Double penetration: This Three Kingdoms has dragon energy

Chapter 109: While the plan is underway, Ding Yuan eliminates Lu Bu!
As early as a month ago, when Dong Zhuo and Ding Yuan both entered the capital, Ji Qiu had anticipated this scene.

I just don't know when this will happen.

So he asked Jia Xu to keep an eye on Dong Zhuo and Jia Xu's every move in order to obtain evidence of their collusion.

As long as he gets this evidence, Ji Qiu can go to Ding Yuan and expose the matter.

Then Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo would completely fall out, and Luoyang City would be plunged into a protracted struggle.

This is the most advantageous choice for Ji Qiu!

"So, without further ado, let's go see Ding Yuan now!"

Ji Qiu chuckled, then opened the space-time gate and headed to the Bingzhou Army base in Luoyang City.

……

Luoyang West City Camp.

As dusk was drawing to a close, the blast of a horn tore through the blue-gray sky.

The base of 60,000 Bingzhou Wolf Riders is like a giant beast made of steel, crawling here.

In the camp with a radius of ten miles, the neighing of iron horses and the friction of leather armor intertwined into a majestic war song.

The sentries on the watchtower stood straight, holding black iron spears, their eyes sharp as torches, scanning the surroundings vigilantly. Every shift change was like the meshing of precisely running gears, without any error.

There are actually six large military camps in Luoyang City.

In addition to the two palace camps in the north and south inside the imperial palace, there are four more camps in the east, south, west and north of the outer city.

Each of these six camps can accommodate a hundred thousand troops.

Therefore, the peak number of troops stationed in Luoyang City was actually 600,000!

During the period of Han court's strength, these 600,000 troops were the central army of Han court, enough to suppress the world.

However, as the Han Dynasty's power declined, it became difficult to support such a large army, and the camps in the four cities in the southeast, northwest, northeast and southwest were gradually closed.

Only the northern and southern military camps in the palace were still in operation.

However, after Dong Zhuo and Ding Yuan entered the city, they had to find a place to garrison troops, so the court reopened the camps in these four cities.

The East City Camp was given to Dong Zhuo to station the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, and the West City Camp was given to Ding Yuan to station the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry.

The reason for this arrangement is that the situation of the four-city camp is similar to the layout of Luoyang City.

The east is rich, the west is wealthy, the south is poor, and the north is humble!

The East City Camp is the best maintained, followed by the West City Camp, the South City Camp, and the North City Camp is the worst!
The barracks of the commander-in-chief of the West City Camp.

Ding Yuan, dressed in military uniform, leaned over the desk, handling military affairs.

He also came from a poor family and was originally a small county official in Nan County.

Later, due to the turbulent situation, civil unrest often occurred.

He charged forward fearlessly regardless of life or death, and made many military achievements in the process of quelling civil unrest, so he was gradually promoted and reused.

In March of the fifth year of Zhongping, Zhang Yi, the then governor of Bingzhou, was killed by the invading Xiutuhu people. Ding Yuan was ordered to take over as the governor of Bingzhou and be responsible for guarding Bingzhou.

Soon after, he was appointed as the Cavalry Commander and stationed troops in Henei County.

At this time, Lü Bu, a native of Jiuyuan County, Wuyuan Commandery, Bingzhou, was well-known in his hometown for his martial prowess.

After hearing this, Ding Yuan went to recruit Lü Bu, adopted him as his son, and appointed him as the chief clerk. He was very close to him.

Zhang Liao, a native of Mayi, Yanmen, Bingzhou, and Zhang Yang, a native of Yunzhong County, Bingzhou, were also known for their bravery, so they were recruited by Ding Yuan to serve as officials.

Ding Yuan appointed Zhang Liao as his assistant and Zhang Yang as his military assistant, to assist him in handling military affairs together with Lu Bu and others.

Relying on the strength of three generals, Ding Yuan gradually stabilized the situation in Bingzhou. Although he could not completely drive the Hu people out of Bingzhou, he also controlled the Yunzhong Wuyuan area and prevented them from moving further south.

Later, Emperor Ling established the Xiyuan Beijun, appointed Jian Shuo as the captain of the upper army, and recruited brave warriors from all over the world to strengthen the strength of the imperial guards.

