Three Kingdoms: Warriors Lu Bu, You Can Become Stronger By Killing Enemies
Chapter [72] The Calm Before The Storm
Li Ru was imprisoned, and no one tried to dissuade Dong Zhuo.
The Xiliang army, up and down, all wished that Dong Zhuo would ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor as soon as possible.
And Wang Yun also began to do work for Baiguan. At first, Baiguan resisted this very much and scolded Wang Yun as a traitor.
However, when Wang Yun revealed his plan to eliminate thieves a little bit, the attitude of all the officials changed immediately, and they began to cooperate with Wang Yun in their work.
In the army and in the court, both groups of people are extremely flattering, Dong Zhuo is so flattered every day that he can't find the north at all, so Dong Zhuo has been immersed in the emperor's dream, unable to extricate himself
Today's emperor Liu Xie is just a brat with no real power, even if he hears about Dong Zhuo's enthronement, he can only hide in the palace and tremble.
Preparations for enthronement are in full swing.
The location was naturally chosen in the palace, and an altar was built in the palace.
During this period of time, Lu Bu was not idle, and began to transfer troops into the city, especially when he heard that Li Ru's ban was enough, Lu Bu felt more at ease.
There is only such a resourceful man around Dong Zhuo, and he is still grounded. Dong Zhuo fantasizes and looks forward to being the emperor every day, and doesn't care what Lu Bu is doing at all.
Lu Bu's title has been promoted, and he can bring three hundred personal guards, and he is still aboveboard.
Then, in the name of the Taiwei opening the mansion and building the government, some people were recruited. In fact, they were people who fell into the camp, but they did not carry armor and weapons, and they would not be found when they entered the city pretending to be ordinary people.
As far as the Xiliang army's urine is concerned, if they really find out that their identities are wrong, they can basically enter the city smoothly by giving them a bribe.
Everyone's attention is on Zhang Liao. Gao Shun 04 is a transparent person and can be easily overlooked.
And Dong Zhuo also said, don't waste energy on Gao Shun, naturally no one will pay attention to him.
Taiwei's mansion brought in another 500 people, but they didn't have weapons or armor.
But this is not a big problem, because Li Su has it in his hand.
As the guard of the imperial city, he was responsible for the defense of the imperial palace, and the soldiers under his command naturally had to put on tough and sharp guards to perform duties in the imperial palace.
Anyway, Li Su's subordinates are all recruits and don't have much combat power. They are only responsible for waving the flag and shouting. It is better to free up weapons and armor for the trapped camp to increase the attacking force.
"Eight hundred entrapment troops are still a little less than three thousand flying bear troops."
"However, coupled with the manpower under Li Su's command, it can form a deterrent, especially if Dong Zhuo dies, it might be able to frighten the Feixiong army.
"Zhang Liao's side is also finished..."
"Wang Yun succeeded in fooling around, just wait for the enthronement ceremony to begin."
Lu Bu talked to himself, pinching his temples as he spoke, he used his brain too much recently, and his brain continued to heat up every day, so the negative impact was a bit big.
Yan's footsteps came slowly, without making a sound.
However, Lu Bu's warrior's intuition could sense it instantly.
At the level of Lu Bu, it is very difficult to be attacked. If someone appears behind him, he will be noticed instantly.
"Husband, do you have something on your mind?" Yan asked cautiously.
Lu Bu often meditates alone these days, and as a pillow person, Yan Shi can naturally feel it.
"Well, in three days, Xiangguo will ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor." Lu Bu said something perfunctory, and didn't tell Yan Shi anything, because he didn't want Yan Shi to worry.
"This concubine knows about it, and it is my husband who I am asking." Yan's eyes met Lu Bu's, "I am not able to help my husband with important national affairs, but I personally want to share with him."
Lu Bu pursed his lips and said, "At the enthronement ceremony three days later, I will kill Dong Zhuo."
Yan Shi clenched her hands unconsciously when she heard the words, showing the turmoil in her heart. This kind of news was too explosive for a woman, and Yan Shi couldn't digest it for a while.
After a long while, Yan calmed down and asked, "Do you have to go?"
