It turns out there is such a thing.
It has to be said that Yang Ci grasped this opportunity very cleverly, taking advantage of everyone's expectations to slander Lu Zhi, trying to achieve the effect of making a difference.
He really didn't do anything to this Han army, he just pointed the finger at Lu Zhi, obviously not wanting Lu Zhi to make contributions.
It seemed that Yang Ci still had the last bit of sanity.
Liu Bei nodded slowly.
"I see, I didn't expect this... So what is the situation in the court now?"
"His Majesty suspended the dispute between the two factions by deposing Sikong Zhangwen."
Zuo Feng whispered: "But both parties are not satisfied with this, and they have plans to continue fighting. Especially the debate between Yuan Wei and Yang Ci is the most intense, and it is almost to the point of taking action."
"Did Yang Ci initiate this matter?"
"yes."
Liu Bei nodded slowly, was silent for a while, and then said: "In this way, only the Modern Literature School did not really participate in this expedition. If the army wins, the Ancient Literature School will have the greatest advantage, so he will definitely not sit back and watch. Success or failure, something will definitely be done.”
"Do you have any ideas?"
Zuo Feng asked curiously.
Liu Bei smiled.
"No, you can tell Your Majesty when you go back that I don't have any opinion on this matter. Yang Ci's actions are aimed at the Ancient Literature School, which is certainly a good thing for Your Majesty. When snipes and clams fight, the fisherman benefits, and His Majesty is the one who benefits the most. I just I’m curious if Yang Ci fails with one move, and what new ideas he has for the next move.”
Zuo Feng nodded and soon put on a smile again.
"Actually, His Majesty still hopes that you can go back the most. In the days when you are away, I heard Zhang Changshi say that His Majesty talks about you and misses you every day. You are already in the heart of the Emperor, and you are a member of the Han Dynasty. Your future will be unlimited. , maybe in the future, many people will have to rely on your power to live."
Liu Bei smiled after listening to Zuo Feng's words that were obviously complimentary and flattering.
"Is this your opinion or Zhang Changshi's?"
Zuo Feng was stunned for a moment and smiled awkwardly.
"It's just a bad guy's quick talk, don't take it to heart."
Liu Bei didn't embarrass him either.
"Besides these, is there anything else you want to say to me? For example, is there anything Changshi Zhang wants to say to me?"
Zuo Feng was a little surprised.
"How do you know?"
Liu Bei looked mysterious.
"I'm just guessing."
Zuo Feng couldn't figure out Liu Bei's true thoughts, so he could only tell him honestly.
"Changshi Zhang asked me to tell you that he has large-scale industries and manors in many places in Jizhou and has made a lot of money. Moreover, the building regulations in some places are... not so appropriate. So, if you can If so, Changshi Zhang hopes that you can help cover up something."
"Okay, I remember Zhang Changshi is from Yingchuan. Why did all his family property come to Jizhou?"
Liu Bei joked: "You are really making things difficult for me in this regard. It's a good thing that this kind of thing has not been seen. My teacher hates evil as much as hatred and his temper is as fierce as fire. If he sees something unreasonable, he will definitely report it to His Majesty directly to heaven. I How can we stop it?"
"Zhang Changshi said that no one else can do anything, but you must have a way."
Zuo Feng said flatteringly: "Besides, Changshi Zhang and you are actually colleagues. If your colleagues are in trouble, you can help them. If you are in trouble in the future, Changshi Zhang will never stand by and watch."
Liu Bei looked at Zuo Feng, walked for a while, and then stopped.
"This is a good suggestion. I am very moved. In that case, I will go back and tell Zhang Changshi that I will stop him for this time. If anything happens to me in the future, he will also stop it for me."
"sure."
Zuo Feng was overjoyed when he achieved his goal.
Then, Liu Bei asked Zuo Feng some about the current situation of Luoyang City, then took out a silver ingot from his arms and handed it to him.
"Take it."
Zuo Feng looked at the silver ingot and then at Liu Bei, slightly hesitant.
