Lu Bu left.
He walked vigorously and resolutely, as if he was going to plan something big. I wonder if Ding Yuan's neck is strong enough to withstand Lu Bu's halberd.
Thinking of this, Cao Ang quickly got busy.
He didn't want Ding Yuan to die in such a daze. It would be too worthless.
At this stage, as long as he is alive in Luoyang City, Ding Yuan can play his greatest role, which is also a development branch that maximizes his own interests.
After all, once Ding Yuan is stabbed to death by Lu Bu, all the thousands of elite soldiers he has at his disposal will be eaten by Dong Zhuo.
Dong Zhuo, who was already powerful, would expand instantly. Under the ebb and flow, Dong Zhuo would be able to completely control the entire city of Luoyang in a few days.
This is very against Cao Ang's interests.
Whether Luoyang is in chaos or not, I, Cao Zixiu, have the final say.
Only when Luoyang City is in chaos and all forces are involved, can we fish in such a muddy water and swim in it to obtain the benefits of all parties.
But if Dong Zhuo were to overwhelm the sky and capture the entire city of Luoyang so quickly, it would completely become a backwater, and Dong Zhuo's demand for Cao Ang would drop to freezing point.
So how can he profit from it?
Just like the King of War arms dealer, everyone must fight to the death in order for his arms to be sold.
If they shake hands and make peace, and there is a peaceful scene, then he will go bankrupt and his weapons will have to be put in the warehouse to rust.
…
It's quiet at night.
In the garrison camp located north of Xiamen in Luoyang City, Ding Yuan was reading books in the Chinese army tent by candlelight.
Among the military commanders of this era, there were few reckless men who could not read a word of Chinese characters. Especially those who were able to achieve high positions were even more proficient in writing.
And military attachés like Ding Yuan, who were not pure, preferred to read and write in their free time.
But just when he was reading vigorously, there was a sudden commotion outside the camp, accompanied by the sound of many soldiers running around and shouting wildly.
"What happened?"
Ding Yuan cautiously picked up his sword and leaned sideways against the curtain. He did not dare to stick it out at will until he was sure of the situation.
"Reporting back to the general, a haystack near the camp is flooded. The fire is threatening to burn towards us, so the brothers are busy putting it out."
Ding Yuan finally let go of his worries. It would have been easier if Dong Zhuo took advantage of the night to attack.
Ding Yuan opened the curtain and walked out. He first looked at the direction of the fire and frowned when he saw thick smoke rising into the sky.
"Fire is a serious matter in the center of the military camp. Let's ask a few more people to go over and put out the fire. You guys should maintain the discipline in the army and tell the others not to run around and scream."
After receiving the order, the soldiers guarding the door of the camp quickly started to do things as instructed. Only then did Ding Yuan turn around and return to the camp.
But just opened the curtain.
His eyes suddenly condensed.
There was an arrow stuck quietly on the ground, with a white cloth wrapped around the end of the arrow shaft. When Ding Yuan came in, the arrow was still trembling.
First, he walked around the tent to confirm that no one was hiding in the tent, and then found a hole in the tent wall, which was obviously where the arrow had been shot.
After connecting the events that had just happened, Ding Yuan instantly understood what was going on.
In all likelihood, the fire and the commotion in the military camp were caused by this unknown person, whose purpose was to shoot the arrow into his tent without anyone noticing.
Moreover, looking at the direction of the arrow, it was on the ground near the front of the tent, not on the table, indicating that this person had no intention of harming his own life, probably to bring the circle of white cloth in front of him.
After thinking clearly, Ding Yuan silently pulled out the arrow, untied the white cloth, and approached the candlelight. Sure enough, there were a few lines of text written on it.
Ding Yuan was shocked when he glanced over.
He almost shouted and asked the soldiers to catch the mysterious man who had escaped.
"Dong Zhuo bribed him with a lot of money. Under the inducement, Lu Bu has rebelled and will assassinate the general within a few days. You must be careful and don't be alone in the room with Lu Bu. Remember!"
This is the content of the text on the cloth strip.
In order to obscure their identity, the mysterious person deliberately wrote these words in a crooked and extremely ugly handwriting.
But no matter how ugly these words were, the content they described was like a red-hot iron, leaving a deep mark on Ding Yuan's heart.
Lu Bu...rebelled?
Ding originally didn't believe it, thinking that this matter was probably the work of some conspirator in Luoyang City, or even a drama directed and performed by Dong Zhuo.
After all, if he and Lu Bu were close, Dong Zhuo would have nothing to do about the current situation, and it would not be surprising at all that he would resort to such a tactic to alienate each other.
Otherwise, Lu Bu had previously been in love with him as his biological father and son. He treated him with great kindness and never treated him badly. He would take him with him wherever he went, and he would even take care of his family.
No matter how deep this kind of kindness is, it doesn't mean that Lu Bu can betray him so easily, right?
What's more, Lu Bu has been acting completely normal these days, and there is nothing wrong with him at all. He is still very respectful to himself and calls himself his adopted father.
wrong! ! !
There is an omission!
Ding Yuan remembered that Lu Bu was acting normal these days just because he had never had contact with Dong Zhuo before.
But yesterday morning I took him to Deyang Palace and used force to intimidate Dong Zhuo. From the time he came back from the palace to this moment, he had not met Lu Bu for two days and one night.
It is entirely possible that something unexpected happened to Lu Bu.
As the saying goes, it is better to believe that something exists than to believe something does not exist, especially when this matter concerns one's own life.
As the person closest to Lu Bu in the first half of his life, Ding Yuan knew very well how powerful his adopted son was. If the two of them were alone in a room, Lu Bu could kill him with one blow before his own soldiers rushed in.
However, the relationship between the two of them is that of adopted father and adopted son. Without this white cloth as a warning, Ding Yuan would never have had any vigilance or precaution against Lu Bu.
Based on this analysis, the content written on the banner is very likely. Lu Bu has the ability and opportunity to assassinate himself.
Whether it's a conspiracy or it's true.
Ding Yuan didn't dare to take risks, he didn't dare to make fun of his own life.
So after thinking about it again and again, Ding Yuan quietly ordered a soldier to bring a soldier from the soldiers commanded by Lu Bu.
Looking at the soldier who was kneeling down on one knee, Ding Yuan spoke coldly without any emotion or warmth in his tone.
"Tell me about General Lu's movements in the past two days. Apart from being in the military camp and at home, where else have you been?"
"Reporting to the Lord, General Lu was in the military camp all day yesterday and only went out for a banquet at noon today."
Ding Yuan's eyes narrowed.
A murderous look gradually appeared on his face.
