Wang Ding did not go to Lu Bu for the next few days.
But the contact with Gao Shun became more frequent.
Wang Ding has revealed some plans to Gao Shun.
I hope Gao Shun will mobilize the imperial army and cooperate with him.
Compared to Lu Bu, Gao Shun did not hesitate. He belonged to the Forbidden Army, but was not loyal to Dong Zhuo.
Gao Shun had long been unable to tolerate Dong Zhuo's actions and the Xiliang Army.
However, he was just a captain in the Forbidden Army. He was unknown and could not even see Dong Zhuo's face.
If he could kill Dong Zhuo, he would definitely do so without hesitation.
It's just that Gao Shun is now worried that his influence in the Forbidden Army is too small.
The current commander of the Forbidden Army is Dong Min, Dong Zhuo's younger brother.
Tens of thousands of forbidden troops are all required to obey the orders of guard Dong Min.
The number of forbidden troops that Gao Shun can influence is only a few hundred people.
"When the time comes, is there a way to kill Dong Min?" Wang Ding asked.
Before that, Wang Ding had ignored Dong Min.
I just thought that inciting rebellion against Lu Bu would be enough.
Although the Forbidden Army is not as good as the Xiliang Army, it is still a huge force.
Don't let him just kill Dong Zhuo, but he himself will be killed by Dong Min immediately.
Gao Shundao: "I know that there is another person in the Forbidden Army named Zhang Liao, whose courtesy name is Wenyuan. He may be able to win over him."
Wang Ding's eyes lit up and he said, "Zhang Liao is also in the Forbidden Army?"
Gao Shun asked doubtfully: "Ji An also knows this person?"
Wang Dingdao: "I heard a little bit before that this person has extraordinary martial arts skills and is quite strategic."
Gao Shun nodded: "It's not about martial arts or strategy, I'm not like that."
Wang Dingdao: "If there is such a person to help me, there is no need to worry about failure."
Wang Ding really didn't know that Zhang Liao also served in the Forbidden Army. If he had known, he would have asked Gao Shun to recommend him.
Wang Ding didn't know much about Zhang Liao's early years. The Zhang Liao he remembered was following Lu Bu at first.
Wang Dingdao: "Do Zhang Liao and Lu Bu know each other?"
Gao Shun said: "We should be acquaintances, but we have never seen the two of them moving around."
Among the Forbidden Army, the only one Gao Shun admired was Zhang Liao, so he also had some understanding of Zhang Liao.
Zhang Liao was also from Bingzhou, and he followed Ding Yuan at first. However, he was sent to Chang'an by Ding Yuan a long time ago to follow the then general He Jin. He was not Dong Zhuo who joined Lu Bu.
However, after He Jin's death, the entire Forbidden Army was taken over by Dong Zhuo, and Zhang Liao followed Dong Zhuo.
Because he was valued by Ding Yuan and He Jin, Zhang Liao's status and reputation in the Forbidden Army were not comparable to that of Gao Shun, who had no backing.
And Zhang Liao has outstanding abilities. He served as a general in the Forbidden Army for several years. Before Dong Min was promoted to the commander of the Forbidden Army by Dong Zhuo, Zhang Liao's influence in the Forbidden Army was greater than Dong Min.
"Brother, I leave this matter to you." Wang Ding said.
Dong Zhuo is not in Chang'an, and there is no one to care about Wang Ding's jumping up and down.
After all, in the eyes of outsiders, Wang Ding is now Dong Zhuo's minion.
It's just that his minions are really not human inside and out.
Those who hate Dong Zhuo do not want to have contact with him.
Dong Zhuo's real confidants, the generals of the Xiliang Army, also hated Wang Ding and regarded Wang Ding as a flatterer.
Moreover, these people are very xenophobic. If they are not from the Xiliang Army, they cannot integrate into their circle.
Lu Bu can't do it. The Bingzhou troops that Lu Bu brought with him are now also being rejected and have no status in the army.
A few days later, Gao Shun sent someone to invite Wang Ding.
