Chapter 63 - Unshakable Old Marshal Lu

That night, more than a dozen knights galloped out of Hulao Pass and headed towards various places, announcing the victory of Qingzhou, all the prefectures and counties were immediately boosted.

Guangzong, the official army camp.

General He Jin closed the eight passes near Luoyang, and sent three Zhonglang generals from the left, right, and north to lead the elite soldiers of the two armies, the Sanhe knights, to attack the Yellow Turban bandits.

And it was Lu Zhi, the Minister of the Dynasty who was in charge of breaking the bandits in Hebei, who also served as the general of Beizhong Lang.

Lu Zhi is a well-known Confucian scholar in the world. He led the army to suppress the rebellion in his early years, and he is a generation with both civil and military skills in the court. Lu Zhi was well versed in the art of war, and defeated the Yellow Turban bandits with a weak force in several battles, and then built a camp to surround Guangzong County. Rao Zhang Liang, the so-called General Rengong, with 80,000 troops, was trapped and guarded the isolated city. Light out.

A knight came galloping from the south. It seemed that he had crossed the river from the Central Plains. With brightly colored decorations on his shoulders and helmet, he didn't look like an ordinary soldier.

The knight galloped into Lu Zhi's camp, and soon there was a burst of laughter.

"Okay, good! I don't want Gong Jing to take away the great achievement of breaking the thief. Yizhen and Gongwei are holding back their energy to compete with a certain one. I don't want Qingzhou to take the lead in breaking the thief."

Lu Zhi was wearing iron armor and holding a court notice in his hand. Although his face was a little old, he was still full of energy. It was obvious that many days of hard work did not consume much energy, and he showed the demeanor of a Confucian general.

Zhu Jun, Huangfusong, and Lu Zhi are old friends, and they all had the experience of leading troops to suppress rebellion. Therefore, before leading troops out of Luoyang, the three of them met in private, and even agreed to have a competition to see who could win. First of all, overcome the thieves and win the first power of the universe.

As a result, the three of them had no choice but to advance steadily because the thieves were very powerful. Unexpectedly, Qingzhou, which no one could control, was the first to defeat the yellow turban thieves.

But Lu Zhi shook his head: "No, Gong Jing has never led an army, so it cannot be due to this person, unless a young general with the appearance of a famous general stands out, who is waiting?"

After finishing speaking, Lu Zhi continued to look down, and when he saw the last few lines, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he smiled softly, with a look of reassurance on his face.

"Although a certain man gave lectures, there were only two people with great ambitions. One was Bogui, and the other was Xuande. Now that Xuande has conquered Qingzhou, Qianlong is just around the corner. This Liu Ye is famous in his book, but he can be regarded as a fierce general. Putting down the Yellow Turban bandits in Jinan is probably the power of this man, even though the great man is suffering from wars, there are so many heroes, why worry about the world's injustice?"

Just when Lu Zhi was very pleased, one of his subordinates, General Xiao, walked into the tent and clasped his hands together.

"General! Your Majesty's angel, Eunuch Zuo Feng, came to inspect and ask to see the general."

Lu Zhi frowned, he was already dissatisfied with the Ten Permanent Attendants luring the emperor into rebellion, and this Zuo Feng was a man under Zhao Zhong's command, and now that he came to the barracks, there might be nothing good for him.

"Hmph, the big army camp is full of anger."

Lu Zhi snorted, opened the tent door with a wave of his hand, and walked out quickly.

I saw a short, fair-faced, beardless, and flat-throated eunuch walking slowly under the protection of two guards. Lu Zhi frowned, but still took a step forward, full of vigor.

"A certain is Lu Zhi, general of Beizhong Lang. I don't know what is the purpose of His Majesty sending your father-in-law here?"

That Zuo Feng smiled softly, pinched an orchid and pointed: "General Lu, His Majesty sent our family here to review the military situation and report back to Luoyang. General Lu must have known about the news of the Qingzhou victory a few days ago."