"this……"
"Any meritorious deeds must be rewarded, and delinquencies must be punished. This is the rule of Dongyuan. Since you are from Dongyuan, and I am the deputy chief of Dongyuan, you are my subordinate. You must accept the things I give you." "Look, it's not easy to go out. Looking at your travel-worn appearance, it's been quite a hard journey all the way."
Zuo Feng's heart was beating wildly.
"Then... I'll just keep it."
Liu Bei nodded.
"Well, very good. You are still young and have a bright future waiting for you. Dongyuan is His Majesty's eyes, ears and minions. In the future, we will further expand our manpower and increase our establishment to intimidate the world. You must work seriously and diligently. Sincerely, the future will be equally limitless."
Liu Bei patted Zuo Feng on the shoulder with some intention, making Zuo Feng feel dizzy.
He was still feeling dizzy until he left the military camp.
He felt that he might have been favored by Liu Bei.
To be honest, he was promoted by Zhang Rang.
Ever since he was a little eunuch doing chores, Zhang Rang had taken a fancy to him, promoted him, and made him a confidant. Later, he also asked him to join Dongyuan to engage in some secret work, and he learned a lot of palace secrets.
Among them is the case of Liu Bei.
Although I don't know the specific content, Liu Bei, the rising star of the ancient literature school, somehow got mixed up with the emperor and Zhang Rang. No matter how you think about it, it feels strange.
Of course, this is not important. What is important is that Liu Bei is a clan member of the Han Dynasty, and Jane is in the heart of the emperor. Emperor Liu Hong cares about Liu Bei very much and has much trust in him. Even Zhang Rang admires this.
So Zuo Feng feels that sometimes people need to be more flexible.
It is often said in the world that many friends lead to many paths. Judging from what he has done, he can really be shattered into pieces if he is not careful.
Zhang Rang certainly has big legs, but these days, top politicians can fall anytime and anywhere. When they fall, the people around them will be unlucky, and the worst ones may even need to be buried with them.
For example, the former Taiwei Duan Juan, the former Sili Xiaowei Yangqiu, etc.
But Zuo Feng also saw with his own eyes that some people with good connections were able to escape from the golden cicada's shell and survive, and even thrive in a new place, all thanks to the foresight of Cunning Rabbit Sanku.
No matter when or where you are, you can't put your eggs in one basket. You must leave yourself a way out.
Zuo Feng, who has grown up in a deep palace since childhood and watched the ebb and flow of the tide with cold eyes, knows this truth well.
He soon left Julu City and returned to Luoyang to resume his duties. Lu Zhi also quickly divided his forces with Dong Zhuo to annihilate the other two main forces of the Yellow Turban Army, which had fallen into strategic decline.
According to the latest information, the left divine envoy Gao Zheng has a crowd of more than 100,000 and is operating near Gaoyi County in the Changshan Kingdom. The right divine envoy Yan Sheng also has a crowd of more than 100,000 and is operating in the Fuliu and Xindu counties of Anping Kingdom. Activity.
Of course, Lu Zhi didn’t believe this so-called crowd of more than 100,000 at all. The so-called crowd of more than 100,000 were mostly combatants, including the old, weak, women and children. There were only 20,000 soldiers who could actually fight. Even the people are nice.
According to the combat power of the Yellow Turban Army, Lu Zhi and Dong Zhuo each bringing 10,000 troops to deal with them would be considered overkill.
Lu Zhi and Liu Bei indeed fought and won consecutively.
Lu Zhi was still the same, appointing Liu Bei as the vanguard, and this time he gave Liu Bei a thousand troops and horses. A total of two thousand troops were given to Liu Bei to command. Liu Bei also handled the sudden increase in command troops very well. There was no hint of stage fright.
This army is the army led by Xu Xuan.
It has to be said that a series of previous actions have accumulated enough prestige and popularity for Liu Bei in this army, especially Xu Xuan, who has a good impression of Liu Bei.
Although this army has no connection with Liu Bei, it is willing to accept Liu Bei's command and obey his orders.
Because they think Liu Bei is fair and a man of his word.
