Chapter 44 Lu Zhi was wronged and relieved of danger domineeringly
Jizhou, Anping County, outside Guangzong City, the Han military camp stretched for dozens of miles. Zhang Niujiao, who looked at the scene in front of him at the head of Guangzong City, couldn't help but sigh, now the army is surrounded by Lu Zhi and Huangfu Song in this Guangzong City, and it is difficult to perform, and General Tiangong's body is getting weaker and weaker. Thinking of this, Zhang Niujiao can't help but feel a little emotional, the power that has just swept through several states is so bleak compared to now.
"Father-in-law doesn't have to worry, it has been some time since Zuo Feng returned to Luoyang. The Ten Standing Servants were already at odds with these officials, but now that they have accepted generous gifts from us, they will definitely impeach Lu Zhi in front of Emperor Ling. What's more, General Rengong has already fought on the periphery of the Han army, and the Han army will not dare to attack the city with all its might. If you wait until the arrival of the Digong general, then it will be the day of the defeat of these Han troops outside the city. Zhang Yan looked at Zhang Niujiao with a desolate expression, and then opened his mouth to persuade.
"Yan'er, these fathers know this. But General Tiangong has been ill for a long time, and his body is getting weaker day by day, and I am worried about this. If there is any accident on the part of General Tiangong, those gathered righteous troops will be scattered in an instant. Moreover, I have heard that Sun Ling, the hussar general of Yuzhou, has swept through the entire territory of Yuzhou, and if he leads the army to come, we will probably be in danger. ”
Zhang Yan's real name is Zhu Yan, and when he led the people into the army during the uprising, he was valued by Zhang Niujiao and accepted as a righteous son, and changed his name to Zhang Yan. After several wars, Zhang Yan has changed from a young boy to a qualified general, and Zhang Niujiao is very satisfied with this righteous son.
"Hmph, everyone in the world calls that Sun Ling brave and unparalleled, so I don't believe it. He will meet on the battlefield on the other day, and see that I will not take his head. When Zhang Yan heard about Sun Ling, she was very unconvinced, and snorted.
"Don't underestimate others, I know you have some courage. But then Sun Ling can take the life of Bocai in the army, how can he be a nominal person?" Zhang Niujiao saw that Zhang Yan's young man's temper was committed again, and he woke up on the side.
However, although Zhang Yan no longer spoke, he was still not convinced by Sun Ling, thinking that he would come forward to meet him when he met on the battlefield. Looking at Zhang Yan's performance, Zhang Niujiao wanted to say something more so that he would not suffer losses in the future, but he was afraid of hitting his confidence, so he sighed and stopped talking.
It's not just the two people in the city who are talking about Sun Ling, but the Han military camp is also discussing Sun Ling's matter at this time.
"There is news from Yuzhou that the hussar general has wiped out the Yellow Turban rebellion in Yuzhou, and now he has led the army on the way to Guangzong. We must be prepared to wait for the arrival of the hussar general's army, and then take Gwangjong City with a thunderous force! Huangfu Song was happy at this time, and said to Lu Zhi, Zhu Jun, Cao Ying and other generals led below.
The generals below heard Huangfu Song say that Sun Ling was already on the way to Guangzong City, and they were all celebrating with their crowns. Cao Ying looked at everyone's happy mood, and his face, which was already black enough, was even more black. If Sun Ling comes, will he directly ask his soldiers and horses to leave? If he wanted to, he didn't have the ability to refuse, after all, now he was under the title of hussar general to control all the big men outside the army.
"Meng De doesn't seem to be very happy, why is that?" Lu Zhi on the side saw that Cao Ying's gloomy face was not as happy as the generals, so he asked.
"Why, the hussar general wants to bring troops to help me break through the Guangzong City. Naturally, he was overjoyed, but he was a little unwell recently, and he was worried about the old General Laolu. Seeing Lu Zhi's question, Cao Ying hurriedly squeezed out a reluctant smile and said embarrassedly.
"Then Meng De has to take care of himself, the old man heard that Meng De and Wenda were also friends when they were in Luoyang. The Venda leader is here, you have to have a good exchange, hahaha. For Sun Ling, Lu Zhi has always had a loving heart. Now that he has been named a hussar general, and he has made great achievements, thinking of this, Lu Zhi is naturally happy for him.
Have a good communication with that Sun Ling? I still make friends, I just beg him not to ask me for those elite soldiers when he comes, and I will be satisfied, Lu Zhi's words made Cao Ying secretly discuss in his heart.
"Report, Your Majesty's envoy has arrived." When everyone was immersed in Sun Ling's imminent arrival and fantasized about the dream of breaking the day of Guangzong City, a Han soldier came in from outside the tent and said to everyone.
