Chapter 462 Dong Zhuo wants to play Infernal Affairs
Dong Zhuo's two choices were very particular.
Because this matter is relatively risky, if you want to succeed, you need to be bold and careful, you need to be brave, and you need to have enough greed and fame.
Only when these conditions are met, can one be willing to risk one's life for fame and fortune. Ordinary salted fish do not have this ability.
In addition, a certain degree of loyalty is also necessary. Otherwise, if you inform him before the matter is settled, it will be useless.
Dong Zhuo first considered some of his cronies. Niu Fu, his son-in-law, Dong Yue, his fellow clansman, Duan Xuan, and his subordinates were all brave enough but not careful enough, or lacked loyalty in his opinion.
Aspiration for fame.
As for the few captains below, such as Li Jue, Guo Si, etc., they can fight well on the battlefield, but it is somewhat difficult to perform these tasks.
After thinking about it, he thought of Lu Bu and his friend Li Su.
This pair was discovered and promoted after he became the governor of Bingzhou. Both of them originally played the role of small officers in the army of Bingzhou. They were the kind of people who worked hard. Both of them received some education, but not to a deep level.
.
Despite this, in Bingzhou, where the average education level is prenatal education, it can be considered Kochi.
The situation in Bingzhou was in chaos before, and the culture of these two people had nowhere to display. Fortunately, they were brave enough and became sluts in the army. They survived and became quite famous. Later, they were spotted by Dong Zhuo who was eager to expand his power and promoted him personally.
.
Li Su was promoted to school captain after many promotions.
Lu Bu was especially loved by Dong Zhuo because of his bravery and proficiency in writing, so he made him his chief secretary and formed a friendship between the emperor and his ministers.
Later, in a military operation against the Huns, Lu Bu showed bravery and even led his troops to attack the Huns' encirclement, saving the life of Dong Zhuo, who was advancing with light troops.
Afterwards, Dong Zhuo was very happy and decided to accept Lu Bu as his adopted son.
Lu Bu was very happy at that time.
"Bu lost his father in his early years and spent half his life alone and helpless. Now that he has received such love from the public, Bu is extremely grateful. I only hope that the public will not think Bu is despicable. Bu is willing to regard the public as his righteous father and fulfill his filial piety at his knees!"
Dong Zhuo laughed loudly and helped Lu Bu up, and the two formed a father-son relationship.
During this period of time, Lu Bu's loyalty, filial piety and bravery were noticed by Dong Zhuo. Not only was he able to handle the daily work of the chief clerk, but when Dong Zhuo needed it, Lu Bu also defended Dong Zhuo with a knife, showing an unspeakable look of loyalty.
, quite conscientious.
Among all his subordinates, no one was better than Lu Bu in terms of personal bravery. Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo's old subordinates also had some battles in terms of bravery, and they won every time and never suffered a defeat.
In terms of agility, Li Su, who was good at observing words and expressions, was admired by Dong Zhuo.
Dong Zhuo often felt that his greatest achievement during his tenure as governor of Bingzhou was these two people.
When paired together, these two people were capable of literary and military skills, bravery, agility, and capable of accomplishing great things, so Dong Zhuo decided to hand over Liu Bei's task to these two people.
After a while, the guards led two tall and strong men to Dong Zhuo.
"My son meets his adoptive father!"
"Please pay your respects to the general!"
Lu Bu and Li Su saluted Dong Zhuo.
Dong Zhuo smiled and helped Lu Bu up, and asked Li Su to excuse himself.
"I don't know if my adoptive father has summoned me. Is there something important?"
The tall and handsome Lu Bu was a little confused about Dong Zhuo's sudden summons, and his friend Li Su, who was discussing things with him, was also a little confused. The two of them came in a hurry, not knowing what important thing had happened.
Dong Zhuo retreated, leaving Lu Bu and Li Su alone.
"There is indeed something important."
Dong Zhuo patted Lu Bu on the shoulder and whispered: "Fengxian, my father needs you to lead an elite force to Luoyang and stationed in the military camp of the general He Jin to serve as an internal support for the hussar general Liu Bei. Wait for him to send a signal.
, you led the troops to He Jin's camp and caused a great chaos.
By then, He Jin or Yuan Wei may both be in the military camp, or one may be there and the other not, but there is always someone there. No matter who is there, you must find ways to kill him. Li Su, as Fengxian's assistant, you all
Are you confident that the two of you can complete this task together?"
