More than ten days later, Ao Lie led his elite soldiers and generals to the junction of Sili and Bingzhou after a rapid journey. In another two or three days, he could reach Luoyang.

During this march, Ao Lie chose to take the route from Bingzhou to Sili, in order to see his former elder brother Lu Bu with his own eyes before engaging in the army with Dong Zhuo. No matter what the reason, it was nothing wrong for Lu Bu to surrender to Dong Zhuo in history. Although Ao Lie could not believe anything, Lu Bu was just for a red rabbit horse.

Unfortunately, Ao Lie never saw Lu Bu along the way. After inquiring about the news from many sources, he realized that Ding was dissatisfied with Dong Zhuo's behavior and had already led his troops to find Dong Zhuo to explain. As the number one general under Ding Yuan, Lu Bu naturally went to Luoyang with him.

Although he missed Lu Bu, while inquiring about Lu Bu's news, the elite of the Blood Killing Camp also found out some other valuable information.

First of all, like in history, Dong Zhuo coerced all officials in the court to recognize his position as the chief stern. Now Dong Zhuo is already at the highest position, and the champion Hou is no less than Ao Lie's general of the cavalry. Strictly speaking, the position of Ao Lie is even higher than Ao Lie. Because Ao Lie's official position is ranked among the third duke, that is, the third fair level, while Dong Zhuo's official position is above the third duke. However, because Ao Lie was repeatedly promoted by Liu Hong and his son and was promoted in various honors, he was not inferior to Dong Zhuo in terms of reputation and identity. What's more, Ao Lie's official position was personally enthroned by two generations of emperors, and Dong Zhuo's official position was coerced to be self-praised. It is naturally clear which one is better or worse.

Another news is about Cao Cao. Even though Cao Cao had some ambitions in his early years, he just wanted to make achievements for the Han Dynasty. At this stage, Cao Cao was still relatively upright and had nothing to do with the heroes. Therefore, Cao Cao assassinated Dong Zhuo in the name of offering swords, as if he had done so in history. However, before Cao Cao had time to take action, Dong Zhuo realized something was wrong. Cao Cao quickly presented the seven-star sword in his hand to Dong Zhuo, and then found an excuse to leave the Grand Tutor's Mansion. He ran out of Luoyang City without looking back, and returned to Chenliu to recruit soldiers and horses, intending to convene troops to fight Dong Zhuo.

There was another news that also attracted Ao Lie's attention. After Yuan Shao returned to the old land of Jizhou, he took advantage of the reputation of the family's four generations and three ministers to recruit soldiers and expand his subordinates. Dong Zhuo seemed not to want Yuan Shao to cause any trouble, so he simply granted Yuan Shao the title of Bohai Prefect, trying to make up for the resentment between them by being appointed as an official. Yuan Shao generously accepted the official position granted by Dong Zhuo, but his attitude towards Dong Zhuo did not improve much. He always trained the army and was ready to fight back to Luoyang at any time, which was obvious.

Three days later, Ao Lie led his army to a place 30 miles outside Luoyang City and looked at the Bingzhou Army camp. Because Dong Zhuo had entered Luoyang for a short time, he could only control Luoyang. In addition, the troops were not very sufficient, so he had no control over the surrounding areas of Luoyang, which made Ao Lie lead his army to approach Luoyang easily. After arranging the temporary rest, Ao Lie only brought Xu Chu, Dian Wei and 30 elite blood-killing camps into the Bingzhou Army camp and visited Ding Yuan, the governor of Bingzhou.

Not long after entering the Bingzhou Army camp, Ao Lie saw a majestic middle-aged general who quickly met him out. It seemed that it was Ding Yuan. What really made Ao Lie really excited was that he saw the figure of a tiger general behind Ding Yuan. His resolute face, majestic figure, and a square painting halberd behind him. It was Lu Bu, the sworn brother who had not seen in many years. At this moment, Lu Bu smiled and followed Ding Yuan, looking at Ao Lie with a stare, as if he wanted to understand all the changes in Ao Lie over the years through his eyes.

"Haha, General of the Cavalry is here, Ding Yuan is far away to welcome him." The visitor was indeed Ding Yuan. After seeing Ao Lie, Ding Yuan immediately greeted him enthusiastically.

