Chapter 17: Fraud
Lu Zhi agreed to Yang Zhao's plan and immediately arranged for its implementation.
The clothes of the Yellow Turban Army are not difficult to find, after fighting for so long, there are not many Yellow Turban soldiers they have captured, and five hundred sets of clothes will be prepared soon, and Yang Zhao and them will change into them uniformly.
"Sima Yang, if you fail, don't worry about King Ganling."
In Lu Zhi's eyes, a royal prince of the Han family who only knows how to be greedy for pleasure and greedy for life and afraid of death is far less important than a fierce general with full potential like Yang Zhao, so he can give up directly if he can't do it.
Yang Zhao said confidently: "Lu Zhonglang, please rest assured, I can bring King Ganling back." ”
After that, he took the five hundred people, walked out of the barracks, and made a detour in the direction of Ganling.
To avoid being discovered by the enemy, all they walked was in the wilderness.
"Lu Zhonglang, there are three brothers outside, and they have brought five hundred villagers to ask for a meeting."
"The one at the head claims to be Lu Zhonglang's disciple."
Not long after Yang Zhao left, a personal soldier came over and said.
"My disciple?"
Lu Zhi was curious, and when he went outside, he saw a man with his ears hanging down his shoulders and his hands over his knees, and hurriedly walked over.
"Student Liu Bei, I've seen the teacher!"
Liu Bei bowed.
Standing behind him were naturally Guan Zhang and the two of them, as well as the five hundred villagers who had been newly recruited.
Liu Bei said: "The Yellow Turban Moth thieves are in trouble, we and our two righteous brothers recruited more than 500 people from the township to fight against the rebels, and learned that the teacher was attacking the Yellow Turban in Jizhou, so he came to take refuge. ”
Lu Zhi nodded slightly and said with a smile: "You guys came just in time, come in first!" ”
——
Yang Zhao didn't know that the three brothers Liu Guanzhang had already come to Lu Zhi's camp.
At this time, they marched in a hurry.
Ganling is just south of the Qing River, east of Guangzong, and it is not very far from Guangping.
After walking for more than a day, he approached his destination, and soon got the news that Ganling was lost, and Liu Zhong, the king of Ganling, was captured and was on his way back to Guangzong.
"Sima, what should I do?"
Of course, Fang Rui followed, and when he heard that King Ganling was captured, their plan to save people failed before it could be launched?
Yang Zhao said in a low voice: "I have two plans, the first is to save people, and the second plan is directly related to you, you can listen to me." ”
In Fang Rui's ear, he said one of the plans, and said: "The others are all ready, on the official road from Ganling to Guangzong, save people!" ”
Five hundred, quickly into action.
Fang Rui did not participate in the plan to save people, and quietly left the team and walked in the direction of Guangzong.
On the official road leading to Gwangjong.
A prisoner cart drove in the direction of Guangzong.
Liu Zhong was the only one in the car, and the rest of his family and relatives were all killed by the Yellow Turban Army.
"I thought that King Ganling would be difficult to catch, and those dog officials in the court would send people to desperately save him, but I didn't expect that the attack would be less than a day before the city was directly broken."
"It turns out that the Han clan is not very good in their eyes, haha......"
"King Ganling, didn't you say that your life is very valuable, and you have a good relationship with that dog emperor? Now that you've been caught, why hasn't anyone come to save you? ”
"A lazy prince, who wants to save him?"
There were more than 2,000 Yellow Turban soldiers in charge of escorting.
They were ordered to send Liu Zhong back to Guangzong as soon as possible, so they set off early, and the large army attacking Ganling was still in the rear.
Before the rebellion, they were just peasants and had never seen the emperor's relatives, but now they have captured King Ganling, a member of the Han family, and found that the emperor's relatives are not very good, so they are casually manipulated by them.
All kinds of superiority surged up in an instant, sneering at Liu Zhong.
