On this day, the wind is beautiful and the sky is clear.

Thirty miles outside Luoyang City, a group of more than 1,000 horses marched forward, and more than 100 prisoner carts were escorted in the middle of the team.

At the front of the team, a burly old man took the lead, his face full of red light, holding a spear, armor, majestic and majestic, and the eagle was looking at him.

The old man was none other than Lu Zhi.

According to the information provided by Liu Zhan, Lu Zhi ordered a thousand horse infantry troops, day and night, and hurried to Shanyang County, Hanoi County.

When he arrived at Shanyang County, Lu Zhi led people straight to the county office.

When he came to the county office, Lu Zhi was shocked, only to see that the county government was overgrown with weeds and a dilapidated scene.

The empty county government was not hot at all, only a few old and weak county officials basking in the sun in the courtyard with blank faces.

Several old and weak county officials were disheveled, their faces were full of dishes, and they were sluggish, and when they saw Lu Zhi arriving with a large group of people, they turned a blind eye and did not react at all.

Lu Zhi shouted: "Where is the county order!" ”

“……”

No one responded!

The old and weak county officials were as if they hadn't seen Lu Zhi and the others.

Lu Zhi glanced at a few insensitive county officials, snorted coldly, strode to the side of a thin county official, stretched out his big hand, lifted the county official, and said coldly: "What about the county order?" ”

"Big ...... Adults, the little ones don't know, the little ones are just temporary personnel......"

Lu Zhi: "......"

After a moment of silence, Lu Zhi threw the thin county officials aside, pointed to the remaining county officials, and narrowed his eyes slightly, "How many of you are also temporary personnel?" Ahh

Several county officials reacted slowly, and they all came to Lu Zhi and knelt down: "Lord Qiqi, the four of us are indeed temporary personnel. ”

Looking at a few sick old county officials, Lu Zhi was worried for a while: When will the government of my Han Dynasty recruit temporary personnel, and what is the source of these wilted goods? I have such a strange thing! ……

Not to mention Lu Zhi, even the soldiers who followed behind them muttered to themselves, claiming that they had never seen such strange things.

Lu Zhi stopped talking nonsense, and waved his hand at the soldiers behind him: "Leave a hundred people, and the rest will disperse in turn according to the established plan, and report as soon as there is news." ”

"Obey your lordship's orders!" All the soldiers shouted in unison, and the momentum was so great that people's ears were ringing, and then they left the county office in batches in an orderly manner. Lu Zhi is an all-round talent in humanities and martial arts, and he is well versed in the way of leading soldiers, and in a few days, he trained the thousands of people who were brought out to be obedient, and no one exploded.

According to Lu Zhi's plan, he set up a secret post in Shanyang County, and sent scouts in batches 50 miles outside the county seat.

Next, Lu Zhi arranged for the remaining No. 100 soldiers to renovate the county government from the inside to the outside, and used it as a temporary command post.

Lu Zhi had just finished rectifying the county office, and a middle-aged man in an official uniform walked into the county office slowly, he raised his eyes and looked, "Oops" turned around and ran out, looked outside the door for a long time, and walked in again after making sure that he had not gone to the wrong door.

The middle-aged man entered the county office to take a look, only to see that the county government became clean and tidy, and a sense of solemnity arose, and then looked inside, the soldiers who came and went were busy, and there was a majestic and armored old man sitting in the middle of the main hall.

The middle-aged man's heart was cold, and the secret way was not good, so he turned around and was about to run out again, only to hear a loud shout: "What person? Hold it! ”

The middle-aged man was so frightened that his legs trembled, he turned around tremblingly, lowered his head and raised his eyes to look inside, only to see the old man beckoning: "Come to the hall." ”

The middle-aged man had no choice but to move his steps to the hall and give a deep salute: "Meet the adults!" ”

Sitting in the hall is Lu Zhi.

Lu Zhi looked the middle-aged man up and down, and snorted coldly: "Look at your official uniform, you are the commander of Shanyang County?" ”

"It's Xiaguan."

"Smack!"

Lu Zhi stood up a few times, walked to the middle-aged man in three or two steps, and circled around the middle-aged man: "Bold and mediocre official!" In his position, he is not in a certain government, what is his intention! Look at what has become of this county government, there is not even a decent errand officer, what kind of system has it become! ”

The middle-aged man knelt on the ground and said with a look of grievance: "My lord, Mingjian! Xiaguan wanted to make a difference, but the imperial court did not allocate half a copper plate to Shanyang County for three consecutive years, and Xiaguan was really powerless. ”

"Huh? How so? Where do the annual taxes go? ”

"My lord, now that the displaced people are rampant, the fertile land is deserted, and the thieves are wandering, where can we still collect taxes......

"What's going on with those so-called temporary personnel?"

The middle-aged man smiled impatiently: "My lord, the serious county officials have long run out." The four of them were selected by the lower officials from among the homeless people, and as long as they were not allowed to starve to death, they were willing to stay here to guard the county government. ”

After listening to the middle-aged man's words, Lu Zhi sighed: "I miss that I am a big man, and it has come to such a point!" Open your eyes, my God, and see the way of the world......"

The middle-aged man knelt on the ground and sighed, and after a while, seeing that Lu Zhi didn't mean to punish him, he boldly asked, "Dare to ask what the adults are called?" What is the important thing to come to my Shanyang County? After saying that, he glanced back at the busy soldiers outside.

Lu Zhi glanced at the middle-aged man, did not answer, pondered for a moment, and asked, "Is there a meeting place for Taiping Taoists in Shanyang County?" Although Lu Zhi lamented that the world was declining and the dynasty was sluggish, he also knew that the middle-aged man in front of him was indeed an incompetent person, and he did not have the slightest good impression of him.