"Yes." Lu Bu nodded, "If I don't kill him, he will kill me. Fire and water cannot be tolerated."
"Then...husband, be careful.
"For my husband, you will stay at home with Lingqi Diaochan that day, no matter what happens outside, ignore it, and wait for your husband to come back." Lu Bu warned.
Husband don't worry, the concubine will help my husband take care of the house. " Yan said firmly.
Lu Bu smiled, without saying any more, and took Yan Shi into his arms.
Yan Shi leaned against Lu Bu's chest, feeling extremely at ease.
Outside the door, one big and one small, Lu Lingqi and Diao Chan peeked in furtively.
"Lingqi, shh~ let's go somewhere else." Diao Chan pulled Lu Lingqi away without disturbing the couple.
Lu Lingqi was still a little unhappy, seeing her parents hugging each other, she also wanted to join in the fun and let Lu Bu hug her.
Diao Chan coaxed Lu Lingqi to leave after she talked all kinds of things.
Lee Mansion.
Two Xiliang soldiers stood at the door, guarding Li Ru here, preventing him from going out.
Li Ru was also disheartened, hiding at home and studying behind closed doors every day.
Because of his humble background, Li Ru hadn't read many books before, and he was able to get ahead all because of his intelligence and shrewdness, but more because of his insidiousness and viciousness!
Even though Li Ru is a scribe and doesn't have much martial arts skills, the generals in Xiliang are basically afraid of him.
Dare to pour poisoned wine on the emperor himself, Li Ru is definitely a werewolf among werewolves.
After getting ahead, Li Ru realized his own shortcomings, so he studied diligently so that he could better assist Dong Zhuo.
For Dong Zhuo, Li Ru is grateful from the bottom of his heart.
Not only reused him, but also married his daughter to him when Li Ru was not famous, Li Ru was particularly moved by this.
When it was time for dinner, Li Ru and his wife sat around and ate together.
"I really don't know how you can eat it." The wife said angrily, "Why are you going to anger Ah Weng?"
"Xiangguo made a mistake, how can I turn a blind eye?" Li Ru retorted.
"What mistake did you make? I think you are really confused. A Weng will be enthroned in three days, and Niu Fu came back from Hangu Pass eagerly to congratulate him.
If you are a stubborn person, why would you stand up against something that everyone agrees with? You will end up being locked up. "
"What?" Li Ru was shocked when he heard the words, "Xiangguo will ascend the throne in three days?"
"Nonsense, am I still flattering you?"
Li Ru was at home these days, and Dong Zhuo didn't let him go out, so he didn't know anything about the outside world.
Li Ru originally thought that even if he ascended the throne, it would take a long time to prepare, but he didn't expect it to be so fast.
"The big event is not good, and the country is in trouble." Li Ru was in a hurry. "Abdication and enthronement are such important events. The Confucianists, who value the most etiquette, will definitely prepare for more than a year. How could they be so hasty? There must be fraud!"
"I think you are stunned!" The wife couldn't help but scolded.
"Women, you know nothing if you have long hair and short knowledge!" Li Ji growled.
"You yelling at me?!" The wife couldn't believe it.
In the marriage between Li Ru and his wife, the door was wrong and the household was wrong. In this marriage, the wife was in an absolutely powerful position.
"They're going to kill Xiangguo! Something big will happen in three days!" Li Ru stared at his wife and said word by word, "Do you want to watch your father die unexpectedly?"
Li Ru was grateful to Dong Zhuo for marrying his daughter to him on weekdays, so he let his wife go. When facing a big event, Li Ru would definitely be able to restrain a woman.
"Then...then what should I do..." the wife asked tremblingly, a little afraid of Jihua in this state.
"You go out immediately." Li Ru said: "I can't go out, but the soldiers definitely dare not stop you. You go to General Hua Xiong and ask him to come to the mansion to see me right away."
"well……"
The wife didn't care about eating, so she got up quickly and left the house.
The Xiliang soldiers guarding the gate did not stop her when they saw it. This is Dong Zhuo's daughter, and they didn't have the guts to keep her from going out.
