The book is followed last time.

Last time, Li Zhi did not go to show off with Dong Zhuo directly because he understood people's hearts!

Li Zhi knew that once he went to show off with Dong Zhuo directly, Dong Zhuo would feel fooled from his heart!

But if Dong Zhuo himself exposed Li Zhi's identity, it would be very different, which would give him a sense of superiority to expose others' conspiracy.

In this way, Dong Zhuo will not act irritably because he is angry.

As long as Dong Zhuo is not in a hurry to act, there will be a basis for a transaction between them.

That's why Li Zhi sent people to spread rumors that he could expose his identity.

Not only that, Li Zhi also wanted to achieve one goal, that is, to alienate the relationship between Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu!

Lu Bu has been with Li Zhi for many days, and now that Li Zhi's identity has been exposed, Dong Zhuo will definitely doubt Lu Bu. Even if he doesn't doubt it, Li Ru will doubt it!

Li Ru is a smart person, and smart people like to think too much!

So, after he knew that Mr. Mu was Li Zhi, he would definitely think: "Why was Lu Bu with Li Zhi?"

Does he have any deal with Li Zhi?

Or is Lu Bu always Li Zhi’s person?

Is Lu Bu trustworthy?

Is it the night attack that Lu Bu was singing a double act with Li Zhi?"

After Li Zhi's true identity is known by Li Ru, this series of questions will definitely appear in Li Ru's mind!

And he will definitely tell Dong Zhuo all these questions!

Because in his mind, Lu Bu was no longer trustworthy, so he had to let Dong Zhuo be on guard against Lu Bu.

Once Dong Zhuo heard these thoughts of Li Ru, he would definitely give birth to a seed called suspicion in his heart.

In this way, Dong Zhuo no longer trusts Lu Bu.

Li Zhi wanted this, he just wanted to set up a high wall between Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo, so that the two of them could repel each other, but they could use each other.

Once Dong Zhuo becomes suspicious of Lu Bu, he will never talk about anything like before, and he will definitely play tricks.

Although Lu Bu is a little clever, in essence, Lu Bu is still willing to trust those who are straightforward.

When Lu Bu discovered Dong Zhuo's abnormality, he would definitely guess that Dong Zhuo had suspicious of him, then...

"Hehehehe..." Thinking of this, Li Zhi smiled happily.

Through these observations of time, Li Zhi also had a rough understanding of Lu Bu.

He knew that Lu Bu was very stubborn and would not change his mind once he determined something.

Therefore, once he believes that Dong Zhuo doubts him, he will definitely break with Dong Zhuo in his heart!

Lu Bu's reputation is very bad, and few people will recruit him, so after Dong Zhuo's death, Lu Bu can only surrender to Li Zhilai!

Of course, Li Zhi did not deliberately plot against Lu Bu, but happened to have this opportunity, so he plotted against him.

"It's really just a good time!" Li Zhi thought inexplicably.

"Good method for General Husband!"

Just as Li Zhi was thinking about something, Dong Zhuo's roar came from afar.

When Li Zhi heard this, he immediately turned his head to look at the origin of the voice.

I saw Dong Zhuo and a few people heading towards him with great momentum.

After Dong Zhuo came here, Li Zhi immediately bowed to him and said with a smile: "It's just some small means, which makes the general laugh."

"Hmph!" Hearing this, Dong Zhuo snorted coldly, glanced at Lu Bu who was beside him from the corner of his eyes, and said, "If this is a trick, then the true appearance has become a fool who can't even see through tricks?"

Listening to Dong Zhuo's words that seemed to be deliberately seeking fault, Li Zhi smiled bitterly and said, "This matter is not my marquis's fault. I am here to apologize to the general."

After saying that, Li Zhi bowed to Dong Zhuo.

Then, he shook his head and said, "However, this marquis did not cause any losses to the general, so there is no need for the general to be so angry!"

"Hmph!" Dong Zhuo sneered twice after hearing this, and said disdainfully: "If Xu Rong, a member of a certain family, had exposed you, I'm afraid you are still hiding your true nature!"

Speaking of this, when Dong Zhuo saw that Li Zhi was still about to speak, he waved his hand, interrupted him, and asked, "General Cavalry, just tell me clearly, what is the matter with you in my prime minister's army?"

When he said this, Dong Zhuo's eyes were no longer as humble as before.

In the past, Dong Zhuo was indeed a little afraid of Li Zhi.

