I couldn't control my excitement as I stared at the adorable soldiers with tears in my eyes. I understand their intentions, so I said loudly: "Death penalty can be forgiven, but there is no escape from it! The Son of Heaven had committed the same crime as the commoners! Now I am asking to be demoted by the Emperor! Furthermore, I shall be the first in my generation to have my hair cut off, and I shall be punished with a fifty back pole! " Li Xiong, Zhang Tie, and the others were shocked: "Can you withstand this? Also, how can you give up on parents who are physically sick? " I cut off my hair and held it up to the soldiers. The soldiers were solemn and silent. After a while, I gave my hair to the janissaries to let him hang it on the most handsome banner in the army. The big book was "The First of Fan Li". Then I cried out, "Where is the executioner? Immediately execute him! "
The executioner looked at me in silence. Just at this time, Chen Zhi walked over with the tied up Gongsun Zan and said: "Master, Gongsun Zan did not listen to your orders and proceeded forward alone. He has lost a large number of horses and horses, and it was he who had deceived Master in his advance, which resulted in our army's defeat! If it wasn't him, we wouldn't have had to return to the Jiao Prefecture! Moreover, he had signed the military order. If he didn't win, he would rather die to atone for his crimes! He has not listened to his lord's commands many times. If he were to commit a crime from the bottom of his heart and kill him, he would have nothing to say! "
Gongsun Zan remained silent, his face revealing a look of regret. I suddenly shook my head, and said: "It's none of Bo Gui's business, I am the main marshal, I have absolute authority in decisions, I have already given up my right to decide as a commander, and for this reason, I caused Bo Gui to be so stubborn, a great defeat for our army! The fault lies with me! "
Gongsun Zan stared at me with his strange eyes. He admired my magnanimity and kindness, and regretted his arrogance and stubbornness greatly, because when he was attacked by Liu He and Xianyu Fu, his younger brother Gongsun Fan died in battle in order to protect him. How could Gongsun Zan not hate him?
I said to Chen Zhi: "Second brother, let Bo Gui go! Let Bo Gui regain his previous position! " When Chen Zhi heard this, it was obvious that he couldn't accept it. He looked at me and asked: "Fourth brother, can you guarantee that Gongsun Zan will really sincerely serve you in the future? Don't you regret doing this? " I shook my head and smiled, "Second brother, the responsibility for this battle lies entirely with me. It has nothing to do with General Gongsun! I will take full responsibility for it! General Gongsun is innocent! "
After I said this, I strode to the execution platform, laid down on my stomach, and shouted at the executioner, "What are you standing around for? Why aren't you enforcing the law? " After the executioner looked at me for a long time, Fang said, "All right! My lord! "Your subordinate is going to execute it!" "Hm!" I smiled and nodded.
The executioner shouted: "Get ready!" Gongsun Zan ran to the execution platform, took off his shirt, and lied down on it as well, saying: "I was misled by my lord, my sin is great and deep, it's hard to deny even if I were to die ten thousand! For the Lord to not kill me is already a huge favor, what more does Bo Gui dare to ask for? If the lord does not punish me, then the army will not accept it! In the future, if Bo Gui doesn't listen to my orders due to his arrogance, I can definitely exterminate the Nine Clans of Bo Gui! Bo Gui would definitely obey Master's commands in the future! I ask for the kindness of the Lord today and the kindness of saving me from danger last time! "
I looked at Gongsun Zan and smiled, then looked at him with eyes of trust, believing in what he had said today. I then turned to the executioner and said, "Go ahead! Usually how military law was enforced, but today it was enforced in a similar fashion! "There must be no difference!"
The executioner shouted, "The law of the march!" Bang! "Bang!" The thick military rod struck his back, producing a terrifying sound. "Ah!" "Swish!" I clenched my teeth and endured the pain, but I didn't want to shout out. Beads of sweat rolled down my head, and my fingers dug into the flesh of my palm. Bright red blood flowed out of my palm.
I have to endure! I want to show my soldiers that their commander will not be easily defeated by fifty men. I want to give them confidence that I will lead them out of their predicament and continue on their way! Just because I'm the god of war in their hearts, I will do something that is different from ordinary people!
Li Xiong shouted, "Stop! Stop! "Stop fighting!" Zhang Tie rushed to the execution platform to stop the executioners from continuing their execution. I gasped for breath as I struggled to turn my head to look at Zhang Tie and Zhang Tie, saying: "No, no, stop, stop! "Continue, continue..." Chen Zhi looked at everything and shook his head. He knew that I was stubborn, no matter how he tried to persuade me. When Li Xiong and Zhang Tie saw my resolute face and determined gaze, they understood my intentions. They immediately turned around and ran, afraid that they would be unable to control themselves in the future and try to stop him.
The executioner was allowed to continue his execution, and his staff struck me so hard that my eyes grew bright with pain, and I blacked out.
