After Liu Bei and Zou Jing relieved the siege of Qingzhou, they discussed with Zou Jing where to go next.

"Xuande, it has been two months since we moved from Youzhou to Qingzhou, and now the siege of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Thieves has been lifted, and now we should go back to Youzhou like Liu Taishou to restore our lives." Zou Jing said.

"General Zou, this time I received the emperor's order to listen to the order under the account of my mentor Lu Zhi, but the troops were not enough, so I thought about going back to Zhuozhou to recruit some soldiers first, but then I met the Yellow Turban, and then met the clan uncle Liu Taishou, so I would come to this Qingzhou." Liu Bei said slowly.

"In this way, Xuande wants to go to Jizhou Julu County to meet Lord Lu?" Zou Jing asked helplessly.

"That's true, after all, the emperor's order can't be done, and besides, the preparation is the protector of the Western Regions, and it is no longer appropriate to command the troops in the Central Plains, and he is blessed with the grace of the saint to prepare three thousand soldiers and horses, but he needs to be under the account of the teacher." Liu Bei explained how he led the troops in the Central Plains as the protector of the Western Regions.

"In this case, I still need to lead the troops to return to Liu Taishou, so I can't walk with Xuande, I hope Xuande won't blame."

"Lord Zou is too worried, you and I have our own missions, otherwise I will be eager to drink with Lord Zou." Liu Bei said regretfully.

"He will be calm when he treats the thieves every day, and he will definitely get drunk with Xuande." Zou Jing also nodded.

"In this way, Bei will wait for Lord Zou to arrive in the Western Regions, looking forward to the day when he will reunite with Lord Zou." After that, Liu Bei led a group of fierce generals and 700 cavalry, and the horses rushed westward into Julu County.

………………………

Due to the successive battles, and the strong defense in the city of Zhangjiao Guangzong, there are many soldiers. Therefore, after Lu Zhi arrived outside Guangzong City, he did not continue to attack, but surrounded Guangzong City on all sides to prevent Zhang Jiao in Guangzong from contacting other Yellow Turbans.

However, Zhang Jiao's several attacks out of the city failed to establish any merits, and in addition to the fact that there was a lot of grain and grass in Guangzong City, Zhang Jiao did not intend to fight Lu Zhi to the death, but was ready to continue to wait for other Yellow Turbans to rush to the aid of Guangzong, and cooperate with the Yellow Turbans in Guangzong City to defeat Lu Zhi.

After Lu Zhi besieged Guangzong for a month and a half, Liu Bei led his army to arrive outside the city of Guangzong, and Lu Zhi was overjoyed when he knew Liu Bei's arrival, and personally went out of the camp to meet Liu Bei.

"This time, the teacher fought all the way from Luoyang, and won successive battles, and the disciple congratulated the teacher again." Although Liu Bei knew that Huangmen Zuofeng would come to Lu Zhi's camp in the near future, and Lu Zhi might be imprisoned. It's just that Liu Bei is thinking that with his own presence, Lu Zhi will not be arrested back to Luoyang as in history anyway.

"Xuande, although the division has been through several wars, it is not a big war, not to mention that although the thief's first horn is surrounded by Guangzong, there are still hundreds of thousands of thieves, and I only have tens of thousands of troops, what can I do?" Lu Zhi is not as confident as Liu Bei.

"Teacher, there are hundreds of thousands of thieves in Guangzong City, and there are hundreds of thousands of people, so now we only need to surround Guangzong, and after a few months, when the thieves' food and grass are exhausted, we can win without a fight. Yes, there is no need to be so pessimistic. Liu Bei explained.

In fact, Lu Zhi also had such a plan, after Lu Zhi's troops surrounded Guangzong, he rushed to Guangzong's Yellow Turban, Lu Zhi did not fight with him no matter how much, but put these Yellow Turban thieves into the city, but it was consistent with Liu Bei's plan.

"It would be nice if that were the case. When I heard that Xuande was coming to our army before, I was very happy, but I never thought that Xuande would be more than expected for two months. Lu Zhi changed the topic and asked again.

"Don't blame the teacher, but Bei went to Zhuozhou to recruit some fierce generals and soldiers because ......he needed to go to Zhuozhou," Liu Bei explained his experience in the past three months to Lu Zhi.

"I see, since Xuande also thinks that we only need to surround Guangzong, then we will besiege Guangzong without attacking, I will give Xuande another 3,000 elite soldiers, Xuande can defend the Yellow Turban thief army gathered to Guangzong behind our army, if it can win the best, if it can't win, just notify me, I will let it into Guangzong."

Liu Bei heard this and nodded in agreement. At the same time, Liu Bei led 3,000 cavalry from Lu Zhi and cruised with Lu Zhi's army.

It's just that it's only been a month, in which Liu Bei blocked most of the yellow turbans with 3,000 cavalry, and more than 10,000 yellow scarves were all put into the city by Lu Zhi. At the same time, Zuo Feng, the envoy of Emperor Ling of Han, also came to Lu Zhi's camp.

And the arrival of Huangmen Zuofeng, Lu Zhi did not slack off, and hurriedly raised the account to welcome Zuofeng. When Zuo Feng walked into Lu Zhi's camp, he sat on the throne without concessions.

