On the plains that gradually began to look desolate in Guanzhong, tens of thousands of Xiliang cavalry marched like a torrent.
Although they did not wear armor during the march, the soldiers had fierce eyes, their bodies were somewhat tattered, and there was a sense of unruliness in their bones.
These Xiliang cavalry were killed one after another in the flames of war.
Dong Zhuogui was the governor of Liangzhou and the general who protected the Qiang. He made money crazily but was almost penniless because Li Ru invested almost all his money in this army.
In today's world, except for the Taiping Army, if you want to have this level of force, even under Jizhou's conditions, it will take at least two to three years.
But Li Ru, who had planned all this, now frowned crazily. He had been secretly paying attention to the news in the Central Plains.
Naturally, the news that King Qin's army was defeated and that the Taiping Army was approaching Luoyang City was received.
When Dong Zhuo received the news, his hair stood on end. He looked at Li Ru and said hesitantly: "That Zhang Jiao of the Taiping Army...
Simply inhuman.
Wenyou, are we still rushing to Luoyang as planned? "
According to Li Ru's previous plan, the Taiping Army was bound to be defeated, but King Qin's army would definitely suffer heavy losses. At that time, Dong Zhuo's magical soldiers descended from the sky, broke into Luoyang, controlled the emperor, used their troops to overwhelm the princes, control their armies, or directly Defeated, he embarked on the road to becoming a powerful minister.
But I didn't expect that this horn was so powerful. After winning consecutive battles, he directly killed all King Qin's army and the imperial army.
Even a fool could hear the reluctance in Dong Zhuo's tone, let alone a counselor like Li Ru who was ranked among the top ten in the world.
Li Ru immediately said: "Master, of course you can't just go to Luoyang like this, isn't that looking for death?
The imperial court's million-strong army was wiped out in ashes, and tens of thousands of us cavalry were just adding a few more souls to the horned sword.
The current plan is to hold high the banner of King Qin, a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, and then garrison the Weihan natural barrier to prevent the Taiping army from easily breaking through and entering Guanzhong.
Then find a clan member who is close by blood or has high prestige and status, and use the banner of rebuilding the Han Dynasty, so as to gather people's hearts.
well.
Lord, how insignificant is human power?
How powerful is the power of heaven?
This is the so-called man's calculation. Now the general trend of the world has changed. No matter how much ambition you have in your heart, you have to bow down and wait for the right time. "
It was a pity that Li Ru was here, but Dong Zhuo only heard that he did not have to go to Luoyang to fight, and he immediately agreed with great joy.
At this time, suddenly a messenger from the imperial court came from the Xiliang cavalry. The emperor's imperial edict to Dong Zhuo actually met Dong Zhuo halfway. The construction of this wide road was indeed useful.
Dong Zhuo and Li Ru both accepted the imperial edict in confusion, "Haven't all the Taiping troops already arrived at the city?
Could it be that the emperor fled?
What edict did he issue at this time? "
Dong Zhuo was thinking this while he was unwrapping the imperial edict. When he unfolded the edict, his body suddenly shook again and again. The next moment, his face was full of excitement and joy. He even couldn't help but laugh wildly on his back, and smiled towards Luoyang. Chengyi bowed and said, "Thank you for your kindness! I will definitely inspire the Han Dynasty!"
Li Ru had some guesses in his mind, and quickly reached out to take the imperial edict and took a look. He saw a series of official positions conferred on Dong Zhuo, which almost instantly made Dong Zhuo one of the most powerful warriors in the world and a prince.
Even a calm and self-possessed person like Li Ru couldn't help but smile, and then cursed in a low voice, "What a fool."
Dong Zhuo thought that he was now the captain of Sili School, and the land he stepped on was his own territory, and he instantly felt at ease.
When he glanced around, he saw another bamboo tube in the arms of the messenger, so he glared and asked: "Is this also an imperial edict? Who is it for?"
The messenger was forced by Dong Zhuo's momentum and quickly replied: "Back to Mr. Dong, this imperial edict is to be delivered to Marquis Wushuang."
Wushuang Hou?
Dong Zhuo frowned when he heard this, then stretched out his hand and said: "Give the imperial edict to me, general, and I will deliver it to Marquis Wushuang. It is too dangerous for you to be alone. How can you safely deliver the edict?"
