The suspension bridge suspended in mid-air slowly erected above the moat with the clatter of iron chain cables.

The city gate opened, and Bo Cai lightly clamped the horse's belly, leading thousands of soldiers and horses behind him to enter.

Entering the city, the Xiahou brothers dismounted and untied Cao Cao's hands.

Cao Cao snapped his wrists twice, and said to Lu Bu: "General Lu, you go to the city to relieve the night guard of the moth thieves, and I will take people to the city to capture the thieves." ”

Since Cao Cao brought all the pawns, and Lu Bu's command was all cavalry, such a division of labor was the most appropriate.

Lu Bu nodded in agreement, divided his troops with Cao Cao at the gate of the inner city, and led the cavalry to gallop into the city.

He Yi, who went down to the city to greet him, walked halfway up the city ladder and bumped into Cao Cao who was going up the city.

"It's you!"

He Yi pointed at the person who came, his expression was shocked, only in this short moment, he already understood everything.

Xiahoudun didn't wait for Cao Cao to speak, and stepped forward with an arrow step, with murderous intent in his eyes, and the spear in his hand directly attacked He Yi's vital point.

Cao Cao hurriedly shouted: "Yuan Rang, spare his life!" ”

When Xiahoudun heard this, when the tip of the cold spear was about to pierce He Yi's chest, the angle was raised upward, against He Yi's throat, and shouted in a low voice: "If you want to live, don't talk nonsense." ”

The few pawns who followed behind He Yi were all stunned for a while after this kind of scene, and they had no idea.

Whether He Yi is dead or alive doesn't have much impact on Cao Cao, but he still can't figure out something, so he asked He Yi: "Tell me, how did you recognize me?" ”

With the addition of the knife and axe, He Yi didn't dare to hide it in the slightest, so he told Cao Cao everything Guo Jia said that day.

Cao Cao closed the corners of his eyes, narrowed his unique small eyeballs, examined He Yi, and then asked, "This is what you thought of?" ”

"No, it's a skinny boy." He Yi honestly confessed Guo Jia.

"What about others?"

"It's in the city."

"Let's go, take me to him."

captured He Yi, and under Cao Cao's grace and might, the Yellow Turban Army at the head of the city abandoned their weapons and surrendered.

However, he searched the entire city, but he didn't even touch a single hair of Guo Jia.

Soon there was a noise in the city, and the noise spread throughout the city.

Lu Bu sent people to guard the gates everywhere and carry out strong suppression, except for a few diehards, everyone else was very aware of the current affairs and put down their weapons and chose to surrender.

The soldiers took Yang Zhai bloodlessly, and Lu Bu sent people to Xinzheng to report the matter to General Zuo Zhonglang.

After receiving the good news from Lu Bu, Huangfu Song was in a good mood and wrote a good news to the imperial court. Five days later, he led a group of large families and 20,000 soldiers to successfully arrive in Yangzhai.

Fortunately, this time, the old men of the family finally got through a little conscience, killed pigs and sheep, and rewarded the brave soldiers who had meritorious service in this battle.

In the garrison camp in the city, Huangfu Song also specially opened a celebration banquet for Lu and Cao.

Since going south to quell the rebellion, so many days of hardship, not only the soldiers are physically and mentally exhausted, but they, the commanders and generals, have never had a day of stability, always on guard against the sudden attack of moths and thieves.

Tonight, I can finally get a good night's sleep.

In the main tent of the barracks, there is a staggered plan.

The generals' faces were flushed, and you drank nonsense from one cup to another.

"General Zhonglang, are those captives alright?" Lu Bu, who had been poured a lot of wine, remembered this, and raised his lamp to ask Huangfu Song, slightly drunk between his words.

At this point, the lively atmosphere in the tent plummeted, and everyone was like being enchanted at this moment, and they became dumb.

The reaction of everyone already said everything, Lu Bu was not a fool, how could he not guess the answer to the question.

