On October 23rd, Mi Ying gave birth to a daughter, named Yiwei.

On October 26, Xianglan gave birth to a son, named Zhi, Liu Bei’s second son.

Liu Bei had a son and a daughter, and he was very happy. He set up flowing banquets, and the whole city, young and old, could sit down by saying auspicious words, and steamed buns were distributed from house to house free of charge.

Officials from Youji either came to Wuji in person to congratulate, or sent envoys to deliver gifts, so the small city of Wuji was bustling with traffic.

As the news spread, another rumor spread rapidly.

Dong Zhuo asked in surprise: "You mean, Liu Bei will stay in Wuji for a hundred days?"

Li Ru's information was very good, so he got the secret report from Wuji as soon as possible.

"Yes, this is what Liu Bei said in front of the guests. He even claimed that he was tired of government affairs and wanted to be a rich man in Wuji."

"Haha! Rich man, do you believe this?"

Li Ru shook his head and said: "Of course I don't believe it, but my son-in-law thinks that as long as Taishan controls the province and the court, the lies will become true for him."

Dong Zhuo was no newbie, so he asked: "Wen You, now Guan Yu has thousands of cavalry approaching the Yellow River, the firearms camp is in front of him, and the royal guards are everywhere. How could you know that this is not a plan of the big-eared thief trying to catch him?"

Li Ru did not deny it, but he had his own ideas.

"To be fair, if Liu Bei gathers a large army and marches to the city, does Taishan think that the Liangzhou people can resist?"

"Difficult!"

"With the Yongzhou Department, Taishi Department and the Finance Department of the five major commercial banks, even if we rope in the Empress Dowager, can we compete with them?"

Dong Zhuo shook his head: "No."

Li Ru asked straightforwardly: "If Taishan is in power, can he let them go? Or, once Liu Bei comes to power, can he let the people of Liangzhou go?"

No matter who takes the stage, they will definitely not let each other go.

"Wenyou, what do you want to say?"

"Strike first to gain strength, strike later to suffer disaster! Occupy provinces, depose the Queen Mother, eliminate dissidents, and hold the Emperor hostage to order the princes."

Dong Zhuo was stunned, are you trying to flip the table?

"What will happen if the whole world rises up to attack?"

"Empty the Eastern Capital, return Mount Tai and the Emperor to Chang'an, and reshape the Han Dynasty's orthodoxy."

Dong Zhuo's mind was spinning rapidly. The only thing he feared was Liu Bei. If he didn't seize the opportunity, he would be dead.

However, at present, Liangzhou's military strength is slightly insufficient in the Eastern Capital City.

Li Ru was very familiar with his father-in-law's mentality, so he proposed to withdraw all troops and horses from Liangzhou from Hulao Pass and concentrate on solving the hostile forces in Luoyang.

"The Southeastern Allied Forces are coming, what should we do?"

"The Emperor issued an edict to make Liu Bei a general and ordered him to lead the Yongzhou Army to defend Luoyang."

Dong Zhuo thought he had heard wrongly and retorted: "How can Liu Bei agree?"

Li Ru smiled faintly and said: "It doesn't matter whether he agrees or not, the main thing is what do the coalition forces outside the Guan Guan think? Will they let him go?"

Dong Zhuo suddenly realized that the Yongzhou Clique and the Allied Forces were already suspicious of each other, so he handed over the Eastern Capital to Liu Bei and evacuated to Chang'an. The two sides would definitely fight to compete for this extremely luxurious city.

"Wenyou is so brilliant! In that case, I will quickly order Li Que to return to the Eastern Capital of the Army and order the Department of Rumors to monitor all departments and important personnel. They are not allowed in or out."

Liu Bei's pressure on Dong Zhuo is increasing, almost turning it into a nightmare. Li Ru's golden cicada escapes from its shell and borrows money to kill people, which may be able to reverse the unfavorable situation.

The Rumor Department was mobilized in large numbers, with special personnel watching the city gates and docks, and all kinds of panic gossip spread.

The second commander of Jinyiwei, Liu Bingkun had a premonition that the Liangzhou Clique might make big moves. Because Liu Bei was far away in Wuji, he immediately contacted Sun Xia to discuss countermeasures.

"So, Fatty Dong is going to take action."

After hearing Liu Bingkun's news, Sun Xia also sensed the danger and confirmed the other party's judgment.

