The Three Kingdoms: General Yu She, reincarnated a hundred times.

……

Unwilling to hear Dong Zhuo's accusations, Li Ru's expression brightened with joy. "Prime Minister, this is good news."

Dong Zhuo's anger intensified, and he almost grabbed the lamp on the table and smashed it at Li Ru, but seeing Li Ru's thin and weak appearance, he held back and gritted his teeth to question him.

"A good thing? Ha! Do you also think I should give my daughter to him as a hostage?"

"How can this be called a hostage? This is clearly a marriage alliance between two families, a wish to establish a good relationship, and a bride being sent to his household."

This is excellent! The Prime Minister should act accordingly!

"you…!!!"

Seeing Dong Zhuo's anger, Li Ru quickly stepped forward to pat his back to calm him down, and spoke gently and patiently to explain to him.

"The Prime Minister should consider matters of national importance and not act rashly. There are other reasons behind this matter, and I will explain them to you in detail."

Now that Niu Fu has been defeated by Bai Bo, the situation in Guanzhong is becoming increasingly dire. Our army has little time left to waste in this wasteful battle with the allied forces of the various lords.

If we can use this opportunity to form a marriage alliance and gain Sun Jian's assistance, causing him to defect on the battlefield and cooperate with our army from within and without, then a great victory over the allied forces of the feudal lords will be within our grasp.

If the threat from the feudal lords can be temporarily averted, the prime minister can then calmly withdraw and return to Guanzhong to deal with the problems of the Bai Bo and the Xiongnu.

Otherwise, to avoid being bogged down in this place by the feudal lords and causing chaos in the rear, the only way out is to move the capital to Chang'an.

Upon hearing Li Ru's words and thinking of the threats from the Bai Bo and Xiongnu in the rear, Dong Zhuo calmed down somewhat, but still retorted angrily.

"Getting Sun Jian to defect on the battlefield and coordinate an attack from within is not so easy. What if he agrees to the marriage alliance on the surface but then secretly goes against it?"

Li Ru then said with a smile, "As the saying goes, empty words are no proof, this is the beauty of sending a daughter."

Once this woman enters Sun Jian's camp, regardless of whether he is truly sincere about the marriage or whether he is outwardly compliant but inwardly defiant, she will fall into the Prime Minister's trap.

We only need to report this matter to Yuan Shao. When the other lords investigate Sun Jian's camp, they will find that the Prime Minister has even sent his daughter away as a hostage. How trustworthy is that? How dare he say that he did not secretly communicate with the Prime Minister?

The perpetrator has been caught red-handed; what more is there to say?

If this is the case, Sun Jian will have no choice but to rebel. With his help, the Chancellor will be in disarray, and the other warlords will be scattered. Then, the great cause can be accomplished, and the world can be pacified.

"This…"

Upon hearing this, Dong Zhuo hesitated. "Wen You means to send a woman to sow discord among the feudal lords?"

"Prime Minister, there are many enemies among the feudal lords, and many covet the lands of others. If we can ignite a war and make them fight each other, this disorganized group will surely collapse without a fight!"

Li Ru, a close ally of Dong Zhuo, seized the opportunity to urgently advise him.

"If the Prime Minister desires to conquer the world, why should he hesitate over a single woman?"

After much hesitation, Dong Zhuo finally gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, I'll follow your plan."

Li Ru then turned to Li Jue and inquired in detail about his time in Sun Jian's tent. Li Jue hurriedly recounted how Sun Jian had been disrespectful to the Prime Minister, but unexpectedly, Li Ru's face lit up with joy.

"Good! If Sun Wentai readily agrees to this, I'll suspect he has a scheme."

His reluctance and long hesitation before finally answering, coupled with his insistence that the Prime Minister send his daughter first to reassure him, didn't seem like a trick. It was more like he was forced to do it because of some unavoidable reason.

Upon hearing this, Li Jue seemed to remember something, suddenly realizing what was happening, and hurriedly exclaimed:

"It was precisely because he had no choice that Mr. Wen was so resourceful!"

