Somewhere outside Luoyang City,
"Li Ru, do you think Queen Mother He didn't just kill King Chenliu as well?"
Standing in front of Li Ru was a majestic man and a group of eerie-looking Predator warriors. This person is Li Ru's boss, Dong Zhuo, the current governor of Hedong.
"Replying to my lord, it's probably because they feel that a child is no longer important." Li Ru bowed slightly, as elegant as ever.
"Haha, I didn't expect Queen Mother He to be so naive after fighting in the palace for so many years!" Dong Zhuo laughed with a majestic voice, as if he was not worried at all about being discovered that they were having a secret gathering here.
Li Ru smiled and said,
"If we are not naive, there will be no chance for us."
"Okay, let's stop chatting." Dong Zhuo put away his smile, "Why did you urgently ask me to come here yesterday and said that the situation had changed?"
"That's it." Li Ru also quickly got down to business and said, "That Sun Quan, for some unknown reason, suddenly postponed his duel with Yang Xiu, and our original plan was disrupted."
"What!"
Dong Zhuo's expression changed greatly.
"Damn the Sun family, did they discover something?"
Dong Zhuo doesn't think highly of the Sun family, but the key is that he has a guilty conscience now.
"Impossible." Li Ru shook his head, his tone extremely firm, "Our plans have always been kept absolutely secret. Even if someone sees some clues, it will only be by forces that have direct contact with us. Over the years, the Sun family has We have been staying far away from the court and can be considered an absolute peripheral. To put it bluntly, if even the Sun family knows about our plan, then the whole world should know about it!"
"It makes sense." Dong Zhuo nodded and finally breathed a sigh of relief after listening to Li Ru's analysis. However, he was confused immediately and couldn't help but cursed angrily, "That damn kid, what are you messing around with when you have nothing to do! Wait until it's done. After that, I will be the first to destroy his Sun family!"
After scolding, Dong Zhuo thought about business again.
"Then the duel will be moved to a later date?"
"Tomorrow." Li Ru said in a low voice.
"Tomorrow?!" Dong Zhuo's eyes widened. Time is so tight, wouldn't there be no preparation at all! "Why didn't you clearly explain this in the letter yesterday?" Dong Zhuo said angrily.
Li Ruze replied as usual, unhurriedly,
"Returning to the lord, it is precisely because of time constraints that we cannot explain it. Otherwise, once the lord hesitates, we will have no time to discuss it, and if we miss this opportunity, we will never have another chance."
Dong Zhuo narrowed his eyes and stared at Li Rudao,
"Li Ru, Li Ru, you don't leave me a way out."
Indeed, the original plan was suddenly disrupted and there was insufficient preparation. Once the opportunity was missed, Dong Zhuo might have stopped. But what Li Ru did was to force Dong Zhuo to Liangshan. The opportunity was saved by Li Ru, but the risk also increased, and Dong Zhuo was not given time to think about it. He needed to make an instant decision. You must know how to start. The bow has no turning arrow.
Li Ru bowed,
"My lord, we are on the same boat. We have both prospered and suffered losses."
When a person reaches a certain position, it is no longer a matter of moving forward, because there will always be someone behind you to push you. Regardless of whether you really want to be the emperor, everyone else wants to be the founding father!
Those who do big things don't stick to trivial matters. Why didn't Dong Zhuo understand Li Ru's thoughts? Ever since he started working with Li Ru, Dong Zhuo knew that such a day would come!
"What is the probability of success?" Dong Zhuo asked the key question directly. He was an interest-oriented person who only focused on results.
"Seventy percent." Li Ru replied.
Dong Zhuo raised his eyebrows,
"Remember when you told me that it was 70%? Now, the plan has been disrupted, and you still haven't changed 10%?"
"At the beginning, our biggest problem was how to encourage the ten permanent attendants to kill He Jin. When the Queen Mother Dong was killed, the ten permanent attendants would definitely worry about themselves, but this sense of crisis and urgency usually only lasted for three to five days. Within three to five days, Dogs are anxious to jump over the wall, Shi Changshi can do anything, but after three or five days, he found that He Jin has not attacked them yet, and he is taking a chance, and Shi Changshi may no longer dare to do some things." Li Ru explained, "This is why I said there was only a 70% chance of success."
"Tomorrow is exactly within three days, so in this regard, compared with before, our probability of success has increased?" Dong Zhuo said.
Li Ru nodded,
"Yes. But on the other hand, due to time constraints and lack of preparation, it will take at least two days for our main army to come from Hedong. Insufficient troops are the biggest problem at present. At this point, the probability of success is reduced. Overall, it should remain at 70%," Li Ru said.
"Seventy percent? Haha, Li Ru, don't fool me!"
Dong Zhuo suddenly laughed,
"It's also 70%, but in the past, if I failed, I would have to go back and forth. But now, if I fail, I will be doomed!"
Li Ru raised his eyes and asked Dong Zhuo,
"On the one hand, you can return to the starting point, and on the other hand, you can never recover. So what is your choice, my lord?"
"Haha! Of course I choose eternal damnation!" Dong Zhuo said loudly.
Li Ru curled his lips and said,
"My lord is wise!"
Looking at the many heroes in today's world, the reason why Li Ru chose Dong Zhuo was because Dong Zhuo dared to take risks and use him!
Tomorrow, the duel between Sun Quan and Yang Xiu will be a rare grand event in the capital's literary circles in recent years. Cai Yong and everyone will participate in the judging. It can be said that many big figures in the capital will go to watch. Yuan Shu is Sun Quan's future father-in-law, and he will definitely be there in person to wave the flag for Sun Quan; Yuan Shao is a lively person, and in the name of being approachable, he gets close to various scholars. He has never been absent from similar occasions; Chen Lin, He is a representative of literati. He may not like to watch the excitement, but he is very interested in poetry and poetry. I believe he will also attend this kind of literary battle with poetry as the theme. In addition, Cao Cao likes the excitement as much as Yuan Shao, and he was also in Cai Cai at that time. Yong studied there, and with his character, he would definitely join in the fun; others include the father of Cai Yong's disciple Wang Can, Wang Qian who is now the chief of the general's palace, and so on. . . . . . It can be said that most of the qualified think tanks under General He Jin were not with He Jin during that time. He Jin had no one to discuss anything that happened. In addition, He Jin had just destroyed the lineage of Empress Dowager Dong and was in a period of pride and neglected to take precautions. It can be said that this is the best opportunity to plot against He Jin in the near future!
Otherwise, why would Dong Zhuo and Li Ru choose this day? Even after Sun Quan changed the date, they had to plan ahead. Because there is really no other better opportunity.
As long as he persuades the ten permanent servants and summons He into the palace in the name of Queen Mother He based on the ability of the ten permanent servants in the palace, He Jin will be killed if he enters the palace rashly without being reminded. The only thing Dong Zhuo needs to do is to claim that he will support Shi Changshi outside, so as to give Shi Changshi enough confidence and courage to take action. In this way, Dong Zhuo's plan will be half successful!
