Waves at the end of Han Dynasty

Chapter 90 The Confucian Faith
Jiuyuan County, Wuyuan County, Bingzhou.

It has been windy in the north these past few days, and the wind is still very strong. The yellow sand is dancing and the sky is dark.The wind was so wild that even if they were in a neat formation, they could still feel the strong thrust. The big flags rooted around the school field all bent down, and the flags seemed to be torn from the flagpoles.

But even in such bad weather, Lu Bu did not let the flying knights stop their drills. He even said that it was because of such bad weather that he became more excited, thinking that it was a good opportunity to improve the combat power of the troops.

Needless to say, he took the lead, demonstrating various fighting skills in an environment with limited vision.

"If you can feel the pain, it just means that you are still alive! Only living people are worthy of feeling! Only through pain can you defeat a powerful enemy!"

Lu Bu's sharp voice pierced the overlapping wind and waves, reaching the ears of every soldier.

So, under his leadership, the soldiers practiced formation and concealment against the cold wind.

At this moment, a scout came to report, and the guard Xianbei Zhonglang sent an envoy to Mr. Lu Zhi.

Who is Lu Zhi?Lu Bu secretly wondered, he had no contact with him, how could he find him here?
He temporarily handed over the training to the lieutenant general, and went to the camp of the Chinese army by himself. After meeting with Lu Zhi's envoy, the other party presented Master Lu's letter.

Lu Bu directly skipped the polite words surrounded by clouds and mountains and mist, and looked at the main topic:
"Today, the leader of Xianbei, Tan Shihuai, is brave and vigorous, and there are many treacherous changes. All the subordinates under his command are wolves. Everywhere he goes, the people are ruined, the houses are ruined, and the property is robbed. A certain order, the governor of the North All the armies in the territory are insulting powerful enemies from abroad, but the wars in the north are still frequent, and the powerful troops are scattered. Although there are wise and brave talents, they live in Xialiao; Brilliant inside and outside the city walls, martial virtues are inspiring among Shiwu, it is really a rare talent. Today, under the command of Emperor Wei of Han Dynasty, Jia Jun is the Sima of Bingzhou Biebu. The king takes state affairs as the most important thing, and the people are the most important, take orders to kill the enemy, and build new honors, Zhi and the general encourage them together!"

Lu Bu laughed and said:
"Isn't it always good for me to resist the barbarians here alone? Why accept the intervention of the court? Then there will be another intrigue, and a good thing will become a bad thing!"

Ever since he was cheated by the court officials last time, he has been a little disgusted with these people who play tricks. Although he doesn't know Lu Zhi, he is afraid that he is also of the same kind.

He looked at his subordinate Zhang Yang with the intention of asking, and Zhang Yang knew the truth and told the truth:

"General, this General Lu Zigan is a disciple of the great Confucian Ma Rong, the leader of Hebei Confucian classics, and he is world-renowned! He dares to speak up, and he is by no means comparable to the eunuchs and corrupt officials before. We are here now Trouble is not a long-term solution, so why not join here, it is also a good opportunity. Besides, the letter stated that this other Sima is stationed in Bingzhou, and there is no restriction on forming an independent army. There is not much change from before, and the general still needs to think about it in the long run!"

Lu Bu was a little moved after hearing Zhang Yang's calculations, but he still had to confirm again before he could be sure, so he said:

"Since that's the case, you are my envoy, and let Lu Zhi return the horse that the eunuch took from me, and then we can talk about the funeral!"

Lingzhi County, Liaoxi County, Youzhou.

Gongsun Zan raised a volunteer army of more than a thousand riders here, busy every day building weapons, practicing tactics, and vigilantly investigating the movements of the grassland tribes.

As a brave man under the Gongsun clan in Liaodong, Gongsun Zan's rebel army received the great support of the clan.

The imperial court hadn't noticed this place for a long time, and I heard that Lu Zhi was sent here recently to take up the post of General Protector of Xianbei, responsible for the defense of the northern border.

