Chapter Ninety-One: Descending Lu Bu
Li Su said: "During the day, I saw my brother showing his might, and I couldn't help but feel excited that I was looking for my brother." ”
Lu Bu said strangely: "Oh, how could the virtuous brother see Brother Wei today?" ”
Li Su said with a smile: "Su is now serving under Dong Gong, and he is currently serving as the general of the Tiger Ben Zhonglang, so he is seeing his brother's majesty." ”
Lu Bu heard it and responded a little lonely.
When Li Su saw it, he immediately said: "With Su's talent, he can also be appointed as the general of Hu Benzhonglang, my brother's martial arts can be described as unparalleled in the world, if he is put under the command of Dong Gong, the high position he will get will definitely be far above Su." ”
When Lu Bu heard this, he glared at Li Su and said, "You are here to descend Dong Zhuo." ”
Li Su was not afraid, stared at Lu Bu and said: "Brother's martial arts are unparalleled in the world, Ding Yuan is incompetent, and he treats his brother as a civil servant, but he buries his brother. After speaking, he took out gold, pearls, jade belts and other things, and said: "This is Dong Gong's mind, there is a famous horse outside, called Red Rabbit, which can travel thousands of miles a day. After speaking, he slapped his palms three times, and Li Su's entourage immediately led Chitu into Lu Bu's tent.
Lu Bu looked towards the tent door, but saw a horse and a horse covered in coals, as red as coals, without half a stray hair; From head to tail, one zhang long; From hoof to neck, eight feet high; Screaming and roaring, it looks like it has soared into the sea. Li Su saw Lu Bu looking at Chitu with a look of longing in his eyes, and naturally knew that Lu Bu was very fond of this horse, so he immediately said: "Dong Gong's love for his brother is fully revealed, and my brother still has a high position to wait for Dong Gong, I don't know what my brother thinks?" ”
When Lu Bu heard this, he shook his head and said: "Ding Yuan is my father, and he has always treated me very well, and I can't bear to abandon him." ”
Li Su heard it, but said: "Brother's words are wrong, my brother's surname is Lu, Ding Yuan's surname is Ding, how can Ding Yuan be my brother's father?" Moreover, Ding Yuan knew that his brother's martial arts were unparalleled in the world, but he regarded his brother as a civil servant, and thought that Ding Yuan was jealous of his brother's talent, and he didn't want his brother to lead the troops to fight and make great contributions. ”
Lu Bu was silent after hearing this, but Li Su added to the fire and said: "Guan Wu Lord Dong Gong, since entering Luoyang, he first saved the Son of Heaven and Chen Liuwang's car. At the time of chaos in Luoyang City, the law and order in the city were rectified, so that the people would not suffer from the chaos of war. Then he promoted the world's famous scholars and Confucians, Lu Zhi, Cai Yong, Xun Shuang and others all achieved high positions in the court because of Dong Gong's recommendation. If the elder brother abandons Ding Yuan and helps Dong Gong, Dong Gong will let his brother lead the army to defeat Zhuhu, and then the elder brother will be able to achieve immortal deeds, just like Wei and Huo Keqing will be famous in history. ”
Lu Bu was silent for a long time after hearing this, and then said: "Then why does Dong Gong want to talk about the abolition of the establishment today, isn't it a big rebellion?" ”
When Li Su heard this, he smiled and said: "Dong Gong's abolition is an edict to respect the first emperor, and the first emperor likes King Chen Liu, and the world knows it, but why King Chen Liu can't ascend the throne." However, it was He Jin and his sister who changed the edict of the first emperor and let the prince argue that he would ascend the throne and become the emperor. Now that Dong Gong is abolishing the establishment, he is actually acting in accordance with the edict of the first emperor, and there is nothing wrong with it, and Chen Liuwang is smart, if he ascends the throne with the assistance of Dong Gong, he can become a generation of Ming monarchs. ”
After hearing this, Lu Bu was silent for a moment, then sighed and said: "What Brother Xian said is reasonable, so leave a letter for my brother and follow Brother Xian to see Gong Dong." ”
Just as Lu Bu was about to take the pen, ink and silk cloth, Li Su stopped him and said: "Brother, don't worry, brother is seeing Dong Gong for the first time, why don't you offer a gift of advancement?" ”
Lu Bu heard it and said strangely: "The gift of entering the body? ”
Li Su said in a deep voice: "Ding Yuan's head." ”