He swallowed the full glass of wine in the wine cup fiercely, and with the burning heartburn that rushed straight to his head, he slapped the table and got up and pointed at Huangfu Song, unable to say a word for a long time.

Uncomfortable and disappointed emotions are mixed together, full of bitterness.

Didn't you promise me not to kill you?

"Bongxian, you're drunk!" Cao Cao was the first to react, forcibly pressed Lu Bu's raised wrist, gave the Xiahou brothers a look, and the three of them dragged Lu Bu out.

When the account was issued, Cao Cao did not forget to turn around and say: "Generals, you continue to drink, I will take General Lu out to breathe the wind and sober him up." ”

Walking out of the big tent, Lu Bu, who was full of alcohol, walked lightly, and some of his feet were unstable, and he relied on the Xiahou brothers to clamp his arms left and right so as not to fall.

"Mengde, how to deal with it?" Xiahoudun looked at Cao Cao, and he really didn't have a good impression of this young general who had injured his two brothers outside Xinzheng City and almost killed Cao Cao.

Xiahou Yuan on the other side was even more directly compared to wiping his neck, Lu Bu is an enemy rather than a friend, and he is the best of the three armies in force, and staying is definitely a cause for endless trouble, it is better to take advantage of his drunkenness and get rid of it.

Anyway, he has carried many charges for Cao Cao, and it is not bad this time or twice.

Cao Cao chose to ignore Xiahou Yuan's hints, but his mind was very open-minded, "Help him back to the camp first, let him rest for a long time." ”

Since he was a teenager, Cao Cao likes to make friends with heroes and heroes in the world, and for Lu Bu, as early as when he heard that he was peaceful and humble, he already had the intention of making friends.

A person who is willing to slap the table at Huangfu Song for a lowly captive will definitely not be a vicious person.

Although I don't understand why Lu Bu wants to kill him, judging from his performance in the past two days, Lu Bu's hostility towards him seems to be gradually decreasing.

Passing through the school field, there are many Han soldiers and soldiers.

There was a man with a naked upper body who was tied to the torture rack, his skin and flesh were covered with blood, and the hair scattered on the top of his head covered his face, and he couldn't see his appearance clearly.

The executioner held a rattan whip with thorns in his hand, raised his hand back, and whipped it up fiercely.

Syllable!

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Syllable!

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Every time the whip fell, the punished man not only had to endure the great pain coming from his body, but also shouted loudly, 'Your Majesty Shengming'.

Fifty lashes beat him to the point that his flesh and blood were torn apart, and it was unbearable to see.

After the execution, the two soldiers stepped forward to untie the rope that bound his arm, and the man's body fell forward uncontrollably, and he passed out.

Cao Cao stepped forward to see it, and was a little shocked in his heart, this person turned out to be a meritorious person who helped them capture the city, Bocai.

A few days ago, the Son of Heaven received a report from Huangfu Song, asking for instructions on how to deal with the surrendered moth thief captives.

Liu Hong is such a gloomy and perverse character, according to his ideas, all those who dare to take up arms to rebel against the court and try to subvert his country must all be killed, and no one will be left. But what Huangfu Song said in the brief is not unreasonable, the number of moth thieves in various places has exceeded one million, and it is useless to kill them, so it is better to collect them and use them, so that the people of the world can praise the holy name of the Son of Heaven.

Liu Hong thought it was a good idea, but the first captured moth thieves had to die. Otherwise, how can he kill chickens and make an example of monkeys, showing what a miserable end it is to oppose him.

If there are any more captives in the future, as long as they are willing to surrender to the court, they will no longer be pursued to show the mind of the Son of Heaven.

As for Bocai, it is not an exaggeration to behead and divide the body.

However, since he has the idea of making meritorious deeds, let him keep it for the time being, and if he can really make meritorious deeds, he will be rewarded with fifty lashes as a punishment for his thief; If not, let Huangfu Song send his head to Luoyang.
