Lu Bu, God of War of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 111 Ding Yuan's Determination

Chapter 110

Just when Yuan Shao and Xu You quietly went out, torches were lit not far from the house, and teams of Xiliang soldiers rushed towards Yuan Shao's mansion with torches in their hands.

As soon as these Xiliang soldiers rushed over, without saying a word, they directly smashed the gate of Yuan Shao's mansion, arresting anyone they saw.

Seeing this scene, Yuan Shao and Xu You were shocked.

"The speed of these many tables is so fast. We just left the door and the Xiliang soldiers rushed over." Xu You couldn't help being amazed when he saw the Xiliang soldiers react so quickly.

"Sir, stop praising Xiliang soldiers. Let's leave quickly. If we delay, we won't be able to leave Luoyang City." Seeing Xiliang soldiers so fast, Yuan Shao was obviously worried and wanted to leave Luoyang immediately.

"Haha, my lord, do you think you and I can still leave the city gate now?" After hearing Yuan Shao's words, Xu You made a fool of himself. People, why don't we deploy people at the gate of the city, if my lord and I appear at the gate of the city at this time, we will definitely be caught by Xiliang soldiers."

"What? How can I do this? Is it possible that I, Yuan Shao, want to be captured like this?" Hearing what Xu You said, Yuan Shao was startled and his face changed abruptly, but he couldn't help being a little surprised when he saw Xu You's relaxed expression. "Since the situation is so critical, how can you be so calm, sir? Does sir have a plan to get out of trouble?"

"Hahaha, is there any way to get out of trouble, I just want to rely on the majesty of the lord to escape from Luoyang." This Xu You speaks very skillfully, and he didn't forget to pat Yuan Shao's horse at this time. "Although the city gates of Luoyang are now guarded by Xiliang soldiers, there are also many Northern Army soldiers stationed on the city walls. The Lord has served in the Northern Army for many years, so there must be many old acquaintances who are close friends. The Lord just needs to find They quietly let us down from the city wall while it was dark, and my lord and I escaped naturally and ascended to heaven."

It turned out that since Dong Zhuo took control of Luoyang, he had replaced all the guards at the city gate with soldiers from Xiliang.Originally, according to Dong Zhuo's intention, the soldiers guarding the city were to use Xiliang soldiers, but Luoyang City is too big, Dong Zhuo needs to use Xiliang soldiers in many places, so in some unimportant places, only Xiliang soldiers can be used. Let the northern army guard, anyway, the northern army is now Dong Zhuo's soldiers.

"Well, that's right. When you say that, I think of someone. Let's go, go to the northern city wall." Yuan Shao thought of none other than Zhang Liao, a man with no backer and low official position in the Northern Army.

Zhang Liao was born in Yanmen, and he saw the barbarism of the Hu people when he was a child, and he was used to seeing the displaced people of the big man.After growing up, Zhang Liao aspired to become a famous general, slaughter the Tartars, and restore the glory of the Han family, so he traveled thousands of miles to Luoyang and joined the Northern Army, which was known as the most elite Han.Unexpectedly, the water in the northern army is very deep, the general officers either have a big background, or come from a famous family, Zhang Liao has no backing background, so he can only be a junior officer in the northern army.But despite this, Zhang Liao was resourceful, brave and good at fighting, but he was also appreciated by many people.During this period, Yuan Shao wanted to win over Zhang Liao, but Zhang Liao remained unmoved and devoted himself to serving the country, but he had no intention of forming a clique.

Although Yuan Shao did not win over Zhang Liao, he had a better understanding of Zhang Liao's character.So at this life-threatening moment, the first thing Yuan Shao thought of was not those friends and brothers who used to drink and exchange glasses, but this Zhang Liao who was different and had no status.

