With a handsome face and a heroic posture, the future world's number one fierce general does have its own unique charm. The world says that a seven-foot man is a man, but Lu Bu is nine feet tall.

Ding Yuan himself was tall, but standing in front of him was half a head shorter.

Although he was wearing a wide gray casual clothes, he could clearly feel the terrifying power hidden in that body.

Ding Yuan stared at his righteous son for a long time before retracting his gaze and asking, "Do you have a grudge in your heart when your father arranged you to be a civilian?" ”

Resentful?

Of course there is.

However, Lu Bu will not say it directly, he is just not proficient in strategy, but he is not a reckless man.

In fact, he has always had his own clear purpose, knows what he wants, and even knows how to get to the top, such as recognizing a stepfather as a backer.

The reason why he became infamous later was because he ignored the moral bottom line in the eyes of the world too much.

It is not a big deal for a good bird to choose a tree to perch on, and it is not a big deal to change the court, the key is that he recognized his father-in-law and betrayed, and killing his father has become an indelible stain in the eyes of the world.

Lu Bu raised his head and said with a serious face: "The child knows that all the arrangements of the stepfather are to sharpen the child, so how can he resent the stepfather?" ”

"If only you could understand the hard work of being a father."

Ding Yuan nodded, with his experience, he couldn't even detect a trace of complaint hidden in the young man's heart. It's fine if there is no provocation from the outside, but if someone amplifies it, it will lead to tragedy.

Speaking from his heart, he may not have arranged Lu Bu in a civilian position to sharpen the other party, after all, seeing a person's prestige growing day by day, he is likely to overpower him in the future.

Who will be the lord of the annex state at that time?

Ding Yuan's tone paused, and then said: "If there is a conflict between your father and the new Liu Zhoumu, will you be your father?" ”

If he had the intention to plan, the first thing he would do was to get the support of his henchmen first.

Lu Bu was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help asking, "Father-in-law, why is this?" ”

"You just need to answer the question of being a father."

Ding Yuan didn't want to explain too much, and the problems in this were not difficult to guess.

It is nothing more than a struggle for power.

Lu Bu immediately said without hesitation: "The child is towards his father-in-law." ”

Ding Yuan was very satisfied with this answer, nodded and said, "That's good." ”

Lu Bu thought for a while, and then asked: "It's just that Liu Zhoumu is appointed by the imperial court after all, if we move him, will the imperial court send someone to ask for the crime?" ”

At this time, Emperor Ling was not dead, and Dong Zhuo had not yet dominated the dynasty, and the imperial court was still quite prestigious.

Ding Yuan said indifferently: "I naturally won't do it myself. ”

Even if Lu Budang understood that his father-in-law was going to use a borrowed knife to kill people. He saw that his stepfather had no intention of revealing his plan, so he didn't ask any more questions.

"You retreat first, stay in the barracks for the next few days, and if there are people sent by Liu Zhoumu, don't conflict with them."

"The child obeys."

After seeing Lu Bu withdraw from the camp, Ding Yuan summoned another confidant and solemnly advised: "You go to Yanmen immediately and tell Ding Tong that no matter what arrangements Liu Zhoumu makes, don't conflict with them." ”

In any case, the state pastor is the nominal master of the state, and if he disobeys the order, it is entirely possible to be taken down by the trend.

On the contrary, as long as people live, even if the military power is handed over, they still have the ability to mobilize a large army.

This is the biggest difference between the border army and the soldiers of other states and counties, after years of fighting side by side, it is enough to make the loyalty of the soldiers under their command to the main general more than a tiger talisman.

This is also the reason why monarchs in the past have been afraid of veterans, especially when their prestige is overshadowed.

——

The next day, several captains in charge of military power in Yanmen County were unanimously summoned by Xun Yu, the new county guard.

"The position of the county guard has been vacant for a long time, how can a new guard suddenly appear?"

"This person can't be an impersonator, right?"

"Just look at his paperwork."

Several lieutenants gathered together to discuss, of course, mainly three of them were talking, but the other two were silent.

One of them was Zhang Liao.

He had mixed feelings in his mind, and if nothing else, he would probably raise the butcher's knife to his comrades who had fought side by side today.

Ding Tong looked at Zhang Liao and asked, "Wen Yuan, what do you think the new Tai Shou calls us for?" ”

Zhang Liao thought for a moment and replied, "Maybe he just wants to say hello to us." ”

He was already in line, destined to be unable to turn back.

This matter is well thought out, if you follow Ding Yuan, the best result is nothing more than tearing your face with Xinzhou Mu, even if you win in the end, you will inevitably become a thief.

It won't be long before the army of the imperial court to quell the rebellion will arrive, which is not in line with his ambitions.

One of the lieutenants complained: "I'm afraid that this newcomer doesn't know how to fight, and likes to point fingers at us." ”

"Hmph, if that's the case, then let's ......"

One person is bold, and when he speaks, he even wipes his neck, as if it is not the first time he has done this kind of thing.

Yanmen is a place of chaos, and the way to deal with the aftermath is very simple, just blame the horse thieves and the Hu people.

Several people immediately marched to the county guard mansion with a team of personal soldiers.

Xun Yu had already ordered someone to prepare a banquet in the back garden, just waiting to invite you into the urn.

There is a way...... There is no good feast, this is a feast.

A few people didn't realize this, and when they saw that there was wine, their eyes suddenly brightened a lot, and their impression of the new Taishou changed greatly.

At the same time, it has also invisibly relaxed its vigilance.

This is because they found that they were not the only ones attending the banquet, but also several important civil officials, so they subconsciously thought that it was just a banquet for new officials to take office.

The five of them bowed their heads and knelt in unison, and said in unison: "The last general will see the envoy." ”

"You don't need to be polite."

After getting up, Ding Tong took the first step forward and arched his hand: "The last general has no intention of offending, but he is just carrying a heavy responsibility, can you take a look at the envoy's appointment documents?" ”

"Of course."

Xun Yu was prepared, and with a wave of his hand, a subordinate presented the appointment document.

After several people saw it, they finally confirmed the identity of the new Taishou.

Xun Yu raised his hand and said with a smile: "You don't have to be restrained, this summoning you to come here is just a routine matter, and it will depend on the generals to guard the pass in the future." ”

Several people glanced at each other and immediately sat down.

At the banquet, everyone casually chatted about the city defense and troop deployment in Yanmen, and before they knew it, they had already drunk three rounds.

But there is an alternative among them, who doesn't say a word from beginning to end, and doesn't drink a drop of alcohol.

Seeing this, Xun Yu couldn't help asking: "Why is this general motionless, is it because he dislikes the wine in my house that is not mellow enough?" ”

The man was about to speak, but Ding Tong answered the question for him first.

"General Gao Shun never drinks."

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Xun Yu couldn't help but look at this person a few more times.

For generals, drinking is not necessarily a bad thing, but the time and place of the score are scored.

But not drinking alcohol is necessarily a good thing, although it is likely to be unsociable.

"Okay, now that the wine has been drunk, it's time for the official to read out Liu Zhoumu's order."
