Soon, when the news of Ding Yi being killed by a group of bandits reached the ears of Ding Yuan, the current governor of Bing Province, he was furious!
Ding did not have any children to begin with, otherwise, he would not have adopted Lu Bu as his adopted son.
The most important thing now was that his only nephew had been killed by bandits. How could he, Ding Yuan, take this lying down?
He had planned to make his nephew his successor, but now he had been killed by a group of bandits!
Therefore, at this moment, in the Overseer's Mansion of Bing Province, Ding Yuan went to look for the governor of Bing Province, Zhang Yi, with a face full of grief and indignation!
Zhang Yi was furious when he saw Ding Yuan's indignant expression and heard that his only heir, his nephew Ding Yi, had been killed by bandits.
He was an official of the imperial court, a provincial governor. To put it bluntly, he was a king of a region, and Ding Yuan was a popular person in front of Zhang Yi.
Now, his subordinate was being bullied in his own territory and had no descendants. How could he not comfort him?
Therefore, Zhang Yi also gave the order!
"Ding Bie Jia, don't be like this. This provincial governor still needs you to work for my Bing Province in the future. How about this, I will immediately mobilize three thousand elite cavalry to go and attack those bandits and take revenge for Ding Bie Jia!”
Hearing the Provincial Governor's words, Ding Yuan finally stopped his grief and indignation!
"Thank you, Provincial Governor!"
After saying this, Ding Yuan said to Zhang Yi.
"Lord Provincial Governor, I have a chief registrar under my account who is outstanding in martial arts. Why don't I let him lead his troops to chase after those bandits to vent the hatred in my heart!”
After all, Ding Yuan was Zhang Yi's right-hand man. Now that he had mobilized an army for him, this small request was naturally granted.
However, when Ding Yuan left the Provincial Governor's Estate, what Zhang Yi did not see was the slight smile on his face!
……
After the Provincial Governor gave the order to send out the troops, all the soldiers in Bing Province quickly gathered. They gathered 3,000 cavalry and prepared to destroy Zhang Yu and his gang.
Bing Province was one of the northern borders of the Great Han Dynasty. It had been fighting against the Xiongnu and Xianbei all year round, so it naturally had no lack of warhorses.
And this time, in order to exterminate a group of bandits, sending out three thousand cavalrymen was already a waste of talent.
In ancient battlefields, if the number of infantrymen did not exceed the number of cavalry by ten times, the battle would not be fought.
Of course, that was when they were fighting on the plains, but if they were fighting on the mountains, the situation might be reversed.
This was because the strength of cavalry lay in their mobility and impact. However, the real battle still depended on the arrangements of the commanders on both sides!
……
When Ding Yuan returned to his residence, although he was quite angry that his nephew had died, he thought about it again.
This was also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for him!
One, he could arrange for his subordinates to be in the military camp and take the opportunity to control the Bing Province army. His subordinate, Official Lu, would naturally be the main force.
Thus, Ding Yuan quickly summoned Lu Bu!
At this moment, Lu Bu was just a youth. Although he was skilled in martial arts, Ding Yuan could not command the army, so he did not have many opportunities to fight.
Therefore, Lu Bu's current position was only that of a bookkeeper!
The registrar was a civil official, and Lu Bu was a general. How could he be dissatisfied with this? This would naturally be a disaster for the future!
When Lu Bu arrived at Ding Yuan's residence, he knelt on one knee.
"Lu Bu greets Ming Gong!"
When Ding Yuan heard this, he immediately stood up and helped Lu Bu up with a smile on his face.
"Fengxian, you've been under my command for several years. I know that you're skilled in martial arts, but although I have the intention to promote you, I don't have the strength!”
"However, if I can control the Bing Province army, you will be the number one general under me, Ding Yuan. When the time comes, you will be the commander of the army that will attack the Outsiders!”
"When the time comes, you will be the one to imitate Wei Huo and seal Wolf Juxu!”
Hearing Ding Yuan's words, Lu Bu's heart was burning with passion. As a top general, he naturally had the ambition to lead troops into battle!
However, he was not stupid. He definitely understood that Ding Yuan had something to tell him.
However, what surprised Lu Bu was that Ding Yuan's expression changed slightly, and he looked a little melancholic!
"Fengxian, you are under my command and I treat you like my own son. However, my good-for-nothing nephew Ding Yi was killed by bandits. I want you to bring back the heads of those bandits!”
"As long as you can help me take revenge, I will acknowledge you as my foster son. In the future, everything that belongs to my Ding Yuan will be yours!”
And Lu Bu, because of his youth, actually believed the words of that old fox Ding Yuan!
Then, Lu Bu bowed to Ding Yuan with joy and confidence!
"Don't worry, Ming Gong. I will definitely bring the heads of those bandits to the Young Master!”
After the 3,000 soldiers from Bing Province had gathered, Lu Bu wielded his Heavenly Halberd and rode on a red date horse. He wore a tiger-head chain armor and looked extremely domineering.
Following which, Lu Bu pointed his Heavenly Halberd at the sky and shouted!
"Let's go!"
……
On the other side, Liu Yu, who had no idea that Ding Yuan had sent Lu Bu to hunt him down, had already led over ten thousand soldiers to the border of Yanzhou.
At this moment, more than a day had passed since the army marched, so there was not much food left.
Although it was Liu Yu's first time leading troops, he had the help of his five Tiger Generals, so there was nothing wrong with the deployment of troops.
"Brother, the scouts have reported that in front of us is Yanzhou's Chen Liu Yi Wu County. It is said that there is a big family there. They are rich and heartless and have occupied the land of their fellow countrymen.”
After hearing Chong Lin's words, Liu Yu's expression changed slightly. This plot seemed very familiar!
"Then, what about the Li family's grain? Can you give me a month's worth of rations for my ten thousand strong army? How many soldiers and horses are there in Yiwu County? How long will it take to take them down by force?”
Chong Lin said with a smile.
"Brother, don't worry. There are only 300 soldiers in Yiwu County, and the Li family is a rich merchant. They are rich and heartless, and the people have long complained about them!”
