When Wang Yun left the Zhijinwu Yamen, it was already dawn, and a round of red sun, along the horizon of the sky, was rising, and the morning sun dispelled the dense fog of heaven and earth and shone on the sky of Luoyang.

The generals of Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, and Zhang Yang, who had already received some news, returned to the backyard of the Jinwu Yamen and met Ding Yuan.

"Father-in-law, I heard that the imperial court is going to welcome Mushan into Beijing, abandon us and join the state army, and use you as a scapegoat to eliminate Mushan's anger, right?"

Lu Bu hurriedly came, with a hint of evil in his eyes.

"Fengxian, what kind of system has you become in such a panic, have you forgotten everything your father taught you?"

Ding Yuan was drinking a bowl of small porridge, that day he was in a coma due to the blood spillage of qi, and his body was still very weak, but now he was just barely supporting, he looked at Lu Bu's angry appearance, frowned slightly, and said coldly.

"My father-in-law taught me since I was a child, but whoever achieves great things is not a reckless man, but a brave man, brave and feasible, reckless and unwanted, calm in case of trouble, even calmer on the battlefield, not arrogant, not impulsive!"

Lu Bu hurriedly lowered his head and muttered.

He has lived alone on the grassland since he was a teenager, and his soul is a little lonely, and he has developed a natural arrogance, but since he entered Ding Yuan's door, he has been valued by Ding Yuan, and he has been accepted as a moth righteous son.

Ding Yuan taught him, suppressed him, beat him, and drugged him, never exaggerated him, but countless times he was proud in front of others, removed his military power, and pressured him to read and write.

He has always respected Ding Yuan in his heart, and never dared to have the slightest disrespect.

He was born in the grassland, free, wild, not afraid of heaven and earth, even the Hun court he dared to break alone, no one let him have the slightest fear, only Ding Yuan, Ding Yuan was angry, he always felt flustered, it was a strange feeling.

"Look at your current appearance, you haven't been able to learn to be calm since then, how can you entrust big things in the future, if you have Wenyuan half a point of stability, even if you close your eyes from now on, it can be regarded as blinding!" Ding Yuan is a commander who crisscrosses the battlefield and the chief general of the state army, and in a fit of anger, the anger erupts in anger, and the entire hall is a little cold.

"Father-in-law, Feng Xian is just worried about you!"

Zhang Liao stood up at this time and said.

"Humph!"

Ding Yuan snorted coldly, then he dissipated his anger and said indifferently: "What is there to worry about for your father, you just listened to some rumors in the market, how can you figure out the intentions of the important ministers in the court, fight for your father and the court, how can you be abandoned by the court, you think about it more, go back to the barracks!" ”

"Father-in-law, although it is a rumor in the market, it must be guarded against, Wang Yun Situ came to visit late at night, there must be a plan, the father-in-law does not say, we can also guess one or two, we have been defeated so far, the court will not rely on it, if there are people outside the city who are aggressive, I am afraid that this court will ask us to carry the crime for it!"

Zhang Liao took a step forward and said in a deep voice.

When Ding Yuan heard this, his face was a little surprised, he raised his head slightly, his eyes were complex, he looked at Zhang Liao, and only after half a sound did he let out a long breath of turbidity, and said in a deep voice: "Under my door, Feng Xian is brave and does not think, and he is constantly scheming, Uncle Zhi is calm but unstable, fixed and sharp, Dongming is as solid as a rock, but his personality is persistent, only you are smart and do not lose yourself, calm and enterprising, the most expected!" ”

He has three battalions and four generals under his command, Wumeng Battalion, Shuofang Battalion, Feiqi Battalion, Zhang Yang, Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, and Gao Shun.

Lu Bu is the one he cherishes and values the most, and this is the heir he introduced as his son, so he cares more.

Zhang Yang was a scribe, a strategist, and his lieutenant.

And Gao Shun, Gao Dongming, a stuffy gourd, is the deputy general of the Wumeng battalion, but he does not show mountains and water, and he is the most easily ignored person in the entire Bingzhou Army, even Zhang Yang usually ignores him.

