The Horse of the Three Kingdoms Treads the World

() After letting Li Su leave, Lu Bu became very irritable. Li Su's words hit exactly what he wanted in his heart, and it would be a lie to say that he was not moved.As a general who considers himself proficient in martial arts and has practiced the art of war for a long time, he naturally hopes that one day he can raise troops to fight in all directions, and Lu Bu can also see that there are very few such opportunities for those who follow Ding Yuan.

But Lu Bu has a different view on this Dong Zhuo who dares to challenge the norm.His seemingly arrogant and reckless actions are exactly what a tyrant should do. If he can follow someone like Dong Zhuo, perhaps his military career in the future will no longer be as ordinary and lonely as before.But this idea was soon forcibly suppressed by Lu Bu. He had followed Ding Yuan for many years, how could he betray him just because of his own inclination? It is the bottom line that he has to keep.

Although he kept persuading himself in his heart, telling himself that there might be opportunities in the future, Lu Bu still felt restless, as if there was a wild beast in his heart that was about to break out soon.Just as he was about to go out for a walk, inspect the barracks and relax, the tent door was lifted from the outside, and several generals he was close to walked in.

"General!" Several generals saluted after entering.Seeing that it was Cheng Lian, Wei Yue, Song Xian, Wei Xu, and Hou Cheng who had followed him the longest and most powerful, Lu Bu felt a little strange: "It's so late, why don't you rest in the tent?" They all ran into my tent?"

Several people glanced at each other, and it was Cheng Lian who was most valued by Lv Bu and said: "When General Shicai saw that man, General Mo was outside the tent and listened to everything he said."

"Huh?" Lu Bu's heart tightened when he heard these words: "You mean you have heard what that person told me? Yes, that person was sent by the Liangzhou Army to lobby me, but You can rest assured that I, Lu Bu, am definitely not an ungrateful person, and I will not be tempted by him to do something that betrays my lord." He believed that with the relationship between these people and himself, as long as he spoke clearly, they would not Inform Ding Yuan.

Unexpectedly, Cheng Lian and the others shook their heads: "General, we are not here to blame you for contacting the Xiliang army, but to persuade you to obey his wishes and surrender Dong Zhuo as soon as possible!"

"What?" Lu Bu cried out in shock, and he couldn't believe his ears: "You actually asked me to betray my lord?"

"General, the current war is extremely unfavorable to us, and my lord refuses to listen to the general's persuasion and retreats. Are we really going to die here because of a moment of anger? At least some people in the Xiliang army value us now. As long as the general If we are willing to surrender, not only our lives will be preserved, but the general will also have a better future, why don't we choose this way?" Hou Cheng also persuaded, and he said this very bluntly.

"No, my adoptive father has always been kind to me, how can I abandon him at this time?" Lu Bu immediately waved his hand and vetoed this proposal: "You don't have to mention this matter again, otherwise don't blame Lu Bu for being ruthless."

"But general, if you don't act like this, how can you persist in this war? You don't think about yourself and our brothers, you should also think about our soldiers of the Bingzhou Army. If it wasn't for the lord, he insisted on going his own way and insisted on fighting Dong Zhuo." Short and long, how can we lose in a row, if we don't think of a solution now, I'm afraid the day of destruction will not be far away. Don't you have the heart to watch so many soldiers die because of the lord's sudden anger?" Song Song Xian also persuaded him that he knew very well that Lu Bu always attached great importance to the safety of his soldiers, so he used this as an excuse.

"You don't need to say, I will find a way to persuade my father-in-law to retreat as soon as possible. As for the betrayal of my father-in-law, I, Lu Bu, can't do it. You should give up this idea as soon as possible!" Lu Bu snorted. Said: "Now I'm going out to inspect the barracks, and you all go back to the barracks." After saying this, he picked up Fang Tian's painted halberd and walked out of the barracks.

Seeing that Lu Bu had made up his mind, Hou Cheng and the other five people all showed helplessness. They really wanted to use this matter to save their own lives, but now that Lu Bu refused, they had no other choice.

"It seems that the general can't be persuaded, but what should we do?" Wei Xu said dejectedly.

"We have to take one step at a time. I hope the general can see that something can't be done earlier, otherwise..." His brother Wei Yue also felt helpless for a while.Only Hou Cheng had an inexplicable light in his eyes and said, "We'll wait and see, maybe things will turn around."

Lu Bu was walking around the Bingzhou military camp with a halberd in his hand, and every time he came to a group of soldiers, those people would take the initiative to salute, shouting: "General Lu!" The exhausted soldiers immediately regained their high fighting spirit, and Lu Bu was their spiritual pillar.

