Chapter 374: The Change of Guangzong (Part II)
"Someone from the palace?" Lu Zhi Huoran turned around and asked as he stared at the centurion who was reporting the news.
He already had a bad premonition in his heart, if someone came from the palace, it could only be a bad thing, it couldn't be a good thing, what good thing could the arrival of the eunuch be? What he is more worried about now is that someone has slandered and shaken His Majesty, otherwise how could he come to Guangzong now? I'm afraid that someone saw that he hadn't fought a decisive battle with the main force of the Yellow Turban Army for a long time, and he was moved.
"Yes. Now the envoy is just outside the gate. The centurion replied respectfully.
Hearing this, the generals who were participating in the deliberations in the tent looked at each other, if it weren't for Lu Zhi's prestige there, they would have been talking about it a long time ago. Now he is setting his sights on Lu Zhi who is in the handsome position, and he will not accept the foreign monarch's order, but with His Majesty's usual practice, after the monarch's order is not accepted, what awaits Lu Shuai is only an ending of being imprisoned.
As if sensing the implied meaning in the eyes of the generals, Lu Zhi also felt a lot of helplessness in his heart, and said, "You guys go down first." ”
"Yes." The generals clenched their fists and withdrew from the tent in turn.
"Alright, bring them in."
Lu Zhi sat back in his handsome position, his fingers tapped on the desk in front of him, and the rhythm of the tapping was a little fast, which also meant that his current mood was extremely complicated. The general who leads the army, what he is most afraid of is the interference of the monarch, the war is changing rapidly, and it is not something that people thousands of miles away can decide!
"Wait here, you guys." When he came to the tent of the commander of the Chinese army, Zuo Feng gave an order.
"Yes!" The Yulin army stopped, waiting outside the tent of the Chinese army. Their duty is to safely escort Zuo Feng to Guangzong and safely escort him back to Luoyang, as for other things, they don't care about it, and they can't control it.
"Lu Zhonglang, I am Huangmen Zuofeng." As soon as he entered the handsome tent, Zuo Feng immediately said with a respectful hand.
"Dare to ask Zuo Huangmen, why is it here?" Lu Zhi got up, he wouldn't be disrespectful in etiquette now. Relative to personal honor and disgrace, the current battle of Guangzong is undoubtedly related to the entire Han Dynasty, as long as the battle of Guangzong can be carried out smoothly, a little concession is nothing.
"Your Majesty sent me to ask Lu Zhonglang why the army is not moving!" Zuo Feng took a few steps forward and asked out loud. He stared straight at Lu Zhi with his eyes, and did not let go of any expression on Lu Zhi's body, but unfortunately, he couldn't see anything.
"Please go back and tell Your Majesty that Zigan is now rejecting the enemy army, not because he doesn't want to march, but because the thief army is strong. Now that the battle situation in Yingchuan has come to an end, just wait for the reinforcements of Yingchuan to arrive in Guangzong, I will launch a full-scale attack, and I must annihilate the thief army in Guangzong! Lu Zhi replied forcefully.
In front of the thief army that is several times larger, it is the best choice for him to stabilize the position like this, once the big war starts, nothing can be predicted. He only explained clearly at this time, and asked Zuo Feng, who came to come, to inform His Majesty of the situation, so that there would be no changes.
"Oh? I see. Zuo Feng nodded, with a look of understanding on his face.
When Lu Zhi saw it, he put his mind at ease, it seemed that this Huangmen was not as greedy as those attendants, and it seemed that his worries were a little redundant. Just breathed a sigh of relief, but Lu Zhi saw Zuo Feng's eyes narrow, and he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart.
"I will tell Your Majesty the truth, but it would be good if Lu Zhonglang was willing to mean something. After all, I was in a hurry along the way, wearing the stars and the moon, and this journey was not very safe, whether I could bring the news back, and whether there would be any omissions, then I had no way to guarantee. ”
"As long as Zhonglang leaks a little bit, then I will definitely report the situation truthfully."
"What?" Lu Zhi was stunned, and reacted instantly, this is a blatant bribery! He didn't expect things to change so much, from the beginning he thought it was easy to speak, but now, Huangmen Zuofeng immediately changed.
"You're threatening me?"
"No, no, no, how can this be considered a threat?" Zuo Feng waved his hand again and again, he smiled and continued: "This is just a discussion, I'm just discussing something with Zhonglang that is beneficial to you and me, how can it be considered a threat?" Not a single bit. ”
"But where do I have the money?" Lu Zhi said with a frown. These people, don't look at the official position is quite high, but in fact, there is not much money. And a Confucian like him usually doesn't pay attention to money and the like, and cares more about reputation.
"No money?" Zuo Feng seemed to have been greatly insulted, the smile on his face suddenly disappeared, and his eyes stared at Lu Zhi, like a poisonous snake staring at its prey.
His patience was almost exhausted, he didn't believe that Lu Zhi wouldn't understand what he was talking about, he just didn't want to give it! A general like him who goes abroad to command the army, what does it mean to deduct a little from the military budget of the whole army? Even if you don't have money, you just need to resell some military rations, and then everything will be there.
The disgust for Lu Zhi is even deeper, and there is no good thing left for Lu Zhi that Zuo Feng thought about on the way here.
"Lu Zhonglang, don't talk darkly, fifty or sixty thousand troops, there is no food at all?"
"Ridiculous! Shall I covet that bread? In the army, how many soldiers are dying on the battlefield, how many soldiers have not received their salaries in time, how can I covet those salaries! ”
"Zuo Huangmen doesn't need to mention this again!" Lu Zhi flatly rejected Zuo Feng's proposal.
If he can't do these things, how can he do them? How many soldiers have been on the battlefield, how can he, the commander, take the salary that other people fight for? In any case, it is impossible for him to agree, this is his bottom line, no matter how Zuo Feng goes back, it will not change this result.
"Good, good, good! Since Lu Zhonglang said so, then Feng won't say more! When I go back, I will report it truthfully! Zuo Feng bit the word truth very hard and glanced at Lu Zhi deeply. Since Lu Zhi is so ignorant, then don't blame him Zuo Feng!
There are more than he can afford, as far as Zuo Feng knows, Xiliang Dong Zhuo sent a lot of gold, silver and jewelry to Feng Chang. In this way, it is estimated that there will be no surprises if Lu Zhi is replaced.
With a cold smile on his face, Zuo Feng turned around and walked out of the tent. He didn't want to stay here any longer, and he felt greatly insulted, so he just wanted to rush back to Luoyang as soon as possible and tell Feng Xu all about Lu Zhi's performance.
"Hmph." Before walking out of the tent, Zuo Feng chuckled disdainfully, deeply remembering Lu Zhi in his heart. Of course, it's the kind of grudge.
