The Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

Dong Zhuo, who could not succeed in his plan, asked Ding Yuan to bribe the guards around him, and pretended to write a letter about Lv Bu's affair with him, deliberately letting Ding Yuan know that when Ding Yuan summoned Lv Bu to confront him, the guards suddenly attacked and wanted to kill Ding Yuan. Originally, put the blame on Lu Bu.

Who knows, Lv Bu violently killed the guards, but Ding Yuan was still stabbed and died soon. Before he died, Ding Yuan came up with a plan to let Lv Bu hold his head to meet Dong Zhuo, cheat Dong Zhuo's trust, and wait for an opportunity Kill Dong Zhuo.

Later, Dong Zhuo really died at the hands of Lu Bu.

As for this story, there is no way to verify whether it is true or not. Anyway, Liu Zheng will not be able to see it, because history has been rewritten by him, and Emperor Hanling has been dead for several years.

The famous Grand Master Dong Zhuo might never have the chance to be a Grand Master in this life, so he could only stay in Xiliang and become his Xiliang governor.

"The Han Dynasty is already at sunset. If it hadn't been supported by a few respected old generals, it would have collapsed long ago."

The old generals in Lu Bu's mouth are Ding Yuan, Lu Zhi, Dong Zhuo and others.

Without Ding Yuan, Lu Zhi and others, relying on He Miao himself, he would definitely not be able to suppress this chaotic uprising of princes.

"The current imperial court will inevitably perish, because he will be terminated by my own hands. Brother Fengxian, you said that you have been under Ding Yuan's subordinates, and you have spent your whole life fighting all your life. I am afraid that you will only be the governor of Bingzhou. Do you want to be the governor of Bingzhou?" The great general above the court? Do you want to honor your ancestors and make him a marquis and a prime minister?"

"A man was born between heaven and earth, how could he not have any ideas, just how difficult it is to be a lord and minister?"

"No, it's not difficult at all. To overthrow the rule of the big man, we will re-establish order. In the future, I will be the emperor and you will be the general. How about it? Do you need to think about it?"

"Of course, you can also refuse. After you reject my proposal, I will not kill you. I will only keep you with me for a few years. After I pacify the Han Dynasty, I will let you go back. An ordinary person, living a life of mediocrity."

Liu Zheng spoke very calmly, without arrogance or agitation, and very flat, as if he was talking about a very ordinary thing.

If Lu Bu hadn't already known that Liu Zheng's ambition was to overthrow the Han Dynasty when he was on the tower, he would really think that Liu Zheng was crazy at this time.

"You really want to overthrow the big man?"

"Why, Brother Feng Xian thinks I can't do it?"

Lu Bu frowned and asked suspiciously.

"If I had some doubts before, then I have believed most of them now."

Liu Zheng picked up the wine glass on the table and laughed again.

"With Brother Fengxian joining you, with your strength, plus my soldiers and horses, how can the world not be able to take it down?"

"But my adoptive father Ding Yuan"

Lu Bu's heart was already moved by Liu Zheng's words, but it was still hindered by his adoptive father Ding Yuan.

Liu Zheng understood Lu Bu's worries, and immediately spoke again.

Chapter 568 Gao Shun's Surrender

"Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you about Ding Yuan."

"After all, Ding Yuan will surrender to me sooner or later."

Liu Zheng didn't care about Lu Bu's worries. Anyway, Ding Yuan was getting older. Even if Ding Yuan could persist for a few more years, judging by his age, he wouldn't be able to live for a few more years.

Liu Zheng's desire to win the world cannot be accomplished in a year or two.

It always takes a long process, and of course it needs to constantly accumulate one's own strength.

With Lu Bu joining, Liu Zheng doesn't need to fear too much at least in terms of personal force. Even if he meets Liu Bei and Cao Cao in the future, he doesn't need to worry too much about Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. If you are elite, you will have the capital to compete for the world.

When Lu Bu saw Liu Zheng, he had already spoken to this point, so there was no hesitation.

No matter from the perspective of his ambition to make contributions, Liu Zheng produced such delicious wine.Lu Bu had no reason to reject Liu Zheng's proposal.

