Chapter 107: Thunderbolt Thrill
While Guo Jia was speaking, Lu Bu kept his head down, and his messy hair covered his cheeks, so that people could no longer see the expression on his face.
However, as Guo Jia spoke unhurriedly, Lu Bu's tall and burly figure trembled uncontrollably, and the originally straight spine slowly bent, so that the whole body became rickety, no longer standing upright.
I have to say that Lu Bu has always been lucky before, as if he would not die until he reached the Yellow River, and he would not cry when he saw the coffin.
But as Guo Jia once again mentioned the well-known evil deeds he had done before, the evil deeds that were unkind and unjust, and the bad deeds that were difficult to erase; Lu Bu really saw the Yellow River and the coffin, and his heart continued to sink until his heart was like ashes, and he was completely desperate.
Seeing that Lu Bu's head was getting lower and lower, and it was already lower to his lower abdomen, Guo Jia shook his head lightly, and said in an indifferent tone: "Just now, Guo Mou has ordered his own soldiers to go and bring Wen Hou's family here, so that they can see Wen Hou for the last time and see Wen Hou off." In addition, Guo prepared a little thin wine and saw off Wen Hou on behalf of my father-in-law and Mrs. Lingqi, and Wen Hou went all the way! β
Before the words fell, Guo Jia suddenly turned around and walked to the front of the mount, and while turning over on the horse, he raised his voice and ordered: "Come on, send Wen Hou to the execution table!" β
After speaking, Guo Jia waved his hand and led the generals under his tent to go straight to the execution ground north of Baimen Tower.
The South Gate Street, which is five miles long, goes all the way to the north and goes three miles to the north, which is the Beicheng of Xiapi, and the execution ground is on the school field of the Beicheng School.
This was a makeshift execution ground, built specifically for the execution of LΓΌ Bu. Because Lu Bu was a native of Jiuyuan, he set up the execution ground in Beicheng. It implies the meaning of the fox dead head.
When Guo Jia ascended the high platform and slowly sat down, on the execution platform seventy steps in front of him, more than a dozen tiger warriors had already tied Lu Bu to the torture pillar. But seeing that Lu Bu, who was scattered from his cloak, was firmly fastened to a three-foot-thick round wooden stake. The limbs are stretched out, tied to the cylinder with thick ropes, and they cannot move. At this time, the dirt on Lu Bu's face had been washed away, and he was wearing a spotless white brocade robe, and the fly in the ointment was that the brocade robe was tied with ropes as thick as a baby's arm, which made it clear that he would not return home this time. Instead, the soul returns to the underworld and ends up looking north.
Directly in front of the torture table was a four-legged table, about four feet high. On the table are three large bowls and a jar of unopened Jiuquan wine.
"Husband, husbandβββ woo woo!"
On the stone steps in front of the execution platform, Lu Bu's wives and concubines walked up to the execution platform one after another to bid farewell to their husband Lu Bu. The Yan family, the Wei family, the Cao family, and the five concubines who had been married in the past two years, as well as the more than twenty Mei Ji who had been deeply favored by Lu Bu and the young maids who slept with him were closely behind them. The women supported each other and slowly walked onto the execution platform. Softly called out a "husband". But before he could say anything, he burst into tears, whimpering and saying a word of farewell.
Maybe they still want to persuade Lu Bu to beg for mercy at this moment, as long as he sincerely repents, maybe there is room for maneuver, and he may not necessarily be executed by the head of the owl. After all, he and Li Li have known each other for many years, even though Li Li doesn't miss the love of the old man, but after all, he still has the truth of Weng's son-in-law, and there is more or less affection. It's a pity. The three side chambers of the Yan family, the Wei family, and the Cao family, who were walking in front, did not say a word, and had no intention of persuading at all. Just stepped forward with teary eyes, bowed, and then turned and left. Seeing that the three of them were still like this, the remaining many concubines and maids had scruples even if they had the intention to persuade them, so they didn't dare to say more, and left according to the courtesy.
