The Reincarnation of Lu Bu at the End of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 231 Flogging
The suspension bridge suspended in the air was slowly erected above the moat amidst the rattling of iron chains and cables.

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

After entering the city, the Xiahou brothers got off their horses and untied Cao Cao's hands.

Cao Cao snapped his wrists twice, turned towards Lu Bu and said, "General Lu, go to the city to disarm the moth thieves at night, and I will lead people to the top of the city to capture the general."

Since Cao Cao's troops were all infantry, and Lü Bu's men were all cavalry, this division of labor was the most appropriate.

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

He Yi, who was greeted from the lower city, walked halfway up the city ladder, and bumped into Cao Cao who was from the upper city.

"It's you!"

He Yi pointed at the person who came, with a shocked expression. In this short moment, he already understood everything.

Xiahou Dun didn't wait for Cao Cao to speak, and strode forward, with murderous intent in his eyes, and directly attacked He Yi's vitals with the spear in his hand.

Cao Cao shouted urgently: "Yuan Rang, save his life!"

Xiahou Dun heard the words, when the point of the cold spear was about to pierce He Yi's chest, he raised the angle up and touched He Yi's throat, and shouted in a low voice: "If you want to survive, don't talk nonsense."

The few pawns following He Yi, after such a scene, were all stunned in place for a while, lost their minds.

Whether He Yi died or lived, in fact, it didn't have much influence on Cao Cao, but he still couldn't figure out some things, so he asked He Yi: "Tell me, how did you see through me?"

He Yi dared not hide anything, so he told Cao Cao everything that Guo Jia said that day.

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

"No, he's a skinny kid." He Yi honestly confessed to Guo Jia.

"What about others?"

"It's in the city."

"Go, take me to him."

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

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

Soon there was a commotion in the city, and there was a commotion everywhere, spreading throughout the entire city.

Lu Bu sent people to guard the gates of various places and carried out a strong suppression. Except for a very few diehards, everyone put down their weapons and chose to surrender.

Yang Di was captured without bloodshed, and Lu Bu sent someone to Xinzheng to report the incident to General Zuo Zhonglang.

After receiving the good news from Lu Bu, Huangfusong was in a good mood and wrote a good news to the court.Five days later, he led a group of wealthy families and [-] soldiers to Yangdi successfully.

Fortunately, this time the old men of the aristocratic family finally got some conscience, slaughtered pigs and sheep, and rewarded the brave soldiers who have made great achievements in this battle.

In the garrison camp in the city, Huangfusong specially held a celebration banquet for Lu and Cao.

Since going south to counter the rebellion, after so many days of hard work, not only the soldiers were exhausted physically and mentally, but the commanders and generals had never had a day of peace, and they were always on guard against the sudden attack of moth thieves.

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

In the main tent of the barracks, there were staggered cups of wine.

The faces of the generals glowed red, and you drank a cup of each other and talked nonsense.

"General Zhonglang, are those captives alright?" Lu Bu, who had been drunk a lot, remembered this, raised his lamp and asked Huangfusong, feeling a little drunk in his words.

As soon as these words were said, the lively atmosphere in the tent suddenly plummeted. At this moment, everyone seemed to be enchanted and became dumb.

Everyone's reaction already explained everything, Lu Bu is not a fool, how could he fail to guess the answer to the question.

He swallowed the full glass of wine in the wine cup vigorously, taking advantage of the scorching heartburn that hit his forehead, he patted the table and got up and pointed at Huangfusong, unable to say a word for a long time.

Feelings of discomfort and disappointment mixed together, full of bitterness.

Didn't you promise me not to kill and surrender?
"Fengxian, you're drunk!" Cao Cao was the first to react. He pressed Lu Bu's raised wrist forcibly, and gave Xiahou brothers a wink. The three of them grabbed Lu Bu and dragged him away.

When leaving the tent, Cao Cao didn't forget to turn his head and say, "Generals, keep drinking. I'll take General Lu out first to get some fresh air and sober him up."

Walking out of the big tent, Lu Bu, who was rushing forward with Jiu Jin, was sloppy in his footsteps, and he was a little unsteady in his standing. It was only because the Xiahou brothers clamped his arms on both sides that he would not fall down.

"Meng De, what should we do?" Xiahou Dun looked at Cao Cao. He really didn't like the young general who had wounded two of his brothers outside Xinzheng City and almost killed Cao Cao.

Xia Houyuan on the other side even made a direct gesture of wiping his neck. Lu Bu is an enemy and not a friend, and his military force is the best in the three armies. If he stays here, he will definitely have endless troubles. It is better to take advantage of his drunkenness and settle it once and for all.

Anyway, he has borne many charges for Cao Cao, and this time is not bad.

Cao Cao chose to turn a blind eye to Xia Houyuan's hints, but he was very open-minded, "Help him back to the tent first, so that he can rest well."

Since he was a boy, Cao Cao liked to make friends with the heroes of the world. For Lu Bu, he had already wanted to make friends with Lu Bu as early as he heard that he was ordinary and inferior.

A person who was willing to challenge Huangfusong for a lowly prisoner would definitely not be a vicious person.

Although he didn't understand why Lu Bu wanted to kill him, judging from his performance in the past two days, Lu Bu's hostility towards him seemed to be gradually decreasing.

Passing the school grounds, surrounded by many Han soldiers.

A man with bare upper body was tied to a torture rack, his flesh and blood were covered with blood, and the hair scattered on his head covered his face, making it impossible to see his appearance clearly.

The execution officer held a rattan whip with thorns in his hand, he raised his hand back, and whipped up hard.

Snapped!
"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Snapped!
"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Every time the whip fell, the man who was punished not only had to endure the huge pain from his body, but also shouted "Your Majesty's Holy Spirit" loudly.

A full fifty lashes beat his flesh and blood to pieces, it was too horrible to look at.

After the execution was over, two soldiers stepped forward to untie the ropes that bound his arms. The man fell forward uncontrollably and passed out.

Cao Cao stepped forward to look, and was a little shocked. This person was actually a person who helped them capture the city, Bo Cai.

A few days ago, the emperor received a report from Huangfusong, asking for instructions on how to treat the captive mothie who surrendered.

Liu Hong has such a perverted temperament, according to his thinking, all those who dare to take up arms to rebel against the imperial court and try to overthrow his country will all be killed, and no one will be left behind.But what Huangfu Song said in the memorial slips is not unreasonable. The number of moth thieves in various places has exceeded one million. It is useless to kill them.

Liu Hong thinks this proposal is good, but the first batch of moth thieves captured must die.Otherwise, how could he make an example of others and show what a miserable end it would be to go against him.

If there are prisoners in the future, as long as they are willing to surrender to the court, they will not be held accountable, so as to show the emperor's mind.

As for Bocai, beheading and dismembering his body is not an exaggeration.

But, since he has the idea of ​​making meritorious deeds, let's keep it for now. If he can really make meritorious deeds, he will be rewarded with fifty lashes as punishment for being a thief; The head was sent to Luoyang.
