The story of a good bird choosing wood to live in, and a good minister choosing the Lord to walk;

Dong Zhuo stationed troops outside the city, led armored troops into the city every day, and rampaged through the streets, making people panic. Dong Zhuo went in and out of the imperial court without fear. Bao Xin, a captain, said to Yuan Shao, "I think Dong Zhuo must be unfaithful. It is better to get rid of it early. " Yuan Shao said, "The court has just made a decision, so we can't act rashly." Baoxin went to Wang Yun again and told him about it. Wang Yun said, "Let's discuss it.

One day, Dong Zhuo gave a big banquet and invited officials and officials from all over the country. Officials are afraid of Dong Zhuo. Who wouldn't? Dong Zhuo waited for all the officials to arrive, then slowly dismounted at the gate of the garden and put his sword on the table. After drinking for several rounds, Dong Zhuo ordered everyone to stop drinking and having fun. "I have a word, please listen to the officials." All the officers listened attentively. Dong Zhuo said: "The son of heaven is the king of all peoples. Without dignity, you can't serve the ancestral temple.

There are few emperors who are weak in Confucianism, so Chen Liuwang is not as clever and studious as Chen Liuwang. I want to abolish Shaohuang and establish Chen Liuwang. what do you think? "GuanBai listened to, dare not make any noise. At this moment, a man in the seat pushed the box straight out and shouted, "No! No way! Who are you? There is nothing wrong with the son of the first emperor who dares to talk big. Why do you want to abolish it? Is it a power rebellion? "

People look, but Jingzhou secretariat Ding Yuan also. Dong Zhuo was furious and shouted, "Those who obey me live, those who disobey me die!" " Stretched out his hand and drew his sword to cut Ding Yuan. At that time, Marotta, Dong Zhuo's counselor, saw a man standing behind Ding Yuan, looking dignified and imposing, holding a square painting halberd and glaring, knowing that he was not an ordinary person.

He hurried forward and advised, "Drink, drink. Today is a banquet. Don't talk about state affairs. We will discuss it in the capital tomorrow. They also persuaded Ding Yuan, and Ding Yuan angrily led his cronies to mount the horse. Dong Zhuo asked the official again: "Can my words be fair?" Lu Zhi said, "Gong Ming was wrong. Emperor Cheng, though young, did not make any mistakes.

You are a secretariat of other counties and have never participated in state affairs. How can you make such an opinion? "Dong Zhuo great anger, drew his sword to kill Lu Zhi. Officials quickly advised. At this time, Stuart Wang Yun said from the side: "It is really inappropriate to discuss the abolition of major events after drinking. Let's discuss it another day. "So the ministers walked separately. After the ministers dispersed, Dong Zhuo stood at the gate of the garden with his sword and suddenly saw a military commander prancing out.

Running back and forth outside the garden. Dong Zhuo didn't know, so he asked Marotta. Marotta said, "He is Ding Yuan's adopted son. His surname is Lumingbu, with the first word. He is very brave. Your master had better take refuge temporarily. " Dong Zhuo quietly returned to the garden to escape. The next day, it was reported that Ding Yuan led the troops to challenge outside the city. Dong Zhuo was furious and immediately went out to fight Marotta and his men.

The two sides arrayed themselves, only to see Lu Bu wearing a golden crown, a hundred flowers shirt and riding like a halberd, following Ding Yuan to the front. Ding Yuan pointed to Dong Zhuo and swore. Before Dong Zhuo could answer, Lu Bu had killed Pegasus. Dong Zhuo turned his horse's head and fled, and the war situation was in chaos. Ding Yuan's army was under siege and pursued for a while. Dong Zhuo was defeated and lost many troops.

After Dong Zhuo came back, he called everyone to discuss countermeasures. He kept saying that Fei Lu Bu was a talented person, and Su Li, a corps commander, stepped forward, willing to see Lu Bu and persuaded him to surrender. Dong Zhuo was overjoyed. Dong Zhuo asked how to surrender Lu Bu. Su Li said, "I heard that your master has a BMW called Red Rabbit, which can travel thousands of miles every day.

As long as you add this horse and the golden ball treasure, it will definitely make Lu Bu betray Ding Yuan and surrender to his master. Dong Zhuo listened with a grain of salt. He can't stand this red hare. He thought for a long time, then asked Marotta's opinion, Marotta advised him to agree. Dong Zhuo happily sent for Red Rabbit, took out 1200 gold, 10 pearls and a jade belt, and gave them to Su Li.

Su Li, wearing a jade belt, quietly led the horse to Lu Bu's camp. When he met Fulu's soldiers on the road, Su Li ordered Lu Bu to be informed. Lyu3 bu4 Su Li into consideration, two people meet very affectionate. Lu Bu asked, "Where are you from?"

Su Li said, "I am now the commander of the Tigers. I heard that my good brother is very proud, so I specially sent a good horse to strengthen your prestige. " When Lu Bu saw the horse, his body was as red as hot coals. Not a hair is a penny long and eight feet high. He growled as if he were going to fly into the sea. He liked it very much, so he thanked Su Li again and again.

Lu Bu gave a banquet in honor of Su Li, and the two chatted over coffee. When the wine was hot, Su Li teased Lu Bu and said, "Although we haven't seen each other for a long time, I often see your father." Lu Bu thought he was drunk, saying he was drunk. So he said, "Brother is drunk. My father died many years ago. How can I know you? "

Li Su smiled and said that he was talking about Ding Yuan. Lu Bu blushed and said wryly, "I was at Ding Yuan's place because I had to." Su Li said, "My good brother has the ability to sail, and no one in the world does not admire him! Fame and fortune are like finding things. You said you had to do this. Where do you start? " Lu Bu couldn't help sighing and said, "It's a pity that I have never met a wise master."

Su Li quickly approached Lu Bu and quipped, "A good bird chooses wood to live in, a good minister chooses the Lord to walk, and a good brother should make up his mind as soon as possible." Lu Bu said, "Brother has always been in the imperial court. You always know who the hero is, right? " When Su Li asked, she was filled with joy and praised Dong Zhuo a lot. Lyu3 bu4 only hate that there is no way to defect, angry sigh.
