Chapter 154 Northwest Shanxi, it should be a mess!

Hearing what Lu Zhi said, Liu Bei quickly realized what Lu Zhi meant.

"Teacher, what do you mean, are you worried that Yang Ci will play tricks behind us?"

"You and I are both leading the army, isn't this Yang Ci's best chance?"

Lu Zhi worried: "The reason why there is a saying of decisive victory thousands of miles away when marching and fighting is that there is also the possibility of doing bad things thousands of miles away. With Yang Ci's hatred for us, if he can stay in Luoyang safely and do nothing Action, I don't believe it."

Of course, Liu Bei couldn't pretend that he didn't hear what Lu Zhi said. Of course he knew that Yang Ci would not let go of this opportunity, but he believed that He Jin and Zhang Rang would make a move, and Yang Ci would not let Yang Ci do anything substantive. destruction.

As long as Yang Ci has a brain, he will not do any substantial damage.

However, Lu Zhi's worries are not completely unreasonable. Although it cannot cause substantial damage, any rumors and the like are indeed enough for Lu Zhi to drink a pot.

Anyway, the core idea of ​​party struggle is that it is more uncomfortable for the enemy to make meritorious deeds than for me to make mistakes.

Liu Bei thought of the party struggle in the late Ming Dynasty and the Liaodong crisis at that time. It can be explained that the complete collapse of the situation in Liaodong at the end of the Ming Dynasty had a very direct relationship with the party struggle within the imperial court. Corruption is so obvious.

Some officials who were former officials of the Yang family submitted a form to the emperor based on this, requesting to urge Lu Zhi to attack Julu County as soon as possible, eliminate the besieged Yellow Turbans, and then sweep Jizhou as soon as possible to end the battle.

It is true that the ship capsized in the gutter.

He ran into a main force of the Yellow Turban Army led by Busi, Zhang Bo, Liang Zhongning and others in Dongjun. He fought back and was deflated.

Zhu Jun was cautious at first, but he was worried because of Luoyang's weird political situation, and he didn't dare to let go of his hands and feet. When he lost the first battle, he felt that he had encountered a ruthless person. He was greatly surprised and restrained the army to move forward slowly, step by step, cautiously.

Zhang Mancheng is a capable person. As one of Zhang Jiao's direct disciples, he managed the Taipingdao forces in Nanyang very early on.

The cause of the incident was that after the end of April, the Luzhi Front Army in the north, which had received five consecutive victories, did not continue to report victories.

A team of people to deal with Houjin immediately is equivalent to facing two enemies, internal and external, at the same time. No one wants to let the political opponents make meritorious service, even if Houjin takes advantage, they are not willing to let the political enemies take advantage.

It sounds like they were unlucky.

Yang Ci knew that General He Jin was in a hurry to get angry every day, and Lu Zhi's side was his only hope, so he didn't really dare to do any substantial damage to Lu Zhi's front army, but let him just watch , he couldn't do it.

It has to be said that Liu Bei's five victories of a small scale as the vanguard were really a booster for the Luoyang court at that time, because neither the Huangfusong Front Army in the east nor the Zhu Jun Front Army in the south had any good news in the initial battle. .

After Zhu Jun led his army to the battlefield, he ran into the Yellow Turban Army led by the powerful "God Envoy" Zhang Mancheng.

At that time, he won a lot of victories in Nanyang County, and he was in the limelight. He also had a small but well-organized army under his banner. Zhu Jun's vanguard fought against it, but did not get any benefits.

But how can this struggle stop?

Although I, the biggest "traitor" of the ancient literature school, doesn't care about the quality of the ancient literature school at all in terms of fundamental interests, but from the current point of view, this battle still needs to be held firmly.

Liu Hong's worries are also true. After all, it is his country and Liu's country. This is still very important for an emperor who has awakened the consciousness of imperial power.

The emperor pays attention to the war, and the eunuchs are also fighting among themselves around the war, so how can our Jinwen School not help the scene?
In Northwest Shanxi, it should be a mess!

The Han army can't move, but Lu Zhi can move, as long as Lu Zhi is not allowed to make contributions, isn't it all right?
Yang Ci did not act personally, but sent Yang's old officials to present to the court and began to build momentum.

