Ding Yuan looked at Lu Bu's sincere eyes, shook his head slowly, and said, "Fengxian, you don't know that people's hearts are sinister. Did you really trust you so much when Dong Zhuo asked you to lead your troops to attack Yu? He is testing you, and if you can cut off someone's head, he will surely trust you in the future. If not, your Lu Fengxian's head will fall to the ground! ”

Listening to Ding Yuan's words, Lu Bu's face changed, and then he returned to normal, and said loudly: "The big husband acts, but he has a clear conscience. Since Lu Bu promised to release the assassination three times, he will never regret it! ”

Listening to the conversation between Ding Yuan and Lu Bu, Gao Shun and other Ding Yuan's subordinates no longer hated Lu Bu, but became inexplicably sad. Lu Bu's prestige, these people are also admired, knowing that Ding Yuan and Lu Bu are going to die today, these people's hearts are suddenly filled with sadness.

"That's it, Fengxian, treat you like a son, although he has not officially accepted you as a righteous son, but he is no different from a parent. Today, a certain will be fulfilled with you, and I hope you will be kind to the soldiers of the state. After speaking, Ding Yuan suddenly pulled out his saber and wiped it his neck, and the blood immediately splattered out with Ding Yuan's movements, and then the placket on his chest.

"Thorn History!" Seeing this, Lu Bu was shocked, walked over quickly, and stretched out his hand to support Ding Yuan's body.

When he was about to die, Ding Yuan glanced back at Gao Shun and the others, and said in a low voice: "From ...... From now on, wait for ...... Obey the order of the first, and do not ...... violated the ......" before a word was finished, Ding Yuan died of anger.

Gao Shun and the others were grief-stricken, and they fell to their knees and cried in low voices.

After a while, Li Ru broke the two wings of the Bingzhou military camp, led the army over, and saw that Ding Yuan was dead, and looked at Lu Bu with a smile: "Congratulations to Wen Hou for making such a great achievement, and there will be a heavy reward from the Taishi." ”

Lu Bu stood up holding Ding Yuan's corpse, looked at Li Ru coldly, and his voice seemed to carry a thousand years of ice: "Ding Tingshi treated a certain person like a son, but now he was forced to die by a certain person, and killed his father for the son of man, how happy." Then, Lu Bu turned his head, looked at Gao Shun who was kneeling on the ground, and said, "Gao Shun, pass on the order of a certain general, and the state army will give up resistance and concentrate all of them on the Chinese army." Whoever dares to use a sword against the sergeant of Bingzhou again will be killed! ”

These words are not only an order to Gao Shun, but also to tell Li Ru that the state army has been received by me Lu Bu, and if you dare to kill one person without permission, this matter is not over! As smart as Li Ru, he naturally heard what Lu Bu meant, and smiled without answering. Judging from today's events, Lu Bu really joined Dong Zhuo wholeheartedly, and even Ding Yuan, who treated him like a son, was forced to die, which is enough to prove Lu Bu's loyalty to Dong Zhuo. As for those merging state troops, if they don't kill them, they won't kill them, and leave them to Lu Bu, so that they can also indirectly increase Dong Zhuo's strength.

In the early morning, all the Bingzhou troops lined up in the middle camp, they were grateful to Lu Bu and stopped the large-scale slaughter of the Xiliang sergeants, led by Gao Shun and other generals, who had already acquiesced in Lu Bu's leadership.

Lu Bu put Ding Yuan's body in the pyre that had been prepared for a long time, and then silently lit a torch and lit the pyre. A raging fire rose and began to burn Ding Yuan's body. Lu Bu turned his head and looked up at the sky, with two heroic tears in the corner of his eyes.

In the camp of the coalition army, Ao Lie has received the news that Bao Xin, the prime minister of Jibei, did not respect the order and sent troops privately, but was ambushed by Hua Xiong, Bao Xin and his brother Bao Zhong have been beheaded by Hua Xiong, and the heads of the two were hung by Hua Xiong on the wall of the Tiger Prison Pass to deter the coalition army.

