Three Kingdoms: Liu Bei seeks the master and seeks to conquer the world

Chapter 142 Bitter meat and strange plan, playing tactics is heartbroken

"Yun Chang, the imperial decree and seal are true, this can be regarded as a solution to Xuande's heart disease." Lu Zhi sighed softly: "But in this way, Xuande is no longer suitable to attack Dong Zhuo in the name of King Qin."

"Are you going to withdraw your troops back to Qingzhou?"

How could Lu Zhi, as the commander-in-chief of the armed forces, not know Liu Ai's coming and going?
But Lu Zhi did not interfere because of this!
The appointment of Qingzhou Mu is too important for the current Liu Bei.

Without the identity of Qingzhou Mu, Liu Bei would still be just a fake job!
Lu Zhi, Kong Rong and others can recommend Liu Bei to be the governor of Qingzhou, and Yuan Shao and others can also recommend others to be the governor of Qingzhou.

And Qingzhou, which was already on thin ice under Liu Bei's efforts, will fall into turmoil again!
Guan Yu shook his head: "Master Lu, although elder brother is not suitable to attack Dong Zhuo in the name of King Qin, I have no such scruples."

"Huh?" Lu Zhi didn't know Zheng Ping's private instructions to Guan Yu: "Yun Chang, why is this? If you want to leave, the old man will not blame you."

Guan Yu said frankly: "Mr. Xianmou told me when I said goodbye to my brother outside Yecheng."

"This time in Luoyang, there are two things that must be done."

"The first one is to obtain the imperial edict of Qingzhou Mu for my elder brother; the second one is to ask Zong Zhengqing to establish the genealogy of the clan and announce the names of the clansmen of the Han Dynasty to my elder brother."

"But Dong Zhuo will definitely not give benefits for no reason, so Mr. Xianmou gave me an idea: Before the edict, stand still, and the general will not accept the military order abroad; Prohibited by orders and orders, and those who speak falsely will be killed."

"Now that the edict is in hand, according to the military law, Master Lu should be responsible for the crime of adultery with Dong Zhuo. Whether it is beheaded or punished, it is up to Master Lu to decide."

Lu Zhi was slightly startled, and instantly understood what Guan Yu meant.

Although Guan Yu came to Qin Wang on behalf of Liu Bei, but this time the coach of Qin Wang was Lu Zhi.

According to military law, Lu Zhi could directly behead Guan Yu, who had an affair with Dong Zhuo, to enforce the military law.

"Sure enough, Xianmou still likes to play tricks, and it's all on Dong Zhuo's head."

"But it's just an ordinary punishment, it may not convince Dong Zhuo, and the reason is too far-fetched."

"Dong Zhuo can completely declare to the emperor to invalidate the edict before it reaches Qingzhou."

"If there were no angels from Chang'an to go to Qingzhou to read out the imperial edict, even if Yun Chang had the imperial edict and seal ribbon sent by Liu Ai, it would still be lacking."

Lu Zhi pondered.

After all, Liu Ai sent an imperial edict, so he couldn't just prevaricate it with a few words.

"I want Dong Zhuo to believe that, it's easy." Guan Yu clasped his fists and said, "You can use bitter tricks!"

Lu Zhi was taken aback: "Bitter tricks? Yun Chang, if you use bitter tricks, you won't be able to fool Dong Zhuo if you don't suffer a little bit!"

Guan Yu said awe-inspiringly: "For my brother's great cause, and for Master Lu to find more fighters in the next battle against Dong Zhuo, what is a little bit of flesh and blood?"

Lu Zhi hesitated: "Yun Chang, now that the imperial decree and seal are in hand, as long as they are quickly sent to Qingzhou for Xuande to pass on to the counties, even if Dong Zhuo repents, it will be difficult to change the decree overnight."

Guan Yu's eyes were firm: "As Master Lu said, it is still not as convincing as the angel sent by Chang'an to Qingzhou to preach the decree!"

"Master Lu, you once advised me to teach you: Heaven will send a great mission to the people of Sri Lanka, and they must first suffer from their will, exhaust their muscles and bones, starve their skin, empty their bodies, and disturb their actions. Benefit what you can’t do.”