Originally, he was just a small boss under the hands of the big man, but he was transferred to Liu Zheng. Liu Zheng promised no less than what the big man gave him. On the contrary, Liu Zheng seemed to really fancy his martial arts, and he also Under Liu Zheng's men, he can display his ambitions and flex his muscles.

"Since this is the case, Lu Bu will take refuge in the general, and hope that the general will keep his promise."

When Liu Zheng heard Lu Bu's words, there was a smile on his face, no matter whether Lu Bu sincerely took refuge in him, or just succumbed to him temporarily.For now, Liu Zheng can be regarded as able to mobilize Lu Bu.

Of course, Liu Zheng is not an idiot either. Knowing that Lu Bu in history was half-hearted, rebellious, and would betray his master at any time, he would not be too gullible in Lu Bu.

Anyway, when he recruited Lu Bu from the very beginning, he only liked Lu Bu's martial arts and used Lu Bu as a military general. He never thought of making him a general with common problems.

Liu Zheng will not give him a single soldier, but just give him the status of a general, and the status he has, without military power.

Regarding this, presumably Lu Bu would not say anything even if he knew that he had no military power but had a corresponding status.At that time, even if he wants to resist, he has no military power, and he has no way to resist Liu Zheng.

After convincing Lu Bu, Liu Zheng's next step is to find a way to recruit the rest.He went directly to the big tent where Gao Shun and the camp were imprisoned, and found Gao Shun and the soldiers of the camp under Gao Shun.

When Liu Zheng came to the place where Gao Shun was imprisoned and trapped in the camp, he acted courteously and found Gao Shun directly.

In his opinion, being trapped in the camp is important, but Gao Shun is more important. If the soldiers in the trapped camp are gone, they can be trained again, but if Gao Shun is gone, the trapped camp will almost disappear.

So as long as Gao Shun is recruited, the trapped camp will definitely be able to retrain.

Gao Shun is not good at words, taciturn, Liu Zheng appeared in this place, he didn't even pay much attention to Liu Zheng.

It was only when Liu Zheng walked up to him and asked if he was Gao Shun that he seemed to have a slight reaction. After looking at Liu Zheng, he nodded.

"General Gao Shun, I've heard about you for a long time, but I was a little surprised to see you today. I didn't expect you to be such a taciturn person."

"Lord Liu Zheng, I've heard about it a long time ago, but I didn't expect him to be so young."

"General Gao is not old, so I will stop talking nonsense. I'm afraid you know my reason for coming. I have already recruited Lu Bu, and now I want to recruit all of you who follow Lu Bu. If you are willing to rely on me , I won’t say much else, at least it won’t be worse than your treatment under the imperial court, and I will give you double the salary that the imperial court gives you!”

Gao Shun did not get a strong response from Gao Shun to Liu Zheng's words of surrender, but showed a hint of disdain instead.

"My lord, I'm afraid I'm thinking too much. The matter of surrender is not something that can be settled with more money from you."

"Even if these brothers under me die in battle, it is much better than surrendering to the enemy."

"Why is this?"

When Liu Zheng heard Gao Shun's words, if he became interested, he would immediately ask.

"Death on the battlefield can still represent the highest honor for a general. At least he is not a person who is greedy for life and fears death. But if he surrenders to the general, the family members behind them will inevitably be spurned by the court. Sometimes he would rather die on the battlefield than This is the reason why I don’t want to surrender to the enemy. Although I, Gao Shun, am a loner and a widow, it doesn’t matter if I join the enemy, but the brothers behind me are all family members. I don’t want to see them. The name of the army."

"I can't answer the question of surrender on their behalf. Whether to surrender or not still needs to be decided by themselves."

Gao Shun's explanation made Liu Zheng understand why Gao Shun said he couldn't make the decision to surrender.

In fact, he, as a general, can make the decision about surrendering. It's just that Gao Shun is more humane, he loves his soldiers more, and he doesn't decide whether they surrender with a single word, but cares more about the decisions of his soldiers themselves.

That's why Gao Shun's soldiers in the trapped camp followed Gao Shun so much.

Gao Shun never regarded them as his subordinates, but treated everyone as his brothers.

Those soldiers who were trapped in the camp also regarded Gao Shun as a brother, and sacrificed their lives to accompany Gao Shun to fight the world.

