Chapter 225 Lu Ziqian Goes to Hexi (Please request a monthly ticket at the end of the month)
The circle dispersed, and Lu Zhi urged the horse to come out slowly.

After only seeing each other for a few months, Dong Bi noticed that Lu Zhi seemed to have aged a lot.When he left Luoyang, Lu Zhi's hair was mostly black in his memory.But now, that hair has almost turned gray.

It was almost November and the wind was biting cold.

Lu Zhi wore a blue long gown with a jacket over it.

Eyes, can not see the slightest energy.The heroic posture he had when he was commanding before disappeared all of a sudden after the battle.

Dong Bi hurriedly got off his horse and took a few steps forward to greet him.

Lu Zhi also jumped off his horse and supported Dong Pi.Those turbid eyes looked Dong Biao up and down, as if they wanted to see through Dong Biao's inner world.However, Dong Bi believed that there was no ghost in his heart, and met Lu Zhi's gaze without saying a word.

"The old man is white, so he really can't afford the great gift from the Marquis of Anning Ting."

The title of Marquis of Anning Ting has been hanging on Dong Bi's head for almost a year.But in Dong Bi's impression, whether Cai Yong or Lu Zhi, he would only call him Anning Tinghou when they were joking.Teacher, what's the matter?
Dong Bi said: "Teacher, what's wrong with you? A student is your student for a day, and will be your student for the rest of his life."

Lu Zhi closed his eyes, and his cheeks twitched violently.

After a while, he said softly, "Xiping, why are you here?"

Dong Bi hurriedly replied: "The students heard that the sage passed away, so they led the recruiting army and rushed to Luoyang overnight. I don't want to meet the teacher here... Teacher, why are you not in Luoyang? This line, where are you going? Woolen cloth?"

At this time, a young boy, about ten years old, jumped out of the motorcade.

"Daddy, Erniang seems to have been frightened, she was vomiting just now."

Upon hearing this, Dong Bi quickly turned around and said, "Dong Tie, go to the Chinese Army immediately, tell Pang De to speed up, and bring a military doctor by the way."

"Xiao Tie is going!"

While Dong Tie was talking, he leapt onto a war horse and galloped along the original road.

Dong Bi recognized that the boy was Lu Zhi's only son, named Lu Yu, who was only 11 years old.He turned around and ordered Wu Anguo and others to set up camp on the spot. After Ling Cao arrived, he helped gather the wounded.

Lu Zhi was watching from the side without saying a word.

Lu Yu, on the other hand, followed Dong Bi, watching the military horses pointing and asking questions.

After a while, two marching doctors arrived, and the camp had been set up.His own family brought military doctors to take care of Lu Zhi's wife.Dong Bi picked up Lu Yu, walked into the tent with Lu Zhi, and sat down, but remained silent.

"Teacher, what happened?"

Lu Zhi suddenly said, "Xiping, why didn't you tell me?"

"tell what?"

Lu Zhi bit his lip, and said with difficulty for a long time: "During the Yongqiu Rebellion, did Liu Xuande appear among the rebels?"

"what……"

Dong Bi has been hiding this matter, because he is worried that Lu Zhi will not be able to bear it after hearing the news.

Unexpectedly...

Although Dong Bi didn't answer, Lu Zhi already understood.

Two lines of turbid tears silently slid down his cheeks, his fists were clenched tightly, and his body was trembling non-stop.

Suddenly, Lu Zhi sternly said, "Liu Xuande, Lu Zhi swears not to spare you!"

A mouthful of blood spurted out, and Lu Zhi fell to the ground on his back.This frightened Dong Bi.Lu Yu was crying, Dong Tie, Ling Cao and Wu Anguo who were outside the tent entered the tent.Seeing this scene, Dong Tie turned his head and left.

"Xiao Tie, where are you going?" Wu Anguo asked loudly.

"Look for a military doctor!"

Dong Tie's voice was still echoing in the tent, but he had disappeared.

This is also the main reason why Dong Bi appreciates Dong Tie.This kid has a wink and knows the seriousness of the matter.Dong Bi hugged Lu Zhi in his arms, and let Wu Anguo and Ling Cao guard outside the tent.After a while, Dong Tie led a military doctor in.

