After seven days of confrontation between the government troops and the Yellow Turban Army at the Yellow Sun Pavilion, the imperial court sent Zuo Feng to observe the military situation.
"These annoying Yellow Turban thieves made me suffer a lot along the way.”
Zuo Feng's voice was a little shrill. In addition, he looked delicate and tender. Dong Song, who was standing behind Dong Zhuo, really wanted to walk up and lift Zuo Feng's long robe to see if this guy was a man or a woman.
"Since Lord Huang is tired, then go down and have a good rest. I will send someone to send the food directly to your military tent.”
Lu Zhi said to Zuo Feng expressionlessly. Lu Zhi had always hated the eunuchs of the imperial court, so he naturally wouldn't give Zuo Feng a good look.
"I also want to rest well, but I don't have the life to rest. The Son of Heaven's orders are on my shoulders. If I slack off, how can I live up to the Son of Heaven's trust?”
After Zuo Feng finished speaking, he picked up the cup and took a sip of warm water. However, just as he drank the water, Zuo Feng raised his head and spat it out again.
"What kind of water is this? Why does it smell so bad?”
Zuo Feng slammed the cup of water heavily on the wooden table." General Lu, are you deliberately embarrassing me?”
"Lord Zuo, the conditions in the army are limited. It's already not bad to be able to drink river water.”
"Humph!"
Zuo Feng snorted coldly and changed the topic.
"I've been traveling for days and I'm already hungry. Why hasn't the food come yet?”
As soon as Zuo Feng finished speaking, a soldier opened the tent and brought over a basin of roasted meat and a small bowl of porridge.
"I don't want to eat such greasy food.”
"Change!"
Lu Zhi was too lazy to say anything and waved his hand at the soldiers.
Not long after, another soldier brought over boiled vegetables.
"There's not even a bit of oil on these vegetables. How can I eat them if they're no different from grass fed to livestock?”
Seeing Zuo Feng's constant nitpicking, Lu Zhi could not help but be furious.
"Zuo Feng, what do you want? These things are specially prepared for you. It's already good enough for our soldiers to be able to fill their stomachs on normal days.”
"General Lu, I am the emperor's envoy. How can the soldiers be compared to me? If you look down on me, you are disrespecting the emperor.”
"You…"
Lu Zhi pointed at Zuo Feng and sat back on the chair angrily.
"Alright, all the generals, please leave. I have something to say to General Lu Zhi alone.”
The generals glanced at Lu Zhi and waited for him to wave his hand before they stood up and left.
"If you have anything to say, can you say it now?”
Seeing that Lu Zhi was a little impatient, Zuo Feng did not get angry. He smiled and went up to Lu Zhi, saying,"I wonder if General Lu wants to be promoted. If General Lu wants, I can help General Lu this time.”
Without waiting for Lu Zhi to speak, Zuo Feng quickly continued,""The emperor has placed great importance on the war in Jizhou. The emperor sent me here to investigate the military situation, in fact, it is to investigate General Lu's ability. If I report back to the emperor that General Lu has managed the army well and killed the Yellow Turban Army, the bandits in Jizhou will be pacified in a few days. I believe the emperor will be very happy. In this way, General Lu's promotion will be just around the corner.”
"Humph!"
Lu Zhi sneered." I am a general in the army and I don't like to beat around the bush. If Lord Zuo wants to express something, please tell me."”
"Recently, I've been eyeing a house in Luoyang. Although this house isn't big, it's not cheap either. It's a pity that I'm an official with clean hands. I still need a little money to buy this house.”
Hearing Zuo Feng's words, Lu Zhi understood what he meant.
"The army is still lacking in rations. How can we have the money to flatter the angels?”
Lu Zhi glared at Zuo Feng and continued,""I, Lu Zhi, do not seek to be promoted. I only seek to defeat the Yellow Turban Army and protect the Great Han Dynasty. Therefore, I do not need Lord Zuo to put in a good word for me in front of the emperor. In addition, Lu Zhi still had military matters to attend to, so he would not chat with Lord Zuo.”
After Lu Zhi finished speaking, before Zuo Feng could react, Lu Zhi opened the tent and walked out.
"I'm so angry!"
After a while, Zuo Feng's roar came from the big tent.
"General, Lord Zuo…"
Without waiting for Yuan Shao to finish his words, Lu Zhi waved his hand at Yuan Shao."After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, all the generals will have a meeting. As for Zuo Feng, give him a portion of grain for the soldiers.”
Seeing Lu Zhi leave with his men, Dong Zhuo couldn't help but whisper,"This Lu Zhi seems to have had a conflict with Zuo Feng in the tent. I don't know why.”
"No matter what the reason is, Lu Zhi will not have a good ending for bumping into Zuo Feng.”
"Now that the war is imminent, this is not a good sign.”
Dong Song shook his head and said,"This is an opportunity for father. Perhaps it won't be long before father can be promoted to a noble.”
