The Conqueror Isn’t Alone

Half a month later, the 300,000 Chu troops in the two counties of Bashu were completely pacified. The troops returned to the court in a vast and overwhelming manner, passing through Hanzhong and stationed outside.

The jade lion had not been ignored by the rider for a long time, chewing the tenderest grass out of boredom. From time to time, his head full of doubts would look towards the direction of the main tent.

In the main military tent, a soulless puppet sat blankly, his eyes were lifeless, his limbs were stiff and stretched out, and he had not changed his posture for a long time.

Han Xin opened the curtain and entered the tent. Seeing Li Zuoche still looking at a loss, he sighed: My dear brother, you still haven't recovered?

Li Zuoche had never seen Lu Bu look so lost, and he shook his head worriedly.

Han Xin couldn't help but sigh again.

Even though he had witnessed the wise brother's behavior several times because he could not bear the blows and refused to listen, he had never seen such a powerful one.

He not only has to lead the military affairs as a deputy general, but also takes care of his wise brother, so he has been very busy these days.

In a few days, I will return to Xianyang, but my dear brother is still in a state of being out of body, and I will definitely ask His Majesty to ask about it personally.

How will it be explained then?

Han Xin couldn't help but feel a little sad when he thought of His Majesty's righteousness that day.

But looking at the defeated virtuous brother with a gray expression, he searched his mind and didn't know where to start.

To be fair, if he was like his good brother, who finally grasped the powerful enemy with a blood feud in his palm, but because of...he kicked the person violently in anger, and actually kicked the person to death on the spot, I'm afraid It will also be difficult to calm down.

In Lu Bu's eyes, Liu Bang had personally led the troops to fight for several years, and he had the physique of a military general.

Moreover, this mouse has a tenacious life, and has been turned into good fortune several times, which can be said to have brought him back to life.

While he was living a miserable life of dining and drinking dew, this guy was living a nurturing life in Chengdu with a group of beautiful concubines, fine clothes and fine food. Even though he was old, he should not be regarded as an outsider. Strong, but still very dry and empty-handed!

But the most incredible thing happened right under Lu Bu's eyes.

——But he said that that day, he was so angry that he forgot to restrain his strength when he kicked out, and actually kicked Liu Bang, a seven-foot-three-inch tall man, nearly a foot high and flew ten feet away. .

When Liu Bang landed with a crash, his whole body was covered in dust and dirt.

His head tilted, his eyes half-closed in a daze, his face pressed against the rough stone bricks, but he remained motionless.

No one knew that a ray of red and dazzling blood was flowing out from the corner of his slightly open mouth.

Lu Bu had been subdued by Xiang Hanzi several times with brute force, so how could he know the terrifying power of his angry kick?

Seeing this bastard rat who knew how to make up unpleasant things with his mouth, relied on his old cunning, and couldn't help but bully the dim-witted Xiang Hanzi, he shut up. He thought that the other party was finally afraid, so he said proudly and disdainfully He snorted.

It's really shameless for an old rat to bully a small one!

He turned around and looked at the silent Han officials with a heavy gaze. He first nodded at Xiao He, who looked the most elegant and calm, and said lightly: This must be Prime Minister Xiao.

Xiao He gave a wry smile, and in the eyes of his colleagues who looked worried, he sighed and said, Xiao He is here.

Lu Bu looked at him expressionlessly for a while, then glanced at the cheap guy standing next to him like a fool, and thought it was too subtle: You... have anything to say?

The general is resourceful and has many ingenious strategies. We are not as good as me, Xiao He said calmly: I only hope that King Xiang will love his people with benevolent government, be willing to forgive the family members of the defeated, and never stop people's sacrifices. Why should I ask the general to give him a quick death?

After saying this, he closed his eyes, his expression was pure, and he seemed to have nothing to say.

Lu Bu narrowed his eyes slightly, and suddenly responded with the word good happily, and praised casually: Look, although you are a scholar, you are also straightforward and cheerful. I will help you today!

Speaking of this, under the desperate eyes of the generals, Lu Bu raised his hand calmly: Drag him down!

The next moment, Xiao He was roughly pushed to the ground by several ferocious Chu soldiers, his feet dragged to the ground, and he was dragged away in a very embarrassed posture.

Not long after, a shrill scream came from not far away, causing those who heard it to either feel sad in their hearts, or knowing that they were bound to die, so they broke down and cursed on the spot.

The Li brothers who scolded him the most were full of words that Lu Bu didn't understand, but he knew they were definitely not good words.

He would not be impatient and wait for Li Shiqi to finish using his eloquent tongue, and then after listening to three or four sentences with an expressionless face, he would lose what little he had gained. Poor patience.

He even skipped the step of ordering people to drag him down and deal with it outside. He simply swung his two swords, and the two heads with ferocious faces that had just been cursing incessantly rolled to the ground.

Hot blood splashed in a waterfall, rushing straight towards the other people kneeling beside him.

Lu Bu escaped in time and still looked clean.

The iron-cut edge of the Long Yuan Sword was still bleeding slowly. He was neither in a hurry to wipe it nor to return it to its sheath. Instead, he calmly named the next person: General Cao, you Do you have something to say?

Cao Cen shook his head silently.

After a long while, Fang Xi spat out eight words like gold: Kill or behead, please do as you please.

From beginning to end, his eyes were calm, and he never looked at Liu Bang, who was lying quietly in the distance with a disgraceful face, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.

The iron horse has been on the glacier for several years, wearing frost-cold iron armor and forgetting to die on the battlefield.

