Ye City.
At the county government.
County Magistrate Xu Feng packed his luggage and turned back to glance at the familiar Town Hall. A line of tears flowed down from the corner of his eyes.
Just as he was about to turn around and leave, a voice sounded in his ear,"
"What's wrong? Do you really want to walk alone in peace?"
It was Lu Zhi.
Xu Feng immediately made the judgment.
He stopped in his tracks and turned to look at Lu Zhi. He shrugged awkwardly."Not leaving? Stay behind to be despised? I, Xu Feng, am not as thick-skinned as you, Lu Zigan!”
"Brother Xu!"
" Don't worry. I'll make proper arrangements for this matter. I hope you can stay and help me. Just treat it as helping Junior Brother."”
Lu Zhi and Xu Feng were once Ma Rong's disciples.
just
Disciples were also divided into three, six, and nine grades.
Lu Zhi was now a Beizhong General that the imperial court relied heavily on, while Xu Feng was only the county magistrate of Ye County.
"Humph!"
Xu Feng snorted." With your abilities, Lu Zigan, and the elites of the five battalions of the northern army, you don't have to worry about not being able to destroy that Demonic Priest Zhang Jiao. What's the point of me keeping him?"”
Xu Feng knew that Lu Zhi was very powerful!
Back then, Lu Zhi was ordered to attack the rebel army of Lujiang. At that time, he was only a Confucian general, and no one thought highly of him.
However, who would have thought that Lu Zhi would hit a home run, killing the bandits and making them flee in fear.
It was also because of this battle record that Liu Hong ordered Lu Zhi to be the general of the North Central Army and go straight to the Yellow Turban nest to fight it out!
Although the Yellow Turban army had a great momentum, far surpassing any previous rebellion.
However, after this battle, Xu Feng realized that the Yellow Turban soldiers were just a shell. Other than having a large number of soldiers, they were useless. Otherwise, they would not have been killed by the soldiers he had temporarily formed!
He could still have such a battle record, let alone him, Lu Zhi!
Lu Zhi asked him to stay, but on account of being from the same sect, he wanted to protect his future.
"Brother Xu!"
"Don't say anymore."
Xu Feng waved his hand to stop him." I've made up my mind. I'll resign and retire. From now on, I won't care about the world. I'll focus on learning!"”
Lu Zhi immediately continued," Of course I understand Brother Xu's mind. But I'm keeping Brother Xu here for the future of our Ancient Wen Sect. Could it be that Brother Xu isn't willing to help me?"”
Ever since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty abolished all schools of thought and only respected Confucianism, the Han Dynasty's most prominent school of thought was Confucianism.
but
This did not mean that the culture was unified and that there was no fighting.
In truth, there had always been a conflict within the Great Han Dynasty's Confucian school, and that was the conflict between the modern and ancient Confucian classics.
The Jinwen Classics focused on subtle words and great righteousness, namely the spiritualism and mysticism of the interaction between heaven and man.
Although the ancient classics also talked about disasters, they paid more attention to exegesis and less mysticism.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty abolished all schools of thought and only respected Confucianism, which was the Jinwen Classics.
The Jinwen Classics were also the orthodox classics of the Great Han Dynasty!
Most of the Confucian scholars in the court were from the Jinwen Classics.
However, there were also very few who had a background in ancient classics, such as Lu Zhi!
The history books recorded that Lu Zhi was resolute and did not have a good relationship with the scholars. In fact, it was more or less related to the dispute between ancient and modern literature.
In fact!
Lu Zhi was very lonely!
The higher one was, the lonelier one was!
It was also because of this that he wanted to protect Xu Feng and take advantage of the huge wave of the Yellow Turban to add another heavyweight to the power of the ancient classics!
Lu Zhi was very sure that he had the ability!
just
Xu Feng lost his will to fight.
He let out a long breath." Zigan, I understand what you mean, but I'm leaving resolutely because I'm thinking about the ancient classics. If this matter is exposed, perhaps even you will be affected."”
"I can't do this!"
"Otherwise, our ancient classics lineage will be completely cut off!”
In fact.
The debate between ancient and modern literature.
On the surface, it was a struggle between the internal cultures of the Confucians.
But in reality, it was a competition for limited official positions within the Great Han Dynasty.
Now, Jinwen Jing was the orthodox official school, and most of the court officials were disciples of Jinwen Jing.
And if the ancient classics were the orthodox official school, then most of the court officials would be disciples of the ancient classics.
In the end, it was all about benefits!
It was also because of the benefits involved that the Jin Wen Jing faction would never yield or give in.
Once the matter of burning the corpses was uncovered, the people would be able to find out about it.
Whether Xu Feng could become an official was another matter, but Lu Zhi would definitely be implicated.
Xu Feng saw through this.
Therefore!
Only then did he resolutely leave and disappear from the world.
"Alright, since you've decided, then let me send you on your way!" Lu Zhi sighed.”
After saying that, Lu Zhi picked up Xu Feng's backpack and walked out of the county government together.
Da! Da! Da!
Horseshoes galloped out of Ye City.
Brother Xu, if I'm not wrong, you didn't do such a thing. It was Wang Hao, wasn't it?”
"So what if I am? So what?"
"Oh, it's nothing. I just feel that it's not worth it. It's clearly not your fault, but you insist on carrying it.”
"But after all, I agreed to it!"
"Brother Xu, can you answer a question of mine?”
"Tell me, I'll try my best to answer."
" What's so special about Wang Hao that you're doing this to him?”
"This…"
What followed was silence.
In fact, even Xu Feng himself did not know why he was like this.
"County Lord! County Lord!"
Suddenly, a voice came from outside the car.
Xu Feng lifted the curtain and looked up.
He saw a red lightning bolt rushing over and waving at him.
It was Wang Hao!
Xu Feng recognized him at a glance.
"Stop the car!"
Phew ~~
The carriage stopped.
Wang Hao hurried over and cupped his hands."
"County Lord, I still don't know your name!”
Xu Feng smiled.
"Xu Feng, from Runan."
Wang Hao dismounted and bowed solemnly."
"County Chief Xu, please accept Wang Hao's respect!”
Xu Feng hurriedly stopped him.
"Wang Sima, what are you doing?"
Wang Hao stood up and said,"
"Xu Xian, I, Wang Hao, can't promise you anything!”
"But I will never forget your kindness!”
" One day, I, Wang Hao, will pay you back a hundredfold!”
Xu Feng smiled faintly.
"Wang Sima!"
Remember, you don't owe me anything."
"Kill the bandits properly. With your ability, becoming a marquis and general is definitely not a dream!”
After saying that, Xu Feng lowered the curtain.”
But in the next second.
He couldn't hold it in anymore.
Two streams of tears flowed out of his eyes.
-----
At this point.
The Battle of Ye County came to a successful end.
Next, they would attack the Yellow Turbans and launch a counterattack!
