Three Kingdoms: I, the eldest son of Cao, a loving father of a great man!

Chapter 332: Mr. Dong invites you to Chang'an, and there will be great benefits for you! [Big chapter, please give monthly tickets and subscribe]

It was early July in the third year of Chuping.

The core area of ​​the Han Dynasty was the Central Plains region centered on Yanzhou and Sili.

A big event happened that shocked everyone and was dumbfounded when they heard about it.

Cao Cao, the herdsman of Yanzhou, together with Cao Ang, the herdsman of Yuzhou, and Xiahou Dun, the governor of Qingzhou, held high the banner of crusade against Dong's thieves in the name of the top chief executive of the three states, and mobilized an army to march all the way to Chang'an.

Although the surnames Cao and Xiahou come from the same source, and the so-called governors of the three governorates are actually the power of one family, the momentum this time is comparable to that of the more than ten princes who attacked Dong Zhuo.

After all, Cao Jun claimed to command 60 troops.

With Cao Ang as the commander-in-chief of the three armies, Zhang Liao, Xia Houyuan and other generals each led the three armies, large and small, divided into several groups, and marched toward Chang'an by land and water.

Although the total strength of Cao's army was actually only a little over [-], this did not prevent Cao Ang from exaggerating the number several times.

War in the era of cold weapons is fought with momentum. As soon as the banner of the 60-strong army is raised, the momentum may be lost before the enemy fights.

Moreover.

Although the number of the army is less than [-], it is reasonable to count the militiamen and young men who provide logistics supplies to several hundred thousand.

under these circumstances.

The news was like having wings, with Cao Jun's marching route as the central axis, and was quickly spread in all directions along the way. The messages against thieves were sent to various cities like snow flakes.

And all the cities that received the proclamation.

After hearing the news, they all took down the flags on the city and replaced them with Han flags, or Cao-character flags to express their allegiance to the Cao family.

Any city on the marching route of Cao's army.

That's even before the arrival of the army, the gates of the city had already been opened to express their surrender, and they were eating pots of pulp to welcome the king's division, for fear that they would stand in line late and suffer disaster.

As such.

For half a month, Cao's army marched at top speed without encountering any obstacles along the way. On the contrary, the cities along the way continued to provide food and grass to ensure the supply of the army.

Starting from the west of Hangu Pass, all the way to Huayin County in the far west of Hongnong County, the whole process was extremely smooth, and the journey of more than 400 miles passed by in a flash.

And after arriving in Huayin.

Further west is the scope of Jingzhao.

In other words, this place is not far from Chang'an, if we continue to maintain the current speed, then within seven days, the army can reach the city of Chang'an.

Of course, this is only an ideal situation.

Whether they will encounter resistance from the Xiliang army, and how strong Dong Zhuo is in ruling the city within Jingzhao, I am afraid it depends on the current combination in Chang'an City and the results of their efforts.

…………

At this moment, in Yiwu, more than 200 miles west of Chang'an City, the members of the duo who Cao Ang had high hopes for, namely Li Ru and Li Wenyou, the biggest insider of the Xiliang Group, were reporting military intelligence to Dong Zhuo.

In the grand hall.

Although the doors and windows were closed, blocking out most of the daylight, the rooms were lined with candles. The bright and dazzling firelight reflected the splendid decorations on the left and right, rendering the entire environment like a golden glow. Brilliant.

The large amount of expensive but overly rich incense made Li Ru frown as he stood in the hall. The smell was too pungent.

But corresponding to it.

The owner of this Wubao, that is, Dong Zhuo and Dong Zhongying, enjoyed all of this.

The whole person was lying lazily on the soft couch. Looking from a distance, it looked like a mountain of meat.

If Cao Ang saw Dong Zhuo at this moment, he would probably be shocked. This Dong Zhuo was completely different from the Dong Zhuo he saw when he was in Luoyang City.

Although Dong Zhuo had an extraordinary figure at the time and looked like a black bear when riding on horseback, those muscles were basically the muscles trained by years of military life. They were strong and strong.

From the outside, he is full of energy, his eyes are full of ambition, and he is arrogant and arrogant.

However, now the muscles all over the body have turned into fat, even the face is swollen, and even the eyes cannot be seen clearly. The bright eyes are squeezed into two slits, let alone say anything. Ambitious.

At this time, Dong Zhuo was already very much in line with the title of "Black Fat Man" given to him by Cao Ang.

…………

"Grand Master, the news is correct. Cao Zixiu, who claims to have led an army of more than 60, has arrived in the west of Hongnong County at this moment. If we don't send troops to fight, I'm afraid they will reach Chang'an City within ten days."

