Chapter 240: Lu Zhi is not confused
Jizhou Mu Lu Zhi is a person with outstanding ability and legendary experience. The reason why I say this has a lot to do with the ups and downs of his life.
Lu Zhi Zigan, a native of Zhuo County, Youzhou, is an authentic fellow villager with Da Er Liu, and he can also be regarded as a fellow villager in Youzhou with Gongsun Zhan. He was a famous scholar in the world, and he was the same brother as the famous Confucian Zheng Xuan, and there were many children under him; He is another generation of famous generals, as famous as Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, and once served as an official to the monk of Beizhong Lang.
After Lu Zhi's death, his family later became one of the four famous families in ancient China. After the Three Kingdoms, Zhuo County was renamed "Fan Yang", so Zhuo County Lu was called "Fan Yang Lu Family" by the world. For more than 1,800 years after Lu Zhi, the Fan Yang Lu family produced talents from generation to generation. From the Wei and Jin dynasties to the Tang Dynasty alone, there are more than 800 people named Lu recorded in the official history. Among them, there are more than 100 people such as the prime minister, Shangshu, Thorn History, Taishou, and County Shou. Lu Kun, the governor of Liangguang and a native of Zhuozhou during the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty, is a descendant of Lu Zhi. Among the overseas Roh clansmen, there are two presidents of South Korea, Roh Tae-woo and Roh Moo-hyun.
In the Three Kingdoms era, there were many heroes and heroes, but they could leave a far-reaching influence on the future generations of the family like Lu Zhi, but the two brothers Zheng Tai and Zheng Hun in Xingyang, as for other characters such as Wang Yun, Cui Yan, and Cui Zhouping, who were not the ancestors of the prosperous clan, but just inherited the fame of their ancestors.
If it weren't for Liu He's intervention, then Lu Zhi at this time would have been buried in the ground with a handful of loess, and there would be no infinite scenery of today's comeback.
During the coup d'état in Luoyang, He Jin was killed, and Dong Zhuo entered Beijing to control the government. Dong Zhuo wanted to depose the young emperor Liu Wei and support Liu Xie, the king of Chen Liu, as the emperor, so he summoned hundreds of civil and military officials to discuss, and no one in the court dared to speak, only Lu Zhi stood up alone and spoke out against it. Dong Zhuo was furious. ordered Lu Zhi to be executed, and Cai Yong, a bachelor who was forcibly recruited by Dong Zhuo, interceded for Lu Zhi, and Lang Peng Bo also hurriedly came out to dissuade Dong Zhuo and said: "Lu Shangshu is a great Confucian in the sea, the hope of scholars!" If you kill him now, everyone in the world will be shocked and disappointed. Dong Zhuo gave up and only dismissed Lu Zhi.
Judging from Lu Zhi's incident, the university scholar Cai Yong is really a good person, and Liu He really deserves to save him.
Lu Zhi offended Dong Zhuo fiercely, knowing that the land of Luoyang could not stay for a long time, so he used old age and physical discomfort as an excuse. Request to return to his hometown of Zhuo County. After Dong Zhuo's approval, Lu Zhi hurriedly left Luoyang by small road, but Dong Zhuo really sent people to chase and kill along the road, Lu Zhi didn't even dare to go back to his hometown Zhuo County, and went into the mountains of Youzhou Military Capital, and never asked about the world, until Yuan Shao recruited him as a military advisor.
Because of Liu He's "strong insertion", Yuan Shao did not take Jizhou and Youzhou, and Lu Zhi was not poached by other forces. Liu He persuaded his father Liu Yu to let go of his mustard against Lu Zhi. Finally invited Lu Zhi out of the mountain, first persuaded Gongsun Zan outside Anci City, and then served as the Taishou of Yuyang County, and then succeeded Han Fu as the pastor of Jizhou.
