Chapter 375: Replace the skull with hair, Jushu returns to his heart
With the war in Bingzhou over, a discussion of merits and rewards is naturally indispensable. Unfortunately, Lu Bu still couldn't get out of bed and could only lie on the bed, sharing his inner joy with Cao Xing, who had just woken up from a coma not long ago.
That night, a grand celebration banquet was held in the Prefectural Mufu Mansion. A group of people from Bingzhou and Zhen Yao and his entourage were sitting in the hall, drinking wine from large bowls and eating large pieces of meat. The hustle and bustle lasted until late at night before the generals dispersed happily.
When he woke up the next day, Zhen Yao still felt a headache. He hadn't overeated like this in many years. He vaguely remembered that he had vomited all over the floor after last night, and he didn't know if anyone had seen him in such a mess.
Zhen Yao rubbed his head and reluctantly got up to get dressed. When he saw tea on the table beside him, he quickly took the teapot and poured it into his mouth. After drinking a few sips of tea, his head felt better. Zhen Yao burped, put on his boots and walked outside the house.
Meeting the soldiers in the mansion, I learned from the soldiers that Zhang Liao and Gao Shun had gotten up early and now seemed to be rushing to the barracks to do some important things. Zhen Yao felt that he was idle, so he walked to the room where Zhao Yunba and Yan Rou lived.
Walking into the side courtyard where the two of them lived, they also got up early and were comparing their spear skills. Two long spears were dancing in the courtyard, with the sound of "whirring" wind, and the scene was extremely lively.
Zhen Yao's martial arts skills are sparse, but because he often watches his generals compete in martial arts, his vision is very high. After only watching a few rounds, Zhao Yun is still better than Yan Rou. When the two compete, Zhao Yun is more likely to win. Give Yan Rou some tricks.
"Okay, that's it." After knowing what he wanted to know, Zhen Yao gave up the idea of ??continuing to watch the battle. He waved his hand to signal the two of them to stop, and said to follow me to the barracks. The battle ended yesterday, Yao I haven¡¯t rewarded my soldiers who fought bravely yet.¡±
Hearing this, Zhao Yun and his two men sheathed their guns, wiped their sweat neatly with a towel hanging on a branch, then wore ordinary loose clothes and followed Zhen Yao towards the gate of the Prefectural Mufu Mansion.
Without riding horses, the three of them walked for half a cup of tea before reaching Jinyang Barracks. The guards outside the barracks knew Zhen Yao and the others, so they quickly bowed to give way and asked kindly if they needed someone to guide them.
Zhen Yao is not a roadie. Basically, after visiting a certain place once, he can remember the past seven or eight. He declined the well-intentioned guards and went directly to the inner camp of the barracks. However, the three of them had just walked halfway when they heard a noise coming from ahead.
"Don't kill me, don't kill me." In the big tent where the captured Yuan Jun scribe was being held, Feng Ji knelt down and begged for mercy. Ji also used a trick for the sake of my lord. Now Ji is willing to surrender. I am willing to surrender. I also hope that the two generals will save my life. "
When Zhen Yao and the others came closer, they saw that Zhang Liao and Gao Shun came to the barracks early in the morning to deal with these prisoners. According to Gao Shun's idea, he wanted to kill all these people, but Zhang Liao tried his best to dissuade him and gave up the idea of ??killing everyone.
However, there are some people who can not be killed, but there are some people who cannot be killed, such as Feng Ji, who planned to cause civil strife in Jinyang City, and Ju Shou, who planned a false retreat and ambush. Jushou was very stubborn. Gao Shun said he wanted to kill him, but without even frowning, he stood up and was escorted by two soldiers. But Na Fengji was very unbearable. He cried and made trouble and pretended to be pitiful, just to save his life.
Gao Shun was originally a resolute person, and I still admire a scribe like Ju Shou who has not lost any integrity at all. But when he looked at Feng Ji, he was very disdainful and said these words in a cold voice, after you die, talk to the soldiers under my tent and drag them out and behead them."
"General Gao, wait a minute." Seeing Gao Shun kill people hastily like this, Zhen Yao had to go into the tent to stop Dao Fengji. Although Feng Ji deserved to die, he could not die in the camp. It is better to take them to the graves of those who died that day and use their blood to pay homage to the heroic souls of Bingzhou soldiers. "
When Zhang Liao saw Zhen Yao, he nodded politely and then began to persuade Dao Shuxun that the state pastor was right. Killing prisoners always requires a situation. Killing at will will inevitably lead to illness. "
Zhen Yao and Zhang Liao persuaded each other that Gao Shun was only the agent for the merger of the prefecture and was not the new prefectural pastor, so how could he not consider it. He nodded slightly, took back the blade in his hand, and shouted, "Okay, take these two people away."
