"Lu Zigan, where are you going?"

Zhang Jia and Hu Buwei were marching quickly with Lu Zhi and his entourage, when they suddenly heard a loud shout exploding above their heads, and a cold light flashed in front of everyone's eyes.

The guard who walked in the front screamed, his head turned in a circle, his eyes looked at everyone in horror, and a red blood line circled around his neck, like a necklace.

A general flashed out of the back of his head.

The face is like powder, white clothes and silver armor, majestic, the tiger head Zhan golden gun in his hand is held obliquely in his hand, and several drops of blood drip from the tip of the gun and fall to the ground.

"Jin Ma Chao?"

"Exactly!"

Lu Zhi shook his arms, broke free from Zhang Jia and Hu Buwei's support, straightened up his slightly thin body, and walked straight to Ma Chao: "Are you here to take my head?" ”

Ma Chao looked at Lu Zhi unruly: "By the general's order, come and stay with Lu Shuai!" ”

"Ma Chao, just you? Just want to keep us, are you too arrogant! Zhang Jia and Hu Buwei Huo Ran stepped forward, protected Lu Zhi tightly behind him, and the big knife in his hand angrily aimed at Ma Chao.

Ma Chao looked at Zhang Jia and the others in front of him, and smiled proudly: "Lu Shuai, although Ma was born in a wild place, he is not a person who messes around, if Lu Shuai does not embarrass Ma, Ma will definitely not kill!"

However, you two idiots are not among them, if the two of you have a word, Ma will immediately send you two to see Dong Zhuo! ”

"You!"

Hu Buwei and Zhang Jia shouted angrily, but saw Wang Li and Huangfu Song striding up from the inner city accompanied by Bai Ma Yicong.

"Brother Zi, don't come to harm? You and my brother have been robed for many years, and now they are finally in this Chang'an City for a while, but you want to leave again, don't you want to see the old man! Even though Huangfu Song is over fifty years old, he is still proud, and he walks on the city tower with his long beard.

Lu Zhi glanced at Huangfu Song indignantly, and flicked his sleeves: "Hmph, just your old face that is wrinkled like the terraced fields of the Guanzhong Plain, what is worth Lu to see?" ”

"It's still the same stinky temper back then!" Huangfu Song raised his head and smiled, regardless of the fact that the two sides were still fighting each other, he walked straight over and hugged Lu Zhi, "However, the old man didn't give you face for this old guy today, do you want to see me, I'm here!" ”

"Since you know you don't want to see you, what are you going to do?"

"Naturally, I'm here to ask you about your future plans!"

Lu Zhi shook his head, looked at Huangfu Song and smiled indifferently: "What else can I plan?" In that year, he conquered the Yellow Turban and was arrested and imprisoned for Zuo Feng's slander; Later, he opposed Dong Zhuo's abolition of the emperor and Chen Liu, and was trapped by Dong thieves in Luoyang and Chang'an.

Now in this Chang'an City, but because of the matter of King Chen Liujun and your son-in-law, it seems that Lu is going to take turns to sit in all the prisons of the Han Dynasty! ”

"Lu Shuai is too worried, Wang has no intention of taking Lu Shuai to prison!"

"Oh, that's going to cut off your head? I just don't know if General Wang's knife is as fast as your words and ambitions? ”

"The two armies are fighting for their own masters, and if they all have to be slashed and killed, I am afraid there are not many people in this world. What's more, Lu Shuai's thoughts coincide with Wang's, how could Wang do such a self-cutting thing? Wang Li smiled faintly and bowed to Lu Zhi.

Lu Zhi raised the corners of his eyebrows: "Can you guess the old man's thoughts?" ”

Wang Li nodded: "It's nothing more than the king of Chenliujun and the Han River!" ”

"How dare you elaborate!"

"Wang has never practiced that trickery, he is an upright person, and he does things uprightly, why don't you dare?" Wang Li laughed loudly, "First, Lu Shuai doesn't want to see King Chen Liujun fall into the hands of Wang, after all, he is the bloodline of the first emperor, so even if you opposed King Chen Liujun as emperor at the beginning, now you have to stand on his side."

Second, the king of Chen Liujun is smart and ambitious, and the young emperor is indeed as the first emperor said

Weak by nature, frivolous and undignified, so you also want to return to the mountains to see if King Chen Liujun can really carry the banner of Emperor Gaozu back then.