Ao Lie bowed his hand and replied, "Governor Ding is so polite. How dare you work for Governor Ding to come out to greet him in person?"

Ding Yuan grabbed Ao Lie's arm, looked up and down, and smiled cheerfully: "I heard for a long time that the general of the cavalry and the title of the champion Hou. When I saw him today, he was indeed a young hero. He is a dragon among the people. Hurry up, sit in the big tent."

Under Ding Yuan's enthusiastic guidance, Ao Lie had to follow Ding Yuan and walk into the big tent. At the same time, he turned around and gave Lu Bu a wink, indicating that Lu Bu would meet again later. Although Lu Bu and Ao Lie had not seen each other for many years, they had a similar mind to each other and nodded slightly to show their understanding.

After entering the big tent, the guest and host on both sides sat down. After sitting down, Ding Yuan asked straight to the point: "I don't know if you are here, what advice do you have?"

Ao Lie smiled humbly and said, "I dare not give advice. Someone came here because he asked for something. It is reported that Governor Ding was very dissatisfied with Dong Zhuo's cholera case and wanted to raise troops to attack Dong Zhuo. Is there any such thing?"

When he talked about Dong Zhuo, Ding Yuan's originally laughing face immediately sank: "Hmph! Dong's thief deceived the emperor and even coerced all officials to claim to be the Grand Tutor. Do you really have no tough problems? That's right! This governor does have this plan. It's either Dong's thief is executed or this governor sacrifices his life to his country. There is no third possibility!"

Hearing Ding Yuan's words passionately, Ao Lie cheered loudly: "Okay! Governor Ding is full of passion, I admire you very much. Let's do this, wait for someone to return to the camp to rectify the troops, and send troops with Governor Ding to attack Dong Zhuo in the future!"

"Hahaha, today, who is more righteous than the king and the king! No wonder the late emperor and the king are more fond of the king and the king." Ding Yuan laughed happily after hearing Ao Lie's going to send troops together.

After a smile, Ao Lie suddenly said, "By the way, I have heard that the general Lu Bu, the chief lieutenant under the tent of Governor Ding, is extremely brave and is known as the Hu. I wonder if I can have a short gathering with General Lu for a moment?"

Ding Yuan smiled and pointed out outside the tent, saying, "The one who stands outside the tent is Fengxian. Junhou is known as a little overlord, and Fengxian is called a tiger. It seems that Junhou and Fengxian are heroes and cherish heroes. Well, there is no need to be on duty today. Junhou, let's get together with Fengxian."

Ao Lie bowed to Ding Yuan, thanked him, then turned around and walked out of the tent and came to Lu Bu.

Lu Bu said without any expression on his face: "Please come to a certain tent to get together."

Ao Lie nodded with a smile.

Lu Bu stopped talking and turned around and walked towards his camp with Ao Lie. Lu Bu's camp was not far from Ding Yuan's central army tent. After walking dozens of steps, he arrived. Ao Lie turned around and used a color to Xu Chu and Dian Wei, indicating that the two of them would stay outside the tent and not let others come to disturb him.

After entering the tent, the expressionless expression on Lu Bu's face disappeared, and replaced by a strong sense of concern. A pair of tiger eyes stared at Ao Lie firmly. Lu Bu asked excitedly: "Have you lived in the past few years?"

Ao Lie was about to answer, but saw Lu Bu smirking and shook his head, and said, "Looking at Brother Yu's words, I know the reputation of my second brother now, how can I not live well?"

"Brother, how did you come through these years? Why didn't you have any news about you?" Ao Lie asked with concern.

Lu Bu smiled, and then roughly summarized his experiences over the past few years. It turned out that in the past few years, Lu Bu had been fighting against the Huns in the northern border since he joined the Ding Yuan account. It was not until half a year ago that he was transferred back after being promoted to General General of the Central Army for his accumulated military achievements, so Ao Lie had never received any news from Lu Bu.

The two brothers talked and laughed, briefly talked about their experiences over the past few years, and both sighed at the other party’s bloody battles over the past few years. On the battlefield, if you don’t pay attention, you may lose your life. Today, the two brothers can get together intact, which is a lot of emotion.

