On the night when the revolutionary army was preparing for the decisive battle, Lu Zhi's army also set up camp about fifteen miles away from them.

This time, they concentrated the whole army. Because of the wonderful performance of the ferry army before, although it did not make a meritorious statement, it finally had the qualifications to fight with the army. Although most of them were listless and silent---- they had no excitement about winning the battle, burning the enemy's food and grass, and preparing to defeat the enemy at once.

"Your Excellency." The officer who had executed Soldier A approached Lu Zhi before he entered the tent. "According to your orders, there are more than 700 thieves caught yesterday, and all of them have been executed."

"Hmm." Lu Zhi walked straight into the tent.

They fought beautifully. The enemy has no food and grass to carry their burdens, and their annihilation is just around the corner. Although for some reason, the will of the imperial court erased the merits of the armies of the ferry. But that's it, sooner or later, fight again, and make up for them.

He also heard about last night's incident. The report of his subordinates: There are thieves who have infiltrated the ferry procession, ready to take advantage of the opportunity to cause chaos, and will be severely punished immediately; According to Zhang Da's report, the soldier who was executed fought bravely that day, killed several thieves, drank too much wine that night, and was emotional when he heard that his parents had been killed.

Fought bravely for the country, while his parents were killed as thieves. It's also something that can't be helped. If I had been there, I might have spared his life. But the subordinates did not hesitate, they were resentful, and if they were killed, they would be killed, a trivial matter not worth mentioning.

As he was thinking, a scout came running in the distance, and when he got closer, he got down on his knees and presented a letter.

The sergeant next to him took the letter and handed it to Lu Zhi. He opened it and found that it was written by the revolutionary army opposite.

"Hello General Lu, I am Wang Luo, the commander of the revolutionary army."

"The two armies fought before, and there was no victory or defeat. But thou hast sent men against my camp. This is not a gentleman's doing. ”

"Now, our army has no food and is on the verge of defeat. I heard that when the Qin Dynasty was in trouble, there was Zhao Gao's trouble, and victory could not be rewarded, and defeat was death, so Zhang Han surrendered to Chu; Now the harm of the ten permanent servants is far greater than that of Zhao Gao. If the general breaks through our army, the Han will not be rewarded, and the general will be harmed. ”

"Yellow Turbans, who believe in cults and abuse the people. The general broke it for the sake of eliminating harm for all the people. However, I am not a yellow scarf, but a revolutionary army. Dividing the land and the people is to save the people. The general beats me, and it is rare to be rewarded; Defeat me and harm the people around me. Among the stakes, I hope the general will think carefully. ”

"If the general is afraid of the Han room to blame, please stop the pursuit for a while, and I will leave with my own troops. Passing through the county, I don't dare to disturb it. When we meet again in the future, we will repay the great kindness. ”

A letter, half-written and half-white, vassal and elegant. Lu Zhi saw it, laughed, and threw it into the fire.

"Herald! Tomorrow morning, the fourth watch will make food, and the fifth watch will march to break the remnants of the enemy! ”

----

When Lu Zhi received this letter, two other letters were also sent to the Han army camp.

Among them, the cavalry captain who was seven feet long, with thin eyes and long hair, Cao Cao Cao Mengde, received the following content:

"General Cao, hello, I am Wang Luo, the commander of the revolutionary army."

"Today, the Han family is exhausted."

