Chapter 10: Counter-Plotting
However, it was said that Lu Zhi and Zhang Jiao fought in Guangzong, and they were about to win, so Zhang Jiao used witchcraft, and the sky was dark for a while.
When the demon wind dispersed, Zhang Jiao's figure had long since disappeared.
Seeing that Lu Zhi had been invincible for a long time, the imperial court sent Huangmen Zuofeng to investigate, but he didn't expect that this eunuch had already been bought by Zhang Jiao.
He first pretended to ask Lu Zhi for a bribe, but Lu Zhi pushed back with words.
After Zuo Feng returned to the court, he slandered Emperor Ling, saying that Lu Zhi would not be able to fight.
Emperor Ling was furious when he heard this, so he sent Dong Zhuo to lead the troops instead of Lu Zhi, and asked the sergeant to arrest Lu Zhi and bring him back to Beijing for questioning.
After Zhang Jiao got the news, he was relieved to know that his counter-plot had succeeded.
His disciple Su Quan, after seeing Zhang Jiao's expression at this moment, stepped forward and flattered: "Congratulations to the great sage and good teacher, this time Lu Zhi is gone, and the big thing can be done!" ”
When Zhang Jiao heard him say this, his face suddenly became heavy again. He frowned and said: "Although Lu Zhi was arrested and returned to the capital for questioning, if the official army has been defeated, he will not be reinstated one day. As long as Lu Zhi doesn't die, my heart will be at peace day and night. ”
Su Quan took the opportunity to say: "Master, don't worry, I am willing to bring 3,000 people from the headquarters to see Lu Zhi's head." ”
Sure enough, Zhang Jiao was very satisfied when he heard him say this. But thinking that he went this time, if he couldn't succeed, there would be no second chance.
So Zhang Jiao said: "Okay, in addition, I will send thirteen generals to protect the altar with you, and you must succeed this time!" ”
Su Quan heard that Zhang Jiao sent the thirteen generals to protect the altar with him, and his heart was suddenly overjoyed.
It turned out that before Zhang Jiao raised his army, he used secret medicine to train dead soldiers, and in the end, only these thirteen people were obtained. Although they only have a ten-year lifespan after success, they all have the courage to do so. Now Zhang Jiao is secret, just wait for the future to sweep the world, let them kill and capture the flag.
Liu Bei traveled day and night, and before he arrived in Guangzong, he encountered a team of sergeants.
They were escorting a prisoner van, and it was Lu Zhi inside. Liu Bei hurriedly dismounted and asked him why, and Lu Zhi told him truthfully. Zhang Fei was furious after hearing this, and wanted to kill this group of sergeants, and rescue Lu Zhi first, but Liu Bei stopped him.
When the sergeant escorted Lu Zhi away, Zhang Feiwu said to himself: "This battle is really unpleasant!" General Lu Zhi was born and died for the country, and he didn't want to let a eunuch tell right and wrong, so he became a guilty person! He is still like that, let alone us who are of low status. ”
Guan Yu said: "We go to Guangzong now, and there is no one to take refuge into. This Dong Zhuo is a treacherous and arrogant person, and when we went to him, we also secretly invested in Mingzhu. It's better to go back to Zhuojun first, and then make plans. ”
Liu Bei heard Guan Yu's suggestion and knew that there was no other way, so he nodded and agreed, and the three brothers led the army north to Youzhou.
Suddenly, he noticed something strange and said to Liu Bei: "Big brother, there is a large army coming from the opposite side. ”
Hearing Guan Yu say this, Liu Bei hurriedly ordered the army to be stopped and set up a position.
Su Quanzheng led his troops to chase and kill Lu Zhi, and saw an army blocking the road ahead. After the two armies faced each other, because he was eager to make meritorious contributions, he didn't talk to him, and directly asked a general to step forward and kill the head.
Zhang Fei looked at the opponent's formation, and one of them came out of the horse and came straight to the main formation.
He immediately raised the eight snake spears to meet him, and the two fought for more than ten rounds, and the general was stabbed to death by Zhang Fei with a spear.
After Su Quan saw it, he was shocked and angry. Huang Fang folded Zhang Shi's altar protector before, almost lost his life, and now he is sent to make meritorious contributions.