"There are three reports a day of troops going east, and 80% of them are to transfer Li Que back to the army. According to the schedule, he can be back in five or six days."

Sun Xia then asked: "What is the prediction of the deduction department? How will Fatty Dong play this time?"

"If Li Que returns, the Liangzhou army is likely to abandon the eastern capital. Dong Zhuo is unwilling to give up power and will definitely hijack the province. In order to control the emperor Liu Xie, it is certain to get rid of the Queen Mother He."

"Fuck!" Sun Xia cursed, and then said: "Is this guy crazy?"

Liu Bingkun said: "Hulao Pass has become useless, and the long-term pain is worse than the short-term pain. They want us and the Kwantung Allied Forces to consume each other in order to reap the benefits."

"Hey, these horse thieves have wonderful ideas, let's just dream about it. However, it's best to give the palace a heads up and let the province make some preparations."

"No problem." Liu Bingkun licked his lips and asked, "Do you want to make those fools in the Fengwen Division suffer a little?"

Sun Xia laughed and said, "Okay, teach them a lesson so that they don't show their teeth and make others disgusted."

I heard that the Si Dongdu branch has four groups, east, west, north and south, with nearly a hundred people, and about two to three hundred people including peripheral personnel.

At nightfall, I heard that in the courtyard of the Si Xicheng Group, the backbone of the group was summarizing the day's work and intelligence, and assigning tasks for tomorrow.

"Ouch, ow!"

The two big wolfhounds suddenly started to whine.

"Someone is coming in! Copy the guy!"

Team leader Xicheng immediately drew his dagger, and five or six people in the lobby also held crossbows and shields against the door.

"Pah, pah,!"

The sound of stepping on tiles came from overhead.

"Above, shoot them to death!"

"Boom! Boom!"

Two fierce crossbow arrows shot towards the roof, "Puff!"

Two tiles were broken, and there was no movement on the roof. I don’t know if it was hit or not?

"Here comes someone! Where is the person?"

The team leader became anxious and called out to his subordinates, but there was no response from the courtyard.

Suddenly, there was a "crash" above the head, and then a bunch of items fell down, making a chaotic "ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping" sound.

Everyone turned around and saw four or five large fireworks bombs on the ground, spewing out large plumes of thick smoke.

The well-informed team leader thought it was a small explosive bag, and immediately shouted: "Gunpowder bombs, get down quickly!"

However, this thing did not explode, the smoke became thicker and thicker, and it was accompanied by a strong pungent smell.

"Ugh, vomit!"

Finally, one of the team members couldn't bear it anymore, opened the door bolt, opened the door and fled.

"Bang!"

Before this guy could even take a big breath of fresh air, he got hit on the head and lay numb on the ground.

Someone took the lead, and the rest of the backbone of the Hearing Department also ran out. Naturally, they all got beaten one by one when they went out.

I know there is danger outside, but I can't help but come out. The smell is so stinky that I feel completely uncontrollably nauseous.

It was not until the captain of the Jinyiwei action team, wearing a mask and goggles, dragged the pale-faced team leader out of the room that all 22 members of the Xicheng team were captured.

The captain of the red team of the Jinyi Guards left behind the leader of the Hearsay Department, took off his goggles, and cursed at the roof: "Fuck, Old Tang, this thing of yours is so perverted, it will make you want to vomit if you get even a little bit of it!"

The tactical support team is called the "Purple Team", which means mysterious and weird. Anyway, there are all kinds of weird things.

"What's the solution? The superiors said it won't hurt your life, so you can only do this... Actually, there is also a kind of itching powder. Once that thing explodes, tsk tsk!"

The captain of the red team had probably heard of the reputation of the "itchy bomb", so he couldn't help but shudder and immediately changed the topic.

"Stop talking, I'll take the day off tomorrow, you'd better torment others!"

Jinyiwei quickly cleaned the battlefield, moved all the materials, and at the same time hung all the more than 20 people under the eaves or on the trees in the courtyard.

It was not until the messenger from the Rumor Department who came to ask for the files discovered that all the members of the Xicheng Group were rescued.

Looking at the note left on the leader of the Xicheng team, "Let Fatty Dong be clearer!", Li Ru scolded everyone in the Rumor Department.

"Are you all pigs? You've been bragging all day long, and now why are you withering away? No matter what method you use, get your place back!"
