Huangfusong was anxious to express himself, so he used ruthless iron-blooded methods to build the Jingguan.
This is not like his uncle Huangfu Gui, one of the Three Ming Dynasties in Liangzhou. Huangfu Gui has the style of a Confucian general and does not like killing. He advocates the use of both suppression and appeasement.
Huangfu Song is like the dead former Taiwei Duan Jiong. Duan Jiong liked to use iron and blood methods to conquer the Qiang people, and he frequently killed his clan members and killed countless people.
Liu Hong was a little surprised when he faced the murderous Huangfu Song, but before he could speak, Lu Zhi stood up.
"No, the purpose of the crusade against the rebellion is to prevent the rebellion from happening again, not to kill all the rebels. Jingguan is fierce and harms the peace of the world. If you can, don't use it. In the crusade against the rebellion, you should use both hardness and softness, suppression and appeasement. Don’t just pursue killing.”
Huangfusong knew that Lu Zhide was highly respected and an important figure in the ancient literature school.
But as a Liangzhou native, even the Ancient Literature School was unwilling to accept him, and he couldn't get into that circle at all. He was also a member of the eunuch group, so he certainly didn't look kindly on Lu Zhi.
"The reason why some people rebel is because they have no sense of awe and do not know the majesty of God. Therefore, we must use resolute means to let them know the majesty of God and the majesty of the Emperor. Only in this way can these unruly people change their ways. ."
"It's fear, not awe."
Lu Zhi did not back down and said loudly: "Awe can only be formed by using law and benevolent government. Jingguan can only bring fear and anger. Since ancient times, I have never heard that building a Jingguan can make people feel awe."
Huangfusong was very unhappy.
"Lu Lingjun is a great scholar in the country. He is well-read in poetry and books, and has profound knowledge. He is ignorant and ashamed of himself. However, those unscrupulous people are probably like him. They are ignorant of laws and benevolent governance. Could it be that Lu Lingjun is planning to do something in Jizhou?" Open an Imperial Academy and take in all the rebellious and unruly people and teach them how to read?"
Huangfusong's cynicism made many people who were unhappy with Lu Zhi laugh secretly.
Lu Zhi was very angry, with a serious face, and was about to angrily rebuke Huangfu Song for his sneaky concept, but Liu Bei stepped forward first.
When the teacher is humiliated, the disciples should step forward bravely to defend the teacher from humiliation, and Liu Bei has never liked Huangfu Song, a timid butcher.
"Mr. Huangfu said that he was uneducated and incompetent. I thought he was being modest at first, but I never thought that Mr. Huangfug was a hero with self-awareness. I really admire him."
Huangfusong's face turned cold.
"Liu Xuande, what do you mean?"
"Huangfu Gong's angle of solving problems is very strange."
Liu Bei sneered: "If you don't solve the problem, but specifically solve the person who raised the problem, it seems that the problem will disappear. But Huangfu Gong, if you don't solve the problem, this problem will torture you again and again and bring up more problems." Problem people.
One Jingguan can shock once, two Jingguan can shock twice, and three Jingguan can shock three times, but the problem is not solved. In this way, sooner or later, the territory of the Han Dynasty will be full of Jingguan and Huangfu. A symbol of the glory of the Duke, Huangfu Gong will definitely leave his name in history! "
When Huangfusong heard someone's suppressed laughter, he blushed and pointed at Liu Bei and scolded him angrily.
"You kid with a bad mouth, you can only use your words! Since you don't accept X's plan, why don't you tell me something!"
"The teacher didn't say anything. As a disciple, how can I overstep my bounds?"
Liu Bei smiled, retreated behind Lu Zhi, and remained silent.
Huangfusong was very angry, but couldn't get angry.
Lu Zhi nodded with satisfaction, looked at Liu Bei appreciatively, then turned his attention to Liu Hong, and bowed again.
"Your Majesty, I also have a plan."
Liu Hong was very satisfied with Liu Bei's performance. He felt that what Liu Bei said was very impressive and felt happy, so he nodded.
"Lu Lingjun, please speak."
"only."
Lu Zhi said: "The most important thing about the current situation is not actually the chaos in Jizhou. There is only one bandit army on the Taiping Road in Jizhou. It is not difficult to send the Jizhou governor to lead the troops to annihilate it. The most critical issue at the moment is that the remaining seven states have Taiping Road thieves.
