Isn’t that Lord Yuan Shao preparing to form a coalition of lords to crusade against us?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When they gather for their oath, we will drag out the entire Lord Yuan Wei family and execute them to sacrifice to our banners.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then, we will pack up the heads of Lord Yuan Wei and the others and send them all to Lord Yuan Shao, Lord Yuan Shu, and the coalition of lords.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This way, we can not only take revenge on the Lord Yuan family and make Lord Yuan Shao and Lord Yuan Shu regret it, but also greatly strike at the morale of this so-called coalition of lords, which will be extremely beneficial for us to defeat them.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to kill them and destroy their hearts at the very moment Lord Yuan Shao and the others were happiest and most glorious, making them cough up blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good! This is good!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dong Zhuo’s eyes lit up upon hearing this, and he clapped his hands in approval: “This is the most satisfying! The most satisfying!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“However, why should Lu Bu be the one to do this?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He refused my idea of adopting him as a foster son back then; I don’t quite trust him!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That Ding Lord Yuan was also his former master, yet he could kill Ding Lord Yuan for the sake of a Red Hare horse. I worry that in the future, he might cut off my head for the sake of profit.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was correct! Lu Bu had not only refused the request to be a foster son from Ding Lord Yuan, but also the one from Dong Zhuo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had simply killed Ding Lord Yuan and defected to Dong Zhuo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt that following Ding Lord Yuan had no future; that old thing had only wanted to use him from beginning to end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He squeezed him dry and wouldn’t give him a promotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dong Zhuo, on the other hand, was more generous and had a better future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, he had even made his choice directly without asking Su Xuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, he also kept in mind the disadvantages of having a foster father that Su Xuan had analyzed for him, so he had likewise refused Dong Zhuo’s proposal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if it meant not being trusted by Dong Zhuo because of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Ru smiled cunningly: “It is precisely because of this that Father-in-law must let Lu Bu do this thing!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Only in this way can Lu Bu thoroughly offend the Lord Yuan family and even the Guandong gentry to the point of no return, making it impossible for them to ever accept him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This way, Father-in-law will not have to worry about him betraying you when the coalition of lords attacks us!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is, in effect, a pledge of allegiance!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dong Zhuo suddenly realized: “So that’s how it is! Haha! Good! Good! Then let Lu Bu do this!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dong Zhuo immediately summoned Lu Bu and ordered: “Brother Fengxian! That Lord Yuan Shao is raising an army to crusade against me. You are to take troops immediately to capture the entire Lord Yuan Wei family, throw them all into the dungeon, and guard them strictly. No one is allowed to visit.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Bu did not think much of it, agreed immediately, and turned to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his mind, it was just the Lord Yuan Wei family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he caught them, he caught them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In any case, this Lord Yuan Wei had always looked down on him and disliked him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because he had killed Ding Lord Yuan back then, allowing Dong Zhuo to take Luoyang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, it was the perfect chance to vent his anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tsk tsk! Father-in-law! General Lu is quite decisive! It seems he is a pure soldier; you might as well give him a bit more trust!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Ru had watched Lu Bu’s reaction the whole time, a flash of appreciation in his eyes, and advised Dong Zhuo: “After all, he is a Heavenly Human Divine General and is your trump card.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Among the lords, there is no lack of martial arts experts; we will certainly need General Lu to exert great effort to confront them later!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since he had already subdued Lu Bu, it was best not to let him become alienated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, if Lu Bu became unhappy, he really might kill Dong Zhuo under someone else’s instigation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This had to be guarded against.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pure soldiers had both advantages and disadvantages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone like Lu Bu was easily exploited by those with ulterior motives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dong Zhuo stroked his beard and deliberated: “Wenyou, what you say makes sense! Then once he captures the Lord Yuan Wei family, promote him to General Who Exerts Might!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Father-in-law is wise!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Ru immediately flattered him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Haha!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dong Zhuo’s mood had improved significantly after Li Ru’s explanation, but he then asked: “Wenyou, do you have any other ways to deal with Lord Yuan Shao and Lord Yuan Shu, to limit their development and make them suffer?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I am still very unwilling to just sit by and watch them grow and strengthen.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Especially that Lord Yuan Shu, he occupies Nanyang, Runan, and the Yingchuan area.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Under his command is that Sun Sun Jian; this man is a fierce tiger and is very good at fighting.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They are too close to Luoyang; it is very dangerous!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Can we mess with him?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt extreme disgust and hatred for this Lord Yuan family member who had only recently swindled the position of Nanyang Administrator from him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wished he would die.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I actually do have one! Even if you hadn’t asked, I was planning to suggest dealing with them this time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Ru’s mind stirred upon hearing this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dong Zhuo raised an eyebrow: “So we thought of the same thing? Speak! Speak! What is the method?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Does Father-in-law still remember General of the Vanguard Su Xuan?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Ru immediately asked in return.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dong Zhuo was stunned, then nodded: “Naturally I remember! He is also an incredible young man! His ability is even stronger than Sun Sun Jian’s.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dong Zhuo was also very wary of this person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why do you bring him up?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That person is in Nan Commandery; are you planning to use him to deal with Lord Yuan Shu and Sun Sun Jian?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is that possible?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xuan did not seem like someone who would listen to his words or defect to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This person was also one of the few people Dong Zhuo could not understand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why wouldn’t it be possible?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Ru smiled faintly: “As long as the profit is sufficient, nothing is impossible!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Su Xuan does not seem like a moral saint with no desire for power.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Otherwise, he would not have achieved his current success and status!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As long as we give him enough benefits that he cannot refuse, he can also be used by us to a certain extent!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Ru was full of confidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ho?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dong Zhuo became interested and urged: “Speak quickly! What is the method?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Governor of Jingzhou!”\u003C\u002Fp>",1395,"2026-06-16T22:49:48.247Z","2026-06-16T22:58:41.015Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","b1416f56fc1d81b4d95ad10e9a8a3b9a28d0a1411306a4aece42b12036f5dcb3","heaven-defying-comprehension-building-an-eternal-chapter-216","heaven-defying-comprehension-building-an-eternal-chapter-214",467,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fheaven-defying-comprehension-building-an-eternal-cover.jpg"]
