Chapter 83 Dogchen

Chapter 83

At night, outside Guangzong City, around the army's battalion, a group of soldiers and horses were patrolling. Suddenly, they saw the torch lit up on the Guangzong City Tower. A figure flashed out, pulled a bow and arrow, and shot a feather arrow in front of the team of soldiers. This group of soldiers was shocked first. It must be that the distance between the soldiers of this team of patrol posts and the city wall has long exceeded that of an arrow. How strong should the man be if he can shoot the bow and arrow from the tower?

The colonel took the lead. Seeing this situation, he hurried forward to pick up the arrow and saw a note tied to the arrow. The colonel did not dare to neglect it and hurriedly sent the arrow to Lu Zhi.

"General, when the little one was patrolling outside, he found that there were feathers and arrows on the tower. He didn't dare to neglect it and sent it to you."

This small school has been in the army for many years and has seen some battles. Naturally, he also knows that this kind of arrow shot from the city generally has secrets, but if it can be picked up, it is easy to get the reward of Shangguan. So after the small school got the arrow, he sent it to Lu Zhi non-stop, hoping that Lu Zhi could give him some benefits.

But at this moment, the little colonel glanced at Lu Zhi's table, but saw that there were seven or eight arrows on the table, which were like the arrows he brought. And Lu Zhi's face was also very gloomy at this time. The school couldn't help but jump.

"Have you given this arrow to others?"

Lu Zhi took the feather arrow handed over by the primary school and did not open the note on the feather arrow. I just asked such a ambiguous question.

"The little man picked up the feather arrow and sent it to the adult. Except for a few people patrolling with the villain, no one else knew it."

The small school answered in a hurry, and his heart was trembling.

Lu Zhi saw that he didn't seem to be lying, and he didn't say much. He just waved his hand and let the small school retreat.

"Meng De, can you guess what is written in this note?" Lu Zhi raised the arrows taken by the small school to Cao Cao on one side and asked.

"Ha ha, general, I think it should be Zhang Jiao's persuasion letter for the general to surrender." Cao Cao replied with a gentle smile.

"I think the same as Meng De. This letter just now is already ten secret letters from the yellow scarf." Lu Zhi said slowly, as if he was thinking about something.

"General, this is the twelfth letter. How is the general going to deal with it?" Cao Cao asked Lu Zhidao with a worried face.

"Meng De has always been resourceful and good at planning. I don't know what Meng De thinks about this matter?" When Lu Zhi heard Cao Cao's question, he did not answer it directly, but asked Cao Cao how to do it.

It turned out that Lv Bu took advantage of the night to let people write more than a dozen letters with the same content, shooting from all corners of Guangzong Qiangcheng to around the army camp, in order to pass on the content of his heart to the people of various factions in Lu Zhi's army.

The letter is written in the name of Zhang Jiao, and the content is also very simple. It is said that the yellow scarf is very powerful now. He has defeated Huangfu Song in Yingchuan. In the future, he will definitely establish immortal achievements and create achievements for all generations. Zhang Jiao has admired Lu Zhi for a long time, hoping that Lu Zhi can help him achieve great achievements. If Lu Zhi gathers people to return, Zhang Jiao can In order to set up another general's seat under their three brothers to arrange Lu Zhi. He made great achievements in his yellow scarf every day. Lu Zhi must have a foreign surname as the king, and Guangzong Yaozu. At the end of the letter, he said that a few days ago, the Yellow Turban Army met a man who claimed to be Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu claimed to be the son of the Yuan family. Zhang Jiao heard that the Yuan family and Lu Zhi had a good relationship, so if Lu Zhi was willing to surrender to Huang Turban, Zhang Jiao was also willing to hand over Yuan Shu to Lu Zhi in order to show his sincerity. .

Lv Bu is very particular about this letter. First of all, he wrote that Zhang Jiao attaches great importance to Lu Zhi. If he wants to persuade Lu Zhi to surrender, as long as Lu Zhi surrenders, the high-ranking officials will enjoy inexhaustible benefits. The position of the king of the opposite sex is much higher than Lu Zhi's current position as a general.

If Zhang Jiao wants to recruit Lu Zhi, Lu Zhi will definitely not agree, but if he doesn't agree, he will have to do something. How about raising an army to attack the city, or write a book to denounce Zhang Jiao's crime and send a letter to the three armies to correct it.

Unfortunately, Lu Zhi can't do these two things now. First of all, Lu Zhi has few soldiers. With 70,000 soldiers, he attacks the city garrisoned by 220,000 people. Unless Lu Zhi's brain is broken, he can't use soldiers.

Writing an article, scolding Zhang Jiao angrily, and writing to the three armies to correct the public, they can indeed let others know that Lu Zhixin went to the court and did not intend to surrender to the yellow scarf, but this did not damage Yuan Shu's life. I didn't kill Bo Ren, but Bo Ren died because of me. Once Yuan Shu dies, who can guarantee that Yuan Kui will not trouble Lu Zhi? Even if Yuan Kui doesn't look for it, as the direct son of the old Yuan family, Lu Zhi still wants to keep it.

What's more, Lu Zhi also wants to take this opportunity to buy some time for the officers and soldiers. Zhang Liang's soldiers and horses came to Guangzong. The Yellow Turban Army is no longer Lu Zhi's 70,000 horses, who can deal with it. Lu Zhi has written to the court and mobilized Dingyuan of Bingzhou and Sun Zan, the Duke of Beiping to help. I believe that as long as the court agrees, the army of the two places Ma Yue can arrive in time. At that time, the three-way attack will definitely break the yellow scarf. What Lu Zhi lacks now is time. While Lu Zhi was thinking about how to buy time, this persuasion letter was sent. This can indeed make Lu Zhi buy time, but the price is too high for Lu Zhi.

