Rumors, of course, become more and more mysterious as they spread, otherwise how would they be called rumors:
"Lu Bu defeated the 400,000-strong coalition army by himself!"
"Lu Bu defeated all the coalition generals by himself!"
This is still reliable. What is not reliable is that "Lü Bu killed 100,000 people in one night." The people of Luoyang, the key imperial capital, did this. Compared with Xiliang's 200,000 troops, they were more willing to believe that Lu Bu could do it alone. They talked about Lu Bu just like they talked about the ability of the overlord of Western Chu to lift mountains.
Not only the common people, Li Ru also felt the pressure: "Another Xiang Yu..."
The Prime Minister summoned him, and Li Ru knew clearly what Dong Zhuo was worried about now, mainly about whether he should be sealed and how to seal him. Li Ru had already made an idea. No matter how Dong Zhuo made him a general, it didn't matter. The important thing was to find an excuse and a time to throw Lu Bu out of Luoyang as quickly as possible. No one knew when Lu Bu's brain would twitch. Suddenly I wanted to find a foster father for myself.
Dong Zhuo still has considerable confidence so far, because the great swordsman Wang Yue is in the Prime Minister's Mansion. In order to make the sword god live comfortably, Dong Zhuo threw out a Yuehou. Without military merit, he could not be granted a title, so Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty personally made the title: "Li Ru, why are you here!"
Li Ru was not in the mood to play with his father-in-law today, even if it would be helpful to soothe him: "My lord, you must make a decision today, and you can't delay it any longer!"
When Dong Zhuo was in Xiliang, he was decisive and decisive. Because of this, Dong Zhuo was able to suppress those fierce Qiang people. But now Dong Zhuo has changed, becoming less and less like the former governor of Xiliang. When he killed Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, Li Ru only thought that his father-in-law was only indulged in pleasure for a while and his courage was still there, so Li Ru poisoned Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty Liu Bian with a glass of poisonous wine so refreshingly. However, Li Ru now realizes that it was just his wishful thinking. Perhaps Dong Zhuo's courage is really gone: he is just a Lu Bu. Even if the overlord is resurrected and is the best in the world, so what if he is thrown back to the bitter cold land of Bingzhou. Li Ru doesn't believe that Lu Bu can change the world. ..
As a result, Dong Zhuo took away such a trivial matter for half a month. Even if Lu Bu didn't have any ideas at first, now Dong Zhuo has to drag him out of things he shouldn't have.
Dong Zhuo recently believed that the world was settled and the princes could no longer make any trouble, so he sealed the world. Wang Yue's Yue Marquis is really nothing, but Dong Zhuo's enfeoffment of his own relatives is outrageous: he calls himself "Shangfu", makes his younger brother Dong Huang the general of Zuo and Houhou, and makes his nephew Dong Huang the minister in charge, commanding the imperial army. Dong's relatives, regardless of their age, are all granted the title of marquis...
Dong Zhuo had sealed him like this, leaving Lu Bu to hang out for more than half a month. Many people say that Dong Zhuo put it last because the reward was too large and needed to be discussed. But Dong Zhuo knew in his heart that he just didn't want to seal it. Dong Zhuo really wanted to eat Lu Bu's 50,000 Bingzhou army and Lu Bu himself. The reason is that since Lu Bu set out from Hulao Pass, he had left Dong Zhuo alone. Lu Bu had left Dong Zhuo alone for three days in total. When they arrived at Dong Zhuo's place, Dong Zhuo had to show off to Lu Bu ten times for thirty days: "Wait a little longer!"
When Li Ru called Dong Zhuo the Prime Minister, he handled official business without mixing personal feelings: "Your Excellency, we can't wait any longer..."
"Well?" Dong Zhuo had made up his mind and would not listen to anyone's advice.
"I don't know what kind of title your lord is planning to make, so that Li Ru can know!" Li Ru never worried about what Dong Zhuo would do to him.
