Three Kingdoms: I choose Xiao Qiao and Da Qiao, why are you crying, Diao Chan?

Chapter 403 Zhuge Village Man! (Thanks to the inspiration from book friend 2024…3539!!)
Although Lu Bu has always been reluctant to massacre civilians.

However, this time, the people of Daze Township helped Liu Bei's army to drug Wei Xu's army, causing him to lose 7,000 troops!

If they hadn't used anesthetics, the loss would have been at least reduced by half!
Even if it was half of that, that would still be more than 3,000 people...

The people of Daze Township killed seven of his men!
If this kind of revenge is not taken, I am afraid that the soldiers under my command will also feel resentful.

Seeing that Lu Bu really ordered to kill them, the people of Daze Township suddenly cried out in fear and knelt down to beg for mercy.

However, Lu Bu ignored them and turned away.

Then he heard miserable cries coming from behind him...

Lu Bu sighed slightly.

He suddenly understood why Cao Cao liked to massacre cities.

When a person's status reaches a certain level and he can decide the life and death of the lower classes at will.

This feeling of being able to influence others at will does feel good.

But he still felt distressed when he thought about those living, defenseless lives that died because of his words.

But there is really no way this time.

This time, the people of Daze Township were clearly helping Liu Bei's army and indirectly caused the deaths of 7,000 of their own people.

In order to boost morale and comfort the troops, he had to do so.

Without giving it any further thought, Lu Bu immediately ordered his army to rest in Daze Township. He also found a quiet place to stay and had a good night's rest.

When it was bright, Lu Bu woke up at Liu Ye's call.

Feeling the accumulated fatigue in his body disappear, Lu Bu's expression finally became much more relaxed.

If he had not been in poor condition last night, he would never have been knocked off his horse during the fight with Guan Yu.

Fortunately, Guan Yu did not notice his fatigue, otherwise if he insisted on fighting him, he might not be defeated...

Lu Bu opened the door, looked at Liu Ye standing at the door, and asked:

"How is the army's rest going?"

Liu Ye looked at the man who had successfully stopped Zhuge Liang's scheme, and his expression became more respectful:

"My lord, the army has finished its rest and can return to Xiang County at any time to join General Wen Pin."

Lu Bu nodded slightly.

Although seven thousand men were lost this time, according to Huang Gai's report, Guan Yu also lost one or two thousand men.

After all, four hundred gunpowder cans and countless upgraded rockets are not to be trifled with.

After lunch, Lu Bu immediately ordered his army to join Wen Pin...

the other side.

When the news that Guan Yu suddenly came to support Lu Bu and all the people in Daze Township were slaughtered reached Xiaopei.

Zhuge Liang, who was drawing a map of mountains and rivers, suddenly showed an expression of disbelief!
"What did you say?!"

Zhuge Liang grabbed Mi Zhu's sleeve and asked in surprise:
"Lü Bu actually supported Wei Xu's army? How is this possible!

“It would take at least two days to get from Xiang County to Daze Township by horseback!
"Even if Lu Bu broke my Eight Stone Soldiers Formation and Fire Bull Formation, there is no reason for him to think that I would attack Wei Xu's army!"

Seeing the young man showing such an inappropriate expression for the first time, Mi Zhu's heart was also stirred up, and he stammered to comfort him:
"Military Advisor, calm down. According to General Guan's report, the enemy lost at least 5,000 men in this battle!

"Our army suffered very little loss, so this result is completely acceptable..."

Zhuge Liang sighed and waved his hand:

"I don't care about the outcome of this battle. I just feel sorry for the thousands of people living in Daze Township..." "If I had known that we would fail this time, I shouldn't have let the people get involved.

"Or they should have been organized to evacuate Daze Township in a timely manner afterwards...

"I didn't expect that Lu Bu, who never attacked ordinary people, would be so cruel this time!
"As expected, the most unpredictable thing is the human heart..."

Seeing the young military advisor's face full of self-blame, Mi Zhu was also quite moved, but he could only comfort him:
"Uncle Liu has always been kind to the people in his territory.

“Now that the enemy has invaded our territory, they have died a worthy death defending their hometown.

"Military Advisor, there is no need to be too sad. What we should do now is to avenge the people of Daze Township!"

After listening to Mi Zhu's words, Zhuge Liang gradually calmed down.

He sighed heavily and nodded slightly:
"Zi Zhong is right. Currently, only about 5,000 soldiers of Wei Xu's army have been killed.

"The remaining people will join Lü Bu's army, which will number about 50,000 people. They will definitely continue to attack Xiaopei.

"In this case, I, the military advisor, will tell them to come with a life, and return without one!"

…………

When Lu Bu led Wei Xu's army to meet up with Wen Pin, he also breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that no matter how wise Zhuge Liang was, he did not expect that he would suddenly go to support Wei Xu.

He did not use any strategy to deal with Wen Pin who was waiting here.

Lu Bu immediately gathered his troops, a total of 51,000 people, and continued to march towards Xiaopei City in a mighty manner!
As for the Xiang County town they passed on the way, it unsurprisingly became a deserted city.

Although Xiang County was the county seat of Pei State, it was located in the central part of Pei State, making it inconvenient to cooperate with Liang State and Pengcheng State.

Moreover, Zhuge Liang deliberately abandoned this big city with the intention of dispersing his own military forces.

So Lu Bu was not fooled, but just ordered his soldiers to walk around the city.

After making sure that there were no ambushed troops in the city, they no longer cared about the empty city and continued to head north towards Xiaopei City.

This time, there was nothing unusual on the road.

I think Zhuge Liang knew that he could no longer stop them from approaching Xiaopei City, so he simply stopped using any tricks.

The army finally arrived at the city of Xiaopei as they wished.

When Lu Bu arrived at the foot of the city wall, he suddenly heard the sound of a piano coming from the city wall.

The sound of the piano was gentle and soft at first, but soon became sonorous and turbulent, as if there was endless murderous intent hidden in it!
Lu Bu did not make a sound to interrupt, but waited quietly for Zhuge Liang to finish playing the song.

After playing the song, Zhuge Liang slowly stood up and looked at the familiar figure with imposing bearing under the city wall, with a hint of complexity in his eyes.

After three fights, even though he was at loggerheads with Lu Bu, he couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration for him.

If we can join forces with them to take over the world, not to mention the thirteen states, it would not be impossible to take over a wider area.

But unfortunately, fate has its way with people.

In the end, only one side can survive between him and the other side...

Zhuge Liang picked up the Suzaku feather fan.

Although it was early winter, he still fanned himself gently towards his shoulders out of habit.

Seeing that Zhuge Liang remained silent, Lü Bu took the initiative to greet him:
"Zhuge Village Man, long time no see!"

Facing Lü Bu's insults, Zhuge Liang was already used to it, and replied indifferently:
"Since the last battle, our army has been living in peace with your army for several months.

"Why did you invade my territory again this time?"
