On September 17, the light of day broke.

Iron hooves trampled on the wet road in the night rain, mud splashed everywhere, and more than 10,000 cavalry soldiers approached the capital and stopped two hundred paces away.

The soldiers of the military capital, who had already seen the cavalry visiting, looked vigilant on the tower of the West Gate City, and some people bowed and opened the full moon, waiting for the battle.

There were more than ten people in the cavalry phalanx who came out of the horse, and the two people in the lead were a white horse and a silver spear, and a white horse and an iron spear, and they talked for a while, and then the figure of the white horse and silver spear drove the horse forward a few steps, raised the gun and shouted: "Listen to the Wuhuan army in the city!" The Marquis of Ji and the Gongsun Zan of the Riding Captain are here! You haven't opened the city and surrendered yet! ”

The figure on the tower swayed, but did not respond, still holding the bow and guarding.

The rider went back and talked to the rider with the iron spear for a few more moments, and then entered the phalanx, and after a while, he came out with a cart in which sat a child of about ten years old.

The rider shouted again, "Listen to the Wuhuan army in the city! Wu Huan Shan Yu Lou Ban is here! Don't wait until you open the city gates! Go out and greet you! ”

Suddenly the figures on the city tower shook even more, and people kept popping up from the female wall, even the archers were looking at each other, and some people looked left and right, as if they were discussing something, but no one responded.

Seeing that the reaction from the castle tower was inexplicable, and from time to time there were people in the cavalry phalanx under the city, and the rider went back and talked to the man with the spear, and soon after, the rider came out with his spear and shouted: "What are you doing!" Someone in charge! Liu......"

Before he finished speaking, the city gate suddenly opened, and three figures led many cavalry infantry to shoot out of the horse.

The leader wore a crown on his head, a soap coat, and a purple sac specially held with a ribbon on his waist, and a green ribbon representing the official to two thousand stones was revealed.

The man was more than fifty years old, with an elegant appearance, although his temples were white, he was in good spirits, and he was wearing an official uniform at this time, and he had a little more indescribable majesty.

When the man came out, the rider who came out of the horse was also stunned, and then laughed and rode over, "Teacher! How did you guys get here! ”

It was naturally Liu Zheng who spoke, and the person in official uniform was Lu Zhi.

When he could see Lu Zhi clearly, as well as Guan Yu and Zhang Fei beside him, Gongsun Zhan, who was standing in front of the formation, also stretched out his frowns, and then beckoned to Huang Shao, Li Cheng and others, signaling everyone to come over, but turned his head and shook the reins, and Guan Yu over there suddenly shouted after Liu Zheng approached, "Anti-thief, don't get off the horse and surrender!" With a buzz, the Qinglong Glaive slammed into the head of the horse under Liu Zheng's seat.

A short neighing sound of a horse sounded in the open field, and then the horse's neck was cut off with a knife, blood burst out, and the horse fell, and Liu Zheng fell out, rolling on the ground several times, and half of his body was covered in blood.

Before Gongsun Chan and the others could react, a Confucian general in Xuanjia behind Guan Yu seemed to have been waiting for a long time, drove a few steps forward, and immediately aimed the spear at Liu Zheng's head, shouting: "Someone!" Tie it up! ”

At the same time, Liu Zheng roared hysterically: "Guan Yunchang! You're crazy! ”

He was lying on the ground with his arms covered in a cold sweat, his body was spasming, his nose was broken and bleeding, and half of his face was worn out and oozing blood. At this time, the hairband had long been loosened, and his hair was scattered, half dusty and half horse blood, and he looked extremely embarrassed.

"Shaft! Dare to blame Yun Chang! You don't know your sin! ”

With Lu Zhi's shout, there was a bang in the cavalry phalanx, Gongsun Zhan stared at the Confucian general with a spear, his expression seemed to be recalling something, but he didn't clap his horse again, nor did he get off the horse, and after raising his hand to signal Li Cheng, Zhao Yun and the others to calm down, he shouted in a hoarse voice: "Teacher, I don't know what crime Deran has committed!" ”

"Ask him!"

Lu Zhi snorted coldly and looked at Liu Zheng.

Two soldiers set Liu Zheng up, and punched and kicked Liu Zheng, who refused to cooperate, twice in front of everyone, shouting for Liu Zheng to be honest, and then tied Liu Zheng up.

