【Grace and Grace】

"Report to the general, all the 500,000 stones of grain and grass in the city have been returned to our army......"

"Report to the general, all 4,000 prisoners of war have been disarmed and surrendered......"

"Report to the general, all parts of Anhui County have been controlled by our army......"

"Report to the general, this is the righteous son of the leader of the Southern Barbarians, and I will wait for the general to dispose of it...... On your knees! When the soldier saw that Nanban saw that Lu Zhi did not kneel, he kicked his ring joint with his foot.

"Release! Dog Han! A young man struggled hard, and his mouth kept insulting the Han army, and his hatred for the Han people could be seen from those domineering eyes.

As soon as Lu Zhi heard that he was the righteous son of the rebels, he took a closer look at it, this person was about the same age as Liu Bei, but his figure was already burly and wonderful, his appearance and dress did not look like a Nanban, but like a Han man, could it be that he liked the culture of the Han Dynasty, or he was originally a Han person, and was recognized as a righteous son by the leader of the Southern Barbarians, so he asked: "What is your name, since you are wearing the clothes of my Han, why do you want to harass the people of my Han, who gave you the courage to provoke my Han repeatedly!" ”

When the young man saw Lu Zhi as a big man, he glared angrily and said: "I'm a big man, what a big man and a little man, I'll tell you this dog official, Lao Tzu was a Han before, what can you do!" As soon as he said this, Chen Zhi was immediately pressed to the ground by Lu Zhi's personal soldiers standing behind him, and his side face was directly attached to the ground, he struggled hard, but he couldn't break free.

As soon as Lu Zhi heard that Chen Zhi turned out to be a Han Chinese, a nameless fire suddenly rose in his heart, and he scolded: "You still have the face to say that you are Han, you are a Han, but you recognize thieves as your father, and do these shameless deeds of betraying the country, what qualifications do you have to say that you are Han, believe it or not, I will punish your nine clans today." Lu Zhi glared at Chen Zhi, and his angry arrogance made the soldiers next to him shudder.

"Hahaha...... Nine clans, hehe, my nine clans were killed by you dog officials of the Han Dynasty, if Wang San, the landlord of Lujiang County, hadn't killed my father and forcibly annexed my family's land, how could our family wander around, my mother sued the officials everywhere, but which official came to manage us, you dog officials are afraid of Wang San's power one by one, my mother called Tiantian, called the earth and the earth are not spiritual, and in the end she gave me the rest of the food, but she herself was starved to death...... If Nanban hadn't taken me in back then, I would have died a long time ago, you say I betrayed the country, hehe, but the country has taken care of the life and death of our people! ”

Suddenly, Chen Zhi said: "You dog officials, all of them are dignified, and you are high-sounding and high-spirited when you speak, but your heart is pickled and disgusting; When you go out, you are all Qing officials, they are all good officials, and they are all parents and officials of the people, but behind their backs, they are all officials and officials, oppressing the people, flattering and welcoming the chiefs, and commanding the people, you dog officials, only recognize money, only recognize power, do not recognize people, if you have the right and money, it is your father, who has no money and no power, it is your everything, that is, the people and animals in your eyes, but it is a pity that Shuxian County's defense is too hard, otherwise, I would have gone to copy Wang San's house and arrested the officials of the Han people, I will definitely cut you with a thousand knives, Let you dog officials be broken into thousands of pieces. ”

"You horseman, why are you talking so much!" Lu Zhi's personal soldiers saw that the more he spoke, the more energetic he became, and the more he spoke, the more unpleasant it became, so they found a piece of cloth and forcibly stuffed it into his mouth.

Of course, these words also moved many people present when they heard it, and Lu Zhi also secretly sighed that this person had such courage at such a young age. However, now that Lu Zhi knows his identity, he has also changed his original idea of killing him immediately, because Lu Zhi wants to use this person to get rid of Wang San, and besides, Chen Zhi is still young, and if he cultivates a little, he may still be a useful talent. But he couldn't say what he thought in front of so many people, because he didn't know how many people in this camp hated Wang San, and how many people were in the same nest with Wang San's snakes and rats. At this time, Lu Zhi pretended to be angry and said: "It's nonsense, a traitor is still here to make nonsense, pull me down and lock me up first, and then dispose of this person after I recover the nest." ”

At this time, Lu Zhi said to the generals in the account: "Summon, the first offender is convicted, and the rest are left alone, distribute food and silver taels to the prisoners of war, let them return to their hometowns, find their parents and wives, and let them live well; Secondly, the people in the city were pacified and given food to help them return to normal life as soon as possible. ”

"Yes, General!"

