The three countries are very nuclear

Chapter 275 Between square inches, hell and heaven

Five days ago, Luo Yang.

Li Ru stood with his hands behind his back in front of the palace, looking at the big plaque on the palace in front of him, and wrote "Yong'an Palace" in three big characters.

Yong'an Palace was originally the residence of the Empress Dowager. In the past, Empress Dowager He lived here. When Empress Dowager He was poisoned by Dong Zhuo, the deposed Emperor Liu Bian was put under house arrest in Yong'an Palace.

"Dong Zhongying, what are you thinking..."

Li Ru stood in front of the hall, muttering to himself, his eyes a little blurred.

When he came to Yong'an Palace this time, he was naturally entrusted by Dong Zhuo to send Liu Bian off.

As for Liu Bian, Li Ru didn't want to kill him.

First, his wish is to help Dong Zhuo weaken the Kanto family, restore the former glory of his ancestors, and finally rule the world.

Therefore, when raising the butcher's knife to the family, Li Ru did not shy away from it.

Regardless of whether it is the Yuan family in Runan, the Yang family in Hongnong, or the Xun family in Yingchuan, the Chen family and the like, Li Ru doesn't pay attention to them all.

Use it when you need it, and kill it when you need it.

Party struggles, of course each depends on his means, and he can't blame others for his life and death.

But...if the Son of Heaven is killed, it will be regarded as a complete loss of the gift of being a minister.

At any time, as long as you don't want to completely overthrow the Han Dynasty, the emperor has to keep it, even if you are just a puppet, you can't kill it.

The deposed emperor is also the emperor, as long as he has been the emperor before!
Second, in Li Ru's follow-up plan, Liu Bian still has a greater role, and it seems rather unwise to kill him now.

Third... Ever since joining Luo, Li Ru gradually felt that Dong Zhuo had changed.

Dong Zhongying, who was bold and generous in the past, who ate and had fun with the soldiers under his command, is probably gone forever...

Of course Dong Zhuo was not a fool, but killing Liu Bian was indeed a whim.

Half a month ago, when the anti-Dong wave had not yet reached its peak, Dong Zhuo wanted to give these Kanto families a new level.

So he sent a team of envoys composed of Dahonglu Han Rong, Shaofu Yinxiu, Jinwu Humuban, general master Wu Xiu, and Yueqi school captain Wang Gui to the Kanto with the edict, and put forward conditions to make The vassals of the Kwantung region called a truce.

It is said that it is a Kanto family, but it is actually an imperial edict to Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu.

In short, any conditions can be negotiated, and everything is easy to discuss.

In this regard, the Kwantung princes headed by Yuan Shi said that the discussion is a fart!

So, these people are tragic.

Shaofu Yinxiu and general craftsman Wu Xiu had just arrived in Nanyang, when he encountered bandits and bandits, and died tragically under the bandits' sword.

Of course, who are these rogues and where did they come from?
In this regard, Yuan Shu stated that he had no knowledge of it, and after the two died, he strongly condemned the bandits.At the same time, Sun Jian also went out to fight in person, wiped out this gang of rogues, and avenged the envoys of the imperial court.

Look, Mr. Dong, we are loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty like this!

Yuan Shu's envoy to Nanyang just let it go.

And the three people in the north did not end well.

Dahonglu Han Rong, Zhijinwu Humuban, and Yueqi School Captain Wang Gui went straight to Bohai County, wanting to have an open and honest talk with Yuan Shao.But before he left the border of Sili, he was caught by Hanoi prefect Wang Kuang.

Compared to the rogues in Nanyang, Wang Kuang's eating was even uglier, so he went straight to the knife.

Han Rong is a famous person in the world, he is old and prestigious, and he is also the same clan of Jizhou Mu Han Fu, so naturally Wang Kuang can't kill him.But it is still possible to detain him as a thief.

As for the other two, they didn't have so many scruples, and they were directly beheaded by Wang Kuang in public, showing a great loyalty to Yuan Shao.

