In Luoyang City, Dong Zhuo was originally upset by the Kwantung Alliance, and now as soon as he received Li Wei’s order report, he jumped to his feet in anger, not even believing that this was true.
Just at this time, Lü Bu led his troops back to Luoyang, and Dong Zhuo invited Lü Bu to ask.
Lü Bu did not dare to hide anything, and explained the battle of Hangu Pass to Dong Zhuo in detail.
Dong Zhuo was furious when he heard this, and if Li Ru hadn’t kept persuading and pacifying on the side, Dong Zhuo would have spilled his anger on Lü Bu, which could be regarded as letting Lü Bu escape punishment.
Despite this, this made Lü Bu feel grateful to Li Ru and a little more dissatisfied with Dong Zhuo.
After Dong Zhuo’s anger gradually subsided, Li Ru on the side spoke, “Enxiang, according to what General Lu said, and Li Zhiran’s envoy, there are thousands of soldiers and horses under the command of King Hongnong, and now they are guarding Guancheng, if countless elite soldiers are difficult to achieve full success, but now the Kwantung princes are in chaos, and it is inconvenient for me and other main forces to be mobilized.” ”
Dong Zhuo bowed his head and asked, “What is Wen You’s plan?” ”
Li Ru pondered for a moment, and said, “Enxiang, what did Captain Lu say about seeing Lu Zhi before the Hangu Pass?” ”
Dong Zhuo looked at Lu Bu, who was bowing his head on the side.
Lv Bu quickly nodded, “Father Hui, Wen Xiansheng, it is indeed Lu Zhi, Bu must be right, Li Zhiran also knows about this!” ”
Li Ru listened, nodded and said, “Lu Zhi has an old relationship with Huangfu Song, and has a very close personal relationship, it is not difficult to say that Huangfu Song surrendered to King Hongnong, if Huangfu Song voted for King Hongnong, all three auxiliary lands will be lost.” ”
Dong Zhuo raised his eyebrows, “This, my brother Uncle Ying (Dong Min’s cousin) led 20,000 elite soldiers to garrison Chang’an, and he can hold out for some time.” ”
Li Ru shook his head, “Captain Lu and General Li Zhiran are no match for King Hongnong, if General Dong is dead in Chang’an, there is still a slight chance to hold it, but General Dong is short-tempered… If there is no accident, Chang’an is now lost. ”
Li Ru’s words made Dong Zhuo unhappy in his heart, but thinking of his brother’s character, Dong Zhuo also recognized Li Ru’s words, and said with an ugly face, “If so, I will be caught between two ways… No, we must keep Hedong County, otherwise if we even lose the retreat of Union Prefecture, then Luoyang will be a place of death….
Bong Xian… No, order Hua Xiong, let Hua Xiong lead 30,000 troops, garrison Hanoi County, and ensure the passage between Hezhou and Luoyang!
He then ordered Guo Qian to lead 10,000 cavalry out of Hedong to disrupt the grain road from Jizhou to Chen Liu.
Zeng had 20,000 soldiers and asked Li Wei to hold Hongnong and deter Hangu Pass.
Ling Xu Rong led an army of 100,000 and commanded the three places of Zhongmu, Yuanling, and Rongyang, and stood firm and cleared the wilderness, waiting for the opportunity.
Follow me to the Tiger Prison first! ”
With Dong Zhuo’s order, Lü Bu and the others went to prepare for the expedition, while Li Ru was left alone by Dong Zhuo.
After there were no outsiders in the room, Dong Zhuocai asked Li Ru, “Wen You, Luoyang will be handed over to you, I will leave 20,000 elite soldiers for you, if those old things don’t know whether they are dead or alive…”
Li Ruzuo said, “Confucianism.” ”
Dong Zhuo nodded and let out a long sigh, “Wen You, tell me honestly, how is Liu Zhuan good over there?” ”
Li Ru was silent for a moment, and finally said, “Ru Dou Dao, please ask the grace to seal the King of Hongnong!” ”
Dong Zhuo was shocked, “What?!” ”
Li Ru said again, “Enxiang is in no hurry, and listen to Ru slowly.” ”
Dong Zhuo snorted, “You should talk about it.” ”
Li Ru said, “At this time, the king of Hongnong must have become a general trend, if we attack us from the west, we will suffer enemies on both sides, not to mention, the king of Hongnong is a clan relative of the Han family!”
To this day, none of the Han clansmen who controlled real power, such as Liu Biao, Liu Yan, Liu Yu, and Liu Yi, joined the Kwantung rebels, and even Liu Dai, who joined, never expressed his opinion.
If King Hongnong raised the banner at this time and became an enemy of Enxiang, then Liu Biao and other sect members could stand idly by? ”
Listening to Li Ru’s words, Dong Zhuo suddenly relented, and a chill in his heart instantly rushed to his brain.
Just as Li Ru said yes, now Yizhou Mu Liu Yan, Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao, Youzhou Mu Liu Yu, Yangzhou Shi Liu Xiu, these Han clansmen who control the real power of a prefecture have not expressed their position now.
Even Yanzhou Thorn Shi Liu Dai, who went to the Sour Jujube Alliance, did not have a clear attitude, probably because the Kwantung rebels were powerful and stationed in Yanzhou, and Yanzhou Thorn Shi Liu Dai had no choice but to go to the Sour Jujube Alliance.