Third, you don't want Wang to be full-fledged, so as not to become another Dong Zhuo in the future, so you mentioned Wang along with Zuo Feng and Dong Zhuo, deliberately angering me, and wanting me to bear the infamy of killing Zhongliang. Lu Shuai, is what Wang said right? ”

"This son is clever and thoughtful, Brother Yizhen, you better marry my Ling'er niece as soon as possible!" Lu Zhi was silent for a long time, patted Huangfu Song's shoulders and sighed, "Deyu, since you have completely guessed the old man's thoughts, what are you going to do with me?" ”

"Lu Shuai, Wang heard that you are a disciple of the great Confucian Ma Rongji Changgong, and I heard that when the first emperor placed the "Xiping Stone Scripture", you once recommended yourself, but is there such a thing?"

"What do you want the old man to do again?"

"Wouldn't it be overkill if it was for that alone?" Wang Li shook his head, looked at Lu Zhi with a straight face, and said, "Wang heard that with copper as a mirror, you can be dressed properly; With history as a mirror, we can know the rise and fall; With people as a mirror, you can see the gains and losses.

Lu Shuai is a great Confucian in the sea, arrogant and not afraid of power, now the new monarch has just ascended the throne, the weather in the middle of the court is new, the new monarch is young and ignorant, and his thoughts are easy to be influenced by the queen mother, Wang hopes that Lu Shuai can serve as the emperor and the imperial historian, and sit in Luoyang to supervise the hundred officials, okay? ”

Lu Zhi exhaled and looked at Zhang Jia, Hu Buwei and others beside him.

Wang Li also knew what he meant, nodded and said: "Lu Shuai, but please rest assured, Wang just said that the two armies are fighting for their own masters, and the two generals can still fulfill their duties after the county king leaves, such a talent Wang can't ask for, how can he be angry with others?" ”

"Okay, Lu should go!" Lu Zhi saw that Wang Li's eyes were blazing, and he was silent for a long time, and suddenly his expression darkened and turned around and walked towards the city.

Wang Li, Huangfu Song, Ma Chao and others followed Lu Zhi and re-ascended to the top of the Zhicheng Gate.

There was already a river of blood on the straight city gate, and the corpses were all over the field, and there were more than 10,000 corpses dead in the city.

The corpses glared angrily, or lying on the city wall, or falling under the ladder, or tightly clinging to the blades and daku, with a relieved smile on their faces, or entangled with the opposing soldiers, and biting each other's ears in their mouths.

The nearly 20,000 soldiers who were still alive were like sheep in captivity by Zhao Yun, Xu Huang, Gao Ran and others, with the swords and guns in their hands pointing at the soldiers on the periphery with their backs against their backs, their faces were bruised, and the anger in their eyes was full of hatred.

"Brothers, put down your weapons!" Lu Zhi separated the people on the periphery, bowed deeply to the soldiers in the encirclement, raised his head and looked with tears on his face, "I, Lu, have already stepped into the coffin board with half a foot, and it is not a pity to die, but I can't let your brothers cause death because of Lu again!" ”

The remnants of the soldiers were shocked when they heard this, and they all raised their heads, some were excited, some were depressed, some were sad, and some were even more confused in their eyes, looking at Lu Zhi in front of them and feeling unusually strange.

It was this person just now, who kept saying that he had already dedicated an old bone to his family and country. It was also this person just now, who said that he didn't want to die and wanted to fight with this thief. It was this person just now, and he personally rushed to the head of the city to fight side by side with them!

But in an instant, this person left them behind and stood by Wang Li's side, and told them to lay down their weapons.

They and Wang Li were still life and death just now, but now they have become Wang Li's brothers, how can they be embarrassed? How do they avenge their brothers in the army? What the hell is this?

"!"

A junior colonel glared at Lu Zhi fiercely, put down and raised the long knife in his hand, raised and put it down, and finally smashed the long knife in front of Lu Zhi with a "bang", and spit a mouthful of bloody phlegm at Lu Zhi's feet with hatred.

"It was you who made Lao Tzu resist, and it was you who made Lao Tzu surrender, Lao Tzu respected you as the commander of the three armies, and also respected you as a famous man in the world, so he was willing to fight side by side with you and die without regrets. As a result, you sold Lao Tzu after a special sale, a famous man? What's that? ”

With that, the school parted from the crowd and walked

came out, walked straight to Wang Li, stared at Wang Li with a pair of bull's eyes wide, and didn't blink: "General Wang, I also know your name, and I also know that you have repeatedly leveled the national chaos in Wei County, and you are generous to people and make good use of them."