Although he has seen Liu Bang's true nature clearly recently and has been chilled, he has always lived up to his lord.

Live up to the righteousness in your heart.

Now that all benevolence and justice have been exhausted, he can die calmly.

After Cao Shen finished speaking, he closed his eyes and waited for death quietly like Xiao He did before.

Lu Bu stared at him indifferently for a moment, then stroked his palms and praised: He is not afraid of battle, nor is he afraid of death. He is really a strong man!

Cao Shen was indifferent, his heart was as calm as water.

But some of the Han officials' eyes lit up, as if they could tell from these words that there might be a chance of survival.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Lu Bu finished stroking his palms, their illusions were completely shattered the next moment: ——Why are you standing there in a daze? Why don't you lead this warrior on the road!

Cao Shen was also dragged out.

Under the uneasy gazes of the Han officials, no matter how proud and strong a man he was, he still let out a scream that made the hair stand on end at the moment of execution.

Although they did not see Xiao He and Cao Shen beheading each other with their own eyes, the bodies of the two Li brothers were so close in front of them that everyone felt sad. How could they have thought of the second possibility?

After Lu Bu got over these addictions, he finally stopped naming everyone in person.

Wu found a place on the city wall bricks and sat down, as if he was listening to the cheap man's questions one by one, but in fact he kept watching the rat pretending to be dead with vigilance out of the corner of his eye.

And because he had nothing to do, he simply used his clothes and sleeves to carefully wipe the remaining blood on the sword's edge, and then neatly put it away.

The moment the Long Yuan sword was returned to its sheath, the group of people who were shocked by this moody yet murderous evil star breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.

Except for the few people headed by Zhou Bo and Lu Ze, who also chose to lead the way to death like Xiao He and Cao Shen, most of the remaining ministers under Liu Bang chose to surrender knowing the current affairs and were willing to serve the new master.

Han Xin slightly turned his head and looked at Xiandi for advice.

This old man can make the decision on such a trivial matter, so what's the point of asking him to give instructions?

Lu Bu cursed secretly and nodded absently.

Xiao He and Cao Shen, who were dragged down by his men, were still alive and well. They were just knocked unconscious and tied up, ready to be taken back to Xianyang together.

After that, no matter whether they were willing to surrender to Da Chu or not, he would be able to save their lives.

When the stupid emperor's world is completely settled, if these two people still don't want to stay and work and can't cause any trouble, then they can let it go.

Lu Bu looked indifferent, but his mind unknowingly drifted back to that day downstairs at Baimen.

Xiao He is capable of making good plans, but his heart is filled with despair.

The brave and loyal Cao Shen.

Once upon a time, he also had the blessing of Liu Mozi!

After many days, he was aroused by this familiar scene. After a long absence, he thought of the nagging Gongtai who had the same bright mind and always tried to persuade him... and the person who usually worked hard and never complained. Even if he was angry, he would only be depressed. There is still a lot of work to do.

As the saying goes, he who knows the current affairs is a hero, and he will keep the green hills without having to worry about having no firewood. Regardless of whether he was dead or not, he wouldn't care about whether the two of them would vote for another master.

He would rather they live longer, and it would be better for them to talk in the ears of the old thief Cao more and make the old thief who pretends to be a sage have more headaches, so that he can vent his bad breath.

——And don’t let the old thief Cao be chopped up openly and openly.

He let Xiao He and Cao Shen go today, hoping that after he was hanged in Baimen Tower, Cao Cao would be as noble as him and let go of Chen Gong and Gao Shun.

The more Lu Bu thought about it, the more upset he became, and he simply didn't look at the people in the scene.

After his eyes swept around for a while, he suddenly froze.

When Han Xin was about to find Brother Xian and ask questions, he suddenly saw Brother Xian's jaw frozen in mid-air and his eyes slowly widening, as if he had seen something incredible.

Is there anything wrong?

Under Han Xin's puzzled gaze, Lu Bu turned his head stiffly and looked straight at Liu Mouse, who had been motionless from beginning to end, with his face almost buried in the ground, but there was a dazzling scarlet color gradually spreading, and he felt in his heart There was a thump.

...Isn’t that enough?

Lu Bu vaguely remembered that he was very upset because of the unpleasant words just now, so when he kicked that foot, he must have used a lot of force.

But this Liu Mouse is very tough, and he is also a general who can fight on horseback. This body of flesh is not in vain.

How could he not even be able to withstand the power of his kick?

An ominous premonition gradually filled his heart. Lu Bu almost held his breath and walked forward with a solemn expression. He leaned over and reached out to turn Liu Mouse over.

But Liu Mozi's body was extremely stiff, and he was turned over like a piece of wood.

Lu Bu took a closer look and was shocked to see that the mouse's eyes were half-closed, but already blurry, and his nose and mouth were stained with dried blood...

Damn it, this rat is so good at pretending to be dead that he almost bluffed me!

Lu Bu forced himself to pretend to be confused, and after cursing Liu Mouse in his heart for being cunning, he reached out to detect his breath the next moment.

——No breath at all.

The breath can be faked through the breath, how can it be taken seriously?

Lu Bu still didn't give up, and with a dark face, he probed the side of Liu Mouse's neck with his fingertips.

However, the person was already dead, how could he come back after being probed a few times?

He pressed the cold neck in a full circle, but couldn't hold down any heat or the beating of Lu Bu...

His eyes were dull and he sat on the ground blankly.

——My heart seemed to fall to the ground with a thud, completely cold.
