On February 12, the third year of Chuping, Chang'an City.

At the west gate, all the generals of Xiliang, led by Li Ru, were waiting outside the city gate, looking at the increasingly closer General Li Li and his five thousand iron cavalry.

Behind Li Ru, Dong Yue, the general of the Flying Bear Camp, saw the Wuwei Iron Cavalry three hundred steps away, and a look of pride appeared in his eyes.

"Dong Yue, how about the Wuwei Iron Cavalry under Li Li's command compared to the Feixiong Camp?" Li Ru, the general servant, was best at observing his expression. When Dong Yue's eyes were different, he asked in a low voice.

Dong Yue looked at Li Li, who was sitting high above the Xiliang horse and the Wuwei Iron Cavalry behind him, and said in a deep voice: "The Wuwei Iron Cavalry behind General Li Li is extraordinary, the soldiers are tall and strong, and the whole body is full of evil spirits. In addition, the mounts under their crotch are excellent, all of them are high-quality war horses with a back height of more than seven feet. They move quickly but not chaotic, and their steps are consistent, and they are elite iron cavalry!

However, they are light cavalry after all. Although they have strong combat power, they are not enemies of the flying bear heavy armored cavalry. The 10,000 flying bear heavy armored cavalry that Shang father spent all his efforts and spared no money to build is not the one that Wuwei Iron Cavalry can compete with? However, the combat power of these five thousand Wuwei Iron Cavalry, Dong felt that this army had extremely strong combat power. If my flying bear soldiers fought against it, even if they win in the end, they would probably have to pay at least more than three thousand cavalry casualties, otherwise it would be difficult to wipe out them completely."

"Oh? The Wuwei Army is so powerful! It seems that I, Li Ru, underestimated General Li Jue's nephew before. I am really a hero of uncle and nephew, and a family of tiger generals!"

Li Ru was shocked and couldn't help but sigh that Li Jue and Li Li's uncle and nephew are now both generals, holding heavy troops, and their strength cannot be ignored.

"The chief clerk is in charge of the world's intelligence, and he should know General Li Li's record well. I wonder if the rumors about Chang'an City are true now?" Dong Yue asked softly.

"Hahaha!" Li Ru narrowed his eyes and chuckled after hearing this, and said, "The rumors in Chang'an City were intentionally spread by me. How could there be any mistakes? No matter what, General Li Li was the same as me, and was the direct general under the Prime Minister. This time he returned with honor. We should come to greet him.

Oh, by the way, General Dong Yue, you have sent someone to inform General Fengxian in advance, why haven’t he come yet?”

A wry smile suddenly appeared on Dong Yue's face, and he shook his head helplessly and said, "Fengxian knew that General Wenchang was returning to Beijing today. But he sent someone to spread a message saying that he was slightly ill and could not come to greet him. Please ask Lord Bo to apologize to General Wenchang on his behalf."

"Well? How could Fengxian be so arrogant? Could it be that in his eyes, with Li Wenchang's current status and status, isn't he worthy of him to greet him personally?" Li Ru frowned and said in a deep voice.

When Dong Yue saw Li Ru's expression unhappy, he said with a wry smile: "Master Bo, Fengxian has always been like this. Among the ministers and ministers in the court, he has never given face except Shangfu. Even if you, Master Bo, Fengxian, I am afraid you don't care about it."

"Hmph!" After hearing this, Li Ru looked at Dong Yue with gloomy eyes, then turned his head and snorted coldly. He stopped talking.

Although Dong Yue was provocative in his words, Li Ru knew that Dong Yue was not wrong. Lu Bu did not take his chief clerk of the Grand Tutor's Mansion and the Central General Staff Li Ru seriously. Every time he met Lu Bu, he always greeted Lu Bu first, while Lu Bu nodded and left without hesitation. He was extremely arrogant and looked down upon.

Although Li Ru always smiled and pretended not to care, he actually felt very uncomfortable. But he could tolerate it and never let it go, just pretending that this kind of thing had never happened.

When Dong Yue mentioned this, Li Ru certainly knew that Dong Yue didn't like Lu Bu very much. He also knew the purpose of his solicitation. However, Li Ru couldn't help with this and couldn't help.

