Originally, Lu Zhi and Min Gong's men should have arrived in Xiaopingjin long ago, but Lu Bu sent a few soldiers to pretend to be villagers. When Lu Zhi and others asked Zhang Rang whereabouts, they pointed to another direction. In this way, Lu Zhi and others were wasting a long time outside Luoyang City, which also left Lu Bu plenty of time to trade with Zhang Rang.

Lu Bu turned his horse's head and stopped Lu Zhi: "Mr. Lu, don't chase him anymore. Zhang Rang jumped into the river and committed suicide. His body was washed away by the river. Duan Gui and others were shot to death by our army. The young emperor and King Chenliu were safe and sound."

Lu Zhi looked closely and saw that Lu Bu was holding King Chenliu Liu Xie in his arms, while another handsome young general Qin Yi sat in front of the horse with the young emperor Liu Bian.

Lu Zhi was overjoyed and jumped off his horse to salute Liu Bian and Liu Xie. Liu Bian still didn't know how to deal with it, but Liu Xie calmly said: "Shangshu Lu asked him to flatten the horse, and we must hurry to go to Beijing to appease the subjects. You and General Lu, General Min's achievements in saving the emperor, I and the emperor will not forget you, and I will definitely give you a great reward."

Lu Bu pretended to be in a fearful and terrified manner and thanked Lu Zhi for his kindness.

When Lu Bu raised his head and saw from a distance that the sky was gradually turning white, he saw a black dove flying in the sky.

Lu Bu was very strange. In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, few people raised pigeons in the Central Plains. The pigeon came very strangely. Could it be a carrier pigeon (Note 1). Lu Bu took out the Overlord's Bow from behind and wanted to shoot the pigeon down.

This Overlord Bow is said to be a person of Xiang Yu, the overlord of the Western Chu king. The bow body is made of black iron from the sky. The bow string is said to be the back tendon of a black dragon in Wujiang (probably the Yangtze crocodile), a black dragon and even a cold thing. It is very tough, so this bow string is not afraid of ice and fire, nor is it afraid of swords. The black iron body black dragon string determines that the bow is very hard, and it must be pulled up with at least five stones. Since Xiang Yu, only the flying general Li Guang can use it. After Li Guang's death, the bow is turned in the hands of many generals. It was not until Lu Bu that the hero's bow has a place to be used.

The black iron and the dragon are both black, so the entire Overlord Bow is black all over. The Overlord Bow is also used in conjunction with the Black Iron Arrow. The Black Iron Arrow seems to have been carefully crafted, which is very consistent with the principles of aerodynamics in the words of later generations. The arrows shot were 100%. It is estimated that these equipment were used to shoot halberds outside the gate of Lu Bu in history.

Lu Bu held the Overlord's Bow in his hand, and felt strange in his heart because he remembered "Overlord - Hard Bow" (Note 2). Fortunately, there was no such statement in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, otherwise it would be a bit embarrassing to use it.

Lu Bu pulled out a black iron arrow from the arrow bag and put it on the Overlord's Bow. He didn't even look at it, and shot at the pigeon. A cold light hit the pigeon's head. The pigeon landed on the ground with a thunderous sound. The two guards immediately stepped forward and picked up the pigeon.

It turned out that Lu Bu only glanced at him and predicted that the pigeon would fly there. Based on his more than 20 years of experience in shooting archery, during the time when the arrow was shot, the position of the arrow was exactly the same as the position of the pigeon's flying, and he had to shoot the pigeon's head without any bias. If it was shot into the body or wings of the pigeon, the domesticated pigeon could still struggle to continue flying.

A personal guard found a piece of silk on the legs of the pigeon and presented it to Lu Bu. Lu Bu spread the silk, which read: "Ding Yuan collected He Jin and He Miao soldiers more than 30,000." Because Lu Bu was originally Ding Yuan's subordinate, and there was no rumor that Lu Bu was appointed as Guangluxun's imperial edict, so Lu Bu went to recruit the army, and was often misunderstood by outsiders that he was the Jinwu Ding Yuan to recruit him, but he did not know that the military power was already in the hands of Lu Bu.

Lu Bu looked at the direction the pigeon flew around again. He flew to Mianchi from Luoyang City. He sighed and handed the silk to Lu Zhi: "Mr. Lu, look."

Lu Bu knew that when Lu Zhi was falsely accused and removed from office and imprisoned, Dong Zhuo was the one who commanded Lu Zhi's troops. As a result, Dong Zhuo was defeated in the situation where Lu Zhi was sure to win, so Lu Zhi had a bad impression of Dong Zhuo, and he happened to use Lu Zhi to arouse the resentment and rejection of Dong Zhuo by the imperial court.

