While He Bai was talking to He Xian, the Forbidden Army of the Pawn Division, the Ruling Jin Wu Ding Yuan, who guarded the safety of the capital and the palace city, also led hundreds of forbidden troops to arrive. He Bai saw it and was busy in front of the stairs to greet him. Ding Yuan saw He Bai, nodded and said: "Tianming has been good recently, not only is he famous as a Beijing teacher, but he has also been promoted three times in half a year, which is quite favored by the general, and his career is a hundred times smoother than my career back then." ”

He Bai arched his hand and smiled: "When Bai was young, it was smooth, but he didn't dare to guarantee it in the future." The Duke of Jianyang is now the ruling Jinwu, and if he goes up again, he will be Jiuqing, or it is possible to go straight to the third duke. This is incomparable. ”

Ding Yuan smiled and pointed at He Bai and said: "My official position is more of the original help." And Tianming, you don't need to help each other at the beginning, you have your own generals and Youzhou pastors, how can I compare. But ......" Ding Yuan asked quietly, "Didn't Tianming admire Ben Chu very much since he was a child?" Why is it now that you have departed from the original? ”

He Bai also whispered: "There are many talents around Ben Chu Gong, if I get mixed in, I will not be valued by Ben Chu Gong." Only by maintaining the state of being detached can I always treat me as the same. ”

Ding Yuan was stunned, pointed at He Bai again and again and nodded silently, and finally bowed deeply to show his admiration, and turned to walk towards the city wall. He Baiwang saw that among the halberd-wielding forbidden troops, one person was tall, more than half a shoulder taller than the guards, and it was Lu Bu, a flying general who reached a height of two meters and three.

He Bai bowed his hand again and said: "It turned out that Brother Feng Xian also arrived in Beijing, He Bai didn't know that he didn't set up a banquet to wash the dust for Brother Feng, but it was rude." Is my brother free tonight? Please give He Bai a chance to wash the dust. ”

Standing among the guards, Lu Bu, who had a wooden face, showed a hint of a smile at this time, and raised his halberd and said, "Good, I will disturb Tianming more tonight." ”

Without waiting for He Bai to say more, he suddenly heard Ding Yuan shouting violently: "Where is Feng Xian?" Shoot down the banner under the city with me. ”

When Lu Bu heard this, he immediately abandoned He Bai, took the bow in his hand, strode forward, and came to the side of the city wall. I only heard the sound of a strong bow "collapse", the sharp arrows on the bow were as fast as meteors, and Dong Zhuo, who was one hundred and twenty steps away from the city, immediately fell down in response. Dong Zhuo, who was so shocked that he was demonstrating on a prancing horse within a hundred steps, was startled, and hurriedly hit his horse back, causing a lot of restlessness among his Qiang riders.

Ding Yuan held the female wall with both hands and shouted: "Bold Dong Zhuo, he dared to lead the Qiang soldiers to invade the Beijing Division without following the edict, what a thief's courage." If you don't retreat with me, I'll send an army to take the head of your master. ”

Dong Zhuo was furious when he heard the words under the city, and shouted violently: "I am a former general and a courtier, why am I not allowed to enter Beijing?" Who are you, that you dare to stop me? ”

Ding Yuan laughed and said: "I am the governor of Jingzhong, Ding Jianyang, and the safety of the Beijing master is under my control." If you ride into Beijing alone, I will not care about you. But if you lead 3,000 Qiang cavalry into Beijing without following the edict, you are deliberately rebelling. Now you are even more arrogant and call the door, full of anti-will, and if you don't quickly retreat, it will be a complete rebellion. Dong Zhuo, do you want me to put down the rebellion, or do you retreat? ”

Dong Zhuo was furious by Ding Yuan and wanted to wave his troops to attack the city, but at this time, Dong Zhuo only had few soldiers here, and there was no backup. And the Han family was not in chaos, the Northern Army, the Southern Army and the Xiyuan Army were all under the jurisdiction of the court, how could Dong Zhuo dare to force himself to make trouble, he was afraid that he would be wiped out quickly.

