The chaotic camp finally calmed down. After a whole night of rectification, Li Jue, Guo Si, Zhang Ji and others finally calmed down the panicked tribes, but nearly 20,000 people still fled.

Li Jue, Guo Si, Zhang Ji, Zhang Xiu and others gathered in Zhongjun's tent with sorrow.

"General Niu is unknown where he is, his life and death are unknown. My Xiliang Army has no leader. Everyone, where should we go?" Li Jue asked in a sigh.

Guo Si also sighed: "Yes, General Niu took us to Chang'an to avenge the Prime Minister. Although Li Su was defeated by our army, there were Lu Bu and Liu Cheng. Our army has half of its troops now. The court will definitely not let us go. What should we do now?"

Zhang Ji also sighed: "I also received the news that Wang Yun, Lu Bu and others advocated the elimination of our Xiliang Army. Only the right general Liu Cheng advocated pardon us and let us continue to serve the court. The emperor had no opinion, and Wang Yun and Liu Cheng were stalemate. If Wang Yun, Lu Bu and others were approved, we would be in danger!"

Everyone didn't know where to go for a while. Without the backbone, everyone was confused and helpless.

At this time, Guo Si hesitated for a moment and asked, "How about...... Let's disband our subordinates and return to Xiliang alone!"

Zhang Xiu, who had not spoken, suddenly spoke. His level was too low and he was not qualified to speak, but at this time, he couldn't care about so much. He said, "Uncles, it's easy to dissolve the tribes, but if we still can't get pardoned after the tribes are dissolved? Even if we escape to our hometown, will the court have no choice but to do anything to us?"

When these people thought, yes, if the tribes are disbanded and still cannot be pardoned, wouldn’t they die even more miserable?

At this time, a small school came into the outside of the tent and reported: "Report, Lord Li Ru is asking for a meeting outside the camp!"

"Li Ru?" Li Jue, Guo Si, Zhang Ji and others were all shocked and stood up involuntarily. Li Jue asked, "Didn't he disappear after the Prime Minister's death? Why did he suddenly appear here?"

Zhang Ji said: "Don't worry about this for now. It's not too late to welcome Lord Li in and ask. We are now in panic. We need guidance from people of wise and profound knowledgeable people. Lord Li is coming just right!"

"It's the extreme, it's the extreme!" Guo Si said repeatedly, and everyone walked out of the tent and went to the camp gate to greet him.

Li Ru and Zhang were introduced to the Central Army tent, and Li Ru was even invited to the top and sat down.

Li Ru threw Niu Fu's big axe to the ground. Li Jue, Guo Si, Zhang Ji and others were shocked. Li Jue asked, "How come General Niu's weapons are here with you, sir?"

Li Ru stroked her beard and said, "On the way here, we met General Niu's confidant Hu Chier and others. They carried General Niu's head and we were fighting with them. They were not in love with the battle, so they hurried to Chang'an and hurriedly dropped this weapon. According to my guess, they were very likely to defect to Wang Yun and Lu Bu went!"

These people were extremely angry after hearing the news that Niu Fu was killed by Hu Chier and others for gold, silver and jewelry. Zhang Ji was even more angry and said, "A group of ungrateful people, if they are caught by me, Zhang Ji, must tear them to pieces!"

Li Jue was clearer. He did not bother about this matter and asked: "Sir, the Prime Minister was conspired to kill by Wang Yun, Lu Bu and others. Why are you safe and sound? I heard that the relatives and confidants around the Prime Minister were arrested and beheaded, but you suddenly disappeared. How could you suddenly appear here? With your talent, you should not be able to see the plans of Wang Yun and others!"

Li Ru sighed: "I believe you know the Prime Minister's character and temper. He doesn't believe anyone. In the past two years, you have been away from the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister did not listen to anyone's advice and advice. If he is not satisfied, he will kill someone. We are afraid that he will cause death, so we dare not speak out for advice. The Prime Minister has been hiding anything from last year. When I found out that Wang Yun colluded with Lu Bu to conspire to assassinate the Prime Minister, it was too late. At that time, the Prime Minister was dead. Wang Yun brought a large group of people to arrest people everywhere and was about to be arrested. It was the right general Liu Cheng who sent me to rescue me, otherwise I would have become a ghost under the sword of Wang Yun and Lu Bu!"

Li Jue and others looked at each other and did not doubt Li Ru anymore. Zhang Ji asked, "What is the purpose of the lord this time?"

Li Rudao: "Wang Yun, Lu Bu and others wanted to eradicate the old subordinates of the Western Liang army, but General Liu believed that you were just coerced by Dong Zhuo and had no major mistakes. Now the princes of Guandong are preparing for war and keeping the court orders. The court is just at the moment of employing people. As long as you sincerely follow the court and obey the court's dispatch, General Liu believes that you and all the soldiers of the Western Liang army should be pardoned, so please come and discuss with you to see your thoughts and suggestions! I wonder what you think?"

These people looked at each other again, and Zhang Ji sighed: "So that's it! Liu Cheng had always been against the Prime Minister. We didn't have a good impression of Liu Cheng. Unexpectedly, when we were at the end of our journey, the only one who stood up to speak for us was him. Things are unpredictable! To be honest, we were actually discussing where to go just now. We are preparing to disband the tribes and flee back to our hometown!"

