The greatest tragedy in life is that you don't want to do something, but you have to do it for one reason or another.

Pingshou County is just a small city, because it is too close to Beihai Country's Drama County, the resources that can be used must be built in Drama County first, and when it is its turn, there is naturally not much left, so the city is very small, and the city wall is not high.

When the White Tiger Legion and Zhang Liao's army arrived in Pingshou, it was still early. They rested for a long time ten miles from Pingshou, and spent the hottest two hours of the day before they hurried again, and when they arrived in Pingshou, there was still a long time before the sun set. When the short and dilapidated city wall of Pingshou County and the sparse defenders on the head of the city fell into the eyes of everyone, Lu Bu and Zhang Liao suggested attacking the city first, and when the city was defeated, it was not too late to set up camp. In fact, this is also everyone's idea, with the combat power of the Xuzhou army, such a small city will go down in one drum, and it won't take an hour at all.

But there is an exception among everyone, and that is Tian Fan!

Around the city tower of Pingshou South Gate, more than 40 wooden shelves are lined up, and a corpse hangs on each shelf. Among them, there were gray-haired old men, children in open crotch pants, sturdy men, and short, slender women, each tied with their hands tied with back-cut hands.

Looking at the long tongues on their lips, Tian Fan understood that these people were all hanged.

Ignoring the chirping of the people around him, Tian Fan said coldly: "Pass my military order, set up camp, and attack the city tomorrow!" ”

When the four words "pass on our military orders" come out of the commander's mouth, it means that others only have the right to carry them out, and there is no possibility of persuasion. Therefore, Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and others will have to comply.

Tian Fan didn't leave, his eyes were still staring at the faint figure on the tower of the city gate, it was that person, who ordered the slaughter of Captain Mo.

With a long breath, he suppressed the anger in his heart and glanced at Zhuge Liang and the others beside him. Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, and Lu Xun have all seen dead people, but this is the first time they have gone to the battlefield, and the first time they have seen corpses that were hung up by others for demonstration.

Tian Fan smiled and said, "Shiyuan, Kong Ming, Bo Yan, what's wrong?" How do you feel when you see these dozens of corpses? ”

None of the three spoke.

Tian Fan smiled and said, "Feeling uncomfortable? Oh, believe me, this is just the beginning, tomorrow you will see more innocent people killed! ”

With that, he grimaced and walked away.

This night, someone is destined to be unable to sleep.

Old Man Tang has been very strange recently, and he doesn't know what nonsense he heard from Yu Ji, and from a certain day, he will no longer stay up late. As long as it reaches the point, even if it is a big thing, he will fall asleep. The posture is quite weird, lying on his side all the time, his body is like a bow, his legs are slightly bent together, one hand is placed on his chest, and the other is pillowed next to his ear. Today was no exception, as soon as the sun set, he began to sleep.

And Shi Ah is a different situation, he will not stay up late unless necessary. He said that the most important thing for martial arts practitioners is to preserve their spirits, and sleeping is a very important practice.

They are Tian Fan's closest guards, and they usually live in a small tent next to the big tent of the Chinese army, and everyone in the army knows that they are two weirdos, so they won't bother them if they have nothing to do.

Suddenly, Old Man Tang and Shi A's ears moved, their closed eyes opened at the same time, and a light flashed in the dark night, and their hands couldn't help but grab the weapon placed on the edge of the collapse. Immediately after, the eyes of the two flashed, and the essence of light in their eyes suddenly disappeared without a trace, and the hand that had just touched the blade retracted.

In the middle of the night, Shi A's lazy voice came out, "Donald, Boguang doesn't sleep well in the middle of the night, what do you want to do?" ”

Old Man Tang didn't answer immediately, and after a while, he muttered, "There may be something embarrassing, right?" Forget it, that's what some complicated people should think, let's not think about it, sleep! ”

Shi Ah chuckled lightly and said, "What Donald said is reasonable! Well, but, if you can't sleep tonight, I'm afraid it's not just Boguang, right? ”

Old Man Tang smiled silently and did not answer. After a short time, two snoring sounds came out, high and low, one after another.

Shi A's words are good, there is one more person who can't sleep tonight, and that is the Pingshou County Order.