Dong Zhuo had no choice but to restrain his anger, and immediately arched his hand and said: "Zhijin Wu Ding Gong, although I did not get the emperor's edict, but I entered Beijing on the order of the general, not the Beijing division privately, and I also asked Ding Gong to investigate." ”

Ding Yuan laughed and said: "There is no chaos in Beijing, and there is no place for useless soldiers, even if there is an order from the general, you can't enter the city with heavy troops." Hurry back and let me allow you to lead fifty horsemen into the city and give orders to the general. ”

Although Dong Zhuo was resentful, he also knew that this was the rule of the court, but with his own power at this time, he couldn't go against the rules of the court. Under the pressure of Ding Yuan's seizure, Dong Zhuo had to lead his troops to temporarily retreat five miles and let go of the blockade. Not long after, another doctor was ordered to go out of the city and go to Dong Zhuo's army to announce his retreat.

Not long after, Chong Shao returned angrily and said to Ding Yuan: "I am the envoy of the court, but the Dong thief threatened me with a sword, although I was repulsed, but his disregard for the authority of the Han family has been revealed. ”

Ding Yuan solemnly bowed and said: "What the doctor said is very true, and I also think so, but with my Ding Jianyang here, I will not let Dong Zhuo cause trouble in Beijing." ”

It wasn't until the sentry reported that Dong Zhuo had retreated twenty miles and was stationed near the Sunset Pavilion that Ding Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. After agreeing with Wu Qiong, the captain of the city gate, to defend the city, he went to the general's mansion to report.

He Bai didn't know if the Ruyang Chaos in this world had changed, and he didn't care about other things for a while, so he also went to the General's Mansion with Ding Yuan. After He Jin saw He Bai, he couldn't help but say angrily: "I didn't expect Dong Zhuo to be so arrogant and domineering, it is not at all like the humility when he was just released from prison a few years ago. Tianming, if I want you to lead the troops to relieve Dong Zhuo's military power, can you be sure? ”

Now that the court is not in chaos, Dong Zhuo's madness is still reserved, with Lu Bu and Huang Zhong walking together, a Dong Zhuo is not a problem. It's just that He Bai wants the world to be in chaos, and only after the chaos can he be governed. Dong Zhuo is the source of trouble, but he can't get rid of him at this time.

So he said: "Although Dong Zhuo is arrogant, but listening to the words of the doctor, he is also cautious, although he is facing the envoy, there are dozens of guards armed to guard. Moreover, the Qiang soldiers did not know the prestige of the court, and they did not know me, so they were afraid that they would not obey my orders. To relieve it of its military power, at least 10,000 troops must besiege it. ”

He Jin is a general, it is okay to talk about troops on paper, but it is not good to lead the troops to actually fight, and when he heard He Bai say that he wanted 10,000 troops, he immediately dispelled Dong Zhuo's desire to relieve his military power, and said: "It seems that this matter is still after the matter of removing the eunuch is over." It's nothing to ride just three thousand Qiang, and it can't afford to turn up big waves. ”

Seeing that He Jin didn't care so much, He Bai couldn't help but shake his head again and again in his heart, every time there is a political battle, you need to be cautious, and the swords and swords in it are no easier to dodge than a clear sword and a gun. Although He Jin is not the main force in removing the eunuchs, his position makes everyone dare not take it lightly. He Jin was so careless, no wonder he would be easily beheaded by the Ten Standing Attendants.

He Bai couldn't help but sigh secretly, political disputes, either not to do it, or to make a desperate decision. It must not be the same as He Jin, who is warm and affectionate, and scruples about this and that. Both sides wanted the other to be dead, and He Jin was still in the middle and the mud, thinking about preserving the losing side. But the losing party has already attributed He Jin to the general leader of the other side, and the ten permanent attendants are dying, so how can they not drag He Jin to die together.

He Bai planned to wait for He Jin to die, and when Dong Zhuo was still in power, he rescued He Jin's family and set out together. I don't know if He Jin had an accident in the past two days, so he prepared to stay in Beijing and wait for news.