At this moment, Ao Lie's face was gloomy. He never expected that Bao Xin, as a prince all the way, was not even as good as ordinary soldiers, and he couldn't even abide by such simple military regulations as ordering and prohibiting, not to mention giving up his life in vain, and it also hit the morale of the coalition army a lot.

"All the princes have seen and heard it, Benhou originally thought that the princes were all the way to the princes, and there was no need to impose some rules and regulations to restrain the princes, but now, Jibei Prime Minister Bao Xin sent troops privately, resulting in the loss of our army and the loss of morale, it seems that Benhou, the leader of the alliance, should customize some rules." Ao Lie said in a deep voice to all the princes present.

Turning his head to look at Zhao Yun, Ao Lie handed Zhao Yun a look. Zhao Yun understood, took two steps forward, and said loudly: "Youzhou Army Commander." One: If the drum does not advance, and the gold does not retreat, it will be chopped; Two: Those who can't afford to raise the flag, and those who don't bow down according to the flag, will be chopped; Three: If you can't call your name, you will be beheaded if you can't call it...... Nine: The sword and gun are unfavorable, and the flag is unknown, behead! This is the army's order to ban nine and eighteen beheadings. ”

Zhao Yunnian's military order was evolved by Ao Lie according to Sun Quan's fifty-four beheadings in later history, and in the original fifty-four beheadings, more human touches were added, some mistakes that crimes were not caused by death, and some prohibitions were specially set to maintain Sun Quan's dignity. The reason why the Youzhou army is strict in military discipline and brave in fighting is inseparable from the means of Ao Lie's envy, and the majestic side is the restraint and strict implementation of the nine prohibitions and eighteen beheadings.

When Zhao Yun finished reading the military order, Ao Lie's slightly cold voice sounded: "From today on, the military order will be implemented in the coalition army, and violators will not be spared!" ”

Cao Cao stood up and said, "That's right! As the saying goes, if the order does not work, the ban will not stop! If our army does not have strict military discipline, how can we talk about saving the Son of Heaven and punishing the country's thieves! Cao Cao's words directly raised the height of the problem to the extent of rescuing the Son of Heaven, so that others could not shirk.

After the anger, Ao Lie's attitude calmed down again, and said gently: "Princess, it's not the dictatorship of Benhou, it's really that the current situation is too grim, and the whereabouts of the Son of Heaven are still unknown. ”

Everyone was also quite touched in their hearts because of Bao Xin's matter, so most of them expressed their support for the military order issued by Ao Lie, and even if they had the heart to refute a minority like Yuan Shu, they could not stop it, so they could only acquiesce.

Subsequently, Ao Lie rectified the coalition army, sent troops to the Tiger Pass, and joined the vanguard Sun Jian. Ao Lie unexpectedly found that Sun Jian had a sad look on his face, and only after asking did he know that after Hua Xiong beheaded the two brothers Bao Xin and Bao Zhong last night, he actually marched fifty miles overnight and attacked Sun Jian's camp. Now Zu Mao's head, like Bao Xin and Bao Zhong's brothers, is hung on the head of the city of Tiger Prison.

Overnight, he beheaded three generals of the coalition army, and Hua Xiong's bravery and the use of troops made most of the princes fearful. Ao Lie looked around, knowing in his heart that these princes, who were usually pampered and well-treated, would inevitably feel afraid when faced with the threat of death, so he said loudly: "Who dares to kill Huaxiong to raise the prestige of our army?" ”

Yuan Shu thought to himself that this was a good time to make a name for himself, and signaled his subordinates to the generals with his eyes. Yu She, the general of Yuan Shu's subordinates, came out of the crowd and said, "The last general is willing to go and kill that Huaxiong." At the same time, Pan Feng, the general under Jizhou Mu Hanfu, also stood up and said: "The last general is also willing to fight!" ”

Seeing that these two were going to fight, Ao Lie was very unhappy in his heart. In history, these two people were cut off by Hua Xiong in three moves and two styles without any suspense, which shows that the martial arts of the two of them are far from Hua Xiong. If, as in history, these two people have gone and never returned, it is a big setback to the morale of the coalition forces; But if he did not agree to the second general's invitation to fight, Ao Lie was worried that it would discourage the enthusiasm of the generals and cause more negative impacts.