When Wang Ding arrived, there was another person in the room.
Gao Shun said: "Ji An, this is General Zhang Wenyuan."
Wang Ding cupped his fists and said: "Wang Ding, the captain of the city gate, has met General Zhang."
Zhang Liao is not very old now, only in his twenties.
Zhang Liao looked very calm and did not like to laugh much. He said: "I heard from Bo Ping that you want to kill the national traitors?"
Zhang Liao did not mention Dong Zhuo's name. The traitor could be Dong Zhuo or someone else.
Wang Ding nodded: "Please help me, general."
Zhang Liao is not a foolishly loyal person, and Wang Ding does not believe that he will be loyal to Dong Zhuo wholeheartedly.
Although they are now subordinate to Dong Zhuo, whether it is Gao Shun or Zhang Liao, they have always followed orders.
Dong Zhuo was not kind to them. He didn't even know there were two of them.
Zhang Liao said: "You are just a city gate captain, how can you be sure?"
Zhang Liao is willing to come to see Wang Ding today, which actually shows his intention.
Otherwise, there is no need to come at all, just let someone win Gao Shun.
After that, Gao Shun was escorted to see Dong Zhuo, and he would naturally be promoted to a higher rank.
But he didn't.
If it were someone else, Wang Ding might still wonder if the other party wanted to see Wang Ding's bid first.
But the person in front of him was Zhang Liao, and Wang Ding believed in his character.
Just a name is enough to make people trust and willing to pay attention to it.
If Wang Ding can't speak directly to people like Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, then he has no one he can trust.
Wang Dingdao: "Thief Dong now has great trust in me and my father."
"I am the captain of the city gate. As long as Thief Dong comes in, I can ensure that he cannot get out."
"If the general can control the imperial army and the Xiliang army is outside the city, why worry about not being able to kill them."
Zhang Liao said: "With Lu Bu here, even if there are thousands of troops, it will be difficult to kill him."
When Zhang Liao was in Bingzhou, he saw Lu Bu's style.
When he was young, Lu Bu was his idol.
However, Lu Bu's behavior over the years made Zhang Liao very disappointed, so he never contacted Lu Bu.
Wang Ding said: "There is no need to worry, I have a way to convince Lu Bu."
Zhang Liao said: "Lü Bu worships Dong Dong as his adoptive father. How can you convince him?"
Although Zhang Liao has known Lu Bu for a long time, Zhang Liao is still far behind Wang Ding in terms of understanding of Lu Bu.
Zhang Liao only knew what Lu Bu had done before, but Wang Ding also knew about Lu Bu's future.
Wang Dingdao: "General, do you think Dong Zhuo and Ding Yuan are different? In the past, Lu Bu could kill Ding Yuan, but today he can kill Dong Zhuo."
Zhang Liao was silent.
He hoped that Lu Bu could kill Dong Zhuo, but he didn't want to see it.
Killing Ding Yuan has already brought a stigma to Lu Bu. If he kills Dong Zhuo again, Lu Bu will probably be infamy for thousands of years.
After all, Lu Bu was the flying general in his heart. He didn't want to see Lu Bu bear such a bad reputation.
Wang Ding, however, did not understand Zhang Liao's conflicting feelings.
He asked: "Could the general have killed Dong Min?"
Zhang Liao nodded. Zhang Liao never paid attention to the wine bag and rice bag.
He also has his own prestige among the Forbidden Army. By killing Dong Min, he can control at least half of the Forbidden Army, not just all of it.
Zhang Liao said: "I want to meet Lu Bu."
Wang Ding nodded.
He is not afraid of Zhang Liao betraying him, and he can just ask Zhang Liao to talk to Lu Bu so that Lu Bu can make up his mind.
They don’t need to be afraid of failure at all.
Wang Ding, Zhang Liao and Lu Bu, if they join forces, Dong Zhuo will definitely live or die.
As long as Dong Zhuo enters Chang'an City again, he will be unable to escape.