In the evening of the same day, He Bai waited for Hou Lubu's arrival outside the door early, accompanied by Huang Zhong and Han Rong. He Bai asked: "Uncle Han, today you are also with me on the city wall to watch my brother Lu Fengxian shoot Dong Zhuo's handsome banner with arrows, I don't know which of your archery skills is stronger or weaker than him?" ”

Huang Zhong bowed and said: "Back to the lord, the archery of loyalty pays attention to accuracy, and Lu Fengxian's archery pays attention to power, and it is impossible to say who is strong and who is weak." ”

He Bai nodded, with Huang Zhong's temperament, he was afraid that his archery skills would be slightly better than Lu Bu's. It's just that because he has the same intersection with Lu Bu, Huang Zhong, as a subordinate, can't say that his own archery skills are stronger than Lu Bu. However, Huang Zhong also pointed out that Lu Bu's archery is very powerful, which means that Lu Bu's bow has a great pull and is very easy to break armor. And Huang Zhong shoots people and needs to find a vacancy.

As for the martial arts of the two, He Bai estimated in his heart that Lu Bu was tall and strong, with long arms and fast halberds; Huang Zhong's knife skills are okay, but they may be inferior to software such as strength and horses. It seems that Huang Zhong still needs to find a good horse, so as to close the gap between the two.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, Lu Bu came to the banquet alone on a war horse like a little donkey, and He Bai happily opened the door to welcome Lu Bu into the mansion. Lu Bu looked at He Bai's mansion and sighed: "Tianming is also proud in Beijing, far better than me in Bingzhou. ”

He Bai said with a smile: "This is just people's luck, don't be too discouraged by Brother Fengxian." The younger brother knows a little about the art of looking at qi, and when he was in Taiyuan, he said that the good luck of the first brother is coming, and now it is even better luck to come soon. After Ding Zhijinwu sat down in his position, he thought it would be time to vigorously promote his brother. ”

The corners of Lu Bu's mouth twitched, revealing a hint of a smile and said, "Hopefully." I am satisfied with a thousand stones. ”

He Bai ordered people to eat meat, and ordered two concubines to serve beside him, and even served a jar of high-grade liquor. After Lu Bu tasted it, he immediately shouted: "Good wine, good wine, Tianming, could it be that this is the 'Magi Wine' in the legend of Luoyang City, which is hard to find a stone?" ”

He Bai shook his head and said: "No, the so-called Magi wine is elegant and delicate, soft in the mouth, clear and sweet, and it is the soft wine that the scribes like." This wine is hot in the mouth, mellow, mellow and fragrant, with a long aftertaste and a long-lasting fragrance in the empty glass, which is a better heroic spirit than Magi wine. This wine is small, and only a few people have shared it. Brother Feng Xian came to Beijing from afar, and He Bai wanted to take out the best wine to treat him. ”

Lu Bu was overjoyed and shouted: "Tianming is really my brother, come, drink it together." ”

Under He Bai's flattery, after drinking for thirty years, Lu Bu was very proud, and he had long lost the bad luck when he first came. Speaking of Lu Bu's newborn son Lu Qi, Lu Bu was a burst of joy and pride. And vowed to have a position of at least 2,000 stones in his lifetime, the same rank as He Bai. So that Lu Qi has a good family background since he was a child, and he is by no means as good as himself, a martial artist and a cold man, and wherever he goes, he is looked down upon.

Facing Lu Bu, who loves his family and his wife and children, and strives to be an official, He Bai feels more and more that he is not like the legendary flying general Lu Bu in later generations, just an ordinary capable good man of the Gu family. He doesn't have too many great ideas, he just wants to get ahead and be respected by the world.

It is said that Ding Yuan is now the ruling Jinwu, except for the three princes and nine kings, it will be his turn, and he will be promoted to a capable subordinate who is more than a thousand stones, or a warehouse official with such a small position as the arsenal order. However, Ding Yuan suppressed Lu Bu too much, and he was still a master with the wrong ability, so that Lu Bu couldn't see any hope of promotion, and even He Bai couldn't understand why.

If you want to train Lu Bu to be a civil official and not take the military attache route, you can say it clearly; If Lu Bu's temperament is flawed, it can also be clearly stated; Since you are a confidant, why don't you say it? You have to use Lu Bu but don't promote him, what's the matter? In the end, He Bai could only attribute it to Ding Yuan's vulgar temperament and could not see the needs of his subordinates, which caused a catastrophe.
