The Rebirth of Lu Bu in the Legend of the Heroes of the Later Han Dynasty

Yuan Shao led Yu Lin and chased them ten miles outside the city. They only saw Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong whose corpses were exposed in the wilderness, as well as a large army camp. Yuan Shao quickly left a few people to investigate and took the remaining people back to Luoyang City.

"Benchu, the emperor and King Chenliu are nowhere to be found in the palace. Are you going to gain anything from chasing the eunuchs?" Cao Cao was dressed in military uniform. He had just organized soldiers to cleanse the remnants of the eunuchs, and he had not had time to change into ordinary clothes.

"Why are the emperor and King Chenliu missing? Is this related to the army outside the city?" Yuan Shaosheng broke into a cold sweat.

"Army outside the city? Could it be that Dong Zhuo and Ding Yuan's army has arrived? I didn't advocate moving the border army to Beijing at the beginning. What should I do now? Originally, the plan to move the border army to Beijing was your suggestion. Think about it carefully. How to clean up the mess? Cao Cao returned to the West Garden." After that, Cao Cao left with a bit of anger.

"You Cao Amo, what are you so crazy about? After He Jin died, the whole dynasty was civil and military. Who else could be the general except me? Your father is the adopted son of a eunuch. After a closer look, you are also considered a member of the eunuchs. When I take power, look at me. How to treat you?" Yuan Shao scolded.

At this time, the spies had found out that the Xiliang army was stationed outside the city, and Ding Yuan did not come. Yuan Shao was overjoyed, "I think that Dong Zhuo's father was originally a servant of my Yuan family. His ancestors recommended him to join the army on the border, which is why Dong Zhuo is what he is today. Tomorrow I will go out to meet Dong Zhuo in person, and I am not afraid that he will not retreat obediently." Thinking of this, Yuan Shao entered the inner hall and spent the night having fun with He Jin's concubine. Yuan Shao had openly moved into the General's Mansion, and everything that happened to He Jin during his lifetime was taken over by him.

Early the next morning, Lu Bu came to Dong Zhuo and asked, "Mr. Dong, are you ready to enter the city? But Bu can't wait any longer."

"Hahaha, please don't be impatient. If you achieve great things, you must keep your composure. It's not too late to enter the city after dinner." Dong Zhuo looked calm.

"Don't you worry that Duke Dong is worried that the troops in the city will fight to the death to defend the city, so it will be difficult for us to enter the city?" Lu Bu asked.

"Except for Cao Mengde, I don't take any of the people in the city seriously," Dong Zhuo said.

While the two were talking, Guo Si entered the account and said, "Report, lord, there is a person outside the account who claims to be an old acquaintance of the lord and requests to meet the lord."

"Can you tell me the name of the person coming?" Dong Zhuo asked.

"The person who came here calls himself Yuan Shao." Guo Si replied.

"Yuan Shao, what's he doing here? Is it to offer the city? I'll invite you soon, and I'll also ask everyone to come to my tent. Please listen together and see what Yuan Benchu ​​wants to do?" Dong Zhuo said.

In a moment, the generals of Xiliang were divided into two sides. The leaders on both sides were the Zhonglang generals Hu Zhen and Xu Rong. Below them were the four major captains Li Jue, Guo Si, Zhang Ji, Fan Si, and the last one was the captain Hua Xiong.

"He is indeed a tiger and wolf general," Lu Bu sighed secretly. As allies, he and Dong Zhuo sat in front of the hall.

"The Xiliang army is really full of talents! Zhongying, do you still remember me, Yuan Shao?" A man came in with a smile on his face, it was Yuan Benchu.

"Ben Chu, it has been many years since we parted ways in Luoyang. Why did you come to our army today?" Dong Zhuo asked.

"Zhong Ying is asking this question knowingly. The general's order only allows you to bring 3,000 people to the capital. I think there are far more than 3,000 soldiers in your camp, right?" Yuan Shao said in a slightly reproachful tone.

"He Jin is dead. There is no need to call him one by one. To be honest, this time I led an army of 300,000 people out of Liangzhou. I attacked in four directions and occupied the entire Guanzhong. Now there are ten soldiers in my camp. Ten thousand iron cavalry can capture Luoyang City in an hour. If you are smart, open the city gate and hand over the military talisman. After entering the city, I will record your merits for you. If you want to resist, He Jin will be your role model!" Dong Zhuo's words were sharp and merciless.

"Dong Zhuo, how dare you talk to me like this? Your father is just a slave of my Yuan family. Without my grandfather's help, would you be where you are today? I came out of the city today to persuade you to surrender and hand over the emperor. I As a general, I will not treat you Xiliang army badly in the future." Yuan Shao was also merciless and domineering.

