That night, Zuo Feng couldn't wait to write a letter of divorce, vetoing all of Lu Zhi's previous contributions in strict terms.
Zuo Feng wrote in the letter.
"I heard that Lu Zhi's military strategy is unparalleled and that he is a rare Confucian general. However, when they arrived at the camp, this subordinate realized that Lu Zhi was completely unworthy of his name. The reason why Nine Gates City, the gateway to Lower Quyang, could be conquered was entirely due to Dong Zhuo, the prefect of Hedong. Lu Zhi was jealous of Dong Zhuo and worried that Dong Zhuo's contribution would overshadow his own. Therefore, the high camp did not fight, lazy and slow morale.”
"The morale of the Yellow Turban Army in Lower Quyang is already low. Although it is said to have 100,000 soldiers, I risked my life to approach Lower Quyang and found out that there are only 20,000 to 30,000 old and weak soldiers in Lower Quyang. If Lu Zhi was really willing to share the burden for the Emperor, if he still had the Great Han Empire in his eyes, as long as Lu Zhi commanded his troops to attack Lower Qu Yang, he would be able to conquer it in seven days at most.”
"As long as we can conquer Quyang, the northern army of Jizhou will be able to join up with Huangfu Song's army in Guangzong. In this way, victory can be expected and the Yellow Turban bandits can be pacified.”
"This humble servant is loyal to my duty. I am trembling with fear as I write a letter. The contents of the letter are completely true.”
After Zuo Feng finished writing the letter, he painted it with wax.
After handing the letter to the messenger, Zuo Feng's face could not help but flash with malevolence.
"Lu Zhi, since you dare to neglect this official, this official will definitely make you pay a heavy price.”
While Zuo Feng was plotting against Lu Zhi, the confused Lu Zhi was having a headache over the battle in Qu Yang.
Days passed like this. Not long after Dong Song received another 2000 merit points, a group of imperial guards barged into the official army camp.
This group of Royal Guards consisted of about a hundred people. They wore bright armor, red cloaks, and long red feathers on their crowns, making them look mighty and extraordinary.
While the soldiers were still feeling strange about the arrival of the Royal Guards, they saw this group of Royal Guards barge into Lu Zhi's main tent and place their swords on Lu Zhi's neck in front of all the generals.
"What are you doing?"
Yuan Shao and Cao Cao drew their swords and stood in front of the Royal Guards.
"Under the orders of the Emperor, escort Lu Zhi to Luoyang for trial. Anyone who dares to stop me is like rebelling."
Cao Cao and Yuan Shao couldn't help but take a step back when they heard the words of the station commander.
"Dare I ask what crime I have committed?”
Lu Zhi looked calm. He had already vaguely guessed that this matter was probably related to Zuo Feng.
"Lu Zhi is a general of Beizhong, and he eats the monarch's salary, but he doesn't want to serve the court. The emperor was furious and removed Lu Zhi from his position as the North Lieutenant General. He was immediately escorted back to Luoyang for trial.”
Zuo Feng walked up to Lu Zhi arrogantly and waved the imperial edict in front of Lu Zhi.
"The emperor's imperial edict is here. General Lu Zhi, do you want to see it with your own eyes?”
"No need, I, Lu Zhi, am not afraid of my shadow. What's there to be afraid of if I want to add a crime!”
"Take him away!"
Seeing that the Royal Guards were about to take Lu Zhi away, the generals hurriedly blocked the entrance of the tent.
"We have always been fighting alongside General Lu Zhi. Whether General Lu Zhi has served the court or not, we know best.”
"That's right, whoever wants to take General Lu Zhi away today will have to ask the army if they are allowed to go.”
"Are you trying to rebel?"
Zuo Feng laughed coldly." If you block the Royal Guards 'path, then Lu Zhi's crime will be added with the words' disobeying the imperial edict.' All of you will also be escorted back to Luoyang for the crime of treason.”
Hearing Zuo Feng's words, Lu Zhi quickly said,""I, Lu Zhi, am loyal to the Imperial Court and am a magnanimous person. I believe that the emperor will give me justice. You shouldn't be affected by this. In addition, we still need to rely on you for the battle in Qu Yang.”
After Lu Zhi finished speaking, he walked out of the tent.
Seeing Lu Zhi's disappointed back, Dong Song couldn't help but take a deep breath and close his eyes.
"Maybe this is right, maybe this is wrong.”
Dong Song muttered and opened his eyes.
"Lord Zuo, the army cannot be without a leader for a day. May I ask who will be in charge of the army from now on?”
Zuo Feng glanced at Dong Song and walked straight to Dong Zhuo.
"Congratulations, Lord Dong. The emperor has ordered you to be the general of the East. You will lead the army to conquer Quyang in seven days.”
Zuo Feng's first half of the sentence made Dong Zhuo's heart leap with joy, but Zuo Feng's second half of the sentence made Dong Zhuo fall into an ice cave.
"Lord Dong, the emperor has high hopes for you. You must not disappoint him. Lord Dong, please attack Qu Yang tomorrow.”
As Zuo Feng finished speaking, he walked past Dong Zhuo and said softly,"Lord Dong was able to become the East Middle General because of my, Zuo Feng's, abilities. I hope Lord Dong will not forget Zuo Feng.”