The middle-aged man thought for a long time, and muttered: "It seems that there is, but the lower official doesn't know where the specific location is." ”

Lu Zhi: "......"

Sure enough, he is a complete stupid person, and I don't know how he became the county magistrate.

Lu Zhi waved his hand in annoyance: "Get out!" Roll as far as you want! The old man of this county has been requisitioned for some time, don't come to make trouble if you have nothing to do! "As a servant, Lu Zhi has no right to ask about the dereliction of duty of the county order, so he has to blast this obnoxious guy away out of sight and out of mind.

The middle-aged man fled as if he had been pardoned......

After the middle-aged man ran away, Lu Zhi's heart was like a ball of cotton, and his chest was so blocked that he couldn't breathe, and he walked around the house angrily......

Suddenly, a soldier ran into the county office quickly and knelt at the door: "Lord Qiqi, there is news!" ”

Lu Zhi's heart was relieved, and he recruited the soldiers to the front: "Explain in detail." ”

"My lord, fifty miles away from the north gate, I found Ma Yuanyi, a group of ten people."

"Let's go, follow me to arrest someone!" Lu Zhi picked up the spear on the side, rushed outside the house, and rode away......

……

Fifty miles outside the north gate of Shanyang County, a group of ten men dressed as ordinary people rode high-headed horses and galloped in the direction of the county seat.

The man at the head was Ma Yuanyi, with a white face and beard, thick eyebrows and small eyes, and his facial features were not very coordinated, and he shouted excitedly at the rest of the men: "Brothers, we will go to Shanyang soon, there is not a single bird soldier here, and this will be the territory of the brothers in the future." Drive! ”

While beating their horses and moving forward, all the men shouted in unison: "Qu Shuai is mighty!" Qu Shuai is mighty! Qu Shuai is mighty! ”

Looking at their posture, even if the scout sent by Lu Zhi is a blind man, he can also find their group of Taiping Taoists who are yelling at each other.

Ma Yuanyi was relieved by the men's voices: "Haha! Brothers, follow Lao Tzu in the future, make sure you eat fragrant, drink spicy, and sleep enough! Haha......"

"Qu Shuai is mighty! Qu Shuai is mighty! Qu Shuai is mighty! ……”

Shout again! What a bunch of heartless people!

The men shouting and slapping Ma Wuyi's ass like this will send Ma Yuanyi to the guillotine faster......

Ma Yuanyi, who was living a sycophant addiction, suddenly frowned: "Phew-stop, stop shouting!" Look! After speaking, he pointed around.

The men followed and grabbed the reins, looked around, and found that there were many officers and soldiers coming up around!

The sudden change made Ma Yuanyi and the others panic, and a man asked in a trembling voice: "Qu Shuai, what should I do?" ”

Ma Yuanyi glared at him, and shouted inwardly: "Damn, this group of officers and soldiers is not good, they will follow Lao Tzu for a while, let's tear a hole and escape!" ”

"Qu Shuai is wise! Qu Shuai is wise! Qu Shuai is wise! ……”

Yes, these men saw that Ma Yuanyi looked confident, and they continued to shoot again. What the men didn't know was that their Qu Shuai was already scared, like an elephant crushed to death, just the last straw.

After a while, Lu Zhi led a large group of soldiers to surround Ma Yuanyi and others, and Lu Zhi shouted: "Take them all!" ”

"Boom......"

The soldiers drew their long swords one after another and rushed towards Ma Yuanyi and the others......

Without encountering the slightest resistance, the soldiers tied up Ma Yuanyi and the others and threw them on horseback, and went straight to Shanyang County.

……

Escorting Ma Yuanyi and others to the county office, Lu Zhi interrogated all ten men and learned that this group of people still had six strongholds in Shanyang County.

Lu Zhi couldn't help but say, and led people to sweep away the leaves in the autumn wind and wiped out the six strongholds one by one, killed a total of six or seven hundred stubborn disciples, and captured one hundred and ten people, these people were all small leaders under Ma Yuanyi, most of them were bandits who did all kinds of evil, and each of them had a few lives in their hands.

That night, Lu Zhi asked the soldiers to rush to the prisoner cart overnight in order to escort all these stubborn anti-Han thieves back to Luoyang safely.

……

Entering Luoyang City, the more than 100 prisoner cars escorted by Lu Zhi attracted people's onlookers, and people turned their noses at the people in the prisoner car......

After escorting Ma Yuanyi and more than 100 Taiping Road thieves to the prison, Lu Zhi was a little relieved and rushed to the palace without stopping. Of course, Lu Zhi was not in a hurry to ask for a reward, but to recommend Liu Zhan to the Spirit Emperor Liu Hong, if he did not strongly recommend Liu Zhan, it would be a great loss to the imperial court.

The arrest of Ma Yuanyi this time, for Lu Zhi, Liu Zhan's news was extremely accurate, and it really shocked him. Moreover, this is not the first time, the last time Tang Zhou was arrested, it all depended on Liu Zhan's news.

This is no simple coincidence!

One coincidence can be understood, but what about two coincidences of the same......

Lu Zhi didn't dare to think about it, if he didn't recommend Liu Zhan to the imperial court as soon as possible, then he would be uneasy.

Lu Zhi was loyal to the Han Dynasty, often thought about repaying the country's kindness, and admonished the court many times, but no one listened to him, this time he still had to admonish, regardless of whether the court adopted it or not.

Lu Zhi's back was a little lonely, which was probably all he could do for Dahan......
