The moon rises on the branches, and the stars are multiplied.

Lu Bu walked out of the county government and returned to the camp where he was stationed. He sat alone in the tent for half an hour, still feeling bored, so he went out of the tent and chose a secluded place to breathe and meditate.

The evening breeze in summer is the coolest, blowing on the face, the slightest coolness pours into the whole body, so comfortable that the pores of the whole body can't help but open.

The breeze was blowing, and the moonlight sprinkled on the branches and leaves of the trees reflected a few strands of silver through the gaps. The shadows of the pitch-black leaves danced in the wind, swaying slightly on the ground, and the land was mottled.

Lu Bu had no intention of admiring this beautiful night scene, he thought in his heart that in two days, those tens of thousands of captives would die here.

For the extremely vicious Xianbei people, Lu Bu dared to be ruthless, but he wanted to kill these defenseless poor people......

So the only thing to be thankful for is that Huangfu Song did not choose to let him lead the troops to carry out the execution.

"Why is the general sullen here?"

A few crows flew by, and a clear voice came from behind them.

Lu Bu turned his head, and he stood behind him with his hands together, with a smile on his face.

In the battle of the water, Lu Bu made a great contribution, not only completed the arranged tasks properly, but also captured the Daqu Shuai in Yingchuan County across the water, which was enough to make him take a small step up.

Therefore, in the eyes of Xi Ce, he should be happy to have made such a great achievement.

"What is there to be happy about." Lu Bu laughed at himself, among the two thousand horsemen who went south this time, Zhang Liao was still young, Song Xian Cao Xing and others were a bunch of reckless men, who would only go into battle to kill the enemy, and they would not understand many things when they said it.

It seems that the only thing that can talk is to play.

Lu Bu moved his position to the side, and the joke was not polite, he stepped forward two times and sat down.

The two sat next to each other, but they didn't talk or speak, as if they had their own agendas.

One looked at the pitch black distance and was stunned, and the other folded his hands and looked at the shadows of the trees swaying on the ground.

"Sir, save them."

After being silent for a long time, Lu Bu couldn't help but speak. This omnipotent gentleman in his eyes became the last straw.

In the surrendered Yellow Turban Army, the youngest soldiers were still skinny little dolls, and a large number of them could be caught under the age of ten. Even if Wu Anjun killed 400,000 soldiers of Zhao State back then, he also spared those enlisted children under the age of fourteen.

But the current family bureaucrats are all holding the indifferent mentality of preferring to kill by mistake rather than slip through the net, which is really chilling.

With the clever mind of the joke, it is not difficult to guess who Lu Bu refers to by "they".

"General, do you really treat me as a Da Luo Immortal?"

Xi Ce shrugged his shoulders helplessly, and then said indifferently: "Individuals have their own lives, this kind of thing can't be forced, and there are no unjust dead souls in any dynasty and generation." ”

"Sir, you and I are from poor backgrounds, so it should be understandable that these people are not trying to oppose the imperial court, but are really moth thieves who are forced to make a living and have no way out, they are innocent." Lu Bu's face was calm, and he retorted.

"Innocent? Ask those officials of the family, do they believe your so-called innocence! Xi Ce sneered, he had long been accustomed to the hypocritical faces of those families, "The Han population is tens of thousands, don't say that there are tens of thousands of moth thieves, but kill him hundreds of thousands, so what?" ”

It is good to have a forgiving heart, but once it is overdone, it is stupid.

If you want to achieve hegemony, you must not only rely on the city government that is invisible, but also have a great vision and a decisive killing decision when it is time to shoot, rather than the benevolence of a bullshit woman.

Even if you kill some innocents by mistake, it's nothing.

If you want to become a human being, you should abandon it together.

The four words of loneliness are not in vain.

Lu Bu was speechless when he heard this, and only sighed for a long time, his tone a little weak: "Sir, you say me...... Is it wrong? ”

A gray-spotted toad was fat and lay lazily on the ground, puffing out its cheeks and croaking.

Sticking his hand out of his cuff, he picked up a branch and poked it in the back of the toad, "Then you try to climb forward and climb to a position where you can reverse this decision." ”

Lu Bu didn't say anything more, looking at the loss on his handsome face, Xi Ce sighed leisurely in his heart, and said angrily: "You just said that Cao Mengde failed to defraud Yang Zhai, was found out, and was hit by an arrow?" ”

Lu Bu nodded, when he was in the county government in the afternoon, Xiahou Tang had already made a comprehensive report to Huangfu Song on Cao Cao's defeat in Yangzhai.