With this unexpected incident, Zhen Yao no longer bothered to see his white horse riding. He followed Gao Shun out of the military camp and walked out of the north gate along the streets of the city to a hilltop five miles away from the north gate.
There are graves everywhere on the hilltop, and the dozens of them in front of everyone at this moment, it can be seen that they are newly built without taking a closer look. Standing in front of a tomb, Gao Shun pulled Feng Ji by his collar and asked him to kneel down. He said in a low voice that all the sons, by the way, have come to pay homage to you, along with the thieves. "
"Today, I want to use the head and blood of this thief to comfort the heroic souls of all the heroes. Please open your eyes and take a closer look. You are surrounded by the heroes who died tragically because of your poisonous plan."? Gao Shun pulled out the sword from his waist. At the same time, two soldiers behind him stepped forward at the right time. One on the left and one on the right held Feng Ji in front of the grave, unable to move.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Before Fengji felt any pain, the head rolled three or four times towards the tombstone, scarlet blood spurted out, stained on Gao Shun's clothes and cheeks, looking a little horrified.
A full stick of incense stood under the tombs, and Gao Shuncai turned back to look at Jushou, the first think tank of the Yuan army and the military advisor general who would definitely accompany him when he went on an expedition. Jushuo's expression remained calm, and he didn't take Gao Shun's fierce eyes to heart at all.
As a qualified military advisor, you must first look for yourself when looking for others. The poisonous scholar Jia Xu will have various preservation methods before planning anything; when Guo Jia makes plans for Zhen Yao, he will consider whether he can survive until that day.
As for Jushou, he only plans to win. Even if his life is short and his reputation will be damaged, he will not flinch at all, because he has completely abandoned his "self-consciousness".
"Let's go to Cheng Lian." He turned around and walked straight, and said when he passed by Jushou.
Cheng Lian, as one of the Bingzhou generals who was defeated and killed in an ambush outside Jinyang City, also had a harmonious relationship with Gao Shun, Zhang Liao and others. Therefore, even if defeat is common for military strategists, they will still be angry at Jushou.
Cheng Lian¡¯s grave is at the top of the hill. It is also a newly built grave, and the writing on the tombstone has not been weathered at all. Jushou suddenly stepped forward and looked at the tombstone of the Bingzhou general, and couldn't help but think of the scene that day.
If Cheng Lian hadn¡¯t fought to the death to protect him, Lu Bu would not have been able to escape from the ambush he set. If Lu Bu dies or is captured alive, Bingzhou should already belong to his lord.
For such a general who turned the situation around, Ju Shou was deeply saddened and at the same time respected him very much. So after a moment of silence, Ju Shou said, "Let's do it. If you can die in front of General Cheng Lian's tomb, your life will be in vain."
A strange color flashed across Gao Shun's face, but he couldn't help but take action at this time. He held the handle of the knife with his right hand and was about to pull out the sharp blade that had just been sheathed with blood.
The reason why Zhen Yao was willing to follow the beheading incident was largely because of Ju Shou. As one of the top strategists of the Han Dynasty, Zhen Yao did not want him to withdraw from the stage of history so early. Similarly, being able to bring such a great talent into your account would bring benefits that could not be compared to those of a few cities or acres of land.
Seeing that Gao Shun was about to take action, if he didn't take action at this time, he might not be able to save anyone. He stepped forward, took Gao Shun's right hand, and asked him to slowly sheath the blade. With this strike, Yao was asked to take the place of the general, which was Yao's slightest condolence to General Cheng Lian. "
Gao Shun did not stop Zhen Yao and took a small step back, which was regarded as agreeing with Zhen Yao's approach. Zhen Yao looked at Jushou solemnly and said, "I'm offended." After saying this, he pulled out the sharp sword from his waist and struck Jushou's head.
But the strange thing is that the sword seemed to have struck the air, and Jushou's head was still fine, without even the slightest scratch. Just when everyone thought Zhen Yao had missed, the black hair on Ju Shou's head loosened and fell down.
"Yao thought that it was enough to punish his fault by sending his hair to replace his head." Clear words reached the ears of everyone present, letting everyone understand that he did not make a mistake, but had already planned this.
"Jushou designed to kill Cheng Lian, causing the lord to be seriously injured, and even tens of thousands of soldiers in the army lost their lives." Zhao Yun and others will not hesitate in Zhen Yao's decision. Zhang Liao is not an easy person to kill. Gao Shun said angrily, Zhou Mu also thought he didn't deserve to die? Shouldn¡¯t my Bingzhou son deserve to die?¡±
Gao Shun expressed his appreciation for Ju Shou's behavior of not bowing his head even before death, but he would never stop killing him just because of this "appreciation". Just like when Ju Shou stood in front of Cheng Lian's tombstone, he didn't regret the ambush he set that day.
