Lu Bu, God of War of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 85

Chapter 85

"Your Majesty, although it is difficult to judge Lu Zhi's crime for a while, Jizhou is an important city for my great man, and my [-] army cannot afford to make mistakes. I only see it as a slave, so it is better to take Lu Zhi back first and make a decision. " Zhang Rang looked at the civil and military men of the Manchu Dynasty who had already knelt down, knowing that this matter would not end well, so he found a step.

"Your Majesty, you can't. Changing generals just before the battle will definitely cause the army's morale to fluctuate, which is not good for the battle." When Zhang Rang wanted to escort Lu Zhi back to Luoyang, Yuan Kui immediately stopped him.

"Asshole, go back and take care of your family first."

Hearing Zhang Rang's opinion, Emperor Ling's eyes suddenly brightened. Since he couldn't figure out whether Lu Zhi had disobedience, the best way was to escort him back.For this kind of thing, Emperor Ling always believed that it was better to believe it than to believe it. As the supreme ruler of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Ling would not bet on Lu Zhi's loyalty.

Seeing Yuan Kui talking, Emperor Ling became angry again. This Yuan Shu of the Yuan family was captured by the Yellow Turban Army and was still pointing fingers here. The more Emperor Ling looked at Yuan Kui, the more angry he became.

"It's decided like this, send someone to escort Lu Zhi back. Since Lu Zhi can no longer be the chief general, who will Guangzong send?" Lu Zhi's fate was decided by the Emperor Ling.After arranging Lu Zhi, Emperor Ling turned to Zhang Rang and asked who would replace Lu Zhi.

"I heard that Dong Zhuo of Xiliang has made great achievements many times. He is a rare general. I recommend this man as a general. He will surely kill the Yellow Turban and make great achievements." Zhang Rang Jianling asked himself a question, thinking As soon as he moved, he remembered Dong Zhuo who had given him a great gift.In Zhang Rangkai, this Dong Zhuo is quite capable, and he has made some achievements in fighting the Qiang people in Liangzhou. In addition, this Dong Zhuo is a person who knows how to advance and retreat. appetite.So Zhang Rang has a good impression of Dong Zhuo, and at this time, he reciprocates and gives Dong Zhuo a chance.

"That's right, Dong Zhuo is a man I know. He has guarded Xiliang for many years and has made a lot of achievements. This time, I will send him to replace Lu Zhi to take charge of Jizhou's military affairs and eliminate the Yellow Turban for me." Emperor Ling pondered for a while before making a decision.

The starting point for Lingdi to make this decision is very simple, it is to balance the power of all parties in the court.Everyone in the world thinks that Shi Chang is a servant of power and disrupts the government.But I don't know that this is the special arrangement of Emperor Ling. Although it is the way of the emperor, the emphasis is on balance. Only when the ministers fight endlessly can the emperor profit from it and consolidate his position. When one of the courts is too powerful, it will It endangers the emperor's rights, so there must be struggle and balance in the court, this is the kingly way of Emperor Ling.

Now that Emperor Ling no longer pursued the matter, Huangfusong and Zhu Jun failed, so the eunuchs should be given some benefits accordingly. Now Zhang Rang proposed to replace Lu Zhi with Dong Zhuo.Born in the royal family, Lingdi deeply understands that he does not believe in anyone, but he only believes in his own means. Power creates ambition, so Lingdi wants to control all ministers and the rights of all factions, so he also controls them. ambition.Although the yellow scarves are scary, they are just mobs. Although they are troublesome, they cannot destroy the rule of the old Liu family. However, these seemingly loyal ministers in front of them are different. Who knows if they will want to take their place? Woolen cloth?There were many such things in the Han Dynasty.

Thinking of this, Emperor Ling looked coldly at the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty below.Reaching out and rubbing his temples, Emperor Ling felt that his body was getting worse day by day, and he was really worried recently.

"Let's stop here for today's matter, all Ai Qings, let's go." Speaking of Lingdi's arms, a maid stepped forward to help Lingdi in.At this time, Zhang Rang also jumped up, glanced triumphantly at Man Chao Wenwu, and chased after Lingdi in the direction where Emperor Ling left.

It wasn't until Emperor Ling left that the civil and military courts all stood up one after another.

A few days later, news from the imperial court reached Guangzong.

In the big camp outside Guangzong City, Lu Zhi had already removed his armor, put his seal on the table, and was waiting for the new coach Dong Zhuo.

"General, as the saying goes, the general is away, and the king's order is not accepted. Now the soldiers and horses of Bingzhou and Beiping are already on the way. General, as long as we fight for a few more days, our army will be able to win a big victory. Sheng Zhiwei, class teacher Luoyang, let's see who else will speak ill of the general?" A violent general suddenly jumped out and shouted loudly.

"No, we are officers and soldiers, and we are deeply favored by the emperor. As the saying goes: the emperor ordered his ministers to die, and the ministers had to die. The general is just going back to the court to clarify the facts. If you have a stutter, if you accuse the general of treason at that time, I am afraid that the general's reputation will be ruined." A civil official immediately stepped forward to object.

"Hmph, Confucianism, now that the general is in power, the treacherous officials in the court naturally dare not do anything to the general, but if the general surrenders his military power now, he will not be slaughtered by others when he returns to the court. What reason can you say?" A general stood up and said sharply.

