Chapter 45 Li Ru’s Confusion
——Confused Li Ru.
Li Ru is really confused now. Dong Zhuo’s fat guy really just wants to go home and live a happy life! ! !
In other words, the previous ones about using jade seals to divide the princes, and the Xiliang army's westward retreat to Chang'an, which was just a strategic retreat, were just wishful thinking on his part.
After Dong Zhuo returned to Chang'an, he only did one thing, which was to plunder the wealth of the people of Chang'an in every possible way. How could this prevent him from getting angry.
Inside, there is Dong Zhuo who has long since fallen, and outside there are aristocratic families who are ready to make a move, and in the middle there is Lu Bu, who appears to be in the same camp, but is actually Lu Bu who has become alienated.
After that guy Lu Bu left more than 10,000 fine cavalry and came back alone, he actually said that the Xiliang cavalry did not obey his command.
On the contrary, he wanted to seize the credit on his own initiative, which led to him being out of touch with the army and being hunted by the coalition generals.
Among them were the three generals who had defeated him. If it hadn't been for his superior martial arts, they wouldn't have been able to come back.
Damn Lu Bu, how could the army be out of touch with you? With the short legs of the Xiliang cavalry, how could it possibly outrun you on the red rabbit horse!
He also said that he was being hunted by the coalition generals. I think it was the coalition generals who were being hunted by you. Don’t think I don’t know. There was only one Cao Cao chasing the coalition forces. As for most of the coalition forces, they were eating in Luoyang!
What a pity. If Lu Bu hadn't been too strong and had Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry to protect him, there would have been nothing wrong on the surface.
Otherwise, Fei Xiong would have been pulled out and Lu Bu would be killed directly, and there would be no need for such troublesome things.
In fact, it is not difficult to destroy Lu Bu. With Fei Xiong as the vanguard and hundreds of thousands of Xiliang cavalry, under the suppression of this cloud, even if there are wolf cavalry led by Lu Bu Gao Shun, then So what, how could these tens of thousands of people escape?
The difficult thing is how to stop the crowd. If Lu Bu is killed for no reason, the applause of the Guandong princes will be nothing.
The morale of the Xiliang army will definitely be unstable because of this, and wise men like Li Ru will not break their sharp swords because of this incident.
After all, Lu Bu's force impressed not only the coalition generals, but also the Xiliang generals and many soldiers.
Moreover, Li Ru could not see the private actions of those wealthy families in Chang'an, but could only pretend not to see them.
Otherwise, how could he still be alive with just those tricks?
It was not that Li Ru couldn't see the flirtation between the family and Lu Bu, but his heart had become cold and he no longer wanted to plan for it.
Just when his dream was about to come true, he was betrayed by his once most trusted teammate. How could this not be disturbing?
"Wenhe, why do you think this is? Why did he become like this? I assisted him just because of his disappointment in the world, but now he has also become the source of people's displacement. "
"What should I do? Can the people of this world be saved?" Li Ru handed the glass to Jia Xu with blurred eyes.
In front of Jia Xu, he never had to hide his ambitions. He knew that he could just be himself.
Jia Xu did not speak. He knew that what Li Ru needed now was not comfort or advice, but talk.
He also knew why Li Ru was in so much pain. If it was just Dong Zhuo who had fallen, he would not be in pain enough to drink to drown his sorrows.
Li Ru's pain was due to the screams of the people of Chang'an in his ears, because of Dong Zhuo's wanton plunder, and because of his disappointment in himself.
At the same time, Jia Xu also knew that if Chang'an was not suppressed by Li Ru, otherwise the Bingzhou Army and the Xiliang Army would have turned Chang'an into a battlefield. Every time Li Ru thought of his original ideal, he saw and heard the painful wailing of the people in Chang'an City.
They all couldn't help but have the idea that if they had taken more care of Dong Zhuo, the people of Chang'an City would not have suffered this disaster.
Every time I heard the wailing of the people, my heart ached, and the original disappointment towards Dong Zhuo turned into hatred.
I hate why he has become like this, what we once wanted to overthrow. It is inevitable that the dragon slayer will eventually turn into an evil dragon, but why did it happen to us so early.
Li Ru, who was born in a poor family, saw clearly that the Han Dynasty under the control of aristocratic families was hopeless. Only by breaking the aristocratic families' monopoly on knowledge and wisdom could this era be changed.
When he made the oath, he was already ready to sacrifice for it. Whether it was himself or others, as long as there were obstacles on the way to reform, he would turn them into steps leading to the dawn.
Even the bones of the reformers will eventually fall into the darkness before dawn, but the light that was once within reach has now disappeared.
The front is shrouded in darkness, and there is no light. Looking around, there are only people wailing in blood and tears, but the aristocratic family is still a aristocratic family.
Even Dong Zhuo, who once stood on the same side as me, was eventually corrupted. Is personal enjoyment really that important, even if prosperity is forged from darkness.
What is happening to the people in Chang'an City now is caused by Dong Zhuo, and Li Ru also has a share of the cause and effect.
It was Dong Zhuo who tore off the fig leaf of peace in the world before Dong Zhuo came.
At least the aristocratic families in Chang'an still have the ability to whitewash peace, and they also know how to provide food and porridge during disaster years, which at least appears to be peaceful on the surface.
After Dong Zhuo came, tragedies happened again and again in Yongzhou. Wives and children were separated, children were exchanged for food, and it was Li Ru who brought Dong Zhuo to this land.
"Wen He, this is the result of my hard work for so long. These tragedies are all caused by me."
Li Ru's voice was cold, like the ice in hell. , spread to the human world, more like people who are willing to die, attracting people who seek their lives.
Jia Xu knows that Li Ru is now determined to die, but Li Ru cannot die yet, and Li Ru still needs to suppress the chaos in Chang'an.
Otherwise, Chang'an will become a battlefield between multiple forces in an instant, and by then, the people will suffer more than that.
Jia Xu didn't want to talk anymore. After all, he didn't want to get involved in Li Ru's affairs. He just wanted to live well until he died.
Li Ru didn't care when he saw Jia Xu not talking to him and pretending to be dead. After all, he and Jia Xu had been old friends for many years. How could he not know what Jia Xu was thinking.
What he is waiting for now is Dong Zhuo's death. He knows the actions of those people and what their plan is.
However, he didn't care about those people's plans. Rather, he also hoped that Dong Zhuo would die like this.
After Dong Zhuo died, it was time for him, the devil, to be buried with the dead people.
As for the Xiliang generals and Xiliang soldiers after his death, leave it to Jia Xu. After so many years of friendship, he will always help solve the funeral arrangements.
