The heavens begin with the bright sword

Chapter 368 Liu Xuande is Here

As Zhang Xiu knew, under Lu Zhi's every step of the way, Zhang Jiao was forced to go to Guangzong step by step, surrounded but not killed. In Lu Zhi's view, the other party was already a trapped beast. Jun merged into one place and won consecutive victories, but he didn't need to be so eager on his side.

You only need to wait until the opponent's food and grass are exhausted, and they will naturally abandon their weapons and surrender.

In the commander's tent, there are only Zhang Xiu and Lu Zhi.

"Most of the Yellow Turban thieves are refugees." Zhang Xiu and Lu Zhi said: "Where do the refugees come from? The people have no food to eat, and they flee their homes and become refugees. Why do the refugees follow the Yellow Turbans to rebel? Of course, it is not ruled out that some of them have ulterior motives." But I believe that most of them are coerced. They probably listened to the slogan of the Yellow Turbans and thought that they would have food if they followed them, so they rebelled together. go."

"Hey——" Lu Zhi also sighed, and said: "I can also see them along the way. The so-called Yellow Turban Army includes women, children, old and weak. I often hear about the Yellow Turban Warriors when they arrive, but I have never seen them."

"Why don't you go and find out what's going on?"

"Zi Sheng, don't be impulsive. The old man knows that you are highly skilled in martial arts, but that horn also has unpredictable powers of gods and demons. If you can't figure out his details, you can't act rashly."

"Lu Shuai, what do you think of the news that Zhang Jiao contracted an illness and was bedridden recently?"

"This old man thought it was a trick to lure the enemy." Lu Zhi said in a deep voice, "Although Zhang Jiao was besieged by our army, the battle reports from all around did not stop him. Perhaps it was the fact that the Yellow Turbans were defeated and suppressed everywhere, which made him have no choice but to That's why we made such a bad move. Before that, we needed a big victory to boost the morale of the army, but now Zhang Jiao needs to defeat our troops to stabilize the situation."

Speaking of which, Lu Zhi laughed again: "He came up with this plan because the old man wanted his head as a military exploit, but the old man was unmoved. The old man just needs to sit firmly on the Diaoyutai. Whether it is a real illness or a fake death, he Naturally, the trick came to nothing.”

Lu Zhi's marching is mostly a word of stability.

Although it is difficult to win quickly, you can win with righteousness and suppress it with panic.

"Zi Sheng."

"Shuai Lu."

"The old man knows that your skills are not only superior in martial arts, but also in civil and political affairs. Do you think the battle of the Yellow Turban will have any impact on the current situation of this dynasty?" Lu Zhi really regarded Zhang Xiu as his disciple these days It is called teaching, and Zhang Xiu did not disappoint. When the two were alone, Lu Zhi often talked with Zhang Xiu about some slightly "taboo" topics.

"It's messed up."

"What's wrong?"

"The balance that the imperial court has always maintained is out of order, the balance between party members and eunuchs, the balance between the imperial court and the local government, and...foreigners."

"Tell me specifically." Zhang Xiu's words obviously aroused Lu Zhi's interest.

"Partisans and officials, Lu Shuai knows best, but the last general will not go out of his way." Zhang Xiu first praised Lu Zhi, and then said: "It is mainly the court and the local government. The last general thinks that the court is dealing with the Yellow Turban Rebellion. , although there are many omissions, but on the whole it is still successful in containing the situation. There is only one thing. Maybe there is no clue right now, but I am afraid that there will be troubles in the future."

Lu Zhi thought for a while, then smiled and said, "Okay, Zhang Zisheng, the old man is obviously asking you, but you have come to take the test, and what you said is the imperial decree that allows all states and counties to recruit brave men?"

"Sure enough, I can't hide it from Lu Shuaihui's eyes." Zhang Xiu expressed his admiration to Lu Zhi, and said: "The Yellow Turban Rebellion was a severe stab at the already overwhelmed court, although it will not shake the court. the foundation of the disease, but the root of the disease has already been burned down.”

"At present, the eight states have swordsmen, which can be said to be facing the dynasty in troubled times." Lu Zhi nodded and said: "You are right, folks often say that heroes come out of troubled times. You don't need too many such characters, just one or two is enough Turn the world upside down. I am afraid that some ambitious people are already planning secretly."

"The so-called time makes heroes, and heroes are also at the right time." Zhang Xiu followed: "Now that the imperial court has ordered the states and counties to recruit their own braves for defense, I am afraid that in the eyes of those who are interested, they will think that the imperial court is beyond their power and the lack of soldiers will be lacking."

Lu Zhi added a sentence when he heard this, and said: "They don't need to think, it is true. In addition, there are still eunuchs in the court, and the current situation is actually not as easy as imagined. You continue to talk."

"Lu Shuai has many scruples, either because of the imperial court, or because of the salary. But the local wealthy family is much more comfortable than you, a court general. It would be fine if the Yellow Turban Rebellion could be wiped out in a short time. Once it goes on for a long time, does Lu Shuai, the local wealthy family, think that they will give away the soldiers and power they have acquired? Over time, it will cause local tyranny and separatism."

"Hiss—" Hearing this, Lu Zhi suddenly felt a cool breeze behind his back, and said, "In this way, the day when the Yellow Turban is pacified, isn't it the time when the heroes will rise? If there are people who covet the divine weapon, I'm afraid. The consequences could be disastrous."

"Report!"

When the two were talking, they heard a pass from the guards: "Shuai Lu, there is a man outside the army who claims to be your student Liu Bei Liu Xuande, and he is leading Wubai Xiangyong to ask to see him."

"Liu Xuande?" Lu Zhi thought for a while, then said with a smile, "But there is such a person, you can lead him in."

After the guards left, Lu Zhi said to Zhang Xiu: "After Liu Xuande claimed to be King Jing of Zhongshan, he had studied under the old man for a few days. You can't really be considered a good student."

As soon as Zhang Xiu heard this, he felt happy in his heart.

I don't know what Liu Bei's expression will be when he learns that Lu Zhi has such an evaluation of him.

After a while, the guards led the three big men into the camp. Zhang Xiu looked closely at the "big-eared thief" Liu Bei, the red-faced and long-bearded Guan Erye, and the "eunuch" Zhang Yide with a leopard head and ring eyes. , You can tell their identities at a glance.

Especially Guan Erye and Zhang Fei, both of them were burly and strong men, and Zhang Xiu was more than a head taller for this one. Zhang Xiu, who was originally a hero, was set off by several people to make him look even more handsome.

"Student Liu Xuande, pay homage to Master Lu." After Liu Bei entered the account, the first thing he did was to declare his family name, and hurriedly greeted Lu Zhi. After introducing his two sworn brothers, he thought about Lu Zhi and explained why he came.

After listening, Lu Zhixin said: So you are also a caring person who wants to ride the wind!

It's a pity that you, a member of the Han family, are not in the genealogy. Besides, in today's world, anyone with the surname Liu is related to the royal family. You are a great-great-grandson after King Jing of Zhongshan. If it wasn't for your father's filial piety and some savings in the family, you wouldn't be able to attend my school.