Ding Yuan then sent his generals Zhang Yang and Zhang Liao to lead the army to the capital to serve in the general's office.

"Envoy Ding is in such a refined mood, still in the mood to deal with these trivial matters. Doesn't he know that his death is near?"

A long voice suddenly appeared in the barracks, interrupting Ding Yuan's thoughts.

He suddenly looked up and saw a young man standing not far in front of him, wearing the green robe of a scholar of the Embroidered Guard, but his face could not be seen clearly.

"Huh? Who are you and why are you here?!" Ding Yuan was shocked, but he forced himself to hold it back and asked without changing his expression.

He knew that his military camp was well guarded.

And this barracks of his is the most strictly guarded place in his military camp.

Outside the barracks, Bingzhou Wolf Riders were patrolling non-stop day and night.

Not to mention a person suddenly coming in, even a mouse would not be able to sneak in.

But the man in front of him suddenly appeared in front of him without alerting any guards outside the barracks.

That must be amazing ability.

What's more, this person was wearing the green robe of a scholar of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, which made him even more afraid to be disrespectful.

Everyone in Luoyang City knows that Wang Yue, the commander-in-chief of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, is the closest person to the emperor.

This man not only enjoyed the trust of Emperor Liu Bian, but was also extremely powerful. It was said that he once killed 2,700 strong soldiers with one sword in Zhaoyang Palace.

Even the arrogant Dong Zhuo did not dare to look down on Wang Yue. Every time they met, he showed great respect to him.

And could this person in front of me be Wang Yue's subordinate?

Ji Qiu looked at Ding Yuan's expression of suppressed shock and couldn't help but smile in his heart.

This is why he insisted on delivering this evidence in person.

This evidence alone might make Ding Yuan believe that Lu Bu was preparing to harm him, but it was not enough to push things in the direction Ji Qiu hoped.

He wanted to guide the situation in Luoyang City in the direction he wanted.

We must take the initiative to intimidate Ding Yuan.

Then Ji Qiu must take action personally!

Of course, while trying to intimidate Ding Yuan, he couldn't reveal any information about himself and couldn't let Ding Yuan know his identity.

So he decided to cover up his appearance.

This was not easy to do because he did not have the relevant ability.

You can't just get a piece of black cloth and cover your face.

That's too low-class.

But fortunately, he obtained many secret techniques from Qianjin Hall.

Among the strange secret techniques of Qianjintang, there is a hazy secret technique that can conceal one's appearance.

Ji Qiu practiced all night long. Although he was only at the elementary ninth level at the moment, it was enough.

"Don't be surprised, my lord. I am Shi A, a green-robed scholar from the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

The reason I came here secretly is because I have confidential information and I must inform the envoy immediately!" Ji Qiu chuckled.

Ding Yuan was shocked again. The person in front of him was actually Shi A?
He naturally knew who Shi A was. He was Wang Yue's direct disciple and the person Wang Yue trusted the most. He was a big shot in the Embroidered Uniform Guard, whose status was second only to Wang Yue.

However, he did not completely believe Ji Qiu's words, because Ji Qiu was hiding his identity and it was impossible to confirm it.

But at this time there is no need to confirm Ji Qiu's identity, because even if he is not Shi A, he must be some other extraordinary person.

Have the qualifications to have an equal dialogue with him.

And since he has the qualifications, he is also interested in taking a look at the important information that Ji Qiu mentioned.

"I don't know how important the information is that requires Lord Shi to go there in person!" Ding Yuan asked.

Ji Qiu smiled and said, "Of course this is information that is vital to Envoy Ding's life and death!

"My Lord, do you know that Dong Zhuo has secretly bribed Lü Bu and wants him to rebel and kill you?"

"What?" Ding Yuan was shocked, but then he flatly denied it. "That's impossible. Lü Bu is my adopted son and we are very close. How could he betray and kill me?"

It is no wonder that Ding Yuan did not believe this. According to the social atmosphere of the Eastern Han Dynasty at that time, it was impossible for Lu Bu to rebel and kill him.

Lu Bu was a retainer he recruited personally and also his adopted son.

It was he who personally recommended Lu Bu to the court, allowing Lu Bu to obtain an official position in the court.

