Dong Zhuo and the princes of the Eighteenth Route had been hiding in Hulao Pass after the battle in Chenggao, waiting for the princes to change according to Li Ru's suggestion.

After waiting for a few days, he received a shocking news that Cao Shuo went back to Jizhou to recuperate.

"Come on, call Fengxian!"

"promise!"

After a while, Lu Bu came to Dong Zhuo's residence.

"What does foster father want from me?"

"I heard that Cao Shuo went back to Jizhou to recover from his injuries. Do you know if his injuries are serious?"

"Healing? I don't know!"

Lu Bu was stupefied, he fought with Cao Shuo for so long, Cao Shuo was not injured at all, he must have some kind of conspiracy for his injury.

However, Dong Zhuo was not happy when he heard Lu Bu's answer. Don't you know if he is hurt?He is your son-in-law.

"Did you ever hurt him on the battlefield?"

"No, I think he must have some conspiracy!"

"No?"

Dong Zhuo became even more angry, you two have been fighting for so long, yet you didn't get hurt at all, are you putting on a show for me?

He suddenly remembered a situation reported to him by the soldiers, and asked with a gloomy face: "On the battlefield, Cao Shuo claimed that he wanted you to wait for an opportunity to murder me. Is there such a thing?"

Lv Bu's heart trembled, he didn't expect Dong Zhuo to believe such nonsense, and he suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

"I have absolutely no such intentions, it's the trick of that villain Cao Shuo."

Obviously, Dong Zhuo didn't believe Lu Bu's explanation, and continued to ask, "I heard that Wei Xu was captured by Cao Shuo on the battlefield and then released again. Is there such a thing?"

"Yes!"

"Is he here to serve as an undercover agent for Cao Shuo?"

"No, when Cao Shuo wanted to kill him, Wen'er pleaded for him, and Cao Shuo let him go."

"Is that so?"

"Yes!"

Dong Zhuo's eyelids twitched unconsciously, and he continued to ask: "Feng Xian, Cao Shuo was on the battlefield, did he ever persuade you to surrender?"

"He said it, but I refused."

Dong Zhuo snorted coldly, not knowing whether he was laughing at Cao Shuo or dissatisfied with Lu Bu's answer.

"Fengxian, the Baibo army in Hedong County rose everywhere, the Xiongnu plundered the people, and Niu Fu was defeated in Hedong County. You lead your soldiers and go to Hedong County to bring me back the heads of several leaders of Baibo Yellow Turban."

Lu Bu said worriedly:
"What about the Hulao Pass? The Eighteenth Route princes are still outside the pass, and there are many capable people under them. I am worried that my foster father will be lost."

"It's okay, I just can't stick to it, and they can't do anything to me."

"promise!"

"Does foster father have any other orders?"

Dong Zhuo asked coldly: "No, you go as soon as possible!"

After Lü Bu left, Dong Zhuo called Niu Fu over and told him, "Take care of Lü Bu's family and never let them leave Luoyang."

"promise!"

Lu Bu returned to his camp and summoned his generals to discuss matters.

Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Hao Meng, Cao Xing, Wei Xu, Song Xian, and Hou Cheng all came to Lu Bu's big tent.

Cao Xing asked eagerly, "Marquis Wen, why are you recruiting us so urgently?"

"Xiangguo sent me to Hedong County to suppress the rebellion of the Baibo army and the Xiongnu."

Lu Bu knew that once he left, he might never come back.

Hao Meng asked suspiciously: "The battle at Hulao Pass is tense, why did Xiangguo adjust the temperature and leave?"

Zhang Liao said in a low voice, "Marquis Wen, does Dong Zhuo suspect you?"

Lv Bu nodded, Dong Zhuo didn't trust him anymore, this damned Cao Shuo actually gave him a bad impression, the abominable Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo believed in a simple plan of alienation.

Song Xian said angrily: "We have done so many evil things for Dong Zhuo, but in the end we still don't trust us."

Hou Cheng said: "If you want me to tell you, we can get rid of Dong Zhuo directly, and save ourselves from being angry under his tent."

Wei Xu suggested: "Marquis Wen, look at Cao Zixiang's suggestion, do you think about it?"

"Ok?"

Lu Bu glared at him. Cao Shuo asked him to leave Dong Zhuo and continue to return to Bingzhou. Wei Xu had already told him about it, but he must not abandon Dong Zhuo for no reason.

Gao Shun, who had never been fond of words, suddenly said: "Marquis Wen, Dong Zhuo has gone against the law, violated human relations, stolen the Luoyang imperial tomb, and wrecked the harem. If we continue to follow, I'm afraid that sooner or later we will be ruined."

Lu Bu worried: "Our family members are all in Luoyang. Once they leave Dong Zhuo, they will be persecuted by Dong Zhuo. What should we do?"

Song Xian suggested: "Why don't we take advantage of the time to go to Hedong and pass through Luoyang to attack the city, rob the emperor, and rescue his family."

Zhang Liao hurriedly stopped him and said, "No, it's too dangerous. Dong Zhuo wouldn't have thought that we would take this opportunity to attack Luoyang, and Li Ru is a man of wit and scheming, so we must not take such a risk, otherwise we will not only fail to save them, but will harm them."

Gao Shun said: "Marquis Wen, when Cao Zixiang rescued Empress Tang with tricks, Dong Zhuo and Li Ru were playing tricks, so why don't we ask Cao Shuo for help?"

"To shut up!"

Lv Bu yelled angrily, how could he ask Cao Shuo for help, his current situation was thanks to him, he wished he could tear Cao Shuo to pieces and burn his bones to ashes.

Zhang Liao also understood what Lu Bu was thinking. He was afraid of losing face, so he refused to ask Cao Shuo.

Zhang Liao glanced at Wei Xu, and Wei Xu said knowingly: "I and Wen Hou are cousins, and Wen Hou treats me well. I didn't want to betray Wen Hou, but Wen'er saved my life on the battlefield and let me surrender." Cao Shuo, I must repay the grace of saving my life."

"Marquis Wen is going to Hedong County this time, please forgive me for not being able to accompany you!"

"you……"

Lu Bu didn't expect Wei Xu to leave anyway, and he didn't blame Wei Xu, after all, Cao Shuo had the grace of not killing him, and Lu Wen had the grace of saving his life.

"Wen'er is alone in Jizhou, you can protect me from now on, don't let her be wronged."

"Brother, don't worry, as long as Wei Xu has a mouthful, he will never let others hurt Wen'er."

"Brother, take care!"

"Brothers, take care!"

Taking advantage of the darkness, Wei Xu left Hulao Pass. He had to rush to Yecheng as soon as possible, and asked Cao Shuo to give him an idea to rescue the family members in Luoyang City.

"Zhang Liao, gather all the Bingzhou soldiers tomorrow morning. We will inform Dong Zhuo and leave for Hedong County."

"promise!"

"Gao Shun, you go back to Luoyang and protect our family members. As long as I haven't left Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo must not let them hurt them."

"promise!"

After Lu Bu explained everything, it was already late at night. He walked out of the camp and looked up at the bright moon in the sky.

"Hey, the world is so big, where is my shelter."

I thought that following Dong Zhuo would soar into the sky, but I didn't expect that Dong Zhuo just wanted to use his bravery, so he gave himself an empty head, and he was still commanding his own soldiers, his own generals.

"Report, Marquis Wen, there is a scribe outside the village asking to see you."

"Scribe?"

Lu Bu looked puzzled, he had never made friends with any scholars, could it be Li Ru?
"Please come in!"
