"What are your plans for the future?"
When Lu Bu asked this question, Xu Rong was silent.
He blocked the Kwantung princes at Hulao Pass and firmly kept hundreds of thousands of troops out.Now that Dong Zhuo is dead, the emperor issued an imperial edict, and Dong Zhuo's party members were all executed, and he could not escape it.
"Are you interested in following me?"
Without warning, Lu Bu looked at Xu Rong and continued, "There are no outsiders here, so I'll cut to the chase. I know your abilities, and it's no exaggeration to say that you are a general. Now most of my generals are reckless , there are not many people who can hold the place, I need a talent like you."
Speaking of the last sentence, Lu Bu showed sincerity on his face.
"Marquis Wen, you are not afraid..."
Xu Rong hesitated to speak, his expression moved.
He is now wanted by the imperial court, and he is a key criminal related to Dong Zhuo's incident. It can be said that his reputation has been completely ruined.He didn't want to drag Lu Bu down because of this, and even thought about changing his name and surname, and re-entering the barracks, even if it was just as a soldier.
For the army, Xu Rong has his own beliefs.
Lu Bu waved his hand indifferently, and excused Xu Rong: "Dong Zhuo did everything in the past, but you just obeyed orders. Now that Dong Zhuo is dead, it can be regarded as an explanation. It should not be counted on your head."
It is a bounden duty for soldiers to obey orders.
After a while, Lu Bu asked again: "How is it? Have you thought about it yet?"
In fact, Xu Rong didn't have too many worries from the beginning. Dong Zhuo was very kind and promoted back then, and he also desperately repaid it.From being ordered at the Hulao Pass when he was in danger, to serving as the general of Zhenguan Pass, to now protecting the young master with all his might, everything can show his loyalty to Dong Zhuo.
However, now that Dong Zhuo is dead, he has become a bereaved dog. Everyone shouts and beats him, but no one wants to take him in.
When Xu Rong was young, he had determined to become a famous general in history and show his strength, so he was unwilling to die just like that.
Now, Lu Bu spoke up and asked him to stay.
Since Lu Bu was not afraid of being dragged down, he naturally had no other worries, and immediately replied, "Thanks to the general for not giving up, I am honored to serve the general as a dog and a horse."
Seeing that Xu Rong was willing to surrender, Lu Bu immediately got up and walked into the hall, helped Xu Rong up, and laughed loudly, full of pride: "Hahaha, I got Shu Mao, it's like adding two wings to a tiger!"
Xu Rong's expression seemed to be flattered, in front of this mighty general, he was no big deal, he bowed his hands humbly and replied: "Marquis Wen's praise, I should not be praised like this."
Lu Bu was in a good mood and patted Xu Rong on the shoulder so that he didn't have to worry about the court. Then he asked Xu Rong to clean the room and lead Xu Rong to rest.
After Xu Rong left, two figures walked out from behind the erected screen.
"Congratulations, general, a new general has been added."
Xi Ce was the first to congratulate Lu Bu. He didn't know much about Xu Rong, but he was able to block the attack of hundreds of thousands of allied forces at Hulao Pass, which showed his strength.
Lu Bu was already happy to accept Xu Rong, but now he heard the congratulations from the play, and said with a smile: "Xu Rong is also forced to have no way out, otherwise how could he submit to me so easily."
The two were laughing there, and Chen Gong beside him had a worried look on his face.
"General, is this inappropriate?"
Chen Gong reminded in a low voice that one was Dong Zhuo's bloodline, and the other was a rebel general who was helping the rebellion, both of whom were wanted by the imperial court.If Lu Bu protected these two people, he would definitely confront the imperial court.
This is what Chen Gong does not want to see.
-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------
"Then from the perspective of the public platform, what should we do?"
"Hand it over to the imperial court to set the record straight."
Chen Gong spoke loudly, as if he was saying something that should be taken for granted.
Lu Bu shook his head slightly in his heart, and handed over to the court, Dong Bai and Xu Rong must die.
Since Chen Gong joined his command, most of the plans he thought of were based on the direction of the imperial court.However, in the memory of Lu Bu's previous life, Chen Gong was not a person who was loyal to the Han Dynasty, and even used some small tricks, which was far less upright and upright than he is now.
What made Chen Gong's temperament change drastically?
Lu Bu couldn't figure it out.
into the night.
In Chang'an City, a certain mansion on the east side.
The lobby in the middle of the house is covered with plain white stripes, and it is desolate in the cold night.
Obviously, something happened in this mansion.
Follow the lighted candles, look into the hall, there are many offerings such as meat, melons and fruits on the altar, and then look at the black lacquer tablet facing the gate, which reads impressively: Former General Yak Township Hou Donggong Taboo Zhuo's spiritual position.
It was Dong Zhuo!
And the old man who paid homage to Dong Zhuo in the hall was actually Cai Yong, a great scholar of Confucian classics in the dynasty!
After Cai Yong learned that Dong Zhuo was killed, no one collected his body, so he shed tears.
Although Cai Yong did not agree with Dong Zhuo in terms of righteousness, he was grateful for Dong Zhuo's kindness in the past, so he set up a mourning hall in the mansion in private to mourn Dong Zhuo.
At the moment when the whole country is celebrating Dong Zhuo's punishment, Cai Yong dares to pay respects to Dong Zhuo in private.
Even the old steward in the mansion couldn't stand it any longer, and came to persuade Cai Yong: "Patriarch, this old servant said something you don't like to hear, it's really unwise for you to openly worship Dong Zhuo like this. "
"Look at that Wang Situ, who got his position by currying favor with Dong Zhuo before. Now that Dong Zhuo died, he immediately got rid of it completely. Also, the one who shouted for Dong Zhuo from the barbarians is also Mr. Situ, you , I really should learn from him.”
Hearing this, Cai Yong's face suddenly changed, and he reprimanded the steward with a stern face: "Dong Zhuo has a kindness to me, and now his head is separated, and there is no one to collect his body. If I don't set up a mourning hall for him, wouldn't it be Have you become an ungrateful person? You don’t need to talk about this matter, I will make my own decision.”
The personalities of these great Confucians basically belong to the stones in the latrine, which are smelly and hard.
The old steward sighed and had no choice but to back down.
Bang bang bang!Bang bang bang!
In the early morning of the next day, when the sky was dim, there was a hasty knock on the door outside Cai Yong's mansion.
The servant opened the door, and standing outside was a group of servants in all black official uniforms, with knives at their waists.
"Is your master there?" the leader asked coldly.
The servant was uncertain, and asked timidly, "Are you..."
When he was in Luoyang before, no one would dare to be so arrogant in front of the Cai Mansion, but now that Cai Yong is without Dong Zhuo's protection, everyone wants to bully him.
That's a hairless phoenix, not as good as a chicken!
The leading official did not shy away from it, and said loudly: "Go and tell your master, just say that it is the adults of the Tingwei Mansion, and you want to ask him to talk to the old man."