The messenger was shocked. Although he was not prepared to deliver the letter, after all, there were already many people chasing Wushuang Hou, but how could he deliver this imperial edict to Dong Zhuo?
Just when he was about to say no, he saw Dong Zhuo's face change in front of him. The next moment, he felt a chill in his vest. When he lowered his head, a sharp sword had already passed through his chest. On the sharp tip of the sword, there was a sharp sword. It was dripping with blood, and there was a trace of picked out flesh on it.
His eyes suddenly opened wide, looking at Dong Zhuo with an expression of disbelief, and his throat was surging with what he wanted to say, "You..."
Blood spurted out from their mouths. Dong Zhuo and Li Ru looked normal. The last thought that flashed through the messenger's mind was: Your Majesty may have trusted the wrong person.
Then he died of exhaustion and fell off the horse, leaving only one foot hanging in the stirrup, forming a rather twisted posture.
The soldier next to him reached out and took out the imperial edict from the messenger's arms and handed it over. Dong Zhuo looked at the corpse of the messenger, clicked his tongue, and then Shi Shiran opened the edict issued to Luo Kong.
As soon as he saw the few crosses, Dong Zhuo laughed out loud, and then said with emotion: "Your Majesty is indeed very discerning.
Knowing that Wushuanghou was a man without a king and a father, he actually left his father behind and escaped alone.
Doesn't this kind of behavior make people and gods feel outraged?
Removing him from his official position now is in line with justice and justice.
Only I, Dong Zhuo, am a truly loyal and loyal man, loyal to His Majesty. "
When Li Ru saw this imperial edict, his wise mind really couldn't understand the emperor's actions. This feeling was pure venting.
If he were the emperor, even if he did not trust Wushuang Hou Luokong, he would definitely let Dong Zhuo and Luokong assist the prince in order to achieve a political balance and prevent one family from becoming dominant.
Li Ru put away his thoughts, pointed to the rolling mountains in front of him and said: "My lord, according to the imperial edict, it is not difficult to see that Luo Ziming must be taking Prince Bian on the road from Luoyang to Chang'an.
The top priority now is to get Prince Bian in our hands. Just now we said that we would find relatives of the Liu family who are closely related by blood. Now that Prince Bian is in our hands, we are the only orthodox people in the world.
If the Taiping Army is weak, we can contact the princes of the world to attack the Taiping Army as the leader of the alliance.
If the Taiping army is strong, we can offer Zhang Jue a crown prince defense. With such merit, at least survival or even wealth will not be a problem.
This is a choice with no harm at all.
The Emperor of Luoyang is such a good man. "
Hearing the ridicule of the emperor in Li Ru's words, Dong Zhuo laughed directly, and laughed wildly.
Who knows?
I, a Liangzhou warlord, suddenly became the first among all the princes in the world, both in terms of my own strength and the reputation of the court. I was about to become the regent and reach the pinnacle of my life.
Dong Zhuo took a deep breath, feeling that the air was full of sweet smell, and laughed loudly: "Sure enough, fighting is a good thing.
Without fighting, how could we border warriors achieve our current status?
Now go and bring my general's treasure, no, my rare item, to the army, so that you can be safe. "
…
"General, there is a large cavalry army ahead."
Scouts from both sides reported the news to Dong Zhuo and Luo Kong almost simultaneously.
"Luo Ziming, I finally meet you."
"Dong Zhongying, it must be him."
Both sides knew very well that the only large group of cavalry they could encounter here was the other side.
The two parties did not meet directly, but watched from a distance. Luo Kong immediately knew that Dong Zhuo was coming with bad intentions. Jia Xu said in a deep voice: "My lord, Dong Zhuo must have received the imperial edict from Luoyang. He is probably arguing against the prince and the prince." Come from association.
If you are willing to hand over Prince Bian and Prince Xie, Dong Zhuo will probably restrain himself, but if you are unwilling to hand over, there will definitely be a conflict. "
Jia Xu said it very tactfully, and Luo Kong knew very well that Dong Zhuo would definitely take action.
Because before the order of the world collapsed, he was always obedient to himself.
Now that there is an imperial edict from the emperor, the order of the world has basically collapsed. His arrogant heart will definitely be unable to be restrained, and he will definitely take away Prince Ben by force.