At this time, Lu Zhi sat alone on the steps of the tent, holding the brazier in his hand, defeating the Nanban was just around the corner, but could he minimize the casualties and losses to obtain the greatest benefits? Secondly, after pacifying the Southern Barbarians, how should Wang San be eradicated? Now I can only say these words to myself, think about it alone, I am afraid that I will just say it here, and Wang San will know it the next day. Since Chen Zhi is Chen Liang's son, his father died in the hands of Wang San, and Wang San has a grudge against his father, why not use it, in this battle, the food of the Nanban has been lost, and the army without food is like a bird without wings, a tiger without claws, if Chen is allowed to go to convince, the leader of the Nanban will definitely accept it gladly, so wouldn't it be better.

Thinking of this, Lu Zhi threw away the bamboo stick in his hand and walked straight to the detention place where Chen arrived.

Lu Zhi came to the place of detention, retreated left and right, and saw that there was no one around, so he personally loosened the tie for him and said: "Come, little brother, there were too many people present just now, and some words are not easy to say, I am the new Lujiang County Guard Lu Zhi, and I am not the person you said tends to be inflammatory, I don't know the harm of the powerful landlords to the people, and I also know that Wang San has been bullying the people of Lujiang County for a long time, but unfortunately I have no evidence, and I can't start to rectify Wang San......"

Chen Zhi was surprised at first why he came this time, and when he heard his words, he said in surprise: "This is true, then I will go back and testify to you." ”

Lu Zhi looked at him firmly and said, "Having said that, Chen Dao, since you have committed a heinous crime today, I am afraid that the death penalty is inevitable......"

Chen Zhi knelt down excitedly and said: "Anyway, today is death no matter what, it is better to avenge my father and mother and die worthily, if you can clear my father's name, you are my father-in-law, after doing Wang San, Chen Zhi is willing to be punished." ”

Lu Zhi nodded to him, and suddenly changed his words: "However, if you can go and persuade the leader of the rebel army in the nest, that is, your stepfather, to surrender, this official will go to the court and exempt you and your stepfather from the death penalty, are you willing?" ”

Chen Zhi learned that he could still make up for it, so he readily agreed: "I will go now, and I will definitely persuade my father-in-law to surrender, please rest assured." ”

After finishing speaking, Lu Zhi took matters into his own hands and let him go.

When the generals heard that the county guard had suddenly released the prisoner and asked him to be a lobbyist, they all asked in surprise: "Lord County Guard, what if this kid escapes, it is a capital crime to release the prisoner privately." ”

How could Lu Zhi not know that if he let Chen Zhi go this time, if he never returned, it would be a private release of prisoners and should be sentenced to death according to the law, he knew that the reason why Chen Zhi would help him this time was because he promised to avenge his parents and wash away his grievances, if he didn't have this condition, how could he be persuaded with his hatred of Han officials. He could have discussed with everyone before doing this, so as to reduce the risk-taking, but in this way, the matter of rectifying Wang San would be well known, and maybe the news had already reached Wang San's ears before he arrived at the office, which would undoubtedly increase the difficulty and risk of rectification...... So I can only make a desperate bet, and I can do things in the sky, so I will use it to gamble this time.

Lu Zhi simply said: "You don't have to say it anymore, everything is on my own." ”

"This ......" Everyone saw that the county guard had taken all the responsibilities, so it was difficult to say anything.

"How's the matter going with you?" Lu Zhi thought about the problem of dealing with the remnants of the rebels, so he asked back.

"General Qiyu, the transportation of the rebels is still in progress, and the distribution of food has been ordered according to your instructions!"

"Okay, you go down first!

......

"General, the thief has been gone for several days, and he hasn't come back yet, or let's attack, let's fight quickly, it's not the same thing for the war to drag on like this!"

"Yes, General, let's attack!"

"Chen Zhi, that kid is not a good bird at first glance, the person who can betray the Han people is a traitor, this kind of person is not credible at all!"