"As a disciple of Master Lu, how can you not even dare to endure such physical pain?"

"Liu Ai is still in the army, and it is the most appropriate time to play tricks at this time!"

Lu Zhi took a long breath and looked at Guan Yu with unbearable eyes.

But just as Guan Yu said: one is for Liu Bei Qingzhou Mu to be more justified, and the other is for Lu Zhi to find a fighter. This bitter trick must be used by Guan Yu!
"Come on!"

Lu Zhi suddenly shouted.

The four tiger guards outside the tent heard the order to enter the tent.

"Drag Guan Yu out and cut him off!"

This sudden military order stunned the four tiger guards.

Drag Guan Yu out and behead him?

That's right!

Huwei looked at each other, and looked at Lu Zhi in astonishment.

"What are you doing in a daze? Do you want to disobey?" Lu Zhi snapped.

The four tiger guards shuddered one after another, bit the bullet and pressed Guan Yu's arms.

At this time, Guan Yu knelt on one knee and bowed to Lu Zhi: "Master Lu, I am an elder brother, and I will die without regret!"

Lu Zhi pretended to be furious: "You have no regrets for your elder brother's death. Is this the reason why you cheated on Dong Zhuo? Drag Guan Yu out immediately and gather the generals!"

Drums start.

All the generals came to the handsome tent one after another.

But he was horrified to see Guan Yu kneeling in front of the severed stake outside the commander's tent, and the four tiger guards were preparing to execute.

Qu Yi, Cao Bao, and Tian Yu turned pale with shock, and they didn't understand what was going on at all.

"Lu Shangshu, what crime did General Guan commit? You want to kill him?" Qu Yi was the first to stand out, staring at Lu Zhi fiercely.

If Guan Yu hadn't, Qu Yi would have died in an ambush carefully prepared by Huang Fusong.

If Guan Yu was not involved, even if Qu Yi escaped, all the Xiandengshi under his command would be wiped out.

Qu Yi had already regarded Guan Yu as a life and death brother, how could he let Lu Zhi kill Guan Yu!

Lu Zhi looked unhappy, and said coldly: "Captain Qu, Guan Yu has cheated on Dong Zhuo, according to the law he should be executed, do you want to intercede for him?"

Fornicating Dong Zhuo?
How can this be?

Whether it is Qu Yi, Cao Bao, Tian Yu, or the other generals, it is hard to believe it!

"Master Lu, is there any misunderstanding in this? Maybe it's Dong Zhuo's divorce scheme." Tian Yu hurriedly came out to persuade.

Cao Bao also said: "Lu Shangshu, General Guan has absolutely no possibility of having an affair with Dong Zhuo, please check clearly."

All the generals in the army also spoke out to persuade them.

But Lu Zhi took out the imperial decree and seal from Liu Ai, and said in a cold voice: "If there is no evidence, how can you accuse me of crimes! Do the generals think that the old man is a person who does not distinguish between good and bad?"

"Dong Zhuo's chief historian, Liu Ai, is currently in Guan Yu's camp!"

"This is Dong Zhuo's edict and seal that Dong Zhuo promised to confer Liu Bei as Qingzhou pastor, and the condition is to let Guan Yu retreat back to Qingzhou!"

"It's disgusting that this old man treats Guan Yu like a son, and he does not hesitate to pass on all the knowledge he has learned all his life. Now, because of Dong Zhuo's mere promise, he has to retreat back to Qingzhou. Do you deserve the training of this old man?"

"If you don't kill Guan Yu, how can you relieve your hatred!"

Tian Yu was shocked, and hurriedly came to Guan Yu and asked, "Second brother, is what Master Lu said true? Did you really promise Dong Zhuo? How can you do this to Master Lu?"

Guan Yu closed his eyes, and took a long breath: "Guorang, Guan is acting only for his elder brother, he is ashamed of Master Lu, and the only thing he can do is die."

Seeing that Guan Yu admitted to having an affair with Dong Zhuo, Tian Yu immediately didn't know what to do.