Dong Bi carried Lu Yu out of the tent and sighed.

"Xiao Yu, do you know what happened to the teacher in Luoyang?"

Lu Yu was still in shock, so that can be said clearly.He sobbed and said, "I don't know either. It's just that one day when Dad came back, his face was very ugly. After staying in the study for a day, I vaguely heard him cursing someone for not being a son of man. The next day, Dad After I resigned from office, many people came to persuade me to stay, but my father insisted on leaving Luoyang."

"When did that happen?"

Lu Yu tilted his head, thought for a while and said, "It was about 20 days ago."

20 days ago, that is, the few days when Dong Bi received the death of Emperor Han.Who told Lu Zhi the news?
Dong Pi was the only one who could call Liu Bei by name.

And Dong Bi didn't tell anyone, so it's impossible for people to know about it.

As for the rebels, although some prisoners were captured.But most people don't know Liu Bei's origin.It is only said that Wang Fen found a good man, but no one knows the name.

If this happened at other times, Dong Bi wouldn't care.

But when it happened at this sensitive time, Dong Bi had to keep an eye on it.

Did Lu Zhi know about it by accident, or did someone pass the news to Lu Zhi on purpose?If it was intentional, who would it be?What is the purpose?Dong Bi stood in the open space, lost in thought.If the general surnamed Yan killed by him was Yan Liang, and Xu You's appearance, then the Yongqiu Rebellion must have something to do with that Yuan Benchu.

This matter itself has a very heavy partisan trace...

Liu Bei and Guan Yu later left with Xu You.Xu You is a member of Yuan Shao, so it is inevitable that he will not have news with Yuan Shao.

The most important thing is... Could it be that Liu Bei and Guan Yu took refuge in Yuan Shao?
Dong Yu couldn't help but sucked in a breath of cold air.If this is the case, Yuan Shao will naturally know the details of Liu Bei and Guan Yu.If Yuan Shao told Lu Zhi... Could it be that he wanted to force Lu Zhi out of Luoyang?But what is his purpose for doing this?
The more Dong Bi thought about it, the more frightened he became.

Vaguely, he felt that there seemed to be countless threads in it. One end of the clue was held in the hands of the party members, and the other end...

The party members are relying on He Jin now, so on the other side, could it be to deal with the old man?

Dong Bi's body is very strong, and he is wearing a thick jacket. Although the weather is cold, he will not feel the chill.

But now, he felt a chill that he had never felt before...

At this time, the military doctor finished examining Lu Zhi's body, walked out of the camp, and came to Dong Bi's side.

"Mr. Lu is fine, just short of breath for a while. The villain has already passed the needle, and he will probably wake up after a while."

Dong Bi patted the military doctor on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Thanks for your hard work!"

After speaking, he carried Lu Yu into the camp.Dong Tie set up a brazier in the tent, and the temperature was much higher than before.

As soon as he sat down, someone came to report: Pound arrived with the Chinese army.

"Let him camp where he is, and we'll fix it here tonight."

"Here!"

Ling Cao turned and retreated, and Dong Bi waved his hand to signal Wu Anguo and Dong Tie to retreat.Lu Zhi woke up leisurely, Lu Yu jumped out of Dong Pi's arms, ran to Lu Zhi's side and cried, "Daddy, you scared Xiao Yu just now!"

"Don't cry, Yu'er, let's go out and play first. Daddy wants to talk to your brother Xiping about something."

Lu Zhi said kindly, and Lu Yu obediently agreed.

After Lu Yu went out, Lu Zhi and Dong Bi sat face to face.After a long time, Lu Zhi said, "Xiping, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"I'm worried that the teacher will be sad."

"But if you hide it from me like this, I will feel even more uncomfortable."

Lu Zhi closed his eyes, and said in pain: "In this life, Lu has been loyal to the great man and the emperor. Among the disciples he has accepted in his life, you are the most outstanding. But you should not hide this matter from me. Liu Xuande conspired to kill the king. , is a heinous crime that cannot be punished. If you had told me earlier, I would have ordered the Ming emperor to send out documents to arrest Liu Xuande. I, Lu Zhi, have been loyal all my life. Even if I die, I will not allow such a person to corrupt me. The family's reputation of loyalty and goodness from generation to generation."