After reliving the brotherhood, Ao Lie felt that Lu Bu had no change, and that heroic, straightforward and ambitious eldest brother in the past. So Ao Lie directly asked the doubt in his heart: "Brother, what does it have to do with Dong Zhuo?"

"Hmm? How could you know?" Lu Bu looked at Ao Lie in surprise. Obviously, Ao Lie guessed it. With Ao Lie's understanding of Lu Bu, Lu Bu was definitely not as capricious and stubborn as recorded in history. Although Ao Lie didn't know why Lu Bu surrendered to Dong Zhuo, Ao Lie knew that there must be a reason for this.

Ao Lie looked at Lu Bu seriously and said, "Actually, I don't know anything. I just saw murderous intent in my elder brother's eyes, and my murderous intent towards Governor Ding. At present, Dong Zhuo is the only enemy of Governor Ding, so I guess that there must be an unknown secret between Governor Ding."

Lu Bu sighed and said, "After all, I can't hide it from my second brother. Yes, Brother Yu really has the intention to kill Ding Yuan. And it is indeed related to Dong Zhuo."

"I can't hide it from you, because I'm too familiar with my brother's habits. Brother, are you willing to tell me the whole story?" Ao Lie said softly.

Lu Bu glanced at Ao Lie and slowly told the truth that he wanted to kill Ding Yuan. As mentioned in the previous article, Lu Bu was helpless when he was young and grew up with a pack of wolves. Later, he met a group of Huns. At that time, the Huns wanted to kill the young Lu Bu, but happened to be rescued by a passing hero and handed Lu Bu a knife, allowing Lu Bu to kill all the Huns. Since then, Lu Bu has never seen the hero who saved his life again, but Lu Bu deeply remembered the name of that person - Dong Zhuo!

Until today, if not Ao Lie, Lu Bu's martial arts are already the best in the world and he has created the title of the God of War, the God of War, but he has never had the chance to repay Dong Zhuo, who saved him. It was not until Ding Yuan led his army to attack Dong Zhuo that Lu Bu planned to assassinate Ding Yuan and repay Dong Zhuo's life-saving grace.

"So that's how it is." Ao Lie finally understood why in history, Lu Bu killed Ding Yuan who treated him like a son for a Red Rabbit Horse. It had nothing to do with the Red Rabbit Horse at all, but Lu Bu wanted to repay Dong Zhuo's life-saving grace. The Red Rabbit Horse was just a cover.

"Brother, Ding Yuan, you can't kill him." Ao Lie said firmly.

Lu Bu frowned and said with some displeasure: "Second brother, you know the nature of my foolish brother. If you don't repay me, it's not a certain personality. What's more, it's a life-saving grace. If Dong Zhuo hadn't taken action at the beginning, how could Lu Bu be today?"

Ao Lie knew that Lu Bu had always been a clear relationship with his grudges, and it was very difficult to stop Lu Bu from repaying his kindness. After thinking for a moment, Ao Lie said carefully: "Brother, think about it from another perspective. Governor Ding treats you with equal kindness. If you kill him, wouldn't you repay kindness with grudges? What kind of face will you face in the world?" Lu Bu did not worship Ding Yuan as his adoptive father as recorded in the Romance. Ao Lie didn't know whether it was a mistake in history or the effect caused by his own arrival. However, Ding Yuan valued Lu Bu, there was no doubt that this was the point of treating Lu Bu as his biological son.

Lu Bu was convinced by Ao Lie and said in embarrassment: "The second brother's words make sense." After a moment of silence, Lu Bu made up his mind and said to Ao Lie very firmly: "Second brother, Brother Yu knows that you are leading the army to attack Dong Zhuo. But with Brother Yu here, you will never allow you to be unfavorable to Dong Zhuo. As for Ding Yuan, he will not kill him, just treat it as repaying Ding Yuan's kindness for years. Give Brother Yu a year to protect Dong Zhuo within one year, and within one year, Brother Yu will protect his complacency. A year later, Brother Yu will come to your army to apologize and let you deal with it!"

PS: There is no historical document to prove that Dong Zhuo saved the young Lu Bu. It was fabricated by Da Kun, just to increase the compactness and twists of the plot. Book friends should not take it seriously.
