Chapter 012: The Night of the Rebellion
Although Li Su did not complete the task assigned by Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo did not blame Li Su in the end, after all, he not only lost nothing when he went to see Lu Bu this time, but also brought back a Fang Tian painting halberd to Dong Zhuo. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
After Li Su and the others withdrew, Dong Zhuo called Li Ru over, pointed to the Fang Tian painting halberd on the case and asked Li Ru: "Wen Wei, in your opinion, Lu Feng first asked Li Su to bring back this painting halberd, what is the intention?" ”
Li Ru thought for a moment and replied: "Fang Tian's painting halberd is a weapon that Lu Fengxian has been using, looking at this workmanship and material, it must be extraordinary, and the money wasted when it was built must be a lot of money." Such a valuable weapon is equivalent to the life of a martial artist, but now Lu Fengxian resolutely gave it up, and the meaning he wanted to convey had at least two layers. ”
"Oh? I don't know what the two meanings are? ”
First, he was showing weakness to the lord and expressing his intention to confront the lord. Second, he is also announcing his goodwill to the lord, although he is unwilling to kill Ding Yuan, but he gives this divine soldier to the lord, isn't he saying that he is willing to serve the lord when he has the opportunity? ”
Li Ru's speculation is reasonable. It's just that he would never have thought that Lu Bu was because the balance of Fang Tian's halberd was too poor and too bulky, so he took it out as a prop for casting smoke screens. If Fang Tian's painting halberd really had the legendary force bonus effect, he would not give it away if he killed Lu Bu.
From this point of view, Lu Fengxian is not only brave, but also very flexible. I want to get this person, I don't know if there is a follow-up strategy? ”
"Don't worry, my lord, this matter is easy." Li Ru whispered to Dong Zhuo, and Dong Zhuo bowed his head again and again, showing a knowing smile.
Li Ru's suggestion is not complicated, but it is definitely ruthless.
Since Lu Bu refused to kill Ding Yuan, he bribed other generals under Ding Yuan to kill Ding Yuan. Not everyone is as loyal as Lu Bu, and not everyone cares about reputation as much as Lu Bu. As long as Ding Yuan dies, Lu Bu will become an ownerless person, and with the attitude he is showing now, it will be a matter of course to collect Lu Bu when the time comes.
There is another advantage to this, in addition, the person who killed Ding Yuan, although he has a bad reputation, is also equivalent to handing over a letter of surrender to Dong Zhuo, so he will also be reused by Dong Zhuo. This person will be able to restrain Lu Bu in the future and prevent Lu Bu from controlling and connecting with the state alone, which is also beneficial to Dong Zhuo.
When Dong Zhuo, Li Ru and others were plotting against Ding Yuan and Lu Bu, Lu Bu was not idle. He secretly made contact with the middle and low-level officers in the Bingzhou battalion, and because of the previous change of equipment, Lu Bu won the favor of the vast majority of the Bingzhou soldiers. Although Ding Yuan later learned about Lu Bu's approach, he did not embarrass and delve into it, after all, Lu Bu did this in order to strengthen the soldiers and horses, and there was no harm to him Ding Yuan.
Although some of the things that Lu Bu has done recently are a little out of line, Ding Yuan did not feel any objection from Lu Bu. If Lu Bu wanted to betray him, how could he persuade him to withdraw from Luoyang as soon as possible, and how could he attack the station of the Xiliang army? Isn't this tantamount to self-defeat?
Ding Yuan's trust in Lu Bu has not changed. He didn't know that it was this trust that made Lu Bu firm in his determination to save his life. This is a fool's luck, right?
Hou Cheng, who had already devoted himself to the cause of secret intelligence agents, had to quietly report many things to Lu Bu every day, and these information were collected from all corners of Luoyang City according to Lu Bu's instructions. Among these intelligences, Lu Bu paid the most attention to two aspects: the distance between the main force of the Western Liang Army and Luoyang, and who the general Hao Meng was contacting and meeting with in private.
There is not much time left for Lu Bu, he is like dancing on the tip of a needle, walking a tightrope on a cliff, and if he is not careful, he will make wedding clothes for others if he is not careful.
