The Reincarnation of Lu Bu at the End of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 120 Alive, Dead

The night was dark like ink, the wind was cold and desolate, and when I looked up, I couldn't see a single star.

The fire in the city had been burning for a long time, and after it was extinguished, the Guangyan city was still warm.

On the city tower, a few torches were dotted here and there, but there were no night watchmen patrolling.Lu Bu sat with his back on a crenel of the city wall, his left leg was arched and stepped on the crenel, the other leg was hanging on the ground, and the cold Fang Tianhalberd stood on the wall not far away.He folded his hands around his knees, leaned back slightly, his eyes looking up at the sky were empty and lifeless, and the dim light of the fire shone on his handsome face, making him look particularly lonely.

At this time, a thin figure came up from the stone stairs below the city. Following the light of the fire, he quickly spotted Lu Bu, walked towards him with light steps, and asked in a rather relaxed tone: "General, it's so late. Why don't you go to rest?"

Lu Bu seemed to be in a daze and did not respond.

Xi Ce had no choice but to walk up to Lu Bu and softly called 'General' twice again.

Only then did Lu Bu regain his senses, shifted his gaze to the tricks, and pulled himself together, "Sir, why are you here?"

Guangyan City was able to take down without losing a single soldier, it all depends on the strategizing of this young man who has no martial arts in front of him.But Lu Bu always felt in his heart that he couldn't see through or guess something about what the play was hiding from him.

Xi Ce pressed his arms against the parapet, leaned forward slightly, and looked a little carelessly at the endless darkness.When he glanced at the bandage on Lu Bu's arm from the corner of his eye, Joce became a little surprised: "General, are you injured? Is there anyone else in Guangyan City who can hurt you?"

Lu Bu looked down at his forearm, which was wrapped with several layers of bandages, and shook his head slightly, "Mr. Lao is concerned, it's just a small injury, and Bu is fine."

After the rescue of the little girl failed, most of the house collapsed.It happened that Hu Che'er passed by here, he saw the red tutu parked in the middle of the street, and saw Fang Tian's painted halberd thrown in the courtyard, he raised his voice and called the general several times, but no one answered.

Hu Che'er suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, regardless of the raging fire in the house, he rushed in and found Lu Bu in the house.

It's just that Lu Bu at that time seemed to be possessed by an evil spirit and his soul was taken away. He knelt there without moving, letting the mountains fall and the ground crack.

Hu Che'er yelled several times, but Lu Bu didn't answer a word.The situation was critical, and Hu Che'er couldn't care less. He directly picked up Lu Bu and carried it on his shoulders, and rushed out with all his strength. The charcoal falling from the roof splashed on Lu Bu's arm, leaving a big scar.

As soon as the two stepped forward, the huge house completely collapsed and turned into ruins.

Back then at the Zhuohe Ferry, Lu Bu spared Hu Che'er's life, but now Hu Che'er rescued him with all his might, which also corresponds to the old saying "karma recurs, good and evil are rewarded".

If Lu Bu didn't say anything, Xi Ce naturally wouldn't know the danger. Seeing the sadness on Lu Bu's face, he couldn't help asking, "The general is blaming himself for the souls of the dead in this city."

"They are innocent." Lu Bu's answer was a tacit agreement.

The lights were faint, illuminating the faces of the two people.

Xi Ce sighed, and spoke slowly after a while: "I know the general doesn't like to hear some things, but Xi still wants to say them. In war, no one is innocent, and no one, including the general, will fight to the death. The same is true for the little girl I saved. Also, don’t you think it’s too reckless, General, to risk your life to save an insignificant person and almost get yourself buried in a sea of ​​flames?”

When they came, Xi Ce learned from Cao Xing that the Wolf Cavalry Camp had dug up a corpse from the ruins of the small courtyard. girl.

enough!

Xi Ce's words were like thousands of steel needles piercing into Lu Bu's heart, piercing Lu Bu's heart dripping with blood.This young man, who is known as the "parachutist" among the Xianbei people, stood up abruptly, looked down at the play from a high position, his face was full of violence, like a wild beast that could rush towards his face at any time, and roared angrily: "She It's just a child, what's wrong with her! Could it be that you want to tell me that she also murders and sets fire, which is a heinous crime!"

Xi Ce raised his head. He seemed to have seen Lu Bu's blackened posture more than once. Lu Bu's eyes were full of anger, rage, bloodthirsty and the deepest sadness.

"War has always been about winners and losers. You can't dominate others, so it can only be used as a bargaining chip in this war. Since it is a bargaining chip, you are not qualified to talk about life and death."

The words are a bit cruel, but they are also indisputable facts.

How could Lu Bu, who was constantly fighting on the battlefield, not know, but he still couldn't accept it. Maybe it was because the little girl looked a little like Yan Wei, or it reminded Lu Bu of the little guy who called him daddy in his dream. He slammed into the wall fiercely, gritted his teeth and said in hatred: "If I don't receive the three-day general order to attack the city, will she and the people in the city not die?"