Compared with Zhang Yang and Zhang Liao, he can really be said to have done his best for Lu Bu.

Lu Bu was not only his retainer, but also his disciple and his son.

The triple bond tightly connects the two people together. According to common sense, no matter who Lu Bu betrays, he will never betray Ding Yuan.

Because this completely betrayed the social atmosphere and conventional ideas of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

If Lu Bu dared to do this, he would be condemned by thousands of people and would be killed immediately.

How dare he do this?

Ji Qiu chuckled, took out his tablet, opened the video, and handed it over, saying, "I know it's hard for the envoy to believe this, so I brought the evidence with me.

Now the evidence is here, please take a look!"

Ding Yuan took the tablet and looked at the video on it, his whole body began to tremble.

Even though there was no sound in this video, Ding Yuan could easily infer what Li Su and Lu Bu were talking about from their expressions and lip movements.

The conversation content obtained in this way is actually much more reliable than hearing the sound directly.

Because voice can be faked.

Of course, the images can also be faked.

It's just much more difficult than simply faking the sound.

Ding Yuan slowly put down the tablet computer. He did not express much surprise at this modern technological product that he had never seen before.

There are countless dragon weapons in the world of Dragon Qi Three Kingdoms, and no one can master the effects of all dragon weapons.

So Ding Yuan directly regarded this tablet computer as a dragon weapon that had never been seen before.

"Even with such a real scene, I still find it hard to believe that Fengxian would betray me!" Ding Yuan said in a deep voice.

Ji Qiu nodded and said, "I understand. Although videos are real, they can also be forged. It's normal for you not to believe it.

However, I came here today not to use this video to convince you to believe me, but just to use this video to remind you.

After all, the safety of the world is now at stake for the envoy. If Lu Bu really succeeds, it will be an immeasurable loss to the commander-in-chief, the emperor, and the Han Dynasty.

Therefore, I have said all I can say here, and you can handle the rest of the matter on your own!"

Ji Qiu didn't stop talking after he finished speaking. He turned around and disappeared into the barracks right under Ding Yuan's gaze. Ding Yuan just stared at the place where Ji Qiu disappeared and fell into a long silence.

About half an hour later, he finally said, "Someone come!"

"Greetings, Captain!" Two personal guards walked in from outside the barracks and bowed before Ding Yuan.

Ding Yuan said in a deep voice, "Go and call Zhang Liao and Zhang Yang to see me!"

After repeated consideration, he still felt that Ji Qiu was right.

Don't be careless.

He could not believe Ji Qiu's words, but he could not ignore this matter.

Because if Lu Bu really betrayed him, the consequences would be very serious for him.

Lu Bu was his chief clerk and also his adopted son. Over the past year, he had mainly relied on Lu Bu to deal with the Hu people on the grassland.

Therefore, Lu Bu had a very high prestige in his army, and he could even bypass him and directly command the generals in the army.

In the past, Ding Yuan trusted Lu Bu, so he didn't care about these things.

But now that he doubted Lu Bu's loyalty, he couldn't help but feel frightened when he thought about these things.

If Lu Bu really had rebellious intentions, he could just kill him directly and then take over his army very smoothly.

Therefore, this matter cannot be ignored and must be investigated thoroughly.

As for how to investigate, Ding Yuan decided to take a straightforward approach.

Just call Lu Bu over and ask him.

Ding Yuan still understood Lu Bu. He knew that although Lu Bu was brave, he did not have much wisdom.

Even worse at hiding emotions.

As long as he suddenly asked about this matter when Lu Bu was not prepared, Lu Bu would be caught off guard and would inevitably reveal the truth.

Of course, since we are going to investigate this matter in this way, we must first prepare for the worst.

To prevent Lu Bu from doing something desperate.

He had to make arrangements in advance.

This was originally somewhat difficult, because Lu Bu had a high prestige in his army, and almost every unit under his command was deeply influenced by Lu Bu.

This made it difficult for Ding Yuan to find troops to deal with Lu Bu.

But fortunately, this is Luoyang City.

And he happened to have two troops in Luoyang City that had nothing to do with Lu Bu.

They were the troops of Zhang Yang and Zhang Liao, who had been sent by him to the General's Mansion in Luoyang City to assist General He Jin.

