Sun Ce asked Dong Zhuo's daughter to be his wife, but Dong Zhuo just threw one of his daughters to Jiangdong. Nowadays, the married daughter is splashed with water, which has no effect on Dong Zhuo. For Sun Ce, it is very helpful.

Once Dong Zhuo appointed Sun Ce as the prefect of Wujun under the order of the emperor, it was a foregone conclusion that Sun Ce would be the prefect. In addition, Dong Zhuo's marriage to Sun Ce would be a direct help to Sun Ce and could intimidate the people who were ready to move in Jiangdong.

In just a short moment, Li Ru figured out the key.

But, what are the benefits of cooperation between the two parties to Dong Zhuo?

Is it worth it to win over a young Sun Ce? Li Ru did not make a decision in his heart. After thinking for a while, he looked at Zhu Zhi and said in a hurry: "I will report to the Prime Minister's daughter in person. At the same time, I will report this matter to the position of Wujun Prefect. As for when the Prime Minister can give a reply, it cannot be concluded for the time being. We must wait until the Prime Minister thinks thoroughly before we can give a reply."

Zhu Zhi smiled and said, "Thank you, sir, I'll go back to my residence and wait for news."

Li Ru nodded and stopped talking.

Zhu Zhi consciously said goodbye and left. After leaving the mansion, he stood outside the mansion and looked at the mansion of Li Ru, where Li Ru was, and a hint of disappointment appeared in his eyes.

Li Ru is Dong Zhuo's right-hand man, so there is no need to inquire, and Zhu Zhi also knows about Li Ru's situation.

However, the answer given by Li Ru was ambiguous, which made Zhu Zhi unable to believe Li Ru.

To achieve the purpose of this trip, we have to visit the rest of the people. Zhu Zhi returned to his residence. In the evening, his entourage came back to report the news and informed the important personnel around Dong Zhuo. Wang Lei, Wang Yun, Lu Bu and others were listed, and Zhu Zhi carefully selected the candidates. In the end, Zhu Zhi put Wang Lei first.

When Hulao Pass attacked Dong Zhuo, Wang Lei and Sun Jian were together, and both sides were considered friends. With this relationship, Zhu Zhi could have reason to go to see him.

The next morning, Zhu Zhi left his residence in a carriage and headed to the mansion where Wang Lei lived.

When he arrived outside the mansion, Zhu Zhi asked someone to hand over the famous sage.

Soon, an attendant quickly opened the door and took Zhu Zhi to the insider of the mansion. Zhu Zhi, led by the attendant, came to the entrance of the hall. He looked up and saw that Wang Lei was clearly above. Seeing Wang Lei, Zhu Zhi quickly walked a few steps, came to the hall, clasped his fists and said, "Zhu Zhi, Zhu Junli, pay homage to Lord Wang."

"sit!"

Wang Lei waved his hand and looked at Zhu Zhi.

Zhu Zhi was in his early thirties, with thin cheeks, eight-character eyebrows, and bright eyes, giving people a feeling of decisiveness and firmness.

In history, Zhu Zhi was the first person to follow Sun Jian.

Even a high-ranking official under Sun Quan's command was rarely a good death. Zhou Yu, Lu Su and Lu Meng died early, and the later governor Lu Xun died in fear and anger. Zhang Zhao, the leader of civil servants, was also desolate in his later years, but Zhu Zhi was different.

Zhu Zhixian followed Sun Jian and assisted Sun Ce after Sun Jian's death.

When Sun Ce died of illness, Zhu Zhi assisted Sun Quan and tried his best to stabilize the situation in Jiangdong. Sun Quan was promoted to King of Wu, appointed Zhu Zhi as General of Anguo, and was given a golden seal and purple ribbon, and was transferred to the title of Marquis of Piling. Every time Zhu Zhi met with Sun Quan, Sun Quan personally met him, and gave Zhu Zhi generous rewards, which were highly favored.

