Lü Bu, familiar name Fengxian, served as a bodyguard and commander under Ding Yuan, who adopted him as a young man. After the Yellow Scarves’ rebellion ended with the death of the three Zhang brothers, Dong Zhuo took control of the Han Court and invited all the Lords that fought against the Turbans to Wenming garden. There he noticed a large man who accompanied Ding Yuan.
Dong Zhuo asked his advisor Li Ru about him. “That is Lü Bu, the adopted son of Ding Yuan. You must keep out of his way my lord.” Heeding this advice, Dong Zhuo hid himself so that he would not been seen by Lü Bu.
The next day, Ding Yuan’s armies assembled outside to fight with Dong Zhuo’s troops. Lü Bu rode at the forefront of Ding Yuan’s army. His hair was arranged under a beautiful headdress of gold, and he had donned an embroidered thousand-flower fighting robe, a pheasant tailed helmet, a breastplate, and around his waste was a gleaming jade belt with a lion’s head clasp. With his spear set, he rode next to his master Ding Yuan.
Lü Bu rode towards Dong Zhuo’s army as soon as the battle started. Dong Zhuo turned his army around and fled. The battle was a great victory for Ding Yuan whose army slew many soldiers during the pursuit.
Dong Zhuo retired ten miles further and set up camp, calling his officers to council. Dong Zhuo was impressed by Lü Bu and said, “This Lü Bu is a marvel, if he only were on my side, I would defy the whole world!” Dong Zhuo’s follower Li Su came up with a plan to persuade Lü Bu to join Dong Zhuo’s army. He suggested using the Red Hare, a fine bred horse, as a bribe for Lü Bu.
Thus, it was decided and Dong Zhuo sent Li Su to Lü Bu, along with a thousand ounces of gold, ten strings of beautiful pearls, a jewelled belt, and the Red Hare.
Li Su arrived at Lü Bu’s camp and requested to see him. After exchanging formalities, Li Su told Lü Bu that he had brought a marvellous gift with him. Lü Bu bade the guards to bring out the gift. A poem describes the Red Hare:
“Mark ye the steed swift and tireless,
see the dust, spurned by his hoofs, rising in clouds;
Now it swims the river, anon climbs the hill,
rending the purple mist asunder;
Scornful it breaks the rein,
shakes from its head the jewelled bridle;
It is as a fiery dragon descending from the highest heaven.”
Lü Bu was delighted to receive such a gracious gift and proceed to inquire about Li Su’s intentions. “What return can I hope to make for such a fine creature?” Lü Bu asked. “What return could I hope for?” replied Li Su. “I came to you out of a sense of what is right.”
After sharing many glasses of wine, Li Su tried to persuade Lü Bu with deceptive words and idle flattery. The subject of Ding Yuan soon came up, and Li Su exclaimed. “Sir, your talent is higher than the heavens, deeper than the seas. Who in the entire world does not bow before your name? Fame, riches, and honours are yours for the taking. And you say you can do no better than remain a subordinate! The clever bird chooses the branch whereon to perch; the wise servant selects the master to serve. Seize the chance when it comes, for repentance ever comes too late.”
Li Su continued to praise Dong Zhuo and offered Lü Bu the gifts of gold, pearls, and jewels. Lü Bu pondered Li Su’s requests and offered to kill Ding Yuan and bring his soldiers over to Dong Zhuo, as a way of making himself useful to his new master. Li Su was overjoyed with his decision and quickly departed.