Cao Bao was also at a loss.

If Dong Zhuo can still persuade Dong Zhuo to divorce, Guan Yu has admitted it, how can he persuade him?

"Okay, okay! Is the old man's kindness to you still inferior to your elder brother?" Lu Zhi was so angry that his beard blew up: "Sword and axeman, what are you still doing? Since you want to die quickly, the old man will be fulfilled." you!"

"Master Lu, show mercy!" Tian Yu hurriedly knelt in front of Lu Zhi: "Master Lu, please look at the thin noodles in the past and spare the second brother. The second brother did this for Liu Shijun and has no selfish intentions." ah!"

All the generals knelt down and begged for mercy.

Qu Yi was even more direct: "Lu Shangshu, if I kill that Liu Ai, can I spare General Guan's life?"

As soon as the words fell, Guan Yu suddenly burst into a rage: "Qu Yi, if you dare to kill Liu Ai to ruin my elder brother's affairs, Guan and you are at odds!"

Qu Yi was dumbfounded by the scolding, and his temper flared up: "Guan Yu, I'm saving you!"

"Guan doesn't need your help!" Guan Yu Danfeng's eyes widened: "Brother is based in Qingzhou, and has been walking on thin ice all this time, because his Qingzhou governor is just a fake job, and the new Qingzhou governor may expel Qingzhou at any time."

"Now that I have finally obtained the imperial edict and seal ribbon from the emperor, my brother can justifiably order the counties and states of Qingzhou. Guan would rather die than allow anyone to destroy it!"

Qu Yi was so angry that he gritted his teeth: "Guan Yu, is the edict of the emperor so important? If you really want it, you can get it after breaking Chang'an. Why ask Dong Zhuo for it!"

Guan Yu said in a low voice: "Qu Yi, you don't understand! Breaking into Chang'an is not something that can be done in a year or so, and brother, you can't wait too long."

After finishing speaking, Guan Yu turned around and put his head on the stake: "Please cut it quickly!"

Lu Zhi was so angry that he could hardly breathe: "Okay, okay, okay! Since you want to die quickly, I will not treat you as a disciple!"

But in Guan Yu's tent, Liu Ai, who hadn't seen Guan Yu back for a long time, heard the noise outside the tent and the whispers of the soldiers, and his face suddenly changed.

"Lu Zhi wants to kill Guan Yu?"

"how can that be?"

Liu Ai hurriedly followed the sergeant closer, but saw Guan Yu lying on the guillotine, and the generals were begging Lu Zhi for mercy.

"It's broken. Guan Yu must have gone to find Lu Zhi to identify the authenticity of the imperial decree and the seal, and then offended Lu Zhi." Liu Ai was a little anxious.

Although he became Dong Zhuo's long history, Liu Ai did not join forces with Dong Zhuo.

Just like Liu Ai defended himself the first time he saw Guan Yu, he is Dong Zhuo's long history ordered by the emperor!

Liu Ai has his own way of being loyal to the emperor!

Agreeing to Guan Yu's conditions and persuading Dong Zhuo can give the Han Dynasty an extra clan minister with outstanding abilities.

This is very beneficial to the emperor.

It can be said that the reason why Dong Zhuo readily agreed to Guan Yu's conditions is inseparable from Liu Ai's persuasion!
Thinking of this, Liu Ai couldn't bear it anymore, and asked, "Lu Zhi, are you going to disobey the holy order?"

Lu Zhi's eyes turned cold: "Liu Ai, you dare to come out? This old man can't wait to kill you here!"

Liu Ai sneered: "I am a member of the Liu family, the prime minister appointed by the emperor himself. If you want to kill me, have you asked the emperor for his opinion?"

Qu Yi drew his sword directly, and shouted angrily: "It turns out that you, a villain, are causing trouble. If General Guan hadn't saved you with death, I would have killed you today!"

Liu Ai ignored Qu Yi, and looked directly at Lu Zhi: "Lu Zhi, do you really want to kill the courtiers whom the emperor wants to confer in front of the emperor's envoy?"