"I hope the Grand Master will make a decision soon!"

Looking at the paperwork and information presented by Li Ru in his hand.

The flesh on Dong Zhuo's face was trembling in patches, and the corners of his mouth were twitching. Although it was covered in the mountain of flesh and his reaction was not obvious, it was also known that his heart was not peaceful.

And after moving with difficulty.

Dong Zhuo threw the information on the desk.

Then a voice full of vanity and exhaustion came from afar.

"Cao Zixiu... Ha, what a great Cao Zixiu. I regard him as one of my own. In the past, I supported him in every possible way. But in the end, he was hunting geese all day long. He was blinded by the geese pecks. Instead, he came with troops and horses. Attack me."

"But it doesn't matter. This little thief claims to have 60 soldiers and horses. In my opinion, [-] soldiers and horses can be considered overwhelming. Besides, he has traveled a long distance and is a tired army. His combat power has been greatly reduced. "

"And under my command, there are more than [-] strong Xiliang soldiers. They are all brave and good at fighting. If we talk about fighting on the battlefield, they will never be weak to Cao's army."

"The little thief from the Cao family thinks he can get an advantage from me, but he doesn't know that this is a way to die!"

Dong Zhuo seemed a little lacking in strength.

Although his words seemed to be full of confidence, according to his temper, when he heard such news in the past, he would be furious and kill with thunder. He would not be able to level two tables without drawing his sword.

But now it is just handled with care.

Facing Cao Ang's menacing attack, he didn't show much concern, which shows that his energy was drained.

…………

Listen to what you say, watch what you do.

Now Li Ru, seeing Dong Zhuo behave like this, has completely given up on him.

He knew that the Xiliang Group's building would collapse in an instant. Even if he didn't do anything, when Cao's army arrived, it would be a one-sided crushing.

In this case, why bother to accompany Dong Zhuo to the sinking? It is better to use his head to exchange for a world-shaking wealth and a bright future.

thought here.

Li Ru no longer hesitated.

There was also a confident smile on his face, and he looked confident. At the same time, he raised his hands and said to Dong Zhuo.

"The grand master controls the imperial court internally and supports a large army externally. His strength is the best in the world. Moreover, our army has been recuperating in Chang'an for many years, and its combat strength has long been restored to its peak."

"The Cao family is just a little thief. In front of you, he is really not worth mentioning. As long as he dares to come, Chang'an will be his burial place!"

"After destroying this invading enemy, Guandong will be completely wiped out. Grand Master, you can take advantage of the victory and pursue it. With the victory in hand, you can mobilize the army out of Guanzhong and counterattack the Central Plains. By then, the world will be pacified in one fell swoop. It's only a matter of days!"

Dong Zhuo was elated when he said this.

Couldn't stop laughing.

The hearty laughter echoed throughout the entire hall, showing that he was in a very good mood.

Although Dong Zhuo had been living in Chang'an for the past few years, his energy had already been exhausted. He spent all day eating, drinking and having fun, and was too lazy to move.

But the extravagant thought of unifying the world, changing dynasties, and becoming emperor has always remained in his heart.In the past, he felt that he had no chance and was too lazy to fight for it, but now that his chief aide was boasting like this, how could Dong Zhuo not be elated?
…………

And just when Dong Zhuo was extremely happy.

Li Ru's gloomy voice suddenly reached his ears again.

"Grand Master, although our army is not afraid of Cao's army now, it is still coming with great force and is said to number 60. There are many deceived people in Chang'an City, and there is even a lot of panic in the army."

"If you want to defend against foreign enemies, you must first be at home. If you let it go, it may cause instability and instability, especially the civil and military ministers in the DPRK. They seem to be honest and obedient, but they all have hidden thoughts."

"So in the opinion of my subordinates, I would like to ask you, Grand Master, to take the time to go to Chang'an. As long as you show up, even if you just say a few inspiring words, it will be enough to shock Xiaoxiao and make people's hearts turbulent."

Dong Zhuo who was clamoring to beat Cao Ang to death just now.

After hearing Li Ru's suggestion, I hesitated again.

"This... Wen You, is this necessary? I can send my generals to lead the troops. I will sit in the camp and control the overall situation from a distance. It should be enough in the future. As for the trash in the court, they are just They are just a bunch of useless people, nothing to worry about, they just have their hearts wandering, so what can they do?"

A dismissive attitude towards Dong Zhuo.

Li Ru nodded slightly in response.