Liu Zhong in the prison car didn't say a word, but his hands were clenched into fists, but unfortunately he was reduced to a prisoner and couldn't do anything, and he regretted that he was greedy for pleasure and had nothing to do all day long, and now he can't even protect his family.
If he had rectified Ganling at the beginning and had been strong, Ganling would not have been broken if he couldn't hold on for a day, and it would not be easy to be a prince in troubled times.
"What people!"
The Yellow Turban soldiers laughed, and suddenly saw a group of soldiers appear in front of them.
"My own people!"
Yang Zhao led people to stride out.
Seeing the person in front of them, also wearing a yellow scarf and wearing the same clothes as themselves, their vigilance relaxed slightly, and the leader asked, "Which of Qu Shuai's subordinates are you?" What to do here? ”
Yang Zhao had a cold face, strode over, and said coldly: "We are the personal guards of the great sage and good teacher, and we were ordered to pick up Liu Zhong, you can just give me the person." ”
Hearing that it was the people around the great sage and good teacher, they were all stunned.
However, they never got it, and someone would come to pick up Liu Zhong's order halfway, and the leader asked with some suspicion: "You said that you are the personal guard of the great sage and good teacher, what evidence do you have?" ”
"We do things, and we still need to prove to you?"
Yang Zhao took two steps forward and said very arrogantly: "Immediately hand over Liu Zhong to me, if you don't follow, you will miss a big thing, and you will go back to see the great sage and good teacher, bring it!" ”
He said this with great momentum and a cold tone, and suddenly suppressed the group of soldiers who were responsible for escorting Liu Zhong.
"Good...... Well, we'll hand over the prisoner cart to you. ”
The leader was taken by the momentum, was startled, chose to believe the identity of Yang Zhao's personal guard, and hurriedly asked people to push the prisoner cart up.
Yang Zhao asked people to take over the prisoner car, didn't bother to say a word to them again, turned around and left.
It wasn't until the people were far away that some of the Yellow Turban soldiers murmured, "What a haught!" ”
The man at the head said: "Don't talk nonsense, let's not move around at will, wait for the rear army to catch up, and then go back to the barracks after the rendezvous." ”
Yang Zhao did not go to Guangzong, and after stepping out of the enemy's sight, he changed direction and headed south, coming to a jungle.
"Alert!"
He shouted, and the other soldiers quickly dispersed in all directions, beware of an enemy following.
Yang Zhao opened the prisoner car, released Liu Zhong, and said: "Beizhong Lang General Lu Zhi is under the command of Sima Yang Zhao, I have seen His Highness!" ”
"Are you from the court?"
Liu Zhong said in surprise.
Yang Zhao nodded and said: "We are Lu Zhonglang's subordinates, and we are here to save His Highness, because the Yellow Turban Army is too eager to attack Ganling, even if the Tuncai Battalion has no time to rescue, so I have to intercept His Highness on the road, I may have offended just now, please forgive me." ”
"Good...... That's great! ”
Liu Zhong was so excited that he almost cried, grabbed Yang Zhao's hand, and said, "If you can survive this time, this king will definitely give you a lifetime of wealth!" ”
Yang Zhao just listened to this kind of empty check, and continued: "Your Highness, we are still in the enemy camp, it is extremely dangerous, we have to leave immediately, please follow us." ”
Liu Zhong understood what the current situation was, and was worried that when the Yellow Turban Army caught up, Yang Zhao would abandon himself on the way and continue to write his blank checks: "Back in Luoyang, I have seen Your Majesty, and this king will personally ask for credit for you." ”
"For life-saving benefactors, this king has always been stingy!"
"You must protect this king and go back to see General Zhonglang."
He continued to woo Yang Zhao and others, deliberately saying so.
Yang Zhao: "......"
This cargo will be captured alive, not for no reason, greedy for life and afraid of death, nothing can be accomplished, the anger and unwillingness in the prisoner car just now were directly thrown aside.