A month ago, Dong Zhuo took a step further from the position of Grand Tutor and ranked high in Shangfu. The young emperor Liu Xie also wanted to salute him in front of Dong Zhuo. His power was as powerful as the top emperor, and he was extremely prominent.

After Dong Zhuo advanced to Shangfu, he appointed his adopted son Lu Bu as the commander of Jinwu and Wenhou, and was in charge of the military power of Chang'an Imperial City. Therefore, Lu Bu was deeply trusted by Dong Zhuo, and he was always in the middle of the night and was extremely favored.

However, Dong Yue was staring at the position of Jinwu early on. Because he was originally a member of the Dong family in Lintao. By seniority, he was Dong Zhuo's distant nephew, and he had always been in charge of Dong Zhuo's personal soldiers, Feixiong Camp, and served as the Chief General of the Feixiong Camp, guarding Dong Zhuo's side at all times.

Therefore, in Dong Yue's eyes, he was the only one who held the position of Jinwu, and he was like a treasure. Just when the time came, he would be ranked among the nine ministers and be incredible.

Unexpectedly, Lu Bu was forced to take away his position as Jinwu, which Dong Yue was determined to win, and was also granted the title of Marquis of Wen, who was the highest title in the Han Dynasty - Marquis of County.

In fact, when Dong Yue became the adoptive father of Lu Bu and was escorting Dong Zhuo all day long, he was very dissatisfied with Lu Bu and was very dissatisfied with him. Because that position was once his Dong Yue. What made him feel helpless was that Lu Bu's martial arts were indeed much better than him, and Dong Zhuo valued Lu Bu very much.

So Dong Yue could only grit his teeth and hang up all day long, and from time to time, Lu Bu was called around in the name of Dong Zhuo.

It's really atrocity.

If Dong Yue could still bear the pain of giving in to Dong Zhuo's position as a personal guard, then he would never give in to Lu Bu the position of Jinwu.

However, as soon as Dong Zhuo's golden mouth opened, the seat of Jinwu fell on Lu Bu's head again, and Dong Yue missed another encounter, watching the cooked duck fly away.

There was hatred for snatching the personal guards in front, and there was hatred for seizing the throne later. New and old hatreds were superimposed together, and Dong Yue hated Lu Bu to the core, and he was so angry that he gritted his teeth.

But no matter how much Dong Yue resented Lu Bu, he had to obey Lu Bu's orders. Now Lu Bu is his legitimate immediate boss, so it is natural to direct him.

Dong Yue hates that in his heart, it’s so cowardly!

Li Ru knew Dong Yue’s current situation very well. But even though he was willing to help Dong Yue, he was still willing but not capable enough. He was really powerless! Now the relationship between Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu is getting better and better, and he is like his biological father and son. Who dares to say that Lu Bu is wrong in front of Dong Zhuo is tantamount to causing trouble and getting tired of living.

In fact, in the Xiliang army, there are many generals who are dissatisfied with the favor of Dong Zhuo because Lu Bu is favored by Dong Zhuo and are repeatedly promoted. Almost all the Xiliang generals are resentful to Lu Bu. So everyone dismissed Lu Bu outside the Xiliang army, so that he could not touch the military power of the Xiliang army at all. The army that really obeyed his command was only more than 20,000 Bingzhou's old subordinates. The other Xiliang soldiers and horses were all disobedient to Lu Bu's military orders. They left aside and ignored them. Unless Lu Bu held Dong Zhuo's personal military talisman and executed Dong Zhuo's military orders, they would not want to mobilize a soldier and a soldier from the Xiliang army.

?????????????????????????????

"Xi Yuyu----!"

"Da da da da da! Bang!"

As Li Li raised his right hand, the five thousand gold guard cavalry instantly stopped and the war horse neighed. Then he took three steps forward and stood neighed in an orderly manner, still as if a mountain.

"Hahaha!"

Amid the hearty laughter, Li Li quickly jumped off his mount and strode towards the Zhongchang Shi Li Ru who was standing at the city gate.

