The Three Kingdoms: The strategist will stop, and Rome will be unified

Chapter 68 Lu Bu and Xu Rong Return

Li Ru glanced at Dong Zhuo, took the letter from the table, just glanced at it, even though he had been prepared for a long time, he was shocked.

"what!"

He widened his eyes and said in disbelief, "Has Hulao pass been lost?"

Li Ru was extremely shocked in his heart. Hulao Pass is a dangerous place in the world, and it was broken so easily?

Logically speaking, it is absolutely impossible for Hulao Pass to be broken so easily. You must know that this is Li Ru's answer considering the variable of Lu Bu.

Otherwise, he wouldn't worry about Lu Bu going to Hulao Pass.

After reading this letter, even Li Ru's eyes showed some doubts, is this Lu Bu going to rebel?

The letter Xu Rong sent last time explained Lu Bu's strange behavior. Now it seems that Lu Bu may have some problems, but based on his understanding of Xu Rong, it is obvious that he should not write such content.

But Dong Zhuo is different, what Lu Bu is doing now is no surprise that he is approaching the description in the letter.

From Dong Zhuo's point of view, this Lv Bu definitely rebelled!

Dong Zhuo on the side showed a trace of murderous intent directly, and said viciously: "A piece of trash can't even hold a tiger prison!"

How can Dong Zhuo worry about the loss of Hulao Pass?

Hulao Pass is Luoyang's last line of defense. As long as Hulao is closed, Luoyang will be safe and sound.

But now that Hulao Pass is lost, this means that Luoyang is in danger.

He had only enjoyed Luoyang City for a few days, and Lu Bu personally shattered his dream.

"When he comes back, kill him, it's useless to keep such a waste!"

The murderous look in Dong Zhuo's eyes was no longer suppressed, it was released instantly, while Li Ru sighed, shook his head and said.

"Master Xiangguo can't do it!"

Dong Zhuo turned sharply and asked in an instant, "Wen You, do you want to protect him?"

Obviously, Dong Zhuo didn't intend to let Lu Bu survive, but Li Ru shook his head again and sighed, "Lord Xiangguo, I don't want to protect him either."

"But think about it carefully, our current subordinates, generals Hua Xiong and Li Jue, have all died in battle. If there is another battle, there will probably be no one in our camp!"

Hearing this, Dong Zhuo's eyes on Li Ru softened a little. What Li Ru said was indeed the truth, and there are not many generals in his hands at the moment.

Li Ru continued: "In my opinion, there are many strange things in that letter. I think it is probably a conspiracy of the princes. We still have something to do with Lu Bu, so let's save him for now."

Even though Dong Zhuo was extremely angry now, he could only show displeasure at the moment.

That Lu Bu was not dead made him a little displeased.

Li Ru is Dong Zhuo's counselor, so he naturally knew why Dong Zhuo was unhappy, so he smiled lightly: "If Lord Xiangguo is really unhappy, we can frighten that Lu Bu, and let Lord Xiangguo vent his anger by the way!"

Dong Zhuo glanced at it flatly, obviously this was no longer the meaning of rejection.

Seeing that Dong Zhuo did not speak, Li Ru continued: "When he comes back, Lord Xiangguo puts on the posture of still wanting to kill him, and I will stop him at that time. In this way, he will not dare to act rashly after he knows your killing intention. .”

The standard one sings the red face and the other sings the bad face, Lu Bu is sure to believe it.

Hearing this, Dong Zhuo remained silent, his eyes flickered, and he didn't answer directly.

"This Lv Bu's achievements are more than failures, and he ruined my good deeds. This time, let him go first!"

Facing the reality, Dong Zhuo also had to compromise.

The next day, Lu Bu returned to Luoyang with the remaining soldiers.

After returning to Luoyang, Lv Bu naturally went to Dong Zhuo's residence immediately. The Hulao pass was broken, and Luoyang must be in crisis. Such important events must be reported to Dong Zhuo.

