After negotiating the cooperation and resting for a day, Liu Feng led the Overlord Cavalry south and headed for Julu Prefecture.
Along the way, they encountered a few small groups of Yellow Turban troops, which were directly crushed by the Overlord Cavalry.
10 hours later, Liu Feng arrived at the Han Army camp outside Guangzong City.
Lu Zhi, the general of Zhonglang, personally went out of the camp to meet him.
After everyone was seated, Liu Feng asked,""General Lu, when I came here, I saw an envoy from the imperial court leaving. What happened?”
As soon as he arrived at the military camp, he saw a eunuch leave in a huff.
The scene of Zuo Feng accepting bribes and Lu Zhi being imprisoned appeared in his mind.
Lu Zhi sighed, not knowing how to start.
The deputy general sitting on the right said helplessly,""Commandant Liu, you might not know this, but Zuo Feng came to inspect the battle situation on behalf of His Majesty, but he openly accepted bribes from General Lu.
After being rejected by General Lu, he left in a huff. Who knew if it was a blessing or a curse.”
Lu Zhi sighed,"Our army is still short of rations. Where can we find the money to give him?"”
It was indeed Zuo Feng.
"General Lu's integrity is admirable, but I feel that General Lu's approach is somewhat improper."”
No matter how good-tempered he was, he would still be unhappy when he heard this.
"What does Commandant Liu mean?" Lu Zhi frowned slightly. Do you want me to bribe a eunuch with military rations?”
Liu Feng shook his head and said,"As the saying goes, the King of Hell is easy to provoke, but the little devil is difficult to deal with."
Since Zuo Feng had failed to openly accept bribes, he would definitely do something unfavorable to General Lu out of embarrassment.
For example, after returning to the capital, he framed General Lu for delaying the battle.
At that time, the Imperial Court would be furious, and General Lu would probably be unable to defend himself.
Once the army lost its commander, Zhang Jiao would take the opportunity to attack. How could they resist then?
The most important thing was that Zhang Jiao had gotten out of his predicament and was marching west to attack Luoyang.
At that time, who could stop him?
General, what do you want to do?
How can a butcher command an army?
The Yellow Turban rebels marched straight into the palace, and the Han Dynasty was in danger.”
Lu Zhi broke out in a cold sweat after hearing Liu Feng's words.
He suddenly stood up, his face anxious. What should we do?"
The deputy general also fell silent.
He did not expect the consequences to be so serious.
If what Liu Feng said was true, they would all be sinners for the rest of their lives.
In order to protect their reputation, they had put the burly man in danger. How could they feel at ease?
"The only way now is to break Guangzong and kill Zhang Jiao before the imperial decree arrives."
At that time, even if General Lu was taken away, the Yellow Turban bandits would not be able to cause any trouble.”
"It's easier said than done to break Guangzong.”
Lu Zhi and the clan members shook their heads and sighed.
Now, Zhang Jiao was curled up in the city, not going out to fight.
It was useless no matter how they challenged him.
They seemed to have made up their minds to defend Guangzong.
If time allowed, Lu Zhi was confident that he could trap Zhang Jiao in Guangzong.
But time waited for no one.
In the past, Lu Zhi might have thought that it didn't matter even if he went to jail for refusing to bribe Zuo Feng. At least he had preserved his reputation.
However, after hearing Liu Feng's analysis, Lu Zhi was also burning with anxiety.
He didn't want to become a sinner of the Great Han Dynasty.
"Did Zhang Jiao send anyone to break out of the encirclement?"”
"Almost every night, but we always kill them." Lu Zhi nodded.”
Liu Feng immediately laughed." If the Yellow Turban bandits break out again tonight, let them pass. We have to let Zhang Jiao see hope."”
"Let them leave?"
"What if they attract reinforcements?" Lu Zhi asked in confusion.”
"If the reinforcements don't come, why would Zhang Jiao leave the city?" Liu Feng laughed.”
After all, Lu Zhi was a famous general of the Great Han Dynasty. He quickly understood and clapped his hands as he laughed."Commandant Liu's plan is brilliant.”
"General Lu, Commandant Liu, what kind of riddles are you talking about?”
The deputy Zong Yuan was at a loss.
He didn't hear any brilliant plan.
Liu Feng and Lu Zhi looked at each other and laughed in unison.
Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, it was already late at night.
Zhang Jiao once again sent out a team of several thousand people to break out of the encirclement.
Lu Zhi's main force was stationed outside the west gate of Guangzong City. There were also ambushes outside the other three gates.
During this period of time, all the troops Zhang Jiao had sent to break out of the encirclement had been killed by Lu Zhi's ambush.
This time, he did not have any hope.
However, a moment later, a messenger ran over excitedly.""Great teacher, they succeeded. They successfully broke out of the encirclement.”
"Did you succeed?"
Zhang Jiao stood up and grabbed the messenger's arm." Are you sure?"”
The messenger was still excited." Great teacher, I'm sure. They really broke out. We're saved."”
"Good, good, good!"
Zhang Jiao laughed loudly.
As long as his third brother Zhang Liang brought his troops to help, he would be able to charge out of the Urban area and kill Lu Zhi.
Then he and his three younger brothers will join forces and lead the army to Luoyang. The great cause can be achieved.
