Chapter 147 Ding Yuan: Fengxian, why did you change your mind?
For the next two days, Dong Zhuo hung up the banner of refusing to fight and hid in the camp without coming out.
Yuan Shao and Ding Yuan launched several attacks but did not gain much advantage.
Cao Cao once proposed that Lu Bu take action to eliminate Dong Zhuo in one fell swoop, but Ding Yuan politely rejected it.
Bingzhou camp.
In a remote general's tent.
Lu Bu drank 'Thousand Days Drunk' in big gulps, his face full of depression.
He knew that Ding Yuan was wary of him and was afraid that his power would be too great and threaten his position as commander. However, he did not expect that even if the situation was at a stalemate, he would still be unwilling to let him take action.
"General Lu, there is someone outside the tent who claims to be your old friend and is here to visit you!"
"No, no!"
"Get them out!"
The captain of the guards was about to leave when laughter broke out from outside the tent: "Fengxian, now that you've become rich, don't you even want to see your old friends?"
Lu Bu felt the voice was familiar and subconsciously told someone to come in.
When he saw that the person coming was Li Su, who had grown up with him, his face instantly broke into a smile. He shouted back the captain of his personal guards and said with an apologetic smile, "I didn't know that you were coming. I am sorry for not welcoming you. Please forgive me!"
Li Su naturally would not put on airs. After some greetings, the two men addressed each other as brothers and were extremely cordial.
After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.
Li Su said, "I saw your style a few days ago. You defeated Hua Xiong and Tian Jiang with one move. I dare not say that there is no one before or after you, but there are few people in the world who can match you."
"I wonder what position you are currently holding under Governor Ding?"
"Why didn't you lead your troops to defeat Dong Zhuo's camp and establish immortal merit?"
A trace of anger flashed across Lu Bu's face, and he said helplessly: "My foster father won't allow me to do this. I am alone and helpless. What can I do?"
Li Su pretended to be shocked and murmured, "Logically speaking, my dear brother is a fierce general of the time, and Ding Yuan is your adoptive father. I shouldn't distrust you, but now..."
"Could it be that he is afraid of you?"
The anger in Lu Bu's eyes grew stronger, and the bitterness on his face grew stronger. He picked up the wine glass and drank alone.
"Don't mention it, don't mention it!"
"If there is no wise leader, what is the use of having the best military force in the world?"
"It's a pity that there was no one in the court at that time, and I didn't catch up with the opportunity to quell the Yellow Turban rebels, otherwise how could Ye Feng have happened?"
“Drink, drink!!”
"Oh, but I don't know why you came here, brother?"
Li Su smiled and said, "I'm here to give my dear brother a generous gift!"
"Someone, bring it up!!"
After saying that, he clapped his hands.
The servant who had been waiting outside led the Red Hare into the general's tent.
Lu Bu was also a man who knew and loved horses. When he saw the Red Hare, he was very impressed by its extraordinary handsomeness and the lack of a single stray hair on its body.
"Brother, why is this happening?"
Li Su said: "This is the Red Hare, which can travel a thousand miles a day and eight hundred miles a night. It can cross mountains and rivers as if it were flat ground. Currently, there is no other horse in the world that can surpass it."
"Red Rabbit?"
Lu Bu's eyes were shining, but when he thought about the ownership of the Red Hare, that is, Dong Zhuo, who was his current enemy, he instantly became a little more cautious.
"Brother is under Dong Zhuo's command? Are you here as a lobbyist today?"
Li Su said: "My dear brother, you are so brave and valiant that no one in the world can match you. A good horse is a match for a hero. This Red Hare should be yours."
"If you are trusted by Ding Yuan and hold a high position, I will not hinder your future."
"But what kind of life do you lead now?"
"He doesn't listen to my words, doesn't follow my advice, and doesn't trust me. Tu has the title of adopted son, so I have to be on guard against him everywhere."
"Is such a person worthy of you working for him?"
Although Lu Bu was moved, his face was extremely gloomy. He threw the wine glass in his hand to the ground and said, "This is putting me in an unkind and unjust position!" "A real man is born between heaven and earth. How can he be treacherous?"
"How can you be bought by a BMW?"
"In the future, the heroes of the world will not know how to laugh at me, Lu Bu."
"Brother, leave quickly, otherwise today will be the day for us to turn against each other!"
Li Su grew up with Lu Bu since childhood, how could he not know his temper?
Instead of being afraid to leave, he smiled and said, "Don't be anxious, my dear brother. Just listen to what I have to say!"
"The Red Hare is not the price you pay for joining the Grand Master. It is at most a stepping stone."
"My dear brother, you are a martial artist. The Grand Master admires you very much and has personally instructed me that as long as you lead your troops to surrender, you will be crowned a marquis after the matter is accomplished!"
"And I can also adopt you as my adopted son, and we will live in glory from now on!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Lu Bu's eyes were filled with shock.
He thought that a General of the Central Army was already a high status, but he did not expect that Dong Zhuo would make him a marquis as soon as he made his move.
How could Lu Bu not be excited when he thought about his rapid rise from a small clerk to a powerful position?
The thought of bargaining was instantly extinguished.
But he still spoke cautiously: "Brother, isn't what I just said clear enough?"
"Why do you?"
Li Su knew that Lu Bu was already tempted, so he interrupted him and said with a smile: "My dear brother, one is a bright road, with BMWs, beauties, high positions and generous salaries, everything you want."
"One is a dark fork in the road where you are not trusted and may be abandoned at any time. Is it difficult to choose?"
"As long as you nod, everything will be at your fingertips."
"As for the so-called bad reputation, let's not talk about the fact that Ding Yuan has no blood relationship with you. Just say that you are very popular and powerful. Who dares to gossip behind your back? Isn't that courting death?"
Lu Bu, who wanted to speculate twice, thought of Ding Yuan's suspicion of him, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent.
"What my brother said is true!"
"The Grand Master values me so much. If I continue to be shy, I will be letting him down."
"Tonight I will present the head of the old villain Ding Yuan to you. Brother, please tell the Grand Tutor to lead the army here."
"With the help of both inside and outside forces, great things will be accomplished!"
Li Su smiled widely: "Fengxian is indeed a hero who can accomplish great things."
"As long as you are rich and noble, don't forget each other!"
There was a gleam of excitement in Lu Bu's eyes, as if he was imagining a meteoric rise to fame.
"Hahaha!"
The hearty laughter spread far away and disappeared into the sky.
Night falls and everything becomes pitch black.
Ding Yuan, who was reading in the general's tent, suddenly heard a crow cry outside the tent.
In addition, his eyelids had been twitching during the day, which made him feel even more ominous.
This made him put down the book and feel a little uncomfortable.
Just as I was thinking about the source of this uneasy feeling, I heard a burst of hurried footsteps.
Before the guards outside could report, a burly figure rushed in.
Ding Yuan was unhappy and about to scold him when he saw that the person who came was Lu Bu. Although he was extremely dissatisfied, he still patiently asked, "My son, why did you come here so late at night?"
(Lü Bu: I want to change my adoptive father)
"Pooh!"
"How can I, a man of honor, be willing to be your adopted son?"
Ding Yuan's face changed drastically, and he quickly said, "Fengxian, why did you change your mind?"
"But Dong Zhuo."
Before he could finish his words, Lu Bu drew the sword from his waist and started to chop.
Ding Yuan only felt a flash of silver light before his eyes, and before he could react, his neck felt cold and blood spurted out.
