Chapter 149: Three Slaves (II)

Ma Chao sneered: "Joke, the embroidery lady is Ding Bo's father promised to the general, when did she become your woman?" And now you are secretly taking refuge in Dong Thief, everyone has their own ambitions, and they can't ask for it. But for the sake of the mere rite of the audience, you actually committed the act of killing your father in disregard of the love of father and son! Birds and beasts still know how to feed back, you Lu Bu is simply not as good as a beast! and dare to say that it will be a 'good thing' for you. ”

"The thief is looking for death!" Lu Bu was ashamed and angry, and struggled to slash out a few swords to force Zhao Yun back, and turned around to kill Ma Chao.

"Stop it!"

At this moment, there was a sudden loud shout from the crowd, but Ding Yuan didn't know when he got out of the Chinese army's tent, and walked straight to the place where the two were fighting with an expressionless face, and the sergeants avoided it one after another.

"Bongxian! The old man asked you, is what Meng Qi said just now true? ”

Lu Bu was ashamed, and shouted hard: "Ladies and gentlemen, Ding Yuan is unkind, vainly self-defeating, framing loyal ministers, and deliberately rebelling, Ben Jiang is unwilling to die for him, and wants to enter the city to join the imperial court, are you willing to go with Ben General?" ”

The soldiers were in an uproar, but Lu Bu did not deny it, obviously admitting the matter. Ding Yuan has repeatedly encountered great changes, his spirit has risen and fallen, his blood has rushed to his head, he covers his chest with one hand, and points at Lu Bu with the other hand and scolds: "The gentleman broke off his friendship, and there are no bad words, you and my father and son have been treating the old man like this for more than ten years" Speaking of this, he felt that his head was about to explode, his face was red, his eyes were bloodshot, and he fainted as soon as his eyes were dark.

Ma Chao was shocked, and immediately flew off the horse to support Ding Yuan. People around the age of 60 are most likely to have sudden cerebral thrombosis, coronary heart disease, hypertension and other cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Especially for people with high blood pressure, they must not let their emotions fluctuate, otherwise it is very easy to cause the rupture of brain capillaries, and the consequences are unimaginable.

Lu Bu didn't want to stay here for a moment, and shouted loudly: "Sons! People go to high places, water flows to low places, you and others are the elite divisions that this general brought out single-handedly, and there is only a dead end to continue to follow Ding Yuan and the court against him, why not join the court with this general, ahead of the bright road, glory and wealth are only in front of you! It's up to you to decide where to go! ”

More than 10,000 people were silent after listening to it, and now the situation is too clear, but Lu Bu obviously wants to break away from Ding Yuan and join the Ming Lord, whether to follow Lu Bu or continue to follow Ding Yuan, only in their thoughts.

After a while, Zhang Yang first stood up and shouted: "Ding Yuan attacked the capital, and his intention to rebel was clearly revealed, and he was willing to follow General Lu to make contributions!" ”

"This general is also willing to follow General Lu!" Wei Xu followed.

"I want to follow the general!" Hou Cheng, Hao Meng, and Cheng Lian also echoed.

Only Gao Shun didn't say anything, standing there motionless.

Seeing this, Lu Bu frowned and said, "Gao Shun, are you still obsessed?" Ding Yuan has no land, no stable supply of grain and grass, just a dog under He Jin, now the tree is falling and scattered, continuing to follow him will only bury his life, never come out, why not join the court with Ben and make contributions? ”

Gao Shun pondered for a long time, and suddenly said: "More than ten years ago, I Gao Shun joined the army from Xiliang, and at the beginning he was just a pawn in front of a horse, and he fought bravely in every battle regardless of life and death, and he was still a pawn in three years. Three years later, when he went out with the army to Xianbei, he was assigned to the command of Lord Ding, met the general who was still young at the time, and was also promoted and appreciated by Lord Ding. More than ten years have passed, Gao Shun started as a pawn, and gradually had today's status, step by step, with all his military exploits and blood. ”

After a pause, he continued: "I Gaoshun was born poor, I have never read or read, but my son is not ugly for his mother, and he is not poor for his dog. Thanks to the general's guidance on martial arts for many years, he is kind to Shunshi, please accept my worship, we will part ways in the future, and we will be mortal enemies when we meet on the battlefield! With that, he lifted his shirt and kowtowed three times respectfully to Lu Bu.