According to the account of the horse thief, the plan put forward by the thief Zhangjiao was to launch a rebellion in the eight states of the Han Dynasty on the same month and the same day, and even launch a rebellion in Luoyang to harm the emperor. With such power, once it happened, the consequences would be disastrous.
Fortunately for your majesty, the thief Zhangjiao died suddenly. Besides the thieves in Jizhou, the thieves in the other seven states did not know about this matter. If they did not know, they would not be able to coordinate their troops to cause rebellion. The threat from the Taiping Dao thieves Greatly reduced.
Despite this, those thieves still exist. There are more than 10,000 people in Dafang in the thirty-six squares, six to seven thousand in Xiaofang, and a manpower of three to four hundred thousand. Once they learn that Zhang Jiao is dead, many people will choose to immediately If they cause chaos, the situation will still not look good. "
After Lu Zhi analyzed it, everyone present nodded.
Liu Hong also understood and couldn't help but sigh.
"God bless us Han, our ancestors have appeared, and the leader of the thieves died suddenly. Otherwise, it's hard to say what the situation would have been like."
The group of people sighed for a while, and then Lu Zhi spoke again.
"The only plan now is...only...to strike preemptively! Quickly mobilize troops and generals to attack the states and counties to wipe out the rebels!"
When he said this, a trace of hesitation and struggle flashed across Lu Zhi's face, as if what he was saying now was not what he really wanted to say.
But he said it anyway.
Liu Bei knew the reason.
Because Lu Zhi's own strategy was not to preemptively dispatch troops at all. The strategy he first proposed was to secretly order the local governments to send people to capture the Taiping Dao leaders in various places, and capture the thieves first and capture the king first. No matter how successful they were, they would do it first.
In this way, at least half of the local layout of Taiping Road can be abolished in one wave, and the remaining half can be solved with troops. In this way, the Yellow Turban Rebellion can be solved at the minimum cost.
However, during the internal meeting of the Ancient Literature School, this suggestion was rejected.
Everyone knows that this suggestion is a good suggestion and it is indeed the right thing to do, but this suggestion was still rejected.
the reason is simple.
Yang Ci has already come up with this strategy. Yang Ci has already told the court to be careful about Taiping Dao. He noticed the threat of Taiping Dao earlier than anyone else, so Yang Ci and his Yang family are actually in this situation. Standing in an invincible position.
There are indeed people within the Modern Literature School who have a close relationship with Taiping Dao, and some even join Taiping Road, but the number is much smaller than that of the Ancient Literature School.
From Lu Zhi's professional perspective, Yang Ci's suggestion is also very correct. If you follow it, the results will be great.
But the crux of the problem is not here, but that this strategy was proposed by Yang Ci, who was the common mortal enemy of the ancient literature school.
How can we use the tactics proposed by the enemy to do things?
Even if this strategy is really easy to use, even if this strategy is really meaningful, it can minimize casualties and losses, solve the Yellow Turban Rebellion at the minimum cost, and keep as many people alive as possible!
We absolutely can’t use it either!
Because that is a strategy proposed by our mortal enemy. We will oppose everything he proposes and sing against him!
Zheng Xuan was unhappy with this statement, but he felt quite disheartened by the current situation, so he did not express his opinion.
Lu Zhi's persistence alone was no match for everyone's opinions, including Yuan Wei and Xun Shuang, who all urged Lu Zhi not to use Yang Ci's method to make Yang Ci perform meritorious service, and to never commit any obvious act of capitalizing on the enemy.
Otherwise, how could Lu Zhi gain a foothold within the Ancient Literature School?
Lu Zhi was in pain and confusion, and told Liu Bei about his pain and confusion. As a teacher, he actually had to seek answers from his disciples on this issue.
What answer can Liu Bei give him?
This is a question with only one correct option, and there can be no other answers. Otherwise, Lu Zhi will lose everyone's trust in the ancient literature school, will be reprimanded, will be excluded, and will be isolated.
Personal glory, the future of the family, and the future of the disciples will all be lost.
Something as heavy as a mountain pressed on Lu Zhi's shoulders, making him breathless, so Lu Zhi did not have the courage to make other decisions.
Before entering the palace, Lu Zhi asked Liu Bei one last time.
"Xuande, am I doing this right?"
Liu Bei's answer to him was equally clear.
"For the ancient school of scripture, there is no doubt that it is correct."