"I heard you right, right? You want to be a general? Why don't you take a pee and look in the mirror? What are you? You have only two ways now, the first is the way to survive. Kaicheng allows my army to enter Luoyang, and I will give you You keep track of your merits. The second path is a dead end. Whether you live or die, you decide for yourself." As Dong Zhuo spoke, he broke the wine glass in his hand.

"You," Yuan Shao was so angry that he couldn't speak. Just when he was about to get angry, he suddenly saw Lu Bu sitting next to Dong Zhuo.

If Dong Zhuo is the Xiliang wolf, then Lu Bu is the Bingzhou tiger. In the battle of Yecheng, Lu Bu's bravery was famous all over the world, and he also wiped out the Huns. Now it is said among the people that Lu Bu came to earth from the stars in the world and came to change the Han Dynasty.

"Fengxian, the general treated you well during his lifetime. If you contradict him, you will be killed according to the law. The general not only spared your life, but also asked you to return to your place of origin and serve as an official. Why did you commit rebellion with Dong Zhuo today?" Yuan Shao looked at Lu Bu, wanting his help.

"What a man who treats me well, bah! Who is He Jin? He is a butcher who kills pigs, but he is also worthy of being a general? He is jealous of talents, does not recognize talents, is corrupt by nature, and is extravagant. He deserves to die. If you want me to say, he should be chopped into pieces! Yuan Benchu, I tell you today, you'd better open the city gate obediently and let Duke Dong and my army enter the city. Otherwise, when the city is broken, I will destroy your three tribes. You know my methods." Lu Bu cursed.

"This is a big deal. Can I go back to the city to discuss it with the ministers?" Upon seeing this, Yuan Shao began to be obedient.

"No! I'll count to three. If you don't agree, I'll let your blood splatter three feet!" Before Dong Zhuo finished speaking, the Xiliang generals in the tent drew their sabers.

Yuan Shao was a man who had seen blood, and he was afraid at this time, "That's all, it's up to you. I'll just offer the city, but you have to promise not to touch my Yuan family members after entering the city."

"Don't worry, I promise you that after entering the city, I will not only leave your family members, but also give you an official position. Are you satisfied?" Dong Zhuo felt that he should give Yuan Shao some sweetness.

"Thank you, Duke Dong. Shao will go back and order the opening of the city and organize the people to welcome Duke Dong's army." Yuan Shao's title to Dong Zhuo has been changed to Duke Dong, which means that he has surrendered in his heart.

"Go quickly, you only have one hour. After one hour, if I don't see the city gates open, I will order an attack on the city. Then everyone will be devastated. Don't blame me." There was a hint of threat in Dong Zhuo's tone.

Yuan Shao quickly ran out of the tent, mounted his horse, ran all the way, called for the city gate to be opened, and went straight to the Xiyuan military camp.

"Mengde, quickly organize the soldiers and civilians in the city to prepare for the Xiliang army to enter the city." Yuan Shao said hurriedly.

"Brother Benchu, did I hear you correctly? There are 15 troops and 80 civilians in the city. Without resistance at all, you let the Xiliang army enter the city?" Cao Cao was very dissatisfied.

"Mengde, you have never seen the Xiliang army. They are all tigers and wolves. Even if we have a million troops, we can't resist it. The city will be destroyed and people will be devastated. It's better to surrender." Yuan Shao tried to persuade Cao Cao.

"If you want to surrender, surrender yourself. I, Cao Mengde, am a man. I would rather die than surrender!" Cao Cao pulled out his sword and ordered his sergeants to go out of the city to meet the enemy.

"It's useless. Lu Bu is here too. He and Dong Zhuo have joined forces and are aiming at Luoyang. The Emperor is also in their hands. We have no ability or reason to resist." Yuan Shao took the sword from Cao Cao's hand.

"Commanders, I am Yuan Shao, commander of the Xiyuan Army. I now order you to put down your weapons and prepare to welcome the Xiliang army into the city. Anyone who disobeys military orders will be subject to military law!" Yuan Shao stood on the high platform and said to the Xiyuan Army.

After hearing Yuan Shao's words, the Xiyuan sergeants who originally still had a hint of fighting spirit put down their weapons.

"Confused, confused! Idiot! Yuan Shao, you are just like He Jin! You are both idiots!" Cao Cao yelled.

"Come here, take Cao Mengde into custody and wait until Duke Dong enters the city to be punished." It was at this time that the friendship between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao began to crack. The two childhood playmates eventually became strangers because of their different views.

An hour later, the gates of Luoyang City opened wide, and Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu entered Luoyang City with their respective armies.

I said I would come back one day to take back everything that belongs to me! This was Lu Bu's inner monologue when he entered the city.
