Lu Dynasty

Chapter 181 The Battle of Dong Ding
Ding Yuan took Lu Bu to Dong Zhuo's banquet, and he and Lu Bu rushed back after a while.Ding Yuan yelled at me: "Baxian! Dong Zhuo wants to abolish Emperor Shao and replace him with King Chenliu, join forces with me and fight against Dong Zhuo together!"

I laughed and said, "Uncle Ding has since gone to prepare the army for war. I have already ordered Gao Shun to bring Hao Meng and Cheng Lian to the north of Luoyang City to assemble the whole army before Uncle Ding and Feng Xian went to the banquet! I want Dong Zhuo to come to Luoyang It's been so long, it's time to take some action. As the saying goes, there is no good banquet, and there is no good meeting. However, what I didn't expect was that he would be so fierce at the first blow, and he would directly abolish the emperor!" Actually, how could I Didn't expect it?It is clearly recorded in the history books, but I can't tell Ding Yuan, I knew that Dong Zhuo would abolish the emperor, and he would treat guests to drink before the abolition of the emperor.

Ding Yuan was anxious, wondering if he could stop Dong Zhuo, so he didn't think about why I would prepare for the battle in advance.Ding Yuan said: "Then let's gather at the north gate of Luoyang and discuss Dong together!" After speaking, Ding Yuan was about to leave.

I said, "Uncle Ding, wait a minute! Let Fengxian go with you! You only have generals such as Hou Cheng and Li Feng, and they are really not Dong Zhuo's opponents. Hua Xiong under Dong Zhuo's command cannot be resisted by Fengxian, Zilong, and Junming. Now Zilong's whereabouts are unknown, and Jun Ming never listens to other people's orders, so I can only ask Feng Xian to protect Uncle Ding!" Ding Yuan nodded to me, and left with Lu Bu.

After a while, Ding Yuan brought his troops to join me.Taking advantage of Ding Yuan's inattention, Lu Bu said to me, "Brother! Hou Cheng and his troops are dead, so I don't want to take them with you! How about you ask Gao Shun to help him?" Soldiers, Ding Yuan thought he was an elite subordinate, were really not in Lu Bu's eyes.As far as emergency assembly is concerned, my troops can assemble the whole army in a cup of tea (about 10 minutes) at most.However, Ding Yuan's subordinate actually spent an entire hour (two hours), so Ding Yuan was complacent and thought that Lu Bu was frightened by the elite level of his subordinates.In fact, Lu Bu was really scared, because he was scared by the garbage level of Ding Yuan's troops.

Seeing that I was waiting for him, Ding Yuan smiled and said: "The old man is a little slow, so don't blame Baxian!" After speaking, Ding Yuan glanced at my troops and said in shock: "This...does Baxian's subordinates all Are you so elite?” As the saying goes: People are more deadly than others, and people are more expensive than goods.This is what Ding Yuan feels now.The elite in his own heart, placed under my command, is not as good as recruits who have not received systematic training, let alone my elite wolf cavalry and trapped camps. These troops have followed me since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, five or six years.

I turned around and glanced at the troops behind me and said with a smile: "Of course not. If all my subordinates are so fierce, sweeping the world is just around the corner. Some of these people have followed me since I was 12 years old. Some of the three hundred house slaves were recruited during the Yellow Turban War, so they are so elite."

Ding Yuan looked enviously at the troops behind me.This is inevitable. The ancient armies recruited random people, and then sent out random weapons to go into battle.Even if it is an elite army, it is not just an army composed of veterans who have fought a few battles and survived by luck.Then there are specially selected special units, such as the euphorbia soldiers with open jaws, Ju Yi's first boarding camp, Gongsun Zan's white horse Yicong and Liu Bei's white-eared elite soldiers.Sun Tzu said: It is as swift as the wind, as slow as the forest, as plundering as fire, as immovable as a mountain, as moving as thunder.Now my troops, at least account for the three words of wind, forest, and mountain, fire and thunder, and they can be seen when fighting.