I think that Liu Dai plans to work without contributing, just go through a scene.
Thinking of this, Dong Zhuo’s palms were a little cold.
Now these powerful Han clans have not moved, because these clans are essentially enemies with those gatekeepers, and it is reasonable not to add people.
But if King Hongnong raised the banner and rebelled, then maybe these clansmen would respond.
You must know that King Hongnong was deposed by him Dong Zhuo, although those Han clansmen also recognized the Son of Heaven, it was also because King Hongnong was in his hands before Dong Zhuo, life and death were between his thoughts, those Han clansmen did not have a choice, after all, there were only two emperors and concubines.
But now?
Dong Zhuo was a little unthinkable.
Li Ru saw that Dong Zhuo had figured it out, so he said again, “Grace Xiang, if King Hongnong is invited by the grace to be conferred, it means that King Hongnong accepts and recognizes the Son of Heaven Association to inherit the great ruler.
In this way, we can form an alliance with King Hongnong, and even if we can’t form an alliance, we can appease King Hongnong and make him stand still.
More importantly, once King Hongnong accepted the favor, the Kwantung princes would be able to sit on the name of traitors, and there was no reason for the Han clans of the prefectures to send troops to help the Kanto rebel.
Not only that, as long as Eun Sang reconciles with King Hongnong, this can also prove the name of Eun Sang’s loyal courtiers! ”
Listening to Li Ru’s words, Dong Zhuo fell into deep thought, and after a while, he spoke, “Wen You, what if Liu Zhan Xiaoer does not accept a certain family’s invitation?” ”
Li Ru affirmed, “He will definitely be!” If General Dong had not died in Chang’an City, it would have been within a few days that General Dong would have been sent back to Luoyang. ”
Dong Zhuo squinted and said, “Wen You, why can you be so sure? ”
Li Ru was silent for a while, looked at Dong Zhuo, and finally said under Dong Zhuo’s direct gaze, “When King Hongnong left Luoyang and I was captured, King Hongnong once said that the purpose of leaving Confucian’s life was so that Confucian could continue to assist Enxiang, so that Enxiang could hold Luoyang under the siege of the Guandong rebel thieves. ”
Dong Zhuo’s eyes widened, staring straight at Li Ru, “… He, he wants me and other Hanmen people to fight with those gatekeepers and lose both?! ”
Li Ru closed his eyes and nodded, “Ru thinks the same.” ”
Dong Zhuo’s face changed a little, and finally he let out a voice, “Liu Zhuo is really good… I also understood why Liu Xianming had a large number of elite armorers, but he was willing to be deposed by me, and even his biological mother Empress Dowager He was killed by my order, and he did not say anything.
It was not until the Guandong rebels gathered troops in Chen Liu to form an alliance that they killed Luoyang and fled to stand on their own.
I remember that when the first emperor inherited the throne, he was two or three years younger than Liu Zhen.
When the emperor was young, he used eunuchs to eliminate the Qi Dou clan, who controlled the imperial government, and even the leader of the Shi clan, Fu Chen Fan, could not escape the calamity of the clan.
Subsequently, the emperor used this as an excuse to rectify the internal attendants, and all the former ten permanent attendants were personally pushed up by the emperor.
Therefore, the first emperor was able to control the imperial government through the ten permanent attendants, suppress the Shi clan, and balance the rights of the government and the public.
Even once the Northern Expedition was humble, looking at Emperor Wu, trying to Zhongxing Dahan again, but unfortunately, the family gate obstructed it, and the Northern Expedition failed at the beginning, killing thousands of Han Jian’er.
At this point, the first emperor fell sluggishly.
If I hadn’t found some relevant secret letters in the palace, I would have always thought that the movements of the Great Han in the past ten years were just a struggle between eunuchs and foreign ministers….
If all this is really the plan of that fourteen-year-old child, then there is really the style of the emperor…”
Li Ru shook his head and said, “Ru didn’t know, when he was captured that day, Ru personally witnessed King Hongnong personally killing more than a dozen warriors, and there was a description of Lu Duwei, there is no need to say more about King Hongnong’s martial arts.
But before this, in the eyes of King Hongnong and others, and even in the eyes of the Manchu Dynasty Wen Wu, King Hongnong was just a weak and frivolous child.
Such a forbearant person, Confucian does not think that he is an ordinary person. ”
Dong Zhuo listened, and fell into a period of deep thought, but after a while, he stood up and said, “Wen You, send someone to Hangu Pass to report that since King Hongnong is in the domain, then urge King Hongnong to pay tribute to the Son of Heaven as soon as possible.” ”
Li Ru’s eyes lit up, of course he could hear that Dong Zhuo had compromised.
To let King Hongnong pay tribute to the Son of Heaven is to test King Hongnong’s attitude.
Once King Hongnong agreed to pay tribute, it would represent King Hongnong to recognize the status of the Son of Heaven, and then there would be talk of a truce between the two sides.
“Just obey the orders of the grace minister, and Confucianism will handle it properly.”
Dong Zhuo didn’t say much, and waved his hand to signal Li Ru to retreat….