As long as this matter spreads, I'm afraid that Lu Zhi's reputation in his life will be ruined. You should know that what a scholar cherishes all his life is nothing more than his reputation. Lu Zhi's life is peaceful, and only the word "famous" can make him proud of others. However, in order to win the time needed to eliminate the yellow scarf for the Han Dynasty, it was to destroy the festival that Lu Zhi cherished his life.

In the face of this difficult situation, Lu Zhi thought hard and couldn't get a result. He could only ask Cao Cao after the eunuch that Lu Zhi had always looked down on.

"General, we and Zhang Jiao are in this Jizhou border. You and I have been fighting for more than a month, but we have never seen Zhang Jiao use such a powerful strategy."

Cao Cao meditated for a while and suddenly said such a sentence, but he did not answer Lu Zhi's question. There is nothing else that can be done. Lu Zhi is Cao Cao's superior. Naturally, Cao Cao can't let Lu Zhi betray his name for the Han court, but Cao Cao can't let Lu Zhi ignore the safety of the Han for his name. Although these two opinions are diametrically opposed, they will offend Lu Zhi, so Cao Cao Cao He can only talk about it from side to side and take the topic to another place.

"You mean, there is a master in Zhang Jiaojun?"

Lu Zhi suddenly looked up at Cao Cao, but Cao Cao's words reminded Lu Zhi. Lu Zhi always had the upper hand when he fought with Zhang Jiao in the past. As long as Lu Zhi made a small plan, Zhang Jiao would be fooled. If not, Zhang Jiao would not. He would have 150,000 troops, but he could only be a general who defended the city. However, now Zhang Liang's reinforcements have just arrived, but Zhang Jiao took the initiative to attack, and as soon as he took action, he forced Lu Zhi to fight. Then he contacted Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun about the defeat in Yingchuan, and Lu Zhi suddenly became cheerful.

"My subordinates think that it is necessary to untie the bell. As long as our army can find the master around Zhang Jiao, there must be a way to solve the current situation." Seeing that Lu Zhi's attention was attracted by him, Cao Cao Cao quickly offered a strategy to Lu Zhi. Although it was not a good idea, he answered Lu Zhi's questions.

"So what should we do now? Zhang Jiao sent out dozens of letters of surrender. I'm afraid that the people in the army already know about this matter. If we don't react, I'm afraid we will be suspected by the eupe of the court. Lu Zhi looked at Cao Cao and suddenly felt that Cao Cao was much cute and was not as annoying as before. Cao Cao seemed to have helped him, so he asked Cao Cao again.

"The general can write to the court, make it clear, and write that we want to take advantage of this opportunity to buy time, wait for reinforcements, and ask for the consent of the court. In addition, the general rewred the book to the bureaucrats in the court and asked them to help explain, so that the court would not embarrass the general for this matter. Cao Cao's mind turned around, so he sorted out the matter and helped Lu Zhi find a solution. However, Cao Cao's plan puts his hope on the court's trust in Lu Zhi. As the representative of scholars, Lu Zhi is naturally easily supported by scholars, but the emissary will not support him. So will the court support and trust Lu Zhi in the future? The victory or defeat is between five and five.

"Yes, although your method is lacking, there is nothing better than this at present. For the court, we can only make this arrangement first, so how should we deal with Guangzong? Lu Zhi got Cao Cao's plan and calmed down a little.

"All things on Guangzong's side depend on the determination of the general." Cao Cao smiled and said such an ineulous sentence.

This also shows Cao Cao's attitude on this matter. He can't say much and doesn't want to say more.

It must be that this matter is related to Lu Zhi himself. He can only make his own decisions, and what others say can't do anything.

"It is said that the three armies will pull out the camp tomorrow morning and retreat back 30 miles to the village." The blue veins flashed on Lu Zhi's face, and a resolute look flashed out. Lu Zhi had made a decision, and his order had explained all the thoughts in his heart.

"Yes, I will obey the general's military order."

Hearing Lu Zhi's order, Cao Cao quickly got up and held his fist and answered. This sound was like a praise for Lu Zhi's loyalty and a sigh for Lu Zhi's fate.

In fact, although Cao Cao did not clearly say his own opinion, he said his opinion. Cao Cao understood this, and Lu Zhi naturally understood it.

If you want to prove Lu Zhi's innocence, the simplest way is to write an article about Zhang Jiao, and then send a book to the whole army. Why report it to the court? Reporting to the court is just to make Lu Zhi pretend to surrender, but he is afraid that the court will misunderstand, so he just did a demonstration. But how much can this kind of cover-up play in the court that is loyal and treacherous? Cao Cao didn't know that Lu Zhi himself had no idea.

When he was about to get out of the military tent, Cao Cao took a peek at Lu Zhi. It was this time. Cao Cao was amazing to find that Lu Zhi seemed to be much older all of a sudden. The north wind roared outside the tent. For a moment, Cao Cao actually sighed about his fate as a minister. As a minister, even if he is as loyal as Lu Zhi, he is just a royal eagle dog. Sometimes this eagle dog, who gives up everything for his master, is still suspected by his master. This reminded Cao Cao of a word he had heard somewhere: "Dog minister".