Ji Ping helped me add medicine to recuperate as the generals stood to greet him. Chen Zhi said: "Fourth brother, now that Liu Biao's army has gathered in Linhe County, they are ready to attack it! What should I do? " Due to the pain in my body, I was constantly moaning. Even I was shocked upon hearing Chen Zhi's words.
After thinking for a while, I looked at Chen Zhi and asked: "Second brother, does Liu Biao know that I have recovered my consciousness?" Chen Zhi shook his head, and said: "I think Liu Biao still doesn't understand!" When I heard this, my face lit up and I said, "That's good! That's good! Liu Biao didn't know that I had recovered my wits, so we can just return the favor! luring Liu Biao's army to the depths of the city, then shutting them down! Just pretend that I returned to the Ankang due to an illness and my morale was low. If I were to act better during the battle with Liu Biao's army, Liu Biao would definitely fall for it! Humph! Last time, Liu Biao's show of deceit successfully deceived me, and this time, I want to show you that our army's show of deceit is not worse than yours! "
Chen Zhi slammed his fist into his palm and said happily, "Yes! We will use a tooth for a tooth! Let Liu Biao have a taste of defeat! " I slightly nodded and said, "Second brother, you must keep this a secret. Don't leak out news that I have recovered my consciousness! Now, let's get everything ready!
A few days later, the waiting riding came rushing over, "Report!" I looked at him and asked, "What's wrong?" What movements did the Liu Biao Army do? " The waiting riding responded, "Liu Biao's main army has come from the Guiyang County, they are going very deep into my territory's South China Sea County, and they haven't discovered anything strange yet! Other than that, Liu He and Xianyu Fu's remnants of Liu Yu's Liu Yu's forces had also increased in strength and momentum, and the speed at which they advanced was clearly much faster than Liu Biao's army! In comparison to Liu He Clan's rapid progress, Liu Biao Army was on the other hand, constantly waiting and watching, as if they were waiting for their friend's achievements. It was also puzzling that the troops were divided into three divisions and not grouped together. Furthermore, they have left sufficient defensive forces in the Guiyang County. I wonder what the Liu Biao Army's intentions are? "
After a moment's thought, I understood why the other party did what he did. After all, Liu He's team did not belong to Liu Biao's regular army. Liu Biao still had his guard up around them, and right now, we're planning to agitate Liu He to take revenge for our father. If our army is ambushed, then Liu He's team will definitely be attacked, and they can decide their future strategy according to the situation. Furthermore, they have sufficient defending forces in the Gui Yang and the Ling Tian Province. Even if they were to suffer a terrible defeat, it would be hard for our army to advance to the top of the mountain. Humph! and Kuai Yue's Liu Biao Army were really crafty! I can give up the Busan County that is under the jurisdiction of Yu Lin County first, even if it means giving up Ankang County, there is nothing to be afraid of! As long as I use my main force to attack Liu Biao Army heavily in South China Sea County, I must definitely affect the situation on the other side. They could only defend in the most dangerous areas of Yu Lin County in order to block the path of Liu He Clan. Maybe we can subdue Liu He's troops then! I made my decision, and shouted loudly: "Li Xiong, Han Cheng, Li Gang!"
The three generals replied. I gazed at Li Xiong and said: "Big brother, you will be in charge of the fight on Liu He's side! Han Cheng and Li Gang are in charge of assisting you! I can't give too many soldiers to you, because the main battlefield is the South China Sea County! There are many times more Liu Biao Army than Liu He! "You can …" Li Xiong cupped his hands and said: "Don't worry! "I will make sure that Liu He will never return!"
Gongsun Zan's mouth twitched, it was clear that he wanted to fight with Liu He Clan, I understood his intentions. Then he slowly said: "General Gongsun is a capable general of our army, if we want to use him, we have to use him in the most important way! I want to entrust this mission to General Gongsun, but I am worried about the rod wounds on his body! Sigh! General Gongsun still needs to properly recuperate before she can be even more useful in the future! Your body is more important! "
Don't worry about Boyd, my lord," cried Gongsun Zan. This small injury was no big deal when it came to Gold injuries! "Please …" "AHH!" Gongsun Zan blinked, tears streaming down his face, moaning in pain. His hand couldn't help but touch the wound. With a pained expression on his face.
I looked at Gongsun Zan with concern and asked: "General Gongsun, please take care of your body! I'll have to rely on you in the future! There were many opportunities for war! Your body is related to the future of our army! " Hearing that, Gongsun Zan looked at me, he knew that I was doing it for his own good, and from my words, he could see that I valued him greatly. Adding that to the fact that he already knew that I was his master, he had no choice but to obey his orders. He bowed and said, "My lord, I shall obey!" But Gongsun Zan still really wanted to fight. I saw it and laughed: "General Gongsun, if you want to go out and fight, then lead your troops to attack the weakest unit of Liu Biao's army! You must remember, no matter what, you must not be injured! " Gongsun Zan was overjoyed upon hearing this, he was extremely grateful towards me for relieving his subordinates.
The plan was already set, and they were only waiting for Liu Biao Army to fall into their trap!