It is obvious that the Yan family and the Wei family, who first followed Lu Bu's side room and concubine room, still have a grudge against Lu Bu until this moment, or that although they and Lu Bu have the status of husband and wife, they have long been unable to have husband and wife love. The reason for this is nothing more than Lu Bu's empathy and love, liking the new and hating the old, in recent years, he has blindly spoiled these young and beautiful dancing girls and beautiful maids, and he has not been warm with them for many years, and he doesn't even look at them on weekdays. In addition, the three of them have followed Lu Bu for many years but have nothing to do, so that Lu Bu's only few daughters are still born to concubines and have nothing to do with them, so this husband and wife relationship has long existed in name only.
To this day, Lu Bu was defeated and killed, and these women with wives and concubines not only did not get the favor of men, but also had to be implicated by him. In this situation, if there is no resentment in the hearts of the Yan family, the Wei family, the Cao family and others, it is definitely against their hearts. Husband and wife are birds of the same forest, and they fly separately when the catastrophe comes, which is undoubtedly the truest portrayal of the relationship between husband and wife in the current era of polygamy.
However, at the time of this catastrophe, Yan and other women dared to call out a "husband" with tears, but it required great courage. This in itself shows that they are not ruthless and unrighteous people, although Lu Bu likes the new and hates the old, and is unruly, he is their man after all. Lu Bu can be ruthless to them, but they are not unrighteous to Lu Bu, and they still regard him as their husband when they part, and they have no intention of breaking off relations with him. This affection is extremely rare, and it is not in vain that they were once husband and wife.
Guo Jia, who was sitting on the platform, watched many of Lu Bu's family members say goodbye to him with tears with an expressionless face, his eyes were deep and cold, as if he was unmoved and ignored.
On both sides of him, on the right are the generals of Xiliang, and on the left are a group of civil officials. Needless to say, the military generals are worth mentioning the civilian sequence. More than eighty percent of the more than 100 civil officials are Xuzhou bureaucrats and scholars, all of whom are good at dancing with long sleeves, accustomed to seeing the wind and steering the rudder, and are extremely good at self-preservation. These people are all big families who have lived in Xuzhou for a long time, and when they saw that Lu Bu was gone, they immediately did not hesitate to turn the spearhead and collectively fall to the Xiliang army to assist Guo Jia's army in capturing Picheng.
Throughout Xuzhou's several changes of hands in recent years, the major families and gentlemen of Xuzhou are safe, as if they are sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai regardless of the wind and waves. Whether it was Lao Zhou Mu Tao Qian's promotion of Xuzhou or Liu Bei, who subsequently took over the state and county, or even after Lu Bujiu occupied the magpie's nest, these family members were almost completely undisturbed, and their own interests were not lost. Perhaps in their eyes, as long as their own safety and vested interests are not affected, anyone can take Xuzhou.
Therefore, in recent years, Xuzhou has changed hands twice, but it is still these old scholars and powerful families who govern the state and county. Over time, a strange circle was formed in Xuzhou, and the princes in charge of Xuzhou changed again and again, from Tao Qian to Liu Bei. From Liu Bei to Lu Bu, the three of them took turns to take turns, but Xuzhou's subordinates were almost unchanged. The counties are still in the hands of the major families and scholars in Xuzhou. Judging the situation, seeing the wind makes the rudder, which side of the wind is strong, it will fall to which, after the turmoil, Xuzhou is still a rich state and county under their control. The typical representatives of this are Pei Xiang Chen Qi and Zhonglang General Chen Deng's father and son, the Cao clan where the Xia Pi Shou General Cao Bao belongs, and the East China Sea Mi Zhu and Mi Fang brothers on the rich Jia side.
