Agents of the Three Kingdoms

Luoyang, the prime minister's residence.

Dong Zhuo was wearing gorgeous armor, with a sword hanging from his waist, and he was fully armed.He was tall and tall, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a high nose bridge, a full face, and a fierce look. He sat at the top of the hall with a grin.In the hall, there was a middle-aged man in his early thirties. He was tall and thin, with sunken eyes, an aquiline nose, and thin lips, giving off a mean feeling, especially those eyes. Gives a kind of chilly feeling.There was a faint smile on his face, but he still couldn't change the coldness exuding from his whole body.

His name was Li Ru, Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, and Dong Zhuo's number one adviser.

No matter how big or small, Dong Zhuo would ask Li Ru for advice.

Dong Zhuo held a piece of paper in his hand, his big eyes narrowed into a line, like a pair of crescent moons, even Dong Zhuo still had a smile on his face, and said loudly: "Wen You (Li Ruzi), this guy Cao Cao The assassination of Gu was unsuccessful, and after escaping from Luoyang, he actually issued a campaign against Gu in Chenliu County, what do you think of this matter?"

Dong Zhuo sat casually, without any panic on his face.

The demeanor of the general is fully displayed.

According to historical records, Dong Zhuo was "rough and scheming", which means that Dong Zhuo had a rough and fierce temperament, but he also had strategies, and he was not a brave and foolish person.

Such a person is by no means a fool.

Especially when Dong Zhuo was blocked from entering Luoyang, he had only [-] soldiers under his command, and it was difficult to control the situation in Luoyang.At that time, Dong Zhuo ordered the soldiers under his command to sneak out of the city every few days in order to frighten the dignitaries of Luoyang and the soldiers of Luoyang, and then marched into Luoyang in a mighty manner the next morning.

This continued for several days. Every time the soldiers entered the city, the drums and flags fluttered. It seemed that thousands of troops entered Luoyang continuously.

Li Ru had followed Dong Zhuo for a long time, knowing that Dong Zhuoyue was able to laugh at this time, he became even more angry.

Storm is coming.

He had to appease Dong Zhuo's anger, lest Dong Zhuo would be angry and make mistakes.Li Ru smiled slightly and said, "Prime Minister, in my opinion, this is actually a good thing."

"Oh. There is another saying?"

Dong Zhuo's frown relaxed, and a faint smile appeared on his face.Dong Zhuo knew Li Ru's character, Li Ru's character was cautious, he would never utter wild words, there was some basis for what he said.

Therefore, Dong Zhuo was able to relax.

Li Ru chuckled twice, and said: "The prime minister appointed another emperor. Although he controlled the court and demonstrated the majesty of the prime minister, he only had prestige in the court. The princes from all over the country did not trust the prime minister, and even refused to obey the prime minister's orders. That's why they led the army to attack. For these princes who have mastered the military power, the best way to beat him is to beat him hard with his fists to force him to submit."

"The princes raised their troops, and the prime minister could just gather them together and wipe them out in one fell swoop."

"Just imagine, if the princes of the world unite and are finally defeated by the prime minister, who can have such a great achievement? At that time, the prime minister raised his arms, who would dare to refuse to obey? For the princes from all walks of life, they want to attack the prime minister to make a difference , stepping on the prime minister's glory to rise to the position. But for the prime minister, this is also an opportunity for the prime minister to go further."

Li Ru's eyes shone with wisdom, and he said loudly, "Prime Minister, although Cao Cao did something that angered the Prime Minister, it was a good thing."

"Hahaha... good, good, good!"

Dong Zhuo said three good words in a row, and the flesh on his face stretched out.

In his eyes, there was a raging ambition.

Seeing that Dong Zhuo's anger had calmed down, Li Ru breathed a sigh of relief.When Dong Zhuo got angry, he would easily lose his composure and kill them randomly, which was very disadvantageous.

Only when Dong Zhuo calmed down could the situation continue.

Dong Zhuo's face suddenly turned cloudy, and he said angrily: "When I think of people like Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, and Sun Jian, I feel very unhappy alone! The truth is given to people who are reused, but I didn't expect that they would not keep a single one of them to resist the truth, it is really infuriating, angry!"

Li Ru waved his sleeve and said with a smile: "Prime Minister, don't worry. After defeating them, the Prime Minister will arrest everyone and question them one by one. When the time comes, they will definitely be ashamed and dare not speak."

Dong Zhuo flicked his sleeves, stood up at once, pulled out the long sword at his waist with a clang, and shouted: "After the truth catches them, everyone will be like this desk."

"Crack!!"

With a flash of sword light, a corner of the desk fell down.

Dong Zhuo's anger dissipated only after the sword went down.

He sat down again and said, "Wen You, I have one thing in mind."

Li Ru said, "What's the matter?"

Dong Zhuo remained silent and did not speak immediately.Li Ru frowned, thinking to himself, could something big happen?One of his hearts goes up too, waiting for Dong-joo to speak.

After a long time, Dong Zhuo said: "Wen You, if you defeat the princes of the world alone, can you take advantage of the momentum of defeating the princes of the world and go straight to the top?"

"what……"

Li Ru exclaimed, and his face suddenly became very good-looking.

That situation was really funny.

Dong Zhuo straightened his face and said, "Don't you agree?"

Li Ru took a deep breath and said, "Prime Minister, if you want to reach the top, it's too early now! The timing is wrong. Let me ask the Prime Minister a question, do you think your current strength can be compared with that of Wang Mang back then?"

"Wang Mang?"

Dong Zhuo thought for a while and said: "Wang Mang held military power in the past and has been in power for many years. His foundation is deep. Moreover, Wang Mang himself is a foreign relative of the Western Han Dynasty. His identity, status, and strength are stronger than me now. However, I am only in power. The time is too short, but if there is enough time, we will definitely be able to catch up with Wang Mang's strength."

Li Ru praised: "Prime Minister is wise!"

After a pause, Li Ru said: "If the prime minister wants to reach the top, he must be patient. Now, the prime minister's foundation is in Xiliang, even if he only controls the surrounding areas of Luoyang now, it is not completely in his hands. I suggest After defeating the princes of the world, the prime minister took Luoyang as the foundation and took control of Bingzhou, Jizhou, Yanzhou and the surrounding areas of Luoyang. Once these places are controlled, the prime minister's strength will be unprecedentedly strong and form a strong support Power. At that time, the prime minister will be able to control the world, and only then will he have full confidence in ascending to the extreme, and whoever refuses to accept will be destroyed."

Dong Zhuo nodded, satisfied with Li Ru's suggestion.

He put the long sword in his hand aside, and said with a smile: "You should pay close attention to the things that the princes come to commit. When they gather together into a force, we will wipe them out in one fell swoop. Hmph, a group of jumping clowns can't find the palm of an orphan." .”

Li Ru praised: "Prime Minister is wise!"

Dong Zhuo waved his sleeves, and said, "Ben Xiang went to the palace to have some fun, and left." After speaking, Dong Zhuo left with his hands behind his back, leaving Li Ru with a helpless look on his face.
