Zhao Pet took the initiative to surrender, and Lu Bu also ordered to stop the attack. Even if he didn't care about Zhang Miao's safety, but now that Zhao Pet took the initiative to surrender in public, if he still wanted to continue the attack, he would deliberately want to kill Zhang Miao.

Lu Bu thought of the worst outcome, it could be that Zhang Miao died in the chaos. In that case, Lu Bu seems to be able to absorb Zhang Miao's soldiers and horses, which will benefit a lot, but in fact, if Zhang Miao is really dead, Lu Bu will at least bear half of the responsibility!

At that time, Zhang Miao's soldiers and horses would become a burden to Lu Bu. Zhang Miao's subordinates will not have much loyalty to Lu Bu. What's more, as soon as Zhang Miao dies, which of his relatives and friends will give Lu Bu a good face? It's lucky not to see Lu Bu as an enemy.

Compared with it, Lu Bu's co-optation of Zhang Miao's soldiers and horses did not benefit much. Will Lu Bu lack those thousands of soldiers and horses?

The chaos was peaceful, Zhang Miao tidied up his clothes under the service of the left and right, and then let people bring the traitor Zhao Pet to him.

Looking at Zhao Pet who was kneeling on the ground, Zhang Miao didn't have much anger, but just asked, "Why do you want to fall?" Zhao Pet, do you think I will forgive your life? ”

Zhao Pet understood very well what his ending was, was silent for a moment, and then said, "The prince and I are also the kings and ministers, the matter has come to this, I don't expect the prince to forgive me, I only hope that after I die, the prince will take care of my family for the sake of my years of hard work!" ”

"You-"

Zhang Miao still wanted to question Zhao Pet a few words, but after seeing Zhao Pet's expression, he was speechless. The reason for Zhao Pet's rebellion was already told to him. It's just that between the dilemma between the lord and his family, Zhao Pet chose to protect his family and turn his back on the lord.

In that case, what else is there to say?

"After the capture of Juancheng, I will take care of your family, is there anything else you want to say?"

I don't know if it's because Zhao Pet didn't kill him in the end, or if he remembered the past at this moment, Zhang Miao responded to Zhao Pet's dying request.

"Nope."

Zhao Pet smiled bitterly, and then looked at Lu Bu's body again, "I still have a question, when the prince gave the order to attack, did he really not care about Zhang Fujun's safety?" ”

Lu Bu said without changing his face, "The law of the country is like this, and it doesn't follow personal feelings!" If one day in the future, I will be hijacked, and I will not hesitate to order the army to attack. ”

"I see!"

Zhao Pet suddenly laughed.

Zhang Miao lowered his sleeves and asked the left and right armor soldiers to take Zhao Pet down. Looking at Zhao Chong's last appearance, Zhang Miao actually sighed, "Since I appointed Chen Liutaishou, Zhao Pet has been the Sima for me, and now it has been several years. But he never thought that grace and righteousness would be extinguished once and for all. ”

"Tonight, I also ordered the killing of a crony who has been fighting with me for more than ten years."

Lu Bu looked at Zhang Miao, "In the troubled times, there will be no less such things, there are today, and they will appear tomorrow!" Instead of lamenting the death of one person here, it is better to reflect on how to prevent this kind of thing from happening in the future! Zhang Fujun, do you think that's the truth? ”

Zhang Miao was silent.

With the death of Zhao Pet, this disaster has also been calmed down. It's just that after interrogating Zhao Chong's left and right guards, Zhang Miao actually found that there were really people in his army who wanted to unite with Zhao Chong to rebel, even though there was only one Qu Junhou and a few tun commanders, but that also shocked Zhang Miao. What shocked Zhang Miao even more was that before these people had time to rebel, they were subdued by Lu Bu's order. If Lu Bu hadn't decisively given the order, I am afraid that this chaos would have expanded.

Not to mention how Zhang Miao was impressed by Lu Bu, since the rebellion was quelled, Lu Bu also led the army back to the camp. However, what happened in Zhang Miao's camp tonight made Lu Bu also take warning, even if he set up military regulations. If one day such an incident happens in their army, they must not compromise with the thieves.

If this general in the army can let his subordinates take him hostage and use him as a hostage, what face will he have to live?

After returning to the camp, Li Ru also heard the news.

In the handsome tent, Li Ru looked at Lu Bu, who was unloading his armor, and pleaded guilty, "The lord asks for the crime of the minister!" I am in charge of the secret guard for the lord, but I can't investigate the conspiracy of Wang Dang and Jiang Yi, the two thieves, I am really ashamed! ”

"This matter has nothing to do with Wen You, and it has nothing to do with the dark guard."

Lu Bu shook his head, "Didn't I see the conspiracy of Wang Dang and Jiang Yi?" Who would have thought that they would really have the courage to come and assassinate me, and the other to kidnap Zhang Taishou? ”

"When the two men surrendered, the lord asked me to pay close attention to their movements. If I had paid more attention, nothing like this would have happened. ”

Li Ru still blamed himself a little.

"Speaking of Wang Dang and Jiang Yi, it makes me understand a lot."

Lu Bu hung his armor on the stand on the side, and then laughed self-deprecatingly, "If it weren't for the two of them, how could I know that the guards around me would be so negligent and confused?" How do you know that there are so many people in Zhang Miao's army? They did not let me lose anything at this time, but made me vigilant, and from now on, we must not be negligent! Otherwise, I'm afraid that I don't know which day, I will be like Zhang Mengzhuo, and let people hijack me, and I don't know it! ”

Li Ru chuckled, naturally hearing the ridicule in Lu Bu's tone. But tonight's events are also worth reflecting on. Not to mention anything else, Zhang Miao, the chief general of the First Army, even if Sima rebelled under his account, how could he be hijacked?

It sounds incredible, but it's happening.

"I heard that this Zhao pet has also followed Zhang Taishou for many years, why did he change in one day?"

didn't go with Lu Bu to quell the rebellion, Li Ru didn't know the reason for this Zhao Pet's rebellion, so he had this doubt.

Lu Bu was about to walk to the couch, but when he heard this, he was silent for a long time, and then he replied, "When Zhang Mengzhuo got into trouble, this Zhao pet family was in Juancheng, and it must have been Xiahoudun who coerced his whole family with his life, so it was like this!" ”

Li Ru was also speechless.

Just this reason is enough to deserve Zhao Chong's rebellion.

"However, Zhao Pet is a person who forgets his righteousness when he sees profit, even if there is no such thing, he may defect."

Lu Bu replied, "Didn't I just give him money in the first place to accept this evil general?" ”

"That's just as well."

Li Ru looked at Lu Bu, who was about to sleep, and didn't dare to continue to disturb, so he retreated, "Since the lord is fine, Confucianism is also relieved, if there is nothing important to order, then I will retreat first." ”

And after watching Li Ru's back disappear, Lu Bu, who was lying on the bed, remembered Jia Xu who was far away in Jinyang.

If there really is such a day, Jia Xu and Zhao Pet are the same, how will he choose between the lord and his family?
