Moreover, as Lu Zhi's younger brother, Lu Feng hated eunuchs even more!
During the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, Liu Hong, appointed Lu Zhi as the North Zhonglang General and ordered Zong Yuan to be his deputy. He led the soldiers of the five battalions of the North Army (namely, the five battalions of Tunqi, Yueqi, Infantry, Changshui and Shesheng) to Jizhou to pacify the Yellow Turban Army.
Lu Zhi won consecutively, Zhang Jiao led the army to retreat to Guangzong County (), defending the city to the death. Lu Zhi led the army to surround Guangzong County, digging trenches, making siege weapons, and preparing to attack the city. At this time, Liu Hong sent Zuo Feng to inspect Lu Zhi's army. Someone advised Lu Zhi to bribe Zuo Feng, but the upright Lu Zhi refused. Zuo Feng didn't get any benefits, so he hated him. After returning to Luoyang, he slandered Liu Hongjin, saying,"I think Guangzong County is easy to break through, but Lu Zhi didn't do anything. Is he waiting for God to kill Zhang Jiao?"”Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, Liu Hong, was furious and issued an edict to remove Lu Zhi from his post. He was escorted back to Luoyang in a prison cart and sentenced to life imprisonment (reduced death penalty by one degree). The imperial court appointed Dong Zhuo as the General of the East, replacing Lu Zhi to pacify the Yellow Turban Army in Jizhou, but Dong Zhuo was defeated.
Later, Zuo Zhonglang led another official army led by Huangfu Song to pacify the Yellow Turban Army in Yanzhou and Dongjun. The imperial court then sent Huangfu Song to Jizhou to pacify the Yellow Turban Army. Huangfu Song did not disappoint and returned triumphantly. After Huangfu Song returned to the capital, he wrote a letter to Liu Hong, pushing the credit for pacifying the Yellow Turban Army in Jizhou to Lu Zhi. Thus, Lu Zhi was restored to his original position as Minister of State.
A few days ago, Liu Hong had passed away, and General He Jin had taken control of the government. He Jin had listened to Yuan Shao and the others 'suggestions and intended to eradicate the eunuchs. He had even recruited Dong Zhuo, the Prefecture Overseer, into the capital. Lu Zhi knew that Dong Zhuo would be a future trouble, so he tried his best to dissuade him, but He Jin did not listen.
Because he was not on good terms with these eunuchs, Lu Feng did not say anything and ordered the eunuchs to be killed!
He commanded his Dusk Stallion and brandished the Overlord Halberd in his hand. He was like a black tornado, and wherever he went, heads flew!
The 2000 soldiers under his command were like wolves and tigers. In a short while, hundreds of armed eunuchs under Zhang Rang's command were all killed or injured!
In the end, only Zhang Rang, Hou Lan, and a few junior eunuchs were left holding Prince Chen Liu hostage!
Zhang Rang shouted at Lu Feng," Lu Feng, quickly stop. Otherwise, we will kill Prince Chen Liu. When the time comes, let's see how you will hand over a dead Prince Chen Liu!"”
Lu Feng was now caught in a dilemma. He wanted to support Liu Bian for the sake of Empress Dowager He. This way, Prince Chen Liu's death would be the best thing for him. It would save Liu Xie from being held hostage by Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao, and other ambitious people, who would then use the Emperor to command the vassals to fight against him.
But on the other hand, as an official, Lu Feng couldn't just watch helplessly as this prince died. After all, this was considered saving the emperor. If he implicated Prince Chen Liu in his death, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu would definitely use this as an excuse to make a fuss, using the fishing vessels of the aristocratic families they controlled to deal with him!