"The state is not a family of one person, but a whole of all the people in the world. The superior is responsible for management and coordination, and the subordinate is responsible for farming and fighting. But now, it is not only the incompetence of the emperor and the dereliction of duty of the eunuchs. The ministers and wealthy families are also selfish and selfish, not focusing on the country, but only on the family. ”

"After a long period of power, they have developed the illusion that they take high positions for granted. What's even more excessive is that he only treats the people of his own family as human beings, and does not treat outsiders as human beings. They occupy a lot of wealth and a very high position, but they refuse to perform the duties of stewards, and do not have the will and ability to govern and coordinate the entire country. ”

"The country today is like wood gnawed by termites. From the outside, it looks intact, but when you touch it, it will fall apart. When the time comes, thousands of miles of red land, rivers of blood, foreign invasions, and the Chinese people are regarded as pigs and sheep, only in front of them. ”

"Ordinary people, with no land and no food, and their lives were miserable, so they rebelled under the instigation of the Yellow Turbans. But the Yellow Turbans are like Yin Shang, focusing on ghosts and gods. They did not produce, plundered everywhere, did not save the people, and harmed the people first, and sooner or later they were all the result of defeat. ”

"But we, the Revolutionary Army, are different from the Yellow Turbans. We have our own program, which is to divide the land of the wealthy people among the poor peasants, and then organize production and expand the ranks. Ordinary people in the world will benefit from our program. You come from a wealthy family, and at first glance this program is not in your interest. But I've heard that talented people don't care about small profits; The big husband who has the world in his heart wants to make contributions to the world and the people and go down in history. In the end, he can't be like Huangfu Song and Lu Zhi, slaughtering the people for their own selfishness, family interests, and foolish loyalty, and inexplicable fear. ”

"I didn't expect you to do anything after reading the letter. What's more, our army is newly defeated, and it is difficult to protect itself, let alone stupid words such as recruiting surrender. But the sword has no eyes, and it cannot be merciful. When we fight the Han army in the coming day, if we are lucky and our army wins, please lay down your arms and show your left arm as a sign of surrender. When our soldiers saw it, they would not kill it. ”

Reading the letter, the cavalry lieutenant laughed.

The letter to the one with his ears hanging over his shoulders and his hands over his knees reads as follows:

"General Liu, hello, I am Wang Luo, the commander of the revolutionary army."

"Our army is not the Yellow Turban Army. Our soldiers were originally poor people, so they were strictly disciplined, never cruelty to the poor, but distributed the property and land of the landlords and wealthy families to them. ”

"We didn't loot the property of ordinary people, we didn't kill innocent people. You must have seen how we treat the peasants, and how the landlords and wealthy families treat the peasants. In my opinion, the world is not the emperor's world, not the world of the wealthy and hundreds of officials, but the world of all ordinary people. ”

"Why do you think Lu Zhi killed people? I think it's because he's afraid, he's afraid that the program that we've put forward will give his family's land, his wealth, to the poor who are suffering and starving. But if you want people not to go hungry, you have to do it. ”

"The head is like a leek, cut and reborn; The head is like a chicken, cutting and singing. Officials don't have to be fearful, and small people are never to be taken lightly. Now, our entire army is cornered, Lu Zhi will not allow us to surrender, and he has killed the families of many of our soldiers. This deep hatred can only be avenged by desperately defeating him. ”

"Death, some are as heavy as Mount Tai, and some are as light as a feather. To die for the interests of the people is heavier than Mount Tai; To die for the oppression of the people by the landlords and wealthy clans is lighter than a feather. If you think it doesn't matter if you kill ordinary people struggling to survive, then come and fight us; If you have even the slightest mercy on the people, go and attack the Yellow Turbans in the north. ”

"Those yellow turbans, stupid and incompetent, and cruel and unkind, if we win, for the sake of all the people of the world, sooner or later we will attack them."

However, the soldiers entrusted by the revolutionary army to deliver the letter, although they searched everywhere, could not deliver the letter to the other party.

After learning that the Han army at Dukou had conquered the camp of the revolutionary army and what happened afterward, the three of them did not say goodbye to Lu Zhi and directly led their subordinates to leave.

"The armies of the ferry broke the enemy camp, but they did nothing; There are also soldiers and family members who were killed by Lu Gong's subordinates and died of grief and indignation, what is the use of me waiting here? ”

"It's better to go north and attack the Yellow Turban Rebellion."