When I entered Sun Jian's camp, I saw that the soldiers around me were emaciated and their morale was low, clearly having run out of food for several days.

When I requested an audience with Sun Jian, I was told that Sun Jian had already gone to Yuan Shu to collect grain and would not return for half a day before I was able to meet him.

"Oh! It seems that General Sun's days in the Allied Forces are not easy either."

I had long heard that Yuan Gonglu was short-sighted and ambitious. This must be because he feared that Sun Jian would achieve too much merit and grow too powerful, thus breaking away from his control. Therefore, he cut off his supplies to keep him in check.

Presumably, Sun Jian had just suffered a humiliation at Yuan Shu's hands and was unwilling to be controlled by others at every turn. He was planning to seek another way to establish himself when he met General Li.

This marriage alliance was made possible entirely by Yuan Shu's efforts.

After a moment's thought, Li Ru told Dong Zhuo:

"This matter is undoubtedly serious and should be done quickly, otherwise things may change."

Dong Zhuo then ordered Li Jue to first reply to Sun Jian and reach an alliance, while on the other hand, he ordered someone to go to Luoyang to bring his daughter over.

……

Sun Jian's main tent.

When they heard that Li Jue had arrived again, Yuan Shu, Gongsun Zan, Tao Qian, Kong Rong, Liu Bei, Cao Cao and others had already gathered in his tent to discuss how to mobilize troops for the siege the next day.

Cao Cao was invited by Yuan Shu at Yu She's special request. When Yuan Shu heard that Yu She wanted to invite Cao Cao to join their small group, he did not believe it at first.

"Cao Cao? Isn't that the little brother who follows his concubines and illegitimate sons around all day long?"

"Can he abandon that illegitimate son and follow me?"

Regarding whether Cao Cao would join, Yu She would naturally not believe it if he hadn't experienced the previous life, but that's not the case now.

In that lifetime, Yu She was close friends with Li Jue and Lü Bu, and followed Dong Zhuo all the way to Chang'an. It seemed that his future was limitless.

Unfortunately, none of the other warlords arrived at this time, but Cao Cao, in his foolishness, insisted on leading his men to catch up and kill him!

In addition, Yu She had heard of Cao Cao's attempt to assassinate Dong Zhuo with a knife, as his wanted posters were circulated throughout the land.

It is evident that, at least in terms of determination to eliminate the traitor Dong Zhuo and restore the Han Dynasty, no one could surpass Cao Cao.

Therefore, Yu She decided to let Yuan Shu give it a try, hoping that Cao Cao might come to his aid for the sake of the Han Dynasty.

"The main reason is that, having reached this point in this life, Yu She is now completely empty-handed."

Those strategies that were of similar quality, had the same effect, and were similar to Cao Cao's ideas, have almost all been used up.

If he doesn't call over someone who can offer advice, he won't know how to continue making things up if Yuan Shu asks him for suggestions.

But things would be different if Cao Cao were alive!

What a coincidence! She thought the same thing. Mengde's words are indeed similar to my own!

……

Upon learning of their plan, Cao Cao, who was determined to restore the Han Dynasty but was being controlled by such cowards, resolutely joined them.

Fortunately, Cao Cao joined them; otherwise, the secrets would have been compromised and caused serious harm.

The reason why Yuan Shu and others were able to temporarily deceive Yuan Shao and his group and secretly gather with Sun Jian to discuss important matters was entirely due to Cao Cao, Yuan Shao's confidant, who acted as a mediator and covered for them.

At this moment, everyone in the tent was surprised to hear that Li Jue had come to visit. As Yu She's prediction had come true, Yuan Shu had already boasted about it.

Everyone's eyes immediately turned to the mastermind behind all of this, Yu She, a general under Yuan Shu.

Yu She didn't even raise his eyes, but merely smiled faintly as he looked back at the other lords, calmly saying to Cao Cao:

"I saw that Cao Cao's brows relaxed upon hearing this news, which suggests that he had already made up his mind, or perhaps his thoughts were similar to those of She Zhi."

Let us now attempt to discuss this.
