Huangfu Song said suspiciously: "There is Zhang Rang's handwritten letter here, forgive him and have nothing to refute, Zhang Rang and others have ironclad evidence of collaborating with the enemy, even if the emperor favors them this time, he can't let them be exempted again." ”

"General Huangfu, above the court, you must not show this letter, even if this letter is written by Zhang Rang himself, Zhang Rang will categorically deny it and falsely accuse others of forging it. In addition, this letter is only a lone evidence, and there is no other evidence to support it, if the emperor listens to Zhang Rang's words, won't the general be passive, and if Zhang Rang is biting back, the general will be at a loss. Liu Ze understood where the joint was, and tried his best to persuade Huangfu Song.

Huangfu Song also calmed down, thinking about Liu Ze's words quite reasonable, and sighed: "What Runde said is good, but it is just a loss of an opportunity to bring down the eunuch party in vain, which is embarrassing." ”

Liu Ze said: "This letter to General Huangfu does not require the general to use it as soon as he arrives in the capital, if the situation is deadlocked, he might as well take out these letters privately to blackmail Zhang Rang, presumably he will definitely throw a mouse trap and rescue Lu Gong's hope is greatly increased." This trip to the capital, I hope that the general will focus on rescuing Lu Gong, don't be rash, the ten permanent servants have deep roots, and it is not easy to bring down them. ”

Huangfu Song nodded yes, and said: "This time to go to the capital to report on work, at least ten days and a half months, more than one month will be able to return, the new Yuzhou Assassin Wang Yun will temporarily take my place, Runde, you can cast his account, level the remnants of the yellow scarf in Yuzhou, and wait for me to come back, and then make plans." ”

Liu Zegong said: "No." ”

In the next two days, Huangfu Song and Wang Yun, the assassin of Yuzhou, completed the handover and went to Beijing. After Wang Yun took over the military and political affairs of Yuzhou, he began to clean up the remnants of the Yellow Turban forces in the counties and states of Yuzhou, and the school captain Cao Cao and the cavalry captain Liu Ze sent troops to fight under his command. After the death of Bocai Pengtuo, the Yellow Turban group in Yuzhou was leaderless, most of the main forces were annihilated in the battle of Changshe, Chen County, and Xihua, and the remaining scattered Yellow Turban forces were not enough to trouble, Wang Yun was like the autumn wind sweeping the leaves, and everywhere he went, the Yellow Turban was fleeing when he heard the wind. Except for a part of the Yellow Turbans who fled to Nanyang County of Jingzhou and Yanzhou East County, most of the Yellow Turban soldiers disappeared, or hid in the mountains or fled to the countryside. Most of these yellow turban soldiers are farmers in this state, familiar with the terrain, these people as long as they tear off the yellow scarves on their heads, throw away the weapons in their hands, they are no different from the common people, although the yellow turban soldiers in Yuzhou are known as hundreds of thousands, but as soon as Bocai died, the rest were scattered, so within a month, there was no trace of the yellow turbans in Yuzhou.

But Liu Ze understands that these yellow scarves have not been destroyed, and when the time is ripe, they will definitely rise again. Now although the court has relied on violent means to suppress them, if these ordinary people still have no way to live, sooner or later they will have to wrap a yellow scarf on their heads to rebel, and the taste of starving to death will definitely be uncomfortable.

Later, there was basically nothing to do on the land of Yuzhou, and Liu Ze's mind had already been cast to Luoyang, the capital city in the north. But there was no news over there, the weather was getting colder, it was already golden autumn and September, and Huangfu Song still didn't return it, which made Liu Ze worried, if it weren't for the fact that he had an official position and couldn't leave his post without permission, Liu Ze really had the heart to go back to the capital to see.

Thinking of this section, Liu Ze misses those business days very much, although it is hard to run, but it is free to come and go, without restraint, if you want to go there, you can leave, you don't need to look at anyone's face at all.

The battle situation in Nanyang was tragic, after the death of Zhang Mancheng, Zhao Hong served as the commander of Nanyang Qu, gathered more than 100,000 people, and the momentum was huge, Zhu Jun and Qin Jie joined forces together, and repeatedly attacked Wancheng, but failed to succeed. Under the command of Qu Shuai Buji, the Yellow Turbans of Yanzhou successively captured Jiyin and Dongjun, and the thieves were prosperous, and Zheng Tai, the assassin of Yanzhou, was powerless to resist at all.

On the Hebei side, there are frequent good news, and Dong Zhuo has won big victories one after another, which seems to have the intention of directly taking Guangzong.

Zou Jing and Liu Bei led 5,000 troops to relieve the danger of Linzi and repelled the Yellow Turban, the Yellow Turban Qu Shuai was killed, and the rest were scattered. Zou Jing has returned to Youzhou to resume his life, although Liu Bei has stayed in Qingzhou for a few months, but Gongsun Zhan's side has a tight battle with the Wuhuan people, so he is requisitioned back. Gong Jing pleaded again and again, and Tian Kai stayed and became the captain of Qingzhou.

