437 Burning prisoners of war

Cheng Pu turned his head and looked at the prisoners of war who had been subdued but were still struggling, and a raging anger of revenge ignited in his heart, and he suddenly gave an order with blood-red eyes.

"Gather these Cao soldiers together and burn them all!"

The entourage was frightened, and some people tried to give examples, when Zhou Yu flooded the prisoners of war, it almost caused a catastrophe.

When Cheng Pu hesitated, he found that his mouth was a little leaky, and when he touched it with his hand, he actually lost a front tooth just now, and he was so angry that he said: "If anyone persuades again, they will be burned to death!" ”

No one had ever seen the old general be so angry, he didn't dare not carry it out, and immediately obeyed the order to convey it, and the Jiangdong soldiers moved together, and more than 100 disabled Cao soldiers were tied up and torn together, and immediately, countless torches were thrown towards them.

Cao Bing's eyes were open in despair, and the scolding in his mouth was endless, and then, one after another, screams came one after another, which was terrible and terrifying. The sky-high light of the fire illuminated the night and scorched the earth, and the ropes were finally burned, and the great fireballs turned into countless small rolling fireballs, rolling around on the ground and wailing, but to no avail.

A Cao soldier did not do this kind of useless self-help, but stood up from the flames, and suddenly, he screamed and raised his two arms and rushed towards Cheng Pu.

Cheng Pu was startled, and hurriedly took a few steps back, and then an archer behind him shot an arrow with a bow, and with a whoosh, shot an arrow into Cao Bing's heart.

Cao Bing was covered in flames, and he was about to be hit by an arrow, and finally fell to his knees, but before he died, he pointed at Cheng Pu, with infinite resentment, and used his last strength to scold clearly: "Cheng Pu, you have lost your conscience, and you can't die well!" ”

The veteran Cheng Pu killed countless people on the battlefield, but he was shocked by the scene in front of him, and a trace of coolness rose up his spine, and he began to regret the decision he made just now.

It was too late to regret it now, and with the raging fire, the standing Cao soldier finally fell, only the stiff hand was still pointing at the dark night sky.

When the fire burned out, there was only a strangely shaped, black charred bone on the ground, and the air was filled with a suffocating smell of burning, like Cao Bing's lingering grievances.

Cheng Pu was stunned for a long time, finally sighed, ordered the dry bones to be buried, and was stunned for a long time, his knees were weak, and he knelt and bowed with guilt, and the old tears were rampant.

Not all mistakes can be forgiven, Cheng Pu burned Cao Bing, caused an uproar, and Zhang Liao, who was extremely angry, ordered someone to erect a huge white flag on the city wall, which read: Cheng Pu has no virtue, loses his conscience, and will be punished by heaven!

After Wang Baoyu heard about this, he was extremely angry, and his eyes were about to burst into flames, but he finally gritted his teeth and held back, and did not go to scold Cheng Pu like he did with Zhou Yu, but he had a firm thought in his heart, the army that advocated killing and exterminating humanity must no longer be with them.

After Sun Quan learned of this, he held back in the tent for a day, and no one saw him, his meaning was self-evident, and he was also quite unhappy, he had just promised the dead Tai Shici and Comrade Wang Baoyu that he would be benevolent and righteous, and as a result, this incident occurred.

Although the generals did not face Cheng Pu, they also discussed a lot in private, and seeing him was like seeing a plague, and they all hid away without saying two words.

Old Cheng Pu was under tremendous psychological pressure, and he didn't think about tea and dinner for several days, and the figure of the soldier standing up in the fire always appeared in front of him. People live with vigor and spirit, their spirit collapses, Cheng Pu's general demeanor is gone, and he is an old man in his old age.

A handful of old people, how can they do without eating, and soon Cheng Pu began to shake when he walked, and even his head shook slightly involuntarily, he took the initiative to find Sun Quan, resigned from the post of deputy governor, and said that he was unwell and wanted to go back to the rear to recuperate first.

Sun Quan agreed without hesitation, as if he was looking forward to him leaving quickly, Lao Cheng Pu's face was gloomy, he went to the east and the west to fight, but in the end he still failed to keep the evening.

Sun Quan ordered a team of men and horses to escort the old general back to Chaisang to recuperate with peace of mind, but Cheng Pu still remembered Wang Baoyu when he was leaving.

When he first met this young man, this young man warned him not to avoid unnecessary killing, which would damage Shouyuan, but he still didn't listen to his advice and made such a big mistake.

Cheng Pu found Wang Baoyu, Wang Baoyu picked at his fingernails and ignored him. Cheng Pu sat beside him in a daze for half an hour, and finally sighed: "Alas, it's too late to regret!" ”

Wang Baoyu still didn't speak, Cheng Pu choked up and said: "Baoyu, so far, is there a way to make up for it?" ”

"I'm afraid no one can help you." Wang Baoyu's tone was cold, he originally had a good impression of this old man, but now he didn't feel pity for him at all.

"I am old, and I die without regrets, and I only seek a way to be liberated." Cheng Pudao.

"Burn incense and worship the Buddha!" Wang Baoyu said lightly, and then continued to pick at his fingernails, a gesture of not caring for him.

Cheng Pu said goodbye to Wang Baoyu, and then went all the way back to Chaisang, while Sun Quan never used him again, and few friends went to Cheng Pu's house to talk to him.

Although the old man burned incense and worshiped the Buddha all day long, the psychological pressure was too great, and he finally couldn't afford to get sick, and Cao Bing always appeared in front of him asking for his life, and in the spring of the next year, Cheng Pu died in an endless nightmare. A generation of fierce generals, thin skin and bones when they died, a luxurious shroud was very empty on his body, and he couldn't hide the loneliness on his face.

Sun Quan did not break the mind of capturing Hehuai because of Cheng Pu's departure, and let Lu Su take over Cheng Pu's position, and Lu Su finally became a powerful figure.

The work of digging tunnels continued, and Wang Baoyu looked around the military camp with a smile every day, always thinking about how to leave the place.

Not everyone is a fool, or someone found out Wang Baoyu's motive, it was the long history Zhang Hong, on this day, Zhang Hong found Wang Baoyu and asked straight to the point: "Mr. Baoyu, do you want to leave this place?" ”

Wang Baoyu didn't say anything, his face was unhappy, and he showed off his ability with a little ability, which was annoying!

Zhang Hong was afraid that Wang Baoyu would misunderstand, so he hurriedly said: "Don't worry, I won't talk to others." ”

"You know, old sir, I was forced to get involved in this war. I do want to leave, I don't want to worry about this anymore. Wang Baoyu said frankly.

"I didn't agree with the attack on Hexi, Heshu is Cao Cao's gateway to the important land, how can it fall into the hands of others, but the lord is too stubborn, I expect this matter to fail." Zhang Hong is open and honest.

"You are the same as I calculated, and Heqi will definitely not be able to take it." Wang Baoyu said.

"But according to your current plan, the alliance will not be broken soon." Zhang Hong's words changed sharply, and he suddenly changed his words.
