The next day, Luoyang City.
Luoyang, as the imperial capital of Great Han, could be said to be the most prosperous place in Great Han.
Luoyang City was divided into an inner city and an outer city.
There were hundreds of thousands of Han people in the outer city.
Within the inner city, there were many official residences.
Apart from the inner and outer cities, there was also the most central place-the Great Han Imperial Palace!
The Great Han Imperial Palace was surrounded by a five-meter-tall city wall. It was also the most important place for the Great Han Dynasty.
However, at this moment, the person lying on the dragon bed in the Imperial Palace was not the current emperor, Emperor Xian Liu Xie!
Instead, it was a burly middle-aged man with a slightly plump belly!
Beside the middle-aged man were several naked women.
The sexy women were like frightened sheep.
She trembled as she massaged the middle-aged man's body, afraid that she would accidentally anger him.
"Lord Prime Minister, Lord Li Ru requests an audience.”
At this moment, a loud voice woke the middle-aged man.
"Li Ru?"
"What is he doing here? Could it be that Tiger Cage Pass has sent us good news?”
The middle-aged man who had been awoken was none other than Dong Zhuo, the thief that the dukes had been talking about, the one who had caused chaos in Luoyang!
At this moment, Dong Zhuo suddenly woke up and was about to get angry when he heard Li Ru's name.
The next moment, Dong Zhuo seemed to have thought of something and couldn't help but smile.
The concubines who saw Dong Zhuo's anger were about to beg for mercy when they saw Dong Zhuo's smile and heaved a sigh of relief.
"Xuan Li Ru has come in."
Dong Zhuo sat on the dragon throne like an emperor as he ordered the Western Liang soldiers who did not dare to look at him.
"Yes."
The Western Liang soldiers below subconsciously raised their heads and glanced at her sexy figure.
The hot-tempered concubines subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva and hurriedly replied in a panic.
"Haha."
Dong Zhuo looked at the soldier and revealed an excited expression.
Ever since he followed Li Ru's plan and listened to General He Jin's orders to lead the army to camp outside Luoyang.
Under Li Ru's plan, after the death of Han Ling Emperor and He Jin, he led the army to occupy Luoyang in the name of cleaning up the side of the emperor and killing the officials.
Those days were better than the days of immortals.
However, there were always people who wanted to harm him.
First, Cao Cao assassinated Dong Zhuo, and then there were eighteen vassals who attacked Dong Zhuo.
Fortunately, Hua Xiong had led the 100,000-strong Western Liang army to stop the dukes outside Tiger Cage Pass!
Now that Li Ru entered the palace, it was very likely that there was good news from Tiger Cage Pass.
How could Dong Zhuo not be excited?
Thinking of this, Dong Zhuo couldn't help but reveal a hidden expression as he started dancing again.
Not long after, Li Ru came to Dong Zhuo under the lead of the Western Liang soldiers.
Li Ru looked at the dancing Dong Zhuo and sighed slightly, but he did not say anything.
He just waited quietly for Dong Zhuo to finish releasing it.
After a long time, Dong Zhuo's rough voice rang out and the concubines screamed.
Dong Zhuo casually put on a set of Emperor's clothes and looked at Li Ru, who was waiting calmly, and said excitedly.
"Wenyou, Hwa Xiong has sent good news.”
Dong Zhuo said as he revealed a sinister smile.
"This group of rebels, it's not good to be an honest local emperor, but they want to rebel.”
"When Hwa Xiong returns, I will definitely exterminate the entire clan of these rebels."
Just as Dong Zhuo was muttering to himself, he didn't notice Li Ru's gloomy face.
Not long after, Dong Zhuo realized that Li Ru did not speak. He could not help but ask in puzzlement,"Wenyou, what's wrong?"
"Lord Prime Minister, Hwa Xiong died in battle.”
"What?!"
As Li Ru's voice fell, Dong Zhuo, who was originally excited to kill Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and the other vassals 'families, was shocked.
He immediately let out a voice of disbelief and exclaimed!
"How is that possible?"
"Hua Xiong has a hundred thousand soldiers from the Western Liang Army. How could they have died in battle?”
"Lord Prime Minister, Hua Xiong disobeyed orders and went out to fight with the vassals. In the end, he was beheaded by a general under Cao Cao.”
When Li Ru saw this, a hint of disappointment flashed across his eyes. Then, he respectfully said to Dong Zhuo.
"Hua Xiong, you idiot, you almost caused me trouble!"
When Dong Zhuo heard that Hua Xiong had disobeyed the military order and was killed outside the city, he was instantly enraged!
In his anger, Dong Zhuo drew a sharp sword and looked at the trembling concubines beside him!
Accompanied by a few miserable screams, the white knife entered and the red knife came out.
Li Ru coldly looked at Dong Zhuo slaughtering the concubines to vent his anger. A hint of disappointment flashed across his eyes and he sighed in his heart.
……
"How about Tiger Cage Pass?"
A moment later, Dong Zhuo calmed down and looked nervously at Li Ru.
Li Ru sighed and said respectfully.
"As this subordinate has already made arrangements, other than Hwa Xiong holding the fort, I have also arranged for Xu Rong to hold the fort in secret.”
"So nothing happened at Tiger Cage Pass.”
"However, with the strength of the alliance army, it will be difficult for Xu Rong to defend Tiger Cage Pass alone.”
Li Ru ignored Ji Ju's corpse that was lying in a pool of blood as he spoke with a grave expression.
"It's good that you're fine."
"It's good that you're fine."
Dong Zhuo, whose fighting spirit had long been destroyed, immediately heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that Tiger Cage Pass was safe.
Seeing this scene, Li Ru sighed slightly, but he still spoke.
"Lord Prime Minister, although Tiger Cage Pass is temporarily safe, this subordinate feels that…”
"In order to prevent any accidents, we need to send reinforcements to reinforce Tiger Cage Pass.”
"Then send Li Jue and Guo Si to lead fifty thousand troops to reinforce Hulao Pass.”
Dong Zhuo frowned when he heard this.
"Prime Minister, General Li Jue and General Guo Si are not qualified to take on such a heavy responsibility.”
Li Ru shook his head slightly when he heard this.
"Who does Wenyou want to fight?"
Dong Zhuo frowned and asked Li Ru.
"Wen Hou Lu Bu."
"Him?"
"No."
Dong Zhuo refused without hesitation.
Dong Zhuo had never acknowledged Lu Bu, who had killed his own father and joined him.
However, because they needed Lu Bu to intimidate the Bing Province cavalry, they had no choice but to adopt him as their son.
Now, hearing Li Ru recommend Lu Bu to lead the army to reinforce Tiger Cage Pass, Dong Zhuo subconsciously rejected the idea.
"Minister, are you worried about Wen Hou?”
