Li Jue is the governor of Hulao Pass. If something happens, Li Jue will bear all the responsibilities.
Although Guo Si, Zhao Cen, and Hu Zhen were stationed at Hulao Pass, they only assisted Li Jue in stationing at Hulao Pass.
In terms of responsibility, Li Jue will be held accountable first, and then Guo Si, Zhao Cen, Hu Zhen and others will be held accountable. However, no matter how the responsibility is pursued, Guo Si is always afraid.
The four people were lying prone on the ground, their heads lowered and they didn't dare to express their anger.
Li Jue raised his head slightly, still not daring to look Dong Zhuo in the eye, and said in a trembling voice: "Grand Master, the loss of Hulao Pass was due to the general's carelessness, allowing Wang Can to sneak into Hulao Pass and destroy the food and grass stored in Hulao Pass.
Later, the general went to the granary area and fell into Wang Can's plan of diverting the tiger away from the mountain. Finally, Wang Can opened the city gate and put the army of princes into Hulao Pass, so that Hulao Pass was captured. The fault of Hulao Pass being lost was Li's fault.
Jue, please punish me, Grand Master!"
Dong Zhuo snorted and cursed: "Condemned? Hehe... Do you think you can bear the responsibility of throwing yourself into Hulao Pass?"
Li Ru sat next to him, his narrow eyes slightly narrowed with a look of thought in his eyes.
Wang Can!
It’s Wang Can again!
Thinking of Wang Can, Li Ru felt as if he had been stung and felt a dull pain in his heart.
It was Li Ru's suggestion that Wang Can be sent to Hanzhong to be the prefect. Later, Wang Can responded to Cao Cao's appeal to Dong. Li Ru designed someone to send a letter to Wang Can, but Wang Can was dismissed in front of all the princes.
The face was destroyed, and the envoy Li Ru sent to Wang Can's camp and the woman who was specially sent to Wang Can were also killed. All matters were solved one by one by Wang Can.
Up to now, Wang Can even sneaked into the grain and grass stockpiled in Hulao Pass, and opened the gate of Hulao Pass, causing the loss of Hulao Pass. If we talk about the responsibility, Li Ru is the most responsible.
Without Li Jue's recommendation, how could Wang Can be beheaded and exposed?
Li Ru took a deep breath and stood up suddenly.
He walked to the center of the hall, stood next to Li Jue, lifted up his robe from his knees, knelt down with a bang, and said: "Master, the loss of Hulao Pass is Li Ru's fault, not General Li's fault!"
As the saying goes, the law does not punish everyone, Li Ru took the initiative to plead guilty, not because he felt guilty. For a person like Li Ru, apology and guilt could not restrain Li Ru. He took the initiative to plead guilty, in order to dispel the anger in Dong Zhuo's heart.
When Li Jue heard this, his eyes widened and he didn't understand why Li Ru said this.
Not only did Li Jue not understand, Dong Zhuo was also shocked and speechless.
Immediately, Dong Zhuo asked: "Wen You, what are you doing? The Hulao Pass is obviously lost by Li Jue and Guo Si, how come it has anything to do with you? Hurry up, hurry up."
To Dong Zhuo, Li Ru was not only a son-in-law, but also a counselor.
Its importance cannot be compared with that of Li Jue, Guo Si and others.
Li Ru shook his head, still kneeling on the ground, and said: "Master, if Ru hadn't recommended Wang Can, how could Wang Can have been used? Without Wang Can, Hulao Pass would not have been lost. After all, Hulao Pass was lost.
The cause was caused by Li Ru alone. Although General Li and General Guo were at fault, it is still Li Ru's fault. Please punish me!"
When Dong Zhuo heard this, he sighed repeatedly.
Li Ru was wrong about Wang Can, so how could he, Dong Zhuo, be wrong?
I thought that with Cai Yong staying in Luoyang, I would be able to control Wang Can, but then I realized that Cai Yong suddenly disappeared.
Without Cai Yong's restraint, Wang Can became a dragon wandering into the sea, completely out of Dong Zhuo's control. In this situation, Dong Zhuo could only break his teeth and swallow it in his stomach, unable to restrain Wang Can.
Dong Zhuo glanced at Li Ru, Li Jue and the others, a bright light flashed in his eyes, and he immediately sighed: "Everyone, get up. If we are talking about guilt, isn't Gu Gu also guilty? Now is not the time to plead guilty, but should consider how to treat the princes.
Allied forces, Yuan Shao Shuzi led the army of princes to occupy Hulao Pass. The attack was fierce and difficult to resist. Although some soldiers were lost, there are still flying bear troops. Lu Bu must defeat Yuan Shao in the next battle."
