Even if there is really money to raise soldiers, the eunuchs scrape a layer, and the relatives cut a layer, and in the end, those military salaries will be transferred to the hands of those who spend money to buy officials, just to return a wave of blood for officials everywhere, and the remaining money is estimated to not even be enough to buy grain and grass for the officers and men in the army.

Cheng Yuanzhi looked at Lu Zhi like this, if he scolded Zuo Feng all the way, he was afraid that he would not be able to return to Luoyang.

Zuo Feng didn't dare to kill Lu Zhi, if Lu Zhi died and returned to Luoyang, all the spearheads would be pointed at Zuo Feng, Zuo Feng would use Lu Zhi as a shield to get through this difficulty for himself, as for Lu Zhi's guilt, whether he would be executed in the end, Zuo Feng didn't care.

But Lu Zhi is so ignorant and humiliates Zuo Feng so much, even if Zuo Feng doesn't kill Lu Zhi, as a eunuch, if he wants to torture Lu Zhi, there are still some ruthless methods.

For example, he abolished Lu Zhi's hands and feet, picked Lu Zhi's tendons and joints, etc., anyway, Liu Hong, the son of heaven, and Zhang Rang, the regular servant, only wanted a living person, not a fierce general.

Just leave Lu Zhi in a breath.

couldn't bear to let Lu Zhi, a veteran, die at the hands of a eunuch, in order to let Lu Zhi live safely to Luoyang, Cheng Yuanzhi made a move, pulled out his horsewhip violently, and beckoned to Lu Zhi's face.

Syllable!

The whip whistled past, and in an instant, a whiplash wound was made on Lu Zhi's face.

The whip marks were extremely deep, and the blood began to gurgle and flow out.

Zuo Feng was frightened, and Lu Zhi was stunned.

Even if Zuo Feng arrested Lu Zhi for so long, Zuo Feng didn't dare to torture Lu Zhi's face, at most he whipped Lu Zhi's hands and feet.

It's too ruthless, Cheng Yuanzhi is too ruthless.

Don't slap people in the face, besides, the other party is still the famous Confucian Lu Zhi Lu Zigan, his protégés are all over the world, and he is a general in the court.

made this a fuss, which made Zuo Feng wonder if he should be sent to stop Cheng Yuanzhi a little, don't whip the old man Lu Zhi to death on the spot.

Cheng Yuanzhi whipped Lu Zhi, but he was still angry, pointed at Lu Zhi's nose with a horsewhip, and scolded angrily and irritably:

"Hmph, Lu Zhi, aren't you awake yet? The Son of Heaven bestowed upon you an official position, an official in the middle of the general, and put you in charge of an army of 50,000 people. As a great Confucian, there is no real evidence in his hands, only based on personal likes and dislikes, he is full of nonsense, you framed the Left Overseer to ask for money for the sake of villains, enriching your own selfishness, can there be evidence? ”

"If you have no evidence, you will ruin the reputation of the Overseers, and you are a great Confucian, and you know how to cherish feathers, so why do you not know that the Overseers value their reputation just like you. The military order is like a mountain, the law in the army is strict, the Son of Heaven sent the overseer to supervise the war, the duty of the overseer is to urge the war, you stop the army, that is to rebel against the king's will, what does it have to do with the overseer? As the commander of the army, you still don't obey the military orders, and the officers and soldiers in the army take you as an effect, how can you fight this battle? No wonder the yellow turbans defend the city, and it is difficult to get rid of it. ”

"Is it because you have no money that you can't beg a thief? How ridiculous! You are still a great Confucian, you are full of poetry and books, you should know that you will do it for profit, and if you do it, you will be ruined. People who work hard for money will sooner or later be blinded by money. Why do you bother, whether to fight or defend, it should be decided by the Son of Heaven, we are the generals, just keep the heart, whether it is victory or defeat, we have our own destiny. ”

Every time Cheng Yuanzhi said a word, he whipped Lu Zhi hard.