The atmosphere in the barracks has begun to change, Lu Zhi didn't say a word at this time, let the people below say a word to me, so many days, is Chen Zhi really lying to me, am I wrong, no, his crying in the camp that day is not something that a young man can pretend, his feelings are sincere and heartfelt, but why hasn't he come back now, is it the leader of the Southern Barbarians who changed his hexagram and wants to fight to the death with the Han army? Could it be that Chen Zhi has been imprisoned by the Nanban leader? But now that the Nanban has no food, once the army runs out of food, the Nanban leader must know the consequences, so what is he waiting for.

"General......" At this time, the generals of the battalions below saw that Lu Zhi was silent, and they all quieted down.

"Herald!" Lu Zhi stood up and said: "The army is approaching the nest, pay attention, make a big fanfare, and don't take action for the time being!" ”

"Yes!"

......

With the implementation of Lu Zhi's military campaign, it didn't take long for Chen Zhi to come to Lu Zhi's camp with the leader of the Southern Barbarians, asking for surrender. In fact, it is not all the credit of Chen Zhi, mainly because there is no food in the city, and secondly, the military spirit of the Nanban has been dispersed, and there is no combat ability at all, even if Chen arrives and does not come, the leader of the Nanban has already planned to surrender in his heart, but he is reluctant to surrender, mainly because there is still some food in the city, and at the same time he wants to see whether the Han army called Chen to persuade him to surrender is full of confidence, or he is afraid of the Nanban, when he saw the Han army approaching Juchao with great fanfare, he immediately decided to open the city and surrender.

"The leader of the Southern Barbarians sincerely came to surrender to the Han army today!" When he saw Lu Zhi, he knelt down on one knee and said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Lu Zhi saw the leader of the Nanban kneeling in front of him on one foot at this time, and he had no remorse or fear in his heart, so he suddenly scolded: "Come on, push the leader of the Nanban out and cut it down." ”

When these words were spoken, the leader of the Nanban suddenly fell to his knees in fright, and said, "General, I obeyed the meaning of my son Chen Zhi and surrendered sincerely." ”

Lu Zhi said sharply: "You instigated the Southern Barbarian masses to disturb my Han people, mutilating innocent people and causing misery, and now I sent Chen to persuade you to surrender, but you didn't come, you still don't know the crime, drag me out, cut down!" ”

Seeing that the guards pulled him out, the Nanban leader suddenly cried out and shouted: "Please, general, spare me, general, I won't dare to do it again, general......"

At this time, Chen Zhi couldn't stand it anymore, and pleaded for his father-in-law: "Why did the general rebel, now that the father-in-law has reformed himself, you can spare him, please, general." ”

When Lu Zhi saw that Chen Zhi had spoken, he knew that the play was almost done, and said: "Today, I read that you have repented, and the county guard will go to the court to release you...... After you go back, give me a good memory, don't breed trouble and harm living beings, otherwise, you won't have such good luck next time. ”

"Yes, yes, Lord Xie's grace not to kill, Lord Xie's grace not to kill." The leader of the Southern Barbarians kowtowed and apologized at this time, until blood came out of his head.

Lu Zhi was almost frightened when he saw him, and then he needed to be appeased, and said: "The grain and grass in the city will be divided into half of you, and the money will also be divided into half of you, take your barbarian soldiers back to your hometown, and teach them to live well." ”

"General Xie, General Xie......" At this time, the leader kept saying thank you and kowtowing.

In order to hide people's eyes, Lu Zhi turned to Chen Zhi and said: "Since I let go of your father, then you, who are a son, will stay and atone for his sins, and read that you have meritorious service in persuading the traitor, and the county guard will exempt you from the death penalty, but the capital crime can be avoided and the living crime cannot be escaped, come, tie me up and bring it back to the county government." This sounds a little twisted, but in fact, there is another understanding, Chen Zhi stayed as a proton, so as not to mess with the Nanban leader again, but the two of them are not biological, how much weight does this proton have?

The Nanban rebellion, which lasted for a year, finally ended, and Lu Zhi reported the results to the imperial court, but the result was that Liu Hong, the Emperor of Han Ling, learned that the rebellion had been eliminated, so he had more and more fun, and the dictatorship of the eunuchs became more and more serious, and the entire Han became darker, which had to make Lu Zhi feel that he was working for the country or the eunuchs...... However, at this time, Lu Zhi didn't have time to think too much, because the external troubles had been eliminated, and he was about to start operating on the internal troubles.

