Cao Cao's selection was inseparable from the recommendation of the eunuchs.

After getting the recommendation of the eunuchs, Cao Cao was recognized by Emperor Ling, and was appointed as a cavalry captain, leading the Yulin cavalry to help Changshe relieve the siege, and followed Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun to fight together.

This was in late April, and in early May, before Cao Cao's reinforcements arrived, Huangfu Song, who was besieged in Changshe, had already made a plan.

He found that although the Yellow Turban Army fought bravely, it did not have professional military qualities, because the Yellow Turban Army camped according to the grass, and the camp was surrounded by flammable materials, which did not meet the standard of the art of war.

Huang Fu Song felt the truth that knowledge is power.

So one evening, a strong wind suddenly blew in this area, and when Huangfu Song saw that the time had come, he immediately ordered the soldiers to secretly go out of the city with torches, and use the weeds around the Yellow Turban Army camp to attack the Yellow Turban Army with fire.

Outside the city shouted to attack, the city also raised torches in response, Huangfu Song with drums to help the battle, rushed into the enemy formation, the Yellow Turban Army was in chaos, running around.

It was also a coincidence that Cao Cao arrived with his army at this time and immediately joined the battle, and Bocai's troops were attacked by Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun and Cao Cao on three sides, and they were defeated.

In this battle, the Han army killed tens of thousands of Yellow Turban Army, and the Han army won a complete victory, reversing the situation of the Yingchuan War, and Bocai was defeated and retreated to Yangzhai.

After that, the Han army seized the strategic initiative, and because of this great victory, the Han army's courage to fight was increased, and the Han army's fear of the Yellow Turban Army was reduced, which was quite important.

After that, the Han armies of the north and south won a great victory together, and the national war situation was that the Han army took the initiative and the Yellow Turban Army turned passive.

In mid-to-late May, Xiaohuangmen Zuofeng came to Lu Zhi's camp under the city of Guangzong County with a lot of supplies to reward the army, and Lu Zhi reluctantly gave him some face, personally came out to greet the angels, accept the emperor's condolences, and answer the emperor's questions.

At that time, Guo Peng accompanied Lu Zhi and greeted Zuo Feng.

"Your Majesty's expectations, the old minister naturally understands that at present, the strongholds of the Yellow Turban thieves around Guangzong County have been pulled out by the old ministers, and the old ministers have led the army to surround Guangzong, and the Yellow Turban thieves have no way to retreat.

This is how Lu Zhi describes his exploits.

"Then in that case, why didn't Lu Zhonglang directly attack the city and take Guangzong as soon as possible? Your Majesty is looking forward to the news of Lu Zhonglang's victory! ”

Zuo's plump face is deserved.

To be honest, Lu Zhi really didn't want to talk about military issues with these eunuchs.

But he asked on behalf of the emperor, and Lu Zhi had to say.

"It's not that the old minister doesn't attack, but the old minister sent troops in a hurry and didn't bring enough siege equipment, and now the old minister ordered the surrounding counties to make every effort to make siege equipment, as long as the siege equipment is enough, the old minister immediately ordered the siege and did his best to quell the rebellion for His Majesty!"

"Oh, that's it......"

Zuo Feng looked at the camp, his eyes rolling around.

"In this case, I will understand, tomorrow I will set off to go back, Lu Zhonglang is loyal to the monarch and the country, after I go back, I will definitely explain it to Your Majesty."

Zuo Feng's face showed that 'you know' smile, and he slowly left.

After sending Zuo Feng away to rest, Lu Zhi continued to lead the generals to study the plan for attacking the city and assign tasks.

After the task was assigned, Lu Zhi asked the generals to go down to rest and continue to study more suitable tactics by himself.

After the generals left, only Guo Peng was by Lu Zhi's side, and after a while, the deputy general came back.

"Lu Zhonglang, there is something that my subordinates don't know whether to talk about or not."

Lu Zhi looked up at the sect member.

"You say."

The sect member looked at Guo Peng and organized the wording.

"It's about Zuo Feng."

"Zuo Feng?"

Lu Zhi frowned.

"Yes, Lu Zhonglang, Zuo Feng came all the way to reward the army, according to the rules, should we, should we...... It's ......"

The sect member didn't say it thoroughly, and hinted frantically to Lu Zhi, Lu Zhi was at ease, was silent for a while, and sighed as he looked at the sect member.

"General Zong, I thought you were a loyal person for the country."

The sect member's face fell.

"Lu Zhonglang, his subordinates are naturally loyal to the country, but Zuo Feng is the person next to the Son of Heaven, he can speak in front of the Son of Heaven, with him a few good words for Lu Zhonglang, Lu Zhonglang will be able to rise step by step, no matter how bad it is, he can also get the Son of Heaven to transport more ordnance and materials, since ancient times, the generals have been fighting abroad, and the most afraid is that the villain will slander."

The sect members kindly persuaded him, and Lu Zhi naturally understood.

But it's one thing to understand, it's another thing to do, as a scholar, Lu Zhi looks down on those yin and yang people who don't have eggs.

"I understand what you said, General Zong, thank you for your kindness, if it's okay, you can go back."

"Lu Zhonglang ......"

"Let's go back."

Lu Zhi interrupted the sect member's words, leaving the sect member speechless, and the sect member looked at Guo Peng again, and saw that Guo Peng shook his head slightly at him, sighed, and retreated with his fists.

"Yes."

Seeing that the sect member had left the tent, Guo Peng said to Lu Zhi: "Teacher, the student is going to send General Zong, right?" ”

"It's fine."

Lu Zhi looked at Guo Peng, hesitated for a moment, and nodded.

Guo Peng chased him out.

After winning the battle and proving his courage with the first credit, Guo Peng won the favor of the generals in the army because of his fame and achievements.

"Zifeng, you better persuade Lu Zhonglang, I have been a border general for many years, and I have seen too many things, I am waiting to fight outside, where can I compare to the eunuch following the Son of Heaven every day? A eunuch can often decide many things with a single sentence. ”

"......"

Guo Peng shook his head: "General Zong, it's not that you don't know the teacher's temper, the teacher is an upright person, how can he do that kind of thing?" If he had done such a thing, he would not have been my teacher. ”

“……”

The sect member shook his head and sighed, was silent for a while, and then said: "If you don't feed that eunuch, and wait for him to go back and say some nonsense next to the Son of Heaven, it is not up to you and me to decide, at that time, Lu Zhonglang will be in a worrying situation, and our situation will also be worrying!" ”

What the sect member said was right, Lu Zhi was the commander of the First Army, and now everyone was familiar with Lu Zhi's command, and he planned to follow Lu Zhi to victory.

If Lu Zhi was jealous of the Son of Heaven because of this thing and then took it down, and replaced it with an unfamiliar general to lead the troops, it would not be a good thing for everyone.

This is a truth that everyone understands.

The coach is of great significance to the First Army, and at such a critical moment, no one wants the manager to change.

Guo Peng was naturally unwilling, especially since the guy who was about to be exchanged was Dong Zhuo.

If you can win the battle, Dong Zhuo still lost the battle, and he doesn't know how many lives he will lose, and Guo Peng has no confidence under Dong Zhuo.

In public and private, Lu Zhi can't be allowed to be arrested back to Beijing.

Guo Peng has already prepared for this, and this time he is just putting it into practice.

"I'll figure out a way for this matter, General Zong, don't disturb, I won't let the teacher be framed by such villains."

The sect member didn't know what Guo Peng was going to do, but looking at Guo Peng's confident face, he thought about it and said, "Zifeng, don't mess around." ”

"Don't worry, I won't mess around."

Guo Peng has already thought of a way.