Originally, Lu Bu's status in the Bingzhou Army was not so high. Everyone only knew that he was brave and capable of fighting.But after the war with the Liangzhou Army this time, the views of the soldiers were quite different.In many battles, if Lu Bu hadn't taken the initiative to lead his troops to stay in the rear, many soldiers of the Bingzhou Army would have died in the process of retreating.And everyone also saw with their own eyes that Lu Bu made many dangerous attempts to enter the enemy's formation and rescued his besieged comrades from the Xiliang army.Such behavior quickly won the respect of these soldiers, so in the current Bingzhou Army, Lu Bu's reputation is even higher than that of Ding Yuan.

Seeing these soldiers saluting to him forcefully, Lu Bu felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.Because in fact, he was not sure that he could persuade Ding Yuan to retreat. After consecutive defeats, Ding Yuan's mentality had undergone a considerable change.

"Hey, what should I do to keep these men and horses? I can't kill all these tens of thousands of horses because of the sudden anger of my adoptive father?" Lu Bu still struggled in his heart.Just as he was expressing emotion, a close friend of Ding Yuan's side suddenly rushed over: "General Lu, you are here, my lord, please go over and say that you have something important to discuss."

"It's so late, and my lord still wants to discuss some important matters with me? Could it be that he has figured out that this battle will only increase the casualties, so he decided to retreat back to Bingzhou?" Lu Bu thought about this, but he didn't stop. Follow that person to Ding Yuan's tent.

"I've seen the adoptive father." Lu Bu saluted respectfully after entering the big tent, and then asked: "I don't know why the adoptive father Kui Ye called the child here?"

Ding Yuan didn't answer the question right away, but kept looking at Lu Bu up and down for a long while, until he looked a little hairy, and then said: "I called you here today to discuss what we should do next. How to use troops against the Liangzhou army. How do you think we can regain the disadvantage and defeat the Xiliang army?"

"This... I also ask my adoptive father to forgive me. From my child's point of view, there is no possibility of winning this battle. After our successive defeats, the morale of the army has been greatly damaged, and the Xiliang army is just the opposite. And now the strength of the troops is increasing. They also gained the upper hand, and it is impossible to reverse the situation." Lu Bu said truthfully.

"Oh, is that so? What if I ask you to lead 5000 troops to attack the Xiliang military camp at night? How sure do you think you can defeat the opponent?" After Ding Yuan responded noncommittally, he suddenly asked A question was raised.

"Father, this method is definitely not feasible! Xiliang Dong Zhuo and his subordinates are all good at fighting, how could they not prepare for a night attack? If we rashly attack at night, I'm afraid we will lose more troops. My child In my opinion, we should withdraw our troops and fight them again after returning to Bingzhou to regroup!" Lu Bu quickly objected, and at the same time re-presented his point of view.

Ding Yuan's face turned black after Lu Bu's words, and he suddenly sneered: "You really have two minds! I should have heard a secret report that you had colluded with Xiliang Dong Zhuo. Still don’t believe it, I don’t want to give it a try and it turns out to be true. Tell me, what did you have a secret conversation with that Xiliang spy who visited at night? But are you going to dedicate my head to Dong Zhuo?” At the end , he was already stern.

Lu Bu obviously didn't expect the adoptive father to come so suddenly, and he was a little stunned: "The adoptive father..."

"Why, do you still want to quibble now? Do you dare to say that no one came to meet you in secret just now? You haven't had a long secret conversation with him in the tent? How long do you want to hide from me?" Ding Yuan said even more He slapped the table and said: "I finally know why I and the state army are no match for the Xiliang army when the strength is equal. This is because I have you as a good son by my side, and you are actually in touch with foreign enemies..."

"Father, the boy has never done anything against you, please tell the father!" Lu Bu was a little panicked when he saw this, and quickly argued: "Then Li Su really came to see the boy, and he still wants to see the boy." Persuade me to surrender to Dong Zhuo, but the boy has already rejected him!"

It's fine if he doesn't admit the matter, but now Ding Yuan is furious when he hears that he indeed has contacts with Dong Zhuo's subordinates, and he doesn't want to listen to Lu Bu's excuse anymore: "Come here, arrest this traitor and take him away." Tomorrow, I will kill him to sacrifice the flag!" As soon as he said this, the tent door was lifted, and dozens of Ding Yuan's cronies who had been ambushing outside the tent rushed in, and quickly put Lu Bu surrounded.

But after Ding Yuan said such words, Lu Bu was still a little confused. After being surrounded by these people, he came back to his senses and said anxiously: "Father, please listen to my explanation, the child is indeed not..." The words did not finish , several personal soldiers had come up to kill him, so he had no choice but to stop talking, and dodged to the side to hide.In fact, these people in front of him were not Lu Bu's opponents at all, but he didn't want to have a conflict with Ding Yuan, so he never made a move.

But this move was completely different in Ding Yuan's eyes. Seeing that Lu Bu dared to resist, he was even more angry: "Kill me, as long as he dares to resist, he will be killed on the spot!"
