After hearing that Li Ru rejected the suggestion that he would not need equipment and only recruit soldiers and horses first, Liu Cheng suddenly changed his color!
It’s really exciting!
His time is quite tight now, and he wants to get some benefits from it when the Kwantung Allied Forces come to attack Luoyang.
If you want to reap benefits from such a large-scale war, you must naturally have sufficient capital.
As a result, even though he had lowered his demands to such a low level, Li Ru still refused to let go. How could Liu Cheng not be angry?
"Did Mr. Dong and Wen You no longer trust me because the emperor summoned me the day before yesterday and confirmed my identity as Prince Jing of Zhongshan? Are they alienated from me?"
Liu Cheng looked at Li Ru and said angrily.
Li Ru was shocked again and a little dazed at the same time.
Obviously Liu Cheng's reaction at this time once again exceeded his expectations.
In any case, he never expected that Liu Cheng would directly speak out clearly about this matter that he considered to be a taboo!
He had always believed that even if Liu Cheng was aware of this and noticed it, he would just pretend not to know, and then quietly act according to the arrangements of himself and his father-in-law.
Liu Cheng once again acted out of common sense and disrupted Li Ru's plan again.
This made Li Ru panic and didn't know how to deal with it for a while.
"No, no, Kede, don't think too much about it."
Li Ru was in a hurry and quickly spoke to comfort Liu Cheng.
"If not, why wouldn't you even agree to my expansion of a thousand soldiers and horses that don't need weapons and armor for the time being?
Wenyou, tell me, how can I not think too much?
I think Brother Niu has also told you what happened that day. Under the circumstances, what else could I do except follow the will?
This is a conspiracy, a conspiracy against Duke Dong!"
Liu Cheng pressed forward step by step, refusing to give in an inch.
Li Ru is indeed smart, but his on-the-spot reaction is a bit slow.
At this time, I was aroused by Liu Cheng's repeated unreasonable remarks, and I immediately didn't know how to deal with it.
There was actually sweat breaking out on his forehead.
It can be seen that Li Ru is really anxious.
"Ked, things are really not what we thought. It is indeed because we don't have good equipment.
I feel that unequipped soldiers and horses, even if summoned, have little combat effectiveness and have no effect.
All I wanted to do was wait until it was time to have equipment and let Kede expand his army, but I didn’t want Kede to misunderstand...
Since Kede insists on doing this, let's gather a thousand soldiers and horses first.
I'll wait for a while to bring these equipment to you, they must be very good ones."
Li Ru repeatedly comforted Liu Cheng and agreed to Liu Cheng's request to expand the army.
It was actually at this time that Liu Cheng used words and unexpected methods to confuse Li Ru and force him here, leaving him with no way to refuse.
Of course, the more important thing is that both Dong Zhuo and Li Ru cherished Liu Cheng's martial arts skills and did not want to lose such a strong general who could rival Lu Bu.
In addition, this time it was just the little emperor and others who quietly made a stumbling block on this matter.
There is no real connection between Liu Cheng and the emperor, or between those who have always been a little dishonest, and they have not done anything substantial.
So being forced into this situation, Li Ru couldn't think of any good way to deal with it for a while, and he was also afraid that Liu Cheng had never had any thoughts about his father-in-law, but in the end, he was forced to feel dissatisfied by such a thing, and then he started
My heart goes to the little emperor.
He forced such a peerless warrior to come to his door and forced him to be on his opposite side.
I can only agree to Liu Cheng’s proposal to summon people and horses for training...
"I know that the Prime Minister has some grudges about the emperor summoning me to confirm the Han family lineage. I feel that after I have this identity, I will understand the emperor. Here, I will give an explanation to Wen You.
I, Liu Cheng, am able to achieve the status I have today, and to be able to become a Cavalry Commander, Chenggao Tinghou, and have many assets from a white body at a young age, all because of the Prime Minister. They are all given by the Prime Minister, not anyone else.
.
I, Liu Chengxin, know this very well, and I can also tell who is really good to me!"
Liu Cheng reached out and held Li Ru's hand, and said to Li Ru sincerely.
When Li Ru saw Liu Cheng directly put these things on the table and said them so openly, he felt ashamed for the previous suspicions of himself and others, but also felt relieved and moved...
What Liu Cheng said is naturally not true.
After all, he is a man who wants to compete properly in this era.
It's just that his strength is too small now, and he needs to continue to rely on the big tree Dong Zhuo to absorb nutrients to strengthen himself.
So I had to take a stand and prove myself.
After Liu Cheng convinced Li Ru through his own efforts, the procedure was approved very quickly.
In order to take care of the mood of Liu Cheng, a fierce general, Li Ru also made the decision himself and allocated more grain and grass to Liu Cheng for Liu Cheng to use to recruit troops.
After Liu Cheng got what he wanted, he immediately started arranging the matter.
On the third day, Li Jin and others from Luyang left Luoyang City and went to the surrounding areas to recruit troops.
The reason why soldiers are recruited outside the city is, on the one hand, because the cost is small, and a large number of soldiers and horses can be collected with much less food and grass.
On the other hand, compared to the people in Luoyang city who are used to hanging around, the young people in the surrounding villages are more simple and honest.
Such people are better trained into an army...
At this time, Li Ru found Dong Zhuo and reported the matter to Dong Zhuo...
