While Lu Peng was sitting leisurely and listening to the zither, the beacon fire in the north had already been ignited.
Yuan Shao and the other vassals met in Suanzao and marched into Hulao Pass. After a great battle, Lu Bu and Liu Guanzhang became famous throughout the world.
Dong Zhuo set fire to the palaces and ponds in Luoyang, plundered the people, and went west to Chang 'an. Along the way, countless people were killed and injured, and cries were heard everywhere.
In Chang 'an, in Situ Wang Yun's mansion, several officials with solemn expressions sat silently facing each other.
After a long time, Wang Yun, who was sitting in the main seat, slowly said,""Everyone, that traitor Dong has committed perverse acts and brought chaos to the country. Everyone in the world wants to eat his flesh alive. As important officials of the imperial court, what should we do?”
"Thief Dong is powerful and Lu Bu is brave. We can only take it slow.”Zhong Ji said.
"No, although Dong Zhuo has elite soldiers and fierce generals, he is arrogant and relies on the courage of an ordinary man. Wang Yue, the former Tiger General, had a godly swordsmanship and was deeply indebted to the Han Dynasty. If they could find him, they would definitely be able to kill that thief Dong!
" Counselor Zheng Tai said.
"Wang Yue is like a mysterious dragon whose head is nowhere to be seen. Where can we find him?”Wang Yun shook his head and looked at Xun You, who was sitting in the lower seat." Gongda, what do you think?"”
"You has already decided to resign and return home." Xun You slowly stood up and calmly cupped his hands." Dong Zhuo is hard to deal with. With all of you in the capital, we can ensure His Majesty's safety. Shen You wanted to go to the east of the country and choose a vassal to assist him in defeating Dong's rebels and welcoming the emperor.”
Everyone was silent. Wang Yun coughed twice and said,""Alright, Gongda has the talent to assist the king. He's not someone we can compare to.”
Xun You cupped his hands to everyone and walked out of the door. Before he left, he glanced at Wang Yun and hesitated.
Your son-in-law is so awesome, and his reputation has already spread to the capital. Why are you still making a fuss with Dong Zhuo in Chang 'an? Go to your son-in-law!
However, he did not say it out loud. Lu Peng's reputation had indeed spread to the capital, but the evaluation of him was divided into two extremes. Some praised him as a genius of the world, while others denounced his actions as absurd.
At the end of the day, they had different standpoints. In the eyes of the old and stubborn scholars, Lu Peng's many actions were deviant. In the eyes of those who were open-minded and close to the people, he was naturally a shocking genius.
"I wonder what Little Uncle will think of Lu Chengfeng?”Xun You was deep in thought as he walked. Suddenly, he felt a chill on his neck and snowflakes drifted down.
A night of snow caused the fire in Luoyang City to weaken slightly. Sun Jian, who had entered first, extinguished the fire. Suddenly, his subordinate reported that there was a strange phenomenon in an ancient well in the city.
The next day, Sun Jian bid farewell to Yuan Shao and the others, but unexpectedly, both sides were at daggers drawn and almost turned hostile.
Sun Jian left with his army, while Yuan Shao and the others stayed put. Only Cao Cao, Bao Xin, and Lu Kang continued to pursue Dong Zhuo.
When they arrived at Xingyang, they were ambushed by Xu Rong, the general of Dong Zhuo. The battle lasted from day to night. Dong Zhuo's forces were strong, and the Xi Liang Army was the best in the world. In the end, Cao Cao was defeated. He escaped under Cao Hong's protection, while Lu Kang was shot by two arrows. He was heavily injured and lay alone in the grass, dying.
Suddenly, a troop of Dong Zhuo's soldiers rushed over. Lu Kang let out a long sigh and closed his eyes, waiting for his death. He thought to himself that although he died here, with Nephew Peng looking after him, his family would be safe.
At this moment, a general jumped off his horse and shouted at the other soldiers,""Spread out and search!"
After dismissing the crowd, he strode over and helped Lu Kang up. He carried Lu Kang on the back of the horse and said to a soldier behind him,""Send Mayor Lu back to Lujiang. There's no need to come back.”
"General, may I know your name?" Lu Kang asked gratefully.”
The general cupped his hands." I'm Zhang Liao from Yanmen, Bingzhou. Governor Lu, go quickly!"”
Sun Jian left, Cao Cao was defeated, Lu Kang was heavily injured, Yuan Shao and the others had their own plans, and the alliance was destroyed. Instead, due to the old grudges, they began to attack each other, and the chaotic battle in the Central Plains officially began.
When Lu Peng received the news that Lu Kang was seriously injured, he was shocked. He quickly led Zhou Tai and 500 cavalry to the north to welcome Lu Kang and his party in Runan Territory.
Lu Kang was old. Although his body had always been in good condition, he had been hit by two arrows in his vitals. Along the way, his face was pale and his injuries were serious.
When he saw Lu Peng, he forced a smile and said,"I'm not satisfied with my old age. I'm sorry to make you laugh."”
Lu Peng looked at him and could not help but feel dejected. The old hooligan had always treated him like a nephew and took good care of him. He was really like a biological uncle.
After bringing Lu Kang back to Yangquan City, the Lu family members cried endlessly. On the other side, Lu Yi's father, Lu Jun, was also seriously ill. The Lu family was in a gloomy mood.
Lu Peng returned to his room with a gloomy mood. He ordered someone to call the merchant Ma Feng's companion over and pointed at him."Tell your master that if he can't find Mister Hua Tuo within ten days, he doesn't need to appear in front of me anymore!”
