Chapter 145 Li Ru’s sinister plan, this is a conspiracy! [Please subscribe and vote monthly]

A few days later.

Luoyang, the capital of the Han Dynasty.

In the majestic North Palace, the Prime Minister, who is more than ten thousand people, is losing his temper again.

The whole set of tea lamps and candles that had just been replaced not long ago were smashed to pieces again. The ground was full of debris and debris, and it was a mess.

The desk made of high-quality wood was kicked away by the Prime Minister in anger, and the stacks of bamboo slips placed on the desk were scattered in all directions.

From far away, you can hear Dong Xiangguo's roaring voice, and it seems that someone is making him angry again.

The palace people were trembling.

Don't dare to get even close.

However, in this case, there is still a person in the palace at this moment, standing quietly aside.

This man looked directly at Dong Zhuo with complex expressions in his eyes. He wanted to say something several times, but he muttered for a long time before closing his mouth.

A long time passed.

Dong Zhuo finally calmed down a little from his anger.

He threw the long sword in his hand to the ground, and then leaned tiredly against the pillar in the palace.

"Wen You, this Cao Zixiu has good skills!"

"I thought before that he wanted to have both sides and get some benefits from both sides, but now it seems that he still thought it was too simple."

"He sent his generals to kill Hua Xiong, and also helped the coalition forces to break through Chenggao Pass. It seems that he is ready to completely side with Yuan Shao and beat me to death with a stick!"

Dong Zhuo felt tired.

He really didn't expect that Cao Ang's methods could be so vicious, and that he actually had the idea of ​​​​taking advantage of others.

Originally, Dong Zhuo was quite happy when he received the good news from Hua Xiong, who was working hard to deliver it to him.

After all, the enemy's vanguard was defeated.

Such power will surely make the enemy wary and afraid to confront the defenders head-on.

In this way, the task he entrusted to Hua Xiong to defend the city without retreating could last more than a month and a half.

The longer you stick to it.

This would be a huge loss to the enemy's food and fodder support, fighting spirit and morale.

Dong Zhuo would also have enough time to make preparations, pack up his troops, belongings, and the ministers of the court and take them away.

But now, the plan has been shattered!

As soon as the front leg received the good news, it was immediately followed by the news that Hua Xiong was killed on the battlefield and that after holding Chenggao Pass for a day, the city was completely destroyed.

One day!

The difference between this and the ten days and a half months that Dong Zhuo originally expected was thousands of miles away.

Now the originally abundant time has become tense, so for Dong Zhuo at this moment.

I hate Cao Ang so much!

…

It took quite a while.

Dong Zhuo calmed down completely.

Until this moment, Li Rufang, who was standing aside, took a few steps forward and then bowed slightly.

Then he said in a soft tone: "The Prime Minister calmed down and Chenggao Pass was breached. This has already happened and we are powerless to change it. It is not worth thinking about anymore."

"The most urgent task is to start remedial measures and implement other measures to offset the adverse effects caused by the loss of Guancheng in one day."

Li Ru gave gentle advice.

Dong Zhuo could also listen.

After nodding slightly, he couldn't help but press his forehead, and then asked with a searching look on his face.

"Then in Wenyou's opinion, how should I remedy the situation, and what measures should I take?"

Li Ru coughed dryly.

Then he pointed out two fingers.

"If you want to delay time, you can only proceed from two directions. One is to speed up our army, and the other is to find ways to slow down the enemy's speed."

"Speeding up is very simple, that is to discard some unnecessary things. In this way, the speed of our army's preparations will be greatly improved."

"As long as the Prime Minister is willing, this is not difficult."

Dong Zhuo nodded with an ugly expression.

Since we are going to make a large-scale retreat and leave Luoyang City for Chang'an, we must plunder all the wealth in Luoyang City before leaving and pack up everything we can take away.

But now since there is not enough time.

There are some things that are valuable but not easy to carry, and things that are hidden in corners and require digging to find, so you can only give up for the time being.

"What about strategies to slow down the enemy?"

Dong Zhuo's unconscious voice was a little gloomy.

He was obviously in a very unhappy mood.

But he just pretended not to know about Li Ruru.

He just said in a calm voice: "Compared with other strategies, the strategy of slowing down the enemy is the most important. If implemented properly, the coalition forces will be thrown into chaos!"

…

When Dong Zhuo heard this, he immediately became interested.

Compared with asking him to give up his wealth, it is obvious that the enemy army is in chaos, which makes him feel happier.

"What a clever plan, Wen You, please tell me quickly!"

The corners of Li Ru's mouth raised slightly, revealing a mysterious smile, which matched his black clerical uniform and his rather conspiratorial face.

The whole person looked eerie and terrifying.

"That's the Yuan family!"

Dong Zhuo was stunned for a moment.

I don't quite understand what Li Ru means by this.

But before he could ask a question.

Li Ru had already continued talking on his own.

"Currently, the Kwantung Allied Forces has more than 100,000 men. Among them, the two largest forces are Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu. Counting their respective subordinates, they account for more than half of the Allied Forces."

"What's more, according to the information obtained by my subordinates, Yuan Shao is the leader of the entire coalition at this time, and Yuan Shu is responsible for the food and grass support of the coalition."

"So in my opinion, if we can find a way to restrain the two brothers, most of the entire coalition army will be destroyed. Not to mention falling into chaos, it will at least delay them for more than ten days."

Li Ru just finished speaking.

Dong Zhuo couldn't help but narrowed his eyes.

Of course he was well aware of what his chief adviser said.

The reason why the Guanzhong Allied Forces became powerful was because of the two brothers of the Yuan family.

It was the two of them who relied on their respective names, prestige and strength to hold up this alliance.

But how to deal with the two Yuan brothers?

The Yuan family...

…

Dong Zhuo was horrified.

As if a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in my mind, an idea suddenly popped out.

"Wen You, are you planning to trick Yuan Wei and others and use these people to force Yuan Er?"

Dong Zhuo realized what he meant.

The smile on Li Ru's face became even bigger.

He nodded happily, gestured with his hands and said, "It's just as the Prime Minister said!"

"You might as well send out troops now to arrest all the Yuan family members in Luoyang, put them in prison, and imprison them all."

"Then put a charge on these people, saying that they are suspected of having liaison with foreign enemies and secretly colluding with the bandit army headed by Er Yuan. If they cannot prove their innocence, they will all be thrown to the vegetable market and executed in a few days."