Gongsun Zan has always wanted to visit his former teacher. However, he is not free now. Firstly, he cannot leave because of his busy military affairs.

On this day, when Ma came to report, Lu Zhi sent an envoy to send a letter, and Gongsun Zan hurriedly read it:
"Yi Jun used to read along the porch, and all sages and sages studied diligently. Even though they were young, their intelligence was profound, and they always outperformed their peers. I was encouraged in my heart: this handsome man will be of great use! Unexpectedly, time flies, and after so many years, I have never met again. I heard that Bogui's talent has become famous, and the omens of the past have come true! Now the imperial court wants to manage and merge the two prefectures, and defend Xianbei in the north. Since I became the general of Xianbei Zhonglang, I have always thought about reuniting the army and horses, selecting the best and dividing the garrison, and guarding against the flames of war. , choose the opportunity to move. Bogui should cherish this good opportunity now, and use the other Sima to control the northern border together. This is the right way, don't hesitate!"

Gongsun Zan was overjoyed, because there was nowhere to find him through his iron shoes, and it took no effort to get it. He immediately ordered the army horses of his headquarters, with his younger brother Gongsun Yue as the guard and Yan Gang as the deputy general, and went to Dangcheng of Daijun to join Lu Zhi.

Yuyang County, Yuyang County, Youzhou.

Lieutenant Zhang Chun also received the letter from Lu Zhizheng, but unlike others, he became angry after reading the letter, and his eyes were not right when he looked at it.

He slapped the letter on the desks, snorted coldly, and asked:
"You are really Lu Zhi's emissary, not some spy?"

The emissary was a little surprised. Although he heard that Zhang Chun was arrogant, he didn't understand why he asked such a question. He just waited for the answer:
"Your Majesty was indeed sent by Master Lu to invite you to take up the post."

Zhang Chun said with a half-smile:

"But I doubt it. Who is Mr. Lu? He has read the chapters and sentences, and is proficient in rituals. How can he not distinguish between superiors and inferiors? Isn't it a big joke for someone to be a Sima of another department as a captain? Is it deceitful?"

In the Han Dynasty, the captain's official position was more than two thousand shi, but Lu Zhi's letter only added him the position of Sima of another department, which was only a one thousand shi position. But Zhang Chun was very angry.

The envoy was so frightened that he quickly saluted and said:

"Ming Gongrong, now that the Northland is full of waste, Master Lu himself is only a general who protects Xianbei. If he wants to appoint a higher official position, he will have to report to Beijing on a flying horse and wait for the news. It has been delayed for a long time, and the situation is urgent, so we can only act in a hurry. My lord has already promised that those who have military merits in the future will be given to the captain first!"

Zhang Chun narrowed his eyes slightly, waved his hands and said:
"Now that the world has changed, don't you hear that the big man doesn't conspire with Zhu Zi? Then who is Lu Bu? Who is Gongsun Zan? They are all white! Now they are also Sima of another department. Wouldn't it be intentional to humiliate me if I want someone to be on the same level as this?"

The messenger wanted to explain something more, but was stopped by Zhang Chun.He stood up and said coldly:
"A certain has never been an official in the court, and I don't know the rules and regulations of today's officialdom. Let me travel thousands of miles, it is better to stay here. There are many talents in this huge northern border. I hope Master Lu doesn't have to think of Zhang Chun. , go find another job!"

The envoy was stunned, faltering and saying:

"Zhang... this... this is a major national event!"

Zhang Chun sneered and said:
"I'm here, so I can't do national affairs? Come and see off—"

He angrily drove away the people sent by Lu Zhi, and said in his heart: Don't think that if you are evil, the Shangguan will submit to you, a Confucian scholar, what kind of battle does a literati fight, there is still another way to solve this problem!
"Come here, get your horse ready, I want to go to Xianyu's main house."
