Here is the mighty palace of Luo Yang. The imperial palace where the Han dynasty once held it's stronghold. The many years, 200 or so of Han glory. Now, the banner of Wei rules here. Led by the mighty Cao Cao.
The palace is of the strongest structure. Solid rock used to make this amazing hold. The walls have been painted and covered in robes, the banner of Wei hangs from every where in sight.
Here, you may see Lord Cao Cao. Visitors and generals alike are allowed no further than 50 paces from the throne. Step over this line and guards will have you surrounded in a second.....

When he entered the Palace, Lu Bu thought about what the guard said... Renowned for being a traitor, perhaps if he joined one such as Cao Cao, then he would never be trusted, he would always be watched closely by Friend and foe alike, however, he had come all this way to see Cao Cao, and he will not be prepared to travel all the way back, he slowley walked through the Palace, guards dotted everywhere, mostly spearmen and bowmen... I guess long range comes in handy for people such as Lu Bu. As soon as he was outside the throne room, he heard what the adviser said: 'Stay 50 paces from the throne', all that managed to do was get him more nervous, but proceed he did, as he had nothing to lose, he opened the door and hopefully stopped the whole 50 paces away, he went on one knee and put his right fist into his left hand, facing downward.
[Lu Bu] "Ahhh... Lord Cao Cao, having me serving you would increase the power of your forces, no? What do you say? Is there space for me in your Army?"
He says, trying not to make direct eye contact with Cao Cao.

Cao Cao looked up to see a man whom he feared. A man who could change the lands destiny. One man that could destroy hordes of enemies. That man was Fengxian.
Cao Cao didn;t know what to do, should he accept this renegade? Would he betray him like Liu Bei before him? But having a asset such as Lu Bu would certainly help. The choices were huge......
"Lu Bu, I remember last time you were in front of me, you were tied and begging for your life while Gao Shun said nothing....I could have you head on the floor with a click of my finger....however, I choose to spare you. How will i know if I can trust you?"

He heard this question from Cao Cao, not like he didn't expect it, even the guards knew that in the past Lu Bu had his fair share of betraying the ones that had given him so much, but times were changing, Lu Bu, after all his valuable men were killed or captured, knew it was time to stop acting like an imbecile, and fight for peace, yet of course no-one knew that's how Lu Bu now felt, not even Lu Ling Qi, back in Xia Pi...
[Lu Bu] "With all due respect, Lord Cao Cao, that was a long time ago, you can trust me now."

Dian Wei quickly halted infront of the palace and looked at its magnificent structure with a smile. Still he dismounted got his two halberds in each hand... He noticed the guards were all over, dotted about plus glaring at him, so he put the halberds on the strap attached to the saddle of the horse. Then he started to proceed to the castle doors. He pushed them open and walked into the hall... For a moment he cautiously scanned the room for anything, or anyone, nothing, not a peep until he heard a voice coming from a room... Whom he had heard before, the feeling of disbelief filled his body and he put on a shocked face, he thought... "It couldn't be! Fengxian!" Anyway he followed the voice to a room. He saw the back of the mighty warrior Lu Bu. Again his body just burst into disbelief, Fengxian, having to nerve to ask Lord Cao Cao for something. All of China knew of his treachery and tyranncial ways. Dian Wei still followed suit and made his way towards Lord Cao Cao. Wei also noticed archers and bowmen down the side of the hall. One voice exclaimed "Don't come closer than 50 paces of the mighty Lord." Dian Wei thought, "Fengxian must be 50 paces, I should stop beside him." So he did, and then bowed in the same stance as Bu and asked in his deep voice...
"Lord Cao Cao, I have travelled from Chen Liu to join your services! With all might, I shall fight for you my Lord, my life is in your hands.

(OOC, short post, in a hurry. Sorry. Ill try and be interesting though)
Cao Cao listened to the words of Lu Bu. So, had the man finally changed? Hmm, maybe there was some way he could prove it.....
"Hmm, for now Fengxian. I shall have you in my army, though you will have a fairly low position because of your previous deeds....however, I will give you a chance to prove your loyalty and advance in rank....."
Cao Cao then looked to the huge man who had abellowing voice that made Lu Bu look like a peasent. This mans shoulders barely fit into his armour...
"Rise good sir! Tell me your name please!A man with potential like that should never be ignored!"
(OOC, PM's coming your way with war council password)

Dian Wei nodded his head still looking down. He slowly rose and turned his gaze from the floor to the good Lord.
"Sorry my Lord, I should have introduced myself first, I am Dian Wei of Chen Liu! I have heard many tales of your victorys and brilliance. I thought, I must join him... I pondered around my town until I decided to become a officer in your magnigicent army... So I rode my white beautiful steed to Luo Yang. The journey was most peaceful, and now I'm in your presence, it feels extraordinary. Please good sir, let me join your wonderful army, again do what you want with me, I'm forever in your debt, I would die for you!"
