At this moment, Ding Yuan was discussing the next thing with Wang Yun. After all, if Dong Zhuo were to control the government alone now. Then it means that their life and death are also under Dong Zhuo's control. How could these two people allow such a situation.
Wang Yun first spoke: "Except for Yuan Shao, no one in the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty dared to comment on what happened today."
"Isn't this precisely because Dong Zhuo has soldiers and generals, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the current DPRK is dominated by Dong Zhuo."
"He also lives in the palace. Although he is called Grand Master, he actually controls the country and the country of the Han Dynasty. What should we do now?"
Wang Yun is indeed an old fox, knowing clearly that Ding Yuan has soldiers in his hands. And although there were not as many as Dong Zhuo, Wang Yun knew that Ding Yuan had a adopted son who was a powerful general worthy of all the troops.
Therefore, Wang Yun is now planning Lu Bu under Ding Yuan. It can also be said that Ding Yuan wanted to use Lu Bu as a spearman. After all, he was just a civil servant.
There are no soldiers and horses in hand, so among them, only Ding Yuan is suitable to resist Dong Zhuo. Because in other places, water far away cannot save the fire nearby.
And now that Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty has died, most of the border ministers will listen to the announcement but not the instructions. For example, when Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty passed away, the two big families of Xiliang, Ma Dai and Han, did not come to express their condolences.
Moreover, the Ma family is also a noble family. Among positions, the level of grace is no more than a cup of tea.
Besides, Yuan Shu of the Yuan family was honored as the shepherd of Nanyang Prefecture. Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty also appreciated his wife as the first-grade imperial concubine, but did not come to express condolences.
And Ding Yuan might be really loyal to the Han Dynasty, so when Wang Yun raised this issue. Ding Yuan also said directly: "This matter is not difficult. I have a strong general under my command. This man is my adopted son, although I can really mobilize only five thousand soldiers and horses now."
"But with my son Lu Bu's ability, I don't think defeating Dong Zhuo is a problem."
"This time, just wait for me to go back and explain to him the reasons for everything. Then I will lead my troops and horses directly through the west gate and take only Thief Dong's head."
"This matter may not be possible."
If it were ordinary soldiers and horses, Ding Yuan's plan might really succeed. But these flying bear troops are different from Dong Zhuo's other troops. These people are really willing to die for Dong Zhuo.
Because in the year of great famine, Dong Zhuo not only took them in. They also feed their families and have meat every meal. Under Dong Zhuo's constant brainwashing, these people were absolutely loyal to Dong Zhuo.
Moreover, Dong Zhuo also had three major Xiliang generals under his command. They are Hua Xiong, Guo Si, and Li Jue. Although these people are not as strong as Lu Bu, their strength cannot be underestimated.
Wang Yun was not surprised at all when he heard Ding Yuan's answer. Because he knew that all this was expected.
Wang Yun is different from all of them. He can be a loyal minister, but he can also be a powerful minister. In this regard, even Yuan Wei feels ashamed.
Moreover, Wang Yun can often plan many important things well, but he also puts himself out of it. Just like when Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was in power, Shi Changshi was extremely powerful. Wang Yun was not affected at all, because he seemed to be able to deal with these people's gang fights with ease.
And he hasn't lost anything yet, not just because he is Situ. It is because of the wisdom in his mind that he still maintains his own style in such a court.
As for Cai Yong, comparing him to Wang Yun is just pedantic.
Wang Yun: "In that case, let's get started without further delay. Brother Jianyang, go and prepare quickly. When the time comes, we can capture the Dong thief in one fell swoop."
"Give this man a bright future."
Wang Yun, an old guy, can scheme against anyone. It can be said that he did everything possible, but unfortunately the ending was not that good, he just earned himself the title of a loyal minister.
Ding Yuan: "If that's the case, then I'll go back and prepare."
"It won't take long before we can bring troops to rescue the Emperor."
It's just that they all forgot one thing. Dong Zhuo's men not only had the 30,000-strong Flying Bear Army, but also the 100,000-strong Xiliang Army.
Moreover, Hua Xiong is now leading troops to Luoyang. It won't take long to arrive. By the time Ding Yuan comes back, Dong Zhuo's subordinate Hua Xiong has already led his troops to Luoyang.
But Ding Yuan didn't know that he had just walked away. Wang Yun sold him out, and even Lu Bu's preferences were revealed to Dong Zhuo one by one.
Dong Zhuo discussed with Li Ru in the harem: "Now Ding Yuan is raising his troops to rebel against the Grand Master, and he has a adopted son under his command."
"No one in our Xiliang army can defeat me. Do you have a good plan?"
Li Ru had already received the news that Wang Yun deliberately spread, so he said: "Master Taishi, I have a good plan and a bad plan. I don't know which one you want to use?"
