Dragon of the Three Kingdoms

Taking a deep breath, Li Ru said slowly, "You want to say, these are all Wang Yun's schemes?"

Li Yi remained silent, Li Ru asked again: "The woman is willing to testify?"

Li Yi hurriedly said: "Sir, she couldn't bear to part with me. She said those things just now. If she was asked to speak out about Wang Situ in public, she might be afraid or she wouldn't. Besides, she said it, so what?"

Li Ru thought that she was just a woman, and there was nothing he could say after torture, but he knew that Li Yi was reluctant, so he simply dismissed this idea.

And what Li Yi said is very reasonable, even if Wang Yun is really testified, so what?

Sending a daughter to Dong Zhuo is loyal, and the entanglement with Li Yi is just a misunderstanding.

Li Ru was in a dilemma for a while, although Dong Zhuo was powerful and frequently killed the courtiers, but that also needed a reason, Wang Yun was at most a little suspicious, and his popularity was good, just because of this trumped-up charge, how to deal with him start?

Moreover, this matter could not be reported to Dong Zhuo, because Dong Zhuo was very womanly, and if a trouble occurred, not only would Wang Yun take advantage of it, but it would also create a rift between Dong Zhuo and Li Yi.

Li Ru was sick and was already in poor condition. After thinking about it for a while, he didn't think of a proper solution. He had a headache for a while and couldn't help complaining to Li Yi: "I know you are young and strong, but you should use your mind When making meritorious deeds, you must not indulge in female sex, and when you become famous in the future, what woman do you want!"

Li Yi slandered in his heart, but on the surface he just laughed, which made Li Ru very helpless.

But Li Ru was Li Ru after all, and after being annoyed for a while, he suddenly turned his eyes, looked at Li Yi, and said suspiciously: "You came to me for this matter, you must have a countermeasure, don't you?"

"Sir, his eyes are as bright as torches!"

Li Yi was waiting for Li Ru to ask a question, and when he heard the words, he immediately flattered him.

Li Ru scolded with a smile: "Stop talking nonsense, and quickly tell me what you plan to do?"

Li Yi pondered for a moment, did not mention Diao Chan, but talked about his conflict with Zhang Xiu.

In fact, news about Li Yi and Zhang Xiu has already reached Dong Zhuo, but Dong Zhuo put the matter on hold temporarily, and Li Ru was sick at home, so he didn't know about it. !"

This time Li Ru was really angry, and was very dissatisfied with Li Yi's handling, but he was even more annoyed at Zhang Xiu's daring to lead troops to surround and kill Li Yi.

Li Yi smiled bitterly: "When the army went out of the city, Zhang Xiu's subordinates committed crimes in public. If I don't punish them severely, how can I convince them? Who will be afraid of me in the future?"

"It was purely accidental that I met Zhang Xiu again after that, but I did not handle it properly that time. It was really because I saw him leading troops to massacre the village at that time, and I was so angry that I was willing to accept the punishment."

Li Ru sighed, Li Yi acted according to the military law for this shit, although Zhang Xiu was "forced to rebel", but he was not at fault at all, if Li Yi was punished, Zhang Xiu could die.

But Zhang Xiu's nephew and uncle had thousands of soldiers and horses, did they kill them as soon as they said they wanted to?

What's more, killing them and recruiting their soldiers and horses, how do the other warlords, big and small, feel in their hearts?

Li Ru looked at Li Yi with a bit of resentment. It is true that this young man is capable, but he is also too capable of causing trouble.

Seeing that Li Ru's face was unhappy, Li Yi no longer pretended to be deep, and said proactively, "I have a plan, maybe I can count birds with one stone."

Chapter 105

Li Yi whispered his plan to Li Ru, Li Ru was silent for a long time, and then said: "Yes!"

It's not that Li Ru's brain turns slowly, but that he is thinking about Li Yi's character. He seems to be upright, but he is actually a cunning person, and his heart is decisive enough. If the front foot of Zhang Xiu provoked him, the revenge will come soon. Come on, and although the method of revenge is very shameless, it can be called a stroke of genius. Not only does Li Yi benefit himself, but it also benefits Dong Zhuo. promote.

"If the king treats his ministers like brothers and feet, then his ministers will treat him like his heart; if he treats his ministers like dogs and horses, then his ministers will treat him like a countryman; if he treats his ministers like dirt, then his ministers will treat him like a bandit."

Li Ru murmured in his heart, appreciating but also a little worried, Li Yi's character, if used well, would definitely be a sharp knife, but if used poorly, it would easily turn into elbows and armpits.

However, Dong Zhuo is not the kind of master who is open-minded enough and tolerant.