Liu Zheng looked at the Confucian general with his spear all the time, and said hatefully: "Teacher, I think I am acting above board, and I don't know where I made a mistake, it is worthy of you to kill your relatives so righteously, and it is worthy of Liu Youzhou's son Liu Dagongzi to face each other so horizontally!" ”

"Liu He!" Gongsun Chan snorted, his brows suddenly furrowed, and then he glanced at Lu Zhi, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and the divine light in his eyes kept flickering.

Liu He snorted coldly, and said with a disdainful expression: "What a good one to act above board!" Come on, hang people's heads out! ”

As soon as the words fell, a small cage was hung out on the city tower, and a human head was placed in it, Liu He sat on the horse, and shouted at Liu Zheng with a spear: "Do you know this person!" ”

"You're going to have his face facing me!" Liu Zheng shouted, and then was kicked by a soldier behind him and fell to his knees.

Through his messy hair, he glared at Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, gritted his teeth and said, "You and my brothers said that they would live and die together, what the hell are you doing!" Climb the high branches and forget the old people, right? ”

"A certain disdain to live and die with the thief." Guan Yu snorted coldly, but Zhang Fei pursed his lips and lowered his head.

"It's against your mother! Guan Yunchang, if Lao Tzu is not dead, you wait to die! Liu Zheng gritted his teeth, and Lu Zhi said with a cold face: "Presumptuous! Do you know that the old man is preparing to take up the post of acting as the county guard, and Yun Chang is the captain under my command, threatening the court officials, you are really a chaotic minister and thief! ”

"Teacher, you ......"

"Shaft, don't admit your guilt! Do you know that the head of Gongsun Du in the city is it! Before he died, he confessed, saying that you were plotting a rebellion with him! ”

As soon as the words fell, there was a commotion in the phalanx, and Li Cheng slapped his horse out, "Zi Gangong!" Gongsun Du is a chaotic minister and thief, and he may be biting indiscriminately when he is dying! Don't get me wrong! ”

"Li Cheng, go back! The old man is hiding from you, and he will definitely ask in front of Liu Yuanjun to spare your life! ”

Lu Zhi waved his hand, Gongsun Zhan glanced at Liu He coldly, and shouted, "Teacher! This matter needs to be considered, and this time Gongsun Du will have such an end, it is all planned by Deran and Xun Liaodong. The students were saved by virtue of the rescue. If Deran really rebelled, could it be that the students also rebelled? And Xun Liaodong also rebelled? ”

"Xun Wenruo has been imprisoned by us and is still being tortured. As for you, naturally not. There was obviously a mystery in this differential treatment, and the voices in the phalanx on Gongsun Zhan's side suddenly became more and more noisy, and Lu Zhi waved his hand backwards, "Everyone, you must not fall for the trick of this erector." You want proof, and I have someone here! ”

As soon as the words fell, two people with bruises were erected out, the two were a young man and a middle-aged man, and they were Zuo Ling and Li Bei.

I heard Lu Zhi pointing at Liu Zheng and saying, "Do you two recognize this person?" Zuo Ling nodded hurriedly: "Yes, this is the person!" That's it! He is Liu Deran! Zuo saw Gongsun Du and him through letters! ”

"Li has also seen it!"

"Who are you two? How dare you slander my lord like this! Zhao Yun was indignant.

Liu He pointed at Zuo Ling and sneered: "He is Sima Zuo Ling, the general under Dong Zhuo's command, Li Dao, and Captain Li!" This other person is Li Bei's nephew Li Bei. You say, is your lord really innocent? ”

Liu He straightened his back and said righteously: "Don't forget, he still has a holy decree in his hand!" Tiger Ben Zhonglang General, what a big name! In the past, he used to use the position of Tiger Ben Zhonglang in front of everyone to deter Ke Bineng, isn't it self-exposed? ”

"Nonsense, nonsense!" Liu Zheng glared angrily at Liu He and shouted: "My Liu family is a relative of the Han family, and I am favored by the emperor, and Liu still has the Zhongxing sword given by the Spirit Emperor on his waist!" How can you be in the same stream with Dong thief! You crossed the river and demolished the bridge and wronged Liu, didn't you want to chill the hearts of loyal ministers and righteous people in the world! ”

"Surrender the sword!"

