Reborn in the Three Kingdoms, I stole Liu Bei's uncle

Shortly after Li Ru left, the battle in the forest officially began. After wave after wave of traps, countless sharp arrows flew towards the Xiliang soldiers with a whistling sound. For a moment, countless people were shot and fell.

What followed was sneak attacks and killings. With this almost rogue style of fighting, the battle quickly came to an end.

Four thousand cavalry were all annihilated, and Liu Yu, who led five hundred men, lost nearly four hundred of them.

Although the casualty rate was close to ten to one, Liu Yu was still not satisfied. His side had set up many traps while waiting for the enemy to tire themselves out, and with the help of Wang Yue, the old hacker, no, the old swordsman, they were able to achieve such a result.

Without these prerequisites, you will be the one who falls in the end.

When Liu Yu stepped out of the woods, Li Ru had already disappeared. His heart sank, knowing that his plan had been exposed.

Liu Yu was well aware of Li Ru's abilities. He knew that if Li Ru was given enough time, he would definitely reverse all of his carefully planned schemes.

The only thing to do now is to persuade Lu Bu before everyone reacts.

Li Ru rode non-stop all the way and headed straight for the fort.

When he arrived at the gate of the dock and saw that everything was calm, Li Ru's anxious heart finally relaxed temporarily.

He walked inside in a hurry, and just as he reached the door, he bumped into someone.

Li Ru was knocked down and fell to the ground. Just as he was about to yell, he saw a fat man in front of him with an angry look on his face. Who else could it be but Dong Zhuo?

After Li Ru bowed, he asked, "Is the Prime Minister angry because of Fengxian?"

"Wenyou also knows about his rebellion? You came at the right time. We are just about to send troops to kill this villain."

"How can you talk about treason?" Li Ru thought that Liu Yu's plan would be very cruel, but he didn't expect it to be so powerful. He directly talked about treason. No wonder the prime minister was so angry. "Wen Hou is loyal to the prime minister. The prime minister must not listen to slander."

"We are not children. How can we judge him based on a few words?"

After saying that, he took Li Ru to the inner hall. As soon as they sat down, Dong Zhuo took out the letter and handed it to Li Ru.

"Wenyou, look for yourself. We have treated him so well, giving him high positions and generous salaries, and rewards. I didn't expect that he still has such a wolfish ambition. Seeing that we have retreated to Chang'an, he actually wants to collude with Yuan Shao and is ready to cooperate with Yuan Shao from inside and outside to kill us. What's the point of keeping a wolf cub like this?"

Dong Zhuo was still furious after he finished speaking. Since Lü Bu surrendered, Dong Zhuo had indeed rewarded Lü Bu more than any other general in order to win him over. For this reason, some of the old generals of Xiliang kept complaining. Dong Zhuo ignored these rumors and withstood the pressure.

He thought that Lu Bu would be grateful and swear allegiance to him until death, but who would have known that not long after he retreated to Chang'an, Lu Bu actually colluded with Yuan Shao.

The letter in Li Ru's hand was full of shock.

From the letter he received, he did not find anything unusual. He and Lu Bu did not have a close personal relationship. After all, they both worked under Dong Zhuo. He still recognized the daily handwriting.

Judging from the handwriting on the letter, there is no doubt that it is Lu Bu's handwriting, there is no problem at all.

If you think about it carefully, you can still feel some differences.

Lu Bu had been on the battlefield for a long time, and his handwriting was not beautiful, but it revealed a bit of toughness.

This person imitated Lu Bu's calligraphy and tried his best to imitate Lu Bu's style, but after all, because of their different experiences, there were some differences in their charm.

"Prime Minister, this letter was not written by Fengxian."

Li Ru quickly gave the answer.

Dong Zhuo was slightly startled. In the Xiliang army, there were several people who were most familiar with Lu Bu's handwriting, and he was one of them. Since Li Jue sent the letter in, he had confirmed it repeatedly and confirmed that the letter was in Lu Bu's handwriting.

After confirming this, he asked Li Jue to tell him what he heard in the wine house. After hearing this, Dong Zhuo was convinced and sent Li Jue to the wine house to arrest people.

"Why does Wenyou say that? How could we not recognize Fengxian's characters?"

"Please look, Prime Minister. Wen Hou's calligraphy is not difficult to write. Anyone who is willing can imitate it to about 70% or 80%. It is also easy to distinguish the real from the fake. All you need to do is invite Wen Hou into your mansion and ask him."

"Before Wenyou came back, our family had already summoned him into the palace." Dong Zhuo sneered, "Don't even think about it, he won't admit it."

When Li Ru heard that Lu Bu had been here, his emotions, which had just relaxed, instantly tensed up again.

He asked Dong Zhuo in detail about what happened.

After understanding the situation, Li Ru realized that this matter was difficult to handle. When Dong Zhuo saw that Lu Bu did not admit it, he could not control his emotions and the two had a conflict.

In fact, it is not accurate to say that there was a conflict. To be more precise, Dong Zhuo picked up the Fang Tian Hua Ji to hit Lu Bu. Lu Bu fled, and Dong Zhuo saw that he could not catch up, so he threw the Fang Tian Hua Ji directly out.

Lu Bu's skills were amazing, and this level of attack had no effect on him at all.

"Prime Minister, from a Confucian perspective, the truth of this matter is still unknown, so you must not vent your anger on Marquis Wen. Now that Marquis Wen has just left, he must be very anxious. At this time, you need to invite him into the palace and comfort him."

"Wenyou, just investigate. Before there is evidence, Lu Bu cannot be free from involvement. Our family does not know his crime and has already pardoned him. Why are you still trying to comfort him?"

Li Ru tried to persuade Dong Zhuo, but he just wouldn't listen.

Li Ru thought of something and said, "May the Prime Minister know that Liu Yu has come to Chang'an."

"He is so brave that he dared to come to Chang'an. It's just right. We should catch him and use his head to commemorate our dead brothers. Where is he now?"

"In the dense forest outside Chang'an City, Ru has already sent 4,000 cavalry to capture him. If everything goes well, the battle should be over by now, and Liu Yu's head will be delivered to the Prime Minister soon."

When Dong Zhuo heard the news, his anger subsided a lot and a smile appeared on his face.

"It's a good thing for him to die like this. We want to skin him alive and take out his tendons."

Li Ru mentioned Liu Yu not to discuss how he died.

"Liu Yu is treacherous. He must have some ulterior motive when he came to Chang'an. Prime Minister, think about it, this letter from Lu Bu did not appear earlier or later, but appeared after Liu Yu appeared in Chang'an. Isn't it very abnormal?"

"Wenyou means that this is Liu Yu's evil plot."

Li Ru nodded.

"Yes, Liu Yu has used treacherous schemes countless times before Hulao Pass. We must be on guard against this."

Dong Zhuo was about to mobilize men to capture Lu Bu, but after hearing Li Ru's words, he began to hesitate.

Li Ru was right. The timing of Liu Yu's arrival was very unusual. He had just arrived in Chang'an when he found Lu Bu's letters of rebellion. Could it be that the two were really related?

"This matter is too unusual. Let us think about it for a moment."
