Crossing the Battle of the Three Kingdoms

impossible?

Li Ru's residence was arranged secretly by himself, and every time he went there, he would change his disguise beforehand, so no one would know.

Did he always know that Li Ru made plans for him, so why did Cao Cao agree? Is it all their conspiracy?

Seeing Zhang Xiu's ugly face, Xun You knew that he had guessed right, so he continued to mentally suppress him further. "Don't worry, general, since you have surrendered, then you and I will serve the same master together. If you have anything to say, you can't say it."

yes?

Now that he has chosen to surrender and Cao Cao agreed to his request, there is nothing he can't say.

But just in case, Zhang Xiu decided to ask first. "I don't know if Mr. Cao is here, but who is guarding Wancheng?"

Hearing this, Xun You knew that Zhang Xiu wanted to leave the safest way out for himself to avoid Cao Cao's repentance.

In order to calm Zhang Xiu's heart, Xun You said: "Don't worry, General, Cao Gong will not lead troops into Wancheng, and the General will be stationed."

After receiving an affirmative reply, Zhang Xiu nodded and said, "Okay, this is the end of the matter, the general will come as it is."

It turned out that when Li Ru learned that Liu Xie was going to abdicate to Dong Zhuo, he felt something was wrong and kept persuading him, but unfortunately he was not accepted.

After Dong Zhuo entered the palace, Li Ru did not follow him. Instead, he found a dead man who was similar to himself and acted as a substitute for the dead man, hiding himself.

After escaping the catastrophe, Li Ru was already desperate for his official career. From Xiliang to Luoyang, he had devoted all his attention to Dong Zhuo, but it was a pity that he ended up like this in the end.

Regardless of whether Li Ru is right or wrong, but as Dong Zhuo's number one counselor, he has an inescapable responsibility.

Distraught, Li Ru sneaked out of Chang'an, trying to find a place to live in seclusion for the rest of his life.

That thought was indeed reported, and he was arrested and sent to Chang'an. At this time, Jia Xu persuaded the generals of the Xiliang Army to fight back, and Zhang Xiu, as the leader of the vanguard, rescued him by chance.

In this way, Li Ru hid under Zhang Xiu's command, occupied Chang'an with Guo and Li, and persuaded Zhang Xiu to leave first to avoid being murdered here.

Zhang Xiu is a person who can listen to advice, not to mention the words of a wise man, so he persuaded his uncle to lead the army to leave.

Not long after arriving in Wancheng, Zhang Xiu's uncle passed away, and Zhang Xiu succeeded in succeeding to the throne. He once wanted Li Ru to become an official, but Li Ru kept refusing, so he gave up thinking about it. count.

According to what Zhang Xiu said, everything has been cleared, and Xun You also has a plan in mind.

After Zhang Xiu finished speaking, Xun You said, "I wonder if the general can introduce you to him. Let You go and meet him."

This request put Zhang Xiu in a dilemma. If Li Ru agreed to Xun You's request and became an official of Cao Cao, then no one would ask him questions in the future.

Seeing that Zhang Xiu didn't answer, Xun You said, "I wonder if the general sincerely surrenders?"

"Huh?" Zhang Xiu said with a displeased face: "The general will naturally surrender wholeheartedly. Why did you ask this question, is it because you want to go back on your word?"

Xun You smiled and said: "The general is worrying too much. Since he sincerely surrendered, why didn't he dare to recommend him? If he is worried that there will be no one under his command to help out in the future, Duke Cao can send one person. What does the general think?"

If it is true what Xun You said, Zhang Xiu will never have a chance to rebel, and can only work for Cao Cao wholeheartedly.

But Zhang Xiu is sincerely seeking refuge, and there is no problem with this request, after all, it has little to do with his serving under Cao Cao.

Xun You's method can block Zhang Xiu's front and back roads, leaving him no room for detours, unless he fights Cao Cao, or agrees to recommend him, and sincerely joins Cao Cao's command.

Zhang Xiu thought for a long time, and finally said helplessly: "Okay, since Mr. asked, I will take you there, but whether Li Ru wants to see you, I can't make the decision."

