Volume 2 The Yellow Turban Rebellion Chapter 98 Zhang Liao designed to capture Ding Yuan

Since he had made a decision, Lu Bu was not a procrastinator, so he ordered everyone to prepare a little, and prepare to enter Beijing with Li Ru tomorrow. After everyone left, Lu Bu was left alone in the tent and sighed to himself.

Cheng Lian, Song Xian and Wei Xu, who were originally excited, planned to go back to their confidant's camp to clean up after leaving the tent, but they were stopped by Zhang Liao.

"Can the three generals talk to each other?"

When the three of them heard this, they looked at Zhang Liao with puzzled expressions.

"It's about the future of the Lord and us!"

Seeing Zhang Liao's intentions, the three of them glanced at each other, and then followed Zhang Liao to Zhang Liao's military tent. As for Hao Meng, who was a little younger, he glanced at the four of them curiously, thinking that the four of them had been drinking together again, so he didn't think much about it and walked towards his tent.

Hao Meng is the youngest person among Lu Bu's subordinates, only six out of ten. Although he is young, he fights like Lu Bu, brave and fearless, and Lu Bu is extremely important. Lu Bu forced Hao Meng not to drink alcohol until he was crowned, so as not to affect Hao Meng's future.

"What did General Wenyuan call us to do?" Wei Xu said with a slight curiosity.

"Why do you think Dong Zhuo wants to recruit the lord into the court?"

"Isn't it what Li Ru said, the lord is unparalleled in the world, and he recruits the lord to lead the army?" Cheng Lian is puzzled, are there other reasons?

"There are more than 100,000 soldiers and horses in Luoyang, many elites, and it is an invincible army of the Han Dynasty." Zhang Liao didn't think that he saw it like this, and said eloquently: "There are many heroes in the world, and there are countless people who can fight well in the land of Xiliang, and Dong Zhuo can't just look at the unparalleled bravery of the lord." Zhang Liao's face was a little solemn.

"Liao wants to come, Dong Zhuo recruits the lord, and what he wants most is not the lord alone, but the Bingzhou iron cavalry represented by the lord!"

That's right, no matter how brave the lord is, there is only one person, how can he defeat an army of tens of millions? Dong Zhuo is now in power all over the world, what is he going to do if he wants to enter the court? As a bodyguard?

"Looking around Luoyang, the biggest threat to Dong Zhuo now is the ruling Jin Wu Ding Yuan. If the purpose of Dong Zhuo's trip was to get rid of Ding Yuan, what should he do? Zhang Liao told the three of them about his thoughts.

"Dong Zhuo can do whatever he wants!" Song Xian took the words, his face shocked!

"In this way, if we just go alone with the lord, do you think we can be valued by Dong Zhuo after entering Beijing?" Zhang Liao solemnly looked at the three of them and continued: "If we enter Beijing and our power does not change much, is it worth it for the lord to bear repeated charges for this?" What's the use of us coming to Beijing? ”

"What does Wen Yuan mean?" Wei Xu seemed to have some answers, but he asked with some certainty.

"Since we want to serve Dong Zhuo, we must be valuable. Ding Yuan buried the master's talents, and even set up vicious plans to persecute the lord. Since Ding Yuan is so unkind, we are unjust! Zhang Liao's face was extremely fierce and said: "Kill Ding Yuan and bring the army into Beijing!" ”

"Ahh When Cheng Lian heard this, he was shocked and shouted: "No, even if Ding Yuan buries the master's talent, but from the outsider's point of view, Ding Yuan is also benevolent and righteous to the lord, if we kill Ding Yuan, wouldn't it be a trap for the lord and unrighteousness?" Never! ”

Compared with Cheng Lian's exclamation, Wei Xu and Song Xian were much calmer.

"Wen Yuan, we don't have to kill Ding Yuan!" Wei Xu pondered for a moment and said, "We only need to capture Ding Yuan and seize the military power." If it is killed, it is not good for the main bus generation! ”

When Zhang Liao heard this, he pondered for a moment and said: "It's okay, the lord is upright, and we have done too much, I am afraid it will backfire!" ”

"In this way, we will go to Ding Yuan's military tent together early tomorrow morning, take Ding Yuan, and seize the military power!"