After a little thought, Lu Zhi understood the reason: "It must be sent to Dong Zhuo by Dong Zhuo's brother Dong Min. Dong Zhuo stayed in Mianchi and did not move. As expected, he had wolfish ambitions and must be guarded."

Lu Bu deliberately frowned: "Duke Lu, now there are less than 30,000 weak brigades under my command in Luoyang City. How can I fight against Dong Zhuo's 100,000 Western Liang Iron Cavalry? If Dong Zhuo really has a different ambition, the Han Dynasty will be in danger."

Lu Zhi had a stern face: "Why did General Lu say this? Now Wang Kuang, the chief officer of the General's Office, summoned three thousand powerful crossbowmen from his hometown of Taishan County, Yanzhou. Qiao Mao, the prefect of Dongjun, led 4,000 elite troops to station in Chenggao (Xingyang, Henan) not far from Luoyang. There are also 16,000 elite troops from the West Garden of the Eighth Army of Yuan Shao, the Sili School Commander. In addition, the scattered soldiers recruited from various places in Sili, carefully calculated that there are no less than 50,000 loyal and brave men in the capital, and the 50,000 people may not win the decisive battle in the wild. It is more than enough to defend the city. Besides, how dare Dong Zhuo attack the capital?"

When Lu Bu heard this, he felt familiar with it and suddenly remembered that he had said this to Huang Zhong, but that was purely used to fool Huang Zhong.

Dong Zhuo did not dare to attack Luoyang City, but he used the order of General He Jin as a guise and temporarily pretended to be loyal to Yuan Shao, who was afraid of the world's chaos. Yuan Shao also wanted to introduce Dong Zhuo to deal with other forces that disobey him, such as Ding Yuan's Bingzhou Cavalry, and Dong Zhuo's younger brother in Beijing, Dong Yu, who was in charge of the carriage and carriage, was just killing He Jin's brother He Miao with He Jin's troops. With the help of Yuan Shao, who served as the Sili School lieutenant, the two brothers Dong Zhuo and Dong Min cooperated inside and outside, and it would be as easy as getting into Luoyang City as if they were to find a bag.

After Lu Bu measured his mind, he became confident in his heart, but he could not tell the truth to Lu Zhiming: "What Mr. Lu said was so true, Bu would relax."

Perhaps because he was afraid that a pigeon would fail halfway, Dong Min sent another pigeon to Mianchi. Lu Bu's eyes were like lightning. He saw the flying pigeon again, but he was unwilling to shoot the pigeon down again.

After receiving the information sent by Dong Min, Dong Zhuo dispelled the plan to lead 3,000 elite cavalry to Luoyang today, and instead rectified the 100,000 Western Liang Iron Cavalry, preparing to spend two days and two nights to arrive in Luoyang.

With the future Emperor Xian of Han, Liu Xie, Lu Bu could not do his best to gallop, so he ordered his soldiers to walk slowly and arrived at the north gate of Luoyang City after noon.

Note 1: Legend has it that Xiang Yu, the King of Chu, has infinite power. When he puts on the bow string, he tied one end of the bow string, and then used his arms to compete to press the bow string, and used brute force to put the bow string on it. Therefore, there was a saying that "the king of the king of the king of Chu," which later meant strong-brute force. The reason was very simple. The king of the king of Chu, is strong, and has great strength. If he is strong, he should use strong bows to pull the bow. Even strong men like the King of Chu, he needs to pull the bow. The arrows shot in this way must be "strong arrows". The ancients used strong arrows to replace strong-brute force. Therefore, "the king of the king of the king of Chu" is a kind of "tatistical word", and the right and wrong are to use the word "strong-brute force" as a substitute.

Note 2: Legend has it that when the Chu and Han Dynasty were fighting, Liu Bang, who was chased by Xiang Yu and hid in a deserted well, released a pigeon for help and was rescued. When Zhang Qian and Ban Chao were out of the Western Regions, they also used pigeons to convey information.

Note 3: "Book of the Later Han Dynasty: Biography of He Jin" summoned the former general Dong Zhuo to station Shanglinyuan in Guanzhong, and sent the prefect of Taishan Wang Kuangdong to launch a powerful crossbow in his county. He also summoned the prefect of Dongjun Qiaomao to station Chenggao, and ordered Wu Meng Duwei Ding Yuan to burn Mengjin and Huo Zhaocheng in the city, all of which were to punish eunuchs.
