the people praise him. I guess it is

There is no doubt that he is the Marquis of Jin."

"Sir, you have such a delicate mind. I wonder why you saw me?" Lu Bu said.

Li Ru said slowly: "I admire the Marquis of Jin for his deeds in Bingzhou, Youzhou, and Sili. I once heard that the Marquis of Jin employed people without asking where they came from. Is this true?"

"As long as they are talented people and have no problem with their moral character, I will certainly put them in good stead. I must know this, sir," Lu Bu said.

"What if the person who takes refuge in the Marquis of Jin is a traitor who can be punished by everyone?" Li Ru continued to ask. After all, this matter was of great importance, and he had to ask clearly before making a decision.

"A traitor that everyone can kill?" Lu Bu had doubts in his mind. Could it be that the other party was an important leader among the remnants of the Yellow Turbans?

"Since Sir, you want to take refuge with me, you naturally know what kind of person I am. Under my command are the former subordinates of the traitor Dong Zhuo, and there are also remnants of the Yellow Turbans in the eyes of outsiders, such as Dong Zhuo's Li Su, who is now in Bingzhou.

Jia Xu is in a high position, and he is also regarded as the military advisor of the Bingzhou Army. Do you have any worries, Sir?" Lu Bu said.