This time, Guo Jia led the army to attack Picheng. Mi Fang, who stayed in Xuzhou, completely threw himself into Li Li's command on behalf of the Mi family, and so far the three brothers and sisters of the Mi family have all served under Li Li's account. And Chen Jue, Chen Deng's father and son were wavering, when Guo Jia secretly contacted them. The father and son repeatedly prevaricated and perfunctory, and never made a clear statement. Until Xiapi City was breached, Chen Qi and his son immediately fell to the Xiliang army, expressing their willingness to cooperate with the outside world. Assist Guo Jia in capturing Picheng. Really. With the cooperation of their father and son, Wei Xu, who was suspicious, finally betrayed Lu Bu, and then they worked together to attack Baimen Tower and capture Lu Bu in one fell swoop.
During this period, the most surprising thing was that since Cao Bao, the defender of Xiapi City, also turned his back on Lu Bu at the last moment, he stood with Chen Qi, Chen Deng, Wei Xu and others, causing Xiapi Nancheng to be self-defeating. LΓΌ Bu and his thousands of wolf cavalry were all captured. Speaking of which, this Cao Bao and Lu Bu are also Weng son-in-law. His daughter Cao was personally dedicated to Lu Bu as a concubine. However, when it came to the critical moment of life and death, he resolutely betrayed Lu Bu, regardless of the life and death of his daughter and son-in-law, and led his soldiers and horses to defect, resulting in Lu Bu being defeated and captured.
At this moment, Lu Bu was tied to the torture pillar, his hair was scattered, his expression was dull, and his eyes were dull. However, the Xuzhou subordinates standing beside Guo Jia looked calm, not only did they have no pity, but more than half of them had burning eyes, and there was excitement and joy that could not be concealed between their eyebrows, as if they wished that Lu Bu would be executed, the sooner the better.
This kind of schadenfreude was fully visible to Guo Jia, but his face was still expressionless and cold, Huo Ran turned a blind eye and turned a deaf ear.
When Lu Bu's family slowly walked off the execution platform, they saw Guo Jia suddenly get up, and said loudly: "Huan Fei listened to the order and sent Wen Hou off with wine!" β
"No!" Huan Fei, who had been waiting in front of the execution platform for a long time, heard the promise, and immediately strode up to the execution platform, opened the wine jar, held the big sea bowl in one hand and the wine jar in the other, walked in front of Lu Bu, and poured a bowl of wine with "Bang Bang", "Wen Hou, please!" β
Without a trace of emotion, a voice like a bell came into Lu Bu's ears, prompting him to slowly lower his head, look gloomily at Huan Fei, who raised his hand to toast, and slowly opened his mouth, while Huan Fei sent the wine bowl in his hand to Lu Bu's mouth, and the bowl of wine was tilted, pouring a bowl of wine into Lu Bu's mouth.
After a bowl of drinking, followed by the second bowl, and when the third bowl was reached, Huan Fei suddenly said: "The first two bowls of wine are made by the lord of my family and Mrs. Lingqi of Huan's generation, and this third bowl of wine is Huan's toast." As he spoke, Huan Fei handed the wine bowl in his hand to Lu Bu's mouth, while he himself held the wine jar and drank it with his head up.
After the three bowls of wine, with a crisp sound of "bang", the wine jar fell to the ground and shattered, and the three large bowls were also thrown to the ground and turned into powder.
"Wen Hou fought bravely, crisscrossed the battlefield for more than ten years, invincible, made the world frightened, for which Huan was very admired. However, Wen Hou repeatedly murdered the mastermind, was greedy, and was mercenary, and such a capricious behavior made Huan deeply ashamed. The reason why Wen Hou ended up in such a situation today is that he will kill himself for many injustices, and he will take the blame for himself, and he deserves it. It's just that?????? It's a pity that you have the world's best martial arts, and the Bingzhou wolf rider who has been following you in invincible battles! Wen Hou has a good journey, I hope that I will not repeat the mistakes of the past in the next life?????" Before the words fell, Huan Fei strode off the execution platform and walked straight to the general platform opposite.
"It's noon, where are the archers, and βββ! executions"
With Guo Jia's order, more than 100 bows and arrows who were waiting for their arms were loosened, and they were shocked. At this time, Dan saw a fast horse rushing into the execution ground, and shouted: "Report βββ Lord has an order??????
