The Horse of the Three Kingdoms Treads the World

() Thirty miles north of Luoyang City is a small town called Qingyangdian. Because it is very close to the capital Luoyang, it has always been bustling and prosperous.It's just that in these days, because of the major changes in Luoyang City, all the merchants have stopped, and this town seems a little deserted.

But this day, the town became crowded again, but it was not because the eunuch's one-party rebellion was quelled, and the merchants came to Qingyang Town from the new road, but because a force of [-] people was stationed in the town. In addition, the entire town was overcrowded, and ordinary people did not dare to go out at will.

However, this army did not bully the place at will, relying on its large number of people and weapons in its hands, as the common people feared. Instead, it stayed in the town in a very orderly manner, and even asked for food from the people in the town. Some money will also be given symbolically.This army was led by Ding Yuan, the governor of King Qin from Bingzhou.

In fact, Ding Yuan received He Jin's transfer order at about the same time as Dong Zhuo, but he was more hesitant than Dong Zhuo, wondering whether he should send troops to Luoyang.After all, He Jin was just an important court official, and what he issued was not an official document. As a courtier, Ding Yuan did not dare to bring troops to the imperial capital Luoyang recklessly, as that would be considered a rebellion.

It wasn't until the news that the eunuchs in Luoyang caused chaos, killed the general He Jin, and kidnapped the emperor to escape, that Ding Yuan realized what he had missed, and immediately sent troops to Luoyang.It is precisely because he came here after hearing the news of the great change in Luoyang that he was much slower than Dong Zhuo who started on the road one step earlier. Dong Zhuo was much more present when Liang left.

And when Ding Yuan led his army to the vicinity of Luoyang City, he heard the news that the eunuch rebellion subsided and the emperor returned to the palace, which made him feel a little hesitant, wondering whether he should continue to enter Luoyang City at this time.Although he and Dong Zhuo had very similar identities and status, they were both shepherds of a frontier state and had their own army, but they did not have the ambition of the former, and could be regarded as an official loyal to the imperial court.

Just when Ding was hesitating because of his worries, someone in Luoyang finally sent him a letter, which mentioned Dong Zhuo's various rude behaviors after he raised his troops to Luoyang, and hoped that he could lead his troops to rush to Luoyang as soon as possible. Come to contain Dong Zhuo.In this way, he continued to move forward, and finally arrived at Qingyang Town, which is close to the capital, half a month after Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, and he could lead his army into the city only after dawn the next day.

Just the night before he was about to raise his troops to Luoyang, Ding Yuan, who lived in a mansion in Qingyang Town, was staring at the direction of Luoyang to the south with a thoughtful look.He was embarrassed about what kind of attitude he should have after entering Luoyang tomorrow. He almost always listened to what people said about the situation in Beijing and China, and really didn't have his own judgment.Moreover, he didn't know how to deal with his relationship with Dong Zhuo. If the other party did something presumptuous and rude, should he confront him?

After thinking for a while, Ding Yuan still couldn't reach a conclusion, so he couldn't help but sighed heavily.At this time, someone knocked on the half-closed door, and a young voice sounded outside: "Father, another letter from Luoyang has arrived."

Ding Yuan recognized the voice of his adopted son Lu Bu, and said, "Come in."

The door opened immediately, and a handsome young man who was nearly nine feet tall and dressed in a brocade came in. He was Lu Bu.After seeing his adoptive father, Lu Bu handed over a letter in his hand. He had already read the letter, so he explained aside: "Father, Dong Zhuo's power has been further strengthened now, let's go to the city Then you have to be careful."

What was written in the letter was exactly the series of events that Dong Zhuo recruited He into the old ministry and killed He Miao, which further showed how domineering and arrogant Dong Zhuo was.After reading the above, Ding Yuan frowned worriedly: "This Dong Liangzhou is too presumptuous. He Miao is a dignified court official. He actually killed him as soon as he said it, so why not?" Put the majesty of the court in your eyes?"

"Father, in my child's opinion, we should make preparations early. When we enter Luoyang City tomorrow, maybe Dong Zhuo will obstruct us and refuse to let us go in. You can ask the soldiers to show their weapons when they enter the city." Come on, let's compete with that Dong. My boy is willing to be the vanguard to enter the city and open the way for my adoptive father!" Seeing that Ding Yuan was very worried, Lu Bu offered a plan.

