Chapter 557: Lu Bu called the formation
Liu Zheng heard Ding Yuan speak, and he persuaded him to surrender, and immediately laughed a few times.
"Hahaha, General Ding Yuan, Your Excellency is also a veteran, due to my age, I respectfully call Your Excellency an old general, but it doesn't mean that I'm afraid of you."
"You are persuading me to surrender, don't you look down on me Liu Zheng too much, if I am willing to surrender, why bother to this day?"
Liu Zheng responded disdainfully to Ding Yuan.
"It seems that you are obsessed and determined to rebel, can I ask why you have to rebel?"
Liu Zheng was not in a hurry to attack anyway, at this time Ding Yuan was interested in chatting, and Liu Zheng had not found someone to chat with for a long time.
Simply, he answered Ding Yuan.
"Actually, when I first started, I was not a thief, I was a person with lofty ideals with a warm heart, and even a patriotic young man at one time, thinking of joining the army and becoming a general who went into battle to kill the enemy."
Liu Zheng opened his mouth to surprise everyone present.
Not only Ding Yuan on the city tower, but also those subordinates around Liu Zheng, these subordinates, including Huang Zhong, Gan Ning and others, were not the Yellow Turban miscellaneous soldiers who followed Liu Zheng at the beginning, they didn't know Liu Zheng's past, they only thought that Liu Zheng was a small leader of the Yellow Turban Army from the beginning.
Only Xu Huang knows best that Liu Zheng is from a small miscellaneous soldier, step by step, to today.
Of course, Liu Zheng's words were most interested in Ding Yuan, and after Liu Zheng finished speaking, Ding Yuan quickly asked again.
"Since you have the ambition to serve the country, why don't you abandon the secret and join the Han, but instead become a thief?"
"Haha, speaking of which, I will become a thief, in fact, thanks to the big man in your mouth, a few years ago, when the Yellow Turban Army had just launched an uprising, I was in a county town in Jizhou, looking for the official army."
"I am ready to take refuge in the official army, dreaming of becoming an official soldier, but the Han official army in your mouth wants to kill me, take my head, go to receive a reward, and say that I am a Yellow Turban rebel."
"You say, is it worth taking refuge in such an officer and army and such a big man?"
After Liu Zheng told his experience and experience, the people present more or less had some feelings, especially these soldiers under Liu Zheng, there are many people who came out of the Yellow Turban Army with Liu Zheng.
They have all experienced some things of being oppressed by the officials and soldiers, and when they heard that their lord had also experienced such an experience, the feeling of empathy came out.
And Ding Yuan, who was on the tower of the city, heard Liu Zheng's words, but he also had some feelings, because those officials and soldiers killed ordinary people and took rewards for money, there were cases in various places, and some places turned a blind eye and passed.
Not to mention killing the Yellow Turban Army, even if they merge the state, there will also be some soldiers who kill ordinary people, saying that the Hun enemies came to receive rewards.
This kind of thing, just like corrupt officials and corrupt officials, cannot be forbidden, and even collusion between the upper and lower levels.
However, how could Ding Yuan admit that this was the fault of the big man, and he continued to speak to appease Liu Zheng.
"You can't blame the Han court for this, corrupt officials and corrupt officials, sinister and cruel officials are everywhere, you think this country is not good, you should work hard to become a part of this country, to change him, to make him better, let him become a peaceful and prosperous world, instead of being a thief and a chaotic party."
Ding Yuan can be regarded as a scholar, and the big truth in his mouth is a little more bookish than those who persuaded Liu Zheng to surrender before.
But Liu Zheng still only smiled faintly.
"Am I not changing him? Instead of taking refuge in the Han Dynasty and joining those corrupt officials and corrupt officials, it is better to overthrow him and re-establish order, General Ding Yuan, the word anti-thief has always been just what you say about me, and I have never admitted that I am a thief. β
"I wish you had called our people the Rebels!"
"Because, my surname is also Liu, I still have feelings for the Han Dynasty, and in the future, I overthrow the rule of the imperial court and establish a new imperial court, and I will also be called the Great Han."
"In the past, Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu was able to transform from a small person to become an emperor, why shouldn't I Liu Zheng?"
In the past, Liu Zheng may have hidden his ambitions, after all, if he became king too early, or expressed his ambitions too early, he would inevitably offend too many people, and even cause such a thing as a group attack.
But now, in the entire Han Dynasty, there are few princes left, and there are almost no enemies left, and there is no need for Liu Zheng to continue to hide his ambitions.
On the contrary, if it is exposed, it will be appreciated by some people, and even make those who follow him feel more at ease, after all, who doesn't want to become a minister from the dragon and a hero of the founding of the country.
Honoring the ancestors is one thing, and paying homage to the marquis is another.
"You...... You simply don't make sense, since you are so obsessed with the thief, then don't blame me for being polite. β
When Ding Yuan heard that Liu Zheng compared himself to Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu, he was immediately angry and immediately scolded.
Lu Bu, who was standing beside Ding Yuan, also immediately stood up and wanted to take a stand.
"Father-in-law, this Liu Zheng is so ignorant, the child asks to go to war and fight him under the city!"
"Okay, Fengxian, you go and extinguish this Liu Zheng's arrogance, let him see, my Han Dynasty is not something that he can despise."
Ding's reason was that he heard Liu Zheng's crooked reasoning, and he was angry, and when he saw that Lu Bu was going to fight, he didn't think much about it, and directly agreed.
Anyway, most of their cavalry subordinates, even if they are fighting outside the city, Liu Zheng has no advantage here, it is good to defend the city, but they are more passive, go out of the city to face the battle, as long as they can defeat Liu Zheng, they can also give their soldiers some morale boost.
It didn't take long.
LΓΌ Bu led 10,000 cavalry and slaughtered him from the county seat.
The city gate opened, and rows of cavalry rushed out of it, and then lined up not far from the city gate.
Lu Bu held the Fang Tian painting halberd and shouted at Liu Zheng loudly.
"Liu Zheng, do you dare to come out and fight me for three hundred rounds?"
Such an arrogant sentence, in front of Liu Zheng's 30,000 soldiers and horses, shouted, if it was someone else, of course he couldn't stand such a shout.
directly sent someone to fight Lu Bu.
But who is Liu Zheng, Liu Zheng is a traverser, he knows Lu Bu's strength best, how could he let his subordinates die.
Therefore, when Lu Bu called for the formation, Liu Zheng didn't plan to pay attention to it at all.
However, when Lu Bu saw that Liu Zheng did not send people to fight, he opened his mouth again and scolded.
"Hahaha, it turns out that you are all some gutless rats, where are you going to be arrogant just now, shrunken turtles, go back to your mother's womb."
