At dawn, Liu Ze sat down on the White Gate Tower, and people from all walks of life came to report the victory, and the flow was endless.

Xu Yan and Wang Kai were captured by Tai Shici and escorted to see Liu Ze. Of course, the celebrities of the Han Dynasty had lofty and upright people like Lu Zhi and Zheng Xuan, and there were also despicable people like Wang Kuaiyue who bent their knees and betrayed their sycophants, obviously Xu Yan and Wang Kai couldn't do the former, and they were greedy for life and afraid of death, and they bowed their heads as soon as they saw Liu Ze. Cao Cao has the mind of accepting all rivers, and plays an exemplary role in recruiting and accepting rebellions, and only talents are used, which also changes the atmosphere of the Han Dynasty that emphasizes the name of the festival. Xu Yan and Wang Kai can also be regarded as contemporary celebrities, they have talent and ability, since they are willing to surrender, Liu Ze is naturally very happy.

As for Song Xianhou Cheng, who betrayed his lord for glory, Liu Ze was very disgusted, the object of his allegiance was a personal matter, and if he was together, he would be dispersed if he did not agree, which was understandable, but it was disloyal to live in his land and sacrifice his land, and it was unrighteous to eat his land and kill his lord, and he turned his back on his lord to seek glory, that is a despicable villain, of course, this kind of person is not unusable, but it cannot be reused.

Of course, Song Xianhou Cheng captured Lu Bu is meritorious, meritorious service must be rewarded and punishment is the principle of governing the army, Liu Ze does not use personal preferences to waste, and immediately ordered the two to reward each of them with a thousand taels of gold and a hundred brocades.

Song Xian and Hou Cheng were overjoyed and bowed their heads to thank them.

Later, a sergeant came to report that Chen Gong had been captured.

Liu Ze frowned slightly, and the rest of Lu Bu's subordinates were okay, except for Song Xianhou, who surrendered to the lord, other people such as Wei Xu Cao Xing. Basically, it didn't take much effort to surrender, and the only two hard bones that were hard to bite were Gao Shun and Chen Gong, these two were the lords who swore to the death, and these two people were people that Liu Ze valued very much, and how to subdue them was a headache for Liu Ze.

"Come on, untie Mr. Gongtai." Seeing Chen Gong, who was tied up by Wuhuada, Liu Ze smiled and ordered someone to untie it.

"No need!" Chen Gong immediately rejected Liu Ze's kindness, and said proudly, "Just let this rope stay on Chen's body, because it can always remind Chen of his identity as a prisoner under the stairs!" ”

Liu Ze smiled slightly and said, "There is an order first." The first evil must be punished. Never asked, the culprits of this Lü Bu rebellion were only Lü Bu and Cao Bao, and now Lü Bu has been captured and Cao Bao ambushed. A certain has pardoned the sins of his people. Mr. Gongtai is also exonerated. What is a prisoner? ”

Chen Gong stood tall and said, "Under the nest, there are eggs." The lord is ambushed, how can Chen be alone, but today he wants to die, in order to understand my will! ”

"There are also old mothers and wives on public stations, how can they be allowed to endure the pain of bereavement?" Liu Ze asked.

"The eldest husband killed himself and became benevolent, sacrificing himself for righteousness, since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety can not be both, although a certain is ashamed of the old mother of Gaotang, he will never regret it. If Liu Yuanjun wants to use this to coerce Chen, I am afraid that Liu Yuanjun's wishful thinking will come to naught. A certain person who rules the world with filial piety, does not harm people's relatives, governs the world benevolently, does not end people's worship, and the survival of the old mother and wife is determined by the king. Chen Gong said generously, his expression unchanged.

Looking at Chen Gong, who was bent on dying, Liu Ze was really tricky, he waved his hand, ordered someone to escort Chen Gong behind a screen, thought about it, and brought Gao Shun up again, standing side by side with Chen Gong. When Gao Shun came up and passed in front of Liu Ze, he just glanced at Liu Ze contemptuously and didn't say a word.

Liu Ze then ordered Lu Bu to be escorted up.

Lu Bu was tied up in a ball, and all the ropes were strangled into the meat, just like a huge lobster, and it was very difficult for Lu Bu to straighten his waist, and when he went up to the city tower, he couldn't take a step at all, and the two soldiers who escorted him almost dragged him up. As soon as he was halfway away, Lu Bu saw Song Xian and Hou Cheng, his eyes had already been cleaned, although they were still a little red and swollen, it did not hinder his eyesight. When Lu Bu saw the two of them, he couldn't help but be furious, and he couldn't wait to eat their flesh raw, and said through gritted teeth: "Benhou treats you well on weekdays, why do you want to rebel?" ”

Hou Cheng was slightly ashamed, lowered his head and said nothing. Song Xian snorted coldly and said: "I only listen to the words of my wife and concubine, ignore the generals in vain, betray my ways, and punish my subordinates at every turn, what is not thin?" ”

Lu Bu was silent and was brought to Liu Ze by the sergeant. Although Lu Bu is tall, the two sergeants who escorted Lu Bu were obviously carefully selected by Zhang Fei, with big shoulders and round waist, tall and strong, and when they walked to the bottom of the hall, the two pressed Lu Bu's shoulders and wanted him to kneel, although Lu Bu was bound, he was not willing to be humiliated, and refused to kneel, and the two sergeants kicked his legs fiercely, and Lu Bu could only pounce and fall to the ground.