It is worth mentioning that Hu Muban is also Wang Kuang's brother-in-law.

On the day of the execution, Wang Kuang also made a special trip to his sister's house, and wept bitterly while hugging his two nephews.Then with tears in his eyes, he shaved Hu Muban into pieces...

The envoys he sent out were treated like this, and Mr. Dong's face was swollen.

You rebels, killing angels without permission, and disrupting the court's laws, are really unworthy sons of man!

Okay, aren't you going to raise troops to welcome Liu Bian back?

Then I will kill Liu Bian first, and see what name you use to resist the imperial court!
Therefore, there was the scene of Li Ru appearing in front of Yong'an Palace today.

With a wave of Li Ru's hand, the palace gate was slowly opened by the guards.

But the moment he was about to enter, Li Ru hesitated.

He knew that if he took this step, there would be no turning back.

He has no regrets, let alone fear, but is a little unwilling.

If the ambition in his heart can be achieved, he will die without regret!
But what worries him the most now is actually Dong Zhuo who is losing his mind day by day.

"Ugh!"

Li Ru let out a long sigh, and looked inside. Although it was a scorching summer day, there was a gloomy and cold breath blowing towards his face.

Behind him, the sun is shining...

Inside and outside the palace, within a square inch, there is heaven and hell.

Standing between the light and the dark, Li Ru will have completely different endings if he advances or retreats.

After thinking for a while, Li Ru's eyes regained a bit of clarity, and finally walked into Yong'an Palace.

"Forget it... from the moment he entered Luoyang, a certain person had no way out... why bother to look forward and backward at this time!"

……

Taishan County, Fenggao.

When Lin Chao arrived with a group of civil servants, Liu Bei hadn't woken up yet, but the doctors were already treating him.He ordered everyone to wait in the courtyard, and walked into the room alone.

Seeing Lin Chao approaching, Zhang Fei rushed up to greet him, and said, "Zi Chu, Zi Xu didn't know what he said, which made my brother angry, and he vomited blood and fell into a coma. To be honest, I have been with my brother for many years, and I have never seen him... ..."

Lin Chao interrupted him with a wave of his hand, signaling Zhang Fei not to make noise.

"Yi Demo wants to make a noise, and first let the doctors concentrate on treating Xuande Gong."

Hearing this, Zhang Fei nodded, then kept silent.

Lin Chao looked at Liu Bei who was unconscious on the bed, and then at the doctor who was concentrating on diagnosis and treatment. He didn't say anything, but just waited quietly with Zhang Fei.

After about a quarter of an hour, the doctor stood up and bowed to the two of them.

Zhang Fei immediately asked, "Sir, what's the matter?"

The doctor shook his head and smiled, and said: "My lord has always been strong and strong, but this time I only fainted because of the rush of fire. I prescribed a few medicines, and after taking them, there should be no serious problems. Just pay attention, recently You must not get angry again, otherwise your life will be in danger."

"Thank you, thank you!"

Hearing this, Zhang Fei felt relieved, and thanked the doctor again and again.

The doctor also cupped his hands and said: "This is a matter of a certain duty, the general does not need to do this. If there is no other order, I will go to dispense the medicine for the Lord first."

"Of course, of course, a certain person sent Mr. to fetch the medicine."

Lin Chao also heaved a sigh of relief, let Zhang Fei look at Liu Bei, turned around and went out, and came to the courtyard.

Everyone had just seen the doctor come out, but they dared not ask about Liu Bei's condition because they were afraid of breaking a taboo.Seeing that Lin Chao also came out at this time, he immediately surrounded him.

"Zi Chu, how is brother?"

Guan Yu asked, still holding the Qinglong Yanyue Knife in his hand.

Lin Chao adjusted his mood, smiled on his face, and said, "Mr. Xuande is fine. The doctor said that he fainted temporarily because of the rush of fire. He should wake up later."

Hearing this, everyone was relieved.

Only then did Guan Yu put away the Qinglong Yanyue Saber.

As for why Liu Bei fell into a coma, Lin Chao didn't say, and it was hard for them to ask.