Lu Zhi when he left Luoyang. The official position is a scholar, and although the power is not small, it is still several streets behind the state pastor who holds the military and political power of a state. Now Dong Zhuo is dead. The world fell apart, and Lu Zhi, who was both civil and military, naturally had a feeling of a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, so since he came to Jizhou. That is extraordinarily diligent in political affairs and military affairs, and the two guys Gongsun Chan and Yuan Shao are depressed.
For Gongsun Zhan, Lu Zhi is an insurmountable mountain in front of him, Lu Zhi's fame, status, and ability are beyond his reach.
Later, Yuan Shao sent an envoy to secretly connect with Gongsun Zhan, although Gongsun Zhan agreed to Liu Yu's proposal to partner with Liu Yu, but he still did not dare to blatantly lead the army from Jizhou to Youzhou, but took a lot of effort to let Gongsun Du send a troop transport fleet to send his 30,000 troops directly to Yongnu by sea. Later, after Gongsun Zhan sent troops to occupy Zhuo County, he immediately sent troops to guard Lu Zhi's hometown Zhuo County, and did not dare to have any disrespectful behavior in the city.
It can be said that if it weren't for Lu Zhi in Jizhou, then Gongsun Zhan might not have been able to be besieged by Liu He near Dai County this time.
The reason is very simple, if Han Fu is still in Jizhou, then Gongsun Zhan must have sent troops from Bohai County and Zhongshan Kingdom to Zhuo County this time, instead of taking a detour by sea, so that he can mobilize more troops from Jizhou to ensure the safety of the rear grain route, and there is no need to disperse 10,000 troops from 30,000 troops to garrison Zhuoxian, Danguo and Wuruanguan and other places.
Liu He's original suggestion that his father promote Lu Zhi to be the pastor of Jizhou was too insidious and vicious......
When the news of the siege of Youzhou by the Third Route Army reached Gaoyi, Lu Zhi's first reaction was to immediately send Xian Yufu to lead 10,000 elite soldiers from Ghoutao City into the Guanjin area of Anping State and adjacent to Bohai County, warning the Gongsun Zan army stationed in Nanpi not to go north for reinforcements.
Although Gongsun Chan had been his student at the beginning, Lu Zhi would never hesitate in the face of major rights and wrongs. When he taught Gongsun Zhan, he taught all the knowledge that was applied to the world, but he did not teach him how to dig the corners of the Han Dynasty and how to be a warlord. Lu Zhi has lived in the temple for a long time, and he will not believe the sewage that Yuan Shao and others splashed on the heads of Liu Yu's father and son, but he is very disgusted with the methods that these guys use to the extreme.
While Lu Zhi sent troops to contain Bohai County, he also actively reorganized his armaments and strictly guarded against Yuan Shao in southern Jizhou.
Don't look at the weak troops in Jizhou, but Lu Zhi still has two strategists and fierce generals Tai Shici for him to call, and there are also Changshan Xiangsun Jin, Julu Taishou Li Min and other hard bones who follow him with all their hearts, so Yuan Shao, who is strong and strong, will really have nothing to do with Lu Zhi for a while.
Although more than two years have passed since a defeat in Gaoyi City, the lesson left by Yuan Shao is very profound, and he does not want to suffer the same defeat again without sufficient certainty.
When he learned that Liu He led a mixed team of 10,000 infantry cavalry to approach Yanzhou, he hurriedly sent his generals Lu Yi and Zhang Xu and others to guard Liyang, Yin'an, Shating and other places on the north bank of the Yellow River, ready to ambush Liu He at any time.
Strategist Tian Feng reminded Yuan Shao that the reason why Han Fu was able to turn over was because Zhang Yan of the Montenegrin Army led his troops to make trouble at a critical juncture, so this time he wanted to avoid similar things from happening again.
Yuan Shao asked Tian Feng about specific countermeasures, and Tian Feng reminded Yuan Shao that Lu Zhi was the chief general of the Yellow Turban Army Tiangong General Zhang Jiao, although Lu Zhi was not as ruthless as Huangfu Song, and had killed 100,000 Yellow Turban prisoners in Xiaquyang Pit, but he was definitely not right with Zhang Yan of Montenegro, who was originally from the Yellow Turban Army, so he could use this to make some articles.
