Chapter 37
Wenling!
Under the dark night, torches flashed with light, and a strong smell of blood floated in the huge cave.
In a magnificent underground palace, corpses were tangled and messy.
Emperor Xiaoling!
In front of a huge stone tablet, Lu Bu and Xu Rong had a hint of nervousness on their faces, even though they had burned incense and prayed once.
"General!"
The two led hundreds of their confidants, and at this time, the elites reported after slaughtering the people here.
Xu Rong looked at all this, nervous and a little nervous, and couldn't help but bow to Lu Bu on the side, "General Lu, you two of us will decide, let's listen to you."
Modesty and no opinion? No! It should be said that it is shrewd.
Regarding Xu Rong, Lu Bu nodded silently and accepted his status as respected.
He turned his head to look at the confidants they brought, and ordered directly: "Do everyone die first."
promise!
However, only more than 300 soldiers shouted in a deep voice, and the remaining more than 300 people looked at them one by one, and did not listen to Lu Bu's orders at all.
Suddenly, Lu Bu had some playful and mocking face, and he couldn't help but turn his head to look at Xu Rong, while Xu Rong's face looked a little ugly, as if he was deliberately talking about it.
"Why are you all standing there? General Lu is the main here. Even if I am the general, I have to listen to General Lu."
With a angrily scolding, the remaining more than 300 soldiers clasped their fists at Lu Bu and said to him.
The soldiers went down spontaneously to start cleaning the tombs. After Lu Bu and Xu Rong met, Xu Rong humbly lowered his head and fisted, indicating his apology.
But Lu Bu nodded and chuckled, "General Xu is indeed good at leading troops."
Xu Rong could only respond with a dry smile, and he could achieve this position under Dong Zhuo's command. Moreover, the name of Xu Rong was among the five generals of Dong Zhuofeng. From this point, we can see that this person is definitely outstanding.
"Master!"
After the cleaning was completed in a short while, when the soldiers came back to ask for instructions, Xu Rong, who was beside him, quickly lowered his head and clasped his fists at Lu Bu, as if he said I'm listening to you, you meant the boss.
And Lu Bu couldn't help but curse, the cunning Xu Rong.
After taking a deep breath, after praying in his heart, Lu Bu respectfully bowed to the epitaph of "Emperor Xiaoling".
The moment he raised his head, Lu Bu shouted at the soldiers behind him with a cold expression on his face: "Respect the order of Taiwei Dong! Dig!"
Rumble ~
The soldiers behind him rushed into the burial rooms like wolves and tigers, and rudely took out all the precious jewelry and other things.
One piece after another was taken out and placed in a wooden carriage box that had been prepared long ago.
Emperor Xiaoling! This is the posthumous title of the late emperor Liu Hong after his death. In other words, Dong Zhuo asked the two of them to take advantage of the opportunity to steal jewelry from the tomb when Empress Dowager He was buried.
After all, Empress Dowager He was the empress of Emperor Xiaoling, and he must be buried together after his death, so the burial of the Empress Dowager had to open the tomb of the late emperor Liu Hong.
Outside Wenling! Looking at the boxes of wealth filled with goods, Xu Rong and Lu Bu had no greed or a look of happiness on their faces.
Tomb robbers! He even stole the tomb of the late emperor who had just passed away in the Han Dynasty. At this time, Xu Rong looked like he was crying but without tears, as ugly as if his parents had died.
This is obviously to let him take the blame, and it is also for Lu Bu to show him.
Dong Zhuo obviously wanted to force Lu Bu to rely on him.
But Lu Bu looked straight at the jewelry in front of him and felt a turbulent heart.
‘Dong Zhuo took advantage of the time when Empress Dowager He was buried, and opened Wenling (tomb of Emperor Ling of Han), and asked people to steal the treasures therein.’
The strange book "Three Kingdoms" records that it happened again, and except for the changes in time, almost everything happened.
"Master, is it?"
