Since discovering the appearance of the Bingzhou army, Lu Zhao has remained silent and has not given any orders, because he knows very well that no matter what he does, he will inevitably be destroyed.

So any struggle became futile, and Lu Zhao simply chose to remain silent and let his soldiers and civilians fend for themselves.

Even after the riot of civilians and the army, Lu Zhao was still indifferent, he looked ahead, but his eyes were empty and pale, and he never said a word.

Lu Xun is as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and now the situation in the entire city is like an active volcano, which will erupt at any time, and if some means and measures are not taken, the situation will be out of control.

"Father-" Lu Xun saw that Lu Zhao had been silent, and said hurriedly: "Hurry up and order a suppression, it's too late." ”

Lu Zhao smiled sadly and said: "It's going to rain, my mother wants to get married, let it go." ”

"But......" Lu Xun wanted to do something more, but Lu Zhao waved his hand at him, and said in an extremely desolate voice: "Xun'er, no matter what you do now, it's in vain, it's hard to recover, the defeat is decided, and if you continue to struggle, it's just a matter of dying more." For his father, he has been an official in Jizhou for more than ten years, conscientious, not seeking merit, but seeking no fault, but he has made this situation, and he is ashamed of his father to the millions of people in Jizhou. ”

After that, Lu Zhao jumped into the rolling torrent of Zheng

Lu Xun was shocked, and hurriedly reached out to pull, but only pulled one corner of Lu Zhao's clothes, with a "hiss" sound, Lu Zhao had already plopped into the water, and sank.

No one could have imagined that Lu Zhao would commit suicide by throwing himself into the water so resolutely, and in addition to failure, Lu Zhao did not choose to resist stubbornly, let alone choose to steal his life, but died to serve the country and ended his life by suicide.

Lu Zhao is the official of the imperial court, and he is the minister of the Sima family, no matter from which point of view, it is impossible for him to surrender and join the state army, and the resistance at this time is more of a futility, I don't know how many people are willing to obey his orders in this case, even if they can do the order and prohibit, it is just a few more deaths, and it has nothing to do with the final situation.

In fact, Lu Zhao is not the kind of person who regards life as a mustard, he has been guarding Jizhou for many years, and he still has a deep affection for this land and the people on this land.

Lu Zhao built water conservancy in Jizhou, established education, rectified the rule of officials, and prepared troops for war, which was indeed enough for good officials, and it is no wonder that he was appreciated by Emperor Wei Ming and sat firmly in the first position in Jizhou for many years.

Even during Cao Shuang's reign, Lu Zhao has been as stable as a mountain, which shows that Lu Zhao is politically left and right, free from Cao Shuang and Sima Yi, under the struggle between the two factions, Lu Zhao can be unscathed.

After the Gao Pingling Incident, many ministers were still hesitating, but Lu Zhao clearly stood on Sima Yi's side and became Sima Yi's right-hand man.

But in the later development of the situation, it gradually broke out of the control of Lu Zhao, even if Lu Zhao held the position of Jizhou pastor, but many affairs in Jizhou could not be the master, he could only carry out the orders from the imperial court to the letter, in order to show his loyalty to Sima Shi.

Lu Zhao instinctively resisted the implementation of the strategy of forcibly recruiting troops to clear the wilderness in Jizhou, because he knew very well that this move would seriously destroy Jizhou's economy and people's livelihood and have immeasurable consequences.

But Sima Shi's authority is unquestionable, not to mention that after the arrival of the new Hebei Governor Zhonghui, although Lu Zhao's position has not changed, his power has fallen from the first to the second-in-command, and many things are no longer decided by him.

Although he accepted the order of the imperial court against his will, Lu Zhao still tried his best to carry it out and did his best to do a good job in the defense of Jizhou.

Now Lu Zhao has no intention of thinking about the well-being of the people of Jizhou, he can only obey Sima Shi's wishes, keep Jizhou, and then find an errand to return to the imperial court, after all, he is also old, and it is already his last wish to return to the court to be a quiet and decent official like the three dukes.

It's a pity that it backfired, in the face of the aggressive offensive posture of the Bingzhou army, Lu Zhao was powerless to resist, he could only shrink his forces and stick to Xindu, now most of the northern part of Jizhou has been lost, only Xindu is left, Lu Zhao has no way to retreat, he must hold Xindu, and hold on until Sima Shi's reinforcements arrive, so that his career can be continued.

But Cao Liang didn't seem to give Lu Zhao a chance at all, and when the attack failed, he adopted the method of flooding Xindu and forced Lu Zhao into a desperate situation

Now there is no point in resisting, so Lu Zhaoda has given up in his heart, if he persists to the end, it can only make more people in Jizhou die.

If Xindu City can have a chance to defend it, it will not hesitate to sacrifice more lives Lu Zhao, but such a struggle is just a kind of futility, Lu Zhao decisively gave up, for this war, Jizhou has already died too many people, there is no need to sacrifice innocent lives.

Since it was already a doomed defeat, Lu Zhao gave up seeing the result with his own eyes, he jumped and took all the grievances away, and anything in Jizhou next would have nothing to do with him.

Lu Zhao let go, out of sight and out of mind, if he was allowed to watch the fall of Xindu with his own eyes, it would be even more painful torture for him.

For Lu Zhao, who has already reported his mortal heart, this may be the best ending, he died to repay his loyalty to the Sima clan, and his death to repay the benevolence and righteousness of the soldiers and people of Jizhou.

All the people didn't expect that Lu Zhao would commit suicide by throwing himself into the water, and they were all in a daze, staring straight at the water surface when Lu Zhao fell into the water, like a dream

It's too unexpected, it's too sudden, it suddenly caught everyone off guard, Lu Zhao is the backbone of the Jizhou army, with him, he can also preside over the overall situation, but now he resolutely left, leaving such a mess, completely out of control, and the entire city fell into a chaotic Zheng