Lu Bu heard the case and looked at Li Su angrily and said, "You want to trap me in injustice? ”
Li Su shook his head and said: "Brother's words are wrong, Su thinks that Ding Yuan should be a thief of the country, and he will get rid of thieves for the country, so how can he say that it is unjust." ”
When Lu Bu heard this, he said: "Although Ding Yuan treats a certain person badly, why is he called a national thief?" ”
Li Su said with a smile: "Brother, don't worry, sit down and listen to Su carefully." Lu Bu sat down according to his words, but Li Su said: "He Jin and his sister changed the edict of the first emperor for their own selfish interests, so that the prince argued and ascended the throne, He Jin can be called a thief of the country?" ”
Lu Bu nodded when he heard this, and Li Su continued: "And Ding Yuan was He Jin's confidant in the past, and now Ding Yuan doesn't want Dong Gongzun's edict to change the edict of Emperor Chen Liuwang to be the emperor, isn't he a national thief." ”
Lu Bu heard it, but said: "The abolition of the establishment of the theory, each has its own words, and there are many dark flavors in it, which is not yet known. ”
Li Su heard it, but said: "Let's put aside such a matter of abolition for the time being. Su Wen that Ding Yuan sent troops in Bingzhou on the same day, and when he crossed the Yellow River, he forcibly requisitioned the people's boats, during which the people did not allow it, and clashed with the army, Ding Yuan ordered the people who refused to be recruited by the army to kill them, but there was such a thing? ”
Lu Bu heard it and nodded silently. Li Su said: "Ding Yuan is far away in Bingzhou, and he received He Jin's letter with Dong Gong, why Ding Yuan is farther than Dong Highway and the army arrives earlier than Dong Gong, but it is caused by Ding Yuan's brutality and forced conscription of the people's ships, in order to go to Beijing as soon as possible and want to control Luoyang and the imperial court with a large army, and do things that are not subordinate." ”
After a pause, Li Su said again: "On the other hand, Dong Gong, who only came with 3,000 soldiers and horses, heard that the Son of Heaven and King Chen Liuli were in Beibi Mountain, and immediately led a large army to find the Son of Heaven and King Chen Liuwang in the mountains. And Dong Gong's army came to Luoyang from Hedong, and did not disturb the people during the period, but the army crossed the Yellow River, let the people ferry, and also gave money, and the people received more favors from Dong Gong. ”
Seeing that Lu Bu was silent, Li Su continued: "If the elder brother does not kill Ding Yuan and let Ding Yuan's army prevent Dong Gong from doing the things of virtuous ministers, then the soldiers of the two armies will naturally suffer countless casualties. Killing a Ding Yuan can save his brother from tens of millions of robes, how is it unrighteous to do this, it is really a matter of great benevolence and loyalty, I hope that my brother will kill Ding Yuan, and thank my brother for the soldiers of the two armies in this generation. After speaking, Li Su "pounced" and knelt on the ground.
Lu Bu saw it and wanted to help Li Su up, but Li Su knelt in front of Lu Bu as if he had an iron heart, and kowtowed. Lu Bu had to sigh and said, "Brother Xian, I promise you for my brother, and get up first." ”
Li Su heard this, but he didn't get up immediately, but said: "This worship is the name of Brother Xie to save the tens of millions of soldiers of the two armies, and Brother must not postpone it." After speaking, he kowtowed respectfully to Lu Bu. After knocking, he was helped up by Lu Bu and said to Lu Bu: "Brother, go and kill Ding Yuan." ”
Lu Bu sighed and said, "I only killed Ding Yuan. ”
Li Su said: "This is natural. ”
……
That night, Ding Yuan was killed by his subordinate Lu Bu, and all his troops were under the command of Lu Bu, and Lu Bu led his troops to surrender to Dong Zhuo, so that Dong Zhuo's power was no longer stoppable in Luoyang.
————————————
It has always been a mystery why Lu Bu assassinated Ding Yuan to surrender to Dong Zhuo, and it is difficult to say that Lu Bu is greedy for money and loves horses. And if Lu Bu was such a person who killed his father-in-law for a horse, how could Zhang Liao, Chen Gong, and Gao Shun defect to him after assassinating Dong later. Therefore, the younger brother made a fuss about Li Su's statement of descending Lu Bu, but all lobbyists infinitely magnify the enemy's disadvantages, and then infinitely magnify our benefits, supplemented by treasures and other things to say that they descend to others, and Li Su here plays such a role
