Early the next morning.
Dong Zhuo took a rare opportunity to bring a few soldiers to the army's camp outside the city. At this moment, the tent was being raised to discuss matters.
"You're saying that there was some strange movement at Ding Yuan's garrison last night, and there seemed to be shouts of killing?"
Dong Zhuo, who was burly and as strong as a bear and tiger, sat in the chief seat and asked in a low voice.
"Reporting back to the general, that's exactly what happened. According to our outpost reports, there was a lot of movement in Ding Yuan's camp last night. There were obvious weapons clashing and shouts of killing."
"Subsequently, there were minor movements in several other garrisons. I apologize for not knowing what happened between them and why they were connected."
Dong Zhuo nodded, waved his hand for the general to stand up, then his eyes were slightly closed, and he began to think silently.
First there were changes in Ding Yuan's camp, and then there were several other forces. It seemed that the problem lay with Ding Yuan.
Either this old guy is planning to cause trouble.
Or there was something going on inside him.
When he thought of this, Dong Zhuo's eyes suddenly lit up and he couldn't help but straighten up.
Could it be that Mr. Cao had accomplished something and successfully instigated Lu Bu's rebellion, which was why there was such a big fuss?
If this is the case, then we must quickly send someone to Cao's Mansion to ask. First, we must know Lu Bu's current movements.
Just as Dong Zhuo was rubbing his hands in excitement.
Suddenly a messenger came to report.
"General, there is a man named Lu Bu outside the tent who has come to see you!"
Dong Zhuo was stunned at first.
Then he stood up suddenly, with an expression of uncontrollable excitement on his face. He really said Lu Bu, Lu Bu is here!
"Oh, please come in quickly!"
While giving instructions, he also arranged his clothes and armor, as if he wanted to leave a good impression on Lu Bu.
…
Outside the camp, Lu Bu, who was waiting quietly with a square-shaped halberd in hand, also looked around carefully.
I saw that the military formations were neat and orderly, the soldiers were full of energy, and the soldiers on patrol were all marching in order. These few points alone showed the combat effectiveness of this army.
Flags were fluttering in the military camp, and the soldiers' weapons, armor and other equipment were quite mature. This was not something that could be achieved with a little financial resources.
In comparison, the place where I originally stayed was simply too poor, and the armor rate was pitifully low.
One is in heaven and the other is underground!
Brother Cao was indeed right. Dong Zhuo indeed had some financial resources, and the military strength under his command was also impressive.
Mr. Dong really has the foundation for success!
Oops, Brother Cao is such a trustworthy person that he introduced me to a good place!
Soon, the messengers who had gone in to report ran out in twos and twos, and greeted Lu Bu all the way to the Chinese army's tent.
At a glance, he saw Dong Zhuo standing in the tent with excitement on his face.
Lu Bu walked up to the tent in two or two steps, then put down the Fangtian Painted Halberd and said with a hearty laugh.
"Bu heard that Mr. Dong has always longed for talents and valued wise people in the world, so he abandoned the dark and surrendered to the bright, so he came here to join him!"
"I hope Mr. Dong will not give up his contempt and let Bu be able to do useful things with his body!"
Dong Zhuo took two steps forward with a face full of joy and ran straight to Lu Bu.
"Oh! I got a general, it's like a drought-stricken seedling getting sweet rain!"
After saying that, Dong Zhuo knelt down on one knee and prepared to give Lu Bu a big salute.
Lu Bu was immediately shocked.
Unexpectedly, Mr. Dong thinks so highly of me!
He was always the only one to salute others, but there was never a time when others saluted him in such a great way.
What's more, with Dong Zhuo's status, he was at least several steps higher than himself, but now he was condescending.
A person who treats virtuous people like this will surely achieve great achievements, and you will never suffer any loss by following him.
It can be seen from this.
What a scheming person Dong Zhuo was.
It stands to reason that talents like Lu Bu, who he spent a lot of money to hire, will become his subordinates in the future.
There is no need to give such a big gift. It's not like you are helping me for free. I have to pay a high official's salary.
But Dong Zhuo still did it.
A two-pronged approach, both material satisfaction and spiritual comfort, is indeed very powerful to win people's hearts in this way.
…
Seeing that Dong Zhuo was about to kneel in front of him.
Lu Bu quickly took hold of Dong Zhuo with both hands and helped Dong Zhuo up forcefully.
"Mr. Dong, please get up quickly!"
"Dong Gong, please sit down, please sit down!"
After helping Dong Zhuo sit down, Lu Bu turned back to where he was standing.
Just kneel down.
Finally, he put his hands in front of his body and spoke impassionedly in his heart.
"Lü Bu has been wandering for half his life. He only regrets that he has never met his master. If you don't abandon me, Bu, I would like to be your adopted father!"
After saying that, he knelt down in the tent and refused to get up.
Seeing such a situation.
Dong Zhuo was so excited.
He couldn't help but burst out laughing, and he kept saying it.
"I have to serve first. It's really a calamity sent by God. My son, get up quickly, my son, get up quickly!"
Hearing Dong Zhuo tell him to stand up, Lu Bu knelt straight again.
Looking at his face again at this time, I found that there was already a vague look of crying on his face, and his words were even more crying.
"My adoptive father is above me, and my son will follow his adoptive father from now on. He will go through fire and water, and will do whatever it takes to help my adoptive father, and we will work together to achieve a great cause!"
After saying that, he bowed to the end again.
The smile on Dong Zhuo's face hasn't stopped since Lu Bu came in, and he was already in high spirits.
At this moment, he stood up laughing.
"I have Fengxian, and big things will definitely succeed!"
"Follow my son!"
"My son is here!"
Lu Bu entered the state very quickly. In just a few sentences, he was already able to call himself his son quite smoothly. I wonder if this was a skill he had developed under Ding Yuan.
I saw Lu Bu looking submissive.
Dong Zhuo felt very satisfied.
Ding Yuan, Ding Yuan, you old man, you dare to humiliate me in the court, trample my face to the ground in front of so many civil and military officials.
Today I will let you know how powerful it is!
Now that the only adopted son you, an old man, rely on has surrendered to me, let’s see how your old dog barks when the court meeting resumes in a few days!
Think of this.
Dong Zhuo's thoughts couldn't help but stray to Cao Ang.
He is also quite satisfied with Cao Ang now.
Zi Xiuxian’s nephew is truly a trustworthy person!
When he said he would turn Lu Bu over, he did what he said without any adulteration.
Although the charge was a bit expensive, with hundreds of kilograms of gold and a red rabbit horse, Dong Zhuo couldn't afford to drive it many times at such a price.
But people do things after receiving money!
What I'm afraid of is that if I don't get things done after receiving the money, then no matter how cheap the fee is, it will be all in vain.
Sure enough, people have their own reasons for being expensive.
If you have other needs in the future, you can probably ask Cao Ang for help.
After a while thoughts ran through my mind.
Dong Zhuo then patted Lu Bu who was standing beside him.
"Son, since you have followed your adoptive father, your father will never treat you badly."
"From today on, you will be riding as a captain, and then as a lieutenant general. I will also give you a set of golden helmets and golden armor. If you achieve great achievements in the future, I will not be stingy even if you are granted the title of marquis!"
…
ps. Thanks for the two monthly tickets of "Call Me Lao Wang Thank You", you are my god!
