Chapter 765: Li Ru's Reconsideration
"This time, we must also take down Empress Dowager Dong and take control of us. With Empress He's usual means, if we miss this opportunity, then there will be no second chance like this." Li Ru talked happily in a camp of the Liangzhou Army.
Dong Zhuo was sitting in the main seat. At this moment, there were only two of them in the tent, and no one else was in the tent.
Of course, this place is not a handsome tent. Dong Zhuo does not live in the handsome tent now. The camp where you rest every day will change. Except for those trusted guards, even the soldiers in the army do not know which camp Dong Zhuo will rest at night.
From the outside, the tent was ordinary, with no guards, only a few soldiers squatting at the door of the tent chatting. Further away, there were soldiers patrolling the patrols everywhere in the tent, which was very common.
This is another change that Li Ru made. Since the last time he asked the person he wanted to take away what he wanted, he has no luck this time. Li Ru did not keep his hand at the next arrangement. As long as someone broke in and was discovered by the army, he only had the word "death".
Dong Zhuo's safety has been improved to the present level, and even the soldiers in the army do not know, let alone the arrival of assassins. Even if the assassin catches a soldier and wants to ask about Dong Zhuo's whereabouts, he cannot get any relevant information.
This is why Li Ru and Dong Zhuo had such ordinary conversations in ordinary camps. They were all very ordinary, everything was hidden under ordinary ordinary, and only when it was actually activated can people see what was hidden underneath.
"Yes." Dong Zhuo sighed. He was already in good condition, but he was extremely depressed in recent days.
It was not because of assassination or assassination that he had encountered many things in Liangzhou and was used to it. It was because when he arrived in Luoyang City, he realized that the situation in Luoyang City was not as optimistic as he imagined, and even became a situation that was not conducive to him.
Dong Zhuo picked up a glass of wine and drank it all in one go. He was a little pessimistic. He said, "What should I do if someone still rushes ahead of us this time? If only Liu Xie is in his hand, it will not be able to change the situation too much, and he may be attacked by the group."
As he spoke, Dong Zhuo felt even more and more depressed. He picked up the wine pot, poured the wine glass into it again, raised the wine glass again, and drank it all in one go.
"No, it won't fail." Li Ru said firmly.
He saw Dong Zhuo's expression and reaction in his eyes. In fact, he also had the same experience and could empathize with it. When he had planned for so long, he saw that he was about to fail, anyone would have the same sense of loss. That was something that appeared after everything he had paid was not rewarded.
But he could not be as depressed and lost confidence as Dong Zhuo, who had his father-in-law. What a counselor had to do was to remain calm and not be affected in any situation, be cautious about the judgement of the guest officials, and thus start a new plan.
Li Ruxin's plan to hijack Empress Dowager Dong. As long as Empress Dowager Dong is kidnapped and the prince is in hand, there is great potential for this article. At the same time, as long as Empress Dowager Dong appears and asks her to identify Empress He's mistake, the loss of reputation will be very great.
Empress Dowager Dong would definitely stand on their side, or the one who was willing to do so, because in their hands, there was not only the card of Prince Liu Xie, but the other card was the will left by the late emperor.
With the will in hand, their orthodoxy will be realized. Whether the officials are willing to believe it or not, they must recognize Liu Xie's identity. At that time, if anyone does not believe it, they will use the force in their hands to force them to admit it.
Things are so simple.
Very simple, although it is so simple, it is just the simple as imagined. Li Ru knew this very clearly. No matter how meticulous or rigorous a thing is when it is actually implemented, all kinds of accidents and omissions may occur.
As a qualified strategist, Li Ru has always been self-aware. He does not believe that anyone can calculate everything about the incident. His plan, sent Hua Xiong to kidnap Queen Dowager Lai, may fail, but he cannot say it, and all he can say will not fail.
"I hope." Dong Zhuo put down his glass and breathed a sigh of relief. After being comforted by Li Ru, he was finally not as pessimistic as before.
His son-in-law is not an ordinary person, and he is extremely wise, which is why he married his daughter to him. It is to win over Li Ru to become his true self, so that he can feel relieved.
"Huaxiong should be able to do this, right? As long as there is no external interference," Dong Zhuo asked.
