34. The conspiracy and the conspiracy behind the conspiracy (Part 1)
Let's turn the clock back twelve hours (hour: I didn't make any mistakes this time...).
"Eun Xiang, although we have an alliance with Bingzhou, it is enough to be able to share intelligence resources with them. Why do we have to spend so much money? I really don't see what benefits we can get from this. Even if we don't
I hope Xianbei will grow stronger again, but even if they grow stronger, we will not be the first ones to attack them."
Li Ru frowned slightly, but this did not mean that he was relatively calm at the moment. In fact, if his self-cultivation was not high enough and the city was deep enough, he might have jumped three feet high at this moment.
"Surprised?" If Li Ru was calm on the outside but turbulent on the inside, then Dong Zhuo was completely consistent on the surface - if Dong Zhuo's hair was shaved off, perhaps a Buddhist monk would think that the person in front of him was the reincarnation of an Arhat.
"En Xiang is indeed a veteran on the battlefield. This move made Ru feel caught off guard."
Li Ru shook his head and responded with a wry smile. Yes, could he not be surprised? Dong Zhuo had just told him that he would select the best 10,000 men from the Flying Bear Army, the most elite Xiliang cavalry regiment under his command, and lend them to Li Shushi.
In order to allow Li Shushi to have more sufficient manpower to deal with various forces in the Western Regions.
Such an idea has exceeded the limit that the word bold can describe!
If Dong Zhuo's majesty was not too grand, Li Ru might consider seeing if there was something wrong with the other person's brain.
But since it was Dong Zhuo who spoke, a leader of the Xiliang Army who seemed to be very obedient to him, but actually had a very strong personal opinion, so once Dong Zhuo was sure of something, it would be difficult for anyone to sway him.
his decision.
Even Li Ru, who had a very close relationship with him and relied on him very much.
"Look, even Wenyou looks like this, so I guess that little guy will be even more surprised, hahahaha!"
Dong Zhuo's hearty laughter echoed in the empty room, and with this hearty laughter, Li Ru frowned again.
"Eun Xiang, is it worth throwing away such a big investment?"
"If I give him more of the wealth I gained from Luoyang, I believe he will never be very grateful to me. Either he will think that this is his share of the adventure, or he will wonder if I have hidden any evil intentions in it.
Or he is planning to play a trick to move trouble eastward. Or even if he can't tell it himself, his subordinates will definitely be able to remind him. As you analyzed to me before, I remember you once said that Cheng Zhongde and Jia Wenhe
It shouldn't be much worse than you."
"...Yes, although Ru is confident enough in his own strength, he is not so arrogant that he doubts the strength of others. So at such a sensitive moment, Ru asked himself whether he would feel happy because of the unexpected reward.
Doubt it, then it should be natural for other people to have the same doubt, and what Eun Sang thinks is indeed very likely to happen."
"Look. So, I want that little guy to admit my love, but I can't let him misunderstand my intentions."
"Then why did Enxiang insist on sending this favor to Li Zhoumu? As long as His Majesty is still in our hands, we don't need to use this method to maintain our relationship. It's okay even if he suffers a little loss, right?
.”
"If you always suffer small losses, they will accumulate into a big sum. Although the opponent cannot stand with the coalition forces for many reasons, it will also be detrimental to us if we force the opponent to stand in the middle, let alone if the opponent takes advantage of us
It's not a good thing to sit back and reap the benefits when both sides suffer losses with the coalition. You didn't teach me these words at the beginning. And now that I have made this realization, I also need to think more about your future.
"
"Enxiang... we, we are all willing to follow Enxiang."
"No, no, no, you still have to maintain the glory of the Xiliang Army for me. I don't want you to tell me that the title of 'The First Strongest Army of the Han Dynasty' was used by that little guy when I see you underground one day.
The Bingzhou Army snatched it away."
"But without Enxiang's leadership, those guys... those guys would only be afraid..."
"There is nothing we can do about it. Look, even you and I can't solve all the problems. So I chose a smarter and more ambitious emperor. For the sake of my throne and this empire, even if
I know that some things may cause controversy, but if he still has a little ambition, he will naturally do it. Besides, I have done enough for him. The young eagle will forget if he always stays under the wings of his parents.
The ability to fly.”
"but……"
"I know your situation. Although you did the thing, the order was given by me, and I need to take responsibility. Think about the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army, Guan Hai, and Liao Chun can be considered outstanding under that little guy.
, that guy named Zhang Yan is doing quite well in the clouds, and the group of loaches in Baibo Valley have now found a new career. He is an emotional person. "
"I always feel like I've been given up by Eun Sang."
"Don't worry, no one can kill me, Dong Zhuo, before I feel that the little emperor is capable enough to take over everything, so we still have a long period of time to continue working hard. Maybe one day we will have a chance to fight back.
What about Zhongyuan? So now I look like a puppy abandoned by its owner, isn’t it too cowardly? This is not the Li Wenyou I know!”