At this moment, Pingshou County Ling Lu Shangzheng was kneeling on a soft couch in the hall, kowtowing respectfully in the northwest direction. I only heard him say: "Father, mother, please forgive Shang'er for not being able to continue to fulfill his filial piety to the second elder; Forgive me, Madame, for not being able to continue to fulfill my responsibilities as a husband; Xian'er, I can't continue to teach you as a husband, I just hope you can work hard and become a pillar of talent as soon as possible! Please forgive me, there are some things that I have to do even if I know they are wrong! If there is an afterlife, I will treat you well! ”

After that, a few heads kowtowed.

Then he turned over and sat up, took a handkerchief from the table, drew his sword, and wiped it carefully, his eyes gentle as if he were looking at his wife......

The next day, the Xuzhou army gathered under Pingshou City.

On the city, the corpses of Captain Mo's family are still hanging on the city, becoming the most dazzling scenery. Tian Fan stared at the two blood-red eyes, looked at the dozens of corpses, and shouted in a deep voice: "Pass on my military order, after capturing the city, slaughter the city for three days!" ”

At this order, dozens of generals and school officials around him gasped.

The slaughter of the city is not unusual in this era, and it can even be said that it is nothing in the war of any era, and there are not a few people who have done it. Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou and slaughtered the city all the way, Lu Bu also slaughtered the city, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun did similar things. In history, the most ruthless slaughter of the city should be the Mongol army led by Genghis Khan, which was really a slaughter all the way, and the place it passed was more terrible than a natural disaster.

However, Liu Bei did not slaughter the city, and the generals who entered Xuzhou one after another, no matter in the past, after entering the Xuzhou army, they never slaughtered the city. Even though the battle against Shouchun was extremely hard, Liu Bei did not order the slaughter of the city. Tian Fan's slaughter order was issued, but I was afraid that it would have a very bad impact on him.

Lu Bu has the highest status among the generals, but he can't persuade people, and Zhang Liao can't take care of it much, he rolled the saddle and dismounted, knelt down, hugged his fists and said: "Governor, please think twice!" ”

The rest of the people reacted, turned over and dismounted one by one, knelt on the ground, and pleaded: "Governor, please think twice!" ”

Fa Zheng said anxiously: "Dadu Governor, if you order to slaughter the city, the world will inevitably look sideways, and I hope that Dadu Governor will think twice!" ”

Zhuge Liang said: "Governor, slaughter the city, what does the lord think?" What do the people of Xuzhou think? I hope the Metropolitan Governor will think twice! ”

Pang Tong said: "Metropolitan Governor, even if you don't care about the opinions of the people of Xuzhou, regardless of the opinions of the lord, can you ignore the opinions of your family?" Governor, think twice! ”

……

These people know reason, move with emotion, and think of all the tricks they can think of, but Tian Fan's expression is still resolute.

Tian Fan didn't look at them, and said coldly: "What? Want to disobey military orders but can't do it? Do you think Pontus's military law is so easy to commit? Give me up and carry out the military order! ”

Zhang Liao took a few steps on his knees, grabbed Tian Fan's calf, and said eagerly: "Metropolitan Governor, Mo Yunlong is dead, I know you are angry, in fact, I am also angry, I am even more angry than you, Mo Yunlong is a good seedling that I am optimistic about!" But his death was Lu Shang's fault alone, and it had nothing to do with the people in the city! Governor, if you slaughter the city, hundreds of people will be killed, how innocent are they? Governor, please think twice! ”

Tian Fan said coldly: "Zhang Liao, you stand up for me!" After a slight pause, he pondered and shouted, "You all get up for me!" ”

Everyone looked at each other, stood up one by one and looked at Tian Fan, waiting for him to speak.

Tian Fan still had a cold face, and said in a deep voice: "Today's boss is my Tian Fan, since I am the commander of the First Army, there are some things I don't need to explain to you, because I have the right to arbitrarily make decisions on the spot!" But today, I'm going to explain. ”

After a slight pause, he continued: "I really don't want to slaughter the city, and I also know that you have been in Xuzhou for a long time, and you value human life very seriously...... However, we are soldiers, and what soldiers need is to be loved by others, but they also need to be feared by the enemy! Mo Yunlong is dead, his whole family is dead, he is a brother of my Xuzhou Army, he can't die in vain! Today, I just want to let the world know that my brothers in the Xuzhou Army are not so easy to die, and whoever kills my brothers in the Xuzhou Army must be ready to be punished! I want them to think about whether what they give and what they get matches what they get!