Lu Bu and Hou Cheng and the others were ashamed, Gao Shun's words undoubtedly scolded them for being inferior to beasts, and most of the tens of thousands of soldiers looked at them with disdain when they heard this.

Lu Bu was annoyed and angry, and the hand holding the sword trembled slightly, and he was about to burst out. Seeing that things were not good, Zhao Yun hurriedly blocked Gao Shun with an arrow step, and said disdainfully: "Lu Bu Pifu, there is a kind of let's fight for another three hundred rounds!" Dian Wei also leaned in with the double halberd in his hand, glaring at Lu Bu angrily, ready to make a move at any time.

Ma Chao didn't want to have another incident, so he handed over the unconscious Ding Yuan to his own soldiers, and took a few steps forward and said: "Life should be martyred, and death should be two Kunlun!" General Gao Shun is really a masterpiece! And the sons and daughters of the state are also well-known husbands, but they didn't expect you black sheep to come out. Ladies and gentlemen, it is really unfortunate that this scum has come out of the army, but after all, everyone has been brothers for many years, and it is really not appropriate to fight on the spot, so you are going to follow Lu Bu to be an eagle dog minions for Dong Thief? Or will they continue to serve under Lord Ding? Decide for yourself! Ben will never force it! ”

When the sergeants heard this, they immediately exploded, and after about a cup of tea, half of them stood behind Gao Shun, and about five or six thousand people stood behind Lu Bu and the others. These people are all henchmen and private soldiers of Lu Bu and others, and they can't be bewitched by a few words, and the more than 10,000 state troops were immediately divided into two groups.

Ma Chao sneered and said loudly: "Dong thief is chaotic and has the heart of usurpation, this matter is known to the world, and you and others who follow Dong Zhuo are the party of rebels." According to the rules set by the general, the families of the rebel army and thieves under his rule must take back the land and be reduced to slaves for mining for three years. Most of you are from the state clan, Ben will give you another chance to mend your ways, if you are obsessed again, Hugh blame Ben will not remind you! ”

"In addition, all the soldiers who stay behind can enjoy all the treatment of the soldiers under the command of this general. The monthly salary is at least 1,000 yuan, and the tax payment for family members is also reduced. Not only do the dead have a high pension, but their families can also be exempted from paying taxes for three to five years, and those who are seriously injured and disabled also have benefits, which can ensure that they have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives. ”

"The general is wise!"

"Follow the general to the death!"

The five or six thousand people who remained immediately cheered and were ecstatic. These elite soldiers were originally in the same team as the more than 10,000 veterans who stayed in Jinyang. But after two years of separation, the fate of the two groups was completely different, and the veterans who remained were now either in charge of managing slaves or maintaining law and order in the local area, and everyone who had the slightest ability married wives and became families. And they, the sturdy men, are far away from their homeland, wandering around, in a miserable situation, and it would be strange if their hearts were balanced!

As soon as the five or six thousand people on the opposite side heard this, some people retreated one after another, and it was useless for a few people to scold them, and in less than a stick of incense, the five or six thousand people shrank by half, and only more than two or three thousand die-hard people remained.

Lu Bu was resentful, but now that the situation has reversed, he only has more than 2,000 people in his hands, and he doesn't dare to make a mistake, and he is afraid that Ma Chao will suddenly attack and kill them, so he said angrily: "Ma Mengqi! I'm inseparable from you, let's see! Leaving down a cruel word, he yelled unwillingly: "Let's go, everything Ma Chao can give you, you can also give!" "All the soldiers listened with their left ears and their right ears, and said in their hearts that you Lu Bu is a poor bastard, what can you compare with Ma Chao who is in the land of two states, it is simply ashamed!

