The Horse of the Three Kingdoms Treads the World

() Just when the relationship between the upper and lower sides of Luoyang Beicheng became more and more rigid, and when it was about to explode, the soldiers of the Bingzhou Army who were waiting in formation suddenly separated, and under the escort of hundreds of cavalry, Ding Yuan rushed over , and shouted at Lu Bu who was prancing under the city: "Fengxian, don't act recklessly!"

The reason why Ding Yuan didn't sit in the middle army but rushed to the front was precisely to guard against his adopted son doing something difficult to deal with.Last night he had already heard some clues from Lu Bu. Just now he heard that he was leading the troops towards Luoyang, so he hurriedly chased after him. Fortunately, the matter was not out of hand, and the conflict did not cause any trouble.

When Lu Bu saw Ding Yuan coming, he had to turn around in embarrassment, not daring to provoke the Liangzhou soldiers in Luoyang City any more.But he was still quite unhappy in his heart. He thought that his own ability was enough to open the city gate.

"Fengxian, you are too reckless and bold. This is not Bingzhou. You can let your temperament come to you!" Ding Yuan looked a little better when he saw Lu Bu retreating his troops, but he still blamed: "This place is Luoyang City at the foot of the Son of Heaven, if you send troops to attack the city gate like this, how will the people of this world treat us?"

"But adoptive father, it's not that the child refuses to reason, it's that the guard in the city is so rude! If he is willing to obediently open the door and let us in, how can I have any disputes with him?" Lu Bu said a little angrily. .

"Then have you ever asked why they refused to open the city? If there is a real reason for the incident, it doesn't matter if we wait here for a while." Ding Yuan said.Regarding this, Lu Bu had nothing to say. He did not ask why the other party closed the city gates and refused to let him in, but he believed that Dong Zhuo must have done this intentionally. As for the reason, it is easy to say.

But Ding Yuan didn't think so, at least for now he couldn't really lead troops to attack Luoyang City, so he called a close friend beside him: "He Cheng, you go to the city to call the city again, so that we can explain our identities and intentions. Be polite."

"Here!" The man named He Cheng hurriedly agreed and patted his horse forward, but Lu Bu didn't take it seriously. He said all the good and bad words just now, and he almost used his sword. The people in the city still refused. Open the door, so what virtue does He Cheng have and how can he let others open the city gate?

But the fact surprised him greatly. When He Chengcheng stepped forward to talk to the defenders in the city, the north gate of Luoyang, which had been tightly closed, opened slowly, and the high suspension bridge was also released. down.Seeing all this, Lu Bu couldn't believe his eyes. Why did the people in the city suddenly change their temper?

It turned out that after Ding Yuan came to stop Lu Bu's reckless behavior, some changes took place in the city.Li Que saw that the Bingzhou army retreated a little, and he felt relieved, but he still ordered the sergeants to take strict precautions, not daring to be sloppy in the slightest.Unexpectedly, at this time, Dong Zhuo came here suddenly and called Li Que down to the city, asking him to open the door after the Bingzhou Army called the city again.

Although Li Que was quite surprised by this, he didn't dare to disobey Dong Zhuo's wishes, and this was the scene after He Cheng called the door.After the city gate was opened, Dong Zhuo rode out suddenly under the suspicious eyes of both sides, rushed across the suspension bridge only under the guard of dozens of cavalry, and arrived not far in front of the Bingzhou Army, then laughed and said: "Is the opposite party Ding Jianyang from Bingzhou?"

Ding Yuan saw that the city gate opened and a group of people came out, so he stopped blaming Lu Bu and urged his horse to go up to him. After looking at Dong Zhuo for a few times, he guessed the identity of the other party: "But Dong Zhongying from Liangzhou is here?"

"Exactly! Haha, you and I have each served our country for many years. I never thought we would meet here today. What a blessing!" Dong Zhuo patted his horse forward with a smile, and cupped his hands when he came to Ding Yuan.

"Dong Jun's name, Ding has admired him for a long time." Ding Yuan quickly returned the salute, and then asked without doubt: "Dare to ask Brother Dong, why did they refuse to let us into the city just now?"

Seeing that the other party didn't bother much, and came straight to the point, Dong Zhuo smiled wryly: "To be honest, this is Dong's responsibility. Recently, there are still some remnants of Zhang Rang's party in Luoyang City. To prevent them from escaping, that's why the four doors were closed tightly, but I didn't want to prevent Brother Ding from entering the city.

"However, I rushed over as soon as I heard about this, and I hope Brother Ding will not take it to heart. If you want to enter the city, you can go in with me now!"

The words were reasonable and restrained, and Ding Yuan could only accept his words for a while, and nodded, "It's the best of course. Fortunately, Brother Dong came here in such a timely manner, otherwise there would be troubles between us here It would be a great crime to frighten the rulers and ministers in Luoyang City."

Although Dong Zhuo said so, the reason why he changed his original decision and let Ding Yuan enter the city was because of Ma Yue's persuasion.In Ma Yue's view, even if they stayed in the city, even if they would rather use force than let the Bingzhou army enter the city, it would only be detrimental to themselves.