Lu Zhi nodded: "That's right, the great victory in Qingzhou, all the officers and soldiers of a certain battalion are gearing up and waiting to make meritorious deeds, father-in-law, come with me."

After finishing speaking, Lu Zhi was followed by more than a dozen soldiers, with iron armor clanging, and they put their backs on the horse, while Zuo Feng was stunned: "General Lu, this is?"

Lu Zhi's face remained unchanged: "Isn't the angel going to review the military situation? A certain soldier set up a military camp to besiege Guangzong City, and asked the angel to ride around the city for a week, and the military situation will naturally be known."

Zuo Feng's face turns green and pale: "Our family, our family is not a warrior, how can we know how to ride a horse?"

Lu Zhi sneered: "That's it, come and help the angel mount the horse, hold him hostage, and go to Guangzong City!"

Zuo Feng didn't have time to object, two Sanhe knights rushed over, and threw Zuo Feng onto the horse without saying a word, the two grabbed Zuo Feng's arm, one left and one right, galloped the horse, and more than ten riders galloped out of the camp .

Guangzong City is a county seat. Although it is rich, the city is not big. Therefore, Lu Zhi mobilized more than 4,000 troops from the vicinity of Jizhou with more than 6,000 northern troops. Ten thousand people can besiege Guangzong City on all sides.

It is reasonable to say that there are three ques and one, but Zhang Liang has long been beaten by Lu Zhi and has lost his temper, so he had to be trapped in the isolated city.

After more than ten riders ran out of the camp, and ran around the four walls of Guangzong City, Lu Zhi turned around with vigor: "How is the military situation of the angel?"

Zuo Feng was pampered and pampered in the palace. Wherever he rode a war horse, his butt was suddenly aching. Hearing Lu Zhi's question, he managed to force a smile: "Not bad, not bad. General Lu is besieged on all sides, and the yellow scarf thieves dare not go out to fight."

Lu Zhi laughed: "Since that's the case, I won't stay any longer. Your Majesty definitely wants to know the military situation in Hebei as soon as possible. When you go back, just tell your Majesty that within three months, you will be successful!"

Zuo Feng smiled: "General Lu Lian is not old, our family admires him very much, as long as General Lu shows a little bit, won't our family say more good things about General Lu?"

Lu Zhi smiled slightly: "Come here, send the angel out of the camp."

Zuo Feng was taken aback, this Lu Zhi was too unscrupulous, why didn't he get some money for himself, and drove the guests out?

The two knights held Zuo Feng hostage again without saying a word, and rushed out of the camp like the wind. The bumpy Zuo Feng couldn't help crying out. Seeing this scene, the generals in the camp burst into laughter.

You must know that Emperor Ling favored the ten servants, treated the army poorly, and deducted food and pay. This time, because he had to pay in full to suppress the bandits, the soldiers of the Northern Army had long been dissatisfied.

However, some generals came up to him: "General, Zuo Feng is the emperor's servant after all, so it's better for the last general to catch up."

Lu Zhi frowned, glanced at him, and said coldly: "Huh! The army is not enough, and the men who dare to fight are still lacking. How can you have enough money to worship the angels?"

Hearing Lu Zhi's words, the officer, the general, couldn't help but flushed with shame: "What the general said is true, the general will be convicted, and he will fight to the death in the future to stop the yellow scarf bandits."

The generals of the three armies shouted in unison: "Fight to the death, destroy the thief!"

The majesty of the mighty army shook the field, and the yellow scarf bandits in Guangzong City were terrified: The official army is going to attack the city?

But Zuo Feng bumped all the way, his butt hurt from the shock, and he was furious.

"Lu Ziqian, you old murderer, if our family doesn't pull you off the horse, how can we go back to Beijing with dignity!"

It was night, Zuo Feng returned to Beijing overnight, while Lu Zhi was supervising the army and actively preparing for the battle.
