However, Ding Yuan dared to give such an order to Dong Zhuo, and naturally he also relied on it. He stationed 5,000 troops in Hanoi County, all of whom were brave and brave. Now that Ding Yuan has entered Beijing to take up his post, he has been ordered by the general and has brought 3,000 elites to take office. What's more, in Ding Yuan's army, there are fierce generals like Lu Bu, and another general, Zhang Liao, is also about to complete the recruitment task and return to Luoyang.

With these basic teams in his hands, coupled with the law and righteousness of the imperial court, Ding Yuan didn't believe that he would not be able to suppress Dong Zhuo, a military ruffian.

Unless, Dong Zhuo wants to rebel!

Ding Yuan's suppression of Dong Zhuobu went very smoothly. With the "10,000 enemies" Lu Bu as the vanguard, and under the pretext of Ming Zheng military discipline, Jin Wuding's original name began to investigate and punish Dong Zhuo's department from the east of the city, and whether there was any violation of the military discipline of the Han Dynasty.

The Liangzhou Army is very capable of fighting, but it is definitely not a strict division that abides by military discipline. Ding Yuan didn't even need to fabricate charges, as long as he investigated and dealt with impartially, he could easily crucify many Liangzhou soldiers to death on various charges of stealing chickens and dogs.

Ding Yuan's army was menacing, Dong Zhuo's army had not yet entered Luoyang, and in the face of Zhi Jinwu, who had taken up all the legal principles, he did not dare to openly turn his face, and he was caught off guard for a while. In the blink of an eye, Ding Yuan's momentum was actually above Dong Zhuo!

In the face of Ding Yuan's strength, the officers and soldiers of Luoyang, who originally wanted to take refuge in Dong Zhuo, began to wait and see. Some guys who saw the opportunity quickly even directly changed their camp.

First of all, Wu Kuang, the general of He Jin's department, saw this momentum and decisively broke away from Dong Zhuo and switched to Ding Yuan. Then there was the son-in-law of the long-dead eunuch Cao Jie [not Cao Cao's grandfather], Feng Fang, the right lieutenant of the Xiyuan Army, who also took the opportunity to turn his back on Dong Zhuo. For a while, Ding Yuan coerced the connections and residual power of the late general He Jin, which made Dong Zhuo feel overwhelmed.

It's a pity that Ding Yuan can deal with Dong Zhuo, but he can't resist the counterattack of the person behind Dong Zhuo.

saw Dong Zhuo retreating. At the critical moment, Taifu Yuan Kui finally made a move. He did not impeach Ding Yuan with great fanfare, but secretly "invited" an edict from the Son of Heaven and sent Li Su, a native of Wuyuan County, who was now a Lang official, to his fellow townsman, Bo Lubu, the commander of Ding Yuan's army.

Of course, Li Su didn't know a big guy like Taifu Yuan Kui. However, he is a former Yuzhou assassin. He is currently the former official of Yin Wangyun in Henan. is also a native of Bingzhou, Wang Yun is an idol-level figure for the rest of the fellow countrymen. When Taifu Yuan Kui needed someone who knew Lu Bu to stabilize Lu Bu, Wang Yun recommended Li Su.

The edict that Yuan Kui handed over to Li Su was an edict of appointment. To put it simply, in the name of the Son of Heaven, Lu Bu was appointed as the commander of the cavalry.

Although this edict is simple, it contains meaning. But it's not that simple.

Lu Bu is currently Ding Yuan's main secretary. The so-called master book refers to the official who is in charge of the official book and account book. This position is generally only available to the cronies of the chief officer. However, for a fierce general like Lu Bu, the position of master is definitely not a position that he is suitable for.

Originally, Ding Yuan still admired Lu Bu a lot. However, since that time, Lu Bu followed the Taixing army to attack the Meiji royal court. Ding Yuan's attitude towards Lu Bu became lukewarm. The reason for this is that when Ding Yuan attacked Lu Bu in Taixing, he was attacked by Yu Fuluoqi. Standing on the side of the Taixing army, he was extremely dissatisfied with the killing of Yu Fuluo.