Li Ru sighed leisurely, with him around, Dong Zhuo and Li Yi would naturally get along well, but what if he wasn't around?

Li Ru's health was not good. Since he entered Luoyang, he worked hard day and night for Dong Zhuo. It can be said that his heart was broken, and his physical condition became worse and worse. Even his hair turned gray a lot.

It was fine on weekdays, but this time when the capital was moved, the road was bumpy and fell ill.

"You should try your best to persuade the grand master, for the long-term plan, not only to Li Yi, but also to other generals."

Li Ru was thinking about it, but seeing Li Yi looking at him as if hesitant to speak, he couldn't help asking, "Is there anything else that bothers you?"

Li Yi hesitated and said, "I don't know if I should speak or not."

Seeing him like this, Li Ru said angrily, "Speak!"

Li Yi coughed lightly, and then told about Dong Zhuo's return to his life just now, but Dong Zhuo was still sleeping at noon.

"I know it's not good to talk about grand masters in private, but if grand masters want to achieve great things, how can they be negligent and slack? What's more, the world is not peaceful now, they have moved to Chang'an, people's hearts are restless, and the eighteen princes are also entrenched in Luoyang. Now, really This is not the time to have fun!"

Li Yi faced Li Ru with a face full of loyalty and righteousness. Anyone who saw this expression would have to say that he is a great loyal minister.

Hearing this, Li Ru's originally sickly face became much uglier. He immediately clapped his hands, called the butler to come in, and asked him how Dong Zhuo's daily life has been these days, but when he asked him, he almost didn't vomit blood.

It turns out that Dong Zhuo was in this state basically after beating Li Ru to tell him about his illness every day. He played and sang every night, and then slept until the sun rose every day. Not to mention that the court meeting was only held once in so many days, even the Xiliang Army’s own affairs were delayed. a lot.

"Why didn't you report to me earlier!"

Li Ru yelled at the housekeeper, and then coughed violently. Li Yi hurried forward to help him breathe. When Li Ru's breath calmed down a little, he took off the handkerchief covering his mouth. Bloodshot.

"I'm really sick"

Li Yi was thinking in his heart, but he hurriedly said: "Sir, don't get angry in a hurry, be careful that it will hurt your body."

"How can I not be angry?"

Li Ru waved his hand and hammered the bed. From his point of view, what Dong Zhuo is doing now is a crime. If he is not careful, he will be killed and his family will be destroyed. He needs to be careful at every step, as if walking on thin ice, he himself will suffer from many illnesses. , how could Dong Zhuo himself be so carefree?

Annoyed for a while, Li Ru probably understood Dong Zhuo's current state of mind. Before that, there were eighteen princes from outside and undercurrents surging inside the court. It could be described as internal and external troubles. There was always a sharp knife hanging over Dong Zhuo's heart. On the head, Dong Zhuo had to be careful in everything.

After the capital was moved, the Eighteenth Route princes not only had no intention of entering the army, but according to detailed intelligence, internal strife was serious with each other, and foreign aggression was no longer a concern.

As for the officials in the court, because of Li Yi's strategy, most of their strength was also lost, and they could not regain their energy in a few years. In this way, Dong Zhuo probably thought that no one in the world could do anything to him anymore.

Thinking of this, Li Ru propped himself up despite being ill and said, "Come here, change clothes, I want to meet the Grand Master!"

Li Yi hurriedly stretched out his hand to hold down Li Ru, he said those words to let Li Ru get into Dong Zhuo's bad luck, but he can't let Li Ru go now, otherwise what should he do if he delays his work?What's more, Dong Zhuo might even blame himself.

Li Yi persuaded: "Governing a big country is like cooking small fish, sir, don't be in a hurry."

"Besides, I think the Grand Master's personality is rather stubborn. If the Master remonstrates rashly, it's fine if the Grand Master obeys. If he doesn't listen, what will happen next?"

Li Ru was about to struggle and paused. Yes, no one knows Dong Zhuo better than him. Dong Zhuo was indeed very good in the past, he was called a hero, but after he entered Luoyang, he became more and more self-willed and could not tolerate others treating him. There is a slight violation.

Although Li Ru was close to Dong Zhuo, he was still not absolutely sure of persuading Dong Zhuo to come back, not to mention that Dong Zhuo was enjoying himself now, and even Li Ru might not be able to please him.

Seeing that Li Ru's mood had eased, Li Yi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'm telling my husband about this matter. I don't want him to speak up and advise me. I just want him to think of a proper way and then advise me."

Li Ru looked at Li Yi when he heard the words, his eyes lit up, and he asked, "Do you have a plan?"
