Chapter 346, Lu Zhuo retreated
Why didn't Liu Bei dare to hold Ma Teng responsible?
It's very simple, Emperor Xian is dead, people can't be resurrected after death, first, second, Ma Teng's soldiers are strong and strong, and he may kill again at any time, and Liu Bei has to worry about his current situation!
Because, he can't afford to mess with Ma Teng!
Once he goes through Ma Teng's crimes, Xingshi will only make his situation fall into despair!
Based on this alone, Guan Yu was also very dissatisfied, you know, he was almost killed by Ma Teng Ma Chao.
As a result, Wang Yun's family was killed, Liu Bei just sent envoys to reprimand Ma Teng a few words indifferently, and then, Liu Bei was busy again, busy pacifying the people, appeasing the civil and military courtiers, appeasing the family, and busy ...... Further!
Emperor Xian is dead, and there are no heirs, and the country cannot be without a king for a day, so Liu Bei naturally became the best candidate to take over the imperial power.
Liu Bei didn't say anything, just did what he had to do with all his heart.
If he doesn't say it, someone will naturally speak for him.
Soon, someone proposed to let Liu Bei ascend the throne and call the emperor, Liu Bei heard these words at first glance, and fell to the ground on the spot in fright, Liu Bei hurriedly shook his head, and said earnestly, "Absolutely not, how can you prepare for what virtue, you are not worthy of succeeding to the throne and being the emperor, how many relatives of the Han family, and I hope to choose another meritorious, and I am willing to be loyal to assist, and I will never dare to give birth to him!" Hugh will mention this again! ”
Saying no on his lips, but drinking honey in his heart, Liu Bei was proud in his heart, and he became more and more diligent in his work, no matter who he was, as long as he dared to persuade him to be the emperor, Liu Bei immediately turned his face, but instead of letting everyone persuade him to stop it, on the contrary, it intensified, and some people even openly went on a hunger strike and coerced him with death.
Liu Bei is not leaking, and he is still silent!
The news of Emperor Xian's death spread all over the Central Plains in less than two days.
A few are happy, a few are worried!
From a political point of view, the happiest person is Yuan Shao, Emperor Xian died, and Liu Yu's position was more stable; From a military point of view, Liu Bei has repeatedly lost troops and generals, suffered serious losses in strength, and has to deal with the current mess, which can no longer pose a threat to Yuan Shao.
And Lu Zhuo, after a few days of fierce fighting with Zhang Yan, after hearing the news, he withdrew his troops very decisively!
Although Zhang Yan has not been eliminated, Yuan Shao only has Zhang Yan as an enemy at the moment, and there is no need for Lu Zhuo to continue to stay in Jizhou, if Lu Zhuo continues to stay in Jizhou, Yuan Shao will naturally not refuse, but Lu Zhuo will lose a lot.
When the time comes, Yuan Shao will benefit, have fewer strong opponents, and get a lot of territory for nothing, and will become the biggest overlord in the entire north, and sooner or later he will also threaten Lu Zhuo.
In that case, Lu Zhuo would be a disadvantage.
He didn't want Yuan Shao to be destroyed, so he would have sent troops to help, and he didn't want Yuan Shao to continue to grow bigger, so Lu Zhuo had to withdraw in time.
If he helps Yuan Shao to expand his territory, but his Xuzhou is still a small land, then Lu Zhuo is afraid that he will become the number one fool in the world!
When returning to the army, Zhang He and Xu Huang were reluctant in every way, and now it was the most critical time for the battle, they repeatedly persuaded Lu Zhuo to stay, but Tian Feng did not say a word.
Tian Feng knew that this involved politics, and no matter how good an ally was, it was impossible for him to ignore his own interests, let his allies eat with a mouthful of oil, and let himself starve to death, no one would do this.
"Tian Feng?"
Hurriedly glanced at Tian Feng, this thin, goatee-bearded strategist, Lu Zhuo would remember it deeply.
When he came, he sent 50,000 troops, and when he went back, there were still no less than 35,000 soldiers and horses around Lu Zhuo.