Yuan Shao brought Xu You to the north city wall, and saw a calm-faced general on duty, who else could it be if it wasn't Zhang Liao?
"Brother Zhang Liao, I haven't seen you for a long time, but my brother still has the same demeanor, but I have become a street mouse that everyone shouts and beats me." Seeing Zhang Liao, Yuan Shao was the first to go up to him and shouted "Brother". In fact, Yuan Shao is older than Zhang Liao. Many, but now he came to beg for help, Yuan Shao had to lower his social status, cupped a fist at Zhang Liao, and then made a joke out of self-mocking.

"En? It turned out to be Master Yuan Shao. Zhang Liao felt ashamed to be flattered by His Excellency. I have already heard about Master Yuan Shao's deeds. Your Excellency must have come to see me to leave the city. If you don't mind, you can replace us first." The clothes of the soldiers of the Northern Army, wait until it gets dark, and then I will arrange for the adults to leave the city." Seeing Yuan Shao in front of him, Zhang Liao was startled at first, and then came back to his senses. Zhang Liao had already heard about the quarrel between Yuan Shao and Dong Zhuo. Naturally, he also understood the meaning of Yuan Shao's coming to find him, so he didn't say much at the moment, and immediately arranged Yuan Shao and Xu You to mix with the Northern Army.Just wait until it gets dark, and send the two of them out of the city.

"In this way, I will be thankful for everything, brother. Yuan Shao will be rewarded for his great kindness in the future." Yuan Shao didn't say much, and immediately accepted Zhang Liao's arrangement.

At night, I saw a rope slowly let down on the north wall of Luoyang City, and at one end of the body, it was impressively helping two people, it was Yuan Shao and Xu You.It's just that at this moment, the two of them have changed into the clothes of the Northern Army, and they still look like dignitaries.

"This Zhang Liao is not bad, he didn't disappoint me, but we don't have any horses, so it will be a lot slower to leave Luoyang, we can't go to Jizhou on foot, right?" Now, although he escaped from danger, walking has become a problem.

"My lord, why did you forget, isn't there Ding Yuan outside this city? We asked him to borrow a few horses. I think there will be no problem." Xu You smiled, but it was exactly what Yuan Shao was thinking.

So, the two rushed towards Ding Yuan's barracks step by step.

At this time, Ding Yuan in Ding Yuan's army is also discussing countermeasures with everyone.

"Dong Zhuo is too arrogant. Our army must teach this person a lesson. If this person becomes popular, the Han Dynasty will not become his Dong Zhuo's world." Ding Yuan told the generals what happened today, and all the generals treated Dong Zhuo well. I am very angry.

"My lord, I heard that Dong Zhuo's 20 reinforcements from Liangzhou have arrived. Now the troops are divided into two groups and are attacking the surrounding cities of Luoyang and Chang'an. If your lord wants to take action, you must do so as soon as possible. If you are too late, you may be controlled by others." After hearing Ding Yuan's words, Gao Shun said with some worry.

As for the rest of the generals, you look at me, and I see that you don't have much confidence in this battle with Dong Zhuo.In the end, the generals looked around, and then turned their attention to Ding Yuan. After all, Ding Yuan was the commander of the Thirteenth Army, the one who decided the future direction of the three armies.

"Hmph, didn't the Han Dynasty have loyal ministers and good generals? As the saying goes, you can raise soldiers for a thousand days, and use them for a while. You are all soldiers of the Han Dynasty, and you are treated favorably by the Han Dynasty on weekdays. When it's time for you to contribute to the Han Dynasty , why one by one has become a shrinking turtle." Seeing that the generals were not active in the battle with Dong Zhuo, Ding Yuan was furious.

At this time Lu Bu took a look at Ding Yuan, and he had already understood Ding Yuan's determination to be buried for the Han Dynasty, so he stood up and took the lead in expressing his opinion.

"Lv Bu is willing to be the vanguard, and win over Dong Zhuo for his father."

As soon as Lu Bu said this, he and the generals no longer hesitated, and expressed their opinions one after another.The blood and courage of the soldiers are undoubtedly revealed at this time.

