Everyone's pleas made Niu Fu, whose eyes turned red, burst into tears on the spot.
The tears kept falling.
"Why don't you obey?
Why must we disobey military orders and lead to a great defeat?
You are my old subordinate and you have been following me for so many years. You should not make such a mistake!
Why do you have to be like this..."
Faced with Guo Si's plea and the pleas of all the generals, the unshaven Niu Fu burst into tears.
"My subordinate, I was wrong. I shouldn't have been obsessed with things, and I shouldn't have known the law and violated it. Please ask the lieutenant to punish you."
Guo Bang knelt on the ground, flustered by Niu Fu's tears and attitude.
At the same time, he felt deeply in his heart and did not give up the struggle because of this. He still wanted to claim his own life.
"It is wrong to know the law and break it. As a captain under me, you should obey military orders more than anyone else, but you took the lead and openly defied it, causing extremely serious consequences.
From a personal point of view, I really can't bear to kill you, and I really can't bear to act according to military orders. After all, you have been with me for so long, and you have worked hard without any merit.
But from a public perspective, I must kill you, so that rewards and punishments can be clearly defined, and military discipline can be improved..."
Ushifu said with tears in his eyes.
As he was talking, he suddenly broke out. He kicked Guo Bang to the ground with a fierce kick, and shouted: "You idiot, why do you do such a stupid thing!
If you do something wrong, I can just turn a blind eye!
But why the hell do you have to do this?!"
While he was yelling and scolding, he kept kicking her with his foot. Tears were already streaming down his face.
Guo Si, who had previously been dissatisfied and felt that he had been wronged, couldn't help crying. Faced with his old boss's true feelings, he was filled with shame.
He really regretted why he acted so randomly before, why did he do this!
But when things got to this point, it was too late to say anything...
Niu Fu wiped his eyes hard, calmed down his emotions, looked at Guo Bang and said: "Leave with peace of mind. I will take good care of your family. As long as Niu Fu is here, I will never let them be harmed."
What suffering.”
What else could Guo Si say at this time?
All I could do was kneel there and kowtow, thank Niu Fu for his kindness, admit his mistakes and repent for the stupid things he had done.
If I beg to be let go, I really can’t say it at this time.
"Execution!"
Niu Fu took a deep breath and shouted.
"Don't do this to me and disobey military orders!"
Guo Si shouted loudly, like an old ape wailing.
I want to die with dignity.
The military judge holding a sharp sword beside him heard this and slashed hard with the sword in his hand.
"puff!"
The sound rang out, and Guo Si's shouting stopped abruptly.
Blood spurted out, and his head rolled to the ground.
The three armies are in awe!
After all, it was not anyone else who was killed, but Guo Si!
He is Niu Fu's old subordinate, one of the four captains under his command!
But today, he was killed by Niu Fu with tears in his eyes!
How can this not shock them?
Military orders cannot be disobeyed!
This is the biggest thought that arises in everyone's mind.
Huang Zhong, Zhang Yi, Zhou Cang, Gao Shun and other generals who were originally under Liu Cheng had some changes in their views on Niu Fu.
This Niu Fu was able to be assigned an important task by Dong Zhuo, lead troops to garrison at Aotou Pass, and become the commander-in-chief of a party. He was also capable and not just a simple idiot.
Not to mention the rest, it can be seen just from the tearful execution of Guo Si today.
At this time, Niu Fu, who had turned around when the military judge was executing the sentence, looked at Guo Si who had fallen to the ground dead with his head missing, and suddenly burst into mourning and cried miserably.
Fan Chou and others came to persuade Niu Fu.
Let him not be overly sad. Guo Si is here today because of his own fault and cannot blame anyone else.
Niu Fu cried: "I'm not crying for Guo Si, I'm crying for the soldiers who followed Guo Si out and never came back!
If I had been able to see Guo Si to death before, Guo Si would not have done such a thing and sent so many good men to death!"
Hearing this, everyone was in awe again...
Guo Si's body was collected and carried away.
All troops and horses returned to their camps.
But everyone felt solemn in their hearts.
Including those who always wanted to go to war, wanted to kill the Xiliang people and gain great achievements in the war, they all stopped having such thoughts in their hearts.
Don't dare to think of acting recklessly again.
After all, the impact of what just happened was too great!
A lieutenant like Guo Si would be beheaded as soon as he was told!
Niu Fu cried miserably, but when he started to kill, he didn't show any mercy.
With Guo Si's lessons learned, they thought it would be better for them to stay calm.
They are not as strong as Guo Si, do not have Guo Si's status, and do not have Guo Si's relationship with Niu Fu...
