"The lord is here, and the last general will toast you!" Zhang Chun raised the wine cup and raised his glass to Zhang Ju.

"Good! We did it! Zhang Ju, who was ruddy, drank the wine in his hand in one go, and then quickly poured his own wine cup full of wine.

Zhang Ju saw Zhang Chun's honest face, and said with some emotion: "Zhang Chun, do you remember those things when we were children in Zhangjia Village?" ”

Zhang Chun put down the wine cup and said with a smile: "Isn't the lord shouting the end of the future to drink?" Why did you suddenly ask about this? ”

"Don't be like this, there is only brotherhood between the two of us tonight, and there is no master-slave difference." Zhang Ju waved his hand and said.

"Okay, since the eldest brother said so, I, Zhang Chun, have no choice but to obey my fate." Zhang Chun was a little moved, "When my eldest brother was a child, his parents were forced to die by the big family like me, and he lived with each other in the village for more than ten years. During this time, we barely survived by stealing chickens and dogs, and I, Zhang Chun, vowed at that time to overthrow this dark Han Dynasty, and to assist my eldest brother who nurtured me, you to become the emperor of the world! ”

"Hehehe, second brother, although your eldest brother and I have read a little book. But I still have self-knowledge, and I'm not that material at all as an emperor. Don't say anything else, just say that the five original Lu Bu, he is ten times better than me, no, a hundred times more. How big is the world? Is it not just Lu Bu, a hero? I think it would be better for us to pack up our gold and money and go to a remote village to be a rich man, than to be here and be afraid that someone will come to take your head. Zhang Ju had enough of this kind of fear, and he wanted to persuade Zhang Chun, a good brother, to join him in the village where he was free from the world.

Zhang Chun thought about it again and again and said: "Big brother, have you ever thought that we are traitors to the Han Dynasty now, once we give up the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in our hands, we can only wait to be killed if something happens in the future." ”

Zhang Ju smiled: "Do you really think that these people under our command are of any use? I think that in addition to attracting the encirclement and suppression of the imperial court for us, these rabble can only consume our money and food. In addition, they cannot take the world for us, and they cannot ensure our glory when they retreat. What do you think we're doing with these people? ”

Zhang Chun thought about it and felt that what Zhang Ju said was right, he sat upright and asked seriously: "Is the eldest brother really ready to give up this army of tens of thousands of people and become a rich man?" ”

Zhang Ju nodded firmly and said, "I have made up my mind, I am ready to pack up immediately, bring some gold and silver, and leave the camp tonight by night." If you are willing to follow me, then you will go with me. If you still want to command these tens of thousands of troops, then I will hand over this command talisman to you, and you will be the commander of these tens of thousands of troops from now on. How is it? ”

Zhang Chun said with a smile: "Big brother said that I laughed, I, Zhang Chun, was originally a rough person, and my wish in this life is just to follow the eldest brother." Since the eldest brother is determined to go to the seclusion world and become a rich man, how can I stay here alone? Let me Zhang Chun accompany my eldest brother, so that we can take care of each other. ”

Zhang Ju was overjoyed, he stepped forward and took Zhang Chun's hand and said: "I have a brother like you, it is really a blessing from several generations of cultivation, now we will start to pack up our things, and we will leave the back camp at the third watch at night, and the scouts and camp posts there have been secretly transferred." ”

After Zhang Chun promised, he began to accompany Zhang Ju to clean up the gold and silver.

Around three watches at night, Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun took a few bags of carefully selected things and led two war horses to the rear camp cautiously, fortunately, because of Zhang Ju's order in the morning, the sentry post of the rear camp and the food outside the door were all transferred, and Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun left the camp smoothly.

After Zhang Ju left the gate of the camp, he finally glanced back at the camp that fell silent behind him, and then took his brother Zhang Chuntou and climbed to the mountain next to the camp without looking back.

Not long after Zhang Ju left, a black torrent split into four and shouted towards the unsuspecting rebel camp. This was Lu Bu leading the army after several hours of rapid marching, and then attacked Zhang Ju's rebel camp.

After Zhang Ju's subordinates were attacked by Lu Bu's army, they immediately rushed to Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun's big tent to ask them about countermeasures, but to their surprise, their commander Zhang Ju and general Zhang Chun's big tent were empty, and they only found a letter left by Zhang Ju to them in Zhang Ju's account. One of the generals rudely tore open the cloth wrapped in the letter, hurriedly read a few words, and then shouted: "Zhang Ju has already left our tens of thousands of troops and ran away by himself with Zhang Chun and some gold and silver!" This coward! Traitor! ”

"What? The lord and General Zhang Chun have already run away? The generals next to him all asked incredulously.

"How is this good, now that Anbei general Lu Bu has surrounded us from all sides, what should we do."

"Damn! If we don't give us a way to live, we just fight with that Lu Bu! ”

"Don't make any noise! Now that Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun have abandoned us, why do we have to work for this kind of person? We simply surrendered to Lu Bu, it was better than being beheaded and made into Jingguan after the final defeat. A general with some prestige among the generals shouted.

"Good! Just listen to what General Chen said and surrender to Lu Bu. In the end, the generals unanimously agreed to the proposal to surrender, so Lü Bujun found that all the rebels he encountered later had surrendered on their knees after a short period of killing. After asking Lü Bu for instructions, the army began to accept the surrender of these rebels, and the nearly year-long Zhang Ju rebellion was put down. In this battle, except for the thief Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun, who Lu Bu was about to capture, and the two of them escaped luckily, all the rest of the rebels and dozens of rebel generals were either dead or surrendered, and none of them escaped. After Lü Bu beheaded some of the most vicious and vicious people in the rebel army afterwards, all the rest were escorted back to Jixian County, and Lü Bu was ready to escort all of them back to Jizhou to serve as free labor.

"Lord, are we going to go back tomorrow?" Gao Shun, the second commander of the night attack on Zhang Ju's camp, and a group of other generals happily gathered in Lu Bu's big tent, because they had already received the news that Lu Bu was preparing to return to the state.

Lu Bu smiled and said, "Yes, I have already prepared to return to the state in the next few days." But I'm still waiting for news, and I have to wait for this news to come before I can go back to Bingzhou with peace of mind. ”

"What news is the lord waiting for?" Huang Zhong asked with some curiosity.

Lu Bu just wanted to answer, but an urgent report came from outside the tent: "Report!" Liu Yu, the assassin of Youzhou in Jixian County, suddenly died of illness at some point last night, and it is said that Liu Yu's was highly poisoned in the body tonic medicine! The murderer seems to be his new housekeeper Wang San. ”

"Hahahaha, the generals will listen to the order, and today we will rectify the materials and we will return to the state!" Lu Bu issued a military order with a smug face, obviously Liu Yu's death had a lot to do with him.

In January of the sixth year of Zhongping, 189 A.D. After a long and long 'bitter battle', the more than 100,000 conquest army led by Lu Bu finally put down the Zhang Ju rebellion in Youzhou, and began to prepare the food and grass of the class division in the same month. In addition, at the same time as Lu Bu's class, Liu Yu, the Taishou of Youzhou, was poisoned and died in his own assassin's mansion. Lu Bu went to the imperial court and played Youzhou Yong General Gongsun Zan as the Youzhou assassin and led the Youzhou military.