"How can we be invincible when we are marching and fighting?" Zhen Yao didn't blush at all when he said this, because he relied on his foresight and rarely suffered losses on the battlefield. "Jushou set up an ambush not for a single person in Bingzhou, but for the sake of the entire war situation."
"As counselors, it is their duty to make plans on the battlefield. Just like Fengji, they are just behaving badly. Fengji is a treacherous man and has no backbone to follow the wind. Yao did not stop Uncle Xun from venting his anger. .¡±
"But Jushu was proud and unafraid even when he was about to die. He even mourned for General Cheng Lian. Such a counselor? Couldn't we keep his life? His body, hair and skin, were given to his parents by his parents, and he did not dare to damage them. This is the beginning of filial piety. Stand up and practice the Tao, and become famous in future generations. To show one's parents is the end of filial piety."
"Now that Ju has replaced his head with his hair, his filial piety is no longer complete. Isn't such a harsh punishment enough? Shu Xun is now the agent of Bingzhou to handle all the big and small affairs. Everything should be measured. This is what Yao has in mind. Whether he listens or not depends on Shu Xun's thoughts. ." After saying that, Zhen Yao lifted the sharp sword in his hand upside down and presented it to Gao Shun.
After all, Gao Shun did not take Zhen Yao's sword. He closed his eyes and turned around. When he opened his eyes again, he saw behind Ju Shou.?Open your mouth and say that if the state pastor had not said so today, Shun Ding would not have spared your life. "After that, he waved his sleeves and left, walking down the mountain trail.
"Everyone, Liao, go and see Shu Xun." Gao Shun left angrily. Zhang Liao smiled bitterly at Zhen Yao and others and apologized, then turned around and chased after him.
After Gao Shun and others left, Jushou suddenly opened his eyes and said with tears to Jizhou Mu, do you want to put him in a position of disloyalty and unfilial piety? "
"What is unfilial piety?" Zhen Yao sheathed the sword in his hand and said, "My mother, wife and children are still in the Taoist family, but you are dead and have no intention of raising them. This is the greatest unfilial piety. What is disloyalty?" Being loyal to Yuan Shao alone is the way to be loyal to the emperor in your heart? "
"Think about it for a moment. Yao is not threatening you with the gift of life." After saying this, Zhen Yao also took Zhao Yun and others down the mountain, leaving Ju Shou alone with hairy hair, staring blankly at Cheng. Lian tombstone.
Back in the city, Zhen Yao was in a low mood. He refused Lu Bu's invitation to talk to him about trivial matters and returned to the courtyard alone, looking up at the sky alone.
"Let Gao Shun come here. Bu has something to say to him." At the same time, Zhang Liao, who returned to the city, also told Lu Bu everything about today's events. After Lu Bu listened, he thought for a long time before speaking and said that what Bo Gao said was true. , it is enough to kill Fengji to vent his anger. "
Lu Bu said this, which greatly relieved Zhang Liao's heart. If the lord agreed with Gao Shun to kill all the prisoners, he would be very embarrassed when he was caught between the lord and his new friend.
It didn¡¯t take long for Gao Shun to come to the bedroom, and Lu Bu gave him some advice. After experiencing a catastrophe, Lu Bu¡¯s temperament also changed. At least he would not only pursue the ultimate battle and killing as before.
Cao Xing was also listening silently. As the deputy commander of the Wolf Cavalry under Lu Bu's tent, there was no need to doubt his loyalty. And his temper was even more fiery than Gao Shun's restrained anger.
If this matter falls into his hands, it will be useless to ask for mercy, and he will definitely not let anyone go. However, he was also seriously injured now and could only lie down and listen to every word his lord said to Gao Shun.
Cao Xing, who had always obeyed Lu Bu's words, gave up the idea of ??revenge when he saw that his lord also agreed with Zhen Yao's words. After Gao Shun received Lu Bu's approval, he would naturally not embarrass other prisoners.
In the blink of an eye, two days later, Zhen Yao, who was assisting Gao Shun and Zhang Liao in starting post-war reconstruction work in Bingzhou, received a not so good letter. The letter came from Luoyang. It said that Zhang Fei, who was heading west to Tongguan, encountered Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu's uncle and nephew who suddenly led troops to kill him. The originally good situation suddenly changed. Zhang Jia from Luoyang had already led troops to support him.
The war in Sili changed suddenly, and Zhen Yao could no longer stay in Jinyang safely, so he asked Zhao Yun and Zhao Yun to pack their luggage and prepare to lead their troops out of the city. Then he came to Lu Bu's residence and said goodbye to him.
