Chapter 20: Extermination of the Race (3)

The two armies joined forces, bringing unprecedented pressure to the Lu clan. Lu Chan and Lu Lu hurriedly convened a meeting of family members to discuss, everyone said a word, and they had everything to say, and the brothers couldn't make up their minds.

Chen Ping also received the news of the successful alliance between Guan Ying and Liu Xiang, and he hurriedly found Zhou Bo and discussed: "Now it's your turn and I to make a move." ”

Zhou Bo was a little helpless, "Although I am a captain, I can't even enter the barracks." ”

Chen Ping smiled mysteriously, "Don't worry, we'll start with the Northern Army." ”

The commander of the Northern Army is King Zhao and General Lu Lu, this guy is even more incapable than Lu Chan, and Chen Ping wants to take him under the knife.

Although Qu Zhou Hou Lishang was born as a hero, he has been relegated to the second line for a long time because of old age and illness. In this power struggle between the Liu and Lu families, he remained neutral and did not help each other. Things do not turn out the way you want. He didn't want to get into trouble, but things came to him. It's just because he has a son named Liji, and Liji is a good friend of Lu Lu.

Chen Ping and Zhou Bo sent people to kidnap Li Shang and forced Li to send them to persuade Lu Lu to give up his military power. Father and friend, can only choose one of the two, Li Ji chose the former. He ran to see Lu Lu and persuaded: "Gaozu and the Queen Mother jointly pacified the world, there are nine people in the Liu family who are crowned kings, and the three people who are made kings in the Lu family are all discussed by the ministers and approved by the princes. Now that the Queen Mother has passed away, the emperor is young, you are the King of Zhao, you don't return to your fiefdom, but you serve as a general, holding on to the military power, how can the ministers not be suspicious! It is better to return the seal to the imperial court, hand over the military power to the Taiwei, and ask King Liang to hand over the seal of Xiangguo, and make it clear to the ministers before returning to their own feudal country, the State of Qi will have no excuse to send troops, and the ministers will be steady. You will be the king of Zhao in peace, and future generations will always be kings, this is the long-term plan! ”

Lu Lu trusted Li Ji, and was dazzled by the flickering, so he wanted to hand over the military power. He sent someone to tell Lu Chan and the old people of the Lu family, some people thought it was feasible, some people said no, and their opinions were inconsistent. Lu Lu hesitated.

Lu Lu and Li Ji, the second generation of officials, often play together. Once when he went out of the city to hunt and passed by the villa of Wuyanghou, Lu Lu stopped his horse and met his little aunt, Mrs. Lu Xiao, and informed him of his intention to give up military power. Lu Xiao scolded this stupid nephew, "If you give up military power as a general, the whole Lu clan will die without a place to be buried!" "When the catastrophe is coming, the knowledge of the old men of the Lu family is not as good as that of an old woman.

Seeing that the situation was tense, Prime Minister Zuo quickly resigned and became the Taifu instead, indicating that his attitude was to draw a clear line with the Lu family.

Lang Zhong ordered Jia Shou to return from the envoy of Qi and urged the Liang King Lu Chan to return to the fiefdom as soon as possible. It just so happened that Pingyang Hou Cao Qi was on duty in the palace, and he immediately went out of the palace to tell Chen Ping and Zhou Bo. Once Lu Chan and the others are out of Chang'an, it will be difficult to eradicate them. Without further ado. Exterminate the Lu clan today!

Zhou Bo wanted to enter the Northern Army guarding Changle Palace, but he couldn't get in. Xiangping Marquis Ji Tong was in charge of Fu Jie, and Zhou Bo asked Ji Tong to take Fu Jie and falsely passed on the emperor's edict: let Tai Lieutenant Zhou Bo enter the Northern Army. Li Ji and the others went to persuade Lu Lu again, "The emperor ordered the Taiwei to be in charge of the northern army and let you go back to the fiefdom, you quickly hand over the general's seal and leave as soon as possible." Lu Lu believed in Li Ji, so he took off the military seal and handed over the military power to Zhou Bo.

Zhou Bo entered the Northern Army Gate with the general seal, immediately gathered the soldiers, and issued an order: "Support the Lu family's exposed right arm, support Liu's exposed left arm." The soldiers of the Northern Army all showed their left arms and supported Liu.

The Southern Army was still in the hands of LΓΌ Chan. When Zhou Bo went to the Northern Army, Chen Ping summoned Liu Zhang, Marquis of Zhu Xu, and asked him to assist Zhou Bo. Zhou Bo sent Liu Zhang to guard the military gate and ordered Cao Ji to inform the guards of Weiyang Palace: Lu Chan was not allowed to enter the palace.

Lu Chan didn't know that Lu Lu had left the Northern Army, and he wanted to enter Weiyang Palace, but was stopped outside the palace gate. Lu Chan led his troops to forcibly break through. Cao Wei was afraid that he couldn't stop it, and Pegasus reported to Zhou Bo. Zhou Bo sent Liu Zhang into the palace and said to him: "Hurry up and enter the palace to defend the emperor." "I have been rolling in the officialdom for many years, and everyone has become a human spirit. Until this moment, Zhou Bo was not sure that he would be able to overthrow the Lu family, so he only explicitly said that he would defend the emperor.

When Liu Zhang entered Weiyang Palace, he saw that Lu Chan was already in the palace.
