"This, isn't Provincial Governor Lu being too impulsive?”
Huangfu Song said hesitantly. After all, this was an angel! Killing him was equivalent to slapping the emperor in the face. This would probably bring disaster.
Lu Qing did not care at all. Youzhou was already in its initial stages, so Lu Qing did not care about the Great Han Imperial Court's thoughts at all. At most, he could just rule it by himself.
"It's fine. At most, I'll give up the credit for eliminating the Yellow Turban bandits this time. Your Majesty can't kill me, a meritorious minister, for a little eunuch, right?”
Lu Qing said this, and everyone sighed. They could only say that this was the arrogance of a youth.
Lu Zhi laughed out loud.
"Hahaha, this is great! I've long been unhappy with this guy, and he's actually asking for a bribe from me? It's good to kill him, it's good to kill him!"
Hearing Lu Zhi's words, everyone smiled awkwardly. There were too many people who were unhappy with him, but no one dared to say anything! Now, only Lu Zhi said it.
After Zuo Feng was killed, the atmosphere lightened up a lot. After all, that guy didn't have good judgment. Even when facing Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, he was still extremely arrogant. Naturally, no one was used to it.
The only person who might be unhappy about his death was probably Dong Zhuo.
This was because this fellow had tried to curry favor with Zuo Feng before. He was hoping that Zuo Feng would put in a good word for him when he returned to the Imperial Palace.
But now, he was at a loss. Zuo Feng had died because of Lu Qing. Wouldn't his previous efforts be in vain?
However, Dong Zhuo naturally didn't dare to say these words to the public. After all, if he said all of this, he would obviously be despised by the surrounding generals.
Actually, Lu Qing didn't expect that he would take Dong Zhuo's opportunity.
In the original history, it was because of Zuo Feng's false accusation that Lu Zhi was finally dismissed. Later, because of his slanderous words, Dong Zhuo was promoted. Even when Dong Zhuo was defeated many times by the Yellow Turban bandits, he was not punished.
Now that Zuo Feng was gone, Lu Zhi obviously wouldn't be dismissed. As for Dong Zhuo, he naturally lost a good opportunity.
After everyone took their seats, Lu Zhi looked at Gongsun Zan, who was sitting behind Lu Qing.
"I didn't expect that a child like you would one day lower yourself to others.”
Hearing Lu Zhi's words, Gongsun Zan was stunned at first, then he smiled.
In the past, he was indeed very proud. He even trained a top-notch cavalry unit like the White Horse Yi Cong.
However, it was only when he met Lu Qing that he suddenly woke up. Now, he was completely convinced by Lu Qing.
"My lord is a mighty lord."
Gongsun Zan only said this, but the reverence in his eyes could not be hidden. Lu Zhi sighed, and he was very curious about Lu Qing's magic.
Because in the letter, he could see that Cai Yong also wanted to stay in Youzhou. What was in Youzhou that could make his old friend so reluctant to leave?
After the idle chatter, everyone entered the main topic. Lu Zhi said seriously,
"Now, the Yellow Turban bandits are holed up in Guangzong City, but we can't be careless when facing the Yellow Turban bandits.”
"According to our intelligence, there are still 400,000 Yellow Turban bandits in Guangzong City, while our total military strength is 200,000. This is a two-fold difference. If we are careless because of this, it is very likely that we will lose.”
Hearing Lu Zhi's words, everyone's expression became serious. Although most of the Yellow Turban bandits were a motley crew, there were indeed some elites.
The elites led by Zhang Jiao and his brothers were all holed up in Guangzong City. This final battle would be quite difficult.
In their opinion, the only way to besiege Guangzong was to waste time.
They had the supplies of the imperial court, so they did not have to worry at all.
However, Guangzong was already an isolated city, so Lu Zhi's final solution was to surround it without killing it. As long as they persisted for three months, Guangzong's food and grass would be exhausted. At that time, Guangzong would collapse without attacking.
Lu Zhi had used this tactic in history, which could greatly reduce the casualties of the Great Han soldiers.
But in the end, he was sued by Zuo Feng, saying that he did not move.
Lu Qing frowned when he heard this because he didn't have much time. It was almost time for the autumn harvest. At that time, the Xianbei, Wuhuan, Qiang people, and others from the border would all come to invade because they would come to harvest grass.
They robbed the Han people of their food and money so that they could survive the difficult winter.
Therefore, Lu Qing had to end the war as soon as possible. The army had to go back and recuperate. When the time came, they would have to face the Outsiders coming south.
Thus, Lu Qing stood up.
"Marshal, I'm willing to give it a try.”
Hearing Lu Qing's words, everyone was stunned. It had only been three months. Why was Lu Qing so anxious?
Lu Qing said.
"The autumn harvest will arrive in a few months. Youzhou still needs the Youzhou Army to guard it.”
Everyone suddenly realized that Lu Qing was in a hurry to go back.
Lu Zhi frowned. In the end, he still gave Lu Qing a chance to try. However, he still said that if he failed, Lu Qing would come back obediently and carry out the plan of besieging him.
Lu Qing accepted the order and left. In fact, everyone wanted to take this opportunity to see how powerful the Youzhou Army was.
