Prancing Horse Xiliang

Chapter 196 Convincing Li Ru
Jia Xu stood proudly and said: "If the military adviser is a great career for the prime minister, please beheaded!"

Li Ru waved his hand, and said in a deep voice, "I know you have the sharpness of your tongue, so you don't have to show it off. However, even though the military power and the court's power have been vested in the Prime Minister today, the scholars still sigh. The self-reliance of the Han Dynasty will inevitably lead to the crusade by the princes of the world, which is more dangerous than last time, what kind of heart do you have, dare to offer such a poisonous plan, say."

Jia Xu was puzzled and said: "Why did the military master say such a thing? In his heart to fight, he is the prime minister's domineering ear. Why do you doubt it?"

Li Ru snorted coldly, a startled light flashed in his long and narrow eyes, and said coldly: "You still dare to quibble, the common people know the truth of shooting the first bird, don't tell me that you don't know that standing in place of the Han will attract the world The princes condemned unanimously."

Jia Xu suddenly said: "It turns out that the military adviser said this, but I have a different opinion."

Li Ru said in a deep voice: "Forget it, I will give you a chance to distinguish. If you can't say that you are ugly, I will convict you again and convince you to die. Tell me!"

Jia Xu said confidently: "A military division only knows one thing, but not the other!"

Li Ru kept a cold face and didn't answer, let's see how Jia Xu could tell.

Jia Xu cleared the noise, and then continued: "Since the prime minister defeated the Kwantung rebels in the first year of Chuping, all the princes of the world have become interested in Qin, Mu and Chu. You have openly disregarded the imperial court, even though you are a Han minister, you actually have the heart of disobedience, is what I say right?"

Li Ru nodded. This is a fact that cannot be denied.

In troubled times, who doesn't want to achieve great things.

It's just that Yuan Shao and the others didn't openly betray the Han, and everyone knew what they were up to.

Just like the Zhou Dynasty in the past, although all the vassal states were governed by the Zhou family in name, in fact the Zhou family was just a decoration. Those vassal states were independent and established themselves as kings.

The current situation of the Han Dynasty is somewhat similar to that of the Zhou royal family.

The Han Dynasty declined, and the princes of the world rose together, and their ambitions gradually grew.

Leaving aside other people's words, Yuan Shu's disobedience has been clearly revealed, and he did not hide it at all.

Jia Xu encouraged his three-inch tongue, and said: "Nowadays, the emperor's program is out of order, and the country is not prosperous. Although the scholars have the heart to serve the country, they are not loyal. If the prime minister stands in place of the Han, the scholars in the world will be stabilized." Heart, do you think so?"

Li Ru pondered for a while, then nodded slowly.

This is also a fact, there is no way to deny it.

Heroes come out of troubled times, and not all scholars are diehard members of the Han Dynasty.

In the final analysis, most of the things in this world are grass on the wall, whichever side is windy will fall.

Although the minds of scholars in the world are still thinking about Han, for those grassroots, the most concerned thing is whether they can squeeze themselves out and rank among the honorable ministers in the torrent of dynasty change, not who is in charge of the world.

Now the imperial court is controlled by Dong Zhuo, and Emperor Han has become a puppet in name only.

Scholars all over the world wanted to be loyal to the Han Dynasty, but they couldn't get in. Be loyal to Dong Zhuo.

If Dong Zhuo is in the right position, I believe there will be a large number of fools who will follow the dragon immediately.

It's like Yang Biao, Zhou Huan, Wang Yun and other courtiers obediently bowed down at Dong Zhuo's feet.

It can be seen that in this world, there are many people who follow the trend, and there are a few who are truly loyal to the Han Dynasty and can go to the country for the country.

Jia Xu whipped up his eloquent tongue, and said righteously: "In the first year of Chuping, the princes of the Guandong invaded with 30 troops. Our Xiliang army can repel them. Why not be afraid, at that time, only 20 troops from Xiliang will be enough to repel the rebellion and deter Xiaoxiao, do you think so?"

Li Ru nodded again, this is also true and cannot be denied.

Since the Xiliang army was able to repel the Kwantung rebels once, there is no reason why they could not stop the second time.

At that time, it is only necessary to use Luo Zheng's plan to strangle several important passes with elite infantry, and then order an elite cavalry to enter the Central Plains. How to attack Luoyang.

But having said that, Luo Zheng is indeed a rare general, but it is a pity that he betrayed the lord.

Looking at the generals under the lord's tent, if it is said that they are good at fighting, none of them can match that guy.

Originally thought that taking that guy to Liangzhou, even if he didn't die, he would have to peel off his skin.

Unexpectedly, that guy not only subdued the Qiang and Hu tribes by means of thunder, but even wiped out Han Sui.He planned to drive Ma Teng and others to attack Jincheng, but was also defeated one by one by that guy. Not only Ma Teng was defeated, Gai Xun and others were wiped out.

In the end, he lost Wuwei even more, which is really not worth the candle.

Even Lu Bu suffered a great loss, so far he dare not act rashly again.

The more Li Ru thought about it, the more he felt that it was not a good taste. After all, Luo Zheng was forced to rebel by himself and others.

If this is not the case, this person's ability to deal with the Kwantung rebels should be the greatest help.

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard Jia Xu talking again.

