Cao Hong wanted the crossbow in the hands of the Lu family's disciples very much, but Lu Ren didn't want to fight Cao Hong on this kind of thing, so he quickly turned his head and looked into the trapped horse pit, and said happily: "Brother Zilian, let's see if there are any big fish in this pit!" ”

Cao Hong nodded, and asked the few people trapped in the pit, "Who is Ernai?" Dare to attack my village at night! ”

The general in the pit glanced at Cao Hong coldly, looked around at the pit that was not dug very deep, and then looked at the spearheads and arrows shining with cold light on the edge of the pit, knowing that there was no hope of escape, he snorted heavily and responded: "Yanmen Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan are also!" ”

"Who!?" As soon as he heard this name, Lu Ren's ears felt like they had been pricked by needles, and without waiting for Cao Hong to continue asking, he stepped forward and asked in surprise: "Are you Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan!?" ”

Zhang Liao snorted heavily again, turned his head and ignored Lu Ren. Seeing this arrogance, Lu Ren said dumbly: "With this stinky temper and arrogance, it seems that it can't be wrong, right?" Come on, I've dug this horse pit so well, and I've caught a fat fish! ”

Zhang Liao, as Lu Bu's subordinate general during this period, actually did not have any fame at all, so Cao Hong naturally did not take it seriously. When he saw that Zhang Liao in the pit had obviously been captured, but he didn't have the slightest intention of begging for mercy and surrendering, he was really lazy to say any more nonsense, and waved his hand to the soldiers casually: "He has no intention of surrendering, it is useless to stay, kill!" ”

"Wait-" Lu Ren opened his voice and shouted, and after roaring, he coughed violently because he was too strong.

Seeing this, Cao Hong said curiously: "Mr. Lu, do you want to spare his life?" ”

Lu Renxin said that Zhang Liao was one of Cao Cao's five good generals, and he was also one of the most outstanding generals in the Three Kingdoms period, and now he fell into his own hands inexplicably, and it would be a pity if he was ordered by Cao Hong to shoot into a hornet's nest again. Again, Lu Ren really wanted to find out why Zhang Liao, Lu Bu's right-hand man, was not by Lu Bu's side, but he would appear here.

After lowering his head and thinking for a while, Lu Ren raised his head and whispered to Cao Hong: "If he is really Zhang Liao, it is better not to kill him." As far as I know, this person's character and martial arts are very good, and Cao Gong has always loved talents, let's send a living one to Cao Gong, maybe Cao Gong will be happier. If we kill him and just bring a head to see Cao Gong, Cao Gong will probably sigh a pity, but if we send a living Zhang Liao to Cao Gong and let Cao Gong surrender him, our credit may be greater. ”

Cao Hong also hesitated when Lu Ren said this, thought for a while and asked, "Are you sure that the Lord Guild intends to surrender to him?" ”

Lu Ren shrugged his shoulders: "Cao Gong's love for talent and honesty should be far clearer than me, then if you think about it carefully, is it better for Cao Gong to be a bloody head, or is it a living Zhang Liaoqiang?" ”

Cao Hong touched the dismount, nodded lightly and said: "Yes, the lord has always loved talent like life, if I really kill a talent that the lord wants, the lord will secretly blame me under pity......"

Lu Ren said: "Isn't this the end?" Even if Gong Cao doesn't want to surrender him, there is not much way to get to Pengcheng from here, don't we just prepare more prisoner cars? ”

Cao Hong nodded and said, "Mr. Lu is reasonable!" Then let the soldiers tie him up. ”

Lu Ren waved his hand and said, "Wait, let me confirm again." ”

With his arms folded, Lu Ren squatted on the edge of the pit, smiled at Zhang Liao and asked, "Are you really Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan?" ”

Zhang Liao said angrily in the pit: "How can this be fake!? ”

Lu Ren activated the chip, and after finding Zhang Liao's information, he thought about it and suddenly called: "Nie Liao! ”

Lu Ren shouted this because Lu Ren knew that after Zhang Liao was Nie Yi, his original surname should be Nie, which was changed to avoid resentment. As for what "don't change your name, don't change your surname" is actually pure, at least in the Qin and Han dynasties, it was actually very common to change your name and surname. There is a similar situation with Xu Shu, Xu Shu's real name is Shan Fu.

Zhang Liao in the pit was stunned when he heard this, and immediately asked, "Who are you?" Why do you know my real name!? ”

Lu Ren nodded vigorously, and said in his heart that this time it shouldn't be wrong. smiled and said to Zhang Liao: "Me? My surname is Lu, my name is Ren, and my name is Yihao. This is the counselor Cao Hong, Cao Zilian......"