"Good!" When the three of them heard this, they excitedly shouted in response.

The next day, the early spring sun was extremely warm. Of course, the generals will not be as easy as the soldiers, and they will pull the soldiers out of the bed in the morning. The sun shone down and shone on the four Zhang Liao who walked towards Ding Yuan's military tent.

Lu Bu didn't sleep all night and thought a lot. thought about how to assist His Majesty Kuangfu Han after entering the court; thought about it, if Dong Zhuo really did the opposite, what should he do; I even thought about how I would face Ding Yuan in the future. Even though Lu Bu wanted to make the hours longer so that he could have more time to think about these things, his eyes still shone through the simple window above the military tent cloth on the black-eyed table in front of Lu Bu.

"My lord, Mr. asked to see me yesterday!" Hearing this, Lu Bu smiled slightly bitterly, slowly stood up, and shook his slightly numb legs.

"General!" Li Ru entered the tent, waved at Lu Bu, and chuckled: "I don't know if the general had a good rest in class last night!" ”

"Can't you see, sir?" Lu Bu was slightly displeased, but Li Ru pretended to be stupid and stunned like this, but it was too much.

"Huh!" Li Ru chuckled, without the slightest embarrassment.

Li Su also followed, and the three of them politely knelt down. Before Li Su could say anything to ask Lu Bu, there was a noise outside the tent. Lu Bu hurriedly got up and went out of the tent to see what was going on.

"Ding Yuan colluded with the DPRK and China to commit treachery and intended rebellion. Now, at the behest of His Majesty, the Taishi has sent an envoy to arrest him. Out of the tent, Lu Bu saw Zhang Liao and Wei Xu tie Ding Yuan up, and shouted loudly on the high platform in the center of the school field: "We followed Ding Yuan, originally ordered to defend the imperial city. Now that Ding Yuan is plotting to rebel, we are arresting Ding Yuan and escorting him to Beijing for interrogation at the behest of His Majesty and General Lu. Why do you raise troops to rebel with Ding Yuan? ”

Zhang Liao looked at the school field, there were not too many soldiers holding weapons, and shouted loudly. Zhang Liao, Wei Xu and others are old generals in Bingzhou, and most of the soldiers in the military camp recognize them. Moreover, the thousands of the most elite Bingzhou iron cavalry in the military camp were even more obedient to Lu Bu, and Zhang Liao and the others were Lu Bu's cronies. Except for a little curiosity, the Iron Rider of the State did not plan anything else.

Before Lu Bu could react, Li Ru on the side took out the edict that he had prepared, walked quickly to the stage under the protection of Li Su, spread out the edict and read it aloud: "The emperor's edict said: Ding Yuan is plotting with adultery today...... The special envoy Yilang Li Ru ordered the former general Lu Bu to capture Ding Yuan and immediately enter Beijing to await trial! ”

Lu Bu was beside him, staring at Zhang Liao and the others in astonishment at first, but after Li Ru read the edict, Lu Bu, who reacted, was angry. You are actually in charge of your own affairs, and you are angry!

Lu Bu walked quickly to the top of the high platform, and was about to scold Zhang Liao and the others angrily. Zhang Liao was the first to speak: "General, Ding Yuan is plotting to rebel and rebel, and I also ask the general to respect His Majesty's edict and escort Ding Yuan to Beijing!" ”

"General Lu is an important minister of the Han court, and he can kill his relatives meaningfully and arrest rebellions for the court, which is really a model for us!" Without waiting for Lu Bu to speak, Li Ru took over and said: "Today's general's merits, Ru Ding should report to the court, and ask the general to appease the soldiers first!" ”

"Uh..." Lu Bu, who wanted to speak several times, was blocked by Zhang Liao and Li Ru's words, and his face turned red. However, Zhang Liao and Li Ru had already convicted Ding Yuan in public, and even took out the edict prepared in advance, and Lu Bu wanted to exonerate Ding Yuan at this time. In desperation, in order to prevent mutiny, Lu Bu had to suppress the anger in his heart, turned around and said loudly: "The imperial edict has been issued, and the arraignment of Jinwu will be arraigned." We need to follow the imperial edict and enter Beijing immediately! You can rest assured that if this is the case, the court will definitely not spare it, and if there is no rebellion on the part of the ruling Jinwu, the court will not wronged him. ”

The originally restless soldiers and horses of the state gradually quieted down after Lu Bu appeared. After Lu Bu finished speaking, the soldiers put down their weapons and obeyed Lu Bu's military orders.