Hearing Lu Zhi's summons, Liu Bei hurriedly rushed to the big tent of the Chinese army. Arriving at the big tent of the Chinese army, Liu Bei lifted the curtain and walked in, as soon as he entered, he saw a middle-aged man in the costume of a eunuch standing in the center of the big tent sitting on the main seat, which seemed to have just arrived.

Although he knew that this person should be Zuo Feng, Liu Bei didn't pay attention to it, but strode forward to salute everyone in the tent: "I've seen my teacher, I've seen your colleagues, it's too late, please forgive me, forgive me!" ”

The person also hurriedly returned the salute to Liu Bei, and then Zuo Feng, who was sitting on the main seat, said quite politely: "My Huangmen Zuo Feng has seen Liu Duhu. But because Liu Bei often bribed eunuchs, these eunuchs were more polite to Liu Bei, but this made the other civil and military forces in the account frown.

Liu Bei was also quite helpless about this, but fortunately, Lu Zhi, who was at the top, nodded slightly and said: "Xuande, sit down quickly, presumably the envoy will come to my camp, and the saint will have orders." "It can be regarded as relieving Liu Bei's embarrassment.

When Liu Bei heard Lu Zhi say this, he ignored Zuo Feng and walked towards the vacant seat on the side. Then he said to a young general beside him: "What is the important task of this Zuo Fenglai Mentor Camp?" ”

The young general on the side glanced at Liu Bei obliquely, and replied: "This Zuo Feng is an angel sent by the imperial court!" It is said that he inspected military affairs on behalf of the Holy Lord. ”

Seeing that Liu Bei didn't give himself face, although Tian Feng was a little annoyed, he thought that he might be able to get a lot of benefits from Lu Zhi's side for a while, so he coughed twice to resolve his embarrassment, and then said in the eunuch's unique male duck voice.

"Lu Zhonglang, now that Huangfu Yizhen and Zhu Gongwei have repeatedly performed miraculous feats, but you are stagnant under this small Guangzong city, the Holy Lord asked me to ask Lu Zhonglang what he wanted? Don't you want to resist the will and disrespect? ”

Lu Zhi had a serious face, and said in a deep voice to the eunuch: "Zuo Huangmen, since the old man set out from Luoyang to conquer northern Hebei, he has defeated the main army of the Yellow Turban several times, and now he has besieged Zhang Jiao under this Guangzong City, which has lasted more than three months, not that I tolerate the remaining sins, but this Guangzong has gathered the elite of the Yellow Turbans, and there are Zhang Jiao, Zhang Bao and other thieves to suppress morale, which has led to the fact that this Guangzong City has not been able to be attacked for a long time!" ”

"Besides, the old man besieged Guangzong in order to consume the enemy's grain and grass, and when the enemy's food was exhausted, the old man could lead the army to victory without a fight."

"I understand Lu Zhonglang's distress, but it's okay for Lu Zhonglang to say this to me, but if a certain person also says this to the saint, then the saint will believe something?" After Lu Zhi finished speaking, Zuo Feng seemed to suddenly change his face, and his tone softened. Zuo Feng's sudden change made Lu Zhi stunned for a moment, and then spoke: "Then please Zuo Huangmen, and beautify the old man in front of His Majesty!" ”

"That's for sure, I also know that Lu Zhonglang worked hard for the saint to sweep away the enemy, but, Lu Zhonglang! Due to the reason of the Yellow Turban thieves, the Holy Lord took out all the money in the West Garden to recruit soldiers, because the Holy Emperor's silver money was not enough to spend. ”

"And Lu Zhonglang will definitely gain from sweeping away so many thieves. If Lu Zhonglang can contribute one or two, then come to think of it, the saint will definitely be happy and reward Zhonglang! Zuo Feng saw that Lu Zhi wanted to say good things for him himself, so he nodded and said.

When Liu Bei saw this, he suddenly felt that he was about to suffer, but he wanted to answer for Lu Zhi, but he never thought that Lu Zhi heard Zuo Feng speak like this, slapped the table, and said in a deep voice: "Since the old man became an official, he has fulfilled his duties and never embezzled or accepted bribes, so he has no long things, and there is no treasure to give to the saint, and most of the yellow turbans have not been destroyed. ”

Lu Zhi heard Zuo Feng's request, and understood that it was not Emperor Han Ling who wanted money, but Zuo Feng pretended to use Emperor Han Ling to give him all the money, but Lu Zhi usually did not wait to see eunuchs, and he pretended to be close to Zuo Feng because the whole country was determined to fight against the Yellow Turban thieves, but now he saw Zuo Feng openly asking for bribes, but how could he not be angry?

"You, you, you! Lu Zigan, you don't know how to lift, a certain whisper will tell you, you will answer me like this! Okay, okay, today's matter, a certain will definitely be the same Your Majesty, and I want to see what happens to you Lu Zigan! "Let's just leave!

After Zuo Feng left, the big tent of the Chinese army was in a mess, some Ti Luzhi was uneven, some were silent, and some showed a playful face; All of a sudden, the big tent was full of chaos and chaos; And Lu Zhi, who was at the top, at this time, his face was gloomy and scary, looking at the people in the tent, and after "humming", he turned around and walked into the back tent!