Lu Zhi shouted, and a soldier took off the sword from Liu Zheng's waist and handed it over, he held the sword and shouted: "Shaft! You also dare to talk about loyal ministers and righteous people! In the past, under Wancheng, Zhu Gong's words are still in his ears, and the blood and tears are known to the world! The old man also thinks that you are already a loyal and righteous man! In the future, I will change my past mistakes and no longer act recklessly! ”

He looked sad, pointed his finger at Liu Zheng and shouted, "I never thought that the old man was blind." In this short period of April, you instigated Wuhuan to march into the army, and bewitched the Yellow Turbans and the loyal ministers of Montenegro to go north, leaving Youzhou devastated, with more than 100,000 dead and wounded. With just this war, Youzhou has been set back by several years! Now that Dong Zhuo is in trouble, Youzhou is the foundation of the Han family of Sima Sanxing, you have this trip, don't you have a ghost in your heart? ”

"Teacher, this is completely a false accusation, the student ...... this time"

"Framed?"

As soon as Liu Zheng spoke, Lu Zhi shook his head and laughed a few times, looking up with a sad and angry expression, "Do you think that the old man doesn't know that you have always been eager for success and profit." In the past, the old man in the court suggested several times to let you enter the court as an official, and Emperor Ling once said that he did not want to use you all his life, which is really a good word! You admit it, this Dong Zhuo's edict has made your heart move, so you colluded with Gongsun Du and these two thieves, right? ”

"Liu and Dong are incompatible!" Liu Zheng gritted his teeth and said, secretly lowered his head and glared at Zuo Ling and Li Bei, and in the dodge of the two of them, he slightly lowered his head and raised his eyes to glare at Lu Zhi.

"Shaft, don't admit your mistake yet! You really want the old man to use the punishment to make you confess! Lu Zhi shouted, "Someone! ”

"Wait!" Gongsun Zhan's voice was almost hoarse again, he frowned and cleared his throat, and shouted, "Teacher! There are doubts about this! Now that the millions of Yellow Turbans in Montenegro have gathered in Youzhou, the students think that they have to properly try this case, and if they use lynching, they are suspected of being beaten into tricks, can they wait for the students and Deran to rescue the Changping Yellow Turban Righteous Soldiers, and then come to ......?"

"If he runs away, you will be responsible! Don't be fooled, Bo Jue! Lu Zhi said annoyedly, and then frowned and shouted: "Changping Yellow Turban Righteous Warrior, you don't care, Liu Yuanjun will be appeased." You go to Ning County first, and when the division comes, let the Xianbei Lord Kebi Neng escape, and the division expects that he will be detained because of the Hou Luohou, and he has the intention of taking advantage of the situation, and you will lead the troops to resist, don't delay the opportunity. As a result, Xianbei invaded, and Youzhou made matters worse. ”

Gongsun Chan wanted to say something, but Lu Zhi shouted, "Go quickly!" That's right, bring the troops of Zidu! This Su Fuyan, I have already persuaded him to surrender, and your white horse Yicong will also go back, as for Zidu, I will settle down, and when you are going south, I will let him see you again. Your family over there, you can rest assured, we have already made arrangements. ”

Gongsun Zhan was silent for a long time, his expression suddenly became solemn, his eyes flashed, and he hugged his fists and said, "Okay!" Then the student is off! also asked the teacher to greet Liu Yuanjun on behalf of the student, I don't know if he is terminally ill? When is it buried? If that day comes, the teacher must send someone to inform me! ”

"Bold!" Liu He shouted angrily, Gongsun Zhan raised his spear and pointed at Liu He, and smiled contemptuously: "How about going alone?" A certain family gives you thirty moves! Or let it go! I'd like to see if you really have the power to deter millions of yellow turbans! ”

"You ......" Liu He's face turned pale, but he didn't dare to step forward.

Gongsun Chan snorted coldly and turned his head, "Zilong, Li Cheng, you two stay, if anyone hurts Deran, you go out of the city and tell me, let's go!" ”

"Wait! Bo Jue, take the trilogy away, and leave the building class behind! ”

Hearing Lu Zhi shouting, Gongsun Zhan, who had already turned the horse's head, did not turn around, tilted his head and glanced at Lu Zhi, then hooked the corners of his mouth, and said coldly: "The teacher will take care of Deran and my brothers, and the students will also take care of the building class." Then he waved his hand, and in the process of Lou Ban crying bitterly and shouting for help to Lu Zhi, he interspersed into the cavalry phalanx.

