Daming: Lend the system to Emperor Hongwu at the beginning

Chapter 207 Li Ru: The Trend Has Gone
"Cough cough...!"

At this moment, suddenly a few guarding soldiers in the distance began to cough.

Then more and more people began to have various uncomfortable reactions.

"It should be that among the enemies, there are top civil servants who are displaying astronomical level talents!"

Zhang Jiao came out of the shadows and whispered beside Zhu Biao: "Your Highness, I can take action to remove this negative influence, but I am afraid that my identity will be exposed."

"You don't need to take action."

"You have more important tasks."

"I have a way to deal with things here!" Zhu Biao said with a smile.

Soon, the power of the poems of Ping Tianxia was spread.

This is Wen Tianxiang's "Song of Righteous Qi". It has many functions, one of which is that it can relieve people's fatigue and various negative states, making people full of energy and not easy to get hurt.

To be honest, the Pingtian Confucianism under the system of Confucianism, Taoism, and talent has the same effect as the innate magical powers of this world, and they are both magical arts that can affect people on a large scale.

This is also the reason why Zhu Biao chose to carry a large number of this kind of poetry in this battle.

Zhu Biao prepared more than 40 pieces of these kinds of poems and poems with various functions, which is equivalent to bringing more than 40 top civil servants with talents and supernatural powers with him.

Such specifications and configuration are enough for him to deal with various emergencies.

It's like Li Ru's hidden killing talent, which has been hidden for a long time and just started to show up, has been easily eliminated by him.

This is the essence of a great unified empire.

Although he didn't bring millions of people to forcefully conquer this plane.

But it doesn't mean that the Ming Empire can't give him support.

It can be said that standing behind him are now nearly 60 billion people of Ming Dynasty. No matter what he needs, that social system is no less than a modern society's efficient state machine, and it can give him in a very short time. ready to come out.

This allows him to remain invincible no matter what situation or opponent he faces.

"The trend is over!"

Feeling that his hidden killing talent on the top of the city was eliminated in an instant, Li Ru's face was extremely ugly, and coupled with the fact that their number one combat power, Lu Bu, was captured, Li Ru knew that they had lost the bet this time.

And lost terribly.

Next, it is very likely that the enemy will besiege and kill them.

Only relying on them, the seven thousand rootless ducklings, were trapped in the Sili, with no way out.

"The big deal is to turn around and take down Tongguan. We still have 40 people outside Tongguan. At that time, we should cooperate from inside and outside. Breaking Tongguan is no problem. When Tongguan is captured, the Xiliang Army and Bingzhou Wolf Riders will enter Sili again. If you don't believe me, Luoyang cannot be conquered!"

A trace of hostility flashed across Dong Zhuo's face.

"It's the only way to do it now!"

Li Ru sighed deeply and said, "However, if Tongguan can be conquered, we will no longer be able to join Sili. After we occupy Tongguan, we can negotiate terms with the imperial court. This is our ray of hope!"

"If we completely tear ourselves apart with the Han court, then although the momentum in the early stage is huge, the final result will definitely be unfavorable to us, such as Bian Zhang and Han Sui who rebelled in Jincheng County. As far as I know, their life is not easy now. .”

"Without a golden signboard like the Great Han Emperor in our hands, we have already lost the opportunity to quickly replace the Great Han. We can only hold on first, and then wait for the opportunity."

Hearing Li Ru's words, Dong Zhuo finally calmed down completely.

He nodded silently.

I know what Li Ru said is right.

This was originally one of their worst plans.

Li Ru made it clear to him a long time ago that at this moment, rebelling like Bian Zhang and Han Sui does not make much sense, because what is waiting for them is the counterattack of the entire Han Dynasty. If they do this, they will not only lose their righteousness , can't even get the support of any aristocratic family, and even the army will be unstable.

After all, among the frontier army, there are still a large number of people who are loyal to the Han Dynasty.

Such people will not rebel with them.

And the most important point is the food and grass. Most of the food and grass for the frontier army are supplied by the imperial court.

Besides, the Yellow Turban uprising has lasted for three or four years.

The local influence of the Han Empire is actually very large.

These people seem inconspicuous, but their power should not be underestimated, but the fear of causing the center's fear before is hiding their strength.

If they really raised their troops to attack the Central Plains, there would be an endless stream of people coming out to resist them immediately.