These two troops did not participate in the conflict between General He Jin and the Ten Attendants, but remained neutral.

Then after Ding Yuan entered Beijing, he returned to Ding Yuan's camp.

In fact, the period of rapid expansion of Lu Bu's power under Ding Yuan began after Zhang Yang and Zhang Liao left.

Before Zhang Yang and Zhang Liao left Ding Yuan, the three of them were checking and balancing each other, forming a three-way balance of power.

Therefore, if we want to deal with Lu Bu now, it would be most appropriate to rely on Zhang Yang and Zhang Liao.

Soon, Zhang Yang and Zhang Liao arrived at Ding Yuan's barracks.

Ding Yuan informed the two of Lü Bu's affairs, and they immediately knelt on one knee and said, "Please rest assured, my lord. If Lü Bu ever harbors rebellious intentions, we will certainly eliminate this villain!"

For Zhang Yang and Zhang Liao, they not only did not have any psychological burden about suppressing Lu Bu, but they were secretly looking forward to it.

At the beginning, they were under Ding Yuan's command, and were the other two people who checked and balanced Lu Bu.

The relationship between them is not to say that they hate each other to the core, but that they are disgusted with each other!
More importantly, these two poor guys must suppress Lu Bu at this time to get back their own interests.

Actually, Ding Yuan was really nice to all the generals under his command.

There was no bad intention when Zhang Yang and Zhang Liao were sent to the General's Mansion in Luoyang City.

Instead, he thought this was a good opportunity for Zhang Yang and Zhang Liao to rise to prominence.

As for not choosing Lu Bu.

Firstly, Lu Bu's personality is not as calm as Zhang Yang and Zhang Liao, so he is not suitable for a place like Luoyang City.

Secondly, Ding Yuan also wanted to keep a general under his command to deal with the Hu people on the grassland.

According to Ding Yuan's original plan, he would let Lu Bu take over his power after he left Bingzhou.

In this way, the three generals under his command all have a bright future.

However, no one expected that when Zhang Yang and Zhang Liao arrived in Luoyang City, Liu Hong was suppressing He Jin most brutally.

As officials under the General's Mansion, they were naturally suppressed as well.

Not only were they suppressed by Emperor Ling, they were also not trusted in the General's Mansion and were ostracized by He Jin's followers.

After all, He Jin had no previous relationship with them.

He Jin's followers were basically from Luoyang.

It is normal for people in Luoyang to look down on people from border counties.

Therefore, Zhang Yang and Zhang Liao were in a state of misery in Luoyang City, where they were neither here nor there.

This is why they later remained neutral in the struggle between He Jin and the Ten Attendants, and immediately returned to Ding Yuan's camp after Ding Yuan entered the city.

After suffering discrimination in Luoyang City for a year, the two of them really missed the warm embrace of their old lord.

But after they returned to the warm embrace of their old lord, they discovered that the world under his command had been completely dominated by the villain Lu Bu.

There is no place for them at all!

At this moment, let alone continuing to stand on three fronts with Lu Bu, even if two of them joined forces, they would probably be defeated by Lu Bu with one hand!
This is how to do?
It’s naturally served cold!
So the two of them obediently acted like grandsons under Ding Yuan's command and were humble in front of Lu Bu.

Although it doesn't feel very good, overall, it is much better than the situation in Luoyang City.

I thought this would be the norm from now on.

But unexpectedly, in a sudden turn of events, Lu Bu, the man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, actually had the idea of ​​betraying his old lord.

For a moment, Zhang Yang and Zhang Liao's eyes were filled with tears.

God is really watching over us!
We know that loyal ministers and capable generals like us will never be left idle.

A traitor like Lu Bu will not last long.

We must assist our old lord, eliminate the evildoers, and restore peace!
"Very good, with the help of Uncle Zhi and Wenyuan, great things can be accomplished!

However, we cannot let a bad guy go, but we also cannot wrongly accuse a good person.

After all, Lu Bu is a general under my command and my adopted son, so we must not wrongly accuse him.

Therefore, you must not act rashly until you are sure that he really has the intention to harm me.

Everything must wait for my order!" Ding Yuan continued to instruct.