"You know, she sweetly called my big brother. At that time, my finger was less than two feet away from her, but I watched her being submerged in the ruins by the falling bricks and tiles. I was so stupid. How stupid! If I had just run in and brought her out, nothing would have happened, why would I have rested there! Why!!!”

Lu Bu couldn't hide his inner emotions, his eyes were red with tears, he felt guilty and blamed himself for all the faults.

If possible, Lu Bu would rather be buried in the ground.

Xi Ce stood aside, looking at Lu Bu quietly. This man who looks extremely powerful on the outside is actually gentler than anyone else on the inside.

After a while, Lu Bu's mood gradually calmed down.

Xi Ce was about to go to the city, but Lu Bu stopped him and asked how he forced the Xianbei people to abandon the city.

The plot had no intention of concealing it, and simply revealed the whole thing like a bamboo tube pouring beans.

It turns out that the ploy used Chen Fu as a hidden pile of Xianbei people, and asked him to write a secret letter to Kaqi, saying that Zhang Yi had led the army around and was going to cut off Kaqi's retreat, and joined Lu Bu in a flanking attack to attack Guangyan .

After receiving the letter, Kaqi would definitely send someone to investigate, and the prank also made Wei Musheng, who was on the way here, accompany Zhang Yi under the banner, so his feet were exposed.

Kaqi is not stupid, even very smart.If Zhang Yi and Lv Bu attacked back and forth, he knew that the thousands of people in the city alone would not be able to hold on, so when the scouts reported that there were indeed Han troops surrounding them, he made a decisive decision and simply abandoned the city to preserve his strength.

Before leaving, it is natural that even if the soldiers under his command burn, kill and loot, they will grab what they like, smash what they can't finish, and just set fire to what they can't finish.

Xi Ce's strategy can be said to be extremely exciting, using Kaqi's psychology, deliberately intimidating the snake, and occupying Guangyan without a single soldier.But Lu Bu didn't have the slightest bit of joy on his face. He looked at Joce, and even said with a little disappointment: "So you knew early on that the people in the city would not escape death."

Faced with Lu Bu's questioning, Xi Ce fell silent.

"Human life is so worthless in your eyes?" Standing on the tower that was still warm, Lu Bu actually felt a little chilly.

Xi Ce still didn't answer, just said 'sleepy', left Lu Bu aside, turned and walked down the city.

In the troubled times, one can either lie lowly at the bottom and be trampled underfoot, letting mermaid be eaten by mermaids, or stand at the highest place and trample everyone underfoot.

One day, you will understand the principle of the death of a general, general.

After this disaster, Guangyan City was turned into ruins, more than half of the houses collapsed, and the people had no living.

After burying the dead, Lu Bu withdrew out of the city with the wolf cavalry battalion, and still camped in the original camp.

At noon, a few miles away from the camp, a large group of cavalry troops came rushing forward, flying dust all over the sky, the number of them was no less than [-].

Seeing this, Song Xian, who was in charge of patrolling at noon, immediately ordered to enter the state of preparation for battle, personally led Baiqi forward, and sternly shouted: "Who is here!"

Seeing Song Xian, the cavalry leader stopped marching, and a rare smile appeared on his stern face: "Why, Song Xian, you don't recognize me?"

Hearing this, Song Xianchao, who was still a little puzzled before, took a closer look at the general, it was you!

In the camp, Lu Bu was discussing matters with Cao Xing and others.

The curtain was lifted by Song Xian, and this usually dull man seemed quite happy at this time, "Boss, look, who is here!"

From outside the raised curtain, a young man in military uniform walked in, with a dark complexion and sharp eyebrows.After seeing Lu Bu, the young man couldn't restrain the excitement on his face. He clasped his fists and knelt down on one knee, shouting loudly, "Wei Musheng, pay respects to the general! The general is mighty!"

Lu Bu was stunned for a moment, if Wei Musheng hadn't declared his family name, he would have almost failed to recognize him.I remember that before leaving Yunzhong County, Wei Musheng was still a white and clean student. It has only been so long, how come he has become so dark.

In contrast, when he learned that the person in front of him was Wei Musheng, Cao Xing, who was also a military officer, widened his eyes and his face was full of disbelief.He went up and circled around Wei Musheng twice, and after confirming that it was Wei Musheng, he slapped Wei Musheng on the shoulder abruptly, laughing, "Wei Musheng, you're fine, look at your equipment, it's like the Xianbei people Let's fish for oil and water there. Come, turn around twice to have a look, tsk tsk tsk, with this outfit, our boss is not as majestic as you."

"Cao Xing, you are still the same as before, you like to speak in **."

"Wei Musheng, who caress about your uncle, I want to challenge you one-on-one."

The two bickered for a while before Wei Musheng changed the subject to the right track, "General, I have brought good news."
