"Yun Chang, the holy decree and the seal ribbon are true, which can be regarded as Xuande's heart disease." Lu Zhi sighed lightly: "But in this way, Xuande is no longer suitable to crusade against Dong Zhuo in the name of King Qin." ”

"Are you going to withdraw your troops back to Qingzhou?"

Liu Ai's round trip, how could Lu Zhi not know as the commander of the three armies?

But Lu Zhi did not interfere because of this!

The appointment of Qingzhou Mu is too important for the current Liu Bei.

If there is no identity of Qingzhou Mu, Liu Bei will always be just a hypocrite!

Lu Zhi, Kong Rong and others can recommend Liu Bei as the history of Qingzhou, and Yuan Shao and others can also recommend others as the history of Qingzhou.

And Qingzhou, which is already walking on thin ice under Liu Bei's hard work, will fall into turmoil again!

Guan Yu shook his head: "Master Lu, although my brother is not suitable to crusade against Dong Zhuo in the name of King Qin, I don't have this scruples. ”

"Huh?" Lu Zhi didn't know Zheng Ping's private instructions to Guan Yu: "Yun Chang, why is this?" If you want to leave, the old man will not blame you. ”

Guan Yu said frankly: "When I said goodbye to my brother outside Yecheng, Mr. Xianmou told me. ”

"There are two things that must be done when I come to Luoyang this time."

"The first is to get the edict of Qingzhou Mu for my brother; The second is to let Zong Zhengqing determine the genealogy of the clan and edict the name of the elder brother and the Han family. ”

"But Dong Zhuo will definitely not give benefits for no reason, so Mr. Xianmou gave me an idea: before the edict, the soldiers will not move, and the military orders outside will not be accepted; When the edict is in hand, obey the military order, forbid the general, and kill those who speak falsely. ”

"Now that the edict is in hand, according to military law, Master Lu should blame me for the crime of fornicating with Dong Zhuo, or beheading or reproaching, it is up to Master Lu to say a word."

Lu Zhi was slightly startled, and instantly understood what Guan Yu meant.

Although Guan Yu came to King Qin on behalf of Liu Bei, the coach of King Qin this time was Lu Zhi.

According to military law, Lu Zhi can directly behead Guan Yu, who fornicated with Dong Zhuo, to correct military law.

"Xianmou really still likes to cheat, and it's all deceived Dong Zhuo."

"But it's just an ordinary punishment, which may not make Dong Zhuo believe, and the reason is too far-fetched."

"Dong Zhuo can completely show the Son of Heaven to invalidate this edict before it reaches Qingzhou."

"If there is no angel from Chang'an to go to Qingzhou to read the edict, even if Yun Chang has this holy decree and seal sent by Liu Ai in his hand, it will be lacking after all."

Lu Zhi groaned.

After all, Liu Ai sent an edict, and he couldn't prevaricate with a few simple words.

"I want Dong Zhuo to believe that this is also simple." Guan Yu clenched his fists and asked: "You can use the bitter meat meter!" ”

Lu Zhi was taken aback: "Bitter meat plan? Yun Chang, if you use bitter meat, you can't fool Dong Zhuo if you don't suffer some hardships! ”

Guan Yu said awe-inspiringly: "For the sake of my brother's great cause, and for Master Lu to find more fighters in the next battle against Dong Zhuo, what is the point of a little flesh and skin?" ”

Lu Zhi hesitated: "Yun Chang, now that the holy decree and the seal ribbon have been received, as long as it is quickly sent to Qingzhou to let Xuande spread to all counties, even if Dong Zhuo repents, it will be difficult to change the order." ”

Guan Yu's eyes were firm: "As Master Lu said, the transmission of the counties by the elder brother is always more convincing than the angels appointed by Chang'an to go to Qingzhou to announce the decree!" ”

"Master Lu, you have advised to learn: the heavens will descend on the people, and they must first suffer their minds, strain their muscles and bones, starve their bodies and skins, empty their bodies, and act chaotically, so they are tempted to endure and benefit what they can't."

"As Master Lu's protégé, how can he not even dare to bear this little bit of flesh and skin?"

