Luoyang, in the Prime Minister's residence.
The doctor ordered Li Ru to rush into the Prime Minister's residence after he left the court.
After passing through the tight security, they reached the main hall and saw that there were already several people in the hall.
Dong Zhuo sat on the main seat, his fat body lying on the couch.
Beside him, the three guards, Li Jue, Guo Si, and Lu Bu, were kneeling on the ground, trembling.
Seeing this, Li Ru first bowed to Dong Zhuo, then looked at Li Su and frowned,
"General Li, why are you here instead of defending the enemy at Mushui Pass?”
Hearing this, Li Su's body couldn't help but tremble. Just as he was about to reply, he heard Dong Zhuo's extremely cold voice,
"Wen You, there's no need to ask anymore. Mushui Pass has already been broken!”
"Our 50,000-strong army was completely wiped out, and only Li Su returned with a few thousand soldiers.”
"Now, there are only two things."
"First, with the fall of the Mushui Pass and Luoyang right in front of us, what should we do?”
As he spoke, he shifted his gaze to Li Su and said coldly,"
"Second, do you think this person will be cut in half or dismembered?”
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Su was so scared that his guts were about to break. He hurriedly knelt down and cried,
"Prime minister, please spare my life!”
"This subordinate is wronged!"
"This subordinate was defeated because I had no choice!”
He looked at Lu Bu and pleaded,"
"Fengxian, Fengxian, tell the prime minister that I am truly loyal to the prime minister and will never change my mind!”
"This defeat was really because Sun Jian was too cunning. Su was truly powerless!”
Facing Li Su, Lu Bu couldn't help but look away.
Seeing that Lu Bu was unwilling to speak, Li Su turned to Li Jue and Guo Si, then turned to Li Ru and cried,
"Doctor Ling, please persuade the Prime Minister. This subordinate is not willing to die in vain!”
When Li Ru saw this, a trace of worry appeared between his delicate brows.
No wonder Dong Zhuo called him over so urgently.
He didn't expect that Lishui Pass had already been lost!
Luoyang was surrounded on all sides and had many passes.
However, the Tiger Cage and Si River passes were the most important. Once they broke through the passes, they would be able to enter Luoyang without any danger!
The current situation could be said to be on the edge of life and death!
After thinking for a while, he walked past Li Su and came to Dong Zhuo,
"Prime Minister, let's discuss General Li Su's matter later.”
"The most important thing now is to gather the troops and go to Mushui Pass to take it back.”
"Even if we can't take it back, we can't let the enemy advance any further!”
Hearing this, Dong Zhuo nodded slightly and said,
"I also know about Wen You. I want Li Jue, Guo Si, and my son Lu Bu to lead 100,000 troops to Lishui Pass to resist the enemy.”
"No!"
Li Ru hurriedly shook his head and said,"
"The enemy has already broken through a pass. The main force will definitely press up the Si River. The Prime Minister must personally lead the army to fight against the enemy.”
"If the Prime Minister doesn't come out, our army will find it difficult to use all of our strength!”
Dong Zhuo frowned and remained silent.
Lu Bu laughed and said,"
"Brother Wen You's words are too sensational. Although there are many dukes, they are like clay chickens and pottery dogs in front of me.”
At this point, he cupped his hands and smiled at Dong Zhuo.
"Father, there is no need for father to go. Even the two generals don't need to go. As long as you give me 50,000 cavalry, I will definitely be able to defeat the enemy!”
"Hehehe!"
Hearing Lu Bu's words, Dong Zhuo stroked his beard and laughed,"
"My son is brave and good at fighting.”
He paused for a moment and said,
"However, the enemy has a large number of troops. I'm afraid that it will be difficult for my son to deal with them. Forget it, I'll follow Wen You's plan!”
"Li Jue and Guo Si, you two quickly gather your troops and call Zhang Ji and Fan Chou over. Gather 150,000 soldiers and follow me to Mushui Pass!”
"Yes!"
Hearing this, Li Jue and Guo Si cupped their hands and left.
"Prime Minister is wise!"
Seeing this, Li Ru hurriedly cupped his hands towards Dong Zhuo. Afraid that Lu Bu would hold a grudge against him, he hurriedly said,
"Prime Minister, before we send out our troops, our army still has one more thing to do!”
"What is it?"
Dong Zhuo said to Li Ru.
When Li Ru heard this, his eyes revealed a trace of coldness.
"Now that the enemy has invaded the Si River, the enemy is very powerful. Yuan Shao is the leader of the alliance, and Yuan Kui is the tutor. If they work together from the inside, it will be very inconvenient.”
"Why don't we let Fengxian lead the army and surround Yuan Kui's family?”
"In this way, after our army goes to Mushui Pass, we can ensure that the rear is safe and sound. Secondly, we can give this head to Yuan Shao and force him to fight quickly!”