Lu Zhi clenched his fists and took a deep breath: "Liu Ai, this is the old man's barracks!"

"But I am the emperor's envoy!" Liu Ai was fearless: "Didn't you say King Qin? Believe it or not, I will take part in your crime in front of the emperor. Let's see if the emperor believes in you or me?"

Lu Zhi's complexion kept changing, and he suddenly ordered: "Come here, hang Guan Yu up, and punish a hundred army sticks! The envoy of the emperor, do you want to stop this old man from punishing the criminals below?"

"Liu Ai, do you want to stay and see how the old man executes the sentence?"

Liu Ai saw that Lu Zhi was relieved, knowing that if he stayed here again, Guan Yu would suffer even more blame, so he immediately threw up his sleeves and said, "Lu Zhi, if Guan Yu dies, even if you break Chang'an, the emperor will condemn you for disobedience." sin!"

"Let's see!"

But before Liu Ai took a few steps, Lu Zhi ordered: "Execution!"

Seeing the baton hitting Guan Yu with almost no strength left, Liu Ai's chest heaved with anger.

"Old man Lu Zhi, spoiling the emperor's affairs for his own self-interest!"

"We must persuade the Grand Master to send envoys to Qingzhou as soon as possible."

Liu Ai quickly returned to Luoyang City and told Dong Zhuo the information that Guan Yu was almost beheaded by Lu Zhi.

Dong Zhuo was very surprised: "Chang Shi, that old man Lu Zhi really wants to kill Guan Yu? Didn't he do it on purpose for you to see?"

Liu Ai shook his head, and his tone became more resentful: "There will be no fakes. All the generals in the army are pleading for mercy. They even want to kill me."

"If I hadn't threatened Lu Zhi that if Guan Yu was killed, he would be guilty of disobedience in front of the emperor, Guan Yu would have been beheaded on the spot."

"But even so, Guan Yu was beaten with a hundred army sticks by Lu Zhi for the following crimes, that old guy Lu Zhi deliberately beat Guan Yu with army sticks when he drove me out of the camp, for fear that I would not hear. "

"Grand Master, now that the imperial decree and seal are in Lu Zhi's hands, Lu Zhi will definitely not send them back to Qingzhou."

"I think that an envoy from the Son of Heaven should be sent from Chang'an to Qingzhou to declare the decree, and at the same time tell Liu Bei about Lu Zhi's plan to kill Guan Yu."

Dong Zhuo carefully questioned Liu Ai's details, and saw that there was nothing suspicious about it, so he couldn't help but sneered: "Old man Lu Zhi, this is going to be all-or-nothing."

"I'd rather offend Liu Bei than attack this Grand Master in the name of King Qin."

"He really thinks he can win the Grand Master?"

"Liu Ai, go to Qingzhou to announce the decree!"

After Liu Ai left, Li Ru on the side said quietly: "Teacher, there may be fraud in this, be careful that Lu Zhi plays such a play for Liu Ai to play for Liu Ai!"

Dong Zhuo sneered: "Wen You is worrying too much! Ben Grand Master has already promised, why should Guan Yu act with Ben Grand Master again? What good will it do them?"

Li Ru's eyes were gloomy: "Grand Master, what if Lu Zhi deliberately played a bitter trick because he wanted the Grand Master to think that Guan Yu could be his internal response?"

"Liu Ai's anger doesn't seem to be a lie, so it can be inferred that Guan Yu was really beaten with a hundred army sticks by Lu Zhi!"

"However, based on common sense: Even if Liu Bei obeys the edict, he will at most let Guan Yu withdraw his troops. Lu Zhi's responsibility for Guan Yu will chill the hearts of the rest of the soldiers."

"There are also rumors that Guan Yu is Lu Zhi's disciple. If he cooperates with Lu Zhi before withdrawing troops, Guan Yu will not refuse."

"If something goes wrong, there must be a conspiracy."

"Teacher must be cautious."

After listening to Li Ru's analysis, Dong Zhuo's eyes became playful: "Bitter tricks? If there are really bitter tricks, then the Grand Master won't have to bother you so much."

"Bring Huangfu Song up here."