In Ding Yuan's thinking, although the Taixing Army has the skin of an official army, its essence is still a group of rebellious moth thieves. In contrast, although Yu Fuluo was a Xiongnu, he was a loyal supporter of the Han court.

If Uvro can be in this surprise attack. Killing the head of the Taixing Army in one fell swoop is arrogant, not to mention that the Taixing Army will collapse from now on, at least it will lose most of its strength. And Yu Fuluo, as a Southern Xiongnu Shan Yu with a deferential attitude towards the Han court, once he regained control of the Southern Xiongnu troops, he would never be like the current Taixing army. From the two directions of Hedong and Hanoi, there is a faint threat to Luoyang, the imperial capital of the Han Dynasty.

So after Lu Bu made the move to help the Taixing army fight against Yu Luofu, Ding Yuan's evaluation of him had an extra label of "unknown righteousness". In this case, in order to prevent Lu Bu from doing something inappropriate without knowing the depths, Ding Yuan simply removed Lu Bu from his military position and replaced him as the main secretary, wanting Lu Bu to be familiar with the official documents of the imperial court and clarify the position he should occupy.

It should be said that this arrangement is not bad for Lu Bu. As a cavalry lieutenant with a rank of more than 2,000 stones, Ding Yuan's lord Bo also has a rank of 600 stones. As for the "Zhijin Wu" of 2,000 stones in the rank, the main thin Yu Lu has been promoted to the rank of 1,000 stones.

It's just that letting a super fierce general like Lu Bu at the level of "10,000 enemies" do the clerical work of those civil officials is tantamount to killing chickens in the kitchen with a sniper rifle. Although Lu Bu is qualified for these text requirements, he is not willing to do such boring work.

It was at this time that Li Su appeared in front of Lu Bu as a fellow villager, and took out this edict appointing him as the captain of the cavalry in a very targeted manner.

The difference between a private official with a rank of 1,000 yuan and a regular court official with a rank of 2,000 stone is like changing from a private enterprise with a monthly income of 2,000 yuan to a state civil servant with a monthly income of 4,000 yuan.

In the face of such a temptation, but I don't know how many people can refuse?

Lu Bu couldn't easily refuse this kind of good thing. However, he did not easily agree. If Lu Bu accepted this edict, it would mean that he took the initiative to break away from Ding Yuan's camp. Thinking of Ding Yuan's promotion and cultivation of himself in the past year, Lu Bu was embarrassed to leave Ding Yuan in such a critical period.

However, at this moment, Li Su raised a key question that left Lu Bu speechless.

Although Li Su was born in Bingzhou, he also practiced martial arts, but he looked like a scribe. He asked Lu Bu directly:

"Brother Fengxian, do you want to be loyal to the country, or do you just want to be a private minister of a martial artist? Could it be that the conquest of the Son of Heaven is not as good as your personal relationship with Ding Jinwu? ”

At that time, although the Han suffered from the Yellow Turban Rebellion and the Qiang Rebellion, its strength was damaged, but its prestige was still there. For those who were born in the border areas, their feelings about the prestige of the Han Dynasty are more intuitive and more concerned than those of Neijun. This phenomenon is like more cents at home, but more than five cents abroad. As soon as Li Su raised the name of the Son of Heaven, he immediately impressed the hesitant Lu Bu.

"I am willing to die for the Son of Heaven!"

Lu Bu knelt down on one knee and solemnly accepted the edict of the Son of Heaven. And this action immediately became the fuse for Ding Yuan's downfall.

After luring Lu Bu, who was the best player under Ding Yuan, Dong Zhuo immediately attacked while Ding Yuan had not yet reacted. With the support of Taifu Yuan Kui, he led his elite thousands of people to attack the official residence of Zhijingo. Ding Yuan's subordinates along the way, but anyone who wanted to stop them was said by Li Su, who was holding the edict of the Son of Heaven:

"The Son of Heaven has an edict, Ding Yuan indiscriminately reported the side merits, embezzled military salaries, and handed over to the division to be imprisoned!"

