Lu Zhi's Complicated Mentality (2/3)
The next day, Liu Hong summoned Liu Xuan to the palace again and made his decision. He wanted Liu Xuan to leave as soon as possible.
As for the matter of borrowing luck, the Spirit Monarch said that he would talk about it in the future.
Liu Xuan didn't say much after hearing this. After calmly receiving the decree, he returned to the Liu residence to pack up. Then, he led the 3,000 soldiers under him to maintain the cards and charged towards Jizhou.
At the same time, outside Julu Prefecture, in an empty space, the Han Army and the Revolutionary Army had gathered to set up camp.
A few figures sat in the tent, looking at each other. Everyone fell into silence.
Among these people, there was a scholarly general, a dignified and handsome man, a mighty general, a thin old man, a domineering middle-aged man, and a fat man with big ears.
They were none other than all the generals of the imperial court facing the northern army. Because of the secret gathering of the Yellow Turban army, they had no choice but to temporarily gather together to discuss the next strategy to resist the Yellow Turban army.
Lu Zhi, Huangfu Song, Zhu Wei, Ding Yuan, Cao Cao, and Dong Zhuo.
Other than Gongsun Zan, who was still in Youzhou in the north and was cleaning up the remaining Yellow Turban soldiers to resist the invasion of foreign tribes, almost all the military forces had arrived.
At this moment, everyone was silent, and their eyes were fixed on a man.
That person was the scholarly general among the crowd.
He was Lu Zhi, Lu Zigan, a man who was skilled in both literature and martial arts.
Of course, at this moment, this man who was well-versed in both literature and martial arts felt a little unnatural when faced with everyone's gazes. He even felt a little angry and helpless.
He was the only one who was about to be replaced. Lu Zhi could still maintain his composure, which was already considered good cultivation.
"Everyone, what do you think of this incoming General Che Ji?”
Lu Zhi had always been defending the front line. Other than the imperial edict, he didn't pay much attention to any other news in the court. As for this General Che Ji who replaced him, he felt helpless, but at the same time, he was curious.
This was because he had been listening to his trusted subordinates report the situation in his army these past few days.
That posture was not like the dejected and complaining he had imagined. He did not have too many negative emotions because of his demotion. Instead, it was a strange silence and pretending to be calm.
Yes, it made Lu Zhi feel a little like when he was teaching in the past, the students suddenly heard his actions when he arrived.
Performance, that's right. His soldiers seemed to be putting on a show. They seemed to be in a better state than before. Each and every one of them was in high spirits, making Lu Zhi look like his mother.
What were they expecting?
It was impossible for Lu Zhi not to be disappointed.
Lu Zhi had always been confident that no one could do better than him in the current situation of the Yellow Turban bandits.
The reason why he delayed was to force the Yellow Turban bandits into a desperate situation and drag them out. At that time, not only would he be able to win a complete victory, but he would also be able to reduce many unnecessary casualties.
Unfortunately, the emperor's words were deceived, and there was nothing he could do.
Lu Zhi was naturally disdainful of the Cheji General who had replaced him. However, when he heard about the identity and achievements of the person appointed by the Imperial Court, he became curious.
In March, he captured five states and fought with the Marquis of Ten Thousand Families.
He actually knew someone with such outstanding achievements, and it was a junior he had high hopes for in the past.
The disciple that his good friend was proud of!
Therefore, Lu Zhi's attitude towards Liu Xuan was rather complicated.
On one hand, he felt that a person's name was like a tree's shadow.
With Liu Xuan's previous battle achievements, coupled with the fact that his talent and knowledge had also been recognized by him, Lu Zhi had a feeling that it was better to benefit this junior than to benefit others.
He even had the guts to wait for this junior to come. If he found that this junior was still not bad, he would want to explain his plan to Liu Xuan in detail.
For the stability of the world, Lu Zhi didn't mind giving this credit to this junior.
This was the heart of a great scholar!
Of course, on the other hand, Lu Zhi was a little worried.
He felt that Liu Xuan was too young. The current Yellow Turban Army was completely different from the previous Yellow Turban Army. He was worried that Liu Xuan's previous achievements were just a result of luck.
After all, in the history of the Han Dynasty, luck had always existed. Even the creator of the imperial power of the Eastern Han Dynasty was one such example.
It was not that Lu Zhi did not believe in luck, but he was afraid that if Liu Xuan really relied on luck and used up all his luck, he would still use his usual methods. It would not be good if he fell.
This kind of mentality was undoubtedly the concern of an elder for a junior. Of course, there was also a component of taking advantage of one's seniority.
In war, mistakes meant life and death.
Behind Liu Xuan, the Spirit Monarch was still watching. If Liu Xuan made a big mistake, then all the achievements he had accumulated since he became famous as a young man might be lost in one day.
This way, Lu Zhi felt that he was also responsible.
If he stood by and watched his good friend's disciple come over, it would be no different from kicking him when he was down.
This was the quality of a great scholar.
Therefore, Lu Zhi wanted to confirm Liu Xuan's condition before making further plans.
In response to Lu Zhi's question, Cao Cao was the one who spoke.
"General Lu, I had a conversation with the Marquis of Qingshan during the apprenticeship banquet of Mistress Cai. Unfortunately, due to various circumstances, I didn't have the time to get to know him and went our separate ways.”
"It was only when I returned to the Marquis of Luoyang that I heard that the Marquis of Qingshan had left Luoyang and become the prefect of Yizhou.”
"Now that he's coming, I'm looking forward to meeting him again and getting to know this rare genius.”
Cao Cao spoke, his tone filled with admiration and anticipation.
The army that Cao Cao represented was the Feathered Forest Cavalry. He had transferred some troops from Luoyang and his current position was the commander of the Feathered Forest Cavalry.
Although the Feather Forest Cavalry was also part of the Han army, this troop was more like a private army of the royal family. Although there were not many core members, they were exceptionally elite.
When Liu Xuan first entered Luoyang, he was still at the middle and lower levels of nobility and had yet to truly get in touch with Cao Cao.
When the Hongdu School appeared, Cao Cao had offended someone and was demoted to a small county in Si Province.
It was only two months after Liu Xuan left Luoyang that he was reactivated due to his identity.
