Taking the letter in Zhang Fei's hand, Su Xiu frowned while looking at it, his appearance did affect the trend of this era, it should have been the eunuch Zuo Feng who slandered and framed Lu Zhi to Emperor Liu Hongjin in June, but now Liu Hong was suspicious in his heart, and asked Zhao Zhong to go to Jizhou for the second time to check. As a result, because Lu Zhi did not bribe, he scolded Zhao Zhong and other ten permanent servants for misleading the country and the people, Zhao Zhong held a grudge, so he slandered Emperor Ling again, causing Emperor Ling to be furious, and ordered Lu Zhi to be arrested and returned to Beijing, preparing to be beheaded after arriving in Beijing.

The arresting team arrived in Guangzong County on August 19 and escorted Lu Zhi on his way the next day. Since Yu Ban went to Jizhou with Cao Cao, he has seen with his own eyes how this old general led his troops to defeat Zhang Jiao, and after a few months of contact, he knew very well that Lu Zhi was a rectum, especially on the issue of treating eunuchs and misleading the country. Now he has finally been killed.

Yu Ban sighed at Lu Zhi's loyalty, and felt that such a general who could fight well should not be treated like this, so he sent Su Xiu an urgent letter, hoping that Su Xiu could rescue Lu Zhi. Although Lu Zhi had a bad image of Su Xiu last time he entered Beijing, Su Xiu knew very well that the old general was just outspoken, and he didn't have much malice.

In the letter, Yu Ban also mentioned that the person who took over the command was replaced by Dong Zhuo, not the historical Huangfu Song. The reason is that Dong Zhuo has repeatedly quelled the rebellion of the Qiang people in the northwest, and his military talent is not inferior to veterans such as Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun.

And Su Xiu knew very well that Dong Zhuo did have some bravery, and he did have some military exploits in Xiliang, but this person was not Zhang Jiao's opponent. Not to mention that Lu Bu, the strongest under him, has not yet taken refuge in him, even Li Dao, Guo Yan, Fan Chou, and Zhang Ji are unable to go out with him now because they want to stick to the fortresses in Xiliang. When the Yellow Turban suppressed the bandits, he actually only brought a little bit of Xiliang Army over to melee feats, if he was just asked to play a side game, he would win, if he became the commander-in-chief, the chances of the officers and troops winning were not great.

Since his current territory is adjacent to Jizhou, if he can't let the Yellow Turban Rebellion subside as quickly as in history, the threat to him will be extremely great. So this time he had to stop the situation from escalating.

"Yide, go and call Zilong, I have something to discuss with him, and call Xiaohai as well." Su Xiu thought about it and said to Zhang Fei.

After a while, Zhao Yun, Wang Hai and Zhang Fei came to Su Xiu together.

"This is an urgent report that Wen Ze just came, and now there is a change in the bandits in Jizhou, you can take a look and tell me your opinion." After speaking, Su Xiu handed the letter in his hand to Zhao Yun.

After circulating it, I saw that everyone's faces were solemn.

"Senior brother, I thought that now the decision of the imperial court has been made, Dong Zhuo has also heard a little, he may still have some ability to fight, but he is definitely not as good as General Lu Zhonglang, besides, this person has a brutal temperament, if he is put in command this time, I will not talk about whether he can successfully exterminate the Yellow Turban, but it is definitely not a good thing for the Han Dynasty officials and soldiers."

Although Wang Hai is still young, he has been by Su Xiu and Xi Zhicai for the longest time, and he does have a certain tactical thinking, and he also nodded frequently after listening to Zhao Yun's words.

Zhang Fei didn't know much about Dong Zhuo, but when he heard Zhao Yun say that he had a brutal temperament, he said: "Lord, since this Dong Zhuo has a brutal temperament, then if Yu Duwei continues to be in Jizhou, I am afraid that it will not be a good thing, after all, everyone knows very well that the 800 Taishan Army that went to Jizhou is the absolute elite, if this person does not make good use of it, we hundreds of brothers are afraid that they will become cannon fodder." ”

"I have taken into account what you said, the key is what kind of reason we use to intervene, Lord Lu is okay to say, the point is that the situation in Jizhou cannot tolerate the slightest mistake, if there is no legitimate reason, we have no way to block the appointment of the imperial court."

"Senior brother, you see that this will not work, we will immediately wave our army to the north, Yu Duwei's letter mentioned that Dong Zhuo took 15,000 infantry from Luoyang, now even if he travels day and night, it will take about seven days to reach Guangzong, and we have a cavalry advantage, from Jinan to Guangzong is only a maximum of three days, if we can find a fighter before Dong Zhuo, defeat Zhang Jiao in one fell swoop, and when Dong Zhuo arrives, the overall situation has been decided, even if he takes command at that time, it will not hurt." Zhao Yun thought for a moment and said.

"But where is it so easy to find a fighter? General Lu has been in Guangzong for so long and has not been found, we only have three or four days, how can we find a fighter plane in this short time and defeat Zhang Jiao? Zhang Fei said with an anxious face.

"Zilong has a point, this may be the most feasible plan at the moment. As for the fighters, we can't wait for them to come out, we can completely build the fighters ourselves. After listening to Zhao Yun's suggestion, Su Xiu thought about it and said.

"Then I'm going to assemble the team and be ready to go."

"Well, Yide, you ask the herald to bring our plan to Wen Ze, and ask him to discuss with Cao Cao, try to make a set of battle plans to lure the snake out of the hole before we arrive, you and Zilong will lead two thousand cavalry with me to Guangzong as soon as possible, and Xiao Hai will lead the infantry to follow. In addition, let the three Lin brothers play the role of the Yellow Turban Army to rob the prisoner car escorting Lord Lu, and it is necessary not to let Lord Lu be escorted into Beijing smoothly, at least until the news of our defeat of the Yellow Turban reaches back to Luoyang, so that we can save Lord Lu's life. ”

"Yes!" Several people took their orders and left.

Not long after, two thousand Taishan cavalry gathered in the Licheng school field and followed Su Xiu to rush to the aid of Guangzong.

……

Two days later, at dusk, outside the city of Guangzong, Cao Cao's camp

Yu Ban quickly received Su Xiu's reply, found Cao Cao and said: "General Cao, this is a reply from my family, they have led the cavalry to rush to our aid, he hopes that we can create a suitable fighter to defeat Zhang Jiao in one fell swoop before Dong Zhuo arrives, so as to have a chance to save Lord Lu." ”

Cao Cao also knew a thing or two about Dong Zhuo, and knew that his arrival would not play a big role in suppressing the bandits, they had already done what they should do, and if Dong Zhuo was allowed to pick up their hard-earned fruits as soon as he came, neither he nor his soldiers would be willing. Moreover, although Lu Zhi is straightforward and fast-talking, he is dedicated to the stability of the Han Dynasty, and he treats his soldiers very well, and Cao Cao can't bear to let such a big Han pillar fall like this.

As for Su Xiu, Cao Cao had already felt his ability when he was recruiting Bocai, he was a handsome talent, and he was often able to revitalize some complex situations, so he was still very convinced by Su Xiu, and after reading Su Xiu's letter, he didn't hesitate and agreed directly.