【Mission】

"Brother, since you went to the mountains to collect medicine last time, you don't even pick medicine, you don't read it when you're sick, you just take a book here all day long, I don't know what you're reading, what's in this book, it's so good-looking?" Zhang Bao grinded the medicine in his hand, watching Zhang Jiao hold a book all day long, sometimes frowning, sometimes smiling, sometimes sighing, sometimes excited, the whole person seemed to be in a state of madness, really ignoring the things outside the window, and only reading the sage books.

"Oh, Zhang Bao, don't you know, last time my brother and I went to the mountain to collect medicine, I saw a fairy Taoist priest......"

"How many times have I heard you say it, a Taoist priest is a Taoist priest, why do you have to add a god, there must be where did you come from, otherwise why would Emperor Wu drive them out back then!" Zhang Bao kept grinding the medicinal herbs in his hands, and he also started a complaint in his mouth.

"Okay, okay, don't talk about this, but this book really inspired me a lot, do you know what I've been worrying about before?" Zhang Jiao rarely put down the book today and had a good discussion with Zhang Bao.

"Can't get good medicine?" Zhang Bao stopped what he was doing and said curiously.

"It's not! Guess again! Zhang Jiao shook the book in his hand and said disgustedly.

"Can't marry a daughter-in-law?" Zhang Bao said with a wicked smile.

"Fuck, you're really not serious all day long!" Zhang Jiao said disgustedly.

"What's that, I'm not a roundworm in your stomach, how do I know what you're thinking!" Zhang Bao said scoundrelly at this time, picking up the medicinal herbs in his hand and ignoring Zhang Jiao.

"Hey~ The reason why we chose to practice medicine is to help the world, and Master Lu Nu also taught me this way back then. As a practitioner of medicine, it is my duty to provide relief, but I later found out that there are so many suffering people in the world, and what I have done will not help to save the people of the world. Therefore, I have been thinking and meditating hard, hoping to come up with a way to put this method into practice, which can really help the people of the whole world, so that they can have medical treatment and rely on their old age, so that they can embark on a truly happy life, away from illness and disaster, so that they will no longer be exploited by powerful landlords and oppressed by corrupt officials, so that they can truly decide their own destiny. Zhang Jiao was impassioned at this time, and said his ideals in one breath.

"Is it possible? We have no money, we have no power, why should we help the people, why should we fight against the government, they have an army, weapons, prisons, what do we have, what we have is herbal medicine, some are medical skills, and this broken book in your hand, why should we fight with the government, are our own lives very good, and they are not necessarily better than others? When Zhang Bao heard Zhang Jiao's unrealistic idea, he couldn't help but pour a few buckets of cold water on him.

"Not before, but now there is!" Zhang Jiao looked at Zhang Bao confidently.

"What's there? So why are you? Zhang Jiao asked rhetorically.

"With our medical skills, with the book in my hand, in today's world, the Yellow Sky is the supreme god, the Yellow God opened the world, created human beings, the world at the time of the Yellow Emperor is a peaceful world, is the best period of human beings, in this peaceful world, there is neither exploitation and oppression, nor hunger, cold and disease, but also no fraud and theft, everyone is free and happy. With this goal, why don't we create a sect and spread the teachings of this sect to the world, so that all the suffering people of the world can join this sect, unite the suffering people of the world, and strengthen the power of the suffering, so as to seek the world and happiness of the suffering. Zhang Jiao only felt surging in his heart at this time, because he finally saw the hope of the future.

"You...... Brother, are you rebelling? Zhang Bao listened to Zhang Jiao's description and was also frightened.

"Zhang Bao, this is not a rebellion, this is the will of the suffering, this is the general trend of the world, you and I can't change it, if you don't do it, others will do it, it's just that we are in front, you know?" Zhang Jiao put down the book at this time and walked towards Zhang Bao.

"And what do you want me to do?"

"It's not you, it's us, I decided to use the name of this book to create our sect, which is called Taiping Dao, with 'To Taiping' as the ideal and doctrine of Taiping Dao, and to promote the doctrine in the way of medicine, I believe we will succeed." Zhang Jiao patted Zhang Bao's shoulder at this time and said.

"Then I'll listen to you, they're all brothers anyway, I can't let you do this alone, I'll call Zhang Liang later!" Zhang Bao looked at Zhang Jiao at this time, and he didn't know if it was right to follow his brother like this at this time, but being able to help the suffering people get out of the sea of suffering, this is also what a practitioner should do, not to mention helping the people of the world.
