Chapter 010: Dong Zhuo meets Lu Bu
Early in the morning, not long after Ding Yuan got up, he heard a sudden commotion in the camp. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć The info herald ran in and reported to him that a large group of soldiers and horses were coming towards him from several directions. Ding Yuan was shocked, and hurriedly asked someone to summon Lu Bu to come, and went with him to check the situation near the camp gate.
At the critical moment, Ding Yuan still regarded Lu Bu as a subordinate who could be relied on and trusted. However, he forgot that Lu Bu was "out" on patrol, and he should not have appeared in the camp at this moment.
When the heralds had already left, Ding Yuan came back to his senses. He had no choice but to send another herald to call General Hao Meng over.
It didn't take long for Lu Bu to report to Ding Yuan one step faster than Hao Meng. Ding Yuan was a little surprised and asked Lu Bu: "When did Feng Xian return to the camp?" ā
"The subordinates will return to the camp at dawn this morning."
"What did you find when you went out of the city to inspect this time?"
"I'm about to report to the Captain! When the subordinates returned, they found that there were a few strongmen in Shanglinyuan, so they led the army to break up their camp and took the strongmen led back, and everything was left to the captain! ā
Lu Bu lightly defined Xiliangjun as an unidentified strongman, and he wanted to see what kind of attitude Ding Yuan and the others would have after confronting Dong Zhuo's people.
"Those strongmen will be dealt with later, come with me to see the situation outside the camp gate first!" Ding Yuan still didn't know that the matter was actually provoked by Lu Bu, and now that he was bullied to the door, he would not be so frightened that he would shrink into the camp as a king.
Ding Yuan and Lu Bu walked out of the main account not far away, and Hao Meng rushed to arrive. Ding didn't have time to explain to Hao Meng, but asked him to go to Yuanmen with him.
When Ding Yuan saw Dong Zhuo personally leading the forbidden army to block the door, he was immediately furious. He stood in the gate and pointed at Dong Zhuo's nose and scolded: "Dong Zhongying, old horseman, do you really want to start a war with me in Luoyang City?" ā
Dong Zhuo didn't expect Ding Yuan to scold him as soon as he appeared, it stands to reason that he is the one who came to Xingshi to ask for the guilt, where did Ding Yuan's old thief get the confidence?
Dong Zhuo twisted his eyebrows and roared loudly: "Ding Jianyang, Hugh is spurting blood!" If it weren't for your subordinate Lu Bu who stormed the Xiliang military camp for no reason and forcibly captured the three generals under my command, how could this general lead his troops to ask for the crime! ā
Ding Yuan suddenly had a feeling of a dog in his heart, he turned his head to look at Lu Bu beside him, and asked Lu Bu in a low voice: "Old thief Dong said that you kidnapped three of his subordinates, and the number matches the strongman leader you captured, didn't you investigate carefully when you arrested people?" ā
Lu Bu put on a grinning look and explained to Ding Yuan: "Those three guys have shouted a few words, claiming that they are Niu Fu, Dong Huang and Li Ying in the Xiliang Army, how do their subordinates know whether the registration numbers of these miscellaneous fish are true or false, so let's take them back first!" ā
"Oh, Fengxian, you are reckless in this matter! As far as I know, Niu Fu is Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, Dong Huang is Dong Zhuo's nephew, and Li Ying is Li Zhuo's younger brother, and these three people are Dong Zhuo's subordinates. Dong Zhuo is looking for fault now, didn't you give him a handle? ā
"Why should the Lieutenant be flustered? Now that people are in our hands, Dong Zhuo doesn't dare to go to war. Let's see how his subordinates debate with him! Lu Bu had a calm look on his face, took a few steps forward, and said to Dong Zhuo, who was still scolding people in the distance: "Former general, Lu Fengxian, the former chief bookkeeper of the Jinwu account, has a few words that are not spit out or unhappy!" ā
When Dong Zhuo saw Lu Bu, who was dressed in military uniform, about to come forward to speak, he couldn't help but have his eyes lit up, and he was a little surprised and envious. And when he heard the self-proclaimed person, his heart was even more overjoyed, and the more he looked at it, the more satisfied he felt.