Although they have 40 elites, the Han Dynasty is huge, and relying on these 40 people will never win the world.

They will only become Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, making wedding dresses for those who come later.

For such a thing, Li Ru, who is familiar with history, naturally does not go back to do it.

"One more thing, my Bingzhou army has run out of food now, and I think your Liangzhou army is also in the same situation!"

"After all, we marched for a day and a night in a hurry, and now we are in urgent need of food and grass!" Ding Yuan, the governor of Bingzhou, said solemnly.

"It's quite simple, just grab it. Sili is full of noble families, and we have 7000 people. It's not a problem to wipe out one or two big families." A cold light flashed in Li Ru's eyes.

"it is good!"

"Since it's been decided, let's go!" Dong Zhuo shouted.

"Inspector, Feng Xian hasn't come back yet!" Seeing that Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo had already negotiated, they were planning to retreat quickly in the dark, and Gao Shun, who had just rushed back, looked anxious.

"Fengxian is brave. Even if he loses, he should be able to protect himself. Now he must be delayed by something. We don't need to worry. I believe he will come back to me after he gets out of trouble."

Ding Yuan said calmly.

To be honest, for the fact that Lu Bu seemed to be captured, he was actually a little happy in his heart.

Because Lu Bu is too powerful in battle and too powerful in the Bingzhou army, he feels more and more unable to suppress this person.

But this person's personal force is like a monster, strong and perverted, he deliberately created an opportunity before, and wanted the Xiongnu to kill him.

As a result, he alone wiped out thousands of Hun troops.

Not only did he fail to fulfill his wish, but it also made him more powerful in the army than before. Regarding this point, Ding Yuan has always had a thorn in his heart.

It is because Lu Bu is too high-spirited and doesn't know how to win over people in the army. Otherwise, it is not certain whether the wolf rider in Bingzhou has a surname of Ding!

Well now, if this guy is captured or killed, then the threat to him from this person will completely disappear.

Of course he was in a good mood.

Gao Shun wanted to say something, but Zhang Liao, who had been silently by his side, pulled him away.

Gao Shun turned his head, and immediately saw Zhang Liao shaking his head slightly at him.

In the night, Gao Shun seemed to see a haze rising from Zhang Liao's eyes.

For a moment, Gao Shun stopped talking.

Among the current Bingzhou wolf riders, if there was anyone he admired the most, it wasn't actually Lu Bu.

Although Lu Bu is invincible, his brain... To be honest, he is really not very clear. He often does some extremely outrageous things.

What thoughts are in the heart are directly revealed on the face, without any cover-up.

It is also true that there are almost as many people who support him and those who hate him in the Bingzhou Army.

Perhaps a person like Lu Bu doesn't need such a thing as a brain, and he just rushes forward if something happens.

In comparison, Zhang Liao, who has always been unknown in the army, is different.

He is more cautious and more rational.

Gao Shun has always been more convinced.

Most importantly, Gao Shun and Zhang Liao have known each other since childhood, earlier than Lu Bu and Zhang Liao.

It's just that Zhang Liao deliberately hid the relationship between the two long ago.

In the current Bingzhou Army, he is a little more famous than Zhang Liao, but in fact, few people know that Zhang Liao is a talented strongman of both armies.

Except for Zhang Liao, he has never seen such a strong man.

And the most frightening thing is that Zhang Liao only showed one legion-level talent from the beginning to the end, and he didn't even know what the other legion-level talent was.

Gao Shun admired such a forbearing guy.

This is also the reason why he believed in Zhang Liao.

If you listen to this guy, you may not be rich, but you will definitely survive.

"Everyone, why bother to leave?"

Dong Zhuo and Ding Yuan, who were about to leave suddenly, looked terrified, because a voice rang in their ears.

At the same time, a dense fog suddenly appeared around him, and he couldn't see his fingers in the thick fog. Coupled with the darkness, Dong Zhuo even had the illusion that he was the only one left in the whole world.

"My lord, this is a celestial talent."

"And it's a very high-level celestial phenomenon." Li Ru whispered in Dong Zhuo's ear.

At the same time, a trace of horror flashed across his face. He didn't even know when the other party had cast such a large-scale and high-intensity astronomical phenomenon.

A tall figure stepped out of the thick fog step by step.

