When Lu Bu heard this, he shivered and became scared.

He was really unhappy with this action. If it weren't for his lower body being out of control, having sex with Dong Zhuo's singer, and being fooled by Wang Yun, he would never dare to take action.

Look at the ten counties.

Which one is not the old subordinate of Dong Zhuo, and which one is not the old subordinate of Zhang Xiu?

Although Lu Bu is strong, he is just an outsider.

The Grand Sima, General of the Cavalry, and Zhang Xiu, the Marquis of Luyang. In fact, he was Dong Zhuo's powerful successor.

.............

When Dong Zhuogang was killed and Jia Xu spread rumors in the city.

Li Ru's Mansion.

Li Ru is not a fake disease, but is really infected with wind and cold, so he is in bed and recuperating.

In the bedroom, the medicine smell was strong. Li Ru lay sickly on the bed, covered with a thin quilt. He suddenly heard the noise outside the mansion.

"Lu Bu and Wang Yun conspired to kill the prime minister and sent troops to kill all the people of Liangzhou!!!"

Li Ru suddenly shivered and sat up in shock when he was sick. He ordered someone to call the housekeeper and go to inquire about the situation. Soon after, the news came, Luoyang was in chaos, and Dong Zhuo's life and death.

I don't know.

Li Ru smiled bitterly and said, "There will be no wind in the hole. Now Luoyang is so strong. If this kind of thing had not really happened, there would be no such rumors. Alas! The lord is dead!"

"Master, what should we do now?" The butler said with a pale face. If Wang Yun and Lu Bu were to cheat the people of Liangzhou, Li Ru would definitely be the first to be the one who was the butler, of course, was so.

Li Ru said, "We Liangzhou people cannot collapse. Maybe the lord will die, which is still a good thing for the Liangzhou people."

Li Ru did not expect that Lu Bu and Wang Yun had conspired. He just guessed that Lu Bu might have had an affair with Dong Zhuo's concubine, but he could not guess that things would immediately progress to this point.

The incident happened only three days ago, and Dong Zhuo didn't know who had an affair with his concubine.

Regarding rebellion, Lu Bu was indeed quick and fast.

but.....

In Li Ru's mind, the figure of [Zhang Xiu] couldn't help but appear.

"The lord is old and has many unrighteous actions, which makes people resentful inside and outside. Zhang Xiu is old and strong, and has a great prestige. Lu Bu and Wang Yun must be no match for him."

Thinking of this, Li Ru said to the butler: "Open the tunnel. Select the followers. We leave from the North City Gate and arrive at Liuzhuang. We then send someone to inquire about Jia Xu's situation and contact Xiao Guan and Zhang Xiu."

"promise."

When the butler heard this, his eyes lit up and immediately responded. Then, Li Ru stood up regardless of his illness, walked out of the Li Mansion with his family and his confidant entourage, and arrived at another ordinary mansion not far away. After disguising himself, he left the North City Gate.

Dong Zhuo is a man of unrighteous behavior, while Li Ru is smart and cautious, so of course he has a backup plan. He has been digging this tunnel for a year or two. The guard of the North City Gate is also his close friend.

When leaving the city, after Li Ru had a chat with the guard of the North City Gate, the guard simply took his family and stayed with Li Ru to Liuzhuang outside the North City Gate to contact Zhang Xiu.

If Zhang Xiu was not there, perhaps many people in Liangzhou would be optimistic about Lu Bu. But since Zhang Xiu was there, no one would be optimistic about Lu Bu.

Liuzhuang is a manor that looks ordinary. Outside Luoyang City, there are many such manors. But in fact, it was the manor that Li Ru asked others to prepare for himself.

There are armored soldiers guarding outside Liuzhuang. In the living room of the manor, Li Ru and Xiong Bing sat together in the north gate guard. Li Ru was wearing thick clothes and coughed from time to time.

After hearing Xiong Bing's report, Li Ru suddenly shivered.

"Sir, are you cold? Come and prepare the charcoal fire." Xiong Bing quickly said with concern and called the charcoal fire. Although the charcoal fire was a bit weak at this time, considering that Li Ru was a scholar, he was sick again...

Li Ru shook his head, stopped Xiong Bing, and sighed: "It's not because of the cold body, but because of the cold heart."

Xiong Bing felt quite empathetic when he heard this and shared the same hatred for the enemy: "What the sir said is that the Prime Minister treats Lu Bu very well, but Lu Bu joins Wang Yun to kill the Prime Minister, which is really heartbreaking."

Speaking of this, Xiong Bing picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip of water.

Li Ru shook his head and said, "I am not a matter of being cold-hearted. Lu Bu is a wolf, and he is a villain. I have long persuaded the Prime Minister, but Lu Bu is not trustworthy, but the Prime Minister does not listen. Finally, today is the Grand Sima who is cold-hearted."

Speaking of this, Li Ru whispered: "Things suddenly happened, and I had no time to take my family away. However, Jia Xu took the Grand Sima, the family of the shogunate, and the family of the generals of Xiliang, and ordered Taishi Ci and Huaxiong to occupy Yangwu City. He spread rumors in the city that Wang Yun and Lu Bu were going to kill all the people of Liangzhou. Isn't this too calm?"

"Ah!!!!" Xiong Bing's teacup fell down and screamed. Then he said in panic: "Sir, Grand Sima has a share, too?"

"I didn't say that." Li Ru shook his head, and then said in a deep sense: "But the Grand Sima might have noticed it in advance and made a backup plan."

Although I have no share, it may be a sight on the wall...

Xiong Bing fell silent.