Zhang Liao and others had already discussed, in order to seize power as soon as possible, after capturing Ding Yuan, they knocked Ding Yuan unconscious. It's just that I didn't expect Li Ru to still carry the edict, which made Zhang Liao and others feel a lot more worried.

Although the soldiers and horses here were originally in charge of the ruling Jinwu Dingyuan, except for the thousands of central troops who originally defended the imperial city, all the soldiers who were recruited from Bingzhou were left. And even if the soldiers of Bingzhou are subordinate to Ding Yuan, they are more willing to obey the orders of Lu Bu in the past. In this way, the behavior that was originally very likely to cause a mutiny was dismissed by Lu Bu with a word.

Seeing that the soldiers were gradually leaving, Lu Bu turned to face Zhang Liao and the others, his face was extremely ugly. Looking at Ding Yuan, who had fainted in Zhang Liao's hand, Lu Bu's face became terrifyingly dark.

Seeing this, Zhang Liao hurriedly handed Ding Yuan into the hands of Wei Xu and others, and wanted Lu Bu to hug his fists and said: "Today's so-called are all Liao's orders, if the lord wants to punish, he can punish Liao alone." However, this is the school field at this time, and I hope that the lord will be patient a little, so as not to let the soldiers find out the clues. Zhang Liao's face was sincere, and he whispered to Lu Bu to plead guilty.

"Humph!" Seeing that Li Ru was beside him, Lu Bu didn't know what decision to make to Zhang Liao for the time being, so he snorted secretly, turned around and left: "Haosheng takes care of the lieutenant, and after entering Beijing, it will be handed over to His Majesty!" ”

The wood has been completed, and Lu Bu now doesn't know how to face Ding Yuan, so he has to let Zhang Liao treat Ding Yuan well.

Xiaopingjin's military power was all owned by Lu Bu, and under Li Ru's suggestion, Lu Bu did not delay any longer, ordered the whole army, and immediately wanted to set off in Luoyang. Lu Bu was extremely strict in governing the army, and even if Ding Yuan was arrested early in the morning, the speed of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses was much faster than Li Ru's arrival in Xiaopingjin yesterday. The army arrived in Luoyang two or three hours later.

"The general will temporarily garrison outside the city today, and after the Confucian general reports the reason for this to His Majesty, His Majesty will arrange a place for the general to go!" Li Ru ordered someone to take over Ding Yuan, who had not yet woken up, and said: "Zhijinwu will be brought into the capital by Confucianism first, and he will be imprisoned." His Majesty will interrogate him at a later date. ”

Lu Bu looked at the bound Ding Yuan, a little unbearable in his heart, and stopped talking.

Seeing this, Li Ru thought about settling Lu Bu's mind first and said: "General Lu, rest assured, if Your Majesty verifies that Jin Wu Ding Yuan has no rebellious behavior, he will definitely be acquitted!" ”

"In this way, I will bother Yilang to take care of Zhijinwu, after all, Zhijinwu Ding Yuan has also taken care of cloth for a long time!" Lu Bu hugged his fist at Li Ru, hoping that Li Ru would take care of Ding Yuan a little.

"That's nature, general!" Li Ruzuo replied.

After saying that, Li Ru turned around and escorted Ding Yuan towards Luoyang City.

Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses left Xiaopingjin and went to Luoyang, how to hide from the eyes of the world, and Ding Yuan was still in contact with many ministers before. The news of Ding Yuan's capture spread very quickly like a spring breeze.