Just as Ao Lie was hesitating, a junior colonel came to report: "Report! Three people and three horsemen came from outside the camp, declaring that they had come to participate in the righteous act and to make meritorious contributions. ”

Here it comes! Liu Bei is here! Ao Lie immediately guessed that the person who came must be the three brothers Liu Guan and Zhang. With Liu Bei's heart, how could he not come with such a good chance to get his life?

"Invite them into the camp." Ao Lie said.

Soon, the three of them slowly walked into the camp, it was the three brothers Liu Guan and Zhang. The three have very different personalities, but they are all extraordinary. Liu Bei walked in front with his sword, and Guan Zhang each held the Qinglong Yanyue Knife and the Zhangba Snake Spear, and followed closely behind Liu Bei.

Ao Lie stood up, greeted Liu Bei and the others, and said politely: "It turned out to be Xuande Gong, please take a seat." With that, he pulled Liu Bei, who turned over and dismounted, and walked towards the big tent.

After entering the big tent, Ao Lie let go of Liu Bei's arm and walked back to the seat of the alliance leader. For Liu Bei, Ao Lie didn't like it in his heart, not to mention anything else, just because when he was besieged in Feiru City before, Liu Bei left Gongsun Zhan without saying a word and fled with Guan Zhang, which made Ao Lie's sense of Liu Bei plummet, and those who escaped from the battle, if they were punished according to the nine prohibitions and eighteen beheadings ordered by the army, it was enough to be beheaded. However, after all, after Liu Bei is the king of Zhongshan, no matter whether his identity as a clan member of the Han family is true or not, Ao Lie's respect for Liu Bei's face still needs to be there. Besides, although Liu Bei is not liked by Ao Lie, but Ao Lie likes the pair of brothers behind Liu Bei very much, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are fierce generals, which monarch doesn't like it when he sees it? Even if it was just for the sake of closing the two of them, Ao Lie couldn't snub Liu Bei.

After sitting down, Ao Lie said loudly: "From now on, our coalition army will add another road of princes, that is, after King Jing of Zhongshan, Liu Bei and Liu Xuande." ”

Dian Wei, who was guarding behind Ao Lie, walked over and moved a chair for Liu Bei. It stands to reason that although Liu Bei has the reputation of being a relative of the Han family, after all, he has not been recognized by Liu Hong or Liu Xie, and now he has no official position, which is really not enough to be called a prince all the way, but since Ao Lie has recognized Liu Bei's status, it is not easy for others to say anything.

Liu Bei's face turned red, and with his brazen kung fu, he was still a little ashamed of what Ao Lie said. At the beginning, in order to maintain his own strength, he did not hesitate to turn against Gongsun Chan and fled from Feiru privately, but now he is taking advantage of the powerful alliance of princes from all walks of life to come to gain prestige, which is really a bit disgraceful to say.

Liu Bei could still endure this humiliation, but Guan Yu and Zhang Fei couldn't bear it anymore. At the beginning, the two of them didn't want to escape from Feiru, but they couldn't stand Liu Bei's bitter words and crying bitterly, so they reluctantly led troops to protect Liu Bei and escaped, and wandered around outside for a while, when they heard that the princes of the Eighteenth Road gathered together and were ready to crusade against Dong Zhuo, Liu Bei became active again, and he had to bring troops to participate in the alliance, but everyone was a prince from all walks of life, and this brother didn't even have an official position, Liu Bei was just a small plain county order before he gave up his official position, why should he be on an equal footing with the princes?

Unexpectedly, after they came, Ao Lie was as respectful as ever, which made Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's strong self-esteem appeased, and let the two of them know that Ao Lie did not look down on them because of their escape, but also promoted Liu Bei to the position of a prince all the way.

But it is useless, Ao Lie salutes this brother out of duty, Liu Bei is thick-skinned, and he just blushes a little and accepts it, but Guan Yu and Zhang Fei can't accept it. At that moment, Guan Yu strode out, squinted a pair of Danfeng eyes, and said loudly: "I'm waiting for the third brother to come here for the first time, and I have no size. I feel uneasy. Guan is willing to fight Huaxiong and take his head to sacrifice Bao Jibei's spirit in the sky. ”
