Chapter 28
As the old saying goes, wine is a gut-piercing medicine, sex is a bone-scraping knife, wealth is a downhill tiger, and anger is a seed that causes trouble.

And Dong Zhuo has all four things. Luoyang is too prosperous, and the life of the upper nobles of the decaying empire is too extravagant. How can Dong Zhuo, a reckless man who started in the military, be able to stop this colorful world.

Under the temptation of wine, sex and wealth, Dong Zhuo quickly degenerated from a Xiliang hero and overlord to a fat man who craves pleasure.

Li Ru was very disappointed, but somewhat helpless.

Sitting on the favorable location of Hangu Pass in the Western Qin Dynasty, as long as the basic situation of Xiliang is stable, someone in this world can defeat them, but no one can defeat them head-on.

Li Ru has already made a plan. If nothing can be done, then move the capital directly, throw Luoyang to the Kwantung Allied Forces, divide it up, and then they take everything to Chang'an.

When Dong Zhuo began to degenerate, Li Ru also inevitably began to move towards conservatism. He and Dong Zhuo both prospered and lost each other. Since Dong Zhuo doesn't want to compete for the world, forget it.

He is not young anymore, and his previous ambitions have also been obliterated by reality. The humble family and high-ranking officials in his eyes now look ridiculous.

The Yuan family of four generations and three lords has a great name, but the Tai Fu Yuan Huai said he would be beheaded. Not only Yuan Huai, but more than 1000 Yuan family members in Luoyang had their heads chopped off.

Although the Yuan family was not uprooted and the Yuan family in Runan still existed, at least Yuan Huai, the Grand Tutor, had his head cut off.

Family?Shit family!As long as the fist in your hand is big enough, if it's a dragon, you have to coil up, and if it's a tiger, you have to lie down.

At least now Luoyang is headed by Dong Zhuo.

He really can't overthrow the family, because the dragon slayer will eventually become a dragon.

Even if these current aristocratic families are overthrown, won't his descendants become aristocratic families if they continue in the future?
This seemed to be an unsolvable problem, and Li Ru fell into complete confusion.

The disillusionment of his ideals and Dong Zhuo's decadence made Li Ru also start to become decadent. He no longer thought about how to help Dong Zhuo to fight for world hegemony, but planned to help Dong Zhuo close the door and become the local emperor.

After Jiu killed Hongnong King Liu Bian, Li Ru's contempt for the family and imperial power reached its peak.

emperor?It's a joke, King Hongnong has the destiny of the emperor, so he was abolished and then killed by him.

Anyway, sitting on the favorable location of Hangu Pass in the Western Qin Dynasty, just sit and watch the clouds rise and fall, and let the Guandong princes bite the dogs. Anyway, they are invincible.

With such a mentality, Li Ru began to divide the princes of the Guandong, and made officials to each prince in the name of the court. Of course, Yuan Shao was the first to bear the burden. He directly changed Yuan Shao to Jizhou Shepherd, so that Yuan Shao would inevitably have interests with Han Fu. conflict.

Although Han Fu is a former student of the Yuan family, under the real power, how much is such a thing as a former student worth, and the two sides are bound to have conflicts.

This is also Li Ru's provocation of the relationship between Yuan Shao and Han Fu after he learned that Jushou was the coach, or he directly brought up the conflict in front of Han Fu.

Followed by other princes, Li Ru divided them into places where they conflicted with others according to intelligence.

The chaos of the world is doomed, and the princes will inevitably fight endlessly like the Spring and Autumn and Warring States in the future, and a justifiable reward will naturally make them think like dogs.

Even if they knew that this was Li Ru's game, those beneficiaries would not care about it. They would definitely scold the traitor Dong Zhuo, and then accept Dong Zhuo's reward in full. After all, Li Ru issued the reward in the name of the emperor of the Han Dynasty.

But this is just a simple estrangement. These Kwantung princes need to win at least before they put the conflict on the table.

Li Ru didn't care, anyway, the tung oil and fire starters in Luoyang were almost in place, as long as Luoyang's treasures, money, and population were all taken away, then Hulao Pass was abandoned, and the princes of the Kanto region were introduced to Luoyang. The fire directly burned them to half.

As for whether the coalition forces will pursue them in the future, Li Ru is very relieved. For this reason, he used the jade seal and put the jade seal directly in Luoyang to completely ignite the conflicting powder kegs of the Kanto princes.

Thinking of this, Li Ru suddenly had a new idea. Now that the sky has been angered and people complained, it is better to go even further, directly dig the imperial tomb, and tear up the last fig leaf of the big man.

After thinking about it, Li Ru decided to hand over this matter to Lu Bu, which could be regarded as completely tying Lu Bu to their chariot in Xiliang, and maybe he could use Lu Bu to occupy Bingzhou.

Although they lost their aggressiveness, Li Ru still knew very well that strength was the basis for them to do whatever they wanted, and Bingzhou, which was as famous as Liangzhou, was obviously a good place to recruit soldiers.

"what?"

When Li Ru was dealing with government affairs and planning to gradually move to Luoyang, he suddenly discovered something novel in the memorial.

"Qingzhou yellow scarf?" Li Ru looked at the memorial in his hand with a strange expression.

"Dong Min presented it?" After Li Ru asked someone, he found the source of the memorial. The Qingzhou envoy spent a lot of money to ask Dong Zhuo's younger brother Dong Min to submit the memorial.

He was not surprised how this thing appeared, as long as he used money to open the way, he could do anything in Luoyang, and it was just a matter of submitting a memorial, which was no problem at all.

After thinking about it, a sneer appeared on the corner of Li Ru's mouth, an enemy's enemy is a friend.

Anyway, they retreated to Hangu Pass, and the matter of Qingzhou should be left to Kong Rong, Yuan Shao, Tao Qian and the others.

With a wave of his hand, Li Ru handed Qingzhou herds to Mu Yi.

It's really too stingy to ask for Donglai County Sheriff. If you want a Qingzhou shepherd, dog eats dog anyway. Qingzhou is next to Jizhou. I hope Yuan Shao will like his gift.

Moreover, the ability of the Yellow Turban in Qingzhou to deliver things to him is a manifestation of his ability. He is very curious about what kind of waves this Yellow Turban remnant named Mu Yi can make.

Li Ru took a blank imperial decree and filled in some random things, then sealed it with a jade seal, and asked him to fill in the whole document and other things according to the process.

Now Li Ru is really in power, especially when Dong Zhuo is doing badly, he is the real person in power, and Yuxi can hold it in his hand and play with it casually.

To be honest, in fact, Li Ru still had a glimmer of hope in his heart, hoping that one of Dong Zhuo's descendants would be a survivor of Fen VI, so he arranged some casual chess.

And Mu Yi belonged to this in his eyes. In Li Ru's eyes, Mu Yi was no different from Heishan Army and Baibo Army, but smarter and more courageous.

Li Ru has never underestimated the Yellow Turban, because the Yellow Turban defeated the Xiliang Iron Cavalry head-on, and also made Dong Zhuo because of Zhang Jiao.

Without Zhang Jiao starting the Yellow Turban Rebellion, how could Dong Zhuo hold supreme power? Now that Mu Yi has shown his ability, Li Ru doesn't mind helping Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others.