"Lu Fengxian, what do you have to say to Ben General?" Dong Zhuo's rare patience really gave Lu Bu a chance to speak.
"As far as I know, the general's soldiers and horses are all stationed in the city, and the place where I met the strongman is in Shanglin Yuan, twenty miles west of Luoyang City, and the vision is unclear at night, so I disperse the unidentified crowd and arrest the leader, waiting for interrogation and identification, there is nothing wrong with this!" Lu Bu's strong words actually made people feel that there was no fault on the side of Bingzhou.
Dong Zhuo was also a little embarrassed by Lu Bu's words, so he had to say arrogantly: "The actions of the Xiliang Army, why do you need to know? Don't talk nonsense, Ding Jianyang, I'll ask you, whether you want to let people go or not! ā
Ding Yuan didn't want to completely anger Dong Zhuo and then immediately start a war with Dong Zhuo, but he didn't want to be made too faceless, so he said: "Dong Zhongying, you and lead the troops to disperse, and when I confirm the identities of the three people, if it is really the general under your command, I will naturally let him return to the camp." ā
Dong Zhuo's goal had basically been achieved, and he was not worried about the danger of Niu Fu and the others, so he didn't ramble anymore, and really left with the forbidden army.
On the way home, Dong Zhuo asked Li Su: "Lu Fengxian, who came forward to talk to me today, is you a fellow villager of the Five Plains?" ā
Li Su hid behind Dong Zhuo just now and did not show up, so as not to be seen by people other than Lu Bu and affect his next actions. Li Su told Dong Zhuo with great certainty: "The subordinates vouched for the head of the Xiang, and the person who served Ding Yuan on the left must be an old acquaintance of the same townsman known by his subordinates!" ā
"Okay, it's up to you what to do next!"
"Don't worry, my lord, I can say that Lu Bu will vote."
Although Dong Zhuo left with thousands of menacing forbidden troops, Ding Yuan's side began to make difficulties. If he reprimands Lu Bu again, not only will it not help, but it will also make Lu Bu feel disgusted. After all, Lu Bu came back from a victory, even if there was anything wrong, at this time, as the lord, he had to help Lu Bu carry the matter, instead of accusing his subordinates of causing trouble for him.
Only the lord who is not responsible will be afraid that his subordinates will cause trouble for him outside.
Because he was very entangled in his heart, Ding Yuan didn't say anything, and entered his own big tent. Ding Yuan wanted to be quiet, don't ask who Jingjing is.
Hao Meng, as a soy sauce maker, didn't speak, and when Ding Yuan entered the big tent, he dragged Lu Bu aside, and said with some excitement: "Master Lu's book is really amazing!" Silently, he arrested the three fierce generals under Dong Zhuo's command, can you take me to see it? ā
Lu Bu looked at Hao Meng, who looked flattering, and suddenly had an idea in his heart, so he agreed to Hao Meng's request, and let his guards lead Hao Meng to Gao Shun, while he himself returned to his military tent.
Judging from Ding Yuan's reaction in the morning, Lu Bu felt that although this person was indecisive, he was really not bad, at least Ding Yuan had no intention of handing him over to calm Dong Zhuo's anger. Since he is not a bad person, if he can, Lu Bu still hopes to save Ding Yuan's life.
This has nothing to do with interests, Lu Bu just wants to save Ding Yuan.
Lu Bu had already met Dong Zhuo, and he felt that Dong Zhuo's attitude towards him was quite good at that time, and he actually patiently listened to his defense, and there was no scolding. That's a good sign. Although Dong Zhuo was brutal and unkind, that was later, and Lu Bu didn't want to offend Dong Zhuo now, because it didn't do him any good.
The best result is that it can not only save Ding Yuan, but also let Dong Zhuo give him an official position, which will be beautiful.
Thinking of this, Lu Bu couldn't help but smile bitterly, having such a good thing as a fish and a bear's paw, it seems that the original Lu Bu has never encountered it in his life, right?