"Empress He asked Empress Dowager Dong to leave Luoyang City at this time. She was so anxious. The reason for the external reason was to lose her son, but the real reason was to dilute the influence of Empress Dowager Dong in the court. An empress who becomes the empress dowager at that time always doesn't want another empress dowager on her head to suppress her."
"As long as it is not personally escorted by the Yulin Army, there will be no problem. Empress He will definitely not send the Yulin Army to escort. What she wants to do is extremely simple. That is to let Empress Dowager Dong arrive in Hejian smoothly, and then find a suitable opportunity to kill Empress Dowager Dong in a more acceptable way." Li Ru saw it very thoroughly and inferred Empress He's plan from the last section of the side branch.
In his eyes, there were few conspiracies that could escape, including Empress He. Empress He was actually not very clever, including immediately eliminating the unstable factor of Prince Liu Xie after the death of the late emperor. This was too urgent and impatient.
It can also be seen from her supposed pattern that she has always been the one who has eliminated the roots. Including killing Wang Meiren, to Liu Xie later, and to the current Queen Mother Dong, she may be afraid of any accidents.
This series of behaviors also inadvertently shows that she actually has a ghost in her heart. If there is no ghost in her heart, she will be upright and proceed slowly with the general trend. Everything will not be found out, and she will not even give anyone any chance.
"After all, she is a woman." Li Ru said in her heart, shaking her head slowly.
However, he was also somewhat grateful. Fortunately, Queen He was a female, or the one with a weak and short-sighted person would have their chances? Otherwise, according to what he thought before, they would be so upright and overwhelming, and they would probably have to go back to Liangzhou now.
If you don’t send someone to arrest Liu Xie, then Liu Xie will not trust him and follow him. If you don’t send Empress Dowager Dong away, let her stay away from the center of power, and they don’t have the chance to get in. That’s the palace, how could you break in?
This series of opportunities was given to them by Queen He herself by accident. As long as there is a little gap and a little negligence, it is enough for Li Ru.
Li Ru continued to follow the previous topic, "In this case, the troops who protect Empress Dowager Dong must not be protected by the Yulin Army, an army that is extremely loyal to the royal family. Otherwise, if she protects Empress Dowager Dong too well, how could she have a chance to attack?"
"Father-in-law, besides the Yulin Army, do you think there are other troops under the elite cavalry led by Hua Xiong?" Li Ru asked with a smile, his words filled with strong confidence.
He had never doubted the combat effectiveness of the elite Liangzhou. As for the fact that he could not defeat the Yulin Army, it was just a conservative statement. Although the Yulin Army selected good families, the three generations of ancestors must be the army members of the army, and they can be called the elite among the elite.
But how many times did the Yulin Army experience in Luoyang City? How many times did they fight on the battlefield? How many enemies' blood have their subordinates been stained with?
Li Ru didn't know about the information of the Yulin Army. When he came to Luoyang City earlier, he thought about getting the information of the Yulin Army but had no chance. The only thing he knew was that the Liangzhou Army and the most elite soldiers under his command came out of the sea of corpses and blood. Everyone had a pile of corpses gathered by the Qiang people at their feet.
This is the real army. If the Yulin Army had never seen blood, it would be as different as if it was made of paper with their army. It would be too fragile and would collapse with one blow.
There are two differences between not being on the battlefield and not killing people, and completely being on the battlefield and having killed people. No matter how well you train and have strong fighting power, if you have never been on the battlefield, everything will always be unfamiliar. You may be frightened or urinated, and then you will lose your mind all of a sudden and you can take his life away.
The reason why Li Ru knew so well was that he had also fought with the army. His military system was led by veterans and new recruits, so that there would be no situation where the new recruits were stunned after they went to the battlefield. However, Liangzhou people have always been strong, and killing people is actually very common in the eyes of Liangzhou people.
Before Liangzhou was pacified, his father-in-law had not yet suppressed the Qiang tribe. After General Dingbo pacified the Qiang tribe, the Qiang tribes started to rebellion again for a long time, the people of Liangzhou, as long as the Qiang tribe came, they would pick up weapons, fight against the Qiang people, and protect themselves.
Such people are extremely fierce and martial, so recruiting soldiers is very simple. Just need to train more and you can basically step onto the battlefield at once. This is much stronger than the military soldiers he had seen along the way when he arrived in Luoyang City before.
"That's right." Dong Zhuo laughed. After being a Yulin Lang for three years, no one knows the true strength of the Yulin Army better than him.