"I understand, don't worry, I don't care whether those soldiers under your command surrendered, what I care about is you, do you want to take refuge in me?"

Just like what Liu Zheng had guessed before, Liu Zheng didn't care whether Gao Shun's soldiers who were trapped in the camp would surrender to him. Liu Zheng only cared about Gao Shun. As long as Gao Shun was enough to surrender to him, that was enough.

Having Gao Shun is equivalent to owning a trapping camp. Liu Zheng's soldiers are stronger than Ding Yuan's. It is not difficult to re-select troops under Liu Zheng's men to form a new trapping camp.

On the contrary, even because the soldiers' physical fitness and other factors are stronger, the new trap camp formed will be stronger than the original trap camp.

Gao Shun was silent for a while, watching Liu Zheng seem to be thinking about whether to surrender, but he didn't have much hatred for Liu Zheng.Although Liu Zheng is a traitor, Gao Shun's loyalty to the Han court is not high.

The reason why he was under Lu Bu was because Lu Bu saved him back then, so he regarded Lu Bu as a benefactor. If Lu Bu chose to surrender, Gao Shun himself would follow Lu Bu to surrender to Liu Zheng, just to repay his favor.

Now that Lu Bu has really surrendered, Gao Shun can actually choose to surrender with Lu Bu.

"My lord treats these soldiers under me well. I am very grateful, so I am willing to surrender and serve my lord."

Chapter 569 Two Wastes

"Very well, I like General Gao Shun who understands current affairs. In this way, having a general to help me is like adding wings to a tiger. I also hope that the general can persuade these soldiers who are trapped in the camp behind him. It is still the same sentence. If they are willing to surrender, I will I must treat them kindly, and if they are unwilling to surrender, I will let them go and let them go back on their own."

After Liu Zheng finished speaking, he asked Gao Shun to persuade the soldiers who were trapped in the camp behind him.

There are not many people in that camp, only more than 800 people.And there are more than 200 people here. In fact, there are still soldiers who are not trapped in the camp, but the previous Bingzhou wolf cavalry did not escape, and some of them were all cavalry who had been fighting at the end. At the end of the battle, they were killed by Liu Zheng together. caught it.

Now Liu Zheng lets them choose whether to surrender or not. If they are willing to serve Liu Zheng, they can continue to stay. If they are unwilling to serve under Liu Zheng, Liu Zheng will let them go back unconditionally.

In fact, many of these people are unwilling to stay under Liu Zheng's subordinates, because as Gao Shun said before, they are all family members in Bingzhou.

There are only a small number of people who are lonely and widowed, and they are the same everywhere. Most of them have families with old and young, and their wives, children, and parents are all in Bingzhou. If they choose to surrender to Liu Zheng, their families in Bingzhou will definitely not end well. For the sake of their families , most of them will still choose to leave.

Unless Liu Zheng can guarantee the safety of their family members, how could Liu Zheng be able to guarantee their family members.

"I try my best."

Gao Shun replied in front of Liu Zheng, without making a guarantee, only saying that he did his best, and turned his head behind him after speaking.

Among these soldiers trapped in the camp, Gao Shun began to tell them about what Liu Zheng had said to him just now, mainly asking them if they were willing to defect to Liu Zheng, and telling them that Liu Zheng would pay double for those who were willing to stay. Salary, not only give them a salary, but also their status will be greatly improved.

As soon as such words were spoken, it really attracted some soldiers who were trapped in the camp.After all, it's the same for many people who don't care about serving as soldiers wherever they go, and Liu Zheng's subordinates are obviously much better than those of other princes, so why not do it.

After some overall planning, more than 1000 of the [-] or more than [-] people here still chose to stay.

This number is not small, Liu Zheng nodded in satisfaction, and really sent those who didn't want to stay back to Ding Yuan directly.

The reason why Liu Zheng wants to send these people back to Ding Yuan is actually because he wants to send two messages to Ding Yuan.

One is to let Ding Yuan know that Lu Bu, Gao Shun and others have surrendered to him, making Ding Yuan fearful.

The second is that these people have been under Liu Zheng's command for a while, and they know Liu Zheng's reality, and know that Liu Zheng has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses here.