After all, he still didn't believe that Lu Bu would really betray him, and summoning Zhang Yang and Zhang Liao was just a safety measure.

Zhang Yang and Zhang Liao looked at each other, their eyes filled with helplessness, but also a little relief.

Ding Yuan was helpless because of his love for his generals. Even though Lu Bu was suspected of treason, he was unwilling to take action until the last moment.

But it was precisely because of Ding Yuan's love for his generals that he gained their loyalty.

Do you really think that anyone who goes to Bingzhou can recruit Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, Zhang Yang and others as his subordinates and use them for his own purposes?

Ding Yuan was able to do this because of his personal charm!
Zhang Yang and Zhang Liao said in unison, "Please rest assured, my lord. We will obey your orders!"

So Ding Yuan asked Zhang Yang and Zhang Liao, each with 500 personal guards, to ambush on both sides of the barracks.

Then he ordered his personal guards to summon Lu Bu.

Not long after, Lu Bu arrived outside Ding Yuan's barracks.

He was born with an imposing and majestic appearance.

He wore a golden crown on his head, a battle robe with flowers, Tang Ni armor, a lion belt, a Fang Tian painted halberd in his hand, and rode a blood-red horse.

Ding Yuan looked out from the barracks and saw the Red Hare under Lu Bu's crotch, and his heart sank immediately.

Because this horse is exactly the BMW that Li Su gave to Lu Bu in the video that Ji Qiu showed him!
Lu Bu actually had this horse, so his betrayal was almost certain!

Ding Yuan felt a sharp pain in his heart, but he still forced himself to control his emotions and met with Lu Bu, wanting to give him one last chance.

"Youth pays homage to adoptive father!" When Lu Bu walked into the barracks and saw Ding Yuan, he immediately prostrated himself on the ground and said with a salute.

Ding Yuan waved his hand silently and said, "Please stand up, my son. No need to be so polite."

"I wonder what important matter has my adoptive father called me here for?" Lu Bu stood up and asked.

Ding Yuan stared at Lü Bu and said, "I have heard that Dong Zhuo bribed you with a large sum of money and a horse to betray me. Is this true?"

"What? How could this be possible? Who is this villain who slandered me in front of my adoptive father and alienated the blood relationship between me and my adoptive father? I will skin him alive and grind his bones into ashes!" Lu Bu's expression changed drastically when he heard this, and he roared angrily.

I have to say that Lu Bu does have some acting skills. If someone didn't know him well, they might really be fooled by his performance.

Who was Dante originally?
He was Lu Bu's first adoptive father, who personally recruited Lu Bu as his family general and watched Lu Bu grow step by step to where he is today!
It can be said that no one in this world knows Lu Bu better than him.

Historically, he was betrayed and killed by Lu Bu simply because he trusted Lu Bu too much and did not think of this at all.

But now he has become wary of Lu Bu, so any change in Lu Bu will not escape his eyes!

Therefore, although Lu Bu's anger was very real, Ding Yuan could still see the panic deep in his heart from his angry appearance.

This made him even more disappointed.

In fact, when he saw Lu Bu riding the Red Hare just now, he had basically confirmed the fact that Lu Bu had betrayed him.

But Lu Bu was his adopted son and beloved general after all. Even if the evidence of his guilt was conclusive, he still wanted to give him another chance.

So he secretly said to himself that as long as Lu Bu could be honest when he questioned him, admit his mistakes to him sincerely, and say that he was just confused for a moment and was deceived by a villain, then he would not be unable to forgive Lu Bu.

But Lu Bu's reaction now proved that he had no regrets at all, only panic and helplessness of having his thoughts seen through.

"This boy really can't be kept!"

Ding Yuan sighed in his heart. He was heartbroken at this moment, but he could only force himself to send the signal to Zhang Yang and Zhang Liao to take action.

However, Zhang Yang and Zhang Liao were ecstatic when they received Ding Yuan's signal. They were really afraid that Ding Yuan would have a moment of mercy and let Lu Bu go.

So, upon receiving Ding Yuan's signal, the two men immediately rushed in with their troops. Zhang Liao pointed at Lü Bu and angrily cursed, "Lü Bu, you ungrateful bastard! The lord has shown you great kindness, yet you dare betray him? Today, I will eliminate you, my lord!"
