Three Kingdoms

Li Ru looked calmly at the various ministers of the imperial court. At this moment, he seemed to have a feeling, as if he had grown countless times, floating among the clouds, and Wenmingyuan was like a small On the chessboard, each of the important officials of the imperial court is like a wooden chess piece, and he can control them as he pleases.

Li Ru saw Yuan Wei and Wang Yun exchanging glances with each other. Both of them were pretending to be nonchalant, smiling in their hearts without commenting.

Suddenly, there were waves of mountain calls outside the garden like a tidal wave. Everyone quickly turned their heads and looked outside, only to see that it was Dong Zhuo arriving with his troops.

Amidst the shouts of "general might" from the guards, Dong Zhuo, dressed in military uniform, wearing a red cloak and a sword at his waist, dismounted from his horse and strode towards him. Under the slanting reflection of the setting sun, he was extremely shining.

From the moment Dong Zhuo dismounted, some people, mainly military generals, and a small number of civilian officials stood up to salute Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo laughed "haha" all the way, said a few words to this person, and then patted another person on the shoulder. For a while, the whole park became extremely lively.

When Yuan Wei just took the seat, he felt something was vaguely wrong. It was obvious that his plan was going smoothly and every step was taken correctly, but there was a feeling that there was some deviation somewhere.

When Dong Zhuo made a high-profile entrance, Yuan Wei was shocked when he saw the lively scene in front of him. He discovered that there was a big loophole in his own plan, and the color on his face suddenly turned pale.

Yuan Wei had a gloomy face and turned to look at Wang Yun, only to find that Wang Yun was also looking at him. The two people's faces had completely lost the calm look just now, only the panic of being at a loss was left - When did this Xiliang martial artist win over so many generals?

Yuan Wei's heart sank. No wonder he and Wang Yun didn't feel any resistance when they implemented the plan to get Dong Zhuo. It turned out that his opponent didn't pay attention to the civil service at all. Today, he realized that he and Wang Yun had The opponent went in completely two directions, what a miscalculation!

More than 170 years have passed since Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu of the Eastern Han Dynasty to Liu Bian, the Young Emperor of the Han Dynasty. There has been peace for a long time. During this period of more than 100 years, although there were conquests, most of them were within a small area. Even during the recent Yellow Turban Rebellion, these high-ranking officials and nobles in Luoyang City, far away from the battlefield, subconsciously thought that it was just a scabies disease and not of any concern. Now Zhang Jiao and others have been consecrated, including Yuan Wei and Wang Yun. Many civil servants thought they could return to the peaceful days, and began to despise the generals and the army again.

So this time Yuan Wei and Wang Yun teamed up to deal with Dong Zhuo, following the old method of internal strife in the court, smearing each other's reputation, collecting dirty information on the other party, wooing the other party's subordinates, and when the time was right, they found a fuse and broke out in one fell swoop. The opponent will be completely defeated and will never be able to stand up again.

This method has always been effective and practical. Yuan Wei has seen people fall under this method more than once. Even the eunuchs who were responsible for the party's imprisonment used the same method to deal with Yuan Wei and others like him.

Unexpectedly, this time, Yuan Wei felt as if he punched out hard, but the result was nothing. Yuan Wei originally thought that even if Dong Zhuo was a rough man, he would still know how to cherish his reputation. When Yuan Wei and the others incited the Xiliang soldiers to act recklessly, they would definitely be stopped by Dong Zhuo after knowing about it. In this way, they have already tasted How could a low-level soldier who was seeking sweetness stop for the so-called reputation? In particular, Dong Zhuo not only had Xiliang soldiers under his command, but also Qiang and Hu people who didn't know the etiquette and laws, so he was even more susceptible to temptation.

In Yuan Wei's expectation, if this situation continues, Dong Zhuo orders the prohibition on one side, and the lower-level soldiers are tempted by him on the other. In the end, conflicts will definitely break out between Dong Zhuo and his lower-level soldiers, and the outbreak of this conflict This means that Dong Zhuo was given the final blow.

However, I never expected that Dong Zhuo seemed to be unaware of anything during this period, allowing his soldiers to plunder everywhere. Every day, he could see groups of Qiang people getting drunk, violating law and order, and even had several consecutive incidents. He almost got hit by a drunk Qiang and Hu man when he went out.

At that time, Yuan Wei thought he had a plan, but he didn't expect that today, it was not Dong Zhuo who fell into the pit, but himself... Yuan Wei squinted at Wang Yun's face, which was also quite ugly. It seemed that it was not Dong Zhuo who fell into the pit, but himself... Wang Yun also fell into the trap, and felt somewhat comforted.

Yuan Wei sighed secretly in his heart, he didn't expect this Xiliang warrior to be so cunning!

Unlike Yuan Wei's traditional top-down approach to internal strife in the imperial court, Li Ru's approach was to draw fuel from the bottom of the cauldron and start from the bottom up.

Li Ru grew up the Xiliang Army from the blood and fire war in Xiliang. It is not difficult for him to play the tricks of court politics, but in comparison, force is more important. To be more reliable, when the gun barrel is placed on the neck, the pen barrel will not have much effect.

Therefore, when Li Ru discovered that Yuan Wei, Wang Yun and other Kanto nobles were making some small moves, he chose a completely different route from those who had been playing with pens for a long time. He rushed to grab the gun barrel first.

Taking advantage of Yuan Wei and Wang Yun's attention being attracted by the chaos on the street, Li Ru successfully absorbed the soldiers and horses left behind after the death of General He Jin. The surrender of He Jin's generals Wu Kuang, Zhang Zhang and others meant that The power of Dong Zhuo's army has officially become the largest military-based group in the capital city of Luoyang.

When Yuan Wei and Wang Yun were still planning how to attack Dong Zhuo with their pens and words, Li Ru had already held the gun in his hand. This Wenmingyuan banquet was a demonstration, and it could also be regarded as Li Ru's response to Yuan Wei and Wang Yun's previous actions. A kind of retaliation for the card.

It's not that Yuan Wei, Wang Yun and others are not smart, but these people have really stayed in peace for too long and their thinking is limited. They thought Dong Zhuo was going to compete with them in the court's traditional circle, but he didn't expect it. Dong Zhuo had jumped out of the circle, but they themselves were trapped.

Yuan Wei remained silent, thinking in his mind that it was not too late to make amends. At present, it seemed that he could only compromise for a while. How many soldiers and horses were there in Luoyang that could be fought for?

Maybe Ding Yuan and Ding Jianyang can win over?

In addition, should Shu'er go to Nanyang to form a military force? Now it seems that no one's own military power is always limited by others!

Yuan Wei looked around and found that there was a military general sitting at the top who stood still and did not get close to Dong Zhuo. He was secretly happy in his heart, this is the person I can win over. But when he took a closer look, his heart became cold again—— It turned out to be Lu Zhi, the general of Beizhonglang who is now the minister.

If I had known better then, I wouldn't have followed the eunuch to criticize Lu Zhi! Yuan Wei regretted in his heart that for some profit, he and the eunuchs sent Lu Zhi to jail. Now Lu Zhi has just resumed his post as minister. Originally, Bei Zhonglang was gone, but now he has no soldiers at all. No wonder Dong Zhuo didn't win over him either. He, well, this is really...