What's more, Dong Zhuo's order was only to ground Li Ru, but not to ground the whole family. The sensible guards didn't meddle in their own business.
Li Ru walked up and down the room with his hands behind his back.
About a quarter of an hour later, his wife brought Hua Xiong in from the outside.
"The last general pays his respects to Chang Shi. Hua Xiong clasped his fists in salute.
"Ziyi doesn't need to be too polite." Li Ru waved his hand and said, "Let's talk about the recent events, especially about Xiangguo's ascension to the throne, in detail."
Hua Xiong didn't talk nonsense when he heard the words, so he told Ji Ru everything he knew.
In fact, there is nothing to talk about, it is nothing more than building an altar, setting auspicious dates, and then the military and the court tout it, and so on.
Everything seemed normal, but Li Ru could feel the undercurrent.
"In the army... Zhang Liao's military power has been cut?" Li Ru turned to ask, this is what Li Ru arranged before he was grounded.
"Back to Changshi, it was cut, Zhang Liao cooperated very well, each of us was assigned 500 people, and Zhang Liao's troops were reduced by thousands at once." Hua Xiong said truthfully.
Now Li Ru's brows not only didn't ease, but frowned even deeper.
It is human nature for Zhang Liao to refuse to cut troops. With such cooperation, it seems very unnatural to take out thousands of troops and divide them up at once.
Even if Zhang Liao's move to reduce troops met Li Ru's expectations, it aroused Li Ru's suspicion.
But it can only be suspicion. Although 843 Li Ru feels abnormal, he can't tell what's wrong.
If you have to cooperate, if you can't cooperate, if you can't cooperate, isn't that making things difficult for others?
Li Ru put aside Zhang Liao's question, fell into deep thought, and began to think about which link he hadn't thought of.
After a while, Li Ru asked in a hoarse voice: "Where is Lu Bu?! What is Lu Bu doing recently?"
Hua Xiong was taken aback when he heard the words, and didn't answer for a while.
Lu Bu has done two things recently, one is to increase the bodyguards around him, and the other is to recruit people for the Taiwei Mansion.
Both incidents were reported, and Hua Xiong knew about them.
But after thinking about it for a while, Hua Xiong felt that it was not the cause.
And Li Ru is always suspicious.
Hua Xiong felt that after Lu Bu's meritorious service, he was taken away when he came back, and his subordinates were cut off from the military power. It must be very difficult.
If Li Ru was told the truth, Li Ru might have to torment Lu Bu again.
For Lu Bu, the benefactor who saved his life, Hua Xiong felt compassion, and replied, "Lu Bu has been at home all the time, and he hasn't gone anywhere, not even going to the court meeting."
"I heard that Lu Bu seems to have a new wife."
With Hua Xiong's cover-up, Li Ru failed to get any news from Lu Bu, so naturally he couldn't deduce any clues.
Li Ru's fear of all the officials of the Manchu Dynasty combined could not compare with Lu Bu alone.
The so-called scholars failed to rebel for three years, and Li Ru was not afraid of officials in the court. Just as Dong Zhuo said, a group of corrupt Confucians who have no power to restrain chickens have no ability to rebel.
On the contrary, Lu Bu, who is excellent in martial arts, is Dong Zhuo's biggest potential threat.
Upon hearing that Lu Bu didn't go anywhere, Li Ru couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, wondering if he really was worrying too much?
"It doesn't matter." Li Ru thought for a long time and couldn't figure it out. He definitely didn't want to.
But thinking about it doesn't mean that Li Ru won't take measures.
"Zi Yi, I have one thing to tell you." Li Ru looked at Hua Xiong and said.
"Chang Shi just give orders."
"At the enthronement ceremony three days later, in addition to the Feixiong army, you will lead another battalion to protect Xiangguo."
"Among the generals in Xiliang, you are the most skilled, and you personally protect Xiangguo and are responsible for Xiangguo's security.
"If Xiangguo asks, you can just say that I told you. Xiangguo will definitely not refuse."
Hua Xiong clasped his fists after hearing this, and said: "The general will follow orders!".
