Chapter 33 Coming to Luoyang

Chen Gong held his fists and said, "Mr. Ming is worthy of being the descendant of the third generation of the fourth generation. He is so wise! I believe that after my general comes, he will definitely help Ming Gong eliminate the eight desolates and achieve hegemony!" Yuan Shao was quite happy and laughed. Then Yuan Shao wrote an order and gave it to Chen Gong, and asked Chen Gong to take it back and hand it to Lu Bu immediately. Chen Gong took the order and said goodbye.

As soon as Chen Gong left, Tian Feng said to Yuan Shao: "Ming Gong, then Lu Bu is a jackal and ruthless! He was Ding Yuan's adopted son before, but he killed Ding Yuan and defected to Dong Zhuo; and then killed Dong Zhuo for a woman!" Yuan Shao was slightly shocked. Tian Feng continued: "If Ming Gong took Lu Bu in, wouldn't he repeat the mistakes of Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo?" Although Yuan Shao felt that what Tian Feng said made sense, he was unhappy to hear him joining him with Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo, and asked, "So what should you do in your opinion?"

Tian Feng said: "I am afraid that I will encourage others to have the power of others when I let Lu Bu leave. It is better to take this opportunity to trick Lu Bu into eliminating him, so that he can eliminate future troubles forever!" Yuan Shao hesitated. He was reluctant to part with Lu Bu's talents, but he also felt that what Tian Feng said seemed to make sense.

At this moment, Xu You came in and paid homage to Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao hurriedly asked Xu You, "Ziyuan, do you know that Lu Bu is trying to follow me?"

Xu You smiled and clasped his fists and said, "I came to congratulate Ming Gong after hearing about this!"

Yuan Shao asked curiously, "Why did Ziyuan congratulate?"

Xu You said: "There is a saying that 'Lu Bu among people and Red Hare among horses'. Lu Fengxian had a square-sky painting halberd in the world with invincible hands! Thinking about how powerful the Xiliang army is, how fierce Guo Si and Li Qi are. However, with several times the troops, they were still defeated by Lu Fengxian and finally retreated in the mouth of the fox. This shows that Lu Fengxian's hero is well-known! Ming Gong is determined to be the world. If he can get Lu Fengxian's help, he can sweep the world and dominate the world! Today, Lu Fengxian is poor and comes to surrender. It can be said that God helps Ming Gong. How can his subordinates not come to congratulate Ming Gong!"

Yuan Shao was overjoyed and praised: "Ziyuan said it well!"

Tian Feng hurriedly said, "Then Lu Bu's heart is so heartless that he will kill Ding Yuan first and then Dong Zhuo. If the lord takes him in, wouldn't he have to repeat the mistakes of Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo!"

Xu You smiled and mocked, "Lord Tian Feng actually put my lord together with Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo. I really look down on my lord!" Yuan Shao agreed in his heart and snorted at Tian Feng, his displeasure was already beyond words. Tian Feng wanted to defend himself, but he could not find any words for a moment.

Xu You clasped his fists and said, "Ming Gong, as the saying goes, only heroes can control lions and tigers. Ding Yuan, Dong Zhuo and others are mediocre. What is the normal surprise? It is not easy to control a powerful general like Lu Fengxian! Some people are ridiculous and far-fetched and say a simple thing mysteriously and mysterious! Ming Gong is the descendant of the three generations of the four generations and three kings, with a reputation in the world and a great strategy. He can be called a true hero. He can control a tiger and wolf general like Lu Bu! Lu Bu's return to Ming Gong is like a sword returning to heroes, which can be said to complement each other!"

Yuan Shao was overjoyed and praised, "Ziyuan said so well!" Then he glared at Tian Feng and shouted, "I almost believed my slander and lost a powerful general!" Tian Feng said anxiously, "Ming Gong, you must not accept Lu Bu! It will definitely cause great harm if you take it!" Yuan Shao was furious and shouted, "I have decided, don't say it again!"

Ai Lang waited for Chen Gong to come back at Hangu Pass and learned that Chen Gong had already persuaded Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shao also set out Xingyang to raise soldiers and settle the people for him. He was overjoyed and immediately led all the troops and people out of Hangu Pass to head towards Luoyang. Soon after, Yuan Shao's troops entered Hangu Pass to guard the important transportation route to the west.

Two days later, Ailang led everyone to the city of Luoyang. Yuan Shao personally led all officials out of the city to greet him, and spoke with Ailang and invited him to enter Luoyang City with Chinese carriage. Then Yuan Shao set up a banquet in the palace hall to welcome Ailang and others, and showed great affection for Ailang.

Later that day, Ailang brought his family, Chen Gong and his personal soldiers back to his former residence in Luoyang to settle down. Zang Ba, Zhang Liao and others led the army and all the people to temporarily station outside the city. Yuan Shao's personnel had already provided enough wine, meat, food, and clothing.

When Ailang entered the mansion, he was surprised to find that the mansion was several times more luxurious and wider than his mansion in Chang'an. The vast houses were hidden among the green pines and cypresses. The gorgeous pavilions and towers and landscapes were perfectly combined. It was truly a scene step by step, making people linger.

The next morning, Zang Ba, Zhang Liao and others took their troops and all the people to Xingyang.

On Ailang's side, Yuan Shao was entertaining Ailang at three days and five days. Yuan Shao also rewarded Ailang with many beautiful women in gold, silver, silk, silk, and silk. Not long after, Ailang's mansion had already accumulated wealth and wine like mountains and beautiful women! Ailang was naturally overjoyed when he looked at these many beautiful women. Unfortunately, because of Mrs. Lu Bu, he didn't dare to go to Wushan with any beautiful women, and wanted to secretly taste the forbidden fruit, but he was afraid that he would be discovered by Mrs. Lu Bu later, so he could only watch it dryly, which made him dry and his emotions a little out of control.

On that day, Ai Lang came back from Yuan Shao’s mansion. Seeing Chen Gong coming, he smiled and said, “Sir, Yuan Shao is so enthusiastic, I feel a little embarrassed!”

Chen Gong asked with a smile: "Did Yuan Shao's small favors completely surrender the general? Speaking of which, Yuan Shao is just the position of a prefect, and the general is the Yulin Guard General of the court! How can he be qualified to control the general?"

Ailang smiled and waved his hand and said, "These positions are useless! These days, what are useful are territory and troops! Nowadays, Yuan Shao has occupied Luoyang, Jizhou, Qingzhou, and Bingzhou, with hundreds of thousands of troops, and his rule is very rich. His strength is unparalleled. Although he does not have the title of emperor, he already looks like an emperor!"

Chen Gong asked: "It seems that the general is willing to serve Yuan Shao?"

Ailang shook his head and said, "I want to conquer my own country! I see that others are not as happy as emperors!" Then he sighed and said depressedly: "But I want to be a useless person! There are only a few soldiers in my hand and there is no territory. What else can I do if I don't work for Yuan Shao for the time being?"