It is said that it is not bad to follow you, let alone humiliate me, but my brother died at the hands of the colonel just now, and I am ashamed that I can't avenge them. Please forgive Zhou's rudeness, Zhou will retire! ”

After that, Xiao Xiao turned around and wanted to leave, but when he saw Ma Chao, Zhou Cang and others blocking the way, Xiao Xiao raised his head and looked at everyone unruly: "Ma Chao, Lao Tzu knows that you are superb in martial arts, and he thinks that he is not your opponent, but if Lao Tzu decides something, no one can control it." If you want to kill or cut, you can do it, Lao Tzu frowned and you gave birth! ”

Wang Li waved his hand at Ma Chao, Zhou Cang and the others, and the two got out of the way, Wang Li looked at the little school and said, "Good man, does Wang know your name?" ”

"The battle can't be won, the defeat won't die, there is no reason to mention that name!" Xiao Xiao shook his head and glanced at Wang Li angrily, "My surname is Zhou, and I am from Feng County, Pei County, Dahan Dynasty, so don't mention the name, so as not to tarnish the face of my parents!" ”

Sure enough, it is worthy of the hometown of Gaozu, Zhouhou Sangzi!

Wang Li nodded: "Brother Zhou, Wang knows that you have made up your mind, but there are some things that need to be dealt with by Wang, can you please Brother Zhou wait for a while before you stay?" ”

Xiao Xiao stood aside, quietly watching the crowd. As a result, more and more soldiers soon came out and stood beside him. Lu Zhi's feet were like a mountain, saliva was like a stream, his waist was lowered, and the sadness on his face became more and more intense.

"Lu Shuai, it was Wang who didn't think about it and made you feel wronged. Brothers, you have wronged Lu Shuai! ”

Seeing that hundreds of the remaining soldiers had come out, Wang Li walked straight into the crowd, helped Lu Zhi up, bowed deeply to him, and then turned to the crowd to talk, his words were sincere and affectionate.

"Lu Shuai is a great Confucian, but he is persevering in his life. At the beginning, the two governors of Jiujiang County, the barbarians and the local people felt their kindness and returned to the imperial court. Then he served as the general of Beizhong Lang, trapped in Julu City, Huangmen Zuofeng repeatedly asked for bribes, and Lu Shuai refused to go to prison for the imperial court.

After Dong Thief entered the customs, he should oppose the establishment of Chen Liu, who was trapped in the shackles again. When Wang raised troops under the city, the puppet emperor and Lu Bu abandoned the city and fled, and it was Lu Shuai who stepped forward and led you to wait for my Wang Li's troops. Do you think such a person will be afraid of death and betray you? Do you think such a person is not honorable? ”

After speaking, the audience was suddenly silent. Lu Zhi's face showed a look of surprise, Zhao Yun and the others were all moved, but the guards who were present were silent.

In the middle of the night, a weak voice came out from among the soldiers who had already walked to the periphery: "Since it is as you said, why did he go back and forth, so that my brother died unjustly?" ”

That's a good question! That's why I bowed to Lu Shuai just now. Wang Li walked into the middle of the field and looked at everyone straight, "Wang can clearly tell you that Lu Shuai's move is nothing but righteous ears!"

Leading you and others to resist our army is to buy time for King Chen Liujun to leave, this is the righteousness of the court, after all, that is the brother of His Majesty today, he can't watch King Chen Liujun be injured and do nothing!

When I captured the city of Chang'an, but led Zhang Jia and Hu Buwei to serve the court for the generals, I am not afraid of your misunderstanding, I am not afraid of the name of cowardice on my back, it is also for the sake of love and righteousness, love in the army! He doesn't want you to die in a civil war! Think for yourselves whether such an old man should be worthy of your obedience, or should you be spurned! ”

Everyone was still shocked, but Lu Zhi was already in tears, bowed to everyone, turned around and walked towards the city.

At this time, it was almost three o'clock, a thin morning mist rose in the sky, looking at Lu Zhi's back gradually disappearing in the morning mist, a poem suddenly appeared in Wang Li's mind:

Ten thousand horsemen in golden armor walk pseudo-males, and a hundred battles in iron clothes look at Yuan Rong.

The sound of the horn is tragic in the winter wind, and the back is sparse in the morning fog.
