As Dong Zhuo's counselor, Li Ru knew the world's famous generals and court officials very well, but he had never heard of Liu Cheng, so he asked: "My lord, who is this Liu Cheng?"
Dong Zhuo said: "Yesterday night at the foot of Beimang Mountain, we met the emperor's chariot and his entourage.
This Liu Cheng was among them.
It is said that he himself said that he was a small bodyguard in Luoyang City.
We have sent people to inquire.
This person is indeed a bodyguard.
Division.
Yesterday evening, Zhang Rang and others took the emperor, the queen mother, and King Chen Liu hostage and arrived at Xiaopingjin Ferry on the Yellow River.
They were overtaken by Mingong's troops.
When the two sides were in a stalemate, Liu Cheng suddenly came out and rescued the emperor and others. people" Li Ru touched his goatee and suddenly smiled: "Ru understands.
Now that the Imperial Guards are dead and wounded, and the Palace Imperial Guards are controlled by the soldiers and horses brought by Your Majesty, the Queen Mother's bodyguards are too weak, and she is worried about the safety of herself and the Emperor, so she This Liu Cheng was promoted and allowed to seize the right command of the Xiyuan Army to strengthen his own protection force.
The reason why it was Liu Cheng and not someone else was simple.
Liu Cheng had a clean background, innocent wealth, and was cold.
It was just convenient to control the family, but Liu Cheng wanted to be rich and powerful, but he could only rely on the emperor and the queen mother.
Because he saved the emperor and was appointed an official by the emperor, no matter who in the eyes, he is the emperor and the queen mother.
Even if he wants to rely on the gentry, the gentry will not believe him.
He has never seen this person.
He doesn't know what his temperament is.
If possible, he can try to bribe and win over him.
Even if he fails, he can also alienate him and the Queen Mother."
Dong Zhuo nodded, "Yes, this method is feasible."
At this time, Hua Xiong came in from outside and hugged Dong Zhuo: "Sir, we have found General Fan Chou, but..."
"But Hua Xiong, when did you become hesitant to speak?
If you have something to say, just say it."
Dong Zhuo still valued Hua Xiong very much, and there was no blame or anger in his tone.
Hua Xiong turned around and waved outside: "Bring it in."
Corpses were carried in by the soldiers lying on stretchers, and were quickly placed side by side in the hall.
Dong Zhuo and Li Ru's expressions changed.
They immediately stood up and walked to the row of corpses.
Hua Xiong uncovered the white cloth on the middle corpse, and Fan Chou's pale face appeared in front of Dong Zhuo and Li Ru.
Dong Zhuo saw Fan Chou's body cut into two pieces from the chest with a sharp blade.
His eyes suddenly opened as big as a bell, veins popped out on his forehead, and he suppressed his anger: "Who did this?
Who did this?"
Hua Xiong clasped his fists and said: "The last general sent scouts to track the whereabouts of General Fan and others, and dug up their bodies in the grass at the foot of Beimang Mountain.
During that time, there were people who appeared there and had enough force to kill Fan.
As far as the general knows, it is only Liu Cheng, but the general has no evidence."
"Liu Chengwu will definitely kill you" Dong Zhuo roared.
Li Ru hurriedly tried to persuade him: "Sir, calm down and calm down your anger.
A small impatience will mess up a big plan."
Dong Zhuo was so angry that he was panting like an old cow.
He held his left hand tightly on the hilt of the sword, and the veins on the back of his hand popped out, as if he was about to kill someone at any time.
Li Ru knew that Dong Zhuo was probably fine, so he turned to ask Hua Xiong: "General Hua, can you start from the wounds on General Fan and these soldiers?
Can you judge whether these wounds were caused by Liu Cheng's weapons?"
Hua Xiong thought for a while and said: "The weapon used by Liu Cheng is a strange weapon called the dragon tooth boring machine.
It is like a fork.

The spear head in the middle is sharp and the dragon tooth blades on both sides are extremely sharp.
General Fan Chou and these soldiers Before they died, they were not killed by the Dragon Tooth Boring from the front.
General Fan Chou The soldier should have been split into two pieces by the Dragon Tooth Blade, and several other soldiers also suffered such wounds, and several others were killed by weapon poles.
The shape of these wounds and the extent of the injured parts can also be treated by other weapons.
Yes, so I can’t cause trouble to Liu Cheng in this regard.”
Li Ru put his left hand on his back and kept stroking his goat's beard with his right hand.
He walked back and forth in the hall for a few times.
He stopped and raised his head and asked, "How can Liu Cheng's martial arts kill General Fan and these elite scouts?"
It shouldn’t be low.”
Hua Xiong couldn't help turning his head to look at Dong Zhuo.
Dong Zhuo shouted impatiently: "Just tell me."
"Yes."
Hua Xiong agreed and said to Li Ru: "Yesterday, when General Mo followed the master to catch up with the emperor's chariot, he had a conflict with Liu Cheng and even fought against him.
Although he only got one move right, General Mo could feel that Liu Cheng Cheng’s martial arts skills may not be inferior to those of the generals, but at least their strength is not inferior to those of the generals.”
Li Ru frowned and said to Dong Zhuo: "My lord, the Queen Mother has begun to make moves to strengthen herself and the emperor's guard.
Liu Cheng has been attracted by her.
If we want to fully control the palace, it is best to eliminate the emperor." and all the protective forces around the Queen Mother, as long as we want, we can kill the queen and depose the emperor at any time.
Firstly, we can achieve the purpose of controlling the government, and secondly, we can improve the situation by deposing the emperor and establishing a new emperor.
Master Sheng's authority, so Liu Cheng is the enemy we need to kill first, but now it's a bit tricky.
First of all, Liu Cheng's martial arts are so strong that ordinary people can't kill him.
Now, General Hua Xiong has the strongest martial arts among our army.
Killing Liu Cheng cannot be solved with just a few moves, not to mention that he still has more than 2,000 soldiers.
If there is a fierce fight, it is still unclear who will lose and who will win, so we can't touch Liu Cheng now."
Dong Zhuo said angrily: "Do you want our family to endure this bad breath?"
"No."
Li Ru shook his head and said with cupped hands: "Sir, our top priority now is not to kill Liu Cheng, but to seize military power.
As long as we can control most of the military power in Luoyang, it will be easy to kill Liu Cheng.
Then we will not need to do anything at all, just It was necessary to use a large army to intimidate the emperor and force the emperor to issue an order for Liu Cheng to commit suicide.
Even if Liu Cheng had extraordinary abilities, he could only hold the grudge on the spot."
Dong Zhuo's anger gradually subsided, but he still frowned and said: "That's what I say, but we don't have any clue on how to seize the military power of Luoyang's armies."
"Ru was about to tell the adults about this just now, but was interrupted by General Hua Xiong coming in."
Hua Xiong said and walked to Dong Zhuo's side, whispering a few words in his ear.
After hearing this, Dong Zhuo clapped his hands and expressed joy: "Wonderful, wonderful, Wen You is really my wife."
"I don't dare to be so high-minded as an adult."
Li Ru said modestly, and then said: "My lord, although we can't do anything to Liu Cheng for the time being, we can't let the Queen Mother feel too comfortable.
If the Queen Mother is given complete control over the court palace and the North and South Palaces, I will lose my right to speak in the court.
If the emperor, queen mother and ministers are not afraid of you, how can they compromise on some of your suggestions?"
Dong Zhuo immediately asked: "How to do it?"
"Breaked into the palace at night and asked the emperor why he recruited the Yulin Army into the palace without knowing you.
After all, your army is now responsible for the imperial army."
