Luoyang City, Imperial Palace.
Dong Zhuo sat on the dragon bed with a hesitant expression.
What Li Ru said just now was naturally what he was worried about.
After all, Lu Bu's path wasn't normal.
He had exchanged it for the Red Hare Horse.
Of course, this was not the most important thing.
It was because Lu Bu had a criminal record.
Who knew if this guy would stab him in the back?
What if Lu Bu led 50,000 soldiers to rebel?
This was especially true if Lu Bu gathered the 100,000 Western Liang soldiers at Tiger Cage Pass. Once he gained control of the 150,000 soldiers, it was hard to guarantee that Lu Bu wouldn't kill him like he had killed Ding Yuan.
Dong Zhuo still had lingering fears about this.
"This subordinate has already thought of what Lord Prime Minister is worried about.”
Li Ru looked at Dong Zhuo, who still had a lingering fear in his heart, and a hint of disappointment flashed across his eyes. Then, he respectfully said,
"Wenyou, tell me quickly."
Dong Zhuo was overjoyed when he heard Li Ru's words.
"Since the Prime Minister is not at ease with Lu Bu taking control, then send a trusted general to monitor Lu Bu.”
"At the same time, hand over the three thousand flying bear soldiers to that general.”
"If that Lu Bu has any disloyalty, that general will carry the Prime Minister's order.”
"Commanding the Flying Bear Army, kill him."
Li Ru muttered to himself for a moment before he explained everything under Dong Zhuo's excited gaze.
"That's good."
"However, why don't we just let Lu Bu be the deputy general?”
When Dong Zhuo heard this, he revealed a thoughtful expression.
Li Ru shook his head slightly.
"Lord Prime Minister, once Lu Bu becomes the Deputy General, it will be clear that Lord Prime Minister does not trust him.”
"Not only will this cause Lu Bu to have other thoughts, but it will also give Yuan Shao and the others an excuse.”
"To sow discord between Lu Bu and the Prime Minister, and even use this to force Lu Bu to rebel.”
After Li Ru explained the reason why Lu Bu could not become a deputy general, Dong Zhuo finally understood.
Thus, he waved his pale golden dragon robe and said.
"Then let's do as Wenyou said. Lu Bu will be the main general and lead the 50,000 Bing Province troops.”
"Li Jue will be the deputy general and lead the three thousand Flying Bear Army to reinforce Hulao Pass.”
Dong Zhuo wasn't a fool who didn't know anything about military affairs. He was once a veteran who had galloped on the battlefield.
However, the recent prosperity had abandoned his previous ambitions.
With Li Ru's reminder, Dong Zhuo quickly made his choice.
"Men, summon Wen Hou into the palace."
Then, Dong Zhuo put on his dragon robe and ordered the Western Liang soldiers outside.
"Yes."
"At the same time, get someone to clean up the inside.”
"Yes."
……
Luoyang City, Marquis Wen's residence.
Ever since Lu Bu killed Ding Yuan, he had joined Dong Zhuo's side and was conferred the title of Marquis Wen. He had also acknowledged Dong Zhuo as his foster father.
Not long after, due to Lu Bu's previous record of murdering his father, Dong Zhuo was afraid of Lu Bu.
After taking away Lu Bu's military power, he gave him a sinecure and let him stay away from military power.
Currently, Lu Bu was in his residence, drinking and having fun.
Several dancers with sexy figures danced elegantly and sexily, making Lu Bu unable to keep up.
"Lord Marquis, the Prime Minister has sent someone.”
Just as Lu Bu was admiring the dance of the dancers, a guard quickly walked over and reported to him.
"Godfather?"
"Could it be that you have something for me to do?”
Lu Bu, who had been idle at home for the past few days, immediately revealed an excited expression when he heard the guard's words.
As a fierce general on the battlefield, Lu Bu was naturally not used to staying idle at home.
Now that he heard that Dong Zhuo had sent someone over, Lu Bu was excited.
"Quickly let foster father's men in."
At this moment, Lu Bu couldn't be bothered to admire the charming dance of the dancers as he ordered the guard.
"Yes."
"All of you, leave."
After the guard left, Lu Bu waved at the dancers, signaling them to leave.
"Yes."
The dancers quickly left, leaving Lu Bu alone. He looked at the Heavenly Halberd beside him in silence.
"Old friend."
"We can fight soon.”
Lu Bu looked at the Heavenly Halberd, and a glint flashed across his eyes as he gulped down the wine in his cup.
In the next moment, he suddenly picked up the heavy halberd and began to practice.
In an instant, the entire world seemed to be filled with countless halberd shadows!
"Boom!"
With a loud boom, the halberd flew around like a dragon in Lu Bu's hand.
……
Soon, under the lead of a guard, a soldier from Western Liang arrived behind Lu Bu, who was brandishing his Heavenly Halberd.
The Western Liang soldier looked at Lu Bu, who was like a god in the world, and revealed a look of shock.
"Wushuang Lu Bu is indeed extraordinary.”
A strange light flashed in the eyes of the Western Liang soldier as he muttered.
"No wonder Advisor Jun asked me to keep an eye on him.”
The Western Liang soldier's eyes flashed with understanding. He understood why he valued Lu Bu so much.
"Boom!"
After a long time, Lu Bu suddenly stopped and stabbed the halberd in his hand into the ground. He looked at the Western Liang soldier and said,"
"Do you have any instructions for me, Godfather?"
Lu Bu said as he wiped the sweat off his body.
"Lord Wen Hou, Lord Prime Minister invites you to the palace.”
When the Western Liang soldier saw this, a strange light flashed in his eyes as he respectfully reported to Lu Bu.
"I understand."
"Go back and inform foster father that Fengxian will be here in a while.”
Hearing this, Lu Bu's eyes flashed with excitement as he ordered the Western Liang soldiers.
"Yes."
The Western Liang soldier said respectfully.
Soon, after the Western Liang soldiers left, Lu Bu had the maidservants bathe and change into armor.
He rode on the blood-red rabbit horse and headed toward Luoyang's Imperial Palace.
At the same time, the Western Liang soldiers who had left Lu Bu's residence did not immediately return to the Imperial Palace to inform Dong Zhuo.
Instead, he came to a hidden corner and whistled. A messenger pigeon flew over.
The Western Liang soldier took out a piece of paper and quickly wrote down some mysterious symbols before tying it to the leg of the messenger pigeon.
A moment later, the messenger pigeon flew away amidst the whistles of the Western Liang soldiers.
Under the gaze of the Western Liang soldiers, he flew into the sky and headed in the direction of Tiger Cage Pass.