"Liu Aishang is still in the army, and this is the most appropriate time to do a bitter trick!"

Lu Zhi exhaled a long breath, and looked at Guan Yu with unbearable eyes.

But just as Guan Yu said: one is more justified for Liu Bei Qingzhou Mu, and the other is for Lu Zhi to find fighters, this bitter plan, Guan Yu must use it!

"Someone!"

Lu Zhi suddenly shouted.

The four tiger guards outside the tent heard the order to enter the tent.

"Drag Guan Yu out and behead him!"

This sudden military order stunned the four tiger guards.

Dragged Guan Yu out and beheaded?

You heard that right!

Hu Wei looked at each other and looked at Lu Zhi in astonishment.

"What are you doing? Want to disobey? Lu Zhi scolded sharply.

The four tiger guards shivered one after another, and stubbornly pressed Guan Yu's arms.

Guan Yu knelt on one knee at this time and bowed to Lu Zhi: "Master Lu, I am my brother, and I have no regrets in my death!" ”

Lu Zhi pretended to be angry: "What a good one who has no regrets for your brother's death, is this the reason why you fornicated with Dong Zhuo?" Immediately drag Guan Yu out and beat the drums to gather the generals! ”

The drums beat.

The generals came to the tent one after another.

But he was horrified to see that outside the handsome tent, Guan Yu was kneeling in front of the severed stake, and the four tiger guards were preparing to be executed.

Koji Yi, Cao Bao and Tian Yu were shocked, and they didn't understand what the situation was at all.

"Lu Shangshu, what crime did General Guan commit, and you actually wanted to behead him?" Koji Yi was the first to come out and stared at Lu Zhi fiercely.

If it had nothing to do with Yu, Koji Yi would have died under the ambush carefully prepared by Huangfu Song.

If it is not related to Yu, even if Koji escapes, the Xiandeng Shi under his command will be wiped out.

Koi Yi already regards Guan Yu as a brother in life and death, where is he willing to let Lu Zhi kill Guan Yu!

Lu Zhi's face was unhappy, and he said coldly: "Captain Koji, Guan Yu fornicated with Dong Zhuo, and he should be beheaded according to the law, do you want to intercede for him?" ”

Fornication with Dong Zhuo?

How is this possible?

Whether it is Liyi Cao Baotian Yu or the rest of the generals, it is hard to believe!

"Master Lu, is there any misunderstanding in this? Maybe it's Dong Zhuo's discord plan. Tian Yu hurriedly came out to persuade.

Cao Bao also said: "Lu Shangshu, General Guan has no possibility of selfishly communicating with Dong Zhuo, please be aware of it." ”

The generals in the army also spoke out one after another to persuade each other.

But Lu Zhi took out the holy decree and seal ribbon sent by Liu Ai, and said coldly: "If there is no evidence, how can you ask for guilt!" Do the generals think that the old man is not a good and bad person? ”

"Dong Zhuo's long history Liu Ai is now in Guan Yu's camp!"

"This is Dong Zhuo's edict and seal that promised to canonize Liu Bei as the pastor of Qingzhou, and the condition is to let Guan Yu withdraw and return to Qingzhou!"

"It's hateful that the old man treats Guan Yu like a son, and he doesn't hesitate to teach him what he has learned all his life, and now he wants to retire and return to Qingzhou for Dong Zhuo's promise, is it worthy of the old man's training?"

"If you don't kill Guan Yu, how can you get rid of hatred!"

Tian Yu was shocked, and hurriedly came to Guan Yu and asked, "Second brother, is what Master Lu said true?" Did you really promise Dong Zhuo? How can you be worthy of Master Lu in doing this? ”

Guan Yu closed his eyes and exhaled a long breath: "Guorang, Guan Mou acted only for his brother, and he was ashamed of Master Lu, and he had to die." ”

Seeing that Guan Yu confessed to fornicating with Dong Zhuo, Tian Yu suddenly didn't know what to do.

Cao Bao was also at a loss.

If Dong Zhuo can still be persuaded if he is separated, this Guan Yu has admitted it, how can he be persuaded?