"The next best thing is to deploy heavy troops where the opponent enters the city gate. Even if the opponent is ten thousand enemies, it doesn't matter. The archers will fire thousands of arrows. Even if the opponent is a ghost or god, he will still lose a layer of skin if he doesn't die."
"In this way, if we press forward with heavy troops, we can win this battle."
After hearing this, Dong Zhuo said: "This plan is not appropriate. The Flying Bear Army is my heart and soul. We cannot lose too much. If it were an ordinary Xiliang Army, I would allow you to do this."
"Tell me your best strategy."
Dong Zhuo rejected Li Ru's suggestion without hesitation. He was afraid that the loss would be too great. After all, each of these Flying Bear Army members was his family's fortune.
He couldn't bear to be defeated like this, after all, it was really not worth it.
Li Ru continued: "The best strategy is very simple. All we need to do is attack the heart. Ding Yuan has an adopted son under his knee. He is also a fierce general. We can start with him."
"It's just that I don't know if the Grand Master is willing to part with your treasure."
How could a person like Dong Zhuo cultivate an army like the Flying Bear Army if he was unwilling to part with such extraneous things as property? So Dong Zhuo immediately said: "It's just a mere property, what's the point of not being willing to part with it?"
"If you can defeat the enemy without fighting, it doesn't matter even if you spend ten thousand gold."
After Li Ru heard Dong Zhuo's agreement, he continued: "I heard that Lu Bu loves three things very much. The first is precious horses, the second is beauty, and the third is treasure."
"We can completely do what he likes. Isn't there a bloody horse named Red Rabbit in Master Baojun's stable?"
"No one in the army can surrender him. We can give him to Ding Yuan's adopted son Lu Bu."
"As for beauties, there are so many concubines in the palace. You can let Lu Bu choose as you like. As long as he is satisfied, it doesn't matter."
"There are countless jewels in the palace. You can send someone to bring a few boxes of better-looking ones to give to Lu Bu."
"This way, things will work out!"
This is Li Ru's best strategy and the most critical step. As long as Lu Bu is dug out, the remaining Ding Yuan and the army will not be afraid at all.
In Li Ru's impression, the bravery of the Flying Bear Army was not unfounded. He believed that even the best soldiers under Ding Yuan could not compare to the Yulin Guards in the palace, let alone the Flying Bear Army.
Dong Zhuo: "In that case, let's do what you said."
"I leave all this to you. We must make Ding Yuan's adopted son Lu Bu ours."
After Dong Zhuo finished speaking, he started playing with the beauty next to him. In his opinion, as long as he has Li Ru's help, he doesn't need to be afraid of other people.
Moreover, Li Ru was still his son-in-law, so there was no need to worry about betrayal.
And when Ding Yuan came to Luoyang according to the expected plan, he died in a rain of arrows as soon as he called the formation. Even Lu Bu couldn't save him, so they didn't even see Dong Zhuo in the first round of the fight and lost their general.
Now the entire army is dominated by Lu Bu.
Lu Bu then ordered people to set up camp not far outside the city, preparing to launch a general attack tomorrow.
At this time, Li Ru's plan began. Li Ru went to Li Su and said, "I hope what you told me is true, otherwise I will cut you into pieces."
"But if the matter is settled, I will also give you a reward."
Li Su: "Sir, please rest assured, I will definitely handle the matter properly. When the time comes, I hope you can say a few nice words for me in front of the Grand Master."
Then he took the red rabbit horse and some jewelry to Lu Bu's military camp.
However, when I walked outside the camp, I was stopped. So he said: "Tell your General Lu that an old friend is here to see you."
Soon, Lu Bu came out of the military camp to meet Li Su and said, "We haven't seen each other for a long time. Where are you staying now?"
"If you don't mind, you can come and serve as a general under my wise brother."
Li Su saluted and said, "I haven't seen you for a long time. I hope you are well."
"I am now the powerful general of the Han Dynasty. I came here today to act on orders."
"I heard that the wise brother is a righteous person and is willing to resist for the great cause of the Han Dynasty. I really admire him and can't bear that the wise brother sacrifices his life for others' selfish interests."
"So this time I brought three boxes of gold, silver and jewelry, totaling ten thousand gold."
"A rare good horse in the world. I think no one in the world can conquer it except you, my virtuous brother."
Then he led the red rabbit out, and Lu Bu fell in love with the red rabbit and horse at a glance. He also knew that this Chitu was the most suitable for him. Even though he was very moved in his heart, he still reluctantly refused and said, "Brother, please come back. I can't do such a treacherous thing."
"Besides, Governor Ding is still my adopted father. As an adopted son, how can I not avenge him?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Su knew that the matter was half done. So he said: "Brother, you and I haven't seen each other for many years, can you please invite me to a banquet?"
"It's good to catch up on old times, isn't it?"
After Li Su finished speaking, he smiled. He didn't say a word about what Lu Bu just said, and directly changed the subject. He knew that all he had to do was give Lu Bu a step down.