Yuan Shao then sent a bold messenger to infiltrate the Black Mountain and send a secret letter to Zhang Yan.
After Liu He led his army back to Macheng, Yuan Shao already knew that he and his good brother Cao Cao had been tricked by Liu He, and in a fit of rage, he immediately ordered the generals such as Lu Yi and Zhang Xu, who had set up an ambush on the north bank of the Yellow River, to lead their troops north and approach Gaoyi where Lu Zhi was sitting again.
Lu Zhi did not know that Liu He had broken through from the direction of Bingzhou and returned to Macheng, but he noticed the movement of Yuan Shao's subordinates, so he immediately ordered Tai Shici to abandon the defense of the gall Tao, protect the people in the city and retreat to Gaoyi, and make a posture of strict defense.
Lu Zhi's decisiveness was completely different from when Han Fu was there, so he avoided the danger of being overly dispersed and being broken by Yuan Shaojun's army one by one.
After a few more days, good news and bad news came to Gaoyi from the north.
The good news is that Liu He led the army to besiege Gongsun Zhan, and the danger in Jicheng seems to be lifted; The bad news was that Zhang Yan, the Montenegrin army, wandered into Changshan territory and caused chaos everywhere, and Changshan Prime Minister Sun Jin led the soldiers in the county to resist and was defeated and killed.
Lu Zhi was not disturbed by Sun Jin's murder, and remained unmoved in Gaoyi City, and did not send troops to Changshan to expel Zhang Yan.
After a few more days, the good news and the bad news came again. The good news is that Liu He killed Gongsun Zhan; The bad news is that Lu Zhi, who is more promising, just hung up.
Lu Zhi was still unmoved, sitting firmly in Gaoyi City, and was not affected by the defeat of Gongsun Zan in the slightest.
When Xu Rong led an army of 10,000 from Jicheng to Jizhou to reinforce him, Yan Liang suddenly led 15,000 people to rush out from Jingcheng Pass, and happened to intercept Xu Rong's road in the area of Xiaquyang.
As a result, Lu Zhi received good news and bad news again. The good news is that the war in Youzhou is basically over, and Liu Yu has sent troops south to reinforce them; The bad news is that the reinforcements sent by Liu Yu were stopped by Yuan Shao's strange soldiers one hundred and fifty miles north of Gaoyi City, and they would be unable to count on it for a while.
This time, Lu Zhi finally moved, but it was unexpected!
Lu Zhi actually sent someone to Guanjin to give an order to Xian Yufu, who was stationed there, to immediately lead the army into Bohai County, and take advantage of the fact that Gongsun Zhan's Tian Kai garrisoned Qingzhou, and the defenders in Nanpi City were panicked, so he captured Nanpi in one fell swoop and controlled Bohai County.
When the reinforcements were blocked and Yuan Shao's army surrounded Gaoyi, Lu Zhi not only did not let Xian Yufu rush back to help, but even let him occupy the Bohai Sea while Yuan Shao and Tian Kai did not react, what kind of confidence and courage is this?
When Liu He led his army south through Gaoyi, he took away the trial and Zhang He from Gaoyi, and then left Tai Shici and Xian Yufu to Lu Zhi, which naturally had the consideration of weakening the Jizhou system, and it could be regarded as laying a foundation for Lu Zhi, who had just arrived. Lu Zhi initially sent Xian Yufu to lead his army to Guanjin, and now it seems that he had predicted the fall of Gongsun Zhan.
Who is Xian Yufu? That was one of the two generals around Liu He, Lu Zhi asked Xian Yufu to lead the army into Bohai County, which was scattered, which was equivalent to giving Bohai to Liu He.
Who said that Lu Zigan, who has a resolute and straightforward personality, doesn't understand politics, people understand it in their hearts! (To be continued......)
