Chapter 253
Finally, the two men, who were a little dizzy after drinking, decided to become sworn brothers at Liu Bei's suggestion.
From then on, they helped each other and traveled the world.
The two felt that Liu Bei had such novel insights and was a subordinate of General Lu Zhi, so he would naturally have a future.
They agreed readily.
After becoming sworn brothers, Zhang Nan distributed all the property in the manor.
He raised a team of 1,000 people in Zhuo County and forged weapons.
At Liu Bei's suggestion, the three made robes of different colors and lined them inside the armor.
In the majestic and awe-inspiring manner, there was a sense of Confucianism.
Such an outfit made Guan Chun and Zhang Nan extremely happy.
He was really too majestic and handsome.
Wherever he stood in the future, he would definitely be the focus of the crowd.
The two followed Liu Bei, taking the men Lu Zhi had given him before, and headed towards Jizhou with great momentum.
...
Outside Guangzong City, the official army camp.
The court sent Dongjun governor Dong Zhuo to replace Lu Zhi.
"Old bastard!" Zuo Feng, the eunuch of the court, rebuked Lu Zhi in the prison car, with a smug look on his face.
"I'll teach you how to be ungrateful."
"You didn't fight in the high fortress of Guangzong City, and you neglected the morale of the army. This time you were punished by the court. Let's see what you have to say."
"You eunuch!" Lu Zhi, with disheveled hair, was still furious in the prison car, his eyes were red and angry.
"The soldiers are fighting on the front line, and the military rations are still short. Where can we get the extra money to take care of you."
"You actually returned to the court to frame us."
"When I return to Luoyang, I will definitely report to His Majesty about what you eunuchs have done on the front line."
"At that time, it is still unknown who will be punished!"
"Humph!" Zuo Feng snorted coldly, not caring at all.
With his hands behind his back, he came to the prison cart and ordered the soldiers: "A guilty person dares to be arrogant. Let him know what it means to be executed!"
"What are you waiting for? Don't do what the angel says!" Dong Zhuo, the new General of the Central Army, scolded the soldiers, "Get on the prison cart and teach the criminal a lesson!"
Dong Zhuo turned his head to look at Zuo Feng, and a flattering smile immediately appeared on his face.
He lowered his voice and said: "Angel, rest assured, your share..."
In the barely audible sound, the two smiled at each other.
Snap!
A loud slap sounded on the prison cart. When had Lu Zhi ever been treated like this?
He was beaten on the spot and his face was covered with blood.
"Take it away!" Dong Zhuo ordered.
"Send the prison cart back to Luoyang and wait for your majesty's decision!"
With a hundred soldiers escorting it, the prison cart left the official army camp and headed towards Luoyang.
Zuo Feng, with his hands behind his back, called Dong Zhuo aside and said in a low voice.
"The Lieutenant General needs to work harder."
"As the commander-in-chief this time, I recommend you as the new Lieutenant General. I hope you can make some achievements as soon as possible."
"We two can also report the victory to the court."
Dong Zhuo patted his chest and assured: "Don't worry, Lord Angel!"
"I have elite soldiers and strong generals under my command, and I will definitely win battles one after another."
"It's easy to quell the Yellow Turban Rebellion in Jizhou."
"Just wait and see, Lord Angel."
"In addition, Guangzong City is the Yellow Turban's nest."
"It is said that the Yellow Turbans rebelled and stored all the wealth and food they looted from various places in the city."
"When the city is broken, I will definitely not forget Lord Angel, the two of us..."
Dong Zhuo stopped talking at the right time.
Zuo Feng understood.
The two smiled at each other.
...
Liu Bei led the team to Guangzong City.
He was in high spirits after gaining two sworn brothers and a group of new subordinates.
Even the hardship of marching was not a problem.
He hurried along with great vigor.
"Prisoner cart?" Liu Bei looked into the distance.
When he was about to reach the camp of the government army, he found a team of 100 people walking out of the camp and heading west.
"Second brother, lead the troops to wait here." Liu Bei quickly ordered.
"Third brother, pick 200 people and follow me to the prisoner cart to investigate."
He vaguely felt that the figure in the prisoner cart looked familiar although his hair was disheveled.
A bad feeling emerged from the bottom of his heart, making Liu Bei panic.
When Liu Bei arrived in front of the prisoner cart, he asked and found out that the person being escorted in the car was actually Lu Zhi.
"Sir!"
He got off his horse in shock and asked the reason through the fence of the wooden cart.
In Lu Zhi's narration, Liu Bei understood the cause and effect.
He couldn't help but secretly rebuke in his heart.
How could he not make some arrangements for the people coming from the court?
Being so rigid in dealing with people will definitely be criticized by villains.
It is his own fault to fall into such a situation.
Liu Bei sighed in his heart. He had originally assembled a team and was waiting to return to Guangzong City to do something big.
With the support of two brothers, one civil and one military, he would definitely be able to achieve good results.
But he never thought that the previous backer would collapse. What should he do?
He was seen by Lu Zhi with a worried look on his face.
LetLu Zhi, who was already imprisoned, thought that Liu Bei was looking for a solution, and was touched.
"Teacher, you can still make Xuande think of you when you are in such trouble."
"It seems that I have misjudged you in the past."
"When I return to Luoyang one day, I will definitely clear your name."
Liu Bei, who was full of sorrow and thinking about how to deal with the future, nodded when he heard the words.
"Teacher, don't worry. Xuande will try his best to help you collect information here and report to the court to show what happened in Guangzong City."
He bowed his hands and said, "Student will definitely work hard to fight and strive to achieve something."
"Help you to redress your injustice, and you must not let you be framed by villains!"
These words were very moving.
Liu Bei ordered someone to bring a soaked wet cloth and scolded the escort soldiers who came forward to stop him.
He wiped the blood off Lu Zhi's face with his own hands.
His careful and meticulous appearance touched Lu Zhi deeply.
When he was in trouble, he did not expect that Liu Bei would treat him so well.
This made Lu Zhi feel extremely ashamed of his previous behavior of looking down on him.
Liu Bei's thousand men stood beside him, making the escort team leader dare not speak.
"Come here!"
Liu Bei pointed at the team leader and scolded.
"Take good care of me on the way."
"If there is any mistake, no matter how far I chase you, I will cut off your head!"
After some instructions, Liu Bei ordered his men to make way and let the escort team pass.
Throwing away the blood-stained linen in his hand, Liu Bei's mind flashed.
Dongjun prefect Dong Zhuo took over.
The news he had heard from Lu Zhi before made him ponder.
In the current situation, he certainly could not tell Dong Zhuo that he was Lu Zhi's subordinate.
He was afraid that if he said that, he would be ignored by Dong Zhuo.
After thinking it over, he made up his mind and went to the camp.
Before leaving, he led a thousand soldiers and used the principles he learned in Tanghai County to teach the men who had been sent by Lu Zhi to Youzhou to collect weapons.
Tell them not to talk nonsense.
Liu Bei told them his new identity.
A righteous man in Youzhou.
Hearing that the Yellow Turbans in Jizhou were in turmoil, he led the local warriors to join the team to fight against the Yellow Turbans.
With this idea, Liu Bei was summoned to the camp.
In the central army tent, Dong Zhuo sat in the main seat.
Amid the flattery of the generals, he was happy in his heart, but his face was normal.
He thought to himself that if it weren't for the dull Lu Zhi, he really wouldn't have such a great opportunity.