On the way, I didn't expect to meet Zhao Yun, Zhao Yun looked lonely, just came from Beiping, saw Lu Zhuo's team, and wanted to make way, but Lu Zhuo greeted from afar, "Zilong, Zilong... It's always good to not see you for a few days, right? ”
Get?
Last time, the two of them were still undying enemies, but now, listening to Lu Zhuo's tone, it is like reuniting old friends after a long absence.
Lu Zhuo let the team continue to march, leaving only the Flying Tiger Battalion close protection, seeing a long pavilion on the side of the road, Lu Zhuo turned over and dismounted and led Zhao Yun into the long pavilion, although the weather was cold and the north wind was cold, but whether it was Lu Zhuo or Zhao Yun, his body was very strong, and he didn't take this cold winter wind seriously at all.
"Zilong, why do you have a sad face?"
Lu Zhuo was quick to speak, but Zhao Yun sighed, "General Lu, don't you know?" The Son of Heaven is dead!"
Lu Zhuo corrected, "I was killed, I don't know who died, at least, Wang Yun, Ma Teng, and Liu Bei can't get out of it!" ”
Although the people in the Military Aircraft Department were clear about what happened in Luoyang, because Lu Zhuo was out of the army, he didn't know much about the truth, and Li Ru didn't have time to send him a letter, so he was too far away.
Zhao Yundao "Don't hide it from the general, Beiping was lost and was taken away by Gongsun Du of Liaodong, I wanted to go to Luoyang to join Xuande Gong, but ...... Hey..."
The current situation also made Zhao Yun not know how to choose.
Lu Zhuo took the opportunity to invite Zhao Yun, "Zilong, why don't you go back to Xuzhou with me!" The princes of the world, it's not me Lu Zhuo's nonsense, no one is sincere to the Han at all, there is no wind and no waves, the death of the Son of Heaven is the best proof! ”
Zhao Yun shook his head, politely refused Lu Zhuo's invitation, Lu Zhuo had no choice, for a moment, he really wanted someone to tie Zhao Yun to Xuzhou.
However, this idea can only be thought about in the heart!
After talking, Zhao Yun was worried about his parents at home, and hurriedly said goodbye to Lu Zhuo, and Lu Zhuo couldn't help but shout Zhao Yun, "Zilong, the door of my Xuzhou is always open to you!" ”
Zhao Yun was stunned for a moment, shook his head and smiled bitterly, "The general loves Yun, why is this?" Yun He De, how can he be, he dare not be ashamed! ”
Lu Zhuo hugged his fists, "Zilong is too humble, the mountains and rivers have met, you and I will have a period in the future!" ”
After separating from Zhao Yun, Lu Zhuo slowed down the speed of the march, although he was in a hurry to go home, but Lu Zhuo repeatedly ordered that no one was allowed to disturb the people when he passed through Qingzhou, just like when he came, not a single grass or tree was allowed to be trampled, and every family was not allowed to disturb!
In addition, when he encountered some remnants of the Yellow Turban on the road, Lu Zhuo did not hesitate and immediately led troops to encircle and suppress them, which not only eliminated the local harm, but also saved a lot of trouble for Qingzhou Thorn Shi Jiaohe, and Lu Zhuo was not strong, and also sent someone to send a letter to Jiao He, so that he could be relieved that he had no malicious intentions.
This Qingzhou, after all, is Jiaohe's territory, even if Lu Zhuo is encircling and suppressing the Yellow Turban, after all, there is also a suspicion of overstepping the bounds.
"Lord, that Jiao He, the illness is not light!"
"Oh? Since you are passing through the precious land, how can you lose your etiquette, Ziyu, quickly prepare a generous gift, I want to visit the history of Jiao Ting! ”
"No!"
Zhuge Jin was busy preparing.
Anyway, when he left from Jizhou, the Zhen family sent a lot of gold, silver and jewelry, and Zhuge Jin selected a lot of them, and prepared some nourishing elixirs, deer antler ginseng and the like, which filled two large boxes.
Subsequently, Lu Zhuo asked the team to be stationed in place and took two hundred soldiers from the Flying Tiger Battalion to meet Jiao He.
