Chapter 68: True Divine Powers [Seeking Follow-up Reading]

The cold moon shines through the clouds, casting a quiet silver light.

Lu Bu had just met with Dong Zhuo's men. After they separated, he rode his horse and whipped it on the streets of Luoyang, feeling happier than ever before.

The soldiers and generals behind him followed on horseback, the sound of their hooves sounding like thunder.

More people from Bingzhou are gathering.

If he surrenders to Dong Zhuo, the South Gate of Luoyang will be completely isolated, and the troops will be greatly divided and weakened, making it easy to capture it.

Because of Lu Bu, Luoyang will be completely controlled by Dong Zhuo.

What a credit!
Dong Zhuo had agreed, and after taking control of Luoyang, he promoted him to General of the Central Army.

The gains from killing Ding Yuan were not limited to this. When he led the troops, a stream of Qi was absorbed into his body. Lu Bu felt that his military training was growing stronger and stronger.

The towering city wall of the East Gate appeared in front of us.

Lu Bu jumped off his horse while galloping as if he were walking on flat ground.

On the top of the city wall, two armies were facing each other.

The Xiyuan Army led by Feng Fang, and the troops left behind by Lu Bu.

Lu Bu's troops suddenly took over the city gate completely and did not allow Feng Fang's men to continue to assist in the defense.

Feng Fang immediately became alert and led his troops to confront Lu Bu's men.

"Feng Fang and the Xiyuan Army refused to give up the area they were stationed in."

Lu Bu climbed up the city wall and his deputy general approached.

Feng Fang and his troops from Xiyuan were surrounded by Lu Bu's larger troops and were clearly at a disadvantage.

Lü Bu came to the confrontation, full of murderous intent: "Feng Fang, a man who knows the times is a hero. Do you think you can stop me, Lü Bu?"

"Look around, how many soldiers do I have?"

The Bingzhou army gathered from all directions under the city, with more than ten thousand men and horses, and their power was overwhelming.

Feng Fang's face was gloomy, but Cao Cao's previous instructions emerged in his mind. He pursed his lips and said nothing.

"Let me ask you one more question, surrender or not? If you surrender, put down your weapons and I will spare your life. If you dare to say no, I will kill you immediately!"

Suddenly, a sound like a tiger's roar came from Lu Bu's body.

The sharpness of the weapons it unleashed seemed to be able to shake down the stars in the sky.

Feng Fang and Xiyuan Jun couldn't help but change color.

Just as Lu Bu was about to give the order to attack, Feng Fang threw down the ring-handled sword in his hand and said: "I am willing to surrender. I only ask that you do not harm my subordinates. I will take them with me to surrender."

Lu Bu sneered, he actually had the intention to kill.

There is no hero without poison. Since we have started, we must completely eliminate the hidden dangers.

But there were many Bingzhou generals behind him, all of whom were recent surrenders and were ready to follow him to join Dong Zhuo, so he had to consider these people's feelings.

If Feng Fang is willing to surrender and then he is killed, what will the newly surrendered Bingzhou army think? I'm afraid they will feel secretly insecure.

In addition, keeping Feng Fang alive could be used as a prisoner later to hold Cao Cao hostage.

As his thoughts came and went, Lu Bu said, "Seize their weapons and keep them under strict guard."

Immediately, the troops stepped forward like wolves and tigers, tied up and detained Feng Fang and others, and took them to the city and imprisoned them.

Lu Bu turned around and looked down from the top of the city.

There were many soldiers and horses standing in front of him, all of them were generals and followers from Bingzhou.

Just as Dong Zhuo made a great promise to him, he also made great promises to these people, promoting them to higher positions and never treating them unfairly.

He took control of the East Gate effortlessly, and the outcome was decided.

Lu Bu went down from the city wall and came to the government office at the foot of the city.

Inside the government office, the lights were bright as if it were daytime.

There were two people sitting in the main hall, looking like they had been waiting for a long time.

One is Zhen Yu from the Zhen family, and the other is Zhen Xin.

Previously, Zhen Xin had expressed that she liked Lu Bu's bravery and handsome appearance.

After that, Zhen Yu tried to ask someone.

The Zhen family had connections and resources, and Zhen Xin was also a beauty. Lu Bu came from a humble family and needed these things to help him, so he readily agreed.

After a few interactions, the two sides have become quite close.

The relationship between Zhen Xin and Lu Bu quickly warmed up. Seeing Lu Bu coming in, Zhen Xin's face flashed with joy: "Fengxian, how is it going?"

