Three Kingdoms: I choose Xiao Qiao and Da Qiao, why are you crying, Diao Chan?

Chapter 5 Are you... starting over again?

Lu Bu had no idea what Diao Chan was thinking, and even if he knew, he wouldn't care.

Now he was just waiting for Dong Zhuo's death and then leaving Chang'an for Lujiang.

Then use your own abilities to conquer a territory!
Before Cao Cao's power rose, he had the strength to contend with him.

After all, compared with Shu and Wu, Cao Wei is the most terrifying enemy!
While he was thinking about these things, someone suddenly grabbed his arm from behind!

Lu Bu turned around suddenly and found that the person who grabbed him was wearing a Liang crown and had a gloomy face.

It was Dong Zhuo’s son-in-law and think tank—Li Ru and Li Wenyu!
Of course, in the official history, the other party and Dong Zhuo were not necessarily father-in-law and son-in-law.

Before Lu Bu could speak, Li Ru shouted:

"How dare you, a man named Lu, to murder Grand Tutor Dong!"

Lu Bu was secretly shocked.

As expected of a top strategist in the late Han Dynasty, he is indeed quite powerful.

The other party probably guessed something and came to test him on purpose.

But he is no longer the same Lu Bu.

In his previous life, he was not only well-versed in history and military affairs, but also a seasoned veteran in the workplace.

He is able to read people's expressions and get along with everyone, and his wisdom and strategy are no less than those of the strategists of the Three Kingdoms.

Moreover, no matter how powerful a strategist is, he cannot read minds and cannot know his true thoughts.

Lu Bu immediately calmed down and asked with a puzzled look on his face:
"Why do you say that, Dr. Li?"

Li Ru snorted coldly:

"The situation in Chang'an is not stable yet, and the rebels around us have not been cleared out.

"At this time, if you and Wang Yun instigate the Grand Tutor to succeed to the throne, aren't you pushing the Grand Tutor straight into the fire pit?

"If this isn't murder, then what is it?!"

Looking at Li Ru gritting his teeth, Lu Bu helplessly held his forehead:
"I have no grudge against my foster father, why would I want to murder him?
"Do you think I have the brains, or Wang Situ has the courage?"

Li Ru fell silent, feeling that what the other party said seemed to make some sense.

Lu Bu continued righteously:
"Don't you think the Han Dynasty is doomed and don't want to see my adoptive father ascend the throne?
"If my foster father accepts the throne and becomes emperor, won't you and I also be able to ascend to heaven in broad daylight?"

Li Ru didn't see any flaws on Lu Bu's face.

Although the timing is not right, if it can really solve the various problems encountered by the Grand Tutor after he became emperor, he naturally also hopes that the Grand Tutor will become emperor.

By then, as the first strategist, his status will also rise.

But is it really that simple to receive Zen?
He felt uneasy, but he couldn't stop Master Dong who was also eager to become emperor...

After a moment of silence, Li Ru sighed secretly.

It seems we need to prepare for both situations.

It would be best if the Grand Tutor could successfully ascend the throne. If something unexpected happened, he would have to find a way to protect himself...

Thinking of this, he raised his head and looked at Lu Bu, who had a calm expression, and said sternly:

"You'd better not find evidence for me. Otherwise, I will report to the Grand Tutor and have you, a slave of three surnames, executed!"

After saying that, he shook his sleeves, turned around and left.

Lu Bu looked at the other person's back, with a hint of coldness in his eyes.

Li Ru was a famous poisonous strategist in the Three Kingdoms period and had a bad reputation.

Although he is a modern man, he still has some appreciation for the characters of the Three Kingdoms.

But when he really got into it, he found that he didn't like this Li Ru.

After a little thought, Lu Bu gave up the idea of ​​luring the other party to his side.

This person is extremely intelligent but has a vicious heart. He dare not keep such a person around him.

Maybe one day, the other party will bite you back!
Lu Bu immediately turned around and left the Grand Tutor's Mansion.

……

In the next few days, Lü Bu ostensibly helped Dong Zhuo to build momentum in the city, but secretly discussed with Wang Yun the specific details of how to punish the thief.

That day, Wang Yun called Lü Bu to his study and handed him two imperial edicts and a customs clearance document:

"Here. One imperial edict to punish the rebels, and one imperial edict to reward the emperor.

"Your Majesty admires Marquis Wen very much, and hopes that Marquis Wen will be loyal to you!"

Looking at the contents of the edict, Lu Bu was overjoyed!
The imperial edict to suppress the rebels doesn't matter.

The key is this reward edict, which not only appointed him as the prefect of Lujiang and General Fenwei, but also appointed him concurrently as the governor of Yangzhou!
Although the Inspectors during this period had little real power due to Liu Yan's "abolishing the Inspector and establishing the Governor", their status was still higher than that of the local governor.

With this relationship, his influence will be greater after he takes office.

The local noble families are likely to become close to him because of this.

By then, his military power will expand rapidly!
Lu Bu immediately bowed to Wang Yun and thanked him, but the other party held his arm.

Wang Yun said solemnly:
"This is a gift from heaven, Your Majesty. I hope Marquis Wen will live up to your trust!"

Lu Bu nodded vigorously.

In history, after Lu Bu got rid of Dong Zhuo, Emperor Xian of Han did trust him quite a bit.

After all, in the mind of Liu Xie, who was only eleven or twelve years old at the time, Lu Bu, who helped him get rid of the thief Dong, was simply a great hero in his mind!

But now he can only apologize secretly.

No matter how much Emperor Xian thought highly of him, he couldn't help him rebuild the Han Dynasty!
When he has that strength, I'm afraid he won't be able to control himself.

Therefore, the demise of the Han Dynasty may be inevitable.

If he really reaches that height in the future, the only thing he can do is to give the other person a happy ending as much as possible...

Of course, it’s too early to think about this now.

Lu Bu immediately left Wang Yun's study, returned home with the two imperial edicts, and ordered someone to invite Gao Shun.

In the guest room, Lu Bu handed Gao Shun the reward edict and customs clearance documents:
"Remember to keep it carefully."

Gao Shun looked at the contents of the edict and was overjoyed!
But he suddenly thought of something, looked at Lu Bu deeply, and asked tentatively:

"Wen Hou, are you also... starting over again?"

"Huh? Do it again? What does that mean?" Lu Bu looked at the other party in confusion.

"No, it's nothing."

Seeing Wen Hou's expression, Gao Shun immediately realized that the other party was different from himself.

However, Wen Hou's current performance is indeed very different from what he remembered.

As far as I can remember, after killing Dong Zhuo, the other party was forced to leave because Li Jue and Guo Si captured Chang'an.

But this time, he took the initiative to choose to leave.

Was it because his rebirth caused a chain reaction?
Or did something miraculous happen to Wen Hou, or was there an expert guiding him behind the scenes?
Gao Shun couldn't understand.

With his wisdom as a warrior, he can only play a supporting role even after rebirth.

It's not easy to change history.

But when he saw that his master was moving in a good direction, he suddenly felt the burden on his shoulders was lightened a lot.

Maybe this time, the fate of him and Wen Hou will really change!

He collected his thoughts, put away the imperial edict, and left.

Lu Bu looked at the other person's departing back, a hint of doubt in his eyes.

What does the other party mean when they say “try it again”?
After a slight hesitation, Lu Bu suddenly thought of a possibility and gradually opened his eyes wide!

Could it be that... Gao Shun, like him, was also transported through time?

No, that's not right.

If this is the case, the other party would not use the phrase "do it again".

The only possibility is... Gao Shun was reborn! ?