"The generals don't think about it, but the traitor Zhang Jiao is drinking and having fun here, and our family has to explain this matter to Your Majesty." A eunuch in a eunuch uniform pinched the and duck throat, followed the Han soldiers who came in first with a group of small yellow doors behind him, and walked into the tent and said to the generals.
Seeing this eunuch, Huangfu Song's face suddenly turned cold, and all the generals in the tent also quieted down, looking at this person, his eyes were full of unkindness.
"Zuo Feng, what are you doing here? We're talking about what we should do before the hussar general comes, and you say we're drinking and having fun? And you can see clearly that there is wine in this tent, and don't slander me and so on! Huangfu Song said sharply to Zuo Feng.
At this time, Huangfu Song secretly thought to himself why this guy came here. Zuo Feng also came last time, but because Lu Zhi was confronting Zhang Jiao at that time, he thought that Lu Zhi was passive and had a very unpleasant quarrel with them, so he had a secret hatred for all the generals in this person's account.
"That's because our family misunderstood the generals, our family didn't come to supervise the army this time, but came to arrest Lu Zhi at the behest of His Majesty and return to Luoyang to obey His Majesty's fate." This is Huangfu Song's territory, although Zuo Feng hated in his heart, he didn't dare to be too presumptuous, just pointed at Lu Zhi and said to everyone.
After Zuo Feng finished speaking, all the generals in the tent were in an uproar. Your Majesty wants to arrest Lu Zhi and return to Luoyang? Lu Zhi led the army to fight after the Yellow Turban Storm, and even forced Zhang Jiao to retreat to this Guangzong, which can be said to be meritorious, how could His Majesty send someone to arrest him?
Huangfu Song came to Zuo Feng, unsheathed his sword, and pointed at Zuo Feng with a murderous sword in one hand and said: "You eunuch dare to say nothing, I will kill you here today, and I will be Your Majesty when I go back in the future." ”
Looking at the cold sword blade in front of him, Zuo Feng trembled with fright, and hurriedly handed the holy decree in his hand to Huangfu Song. "This is Your Majesty's will, if the general does not believe it, he can check it for himself."
Taking the holy decree in Zuo Feng's hand, Huangfu Song opened it and took a look. Seeing that it was indeed Emperor Ling's will, he ordered Lu Zhi to be arrested and returned to Luoyang. The reason turned out to be because Emperor Ling thought that the confrontation between Lu Zhi and Zhang Jiao was a passive slack.
"It must be you, a eunuch, who slandered Zi in front of His Majesty, otherwise how could Your Majesty be so wrong. If you want to take someone away, that's delusional! Seeing that this was indeed the case, Huangfu Song suddenly thought that the culprit was Zuo Feng in front of him, endured the killing intent in his heart, put away the sword in his hand and scolded him.
"General Huangfu should not wronged our family, this is what Your Majesty meant. If the general doesn't let me take Lu Zhi back today, it will be disobedient to His Majesty's intention to rebel. Seeing that Huangfu Song withdrew his sword, Zuo Feng naturally knew that the will had an effect, and threw out the charge of rebellion.
"You ......" When the generals in the tent saw Zuo Feng say this, they were all angry, and they stepped forward to teach Zuo Feng a lesson.
"Brother Yizhen, don't be like this, generals, the king's order cannot be violated. Lu Zhi is frank, how can he be afraid of those villains? I believe that Your Majesty will find out about this matter and give me justice. Seeing that the generals were angry, Lu Zhi walked out and said to Huangfu Song and everyone.
"Hehe, what General Lu Zhi said is very true, Your Majesty will naturally deal with it impartially, then please ask the general to go with us." Zuo Feng saw Lu Zhi come forward and said gloomily.
In our hands, do you still think that Your Majesty can give you justice? When the time comes, the new and old grudges will be settled with you, and you will be in a dilemma of life and death. Looking at Lu Zhi, Zuo Feng gritted his teeth and said secretly.
"General Lu Zhi can't do this!" Seeing that Lu Zhi was willing to return to Luoyang with Zuo Feng, the generals spoke out to dissuade him. Huangfu Song's face was gloomy on the side, and he was helpless about Emperor Ling's will.
"Please, General Lu Zhi." Zuo Feng smiled at Lu Zhi, and then walked out of the tent first.
Seeing that Lu Zhi followed Zuo Feng out, all the generals who remained in the tent were dejected and stopped talking. Seeing this scene, Huangfu Song kicked the table in front of him, and said to everyone with red eyes: "Follow me to send the son." After saying that, he led the generals and walked outside.