"Also, this time our battle was easy, but please don't forget, brothers, this is because many of my brothers in the Xuzhou army are Qingzhou people, and they are inextricably linked with the Qingzhou people. But what about the war that followed? If we don't have such a good mass base, how can we fight the war? If such a big mistake of killing my brother to persuade him to surrender can be exempted from punishment, then who will be afraid of my Xuzhou army in the future?

"In the past few years, everyone has fought so easily that everyone has forgotten what the real war is all about! The real vicious war is to fight over and over again and again, and I don't want to cause the brothers to pay the price of blood for every step they take in the future because of the kindness of the moment today! After this battle, we will face Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, and Sun Ce! Do you think that Cao Cao, who was driven to Guanzhong and trapped in a corner, gathered Yuan Shao, who was elite in Sizhou, and Sun Ce after integrating Danyang and Baiyue elite soldiers was easy to deal with? ”

After a pause, Tian Fan clenched his fists and shouted in a deep voice: "In this battle, I want to stand up!" With tens of millions of heads, I want to tell the princes of the world that unless you have the determination to die, don't fight with my Xuzhou army! I also want to tell the people of the world, don't think that the Xuzhou Army is a kind person, we are an army, a beast that eats people and does not spit out bones! ”

Tian Fan's words were loud, and everyone was speechless for a while.

Lu Bu gritted his teeth, clenched his fists and said: "Governor, no matter what, the city slaughter order always ruins people's reputation, and the reputation of the last general is not good, so let me do it!" ”

Zhang Liao also gritted his teeth and said: "The reputation of the Metropolitan Governor is very important, and it cannot be easily damaged, Mrs. Wen Hou is pregnant now, and she needs to accumulate some yin virtue for the child, this order is still for me!" ”

Gao Shun said with a straight face: "No, I should give this order!" The reputation of the Metropolitan Governor is very important to a few of us, and it is not easy to touch, Wen Hou's wife is pregnant, Wen Yuan is a gentleman, only I Gao Zhengqing has few friends, and I am not afraid of a few more enemies! I'll do it! ”

Tian Fan had a hint of emotion, killing so many people, he was really afraid of retribution. After all, Mi Zhen and Lu Xinke have just become pregnant, just like Zhang Liao said, it's good to accumulate some yin virtue for the child. However, after thinking about it, he still shook his head resolutely, laughed a few times, and said: "The White Tiger is the god of killing, as the White Tiger General, how can I not have a trace of killing and punishment on my body, a trace of blood?" As for what yin virtue, my life is in my absence! Whoever wants to hurt my family must first step over my corpse! I have made up my mind, go down and carry it out. ”

Everyone had no choice but to go down and make arrangements.

Bursts of drums rang out, and Lü Bu's cavalry was the first to launch, followed by the infantry commanded by Gao Shun and Zhang Liao.

The Beikui soldiers led by Lu Bu completely ignored the sparse feathered arrows shot from the city's head, and with their superb archery skills, they only circled the city once, and the city walls were empty. Immediately afterwards, the foot soldiers led by Gao Shun and Zhang Liao carried the ladder to the city, set up the ladder, the soldiers bit the steel knife, flew up to the city wall in three or two, and rounded the steel knife to kill people and cut them when they met people.

In just one stick of incense, even the crossbow battalion, the ballista battalion, and the catapult were not used, and the war was over. The city gate was opened from the inside, and the task of suppressing the opponent's archers had already been completed, and Lu Bu, who was waiting near the city gate, immediately led the cavalry to kill. There was no decent resistance, only panicked soldiers fleeing everywhere.

Sergeant Yuan Shao saw that the momentum was not good, and immediately chose to surrender, but what made them terrified was that the sergeant of Xuzhou still did not stop killing after they put down their weapons. However, it was too late!

Seeing Lu Bu and the three of them enter the city, Tian Fan returned to the camp. All three are experienced generals, much more experienced than themselves, and they can't go wrong. Moreover, there is nothing to see now! Within three days, Tian Fan did not plan to enter Pingshou, and if possible, he would not want to enter in this life. Although he gave the order to slaughter the city, he also knew that he was doing the right thing, and found thousands of reasons for himself to give the order, but he didn't feel good in his heart.

A person can deceive anyone, but not himself......