Lu Bu said: "Ding Yuan was hit in the chest by me, he will definitely die. I also want to thank Jinxuan for helping me with the plan."

Jinxuan is Zhen Xin's pen name.

She smiled and said, "With your bravery, Fengxian, you can completely control the situation in Luoyang. Why should you be inferior to others?"

"Cao Cao tricked you into guarding the city gate while he himself mediated between the parties in the city. He got all the benefits. He was thinking good things."

"Ding was not a good person originally. If you get rid of him, your military power will increase greatly. What can't you do?
Offering the East Gate to Dong Sikong is just the first step. Then, when Dong Sikong lets you take the South Gate and defeat the Xiyuan Army, you will have made continuous achievements. It is not difficult for you to do all these things, Fengxian."

"What we will gain then is not comparable to guarding the city gates."

Zhen Xin said: "Fengxian, listen to my advice, and great things will be accomplished."

Lu Bu said gently, "What Jinxuan said is exactly what I thought."

Zhen Xin raised the corner of her mouth modestly.

Zhen Yu asked, "The soldiers from Liangzhou attacked the Taifu Mansion a few days ago. Have you figured out what I asked Fengxian to find out?"

Lu Bu: "Jinxuan's elder sister Zhenyan and another person from Yuan Taifu's residence fled in the face of danger. Perhaps they were being chased closely. No news has been sent back yet. But they are not dead, but their whereabouts are unknown."

Zhen Yu sighed and nodded slightly.

Zhen Xin came to Lu Bu and reached out to help him straighten his collar:

"You have to take my sister's matter to heart.

But the most important thing at the moment is to firmly grasp the East Gate. Cao Cao has his own calculations, and I am afraid he will send someone to seize the East Gate. It is best to kill Feng Fang and leave no future troubles. "

Lu Bu said, "I have already captured Feng Fang, and there will be no rebellion. If you keep him, maybe Dong Sikong can still be of use."

"Then you should go to the palace. First, to report your achievements to Dong Sikong, and second, to let him know that you are not complacent. If he needs it, you can replace the guard of the East Gate and let his people take over." Zhen Xin thought.

Lu Bu: "I just ran into Dong Sikong's people and was about to enter the palace.

"These Bingzhou generals have just surrendered, and Dong Sikong wants to meet them. Only when he personally promises to bestow rewards on them can they feel at ease."

"I'm going."

Lu Bu left the house, mounted his horse, and went to the palace to meet Dong Zhuo.

Behind him, the newly joined Bingzhou generals also went to the palace.

After Lu Bu left, Zhen Xin looked back at Zhen Yu:

"I will marry Lu Bu, and he will join Dong Zhuo. Brother can rest assured and stand together with the various families in the court. No matter who gains power, I can protect my Zhen family."

Zhen Yu frowned and said, "Even Your Majesty, Yuan Taifu, dared to move Dong Zhuo. All the nobles in the world are in danger. Dong Zhuo is so violent that even if he suppresses people and makes them dare not resist for a while, I am afraid it will not last long."

Zhen Xin said: "Brother is wrong, he can win over some people and get rid of others."

"The Yuan family has three dukes in four generations. A tall tree attracts the wind. Dong Zhuo dealing with them can shock the court and the people, and there is nothing wrong with that."

The two talked, went out, got in the car, and returned to the Zhen family.

There is a house at the foot of the east gate, which is strictly guarded by soldiers inside and outside.

Inside the house, Feng Fang and others were under strict surveillance.

At daybreak, the door of the room where Feng Fang was being held opened silently, and a figure rushed in.

Feng Fang remembered Cao Cao's previous instructions, which told him that if anything unexpected happened, he should surrender to Lu Bu first and not resist or risk his life.

After accepting the surrender, all they have to do is wait patiently. Someone will come to release them and then they can act according to the plan.

Feng Fang chose to surrender because he remembered Cao Cao's instructions.

He had originally planned to fight to the death to defend the city gate.

After being tied up, someone actually came to open the door, just as Cao Cao said.

General Shang is really powerful. Who is this man and why could he enter the house that is strictly guarded by the Bingzhou Army... Feng Fang thought.

Cao Mansion.

Cao Cao returned home from Nancheng.

Jia Xu was already waiting in the study.

"How's it going?"

"Don't worry, General. This is not difficult. It's just a matter of pushing it forward."

Jia Xu said: "According to the order of the general, the mansion borrowed the woman to live with her and let her participate appropriately."