Seeing this situation, the people of the Modern Literature School were so angry that their teeth itch, and Yang Ci even dreamed of cursing Lu Zhi to lose weight and wrestle quickly, so that he could let out a sigh of relief.

If Lu Zhi doesn't obey the order, it means that Lu Zhi really has a different heart, so hurry up and replace him!
In this way, there were quite a few people on the table, and the momentum was quite large. Officials who did not belong to the ancient literature school began to move around, keenly aware that this was Yang Ci's plan to start a new round of struggle against the ancient literature school.

At present, the two armies are temporarily in a state of confrontation in Nanyang County.

Surrounding but not attacking, the loss is indeed relatively small, but with an army of 2 people, there are horses, and there are twice as many auxiliary soldiers and grain transporters. Zhi is so good at fighting, why not end the fighting as soon as possible to save money and food for the court?

So Liu Bei sent people back to Luoyang City in private, and asked Liu Hui, who stayed behind, to pay more attention to the situation in Luoyang.

So throughout the middle and early April, the southern and eastern theaters were rainy and rainy, and only the northern theater was sunny and beautiful.

The current political situation in Luoyang is actually a bit similar to that in the late Ming Dynasty, but the Yellow Turban Army is far less threatening than Houjin, so the situation is still under control. plotting.

Dongyuan's investigation on Luoyang Taipingdao has been rather lukewarm recently. It is said that most of the emperor's energy was devoted to the war and he had no time for others.

On April 21st, Taiwei Yang sent a letter to Emperor Liu Hong. The main idea of ​​the letter was that he hoped that the emperor would immediately ask Lu Zhi to attack Julu City immediately, and he had to take it within a time limit.

What he expected was right. In the second half of April, Yang Ci and the others did start to do things in Luoyang.

Needless to say, maybe his resentment was too strong. After the middle of the month, for more than ten days in a row, there was no new news from the northern theater.

Lu Zhi deserves to be an old Jianghu. Although Liu Bei opened up the new situation of party struggle, but in terms of struggle experience, Lu Zhi is obviously a bit older.

On Huangfusong's side, he wanted to prove himself too much through meritorious service.

Whether it is the emperor Liu Hong or the eunuch group, they are not friendly to the ancient literature school, and they will definitely not be friendly to Lu Zhi.

Big problem, big problem!

Yang Ci sent someone to inquire. It turned out that Lu Zhi was besieging Julu County and had not launched an attack. He sent people to shout into the city every day, as if he was waiting for something. There has been no new good news for a long time, and I am quite anxious.

In addition, the military agent Huang Fusong launched by the eunuch Lu Qiangli, one of the regular servants, has a poor record. Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others who have always had a bad relationship with Lu Qiang and had conflicts seem to have found a chance to bring down Lu Qiang. , was busy fighting internally, so Dongyuan's actions were a little slack.

After learning the specific news, Yang Ci, who was as uncomfortable as if there were ants crawling on his body, rolled his eyes and thought about it.

There are too many variables in Luoyang, it's really hard to tell whether it's on his side or the Yellow Turban Army's side.

The content is very simple, that is to say, Lu Zhi played very well before, but he has stopped fighting recently. He has already surrounded Julu County, but he has not attacked. What is this for?
Is there any subtle military arrangement?
Or is this an act of self-respect?
Or did he reach an ulterior agreement with the Taipingdao thieves in the city?

Yang Ci believed that Lu Zhi's behavior of besieging and not attacking was very bad, not only wasting the money and food of the court in vain, but also seeking personal gain for himself, and even reaching some kind of agreement with the Taipingdao thieves.

Based on this, Yang Ci extended the question to the actions of the Taiping Dao bandits in Luoyang and the assassination of Liu Hong. He believed that there might be some kind of very secret connection between these three things. If Lu Zhi continued, he suggested that the court take Lu Zhi down. Zhi, bring him back to Luoyang for questioning!
Really, even a blind person can see what Yang Ci wants to do.

This is a very serious political accusation for a general leading troops abroad, and it may even affect Lu Zhi's political life, and even his own life.

As soon as the news came out, there was an uproar in the court.