Many people present tasted the sweetness of victory, and they all instigated Huangfu Song to take advantage of the high morale to recapture Yang Zhai in one go.

These people said it easily, Huangfu Song is not a fool.

As a county, Yangzhai City has a very thick defense, and there is a wide moat in front of the city, as long as the moths and thieves in the city defend it, with these soldiers and horses in his hands, it is estimated that he will have to take the lives of half of the soldiers to fill it.

The moth thieves who rebelled in the entire Han Dynasty were not only in Yingchuan.

Therefore, Huangfu Song will never take this last resort.

"Maybe I have a way to save these people's lives."

Listening to Xi Ce's slow plan, a trace of relief appeared on Lu Bu's face, and he knew that Xi Ce would never let him down.

After listening, Lu Bu got up and summoned Chi Su and rushed towards the city.

Coming to the door of a closed mansion, Lu Bu dismounted and walked up the steps, reached out and knocked on the door.

After a while, the door of the vermilion lacquer opened half a crack, and a servant's head poked out from it, he glanced at Lu Bu, and saw that he did not look like a rich and noble family, and the expression on his face was quite impatient.

"I'm tired of reporting, Lu Bu asks to see General Zuo Zhonglang."

This mansion is the temporary residence of Huangfu Song.

"The general has already slept, if there is anything, I will report back tomorrow." The doorman didn't ask much, and directly vetoed it.

"It's about tens of thousands of lives, and I ask my brother to be accommodating."

Lu Bu outside the door tried his best to be humble, but the more he was like this, the more the doorman didn't take him seriously, and shook his hand at him impatiently: "You can't listen to the words behind your ears, right, go quickly, don't be an eyesore here." ”

If you don't eat soft, then don't blame Lu for offending.

Lu Bu raised his eyebrows, stretched out his hand to push the door, and the servant behind the door could not fight Lu Bu's strength, his body couldn't help but fall backwards, and he fell heavily to the ground, crying out in pain.

Upon learning that someone had broken into the mansion, the night guards from all over the place quickly gathered at the door.

Lu Bu entered the mansion all the way, and the guards who came to block the road had some skills, but if they wanted to capture him alive, they were still a lot behind.

In just half a burnt of incense, more than a dozen good hands were thrown to the ground.

The battle in the palace was so loud and quiet that he soon woke up the sleeping Huangfu Song, who only wore a sleeping red twilight shirt, put on his shoes, and walked out of the house quickly.

When he saw the face of the person who broke into the mansion, Huangfu Song shouted to stop and told the guards to retreat.

Afterwards, Huangfu Song took Lu Bu to the study and asked him with a tiger face: "It's so late, don't go to bed, what are you doing here?" ”

If he hadn't been more optimistic about Lu Bu, he would have had people drag him down and punish him with twenty military sticks.

Do you think it's fun to break into the general's mansion at night?

"The last general has the courage to ask the general to spare the lives of these prisoners." Lu Bu got straight to the point, and his tone was solemn.

Huangfu Song obviously didn't expect Lu Bu to come to this matter, and after being slightly stunned, he said: "Isn't it already a conclusion on this issue?" ”

Lu Bu told Huangfu Song all the plans he had talked about.

After listening to this, Zuo Zhonglang showed an extremely complicated look in his eyes.

After a long time, he exhaled, patted Lu Bu's left shoulder, shook his head and said: "Fengxian, it's good that you can have this kind of thought, but I have been a courtier for nearly twenty years, from the death of the first emperor, to the accession of His Majesty, and then to the present. What kind of character Your Majesty is, I can't know it anymore......"

Lu Bu clenched his fists and said again: "Bu is willing to protect his life and implore the general for mercy." ”

"Okay, since Feng Xian has this obsession, I'll give it a try."

After Lu Bu left, Huangfu Song sat in front of the copywriting table, took a blank bamboo slip, and wrote: The minister Huangfu Song is sincerely panicked, in order to tell His Majesty, the minister lived up to the holy hope, and had a slight victory in the water to suppress the thief, but captured more than 40,000 thieves, and did not know how to punish it. The minister heard that since Gaozu, he has ruled the world with benevolence and filial piety......

After the brief was written, Huangfu Song sent people to expedite 800 miles and sent them to Luoyang in the starry night.
