Chen Gui directly pretended to be deaf and dumb. He was too old to hear anything.

"Let go of the Yangzhou spies without authorization, and I will report the truth to my lord." Li Ru threatened, but Chen Gui refused to enter.

Li Ru said this, of course, to find out the identity of the Yangzhou spies and find out what information they had obtained.

Unfortunately, Chen Gui didn't cooperate at all.

"Master Li, don't slander my Chen family, what kind of spies, you find out before you speak." Chen Gui said.

Of course, Li Ru didn't have any proof, so he threatened, "Chen Deng is at the front line, is he doing too well?"

Chen Gui's pupils shrank, he was such a promising son, how could he let others handle him?

"Lord Li, speak carefully!"

Li Ru knew that he should not force him too much, he thought he had nothing to lose, so he beat Chen Gui a bit.

"If you dare to make small moves in the future, don't blame me for being ruthless."

When Li Ru followed Dong Zhuo, he killed countless people, even if he was Sangong, he was still a man with his tail clamped.In the past, Li Ru would have killed Chen Gui long ago, but unfortunately, in order to maintain his image in Liu Bei's heart, he did not.

Chen Gui returned home, still in shock.This Xuzhou is becoming less and less like a place for people to stay.

Maybe one day, the Chen family will be uprooted and we have to guard against it.

After Xu Shu and Hua Xiong left the city, they separated directly from the main force, so Li Ru's pursuit force got nothing.

When Li Ru heard the news, he could only sigh, is the life of Yangzhou people so big?

First, Liu Bei was defeated, Yuan Shao was defeated slightly, Cao Cao was defeated again, and Gongsun Zan lost his pants.

Among the allied forces, only Sun Ce can be regarded as a hero, but that's just because the Marquis of Dongyang didn't focus on Jiaozhou.

Revenge was nowhere in sight, and Li Ru felt depressed. He wished he could go to the battlefield and personally command the 30 troops.

Even though they have an absolute advantage in numbers, they are still playing so uselessly.

It is better to press the whole army directly than the current confrontation.

A protracted war is also beneficial to Yangzhou.

Since Dongyang Hou promoted the two crops of sweet potatoes and corn, everyone has no shortage of food, and the population and military strength have both increased.

However, compared with Yangzhou, the states still lack background.

Compared with Li Ru's sorrow, Xu Shu is much happier. As long as Li Ru's identity is revealed, the allies will be suspicious.

The hard work during this time was not in vain.

At the same time, Xu Shu was also a little lucky, if it wasn't Hua Xiong who came, he might not be able to recognize Li Ru.So Xu Shu directly ignored some of Hua Xiong's faults.

Xu Shu returned to the frontline barracks and begged to see Liu Ke immediately.

At this time, Liu Ke was discussing with Guo Jia how to defeat the enemy, and he was overjoyed to see Xu Shu's return.

"Yuanzhi, it's really hard work for you."

Xu Shu cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty is serious."

So Xu Shu began to report what he saw and heard in Xiapi.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"Li Shang is Li Ru." Xu Shu said.

This sentence made Liu Ke and Guo Jia couldn't believe it.Li Ru is the number one counselor under Dong Zhuo's tent, and he went to work with Liu Bei?

After Liu Ke defeated Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao took control of Chang'an and liquidated it, but Li Ru escaped.

Now, Li Ru came out again, and everyone knew why.

revenge.

Liu Ke thought he was strong, but in the end he was tricked by Li Ru.

How majestic it is for millions of allied forces to jointly attack Yangzhou.

This is the first time that Li Ru has really pushed Yangzhou into a dangerous situation.

"Heroes in the world should not be underestimated." Liu Ke sighed.

Guo Jia also took a sip of mulled wine, who knew the script would turn out like this.However, Li Ru's sensitive identity may be a breakthrough.

"Therefore, our army should reveal Li Ru's identity to Yuan Shao and drive a wedge between the allies," Xu Shu said.

Guo Jia nodded in agreement, and said his thoughts, "My lord and I have discussed it for a long time. The reason why Gongsun Zan joined the war is probably because of Liu Bei's promise to carve up Jizhou with him afterwards."

Xu Shu's eyes lit up, and he immediately completed his thoughts.Yuan Shao hated Dong Zhuo, and of course Li Ru who served under Dong Zhuo's command, but since Dong Zhuo had perished, Yuan Shao would only put aside the hatred in his heart and concentrate on dealing with Yangzhou.

However, Liu Bei's conspiracy with Gongsun Zan is different. Yuan Shao's interests have been violated, and he will definitely jump out.

"Find a suitable person to expose this matter." Liu Ke said, meaning that this work cannot be carried out by Yangzhou, otherwise Yuan Shao might not believe it.

"What do you think of Chen Deng?" Xu Shu suggested.

The Chen family had always been at odds with Liu Bei, so it was only normal to reveal some news to Yuan Shao.

"Yes, Chen Deng is a thoughtful person, as long as he wants to make trouble for Liu Bei, he will succeed." Liu Ke said.