Outside the camp, Huangfu Song saw Zuo Feng escorting Lu Zhi into a prisoner car. stepped forward and grabbed Zuo Feng's collar and yelled at him: "Eunuch dares, Zigan is an important minister in the court, how dare you treat him like this?" ”
"Brother Yizhen, don't be like this. I am guilty of sin, and when I arrive in Luoyang, I believe that His Majesty will give me justice, and the affairs in the army will depend on Brother Yizhen to maintain. Lu Zhi saw that Huangfu Song was emotional, afraid that he would offend Zuo Feng ruthlessly, so he said comfortingly.
After Lu Zhi finished speaking, Huangfu Song calmed down and let Zuo Feng go. Looking at the direction of Guangzong City, he sighed and said, "Zigan must take care, I will definitely show Your Majesty justice to you." ”
"Our family has thanked General Huangfu for his hospitality, let's go!" Seeing that Huangfu Song was persuaded by Lu Zhi to stay, Zuo Feng commanded the escort convoy and was about to leave.
Suddenly, a figure on a white horse galloped towards the convoy from a distance, and the escort soldiers hurriedly stopped and lined up to meet the enemy.
The spear in his hand swept away, and a spear flew out, destroying the prisoner car where Lu Zhi was being held. Sun Ling came to the prisoner cart and nodded at Lu Zhi, who was full of shock, and the soldiers in the array burst out: "I am Sun Ling, the hussar general, who dares to take the old general today?" You asked me about the spear in my hand, yes?! After speaking, the white dragon horse hissed, and the person stood up, and Sun Ling, who was holding the spear obliquely, was even more domineering.
Quiescence...... Who is Sun Ling? This is probably known to passers-by in the Eastern Han Dynasty. And because of the fight with the Yellow Turban, Sun Ling's murderous aura was already extremely strong, and now the sudden burst of power was naturally terrifying and abnormal, and all the soldiers of the Han army were intimidated by Sun Ling, who suddenly killed him.
Whew, I'm glad I caught up. Looking at the silence around him, as well as Lu Zhi, who was already stunned behind him, Sun Ling let out a long sigh of relief.
As early as when entering Jizhou, the Badao Battalion Tanma came to report that there was a convoy escorted by the imperial court and went to Guangzong City. Sun Ling remembered Lu Zhi, and knew that this was the convoy to escort Lu Zhi, so he let the troops continue to hurry, and he hurried towards Guangzong City first. For Lu Zhi, since Sun Ling felt the love of him and Cai Yong, he regarded him as his elder in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and Sun Ling naturally cared about his affairs, so this is the scene in front of him.
"Venda, don't make a mistake! They are men sent by His Majesty. Only then did Lu Zhi come back to his senses from the shock, remembered Sun Ling's behavior, and hurriedly persuaded him.
"Old Lu and rest assured, I have my own measure in this matter. Your Majesty ordered me to restrain the soldiers and horses outside, and now that Lu Lao has been framed by traitors, it is my duty to come forward to stop it, and Your Majesty will not blame me. Besides, I regard Lu Lao as a relative, how could I let you be so wronged?!" Knowing that Lu Zhi was worried about himself, Sun Ling said slowly.
Since Sun Ling knew the consequences of this matter and knew how to solve it, Lu Zhi naturally didn't want to say anything. Hearing him say that he regarded himself as a relative, Lu Zhi was warm, and his eyes were filled with tears of joy. Today's Sun Ling is no longer the cloth scholar he met in the restaurant, he is a hussar general and has great achievements, but he is as good as in the past, of course he is excited.
"Zuo Feng, you go back to me and tell Your Majesty the truth, if you are lucky to think that Zhang Changshou and others will protect you, he will return to Luoyang one day and you will die. If I want to kill you, no one can stop me! If you understand, go back. Sun Ling rode his horse and came to Zuo Feng, who looked terrified, and said.
At this time, Zuo Feng had already been frightened by Sun Ling's appearance, and after listening to his words, he was even more cold in a cold sweat, where did he dare to disobey him. Besides, if the Ten Standing Attendants knew that they had offended Sun Ling and didn't need him to do anything, they would definitely slaughter themselves with their own hands. Who in the inner servants now doesn't know the importance of Sun Ling in the heart of Emperor Ling? Thinking of this, Zuo Feng was even more scared in his heart.
"The general forgives me, let's go back to show Your Majesty that I am blind this time, and I blame General Lu Zhi for being wrong, I have no eyes, so I'll get out of ...... Get out! After speaking, Zuo Feng hurriedly took those dumbfounded soldiers towards Luoyang.
Watching Zuo Feng leave in a hurry with the convoy, Sun Ling put away his face and smiled kindly at Huangfu Song, who was stunned by the scene in front of him, and the generals: "You have to greet the generals......