"I, Li Li, how could I, have you ever wanted to go out of the city to greet you? I was really flattered. I can't afford to take it!"

"General Li is here. You should call me the chief clerk. Or you can call me Wenyou. The Zhongchangshi is just an official position in the palace. I, Li Ru, are also the chief clerk of the Grand Tutor's Mansion! Hahaha!" Li Ru pulled Li Li's arm that was about to salute and said with a smile.

In fact, Li Li was just pretending. If Li Ru dared to accept his salute, he would at most bow slightly, and that's all.

However, Li Ru has always been smiling and welcomes people. It makes people feel that he is easy to speak and has no temper. The most important thing is that he is very good at being a human being. He seems to have never celebrated festivals with all the generals of the Western Liang army, but he has no deep friendships. He never forms cliques for personal gain, forms cliques, and adheres to his duty as a minister.

Therefore, many Xiliang generals may not be disgusted with Li Ru's ability to obtain high-ranking officials and generous salaries through his eloquence, but they will not give him face in person and will not offend him easily.

In addition, the relationship between Li Ru and Li Jue and Li Li’s uncle and nephew is different from others. There is no way to write two characters Li. Li Ru was born in the Li family and was considered a member of the Li family, but he had no relationship with Li Jue, the current head of the Li family.

Li Ru was born in a humble family. Although he was a child of the Li family in Beidi County, he had never received any favors from the Li family, nor had he received any help from the Li family. Therefore, although he and the Li family were of the same lineage, they had no connection. On the contrary, Dong Zhuo had the kindness of knowing Li Ru, and when he was hopeless of being a filial and honest person, he took him under his post as an aide.

After that, Dong Zhuo married Li Ru's third daughter, whom he had given birth to, to be a wife. It was a recreation of kindness and trust. For this reason, Li Ru has been trying his best to assist Dong Zhuo. He is willing to do anything that is conducive to strengthening Dong Zhuo's strength.

When the eighteen princes attacked Dong Zhuo, Li Ru went to Sun Jian's camp to reduce Dong Zhuo's defensive pressure and personally told him to surrender Sun Jian. As a result, he was humiliated by Sun Jian, Sun Ce and his son, and almost died at Sun Jian's hands. Finally, he licked his face and knelt down and begged for Sun Jian's son, and climbed out of the tent before he could leave Sun Jian's camp alive.

It is precisely because of Li Ru's unbearable behavior that all the princes in the world think that he is a villain who only knows how to flatter and a powerful person.

But there was one person who never looked down on Li Ru, and this person was Cao Cao who had served Dong Zhuo.

When Dong Zhuo moved westward, Cao Cao led his army to follow him and chase him, but was defeated by Li Jue and Guo Si in Xingyang and almost died. After Cao Cao escaped, he knew that although he was defeated by Li Jue, Guo Si and Xu Rong, he actually fell into the ambush arranged by Li Ru in advance, so he suffered such a great defeat.

It’s just that Cao Cao would not mention the whole story to anyone. After all, this is not a glorious thing, but he has never underestimated Li Ru’s wisdom.

With Li Ru as his son-in-law, Dong Zhuo was able to take charge of the world, dominate Luoyang and dominate the world. Such outstanding achievements alone, Dong Zhuo, who was tyrannical by nature, and a group of Xiliang troops who only knew how to burn, kill, and robbery? Dong Zhuo dominated Luoyang and controlled the emperor almost all came from Li Ru's plan, step by step, linked together, and eventually pushed Dong Zhuo to the position of overlord of the world.

Perhaps others don't know all this, but Cao Cao knew very well. Therefore, when he assassinated Dong Zhuo, he happened to choose Li Ru when he was dealing with government affairs. He was unable to do anything and deliberately avoided Li Ru's sight. However, Dong Zhuo was not a mediocre person, and he had an extraordinary vigilance. Therefore, Cao Cao failed to assassinate and fled Luoyang in a hurry.

However, Li Ru may not have expected that he assisted Dong Zhuo in power, but also pushed Dong Zhuo to the brink of hell that would never be restored, and there was no room for maneuver. (To be continued)
