Chapter 922: Impossible!
Lu Bu was silent, he didn't know what Dong Zhuo recruited him for, and he could only guess a little. Now, he completely understands that Dong Zhuo is for the army, for the army under Ding Yuan.
Without him, no matter how Dong Zhuo was, he would not be able to control all the troops here, even if he killed Ding Yuan. Yes, Lu Bu knew very well what he needed to do to control the army, and that was to kill the commander of this army.
It's the same on the battlefield, when the commander of the army dies, it's much easier to sell and recruit other soldiers. In the army, except for some diehards who need to be eliminated, the rest are basically ordinary soldiers.
If you want to control the current army, then you must kill Ding Yuan before you can have that opportunity to control the army. But it can't be done by anyone, except for him, no one can smoothly control the army after killing Ding Yuan, only him.
With his prestige and appeal in the army, he could completely control the army after Ding Yuan's death. If Dong Zhuo is asked to do this thing, then a big battle is absolutely indispensable, not only do I not know if I can win, but I don't know if I can successfully control the army after this, but in Lu Bu's understanding, this is impossible.
Although Ding Yuan is dead, the rest of the crowd is leaderless, and it is not easy to take over the army. The reason why he was able to take over the actual control of the army after Ding Yuan's death was nothing else, because he had been in the army for a long time, and at the same time he was still a general who led the army for a long time.
Although Dong Zhuo is a general of Beizhonglang, this is Luoyang City, outside Luoyang City, killing a court member outside Luoyang City, and assassinating a state? This is a rebellion, let people know, then Dong Zhuo can't get out of it anyway.
Then at this time, he is needed.
Lu Bu knew very well where his value was, and he knew what he had, and it was precisely because of this clear understanding that he had no way to think about what Dong Zhuo wanted to do.
There is only one person who can kill Ding Yuan quietly, only he can kill Ding Yuan so easily without causing any chaos or any waves. Although Ding Yuan was a little wary of him, and there were usually guards around him to protect him, it was still very simple to get close to Ding Yuan.
As for that kind of guard, in Lu Bu's eyes, although he was more than loyal, he was not strong enough. As long as he approached Ding Yuan within ten steps, it was easy to kill Ding Yuan, no matter how closely protected Ding Yuan's guards were, they couldn't prevent Ding Yuan's death from coming.
However, he still hesitated. Because he didn't know what Dong Zhuo was going to do, because of that fog, because he knew very well what kind of series of reactions Ding Yuan would cause after his death. Although he is a little disdainful of Ding Yuan's personality and ability, the official position of Ding Yuan's assassination history is real.
As an official sent by the imperial court to a state, the assassin controls the military and political power of a state, and is also responsible for supervising the official positions of the Taishou in various places for the central court, and there are only thirteen people in the thirteen states of the entire Han Dynasty, and the sudden death of one will undoubtedly cause a sensation.
What's more, if the news that Ding Yuan died in his hands spreads, then his fate will also be extremely miserable. Then he will be a rebel, a traitor, a spurned murderer. Not to mention how many soldiers in the army will follow him, I am afraid that when the time comes, among the many generals under his command, some people will have the intention of killing him.
Although his strength was superb, Lu Bu still shuddered a little when he thought of the scene of being an enemy on all sides and becoming an enemy of a dynasty. He was not alone, the 6,000 cavalry under his command could resist, whether it was those external enemies or internal enemies, they would bring him a never-ending offensive again and again.
He desperately wanted a change of place, a better place where he could achieve his ambitions. But he is definitely not stupid, he is not so stupid as to do everything, he doesn't understand anything at all, and he can't see whether a thing is dangerous or not.
"What exactly does Dong Zhonglang want to do?" Lu Bu asked, staring at Li Su.
Li Su is not wrong to be his fellow countryman, and he has the friendship of the township party, but he will never trust a person in this kind of thing without reservation. Unless Li Su gave him a satisfactory answer, which could dispel the doubts in his heart, otherwise, he would definitely not join in this matter!
Absolutely not! Even if it was the Red Rabbit Horse, even if it was the official positions in the description, the treatment, including the promise to let him control the Bingzhou cavalry after Ding Yuan's death, this kind of Lu Bu would not care.
Lust for profit, he hasn't reached this point yet! Except for the red rabbit horse, when he came to him, there were no things that could be touched, only in the description! Even the Red Rabbit Horse is still in Li Su's hands, not in his hands, so all of this is still illusory!
can become the main secretary in the army, in addition to leading troops to fight, Lu Bu usually has to be responsible for some large and small side things in the army, not only attacking cities and plundering land. He sees the pros and cons very clearly, and now, the so-called benefits have not been settled at all, and they are far less disadvantageous than those brought by it.