Chapter 470 Persuasion

Xun You smiled and said: "The general just leads the way, whether or not he sees Li Ru, Mr. Cao will do what the general asks, and he will never go back on his word."

As long as Zhang Xiu agrees, Xun You believes that he will be able to persuade Li Ru, but if he can't, he will be forced to take him back to Xuchang.

Now under Cao Cao's command, there is a lack of great talents, not to mention Li Ru's talent, which has been proven. If it falls into the hands of others, I am afraid that it will strengthen the opponent in vain.

With Zhang Xiu leading the way, Xun You came to the small house in the east of Wancheng City, looked around, and saw that the surroundings were extremely quiet, Xun You knew that this place was undoubtedly there.

If this place had not been cleared by Zhang Xiu, the news of Li Ru would have been spread long ago, and it would be impossible to hide it until now.

There was no one in the front yard of the small house today. Zhang Xiu seemed to be very familiar with Li Ru. He turned around and waved lightly, then walked towards a small house.

"Dong dong dong."

When they came to the door, Zhang Xiu knocked lightly, then stood there respectfully and waited.

After a while, a voice came from the room saying: "General Zhang, go back first, let Xun You in."

Hearing the sound, Zhang Xiu paused, stayed where he was for a moment, then bowed his hands to Xun You, and strode away.

After Zhang Xiu walked away, Xun You straightened his clothes, opened the door, and saw a familiar person sitting and waiting for him.

"Xun You has seen Mr., but I haven't seen him for many years. How is Mr.?"

When Dong Zhuo was in power, Xun You was also an official in the court for a period of time, so the two were old acquaintances.

Li Ru replied: "If Master Xun didn't come, I might have a good life, but it's a pity that he finally came."

Xun You didn't care about Li Ruzhi's words. He found a seat beside him and sat down, and said slowly, "Sir, you are talented, why waste your time here. Although Mr. Cao is not talented, he is more than enough than Dong Zhuo."

Now Cao Cao can be said to have reached the level of Dong Zhuo. If Li Ru becomes an official, he will continue to complete the feat of the year.

But having already failed once, he no longer cared so much about the lofty ambitions of the year in his heart.

Li Ru shook his head and said, "Whether it's Prime Minister Cao or Prime Minister Dong, Li Ru in the past is dead, and now he's just an ordinary commoner. I'm afraid he will fail Lord Xun's kindness."

Xun You smiled and said: "Mr. is serious. Life is alive. If you succeed or fail once or twice, how can you give up? Don't you want to return your own glory?"

In the past, Dong Zhuo's chief counselors, the current princes of the world, some of them had served in his own hands, it is a lie to say that they don't miss it, otherwise Li Ru would not have seen Xun You.

But Xun You's words are not very useful. If Cao Cao came, Li Ru might still be a little moved.

Li Ru said slowly: "The past is like a passing cloud, let's think about it in a dream, now that there are so many talented people in the world, I'm afraid it won't be of much use to me."

"Mr. Cao has such a great talent as Mr. Xun, why do you have to get entangled with him? I can guarantee that I will never vote for any of the princes."

"Because among the princes from all walks of life, Duke Cao is the biggest and has the strongest potential. As for the one in the north, I'm afraid I don't have that kind of footwork."

These words made Xun You fall into thinking. Li Ru's words were indeed reasonable. If he forced him, even if he got him, he would not dare to trust him.

But if Li Ru is allowed to be out, he is afraid that someone who wants to find out will send someone to pick him up, just like Jia Xu, who suddenly appeared in the north.

Jia Xu?

"Yeah." Thinking of Jia Xu in Xun You's mind, he suddenly had a hint of inspiration, and quickly said, "When Mr. Jia Xu was famous all over the world, Jia Xu was still an unknown person, but now he is famous in the north. Doesn't Mr. have any ideas?" ?”

Jia Xu is indeed a great talent, Li Ru has heard of it before hiding in Zhang Xiujun, and he still admires what he has done.

If Jia Xu hadn't persuaded the Xiliang army to unite and fight back, the nearly 10 Xiliang army would have been massacred long ago.