"Father!"

Before seeing Dong Zhuo's figure, Dong Zhuo's furious voice had already been heard.

"Bastard, you still have the face to come back!"

Then, under Lu Bu's gaze, Dong Zhuo walked out with a plump figure, with a trace of hostility in his eyes.

"Don't think I don't know what you did at Hulao Pass!"

Originally, Dong Zhuo had already stabilized his emotions, but when he saw Lu Bu, the murderous intent burst out again in his eyes!
"After losing the Hulao pass, you still have the face to come back?"

Staring at Lu Bu, Dong Zhuo did not hide the murderous look in his eyes.

Lu Bu, who originally wanted to report to Dong Zhuo about the battle at Hulao Pass, turned livid in an instant. Sure enough, Dong Zhuo's eyeliner was still by his side.

Li Ru said softly from the side: "Master Xiangguo calm down, this matter is not completely to blame for General Lu!"

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted.

The hostility in Dong Zhuo's eyes burst out instantly, and an angry voice resounded throughout the mansion.

"A mere Hulao Pass can't be guarded, so what's the use of keeping you!"

"Come here, drag Lu Bu down and behead me!"

Lu Bu's face was livid, and he looked at Dong Zhuo aggressively.

Li Ru was stunned for a moment, it was obvious that Dong Zhuo was really angry, and he acted in his true colors.

"Lord Xiangguo, calm down. I believe that General Lu didn't do it on purpose. It was a last resort. I don't think it was his intention."

"Although guilty, but not lethal."

At this time, Dong Zhuo glanced at Lu Bu indifferently, but did not speak.

Li Ru let out a sigh of relief and continued, "However, capital crimes can be avoided, but living crimes cannot be escaped. How can you say that twenty punishments are inevitable!"

"General Lu will be confined at home for a period of time these few days."

At this moment, Lu Bu's expression softened a little, and he gave Dong Zhuo a cold look before turning around and leaving.

The estrangement between the two deepened in an instant. Originally, Lu Bu had a lot of dissatisfaction with Dong Zhuo, and even sent someone to watch him when he went to Hulao Pass.

Of course, he was also angry now, but he had nowhere to vent it, so he could only leave indifferently.

After all, the Hulao Pass was breached. Although he didn't know the reason, the responsibility did lie with him, and he had nothing to say.

Although he was dissatisfied, he couldn't express it face to face. Now that the eighteen princes broke through the Hulao Pass, it was not the time to turn against Dong Zhuo.

At the same time, that evening, Xu Rong also returned.

Compared with Lu Bu, this Xu Rong was even more miserable, with only a team of less than a hundred people, and his clothes were ragged and tattered.

Obviously, in order to escape from the Hulao Pass, they also spent a lot of energy.

"Master Xiangguo, Xu Rong is guilty!"

As for Lu Bu, this Xu Rong was obviously more tactful, and he took the initiative to admit his mistake as soon as he returned.

He has been under Dong Zhuo's tent for so many years, so he naturally knows Dong Zhuo's temper.

Although Dong Zhuo is angry now, compared to Lu Bu, he is obviously more relaxed.

"Our family let you watch Lu Bu, what have you done!"

Facing Dong Zhuo's angry words, Xu Rong also accepted them one by one.

He is also very helpless, but there is no way to break the situation by himself, and even now he doesn't understand why there are letters colluding with Cao Cao in his study.

Li Ru is kind to persuade.

"Okay, Mr. Xiangguo, this matter has nothing to do with Xu Rong, and he is not to blame."

This Xu Rong is his confidant after all, and he knows Xu Rong's character, so he will naturally help to speak good words.

Moreover, in connection with Xu Rong's words and Lu Bu's words, Li Ru felt a sense of crisis for some reason. The breaking of the tiger prison is too strange.

Who the hell fought a tough battle overnight, and the whole army suddenly appeared in the city?
