Chapter 874: Killing Niu Gao
Lu Wenlong's Han army camp.
When he returned to the camp in victory, Lu Wenlong was surprised to find that Niu Gao, who was supposed to be in charge of guarding the camp, was gone, and there were only more than 1,000 recruits stationed there in the camp, led by just an ordinary military marquis.
"Where did General Niu go?" Lu Wenlong had an ominous premonition in his heart, so he asked where the military marquis Niu Gao was.
Sure enough, I saw the military marquis and said, "General Niu led his troops and horses to chase and kill Jin Wushu." ”
Hearing this, Lu Wenlong suddenly sighed in his heart, and sure enough, he was afraid of something, he naturally knew that there were not many people around Jin Wushu, and although Niu Gao's ability was insufficient, it was not something that the current Wushu could deal with.
"That guy is also resourceful, and he should be fine." Lu Wenlong had no choice but to comfort himself like this.
A day and a night passed, and Lu Wenlong was very anxious to wait, but he never heard the news of Niu Gao, and his heart became more and more anxious.
And just when he was anxious, he only heard a report from the soldiers, saying that Niu Gao had returned.
Lu Wenlong was overjoyed when he heard the news and personally greeted him.
Niu Gao naturally introduced Han Shizhong and Liang Hongyu first, and said that they had helped a lot in the process of dealing with women, and at the same time explained their intention to join the army.
Lu Wenlong did not object to this, but he was not the commander of the army, and he had no power to decide Han Shizhong's position arrangement, so he replaced him with a courtesy, and then asked Yue Fei to arrange his title after meeting Yue Fei.
Han Shizhong and his wife thanked each other for this, and then went down to rest.
At this time, Niu Gao said with a smile: "Brother Lu Xian, this time I disobeyed your general order and went to war without authorization, I am really guilty, please forgive me." ”
Lu Wenlong waved his hand and said, "What did General Niu say?" If it weren't for you, the general, how could our army have more talents like Han Shizhong and Liang Hongyu? How can you add hundreds of elite soldiers? General Niu has made such a contribution, and the younger brother is too late to envy it. ”
"Hehe, as long as the virtuous brother doesn't blame it, this time I also brought a gift for you."
After Niu Gao finished speaking, he ordered someone to push the coffin that gathered the golden vulture over, and said to Lu Wenlong: "Do you know who is here?" ”
"I, I don't know." As soon as Lu Wenlong heard this, his face was a little unnatural, and he prayed in his heart that God would not be the person he thought in his heart.
However, Niu Gao said with a smile: "Let me tell you, this person is your father-killing enemy Jin Wushu, when you were a virtuous brother, you made a military order from Marshal Yue, why did you let him escape so carelessly?" Fortunately, my brother I met him and captured him alive, but this guy was so small that he couldn't stand it, and he was angry to death. But whether it's alive or dead, it's brought anyway, so that the virtuous brother won't be blamed by Marshal Yue. ”
Lu Wenlong's face instantly turned pale, and he suddenly shouted loudly: "Niu Gao, why did you go out of the camp to fight without permission?" If the camp is lost, can you take this responsibility? I respect you as a veteran in the army, and I pretend to be a color for you, but you are pampered and arrogant, and you violate my general's order, which is unbearable. ”
"This, this, general, although General Niu disobeyed the general's order, but he returned victorious, and now the general ignores General Niu's merits, and kills the meritorious generals, not only the generals are not satisfied, but even Marshal Yue, I'm afraid it can't be said......"
"Yes, General, General Niu has followed Marshal Yue since he was a child, but Marshal Yue's good brother, if you kill him like this, Marshal Yue is not easy to explain......"
The soldiers, you and I have a word, and they have pleaded for Niu Gao.
However, I saw Lu Wenlong shouting: "Shut up!" As the so-called military law is ruthless, as long as the military law is violated, don't say that he is a marshal's cronies, even if it is a cronie of His Majesty, I will be beheaded, will I, Lu Wenlong, bend the law for personal gain because he is a marshal's cronies? At this time, I have decided that I will kill Niu Gao, and anyone who intercedes for him will be punished with a rod! ”
The generals all stopped when they heard what they said, but Niu Gao on the side sneered.
"What are you laughing at? Could it be that Ben is going to kill you wrong? Lu Wenlong glanced at Niu Gao and said lightly.
Niu Gao said with a smile: "You let me say, then I will give you it, you talk about military law, I will give you military law, according to Marshal Yue's generals, although I am only assisting your deputy general, I have to listen to your orders, but I have other cheap military powers, I can act independently, the reason why I have the right to go out of the camp to fight without authorization, this is the power given to me by Marshal Yue, there is no violation at all, you want to kill me, the name is not justified, besides, even if I really violated military law, you have not been awarded the 'fake festival' or a higher level at all' If you want to kill me, you need to release me to Marshal Yue, you don't have the right to kill me and give the order without authorization, this is a violation of military law, and you should be the one who should be dealt with. ”
"What's the use of you, hmph, with sharp teeth? Do you think you can shirk your responsibilities in this way? You are my subordinate, and I have the right to dispose of you even if I don't need any reason, and even if I can't kill you, I can humiliate you to the fullest. Although Lu Wenlong said this, he really didn't take advantage of it now, so he had to say so.
"Hehe, come on, boy, see if I'm afraid of my brother?" Niu Gao laughed and said slowly: "I want to see, whether the soldiers with a conscience are convinced?" Can Marshal Yue distinguish right from wrong? Can Your Majesty tell right from wrong? Can history distinguish right from wrong? Lu Wenlong, I know why you want to kill me, isn't it because I killed the Golden Vulture? This person is your adoptive father, and he has been in a relationship with you for ten years, okay, I'll tell you about intercession next. It is true that Jin Wushu has raised you for ten years, but he is also the culprit who killed your biological parents, is it not as good as ten years of nurturing grace for the parents who gave birth to you and raised you? You were born in the Han people, and your parents and ancestors were all raised by the Han family, so is the grace of your parents and ancestors who have been nurturing for hundreds of years no more than a decade of nurturing grace? In order to make you right, Marshal Yue disregarded his previous suspicions, His Majesty decisively hired, the most pitiful is my brother Wang Zuo, who is willing to cut off his arm for you, facing them, where is your love? Could it be that only the nurturing feelings of that Jurchen are love, and the love of so many people is not love? ”
"I ......"
"What are you? Do you think that you yourself violated the military order and put a golden vulture on it, and only used your own life to resist your life, and you can't hinder others? You are very wrong, your parents gave birth to you, not to let you give your life to the enemy, Marshal Yue is important, Your Majesty appreciates it, and it is not for you to give the enemy your life, Brother Wang Zuo exchanged an arm for your return, nor did you let you give the enemy your life, you have to live well, be loyal to the country, and be filial to your biological parents, this is what you should do, Brother Lu, you have already performed the vulture once before, that is enough to repay the grace of ten years of nurturing, even if that time is not enough, you let him live again yesterday, is it not enough? Do you have to pay yourself for it to be willing? I know you value feelings, but when feelings and morality conflict, when filial piety and loyalty conflict, when there is a conflict between the individual and the family and the country, should you choose yourself or the other side? ”
Niu Gao's words were reasonable and affectionate, righteous and strict, so that Lu Wenlong was speechless, and in the end he could only kneel on the ground respectfully, crying at Niu Gao and saying: "Brother Niu, I was wrong, please forgive me!" ”