But this son is the toughest character around him, can be used as a shield, the battle of the Sunset Pavilion, although he did not turn the tide, but because of him, let the Wumeng battalion retain its strength.

The three of them have their own strengths and weaknesses, only Zhang Liao is a generalist, he is young and intelligent, and Lu Bu is a friend of eight worships, when he accepted Lu Bu as a righteous son, he also took Zhang Liao under his door, carefully taught, but more and more feel that Zhang Liao can be shaped, this is an all-round battlefield talent.

"My father-in-law loves me, and Liao is ashamed!"

When Zhang Liao heard this, he immediately knelt down and performed the salute of the son.

"If you can continue to experience for a few years, you will be able to take on the heavy responsibility, become a pillar of the court, and calm the world in turmoil, unfortunately, there is no time for your father to escort you!" Ding Yuan's quiet road.

His words made the faces of the three of them change color.

This means that the rumors are not false.

"Father-in-law, I'll take their heads!" Lu Bu looked slaughtered: "The righteous father has fought countless bloody battles for them, and they want the life of the righteous father, which is really hateful, I will take a look, who dares to hurt the righteous father in the slightest!" ”

"Stop!"

"Father-in-law?"

"Fengxian, it's not that they want me to die, in Luoyang City, I have tens of thousands of sons and daughters in my hands, the most powerful, can they want my life?" Ding Yuan said lightly: "It is I who wants my life, it is the helpless situation in this Luoyang City, this is a stalemate that can no longer be stabilized, it is the thousands of people in this Luoyang City who want to be stable, even if you go to kill them, what can you do?" ”

"At least someone can protect the righteous father and kill Luoyang, it's a big deal that we will return to the state!" Lu Bu stopped, gritted his teeth and said.

"And then?"

Ding Yuan asked again.

"Then ......" Lu Bu couldn't answer, and his cheeks flushed.

"Wen Yuan, you say, and then?" Ding Yuan turned his head, looked at Zhang Liao, and asked again.

"Then ......" Zhang Liao lowered his head and muttered: "Our army will become a rebel army of the imperial court that spreads all over the world, and under the condemnation of the imperial court, there will be the division of King Qin to chase and kill, and even if you flee back to the state, it will be difficult to live in peace, and ...... The world will be chaotic! ”

This is the most important reason why Ding Yuan would rather die than leave.

"Humph!"

Lu Bu gritted his teeth and said confidently: "As long as you return to the state, you will be able to protect the peace of your father-in-law, and you will be able to fight against ten thousand armies!" ”

"Fengxian, you are unstoppable for your father, but do you know, if you escape, the name of your father's life will be ruined in your hands, since then, your father is a chaotic minister and thief, everyone has to be punished, and the stench is above history for 10,000 years, the ancestors and ancestors are ashamed, and the ancestral temple cannot be erected!"

Ding Yuan glanced at him obliquely, his eyes were complicated, and he had a little bit of hatred for iron and steel.

Lu Bu's courage is comparable to that of an overlord, and he is invincible, but after all, he has less responsibility, less vision, and ...... in the future I'm afraid that twists and turns are inevitable, and whether it can mature is still unknown.

What he was asking for, he couldn't see clearly, but Zhang Liao could see it clearly.

Relative life and death.

He cares more about his reputation, his name before and after his death, it is recorded in history, he must not be infamous for his own selfishness.

"But if my father-in-law stays in Luoyang, it's a dead end!" Lu Bu's eyes were red.

"Sima Gong once said that people are inherently dead, or heavier than Mount Tai, or lighter than the feathers, what is Mount Tai, what is the feathers, the weight of the Han family, is heavier than Mount Tai, my life, lighter than the feathers, I can dedicate everything to the Han family!"

Ding Yuan's expression was calm, life and death had already been put aside when he went south, this battle had been lost, he was willing to bear everything, rather than let the court take responsibility, he was for the Han Dynasty, he had to be loyal to the Han family, this loyalty, he must bear it.