Li Ru agreed to Dong Zhuo's explanation on the surface, but no one could know what he was thinking in his heart, because only he who was closest to Dong Zhuo could clearly feel that Dong Zhuo would have such a decadent behavior that was completely different from what he had before.
The idea came after that shocking battle. Every time he thought of Dong Zhuo being struck by thunder, his whole body was blackened and miserable, and when he thought of the Xiliang soldiers who sacrificed their lives for Dong Zhuo, Li Ru felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.
The feeling, sour, sad...
"What's more...if I were not the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty, maybe it would be good to be a general who conquered the West..."
Recalling Dong Zhuo's last thoughts in that conversation in his mind, Li Ru sighed softly in his heart, but the smile on his face became brighter, as if the fat hen hidden behind him was not just one.
There are three of them.
Hey, hey, Su Xiaololi, you see, the results of stealing chickens have surpassed yours~
"Actually, Mr. Xiangguo hopes that Mr. Li can do a little favor."
"Oh? As long as I can do my best, I will do my best."
"No, no, no, it's not something too difficult for Mr. Zhou Mu. It's just a trivial matter that Mr. Zhou Mu can do with a little effort."
"The trivial things that the prime minister talks about are big things to the common people in the world, but it makes Li a little curious."
"Haha, I heard that Lai Ying'er Lai, who was famous in Luoyang in the past, has been taken into a private house by your Excellency. Your Excellency, the Prime Minister, has long heard of Lai Ying'er Lai's reputation for singing, dancing and playing the piano, so he hopes to invite you to perform for our Xiliang Army general before he leaves.
A song."
Hearing Li Ru's request, Li Shushi frowned slightly. Although the relationship between him and Lai Ying'er was innocent, in the eyes of outsiders, this girl was already a part of his house. If a guest came to Li Shushi's home, then
Even if Li Shushi ordered Ying'er to accompany guests to bed, it did not violate the customs of this era, because concubines were originally men's "goods."
But if you let Lai Ying'er perform in public, then this move is a bit rude, because it obviously violates Li Shushi's right to dispose of Lai Ying'er, or at least it makes Li Shushi, the owner of Lai Ying'er, feel a lot.
Big trouble.
What's more, Li Shushi knew very well that the real ownership of Lai Ying'er was not in his hands. Even if a certain loli patted her pretty breasts and said that Lai Ying'er could warm his bed, if he really agreed to the other party's request,
If so, Li Shushi couldn't guarantee that he would suffer inhumane treatment at night.
It is said that a certain loli manages her Lily Palace very well. Isn’t it true that all the girls in the palace are super harmonious!
"If Mr. Zhou Mu is interested, I think Mr. Xiangguo will definitely welcome Mr. Zhou Mu to participate."
Li Ru saw a hesitant look on Li Shushi's face, and the smile on her face gained an inexplicable look. Then the smile on her face became brighter. Apparently he had stolen two more just now.
Chicken.
Li Shushi finally agreed to Li Ru's proposal. Although Dong Zhuo has shown strong lust in all aspects recently, no matter how strong the lust is, Dong Zhuo still has a bottom line, that is, he will never touch his subordinates or
The private property of friends, including wives, concubines, and property. As for Ma Qing and Cai Yan, both of them can be regarded as widowers, so Dong Zhuo no longer has to take care of them. This means that Li Shushi does not believe that Dong Zhuo intends to take the opportunity to get involved in Ying'er.
In addition, Li Shushi was also very interested in seeing what Dong Zhuo planned to let Lai Ying'er perform. He actually proposed it to him so solemnly, so that even if something unexpected happened, he could be a "hero" to save the beauty.
.
(Hey, hey, author, your quotation marks are completely redundant!)
Of course, while Li Shushi and Li Ru were having cordial and friendly talks, there were also scenes of staggering secret plots going on in other places.
"My lord, the information obtained from various parties can confirm that Dong Zhuo indeed intends to have His Majesty visit Chang'an and at the same time completely abandon Luoyang and implement measures to fortify the walls and clear the country. The responsibility of escorting His Majesty is given to the troops of Bingzhou Mu Li Xue, presumably
As long as Li Xue reaches Jingzhao, Dong Zhuo can retreat slowly."
"Can we create some discord between those two?"
"I'm afraid it will be difficult. Neither party is impulsive, and Li Ru, Cheng Li, Jia Xu and other resourceful people should not be underestimated either."
"Really? That's really a pity. Forget it, tell Tian Yuanhao and the backup plan will be implemented."
"Should we start?"
"It's time..."
PS: Two great politicians and military strategists passed away today - one is Cao Cao Mengde from the Eastern Han Empire, and the other is Gaius Julius Caesar from the Western Roman Empire. They are both figures who created the era.
, are also great dictators.
PS2: The plan for the fake medical advertisement is well said: the program will stop airing in early March because it will be March 15th, and then it can start a new cycle after March 20th.
I personally thought that the words of this planner should be the biggest highlight of the entire March 15 party.
As for the after-sales service issues of Apple mobile phones, it seems that Apple NC fans would care about such trivial problems. Hmm...