At this time, Dong Zhuo showed the sophistication of a veteran on the battlefield and the demeanor of a wise man. He did not hold Diu responsible for Hulao Pass, but considered how to deal with what happened next.
Using retreat to advance can be regarded as a kind of strategy.
On the surface, Dong Zhuo did not hold Li Jue and others accountable, but the effect was no worse than holding them accountable.
Dong Zhuo did this, which made Li Jue and Guo Si feel guilty. At the same time, they also wanted to defeat Yuan Shaoyi to avenge their shame.
After the words fell, Li Ru also stood up and sat back.
Only Li Jue was still kneeling on the ground, motionless. Li Jue raised his head and looked at Dong Zhuo. Although there was a look of guilt on his face, there was more of a firm and decisive look on his face: "Master, Wang Can open the city gate.
, causing the Xiliang army to flee, Yuan Shao occupied Hulao Pass, and will definitely approach Luoyang. Please ask the Grand Master to let Li Jue fight. Li Jue will definitely defeat the allies of the princes and make atonement for his sins."
Dong Zhuo laughed heartily, with a look of admiration in his eyes, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, I am ambitious. I, a man from Xiliang, am not afraid of death or losing, but I am afraid that I will not be able to stand up after falling. Since you take the initiative to ask for a fight, I am alone.
Let you lead the army, with Lu Bu as the vanguard, to fight against the allies of the princes. This time, we can only win, not lose!"
"promise!"
Li Jue looked grateful, cupped his fists and shouted loudly.
After finishing speaking, Li Jue stood up and returned to his seat.
When Guo Si, Hu Zhen, and Zhao Cen saw that Li Jue had been re-employed, their hearts began to move. Guo Si was the first to stand up and said, "Grand Master, I will also ask the Grand Master to give me a chance to make atonement for my sins."
"Grand Master, I will also request you to perform meritorious service and atone for your sins!"
Hu Zhen, Zhao Cen also said with clasped fists, his words were sincere and his face was sincere.
Dong Zhuo stretched out his hand to smooth the beard under his chin and laughed: "Well, you all have good intentions. Since you all want to avenge your shame, then follow Li Jue. He is still your commander."
"Thank you, Grand Master!"
The three of them looked excited, and none of them expected such a result.
Dong Zhuo is well-known for his domineering and fierceness, but this time he was so easy to talk to, which really surprised Guo Si and the others. After handling the affairs of Li Jue and others, Dong Zhuo waved his hand and said, "I still have something to discuss with Wen You.
, you should leave first, I will send someone to notify you when the army gathers."
"Yes, I will retire at the end!"
Li Jue and the other four stood up, bowed to Dong Zhuo, and left the hall.
Dong Zhuo watched the four people leaving, and his expression gradually became ferocious. He put his hands on the desk, and suddenly swung his big hand, knocking all the bamboo slips and wine bottles on the desk to the ground, and shouted in a hissing voice: "Asshole
, they are all idiots, Hulao Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but Wang Can opened the city gate, they are really idiots, a group of idiots!"
Li Ru's expression remained normal and he nodded secretly, as if saying that it would be abnormal for Dong Zhuo not to be angry.
Banging sounds resounded in the hall, and bamboo slips and wine bottles were scattered everywhere on the ground, making it very messy.
Dong Zhuo also suppressed the anger in his heart and did not get angry.
Because Dong Zhuo knew that getting angry would not help, and punishing Li Jue, Guo Si and others would be of no use. He might as well retreat in order to absolve Li Jue, Guo Si and others of their sins and let them perform meritorious service. With the previous failure, Li Jue
, Guo Si and others will definitely be able to fight more courageously and not dare to slack off in the slightest.
But after the four people left, Dong Zhuo couldn't suppress the anger in his heart.
The natural danger of Hulao Pass was easily breached...
After a while, Dong Zhuo's angry mood gradually calmed down.
Dong Zhuo looked at Li Ru, and saw Li Ru squinting his eyes slightly, closing his eyes to rest, and smiled in his heart. Li Ru was a good son-in-law. He had a strategy and knew how to advance and retreat. He asked: "Wen You, the allied forces of the princes are about to attack Luoyang. How about you?"
How should we deal with it?"
Li Ru said: "Master, the Marquis of Duting, Lu Bu, is unparalleled in martial arts, and his halberd is unmatched by anyone. It's time for Lu Bu to go into battle. Didn't Grand Master say that Lu Bu will be the vanguard? This time
Let Lu Bu start the battle, kill the morale of the princes and allies, and let them know how powerful the Xiliang army is."
Dong Zhuo put his palms together and smiled: "Okay, just follow Wen You's words and take the initiative!"
