Lu Bu set out according to Dong Zhuo's instructions, but in his heart he still felt that this was impossible.

After all, humans are not birds. How can they jump off a cliff with the help of a few branches and survive?

Although Lu Bu had doubts in his heart, he did not hesitate at all in his actions. The Red Hare under his crotch neighed loudly, and he led the Xiliang Iron Cavalry to rush out of the camp at an incredible speed.

Although Dong Zhuo thought it was impossible, he believed in Li Ru.

After Lu Bu left, the solemnity on Li Ru's face did not disappear, but became more and more solemn.

Dong Zhuo sat on the couch, thinking that the emperor was still alive. The worry on his face remained unchanged, but there was a hint of joy in his eyes.

"Wenyou, you are very knowledgeable. You can see the key to the matter just by looking at a few clues."

"When Fengxian finds the emperor, we will give Wenyou the credit for the first achievement."

When Li Ru heard Dong Zhuo's praise, there was no joy on his face, but he became more and more solemn.

Dong Zhuo was a little confused.

"Wenyou, do you still have doubts?"

Li Ru said: "Ru is thinking about something else."

"What is Wenyou worried about?"

Li Ru said slowly: "I feel that I have misjudged Liu Yunqi. I thought he was just a poet, timid and not to be feared. Only today did I know that this man is extraordinary, tenacious and courageous, and a rare talent."

"After returning to Luoyang City, the Prime Minister must find a way to recruit him for his own use."

"If this person cannot be used by the Prime Minister, he will become a great trouble in the future."

Dong Zhuo was somewhat disapproving.

"Wenyou, isn't it a bit exaggerated? What big waves can he stir up? Don't look at him as the emperor's uncle now, but don't forget that even if he is the emperor, he is just a bird in our cage. If he angers us, we can become the emperor ourselves. The emperor is like this, so what can Liu Yu achieve with just the title of the emperor's uncle?"

Li Ru said: "Prime Minister, you must not be careless. Although the Han Dynasty is in decline now, it has experienced nearly 400 years. As the saying goes, a centipede will not die even if it is stiff. In the short term, the Prime Minister must maintain the banner of the Han Dynasty, so that it can remain invincible."

"Prime Minister, think about it. If not, how could the Yuan brothers dare to risk the world's disapproval and send people to assassinate the emperor? Ru Ruo's prediction is correct. If the emperor really dies this time, they will definitely support a member of the Han royal family as the emperor. Even if we establish another emperor, with a Han world and two emperors, I'm afraid no one can tell which emperor is the most respected."

Dong Zhuo nodded and said, "Wen You is right. Does Wen You want us to subdue Liu Yu?"

Li Ru said: "It would be best if we can subdue him. I just recalled Liu Yu's past in detail. I'm afraid it will be difficult to make him sincerely submit."

"That day at the Prime Minister's residence, he and Bo Ji competed in poetry. Bo Ji praised him highly at the time. We were all there. If he wanted to join the Prime Minister, then that would have been the best time. But he turned around and left without a single ounce of hesitation."

Dong Zhuo sneered and said, "If he refuses to surrender, it will be very simple. We can just cut him off with one strike of the sword and make him die."

Li Ru advised: "This must not be done. If Your Majesty and he return safely, Liu Yu will have the merit of saving the emperor. If the Prime Minister kills him, I am afraid that the world will lose hope."

"To kill one person and destroy the hope of the whole world is something a wise man would not do."

Dong Zhuo asked, "Wenyou, what do you think should be done about this?"

"This matter is also simple. The Prime Minister only needs to reward him with a high position and generous salary."

"Of course, there are still some rules for official positions. A high position has little power. Let him have more empty titles but no real power."

Dong Zhuo nodded, he was an expert in this matter.

"Just follow Wenyou's advice."

Li Ru continued, "From now on, we must send someone to monitor him and not let him leave Luoyang."

Dong Zhuo was a little surprised when he heard this.

"Wenyou, Liu Yu is just a teenager. Even if he has some talent, how much ability does he have? Aren't you worrying too much?"

Li Ru said sternly, "To be honest with you, Prime Minister, the more I think about this man, the more I feel that he is a little scary. If he is allowed to leave Luoyang, I am afraid that he will be like a fish in the sea and disappear without a trace."

The fact that a man could escape successfully and safely with a nine-year-old emperor from the pursuers cannot be summed up by the word "brave".

It takes precise judgment to hide in the dense forest in the first place;

It takes endless courage to move forward and backward calmly in the dense forest.

It takes profound knowledge to know how Gongshuzi carved a magpie out of wood.

It takes fearless determination to jump off a cliff.

When one's life is under threat at any time, one can still remain so calm and composed. Isn't it terrifying to have such a person's mentality?

Thinking of this, Li Ru also remembered that Jia Xu had mentioned Liu Yu to him. Jia Xu had told him that Liu Yu was not a simple person and should not be underestimated. At that time, he felt a little bit disapproving, thinking that this person was timid and that even if he had some talent, he would not achieve much.

Who knew that what happened this time proved Jia Xu's judgment.

Li Ru could not help but sigh inwardly. In terms of making wise decisions, he was still better than Wenhe. But in terms of judging people, he was far inferior to Wenhe.

Dong Zhuo listened to Li Ru's words and said, "A fish in the sea is still a fish. How big a wave can Liu Yu make?"

After saying this, Dong Zhuo laughed out loud, his laughter full of arrogance and disdain.

As the most powerful person in the world, Dong Zhuo definitely has the qualifications. He has the top three counselors, the best generals, the best cavalry, a strong pass in front of him and the emperor behind him. Who in the world can stop him?

Li Ru saw the pride in Dong Zhuo's eyes, and he sighed inwardly. After entering Luoyang, Dong Zhuo was blinded by the prosperous world.

He seemed to no longer be the wise, far-sighted frontier hero in Li Ru's mind. Instead, he became an arrogant, cold, and arrogant fat man.

If things continue like this, I'm afraid the Prime Minister will eventually fall. Thinking of this, he suddenly felt powerless. But when he thought about how he came from a poor family and had no way to serve his country, it was Dong Zhuo who took him in and obeyed his orders. He couldn't help but feel a surge of blood in his heart. Even if you are no longer the Dong Zhongying of the past, I am still the Li Wenyou of the past.

After so many years, Li Ru still remembers the first time he saw Dong Zhuo. It was an autumn day, everything was bleak and lifeless. The Hu tribes were robbing and looting in order to survive. Dong Zhuo led his troops on horseback and galloped over. Before he arrived, he had already drawn his bow and arrows, shooting left and right, and several Hu people fell off their horses.

When the Hu people saw how brave Dong Zhuo was, they fled in panic.

The local people cheered and welcomed the triumphant hero.

Li Ru and Dong Zhuo hit it off right away. They had a great conversation and were determined to work together to create a world for themselves in this era.

Li Ru also used a series of ingenious strategies to turn Dong Zhuo from a minor border official into the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, and brought Dong Zhuo to the pinnacle of power.