"But this is also a good thing." Li Ru let out a long breath, pinched the teacup and took a sip of hot water.

"What do you mean?" Xiong Bing raised his head in confusion and looked at Li Ru.

"This means that the Grand Sima has ambitions long ago." Li Ru smiled, then lowered his head and took a sip of hot water before saying: "As soon as the Prime Minister dies, he can stabilize the overall situation and ensure the interests of our Liangzhou or Liangzhou people, then the only Grand Sima will be the Grand Sima. If the Grand Sima has no ambitions, it will be a disaster."

"He is from Liangzhou. He is naturally standing with us."

"If Wang Yun and Lu Bu were allowed to take power, or Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and Sun Jian were allowed to attack Sili, all of us would have to die without a place to bury."

"Why are the Grand Sima more than ten times better than the Prime Minister?"

"Wouldn't it be a good thing for us to support the Grand Sima and accept the legacy left by the Prime Minister?"

Li Ru had feelings for Dong Zhuo, and was a little sad about Dong Zhuo's death. But what he cared more was whether his talents could be displayed.

Now that Dong Zhuo is dead, it would be great if Zhang Xiu could get up, right?

Xiong Bing couldn't help but feel excited when he heard this and nodded repeatedly.

"That's it. If Zhang Xiu replaces Dong Zhuo, everyone will have a good life."

After that, there was nothing to say. Xiong Bing led the troops, and the sick Li Ru, who was carrying the sick and weak, used his small number of troops to bypass Luoyang City and headed south to the nearby Yangwu City.

In Yangwu City, Jia Xu acted calmly.

Not to mention the news that he sent someone to report to Zhang Xiu. His more important task was to arrange the defense issues in Yangwu City, dispatch food and grass, and write letters to Xu Rong, Huang Zhong, Ji Ling, Hu Zhen, Fan Chou and others.

Hulao Pass, Nanyang County, Hedong County, and Henei County are all under the control of Zhang Xiu. Zhang Xiu himself is in Xiaoguan, so he can intimidate and control the three auxiliary people.

Jia Xu even calmly wrote letters to the county magistrates of Henan County, asking them to obey Zhang Xiu's orders.

This time it was like a family division.

Dong Zhuo died. Wang Yun and Lu Bu got Luoyang City and the emperor.

Zhang Xiu has obtained ten counties and is about to rob Luoyang.

When Jia Xu heard that Li Ru was coming, he immediately put down his work temporarily and went out of the city gate to welcome Li Ru in to sit in the living room of the mansion where he was temporarily staying.

As for the little force of Xiong Bing and Xiong Bing, Jia Xu asked Taishi Ci to incorporate it.

After the two sat down, Jia Xu immediately said, "Things happened suddenly, and there was chaos in Luoyang City. It's great that sir can be safe and sound."

Li Ru, wearing a coat, had a pale face, bowed and thanked him, "Thank you."

Then, Li Ru said directly: "After entering the city, I saw that the city was prepared, with troops and vehicles as numerous as cows and grains. Did the Grand Sima prepare long ago?"

Jia Xu nodded calmly when he heard this, "Dong Gong is not a wise lord, and the Grand Sima is not a subordinate. How can the Grand Sima serve Dong Gong? Lu Bu is a wolf, Wang Yun is loyal, and the Grand Sima goes out to the west of Luoyang to town Xiaoguan. Luoyang is empty, how can Lu Bu not kill the prime minister?"

Speaking of this, Jia Xu sincerely bowed and said, "Mr. I have the talent of [the king and the master]. Once Mr. Dong dies, the land of the ten counties will be owned by the Grand Sima. Now the world is in a turmoil and heroes are in use. Mr. Wan Wang can do his best to assist the Grand Sima in slaughtering the world."

Li Ru was also restrained when he heard this, bowed his hands and replied seriously: "Promise."

Jia Xu couldn't help but smile.

The rise and fall of a country is not the power of one person.

When Zhang Xiu is in power, the more talents the better. Even less talented people are not enough. It is great to be able to take Li Ru in.

Jia Xu then saw that Li Ru was sick and weak, so he did not dare to neglect him. He asked his confidant to settle Li Ru happily, and looked for famous doctors to take care of Li Ru in person.

Jia Xu does everything right.

.............

Inside Xiaoguan.

Since Zhang Xiu retreated from Jieting and returned to Xiaoguan, he has been plaguing here. He trained his troops every day and was busy.

This behavior of occupying the magpie's nest made Xiao Guan Duwei Dong Xun couldn't help but complain.

Their Xiliang soldiers were fierce, but they often did not train. Now, Zhang Xiu trained his soldiers like this, was he still idle? He had to train his soldiers every day.

However, practicing soldiers is the general's business, but Zhang Xiu himself practices martial arts and reads military books every day.

This kind of life is really boring. Zhang Xiu regretted it a little. He would have known that he would have brought some beautiful concubines to Xiaoguan.

With his current identity, it is not a big deal to bring girls in the army.

It was noon this day. The sun was midday, and although it was autumn, it was a little hot. After Zhang Xiu finished practicing a single shirt, sweat wet his body and his clothes were pressed on his skin, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

Zhang Xiu threw the big gun to his personal soldiers, went to fetch water, took a shower, changed his clothes and sat in the corridor, which was boring.

"Lu Bu, Wang Yun, when will you do it?"

Zhang Xiu was very upset.

Although he knew that Lu Bu and Wang Yun would definitely take action, he didn't know when he would take action.

The longer time passes, the more changes there will be. This is not a good thing.

At this time, more than ten cavalry came from the southwest. These cavalry were elite cavalry, but after a long distance of riding, they were all thin, black and weak.