Before he saw Lu Zhi, he lost an altar protector first, and I am afraid that he will fall out of favor in front of his teacher. Thinking of this, he hurriedly sent two more people to attack Zhang Fei, in a vain attempt to make up for his mistakes.
Zhang Fei saw that the other party had two more people, he was not afraid, and the evil qi on his body skyrocketed, and he fought for more than 20 battles, stabbing one of them to death. The other person fled after returning to the horse, allowing Zhang Fei to stab him in the back of the heart, which also ended his life.
After Su Quan saw it, he was furious in his heart. He knew that he had broken three people in a row, and after being known by Master Zhang, he might not have Huang Fang's luck. He sent all the remaining ten generals, and he must behead Zhang Fei first.
"Shameless villain!" Guan Yu shouted, slapped out of the formation, and fought with Zhang Fei against these ten generals.
said that Zhang Fei was not afraid, and when he saw Guan Yu coming, he was even more energetic. He suddenly shouted, as if he had hit a thunderbolt out of thin air, scaring the generals on the opposite side, and Zhang Fei took the opportunity to stab him to death with a spear.
At this moment, an axe went straight to the back of Zhang Fei's head, but when he saw the blue light flashing, he swung the giant axe away with a bang, and it turned out that Guan Yu saw someone sneaking up and waved his knife to save him.
Zhang Fei turned around and stabbed, directly stabbing the sneak attacker under the horse.
Seeing that Guan Yu was difficult, the five people surrounded him together, fighting like wheels, and their weapons all greeted him.
Guan Yu is not afraid at all, every time he goes down, he will make a handful of muscles and bones numb, and the battle will reach twenty, and the Yellow Turban generals will be exhausted and prostrate.
If it weren't for the large number of them, I'm afraid no one would be able to survive the Sanhe. After more than ten battles, Guan Yudao waved one person into two sections.
Then take advantage of the trend and slash the other shoulder strap brain, cutting it in half.
Zhang Fei was caught by the other three, and at this moment, seeing Guan Yu kill two generals in a row, he shook his spirit, and the snake spear shook in the face of one person, and the person quickly dodged. He took the opportunity to stab with his backhand and killed another person.
At this time, the other general took the opportunity to stab at Zhang Fei, and Zhang Fei was exhausted and had no time to dodge.
Only a sharp wind roar was heard, and then it was split in half, and immediately blood gushed and flowed all over the ground. It turned out that Guan Yu had already solved five people, and when he saw that Zhang Fei was in danger, he hurriedly waved his knife to save him, and slashed with all his might, resulting in his life. The only remaining person was so frightened that he pulled out his horse and wanted to escape, and was stabbed in the center by Zhang Fei with a spear and fell under the horse.
Su Quan sweated like rain in an instant, and he had completely lost his claim at this moment.
These thirteen altar guards, but Zhang Jiao's great reliance, is now lost in his own hands, and he may not be able to survive after he goes back.
Liu Guanzhang led the army to cover up, and Su Quan was so frightened that the six gods had no master, so he quickly dismounted and knelt down.
After asking the reason, Liu Bei hated him and wanted to persecute Lu Zhi, so he beheaded Su Quan.
Later, after collecting the money and food of the soldiers and horses of the Yellow Turban, he left on his own.
After a little rectification, the three brothers continued north to Zhuo County.
Along the way, Liu Bei sighed: "I didn't expect that in this court, there are people and people in this corner, who are in collusion with each other, and there is a nest of snakes and rats." They collude inside and outside to harm Zhongliang, how can the world not be chaotic? ”
Guan Yu stroked his beard and said: "Since this is the case, we will go back to Zhuo County and continue to recruit Xiangyong." When the time comes, you can retire to ensure the safety of one party, and you can enter the world. ”
After hearing this, Zhang Fei echoed: "The second brother is right, as long as there are enough soldiers and horses, then words count." Even if the eldest brother becomes the emperor at that time, there is nothing to do! ”
Liu Bei heard him say this, and scolded: "Hugh is talking nonsense! I and you are waiting to serve the country, how can I say such a big rebellious statement! ”
After Su Quan was beheaded, the 3,000 men and horses under him were let go by Liu Guanzhang and the others, leaving him to fend for himself. Although most of them were thrown into the mountains and forests, many of them still returned to Zhang Jiao.
