Chapter 486 Want the world or fame?
"It seems that this is your purpose to find me this time."
Now that things have come, how could Jia Xu not understand Li Ru’s true intention to come here?
It is false to ask him to come out to assist Dong Zhuo, but it is true to plan the realm of divineness.
"No, if you are willing to come out of the mountain to assist you, I will sweep the bed to greet you."
"Why, aren't you afraid that I'll steal your limelight?"
"If you want to rob it, then rob it."
"Forget it, I'm used to being free and relaxed. As for opening up a great road for poor families, you should do it."
"Okay, it's already dark, I have to go back to the room to sleep. Brother Wenyou please take care of yourself." After Jia Xu said that, Shi Shi returned to the room. After a while, the room completely darkened, as if he was really resting.
In response, Li Ru shook his head and turned around and left the courtyard.
After Li Ru left, the door opened again, Jia Xu's figure appeared in front of the door, looking at the direction where Li Ru left.
"It's not that I don't want to help you, but that you are stubborn. Since you have seen that Dong Zhuo is not a destiny, you still have to go against the will of heaven. You may not be able to overcome this change..."
Jia Xu sighed quietly and then closed the door.
This time, I really went to bed and rest.
...
"Wenyou, can the capital be moved properly? The coalition of princes will come to Luoyang City in a few days. When will we go to Chang'an?"
In the past few days, Dong Zhuo has been sending his soldiers to collect gold, silver and jewelry from Luoyang City. Millions of troops have disrupted Luoyang and made people live in turmoil.
However, Luoyang City is too big. In a few days, only half of Luoyang's wealth was collected. Although Dong Zhuo was greedy, he also knew that Luoyang should not be stayed for a long time, so it would be better to leave as soon as possible.
"My lord is calm and he should not be impatient. According to the spies ahead, the coalition of princes has just set out from Hulao Pass. Even if he travels day and night, it will take more than ten days to reach Luoyang."
Li Ru wanted to stay in Luoyang to overcome the tribulation and break the realm, so naturally he would not let Dong Zhuo leave. Not to mention whether Liu Hong, who was hiding in the dark, would let Dong Zhuo leave Luoyang so easily.
If the change starts early due to Dong Zhuo's actions, he may not be able to withstand the pressure without the pressure shared by the coalition forces of the princes. This is not the situation he wants to see.
?In order to allow Dong Zhuo to stay in Luoyang for a few more days, Li Ru continued: "Although the coalition of princes is now aggressive, he still has some concerns and dare not come to Luoyang without scrupulously. He will inevitably inquire with a scout first and then slowly advance. There is still a lot of time left for us, so the lord can plunder it as much as possible."
"After all, if you want to build a new imperial palace in Chang'an City, the resources consumed will be astronomical and must be supported by Luoyang's wealth."
In order to keep Dong Zhuo, Li Ru almost fooled Dong Zhuo.
However, Dong Zhuo was still afraid of death, so he asked with concern: "Safe? What are they concerned about? Now that Lu Bu is half-destroyed and cannot defend against the enemy at all. Once all the princes rush in, Luoyang will be in danger. I think it is better to leave as soon as possible."
????? It seemed that he knew that Dong Zhuo would say this, Li Ru said calmly: "Lord, don't worry. Ru has a plan to stop the princes from moving forward, and to ensure that the lord can move the capital smoothly!"
"Luoyang City is the capital of the Han Dynasty. Whether it is the city itself or some special buildings inside it, they all have extraordinary abilities!"
"If we withdraw from Luoyang and give in, it is a pity that we will give in to such a mighty city. Therefore, according to the Confucian views, it is better to set fire to it."
"What?"
When Dong Zhuo heard Li Ru say this, he was stunned.
You should know that since ancient times, there has been a convention that cities cannot be destroyed. No matter how much war is, no matter how many people die, the city itself cannot move, otherwise it will be despised by people all over the world.
Now that Li Ru actually asked him to set fire to the city, he couldn't help but wonder what Li Ru was feeling.
Li Ru seemed to know what Dong Zhuo was thinking, so he continued:
???? "As the saying goes, if you should stop and suffer from chaos, you will accomplish great things, you will be afraid to do what the world does."
"Any consequences shall be borne by me!"
The reason why Li Ru thought of setting fire to the city was not just to stop the pace of the vassal coalition, nor was it because of the perverted mentality of "destroying it if you can't get it."
After all, he was trying to deal with Emperor Ling of Han who was hiding in the dark.
Of course, the fire does not have to be burned, but you can prepare in advance. If the situation is really beyond control and he cannot overcome this danger in Luoyang, then use the fire to burn Luoyang to break the situation. This is a way out for him.
Although he stayed for a breakthrough, he was not sure whether he could make a breakthrough.
In this way, one naturally needs a backup plan, and a backup plan that can survive even if you lose.
Luoyang is the capital of the Han Dynasty. He did not believe in the princes or Emperor Ling of Han, so he went to the capital to deal with Dong Zhuo and ignored the safety of the capital.
????? And after hearing Li Ru's words, Dong Zhuo looked a little gloomy and unstable.
At this moment, he developed a little fear of Li Ru.
He thought he was crazy enough, but no matter how crazy he was, he would not dare to destroy the city.
As a frontier garrison, he naturally knew the importance of a city to the human race.
Why do those alien races insist on invading the great men? They really think it is for the so-called food and territory?
In fact, they are not, they are more for the big Seoul city itself.
The human sages set up a sacred city to conquer the world and resist the invasion of the ghost clan, but the barbarians outside the border did not have this.
The only way they can resist the invasion of the ghost clan is to use the so-called demon god totem to obtain small-scale protection by offering sacrifices to some unknown existences in the sky outside the sky.
However, this kind of protection and treatment of symptoms but not the root cause, and the resources sacrificed every year have already made it extremely painful.
Even many alien races would rather face the invasion of the ghosts than offer sacrifices to the so-called demon gods.
In comparison, the cities built by the human sages are simply paradises in the eyes of those alien races, and they are naturally flocking to them!
"Do you know what it means to burn Luoyang?" At this moment, Dong Zhuo's tone was a little solemn.
"I know."
"Since you know, you should know that the consequences are not something you can bear as long as you want. Once you do it, not only you, me, but also the entire Xiliang people will be despised by the world!"
Dong Zhuo suddenly stood up and shouted at Li Ru.
"I just ask my lord one thing, is it the lord who wants the world or reputation!"
Li Ru calmly wiped off the saliva from her face and looked directly at Dong Zhuo and said.
"I……"
Li Ru's question shocked Dong Zhuo and sat back with a little depressed look.
"Everything... will be decided by Wenyou. I'm a little tired, you can step down."
After saying this, Dong Zhuo was like a deflated ball and collapsed on the Taishi chair.
"I'm leaving."
Li Ru didn't say anything more, bowed and retreated, and closed the door.
Li Ru, who was standing outside the door, had a little lonely eyes. The reason why he made this proposal was a test for Dong Zhuo.
Facts have proved that Dong Zhuo is indeed not a wise master.
"Divine Realm..."
Then Li Ru sighed again.
The difficulty of the strategist breakthrough and the warrior breakthrough are completely different.