Ding Yuan rode his horse to the north gate of Luoyang City, and yelled at Dong Zhuo who was on the tower: "Dong Zhuo! You have changed the imperial decree without authorization, trying to do something wrong! You want to abolish the emperor! Who do you think you are? Yi Yin, Huo Guang? ? They all died badly! I think you, Dong Zhuo, are Wang Mang!"

Dong Zhuo was notified by his subordinates as early as when I was standing outside the city with all the troops.When he went up to the tower, he happened to see Ding Yuan leading the troops to join me, so he knew it immediately.As the saying goes: People are old and ghosts are old.Dong Zhuo, an old ghost, has gone through so many things. If he still can't see through that I have another purpose, then I can only say that he is hopeless.

Dong Zhuo stood on the tower and shouted: "Ding Jianyang! You have invaded Luoyang, which is like a rebellion! What matters in the court cannot be discussed, and you must meet with soldiers! In this important place in the capital, if you lead troops here, if you disturb When it comes to Shengjia, you, Ding Yuan, will never die!"

Ding Yuan laughed loudly and said, "You, Dong Zhuo, still have the face to speak of Your Majesty? If I don't lead the troops to serve the king, you will commit a crime! Bold Dong Zhuo, you are good at discussing abolition and establishment, and you don't follow the way of being a minister, how dare you I’m not ashamed to say anything here!”

"I have His Majesty Ling Emperor's will! Then He Jinli, the prince, is rebellious! I just obeyed the order of the late emperor, why did I make a mistake? You, Ding Yuan, who fought in Luoyang indiscriminately, are the traitors and traitors. Everyone has to punish him! Left and right! Who will take down this traitor with me!"

Ding Yuan snorted coldly and said: "Big words! Just relying on a piece of imperial decree that doesn't even have a jade seal, you want to convince the world. You Dong Zhuo are too naive! You still want to take me down? Ask the soldiers behind me if they agree !"

"What's going on?" I quietly asked Lu Bu.

Lu Bu said: "Dong Zhuo took out the edict of Emperor Ling, saying that he wanted to abolish Liu Bian and establish Liu Xie as emperor, and that it was the edict of Emperor Ling. All the ministers asked to verify the authenticity of the edict, but one minister ate the edict. When Dong Zhuo grabs it again, only the written part of the edict will remain."

Dong Zhuo was really not ordinary stupid, such an important thing was passed on to someone who didn't know if he was loyal to Emperor Ling.Doesn't he know how to hold it in his hand for others to see?As a result, those who were reasonable became rebels, and those who made troubles without reason became loyal people.

The north gate opened, and a general rushed out from the gate, shouting: "Dong Shishi's cavalry captain Li Yu is here, and Ding Yuan's dog thief will die!"

"Hou Cheng!" Ding Yuan called out.Hou Cheng stepped forward and killed Li Yu with a knife.Ding Yuan looked proudly at Dong Zhuo on the tower and said, "I say Dong Zhuo! How dare you come to Luoyang to make a fool of yourself when you have such trash under your command? If I were you, I would have covered my face and gone back to Xiliang to hide. !"

"Hua Xiong!" Dong Zhuo's eyes were burning with anger, and he ordered Hua Xiong to fight.Hou Cheng didn't know Hua Xiong's bravery, but Ding Yuan only saw Hua Xiong fighting against Yan Liang.In Ding Yuan's eyes, there is no such thing as a strong general in the hands of a child from a family like Yuan Shao.So Ding Yuan and Hou Cheng, who had just lost a general, had no intention of changing generals. They had long since ignored what I said about Hua Xiong's bravery.

I said to Lu Bu: "When you go up later, save Hua Xiong's life, and don't hurt him too badly!" Lu Bu nodded, expressing his understanding.

Hou Cheng and Hua Xiong regretted not retreating as soon as they fought.With Hua Xiong's one strike, Hou Cheng's arms went numb, and the second strike sent Hou Cheng's weapon flying.Shocked, Hou Cheng hugged the horse's neck and ran back.Hua Xiong chased after Hou Cheng closely, and when Hua Xiong was about to kill Hou Cheng off his horse.Under my signal, Lu Bu took out his painting bow and shot an arrow at Hua Xiong's broadsword.Hua Xiong gave a complete meal, and Hou Cheng took the opportunity to run away!
