Chapter 144 Sacrifice Flag
Chapter 144
Shortly after the generals left, a soldier came to Lv Bu with Wang Gui, the governor of Tianshui.
"General, Wang Gui will bring it to you." A soldier brought Wang Gui to take Lv Bu and said.
"Let him come up." Lv Bu said, and then waved his hand to let the soldiers retreat.
"This general, I, Wang Gui, am the governor of Tianshui County. As the head of the county of the Han Dynasty, your people dare to put me under house arrest. The general has to give me an explanation, otherwise when I enter the capital, I will definitely report to the court and participate in your charge of laxity. As soon as Wang Gui came up, he shouted at Lv Bu, trying to scare Lv Bu.
"Hahaha, my subordinates are all rude people. They don't know how to be polite, but they make Lord Taishou laugh. These bastards, I will definitely teach them a lesson. Wang Taishou can rest assured." Lv Bu laughed and comforted Wang Guidao.
"When the general said that, Wang was relieved. The general is the main general of the army, and I believe he will not go of his word. Wang Gui saw that Lv Bu not only did not embarrass himself, but had a kind attitude and immediately became happy. Then he said, "General, there are still important things to go to Beijing. Please let my family go with me for your convenience." Seeing that Lv Bu was easy to talk, Wang Gui immediately wanted to take the opportunity to leave Tianshui.
"Well, Lord Wang wants to leave Tianshui, and Lv Bu will naturally not stop him. However, Lv Bu was ordered to fight in Xiliang, and now the enemy has come in a large force. You are going back to Beijing again. The minds of the people of Tianshui have changed. Lv Bu is incompetent to borrow an object from you to calm the hearts of the people of Tianshui. Please don't refuse. Seeing that Wang Gui wanted to leave Tianshui, Lv Bu sighed and said leisurely.
"Hahaha, although you and I haven't seen each other for a long time, we are as happy at first sight. If the general has anything to say, just say it. As long as Wang Gui has it, he will never refuse." Wang Gui said with a smile.
Wang Gui thought that as long as he could escape from Tianshui, avoid this war and spend some money, it was nothing, so Wang Gui agreed as soon as he heard Lv Bu's words.
"It is impossible for anyone but you to take out such a thing as I said. What I want is your neck and head. Lv Bu said, pointing to Wang Gui's head and saying.
"What? General, are you kidding? I'm the governor of the imperial court. How dare you kill me?" Wang Gui was shocked and finally reflected that Lv Bu actually wanted his head.
"Wang Taishou, now that foreigners have invaded, and the lives of the people in Tianshui are on the eve. Wang himself is the Taishou and does not want to serve the country. He does not think about how to protect the people, but he wants to escape with money and abandon the people and the city. Although Lv Bu's status is not high, he can't imagine what else in the world besides your head can make the people trust the court again and work together with our army to fight against the great enemy. Lv Bu said, and it was reasonable to say it strictly.
That's right. If Lv Bu wants to devote all the strength of the city and protect Tianshui City, he must make the people of Tianshui the same heart and mind. However, the best way to make the people of Tianshui trust him is to kill Wang Gui. On the one hand, he can deter all those who have a fluke, and on the other hand, he can unite all the Tianshui hundred. Last name.
"General, you can't do this. I'm a member of the court. If you do this, you will definitely be pursued by the court." Wang Gui was finally shocked and quickly found the life-saving straw of the imperial court, but obviously Lv Bu would not do this.
"Well, come on. Wang Gui, the governor of Tianshui, fled with money when the enemy invaded. With the Holy Grace, he pulled it out and cut it down. He hung his head on the head of the city as a warning, so that those who had ulterior motives knew it was powerful. Lv Bu snorted coldly and ignored Wang Gui's plea for mercy. He just shouted to the soldiers outside.
"Yes, General." Immediately, a bodyguard rushed in and pulled out Wang Gui, who had collapsed on the ground in fear.
In a short time, there was a bloody head on the gate of Tianshui City. As long as passers-by carefully identify it, they can recognize it. It is the head of their former Taishou Wang Gui. Under Wang Gui's head, an Anming notice was posted, which naturally said Wang Gui's guilt, one of which was particularly eye-catching, that is to say, Wang Gui escaped without authorization and was beheaded to the public. The notice also said that now that the war is approaching, anyone in Tianshui City who escapes without permission will be guilty of the same crime as Wang Gui. This gives a warning to those who want to escape, so that they have to stay in Tianshui and defend Tianshui with the officers and soldiers.
"General, there is a military reward." As soon as Lv Bu finished dealing with Wang Gui's matter, a soldier rushed in and reported to Lv Bu.
"Oh? What military information? Let's talk about it. Lv Bu was overjoyed. What Lv Bu lacked the most now was about the enemy's military situation. However, not long after he was released, he would have to wait until tomorrow at the earliest. What kind of military information can he have now?
"General, this man said he came from Longxi." Just as Lv Bu was suspicious, two bodyguards came to Lv Bu with a soldier who was already covered in blood and said.
Longxi is a county in Tianshui County near Xiliang. Is it that Longxi is still in the hands of the Han army? Did this person come to report the news? An idea flashed through Lv Bu's mind.