Li Ru shook his head and smiled, "In the following view, it is the most undesirable for you to dissolve your subordinates and escape to your hometown. If the court wants to pursue it, you will be caught even if you escape to the ends of the world. Right General Liu Cheng has a lofty ambitions, broad minds, and tolerantness. Why not gather his subordinates to follow General Liu?"

Li Jue and others looked at each other, gathered together and discussed in a low voice for a while. Finally, Li Jue asked: "Sir, we can apply for General Liu, but there are two problems: First, Wang Yun, Lu Bu and others want to eradicate us, how to solve this problem? Second, how will we treat after we apply for General Liu? If General Liu is really sincere, he should have a charter, right?"

Li Ru introduced Zhang Ji to everyone and said, "This is Zhang Ji, whose courtesy name is Derong, and he is the official position of Daxing Ling. He is General Liu's confidant. Please ask Derong to answer these two questions for the generals!"

Zhang stood up and bowed to Li Jue, Guo Si, Zhang Ji, Zhang Xiu and others, and then said, "After Prime Minister Dong Zhuo was assassinated, Wang Yun wanted to take Prime Minister Dong and replace him. He wanted to worry about the ministers in the court to underestimate His Majesty and oppose our generals everywhere. He refused to pardon you and the soldiers of the Xiliang Army. My general had long wanted to get rid of them, but it was difficult to start. Now Lord Li had thought of a plan that could not only get rid of them, but also let my general report to the emperor to pardon you, but this plan required you to cooperate!"

Zhang Ji immediately said: "Please say that as long as Wang Yun, Lu Bu and others can be eliminated, I am willing to do anything!"

"Okay, you will immediately send someone to gather the scattered troops and explain their great relationship to them. I think these fleeing soldiers will definitely come back. Then you will raise troops and continue to attack Chang'an under the banner of avenging Prime Minister Dong Zhuo, kill Wang Yun, Lu Bu and others, and then announce your loyalty to the emperor and our generals. In this way, you can eliminate Wang Yun, Lu Bu and others, and our generals have enough reason to ask Your Majesty for your order to pardon you!"

Guo Si was suspicious and asked, "This plan is good, but how do we know that it's not Liu Cheng who wants to use our hands to get rid of Wang Yun and Lu Bu. Then he uses a mantis to stalk the cicada, and the oriole is behind?"

Zhang Ji said: "Everyone, the Northern Army's troops have been transferred to Ji County. Duan Wei, Hu Zhen has already served our general. Wang Yun and others have ordered Hu Zhen and Duan Wei to lead their troops to fight you. At that time, you can join forces with Hu Zhen and Duan Wei to attack Chang'an. With the current defenders in Chang'an City, you will be defeated by the strong soldiers and horses in a few days!"

The few people discussed for a while, and Guo Si said, "Okay, we agree to this matter. After Wang Yun and Lu Bu are resolved, I wonder how General Liu will place us?"

Zhang Ji said: "It is impossible for you to be promoted and promoted. It is impossible for my general to risk the world's worst to promote you. Therefore, your official positions can only be maintained as they are the same for the time being. You still lead our troops. However, in order to show that you are sincerely serving the court and serving our general, you must allow our general to send people to the army of all departments to manage military discipline. You must also agree to the court to reorganize and train your troops, eliminate the old, weak, sick and disabled, and leave elites. After the reorganization and training is completed, a new number will be granted, and the military flag will be issued by the court. The court will uniformly distribute military uniforms, weapons and equipment and military pay. If you make contributions in the future, you should treat the other generals equally. Those who should be promoted and those who should be awarded will not be treated differently!"

"We wait... we need to discuss it!" Li Jue said after hearing this.

Zhang Ji said: "Of course, Zhang is waiting for you all good news!"

"Come on, prepare a tent for the two adults to rest!"

After Zhang left, Li Ru thought about it and said to Li Jue and others: "Generals, if you trust Li Ru, follow my advice and submit to General Liu. Now Duan Wei and Hu Zhen have served as General Liu. If General Liu really wants to deal with you, you can join forces with Wang Yun, Lu Bu and others to eradicate you and then deal with Wang Yun and Lu Bu. It's just a little troublesome. You should seize the opportunity!"

After a whole night of discussion, Li Jue, Guo Si, Zhang Ji and others believed that on the one hand, they could not go to Guandong. Hedong and Tongguan were guarded by Liu Cheng. Ma Teng and Han Sui would definitely not like them in the west. Wang Yun and Lu Bu were eager to get rid of them and quickly. Only Liu Cheng could accept them, so they finally agreed to surrender Liu Cheng.

In the afternoon of that day, Li Jue, Guo Si and Zhang Ji sent their troops to gather the fleeing soldiers and generals around, proclaiming that only by gathering together to attack Chang'an and killing Wang Yun and Lu Bu would be able to survive, otherwise there would be only a dead end. The Xiliang soldiers and generals who heard the news returned to the camp one after another. Once Li Jue and others counted, there were more than 3,700 people. After two days of rest, they set off to enter Chang'an.
