0137: Changing generals
Did someone from the imperial court come to Guangzong? Yes, here it is again, but obviously, this time it was not Lu Zhi's request, but the imperial court took the initiative to send someone. And not only did they send people, but they also sent a lot of people.
"This ...... This ......" Lu Zhi looked at the holy decree in his hand, his expression was full of shock and disbelief, and the whole person was trembling. In front of him was a stout man, who looked to be in his 40s, with a thick beard and a fierce face.
Judging by his looks alone, he is definitely the kind of absolute bad person. Of course, in the future, he will indeed be a bad person, or a very evil person, but it is not an exaggeration. Because his name is ...... Dong Zhuo!
After a long while, Lu Zhi raised his head and looked at Dong Zhuo, "Why?!" Why the hell?! Lu Zhi's tone seemed to be questioning, and it seemed to be venting, very sharp and angry, completely lacking his previous gentle and elegant appearance.
"Back to General Lu Zhonglang, the lower official didn't know the inside story, only that the imperial court asked the lower official to replace you to be responsible for pacifying the thieves in Jizhou. Other specific whys...... The envoy sent by the imperial court did not say much to the lower officials, but only asked the lower officials to pacify Jizhou as soon as possible. Dong Zhuo hurriedly replied when he heard this.
"What?!" As soon as Dong Zhuo's words fell, before Lu Zhi could speak, there was a burst of exclamations from the side, but it was the many generals who came with Lu Zhi, obviously they were also shocked by Dong Zhuo's words. Then, just as everyone was talking, a louder voice sounded in the military tent.
"Well...... Lord Lu, this ...... What you say is true?! A person walked out of the corner of the military tent, Manchester United looked at Lu Zhi in shock and asked, who is it not Liu Bei?
Speaking of which, although he is just a mere soldier, on the one hand, he commands 10,000 people to vote, and Lu Zhi has not withdrawn his right to command this army. On the other hand, Liu Bei is a genuine disciple of Lu Zhi, and he is good friends with many generals. In addition, Lu Zhi did intend to promote his disciple, and in the end, Liu Bei appeared in the big tent as a military candidate, although Lu Zhi used the reason that Liu Bei was a member of the Han family, although he declined, he should also be given due respect.
In a word, everyone's eyes immediately focused, and Dong Zhuo and the two people behind him also turned to look. Now it is a very formal occasion, everyone is noisy, and they may be too surprised to explain, but Liu Bei came out directly to ask, then it was a little ...... After all, Dong Zhuo is still an envoy on behalf of the imperial court.
When Dong Zhuo saw Liu Bei, he immediately frowned slightly and wanted to open his mouth to reprimand, but before he spoke, he looked at the gentle and elegant man beside him vaguely, and after seeing the man's expression, his expression stretched out again, and he stood there as if he didn't see it.
"Xuande must not be rude!" Seeing this, Lu Zhi immediately recovered from his anger and hurriedly scolded.
Then, he turned his head to look at Dong Zhuo and said helplessly, "Xuande is a disciple of Zhi, and when he suddenly heard the news, he was inevitably a little ......."
Without waiting for Lu Zhi to finish speaking, Dong Zhuo laughed directly and said, "Lu Zhonglang will not have to be like this, Zhuo knows very well how much Lu Zhonglang will be loved by the generals under his command, they will be like this, but it is also human nature." ”
Saying that, Dong Zhuo turned his head to look at everyone again, and said with a very sincere expression, "Everyone, this official knows your worries, but please rest assured, since Lu Zhonglang sent troops to Jizhou, he has fought consecutive battles, and even surrounded that corner in Guangzong and did not dare to come out, which is known to the world." Thinking about what is happening now, it is just that there is a villain doing something in secret, and when Lu Zhonglang will return to the capital division, the saint will naturally understand the cause and effect. ”
"Alas, Dong Zhonglang won't need to comfort them, I think it must be those eunuchs who are ......doing the trouble," Lu Zhi sighed when he heard this, but there was no anger anymore. As he spoke, Lu Zhi handed over the Tiger Talisman to Dong Zhuo, looked at the others and said, "Everyone, in the future, Dong Zhonglang will replace me to pacify the Yellow Turban thieves in Jizhou, and I hope you don't have any thoughts about my affairs." ”
After speaking, Lu Zhi turned his head to look at Dong Zhuo again, "General Dong Zhonglang, I will entrust these sons and daughters to you!" ”
"Lu Zhonglang will be polite, but Zhuo wants to ask you." Dong Zhuo hurriedly replied when he heard this.
Hearing this, Lu Zhi didn't say much, and strode directly outside the tent, and outside, there were already about 100 troops waiting there around a prisoner car. Originally, when everyone saw it, they thought it was a prisoner car specially prepared by the imperial court for Zhang Jiao, but now that they think about it, it was actually prepared for Lu Zhi.
Yes, in the holy decree issued by Emperor Ling himself, not only did he appoint Dong Zhuo, the county guard of Hedong County, as the general of Dongzhong Lang, and ordered him to replace Beizhong Lang and put Lu Zhi in charge of pacifying the Yellow Turban thieves in Jizhou, but also asked that when he took over, Lu Zhi would be put into a prisoner car and escorted back to Luoyang.
So it's no wonder that Lu Zhi was so shocked and angry, because if he followed the normal method, even if he had any doubts about Lu Zhi's combat methods, he would at most send someone over to inquire, or directly order him to go back to Luoyang to explain. And now, Lu Zhi was directly escorted back to Luoyang as a sinner? Not to mention anything else, if this incident happened to Li Yi, it is estimated that Lu Bu and them would directly kill people and rebel, right?
However, just as Lu Zhi walked into the prisoner car, and the soldiers were about to put shackles on him, Dong Zhuo suddenly said loudly, "Everyone, Lu Zhonglang will work hard, and this matter is just a traitor, why don't you put on the shackles when you are about to get to the place?" ”
This kind of prisoner cart generally requires the prisoner to stand in the car, and after wearing the shackles, the shackles will be stuck on the railing above, so that the prisoners cannot sit down. In this case, from Guangzong to Luoyang, the suffering can be imagined.
"Thank you General Dong Zhonglang, but ......" Lu Zhi immediately wanted to object when he heard this, but before he finished speaking, he heard Dong Zhuo say again.
"General Lu Zhonglang, you are not wrong in this matter itself, in case you return to Jingshi Shengshang and let you come back after understanding the situation, but you can't make the trip due to physical reasons......" Dong Zhuo's attitude was still so respectful, and he seemed to have great respect for Lu Zhi.
Hearing Dong Zhuo's words, Liu Bei and others hurriedly followed the persuasion, and in the end, Lu Zhi still agreed and did not wear shackles before entering the division. Well? Do the guards who are responsible for escorting Dong Zhuo have no opinion? Obviously not, after all, who sees a group of people glaring at them viciously, and there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses around them......
Soon, Lu Zhi left in front of everyone, although Dong Zhuo, Liu Bei and others wanted to send Lu Zhi for a distance, but he refused.