Wang Lei asked: "After Brother Wentai passed away, Sun Ce brought people back to Jiangdong. Now my family is good?"

Zhu Zhi smiled slightly and replied, "Report to the Lord, everything is fine. After the lord returned, he had moved all his family to Qua County, defected to his uncle Wu Jing, and now he is living in Qua County."

Wang Lei nodded and said, "Jun Li assisted Sun Ce, and should be by Sun Ce's side. But he came to Chang'an this time. I'm afraid something is going on?"

Zhu Zhi sighed lightly, looking helpless.

Wang Lei asked: "What happened?"

Zhu Zhi looked solemn and said, "The situation at home is fine, but the lord's situation is not very good. There are two things to come to Chang'an this time. One is to ask for the position of the prefect of Wujun. The lord stays in Qu'a and lives under someone else's roof. The morale of the army begins to collapse. If this continues, chaos will surely occur. At that time, the Sun family's foundation will be destroyed."

"As long as you get the position of prefect of Wu County, the lord can lead troops to conquer Wu County, and promote the Sun family's foundation. In this way, the first lord can rest in peace under the nine springs."

Zhu Zhi paused for a moment and said, "Secondly, the lord plans to seek Dong Zhuo's daughter and get Dong Zhuo's support. The lord is in a difficult situation and wants to make a comeback, so he can only make this bad decision."

Unlike his previous statement when facing Li Ru, Zhu Zhi did not exaggerate and truthfully told Sun Ce's situation.

When Zhu Zhi talked to Li Ru, Li Ru was Dong Zhuo's person. Li Ru had to let him see Sun Ce's strength so that Li Ru thought he could win over Sun Ce and was worth the effort to win over Sun Ce. However, Wang Lei was different. If you want to get Wang Lei's support, you can only pretend to be pitiful and tell the truth. This is enough.

After hearing this, Wang Lei took the initiative to say, "If you want to see Dong Zhuo, I can recommend it. But are you sure that just these conditions can convince Dong Zhuo? Especially when I recommend Dong Zhuo for you, there is also a problem. Li Ru, who is under Dong Zhuo's account, is not in line with me, and I have always wanted to kill me. Once I recommend Dong Zhuo for you, your suggestion will probably be opposed by Li Ru."

Zhu Zhi frowned, but he didn't expect that there was still this key.

Li Ru opposed it, things will definitely be difficult to handle.

Zhu Zhi no longer concealed it and said, "Before I came to visit the adults, Li Ru sent someone to invite me to the mansion and asked me why I came to Chang'an. I told me about seeking marriage and prefect position, but I didn't tell the truth. I lied that the lord had tens of thousands of soldiers and deliberately scared Li Ru. At that time, Li Ru responded that he would report to Dong Zhuo first and then make a decision."

Wang Lei said: "You did a good job. Only when Sun Ce has the strength can Dong Zhuo win over it. But Li Ru summoned you, you can't be sure what Li Ru meant."

Zhu Zhi had a bitter face and hoped to get Wang Lei's help.

Wang Lei thought for a while and continued, "Li Ru's attitude is uncertain, so it is difficult for me to recommend it to you. If Li Ru does not agree to the marriage and I will help you again, it will have no impact. Anyway, it will be blocked by Li Ru. If Li Ru agrees, for you, it will be the best result, because Li Ru is the adviser who influences Dong Zhuo's decision."

After a pause, Wang Lei said sincerely: "My opinion is to wait for the change for the time being and wait for Li Ru to make plans. And when you leave, try to pretend that I will not help you, so as not to backfire."

Zhu Zhi was grateful and said, "Thank you, Lord Wang!"

Wang Lei said: "No, I can help, so I will help you naturally."

Zhu Zhi said goodbye and left. After returning to his residence, he did not visit the other officials. He also agreed with Wang Lei's suggestion and decided on the next plan after Li Ru's decision came out.