"Who is the one who kneels?" Although Liu Ze knew that he was Lu Bu, he deliberately asked. But now Lu Bu's appearance is a little miserable, covered in blood, ragged, eyes red and swollen like walnuts, his face is blue and purple, he is tied up like a dumpling, and the wolf is unbearable, if he is not familiar, he will definitely not be associated with the handsome and high-spirited Lu Bu.

Lu Bu's face was full of shame and he didn't speak.

The sergeant who escorted him said, "Lord Qi, Lu Bu brings it." ”

Liu Ze smiled slightly and said, "It turned out to be Lu Wenhou, Liu was clumsy, why did he become such a wolf?" You're too rude to Wen Hou, aren't you? ”

From being captured in the middle of the night to the present hour, a few hours have passed, Lu Bu was tied up like this, and the whole person was almost numb, and when he heard Liu Ze say this, he hurriedly said: "The binding is too tight, and I begged Liu to slow it down." ”

The sergeant said: "Lu Bu is very fierce, he killed dozens of soldiers with his bare hands, and his subordinates were worried that he would escape, so they tied him tightly. ”

Liu Ze was surprised: "Lu Wenhou is worthy of being a peerless hero, and he can kill dozens of soldiers with his bare hands, if Lu Wenhou is allowed to hold the halberd and ride the horse, I am afraid that Ben Gongzhen will not be able to sit here." Wen Hou is a tiger in the forest, even if this can hurt people, it seems that this tie still can't be untied. ”

Being escorted here, Lu Bu could probably guess what his final fate was, but he was still unwilling, after all, he didn't want to die yet, and hurriedly shouted: "Liu Yuanjun, Bu Zhi is wrong, Bu Ben has no intention of offending the envoy, just because Cao Bao and others have repeatedly instigated it, the ghost is confused, and he has attacked Xuzhou and committed the crime of rebellion and death." Bu regretted that he shouldn't have listened to Cao Bao's words, and asked Liu Yuanjun to be extrajudicial and spare Bu's life! ”

The people present all cast disdainful glances at Lu Bu, compared to Gao Shun Chen Gong, Lu Bu's bones were really too soft.

Liu Ze said in a deep voice: "Lu Bu, don't say that my father didn't give you a chance, last year you were defeated in Yanzhou, fled south in a hurry, and begged my father to be contained in you." At that time, all the people were persuading my father, saying that you Lu Bu was a wolf, a wolf that could bite people, and you must not be taken in, but this father cherished that you were a general and could not bear to abandon it, so he was able to override public opinion, take you in, give you the city, give you grain and grass, and this prince thinks that as long as I treat him with sincerity, you will not be rebellious! It's a pity that I thought wrong, you are a wolf after all, what is the nature of a wolf, ferocious and greedy, you will be repaid, even if you cherish your talent, it's a pity that your nature does not change, and eventually it will backfire on its master, and I don't have the courage to keep you anymore. What do you think of what to do with Lu Bu? ”

Zhang Fei had just come up from below, and shouted from afar: "Big brother, Lu Bu, this dog thief, can never be kept, wait for me to personally handle the knife, cut this dog thief with a thousand knives, and vent the hatred in my heart!" "Zhang Fei has the ability to kill pigs, and his grudge with Lu Bu is not a day or two, and he really can't wait to cut Lu Bu into pieces.

Jia Xu also said: "Lu Bu is unkind and unrighteous, why doesn't the lord want to think about Ding Jianyang and Dong Zhuo?" ”

Everyone present said that Lu Bu was an ungrateful villain, and this kind of villain should not be gullible, and it should be cut off to eliminate future troubles.

Lu Buhou's heart was cold, it seemed that he was definitely unable to escape death today, thinking about his life, he ended up in such a miserable end today, and he couldn't help but cry.

Liu Ze's face was solemn, and he said slowly in a deep voice: "Lu Bu committed the crime of plotting rebellion and rebellion, and the crime is unforgivable, and he should be beheaded according to the law." Come on, push Lu Bu out and behead him! ”

The two executioners immediately stepped forward and lifted Lu Bu.

"Wait!" At the moment of death, Lu Bu hissed and shouted loudly, and said to Liu Ze: "Liu Yuanjun, do you really want to kill Lu Bu?" ”

"Military law is like a mountain, how can this public bend the law for personal gain? Lu Bu, I knew today, why did you bother in the first place, you have come to this point, do you have to complain about others? Liu Ze said calmly.

Lu Bu said: "Lu Bu knows that his crime is serious, but he has not decided today, morality and justice are the time to employ people, although Bu is not talented, but he still has some courage, he is willing to be a pawn in front of the horse, for the virtue of the world to conquer the world, will atone for the sin!" ”

His words were generous and heartfelt, and Liu Ze seemed to be a little moved, yes, if you really use Lu Bu as the vanguard of the siege of the city, try to see who can be the enemy in the world? But this thought only flashed in Liu Ze's heart, can you believe Lu Bu's words? He is a wolf by nature, this is something that cannot be changed, even if he swears a curse today, but once he is allowed to gain power, he will still bite, there is no doubt about this. It is impossible for Liu Ze to take any more risks, and today's Yiqiē may still be within his control, but what about the future? As the old saying goes, there are only a thousand days to be a thief, and there is no thousand days to prevent thieves, Liu Ze can't put all his energy on guarding against Lu Bu, maybe one day in the future, when you are defenseless, he will bite you fiercely and fatally.

Lu Bu saw that Liu Ze was groaning, thinking that his words had moved him, and secretly rejoiced, and said: "Liu Yuanjun, if there is no Cao Bao to instigate this time, Bu will never have two hearts, it is Bu who was confused for a while to commit a capital crime, and ask Degong to give Bu another chance, and to be loyal to the ground, and to repay Degong with death."