He was afraid of the forces and army under Li Zhi's command, and he was even more afraid of Li Zhi's unpredictable thoughts and strategies.

Now, after Dong Zhuo exposed Li Zhi, he immediately regained his confidence in Xiliang when he was in Xiliang!

Dong Zhuo now feels that Li Zhi’s methods are indeed very powerful.

However, once it is exposed, there is nothing to be afraid of.

It's like a juggling person. Once someone blows his stage, he can't continue acting anymore.

It was precisely because Xu Rong, who was under his command, exposed Li Zhi, that Dong Zhuo thought that Li Zhi was no big deal!

He is just smarter than ordinary people, and it is not impossible to deal with it!

Just like this time, although Li Zhi hid in his army for a long time, wasn’t he still exposed in the end?

Since that's the case, it proves that Li Zhi is not impeccable. As long as he seizes the opportunity, he will definitely be able to defeat him!

With this mentality, when Dong Zhuo faced Li Zhizhi, he no longer had the same fear and confidence as before!

"Sure!" After seeing the confidence in Dong Zhuo's eyes, Li Zhi smiled in his heart and said, "Surely"!

There are three reasons why he asked Xu Rong to expose his identity.

The first is to restore Dong Zhuo’s previous confidence.

After this time when the princes attacked Dong, Dong Zhuo was hit so hard that he almost lost confidence.

Li Zhi didn't want him to do this. He still had many things he had not arranged, and he didn't want Dong Zhuo to decline so quickly, so he used himself to enhance Dong Zhuo's confidence.

The second is to make Dong Zhuo feel that he has fully controlled the situation.

After Dong Zhuo exposed Li Zhi's identity, he would definitely feel that he had disrupted Li Zhi's plan, and Li Zhi was also surrounded by his army, and he now has the upper hand!

In this way, Dong Zhuo would subconsciously think in his heart that he had completely controlled the situation.

In this way, when Dong Zhuo faced Li Zhi, he would not be thinking about being murdered and guessed: "Is this Li Zhi going to plot against me again?"

Instead, like a normal leader of a force, he thought: "What can I get? What do I need to pay? Can I take advantage of this transaction?"

If Li Zhi wants to plot against Dong Zhuo, he needs Dong Zhuo not to be crazy about being murdered.

Otherwise, even if Li Zhi had a huge intelligence, it would be difficult to calculate a conspiracy theorist!

Because conspiracy theorists often think about things at the worst, maybe others just don’t say a word in their hearts, and they will over-interpret it!

Who can plan such a person?!

The third reason why Li Zhi asked Dong Zhuo to expose himself was to let Dong Zhuo plot on himself!

That’s right! You read it right, and I’m not wrong. Li Zhi just wanted Dong Zhuo to plot against him!

The reason why Li Zhi did this was to involve Dong Zhuo's energy so that Dong Zhuo could not develop his own power with peace of mind.

After Dong Zhuo exposed Li Zhi, he would definitely feel that Li Zhi was not invincible!

There is a saying in later generations that goes: "If God bleeds, he will no longer be God!"

Through this incident, Dong Zhuo must feel that Li Zhi has flaws and can defeat him!

Since entering Beijing, Dong Zhuo has been suppressed by Li Zhi everywhere. He must have hated Li Zhi very much!

So, once he has the chance to attack Li Zhi, he will never let it go!

If you want to deal with Li Zhi, it will involve most of Dong Zhuo's power's energy, making him unable to develop with peace of mind.

Because Dong Zhuo's think tank is Li Ru, and if you want to plot against Li Zhi, only Li Ru will have the possibility of winning if he comes on stage in person.

In this way, Li Ru had no energy to manage Dong Zhuo's power anymore.

This is exactly what Li Zhi wants!

Dong Zhuo's foundation is too strong. If he really wants to develop for a few years, he may be another force that can fight the world alone!

Because of this, Li Zhi has to involve Dong Zhuo's energy, so that Dong Zhuo has no intention to develop!

Not only that, Li Zhi also wanted to take this opportunity to clear out the spies inside him.

If Dong Zhuo wants to deal with Li Zhi, he will definitely activate the spy lurking inside Li Zhi.

Otherwise, how would Dong Zhuo, who is far away in Chang'an, deal with Li Zhi who lives in Luoyang?

Once Dong Zhuo launches the spy, clues will inevitably be left behind.

At that time, Li Zhi can clear these spies!

It is precisely because of the above three reasons that Li Zhi spread the news and let Xu Rong expose his identity.
