Lu Bu returned to Dingyuan from Lu County alone. Ding Yuan was furious when he got that Lu Bu didn't help his family deal with Lu Peng, and he ran back without even hitting a bottle of soy sauce, and directly ordered his subordinates to tie up Lu Bu, just outside the yamen, in front of hundreds of people and soldiers, beat Lu Bu 50 buttocks, and then directly expelled him home.

This is a kind of humiliation, a kind of disregard and undignified humiliation, lying on the bed, facing Zhang Liao Gaoshun who came to visit quietly, Lu Bu slammed the bed with his fists, like a wounded beast, and let out a low roar in his throat: "Ding Yuan Lao'er, bully me too much, I will kill him." ”

Hearing Lu Bu's roar, Zhang Liao was so frightened that he hurriedly covered Lu Bu's mouth with his hand: "General Shenyan, General Shenyan, this is still Ding Yuan's territory, these domestic slaves and servants of yours are all the eyes and ears sent by Ding Yuan, if you are like this, once Ding Yuan learns about it, your life will be suspended." ”

Hearing Zhang Liao's persuasion, Lu Bu could only swallow his anger and suppress this anger in his heart.

As the so-called people are under the eaves, they have to bow their heads, and now even if Lu Bu is brave and martial arts, but if he fights against the entire government represented by Ding Yuan with the strength of one person, it is no different from looking for death. If he kills Ding Yuan now, with his current capital, the world is so big, there will be no place for him to stand.

After being silent for a while, Zhang Liao looked left and right for a while, and comforted softly: "Now the world has been in chaos, and warlords from all over the country have risen one after another, and they no longer obey the imperial court. The general is brave and brave, and sooner or later he will come out. But now we have to endure it. ”

Lu Bu forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart and gently knocked on the edge of the bed with his fist, his heart full of unwillingness.

knocked on the edge of the bed, but regretted his original decision, when he was in the Luxian Salt Farm, he didn't really kill Lu Peng with a few words of Lu Peng's flickering, if he killed Lu Peng at that time, then why should there be such humiliation now, so thinking about it, he actually resented Lu Peng: "The next time I meet, I will never let you go." ”

didn't want to let go of Lu Peng, it was not only Lu Bu in Bingzhou, but also Ding Yuan who was roaring in the hall of Bingzhou's assassination.

Faced with a group of children of the Ding family in Lu County who fled here in embarrassment, and got the news that he had completely lost the foundation of Lu County's salt rights, Ding Yuan had completely gone violent.

50 million yuan to buy official money, completely lost, this made Ding Yuan's dream of obtaining the state pastor of the state come to naught, the current emperor is not a good talker, will not because of your political achievements and merits, this hot position will be handed over to you, in the eyes of the emperor today, the official position of a state pastor, the price of 50 million yuan is absolutely impossible, without this money, and the state will have no chance with himself.

This is only a simple aspect, the most important thing is that the loss of the salt works in Lu County is equivalent to completely cutting off the ties of interest between oneself and the nomads outside the border, and in addition to losing the huge financial resources, it has also lost the handle to control the nomads.

In fact, the most fundamental reason why the grassland peoples continue to invade the Central Plains is that they have no material production, only cattle and sheep. But no matter how many cattle and sheep there are, they can't really survive.

In order to obtain the materials they had to survive, such as salt, iron, grain, cloth, and their indispensable tea, sometimes when the Central Plains Dynasty cut off their supplies, they had to loot and exchange human lives.

Often the border troubles are like this, the Central Plains Dynasty and the nomads in the north, when the border trade is prosperous and developed, it is the time when the two aspects are relatively stable. And once there is a shortage of materials among the northern nomads, it is also the time when the northern nomads and the Central Plains ethnic groups are in turmoil. Survival is above all else, and there is no way to do it.

For example, in later generations, the Northern Song Dynasty, due to the Tanyuan Alliance, the Song and Liao Dynasty engaged in mutual markets, creating a hundred years of stability between the Liao and Song dynasties. And it is precisely because there is no such alliance with the Western Xia, which created the continuous war between the Song and Xia, and in later generations, Inner Mongolia has been integrated with the Central Plains, and all kinds of material resources continue to flow between the north and the south.

And the state can be maintained until now, although the two sides continue to fight petty, there is no major war, it is precisely because Ding Yuan launched a border trade trade, a steady stream of export to the grassland peoples of their necessary means of life, and at the same time obtain the nomadic cattle and sheep materials, and once the most critical commodity in this border trade - salt is cut off, then a new round of strong attack and defense is about to break out.

"I absolutely can't tolerate this kind of thing, the salt in Luxian County must be in our hands, Lu Peng, is just an insignificant little person, I must take him down." Ding Yuan pounded the table angrily.

Ding Li immediately stepped forward and suggested: "Lu Peng, Tiger Wolf also, looking at what he is doing now, he will definitely become this great Han and the fierce rival of this great Han family." We must nip this scourge in the bud while he is still in his infancy. ”

For this shrewd and capable nephew, Ding Yuan was appreciative, and after sitting down angrily, he arranged: "The Ding family in Lu County needs to be restored, and the salt works in Lu County must be returned to our hands, so I decided to immediately send three thousand iron horsemen, led by that bastard Lu Bu, to restore the Ding family in Lu County and restore the ownership of the Lu County salt works as you return to Youzhou." ”

Getting Ding Yuan's promise, Ding Li's heart was extremely excited, which proved that Ding Yuan was fully supporting himself and becoming the patriarch of the Ding family in Luxian County in the future, and at the same time, he also made himself Ding Yuan's most powerful reserve strength! My ambitions over the years have also had the opportunity to be realized.

Lu Bu, who was traumatized at home, was called to the mansion of the assassin by a small official, Ding Yuan looked coldly at the first fierce general under him, and ordered lightly, but undoubtedly: "I will give you 3,000 wolf rides, and follow my nephew Ding Li back to Lu County, Youzhou, and carry the head of Lu Peng's villain to see me." ”

Then he looked at Lu Bu, and his expression suddenly became cold: "If you give me another one this time who is from the same family without fighting, don't blame me for cutting off your head." ”

Then without waiting for Lu Bu to say anything, he directly waved his hand and blasted him out.

Walking out of the lobby of the Thorn History Mansion, Lu Bu stood outside the hall, looking at the majestic Thorn History Mansion, and secretly felt ruthless in his heart: "Lu Peng, I will behead you, Ding Yuan, one day I will take revenge on this humiliation." ”
