"It really is these two thieves! Haha! Ziyi, you've done a great service!"
After Lu Zhi confirmed that these were really Zhang Jiao and Zhang Liang's heads, he laughed and patted Zhao Yu's shoulder,"Don't worry, I'll also ask for credit for this! Just wait for your promotion!"
He had the merit of breaking the city and killing the bandit leader Zhang Jiao and Zhang Liang.
Now, no one could stop Zhao Yu from rising.
Similarly, with these two heads, it was impossible for the officials and eunuchs in Luoyang to frame him or find fault with him.
This time, he was going to benefit from Zhao Yu and improve.
However, after this incident, Lu Zhi also saw the situation in the court clearly and had the idea of retiring.
At the very least, he would become low-key.
It was one thing for the aristocrats, relatives, and eunuchs to target him, but what made him most disappointed was that the emperor was not prepared to stand up for him and support him.
Otherwise, how could they have succeeded in framing him?
One had to know that he, Lu Zhi, was loyal to the Imperial Court. He had always been impartial and wholeheartedly wanted to help the Emperor revive the Great Han Dynasty.
In the end, he ended up like this?
This time, if not for Zhao Yu's timely reminder and help, he would have been thrown into Luo City by the prisoner carriage and ended up in a mess.
The Spirit Monarch's actions were too much and it was too disappointing.
"Then thank you, Lu Shuai!"
Zhao Yu immediately smiled and cupped his hands towards Lu Zhi.
Liu Bei, who was behind Lu Zhi, felt even more jealous.
Even Zhang Jiao and Zhang Liang's heads were taken by Zhao Ziyi?
Was there any justice left?
"It's all Lu Zhi's fault! Since he gave me the task of the north gate, wouldn't the credit be mine?”
"I'm your student! How biased!"
For a moment, Liu Bei hated Lu Zhi in his heart.
...
The next morning.
Lu Zhi gathered a group of generals in the army for a meeting at the prefect's mansion.
"Everyone!"
When everyone had arrived, Lu Zhi looked around and said,""I wrote up the previous battle merits yesterday and sent someone to send them to Luoyang to report to the Imperial Court.”
"Presumably, there will be a lot of rewards in the future!”
"Many thanks, Marshal Lu!"
All the generals thanked him.
Lu Zhi raised his hand with a smile and continued,"The Battle of Guangzong has come to an end. With the death of Zhang Jiao and Zhang Liang, the only one left of the three brothers is Zhang Bao of Qingzhou.”
"The Jizhou Yellow Turbans will also be killed along with Zhang Jiao and Zhang Liang.”
"At present, only Guangzong and more than 100,000 Yellow Turban soldiers are left in Jizhou.”
"The rest are scattered Yellow Turban thieves, so they are not worth worrying about.”
"I want to continue to work hard and use troops against Guangping to wipe out Zhang Yan's Yellow Turban troops in one fell swoop. Who is willing to be the vanguard?”
Guangzong had just been taken down, and there were still 300,000 to 400,000 surrendered soldiers to deal with.
Therefore, they needed a certain number of troops to stay behind to deal with the aftermath.
Other than that, the logistics department had to keep up.
In addition, Lu Zhi had a premonition that his time in Jizhou was running out.
Although they had taken down Guangzong before the imperial court framed him, killed Zhang Jiao and Zhang Liang, and took the greatest credit.
But because of this, the situation in Jizhou became clearer.
There was still a lot of credit left. The Yuan family, He Jin, and the eunuchs would not let go of this opportunity to reap credit for nothing. They would definitely think of a way to get the emperor to order him and Zhao Yu to be transferred back to Luoyang.
Lu Zhi had already thought of a reason for them. He made outstanding contributions and entered the capital to accept the title.
"I'm willing to go!"
In the next moment, all the generals and colonels present stepped forward.
Zong Yuan, Chen Qi, Zhao Yu, and Liu Bei were no exceptions.
"General Ziyi, please don't fight with us for these corners.”
"That's right! That's right!"
Seeing that Zhao Yu had also stepped out, many of the generals had bitter expressions on their faces as they joked.
"Hehe!"
Zhao Yu also smiled and replied,"Commander Lu is recruiting soldiers. Otherwise, wouldn't it seem like I'm not sociable and not giving face?”
"Haha! It's done!"
When Lu Zhi heard this, he also laughed out loud and said,"Ziyi, stay behind and clean up Guangzong with me this time! Leave Guangping to the sect members."
"Here!"
Zhao Yu agreed.
He was indeed not interested in attacking Guangping.
Firstly, he did not have many spies there.
The siege was also disadvantageous to the Zhao Army.
Secondly, he had already obtained a great merit. Even if he made another new contribution, the reward would be the same.
It was impossible for there to be any more qualitative changes.
It was better to conserve energy and prepare to deal with the storm in Luoyang.
On the same day, the army set off.
With the clan members as the main group, Chen Qi, Liu Bei and the others followed.
"Teacher! I'm going!"
Before leaving, Liu Bei pretended to run to Lu Zhi to say goodbye.
He pretended to respect his teacher.
Lu Zhi felt sick of it.
If you had really respected your teachers so much back then, you wouldn't have played truant.
What was the point of doing all this now?
However, Lu Zhi didn't expose him directly and gave him face. He nodded lightly and said,""Go! He would strive to make more contributions so that he could obtain a better position when he was rewarded.”
"Yes, sir!"
Only then did Liu Bei leave.
On the way,
Zhang Fei snorted in dissatisfaction." Big brother, you're too nice. That Lu Zhi deliberately gave the most difficult and least beneficial attack mission to the three of us. In the end, we didn't get much benefits, but we got injured all over. Why are you so polite to him?”
Guan Yu also echoed,"Big brother!" He felt that what his third brother said was reasonable. That Lu Zhi was a famous general, but he was so harsh to his own students and cheated them. He didn't want such a teacher.”
The two of them had been fooled by Liu Bei.
They did not know the truth and directly bore a grudge against Lu Zhi.
As a result, they were filled with resentment towards Zhao Yu.
"Hey!"
When Liu Bei heard this, he let out a long sigh and said,""Second brother! Third Brother, don't say that! There are too many people and too many mouths. Don't cause trouble!”
"Furthermore, Teacher Lu is still my teacher. How can a student blame or badmouth a teacher?”
"You're not allowed to say such disgraceful words again in the future!”
"I believe that Teacher was only blinded by some people for a moment.”
Liu Bei's words clearly had something to say, and he started to add a rhythm to it.
"Hmm?"
As expected, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu's expressions froze when they heard that.
"Big brother, are you talking about Zhao Yu?"
Guan Yu frowned.
"Zhao Ziyi? It shouldn't be that bad, right?"
Zhang Fei frowned when he heard that." It's not like he can make the decision. Besides, I'm quite familiar with him and know him well. He shouldn't be such a person. Maybe there's something we don't know about?”
"Otherwise, why didn't the Zongyuan General and the others show any dissatisfaction towards Zhao Yu?”
If Zhao Yu was really behind this, then it was impossible for the sect members to not have any objections towards him.
