Chapter 59 Execution Obstructed
Before becoming the King of Han, he went through many ups and downs and almost lost his life countless times. Every time he was in danger, it was this strong man in front of him who rushed to the front to rescue him.
When the army was raised, there were only a few dozen people, but it was not enough to achieve success. Fortunately, friends Lu Wan and Fan Kuai from the same hometown accompanied them, and Xiao He and Cao Shen assisted, so they were able to expand their power.
Among them, Fan Kuai's bravery was the most outstanding. Without him, it was difficult to repeatedly break the city and defeat the enemy. For many years, when talking about the bravery of the Han soldiers, Fan Kuai was considered to be the first and the sharp sword of the three armies.
Now, this tiger general, brother, will lose his head and face the death penalty after death. This makes Liu Bang feel melancholy and he can't help but sigh.
Liu Bang did not regret it, this was a helpless move. In order to stabilize the morale of the army, rely on Zhang Liang, and then defeat the powerful enemy, he had to do this. Otherwise, the city would be destroyed and people would die, and the leader of the Han Dynasty would be the first to suffer.
"I obey my orders!"
A voice sounded in the corner of the tower, and then a strong man walked out and walked until he was one meter in front of Fan Kuai before stopping.
This man was tall and thick, and he held a machete specially designed for beheading. He was the confidant of Liu Bang, the king of Han, who accompanied him when he came in and out, and was only responsible for beheading people.
The King of Han was the leader of a country and an army, and he was responsible for everything. He could punish traitors, traitors, and assassins at any time, so he established the post of imperial beheading guard, which was convenient and quick.
"What are you doing here? Execution immediately!" Seeing that the guard had stood still for a long time, Liu Bang immediately urged him.
"yes!"
The guard heard this and bowed to Liu Bang in response, then gritted his teeth and raised his knife, his eyes fixed on Fan Kuai.
His hand holding the knife was trembling, and he was panicking. He had cut down dozens of generals before, and he had never done this before, but the person he wanted to cut now was no ordinary general.
No general in the army can compare with the man in front of him. If he were to beheaded today, the guards knew that the order issued by their king would not be pursued, but the officers and soldiers of the Fan family army would not be spared. They did not dare to come obviously, but they would come.
dark.
Thinking of this, the guards were frightened. Wang Ling was in front, and revenge was behind. The front was a wolf and the rear was a tiger. Whether he was chopped or not, he would die. In this case, he could only bite the bullet and chop.
If you don't chop it, you don't obey the king's order, and you will be killed immediately, and you will be accused of resisting the king. If you chop it, you are following the king's order. Although there will be disaster later, at least you can live a few more days.
Thinking of this, the guard made up his mind, his face was covered with sweat, he looked at Fan Kuai's head, took a deep breath, and put his strength into his hands.
Holding the beheading sword tightly with both hands, the guard shouted fiercely and slashed at Fan Kuai with all his strength.
"Whoosh!"
The sound of an arrow piercing the air was heard, and the machete that was about to hit Fan Kuai suddenly stopped and fell to the ground.
The guard showed an extremely frightened expression, and the pain hit his whole body along with the sound. The next second, he fell to the ground with a "plop".
His eyes were wide open and there was no breath. An arrow was exposed in front of his belly, and blood was flowing continuously.
Fan Kuai, who was waiting to die, was stunned and didn't understand why.
Liu Bang's eyes widened in shock at this scene, and he became furious. He turned around and faced many generals.
"Who? Who shot the arrow? Stand up for me! Otherwise, when I catch you personally, the whole family will be punished!"
Liu Bang shouted angrily, his face was extremely angry, his eyes were filled with fire, and he glanced left and right at the generals.
The generals who were stared at by him lowered their heads one by one, did not speak, and did not stand up.
"It was me, Lu Wan, who shot the arrow! If your Majesty must kill Fan Kuai, please kill Lu Wan too!"
Among the generals, a man walked out angrily. He was strong and strong. He looked directly at Liu Bang without any fear.
Liu Bang stared deeply at the strong man, a little surprised, but not surprised. What was strange was that Lu Wan actually took action during the execution, and at this time actually said that he would die together with Fan Kuai.
Lu Wan and Fan Kuai were the first two people to follow him. Liu Bang had already expected that Lu Wan would not watch Fan Kuai die and would plead for mercy, but he did not expect that Lu Wan would disrupt the situation at a critical moment and behave so radically.
To obstruct him during the execution was a crime of treason, and to shoot the executioner in front of the king now was a crime of great disrespect. Two great crimes, evil crimes, were committed at this moment.
"Lu Wan, you have objections to Fan Kuai's crime and didn't say anything before the execution. Why did you attack the beheading officer during the execution? Do you regard the military law of the Han Dynasty as dirt? Do I, the King of Han, just a decoration in your eyes?"
Liu Bang pointed at Lu Wan and said angrily: "Since you want to die with Fan Kuai, I will help you! If you prevent a repeat offender from being punished and contradict me, you should be beheaded according to military law!"
The majestic voice spread throughout the three armies, mixed with the king's endless anger. After Liu Bang said this, he trembled a little, turned around, and no longer looked at Lu Wan.
"Hahaha……"
Hearing this, Lu Wan laughed and said: "Liu Bang, why am I afraid of death! I'm just a little chilled! I thought that even though you revealed Fan Kuai's crime, you wouldn't kill him in the end. I didn't expect that you could really do it!"
"It wasn't until the knife was about to hit Fan Kuai that I realized that you were determined to kill Fan Kuai, to kill this fellow countryman, and to behead a general with outstanding military exploits!"
"Though the three of us are monarchs and ministers, we are like brothers. Fan Kuai and I have followed you since the time you raised the army. Today, you will behead anyone you say. Do you have any humanity at all? If you want to kill me, come on. If I, Lu Wan, wrinkle
If you frown, you are not a good man!"
These words had a sense of sadness. Lu Wan had tears in her eyes as she spoke, and looked at Liu Bang with endless disappointment.
Over the years of resisting Qin and Chu, Lu Wan believed that she had tried her best and devoted herself to the sake of her fellow countrymen. She had lived and died with Fan Kuai for several years, but now she just abandoned him.
Liu Bang did not turn around, but said coldly: "The army has military laws, and those who violate the laws will be punished! I am the master of a country, how can I take the lead in breaking the laws? If the laws are broken, the country will not be a country and the army will not be an army. How can we unify the world?"
"
"Fan Kuai violated military law and must be punished according to law! How can I forgive him because of his personal relationship and his past military exploits? There is no friendship and merit before military law!"
Having said this, Liu Bang suddenly turned around, faced Lu Wan again, and said expressionlessly: "Come here, put Lu Wan and Fan Kuai together, and behead them all in public!"
As soon as he said this, Liu Bang snorted coldly, sat on the floor, opened his eyes wide, and stared at Lu Wan, eager to see the two of them die together.
The emperor was angry and blood flowed thousands of miles. The king of Han was angry and his relatives and friends refused to recognize him. Liu Bang made up his mind to let the whole world know the power of the king of Han today!
Military law is the foundation of an army and cannot be destroyed. Liu Bang understands this truth. Now he takes action on these two generals. Although he has lost two tiger generals, it will greatly increase the power of the army and will affect the world's view of the Han army. From this, people's opinions
Xiang, why worry about failing to achieve your great cause!
"My subordinates have the order!"
