The Reincarnation of Lu Bu at the End of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 560 Variables
The imperial edict soon spread to Fengqiu.

Li Jue and Guo Si listened with anxiety, and then heaved a sigh of relief. The harder the court scolded, the greater their hope of being pardoned.

Sure enough, at the end of the imperial edict, there was a judgment against the two of them—demotion and retention.

As the remnant of Dong thief who everyone in the world shouts and beats, it is a blessing to be able to survive.It is a great grace to be able to be relegated and retained now.

The two were overjoyed, and after receiving the order, they pulled the envoy into the tent and entertained them.

Back then, there were countless brave generals under Dong Zhuo's command, but after Dong Zhuo's death, they either died or fled.

Among them, Niu Fu, the most powerful, was killed a few days ago, and Hu Chi'er, the subordinate army, took advantage of it; He went south with his nephew in the direction of Wancheng. It is said that he listened to a scribe named Jia.

Now that Li and Guo chose to surrender to the imperial court, Dong Zhuo's remaining forces basically collapsed completely.

Before the imperial envoy left, Li Jue and Guo Si did not forget to present a large sum of gold, silver and jewelry.The envoy glanced at the two of them, Li Jue and Guo Si laughed along with him, the envoy showed contempt in his eyes, and with a low snort of disdain, he accepted all the property with a smile.

Then, under the leadership of Li Jue and Guo Si, he embarked on the journey back to Chang'an.

However, this returning team hadn't gone far when they were suddenly intercepted and killed.Everyone's head was cut off, and the remaining limbs were disassembled and chopped up. The cruel method is terrifying.

What is puzzling is that the team of more than a hundred people who broke out halfway was led by a gloomy Confucian scholar in a light blue shirt.

Fengqiu Barracks.

Li and Guo, who had sent off the envoys from the court, returned to the big tent, and they both heaved a sigh of relief, finally putting an end to their worries.

From today onwards, they no longer have to bear the title of remnants of Dong thieves, like rats crossing the street.

At this time, a soldier came to report: "General, there is someone outside the village asking to see him. He claims to be an old friend of the two generals."

Hearing this, Li Jue and Guo Si looked at each other with doubts on their faces. Apart from Fan Chou and Zhang Ji, there should be no one else.

"Has anyone reported their name?" Guo Si asked.

The soldier shook his head and replied truthfully: "The man didn't say anything, he only said that the two generals will know when they see it."

Li Jue thought for a while, and after exchanging eyes with Guo Bang, he quickly made a decision: "Bring him in."

After a while, the soldiers who had taken orders arrived outside the tent again.

Behind him, there is a scribe in a light blue shirt, with a slightly gloomy appearance, especially those sunken eyes, like dormant poisonous snakes.

The smile hanging from the corner of his mouth seemed to be absent, giving people a cold impression, but also a feeling of conceit.

When Li Jue and Guo Si saw this person, the expression on his face was extremely surprised, and he took a breath in his heart at the same time, Li Ru!

Ever since Cao Cao and Yuan Shao attacked Luoyang at night, Dong Zhuo's chief counselor had disappeared, and everyone believed that Li Ru had died in the chaos of the war.

Unexpectedly, this guy is still alive, and it seems to be better than imagined.

"General Li, General Guo, long time no see, are you okay?" Li Ru had a bright smile on his face, and he took the initiative to say hello, as an old friend whom he hadn't seen for a long time, reunited after a long absence.

The happier Li Ru smiled, the more uncertain Li Jue and Guo Si were.It's not been a day or two since the two of them knew Li Ru, and it's definitely not a good thing to come to him at this time.

Guo Bang has already quietly pressed his hand on the handle of the knife on his waist, ready to kill the person in front of him at any time.I dare not say anything else, but in terms of force alone, he can kill Li Ru in just one round.

If his head was sent to the imperial court, it might be a great achievement.

Li Jue shook his head slightly at this. Among other things, Li Ru in his cognition would never do such an unsure thing.

He dared to come here alone today, which means that he still has a backhand.

For the sake of everyone serving Dong Gong in the past, Li Jue didn't want to embarrass Li Ru, so he issued an expulsion order, wanting to draw a clear line with Li Ru: "You go, we don't know you."

However, Li Ru didn't seem to have heard it, and walked into the tent, found a seat and sat down casually, with a bit of sarcasm in his tone: "Could it be that the two generals still expect to submit to the court?"

"It's not hope, it's already surrendered to the court."

Li Jue spoke eloquently, and at this time, he was not afraid to tell the truth to Li Ru.

Unexpectedly, there was no surprise on Li Ru's face, but a sneering smile, poured a glass of fine wine, and after taking a sip leisurely, he said with a full smile: "If you count on the imperial court, the two generals will be disappointed. The team you returned from here has all been wiped out, and it is estimated that only bones are left after being bitten by wild dogs."

"Oh, by the way, by the way, I also let people out, saying that the two generals were dissatisfied with the court's reprimand, and killed the court envoy to vent their anger."

Li Ru said it calmly, but to Li Jue and Guo Si's ears, he was completely dumbfounded, like being hit by a thunderbolt from the blue sky.

Guo Bang, who had reacted, directly pulled out his waist knife, raised his face full of anger, and rushed forward, yelling angrily: "Li Ru, you mad dog! You want to die yourself, why do you drag us!"

This time Li Jue didn't stop him anymore, because he also wished to cut Li Ru into five horses immediately, so as to relieve the hatred in his heart.

Life and death are imminent!

Li Ru, who was sitting in his seat, did not move at all. He neither begged for mercy nor showed any fear on his face. He just said in a flat tone as before: "Do you think that if you submit to the court, you will have a way to survive?"

The blade cut off by Guo Bang flickered with a cold light, and stopped abruptly in mid-air.

"The imperial court has granted us a pardon, so how can we go back on our word!" He questioned.

"What about after that? Who can guarantee that the ministers in the DPRK will not just put the two generals to death for crimes? You know, when the grand master was in power, they were often humiliated by the two generals. What do you think? , can they swallow this breath?"

Li Ru's words can be said to be heartbreaking.

Sure enough, Li and Guo hesitated after listening.

"Mr. Dong treated me well, so we naturally remember. It's not that we are ungrateful, it's just that we are incapable. With only seven or eight thousand soldiers in our hands, we are powerless to fight against the imperial court."

Li Jue sighed, if possible, who would not want to be above ten thousand people.

After Li Ru heard this, he got up suddenly, pointed to the south, and shouted loudly: "A few years ago, a group of peasants wearing yellow scarves dared to rise up, and even almost invaded Luoyang. Could it be that the two generals have led the army for many years, and they are not as good as a group of traffickers and pawns?" !"

This loud shout was like enlightenment.

Li Jue and Guo Si were stunned in their original places. Because their opponents were too strong, they never thought of resisting.

"Do you want to be the overlord of one party, or do you want to be a lackey of the imperial court? You two, think about it, and leave!"

With that said, Li Ru left his seat and resolutely went out of the tent.

After Li Jue and Guo Si were dazed for a while, they looked at each other, and in each other's eyes they saw the ferocity of the battle back then.

The court envoy was killed, this has become a fact.

Since there is no way out, why not risk your life to fight him!
Seeing Li Ru leave, the two turned around at the same time, clasped their fists together to persuade them to stay: "Please teach me!"
