Liu Jian didn't know what kind of exchange of interests Liu Hong made with the ministers of the court, but he knew that since the Son of Heaven and the Manchu Dynasty had reached an agreement, Lu Zhi, the position of the lieutenant general, had to be replaced.

This is the transfer of high-level interests between the Son of Heaven and the family, the water behind this is too deep, and most of the people involved in it are in high positions, and the result is already unchangeable.

Instead of waiting for others to take the initiative to seek you, at this time, it is better to take the initiative to retreat, and don't be contaminated with this troubled water.

Moreover, according to Liu Jian's understanding of Liu Hong, if Lu Zhi can't be delayed, and in the end, Liu Hong gets impatient and personally orders the removal of Lu Zhi's position as a lieutenant general, then Lu Zhi's expedition this time is tantamount to playing in vain.

Although Mr. Lu doesn't care about this, Liu Jian cares a lot.

After all, Lu Zhi was his teacher and helped him a lot, and at the most critical time, Lu Zhi helped Liu Jian show the way.

In this matter, if Lu Zhi can take the initiative to resign, even if it indirectly saves face for Liu Hong and makes the emperor's deal go smoothly, Liu Hong will feel ashamed of Lu Zhi because of this, and he will definitely compensate Lu Zhi in the future.

The creature of the emperor is generally the kind that follows the donkey, leading and not walking backwards.

You have to play some tactful tricks for him to be happy.

At that moment, Liu Jian personally wrote a letter and sent elite knights to the northern battlefield on fast horses and starry nights, so as to deliver it to Lu Zhi as quickly as possible.

The letters are full of the heartfelt words of his student.

After getting Liu Jian's letter, Lu Zhi felt bitter and helpless.

"Alas, although I have the heart to serve the country with merit, it is a pity that Your Majesty does not value me, but if you think about it carefully, Lu already has a lot of literary and martial arts, if you don't let some credit with others, it is indeed a little inappropriate, Your Majesty is afraid that I will treat me differently, and Deran's words are right in the right place."

Lu Zhi muttered to himself for a long time, and then ordered someone to send pen and ink and slips, and prepared to start writing to the DPRK and asking for his resignation.

But after several attempts to put pen to paper, Lu Zhi did not fall in the end.

He has always acted upright, but he is a little awkward in his heart.

In the end, Lu Zhi looked at the slip sent by his little apprentice again, and after pondering for a long time, a pair of eyes that were already slightly cloudy finally shone with a little brilliance.

"I've lived a handful of years, how to end up is not as thorough as my own life, just write!"

Lu Zhi finally made up his mind, and finally put pen to paper, and worked hard to write this resignation on the slip.

Subsequently, Lu Zhi sent his resignation to Luoyang with the fastest sentry in the army.

At this time, Liu Hong had already begun to put pressure on He Jin, asking the General's Mansion to issue a letter before preparing for the battle, and removed Lu Zhi's position as a lieutenant general and replaced him with a top.

But it was at this time that Lu Zhi's resignation arrived in Luoyang, and He Jin did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly presented it to Liu Hong.

Lu Zhi's resignation is touching.

He first stated that he was unfavorable in supervising the battle, and did not defeat the enemy in a short period of time, and asked the Son of Heaven to take his position as a lieutenant general, and choose another person to replace him in battle.

Among them, he also played a brief account of the battle situation in Hebei, and put forward his own views on the main force besieging Zhangjiao, and asked Liu Hong to ask the next representative of the army to refer to and adopt it.

After watching Lu Zhi's recital, Liu Hong was silent on the spot.

If Lu Zhi doesn't resign, Liu Hong may feel that there is nothing wrong with it.

But now that Lu Zhi has played, and for the sake of the country and the people, Rao is the scheming emperor of Liu Hong, and he is somewhat unbearable in his heart.

The emperor slowly put down the music in his hand, and his face looked a little tired.

"Alas, this incident is because of me, and I treated Lu Qing poorly."

