"Impersonating the Black Mountain Army to make trouble?" Lu Bu looked at Ding Yuan in front of him with a puzzled look, obviously not understanding why he gave him such an order.

Ding Yuan responded with helpless and heartbroken look: "Fengxian, the general recruited me to lead troops into Luoyang, to deal with the prince-consort Han Tao."

"You once led troops to Liangzhou to help Han Tao quell the rebellion. He and I are old friends, so how can I bear to be enemies with him?"

"But if I don't go, it's equivalent to disobeying the general's order. I'm really helpless and have to come up with this bad idea."

"As long as you pretend to be the Black Mountain Army, make things worse and attract the attention of the court, I can write to the court, saying that Bingzhou was in a rebellion and could not divide his troops to Luoyang. This will avoid a dilemma."

After listening to Ding Yuan's explanation, Lu Bu believed it and showed a sudden enlightenment.

He and Han Tao have always had letters, so naturally they knew that Han Tao had been recruited as the son-in-law and became the lieutenant of the new army in Xiyuan, and began to confront He Jin head-on.

"The lord is thoughtful and doing so can indeed avoid the embarrassing situation of being an enemy of the prince-consort. Lu Bu accepts the order." Lu Bu stood up and accepted Ding Yuan's arrangement.

Hearing that Lu Bu was the first to think that he did not want to be an enemy of Han Tao, a fleeting unhappiness flashed across Ding Yuan's face, but he immediately smiled and concealed the past.

"The best thing Fengxian can understand my hard work, so I'll have to take you with you three thousand soldiers and set off immediately, arrive at the designated location, disguise as a Black Mountain army, and try to create momentum."

"Remember, the more you do your drama, the better. Burn, kill, loot, and all these must be done. The more the movement, the better, so that the court can pay attention to it." Ding Yuan explained to Lu Bu.

"Don't worry, lord, Lu Bu will make some arrangements when he goes home and lead the army immediately." Lu Bu bowed out after saluting Ding Yuan.

Lu Bu left the governor's mansion and immediately returned to his residence, packed his luggage and set off.

"Fengxian, where are you going?" Seeing Lu Bu hurrying to prepare for his trip, Ren Hongchang hurried forward and asked with concern while helping him organize.

Lu Bu explained to Ren Hongchang the task assigned by Ding Yuan.

After hearing this, Ren Hongchang frowned slightly and said, "This is a crime of posing as the Black Mountain Army to burn, kill, loot, and is equivalent to rebellion. How could Governor Ding arrange for you to do such a thing?"

"The lord doesn't want to lead troops into Luoyang, so he has to make this bad decision. As a subordinate, I should be worried about the lord." Lu Bu excused Ding Yuan.

"Then are you really going to burn, kill, loot? Do you really want to attack those innocent Guizhou leaders?" Ren Hongchang asked with some helplessness.

"Eunuch Ding asked me to make things worse as much as possible. The emperor's life should not be violated. Naturally, I must obey the orders. I can only try my best to restrain my subordinates and not to hurt people's lives." Lu Bu explained to his wife helplessly.

Ren Hongchang also knew that Lu Bu was his position and could only follow the orders. He nodded in understanding: "It's good that you have a sense of your heart. When you go out, take good care of yourself, and I'll wait for you to come back."

Ren Hongchang sorted out Lu Bu's luggage and sent him to his doorstep.

Lu Bufei flew on a Red Tu horse, holding a Fang Tian Hua Ji, bowed to Ren Hongchang goodbye, and then rode his horse forward.

Ren Hongchang looked at Lu Bu disappearing from sight with a worried look...

...

There is a tavern in a not-so-broad alley in Luoyang City.

Because they are in the alley, there are no guests in the tavern. Only at a table in the corner were a man wearing a hat drinking alone.

A man in a cloth robes and also wearing a hat walked into the tavern.

He looked around and saw the man in the corner, walked straight over and sat down in front of him.

The man who was drinking alone looked up slightly and looked at the person who had just walked in, and he was Han Tao who was disguised as a disguise.

Han Tao looked at the person in front of him but didn't say anything. He reached out and dipped his hand in the wine glass in front of him, and wrote the word "Tao" on the table to show his identity.