He didn't argue with the fat black man, but turned the corner and said.

"As the Grand Master said, I understand that if it is a trivial matter, it is indeed not worth your efforts."

"But if I can take this opportunity to let you go a step further and become the king of a different surname in my Great Han Dynasty, then I wonder if you are interested in it?"

…………

Li Ru just finished speaking.

Dong Zhuo's eyes widened.

He, who was half paralyzed on the cushion, couldn't help but sit up straight at this moment. He tried his best to open his eyes wide, then looked directly at Li Ru and asked in surprise.

"What do Wenyou mean by this?"

"At the beginning, Emperor Taizu Gao made a covenant with heaven and earth. If it is not the Liu family, the king will be the king. The world will fight against him. I am not Liu, so how can I be crowned king?"

Li Ru smiled lightly and shook his head.

He put his hands in his sleeves, bowed slightly to Dong Zhuo, and then said in a seductive tone.

"The covenant between Emperor Gao and Heaven and Earth was hundreds of years ago. Times have changed. How can we compare today's Han Dynasty with the original Han Dynasty? I don't think it's okay to change things. Nothing is impossible.”

"Moreover, the great Han Dynasty is now facing many disadvantages. It is all thanks to your support, Grand Master, that you have supported the Han Dynasty and kept it from falling. You have worked hard and made great achievements, so why not be granted the title of king with a different surname?"

Follow Li Ru's eloquent talk.

The expression on Dong Zhuo's face began to change drastically.

The initial surprise gradually turned into longing and yearning, and then he couldn't help but nod his head again and again.

It makes sense, it makes so much sense!

In order to ensure the continuation of the Han Dynasty, I, Dong Zhuo, have been really worried. What's wrong with being granted the title of king?
And it's not over yet.

Li Ru continued to point in the direction of Chang'an, and then smiled disdainfully.

"Cao Ang came with a large army. He is naturally an enemy to you, Grand Master, but aren't the ministers in the court afraid of him? Cao Zixiu is a ruthless person. Once he breaks the city of Chang'an, he may not be able to do anything. Be ruthless and purge these Chang'an ministers."

"This group of people can only stand with us now. Even the child emperor should understand this truth."

"So as long as my subordinates arrange for someone to submit a petition, the imperial court will definitely agree if it understands the current affairs. As for the so-called ancestral precepts of Emperor Gao, it doesn't matter if it is changed in times of crisis."

"I don't know, Grand Master, what do you think?"

…………

Speaking of this.

Li Ru stood up and said nothing.

Dong Zhuo only thought for less than ten breaths before he slapped the table with his big hand and said decisively and simply.

"it is good!"

"Wen You's words make sense. If we let such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity slip away from our hands, it would be a waste of money."

"You immediately start arranging people to present the memorial. I will set off today. I will rush to Chang'an as quickly as possible. I will take care of all the big and small things!"

Don't talk about Dong Zhuo.

Even ordinary people cannot resist such temptation.

As the only king with a different surname in the world, apart from the emperor, in name, no one has a higher position than this. He is already one step away from the position of emperor, which is higher than the ninth level.

Without a strong mind, it would be impossible to withstand this.

Dong Zhuo happened to have no such thing.

So he agreed very happily.

Even if he was unwilling to move and ran all the hard way from Xiwu to Chang'an, he still had to brace himself up and forcefully make such an arrangement.

…………

After Li Ru received Dong Zhuo's exact response.

I couldn't help but chuckle in my heart.

Since it is a rapid march, it means that Dong Zhuo cannot carry a large number of troops. Otherwise, it is not known how long it will take to travel more than 200 miles from Xiwu to Chang'an.

Dong Zhuo, who was eager to be crowned king but too lazy to bother, would only think about leaving as quickly as possible.

So things have come to this.

The whole plan is already half successful.

Luring Dong Zhuo to Chang'an also weakened the protective force around him. Next, he only needed to ensure the cooperation of the Northern Army and control the situation within a certain period of time.

That would be enough to ensure that after killing Dong Zhuo, everyone present would be able to escape unharmed, and even ensure that the city of Chang'an would still be in his and Lu Bu's hands.

Think about it here.

Li Ru didn't hesitate either.

He said goodbye to Dong Zhuo immediately, saying bluntly that he should take the first step and let Dong Zhuo leave as soon as possible.

And there is bait ahead.

The fat black man behaved very honestly.

After a brief tidying up, he left his beloved Meiwu with an elite cavalry team that afternoon, and headed for Chang'an City at high speed.

And what he didn't know was.

Once you leave, you will never come back.
