Reborn in the Three Kingdoms, I stole Liu Bei's uncle
Chapter 89 Li Ru's Confidence
In Luoyang City, Dong Zhuo's 200,000-man army was ready. Dong Zhuo, wearing armor and riding on a Xiliang horse, looked at the endless army. He was full of pride. He had not led troops to war for a long time, but when he put on this armor, a long-lost sense of familiarity still came to his mind.
Many years ago, Dong Zhuo liked this feeling very much, light and free, galloping on horseback, shooting arrows with both hands and never missing their targets.
Countless people died under his arrows, and seeing the enemies groaning in pain under his horse's hooves was the most enjoyable thing in those years.
This time he led his troops to the battle, he wanted to experience this long-lost pleasure again. He wanted to make Liu Yu crawl at his feet and beg for mercy in pain. He wanted to let all the princes know that Dong Zhongying was a mountain that they could never cross. In front of this mountain, the only thing he could do was to pay homage to him. Anyone who dared to try to cross this mountain would have only one result, and that was death.
"Set off."
Following Dong Zhuo's order, the army slowly set out.
The Xiliang cavalry was in front, and the infantry was behind. In between the cavalry and infantry, there was a carriage that looked particularly abrupt. Several riders were surrounding the carriage, their eyes alert and cautious. There were two old men sitting in the carriage, both with slightly gray hair. One of them was resting with his eyes closed, and the other was thinking with his head down.
After the carriage left the city, it was a bit bumpy on the uneven road. The man bowed his head and thought deeply, then suddenly said, "Wenhe, stop pretending to sleep. The road is bumpy and you can't sleep."
Jia Xu opened his eyes, smiled faintly and said, "I just didn't dare to say more because I was afraid of disturbing Lord Li's thoughts."
Li Ru smiled slightly. He recognized Jia Xu's talent. If Jia Xu was not as good as himself in planning the general situation of the world, he was slightly better than himself in grasping the subtleties of people's hearts.
But there was one thing that Li Ru did not understand. Although Jia Xu was very talented, he seldom offered advice on his own initiative. If there was no business, he would stay in his house most of the time and seldom go out. Gradually, Li Ru also figured out Jia Xu's temper, and would go out to ask him questions when there was something. Although Jia Xu did not say much, he was always able to hit the nail on the head and get to the point.
"Wenhe, Ru was just thinking that after the fish belly incident in Luoyang last time, Liu Yu has not taken any action in Luoyang City. This incident has always made Ru feel apprehensive. Wenhe, tell me, will he take advantage of the Prime Minister's absence to make trouble again?"
Jia Xu smiled and said, "Luoyang City is well guarded. They have limited manpower and cannot cause any trouble for the time being."
Li Ru nodded. After the last incident, he had manpower all over Luoyang. As long as there was anything abnormal, they would be arrested immediately. However, these people seemed to have disappeared out of thin air in Luoyang City, and there was no trace of them anymore.
So many days have passed, and Luoyang City is calm without a single ripple. The calmer the situation, the more worried Li Ru feels, because he knows that underneath the calm, there must be undercurrents, and these undercurrents must be waiting for the day to erupt. When the day comes, it will definitely be a storm.
He carefully pondered the meaning of Jia Xu's words and keenly discovered a word.
"What does the word 'temporarily' mean?"
Jia Xu smiled lightly.
"Liu Yu's men in Luoyang City definitely did not evacuate. The reason they disappeared was probably because they were waiting for an opportunity."
Li Ru suddenly realized, yes, this opportunity is this expedition. If the prime minister wins, they will not dare to act rashly. If the prime minister fails, how can these people miss the opportunity to make trouble in Luoyang.
Li Ru sneered. In his mind, this opportunity would not appear, never appear.
"Fengxian's courage is unparalleled in the world. They will never wait for this opportunity."
Li Ru sneered, with a hint of arrogance in his laughter.
Jia Xu did not smile, there was no expression on his face. He was like a stone sculpture, sitting quietly in the car.
Lu Bu was brave, but fighting on the battlefield could not directly determine the victory of a war. In addition to fighting, there were many other methods that were hard to guard against, such as using spies and schemes. Jia Xu didn't know what Liu Yu's next plan would be, but he felt that this plan must be for Lu Bu. After the last incident, the attack on Lu Bu just started and then stopped abruptly. In Jia Xu's eyes, this was abnormal. He thought that the attack on Luoyang City would not stop so quickly. Who knew that since the fish belly incident, Liu Yu had never taken any action again.
If this action did not occur in Luoyang City, it would definitely happen in front of Hulao Pass.
"Liu Yu is very wise, Lord Li should not be underestimated."
"Liu Yu is a capable man, but we are not facing him alone, but more than a dozen princes."
This sentence sounded a little difficult to understand, but Jia Xu immediately understood what Li Ru meant. If these troops were led by Liu Yu alone, it would be difficult to defeat him. But now there are more than a dozen princes, so there are more than a dozen ideas. Although Liu Yu is powerful, he can't stand someone stabbing him in the back.
"Looking at Lord Li's confidence, he must have come up with a plan."
"If Ru's prediction is correct, the Guandong coalition will soon face turmoil, and this turmoil will be the best opportunity to destroy them."
After saying this, the carriage returned to calm. Jia Xu continued to close his eyes and rest, while Li Ru still lowered his head in deep thought. The expressions of the two at this moment were the same as before, without any change.
No one knows what kind of feelings are hidden beneath the calm surface.
Li Ru's thoughts had already followed the official road, passed through Hulao Pass, and arrived at the allied camp.
Soon, he will have a contest with Liu Yu here. The victory or defeat of this contest is not only related to his personal honor and disgrace, but also to the fate of countless people. If he wins, the prime minister will sweep the world and will have no rivals from then on. When that time comes, let alone the Han Dynasty, even changing the era name to Gengshi is not impossible.
Although during the reign of Emperor Wu, the throne of the emperor was granted by God through the myth of the Three Strategies of Heaven and Man, Li Ru always scoffed at it, because he knew that it was just a means to fool the people. On the stone of the Qin Dynasty, there were eight big characters written: "Received the Mandate from Heaven, Long Live and Prosper", but in the end, he lost the whole world.
There is no such thing as divine right of kings in this world. If there really is divine right of kings, many years ago, God would have given this authority to a rogue village headman who did nothing all day.
There are only two words that matter in this world, and that is strength. If you want to become stronger, you have to be more ruthless and merciless than others.
The divine right of kings is a joke, a huge joke. He clearly remembers that before this joke appeared, there was a sentence that stirred people's hearts and made people unforgettable for a long time.
Princes and generals, I would rather be kind!
