Although…

It’s a little sinister!

You know, according to historical records, before the Yellow Turban Rebellion, there were 50 million Han people, but by the Battle of Chibi, there were only more than 14 million people left. As for the Battle of Yiling, there were only 9 million people left in the Han Dynasty.

Not to mention the more than 7 million people during the Western Jin Dynasty!

The death of the population includes diseases, plagues... and also losses caused by wars!

At this point, there wasn't much Lu Yu could do.

However, he still wants to keep as many people alive as possible. After all, the future Wei Dynasty will also need population to build!

Therefore…

Many times, when making plans, he did not choose the kingly and domineering way, but instead used some strategies and calculations... to defeat the enemy without fighting!

Perhaps, this is another kind of "preservation" mentioned in "The Art of War"!

certainly…

This is unfair to Zuo Xian Wang Maodun;

Even Zhao Yun, who went south and became the "Candle Dragon", was unfair. But compared to thousands of people, one person's sacrifice and dedication seemed so insignificant!

"Tap..."

As Lu Yu walked away, Guo Jia also left this prison tacitly.

Leave this space to He Yan and Zuo Xian Wang Maodun.

As for this passionate Maodun, his eyes were about to burst... He gradually became gentle and understood everything.

To know…

Historically, he has always been a passionate person.

If Cai Zhaoji had not met Lu Yu according to the wheel of history, he would have been abducted by the Zuoxian King Maodun on his way home after the death of his first husband Wei Zhongdao and his father Cai Yong!

After that...she became the most noble princess in the court of King Zuoxian of the Southern Xiongnu.

He composed the "Eighteen Beats of Hu Jia" that goes like "I did nothing at the beginning of my life, and the Han Dynasty declined after I was born. The heaven is unkind and brings chaos, and the earth is unkind and makes me meet this time."

even…

When Cao Cao took Cai Zhaoji back to the Central Plains, the Zuoxian King of the Southern Xiongnu became ill because of excessive longing and worry. He fell ill and died.

He is a rare "love type" among Hu people!

now…

Facing He Yan, Zuo Xian Wang Modun, who knew everything, spoke in a tragic tone.

"Can I ask you one last question?"

"I know what you want to ask." He Yan replied immediately. He turned around and closed his eyes... but did not leave the last two words of his answer.

Loved it!

It is true that he had a purpose in disguising himself as a woman and getting close to King Zuoxian.

But... there are so many things about this man that attract him. When He Yan fully assumed the role of "Cao Mu", he really couldn't help himself for three months!

but…

After today, the Southern Huns will no longer have a "King Zuoxian"!

tread!

tread!

As He Yan walked away, everything in the prison was silent except for the hesitant sigh of Zuo Xian Wang Mao Dun!

"well…"

"well!"

…

…

The sun has risen, and Cao Cao is sitting in the government office in Yecheng. Beside him, Xu Chu and Huben's army stand waiting, as if they are waiting for someone.

Just then...

The sound of "tapping" footsteps came one after another.

Shen Pei was tied up and escorted over by the Huben Army.

Also coming with him were Tian Feng, Cui Yan, Xu Yuan, and Xin Pi...

actually…

After the judge was caught last night, Xinpi was furious. He rushed to the cell, whipped him with a riding crop, whipped him hard and cursed.

Today... when he saw Shen Pei again, Xin Pi uttered a sentence coldly.

"Today, you are dead!"

You must know that Xinpi's family members all died tragically at the hands of the judge.

Coupled with the hatred of the "Ruying Clan" for the "Jizhou Talents", his hatred for Shen Pei... has been going on for a long time.

"It's because of people like you that Jizhou was destroyed!" At this moment, Shenpei endured the pain and added viciously when he walked to Xinpi's side.

"As for...it's just you? Can you decide my life or death?"

Shen Pei turned his attention to Cao Cao.

Seeing Shen Pei, Cao Cao originally stood up, but he seemed to remember something and sat down again... The whole person seemed calm and composed.

To know…

Before coming to Yecheng, Cao Cao specifically talked with Lu Yu about the trial match.

Yu'er's evaluation of him was very high and positive, but there was only one thing. It was impossible for the judge to surrender! No matter what!

Cao Cao believed Yu'er's words, so...he did not personally untie him like other generals, but just sat here.

"Shen Zhengnan, I haven't seen you for a long time, right?"

Cao Cao spoke...

He and Shen Pei are old acquaintances.

"Huh!" The judge snorted coldly and said nothing.

Cao Cao continued: "Zhengnan? Do you know who opened the city gate today?"

"Who?" A glint flashed in Shen Pei's eyes.

"Your nephew Shenrong!" Cao Cao clapped his hands, and his nephew Shenrong, who was the judge in the back hall, walked out quickly. When he came to Cao Cao, he raised his hands and saluted. "Prime Minister Cao."

"It turns out...it's you, kid!" Shen Pei's face suddenly turned pale. "It's the inadequacy of a kid that got me to where I am now! You kid deserve to die!"

"Uncle..." Facing Shen Pei's accusation, Shen Rong straightened his chest and showed no signs of cowardice. "Uncle only thought about his own loyalty. Did he ever think about the continuation of the family? Did he ever think about the lives and deaths of tens of thousands of people and soldiers?

!Foolish loyalty cannot be done!”

"Ha ha…"

With the topic of Shen Rong, Cao Cao suddenly stood up and walked to Shen Pei. "Zhengnan, your temperament is still the same as before, resolute, stubborn, extreme, and hate evil as much as hatred!"

"Even if you are ruling the world with such a temperament, you can't escape becoming a scheming villain, turning your hands into clouds and rain in the field of power! Of course, in the face of big rights and wrongs, your mind is still sober...

You hate Guo Tu, Feng Ji and others for tearing the Yuan family's foundation in Nuo Da into pieces. When you heard that Xin Pi surrendered to me, you were filled with righteous indignation and killed his whole family! What a pity, what a pity... You and I are destined to be different!

"

"Ha ha…"

Hearing this, Xin Pi laughed sadly. "Cao Ah Man, I attacked the city a few days ago. I only regret that I couldn't shoot you! Come on, give me a good time."

"The whole house is full of surrendered prisoners, but I am the only one who is loyal to the Death Festival. Even if I go to the underworld, I will be better off than you who are still alive. Hurry...cut me!"

Speaking of which…

Cao Cao lowered his eyes and waved his hand...

"Kill him!"

Immediately, some tiger soldiers escorted the judge to the execution ground!

"My king is in the north, but I want to die facing the north!"

Shen Pei Youzi shouted, he turned around and knelt to the north...

"Whoosh..."

The big knife was swung and blood splattered on the spot!

It is true that Shen Pei was not a successful person, and even... among the Three Kingdoms, he was not considered a hero, but... he still made future generations awe-inspiring.

On the contrary...Xi Zhi was a little surprised.