"Good, good! Is the old man's kindness to you still not as good as your brother? Lu Zhi was so angry that his beard blew up: "Knife and axeman, what are you still doing in a daze?" Since you want to die quickly, then the old man will fulfill you! ”

"Master Lu, be merciful under the knife!" Tian Yu hurriedly knelt in front of Lu Zhi: "Master Lu, please look at the thin noodles in the past, and spare the second brother once." The second brother did this for Liu Yuanjun, and he was selfless! ”

The generals knelt on the ground and pleaded for mercy.

Lu Yi was even more direct: "Lu Shangshu, if I kill that Liu Ai, can I spare General Guan's life?" ”

As soon as the words fell, Guan Yu suddenly burst out: "Lu Yi, if you dare to kill Liu Ai and ruin my brother's big business, Guan Mou is inseparable from you!" ”

Lu Yi was dumbfounded by the reprimand, and his temper was also up: "Guan Yu, I'm saving you!" ”

"Guan doesn't need you to save him!" Guan Yu Danfeng's eyes widened: "My brother is based in Qingzhou, and he has always been walking on thin ice, just because his Qingzhou Thorn History is just a false position, and the new Qingzhou Thorn Shi may expel Qingzhou at any time." ”

"Now that I have finally obtained the edict and seal of the Son of Heaven, my brother can justifiably order the counties of Qingzhou, Guan would rather die than allow anyone to destroy it!"

Koji Yi was so angry that he gritted his teeth: "Guan Yu, is the edict of the Son of Heaven so important?" If you really want it, when you break Chang'an, you can get it, why ask Dong Zhuo for it! ”

Guan Yu said in a condensed voice: "Koji Yi, you don't understand!" Entering Chang'an is not something that can be done in a year and a half, and brother, I can't wait too long. ”

After speaking, Guan Yu turned around and lay his head on the guillotine pile: "Please cut it quickly!" ”

Lu Zhi was already so angry that he was almost out of breath: "Good, good, good!" Since you want to die quickly, the old man should not have you as a protégé! ”

In Guan Yu's camp, Liu Ai, who had not seen Guan Yu come back for a long time, heard the noise outside the tent and the whispering of the sergeant, and his face suddenly changed.

"Lu Zhi wants to kill Guan Yu?"

"How is this possible?"

Liu Ai hurriedly followed the sergeant closer, but saw Guan Yu lying on the guillotine pile, and the generals were pleading with Lu Zhi.

"It's bad, Guan Yu must have gone to Lu Zhi to identify the authenticity of the holy decree and the seal, and then angered Lu Zhi." Liu Ai was suddenly a little anxious.

Although he has been Dong Zhuo's long history, Liu Ai is not in the same league as Dong Zhuo.

Just like the first time Liu Ai saw Guan Yu defend himself, he was Dong Zhuo's long history under the order of the Son of Heaven!

Liu Ai has his own way of being loyal to the king!

agreed to Guan Yu's conditions and persuaded Dong Zhuo to let the Han family have one more clan minister with outstanding ability.

This is very beneficial to the Son of Heaven.

It can be said that the reason why Dong Zhuo was able to agree to Guan Yu's conditions so readily was inseparable from Liu Ai's persuasion!

Thinking of this, Liu Ai couldn't hold back any longer, and asked, "Lu Zhi, do you want to disobey the holy order?" ”

Lu Zhi's eyes were cold: "Liu Ai, you still dare to come out?" The old man can't wait to kill you here! ”

Liu Ai sneered: "I am a member of the Liu clan, the chief of the Xiangguo personally appointed by the Son of Heaven." If you want to behead me, have you asked the opinion of the Son of Heaven? ”

Lu Yi directly drew his knife and shouted angrily: "It turned out that you were a villain who was doing the trouble, if it weren't for General Guan to protect you, I would have to kill you today!" ”

Liu Ai ignored Lu Yi and looked directly at Lu Zhi with his eyes: "Lu Zhi, do you really want to kill the courtiers that the Son of Heaven wants to canonize in front of the messenger of the Son of Heaven?" ”

Lu Zhi clenched his fists and exhaled deeply: "Liu Ai, this is the old man's barracks!" ”

"But I am an envoy of the Son of Heaven!" Liu Ai was not afraid: "Didn't you say King Qin?" Believe it or not, I have participated in your sin before the Son of Heaven. Does the Son of Heaven believe in you or me? ”

Lu Zhi's face kept changing, and he suddenly shouted: "Come on, hang Guan Yu up, and take a hundred military sticks seriously!" The messenger of the Son of Heaven, do you still want to prevent the old man from punishing the following sins? ”

"Liu Ai, do you want to stay and see how the old man is executed?"