Dong Bi was speechless for a moment.

"Teacher, how do you know this?"

Lu Zhi said: "A few days ago, old man Yuan Kai invited me to drink suddenly. During the banquet, this matter was mentioned, and there was a white-faced rebel and a red-faced rebel. I was very surprised at the time, so I asked casually, but then The characteristic is precisely Liu Xuande."

"what?"

"The three brothers Liu Xuande once served under my tent during the Taiping Dao Rebellion. His second brother Guan Yu wields a Qinglong Yanyue Saber, with a red face and beautiful beard; the third brother Zhang Yide wields a Zhangba snake spear and a leopard head swallow jaw. Except for these three people, the same three people never got together again. I didn't believe it at the time, so I went to your Beimang Villa and asked Bei Gongwei who participated in the war at that time. The answer I got... There was such a traitor, What face do I, Lu Zhi, have left in Luoyang?"

Dong Bi's heart skipped a beat, and it really had something to do with the Yuan family.

There are some things that he can't say too clearly, so he can only insinuate: "Master Lu, how is Luo Yang's current situation?"

Lu Zhi was startled for a moment, then sighed, "It's a mess."

"how do I say this?"

"After the new emperor ascended the throne, He Suigao took over the Xiyuan new army. The emperor tried his best to cut He Jin's military power and establish the Xiyuan new army, but he didn't expect that He Jin would be fulfilled in the end. I look at the Tu family son, It will be another beam wing in the future."

Liang Yi, a general in the period of Emperor Huan, was arrogant and domineering.

Dong Bi didn't think so, but he was afraid that He Jin didn't have Liang Yi's ability.

Lu Zhi said: "As soon as the first emperor left, for some reason, the two palaces began to fight. I really don't understand what Empress Dong thinks...Knowing that He Jin is powerful, she still wants to compete with him. I leave In Luoyang, He Jin captured the hussar general Dong Zhong, and sent him to Hejian on the grounds that the Empress Dowager Dong was originally a feudal concubine and she should not stay in the palace for a long time."

Concubine Fan refers to the concubine of the princes.

Empress Dong was originally Jiedutinghou, the concubine of Emperor Liu Hong's father.

Dong Bi's heart was full of ups and downs.This is clearly the reappearance of the Romance, and He Jin will kill Empress Dowager Dong later.

Lu Zhi went on to say: "Actually, Empress Dowager He is a good person. The emperor was young, and the two palaces listened to the government behind a curtain. It is not without precedent. She doesn't like to show her face very much. On the contrary, the eunuch is attached to Empress Dowager Dong and is aggressive. Empress Dowager He still I persuaded Empress Dowager Dong about this. I don’t know what happened to Empress Dowager Dong, but she actually fought against Empress Dowager He during the banquet.”

Dong Bi couldn't help but interjected, "Then... what happened to Uncle Guo?"

Lu Zhi sneered, "Although Dong Zhong was a general of hussars, he didn't have soldiers in his hands. After the empress dowagers of the two palaces fell out, He Jin copied Dong Zhong. Dong Zhong committed suicide in the back hall... But I didn't see Corpse, it's not easy to talk about it."

The implication is, did Dong Zhong commit suicide or homicide?

What about two...

"Then my father-in-law and the others..."

Lu Zhi smiled, "Don't worry. He Suigao wanted to seize the military power of Beigong, but was rejected by the emperor. This is the first time the emperor opposed He Suigao's idea after he ascended the throne... But Nangong Wei, Liu Yuanzhuo Still dismissed."

Seeing that Dong Bi was in a hurry, Lu Zhi no longer kept it up.

"Your family is very good. Although He Suigao is domineering, he hasn't done anything to your family. It's just that Bo Xi has been a little sad recently and often gets drunk. Your daughter-in-law took him to the gate of your big house. Don't worry, it's fine."

It's okay, it's okay!
Dong Bi let out a long breath, looked at Lu Zhi, and felt a sudden movement in his heart.

