Ding Yuan's Scheming
Luoyang City was still in a state of luxury, but the barracks outside Luoyang City were in a state of somber and austere. In Ding Yuan's camp outside the city, torches were still burning fiercely. Soldiers were patrolling non-stop in groups of five with long spears in their hands.
Suddenly, the crisp sound of horse hooves rang out. The patrolling squad immediately became alert. One of the squad leaders signaled for the people beside him to stop. He raised his torch and shouted in the direction of the main gate," Who is outside?"”
" Da da da." The sound of horse hooves came closer and closer. In the darkness, the torches gradually reflected the faces of the people who came." It's us, General Lu's personal guards."”
"Oh?" The sergeant looked carefully. After he saw it clearly, he let go of his guard and asked familiarly," What's wrong? General Lu isn't back?"”
" Yes," the soldier said lightly." However, General Lu has brought a distinguished guest here."”
"Honored guest?" The captain was puzzled. He stretched his head and looked behind him. Two horses slowly walked over from the darkness. On one of the horses sat a handsome man holding a silver spear. In front of him sat a young man who was about twelve or thirteen years old. On the other horse was a mighty and towering figure. Two huge golden hammers were especially eye-catching in the night. His face was square and gave people a feeling of trust.
"You guys continue patrolling. I'll take them to arrange accommodation.”The bodyguard stood on his horse and said to the captain.
The squad leader and a few other soldiers moved the antlers and let Liu Xie and the others in. The sound of hooves rang out as they walked towards the main camp where Ding Yuan was.
"Everyone, you can stay here tonight. Tomorrow, I will bring you to see Lord Ding.”
The bodyguard brought the three of them to a gorgeous military tent, dismounted, and said to the three of them.
"Yes." Liu Xie nodded and dismounted with Luo Cheng's help. His identity as Prince Chen Liu had yet to be announced, so he would wait and see Ding Yuan's attitude tomorrow. With this thought in mind, Liu Xie walked into the military tent with Luo Cheng and Yue Yun.
Liu Xie was also extremely tired. After fighting in the middle of the night, his body really could not take it. Once he reached the tent, he did not care about anything else and fell asleep on the bed.
…………
When Liu Xie woke up, the sun was almost in the middle of the sky. The slightly scorching sunlight shone on the ground. The noisy training sounds in the camp increased one after another. There were also bursts of laughter and scolding.
" Oh." Liu Xie propped up his tired body from last night. His eyes narrowed slightly to adapt to the sudden sunlight.
" Your Highness," Luo Cheng, who was sitting next to Liu Xie, saw that Liu Xie had woken up and said softly to him.
" Luo Cheng," Liu Xie sat up with great effort, touched his sleepy eyes, and said in a faint voice," What time is it now?"”
" Your Highness," Luo Cheng said softly," it's already noon.”
" It's noon." Liu Xie shook his head and said to Luo Cheng," How's the situation outside?"”
" Very enthusiastic." Luo Cheng thought for a moment and said respectfully," I heard that Lu Bu won a battle with Dong Zhuo. Ding Yuan was overjoyed and the entire camp is in an enthusiastic mood.”
" Yes," Liu Xie nodded." This is inevitable. With Lu Bu around, Dong Zhuo won't have much face."”
Just as Luo Cheng was about to reply, Yue Yun suddenly walked out of the tent. The moment his tall figure entered, it covered the entire ground." Your Highness," he said in a low voice.
"What's wrong?" Liu Xie looked at the tall figure in front of him and carefully looked at Yue Yun's hands and body. After feeling that there was no big problem, he asked.
"Ding Yuan said he wanted to see Your Highness." It was a brief introduction as usual.
" Okay." Liu Xie raised his hand to support the wooden table beside the bed and agreed.
After a short while, Liu Xie, who was dressed, Luo Cheng, who was holding a silver spear, and Yue Yun, who was dressed in casual clothes, walked towards Ding Yuan's tent.
" Hahaha!" Before he even arrived, a loud laugh could be heard. Lu Bucong, who was dressed in military uniform, laughed and gave Yue Yun a tiger hug." Brother Yue!”
" General Lu." Yue Yun smiled bitterly. After Lu Bu released his hand, he cupped his fists.
"Prince Chen Liu, you have hidden it from me so bitterly!”After laughing, Lu Bu smiled at Liu Xie.
"Yes." Liu Xie did not find it strange at all. He also smiled faintly." General Lu, do you know why Provincial Governor Ding looked for us?”
"Your Highness Prince Chen Liu, I don't know the specifics. Let's wait until I see my foster father!”Lu Bu cleverly brushed past this question." My foster father sent me to find you.”
"Let's go!" Liu Xie said to the others and took the lead, walking towards Ding Yuan.
"Hahaha, it really is Prince Chen Liu!”When Liu Xie stepped into the tent, a scholarly man wearing a Confucian robe walked over with a warm expression and smiled.
" Provincial Governor Ding." Liu Xie looked at the seat in the tent. Although he had never seen Provincial Governor Ding before, he was sure of the identity of this person.
" Your Highness." Ding Yuan affectionately pulled Liu Xie's hand and walked towards the main seat." I didn't expect that Dong Zhuo to be so detestable. He actually dared to publicly assassinate Prince Chen Liu." Anger flashed across Ding Yuan's face." He simply doesn't have any respect for the Imperial Family or the burly man."”
When he walked to the main seat, Ding Yuan wanted to press Liu Xie onto the main seat. Liu Xie hurriedly declined," Provincial Governor Ding, as the saying goes, visitors are guests. I'm here to disturb you. How can I turn the tables on you? It's better for you to sit here."”
Ding Yuan gave way a few more times. Seeing Liu Xie's firm attitude, he sat on the main seat with a smile. Liu Xie knew this in his heart, so he sat on the side seat.
"Everyone says that His Highness Prince Chen Liu is intelligent and quick-witted.”
" Provincial Governor Ding, you're being too serious." Liu Xie waved his hand and said humbly," I wonder why Provincial Governor Ding asked us to come here?”
" Your Highness," Ding Yuan paused," we just fought with Dong Zhuo. Because of my son, Lu Bu, we barely won the battle. But we don't know anything about Dong Zhuo's army in the city!”
Liu Xie looked at Ding Yuan and frowned. He said," Since Provincial Governor Ding is determined to attack, I will do my best. Dong Zhuo is relying on his generals, Li Que, Guo Si, Zhang Ji, and Fan Chou. Apart from that, he is also relying on Luoyang's city walls. With General Lu's help, I believe that Provincial Governor Ding will be able to defeat Dong Zhuo.”
Ding Yuan seemed to be constantly considering Liu Xie's words." I wonder if Prince Chen Liu knows the exact situation of Dong Zhuo's army. Only after we know will we be able to enter the capital to deal with the bandits and avenge Prince Chen Liu's assassination!”
"Provincial Governor Ding is truly loyal and patriotic, but I live in the wang fu and have a bad idea about Dong Zhuo's army.”Liu Xie deliberately frowned.
"Yes." Ding Yuan seemed to be a little depressed, and the entire tent fell into an awkward atmosphere.
"Hey!" The awkwardness ended with a loud shout. Lu Bu strode over," Father, don't worry! With his son here, no matter what kind of general Thief Dong had, his son would send them all away!”
"In less than five days, I will definitely take Luoyang!”