Ma Chao didn't plan to keep Lu Bu either, and now that the army is undecided, he may not be able to keep Lu Bu. At that moment, Ding Yuan was carried into the big tent of the Chinese army, and people were sent from nearby villages to find Lang Zhong for treatment overnight. He also ordered Gao Shun to reorganize the army and horses, count the number of people and baggage, and ordered Huang Zhong to combine the two armies in one place, and prepare to garrison the army in the West Garden after dawn.

There are thousands of houses in the West Garden, enough to house an army of 10,000. And this West Garden was originally a place for Liu Hong to enjoy, after Liu Hong's death, the palace maids, eunuchs and others here were also transferred back to the palace, leaving only a few hundred Yulin Army and a few eunuchs to stay as guards. Rather than letting Dong Zhuo burn it in the future, it is better to use it first.

However, it was said that Lu Bu, together with Li Su, Hou Cheng, Song Xian and others, led 2,000 troops to Luoyang City overnight, and the fourth watch rushed outside the city until early in the morning before entering Luoyang City. After Dong Zhuo heard the news, he immediately summoned the military officials under his command and specially held a welcoming ceremony in the mansion. As soon as he saw Lu Bu enter the door, Dong Zhuo stood up and said with great joy: "I have a general today, like a dry seedling to get nectar!" After that, he took a few steps forward and bowed down on one knee.

Lu Bu's eyes were slightly red with emotion, and he hurriedly helped Dong Zhuo up, and said urgently: "Dong Gong must not, please sit down!" After that, he personally helped Dong Zhuo to sit on the couch, took a few steps back and took a puff of his clothes, knelt down on his knees, bowed three times and then hugged his fists and said: "Lu Bu has been floating for half his life, he only hates not meeting the master, if the public does not give up, Bu is worshiped as his father-in-law!" ”

Dong Zhuo was overjoyed, and said with a smile: "I have to be the first, I am really a heavenly general!" Get up, get up! ”

Lu Bufu bowed three more times, and said with a little excitement: "The righteous father will go up again, and from now on, Bu will follow the definition father, go to the soup and go to the fire, help the righteous father, and work together for the great cause!" ”

Dong Zhuo laughed, personally helped Lu Bu up, and said with a smile: "I have Fengxian, why worry about the injustice of the world!" I immediately show you as the lieutenant general of the cavalry, and seal the warm! Give gold armor and brocade robes, and the guards are around the father! The rest were all named cavalry captains, and each brought his headquarters to garrison Luoyang on standby! ”

"Thank you to my father-in-law (Dong Gong)" Several people were added to the official ranks, and they were all overjoyed, and hurriedly thanked them!

Lu Bu hesitated for a moment, and bowed: "Father-in-law, Ding Yuan raised troops to attack the capital, plotting to rebel, Buben wanted to take Ding Yuan's head as a meeting gift, but he only hated Ma Chao's thief who expected it in advance and sent someone to spoil my big thing." Bu Jin is willing to lead 10,000 elite soldiers and take the heads of Ding Yuan and Ma Chao together and dedicate them to his father-in-law! ”

Dong Zhuo was so moved that he couldn't help but look at Li Ru for advice. Li Ruluo pondered for a while, shook his head and said: "The elite soldiers of the state are still 10,000 people, and we are nameless, I am afraid that we will not be able to win!" At this time, the lord should speed up the abolition of the establishment, and then coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, not afraid that Ma Chao will not withdraw his troops. In addition, after a while, the Flying Bear Army, Qiang soldiers and other Xiliang elite soldiers of the Lord can also rush to Luoyang, what is the situation of only 10,000 and state troops? ”

"Wen You's words are very much in line with my intentions!" Dong Zhuo nodded and said: "Fengxian my son, it is clear that you will lead a thousand armor soldiers to support your father, and I want to discuss the abolition of the establishment again, if there is anyone who does not obey, they will be killed!"