"Our cavalry is elite. If we fight head-on, with the bravery of Fengxian's cavalry, the enemy will definitely be defeated!”
"Alright, this plan works!"
Dong Zhuo stroked his beard and laughed,
"Yuan Kui has repeatedly bullied me and should have died long ago. Killing him now is exactly what I want!”
"My son, are you willing to go?"
Hearing this, Lu Bu quickly smiled and said,"
"Father, don't worry. I'll go now!”
What he was most afraid of was not having a chance to perform. Now that he heard Li Ru's words and knew that this was to create an opportunity for him, he was naturally overjoyed and left.
After leading his generals away, the smile on Dong Zhuo's face gradually turned cold as he coldly looked at Li Su who was kneeling on the ground.
"Wen You, now that he has left, how should we deal with this person?”
Li Su knelt on the ground and trembled when he heard this. He did not dare to speak and could only look at Li Ru with a pleading gaze.
Seeing this, Li Ru frowned and said,
"Prime Minister, it is not difficult to kill Li Su, but our army will need to borrow General Li for a period of time!”
"We might as well give him a chance to redeem himself!”
Li Su was overjoyed when he heard this, but Dong Zhuo was puzzled.
"What do you mean by that?"
Li Ru hurriedly said,
"I'm returning to the Prime Minister's country because I still have something I don't understand!”
"Just now, General Li said that Sun Jian was cunning, but according to what I know, Sun Jian's army only has thirty thousand men.”
"Our army has more than fifty thousand men in Lishui Pass, and we're guarding Jian Pass. How can Sun Jian seize the Si River by himself?”
He looked at Li Su and said,"
"General Li, tell me in detail how you fought at Mushui Pass and how you were defeated!”
After listening to Li Ru's analysis, Dong Zhuo nodded his head and looked at Li Su coldly, waiting for his reply.
Li Su was overjoyed to get the chance. His eyes showed his gratitude to Li Ru, and then he told him in detail how he fought with Hua Xiong.
Including how he planned, how he sent troops, and how he defended the city.
He also told them about the enemy's extremely abnormal method of sending troops and their heavy plans.
It wasn't a long story. It was all that happened in one night.
But the calculations and thrills within this made Li Su exaggerate for a full hour.
As Li Ru and Dong Zhuo listened, their expressions changed drastically.
In the end, when Li Su said that he had led the remnants of the army back but was stabbed in the back by Zhao Cen, he was already crying on the ground,"
"Prime Minister, I was defeated in this battle and I know that I will not be pardoned. However, I am absolutely loyal to you!”
"If it weren't for the fact that the enemy was too cunning, our army would never have suffered such a crushing defeat!”
" Zhao Cen deserves to die!"
After hearing Li Su's words, Dong Zhuo was furious. He punched the couch, his fat trembling in anger.
"If I had known that this person was so rebellious, I would have killed him back then!”
Dong Zhuo was furious, but Li Ru felt a chill run down his spine.
He thought about it carefully. This matter really couldn't be blamed on Li Su.
In a foreign land, if he were to face the other party's schemes, it would probably be difficult for him to retreat unscathed!
This was because the other party's every move was based on their own plans.
At the same time that he fell into the trap, the next person in his army would fall into the trap and eventually cause the entire army to collapse!
Thinking of this, Li Ru frowned and said,"
"Prime Minister, there is an expert guiding the enemy!”
"This matter must be taken seriously!"
Seeing Li Ru's serious tone, Dong Zhuo frowned and said,"
"Expert? Wen You, how is the expert you mentioned better than you?”
When Li Ru heard this, he said without hesitation,"
"This person's wisdom is still above mine!”
As he spoke, a certain someone surnamed Jia involuntarily appeared in his mind.
If he didn't know that this person was in their army, he would have suspected that this guy was in the enemy camp!
Although he said it lightly, Dong Zhuo was shocked.
In his opinion, his son-in-law was already a first-class strategist for being able to plan and make decisions.
However, there was a strategist in the enemy camp who was even more terrifying than his son-in-law?
Thinking of this, Dong Zhuo couldn't help but worry,
"If that's the case, what should we do?”
"That Sun Jian was originally very brave. Now that he has this person, wouldn't he be like a tiger with wings?”
"There are only two ways now!”
Li Ru narrowed his eyes and said,"
"First, send someone to Sun Jian's camp and surrender to Sun Jian at all costs!”
"If Sun Jian is willing to surrender, then this battle can still be fought!”
Dong Zhuo frowned and said,
"That Sun Jian has a strong personality, so I'm afraid this plan will be difficult to implement. If Sun Jian refuses to surrender, what will our army do?”
"Sigh!"
Li Ru sighed and said,
"If Sun Jian insists on not surrendering, then there is only one choice!”
Dong Zhuo hurriedly said,
"What choice?"
Hearing this, Li Ru muttered to himself for a moment before spitting out two words with a solemn expression.
