A thousand-year-old family begins with one fighting against ten thousand.

Lu Bu's hand trembled as he took the paper. This was almost impossible for a military general, which showed how much his emotions were flustered.

Lu Bu took the intelligence report and read it word by word.

His eyes began to turn red, blood-red, blending seamlessly with Red Hare's fur, exactly the same.

"Is this true?!"

"This information comes from the investigation conducted by the Wei family's intelligence personnel. At that time, some herders survived and reported the matter."

"It was precisely because of the incident involving Fengxian that Brother Wei Ya was able to find clues from various intelligence reports, connect them together, and obtain the truth."

Li Su recounted the source of this information in detail, and no one would lie about the Wei family.

"That old scoundrel Ding Yuan, how dare he bully me like this!"

He picked up his halberd, ready to poke a few holes in Ding Yuan's body.

"Brother, wait a moment. Ding Yuan has many guards. You can pretend to be reporting something, get close to Ding Yuan from behind, and behead him with one stroke. Your great revenge can be avenged."

"I was unaware of his true intentions before, but now that I know, I will never again call him my godfather, nor will I feign loyalty! Defeat is nothing more than death!"

Lu Bu said coldly.

"Alas, Lord Dong knows you may be impatient to avenge your parents. As a true man, he is unwilling to bow down to his enemies, so he also sent you a suit of armor to lend you a helping hand."

"Fengxian's injury is a minor matter, but if it alerts the enemy and we fail to kill Ding Yuan, that would be a serious problem."

Lu Bu now holds Li Su in high esteem, the man who revealed the truth about his parents' deaths. Furthermore, Li Su's words make sense, and the guards surrounding Ding Yuan should not be underestimated.

Although he was brave and strong, he might still be able to let Ding Yuan escape.

This is something he absolutely cannot accept!

So Lü Bu put on the armor that Dong Zhuo had sent him, saying, "I will avenge my parents and then go to thank Lord Dong in person."

Once dressed, Lü Bu, who was already quite strong, looked majestic and imposing.

Holding a halberd, wearing a golden crown to tie his hair, a battle robe adorned with a hundred flowers, Tang Ni armor, and a lion-shaped belt.

When Gao Shun saw Lü Bu come out, looking murderous, he quickly asked Lü Bu what had happened.

Gao Shun was Lü Bu's most trusted general, and his men were all his personal guards, people he entrusted with his life and death.

Besides this!

Lu Bu plunged his halberd into a man's chest; this man was none other than Ding Yuan's spy.

"My brother brought me the truth about our parents' murder. It was Ding Yuan who sent people to massacre my entire village back then, so that I could follow him without any worries."

"It would be ungrateful not to avenge this!"

"This intelligence comes from the Wei family; it's absolutely true!"

Even Gao Shun's face, which had remained unchanged for a century, twisted slightly upon hearing this news. "Trapped Camp, assemble!"

Gao Shun led the Trapped Camp and followed Lü Bu to Ding Yuan's bedroom.

Upon arriving outside Ding Yuan's bedroom, they were stopped by Ding Yuan's personal guards.

"Lu Bu, what are you doing here so late at night?"

Lu Bu did not want to engage in verbal disputes with these people, nor was he willing to conceal his intentions.

He was about to tell Ding Yuan that he had come for revenge!

Lu Bu picked up his halberd and swung it, killing two people in one fell swoop.

The sounds of battle also woke Ding Yuan. He thought that Dong Zhuo had sent troops to kill him because of his lack of martial virtue. He was about to jump out of the window to escape when he realized that it was Lü Bu.

Perhaps he was used to bossing Lü Bu around, and before he even understood what was happening this year, he stepped out of the guard's protective circle and came up to Lü Bu, pointing his finger at Lü Bu and cursing him.

"Lu Bu, you've gone mad!"

"Are you trying to rebel?!"

"I still want to kill my father!"

Holding his halberd, Lü Bu grinned cruelly and sliced ​​off Ding Yuan's finger that was pointing at him with a single blow.

"what!"

"Lu Bu, what do you want to do? I am your godfather!"

Ding Yuan kept retreating, and the pain finally brought him back to reality from his fantasy.

They realized that Lü Bu's arrival was ill-intentioned!

"Ding Yuan, let me ask you this: what is your relationship with the bandits who slaughtered my entire village and killed my parents back then?!"

Lu Bu's voice was like ice from the heavens, chilling to the bone.

Ding Yuan's expression changed. He had killed almost everyone who knew about this matter, leaving only his most trusted confidants. How did Lü Bu know about it?!

"Fengxian, what are you saying?"

"Didn't you wipe out the bandits by then?"

"Is there some misunderstanding between us, father and son? Why shouldn't we listen to others' slander?"

"I know you want to lead an army and slaughter those alien races. I'll let you lead the army; I'll give you military power!"

Lu Bu, Gao Shun, and Li Su all took in Ding Yuan's furious expression.

Lu Bu closed his eyes, recalling the blood-soaked village. When he opened them again, there was no emotion in his eyes.

He cut off Ding Yuan's fingers one by one, then cut off his feet. Before Lü Bu could proceed to the next step, Ding Yuan could not bear the pain and died from the agony!

Lu Bu then cut off Ding Yuan's head and gave it to Gao Shun, instructing him to wrap it in lime so that he could use it to pay respects to his parents after returning to Bingzhou.

"Brother, your kindness and virtue are unforgettable!"

Lu Bu knelt down directly before Li Su, who quickly stepped aside.

"This is all thanks to Brother Wei Ya and Lord Dong. If you want to thank someone, thank them."

"Lu Bu has no particular skills, except for his martial arts, which are passable. After I return to Bingzhou to pay respects to my parents, I will come to Chang'an to join Lord Dong. I would appreciate your introduction then!"

"Okay, okay!"

"Lord Dong values ​​you highly. With your martial arts skills, it will be easy for you to be promoted to general and ennobled. At that time, your uncle and aunt can rest in peace."

Lu Bu remained silent, mounted Red Hare, and left Chang'an City with Ding Yuan's head in his arms.

After daybreak, news of what had happened at Ding Yuan's residence quickly spread throughout Chang'an.

The love-hate relationship between Ding Yuan and Lü Bu also caused many powerful figures in the court to curse them.

It doesn't matter if you, Ding Yuan, die, but don't lose your military power!

After Ding Yuan took over the position of Commander of the Imperial Guard, he placed many people from Bingzhou in the command to control the entire command.

Most of these people followed Lü Bu into battle, and many had been saved by him. Now that Ding Yuan was dead and Lü Bu was seeking revenge for his parents, they took the opportunity to join him. Under Lü Bu's orders, they followed Li Su to join Dong Zhuo.

Now Dong Zhuo not only controls his own Xiliang army, but also the city's garrison under the command of the Imperial Guard.

The entire city of Chang'an was now only in the hands of powerful families; the insignificant private armies and the Imperial Guards that protected Chang'an were no longer under Dong Zhuo's control.

Although the Imperial Guards were formidable in combat, their sheer numbers were a major weakness.

With fewer than 2 men in total, they were no match for Dong Zhuo's massive army.

Dong Zhuo quickly seized control of the entire city of Chang'an and began to try to seize power in the central government.

However, as a border military commander, even if he held military power, he did not have this qualification.

To gain the right to sit at the table, there is only one possibility: to have the merit of supporting the emperor's ascension to the throne!