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Liao exclaimed in the pit: "You are Lu Yihao?" The one who once made a big fuss in Xuzhou, and then governed Puyang, Xudu and even harvested for many years, so he was called Lu Ren Lu Yihao, who had Xiao He's talent!? ”

Lu Renxin said no, right? When did my name get out? is still said to have "Xiao He Zhicai"? However, it is a very cool thing to be praised so much, and Lu Ren is not a sage, so he can't help but feel a little complacent, shook his head and smiled and continued: "Yes, it is below." ”

Zhang Liao looked at Lu Ren in the pit for a few moments, and suddenly mocked: "It's really better to be famous than to meet!" Lu Renhui, who always thought that he could make trouble in Xuzhou, was a bright and upright man, but today it seems that he is just a villain who only knows crooked ways and makes tricks harmful! ”

Lu Ren stopped: "What did you say?" ”

Zhang Liao scolded: "Is there something wrong? The two armies clashed, and you didn't dare to fight with a certain dignified and upright person, but you used such an insidious trick to harm me! What is it if it is not a villain? ”

This sentence made Cao Hong angry enough, but Lu Ren was angry. Stretching out his arm to stop Cao Hong, who wanted to order the killing, Lu Ren squatted on the edge of the pit again and smiled at Zhang Liao: "Zhang Wenyuan, I think you should be neither surnamed Nie nor Zhang, you should be surnamed Lai-Lai of a scoundrel!" ”

Zhang Liao was also on fire: "Despicable villain, what did you say?" ”

Lu Ren smiled: "What are you angry about?" What qualifications do you have to be angry and scold? Don't forget that you want to loot the camp at night and burn the grain. Am I not above board? Is it because you don't fall first? Besides, don't you understand, 'soldiers, treacherous ways'? If you don't understand what it means to be 'will be planning but not being brave', please go back and read a few more years of military books before you come out to mix. On the battlefield, there are only winners and losers, and there is no morality to speak of. ”

"......" Zhang Liao was speechless with anger.

Lu Ren went on to reveal Zhang Liao's scars: "Actually, my 3,000 grain team here, you are rushing over with these hundreds of people, Zilian and I may not be able to defeat it, you prefer to be smart and play some night attack." If you don't come, the gates and fences of my horse pit and camp will be set up in vain. You're unlucky, your scouts are well hidden, but I've stumbled upon them, so I've calculated that you're going to raid the camp at night. Wen Yuan, people are not as good as heaven, you can admit it. It doesn't matter if you say I'm a villain, anyway, I, Lu Ren, never think I'm a decent gentleman. ”

"........." Zhang Liao was so angry by Lu Ren's almost scoundrel-like words that he couldn't speak, and his knuckles clicked.

Cao Hong couldn't help but laugh on the side, and reluctantly raised his face and shouted to Zhang Liao: "Since you are already trapped, why don't you come down early?"

Zhang Liao replied: "I am not convinced!" No fall!! If you have the guts, put me up, and the knife will be true immediately! ”

Lu Ren smiled: "Are you stupid to me?" Come on, tie him up! ”

――――――――――――――――――――

The sky was already bright, and the 3,000 grain team led by Lu Ren and Cao Hong was packing up their belongings and preparing to set off. However, before leaving, Lu Ren ordered the soldiers to dig graves and bury all the people killed in the battle last night.

This was not an unusual occurrence at the time, and there was nothing to be concerned about. However, after these corpses were buried, Lu Ren took out the bamboo flute and played a song "Imperial Sword Jianghu", which can be regarded as sending these people to the end.

As for why he did this, Lu Ren himself was a little unclear. Vaguely, Lu Ren just felt that whether it was Cao Cao or Lu Bu, there was no so-called right or wrong in this kind of war between warlords, and although these people were enemies, to put it bluntly, they were just victims in the warlord war.

And with it, Lu Ren remembered the small village where he lived at the beginning, and those villagers in the village were not victims of the warlord dispute? Since they are all just pitiful victims, why can't they use the sound of the flute to repose their souls?

But Zhang Liao, who was locked up in the prison car in the camp, saw this scene from afar, and a very strange feeling was born in his heart. And when Lu Ren played the song "Imperial Sword Jianghu" to see off these people, Zhang Liao only felt that his eyes were damp, and he quickly lowered his head so as not to let people see his gaffe.

In fact, these 300 or so people are elite soldiers brought out by Zhang Liao, and they have been following Zhang Liao since he served Ding Yuan, and it is not just as simple as a personal soldier for Zhang Liao. Suddenly, all of them were gone, how could Zhang Liao not be sad in his heart?

At the end of the funeral, the 3,000 grain team set off for Pengcheng again. Cao Hong opened the way in front, and Lu Ren sat on the wheel of Zhang Liao's prisoner car. Lu Ren really wanted to find out why Zhang Liao was not by Lu Bu's side, but he would appear here.

Looking at Zhang Liao in the prisoner car, Lu Ren smiled and shook his head, and motioned for a certain Lu family disciple to send some dry food and water, Lu Ren put it in the prisoner car and said, "General Zhang, eat something first before talking." ”

Zhang Liao glanced at Lu Ren and turned his head to ignore it, but his stomach was very angry at this time.

“……”

Lu Ren was dumbfounded, and then looked at Zhang Liao's face carefully, only to realize that it may be because it was too dark yesterday and he didn't see it, and Zhang Liao's face at this moment was a little hungry.

Lu Ren has been in Tuntian for more than three years, and he has dealt with famine refugees, so it can be seen at a glance that Zhang Liao has been hungry for at least four or five days. I wanted to persuade Zhang Liao, but thinking about Zhang Liao's stinky temper, I felt that it was better to use the method of agitation, so I smiled and said: "General Zhang, why are you so disdainful?" There is a saying that 'it is better to be a full ghost than a hungry soul'. Even if we want to kill you, you have to eat your stomach and have the strength to fight those little ghosts on the Huangquan Road, right? Are you afraid that my dry food is poisonous? ”

Zhang Liao snorted coldly: "If you are not afraid of death, how can you be afraid of these poisonous foods of yours?" Do you dare to untie the rope on someone's body and let someone eat calmly? ”