Soon after, only Li Cheng and Zhao Yun were left in the entire cavalry phalanx, and when the two approached Lu Zhi, Zhang Fei suddenly spoke, "Brother Li, you two should follow me first." ”

Li Cheng didn't speak, glanced at Zhang Fei's hand holding the reins, saw that Zhang Fei didn't make any gestures, his expression cooled slightly, thought about it, and said to Lu Zhijin: "Zi Gangong, Li thinks it's ......"

Lu Zhi couldn't help but say, "Yide, you take Li Cheng and them down to settle down." Yun Chang, you also take this shaft down. Inevitably, the Yellow Turban Army in the city didn't know the details and rioted, so prepare a carriage for him for the time being, so that no one can see it. The old man interrogated himself later. ”

"Teacher, the student is not guilty! Liu Yuanjun crossed the river and demolished the bridge, and the students ......"

Seeing that Liu Zheng was shouting and being escorted into the rear formation, Zuo Ling and Li Bei looked panicked, tilted their heads and looked at the small wooden cage still hanging at the head of the city, their bodies trembled slightly, and they heard Lu Zhi speak: "These two people are still human witnesses, let's keep them first, and when Captain Zou comes back from Liaodong, if there is any evidence of Liu Zheng, it will be decided together with their life and death......" Then he breathed a sigh of relief, endured the pain all over his body, and got into the prisoner car.

Soon after, in a carriage covered by a black cloth and with the doors closed, Liu Zheng was lying in the carriage, crying out bitterly, "Death, death, death...... Shhhh......h My left knee seems to have hit me too, and my whole thigh hurts again......"

On the side, Lu Zhi flipped his trouser leg, "I've said bitter meat tricks for my teacher, aren't you strong in martial arts?" Why didn't you protect yourself? ”

"You just compare your mouth, how can I react, and Yun Chang is really scared to death when he comes to it, and I don't come back to my senses until I fall off the horse. Hiss, pain, pain, pain, is there any medicine? I've run out of medicine, let me ...... slowly."

"No, and I won't let you take medicine this time, maybe you have to stick to it for ten days and a half. Naturally, I will have people visit the prison, and they will bring it, and they will be able to drug you before they are found. In addition, if there is a change in the severity of the injuries during the interrogation once a day, we will also help you move to another place. At this time, you can just stay in prison and use bitter tricks against Zuo Ling and Li Bei. ”

Liu Zheng grinned and turned sideways, "What kind of bitter meat trick...... If it weren't for you and Yun Chang, there would be a thin monkey...... Uh, Huang Tian and Che Huan pretend to be soldiers, change a group of people, I have the heart to kill. ”

Outside the car, Huang Tian coughed lightly, Liu Zheng snorted back, turned his head and said, "What is the situation?" I knew I should have been beaten to death and not admitted. But what is the use of deceiving Zuo Ling and Li Bei? Also, Brother Bo Jue and the eldest prince, or the Yellow Turban Army and the county soldiers, as well as Xianbei and Wuhuan, if they really fall out......"

Lu Zhi patted Liu Zheng's calf, signaling Liu Zheng to be calm and restless, and then laughed, his expression was slightly sharp, "This plan is planned by Liu Zhijun, the eldest prince, Weishi, Xuande, Ji Kuang, Wen Ruo, and the two ladies in your family, do you think there will be some mistakes?" You just have to cooperate with it...... Naturally, it doesn't mean that you will really suffer, you can rest assured, this time you will live a free life in prison. ”

Lu Zhi didn't know what he had in mind, and laughed, "By the way, recuperate from your injuries, and plan for the Liu family." ”

"Uh......" Liu Zheng was stunned, a shadow flashed in his mind, and then he reacted again, "But if my mother knows my ......"

"Except that your mother will know the inside story and pretend to be sick and stay in bed. Another example is Yun Changyide, a few of them need to respond, and the others don't know anything. This time, it is true, we will wait for the overall situation, wait for Dong Zhuo, and even all the traitors in the world to enter the urn! ”

"Dong Zhuo? All traitors in the world? Liu Zheng raised his eyebrows in surprise, stepped forward suddenly, touched the wound and lay back wailing, and said curiously with a bitter face: "What is the specific?" Tell me about it? ”
