Dong Zhuo happily accepted, and he offered a thousand taels of gold, a dozen pearls, and a precious jade belt. Finally, he asked Yu Yi to go with him.
Yu Yi was ready to leave, but he didn't expect Dong Zhuo to go by himself, so he and Li Su walked toward Lu Bu's camp with gifts.
When he was approaching the door, he was blocked by some guards. Yu Yi was about to use force to break out, but was stopped by Li Su, who said: "Hurry up and report to General Lu Bu. Just say that one of his old friends has arrived."
The soldiers reported this. After Lu Bu learned of the situation, he summoned Li Su and Yu Yi to meet.
After Li Su saw Lu Bu, he smiled and said, "It's been a long time, brother. How have you been these past few years?"
Lu Bu replied: "We haven't seen each other for a long time. Where are you now?"
Li Su smiled and asked Yu Yi to present the gift, and said: "This young man's name is Yu Yi, and I am now serving as a general in the imperial court. I heard that brother, you want to help the country and do some great things. I feel I’m very happy. Now there is a good horse that can travel thousands of miles in a day. It is called Red Rabbit and is dedicated to you today!”
After saying that, Yu Yi went outside, brought in the red rabbit horse, and placed it in front of Lu Bu.
Lu Bu observed that the horse was as red as charcoal, with not a single hair on it. It was one foot long from head to tail, and eight feet high from hoof to neck. It screamed and roared, and it didn't look like a mortal thing.
Lu Bu was originally a military commander, but he had never found a good mount. This red rabbit seemed to have been born for him, and he was very happy.
Lu Bu took the Red Rabbit Horse under his command, turned around, and asked, "You gave me such a good horse, how should I repay you?"
Li Su smiled and said: "Brother, you are out of touch when you say this. I am here for the loyalty of our brothers, but I am just coveting your reward."
Lu Bu nodded, very satisfied, and said, "You and Yu Yi will stay here together. I'll treat you to a meal."
"I'm afraid..." Li Su looked at Yu Yi with a look of embarrassment on his face.
Yu Yi thought in his mind, you old fox, you obviously want to eat, and further persuade him, but you are pretending to prove that you are giving the horse out of loyalty, and you want to leave right now.
Thinking of this section, Yu Yi stepped forward and said with a smile: "If this is the case, that would be great!"
Li Su pointed at Yu Yi and said, "Yu Yi is young and doesn't understand etiquette. Please forgive me!"
Lu Bu shook his head and said it was okay, so the two of them joined the banquet and drank some fine wine. Li Su said, "Brother and I, you don't see each other very often. If you drink like this, will your father come and punish us?"
Lu Bu laughed and said, "I think you are drunk, brother. My father has been dead for many years. Why do you come here and punish me?"
Li Su toasted to Lu Bu and said, "I'm not talking about your biological father, but Ding Yuan, the governor of Jingzhou."
Lu Bu suddenly felt a little panicked and said, "I am helpless here in Ding Yuan."
Li Su further provoked him and said: "Brother, you have the ability to reach the sky. You cannot surrender anywhere in the world. Fame and wealth are like searching for something for you. How can you say that it is a helpless act here in Dingyuan?"
Yu Yi added: "I think General Lu's martial arts skills are unparalleled. After having Red Rabbit, he is so powerful. How can he still be helpless?"
After saying this, Yu Yi was also a little surprised. He actually started to imitate others in making false promises.
Lu Bu looked at Yu Yi and sighed: "I was born at the wrong time and did not meet a wise master."
With these words as a foreshadowing, Li Su knew that the matter was already half successful, so he stood up and said: "As the old saying goes, good birds choose trees to roost, and good ministers choose their masters to do their work. If you don't seize the opportunity, you will..." Regretful."
Lu Bu was originally puzzled by this, and found that Li Su was doing better than him, so he asked: "Brother, who do you think can be called the Lord of Ming in the court now?"
Yu Yi rushed to the front and said: "My eldest brother Liu Bei is the master of the Ming Dynasty."
Li Su glared at Yu Yi and said: "Liu Bei is just a magistrate of Pingyuan County, how can he be the master of the Ming Dynasty? Let me tell you, Dong Zhuo has 200,000 mercenaries, and he has a very high position in the court, not to mention the ministers Everyone admires him very much, he also knows rewards and punishments clearly, this is a wise master, a person who can achieve great things."
Lu Bu bowed and said, "I want to find him, but there is no way!"
Li Su signaled to Lu Bu and asked Yu Yi to go out together.
Yuyi knew that he was afraid that he would say nonsense and start paying bribes.
Li Su took out the treasure and jade belt and placed them in front of Lu Bu. Lu Bu was a little surprised and said, "Brother, what are you doing?"
Li Su replied: "This is because Dong Zhuo, the leader of the Ming Dynasty, admires your name and specially asked me to give these things to you. He also gave the red rabbit horse to you. He values you very much."
Lu Bu took the things and sighed: "Dong Zhuo cherishes my talent so much, how can I repay him?"
Li Su said: "Look at me, with my poor talent, I can be a good general. If you go to Dong Zhuo, think about how noble you will be!"
Lu Bu sighed again: "I don't have much merit now. If I want to take refuge with him, how can I show my sincerity?"
Li Su smiled while stroking his palms and said: "The credit is just in front of you, you just don't want to do it."
Lu Bu hesitated for a long time and said, "Do you think if I kill Dong Zhuo's enemy Ding Yuan, will he be very happy?"
Li Su stood up abruptly, showing a very solemn look, and said: "If this is the case, then you have made a great contribution. This matter should not be delayed, we must act immediately, otherwise the information will be exposed, and we will all There is danger.”
Yu Yi was still lingering outside the tent. When he saw Li Su walking out with a smile on his face, he knew that the matter was done. On the way back, Li Su asked Yuyi, "Why do you do that?"
Yu Yi just smiled and said, "That's just my opinion. It's relatively crude. How can it be compared with Mr.'s?"
Li Su thought about it for a while. Lu Bu asked who the Ming Dynasty was in the court, and Yu Yi just expressed his own thoughts and had no other thoughts.
After a while, Lu Bu also walked out of the tent, held Li Su's hand and said, "I will surrender with a gift tomorrow. You can talk about it first when you go back."
"what gift?"
Yuyi asked.
Li Su just smiled and said nothing, "It has nothing to do with you!" After that, he walked away.
Yu Yi thought, at the banquet hosted by Dong Zhuo, only Ding Yuan spoke up. If it weren't for Lu Bu, he would have died on the spot. Now that he had alienated Lu Bu, he would definitely be in danger. He wanted to go and report the news, but Li Su kept insisting. Near Yuyi, there is no chance, so I can only sigh in my heart.
It was already late at night after returning to his residence. Yuyi wrote a letter by candlelight, hoping to feed back to his eldest brother Liu Bei one by one what happened during this period.