After they returned, they would definitely tell Ding Yuan the news, so that Ding Yuan would not dare to attack rashly, so he could only continue to defend and wait for Liu Zheng to attack him.

These people will inform Ding Yuan of the news not long after they return, and Liu Zheng doesn't need to worry that Ding Yuan will take the initiative to attack at this time.

In Jiangxia County, in a certain county town, Ding Yuan sat in the government office in the city and heard that Cheng Lian and Hou Chenger would return to report the situation.

"Inspector, the big thing is not good. We fell into Liu Zheng's trick. General Lu Bu was captured by mistake. The 2000 elite suffered heavy losses. Only we led more than [-] people and fled back to the city!"

"Useless things, what use is it for me to support you? You have the salary of the imperial court, but you can't share your worries and have the face to come back."

Ding Yuan is not like other princes.When you hear bad news, you will fly into a rage and do something frightening.

After all, Ding Yuan is still a person who has seen a lot of wind and rain and can restrain his emotions. Although he was angry, he did not do some violent things.

Although he was disappointed with Cheng Lian, Hou Cheng and others, he only cursed a few words and did not vent his dissatisfaction.

"I didn't ask you to lead the [-] cavalry in the city to fight back to rescue Lu Bu, why did you return without success?"

Although Lu Bu and a small number of soldiers and horses were captured, Ding Yuan still didn't feel afraid.As a late bloomer, he has always been very calm, and even exposing his impulsiveness at this time will not help.

You need to calm down and deal with this situation before you can know how to solve it, and blindly getting angry can't change the current ending.

Although Ding Yuan was also annoyed in his heart, why did he let Lu Bu go out of the city to fight Liu Zheng, but now the annoyance returned to annoyance, and regret could not change the situation, so he could only find a way to make up for it.

"My lord, it's not that we don't want to rescue General Lu Bu, but that when we lead our troops back, the battlefield has calmed down, and the opponent has built defensive facilities, so I don't dare to attack rashly. Soldiers and horses suffered heavy losses."

Hou Cheng and Cheng Lian made excuses for themselves and told Ding Yuan why they did not attack.

"You two trash, you are really useless things, go down and lead the army twenty each, reflect on yourself, and immediately send someone to order Zhang Liao to return from Nanyang!"

In fact, Ding Yuan can't blame Cheng Lian and Hou Cheng at this time, because this is also Lu Bu's own fault.

Although he promised Lu Bu to fight, it was only a promise that Lu Bu would fight Liu Zheng's army under the city. He didn't expect that Lu Bu would fall into Liu Zheng's aggressive tactics.

If you dare to leave the vicinity of the city and go to the place chosen by Liu Zheng to fight, isn't this just throwing yourself into a trap and waiting for others to design to harm him?

While complaining about Lu Bu's carelessness in his heart, Ding Yuan tried to find a way to save the current situation.

Although Lu Bu lost thousands of cavalry this time, Ding Yuan still has 1 horses here.

These 1 people can continue to deal with Liu Zheng, but there is absolutely no way to rely on these 1 people to defeat Liu Zheng.

Therefore, Ding Yuan could only send back Zhang Liao who was sent to Nanyang to deal with Yuan Shu. With Zhang Liao's troops, he could barely fight Liu Zheng.

At the same time, Ding Yuan also realized that he only had the shortcomings of cavalry. Without archers and infantry, he couldn't compete with Liu Zheng on the frontal battlefield, and he was always weaker.

He thought of using Liu Biao's men to join forces to deal with Liu Zheng.

Only when there are enough people, can we compete with Liu Zheng. In this battle alone, Ding Yuan wiped away all his contempt for Liu Zheng, and the only thing left is to be cautious.

Originally, he didn't count on Liu Biao's people. He thought that his 3 people could stop Liu Zheng. Now it seems that Ding Yuan underestimated the enemy. After fighting Liu Zheng, he understood Liu Zheng's horror.

Knowing that you can't rely on your own strength alone to deal with Liu Zheng.

5 Seventy chapters rush to help Qingzhou

When Ding Yuan dealt with Cheng Lian and Hou Cheng, not long after, the people below came to report again.

It is said that another group of people who fled from the battlefield returned to the county.

These people did not ride horses, but came back on foot.

And said that they ran back from Liu Zheng's barracks.