Liu Ai saw that Lu Zhi was relieved, knowing that if he stayed here, Guan Yu would be more blamed, so he immediately shook his sleeves and said: "Lu Zhi, if Guan Yu dies, even if you break Chang'an, the Son of Heaven will condemn you for disobedience!" ”

"We'll see!"

But before Liu Ai could take a few steps, Lu Zhi shouted: "Execution!" ”

Seeing that the military stick that barely had any strength hit Guan Yu, Liu Ai was so angry that his chest rose and fell.

"Lu Zhi, old horseman, for his own selfish interests, he is bad for the Son of Heaven!"

"We must persuade the Taishi to send an envoy to Qingzhou as soon as possible."

Liu Ai quickly returned to Luoyang City and informed Dong Zhuo of the information that Guan Yu was almost beheaded by Lu Zhi.

Dong Zhuo was shocked: "Long history, Lu Zhi's old horseman, really want to kill Guan Yu?" It can't be done on purpose for you, right? ”

Liu Ai shook his head, and his tone was more resentful: "There will be no fake, all the generals in the army are pleading for mercy, and they even want to kill me." ”

"If I hadn't threatened Lu Zhi and said that if I killed Guan Yu, I would definitely be guilty of disobedience in front of the Son of Heaven, and Guan Yu would have been beheaded on the spot."

"But even so, Guan Yu was beaten with a hundred military sticks by Lu Zhi on the following charges, and Lu Zhi's old fellow deliberately beat Guan Yu's military stick when he drove me out of the camp, as if I wouldn't hear it."

"Taishi, now that the holy decree and the seal ribbon have fallen into the hands of Lu Zhi, Lu Zhi will definitely not send them back to Qingzhou."

"I thought that we should immediately send an envoy from Chang'an to Qingzhou to announce the decree, and at the same time tell Liu Bei that Lu Zhi was going to kill Guan Yu."

Dong Zhuo carefully interrogated Liu Ai about the details, and when he saw that there was indeed nothing suspicious in this, he couldn't help but sneer: "Lu Zhi, old horseman, this is ready to make a desperate bet." ”

"I'd rather offend Liu Bei than crusade against this Taishi in the name of King Qin."

"He really thinks he can win this master?"

"Liu Ai, you personally go to Qingzhou to announce the decree!"

When Liu Ai left, Li Ru on the side said quietly: "Taishi, there may be fraud in this, beware of Lu Zhi's tricks and acting in such a play for Liu Ai!" ”

Dong Zhuo sneered: "Wen You is too worried!" Master Ben has already promised, why should Guan Yu play a play with Master Ben again? What's in it for them? ”

Li Ru's eyes were gloomy: "Taishi, what if Lu Zhi wanted Taishi to think that Guan Yu could be an internal response, so he deliberately played a bitter trick?" ”

"Liu Ai's anger doesn't look like he is cheating, then it can be inferred that Guan Yu was really beaten by Lu Zhi with a hundred military sticks!"

"However, from the point of view of common sense: even if Liu Bei is edicted, at most Guan Yu will be allowed to withdraw his troops, and Lu Zhi will make the rest of the soldiers chill if he blames Guan Yu like this."

"There are also rumors that Guan Yu is Lu Zhi's protégé, and if he cooperates with Lu Zhi before this withdrawal, presumably Guan Yu will not refuse."

"If something goes wrong, there must be a conspiracy."

"The master must not be cautious."

After listening to Li Ru's analysis, Dong Zhuo's eyes became playful: "Bitter meat plan? If there is really a bitter plan, then the Taishi will not have to be so troublesome. ”

"Bring Huangfu Song up."
