"Ziqian, what happened? You asked me to wait in such a hurry." Zhu Jun asked Lu Zhi angrily.
Everyone pricked up their ears when they heard Zhu Jun's words. After all, it must not be a small matter for Lu Zhi to call them all over in the middle of the night.
Lu Zhi looked around and found that the people had almost arrived, so he immediately said, "Let the two of you talk about the original road."
Lu Zhi did not directly answer Zhu Jun's question, but instead passed it to the two brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu.
"Everyone, news has just come from our Yuan family. The thief Zhang Jue died of illness in Puyang a few days ago." Yuan Shu came out first and said without even paying attention to Yuan Shao who was standing aside.
Yuan Shao stopped taking steps forward, his face turned green and dark, but he didn't say anything in front of outsiders.
Everyone was startled when they heard it, with a hint of disbelief. Although he knew that Lu Zhi called them all over in the middle of the night, something big must have happened, but he really didn't expect to hear such exciting news as soon as he arrived.
Li Xiang was overjoyed when he heard this. These Yuan brothers saved him a lot of trouble.
As for Zhang Jiao's death, Li Xiang naturally got the news earlier than the Yuan brothers when there was a floating house.
However, although Li Xiang had received the news, Li Xiang was struggling with how to convey the news to Lu Zhi and others without leaving any trace.
Naturally, it was impossible for Li Xiang to tell such important news directly. If this is the case, wouldn't it be equivalent to directly telling others that he has an intelligence organization in private?
If the existence of the Floating Water House is known to future enemies such as Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Jian in advance, these people will definitely take more precautions in the future. On the contrary, if the existence of the floating water house is hidden well, when dealing with these guys in the future, they will be able to be caught off guard.
Moreover, the big man has not yet completely come to an end. If the Han Dynasty knew that Li Xiang had established an intelligence agency that was already quite powerful, how would the Han Dynasty view Li Xiang? I'm afraid that by then the Han Dynasty will be suspicious of Li Xiang and even start to deal with him.
Now Li Xiang is not ready to fall out with the Han Dynasty. Obscene development is what Li Xiang has been doing now.
However, the Yuan family of four generations and three fathers should not be underestimated. Even though Li Xiang had spent a lot of effort on the floating house over the years, Li Xiang did not receive the news much earlier than the Yuan brothers.
"Is this true?" Zhu Jun on the side finally reacted to the shocking news, but still asked again in disbelief.
"Of course it's true. That Zhang Jiao thief did die of illness a few days ago. Moreover, there is news that the Yellow Turban Army outside the city seems to be retreating." This time, Yuan Shao was a step faster and immediately reacted to Yuan Shu's reaction. He answered directly before coming over.
"Huh." Everyone took a deep breath. It seemed that this horn was really dead. Once Zhang Jiao dies, a chain reaction will occur, and I am afraid that the offensive and defensive momentum between the Han Dynasty and the Yellow Turbans will be reversed in the future.
As for the Yellow Turban army outside the city wanting to retreat, no one was surprised. The Yellow Turban Army was launched using religious organizations and had a strong religious overtone. As a great sage and mentor, it is no exaggeration to say that Zhang Jiao is the spiritual support of these Yellow Turban believers.
Believers who have spiritual support are very scary, but success is also a problem, and failure is also a problem. Now that Zhang Jiao died suddenly, the blow to the Yellow Turban Army was definitely not that big. The morale and combat effectiveness of the Yellow Turban Army, who have lost their moral support, will definitely drop significantly.
Therefore, it would be abnormal if the Yellow Turban Army did not retreat at this time. In other words, the Yellow Turban Army had to retreat at this time and did not dare not to retreat.
"Ziqian, now that the Yellow Turban Army has changed so much, it should be time for us to fight back." As expected, it was Huangfu Song, a famous man in the late Han Dynasty, who hit the point in one sentence.
And this was the purpose of Lu Zhi calling everyone together at night.
"General, if we want to pursue, Cao Cao is willing to be the vanguard." Upon hearing Huangfu Song's words, Cao Cao was the first to react and immediately asked for orders.
"General, Sun Jian please be the vanguard."
"Dong Zhuo..."
…
The others' reaction was not slow and they immediately asked for help.
At this time, Cao Cao was not yet the traitor in troubled times in the future. In his early years, Cao Cao preferred to be a hero of the Han Dynasty. When he died, he engraved on his tombstone, "The tomb of Cao Hou, the general of the Han Dynasty in the West". This is already This is Cao Cao's greatest wish. Therefore, at this time, Cao Cao wanted to destroy the Yellow Turbans more out of loyalty.
Of course, in addition to Cao Cao, there are also people like Dong Zhuo who are more motivated by their own interests. At this time, the Yellow Turbans were just a pile of naked achievements in the eyes of people like Dong Zhuo. Moreover, in this way, there are not many opportunities to beat the drowned dog.
Li Xiang had no interest in the pursuit. Although Li Xiang is young, he still holds the position of Zhonglang General and is one of the people with the highest official positions in Chenliu City. Naturally, he will not seize the position of pioneer. I don’t see you, but the two lieutenants, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, are also staying safely behind.
Moreover, Li Xiang did not believe that with Chi You's presence, the Yellow Turban could really be manipulated by others as everyone thought. Although the Yellow Turbans' morale and combat effectiveness may have dropped significantly at this time, they will not completely lose their ability to fight.
If the pursuing Han army was careless and was tricked by Chi You, although it would not be a huge defeat, the losses would definitely not be small.
Of course, in this large tent, besides Li Xiang, there was one person who did not come forward to ask for orders, and this person was Liu Bei.
In fact, Liu Bei was also helpless at this time. If Li Xiang was simply not interested in pursuing the pursuit, then Liu Bei was powerless.
Liu Bei is just a rebel leader now. Without Lu Zhi, he is not qualified to live with everyone. Moreover, Liu Bei's hundreds of volunteers had long been beaten to death in successive battles. At this time, Liu Bei was just a polished commander.
Although if Liu Bei is really required to pursue him, Lu Zhi will definitely provide Liu Bei with all his soldiers. But if he is not one of his own, Liu Bei may not be able to command like an arm. And at this critical moment, the consequences of such a big mistake are also huge.
Although Liu Bei was also jealous of this credit, he really couldn't get it.
"Mengde, this time you will be the chief general and Wentai will be the deputy general. We will lead an army of 30,000 people and set off immediately. We will arrive soon." Lu Zhi said thoughtfully.
In the end, Lu Zhi finally chose Cao Cao and Sun Jian. Of these two people, one is strategic and the other is good at fighting. Lu Zhi is still very relieved about this combination.
