When Zhao Xing received the imperial decree, Lu Zhi and Yuan Shao also received similar decrees. Yuan Shao immediately led his army to withdraw from outside Taocheng to Gaoyi, the capital of Jizhou. This time, the Bingzhou army brought by Zhao Xing was too irritating to Yuan Shao, and now he was anxious to go back and train again. If he knew that a super talented man who trained in Gaoyi City was new and was ready to serve him, Yuan Shao would probably be so happy that he would pull his mouth behind his ear.

Yuan Shao left, but Lu Zhi did not rush to return to Luoyang. He stayed outside Taocheng in the temple but was waiting for someone. Lu Zhi was waiting for his student Liu Bei to lead his army to surrender. A few years ago, although Liu Bei was ambushed by Zhang Yan while attacking the Heishan Army and returned in vain. However, he was in a prosperous area in Zhuo County and was quite famous, and he indeed cleared out the Yellow Turban monsters in Zhuo County in Youzhou. For this reason, Lu Zhi wrote a letter to the court, vigorously recommending Liu Bei to join the court as an official and contributing to the Han court that was in danger.

Lu Zhi actually had his own ideas about how to prevent and fight against Zhao Xing. He saw one thing clearly, that is, it was difficult to exterminate Zhao Xing, who had already achieved great momentum in a short period of time. To deal with Zhao Xing, one must first take action from above. The power of the court must be integrated, and many disadvantages must be eliminated and some serious diseases must be cured. Only by fighting with Zhao Xing, who owns a state, can one ensure an invincible place.

To realize such ambition and ideal, Lu Zhi was very short of helpers. Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun two old friends were good at leading troops to fight. They could deal with court disputes, play tricks with others, but lacked in fighting strategies. Liu Bei was the best helper in Lu Zhi's mind, and Lu Zhi even had the idea of ​​passing the robe and bowl to Liu Bei. Liu Bei was originally a descendant of the Han Dynasty, and was quite cunning and had the aura of a prince. Even if the Han Dynasty was brought to Liu Bei the next day, it was not considered usurpation. What's more, Lu Zhi has not seen that Liu Bei had such a disobedient heart.

The court was chaotic by the relatives and eunuchs, but the descendants of the royal family were worse than those of the generation. Liu Bei was able to form a team without providing any support to recruit many civil and military personnel, which proved his extraordinary ability. If Liu Bei was sent to a high position in the court in the future and serve as a representative of military relatives such as Lu Zhi, Huangfu Song, and Zhu Yi, he could fight against the relatives, eunuchs and aristocratic families, and he would hope to completely eliminate these remnants and give the Han people a clean and clear court.

After receiving the secret letter from his teacher Lu Zhi, Liu Bei was so excited that he did not fall asleep all night. He knew very well that the teacher invited him to return to Luoyang this time was his most important opportunity. As long as he seized it, it was not impossible to be a marquis and prime minister. Liu Bei, who had been relying on weaving mats and selling shoes to make a living, suffered too much cold eyes and ridicule. As a descendant of the Han royal family, this stimulation made Liu Bei's mind mature earlier. On countless nights, he dreamed of soaring into the sky and trampling those who laughed at him and despised him in the past!

Now, Liu Bei's opportunity has come! After receiving Lu Zhi's secret letter, Liu Bei took his brothers and advisers without hesitation, and under the escort of two thousand well-trained soldiers, he went south to Jizhou Tao and defected to the imperial army.

When Zhao Xing, who was in Taocheng in the temple, received a report from the Shadow Team members, Liu Bei was only two days away from Lu Zhi. As an outsider, Zhao Xing was not domineering on the ground in Jizhou, and he could do whatever he wanted. He was discussing with his civil and military personnel how to deal with Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao brothers, and he had to let Liu Bei go south to surrender to Lu Zhi. He had thought of a similar way to Yuan Shao's plan for him, that was, ambush the killer halfway and stab Liu Da's ear in the middle of the way. But when Zhao Xing thought that Liu Bei had Zhang Fei, Gao Lan and Han Meng and other men escorted him, he immediately gave up this idea and it would be worth the life of his Shadow Team members...