A confidant soldier walked beside Lu Bu and whispered carefully, while Xu Rong, who was beside him, pretending to hear nothing, lowered his head.
The soldiers' words also woke Lu Bu up, looking at Xu Rong's appearance and the soldiers' careful requests.
Suddenly, a cruel sneer appeared on the corner of Lu Bu's mouth. He took the blame for killing the empress dowager of the dynasty and stealing the tomb of the late emperor. What else he dared not do?
After seeing Xu Rong, who was angry, Lu Bu couldn't help but sneer when he saw Xu Rong on the side looking like he was quail with his head shrank.
"Since I have taken it, I will take it all clean and select some of them for me to take it back to the mansion."
promise!
The soldiers were about to take the order, but Lu Bu raised his hand to stop him from leaving.
"Remember to send two boxes of jewelry to General Xu."
Lu Bu said this with the smile on his face, and Xu Rong, who was beside him, raised his head anxiously after hearing this. He did not look like he had just pretended to be stupid.
"No~No~"
Xu Rong, who was stuttering, hurriedly wanted to shake off the thing, but when he looked up, he faced Lu Bu's sneer, and he didn't say the last words.
"General Xu, it seems that you are not welcomed in the Xiliang army, otherwise how could you end up like this?"
The two of them are also sympathetic. Dong Zhuo obviously deliberately tainted Lu Bu's reputation, which forced Lu Bu to rely on him Dong Zhuo.
Xu Rong was pitiful. Dong Zhuo could not always let Lu Bu in Bingzhou take the blame. He had to find someone, but his own. If he calculated carefully, he was the only one.
Moreover, Lu Bu did not want to hide from Xu Rong from the beginning, but instead secretly signaled the soldiers to mention the matter in front of Xu Rong.
Regardless of whether things will happen in the future, he must find allies at the moment, which means forming a clique!
Xu Rong was his choice, and Xu Rong could understand Lu Bu's approach even more clearly.
"General Xu, you are also a smart person. My reputation for killing the Empress Dowager has long been terrible. All the officials of the court, all the troops, are now the only generals and Buer."
Lu Bu's naked act of trying to win over him and stand on the same line with him suddenly made Xu Rong speechless, but he had to say that he was moved.
In the center of court, the court, it is impossible for anyone to escape without purity.
"In the future, just follow the general's orders, and follow the horse's lead!"
Xu Rong clasped his fists solemnly and chose to stand on the line under Dong Zhuo from now on, which further showed that he only listened to you, Lu Bu.
Of course, Xu Rong only saw that Dong Zhuo was powerful in the court and the country, and the factions under his command would definitely become more and more intense in the future. He didn't want to engage in factional struggles, nor did he have the strength.
After all, the factions under Dong Zhuo are obviously divided into four parts: the Xiliang generals, the former Luoyang Imperial Guards, the Bingzhou Army, and of course, the officials who are now subdued and promoted by Dong Zhuo.
For example: Xun Shuang, Han Rong, Chen Ji, Cai Yong, etc., as well as Han Fu, Liu Dai, Kong Yichang, Zhang Zi, Kong Rong, Ying Shao, Zhang Miao, etc., held important positions such as local prefects, and even ignored past grudges. They were granted the title of prefects to Yuan Shao, Wang Kuang, Bao Xin and others who disliked themselves and abandoned their posts and left their posts to show reconciliation.
Dong Zhuo's political skills are not inferior at all. He can be said to be both kind and powerful. After killing people to establish authority, he also showed his magnanimity to the people of the world.
After seeing Xu Rong's bowing, Lu Bu couldn't help but smile, "Haha~ I'll bother General Xu in the future."
What Xu Rong saw was joining Lu Bu's faction. Even if the faction fights in the future, he would be just a subordinate and would not be involved too much.
Lu Bu's deep smile made Xu Rong shudder, not understanding why.
Xu Rong didn't know that Lu Bu was not just watching factional disputes, but now he was trying to win over people, and there were even more things that lasted. Once it happened, he needed to protect himself and stay in the world.