In Niu Fu's tent, listening to the guards' report on the changes that had occurred in the army after killing Guo Si, Niu Fu, whose eyes were still a little red, nodded.
He felt really uncomfortable after killing Guo Si, but after learning about the gratifying changes that occurred after Guo Si was killed, he suddenly felt less uncomfortable.
After all, Guo Si did have a way to die, and his death was valuable and meaningful.
After Niu Fu heard the soldiers' comments about his selflessness, fairness and strictness, the discomfort in his heart became less, and the whole person became very happy.
I even thought in my heart, how nice it would be if someone like this pops up later and has him be chopped down with tears...
"Hurry up and ask Wen Ruo to come over."
After feeling happy for a while, Niu Fu spoke up and said to the soldiers.
After a while, Xun Yu came to Niu Fu's camp.
Niu Fu immediately got up and went outside the camp to greet him personally.
He treated Xun Yu with great respect and enthusiasm.
At this time, Xun Yu had used his wisdom to conquer Niu Fu and gained Niu Fu's trust.
If Niu Fu trusted Xun Yu before, it was because of Liu Cheng, then now, his trust in Xun Yu and his respect for Xun Yu were completely won by Xun Yu through his own wisdom.
Whether he came up with a plan last night to preserve his own strength, prevent more soldiers from dying in vain, and easily resolve the Xiliang people's conspiracy, or he suggested to himself later that he should deal with Guo Si in this way, he achieved excellent results.
The successive success of the two things gave Niu Fu a taste that he had rarely tasted before. He naturally treated Xun Yu with respect, but it was naturally different.
"Mr. Wen Ruo, thanks to you and my advice, otherwise Aotou Pass would never be as stable as it is now."
Niu Fu welcomed Xun Yu into the tent and spoke respectfully to Xun Yu.
Xun Yu said: "It's not that my strategy is good, but that General Zhonglang has strong execution ability. No matter how good the strategy is, it still needs someone to execute it before it can have its due effect.
If the execution ability is not strong, it is not impossible to have counter-effects."
Niu Fu was very impressed by what he heard, and his evaluation of Xun Yu became even higher.
This is a person who can do things and knows how to do things.
After a few words with Xun Yu, he asked how to deal with the more than 110 Xiliang soldiers who had sneaked in.
If Niu Fu had followed Niu Fu's previous thoughts, he would not have asked others about this matter and would have directly killed these people one by one.
Then someone would give these heads to Ma Chao, and then send some extremely arrogant words to humiliate the other party.
Make the other party furious.
But now, after experiencing Xun Yu's wisdom one after another, he felt that when he did this, it would be better to ask Xun Yu first.
In this case, you will be more confident when doing things.
Maybe we can get a more perfect method from Xun Yu.
Hearing this, Xun Yu thought for a while, then cupped his hands to Niu Fu and said: "The emperor said that attacking with soldiers and horses, fighting with real swords and spears is part of it, but attacking the heart is the most important..."
Of course, these words were not spoken by Liu Cheng and Xun Yu.
But Xun Yu saw it elsewhere.
The reason why Liu Cheng said it was because Xun Yu discovered that Niu Fu was very convinced of Liu Cheng.
Saying what he said was said by Liu Cheng can increase credibility and make it easier for Niu Fu to act according to what he said.
It seems that it is not unreasonable for later generations to like to put Master Lu's name after some words.
This has happened since ancient times.
Sure enough, after hearing Xun Yu say that this was what Liu Cheng said, Niu Fu immediately nodded cooperatively and said convincingly: "Kede is right."
Seeing this, Xun Yu continued: "I heard that Han Sui, Ma Teng and others had spread rumors in Xiliang before, saying that after the Grand Master conquered Xiliang, they would massacre the people of Xiliang, so
Many talents in Xiliang will stand up and follow the two thieves Ma Teng and Han Sui to death.
The people of Xiliang are united, and this rumor has given great power.
If we can get rid of this rumor and let the Xiliang soldiers and many Xiliang people know that this matter is false and a lie made up by the traitors Han Sui and Ma Teng, then the fighting spirit of the Xiliang people will be greatly shattered.
…
The effect will be greater than fighting with this sword and a real gun.
So I think these soldiers should be put back.
Of course, before putting them back, we need to make things clear to them and tell them that we have not told them all, nor do we have any intention of killing them in Liangzhou.
Tell them that we have really won Liangzhou, and that is the greatest blessing for ordinary people.
Mintun will be implemented there..."
After Xun Yu finished speaking, Niu Fu nodded and said, "What Wen Ruo said is the most reasonable thing to say. Even if we do this, I'm afraid the effect will be limited..."