This is his righteousness.

He can sacrifice his life for righteousness.

Since the defeat of his Sunset Pavilion, he has already had this mental preparation, so even if he escapes back, he is not too happy, God has lost him after all, and he has lost his loyalty, and it is a pity that he can't calm the rebellion of Luoyang.

"Father-in-law!"

"Fujun!"

Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, and Zhang Yang knelt down with sad and indignant expressions.

"I've made up my mind about this matter!" Ding Yuan waved his hand and said, "You don't need to say much!" ”

"Father-in-law, Liao has a plan!"

Zhang Liao knelt down and stepped forward and wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes: "We were defeated at the hands of Mushan, and Mushan did not forgive, it was nothing more than to show his toughness, he just wanted a step, and he wanted a life for me and the state army, Liao can recognize the responsibility of the surprise attack of the soldiers, and he can protect the life of his father......"

Before he finished speaking, Ding Yuan interrupted him: "Wen Yuan, although you are smart, not everyone is stupid, you can think of it, Wang Zishi has already thought of it, he is friends with his father, why doesn't he want to do this, protect his father's life, stabilize the heart of the state army, but not for his father, I Ding Yuan, my life is bright and fair, how can I let you and others take the blame for me, it is my decision to send troops, the stability of the Han family is my persistence, I should bear it with all my might!" ”

After speaking, he waved his hand and said, "I have already said, this matter should not be discussed again!" ”

The three of them fell silent on their knees.

"Uncle Childish!"

"In!"

"You go back to the party!" Ding Yuan seemed to be explaining the aftermath, and said: "Beijing is all tigers and wolves, if you stay, I am afraid that your life will be in danger, and you will be too guarded by the party, and you can save your life!" ”

"Fujun?"

"Go ahead!" Ding Yuan said: "I can't protect you anymore, there are only 6,000 soldiers left in the Wumeng Battalion, you take half of them, return to the party, you can also save your life, if you have a chance in the future, or there will be a day when you will be famous in the world!" ”

"Subordinates obey!"

Zhang Yang responded with tears in his eyes, knelt three times and bowed nine times, and then got up and left.

In the wing, in front of Ding Yuan, there were only Lu Bu and Zhang Liao, the two righteous sons.

"Fengxian, Wenyuan!"

"In!"

"Since the merger of the state and the south, I don't care about life and death, but I am just worried about the future of the Han family for hundreds of years!"

Ding Yuan's eyes were gloomy, and he said in a deep voice: "I am defeated, I die, I accept my fate, but I am unwilling, I am unwilling to see the stability of the world, and I can't see the future of the Han family, so I need to do something for me!" ”

"Father-in-law, please!"

The two of them arched their hands, put them on their foreheads, bowed their heads, and said respectfully, with a hint of choking in their voices.

"The situation has reached this point, if I go, then it is impossible for the state army to stand on the capital, it will be broken up, on this capital, there are only two people who support the army, one is Mushan, and the other is Dong Zhuo!"

Ding Yuan analyzed the current situation: "But I don't believe them, whether it is Mushan or Dong Zhuo, I don't believe that they can be loyal ministers of the Han family, so I want you to take my head, take the army of the state hostage, surrender to them, and keep an eye on them, if they can revitalize the Han family and stabilize the world, you can be loyal, but if they mess with my Han family and plot the world, you will be killed quickly!" ”

"Father, I am the son of man, how can this be?"

When the two heard this, they were very alarmed.

"Aren't you all willing to do it for me?" Ding Yuandao.

When Lu Bu and Zhang Liao heard this, they were already in tears.

After all, Ding Yuan couldn't be resisted, and after the two knelt down and kowtowed, they responded with tears: "The father-in-law commanded, the body will be broken, and it will be completed!" ”

"Good!"