Liu Hong put down the slip in his hand and said with emotion: "But there are some things, I have to do it, I took advantage of this moth thief uprising, prolonged the family, and increased the tax by ten yuan per mu to think that the royal family repaired the palace, and it has been agreed by everyone in the court. ”

Zhang Rang said on the side: "Most of the world's acres of land are in the hands of the strong clan, my Han has always been a mouthful, heavy servitude, and the land tax is extremely low, and now the field rent is more than ten dollars into the South Palace, which is equivalent to squeezing out the wealth from the hands of the wealthy family, so the world's achievements, only Your Majesty can do it, and the old slave is deeply happy for Your Majesty!" As for Lu Shangshu's matter, hey, it should be regarded as his dedication to the country. ”

Liu Hong listened to Zhang Rang's praise of virtue and was quite pleased, and said: "It's just that Dong Zhuo, the former official of the Yuan family, is exchanging Lu Qing for this meritorious work of eliminating thieves, and the Yuan family will give it to them if they want to!" The credit of this world is that this one is not bad, as long as I can take out the money from them! ”

"However, on Lu Qing's side, how should I be appeased? It's hard after all. ”

Zhang Rang said: "Your Majesty, Lu Shangshu is expected to be in the sea, and he is full of enthusiasm for His Majesty, this time he took the initiative to resign from the post of Zhonglang General, which can be regarded as a solution to a problem for His Majesty, with the meaning of an old slave, Lu Shangshu's age is getting older, and Shangshutai has a lot of miscellaneous affairs, which is quite exhausting, Lu Shangshu has been able to overcome difficulties for His Majesty for more than ten years, and His Majesty is also time to give him a comfortable high position." ”

Liu Hong was stunned when he heard this.

Zhang Rang's words today are indeed in the emperor's heart.

He nodded with satisfaction and said, "In this way, Lu Qing can be moved to the position of two thousand stones in a large county to show the grace of heaven?" How is it? ”

"Your Majesty's Holy Judgment."

Liu Hong touched the beard on his chin and said: "Nanfang Prefecture, far away from Lu Qing's hometown, he is from Zhuo County, so in addition to Youzhou, you can find a large county in Hebei and take it as Taishou, or Jizhou or Qingzhou, so that it can not only be close to the countryside, but also enjoy it for the local Venerable, and also govern one side for me...... Well, as for the 20 million money for repairing the palace, I will charge him half less. ”

"Your Majesty is so sympathetic to your courtiers, and the ancient saints can't do it!"

……

……

Soon, at the behest of Liu Hong, the General's Mansion responded to Lu Zhi's resignation and temporarily transferred him back to Beijing, still serving as Shangshu, and waiting to be called.

And the person who took over the position of Lu Zhizhonglang to receive the great merit of breaking the yellow turban is Dong Zhuo, the Taishou of Hedong who has been flattering the Yuan family in the past three years, and at the same time showing his extraordinary ability.

Now that the Yellow Turban Army has been defeated again and again, in the eyes of everyone, Zhang Jiao is no longer in the climate, and after Lu Zhi is taken, no matter who comes up, he can easily defeat the main force of the Yellow Turban Army.

So, basically, whoever comes here is picking up a piece of credit for nothing.

After the imperial court appointed Dong Zhuo as the general of Zhonglang, it also passed down a decree, ordering Liu Jianjun, who was stationed in Wancheng, and Huangfu Song's army in Yingchuan, to lead his troops north into Hebei, responsible for recovering the remnants of the Yellow Turban after being defeated by Dong Zhuo;

As for Zhu Jun, he led his troops to clean up the local Yellow Turban thieves in the Central Plains counties.

Before Dong Zhuo fought against the Yellow Turbans, the General's Mansion issued an order to Liu Jian and Huangfu Song to go north to clean up the battlefield, which shows that the imperial court is full of confidence in Dong Zhuo's defeat of the Yellow Turban Army.

But what the court didn't expect was that Dong Zhuo, a ruthless man in Liangzhou who had won many battles in the border counties in the past, actually capsized this time.

Until Liu Jian's entourage crossed the Yellow River, he had not yet conquered the Yellow Turban, and he was still at a disadvantage, wasting a piece of hope and sustenance that the Yuan family treated him in vain.

The great credit, if Liu Jian and Huangfu Song arrived in Jizhou together, it is very likely that it will become shared by the three of them.

This greatly exceeded the Yuan family's expectations, if things really developed like this, then their investment loss this time would be large.

After all, this time, it was the vast number of high-ranking families and the world's heroes who used "real money" to exchange the Yuan family's dog for a splash of merit, so as to promote Dong Zhuo's military status and allow him to occupy the largest share in the "Han military field".

If the credit is divided between Liu Jian and Huangfu Song, then what is the point of replacing Lu Zhi with the commander?

Yuan Kui personally wrote to Dong Zhuo, scolding Dong Zhuo for being a bloody dog.

This time, Dong Zhuo couldn't refute the scolding, so he could only swallow helplessly, and then continued to raise a large army to attack the Yellow Turbans, and the Yellow Turban Army suffered heavy losses, but still did not win.

Until this time, everyone could see that Dong Zhuo alone could not take down the main force of the Yellow Turban.