These heroes from the state often retreat timidly.

It can be seen that in the hearts of some bigwigs of the imperial court, the imperial court is nothing more than a tool in their hands; But in the hearts of those warriors who fought bloodily to defend the Han Dynasty, the majesty of the court could not be offended!

When Ding Yuan heard the charges announced in public, he realized that he had lost all the games this time.

If Dong Zhuo came to attack the official residence of Zhijinwu under other banners, Ding Yuan would naturally be able to call on his subordinates to fight by force. However, when the Son of Heaven issued an edict to punish him for the crime of embezzling military salaries and depriving his subordinates of their merits, except for the extremely loyal iron, there were few soldiers on Ding Yuan's side who were willing to take action for this.

In Ding Yuanjun's army, these things mentioned in the edict did not happen less. Since Ding Yuan is the general's subordinate, how can Ding Yuan refuse if some of the general's cronies and nephews want a few heads to take the risk?

For example, the hundreds of heads that Lu Bu brought back from the Meiji Royal Court last time ended up with less than half of the credit that fell on Lu Bu and his party. Most of the first level finally became the entry level of a few He disciples who were far away in Luoyang. There was only a few points left in the end for the hard work of his family, which was another reason why Lu Bu finally chose to leave Ding Yuan.

At this moment, in Ding Yuan's heart, there was another detail that made him more and more desperate. That is:

- Where is Lu Bu?!

Ding Yuan thinks that he is Lu Bu's benefactor, and his kindness to Lu Bu is higher than the sky and deeper than the sea, and he is definitely treated as a "national soldier". With Lu Bu's force, not to mention anything else, it is still possible to protect Ding Yuan from the official residence of Zhijinwu and break out of the encirclement.

However, at such a critical moment, Lu Bu suddenly disappeared from the official residence of Zhijinwu. This fact made Ding Yuan feel a deep sense of betrayal.

-- Others are just fine. But Lu Bu didn't come forward at this moment, it was disloyalty and injustice!

So, before Ding Yuan felt that the general trend was gone, and he didn't want to be escorted to prison and humiliated by Dong Zhuo's people, and committed suicide in anger, he scolded Lu Bu in front of the soldiers around him, "Ungrateful and traitorous for glory!" ”。

This sentence was spread by well-intentioned people in the court, and in the end, it turned out that Lu Bu was fighting for the position, so he betrayed the late master Ding Jianyang, and only then did he get the position of cavalry lieutenant given by Dong Zhuo. There are even some people who are afraid of Lu Bu's martial arts, and directly fabricate Lu Bu's identity as Ding Yuan's righteous son, and also said that Ding Jianyang's death was Lu Bu himself who copied the knife and cut off Ding Yuan's head with one sword.

These slanderous words not only made the party Lu Bu half angry, but also was written into the anthology by some boring literati and passed on to future generations, becoming the origin of Lu Bu's so-called title of "three family slaves".

However, the ministers who have personally experienced these changes do not have too bad an evaluation of Lu Bu's character. Especially the former general Dong Zhuo, because he cherished Lu Bu's martial arts, and felt that everyone was from the border, with a common background and experience, and worked hard to bring Lu Bu into his camp.

For this reason, Dong Zhuo specially gave his beloved "Chisuo" BMW to Lu Bu as a sign of friendship. And this "red drum" BMW that was sent out, after leaving the feeling of "Lu Bu among the people, red dzu among the horses" to the people of Luoyang, was recorded in the anthology by some boring literati, which became another powerful evidence of Lu Bu's betrayal of Ding Jianyuan. (To be continued......)

PS: PS: In "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", because Dong Zhuo is a traitor, Ding Yuan, who opposes him, is a great loyal minister. However, the truth is by no means so simple. Since this book was written by the author, it is not impossible to stuff some speculative private goods into it, right?
