Chapter 755: Dong Zhuo Goes Alone to the Meeting! [1]
Outside the east side of Guangzong City.
Three large camps stood in a mutual support formation, the firelight in the camps soaring to the sky, as bright as day.
In front of Lu Zhi's main central camp, Liu Bei, along with his brothers Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, stood at the camp gate.
Liu Bei was dressed in plain clothes, but Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were both in armor.
Zhang Fei, holding the Serpent Spear, and Guan Yu, holding the Green Dragon Crescent Blade, stood to the left and right behind Liu Bei.
"Second Brother, Third Brother, don't be so nervous. Don't let Dong Zhuo see any clues," Liu Bei said in a low voice without looking back.
Zhang Fei chuckled and nodded: "Big Brother, don't worry. Even if he sees it, what can he do? If he dares to resist, watch me poke one hundred and eighty holes in him."
As soon as Zhang Fei said this, Liu Bei's expression changed immediately.
"Third Brother, stop talking nonsense," Liu Bei turned to look at Zhang Fei and said, "No matter what, do not hurt the Eastern General of the Household, do you hear me?"
Zhang Fei scratched his head in confusion: "Big Brother, what if he resists?"
"Besides, as long as we take him down, what can his subordinates do? What is Big Brother afraid of?"
Liu Bei's eyelids twitched.
There is nothing to fear about Dong Zhuo; as long as he is captured, the Western Main Camp can be controlled.
The problem is...
The problem is Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, Duan Yu!
After tonight, the news of Dong Zhuo's capture will likely reach Duan Yu's ears.
Once this news reaches Duan Yu's ears, what will Duan Yu do?
If Duan Yu comes to Jizhou, what will happen?
Given Duan Yu's style of action, let alone the three brothers, even his teacher Lu Zhi would likely have to be careful.
If the three brothers really take action, then...
Will Duan Yu's wrath be poured out upon them?
Certainly!
This is beyond doubt.
"Third Brother, do not be impulsive later. Follow my lead in everything, do you hear me?" Liu Bei said in a stern tone.
Zhang Fei hung his head and said "Oh."
"Second Brother, unless there is a special situation, you must not take action," Liu Bei turned his gaze to Guan Yu.
Guan Yu nodded in agreement.
As time passed.
The sound of horse hooves came from the distance.
Liu Bei looked up and saw a team of cavalry holding torches coming in their direction.
Adjusting the expression on his face, Liu Bei straightened his back.
The dozens of cavalrymen holding torches came from afar, and in a short while, they arrived at the gate of the Eastern Main Camp.
The leader was none other than Dong Zhuo.
Liu Bei looked at Dong Zhuo and the troops behind him.
Fortunately, the number was not large, only a few dozen riders.
And...
The great general who always followed Dong Zhuo did not seem to be there.
"Eastern General of the Household." Liu Bei stepped forward and cupped his hands in salute to Dong Zhuo: "This subordinate, under the orders of my teacher Lu Zhi, is specifically waiting here for the Eastern General of the Household."
"Haha."
Dong Zhuo, wearing armor and holding a horse whip, laughed heartily and dismounted.
The dozens of cavalry behind him also dismounted with Dong Zhuo.
"Northern General of the Household is too polite, making you three brothers wait here for so long."
"Let's go, let's go, let's go inside quickly. The Northern General of the Household must have been waiting anxiously," Dong Zhuo said, waving his hand as he walked toward the Eastern Main Camp: "I was delayed by some minor matters just now."
Liu Bei, with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, stepped aside to let Dong Zhuo enter the camp gate first.
His eyes swept over Dong Zhuo's guards inadvertently, and then he followed Dong Zhuo's footsteps.
"By the way, your name is Liu Bei, right?" Dong Zhuo asked as he walked into the camp: "I heard people say you are a member of the Han imperial clan?"
Liu Bei, following behind Dong Zhuo, nodded slightly.
Before Liu Bei could answer, Zhang Fei shouted in a loud voice: "That's right, my Big Brother is a descendant of Prince Jing of Zhongshan, of course he is a member of the Han imperial clan."
"Hehe." Dong Zhuo smiled and didn't pay much attention.
Being a member of the Han imperial clan is nothing rare.
In the four hundred years of the two Han dynasties, there have been many members of the Han imperial clan.
Like those who had fiefs before, every pavilion and every township was full of people with the surname Liu; you could call out any one of them and they would be a member of the Han imperial clan.
For ordinary people, the four words "Han imperial clan" might have some effect.
But for true scholar-clans, powerful families, and officials, only those who currently have commanderies, kingdoms, or titles are called members of the Han imperial clan.
Like Liu Bei, who needs to rely on teacher-student relationships to enter the army and only holds the rank of a small military officer, he certainly has no title and no fief.
Dong Zhuo's light chuckle made Liu Bei feel ashamed.
"Seeing you few reminds me of my son-in-law," Dong Zhuo said proudly, lifting his chin: "You've heard of Duan Yu, right?"
Liu Bei quickly nodded: "Replying to the Eastern General of the Household, I have heard of him, the tiger general of the world, Liangzhou Governor Duan Yu."
"Haha." Dong Zhuo nodded with a smile: "Yes, that's right, that is my son-in-law."
"You three have not met my son-in-law yet. When you have the chance, you must meet him."
"My son-in-law doesn't have much else around him, but his fierce generals are like clouds."
"These two brothers of yours have the posture of being able to defeat ten thousand men, and my son-in-law's subordinates also have many fierce generals with superb martial arts."
"When you have the chance, you must get to know each other."
Hearing Dong Zhuo say that Duan Yu's fierce generals were like clouds, Guan Yu, who was following behind Liu Bei, narrowed his eyes, his expression arrogant.
"Of course, those fierce generals under my son-in-law are still not as good as him."
Dong Zhuo became more and more proud as he spoke.
"Last year, when we went to the Xiongnu, my son-in-law only used one strike to subdue the Xiongnu, making the Southern Xiongnu Chanyu not dare to act rashly."
"And then there is his archery." ===== CHAPTER 757 =====
