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

Chapter 436 Give You an Hour

Two hours later, the interrogation was over, and the captain came to report to Lu Bu.

There are not a few people who understand current affairs, but there are still more than 3000 people who admit it frankly.

Lu Bu was very pleased, but also very sorry.

The good news is that there are not a few people with backbone, but it is a pity that their lives are not long.

Lu Bu gave them a chance, because they were going to die themselves, and they couldn't blame others.

"General, be merciful!"

At the gate of Taixue, dozens of old men were out of breath, and were stopped by soldiers, they could only speak loudly.

Lu Bu heard the movement and ordered the soldiers to let them in.

Nearly half of the old men who came here knew Lu Bu, and they couldn't talk about relationships, they just knew their names.

When they approached, Lu Bu asked knowingly, "Cai Shangshu is not staying in the city, what is he doing here?"

The old man standing at the front is over half a century old, his hair is all frosty white, his surname is Cai, and his single name is Yong.The scriptures on the stone tablet outside Taixue were written by him.

Cai Yong is a great Confucianist in the world, and his name is well-known all over the country.

Before, Cai Yong was exiled to Shuofang because he offended Shi Changshi, and later took refuge in Jiangdong.

After Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, he heard that Cai Yong was very famous, so he was recruited into the court as an official.Cai Yong refused to go away, so Dong Zhuo threatened to kill the barbarians, and Cai Yong had no choice but to obey.

When he arrived in Luoyang, Cai Yong was highly respected by Dong Zhuo, and he was promoted as Gaodi. He served successively as the censor, the censor, and the minister. Within three days, he traversed three platforms.

It can be said that Dong Zhuo's courtesy to Cai Yong couldn't be better.

Therefore, Lu Bu also sold him some thin noodles.

"The general mobilizes the troops so much, I don't know why?"

When Cai Yong learned that Lu Bu had surrounded Taixue with thousands of soldiers, he knew that something big was going to happen, so he united with some old friends who were officials in the court or who were idle at home, and came to intercede.

Lu Bu couldn't figure out whether Cai Yong was really ignorant or pretended to be ignorant, but this is not the point. He said loudly to the old Confucian scholars in front of him: "The students of the Taixue gather together to make trouble and insult the grand master of the court. This is an unforgivable crime. .I am ordered by the Grand Master to come here to capture and behead them."

No matter what, let's throw the pot back to Dong Zhuo first, expressing that he is just an errand runner, and if he has any questions or opinions, he can go to Dong Zhuo and have nothing to do with him.

Cai Yong heard the implication of Lu Bu's words, and he stopped wasting words with Lu Bu, cupped his hands and said, "I will go to the Grand Master to intercede, and please wait a moment, General, don't want to kill innocent people indiscriminately."

Lu Bu held his sword hilt in his hand, shook his head and said, "Forgive me, General, for not following orders."

"Why?"

Cai Yong was in a hurry. If Lu Bu killed someone with his back foot as soon as he walked away, wouldn't his trip be in vain.

"If Cai Shangshu goes and never returns, will this general wait here until he dies of old age?"

Lu Bu asked back, it's good that Cai Yong understands what he means, but he has to do what should be done, at least not to make Dong Zhuo suspicious.

I can't learn any blood today, and this matter will definitely not be finished.

"General, please give me half a day. I will be able to convince the Grand Master." Cai Yong assured Lv Bu that he was also very confident that as long as he communicated with Dong Zhuo well, Dong Zhuo would still listen to his opinion.

Lu Bu looked up at the sky, shook his head and said, "It's too long. This general can only give you one hour. After one hour, don't blame this general for being cruel."

"General, is one hour too..." Cai Yong felt that the time was too short and it was too late.

Lu Bu's eyes were indifferent, and Cai Yong swallowed back the last half of his sentence. It's better to have hope than nothing.

"Go to Ding Gong."

Before leaving, Cai Yong seemed to hear someone whispering in his ear.

He looked back suspiciously, but Lu Bu's lips and teeth did not move.

Probably an illusion.

Time was running out, so Cai Yong left Taixue, patted his horse and headed for Luoyang City.

It is also difficult for Mr. Cai, at such a great age, he still has to gallop on horseback, and his old bones are about to fall apart due to the bumps.

When he arrived at Xiangguo's mansion, the gate guard stopped Cai Yong.

"The old man has something important to meet with the Grand Master." Cai Yong said and walked inside.

The guard at the gate stopped Cai Yong again, and said in a firm tone, "The grand master said, we don't see any guests today."

"It's about thousands of lives, if it's too late, it's all over!"

The two of them didn't listen to Cai Yong's great principles, anyway they didn't let him in.

After grinding for a long time, it is still useless.Time passed slowly, Cai Yong was anxious, and if he stayed for a while, he would have to collect the corpse when he went back.

"It's convenient for the two of you, let the old man in."

Cai Yong even let go of his airs as a great Confucian, and begged in a low voice.If it wasn't for being old and weak, he would have forced his way in long ago.

The two guards at the gate were indeed a little pitiful when they saw Cai Yong, but an order is an order, and they did not dare to disobey Dong Zhuo, so they could only kindly say: "It's not that we don't want to help you, it's just that the Grand Master said something early, who is here today?" I don't see you either. You are old, so don't embarrass us brothers anymore."

It seems that Dong Zhuo expected that someone would come to intercede, so he asked him to come down in advance.

Cai Yong was guarding the door, he couldn't see Dong Zhuo, he was extremely troubled, but for some reason, he suddenly remembered the sound of "find Ding Gong" that he heard just now.

Up to now, the dead horse can only be regarded as a living horse doctor.

On Taixue's side, the Taixue students, who were scolding at first, became quiet after thinking about it, probably waiting for Cai Yong to come to save their lives.

However, the imagination is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.

"General, it's an hour." The captain stepped forward and told Lu Bu that he was a confidant officer under Niu Fu, and he was sent here with the intention of spying on Lu Bu.

"General, please wait a little longer!" The group of old Confucian scholars naturally didn't want to see the bloody slaughter, and they all begged for mercy, trying to buy Cai Yong more time.

Lu Bu ignored them and even asked the soldiers to isolate them.Originally, what he did just now was already against the rules, how could he continue to make exceptions.

Lu Bu's wife and children are all in Luoyang, so he would rather offend the scholars now than Dong Zhuo.

"Let twenty people come up first, and let this general have a good time first." Lu Bu said with a seemingly hearty voice.

Soon, the first batch of Tai students to be executed were pulled to the front of the square.

Lu Bu got up and walked down the stage. The soldiers next to him respectfully handed over a large knife for beheading people. The sunlight shaking on the blade was extremely dazzling.

Coming to the back of Prisoner No. 1, Lu Bu twisted his neck left and right, holding the handle of the knife with both hands.

The imperial student already knew his end, but he was not afraid of death, he scolded loudly with anger in his chest: "Lu Bu, you are working as a minion for a tiger and helping the evildoer, you will surely die a bad life in the future!"

puff~~
With the knife in his hand, Lu Bu didn't look at the dead body of that person. He took two steps forward and came to the back of the second person.

"Lu Bu, you idiot, it's in vain for me to regard you as a loyal person..."

puff~~
Another head fell to the ground.

　After writing this chapter, I feel a little aggrieved, maybe I am not used to such indiscriminate killing.

　　But in that era when massacres were common, no one in power had been stained with the blood of innocent people.