What about Red Rabbit Horses? What about good horses? He Lu Bu can take a snow horse from the Xianbei grassland and from the Xianbei people, then it is possible to get a second horse. The only thing he couldn't be sure of was that he didn't know if the second horse would be taken away by Ding Yuan after he got it.
But he still spares his life more than a horse! Invincible above the battle array, he has killed so many Xianbei people under the halberd, and the aura on his body, including his combat record, has not yet reached the point where he can ignore everything.
Lu Bu was waiting for his heart to answer, and at this moment there was some silence in the barracks, and when the wind blew, with the hustle and bustle of soldier training in the distance, when it entered Lu Bu's ears, it suddenly disappeared.
If he didn't give him a reasonable answer, not only would he not accept the red rabbit horse, but he would return the horse to Li Su. At the same time, he will immediately contact Yun Ting and join Yun Ting's command.
Although Yunting is there, the starting point is too low, it is better than nothing. That is also really touchable, and there is no danger of rebellion, he believes that Yun Ting will not be like Dong Zhuo, asking him to kill Ding Yuan.
"Dong Zhonglang just wants to support the new monarch." Li Su also looked at Lu Bu and said calmly.
Sure enough, Lu Bu is not so easy to convince, if he didn't know Lu Bu when he met a few times before, he really had no way to answer now. If he can't answer, then I believe he will definitely go home empty-handed this time.
"Raise the new king?" Lu Bu's pupils shrank, and a hint of surprise flashed.
"Yes, set up a new king." Li Su enjoyed this moment of surprise when he saw Lu Bu, and he was just as surprised when he learned about these things.
"Now the crown prince is about to ascend the throne one day, ambush the new monarch, who will he support?" Lu Bu continued to ask.
The clues he got had already made waves in his heart, and he knew that he was involved in something terrible. At the same time, he is excited, because in this kind of thing, there are many dangers, but correspondingly, there are also many opportunities.
Isn't that what fighting on the battlefield looks like? In the life-and-death battles again and again, isn't it just for military merit? Isn't it just to get that kind of military merit and climb up? These things are all the same, they are all gambling with their lives.
If you win, you will win everything, money, military merits, and officials. If you lose, you lose your life, and you lose everything.
But things like this are not as simple as on the battlefield after all, if they fail. It's not just about dying. When it comes to losing everything, life is dead, everything is useless, it is equivalent to losing everything. But there's more, even after you're dead. There are also people and things that still exist, they are still alive, but they are going to be implicated by you.
Lu Bu thought of his wife who was far away in Bingzhou, and thought of everything in the family, if he participated and failed, then all of this would be for naught.
The frenzied flames in his heart that were affected by ambition were suddenly splashed with a basin of cold water, which made him beat a spirit. If it really fails, it doesn't matter if he dies, but the bad luck that the family members of the state will suffer, just think about it, he can't bear it.
"Feng Xian should know enough, the first emperor liked the prince's association very much, not the prince's argument, so he did not appoint the crown prince for a long time, causing the prince's position to be vacant for many years. It turned out that the first emperor was interested in the prince's association, and the reason why he could not establish the prince's association as the crown prince was only because of the opposition of the ministers in the court, and at the same time the pressure from the queen and the general, so that the first emperor could not establish the prince's association as the crown prince. ”
"And all this, until the day of the death of the first emperor, finally Chen Chen settled."
"But the edict of the first emperor, the established prince, is the prince's argument." Lu Bu asked in the spare time when Li Su was speaking.
"No, no, in the edict of the first emperor, it is the prince who is the crown prince." Li Ru shook his head and said word by word.
"What! That's impossible! Lu Bu's voice suddenly raised, and the surprise in his heart overflowed. It wasn't until a moment that he realized his surroundings and immediately lowered his voice.
"No way, this can't be." Shaking his head, Lu Bu muttered to himself, he still couldn't believe the information revealed in Li Su's words, because this information finally pointed to one answer.
That is the current crown prince, the crown prince who is about to ascend the throne as the emperor, it is very likely that he will not be in the right position. If it spreads a little more, it will come to the empress, because if the crown prince that the first emperor wants to set up is not Liu Wei, then someone must have tampered with the edict.
It's just that how can he believe that everything new is true? It's possible that all of this was made up.