This news made Liu Ze really depressed, but Liu Bei still returned to Gongsun Zhan's side, making his plan to stand on his own feet in Qingzhou seem to be in vain again.

It was not until mid-September that Pan Feng rushed back to Yuzhou and brought back the news of the capital, which made Liu Ze's hanging heart put in his stomach.

It turned out that Pan Feng took the lead in rushing to the capital, and the forbidden army team escorting Lu Zhi was blocked in Hanoi County because of the Yellow River and could not arrive in the capital for a long time, after Jian Yong and Jia Xu received Liu Ze's instructions, they naturally spared no effort to make points up and down, in addition to not being able to directly spend money to atone for Lu Zhi's crimes, all the relationships that could be used were used, and all the money that could be spent was spent, and even the head of the prison was taken care of.

A few days later, when Lu Zhi was trapped on the north bank of the Yellow River and could not pass, Huangfu Song returned to the capital first, and before he entered the court, he first contacted Situ Zhang Wen, Shangshu Huang Wan, Guanglu Doctor Yang Ci, and advised the doctor Ma Riyan, Taiwei Han said, and a group of important court ministers such as Yang Biao discussed how to clear Lu Zhi's name.

The next day, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was happy, and Huangfu Song pacified Yuzhou, which can be said to be a great contribution, and he was crowned as the general of Zuo. After that, Huangfu Song went to the court to invite the emperor, saying that Lu Zhi was not at fault, but it was actually the Huangmen squire Zuo Feng who asked for bribes and failed to take revenge, and asked the emperor to investigate.

The ministers above the court were immediately divided into three factions, and dozens of people such as Zhang Wen and Huang Wan, who were good friends with Lu Zhi, also seconded Lu Zhi's innocence, and the faction headed by the general He Jin had nothing to do with it and was noncommittal, while the faction headed by Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong strongly demanded that Lu Zhi be punished.

Zhang Rang and others insisted that since Lu Zhi led the troops, he has not made an inch of success, wasted military rations, feared the war at a high base, and lazy the morale of the army, causing the Yellow Turban to sit on a large scale, and if he is not severely punished, how can he rectify the morale of the army.

Huangfu Song insisted that Lu Zhi was not guilty, Lu Zhi defeated Zhang Jiao with an army of 500,000 with less than 50,000 troops, and besieged Zhang Jiao in Guangzong City. As for the lack of merit, it is even more nonsense, Lu Zhi found the traces of the puppet general Zhang Liang, and sent his subordinate Sima Liu Ze to track down to Yanzhou, obtained his head, and has now been dedicated to the palace. Zhang Rang and others failed to do anything in Jizhou, causing the yellow scarves to run rampant in Jizhou.

At the moment of the dispute between the two sides, Hebei's "good news" was frequently reported, and Dong Zhuo had repeatedly broken the yellow scarf and beheaded more than 10,000 people since he led the army, and all the heads were handed over to Luoyang. This Zhang makes them seem to be more reasonable, they are also the soldiers who command Hebei, Lu Zhi returned without merit and Dong Zhuo has repeatedly performed miraculous feats, and the superiority is immediately distinguishable, if Lu Zhi does not ambush the crime, it seems that heaven is intolerable.

The various factions were in a dispute, and Emperor Han Ling was also in a dilemma, and this matter dragged on for nearly a month. The floodwaters of the Yellow River subsided, and Lu Zhi was escorted to the capital by the forbidden army. As a result, the disputes between the various factions became even more intense, and dozens of officials of more than 2,000 stone among the 100 officials in the court jointly played a joint performance to ensure Lu Zhi's innocence. Zhang Rang and others also refused to give up, clamoring in the ears of Emperor Ling every day, bent on curing Lu Zhi's crimes. Emperor Ling had no choice but to order Lu Zhi to be imprisoned in the heavenly prison first, waiting for the court's verdict.

In the end, Huangfu Song had to come forward to see Zhang Rang in person, and handed one of the letters to Zhang Rang, saying: "This time he killed the pseudo-general Zhang Liang, and confiscated a batch of letters, which seem to be forged by the Yellow Turban thieves, in an attempt to separate the members of the court, several of which are related to Zhang Zhongchang, and the official does not believe it, so he will give it to Zhang Zhongchang to read." ”

Zhang Rang looked at the letters, the sweat on his face came down, and he hurriedly said: "These yellow turban thieves are really hateful, they actually forged these letters in an attempt to spread rumors and slander, but fortunately, General Huangfu saw that these thieves did not succeed." ”

Huangfu Song laughed and said: "Of course I believe in Zhang Zhongchang, with Zhang Zhongchang's status and status, why do you need to make friends with these bandits, but if you are looked at by those speakers, you will definitely chase the wind and find the roots, if it reaches the ears of the emperor, it will be very unfavorable to Zhang Zhongchang." Feng Xu lost his head because of the yellow scarf, and the emperor was ruthless in dealing with the chaotic party. ”
