But Lu Zhi said that after receiving Zhang Wen's letter, he snorted several times and handed it to Dong Zhuo.

At this time, Dong Zhuo's Hedong Army was the main force second only to the Han Army in Hebei, so it was necessary to share Lu Zhi's military reports with this person.

So Dong Zhuo looked at it once, and passed it on quietly. In this way, you passed the military report to me, and I passed it to you, and finally everyone knew the situation.

Lu Zhi complained in his heart. He originally did not intend to discuss it openly, but just let Dong Zhuo know. Who knew that this man was so stupid that he told all the generals present about the general situation, but the matter was already here, so let's discuss it.

Lu Zhi cleared his throat and asked Dong Zhuo:

"Zhong Ying, what do you think of Zhang Zhendong's strategy?"

Dong Zhuo remained motionless, patted his round belly and said with a smile:

"Lu Shuai, how do I, the old man, know these temple calculations? However, from my point of view, they look good."

Lu Zhi snorted without making any comments, and then asked the clan members sitting below him.

After Zong Yuan escaped from the defeat in Xingyang, he felt a little depressed. He mentioned the performance of the Hebei cavalry generals on the battlefield to Lu Zhi, but Lu Zhi said not to say anything that is not conducive to unity.

Therefore, the clan member could only swallow it silently in his stomach, because he suddenly realized that Lu Zhi and Lu Shuai were also from Hebei.

At this time, hearing Lu Zhi ask his opinion on the matter, the clan member said solemnly:

"Zhang Zhendong's strategy is quite insightful. The Taishan bandits are not good at water warfare, and instead of marching by water, this is bringing disaster upon themselves. If we can go south and block the Taishan bandits on the waterway, we may not be able to annihilate this giant bandit."

Then the other generals also expressed their opinions, basically maintaining three types.

One is that it doesn't matter, just follow the command of the old commander. These are some of the Northern Army officials led by Lu Zhi. Their Northern and Southern Army has always recognized the talisman rather than the person. Now as long as Lu Zhi still holds the talisman awarded by the state, then we will

He is the only one who follows his lead.

Another way is to ignore it and bring peace to the Hebei Yellow Turbans first. Those who hold these opinions are all military officials from Hebei. Every time the Hebei Yellow Turbans rage in Hebei, their losses will be greater, so they have no time to control the south.

At that time, Han soldiers from Hebei went south. How could they recover their homeland? So no, they must not go south.

The last option is to go south to intercept. This is the attitude of the Hanoi military officials and the Youzhou Cavalry generals who had fought with the Taishan Army. The former is a matter of interest. If the Taishan bandits cross the river from Xingyang north, they will definitely

After passing through Hanoi, aren't they the only ones who will be miserable? My nephew Tianzhai is still in his hometown? So he must go south. As for the latter, he has a clear understanding of the combat power of the Taishan bandits and wants to seize this opportunity to win.

This giant bandit.

In short, under the shogunate, one group of people and one viewpoint were all noisy for their own interests.

In the end, Dong Zhuo couldn't stand it and hummed:

"Why are you arguing? It's your turn to make a decision? Leave it to me, old Dong, and listen to Lu Shuai."

Needless to say, Dong Zhuo's figure and his rough words made him look like a wild and strong man. The officers in the army were attracted by this kind of strong man. Therefore, as soon as Dong Zhuo said this, the noisy people in the scene really became quiet one after another.

Already.

Everyone stared intently at Lu Zhi, who was at the head, and heard the decision.

Lu Zhi looked at everyone with satisfaction and snorted:

"I won't tell you whether Zhang Zhendong's move is good or not. If I just say that the Taishan bandit is heading north, I will turn a blind eye to it?"

Gongsun Zan, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly asked:

"Master Lu, I don't know how to put it this way. We have seen the combat power of the Taishan bandit. It is no exaggeration to say that he is the most powerful enemy of our big man before."

