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

Although Dong Zhuo thought Li Ru's words were alarmist and did not accept his advice, he took one point to heart.

Liu Yu was not killed by Li Ru, on the contrary he was in Chang'an at that time.

Dong Zhuo was not worried about Liu Yu's strength. This was Chang'an City, and he had hundreds of thousands of soldiers. The few men Liu Yu brought with him would not pose any danger to him at all.

But Dong Zhuo was still a little worried, fearing that Liu Yu would suddenly make some move.

In front of Hulao Pass, Dong Zhuo fought with Liu Yu. At that time, he learned that Liu Yu was too cunning. Although he was not strong, he was full of tricks.

After Dong Zhuo led his army away, he was afraid that the fortress would be harassed by Liu Yu.

The fortress contained not only gold, silver, jade, jewels, beauties, etc., but more importantly, the food stored inside was enough to feed the soldiers for thirty years.

If I am really careless and let Liu Yu destroy some of the food, my hard days will come.

In order to guard against Liu Yu, Dong Zhuo left Li Jue, Guo Si and other generals to lead 3,000 Feixiong troops to guard the fort, while he himself led the army to Chang'an.

The Feixiong Army is Dong Zhuo's personal guard. They are the elite selected from hundreds of thousands of Xiliang cavalry. Although there are only 3,000 of them, they are all brave warriors selected from ten thousand. Each of them is worth ten men at once and their combat power is amazing.

Dong Zhuo had great confidence in the combat capability of these 3,000 men. Even if there were 10,000 cavalrymen, the Feixiong Army would not be at a disadvantage.

Before leaving, he specifically reminded Li Jue to be careful and not to be careless.

After being tricked out of Hulao Pass last time, Li Jue had an inexplicable fear of Liu Yu. This time, even without Dong Zhuo's instructions, he would not leave the fortress again.

One cannot fall twice in the same place. Similarly, Li Jue was confident that he would not be deceived by Liu Yu twice.

Seeing that Li Jue agreed so readily, Dong Zhuo no longer had any worries.

At his command, a long team marched towards Chang'an.

After walking for only forty miles, the wheel of the cart broke and the reins of the horse broke. Dong Zhuo saw this situation, analyzed it carefully, and finally came to a conclusion that this phenomenon was still a revelation from God to him.

God's will is to carry on the Han sacrifices and to break with the old and usher in the new.

"Good luck, good luck."

Dong Zhuo stood beside the carriage and saluted slowly, being very respectful and without any slackness.

The soldiers around him saluted together.

"Congratulations, Prime Minister."

Dong Zhuo laughed loudly, his laughter full of pride.

"When my family ascends to the throne, you will all be rewarded handsomely."

"Thank you, Prime Minister."

Countless Xiliang soldiers shouted in unison, their voices resounding straight into the sky.

Dong Zhuo looked at the spirited Xiliang soldiers, all of whom were extraordinary and brave, and was secretly delighted. With such soldiers around, who could possibly take a step into Chang'an?

As the carriage he was riding in was damaged, Dong Zhuo had no choice but to get off and get into another carriage.

Dong Zhuo changed into court robes today and looked very majestic.

After a long journey, the carriage finally arrived in Chang'an City.

The convoy slowly moved forward along the bluestone street that had just rained. The sound of horse hooves could be heard slowly on the street.

When Dong Zhuo heard this sound, he suddenly felt that it was the most beautiful melody in the world.

All the music I had heard before seemed shallow and meaningless compared to this moment.

The little incidents along the way did not stop Dong Zhuo, but on the contrary, made him more confident.

Li Ru looked at the Xiliang soldiers who were gradually going away, with no expression on his face.

After he told Dong Zhuo the nursery rhyme yesterday, Li Ru knew that the tricks he had set up to break the wheels of the cart and the reins of the horse would not be able to stop Dong Zhuo's steps.

The fact was just as Li Ru had expected. Dong Zhuo was full of fanaticism at this time and would definitely not stop because of these little episodes.

"Wenhe, is there any hope for the Prime Minister to survive this trip?"

Jia Xu stood by the roadside with a hint of sarcasm on his face.

He shook his head slowly and said, "It's difficult! Lord Li, think about it. If the emperor's abdication was really planned by Liu Yu, then this trip to the Prime Minister will surely be dangerous."

After being caught in the rain yesterday, Li Ru became more sober. He knew that all this was inevitable.

When Dong Zhuo asked Li Ru to accompany him, Li Ru declined the invitation on the grounds of illness.

Li Ru's actions also surprised Dong Zhuo. In Dong Zhuo's impression, Li Ru was always by his side at every historical moment.

Now that Li Ru suddenly decided not to go to Chang'an due to illness, Dong Zhuo felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

He thought of Li Ru's advice to him, but he did not agree, and let Li Ru leave sadly.

He believed that it was his unwillingness to accept advice that created a rift in Li Ru's heart, and that was why Li Ru used illness as an excuse to shirk responsibility.

When the medical officer came back to report, Dong Zhuo realized that Li Ru was indeed sick because he had been exposed to the rain for too long.

Dong Zhuo didn't say anything else, but sent someone to tell Li Ru to have a good rest.

Li Ru stood on the side of the road with his skinny body, and a strong wind seemed like he could be blown away.

The strong wind didn't seem to have any effect on Li Ru. He looked energetic and there was no trace of illness on his face.

His eyes also regained their former depth and coldness. To others, the familiar Li Ru was back.

Only Jia Xu knew that the loneliness hidden in Li Ru's eyes was like a brand that had never disappeared.

"If the Prime Minister were killed, how many of the Xiliang soldiers he brought with him would survive?"

"With the Prime Minister killed, the soldiers are leaderless and will surely scatter. They are unfamiliar with Chang'an and will not stay here. Although the world is big, there is no place for them to stay. The only place they can go is Xiliang."

Jia Xu’s point of view has always been very clear. On the road from Chang'an to Xiliang, he would gather the remaining troops, then retreat to Xiliang and watch what happened to the world.

If there are changes in the world, the Iron Cavalry will one day return to Xiliang. If the world is stable, there is nothing they can do but stay in Xiliang and grow old slowly.

Li Ru did not fully agree with this view. He believed that the first thing to do after gathering the remaining troops was to attack Chang'an.

When power changes in Chang'an City, there will inevitably be chaos. The longer this chaos lasts, the greater his chances will be.

Jia Xu also thought about Li Ru's point of view for a long time. At that time, the chances of winning the battle of Chang'an were slim. After Dong Zhuo was killed, the Xiliang soldiers would inevitably become frightened birds and would not be able to fight in a short period of time. If they could not exert their fighting power, it would be a foolish dream to want to capture Chang'an.

Li Ru was not worried about the soldiers' lack of fighting power. He had already thought of ways to stimulate their fighting power.

The solution is killing, endless killing. When the shadow of death looms over your head, you either beg for mercy or fight.

When they learned that begging for mercy was ineffective, the only way left was to fight.

Li Ru understood their fighting power. As long as their potential could be stimulated, they would be the most powerful army of this era.