"The war at Tongguan is urgent, and Bu will not leave an uncle higher than this." After hearing the reason for Zhen Yao's farewell, Lu Bu nodded slightly, and at the same time waved for Zhang Liao to come forward, and then said that Wen Yuan was a capable general under Bu's command, so this time he would let Wen Yuan I will go with you and send five thousand wolf cavalry to accompany you. Bo Gao cannot refuse each other, you and I support each other, as it should be. "
Zhen Yao smiled when he heard this, and joked again that since this was the case, Yao would thank his father-in-law. "
"You are still your father-in-law." Lu Bu quickly acted like a father-in-law. After glaring at Zhen Yao, he cursed: "You have made my general very angry in the past few days."
"This was an urgent matter that day. It was Yao's fault that he did not discuss it with his uncle Xun." Zhen Yao was never stingy in verbally apologizing, and he immediately bowed slightly to Gao Shun.
After two days, Gao Shun's anger was almost gone. Seeing that Zhen Yao really wanted to apologize to him, he quickly supported him. Zhou Mu said something serious. Rishun was also a little angry that day and had made many rude remarks. He apologized to Zhou Mu. . "
After saying some polite words, Zhen Yao no longer wasted any more. He led Zhang Liao out of the Prefectural Mufu Mansion, ordered the white horse cavalry and five thousand wolf cavalry, and then led the troops roaring out of Jinyang City and headed straight to Luoyang in the south. Of course, if Jushou had to leave and finally saved his life, he couldn't leave Jinyang alone.
Since they are all cavalry, even though a large group of soldiers and horses are marching, it will not be delayed much. After spending eight days on the road, Zhen Yao returned to Luoyang City with a group of people.
My lord is most concerned about him now. Gao Lan, who went out of the city to greet him, quickly handed over a battle report to his lord. A battle report happened to be delivered from Tongguan. "
Zhen Yao nodded and took it and opened it to read. There were only a few crosses on it, but it gave an overview of the recent battle situation. Because Zhang Jaw's reinforcements were timely, Zhang Fei's headquarters was not damaged too much, but Yuan's army guarding Tongguan had been defeated.
Now the pass is in the hands of the Dong thieves, and Zhang Ji's uncle and nephew, as reinforcements, are stationed in the southeast of Tongguan. The pass and the pass are horns with each other, and they will threaten Zhang Fei's camp at any time.
"Zilong, I order you to lead your subordinate Baima Yi from Starry Night to Tongguan to help you in the attack."Zhang Ji's uncle and nephew captured Tongguan. "Walking into the Prefect's Mansion, which was also the Yuan Mansion in the past, Zhen Yao said to Wenyuan in a deep voice. I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you to go with Zilong for this battle. I hope Wenyuan can help me."
Zhang Liao came here to join the war. Hearing what Zhen Yao said, he would not refuse Liao. He would do his best to help several generals seize the pass. "
"With Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao heading west, Zhen Yao was relieved. He immediately said in a hurry, "I will have a full lunch here today, take a nap, and lead the troops out of the city at night."
"Nuo" Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao clasped their fists together, and the latter seemed to have taken on the role of Zhen Yao's subordinate general.
That night, Zhen Yao personally sent Zhao Yun and Zhao Yun out of the west gate of Luoyang. Watching tens of thousands of cavalry leave, the corner of his mouth could not help but rise. So what if something unexpected happens in Tongguan? The troops under the tent are strong and strong, and they are not afraid of any surprises.
The next day, Zhen Yao didn't do anything. He took Ju Shou out early in the morning and came to a small courtyard guarded by many soldiers. A courtyard like this has almost become a place where Zhen Yao held important prisoners of war.
The courtyard in front of him was no exception. When Zhen Yao ordered someone to open the door, he walked in and saw a middle-aged man in blue coarse cloth reading bamboo strips under the courtyard.
Zhen Yao didn¡¯t. Ju Shou, who followed him into the courtyard, couldn¡¯t help but lost his voice after seeing the man in front of him. "
"Who's bothering?" It was Tian Feng and Tian Yuanhao who were locked up in this courtyard. Suddenly I heard someone shouting my name, and I couldn't help but frown and look back. However, after seeing the other party's appearance clearly, the impatient words stopped and were replaced by unbelievable surprise and fairness. Didn't you go on an expedition with the lord? meeting? "
When old friends meet, it is inevitable to exchange pleasantries. After the greetings, Jushou told Yuan Shao about his defeat, and even the matter of missing a large amount of hair on his head.
Tian Feng listened silently, and after learning that his lord was defeated, he also sighed helplessly. And it was learned that Zhen Yao cut off his friend's hair in order to save his life. But he couldn't help but feel angry and laugh at Zhen Yao's behavior.