Jia Xu said loudly: "Don't say that our Xiliang army is not afraid of the rebellion of the Kanto princes at all. In fact, the princes of the world are busy expanding their strength and conquering the city. Now Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan are hurrying to recruit and buy troops, and the border dispute is becoming increasingly fierce; Yuan Shu stationed troops in Huaishui, intending to go south to Yangzhou. Facing the risk of being attacked by Gongsun Zan in Ye City, will you raise your troops to serve the king? Will Yuan Shu give up entering Yangzhou and attack Luoyang instead?"

"This……"

Li Ru resorted to Liu Xu and remained silent for a while.

Although what Jia Xu said is only a possibility, it is impossible to refute.

Because no one can guarantee that 100% of the world's princes will send troops to serve the king.

Jia Xu finally said: "Since this is the case, why is the military advisor hesitating? At that time, as long as the prime minister is in position, the military advisor is the greatest hero who has followed the dragon. The leader of the three lords, who governs the world, must be owned by the military advisor. That's all for now. Please, military advisor decision."

Li Ru's heart skipped a beat, and he stared at Jia Xu for a long time without saying a word.

A bunch of things have been said before, all of which are nonsense.

Only this last fire is the real fire oil.

Although Li Ru tried his best to keep calm and analyze the gains and losses, he still couldn't help but whispered a few words in his heart, the leader of the three princes, the ruler of the world, the more he talked, the more he felt that there was a fire burning in his heart.

In troubled times, follow the Ming Lord to build a foundation that will last forever.

For a courtier like Li Ru to come to the master, the ultimate ideal is not exactly like this.

Start from the dragon and enjoy the honor of the ministers.

The head of the three princes, the ruler governs the world.

The chief counselor next to Li Ru and Dong Zhuo, the biggest ideal is not this.

It can be said that Jia Xu's fire really burned in Li Ru's heart.

It's just that the matter is too big to be sloppy.

Li Ru pondered for a while, then waved his hand and said, "You step back first, let me think about it."

Jia Xu didn't talk nonsense anymore, bowed her body long and backed away.

Everything that needs to be said has been said, and the next step is to see how Li Ru chooses.

It was late at night, and the hall was brightly lit.

Li Ru's face was cloudy and uncertain, and he paced back and forth in the hall with his hands behind his back.

The head of the three lords, ruler of the world, is certainly very attractive.

But the risks involved are huge, and as Dong Zhuo's chief think tank, Li Ru had to think clearly.

Once you set foot on this road of no return, it is impossible to turn back.

If the emperor is abolished and stands on his own, there will definitely be princes who will fight for the king. This is beyond doubt.

The only thing that is uncertain is how many princes will raise their troops.

If the Qin Wang's division cannot be repelled, all the achievements of the Xiliang Army will be wiped out.

Huge benefits are often accompanied by equally huge risks.

However, if you want to gain something, how can you do it without taking some risks.

Li Ru gritted his teeth and quickly made up his mind to enter the camp late at night to meet Dong Zhuo.

What Jia Xu said was right, since the Xiliang army could repel the Kwantung rebels once, there is no reason why they couldn't stop the second one.

Beigong, Jiade Hall.

"My lord, the military division is in a hurry to see you."

Dong Zhuo had already fallen asleep, but was woken up by the soldiers.

"Li Ru?"

Dong Zhuo frowned and said displeasedly: "Is there anything I can't talk about tomorrow, I have to see you in the middle of the night."

The soldier replied: "The villain doesn't know either. The military adviser only said that there is something urgent to see the lord."

Dong Zhuo yawned, sat up helplessly, and said, "Let him wait in the side hall."

The soldiers agreed and withdrew respectfully.

Dong Zhuo called out, and immediately eunuchs and maids came in to serve and dress them, and the living conditions were completely up to the standards of emperors and emperors. This also showed from the side that Dong Zhuo had long wanted to be an emperor himself.

If not, how could he enjoy this kind of living treatment according to the emperor's standard.

"Get out!"

After being fully dressed, Dong Zhuo waved back the eunuchs and maids, and then went out of the hall to the side hall to meet Li Ru.

The side hall is brightly lit.

Li Ru was pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back.

Seeing Dong Zhuo coming in, he hastily bowed his hands and saluted, "Ru, my lord."

Dong Zhuo waved his hand, took his seat at the main seat, and signaled Li Ru, who was at the bottom, to take his seat with a solemn hand, then yawned and asked, "Excuse me, Wen You entered the camp at night, I don't know what is the urgent need to report?"

"This……"

When the matter came to an end, Li Ru suddenly hesitated.

"Ok?"

Dong Zhuo asked in surprise, "What unspeakable addiction does Wen You have?"

Li Ru's thoughts turned, and he secretly said, he should stop and be disturbed by it. At this time, he could no longer shrink back, so he turned his heart and gritted his teeth and said: "My lord Mingjian, Ru entered the palace at night, there is indeed an urgent matter. report."

Dong Zhuo yawned again, raised his hand and said, "Please tell me, Wen You."

Li Rushi was shocked and said: "As the saying goes, there is no master in the world, and the virtuous live in it. Today, the Han Dynasty is declining, and people's minds are changing. The lord should not be in the ninth five-year period, and follow the world to become an immortal hegemony!"