However, Lin Chao took the initiative to answer everyone's doubts: "Everyone, the reason why Duke Xuande fainted this time is because of a news from Luoyang."

"what news?"

This time it was Guo Jia who spoke.

Liu Bei was in a coma before, and Guo Jia was one of the most worried people.

Even though he has not been surrendered for a long time, he has a very good personal relationship with Liu Bei.Between the two, the composition of friends is even greater than that of monarchs and ministers.

Facing the doubtful crowd, Lin Chao said slowly, "Five days ago, Dong Zhuo poisoned the deposed emperor in the palace."

Whoa!
Lin Chao's words were like a stone stirring up a thousand waves, and the crowd suddenly boiled.

Xun Yu, uncle and nephew looked shocked, Ju Shou sighed, Guo Jia shook his head and said nothing, only Jia Xu remained expressionless, and even sneered a few times in his heart.

Li Wenyou, Li Wenyou, you played a little too big this time!

Looking at the military commander, he didn't show much emotion.

For this group of warriors from humble backgrounds, the news that the emperor was killed was far less shocking than Liu Bei's coma.

There was a hint of enlightenment in Guan Yu's eyes, and he whispered to himself, "No wonder my brother is so anxious..."

Guo Jia said, "Thieve Dong is so vicious, he dared to poison the emperor! Zichu, what should we do now?"

"This matter is of great importance. Before Duke Xuande wakes up, I will not make any unreasonable remarks."

Lin Chao shook his head and sighed.

Everyone was silent again.

At this time, Zhang Fei strode out from behind.

"Zichu, brother is awake!"

Hearing this, everyone was happy.

Lin Chao nodded and followed Zhang Fei into the back room.

At this time Liu Bei had woken up, but his complexion was still a little pale, with an indescribable weakness.

Seeing Lin Chao walk in, Liu Bei forced a smile and said, "Zi Chu is here, help me to sit up."

Lin Chao nodded, walked to the bedside and helped Liu Bei up, and then said: "Mr. Xuande, the doctor said that you fainted because of your haste, and you only need to rest for a while to recover. "

Liu Bei shook his head and said: "It's just vomiting blood, I'm fine, I don't need to rest. Bandit Dong dared to poison the emperor, so tomorrow I will raise troops to enter Luoyang, kill the three clans of Bandit Dong, and avenge the emperor. You come in to discuss the matter of raising troops."

His words were not loud, but the firmness revealed in them moved even Lin Chao.

"Mr. Xuande, health is the most important thing." Lin Chao persuaded, "Dong Thief has nearly 20 troops under his command, and it cannot be settled in a single battle. He needs to be crusaded with all the princes. Moreover, if all Xuzhou's soldiers are raised, it will take The requisition of grain and grass is huge, and the corvee required for the transfer of grain and grass is also collected in advance, and these things will take time."

Liu Bei still shook his head: "Thieves Dong are rampant, and the emperor is in trouble. As a clan member of the Han family, how can I sit idly by! If the princes of the Guandong are not willing to raise troops to serve the king, will I have to live like them?"

Lin Chao sighed in his heart, knowing that Liu Bei had made up his mind, and no one could stop him.

"Mr. Xuande, the court thinks that Mr. Xuande should rest and recuperate his body first, so that the army will be started by the court." Lin Chao chose a compromise method, "Preparation always takes time. When the court has assembled all the soldiers and horses, Duke Xuande It should be cured. Otherwise, with this sick body, how can I kill Dong thief?"

Liu Bei was afraid that Lin Chao was delaying time, so he asked, "How long will it take Zichu to prepare for the army?"

"January is enough."

"No, I can't wait that long, twenty days at most."

Liu Bei grabbed Lin Chao's hand and said sincerely, "As a Han official, if I sit and watch the rebels wreak havoc on the court, I will feel uneasy. Zichu, I will raise troops within [-] days, please."

Lin Chao stood up, bowed his hands to Liu Bei, and said solemnly: "I will obey the Lord's order!"
