Chapter 474

The majestic city of Luoyang.

In Shangshu's mansion, in the closed meeting hall, Zhou Se, the Shangshu of the dynasty, and five or six ministers of the dynasty were sitting.

"My lords, have you heard that Zong Zhengqing and Liu Zhi's house was ransacked yesterday. It involved men, women and children in the mansion, a total of more than 100 people, even babies in their infancy, alas..."

"Who says it's not? Think about the Yuan family, there are more than 200 members in one family, and which one survived. Poor, Mr. Yuan was loyal all his life..."

Hearing these words, Shangshu Zhouse sighed and sighed again and again.Recalling that some time ago, he and Yuan Kai were still plotting to kill Dong Zhuo.As a result, Dong Zhuo was not dead yet, but Yuan Kai went there first, and ended up beheaded all over the house.

"Now it can only be entrusted to Yuan Benchu ​​and the others. To defeat Dong Zhuo at Hulao Pass, it would be best to kill him!" the servant Liang Shi gritted his teeth angrily.

"Ah...it's hard to win!" Left servant She Zhangcheng sighed and shook his head, "I heard that before the Hulao Pass, Wen Hou Lu Bu was unstoppable in his bravery, and single-handedly defeated countless generals in the coalition army. limelight."

"The left servant is worrying too much. On the battlefield, it is about the strength of both sides. No matter how powerful an individual is, it will not play a decisive role." Shang Chang, an admonishing doctor, expressed different opinions. The Qiang people have several years of combat experience.He clearly understands that war is about the distribution and deployment of the commander and the disparity in the strength of the two sides, and personal bravery is only second.

"By the way, do you have any news from Hulao Pass recently?" Shangshu Zhouse asked the rest of the people.

Several people looked at each other, sighed and shook their heads.

In recent days, all the city gates in Luoyang have been closed tightly, and no one is allowed to go out or come in.The news could not be conveyed at all, and everyone in the court was in danger.

"Li Ru said that he wanted to catch some rebellious thief who overthrew the Han Dynasty, but no one in the world knows that his master Dong Zhuo is the biggest villain in the world!"

Speaking of resentment, the servant Liang Shi slammed his fist on the table, making a loud 'bang'.

All the people present seemed to be familiar with the strangeness, Shang Shu Zhou Se's calm tone contained a bit of warning: "Liang Shilang, it's fine to talk about these things in my house. After you go out, don't talk nonsense. Your house, there are still There are nearly a hundred wives and children.”

Liang Shi returned to his seat unwillingly, and Guo Lan, the doctor next to him, nodded and said: "Shangshu Zhou is right, this guy Li Ru is a mad dog, who catches and bites whoever he catches. We, in the future, we should avoid it." It's better to get together, so as not to fall into the trap of others."

After the Yuan family was wiped out, Li Ru arrested many officials one after another, but no one who had any connection with the princes of the Guandong was spared, and more than a thousand people were implicated and died.

The purpose of Li Ru's actions: he would rather kill by mistake than slip through the net.

Speaking of Li Ru, the admonishing doctor still often stood up unhurriedly, stroked his gray beard, and said to everyone confidently: "Don't worry, I have already bribed the servants of Li Ru's mansion a few days ago, let him Find an opportunity to poison the food and drink to kill Li Ru."

Hearing this, everyone present looked overjoyed, as long as Li Ru died, it would be equivalent to breaking Dong Zhuo's arm.

"After all, it is an old senior who has experienced the battlefield, and his methods are fierce, beyond what ordinary people can think of."

"Foresight and foresight, I am inferior!"

When several people were laughing and flattering Shang Chang, a voice full of jokes sounded: "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you all."

At the door, there was a soft 'creak', and the closed door was pushed open.Standing at the door was a scribe in a dark blue shirt with a scarf and a smile on his face.

With his smile, everyone in the hall felt a chill in their hearts.

Li Ru waved his hand lightly, and the soldiers behind him pushed the hall door open and stepped in.

"Wait!"

Zhou Se shouted, looked at Li Ru and asked, "Li Shangshu, why did you lead troops to force your way into the old man's mansion?"

There were five ministers at the time, and Li Ru was one of them.

"Let's gather a crowd to plot chaos, intending to harm the grand master and this minister, and go to prison for a severe trial." Li Ru came here casually for the crime, and what he had to do was to nip all the disasters in the bud.

The soldiers stepped forward to capture Zhou se and others, erected their bodies, and dragged them out.

Most of the people in the hall were from literati background, even with all their strength, they couldn't get rid of these fierce soldiers, so they could only turn their heads and glared at Li Ru, yelling at Li Ru.

"Li Ru, you villain, Lizi, you will surely die in the future!"

"Even if you're a ghost, I won't let you go, you bastard!"

"You jackal, an inhuman beast..."

The insulting voices gradually faded away, maybe it was because they heard them too much, Li Ru didn't seem to care about these harsh voices at all.

Back at the mansion, the scouts from Hulao Pass had been waiting for a long time.

Li Ru took the report he handed over and quickly browsed through it.

After several consecutive days of strong attacks, nearly half of the defenders of Hulao Pass were killed or injured, and the coalition forces of the princes also paid a heavy price of nearly 20 yuan.

If things go on like this, the outcome is worrying.

Seeing the end, Li Ru frowned.He did suggest a surprise attack on the grain and grass camps of the princes, but he did not expect Dong Zhuo to send Lv Bu there.

This is not a good phenomenon.

For some reason, Li Ru was still worried about Lu Bu.He walked to the desk and wrote a quick letter, asking Dong Zhuo to recall Lv Bu and not let the tiger go back to the mountain.

I am afraid that I will break through the iron cage to escape the tiger and leopard, and open the golden lock to escape the dragon".

North of Luoyang City, Beining Street.

On the Qingshi road outside Lu's mansion, there were many soldiers patrolling to and fro, with a gesture of keeping strangers away.Twelve hours throughout the day, there are always people stationed here.

This is also Li Ru's meaning, and the euphemistic name is: 'protection'.

In the courtyard of the mansion, the little guys in light tulle shirts were running around the flower beds.

The four-year-old little Bell ran ahead, followed by two one-and-a-half-year-old brothers, chasing after them like ducks.

The mother-in-law Yan Wei sat in the shade of a tree not far away, threading needles and stitching torn clothes.

"Run slowly, don't fall..."

From time to time, she would chatter and look at the three children with eyes full of love.

The little bell started to run, and the sound of tinkling and ringing in the past disappeared from her waist.She hung the two small bells around Chitu's neck, saying that in this way she could accompany her father and protect him when he returned safely.

When she said this, Little Lingdang raised her face innocently, but it almost moved Lu Bu to tears.

After running for a while, the sweaty little Bell sat on the stone pier of the rockery, soaking her pink and tender feet in the flowing river water, it was icy cold and very refreshing.

The two younger brothers are not tall enough, so they can only lie on the outside of the rockery, stand on tiptoe and slap the water surface with their hands, enjoying the splashing water, and having fun.

Little Bell, who was splashed all over by two naughty brothers, was about to fight back, but when she looked up, she saw an extremely familiar figure.

She was stunned for a moment, and after she realized it, she didn't even bother to put on her shoes, and ran over with bare feet.