This is a tall giant with golden light all over his body. The giant has a unique divine power that continuously spreads to the surroundings. There is a person standing on the giant's shoulders.

Wearing Taoist robes, Zhang Jiao, a great virtuous teacher with a flamboyant aura.

And behind this giant is an extremely elite cavalry with no fewer than ten thousand people, walking neatly.

Just looking at the aura of these people, Li Ru knew that this was a strong army not weaker than Xiliang cavalry.

"When did the imperial court have such elite cavalry?" Li Ru was a little puzzled.

But soon, when he really saw the giant and the person standing on the giant's shoulders clearly, Li Ru's expression changed again, and he couldn't help but exclaimed.

"Yellow Turban Warrior!"

"Are you Zhang Jiao?"

"Aren't you dead?"

"How could it appear here?"

"You surrendered to the imperial court?" Li Ru was startled at first, and then his eyes turned cold.

He knew that falling into such a high-intensity astronomical level talent today, and being besieged by tens of thousands of elite cavalry, and a strong man like the great virtuous teacher Zhang Jiao, he and others would be in danger.

But he never expected that it would be Zhang Jiao who arranged such a powerful celestial phenomenon.

Unfortunately, when he heard the news of Zhang Jiao's death, he lamented it.

He thought that he was a hero who would not hesitate to smash his body to pieces for the sake of the people, but in the blink of an eye he became a lackey of the imperial court.

"Dong Zhuo, Ding Yuan, Li Ru, I am sent by my lord Zhu Yuanzhang."

Zhang Jiao didn't deny his identity, but he didn't affirm it either. Instead, he continued: "My lord Zhu Yuanzhang sent me to warn you all. Set up camp five miles back. There is enough food and grass for 1 of you for a month. Don't be impatient, don't act rashly!"

"In addition, the imperial court has found out that the incident of Xiliang Army and Bingzhou Army's entry into Sili was caused by rebellion against He Jin's false imperial decree, and has nothing to do with Dong Zhuo and Ding Yuan. You can just camp with peace of mind, and the imperial court will give you an explanation as soon as possible. "

"Also, Li Ru, you need to go back to Beijing with me, my lord wants to see you."

"This...!" Dong Zhuo and Ding Yuan, who had just prepared to fight to the death with the imperial court, looked at each other in dismay.

Especially Ding Yuan let out a long sigh of relief.

His original will to rebel was not very firm. He thought that being trapped in this level of celestial phenomena and being surrounded by tens of thousands of cavalry, he would have no possibility of survival, but the situation suddenly took a big turn. They didn't even investigate the crime of approaching Sili.

This immediately made him stop thinking about desperately.

Even Dong Zhuo is the same.

Although he has great ambitions, they are only hidden in his heart after all. If the defense of Luoyang City is vulnerable and he is allowed to attack with troops, he will naturally enjoy the glory and wealth.

But the reality is stronger than people. This trip to Luoyang gave him a blow. He deeply understood that the court is not really strong from outside, and there are still capable people in the court.

Otherwise, how could he directly capture Lu Bu, the number one general in the world, in a few breaths, and how could he hold down their [-] strong frontier army to death.

You must know that this requires a stronger force than defeating them.

He has been completely defeated by the court.

Now he has completely lost the courage to fight to the death. He only hopes that the court will allow him to command the Xiliang Army safely and be a loyal minister and good general of the Han Dynasty.

Seeing the reaction of Dong Zhuo and Ding Yuan, Li Ru couldn't help but sighed again in his heart.

He knew very well that this time the general trend was really gone.

He has carefully planned for 20 years to turn Dong Zhuo from a general into a general who now commands 20 Xiliang troops step by step, and then the plan to advance to Luoyang, which took three years to plan, has completely failed here.

Judging from what Zhang Jiao said just now, the key person who destroyed his plan this time should be Zhu Yuanzhang.

The spies he sent to Luoyang did not mention this name to him.

He really couldn't figure out how such an unknown figure could silently destroy the plan he had spent more than 20 years carefully laying out.

He wanted to meet this man.

"My lord, Ru has been entrusted to me, and I am leaving!" Li Ru bowed respectfully to Dong Zhuo, then turned around and strode into the dense fog.

Dong Zhuo looked at Li Ru with a complicated expression. He had an intuition that this time Li Ru left, he would really lose this good teacher and friend.
