Chapter 29 Different People Use Different Methods

LΓΌ Bu and Zhang Liao led five hundred soldiers all the way forward.

Everywhere they went, the gates of the cities that had served Ji Ling were opened.

The officials knelt tremblingly on both sides of the city gate, and none of them dared to raise their heads.

Ji Ling led the army to kill Xiapi, and officials along the way sacrificed the city one after another.

In the battle of Louting, Lu Bu won 500 to 5,000, and the officials who sacrificed the city were suddenly in danger.

Officials in various localities have the impression that Lu Bu has been worse every year in recent years.

As he gets older, his martial arts are not as good as in the past, and his courage is much smaller.

More and more people think that following Lu Bu has no future, so they will surrender without a fight after the Huainan army enters Xuzhou.

No one would have thought that Lu Bu, who was at the end of his rope, could actually win more with less on the battlefield of Louting, leading a mere 500 people to defeat the 5,000 Huainan army.

No one imagined that the Lu Bu who appeared in front of them was no longer an outdated hero who had passed middle age, but a young god of war who looked seventeen or eighteen years old at most.

The officials were in danger, but Lu Bu did not punish them, and after admonishing them, they were allowed to continue to be in charge of the locality.

The officials who escaped death were grateful to Dade and witnessed the changes in Lu Bu with their own eyes, how dare they have the slightest dissent!

The team continued south, and LΓΌ Bu's next destination was the southernmost state of Xu.

The state of Xu was only more than two hundred miles away from Huainan, and every time Yuan Shu entered Xuzhou, this county would be the first to surrender.

They didn't put up a single decent resistance.

Like the city that Lu Bu passed in front of, the county commander of Xu Guo knelt outside the city gate with the officials.

Ji Ling's rout had passed outside the city.

Louting won a great victory in the first battle of Lu Bu, and everyone under the county order was worried.

The city gate was closed and could not be held out, and it could not resist for a few days.

welcomed Lu Bu into the city, but he didn't know what kind of punishment he would receive.

Just when the officials of the Xu State didn't know what to do, they got the news that Lu Bu did not severely punish any officials along the way.

Officials breathed a sigh of relief.

Lu Bu came to the outside of the city of Xuguo, and the county commander led the officials out of the city to greet him.

Kneeling at the gates of the city, the officials trembled, and none of them dared to look up.

The sound of horses' hooves is getting closer and closer.

When Lu Bu was about to arrive at the city gate, the county commander pouted his ass and shouted: "General Lu is mighty!" ”

The officials followed closely and shouted mightily.

The sound of hooves stopped, and the officials clearly felt a powerful pressure running from the top of their heads to their heels.

The crimson horse's legs were right in front of the prefectural ordinance.

Kneeling on the ground, all he could see was a few stout hooves.

"You're the prefectural magistrate here?" The cold voice made the county order excited.

"General Huiyu, exactly!" It was Lu Bu who knew the question, and the county commander didn't dare to raise his head, and replied tremblingly.

"How many years?"

"It's been five years."

"Five years is not a short time. You are witnessing several wars. Lu Bu sneered: "At the beginning, Yuan Shu crusaded against Liu Xuande, and Xu Guo was the first to sacrifice the city. Last time, he sent troops to attack Xuzhou, and you were the first to sacrifice the city. When Ji Ling came, I thought you could hold on for two days and plan to lead the troops to help, but I didn't expect you to surrender to the enemy again without any resistance. ”

"Xu Guo has few soldiers, if you are afraid that you will not be able to hold it for a day, please also ask General Mingjian!" Feeling that something was wrong, the county magistrate hurriedly defended: "I also have to do this for the sake of the people in the city." ”

"It seems that you are not only without fault, but also meritorious." Lu Bu asked, "But how many soldiers are there?" ”

The county lieutenant who knelt behind the county commander replied tremblingly: "General Hui, Xu Guoke has only more than 120 soldiers. ”

"I led 500 people to defeat Ji Ling's 5,000 people in the pavilion." Lu Bu said: "We don't have a city, and we don't even have food and grass supplies. Xu Guo may not have much grain in stock, and it should not be difficult to support it for a month or two. But there are 120 brave soldiers, and there is the protection of the city wall, so it is not difficult to defend it for three or five days. But you surrendered without a fight, and gave up the city to the enemy! ”

Hearing that Lu Bu's words were not good, the officials trembled one by one.

The weather in early spring was relatively cold, and the clothes on the backs of many officials were still soaked with cold sweat.

"Someone!" Lu Bu shouted: "Tie up the county order and the county lieutenant, drag it down and behead it in public!" ”

Unexpectedly, Lu Bu wanted to kill them, the county commander and the county lieutenant raised their heads in astonishment, and the other officials lowered their bows, trembling like chaff.

Seeing Lu Bu clearly, the county commander and the county lieutenant were stunned.

The outline of his face can vaguely be seen to be Lu Bu's appearance.

But this face is too young!

Handsome and mighty, he is simply a young martial god, where is there anyone who has a decadent appearance in middle age?

The two of them opened their mouths in shock, unable to believe that the scene in front of them was real.

Four soldiers stepped forward, one of them, and set up the county order and the county lieutenant to be dragged away.

"General, what are we guilty of?" The county magistrate struggled and shouted, "Why kill us? ”

"Sacrifice the city to the enemy, and dare to say that you are not guilty?" Lu Bu glared angrily.

"We want to see General Lu!" The county lieutenant shouted, "Please General Lu call the shots for us!" ”

"I'm Lu Bu, but you don't know you standing in front of me!" Lu Bu shouted: "Drag it down, cut it!" ”

The soldiers carried the county order and the county lieutenant and dragged them away like dead dogs.

When the county commander and the county lieutenant were dragged away, they were still unwillingly shouting "wronged".

After a while, the soldier came back with two heads: "General Qiyu, the two have been killed." ”

The officials kneeling at the gate of the city watched the county order and the county lieutenant being killed, who could not be afraid of bad luck befalling them, and they trembled even more violently.

"Get up." Lu Bu entered the city and walked past them.

Until the last soldier walked into the county seat of Xuguo, most of the officials still failed to stand up.

It's not that they don't want to get up, it's that their legs are as weak as noodles boiled in water, and how can they still support their bodies.

After entering the Xu Kingdom, Zhang Liao asked Lu Bu: "Why didn't Wen Hou kill the officials in the previous cities, but he didn't kill them until he arrived in the Xu Kingdom?" ”

"The first few cities have also tried to hold back the enemy." Lu Bu said: "Now they think that I am in the wrong place, so they will do such a thing. The so-called trees fall and scatter, and they can't be blamed entirely. I let them go this time because I really don't have anyone available. Xu State is different, Yuan Shu sent troops to Xuzhou several times, and the county order was directly opened to surrender each time, and he never even had the intention of resisting. If you spare them, you will do the same thing next time. Different people should be treated in different ways. People like Xu Guo County Ling and County Lieutenant who take luck as inevitable, what's the use of me keeping them? ”

"They're damned." Zhang Liao understood Lu Bu's intentions.

"Do you think we can take Huainan with five hundred people?" Lu Bu suddenly asked.

"Five hundred people attacked Huainan?" Zhang Liao was taken aback: "Although Yuan Shu is not what it used to be, Huainan is not something that can be won by just five hundred people." ”
