Chapter 24: Lu Zhi's Crisis
The remnants of the Yellow Turban Army were all gathered in Guangzong City.
The military camp outside the city was burned to a pile of charcoal ashes, they didn't care anymore, fortunately, there was still a lot of food stored in the city, and there were more than 100,000 soldiers gathered, enough for them and the imperial army outside to consume.
It's just that Zhang Jiao's situation is not optimistic.
Seeing the second brother Zhang Bao being killed, and thinking of the third brother Zhang Liang being killed in battle, he was angry and spurted blood, his physical condition was getting worse and worse, his face was pale, and he looked like the end was coming.
"Great sage and good teacher, it's not good!"
Zhang Baiqi walked into the room and said hurriedly: "Lu Zhi has surrounded Guangzong. ”
Hearing this, Zhang Jiao was a little excited, coughed lightly twice, and said weakly: "Lu Zhi came so fast?" I'm not in good health right now, and I can't command the battle, so it's up to you to do the rest. ”
Zhang Baiqi hurriedly said: "Come on, quickly prepare the runic water!" ”
"Fu Shui...... It's useless! ”
Zhang Jiao admitted this matter in person, and said: "I can get better after a few days of rest, you go and defend the city, don't let Lu Zhi take advantage of it, go!" Leave me alone! ”
"I will arrange a few people to stay outside, and the great sages and good teachers will call them in at any time if necessary."
Zhang Baiqi still left the house.
The most important thing now is to hold Guangzong and preserve the current strength of the Yellow Turban Army.
When he walked away, Zhang Jiao lay weakly on the couch and sighed: "Second brother, third brother, it was the eldest brother who harmed you!" ”
Now that the rebellion is unsuccessful, the emperor can't be the emperor, and he has lost two relatives, Zhang Jiao's heart hurts!
I feel that my fate is coming to an end.
——
Lu Zhibing approached the city.
Guangzong's Yellow Turban Army is ready for battle.
Yang Zhao knew that now was almost the final decisive battle between Lu Zhi and Zhang Jiao, as long as Guangzong was broken, the Yellow Turban Rebellion would be temporarily quelled, but Zhang Jiao was very well prepared in the city, and it was not easy to attack.
As soon as Lu Zhi arrived at the city of Guangzong, he asked people to make all kinds of siege equipment and prepare to launch a strong attack.
But before the siege of the city, people came from Luoyang.
Zuo Feng is a eunuch, but now His Majesty Liu Hong, the one who trusts is the eunuch, this time he came to Lu Zhi's army, he was ordered to inspect the work in the army, and by the way, he made some benefits in Lu Zhi's hands, and just came to give all kinds of hints about benefits.
Lu Zhi's temper is just not happy with people like Zuo Feng, and it is impossible to bribe, so he said with a cold attitude: "Since Huangmen is here to inspect the barracks, let's inspect it casually, I won't accompany you." ”
Huangmen is Zuo Feng's official position.
Zuo Feng was very unhappy when he was treated like this, and threatened: "Lu Zhonglang, I am here to inspect the military camp on behalf of Your Majesty, I advise you to think clearly about how to entertain me next, otherwise I will say the wrong thing in front of Your Majesty, and the consequences will be very serious." ”
With that, he angrily left and walked into the makeshift tent here.
Zuo Feng was unhappy, but he didn't dare to tear his face with Lu Zhi directly in the barracks, after all, this is Lu Zhi's territory, and the benefits he wants haven't been obtained yet.
"What a big breath!"
The current Cao Cao, who is still loyal to the big man in his heart, is also unhappy with this kind of behavior, and said coldly: "A little yellow door dares to put on a face in front of Lu Zhonglang." ”
Lu Zhi said bitterly: "Your Majesty's side is full of such people, this is the misfortune of the big man!" ”
Cao Cao asked: "Zuo Feng will definitely embarrass Lu Zhonglang, how to deal with him?" ”
If it is not handled well, this goods will be deliberately slandered by Liu Hong's side, and Lu Zhi, the general of Beizhonglang, will not have to be responsible, and will even be questioned.
