Li Ru in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms"

First appearance: King Qin in Beijing

Li Ru, Zhuo's son-in-law's counselor, said: "Although I have received an imperial edict, there are many people in between. There is an ambiguity. Why don't you send someone to the table? It's true and great things can be done." Zhuo was overjoyed and went to the table. The summary said: "I have heard that the reason why the world is in chaos and rebelliousness is all because Zhang Rang, the official of Huangmen, and others are disrespectful of the heaven. I heard that it is better to remove the firewood than to remove the firewood. Although the ulcer is painful, it is worse than nourishing the poison. I dare to ring the bells and drums to enter Luoyang, please give way. The country is so lucky! The imperial censor Zheng Tai admonished: "Dong Zhuo is a jackal, and he will eat people when he is introduced to the capital." /p>

Lu Zhi also admonished: "Zhisu knew that Dong Zhuo was a kind man with a kind face and a cruel heart. Once he entered the forbidden court, disaster would surely occur. It is better to stop him and not come, so as not to cause chaos."

Five Appearances: Killing the Emperor and Seizing Power

But it is said that the Young Emperor, the Queen Mother He and the Tang Concubine were trapped in Yong'an Palace, and food and clothing were gradually lacking; the Young Emperor never shed tears. One day, I saw two swallows flying in the courtyard, so I recited a poem. The poem says: "The green grass is covered with smoke, and the two flying swallows are curling up. The Luoshui River is green, and people on the road admire it. Looking far away into the deep blue clouds, it is my old palace. Who is loyal and righteous, and vents the resentment in my heart!" Dong Zhuo often asked people to inquire. I got this poem today and presented it to Dong Zhuo. Zhuo said: "If you write a poem with resentment, you will be famous for killing him." Then he ordered Li Ru to lead ten warriors into the palace to kill the emperor.

Six appearances: Seeing through Cao Cao

"Bu said to Zhuo: "When Cao Cao arrived, he seemed to be stabbing him, and he was beaten to death by drinking, so he offered his sword to him. Zhuo said: "I also doubt it." "While they were talking, Li Ru arrived, and Zhuo told him what was going on. Ru said, "Cao has no wife and is a child in Beijing. He only lives alone in his apartment. Now send someone to summon him. If he comes without any doubt, then he is offering his sword; if he fails to evade, then he must be stabbing, so he can be captured and asked. ”

Seven appearances: showing weakness and retreating

Li Jue ran away with his head in his arms and saw Dong Zhuo again, saying that Sun Jian was so rude. Zhuo was angry and asked Li Ru, "Marquis Wen has been defeated and his troops have no fighting spirit. It would be better to lead the troops back to Luoyang and move the emperor to Chang'an to respond to the nursery rhyme. A nursery rhyme in the market recently said: There is a Han at the west end, and a Han at the east end. It is not difficult for a deer to enter Chang'an. I think that the words "a Han in the west" are in response to Gaozu's prosperity in Chang'an, the western capital, and passed down to 12 emperors; "a Han in the east" are in response to Guangwu's prosperity in Luoyang, the eastern capital, and are also passed down to 12 emperors today. The destiny is coming together. Only when the prime minister moves back to Chang'an will he be safe. ”

Eight appearances: Designing Cao Cao

Let us say that when Dong Zhuo arrived at Xingyang, the prefect Xu Rong came out to meet him, and Li Ru said, "The prime minister has abandoned Luoyang to guard against pursuing troops. You can teach Xu Rong to ambush his army by the mountain dock outside Xingyang City. If there are soldiers chasing him, let him go. Wait for me to defeat him here, and then intercept and kill him. So that latecomers dare not pursue them again. ”

As a result, Cao Cao led his troops to pursue him and was defeated by Lu Bu and others.

Lü Bu laughed and said, "It's not what Li Ru expected!"

Nine appearances: Seeing through the serial scheme

Lü Bu returned in anger, met Li Ru on the road, and told him the reason. Confucianism rushed in to see Zhuo and said: "The grand master wants to conquer the world, why do you blame Marquis Wen for a small mistake? If he changes his mind, the big thing will be over." Zhuo said: "What can I do?" Confucian said: "I will call you when I come to court and give you a gift. Give him money and silk, and comfort him with good words, and nothing will happen." Zhuo Yi said.

Confucianism said: "There is a difference between favors. In the past, during the meeting of King Zhuang of Chu, Jueying, Jiang Xiong, who was in love with Ji, was later trapped by the soldiers of Qin and was rescued with all his strength. Today, Diao Chan is no more than that. A woman, and Lu Bu is a close confidant of the Grand Master. If the Grand Master takes this opportunity to express his great kindness, he will definitely repay the Grand Master with death. "Zhuo thought for a long time and said: "You said. That's right, I should think about it."

10 First appearance: expected to be defeated

The next day, Li Ru came in and said, "Today is a good day, I can give Diao Chan to Lu Bu." Zhuo said, "Bu and I are father and son, so it is not convenient for me to give it to him. It's just that I won't be punished. You can tell me what I want to say, so I can comfort you." Ru said, "The master must not be deceived by women." Zhuo Bianzhuo said, "Your wife is willing." Not with Lu Bu? Don't say anything more about Diao Chan; if you say anything, you will be killed!" Li Ru came out, looked up to the sky and sighed: "We all died at the hands of this woman!"

Eleven appearances: The defeat is determined, the city cao will poke it

Zhuo You was happy but not doubtful. As soon as they arrived outside the city, all the officials came out to greet him. Only Li Ru was sick at home and could not go out to greet him. At this time, Li Ru actually knew Dong Zhuo's defeat. Otherwise, his most trusted person did not appear on this occasion.

But at that moment Lu Bu shouted: "Those who help Zhuo and abuse him are all Li Ru! Who can capture him?" Li Su responded and was willing to go. Suddenly, a shout was heard outside the court door. It was reported that the slaves of Li Ru's family had bound Li Ru to be sacrificed.
