at the same time.

Tensions were high beneath the walls of Jinyang.

Ding Yuan, accompanied by Lü Bu and Zhang Yang, stood on the city wall, their expressions tense.

Dong Zhuo, Niu Fu, Li Ru, and the four generals Li Jue, Guo Si, Zhang Ji, and Fan Chou, with 10,000 troops, surrounded Jinyang and challenged the enemy outside the city.

It turned out that when Dong Zhuo was about to enter the city that day, something happened in Jinyang.

Governor Zhang Yi took money and women from the Right Grand Commandant of the Xiongnu but did nothing to deceive the Xiongnu.

Moreover, it just so happened that the wolf guards under the command of the Right Grand Commandant went to eavesdrop on Zhang Yi and Ding Yuan's conversation and learned the shocking news that Qiang Qu was dead and that the 50,000 Xiongnu troops outside Shanwu City had been wiped out.

The wolf guard immediately went back to inform the Right Grand Commandant.

The Right Grand Commandant's expression changed drastically, and he became extremely anxious.

After calming down, I decided to leave Jinyang as soon as possible and return to Meiji.

At this moment, they were unaware that the Left Grand Commandant was dead and that Meiji was already a scorched wasteland.

He had the exit permit issued by Zhang Yi, so his exit from the pass was naturally unimpeded.

However, he could not tolerate being tricked by Zhang Yi, so he sent ten wolf guards to assassinate Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi was killed, Ding Yuan took over the governor's office, the Wolf Guard was wiped out, and the Right Grand Commandant escaped.

When Dong Zhuo arrived in Jinyang with his troops, Ding Yuan, dissatisfied with his behavior, did not come to greet him.

The two clashed, and Lü Bu stepped forward. Dong Zhuo, fearing Lü Bu's bravery, slunk away.

After returning home, Dong Zhuo became increasingly angry.

He was already the Left General of the Northern Expedition, which put him at the same level as the three current Generals of the Central Army: Lu Zhi, the General of the Northern Expedition; Huangfu Song, the General of the Left Expedition; and Zhu Jun, the General of the Right Expedition.

It should be noted that only captains usually command troops.

This Lieutenant General was a high-ranking military officer during wartime; to put it simply, he was a temporary army group commander.

Dong Zhuo's General of the Left in Pingbei was equivalent to the highest military commander appointed by He Jin's General's Office to be in charge of the war in the Bingzhou area.

However, he did not expect to be slighted and rude by Ding Yuan, an official in the Bingzhou governor's office, in Jinyang.

"If it weren't for the general wielding the halberd beside Ding Yuan, I would have drawn my sword and killed him just now," Dong Zhuo said viciously.

However, he was still wary of Lü Bu's appearance.

If Ding Yuan had given the order at that time, and Lü Bu had attacked him, Dong Zhuo would certainly not have been able to withstand it.

Just as Dong Zhuo was sighing, someone came to report that Niu Fu was arriving with a large army.

"Once Baiye's troops arrive, our army will be strong and powerful. I will make Ding Yuan kneel down to welcome me into the city."

Dong Zhuo was overjoyed upon hearing this.

Before long, Niu Fu had gathered his troops and brought the Four Heavenly Kings to see Dong Zhuo.

"What? This Ding Yuan is so ungrateful, how dare he be so disrespectful to his father-in-law! I will muster my troops and storm into the city to bring him to justice."

When Niu Fu heard that Dong Zhuo had been treated so badly by Ding Yuan, he was furious.

He immediately led three thousand soldiers, along with four generals, to escort Dong Zhuo to the walls of Jinyang.

Thus, the scene of Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo's armies facing off came about.

"Ding Yuan, you scoundrel! My army has arrived! Why don't you get out here right now, kneel down, and apologize to my father-in-law?!"

When Niu Fu saw Ding Yuan on the city wall, he spurred his horse over, pointed at Ding Yuan, and shouted loudly.

"How dare you insult my godfather! You're asking for death!"

When Lü Bu saw Niu Fu standing arrogantly and swaggering below the city, he became furious and shouted back.

"Ha, you little rascal, so it was you who scared my father-in-law earlier, wasn't it?"

"You look all respectable, but if you've got the guts, stop spouting nonsense on the city wall and come out for a one-on-one fight!"

Niu Fu shouted provocatively.

"Hey, damn it, you actually want to fight me one-on-one? You're asking for trouble?"

Upon hearing this, Lü Bu flew into a rage. "Father, let me out of the city. I want to teach this bastard a lesson."

Ding Yuan, however, didn't take it seriously, saying, "Let them curse all they want. They'll go back when they're tired of cursing. I don't believe they'd dare attack the city again. That would be tantamount to rebellion, and I doubt Dong Zhuo would have the guts!"

To everyone's surprise, Niu Fu shouted even louder: "Haha, you guys are obviously spineless cowards, so weak!"

He immediately ordered the soldiers to pull down their pants, urinate towards the city wall, and ejaculate high into the air.

"See? We have lots of cows here, unlike your tiny little chopsticks! Hahaha!"

Niu Fu's insults left Dong Zhuo and Li Ru dumbfounded.

Who would have thought that this beef tripe was actually a real talent!

Oh dear!

"This is intolerable! This is intolerable!"

How can a man be mocked for having a small penis?

Lu Bu's eyes were bloodshot as he slammed his fist into the city wall, yelling, "This is outrageous!"

Ding Yuan still refused to let him go into battle, which made Lü Bu's chest heave with anger.

Zhang Yang said from the side, "Jianyang, the governor has just died, and Bingzhou is in a critical situation. As the governor's right-hand men, we must take control of the situation and capture the Xiongnu who killed the governor."

"The arrival of Dong Zhuo, the Left General of the Northern Expedition, with his troops must be because the Xiongnu people outside the pass have caused a great disturbance, which has attracted the attention of the court."

"He should be using his troops at Yanmen Pass. If he gets involved in the governor's murder, it will only put us at a disadvantage."

"Uncle Zhi, what do you mean by this?" Ding Yuan asked.

Zhang Yang said, "We must report the death of Governor Zhang to the court as soon as possible, before Dong Zhuo does, and also to General He."

"Improve your position as Governor of Bingzhou in Jianyang as soon as possible."

"In short, we can't let Dong Zhuo get involved in the affairs of Bingzhou! We must make him back down and leave Jinyang."

Upon hearing Zhang Yang's analysis, Ding Yuan's eyes lit up: "That's right, I need to send someone to Luoyang to report immediately!"

"But now Dong Zhuo's troops have surrounded the city, how can the messenger get out?"
