Chapter 90
As soon as Lu Bu died, both Cao and Liu breathed a sigh of relief.
You know, although this guy has a bad character, his martial arts are really good! Let
’s not talk about the deterrence he brought to the 18 princes at Hulao Pass; just the recent Battle of Puyang, he fought against the six generals of Cao’s camp alone: Xu Chu, Dian Wei, Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Li Dian, and Le Jin, and killed him. The past still makes people, especially Boss Cao, feel scared!
Now seeing this guy being executed in public, all the generals present naturally applauded!
Although Boss Cao felt a little sorry, he did not regret making this decision.
As for Cao Jian himself, he did not have any regrets: after all, from his point of view, this Lu Bu must die!
The reason is very simple. Lu Bu has a criminal record: he killed his"adoptive father" Ding Yuan for a red rabbit horse before; later, for Diao Chan, he killed Dong Zhuo, the second"adoptive father"!
Now that Diao Chan has become Cao Jian's woman, he will never allow others to covet her!
If he really persuades Lu Bu to surrender
, it will be like burying a time bomb next to him!
Moreover, it is the kind that no one can stop when he goes crazy!
If he has to choose between Diao Chan and Lu Bu,
Cao Jian doesn't need to think too much: keeping one of the four great beauties in history to warm the quilt, isn't she nice?
What's more, even if he puts aside the reason of Diao Chan, in his opinion, Lu Bu is fierce but brave but not wise, and he is not irreplaceable, and the most important thing is that he is not easy to control!
Looking at the Three Kingdoms period where heroes emerge in large numbers, there are many famous generals who are more useful than Lu Bu!
For example, in the folk ranking of"One Lu, Two Zhao, Three Dian Wei", Zhao Yun ranks only below Lu Bu?
Not only is his martial power awesome, but his character is also top-notch, and the rest of the aspects are also perfect!
What's more, according to the time, the god general should have left Gongsun Zan and returned home to attend the funeral!
He became a leaderless general again, waiting for a wise master...
Even if we take a step back: just look at the famous generals under Lu Bu who are buried now?
For example, Zhang Liao, who later became the leader of the"Five Elite Generals"?
Another example is Gao Shun, the invisible general who has a higher status than Zhang Liao under Lu Bu, and who trained the"Entrapment Camp" ace special forces and is loyal to him?
Just these two people, although they are not as strong as Lu Bu in terms of military strength, but in terms of marching and leading troops, as well as character and wisdom, they are all strong and not weak, which is even more rare! These two top talents, once conquered, will definitely be much more useful than Lu Bu himself!
……
While Cao Jian was still calculating, he saw another eight-foot-tall, majestic general being tied up and shouting:
"Lu Bu, a coward! How can you be called a hero if you are afraid of death?
I, Zhang Wenyuan of Yanmen, am deeply ashamed of having served you!
A real man should die if he wants to, what is there to fear?!"
Everyone looked closely and saw that the person who was brought up was Zhang Liao, the leader of the"Eight Strong Generals" who had just witnessed Lu Bu's cowardly look before his death!
There is no harm without comparison!
Perhaps it was because Lu Bu's cowardly look just now was too cheap!
It immediately contrasted Zhang Liao's performance of facing death with equanimity: the impassioned words actually made many famous generals present, including Guan Yu and Zhang Fei of Liu Bei's side, as well as the Xiahou brothers, Cao Hong, Yu Jin, Li Dian and others in Cao's camp, praise him!
Even Boss Cao himself couldn't help but be surprised and looked at Zhang Liao hurriedly.
This look made Lao Cao change color instantly, and he asked around:
"This man... looks very kind!"
Zhang Liao laughed when he saw this:
"We met in Puyang, how could I forget it?"
When Boss Cao heard this, he instantly remembered:
In the battle of Puyang, he was beaten badly by Lu Bu!
When he was escaping, wasn't he chased by Zhang Liao in front of him, and even almost lost his life?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help laughing:
"You also remember this? Did you ever expect that you would end up like this?"
Zhang Liao sneered after hearing this:
"Humph! It’s a pity that the fire in Puyang was not big that day, and it didn’t burn you, an old thief, to death!
Boss Cao was exposed in public and was instantly furious:
"Bastard! How dare you, a defeated general, insult me?!"
After saying that, he drew his sword: he couldn't help but want to personally chop Zhang Liao, the blind man!
Seeing this, Zhang Liao showed no fear on his face! (To read the exciting novel, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
Instead, he stretched his neck very happily, waiting for Boss Cao to chop him!
He looked like he was ready to die and hated his life!
Seeing the sword flash, the boss's long sword was about to chop down!
Seeing this, Cao Jian hurriedly shouted:
"Dad, wait a minute! In the battle of Puyang, both sides fought for their own masters!
On the battlefield, everyone fought for their lives, life and death changed in an instant, and no one was to blame!
But now, it is no longer the battlefield of that day.……"
"Dad, you have seen this man's ability that day!
Moreover, he is so loyal, so we should keep him!
If we kill him, it would seem that we are intolerant.……"
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Liao's heart suddenly warmed up, and he thought:
"He had already prepared himself, stretched his neck and waited for death!
But when he was dying, he didn't expect that someone would speak up for him?
And the person who spoke up was actually the second son of the Cao family, who was even more brave and invincible than Lu Bu?"
The sudden affirmation at the moment of life and death made him feel mixed emotions: At that moment, Zhang Liao felt a little grateful to Cao Jian for no reason...
After hearing this, Boss Cao's anger turned into laughter in an instant!
"Hahaha, my son's words are very good!"
To say that he can be called a"generation of treacherous heroes" is really not an exaggeration: his ability to adapt to circumstances is truly amazing!
The long sword that was originally intended to chop people suddenly turned into a light stroke!
After cutting the rope, Boss Cao threw away the long sword and personally untied Zhang Liao:
"I also know that Wenyuan is loyal and righteous, and I just said it as a joke……"
After that, he took off his cloak and put it on Zhang Liao with a swift movement!
However, this was not enough!
Boss Cao's means of winning people's hearts was a complete"combination punch": after personally untying and giving clothes, he personally pulled Zhang Liao and sent him to the VIP seat step by step!
This series of operations directly confused Zhang Liao:
"Thinking back to the beginning, when I was under Lu Bu's command, when had I ever received such treatment and such attention?"
You know, Zhang Liao is not a foolish and loyal person who doesn't know how to adapt!
As a hero with ideals and ambitions, if he can live, who would be willing to die in vain?
Moreover, he is buried with Lu Bu, an unkind and incompetent master?
There is no doubt that with the cooperation of Cao's father and son!
Zhang Liao's original desire to die to fulfill the name of loyalty was completely melted!
He was seen with gratitude to Cao Jian and Boss Cao!
He surrendered on the spot with a plop:
"Think about me, Zhang Liao. What virtue and ability do
I have to be so valued by Lord Cao and the Second Young Master?
As the saying goes, a good bird chooses a tree to inhabit, and a good minister chooses a master to serve!
Although I am not talented, I am willing to abandon the dark and join the light!"
"
From now on, I will go through fire and water and be driven by Cao's family...".: ⓀⒶⓂⒺⓃ ⓇⒾⒹⒺⓇ