Jia Xu pondered for a moment and then said: "My lord, Dong Zhuo personally led 60,000 Xiliang cavalry, which shows that he has had evil intentions for a long time. The rules of the world cannot restrain such a person, so you must be careful."
Sixty thousand Xiliang cavalry.
Luo Kong was silent, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry was also an elite knight in the world, not some bastard who could kill at will.
If he had just come out from the Western Regions, he would have dared to fight Dong Zhuo, but now with more than ten thousand knights, it is basically impossible.
Jia Xu looked at Luo Kong, who said leisurely: "Wen He.
Do you know?
My mother said that my greatest strength and weakness are the same, that is, I am too serious about doing things, and I am unwilling to let go when I recognize a dead truth. "
When Jia Xu heard this, he had some enlightenment in his heart. He knew Luo Kong's choice. At this moment, the guard suddenly rode past and reported: "Sir, Dong Zhuo invites you to come to the battle to talk."
Luo Kong and Jia Xu looked at each other and rode out of the battle, wanting to hear what Dong Zhuo wanted. In front of the formation of the two armies, Dong Zhuo actually set up a table and spread out the seats. If it weren't for the constant sound of horse hooves behind him and the The roaring sound actually has the meaning of inviting one or two friends to go out on a spring day.
When friends Li Ru and Jia Xu met, they just bowed to each other but didn't say much. Now they are their own masters. Although they are good friends, this kind of occasion is not suitable for reminiscing about the past.
Watching Luo Kong sit down, Dong Zhuo suddenly sighed and said: "Wu Shuang Hou.
I, Dong Zhongying, have struggled for more than ten years, and finally, thanks to the general trend of the world, I can sit here and drink tea with you at the same table.
Marquis Wushuang, you come from a famous family, do you know the pain of a poor family like ours? "
This was obviously a slightly flattering statement, but as soon as it was spoken, the expressions of Jia Xu and Li Ru changed, and Dong Zhuo's aura changed instantly, and the bloody aura coming from the bottom came out in a torrent.
Li Ru had countless thoughts tumbling in his heart.
Dong Zhuo is using his current status to make a secret comparison with Luo Kong, and even uses this comparison to put Luo Kong into an unfair situation.
Trying to criticize Luo Kong from the highest moral point.
Luo Kong naturally heard it.
This has actually always been a problem that Luo has to face, as a truly high-ranking sect.
Luo Shi has always had a problem, that is, how to prevent being kidnapped by morality.
The answer found is simple.
There is always unfairness in this world, and people are always divided into high and low.
In this case, the family holding a high position is at least better than others. At least the family holding a high position basically does things that benefit the country and the people.
Luo Kong said calmly: "Dong Gong's words seem to be filled with resentment?
People in the world like to distinguish between poor families and wealthy families. I never comment on this.
Because the main branch of the family has never declined in the past thirteen hundred years, and the Wushuang Kingdom has never declined in the past two hundred years, in your opinion, you must not be able to sympathize with the poor family.
But over the thousands of years, what I have seen and heard can tell you something.
The Runan Yuan family, now one of the top wealthy families in the world, had an ancestor who was just a scholar who was not even from a poor family during the reign of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty. He spoke up for his teacher and was able to inherit the family.
From now on, fifty years ago, the Yuan family was nothing. Although it could not be called a poor family, it was not among the rich.
It was not until the rise of the dynasty that the family produced several generations of talents, stabilizing the family's reputation, and it became the top family in the world. In just a few decades, the Yuan family changed its identity.
In the three hundred years of Han Dynasty, who can tell how many people and even families have prospered through family recommendations?
Isn't this how the ancestors of the Jia family in Wuwei, where Wen He lives, prospered?
Even though most people forget their great wishes when they were humble once they reach the Nine Heavens, and quickly join the walls of those wealthy families, the family is still working tirelessly to pave the way for the humble family to rise.
Now Mr. Dong, you are no longer from a poor family. If you can pass on the power and the next wealthy family is the Dong family, what do you want to do?
If someone sat in front of your son and said, I struggled for more than ten years before I could drink tea with you, what would you say? "
Luo Kong's tone was still so calm. He just told what the family had done in a straightforward manner, and then retorted.
The fact that wealthy families suppress poor families cannot be changed. This is human nature.
You are from a wealthy family now, will you leave a way for a poor family?
Of course Dong Zhuo wouldn't, and he would go even harder to suppress poor families because he didn't want his descendants to become poor families anymore.