Xun Yu smiled and said: "It's okay, the effect is limited, but it can still produce results after all.
Moreover, since this is done, it is not only this one method, but also other methods to coordinate with it."
As Xun Yu said this, he took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Niu Fu for Niu Fu to look at.
Niu Fu is literate, but he was really embarrassed in order to learn how to read.
The father-in-law, who was not his father-in-law at the time, issued a strict order that if he could not read three thousand words, he would not be allowed to marry her daughter.
Under such circumstances, Niu Fu learned it quickly.
After reading the paper handed over by Xun Yu for a while, Niu Fu showed a smile on his face.
This thing is well written and can be understood at a glance. The words are all easy to recognize and there are no uncommon words.
We need to find more people, let everyone work together, and copy more, and when the time comes, it will be spread among Ma Chao's army, and it will definitely have a great effect!
Niu Fu looked at Xun Yu, then at the paper in his hand, and kept sighing in his heart. Compared with people like himself, this scholar's way of doing things is different.
"I'll wait a minute and gather all the generals who can write and let them start copying together. When the time comes, we must give Xiliang Ma Chao and other thieves a big surprise."
Niu Fu said aloud, with some excitement.
Xun Yu smiled and said: "Don't bother me, Zhonglang will take a look at this."
As he spoke, he handed the small package in his hand to Niu Fu. Niu Fu took it and opened it. He found that it was filled with written paper. The content on the paper was exactly the same as what he was holding.
But soon, Ushifu discovered something was wrong.
These dozens of pieces of paper are not only identical in content, but also the words on each one are the same!
There is no difference!
Is this the strength of top scholars?
Not only is his strategy great, he is also so skillful in writing!
He looked at Xun Yu, his face full of shock.
Seeing this, Xun Yu naturally knew that Niu Fu was wrong.
He immediately smiled and said: "It's not what General Zhonglang thought, but when the emperor's uncle was in Yushan, he asked his subordinates to research a good thing called printing.
Just engrave the required content on the board, put ink on it, and then put paper on it, and you can get things with the same content continuously.
Especially suitable for things that require a lot of repetition.
Just like these in my hands.
A person who is proficient in this technology can get almost five thousand copies of the same thing in one day..."
"Fuck!"
When Niu Fu heard this, his mouth suddenly opened up, and he brought this Liu Cheng here unintentionally, and said the beautiful words to express the highest degree of shock.
Even Niu Fu, a person who doesn't know much about science, knows how uncomfortable it is to write this.
There are no less than five hundred characters on the paper in my hand.
If a person wants to write neatly, if he keeps writing all day long, being able to write hundreds of pages is already extremely unbelievable.
As a result, Xun Yu now told him that with the printing technology created by Kede, one person could actually produce five thousand sheets a day.
Moreover, it doesn’t matter whether you can read or not!
For Niu Fu, who had suffered a lot in his studies, how could this not shock him?
This thing created by Ke De can really bear the words "Fuck!"
If it were someone else who told Niu Fu about this, Niu Fu might not believe it.
But now, it was Xun Yu who told him this, and also said that Liu Cheng did it, so Niu Fu really believed it.
Any weird or unconventional thing that happens to Liu Cheng will feel very reasonable to Niu Fu.
After all, he has seen too much.
Now if there are more, it won't matter.
However, sometimes, Niu Fu couldn't help but wonder how much he, Kede's niece and son-in-law, knew...
The strategy has been set, all that remains is execution.
Soon, someone went to explain things to the Xiliang people who had been gathered again.
This matter was done by Xun Yu himself.
Xun Yu has extremely strong abilities in speaking and doing things.
You can increase the credibility of things through your gentle image and words.
Of course, he said these words in conjunction with loosening ties with these people and having people bring food to them to eat.
Coupled with such practical actions, the credibility of his words can be increased to the greatest extent...
"Remember, when you go back, you must tell your companions and more people in Liangzhou that they are also the people of the Han Dynasty and the people of the Han Dynasty.
Master Dong only fights against rebels.
If you don't follow the rebels and cause chaos, you won't pay attention.
If you don't resist the king's master, the sword will not hit you.
Without resistance, there will be no bloodshed..."
In front of Aotou Pass, Xun Yu looked at these people and made his final explanation.
After the explanation was completed, he waved people to open the door of Aotou Pass and let these people out.
After walking out of Aotou Pass, these Xiliang soldiers still felt that it was full of unreality.
According to the news they knew, Guanzhong was very unfriendly to Xiliang.
If you want to attack Liangzhou, you will be massacred after taking Liangzhou.