Since Gongsun Zan left before the last battle, he was not ordered by Lu Zhi, because this was what Lu Zhi meant. When going south, Lu Zhi reminded Gongsun Zan and other Hebei generals to pay more attention to protecting the Youzhou sudden cavalry.

strength. Because, he also wants to defeat the Hebei Yellow Turbans with the help of Youzhou Cavalry.

In fact, when Lu Zhi lent troops to Huang Wan, he thought that Huang Wan would not repay the loan. This was because he was a little worried about the clan member, because the clan member was originally from Nanyang and was from the same state as Huang Wan.

Will lead Youzhou Tuqi to the death force.

The result was just as Lu Zhi expected. After the Youzhou Tuqi suffered a major blow, this member still chose to stay in Xingyang to help Huang Wan. It was obvious that he was using the blood of Hebei people to dye ribbons for Jingzhou people.

Lu Zhi said that it was not impossible to do this. Although he was from Youzhou, he was a minister of the country, and his interests were more consistent with the interests of the Han Dynasty. But the problem is, should I, Lu Zhi, use these Youzhou cattle and horses? You

Now that it's been consumed by me, how can I fight the Hebei Yellow Turbans?

So, he asked Gongsun Zan to bring the people back.

At this time, Gongsun Zan praised Fang Qiu, and Lu Zhi then scolded Fang Qiu:

"The Taishan thief is strong when he is strong, but sometimes the transformation between strength and weakness happens in an instant, in a single decision. And when I see the Taishan thief turning from weak to strong, it is during this so-called northward journey. Why? Just because at this time the Taishan thief's only breakthrough is

The way is not to the north but to the west, that is, to join forces and move westward, there may be a glimmer of hope. At this time, our troops are empty in the Gyeonggi area, and the troops that can fight are either in Hebei, Henan, or Guanxi. The bandits of Gou Ruotai can take advantage of

With the power of winning in battle and conquering in attack, he led more than 100,000 people gathered in Aocang to march westward. Our ancestral temple and the country are in danger."

What Lu Zhi said described a tragic consequence for the military officials. Everyone held their breath and continued to listen to Lu Zhi:

"And once the Taishan bandits can occupy Gyeonggi and even conquer Kyoto, where can the country go? There are only two ways to go west and north."

At this point, Lu Zhi stopped talking and changed the subject. He continued:

"At that time, the Taishan bandits will continue to enter Guanzhong from the west, or go south to Nanyang to join the remnants of the Yellow Turbans. Maybe it will really happen."

"Then you see, this Taishan bandit chose to go north. We have 20,000 elite Han soldiers in Hebei, and 20,000 Han soldiers from Henan are our successors in the south. Even if this Taishan bandit goes north, he will be in deep trouble. Not to mention him

We also have to deal with the relationship with the Yellow Turbans in Hebei. In short, I will leave it at that, Hebei is the burial place of the Taishan bandits."

Lu Zhi's words made all the generals suddenly realize, and they all felt that victory was just around the corner. They couldn't help but admire the old commander's foresight.

But Dong Zhuo, who was sitting next to him, sensed some meaning from what Lu Zhi had just said.

Just now, Lu Zhi was talking about how once the Taishan bandits occupied Kyoto, the country would hunt abroad, and he also said that hunting would be either in the north or in the west. Dong Zhuo thought about it carefully, and he was afraid that what he didn't say was the core of Lu Zhi's entire paragraph.

If it is either heading west or north, then the country will definitely hunt north. Why? Because Liu Hong was born in Hebei, and Hebei was abundant in troops at this time. If it goes west, it will be blocked by Qiang and Taishan thieves.

.

So once Liu Hong goes hunting in the north, who will benefit most? That is undoubtedly the powerful military officials from Hebei. They will support Liu Hong when the time comes, follow Guangwu's story, and then kill him back. But don't they Hebei people have to do it once?

Occupy the center of power? But this time, who can drive them away?

Dong Zhuo, who wanted to understand this, glanced deeply at Lu Zhi. It turned out that this person was wrong to blame the Taishan bandits for moving to the west and to the north. He blamed the Taishan bandits for not creating opportunities for the Hebei people.