Lu Zhi is a man with great abilities.It would be a pity to let him live in seclusion like this.

Rather...

"Teacher, what are your plans for the future?"

Lu Zhi's face darkened.

"What plans can I have? I have cultivated a student like Liu Xuande, and I am disheartened. I am going back to my hometown, so let's talk about it after a good rest."

But Dong Bi said: "Teacher, you have all the skills and great knowledge, and you will die here, but it is the loss of the Han Dynasty."

"What face do I have to be a teacher again?"

Lu Zhi smiled wryly and shook his head again and again, "Rather than being laughed at, it's better to find a place to hide and save embarrassment."

Dong Bi bit his lip and hesitated for a moment, "Does the teacher know Zhang Ye?"

Lu Zhi was stunned, "How could I not know... Hehe, that is the border of my great Han. But earlier, because it was in the Qiang area, the court responded rudely. After sending several officials, they were either killed or couldn't get through. Now I heard it was occupied by a group of people..."

"That group is me!"

Dong Bi looked at Lu Zhi and paused every word.

"It's yours!" Lu Zhi nodded with a smile before he could react.But the smile froze suddenly, looking at Dong Bi, "What did you say?"

"It is my part that occupies Zhangye."

"what?"

Dong Yu said: "There are only two people who I respect the most in my life. One is Huo Huqi, and the other is Ban Dingyuan. Born in Liangzhou, I know that the Qiang chaos is only caused by it. There are many horse thieves in Liangzhou. All over the place. What we rely on is the vastness of Liangzhou. If the Hexi is uncertain, the Qiang will continue to suffer. When my imperial army passes by, they will flee to the Western Regions. If my army withdraws, they will immediately come back. That Hexi is like linking the Central Plains and the Western Regions If the door is not occupied, there will be chaos."

Lu Zhi looked at Dong Bi quietly, without saying a word.

Dong Bi went on to say: "The Qiang people rebelled, and I realized that it was a good time to take Hexi. The Qiang people had the upper hand, and the army confronted us, and they didn't care about the ownership of Hexi. I sent my generals to occupy Hexi. Zhangye... I also wanted to go there at first, but I didn't expect that the general wanted me to enter Luoyang... Now, Zhangye, Dunhuang, and Jiuquan are all in my hands. If I have the opportunity in the future, I would like to follow Ban Dingyuan again and reapply Establish the Governor's Mansion of the Western Regions, so that the Western Regions will always submit to the might of our Han army... Teacher, I would like to ask you to sit in Zhangye for me, I wonder if the teacher would like it?"

His cloudy eyes suddenly brightened.

Lu Zhi's hands were shaking slightly, and he was speechless for a long time.

After ten years of hard study, what I want is to reproduce the mighty glory of the Han army.Even when he was studying in Dongguan, Lu Zhi never gave up such ideals.

I thought that the Yellow Turban Rebellion was an opportunity for him to display his ambitions.

Could it be that the damn ballad would shatter his dreams...

When his heart was ashamed, Dong Pi's words of "Han army mighty" made Lu Zhi's heart come alive all of a sudden.

The mighty Han army can really be reproduced?
"Xiping, you..."

"Teacher, I don't have any ambitions, I just want the safety of my family. When I occupied Zhangye, I had another thought in mind, which was to find a shelter for my family. I know what you want to ask me? In one day, I will never betray a big man for the rest of my life." .”

"Is that true?"

"If you violate this statement, you will die a bad death."

Lu Zhi did have such worries.Worried that Dong Bi's power will expand, and one day he will...

Now, after hearing Dong Bi's words, Lu Zhi suddenly relaxed in his heart.Suddenly, he looked up to the sky and laughed.

"I didn't expect, I didn't expect that I, Lu Ziqian, would still have the opportunity to make meritorious deeds in a foreign land... Hahahaha, the sky will never fail me, the sky will never fail me!"

While talking, Lu Zhi burst into tears.

Seeing Lu Zhi's crazy appearance, Dong Yu also felt an inexplicable sadness.

He looked at Lu Zhi quietly, and at the same time asked himself in a low voice: Is my decision today right or wrong?