These people, after being identified last night, were already prepared to be killed.
As a result, they are now being released without any conditions.
This really surprised them.
If they thought that the gentle scribe was lying to them when they were in the pass, now many people feel that the scribe is not telling lies.
Could it be that the news that I and others knew before were really false?
Is someone really deliberately deceiving people?
With the joy of surviving the disaster and some doubts, they walked briskly towards the location of the military camp...
…
Ma Chao was in a bad mood and did not lead his troops to attack Aotou Pass today.
The place where we were stationed yesterday had a lot of ashes and was no longer suitable for camping, so we moved to the edge and camped there.
The camp is already halfway up.
It’s understandable that Ma Chao is in a bad mood.
After all, he was finally able to lead an army on the battlefield and felt that he would become famous all over the world.
Being confused by their various performances, Aotou Pass will be easily broken through by him.
As a result, there has been no breakthrough until now.
Although there were beheadings, they themselves suffered casualties.
This was quite different from what he had thought before, which gave him a strong sense of frustration...
All the methods he had thought of before were exhausted, and Ma Chao was a little confused for a while as to what method he should use next to break through the Aotou barrier.
But he must find a way to break through the first pass as quickly as possible.
On the one hand, it was because, after procrastinating for a long time, Guanzhong was afraid of getting the news and sending troops to support.
Secondly, Ma Chao is young and energetic and is ready to express himself well through fighting.
He wanted to let his father, the people of Liangzhou, and everyone in the world see his combat prowess. If he did not break through Aotou Pass before his father led the follow-up army, his frustration would be even greater...
"Brother, why don't we send some troops and go around somewhere else..."
Ma Dai came to Ma Chao, looked at Ma Chao and said loudly.
Ma Chao thought for a while and said: "I'm afraid it won't be easy to do. We have already investigated the terrain here clearly. Aotou Pass is the only passage.
The rest of the place is full of steep mountains, otherwise the traitors in the pass would not have built passes and stationed troops here.
Moreover, there are many soldiers and horses at Aotou Pass. If you want to be able to threaten the people there and cross over, you will need at least a thousand people to be able to do it unexpectedly..."
Ma Dai pointed in the direction of Aotou Pass and said: "But brother, if we don't take risks and take the wrong side of the sword, how can we quickly break through Aotou Pass?
Our vanguard team is still too small in number. Before uncle and his army come, it will not be easy to storm Aotou Pass...
Moreover, when Liu Cheng and Liu Kede attacked Yizhou before, they sent their general Zhang Wenyuan to Xichuan via the Yinping Trail.
Thus taking Nishikawa in one fell swoop.
He can do this, why can’t we?”
Hearing Ma Dai's words, Ma Chao immediately became energetic.
After all, he regarded Liu Cheng as his opponent in his heart.
"My brother is right, why can Liu Cheng, the traitor, do this, but we can't?
I will select a thousand soldiers and set off today to find a path through the mountains to give these people a big surprise!"
Ma Dai hurriedly said: "Brother is a vanguard, how can he do this?
Moreover, if the brother is absent for many days and the thief finds out the news, he will definitely be suspicious, and the brother's reputation will not be prominent and will not attract anyone's attention.
It’s best for me to do this..."
The two talked for a while, and finally decided on the matter, and Ma Dai would lead the troops to do it.
"If this happens, brother, you should be the first to do it!"
Ma Chao looked at Ma Dai and said this.
Ma Dai shook his head and said: "I don't want to be the leader. I just want to be able to defeat Guanzhong and keep our status and wealth..."
…
Ma Dai selected his soldiers, organized his supplies, and left the camp that day.
Instead of looking directly north, we marched about ten miles toward Xiliang before turning north.
Walk north for a while, then turn and head east...
"Pioneer! The brothers who followed the thieves last night and were trapped in Aotou Pass are back!"
Ma Chao bid farewell to Ma Dai and was standing here in trance when suddenly an army general came running all the way to report the news to Ma Chao.
Ma Chao couldn't help being stunned when he heard this, and then asked: "How did they come back?"
He already had some bad feelings in his heart, worried that these people had their heads chopped off and were sent back.
In fact, the biggest reason why he did not lead his troops to Aotou Pass today was not because the soldiers and horses were tired as he said.
Instead, he was worried that after today, he would see Niu Fu order people to throw a bunch of heads off the wall and then mock him in public.
He has just grown up, has experienced few things, and is an extremely proud person. If such a thing really happens, he will not be able to lose face.
But now, his subordinates came to tell him that these people were back...
"I walked back by myself."
The words of his general made Ma Chao stunned again.
