"After this news spreads, you can send a few more eloquent people to the coalition camp to inform Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu of the current situation."

Speaking of which.

Li Ru paused for a moment.

There was a colder look on his face.

The whole person continued to reveal his vicious and vicious plan as if there was no trace of fireworks.

"If they retreat obediently, dozens of members of the Yuan family will be safe."

"On the contrary, the whole family will be slaughtered!"

"As a result, they are faced with a dilemma."

"If we continue to march towards Luoyang and send troops to Luoyang, dozens of members of the entire clan will die because of them. If we agree to withdraw our troops and return to our respective territories obediently, there is no way that the rest of the coalition will agree."

"No matter what choice they make, they will have to bear a very serious price. Thinking about it like this, how can Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu not be upset?"

"Of course it will slow down their march!"

…

"hiss!"

Dong Zhuo took a deep breath.

Then there was a long silence.

He was shocked by Li Ru's sinister plan, and this move had some sinister intentions.

Put yourself in their shoes.

If he were Yuan Shao or Yuan Shu and found himself in such a situation, he would be in a real dilemma and not know what decision to make.

As expected of Li Wenyou.

So cruel...

However, I like it!

Dong Zhuo woke up from his fright, and a cruel smile appeared on his face.

He is not a kind person.

To a certain extent, he is more ruthless and has no bottom line than Li Ru.

So this strategy is exactly what he wants!

Whether Yuan Wei and others live or die, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu are tormented in their hearts, is it none of his business?

As long as it's useful, he'll use it!

But just when he was about to issue an order, instructing Li Ru to handle the matter on his behalf and arrest the entire Yuan family.

A memory fragment suddenly flashed back in his mind, making him stunned for a few seconds.

Then he said hesitantly.

"Cao Zixiu once told me that people like Yuan Shao, who are ambitious and ambitious, will not be constrained by the old and young of some clansmen."

"Even if we threaten him with the Yuan family, I'm afraid it won't be of much use."

"If Yuan Shao is cold-blooded and cold-blooded, he will watch us show off Yuan Wei and others, and then still come to Luoyang with great arrogance, what should he do at that time?"

I don't know why.

Some words spoken by Cao Ang left a deep impression on Dong Zhuo, and they often made him think involuntarily, and this was the case now.

However, Li Ru shook his head.

There are many expressions of disdain on the face.

"The Prime Minister's words are wrong. Our purpose is to hold them back, not to really make Yuan Shao retreat."

"So Yuan Jiazi is really cold-blooded, so what can we do? At worst, we will cut off the heads of Yuan Wei and others and send them directly."

"If Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu can remain indifferent to this and still send troops to attack arrogantly, then their unfilial piety will probably leave their mark in the world!"

These words of Li Ru.

Dong Zhuo chewed it over and over again.

Then it dawned on me.

This is Yang Mouer!

As long as Er Yuan still cherishes his feathers and pays attention to his reputation.

After receiving the news of the death of Yuan Wei and others, and seeing the heads of these people with my own eyes, no matter what, I had to cry and mourn.

Doesn't this just waste their time?

Tsk!

What a brilliant plan!

…

"Wen You, I'll leave this matter to you. No one in the Yuan family can escape, and everyone except the childish ones must be imprisoned!"

Li Ru responded.

But he didn't leave immediately.

Instead, he turned around, lifted up the desk that Dong Zhuo had kicked away, then spread out the map on it, and pointed at the current location of the coalition forces with his finger.

"One more thing."

"After Chenggao Pass, there are only two big cities in Gong County and Yanshi County. Didn't the Prime Minister send General Lu to guard Yanshi before? But now it seems that it is far from enough."

"The first thing is to send more manpower and set up a line of defense in Gong County. For the sake of the overall situation, it doesn't matter if we lose some troops."

Dong Zhuo nodded.

This is what it should be.

After silently reciting the list of his generals in his mind, Dong Zhuo finally selected one.

"Then let Fan Chou lead an army of 10,000 people!"

Twenty thousand soldiers and horses were lost at Chenggao Pass. Even with Dong Zhuo's family wealth, his vitality was severely damaged and his body was in great pain.

The landlord's family has no food left.

What's more, this is a force destined to be sacrificed. The more we send, the greater the losses.

So there are only 10,000 people.

…

Li Ru bowed and saluted.

He said goodbye to Dong Zhuo and left.

But just as he was about to step out of the palace's threshold with his right foot, a thought suddenly came to his mind, causing Li Ru to freeze on the spot.

Do you want to remind Xiang Guo?

After hesitating for a long while.

After all, it was Dong Zhuo's side who overpowered Cao Ang and made Li Ru turn around.

He cupped his hands and clasped his fists, and said softly: "Prime Minister, you can't trust Lu Bu completely. You need to be more careful!"

A strange color suddenly flashed in Dong Zhuo's eyes.

The boss's eyes widened.

He looked Li Ru up and down.

Seeing that his face was as usual, he looked quite magnanimous, and it didn't look like he had a personal grudge with Lu Bu and was engaged in a political struggle here.

Then he asked leisurely: "Why did Wen You say this? Fengxian has been loyal to me. Since he joined me, everything he has been told has been done safely and properly. How can I be prepared?"

"

Now that Li Ru has opened his mouth, he will not hesitate.

He pointed to the battle report sent in the morning.

"Please forgive me for speaking bluntly. It was Cao Ang who recommended General Lu to serve under you. It is said that the two of them are considered brothers."

"Now that Cao Zixiu has rebelled, it is unknown what General Lu is planning at this moment and whether there is any connection between him and Cao Ang."

"Even if General Lu is loyal to you, there are some things that you have to guard against. I hope the Prime Minister will think twice!"

Although Li Ru has a hidden line on Cao Ang's side.

But his most fundamental position is Dong Zhuo.

Therefore, he would help Cao Ang smooth things over for small matters, or matters that would involve him.

But if it was a major matter related to the survival of Dong Zhuo's power, he would never be careless.