On this day, Lu Bu received an urgent report from Hou Cheng that the Xiliang army was less than twenty miles away from Luoyang, and they could enter the city at night. Lü Bu hurriedly met Ding Yuan and once again put forward a proposal to withdraw from Luoyang, but Ding Yuan firmly believed that Dong Zhuo would not dare to start a war in Luoyang City, and still did not adopt Lü Bu's suggestion.
That day and night, the Xiliang army entered the city from the Shangxi Gate, Yongmen and Guangyang Gate on the west side of Luoyang. At the same time, a rebellion broke out in the camp near Gumen.
In the middle of the night, Hao Meng made his subordinates set fire to the arsenal, and the fire burned and disrupted the battalions. As soon as Ding Yuan died, the camp in Bingzhou was completely chaotic, most of the soldiers rushed out of the valley gate, and Ding Yuan's henchmen besieged Hao Meng, and Hao Meng was cut into three before he could escape. The main bookkeeper, Lü Bu, gathered the remnants in the chaos, forcibly suppressed the rebellious soldiers of the battalions, and finally calmed down the chaos before dawn, and Lü Bu himself was seriously injured.
When Dong Zhuo personally led his troops to surround the Bingzhou camp, all he saw was chaos. The originally noisy Bingzhou camp was already empty, and there were less than 2,000 soldiers left in the camp, and Lu Bu, who was covered in blood, was placed on the door panel and carried in front of Dong Zhuo.
Seeing this scene in front of him, Dong Zhuo's heart was about to break! Nima, more than 10,000 elite soldiers in the state, where have they gone now? Hao Meng, you are a knife, but you are just asking you to kill Ding Yuan, you give Lao Tzu such a result! Lu Bu, I'm really sorry, you gave me all the Fang Tian Painting Halberd, and I didn't say hello to you beforehand, causing you to be so seriously injured this time.
Without waiting for Dong Zhuo to speak, Lu Bu, who had a weak breath, reported to Dong Zhuo: "Former General Qiqi, there was a mutiny in the headquarters last night, and when the arsenal was on fire, General Hao Meng killed the main general Ding Jianyang, and then was besieged and killed by Ding's henchmen. In the midst of the chaos, Bu could only gather hundreds of parts and forcibly suppress the rebellion. ”
While Lu Bu was speaking, there was a part of Li Hei who offered Hao Meng's head.
"Bu is incompetent, he failed to snatch the body of Captain Ding Du in the chaos, and he asked the former general for forgiveness." Lu Bu pleaded guilty to Dong Zhuo, which sounded a little weird.
Dong Zhuo looked at Hao Meng's head, and his heart was mixed. Now that Ding Yuan is dead, Hao Meng has not taken advantage of it, and only one or two thousand people behind Lu Bu have escaped from the state's soldiers and horses, and no one can restrain and threaten him, but he can't be happy. That's not what he wanted!
Although Dong Zhuo was a little disappointed in his heart, Lu Bu was still there, and it was comforting to be able to get such a tiger general. He comforted Lu Bu and said: "Fengxian doesn't have to blame himself, although there was a rebellion in the camp of Bingzhou, it did not affect the people in the city, and you only have merit in this matter." Now that the people in the city are panicking, you can recuperate with peace of mind, gather people's hearts, and stick to the camp. ”
After Dong Zhuo finished speaking, he saw Li Su walking over with a red rabbit horse, carrying a wooden box on one side of the horse, and Lu Bu's Fang Tian painting halberd on the other side.
"Fengxian, today Fang Tian's halberd is returned to the original owner, this red rabbit BMW is the lord's beloved thing, and it is also given to you, I hope you will recover soon, hold the halberd and go on the horse, and serve the lord!"
Lu Bu looked moved, and wanted to get down from the door panel to salute Dong Zhuo, but Dong Zhuo was choked.
"Feng Xian's intentions have long been known, and there is no need to be vain!"
Lu Bu looked up at Dong Zhuo, who had thick eyebrows and big eyes and a concerned face, and his mood was a little complicated.