After hearing Dong Zhuo's words, Lu Bu and Li Su didn't react for a while.
"Father, who to kill?"
"General He Jin, or Situ Yuan Wei, if they cause trouble, no matter who is there, kill them. If both of them are here, it would be better to kill them both!"
Dong Zhuo's words were filled with murderous intent.
"ah?!"
Lu Bu and Li Su were both stunned, shocked, and looked horrified.
"General, what's wrong with you?"
Li Su was shocked and said: "Those are the generals, and Situ! What's more, you are not Situ Gong's..."
"Well, yes, I am an old official of the Yuan family, but things have changed now."
Dong Zhuo told Lu Bu and Li Su about the agreement between himself and Liu Bei, and briefly talked about the current basic situation in Luoyang, saying that he believed Liu Bei had a greater chance of winning.
If he continues to side with Yuan Wei, he will not escape the fate of being liquidated, and his subordinates such as Lu Bu and Li Su will also not escape the fate of being liquidated.
Liu Bei has always been ruthless and would never leave any remnants of his competitors to occupy important positions, so for the sake of everyone's safety, he decided to endure the humiliation and change the situation, play a game of Infernal Affairs, help Liu Bei win, and then get generous rewards.
.
It was a reward that Yuan Wei could not give him.
As the main leaders of the operation, Lu Bu and Li Su will be recognized by Liu Bei afterwards, and through his operation, they will all take up positions in Luoyang in the near future, and they will also be very high positions.
For them, who came from humble backgrounds, it can be said that they reached the sky in one step.
Lu Bu and Li Su were both stunned, imagining a future where they could go from the border to the imperial capital Luoyang to take up positions, and they couldn't help but be tempted.
It is not difficult to kill people. They live in a hot land like Bingzhou where everyone mixes with each other on a daily basis. They can kill people with no more than a nod.
But killing officials is worthy of discussion.
Killing the general, Situ, is even more debatable.
The subsequent rewards are certainly very tempting, but whether they can live to enjoy the rewards they deserve is another matter.
Lu Bu looked at Li Su.
Li Su saluted Dong Zhuo.
"The general trusts me, and Su is very grateful. But is the matter of assassinating the general Situ too important? Su is not a greedy person. I am afraid that the general's request will not be fulfilled in the chaos of the army, which will delay the general's important task. Will the general think twice?"
?”
Dong Zhuo shook his head.
"You are the Bingzhou Army, my subordinates, and elites with strong combat capabilities. I will recommend you directly to Yuan Wei and He Jin. With their greedy and fearful character, I will definitely use you as personal bodyguards to protect them.
It's safe, you can have direct contact with these two people.
Since you are a close protector, you will not admit your mistakes. So, if chaos breaks out in the army, you will take the opportunity to kill people, and then join the rebel army to fight your way out of the military camp. Don't you have confidence? Fengxian has always been brave, I believe
Fengxian will definitely be able to accomplish this."
Lu Bu blinked, feeling a little unsure.
"Father, I..."
"My son, my father's trust in you is very deep. This time, my father's fame, wealth and life are in your hands. If you succeed, my father will be safe. If you fail, my father's life will be at risk."
Paul, once this happens, my father and you are already one and the same, so what else do you have to worry about?"
Dong Zhuo put his hands on Lu Bu's shoulders and spoke sincerely.
Then what he said is indeed correct. If you really want to count it out, the lives of Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu are really connected.
The two have a father-son relationship, which is well known to everyone in Bingzhou. If Lu Bu makes a mistake, Dong Zhuo will not get any favors. He is lucky to be on the run, and even if he dies in the chaos, he will have a good death.
As soon as this incident came out, regardless of whether Lu Bu liked it or not, he was involved and became an innocent victim.
Lu Bu actually didn't want to take such a big risk to do this. Rather than killing the general and Situ, he felt it was safer to continue beating the Huns and Xianbei at the border.
but……
In this matter, he really didn't seem to have much choice.
And Dong Zhuo was indeed generous. Seeing that Lu Bu was still hesitant, he used his ultimate move.
"This time, Liu Qiaoqi promised my father the position of a former general. If something big happens, I will be the first to take the lead. My father will definitely win you the title of general. At least you will be a post-general. How about that?"