On the one hand, this will make Ding Yuan take advantage of it, because Dong Zhuo, who is also a courtier, does not have the power to prevent people from entering Luoyang City.Secondly, if they really fought against the Bingzhou army, it would also weaken the momentum of the Liangzhou army in the city, because once the people in the city find that someone dares to meet Dong Zhuo in battle, they will become more courageous, and they may dare to fight against Dong Zhuo. What did you do?Thirdly, Ma Yue mentioned that Ding Yuan's subordinates are all good fighters, and the outcome of a battle with him is unpredictable, so it is better to deal with him in another way.

Dong Zhuo agreed with these three points of view, but he also had some doubts, and he didn't know how to deal with Ding Yuan, so Ma Yue immediately proposed a method.That's why Dong Zhuo went out of the city alone to meet Ding Yuan. Dong Zhuo was quite confident that Ding Yuan didn't dare to attack him under the city of Luoyang.

"Brother Ding, please!" Dong Zhuo stretched out his hand to ask.Ding Yuan nodded and headed towards the city gate together with Dong Zhuo, and the [-] Bingzhou soldiers behind him also entered the city.Unexpectedly, at this time, Dong Zhuo stopped his horse again: "Brother Ding, I just invite you to enter the city alone, not to allow all the Bingzhou army to follow."

"What?" Lu Bu on the side immediately became a little anxious when he heard this: "You only let the adoptive father enter the city alone, how can this be done? Who knows if you have laid down knives and axes in the city to harm my adoptive father?" !"

"Fengxian, don't be rude!" Ding Yuan scolded, but he had already stopped his horse, obviously this thought was the same as that of his adopted son.

"Oh, it's my fault that I didn't explain clearly. Of course, Brother Ding did not enter the city alone. If the general is worried, he can go in with him. Moreover, Brother Ding can also bring five hundred soldiers with him, just to be safe. However, the chaos in Luoyang City has just subsided not long ago, so it is really not suitable for too many troops to be stationed there, so I only invite Brother Ding to enter the city instead of letting the Bingzhou army enter together." Dong Zhuo said and looked at Ding Yuan: "I think Ding Brother, shouldn’t you be worried that someone in this di du will be against you? Besides, this is also what the emperor means, you will never disobey the will and insist on bringing these people into the city?”

Seeing that Dong Zhuo had moved out the emperor to suppress him, Ding Yuan naturally had no choice but to obey, so he could only say, "Of course I don't worry about this, so I will do what Dong Jun said. Fengxian, you choose five hundred elites to follow me." Let's enter the city together!"

"Yes!" Lu Bu hastily agreed, and then went to choose men and horses.Although he was still very dissatisfied with Dong Zhuo's behavior, he also believed that his own ability was enough to protect his adoptive father.

Only then did Dong Zhuo turn his attention to Lu Bu, looked him up and down for a while before saying, "What a good general, is this brother Ding's adopted son?"

"That's right, he is my adopted son Lu Bu, named Fengxian." Ding Yuan nodded, as if to praise, but also seemed to remind Dong Zhuo: "Although Fengxian has a quick temper, he is indeed a brave general. More than a dozen generals under my command fought in turn, and almost none of them were his three-in-one enemy."

"That's right, then I'll see General Lu's ability when I have the opportunity." Dong Zhuo, who had never seen Lu Bu's ability, didn't believe it. He could fight with more than a dozen generals in turns and none of them could resist. Sanhe, these words are too exaggerated, even Hua Xiong, who is the best at fighting under him now, dare not fight more than ten times in a row.

While speaking, Lu Bu had already selected his men and horses, and Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo entered the north gate of Luoyang together.As for the remaining Bingzhou troops, they were stationed in the north of Luoyang City on the spot, and the people in the city provided them with food, grass and supplies.

After entering the city, Dong Zhuo wanted to invite Ding Yuan to drink with him to wash away the dust. There was another reason why he adopted Ma Yue's suggestion, and that was to cooperate with Ding Yuan.After all, the opponent's [-] Bingzhou Army is also a considerable force. If he can absorb it under his command for his own use, Dong Zhuo believes that no one in Luoyang City will dare to oppose him anymore.

However, after hearing Dong Zhuo's invitation, Ding Yuan shook his head and said: "No, since I entered Luoyang as a subject, I should go to see the emperor first. Besides, I have many acquaintances in this city, and I haven't seen each other for a long time. Now that I’m here, I want to see you again, so I have to live up to Dong Shijun’s wishes.”

"It's okay, you can go by yourself." Although Dong Zhuo felt a little unhappy, he didn't explode on the spot, he just responded casually, and left immediately.

From a distance, Ma Yue mixed in the crowd and looked at Lu Bu who was standing next to Ding Yuan thinking about something. He wondered how powerful this most powerful figure in the Three Kingdoms era was, and whether he would be as fast as written in the book. Just betray Ding Yuan and join Dong Zhuo?