But Lu Zhi didn't care about the flying whip at all, savored what Cheng Yuanzhi said, and found that it was not unreasonable. Before, he just put all the responsibility on the eunuch Zuo Feng, in fact, Lu Zhi only reflected on his mistakes at this time.

It is true that Zuo Feng asked for money, but whether Zuo Feng got the money was greedy for ink, Lu Zhi really has no evidence for this, after all, Lu Zhi did not give money at all, and there was no money to give.

As a general, there is no money, when the war is fed, like the Yellow Turban thief, every time he captures a county, he will collect all the resources of the county town and use it to support the army, so that he has the strength and financial resources to attack the next county.

Lu Zhi naturally did not rob the money of the county, but should take down the Yellow Turban anti-thieves, confiscate the money of the Yellow Turban anti-thieves, and distribute them to the officers and soldiers in the army, so as to stimulate the morale and combat power of the army, so as to form a good cycle.

In the final analysis, Lu Zhi failed to win the first horn of the Yellow Turban Thief, which is the original sin.

At the same time, Lu Zhi's prejudice against eunuchs, and the identity of a great Confucian added to arrogance and prejudice, and he was disdainful of Zuo Feng's requirements, and even made many disrespectful remarks. According to Zuo Feng's position as an overseer, Lu Zhi was indeed the first person to disobey military orders, and he was also the chief general of the Han army, taking the lead in sabotage.

Lu Zhi began to introspect, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that he was incompetent, he read so many poetry books and military books, and as a result, the books were all read on the dog, and he was suddenly infinitely sad and overflowing.

However, the great Confucian Lu Zhi quickly figured it out, after all, he had read so many truths and accumulated a lot of knowledge, and this knot was not difficult for Lu Zhi.

Lu Zhi was in the prisoner car, suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, and then clasped his fists and saluted Cheng Yuanzhi, and smiled sincerely:

"Thank you for the righteousness of the state pastor, I will never forget it, the Han has heroes like the state pastor, and we are enough veterans to retire, and there are no regrets, haha."

People, if they have not been whipped in all kinds of whipping, they will not see their mistakes and delay their growth. As soon as Lu Zhi Cheng Yuanzhi reminded, he was finally relieved, he couldn't get along with a little eunuch, and the price dropped.

If you really want to fight on the basis of reason, you have to wait until you go back to Luoyang, stand on top of the court, and then confront the Son of Heaven or the eunuch Zhang Rang.

There is a saying in the book that it is better to talk to literati than to talk to villains. It was only at this time that Lu Zhi realized the truth. Otherwise, if you continue to quarrel with Zuo Feng and insist on your own reasoning, what is the difference between the great Confucian Lu Zhi and the eunuch Zuo Feng.

Even after a few whips, Cheng Yuanzhi's hands were tired, and seeing that Lu Zhi didn't hold grudges, but saluted and thanked him, he couldn't go down with this whip.

There was a little regret, but Cheng Yuanzhi still put away the horsewhip in his hand and instructed Liu Bei:

"Xuande, go get some good wine and grain and grass, and give them to Zuo Overseer and General Lu Zhonglang."

When Liu Bei heard this, he quickly turned his horse's head and rushed back to the army.

Lu Zhi nodded, and didn't say more, even if Cheng Yuanzhi gave him something, when he came here, it would fall into Zuo Feng's hands, but Lu Zhi still understood this little bit of heart.

However, Zuo Feng's eyes lit up, Cheng Yuanzhi is worthy of being a nobleman, a god of wealth, not to mention the generous shot, he is quite good, he knows how to be filial and obedient, and it is worth saying a few good words for Cheng Yuanzhi in front of Liu Hong, the son of heaven, and Zhang Rang, the middle servant.

Cheng Yuanzhi abandoned Lu Zhi, came to Zuo Feng's side, and said with a smile:

"Left Overseer, a little wine and grain and grass, not a respect, the heart of the state pastor, you have to wait for the overseer to be free, go to Youqing, and then let the state pastor do a little bit of the landlord's friendship. By the way, the Honshu Mu dared to ask, the overseer returned to the capital this time, and dared to ask who is now in charge of the 50,000 army? ”