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Tian Fan sat alone behind the handsome case, looking at the door with two eyes, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Fa Zheng, Yang Xu, Pang Tong, Zhuge Liang, and Lu Xun stood beside him, quietly, without saying a word.

Suddenly, the curtain of the big tent was lifted, and Chang Feng strode in, hugged his fists and said: "Governor, Wen Hou asked someone to come over and spread the word, saying that Pingshou County Ling Lu Shang has been captured, and ask if you want to see it!" ”

Tian Fan didn't hear it, in fact, although he looked at the door, he didn't notice Chang Feng when he entered the door, and his gaze was not focused at all.

Fa Zheng looked at Chang Xuan, bowed down to Tian Fan and said, "Governor Dadu, General Chang has something to say!" ”

said it twice, but Tian Fan was stunned and didn't hear it. As a last resort, Fa Zheng had no choice but to pat Tian Fan on the shoulder and say the words again.

Tian Fan looked at the correct view, then looked at Chang Xuan, shook his head slowly, and said: "There is no need to see him, we have nothing to say when we meet, tell Feng Xian and let him deal with it himself!" ”

After Chang Feng left, Tian Fan looked at the five people around him, pretended to smile easily, and said: "Alcohol is not allowed in the army, unless the battle is won, and the commander decides to reward the soldiers." Hehe, today is also a victory, Pontus has decided that the six of us will have a drink! Come on, serve the wine ......"

Lu Bu listened to Tian Fan's order and couldn't help but be stunned for a while. What is self-disposal?

There is one thing that has always been hidden in Lu Bu's heart, and he has never told anyone, including Yan and Diao Chan. Because of this incident, Lu Bu took Tian Fan very seriously, and regarded Tian Fan as more important than his life, and Tian Fan's reputation was also more important than his own life in his opinion.

Today's slaughter order can be said to have ruined Tian Fan's great reputation, thinking of this, Lu Bu couldn't help but be angry.

He lifted Lu Shang, the commander of Pingshou County, who was tied like a dumpling, and strode towards the place where the shouting and killing were most dense.

It was a Shura hell, and the red-eyed Xuzhou soldiers were searching for the surviving people from house to house, and blood was gushing down from a steel knife.

Lu Bu pinched Lu Shang's arms with both hands, made him stand upright, and said hatefully: "Open your dog's eyes and see, this is the retribution caused by your order to slaughter Mo Yunlong's entire family!" Most of the governors of my family said that they would slaughter the city for three days to avenge Mo Yunlong's revenge! ”

Lu Shangben had already closed his eyes and was waiting to die, hearing this, he opened his eyes, and his eyes were a child, the child was afraid that he was not only three or four years old, he looked like a tiger, a terrible wound on his chest, and his big eyes were dead and silent, without any life. It can be imagined that before today, this child should be how lively and cute, how naughty and mischievous, how much a child that parents love and have a great headache. But now, he's dead!

Next to her was a gray-haired old lady, her stomach was stabbed open, her red and green internal organs flowed all over the ground, and her mouth with few teeth was wide open, as if she couldn't believe that she was going to die.

……

The dead corpses in one place made Lu Shang tremble and burst into tears.

Lu Bu carried him all the way forward, until the door of a house, there was a scream in the small courtyard, and at the gate of the courtyard, a delicate little hand was stretched out with difficulty from inside, and then, a woman with a bloody face crawled out. For some reason, maybe the woman thought that as long as she climbed over this threshold, she would be safe, so she struggled to crawl. However, when she crawled halfway out, she no longer had any strength......

Lu Shang clearly saw that the woman's belly was very big, she was a pregnant woman......

At this moment, Lu Shang went crazy, he suddenly struggled violently, and roared: "I want to go to Tian Fan, I want to see Tian Fan!" It is my order to kill Mo Yunlong, it has nothing to do with others, if you want to punish me, even if it is a thousand cuts, please let them go, they are all innocent! Woowoo woo ......"

Lu Bu sneered and said, "Regret it? It's too late to regret it, the Metropolitan Governor ordered the slaughter of the city for three days, not a single hour! ”

Lu Shang listened to the silence for a moment, and then began to struggle violently, shouting: "Kill me, kill me......"

He regretted it, he really regretted it, if he had known that it was the current result, he would rather be killed by Yuan Tan's entire family left in Linjiang than kill Mo Yunlong and provoke Tian Fan, the killing god!

He regretted it, I don't know if Tian Fan will regret it?