Ding Yuan smiled, smiled brightly, and said: "On duty all night, guarding against soldiers outside the city, it will be tired, you will go to rest for half a day, and we will go together for lunch, you don't have to go to the barracks these days, just accompany your father in the house for a few days!" ”

"No!"

The two couldn't hold back their emotions and left with their hands.

"They're gone, come out!"

After half a ring, Ding Yuan turned his head, looked at a figure on the windowsill, and spoke.

"Fujun!" This is a tall figure, Gao Shun, Gao Dongming.

He is not famous, his sense of presence is weak, and he is not eye-catching, but he is always the strongest shield by Ding Yuan's side, so he is always there.

"You heard everything!" Ding Yuan said: "In the future, you can follow Fengxian or Wenyuan, they are all my sons, I have no queen in my life, only two people can be entrusted!" ”

"Fujun, is there no second way?" Gao Shun asked.

"Nope!" Ding Yuan shook his head.

"Wen Yuan is the righteous son of the prince, he can't be guilty, but he can do something ......"

"I said, no!"

Ding Yuan decisively interrupted him: "They are the ones I have grown up watching, and so are you, although you have no name of father and son, you also have the righteousness of father and son, in my heart, you are all the same!" ”

"Fujun!"

Gao Shun's tiger eyes were full of tears, this was the first time that Ding Yuan admitted that he could also become Ding Yuan's righteous son.

"Whether it's Fengxian or Wen Yuan, you can make your own decision!"

"I'm willing to follow Fengxian!"

"Why?"

"Although Fu Jun thinks that Wenyuan has a better future, the person who can't let go is always Feng Xian!" Gao Shundao.

"Only you know my heart!"

Ding Yuan sighed for a long time and said: "Fengxian's personality is like this, it is impossible to be cold and lonely in the world, this battlefield is his belonging, but he is as fierce as an overlord, and he will also kill himself Wujiang, he will inevitably have twists and turns in the future, and he is always not as stable as Wen Yuan, my heart, it is difficult to be safe!" ”

"There is so-and-so, so-and-so will not die, and never let Lu Feng be injured first!" Gao Shun said resolutely.

"Then I'm relieved!"

Ding Yuan stood up, his eyes looked up at the sky, from the windowsill, the sky was blue, his expression was very calm, and he muttered to himself: "If I have the head of one person, I can make Luoyang stable, and I have no regrets!" ”

……

……

On the fourth day of the siege of the city of Luoyang, at noon.

Makiyama Barracks.

In the big tent in the camp, the violent bear generals and the Nanyang generals all gathered together, looking at the human head on the case, and said nothing for a long time.

"Mrs. Mu, I don't know this explanation, is it okay?" Chong Shao stared coldly, staring at Mushan.

"Ding Jianyang!"

Makiyama sighed, muttered the name of the human head, and then asked, "Who killed it?" ”

He didn't expect things to go so smoothly.

"He killed himself!"

He replied.

"Kill yourself?"

Mu Jing stood beside him, his eyes were lifelike, and his face was a little pale: "How can this be?" ”

He suddenly felt a hint of guilt.

If it was Yuan Feng's hands, maybe he wouldn't feel this way, but he could kill himself, how much faith and courage it would take!

Is it for the sake of the Han court?

What a Ding Yuan!

"What a strong man!"

When Mushan heard this, he bowed to the head of the person and said, "Send it back, let them and the generals of the state army be buried!" ”

He didn't feel a pity, after all, Ding Yuan wanted him to die.

But he admires that he can come to this point for the sake of human settlements, and he has to admire him.

Ding Yuan could escape or fight, but he chose to die!

"No!"

The guards on the left and right, come up, and take this head.

"Mu Taifu, can the prince return to the court?" He asked in a cold voice.

"Order, after an hour, all the generals will return to the court with the crown prince, enter the sun and calm the chaos in the world!" Mushan stood up and said, "Now that Your Majesty has been dead for many days, it is time for the crown prince to ascend the throne!" ”

As soon as Ding Yuan died, the rebellion in Luoyang could be regarded as a foregone conclusion.