But Luo Shi will!
In the Han Dynasty, if you want to accuse Luo from the highest moral point, you are really looking for the wrong person.
Although Luo Shi did not make the world completely fair, at least in Luo Shi, as long as one has the ability, it is still relatively fair.
Dong Zhuo looked very unhappy. Unexpectedly, the moral accusation was unsuccessful and he was even ridiculed. At this time, a slightly gloomy voice sounded, it was Li Ru.
"Marquis Wushuang, I would like to use my life to open the way for poor families, so that all poor families in the world can leap over the dragon gate. I wonder if a person like me is qualified to say a word?"
Li Ru's eyes flashed with madness. He was extremely obsessed and filled with resentment towards almost all wealthy families. But on the one hand, he was selfless and his thoughts were extremely pure.
Dong Zhuo was sometimes bothered by Li Ru's crazy state, but now he looked at Luo Kong expectantly. Now let's see how you are going to deal with it?
There are always people in this world who are more pure than you, Luo Shi!
Come down from the highest point of morality!
Luokong heard Jia Xu mention Li Ru, and he looked at Li Ru.
Li Ru's eyes were shining with a little weirdness. He was looking forward to what Luo Kong could say to refute him. He couldn't wait to expose the hypocrisy.
Luo Kong chuckled and asked softly: "Li Wenyou, you have the noble character of petitioning for poor families, which is worthy of admiration.
Where is your son?
Where is your grandson?
Do you have any disciples?
Will your disciples inherit your great wishes?
What would you do if your son or grandson became a new wealthy family? "
Luo Kong's few words made Li Ru fall into a bad fantasy.
Luo Kong put away his smile and sighed slightly: "My son, grandson, and even the endless descendants in the future will inherit my great wish.
This is Luo family. The vicissitudes of life are never easy! "
This is Luo Shi!
This sentence was not loud, but it was like a bell in the morning and a drum in the evening, making Li Ru's head buzz.
There may be a person in this world whose morality is better than the contemporary Luo family, but if the time scale is extended, he will be completely at a disadvantage.
Luo Shi never strives for a moment, but strives for eternity. When it is safe, he can do as much as he can and make changes little by little.
Time is on Lowe's side.
Li Ru realized that he was wrong!
He shouldn't have put Luo Shi among those wealthy families. This is a transcendent existence. Even if he can't be loyal now, he shouldn't be disadvantageous to Luo Shi!
Dong Zhuo felt something was wrong the moment Luo Kong said those words. He now regretted why he thought of suppressing Luo Kong. He was really looking for trouble.
I heard Dong Zhuo say urgently: "Luo Ziming, I don't want to talk nonsense with you. You have received His Majesty's imperial edict. If you have not received it, I have another copy here."
Your Majesty has removed you from your post and asked me, the general, to assist the prince. This is a formal decree. Hand over the prince. Do not engage in a sword fight. As long as you are willing to hand it over, you can return to Zhaocheng with your guards.
I am now the false Protector of the Western Regions, and the Western Regions Army should be led by me. But as long as you hand over the Crown Prince, I will let the Western Regions Army pass through Liangzhou and return to the Western Regions.
You know these conditions are already very loose, and my demands are not excessive. "
It is true that Dong Zhuo is on the right side. Dong Zhuo has both strength and imperial decree, but that is not how things in this world work.
Luo Kong said leisurely: "The current emperor is an out-and-out foolish emperor. This is recognized by the world. The emperor's will is to mess with orders. How can disorderly orders be followed?
The country is more important than the ancestral temple, and the ancestral temple is more important than the king. Doesn't Mr. Dong understand this? "
Dong Zhuo watched helplessly as Luo Kong accused Jun's father in front of him. He was quite... envious of his calmness.
"I never practice for the sake of immortality."
"Then why do you practice?"
"Invincible."
Discussing Taoism under the tree, the young man's words startled everyone.
The fifteen-year-old boy today will be a great man in the future.
The golden scales in the pool are played by shrimps, and they turn into dragons in the wind and clouds.
"I heard that you are arrogant and arrogant?"
"Those are all rumors. I am a simple, kind and open-minded person."
"I heard you wanted to beat me to death?"
Su Yu shook his head: "I just want to beat you all to death, or be beaten to death by you."
"Oh, I forgot to mention, I am immortal~"