"No, what you're doing is giving others a handle. It's really unwise!" But Ding Yuan shook his head and vetoed Lu Bu's idea: "Now that Dong Zhuo's evil deeds have not been revealed, he is still a meritorious minister. If we enter When I entered the city, I faced him with swords, and I was no different from him. In my opinion, I should go to see the emperor first, and then meet with the courtiers, and then decide whether to fight with him after knowing the changes in Luoyang city. It's not too late to turn around."

"But adoptive father, isn't it too late? If Dong Zhuo sets some kind of trap after you enter the city, I'm afraid we will fall into a passive position, or even..." Lu Bu didn't say anything about the ominous words later.

"Fengxian, you haven't gone through any major events, and you are too edgy. This Luoyang is the capital of my great man. How can he cover the sky with one hand, Dong Zhongying? As the saying goes, the reason why I want to do this, foster father, is To achieve morality, let the officials of the Manchu Dynasty and the people of the world know that I am dedicated to the country, so that they will stand by my side." Ding Yuan insisted on his own opinion: "So as long as you can enter the city smoothly tomorrow, you are already The first step to success."

"But foster father..." Lu Bu was about to say something, but was interrupted by Ding Yuan waving his hand: "Okay, it's getting late, you have to take the escort to Luoyang tomorrow, you'd better go early Go back and rest."

"Yes, baby, leave!" Seeing this, Lu Bu swallowed back the words that came to his lips, then turned around and left Ding Yuan's room, but there was still a bit of disapproval on his face.

"Hey, foster father always wants to make everything right and proper. This is really not a good thing. And with our current strength, we can learn from Dong Zhuo when we enter Luoyang, and take the power into our arms. Why bother?" What are you going to say to those incompetent people?" Lu Bu sighed at Yue, very dissatisfied with what happened after tomorrow.But as Ding Yuan's adoptive son and general, he can only obey orders on such a major matter, and he dare not make his own opinions.

At dawn the next day, the Bingzhou Army continued to march south.Thirty miles away was nothing to them. When it was close to noon, their front team had already arrived at the city of Luoyang. At that moment, some officers and men of the vanguard ran to the city gate, which was still locked, to call for the city: " We came from Bingzhou to rescue King Qin, please open the city gate quickly."

"Sure enough, the Bingzhou army has arrived." Above the city gate, Li Que looked at the endless line of troops outside the city, and muttered in his heart: "But what should we do to keep them out of Luoyang?"

It turned out that Dong Zhuo in Luoyang knew of his movements after the Bingzhou Army entered Qingyang Town.Dong Zhuo, who was quick to save people, was worried that Ding Yuan, who had [-] elites in his hand, would seize power with him after entering Luoyang, so he ordered the city gates to be closed, and then he was thinking of ways to keep people out of the city.

Now, Dong Zhuo hasn't come up with a proper solution yet, but the Bingzhou army has already arrived at the gate of the city, which makes Li Que, who was ordered to guard the gate, very embarrassed.At this time, a horse from the Bingzhou army outside the city galloped out, and a majestic young man in armor leaped to the gate of the city and shouted loudly: "I'm waiting for King Qianliqin to come, but why is the city gate closed?" Don't let us in? Could it be that the rumors are true, there really are villains in Luoyang city, are you worried that I will wait for loyal people to enter and serve as the king?"

The one who dared to take the risk to come to the city was naturally Lu Bu. At this time, he was wearing black iron armor for combat, holding a square sky painted halberd, and he was full of murderous aura. Even Li Que on the city could clearly feel it. The imposing manner from the person below.

"Who is this person? What a terrible aura?" Li Que's heart trembled, but he still had to bite the bullet and said: "I'm just following the order of my superiors, and I ask the general to forgive me." Obviously, He was intimidated by Lu Bu's aura, otherwise, with Li Que's temper, he would have ordered people to shoot arrows at him to threaten him.

Hearing this, Lu Bu under the city became a little angry: "How unreasonable, you dare to make excuses and refuse to let me wait to enter the city!" After speaking, he returned and picked up a carved bow hanging by the horse's side, Then he drew out another feathered arrow on the other side, drew the bowstring full and shouted: "I'll count to three, if you don't open the city gate again, don't blame me for hurting people!"

"You..." This time, Li Que was also annoyed, so he waved his hand and let the soldiers who had been preparing to attack the city head forward, pointing at the city with densely packed crossbowmen: "If you are really brave, come attack Give it a try and see who is stronger!"

And the soldiers under Lu Bu's command below the city rushed up when they saw them. They also showed their weapons and confronted the defenders on the city.

Immediately, the situation at the top of Luoyang City became extremely tense. As long as anyone shakes their hands, it may cause a chaotic battle.Li Que's complexion turned pale when he saw this scene, he really wasn't prepared for this!
