Chapter 143 Move the capital to Chang'an

Luoyang, the Prime Minister's Office.

Dong Zhuo's eyes were gloomy and horrifying. He leaned forward, supported his hands on the desk, and roared, "What's going on, what's going on? Why are you the only one coming back? How did Li Jue and Guo Si die? How could Gu's tens of thousands of Xiliang troops and the elite "Flying Bear Army" under Gu's command fail? I can't explain clearly, Gu will let you die without life today."

The roars were like a wild beast roaring, echoing in the hall.

Lu Bu knelt in the hall, his heart was cold.

He was the adopted son of Dong Zhuo. He thought he had some family affection, but he did not expect that his position in Dong Zhuo's heart was so low, which was the result of "death and life". In Lu Bu's heart, his help to Dong Zhuo's status was incomparable. Without him helping Dong Zhuo solve Ding Yuan, there would be no Dong Zhuo now. Therefore, when he heard Dong Zhuo's words, Lu Bu felt very unhappy.

However, Lu Bu did not show it, lowered his head and did not speak.

Dong Zhuo was even more furious, slapped the desk table and said in a deep voice: "Tell me, what's going on?" Thinking of the angry place, Dong Zhuo stood up suddenly, and with a clang, the long sword on his waist had been pulled out.

"Chak!!"

With a sword, the table was chopped in half.

Dong Zhuo was even more angry, pointed his sword at Lu Bu, and roared loudly: "Say!"

Lu Bu sighed lightly and said helplessly: "Report to the Prime Minister, this is the matter. Last night, the camp suddenly caught fire, and the soldiers in the camp began to put out the fire, but when they put out the fire, they found that Li Jue was killed and Guo Si was also killed. At this time, the coalition forces actually broke through Hulao Pass, and this is the matter."

In fact, Lu Bu said such words no less than five times.

But Dong Zhuo didn't believe it.

This situation is too strange and it is impossible for such a thing to happen.

Li Ru sat next to him and suddenly asked, "General Lu, tell me what happened in the camp during the day."

Lu Bu said what happened during the day before the fire, nothing more than training and other things happened. After listening to it, Li Ru carefully analyzed it, but Li Ru still did not find the suspicious point. Therefore, Li Ru asked again: "What happened the day before, please tell me carefully."

"yes!"

Lu Bu carefully explained what happened the day before, including the news of his defeat in leading troops to fight.

Li Ru's eyes lit up and said, "Let's explain carefully the situation of sending troops and defeat!"

When Lu Bu saw the gleam in Li Ru's eyes, his heart skipped a beat. Could it be that the defeat of the army had something to do with him? No, it was impossible! Lu Bu comforted himself repeatedly, took a few breaths to calm down his mind, and then carefully told him the situation of leading his troops to attack Cao Cao's camp, but finally he was ambushed at Cao Cao's camp.

After hearing this, Li Ru gradually grasped the context of the matter and asked again: "What's the matter with the so-called internal and external cooperation? You didn't report this."

Lu Bu had no choice but to tell the matter again.

"I understand! Alas..."

Li Ru sighed lightly and looked at Lu Bu sympathetically.

This kid is a tragedy!

Li Ru's eyes turned and bowed to Dong Zhuo, "The Prime Minister, this time the defeat was because General Lu led his troops to attack Cao Cao's camp. Cao Cao ambushed General Lu, but did not kill him. He deliberately let General Lu retreat and return. At that time, Cao Cao asked someone to install allied troops among the retreating soldiers. After General Lu returned to the camp, no one checked the soldiers one by one, which led to the people hiding in the retreating team assassinating Li Jue and Guo Si and setting fire to ignite the entire camp. Although he didn't know how the other party completed it, it would be clear that they would be connected together."

After hearing this, Dong Zhuo was so angry that he screamed.

Tens of thousands of troops!

He strode to Lu Bu, aimed the sword in his hand at Lu Bu's throat, and shouted: "What do you say now? If you hadn't impulsively led troops to attack Cao Cao's camp, Hulao Pass would be unbreakable. Now that the army has been defeated, Hulao Pass has been destroyed, and the coalition forces are coming in full swing, what do you want us to do? Stupid, idiot! waste!"

Dong Zhuo was angry and kept yelling.

At this moment, Lu Bu really lowered his head.

Unexpectedly, he really attracted the things, and everything started because of him. Lu Bu felt sad and said helplessly: "The general was eager to make contributions to his adoptive father, but he led to the destruction of the army. He was unforgettable to death and was willing to accept the treatment."

"You deserve to die!"

Dong Zhuo shouted, "Come here!"

The soldier ran in quickly, and Dong Zhuo scolded: "Pull it down and behead it!"

Lu Bu let the soldiers pull them out, and at this time, Li Ru advised: "Let's wait!"

Dong Zhuo asked: "Wenyou, what's wrong with you?"

Li Ru took a deep breath and said, "Prime Minister, Li Jue and Guo Si were killed, and tens of thousands of troops were destroyed. The matter has been completed, and it will be useless to hold the responsibility accountable. Killing General Lu can only make the enemy happy. At present, what we need to do is to focus on the present and eliminate the consequences of the matter. We will fight against the coalition forces in the future. General Lu is very skilled in martial arts, and he is enough to shock the coalition forces. Therefore, I suggest leaving General Lu to make meritorious contributions."

"snort……"

Dong Zhuo snorted, his expression cold.

Lu Bu knelt on the ground with a pounce and said, "Entertainment Father, please allow the child to commit crimes and make meritorious service."

Li Ru said again: "Prime Minister, give him a chance!"

Dong Zhuo said in a deep voice: "Diet crime can be avoided, but live crime cannot be escaped! If you drag it down, you will be punished with thirty military sticks." This order was issued, and Lu Bu hurriedly kowtowed to thank him. He had no doubt that Dong Zhuo wanted to kill him. As long as he blocked Dong Zhuo's path forward, no matter who it was, he would be ruthlessly killed, not to mention that he was just the most inconspicuous adopted son under Dong Zhuo's command.

The soldiers, Lu Bu, dragged them down, Dong Zhuo looked at Li Ru and said worriedly: "Wenyou, without Hulao Pass, the coalition forces are coming again, how can we resist?"

Li Ru said in his heart: "The Prime Minister, with the situation in Luoyang, I'm afraid it can't be stopped. It's not that our troops are not strong enough, but that many ministers in the court surrendered to us on the surface, but secretly had other thoughts. They lived in Luoyang for generations and had a deep foundation in Luoyang. Once the coalition forces come, these people will definitely use their own strength to help the coalition forces open Luoyang."

Dong Zhuo agreed very much and asked quickly: "What should I do?"

"Move the capital to Chang'an!"

Li Ru narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "We moved the capital to Chang'an. On the one hand, Chang'an is close to Xiliang, which is conducive to our defense; on the other hand, Chang'an is the new capital. The court officials moved without foundation and without strength, it becomes a duckweed on the water, which is difficult to pose a threat; in the end, moving the capital can better demonstrate the majesty of the prime minister, intimidate the court officials, and make the emperor obedient."

Dong Zhuo smiled strongly on his face, and he raised a thumbs up and praised: "Wenyou, you are really the think tank of your true nature. With you, your true nature's hegemony is as stable as Mount Tai."

Li Ru bowed and said, "The Prime Minister is wrong!"

After a pause, Li Ru said again: "About Lu Bu, I hope that the Prime Minister can win over this person. This person is ambitious and talented, and is not enough to achieve great things. However, Lu Bu's martial arts are amazing, but he can become the sharpest weapon in the hands of the Prime Minister."

Dong Zhuo said: "I understand, Wenyou should be assured."