In front of Lu Zhi, the civil and military officials were already arguing for a while, and Lu Zhi really didn't have time to pay attention to it, but just stroked his seal with both hands, feeling very melancholy.for several months.In order to be able to defeat the Yellow Turban Army in Jizhou, it can be said that the recording was exhausted. However, today, it seems to be successful, but at this time, it is suspected by the court. The fate of life is really rough.

Recalling that not long ago, when he was just released because the imperial court lifted the ban, he was full of ambition, but Lu Zhi could only smile wryly.

"General Qi, the angel has arrived outside the gate. May I ask the general, do you want to meet him?" Lu Zhi was still thinking, but a guard rushed in and reported.

"Order the three armies to assemble with drums, and let the angels come in to command the tent to announce the decree." Lu Zhi glanced at the guard and said quietly.

Not long after, an eunuch walked in with a smile, and when he saw Lu Zhi, he showed a concerned expression.

This eunuch, Lu Zhi knew, was Zuo Feng from Xiaohuangmen.

"Hehehe, Mr. Zhonglang is so majestic. When I came, I saw that Mr. Zhonglang's army was majestic and his morale was high. I knew that Mr. Zhonglang was a military strategist in the world. It was only a few days before the yellow scarf was broken. It's time." When Zuo Feng saw Lu Zhi, his face was full of smiles, his mouth was slightly opened, and his face was slightly red, as if two flowers had bloomed.

"Hehe, the military power is so small, the angel will be laughed at by then, but the angel is tired from a long distance, please take your seat." Lu Zhi hurriedly let Zuo Feng to the hall.

"In the next term, I really don't dare to take the top seat in the army, so I'd rather sit at the bottom. This time the miscellaneous family is ordered to come here, so the general must already know what it is. I have seen the general's military appearance, and I know the general's ability to use troops. It’s just that the miscellaneous families came here on orders, and they dare not be negligent, of course, the road from Luoyang to Guangzong is rough, and now there are bandits and robbers, and it is inevitable for a few days at night, sometimes people are not as good as God.”

This Zuo Feng originally wanted to take the first place when he saw Lu Zhi giving way, but when he walked around, he saw the generals in the military tent, all of them had unkind eyes.Startled, he sat down on the side and began to say some ambiguous words.

What Zuo Feng said seemed to be nonsense, but as soon as Zuo Feng said it, Lu Zhi next to him and Cao Cao in the hall had already heard the meaning.What Zuo Feng meant was that although Zuo Feng had arrived at the barracks, when he announced the decree was only a matter of what Zuo Feng said.As long as Lu Zhi is interested, he Zuo Feng can call the shots and announce the decree a few days later. At that time, Lu Zhi will naturally have time to defeat the Yellow Turban, and then those rumors that slander Lu Zhi will naturally be self-defeating, and Lu Zhi can also keep the senior officials. The key to thick salary depends on whether Lu Zhi will be a man.

Hearing Zuo Feng's words, Cao Cao's heart skipped a beat, and he thought to himself, "Could it be that the current imperial court has become so corrupt that a small yellow gate dares to suppress the imperial edict at will?"

"Hahaha, hahaha. The angel laughed. Now that I am in the Han Dynasty, the government is weak and the government is corrupt. It is precisely because there are too many officials like you who exercise power in the court. I, Lu Zhi, am proud. How can I fight with you dirty people? Dirty people, are you in the same boat? If it wasn’t because you are an angel and came here at the emperor’s order, I would behead your head and imitate you.” Lu Zhi didn’t like these eunuchs at first, but this eunuch must have the imperial decree in his hand. , came here at the emperor's order, so Lu Zhi had to be in awe, but he didn't expect that this little Huangmen would be so rampant, asking for bribes openly, showing intentionally or unintentionally that he could suppress the imperial decree, what is tolerable? It's unbearable, these eunuchs even dare to move their minds about the imperial decree of the emperor, how can Lu Zhi not get angry.

After Lu Zhi said a word, there was a sound of "Canglang" in the big tent, and all the generals pulled out their swords from their waists, held them in their hands, and waited for Lu Zhi's order, then they rushed forward and drew That Zuo Feng's body was broken into thousands of pieces.

"You, you, you, what are you going to do? Do you want to rebel? I, I am an angel sent by the Holy Spirit." When Zuo Feng saw all the generals, he drew his swords from his waist.Panicked, the teacup in his hand fell to the ground with a clang, and broke into several pieces.And Zuo Feng himself was trembling and wanted to stand up, but his legs were weak, and he fell to the ground suddenly, his legs were trembling, and he completely lost the arrogant and calm image just now.

"Hmph, how could we rebel? We are all loyal ministers of the imperial court, but now, as Master Zuo Feng said, bandits and bandits are rampant, and the road from Luoyang to Guangzong is very unsafe. If Master Zuo Feng makes any mistakes , but it's not us soldiers who can manage it." Cao Cao stood in the hall, looked at Zuo Feng, and suddenly said.

Cao Cao's words were astonishing, one word awakened the dreamer, and many generals nodded their heads when they heard Cao Cao's words.

"Indeed, now that the army is in turmoil, we killed Zuo Feng and said we didn't see him, what can the imperial court do to us?" All the generals agreed one by one.