"Okay, let me tell you the truth. When I came to Luoyang this time, I saw the emperor being humiliated, and Dong Zhuo, a rebellious minister, arbitrarily proposed to abolish the establishment, and my heart felt like a knife. I, Ding Yuan, was kind to the late emperor, and I am willing to live and die with the great man in this life. Dong Zhuo fights, if I die in battle, then my son Lu Bu will lead the three armies. Ding Yuan will not ask you what to do at that time, but I just ask all the generals to fight with me, Ding Yuan, as a big man on the day of Ding Yuan's life. This life is enough for Ding Yuan." Apparently, the current Ding Yuan already knew the difficulties he would face in confronting Dong Zhuo, but Ding Yuan was determined to die, and wanted to make the last effort for the revival of the Han Dynasty. struggle.

"Father, I will follow my father to the death, and I will do whatever it takes." Lu Bu bowed down first, expressing his determination.

"I'm willing to follow the general through thick and thin." The generals were immediately moved by Ding Yuan, and their blood boiled with excitement.

So Ding Yuan formed an alliance with all the generals, gearing up one by one, preparing to fight against Dong Zhuo in the future.

Just as the generals were leaving, a soldier ran in and bowed down to Ding Yuan.

"My lord, two soldiers from the northern army came outside. They said they were the general's old friends and asked to see the general."

"En? Is it my old friend? Who is coming back to look for us at this time?" Ding Yuan's heart moved when he heard this, but he asked Lu Bu beside him.

"Come here at this time, it is very likely that they came from Luoyang City, maybe there is something important." Lu Bu thought that something might have happened in Luoyang, so he ordered someone from the future to bring them in.

After a while, under the leadership of a soldier, two people dressed as soldiers of the Northern Army were brought to Ding Yuan's tent. Who could these two be if they were not Yuan Shao and Xu You?
"Lord Ding Yuan, General Lu Bu, it is really presumptuous to visit late at night." Yuan Shao greeted Ding Yuan and Lu Bu first as soon as he came in.

"Why do you look like this? Could it be that something serious happened in Luoyang?" Seeing Yuan Shao and Xu You, Ding Yuan was startled and subconsciously guessed that something happened in Luoyang.

"Hey, it's a long story." Yuan Shao sighed and told what happened in Luoyang.

At this time, Ding Yuan and Lu Bu knew what happened in Luoyang.

"I wonder what General Yuan Shao is going to do next?" Lu Bu asked a crucial question after hearing Yuan Shao's story.

"I, Yuan Shao, are not talented, but I also know the rewards of eating the king and being loyal to the king. I have some land in Jizhou. After I return to Jizhou, I will spend all my family resources and recruit village braves. When the soldiers are strong and the horses are strong, we will definitely counterattack Luoyang, support the society, rebuild the rivers and mountains of the Han Dynasty, and reappear the prestige of the Han Dynasty." At this point, Yuan Shao's face was slightly flushed, obviously a little excited. "Inspector Ding is popular all over the world. If he can join me in a great cause, he will win the hearts of the world, kill the traitor Dong Zhuo, and save the emperor from peril." At the end, Dong Zhuo did not forget to seduce Ding Yuan.

"Hahaha, General Yuan really has great ambitions. It's just that if the general raises troops, his life will inevitably be ruined. I heard that that day, it was the general who offered advice to He Jin to welcome foreign troops into Beijing? Now the general wants to raise troops again. Understand, today's world Too many things, the general is too much." Yuan Shao originally thought that he had said such big words, even if Ding Yuan did not admire him, he would think that he was a person with ambition.But he didn't expect Ding Yuan to have such a big opinion on him.He also mentioned the embarrassing incident of Yuan Shao offering advice to Dong Zhuo that day, which really gave Yuan Shao a resounding slap in the face.

Yuan Shao's face turned red immediately, and he was full of resentment in his heart, and he felt a little bit more resentment towards Ding Yuan.Ding Yuan is such a kind of person, he has worked hard in the officialdom for decades, of course he has a clear understanding of Yuan Shao's careful thinking.