The man didn't speak, and also dipped his fingers in wine and wrote the word "天", and he was Liu Biao and Liu Jingsheng, one of the eight masters.

Han Tao arranged for the embroidered emblem and the shadow messenger to investigate Liu Biao in turn and found that although he was doing things under He Jin, he was actually not happy.

So he decided to instigate him personally, arrange someone to secretly contact Liu Biao, and make an appointment here to discuss secretly.

"If the prince-in-law wants to meet Liu Biao, he just needs to give an order. Why should he be so secretive and ask me to meet here?" Liu Biao was very confused about Han Tao's arrangement.

"If I ask Brother Jingsheng to meet directly and He Jin sees me, wouldn't I cause trouble for my brother?" Han Tao responded calmly.

Only then did Liu Biao realize that Han Tao’s arrangement was for his consideration.

"Thank you, the prince consort for understanding. I wonder what happened to the prince consort looking for Liu Biao?" Liu Biao asked Han Tao straight to the point.

"Brother Jingsheng, a relative of the Han Dynasty and a talented scholar, has been in the General's Mansion and is a companion to such a rough person every day. I'm afraid he will not be happy every day, right?"

Han Tao only covered up too much and directly pointed out Liu Biao's pain point.

Liu Biao sighed helplessly and expressed his helplessness: "I was wanted for the party and bribery disaster. Fortunately, I was summoned by He Jin, so I was able to re-enter the officialdom."

"If I don't commit myself to the general and can only wander in the countryside, this move is also out of helplessness."

"He Jin is now arrogant and domineering, and has the intention of forming a clique for personal gain, and has the intention of being unjust. Your Majesty is willing to reduce He Jin's military power, eliminate foreign relatives, and eunuchs control the government affairs, revitalize the court, and make the Han Dynasty revival."

"Brother Jingsheng is a wise man. Can you give up the dark and turn to the light and be loyal to the emperor?" Han Tao asked Liu Biao directly.

"I am a relative of the Han Dynasty, but I have no way to serve the country. Now that the prince-consorts are fighting each other, how dare I not serve you? Liu Biao is willing to follow the prince-consorts to revive the Han Dynasty." Liu Biao immediately expressed his loyalty to Han Tao.

"Brother Jingsheng really knows the general, but you don't have to rush to our mansion now, so you can continue to live in the General's mansion for the time being." Han Tao explained to Liu Biao.

"I understand that I will report He Jin's arrangements and all the changes will be true to the prince-consort."

Liu Biao was also a smart person, and immediately understood the purpose of Han Tao staying him as an undercover agent in the General's Mansion.

"Then I'll have Brother Jingsheng. Although this place is hidden, it's not suitable to stay for a long time. I will arrange for someone to secretly inform you of it in the future. Brother Jingsheng can return quickly to avoid arousing doubts."

After hearing Han Tao's advice, Liu Biao stood up and did not salute, and quickly walked out of the tavern and left.

Han Tao waited until Liu Biao left, but he did not dare to stay for a long time. He quickly left the tavern and returned to the Prince's Mansion.

Han Tao changed into his regular clothes and came to the main hall of the Prince Consort's Mansion. Xun's uncle and nephew were already waiting for him.

"Lord, Liu Yu, Liu Yan, and Liu Dai in Youzhou, have sent people to send secret letters, expressing their loyalty to the Han Dynasty and secretly helping the lord!" Xun Yu immediately reported to Han Tao.

Han Tao nodded happily. Having obtained the support of these Han clan relatives, he had an additional chance of success against He Jin.

"It's so good, did Liu Bei find it?" Han Tao was still very concerned about Liu, Guan and Zhang.

"It's still being searched, there's no news yet." Xun You hurriedly responded.

Han Tao nodded slightly. In this era of underdeveloped information, it is indeed not easy to find someone with anonymity, and it takes enough time.

At this moment, Han Chong hurried in from outside and said to Han Tao solemnly: "Brother, the General's Mansion has sent someone to ask you to come and discuss matters."

He Jin came to me?

Han Tao became a little nervous. I had just met Liu Biao, so He Jin came to make an appointment with me. Did he discover the secret of our contact?