"Students have met their mentor!" After Liu Bei came to Lu Zhi's tent, he knelt down and bowed and gave a big gift to Lu Zhi.

"Xuande, please get up!" Lu Zhi pulled Liu Bei up with high speed, and carefully brushed the dust on Liu Bei's knees with his hands. "Xuande has been traveling for days and has been exhausted on the journey. Let's sit down and rest first!" Lu Zhi pulled Liu Bei and sat down.

"Mr., the students are not working hard. Let me introduce my brothers and counselors to me first!" Then Liu Bei introduced Han Rong, Zhang Fei, Gao Lan, Han Meng, Han Qiong, Jian Yong, Chen Zhen, Chen Qun, Chen Lin and others to Lu Zhi in turn. Lu Zhi met with him one by one. After the conversation, Lu Zhi gave Liu Bei's ability in his mind.

As a famous teacher who taught the apprentice at the opening of the museum, Lu Zhi saw countless people. He could tell a rough idea after a conversation. Liu Bei's group of people did not have a single bag of wine. Like Zhang Fei and Gao Lan in the military generals, Chen Qun and Chen Zhen in the scholars, they could achieve something big. Although the other few people were slightly inferior, they were rare talents. Especially the veteran Han Rong, although he was old, he was good at training troops, and had a superb spear technique. He also brought a few sons and nephews with extraordinary martial arts. He was really a father-son soldier.

Lu Zhi was very happy that Liu Bei came to bid, and immediately ordered someone to take out the Changhe Daqu gift that Zhao Xing gave him when he came to Jizhou this time, and the master and apprentice drank it. Liu Bei was also grateful for Lu Zhi's strong support and secretly decided to follow the teacher's unparalleled achievements.

Liu Bei really found a big backer this time! With his brothers following him, Lu Zhi, Huangfu Song, Zhu Yan and others taking care of him, I will know where Liu Bei can get in the court in the future. But what is certain is that Zhao Xing's opponent is becoming stronger and stronger!

Putting aside the drunken master and apprentice Lu Zhi and his disciples, Zhao Xing attacked Zhang Liang, but Zhang Bao's plan was finalized.

"Everyone, the court gave me a big hat of "Youji to fight the bandit envoy" this time, and Lu and Yuan retreated their troops one after another, but they were just fighting to consume the strength of Bingzhou. This was clearly seen from the time we sent troops. The court had the idea of ​​the court, and we had our idea. The court wanted to consume Bingzhou, so he asked Bingzhou to send troops; Bingzhou wanted to grow stronger, so he was willing to send troops. This sounded contradictory, but in fact it was not contradictory!" Zhao Xing said this at the military analysis meeting.

"As long as we plan properly and exchange the smallest casualties for the greatest victory, we can preserve our strength and gain a large amount of population and wealth, such as the Battle of Tao. However, the soldiers are in constant force, and the water is in constant form. Lu and Yuan did not move their troops a while ago. The news of the Battle of Cherry must have been leaked. If it is used for Nanpi and Leicheng, then our side is likely to suffer setbacks. Our principle is to exchange the largest results at the lowest price, so my combat plan is..." Whenever we talk about how to arrange troops, Zhao Xing is always passionate, full of vitality and fighting spirit. His emotions also greatly infected the civil and military officials in the tent.

When Zhao Xing told everyone about how he dealt with Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao's plan, everyone in the tent kept silent and silently reviewed what Zhao Xing had just said. Everyone was no longer surprised by some new terms that Zhao Xing often proposed. But this time Zhao Xing shocked everyone a bit, so no one has spoken out yet.

In the end, everyone just nodded in favor and did not find many problems. It seems that Zhao Xing’s two tailor-made funeral plans for Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao were unanimously approved.