"What Zuo Feng wants is nothing more than money and other benefits."
Yang Zhao said.
The next Lu Zhi refused to give benefits, so he was handed over by Zuo Fengkeng, and finally was taken back to Luoyang in a prisoner car.
Until Huangfu Song defeated and returned to Luoyang, Lu Zhi could be rehabilitated and the official reinstated.
Yang Zhao wanted to change this incident, and said: "Since Zuo Feng wants benefits, Lu Zhonglang will give it to him." ”
"Ridiculous!"
Lu Zhi's face turned cold, and he said seriously: "I, Lu Zhi, how can I use money to bribe a yellow door?" ”
He originally admired Yang Zhao very much, but when he looked at it today, he thought that Yang Zhao was also that kind of villain, he only knew that he was inflammatory, bribing others, but it was a pity that he was talented!
The good impression in my heart was erased in an instant, and I sneered in disappointment.
"Lu Zhonglang, please listen to me."
Yang Zhao explained: "I asked Lu Zhonglang to do this, there is also a reason, Zuo Feng just wants benefits, if he is not given benefits, he will definitely frame us in front of His Majesty." ”
"It was not with great difficulty that we dismantled the Yellow Turban Moth Thief's advantage and forced it into Guangzong."
"If Lu Zhonglang is framed by Zuo Feng, Your Majesty is furious and sends someone to arrest Lu Zhonglang back, wouldn't our advantage in Julu be wasted, so that Zhang Jiao can find a chance to rise again and cause chaos in the world?"
He looked at Lu Zhi with a sincere face and said all the reasons.
Lu Zhi frowned, it turned out that he had misunderstood Yang Zhao, and he was ashamed in his heart.
Yang Zhao analyzed from the overall situation, Lu Zhi must not have an accident, otherwise it will boost the arrogance of the Yellow Turban Army.
However, let him bribe and be noble all his life, and he can't do such a thing.
Cao Cao agreed: "Sima Yang is reasonable, we can't lose the great advantage of dealing with the Yellow Turban Moth Thief for the sake of a Yellow Gate, please Lu Zhonglang think twice!" ”
Lu Zhi's heart gradually wavered, and he hesitated: "But I ......"
Yang Zhao understood his thoughts, and said with a smile: "I will solve this matter, as long as Lu Zhonglang shows his face at that time, everything will not be a problem, provided that Lu Zhonglang can trust me." ”
"Okay!"
Lu Zhi thought about it for a long time, thinking that what they said made sense, and reluctantly agreed: "This matter will be handed over to Yang Sima to deal with, and there will be no discussion for the time being, Zhang Jiao is now hiding in Guangzong, fully prepared, and it is not easy to break the city, what do you think of the fight?" ”
He brought the topic back to the Yellow Turbans.
How to end the Yellow Turban Rebellion is the most important thing.
Cao Cao first said: "Prepare enough ladders, as well as building carts, trebuchets, etc., and attack!" ”
"I think it's okay to stall with the Yellow Turbans!"
Yang Zhao recalled Zhang Jiao's fate, and said: "When I killed Zhang Bao that day, I saw Zhang Jiao vomiting blood in a hurry, and his face was suddenly pale and crumbling. ”
"Really?"
Lu Zhi's eyes lit up at first, and then he shook his head slightly and said: "No, Yang Sima is just guessing, no one can be sure what Zhang Jiao's situation is, Cao Duwei, you give the order to go down, speed up the production of ladders and building cars, and build another rushing car, I want to attack!" ”
He is still more inclined to attack this method.
Yang Zhao's speculation is uncertain, how can it be used casually.
Since this is the case, Yang Zhao didn't say anything more, there will be results if he waits, and then he has to find a way to solve Zuo Feng's matter.
