This was his father-in-law?
Was this the boorish Lu Bu who only knew how to kill?
Freaking novels and history were all lies, right?
One had to know that Lu Bu's words were too skillful. This wasn't something that an ordinary boorish person could think of.
Even if Zhang Chu had come himself, he would have said these things because they were what he was thinking.
He had analyzed this in his diary.
Retreating was an opportunity to gain more benefits for the Bingzhou Army and Lu Bu, while also increasing his reputation.
As for Luoyang, this hot potato, he couldn't be greedy. Giving it to Dong Zhuo was the best choice.
Otherwise, the gentry clans in Luoyang would still be a very powerful force.
Even though they were no match for them in terms of military strength, all the officials in the imperial court were basically their people.
These people could not be used by him, nor could they be killed.
Unless the court did not want any officials, no one would be able to grasp these things.
Therefore, after Dong Zhuo stayed in Luoyang for a period of time, not only did he fail to stabilize his hegemony, but he also ruined his entire foundation and was finally killed.
Dong Zhuo could not do it, and Lu Bu could not do it either.
The fact that he was able to take over Ding Yuan's strength was already his greatest gain.
However, this was what Zhang Chu thought.
He was a first-class strategist with 95 points of intelligence. It was normal for him to think of this.
But Lu Bu was not. Lu Bu was just a boorish man who only knew how to kill.
Now that he said such words, how could Zhang Chu not be shocked?
Lu Bu only told Dong Zhuo to hand over Ding Yuan and the person who had killed him, but he didn't say that Dong Zhuo had killed Ding Yuan.
Therefore, Dong Zhuo could hand over the person who informed Ding Yuan about the meeting in the palace and say that he had harmed Ding Yuan.
After all, Dong Zhuo had the final say in everything that happened in the palace.
Who among the officials of the imperial court would dare to oppose it?
Secondly, Lu Bu had said that he would leave Luoyang City after obtaining the person. This was something that Dong Zhuo was looking forward to.
Dong Zhuo only had 3,000 Western Liang cavalrymen. This was a force he could completely control.
The soldiers and generals that he had just gathered could still fight with him, but if something went wrong, these people might turn around and kill him.
Thus, Dong Zhuo didn't dare to attack Lu Bu.
He had not expected Lu Bu to have such a high prestige in the Bing Province Army. A mere official could command the entire Bing Province Army!
Just handing over Ding Yuan's corpse and an unimportant person would allow Lu Bu to lead the Bingzhou Army out of Luoyang. This was a great deal, and Dong Zhuo was naturally willing to do so.
Seeing how reasonable Lu Bu was, Dong Zhuo, who was on the wall, only considered for a moment before agreeing to Lu Bu's request. He then ordered his men to send Ding Yuan's corpse and the person who had harmed him out.
Ding Yuan had been killed by a flurry of arrows. He was pierced by several arrows, making him look like a porcupine.
His eyes were wide open, as if he could not believe that he would die like this.
When Lu Bu saw Ding Yuan's corpse, he took the lead and knelt down before it, saluting.
When the other Bing Province soldiers saw this, they all knelt down to welcome Ding Yuan's corpse.
All of a sudden, the morale of the entire Bingzhou Army was on Lu Bu's side.
"Greetings, General Lu!"
Not only did Dong Zhuo send Ding Yuan's body out, he also sent his own people out. The people who came out with Ding Yuan's body surprised Zhang Chu. It was Li Su, Li Ru and a few soldiers.
Seeing this, Zhang Chu quickly thought of what Dong Zhuo meant.
Dong Zhuo didn't just send Ding Yuan's body out. He had other intentions.
He had chosen Li Ru and Li Su, so the biggest possibility was to recruit Lu Bu to his side.
Li Ru was Dong Zhuo's advisor, and Li Su was Lu Bu's fellow countryman.
To Lu Bu, this was another opportunity.
However, Zhang Chu was worried that Lu Bu would not understand or accept it.
In addition, Lu Bu's performance just now, whether he had been enlightened or not, was also very important to Dong Zhuo.
Thus, he had asked Li Ru to come over to check out Lu Bu's background.
If Lu Bu's performance was too impressive, Dong Zhuo would not be so assured.
Zhang Chu was also curious about this.
What was his father-in-law thinking?
"General, you can't die in vain. As for who controls Luoyang, I don't care. As long as we don't break up the Bing Province Legion, we will listen to whoever gives us rations.”
After Ding Yuan's corpse was brought out, Lu Bu glanced at the officials on the city walls before leading the Bing Province Army back to their tents as if nothing had happened.
Li Su and Li Ru also followed, preparing to discuss with Lu Bu when they returned.
After arriving at the tent, Lu Bu ordered his men to clean up Ding Yuan's corpse while he started discussing with Li Su and Li Ru.
This time, Zhang Chu was kept by Lu Bu's side. This surprised both Li Ru and Zhang Chu.
Zhang Chu was surprised that Lu Bu would let him stay here. Li Ru was surprised because she didn't know Zhang Chu well and didn't know what this young man was doing.
