While Huang Chao was dealing with the noble families in Yangqu County, Ding Yuan, who was in Jinyang, had received the news and immediately summoned his civil and military officials to discuss the matter.

Sitting in the lobby, Ding Yuan said to everyone with a serious face: "Now we have received the news that the Yellow Turban Army has invaded Taiyuan County and has captured Yangqu County. Now it is very likely that they have sent troops to attack other places!"

At this time, Ding Yuan was full of worry and anxiety. He knew that the threat of the Yellow Turban Army was increasing day by day. If effective measures were not taken in time, the consequences would be disastrous. He frowned and glanced at the generals present, hoping to hear some constructive suggestions.

Now Ding Yuan is still very confident. It's just Yangqu County. As long as the Yellow Turban Army is defeated, it can be recaptured at any time.

So the current priority is to destroy the Yellow Turban Army, which is also the main content of Ding Yuan's summoning of his civil and military officials for discussion.

"Father, I think we can send troops directly. I will lead the cavalry and we will definitely be able to destroy the Yellow Turban Army!" Lu Bu spoke first.

Lu Bu stood up confidently and expressed his willingness to lead the cavalry to destroy the Yellow Turban Army.

He believed that his bravery and military talent were enough to deal with this war, but this overly simple and crude proposal made Ding Yuan a little dissatisfied.

Ding Yuan frowned and sighed in his heart, thinking that Lu Bu had been the chief clerk for a year but still hadn't changed his temperament.

Although Lu Bu was brave, he lacked strategy and political wisdom. He had limited ability to think about complex battles and strategies. Such a decision might bring more risks and uncertainties.

"Sir, I agree with Lu Zhubu's strategy. It's just the Yellow Turban Army. As long as Lu Zhubu takes action, it can be easily destroyed!"

The first person to stand up to support Lu Bu was Lu Bu's brother-in-law Wei Xu. He looked at Lu Bu with a flattering look on his face, as if he had seen the dawn of victory.

"I agree!"

Then Wei Xu's good friends Hou Cheng and Song Xian also stood up to support Lu Bu. They looked at each other, and a hint of cunning flashed in their eyes, as if they were expecting something.

This also made Ding Yuan more dissatisfied. He thought to himself: "Don't you idiots know how powerful the Yellow Turban Army is? Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun, and Wuhuan were defeated by the Yellow Turban Army one after another, but you are still so arrogant. This is because the news of the destruction of Goguryeo, the Three Han, and Buyeo countries has not been transmitted to the Central Plains, otherwise I would only choose to defend at this moment."

However, at this time, Cao Xing said: "Sir, I think that Lu Zhubu can lead the Bingzhou cavalry as the vanguard, and you personally lead the Bingzhou army to go out, and the Yellow Turban Army will be destroyed!"

Cao Xing is now one of Ding Yuan's confidants, so he naturally stands on Ding Yuan's side. He knows the relationship between Ding Yuan and Lu Bu very well, so he made this suggestion specifically, which not only satisfied Lu Bu's desire to send troops, but also ensured that Ding Yuan could control the situation.

Ding Yuan couldn't help but move when he heard Cao Xing's words.

He thought that if he led the Bingzhou army to fight in person, and with a fierce general like Lu Bu charging in front, it might be possible to defeat the Yellow Turban Army.

Thinking of this, Ding Yuan nodded and agreed: "Then it's settled. Fengxian my son, you will be the vanguard, Wei Xu, Hou Cheng, and Song Xian will be your deputy generals, and lead my 10,000 Bingzhou cavalry to set off first!"

"Yes, foster father!" Lu Bu immediately accepted the order, as if he was afraid that Ding Yuan would go back on his word.

"Yes, sir!" Wei Xu, Hou Cheng, and Song Xian also accepted the order immediately. Following Lu Bu was definitely better than following Ding Yuan.

The Huns were beaten and ran around everywhere, not to mention the Yellow Turban Army, which was just a group of rebels.

Just when Lu Bu led 10,000 Bingzhou cavalry and Wei Xu, Hou Cheng, and Song Xian out of the city, the bad people in the city also passed the information through pigeons.

And in order to prevent accidents, the bad people directly released more than a dozen pigeons.

After all, they were not sure if anyone would specifically watch the pigeons. If only one or two were shot down, wouldn't it be a wasted trip? So releasing a few more pigeons was also a safe approach.

At this time, Zhang Fu had already arrived near Yangqu County with his army, but they did not enter the city, but set up camp outside the city.

After all, Yangqu County was now empty, and Zhang Fu was not in a hurry.

Not long after the family in Yangqu County left, Guo Jia received the information. After reading it, Guo Jia's face changed and he immediately went to find Zhang Fu.

He knew that this news was very important to Zhang Fu and he must let him know as soon as possible.

Zhang Fu was studying the map in the tent. Seeing Guo Jia rushing over, his heart sank.

He knew that if he didn'tIf there was something important, Guo Jia would not be in such a hurry.

After entering the tent, Guo Jia reported to Zhang Fu with a serious look: "My lord, I just received news that Ding Yuan arranged Bingzhou's chief clerk Lu Bu as the vanguard, and appointed Wei Xu, Hou Cheng, and Song Xian as deputy generals. He is now leading 10,000 Bingzhou cavalry to us!"

Zhang Fu was not panicked at all when he heard this. He turned his head to look at the map, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "It seems that Ding Yuan wants to test our strength. However, although the 10,000 Bingzhou cavalry he sent are elite, we also have 50,000 troops here, and there are 20,000 cavalry alone. Why should we be afraid of the mere 10,000 Bingzhou cavalry."

Guo Jia nodded, indicating that he agreed with Zhang Fu's opinion. He went on to say, "My Lord, since Ding Yuan has sent out 10,000 Bingzhou cavalry as the vanguard, his main force should soon catch up. We need to be prepared for the possible battle."

Zhang Fu nodded, then looked at Guo Jia and asked, "Feng Xiao, do you have any good suggestions?"

Guo Jia thought for a while, then replied, "My Lord, I think we can send a small force to harass the enemy and disrupt their deployment. When they are exhausted, we will launch a large-scale attack. In this way, we can win at the lowest cost."

Zhang Fu listened to Guo Jia's words, smiled and nodded in agreement. He turned his head to look at Li Cunxiao, Gao Chong and Yang Zaixing behind him, and suddenly thought of a plan in his mind.

Perhaps this plan can be started in advance...

"I don't know if your mentality will be stable at that time, Lu Bu, but it may be a good thing to let you lose your arrogance in the early stage, as long as you can come out of it!" Zhang Fu said secretly.

If Lu Bu can't get out, that would be Lu Bu's fate. Anyway, there are four peerless generals on his side, including myself, and they can definitely defeat Lu Bu now.
