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

……

Upon hearing Yu She's words, Li Ru thought to himself that he had just ordered people in Luoyang to arrange for children to sing nursery rhymes. Yu She was in Hulao Pass, all alone, with neither confidants nor subordinates.

How could he know that he had arranged the nursery rhyme?

"There's a mole? Who's the mole?!"

Besides, even if someone is an insider, unless they confess themselves, who could possibly reveal their plans word for word?

After eliminating all the impossible possibilities, only one remains: Could it be... that I'm the mole?

This is impossible! Absolutely impossible!!!

A thousand thoughts raced through his mind, a chaotic jumble of ideas. Li Ru's decades of shrewdness and cunning crumbled in an instant!

He gazed at Yu She's imposing figure before the crowd, a figure that seemed neither human nor ghost, but god!

"This is truly beyond the comprehension of ghosts and gods!"

……

Unlike Li Ru, Dong Zhuo was overjoyed when he first heard Yu She's theory about moving the capital. He felt it was incredibly insightful and enlightening.

He even stood up from his seat and hurriedly stepped forward to shake Yu She's hand.

"Zichuan is a genius of the world!"

The suggestion to move the capital was like a sudden enlightenment to me, as if the clouds had parted to reveal the clear sky.

Lu Bu, who was standing to the side, also raised his head slightly, feeling honored. This feeling was very familiar, just like when someone praised his Red Hare for crossing water as if it were flat ground, and said it was the best steed in the world!

"Godfather, don't you even look at yourself!"

Zichuan is the Red Hare, the halberd, and the purple-gold crown that binds his hair!

If he offers a suggestion, it will surely be the best course of action!

……

On the contrary, Yu She was full of humility and repeatedly declined.

"You flatter me, Prime Minister!"

What merit or ability does he possess to be called a genius of the world? His schemes are merely crude and inadequate; he still needs Wen You's guidance.

As Yu She spoke, he bowed respectfully to Li Ru, saying, "I am new here and lack talent and knowledge. I am afraid that my thoughts may be inadequate and I may delay the important affairs of the Prime Minister."

I would appreciate your guidance, Mr. Wen, so that I may fill in the gaps in my knowledge.

Dong Zhuo was even more pleased to see Li Ru's respectful attitude.

Earlier, when Li Ru was offering his advice, Yu She interrupted him, his words implying a competitive spirit. Dong Zhuo could see this, as Yu She was new to the area and eager to make a name for himself, which was only natural.

Moreover, the two strategists were refining their plans and filling in any gaps, which was exactly what Dong Zhuo wanted to see, so he let them be.

But Dong Zhuo at the time could never have imagined that Yu She's plan to move the capital was truly ingenious and brilliant.

Seeing that he was not arrogant despite his power, but instead humbly asked Li Ru for advice, giving his senior face, how could Dong Zhuo not be pleased with such a talented yet sensible and humble young man?

Seeing that Li Ru hesitated to speak and remained silent, while Yu She continued to bow, Dong Zhuo realized that this was not what he wanted to see and felt that Li Ru was being too arrogant.

He frowned, coughed lightly, and said, "Zichuan humbly seeks your guidance, so why doesn't Wenyou speak?"

Unexpectedly, Yu She, seeing this, kindly spoke up for Li Ru, saying, "Prime Minister, please don't blame me. Wen You's wisdom is ten times that of me. He must be thinking of a good plan for you."

Perhaps his strategy far surpasses Yu's plan to relocate the capital; it remains to be seen. It was truly my fault for abruptly interrupting his thoughts and asking for his guidance.

The more sensible Yu She was, the more ungrateful Li Ru seemed. If Li Ru weren't his son-in-law and his closest confidant, Dong Zhuo would have been furious by now.

Dong Zhuo was quite surprised. Previously, Li Ru had said that he was overjoyed to have such a talented person as Yu She to help him achieve his great cause.

Seeing that Yu She had come up with a brilliant plan that outmaneuvered him, Li Ru was the one who was now looking displeased.

Instead of quickly helping him win over Yu She, this extraordinary talent, he's just standing here, is he being dissenting or just clueless?

Dong Zhuo's tone had turned cold. "Wen You, if you truly have a plan far superior to moving the capital, why not speak of it?"

Li Ru: "..."

"I'm not speaking, does that mean I don't want to speak?"

I don't know what to say!

Guidance?

He read my mind like a mind reader, and told me everything I was thinking. What right did I have to give him any advice?

Far superior to the plan of moving the capital?

This dog is ripping off my plan to relocate the capital!

Seeing that Yu She hesitated to bow and refuse to get up, and that Dong Zhuo and the others were all looking at him, Li Ru finally forced a smile and gritted his teeth to utter eight words slowly and deliberately.

"Zichuan's strategy is the same as Confucianism."

Besides that, he really didn't know what to say, or what he could say.

His mind was filled with wild thoughts, and he couldn't calm down for a long time. For a moment, he even suspected that Yu She in front of him was a sorcerer like Zhang Jiao in the legends, who knew magic and could read minds.

Otherwise, he simply couldn't understand what was going on in front of him.

Could it really be such a coincidence? Yu She's thoughts and concerns just happen to be exactly the same as my own?

However, Li Ru was filled with a mix of doubts, confusion, and horror at this moment, which he could not share with anyone else.

What did he say to Dong Zhuo? He said that Yu She's plan was exactly the same as his own.

Then Dong Zhuo will surely ask, "You haven't even spoken of your plan yet, how could Yu She know it? Could it be that you are narrow-minded and can't stand that Yu She's talent is superior to yours, so you speak of currying favor?"

Li Ru: "..."

"Yeah, how did he know? I want to know too!"

Gradually, I lost my voice. It wasn't that I wanted to be silent, but rather that I had something to say but couldn't.

Li Ru stared silently at Yu She, who was bowing respectfully to him as if performing the disciple's salute. He felt as if Yu She was a ghost or a god, and his hair stood on end in fear.

……

Li Ru couldn't express his fear, and Dong Zhuo couldn't figure out what was wrong with him today. Fortunately, Yu She's plan to move the capital had relieved him of his great worry, so he stopped paying attention to Li Ru and just pulled Yu She aside with a big smile to discuss the matter of moving the capital.

And this is exactly what Yu She was waiting for!

"Although She was not a good person, Mr. Yan taught him: 'A gentleman, when he sees animals alive, cannot bear to see them die; when he hears their cries, he cannot bear to eat their flesh.'"

If even beasts behave this way, how much more so should humans?

If we do not harm ourselves and are within our power, how can we turn two hundred miles of Luoyang into scorched earth and cause the suffering of millions of people without ever seeing it?

How could I bear to do that!

However, Dong Zhuo's relocation of the capital was unavoidable; after all, even if Yu She hadn't brought it up, Li Ru would have.

If Dong Zhuo is to abandon the plan to move the capital, then a more feasible and better strategy than moving the capital must be devised.

Yang Hong simply couldn't figure it out.

For Dong Zhuo, who was currently besieged by the warlords outside the pass and the White Wave Alliance behind him, there was no better strategy than to temporarily retreat, let the warlords fight amongst themselves, and then sweep away the world when the situation changed.

Therefore, when Yu She sincerely sought advice many times, which annoyed Yang Hong, he finally came up with a second-best solution.

Just like now!