"General, come on, come on, save Longxi." The soldier, who was covered in blood, took out a white scroll stained with blood from his arms and gave it to Lv Bu. Then he said something that was unclear, and then he died with both hands.
"He is dead. Take it down and bury it well." Lv Bu took the white silk in the soldier's hand and said tentatively in front of the soldier's nose.
"Yes." The soldier answered and carried the dead soldier out.
At this time, Lv Bu unfolded the white silk and looked at it carefully. It turned out that this was a blood book. The book said, "We are soldiers of the Celestial Empire. We should try our best to protect the people of the Celestial Empire. However, the enemy is strong and I am weak. The city is only in the middle of the moment. If we can save Tianshui, we can save it. If we can't save it, we will plan early, so as not to be caught off guard by the Qiang people and miss our Han Dynasty." The last signature of this blood book is a person named Deng Fan. Who is this person? Lv Bu has never heard of it.
"Come on, gather the generals and hold a military conference." Lv Bu shouted at the bodyguard outside.
Not long after, Dian Wei, Wei Xu, Zang Ba, Song Xian, Hou Cheng and Cheng Lian came one after another. Lv Bu let the generals watch the blood book he had just received, and the generals suddenly appeared three feet.
"General, fight, although I don't know who this Deng Fan is, since this man is so backbone, we can't help but save him." After reading the blood book, Wei Xu said first.
"The prince's battle today is really not very enjoyable. Why don't we go to fight his mother and let these Qiang people know how powerful we are." Dian Wei shouted, but this time he jumped out to support him.
"Yes, General, let's fight." The generals also said.
"That's good. The military heart is available." Lv Bu nodded to the generals and turned to Cheng Lian and said, "How far is Longxi from here? How long will it take to arrive?
"General Qi, Longxi is less than a hundred miles away from here. If you leave now, it is estimated that you will arrive early tomorrow morning." Cheng Lian said.
"Okay, that's good. Then let me ask you how many people do you need to defend Tianshui? Lv Bu then asked.
"This?" Lv Bu's problem will make Cheng Lian difficult. Lv Bu obviously meant to save Longxi, but Longxi wanted to save him, and Tianshui's defense could not be relaxed. Since Cheng Lian is the snake of Tianshui, let's see how many people need to defend Tianshui. As for the person who defends Tianshui, naturally he can't follow Lv Bu to Longxi.
Cheng Lian's eyes swept over the generals. As soon as the generals came into contact with Cheng Lian's eyes, they naturally turned their faces. Obviously, they did not want to stay. At this time, Cheng Lian found Zang Ba smiling at him. Cheng Lian immediately reacted:
"The defense of Tianshui is enough for me and General Zang Ba."
"Okay, in that case, Zang Ba and Cheng Lian stayed to defend the city, and they and the generals went to war with me." Seeing that Cheng Lian had chosen a good person, Lv Bu gave the order.
"Wait, lord, why should I stay with Cheng Lian?" Zang Ba was reacting at this time and hurriedly protested to Lv Bu.
"This." Lv Bu can't explain Zang Ba's problem for a while. Lv Bu can't say, 'It's Cheng Lian who chose you'. Then how can Lv Bu lead the generals in the future? He can only say to Zang Ba earnestly, "This Tianshui is our home. Let you come to guard Tianshui. That's the trust of me and the generals in you. You have to be energetic and don't make any mistakes."
"Hahaha, that's it. Since everyone looks at me, don't worry. I will definitely keep Tianshui. Zang Ba said solemnly.
"But before I leave, I have one more important thing to do. I ordered to bring all the thousand prisoners upside down to the edge of the Wei River, and I will sacrifice the flag with their heads. Lv Bu was going to sacrifice the flag early tomorrow morning, but in the war years, he could only be in a hurry to follow the power. This thousand people were not a little power. As soon as Lv Bu led the troops away, this thousand people were less controlled. Maybe he would make some trouble. It's better to understand it earlier and save worry. Besides, now the Tianshui War is coming, and there is no Food feeds these prisoners.
Half an hour later, on the edge of the Wei River near Tianshui City, there were crowds of people, and groups of old and young people came to behead their heads, shoulder to shoulder one after another. In front of the people, there were rows of soldiers standing neatly to witness all this. Before the soldiers were the thousand prisoners tied to the ground and the executioners who were ready to cut off their heads with ghost knives.
"Gentlemen, brothers and sisters in Tianshui County, fathers and fellow villagers? Look carefully. The people in front of you are the Qiang soldiers who once wanted to destroy our homeland like wolves and tigers. Today, I, Lv Bu, will use their blood to dye the Wei River that nurtures you red, so that everyone in the world knows that I, Lv Bu, is leading you to defend the Han Dynasty and the Han family. The achievements of all of you will be like the blood of these Qiang people, dyeing the red Wei River and the red Yellow River, and will be respected by the whole Han Dynasty. Lv Bu raised his arm and roared at the sky. This is not only Lv Bu's demonstration to the Qiang people. It also took the opportunity to kill the Qiang people to unite the people of Tianshui and improve their morale.
