Liu Bei now felt that it was of great significance for him to send people to assassinate the three Zhang Jiao brothers in advance.
At least if Zhang Jue is alive, the Jizhou Yellow Turban Army will not split, and the limited force will not be dispersed into three groups, leaving Lu Zhi no chance to defeat each one.
Moreover, Zhang Jiao is still alive. With his appeal and prestige, the combat effectiveness of the Jizhou Yellow Turban Army is at least stronger than it is now, and it cannot be solved by this method of "extreme pressure".
The changes in history are clearly visible, all of this is so satisfactory, and what brought about all these changes were his many arrangements in advance.
The advantage of being one step ahead from the height of history is really huge.
But the prerequisite for achieving all this is to abide by the rules of the game at that time and use the rules of the game at that time to enter the top level of this circle.
Only in this way can we have enough time to look at problems and make plans from a historical perspective.
It can only be said that it is even more difficult.
Three days later, the Han army was almost done resting in Julu County, and everything that needed to be prepared was ready. In addition to the satisfaction of obtaining property, the Han soldiers also enjoyed hot meals and hot dishes for two days. After checking the nutrition needed by the body, morale is now strong and it is time to send troops.
At this time, Zuo Feng, the envoy of the Luoyang court, Xiaohuangmen, and Dongyuan staff arrived in Julu County in a hurry, and then looked at the recaptured Julu County in shock.
"Julu County...has been recovered?"
When he set out, the court was full of doubts about Lu Zhi. When he arrived, Julu County, which had not been captured for a long time, had been recaptured by Lu Zhi, which surprised him.
Lu Zhi was not surprised by Zuo Feng's arrival, so he asked Zuo Feng the purpose of coming here.
Zuo Feng had nothing to hide and directly told Lu Zhi what happened in the court. Only then did Lu Zhi learn what kind of slander Yang Ci had done to him.
He was very angry.
"Soldiers are the place of life and death, the way of survival. We must observe them. I am the commander-in-chief of the troops. I must be responsible to the soldiers and the court. Yang Ci has lived in Luoyang for a long time and has never been to the front line to observe the situation. He just said to the commander-in-chief Can the slander of the coach be recognized? If things go on like this, who else will dare to lead the army to fight for the country? Is it Yang Ci himself? "
Zuo Feng glanced at Liu Bei who was standing aside with an expressionless face. He didn't dare to say anything serious and could only keep his smile.
"What Mr. Lu said was true, but what Taiwei Yang said did cause a lot of controversy in the court. Many people in the court agreed with his opinions, so the emperor sent a villain to the army to observe the situation. He never thought about Julu The county seat has been captured, and Taiwei Yang is really worrying too much."
"He is more than worrying!"
Lu Zhi snorted coldly and said, "Is the angel here just for this matter?"
Zuo Feng shook his head.
"The emperor's edict requires the villain to bring back Lu Gong's next battle strategy, and the emperor very much hopes that Lu Gong can solve the Hebei war as soon as possible. It is reported that the Yuzhou war and the Yanzhou war are not going very well, so the emperor is more anxious... "
Thinking of Emperor Liu Hong, Lu Zhi's tone became calmer.
"Although the suppression of thieves is important, it does take time. Go back and tell the Emperor that the war in Hebei is under control. I have planned to divide the troops into two groups to destroy the remaining two groups of Yellow Turban thieves. If the battle goes well, we will be able to defeat them within two months. Please don’t be anxious when it comes to settling the war. The health of the Holy Body is the most important thing.”
Zuo Feng nodded in agreement, and then asked the army what else they needed.
Lu Zhi stated some of his needs for food and reward coins, and Zuo Feng said that he would report the truth to the emperor after he returned.
To be honest, Lu Zhi was a little surprised by this young eunuch's humble attitude.
In his impression, eunuchs would never treat scholars like him with such humility. They were usually bossy or arrogant. They must try to overpower the scholars and frustrate the spirit of the scholars, otherwise they would not be satisfied.
This group of physically disabled people are also psychologically abnormal. No matter what they do, it is possible in Lu Zhi's eyes.
However, this guy is so humble, and does not feel any embarrassment to himself. Instead, he seems to really just come to convey a message, and even come to solve his problem...
This is a bit unexpected.
However, Lu Zhi did not think deeply. There are all kinds of people among the eunuchs. Although there are few normal people, it is not impossible. For example, Lu Qiang seems to be a normal person. Could this little eunuch be Lu Qiang's person?
Lu Zhi really thought too much.
Because Zuo Feng's purpose of coming here was not for him. He just wanted to see him in passing. The main reason was to meet Liu Bei and convey the emperor's greetings and questions.
If Liu Bei's special identity hadn't been known to him, he wouldn't have been so polite to Lu Zhi.
Late that night, under Liu Bei's secret arrangement, Zuo Feng went to Liu Bei's military tent to pay homage to Liu Bei. As soon as they met, he gave Liu Bei a big gift and announced his identity.
"Are you from Dongyuan? No wonder, I thought you were just an envoy sent by His Majesty and Changshi Zhang."
Zuo Feng smiled.
"Because you are in the army, His Majesty and Chang Shi Zhang care about you very much, so they specially asked this servant to come to see you."
Liu Bei felt funny about this.
It was understandable that Liu Hong was worried about himself, but why was Zhang Rangji worried?
"Thank you, Your Majesty, Chang Shi Zhang for remembering me. I will thank them again when I get back."
Liu Bei smiled and said, "Are you here just to see if I am safe?"
"Of course there are more important things."
Zuo Feng said slowly: "There was a big quarrel in the court because Lu Gong surrounded Julu City and did not attack. It soon turned into a fight between the ancient literature school and the modern literature school. It was a chaotic time, but your majesty did not I’m not worried about it, I just miss you deeply.”
"Your Majesty, do you miss me?"
Liu Bei was quite moved, and then sighed slowly.
"Why don't I miss Your Majesty? It's just that I am busy with military duties and cannot return."
Left plump face smiles.
"Actually, His Majesty asked the villain to come not only to ask about the affairs of Julu County, but also because His Majesty felt that the war had been delayed for a long time and that you could not return to him quickly, so he was dissatisfied with this and specially asked the villain to come. Come and ask about the real situation and how long it will take before you can go back.”
Liu Bei was silent for a while.
"Actually, our army is already sure of victory in this battle. There have been internal strife and divisions among the Yellow Turban bandits. The originally weak force was split into three groups. Now one group has been wiped out by our army, while the other two groups just stood by and didn't care. , the friendly forces are in trouble and cannot move like mountains. If they don’t fail, does it mean that our sincerely united army has failed?”
Zuo Feng was very happy.
"That being the case, that means you can return to Luoyang soon?"
"I can't say it's quick, but it won't take a long time either."
Liu Bei nodded and said: "Didn't my teacher say that? Next, our army will be divided into two groups to conquer the two Yellow Turban thieves. One group will be led by the Hedong prefect and the bandit-defeating school captain Dong Zhuo, and the other group will be led by the teacher himself. Odds.
Even if there are minor twists and turns, I think that the Yellow Turban Thieves cannot become big, and the winner can be decided within a month at the earliest. But what is going on in the south? Did both Yuzhou and Yanzhou suffer setbacks? Are the Yellow Turban thieves over there that strong? "
Zuo Feng was a little helpless.
"I don't know what's going on. The two armies led by Zhu Zhonglang and Huangfu Zhonglang have not made much progress. The latest news I got before I left is this. I don't know what happened to me at the moment.
So His Majesty was very happy and full of expectations for your winning streak at first, so that after suddenly being surrounded and not attacking, something like that happened. "