"After all, my son, let's make him a champion!"
"Champion Hou?!"
It's no wonder that Li Ru reacted so strongly. The big man was awarded the title of champion three times in total. The first time was naturally Huo Qubing, the undisputed cavalry general; the second time was a bit of a joke. Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty made Jia Fu, one of the twenty-eight generals of Yuntai, the champion. Perhaps Emperor Guangwu I knew that Jia Fu was not worthy of such a title, and he later withdrew it; the third time it was Dou Xian, the great-grandson of Dou Rong, the great Sikong of the Eastern Han Dynasty, who, like Huo Qubing, became famous at a young age and was awarded the title of Langjuxu, and was regarded as the champion. the true successor.
Champion Hou means "championing the entire army". If Dong Zhuo really made Lu Bu the champion, I am afraid that this title would become synonymous with being the champion of the entire army.
Well, Li Ru won't say anything more, the Prime Minister can grant him the title if he wants. Apart from anything else, the name Champion Hou is indeed resounding enough, and he can definitely hold Lu Bu in check. Although in Li Ru's view, the two real champions did not end well: the first one died of illness, while the other one was too domineering and conspired to usurp the throne and was sentenced to death.
Li Ru found out about Dong Zhuo, and he had enough capital and cards to meet General Lu Bu. Dong Zhuo is willing to let Li Ru talk, in fact, it is to use Li Ru's mouth to repair the relationship with Lu Bu. Although you and I will have a falling out in the future, I, Dong Zhuo, am still willing to give you the best title.
But when Li Ru rushed to Dutinghou Mansion, Lu Bu had already been taken away by Wang Situ...
...
Jia Xu was not qualified to participate in this kind of inner circle exchange. Although Jia Xu is now under Dong Zhuo's account, Jia Xu is already ready to find a new home for himself. It's nothing, just that Jia Xu saw that Dong Zhuo was about to die soon, that's all. Unless a Seven-Kill Star like Dong Zhuo comes into the world, it is impossible to predict Dong Zhuo's future destiny unless his cultivation level reaches the sky. But should such a thing be counted? Before the Duting Marquis took refuge under Dong Zhuo's command, he kept saying, "How can a man live in the world of heaven and earth and live in depression for a long time?" Recently, Jia Xu looked very depressed when he saw that general...
And of course there was more than one Jia Xu who saw that Lu Bu was depressed. The most important person in the Luoyang imperial capital was Wang Yun. Wang Situ was very upset because Wang Yun thought he had finally found a way to get rid of Dong Zhuo. This is not a fake opportunity like the last time Cao Cao coaxed his seven-star sword, but a real opportunity to unite with Lu Bu, the Marquis of Tingdu, to kill the Dong thief in one fell swoop.
Situ Gong Wang Yun ordered people to watch Li Ru enter the Prime Minister's Mansion, and then he sent people to the door to invite Lu Bu, the Marquis of Duting. Wang Situ prepared a generous gift for Lu Bu, a generous gift that Lu Bu could not refuse. The fact was just as Wang Yun expected, after Lu Bu learned about the ceremony, he rode alone that night to visit Situ's mansion in person.
"Wang Situ, where are the etiquette?" The reason why Lu Bu came was because of the treasure Wang Yun said. If not, just chop him. Lu Bu is not in a good mood lately.
Wang Yun originally wanted to talk about Lu Bu's peerless bravery, and then talk about how unfair Dong Zhuo was to Lu Bu, and how he felt unfair. However, Lu Bu did not play this trick with Situ Gong Wang Yun at all. Although Wang Yun had a supreme literary soul and never regretted it after nine deaths, he could not withstand Lu Bu's oppression. Since Lu Bu wants to see him, let’s see him. You know, Wang Situ has prepared more than one treasure. Wang Yun is not afraid that Lu Bu will not be tempted, but he is afraid that Lu Bu will not come...