Dong Zhuo smacked his lips, and once again lamented that the people of Guandong are so judgmental. It seems that he should be more careful in the future, otherwise he will be betrayed and still think that others are treating him well.

In addition to Dong Zhuo, everyone on the court heard Lu Zhi's unfinished intentions, including Gongsun Zan, Cui Jun and others, so there was a hint of regret in the approval.

After Lu Zhi said this, he still wanted to continue, but someone interrupted him again. Lu Zhi looked again and saw that it was the Julu man again, this time it was Jushou.

I saw Jushou cupping his fists and saying:

"Ming Gong, I think it is not unreasonable for the Taishan bandits to go north."

Lu Zhi said lightly:

"Oh, what's the point?"

Jushou rarely had great ambitions and was good at strategy. He liked to discuss these grand strategic matters with others. Originally, he didn't want to disturb Lu Zhi's conversation after seeing Tian Feng's lesson, but this matter was irritating him.

Not vomiting, not happy.

So he really analyzed it seriously:

"If the Taishan bandits really continue to advance westward, there may be chaos. First, if the Taishan bandits enter the capital, they will not be welcomed by the powerful people in the capital wherever they go, because they are thieves and not the king's master. Therefore, it can be seen that

What's more, if the Taishan bandits enter the capital, every city must be attacked and defended. If the Taishan bandits enter the capital, not only will their strength not increase, they will fall into a real quagmire. This is one of the reasons.

The second is that if the Taishan bandits continue to advance westward, although their number is 100,000, they will only be able to conquer 20,000 good warriors. Once they enter the capital, they will enter the middle.

After that, the troops of King Qin from all over the country can trap the Taishan bandits to death as long as they encircle these eight passes. However, the Taishan bandits have no foundation and can only drift in the Gyeonggi area. The more they fight, the fewer they are. The more the Han army fights, the stronger they become.

.

Besides, the Taishan bandits may not be able to enter the capital, and they may be blocked at Hulao Pass. When the time comes, the Taishan bandits will be blocked at Xiongguan, with our Henan Han soldiers watching behind them, and their defeat will be instantaneous.

The third and more serious one is that the capital city is the most prosperous place in the world. How many bandits like the Taishan bandits who come from the poor mountains can stay out of chaos? By then, military discipline will be lost and military officials will be corrupted. Such Taishan bandits will

What’s so difficult to deal with?”

Finally, Jushou smiled faintly and said confidently:

"Ming Gong, in my opinion, this Taishan bandit is an expert. He knows that entering the pass is a dead end, and now he is trying to survive in death. Ming Gong, such a giant bandit has seen so much, he must not let it go.

Please Ming Gong quickly send troops to annihilate the Taishan bandits on the waterway into the river."

Jushou's three reasons were really convincing, so as soon as he finished speaking, everyone below was whispering and conversing.

But in fact, Jushou is really much worse than Lu Zhi. Because he only understands military affairs and does not understand politics. All Lu Zhi's methods are to condense military morale and issue their declaration of victory politically, while Jushou

What? Still too young.

In this way, Lu Zhi's efforts to run a military council to restore military morale were half destroyed by Ju Shou, a smart man. It was too difficult for Lu Zhi.

Lu Zhi was not angry this time. He nodded and signaled Ju Shou to take a seat. He then glanced at the military officials in the room and sighed. Then he supported the table with both hands and leaned forward, like a man-eating tiger, exuding a raging fighting spirit. He said:

"No matter whether the Taishan bandits are faint or virtuous, they are all enemies now. And what we have to do is not to speculate on the authenticity of his people here, or waste time discussing whether to go south. Instead, we must fight against the Hebei Yellow Turbans before the Taishan bandits go north.

Before the camp, defeat the Hebei Yellow Turbans in one fell swoop."

After saying this, Lu Zhi stood up directly, pointed at the map screen behind him with his chopsticks, and ordered:

"Now the Hebei Yellow Turbans are stationed in the east. I intend to divide our troops into three groups and attack the Hebei Yellow Turbans."

He drew out a command of arrows and said:
To be continued...
