Zuo Feng has indeed been to Jizhou. This eunuch who was responsible for the emperor's fate is more slick than loaches. It is inevitable to ask for bribes. Why? Others don't know that Zuo Feng still doesn't know the emperor's mind. He came to Jizhou to find fault. No matter whether there are any problems or not, Zuo Feng must find out the problem. As for the benefits of asking for bribes, it is not for nothing. If you ask for it, you won't help Lu Zhi. At most, it will turn the death penalty into a living crime.

So, did Lu Zhi bribe Zuo Feng? I don’t know, anyway, Lu Zhi just took it back to the capital to question him. When he arrived, he was just a job and lost his official position. So did you say he bribed him?

Of course, this is just a malicious guess. As the saying goes, people with Buddha in their hearts see Buddhas, and people with shit in their hearts see shit. History books record that Lu Zhi refused to bribe Zuo Feng, which led to Zuo Feng's crimes for Lu Zhi, prompting Lu Zhi to seize the post and investigate.

Lu Zhi was escorted back to Beijing in a prison car. Is it a crime? "I am afraid of the enemy, waste military funds, and have ulterior motives." It was originally a death penalty. For Lu Zhi's past contributions, the emperor reduced his death penalty and deprived him of his official position for the people.

Lu Zhi's prison van returns to Beijing, which is a historical plot mission. The Yellow Turban Army camp released the mission of attacking Lu Zhi, while the imperial camp released the mission of escorting loyal ministers back to Beijing. These two missions are quite funny and are considered by the majority of players to be a joke of the big brain.

In fact, if the parties to the two tasks were compared, it seemed more in line with the political struggle background at that time. The Yellow Turbans tried their best to protect Lu Zhi, so that the court would hate Lu Zhi even more, confirming the rumors of Lu Zhi's ambiguous relationship with the Yellow Turban Army; and the court's killing Lu Zhi seemed more in line with the interests of both the imperial power and the aristocratic clans. At least it was a killing of the chicken to warn those stubborn and neutral factions.

However, this world is dominated by the Intelligent Brain, so the Intelligent Brain insists that everyone carry out plot tasks according to the plots in Romance and historical books. The players have no objection, just think it is a bit funny, so there are only a little weird things.

It’s a pity that Liu Bei is now jumping up and down Jingzhou and organizing troops. He is preparing to attack Runan and Jingbei Yellow Turban Army, but he cannot come to escort his teacher. As for Gongsun Zan, although he is stepping up his way south, it seems that he has not sent additional cavalry to chase Lu Zhi to protect him except for his loud voice. On the contrary, Gongsun Zan’s troops are advancing rapidly towards Jingxian, wanting to take Jingxian as his stronghold in southern Jizhou.

However, some people are reluctant to let Jingxian fall into Gongsun Zan's hands, and that person is Fang Zhiwen.

The defenders of Jing County are now Han Fu's people. When Han Fu learned from Fang Zhiwen that Gongsun Zan was coming to Jingxian, he couldn't help but feel nervous. To be honest, Han Fu was really a little too timid. After the war in Xindu, Fang Zhiwen did not go south to Anping County as Ju Su expected. Han Fu actually quietly moved Nangong's troops south and retreated back to Qinghe County. He did not want to confront Yuan Shao in Anping County head-on, and as for Jing County, there were not many guards.

However, this may also be a strategy of Ju Shu, who wanted to take advantage of the opportunity when the imperial court ordered the border troops to go south to assist in the war, give up Nangong and Jingxian, and let those who occupy Nangong or Jingxian face Yuan Shao's anger.

Of course, those who dared to occupy Nangong and Jingxian were nothing more than a few people from the north, Lu Bu, Fang Zhiwen and Gongsun Zan, who were not a good deal of fuel. They gave up the cities of Jingxian and Nangong and other Anping County. On the one hand, Han Fu showed his weakness to the enemy and reduced his troops to deal with the difficulties and suppression that followed Dong Zhuo's coming to power. On the other hand, it also created conflicts between Yuan Shao and the northern border troops. If you think about this, Han Fu's actions are understandable, but Han Fu's image of weakness was confirmed.

Gongsun Zan's actions in Zheng County were obviously not giving Fang Zhiwen a face, and even slapped him in the face. Of course, Fang Zhiwen was not the kind of person who spit on his own. When he learned that Gongsun Zan was trying to occupy Jing County, Fang Zhiwen took the lead without hesitation. Although Jing County had no residents at all and was a pure fortress city, Fang Zhiwen valued the geographical location of Jing County more.

This is a very suitable location from the battlefield. It is more than 200 miles from Quzhou to Julu and 300 miles from Julu, which is the best distance for cavalry to exert its power. To the south, it is Guangzong, which was originally controlled by Lu Zhi. The north is Nangong. If Gongsun Zan is stationed in Nangong, he will not be able to touch the border of the Guangping War. Not only will Gongsun Zan be dissatisfied, but the newly appointed Dong Zhuo will not agree.

If you continue to move south, you can only stay on Dong Zhuo's territory or Han Fu's territory. What's more serious is that your logistics channel is very long and will be blocked by Fang Zhiwen or Yuan Shao at any time. Gongsun Zan now has to accept this uncomfortable situation, unless he chooses to stay in the wild or conquer Jingxian. The question is, does he dare?

Gongsun Zan really didn't dare to go south after receiving the imperial edict, but Gongsun Zan didn't dare not come. He was hesitating whether to send his cousin to the south or to go south personally. Under Guan Jing's explanation, Gongsun Zan finally understood that going south was not for war, but for post-war dividends. In the face of such a strong official army, even if it was not a mob, the Yellow Turban Army would not be able to protect Guangping and Quzhou, and even Julu became a problem.

If Gongsun Zan had not been in person, he would have been excluded and gained nothing. Therefore, Gongsun Zan had to come. If he didn't come, even Jizhou would have no right to gain a foothold. At that time, it was still a question whether Zheng County could be preserved.

On the contrary, if Gongsun Zan went south, Zheng County would be safer. At least before the end of the Battle of Guangping, no one would risk the world's ruthlessness to take the initiative to attack Zheng County. Of course, leaving enough defenders in Zheng County is also a very necessary precaution.

However, going south is not such a simple matter. You cannot really hand over the command of the troops honestly and then be used as cannon fodder. Instead, you must strive to have considerable autonomy in using troops under the premise of full participation, and it is best to gain the greatest benefit with the smallest losses.

To achieve this goal, the first thing is to strive for a stronghold that is relatively free and far away from Guangping, but can intervene in time on the Guangping battlefield. The best location of this stronghold is Jingxian. When Gongsun Zan quickly whips up and wants to occupy Jingxian before the new commander-in-chief of Jizhou takes office, Fang Zhiwen takes the lead and seizes Jingxian, which has been regarded as his territory by Gongsun Zan.

Gongsun Zan looked at Fang Zhiwen's battle flag flying on the head of Jingxian City, and was so angry that his silver teeth were shattered and his chest was tight. But the fact was the fact, unless Gongsun Zan dared to start a war, otherwise, this fact could not be changed.

Gongsun Zan left Jingxian in depression, found a field to lay down the camp first, and then planned the next step of action.

On the other hand, Lu Bu is also hurriedly moving south. Of course, he will not come to protect Lu Zhi's life. His plan is the same as Gongsun Zan. He wants to deploy the troops in the most favorable position for him before the new commander takes office. Even if the new commander has any requirements, Lu Bu can use his troops' posture to facilitate the attack and make excuses.

Lu Bu's movements were very fast, which was completely different from his previous situation, because the smart people around him told him that once the new commander-in-chief of Jizhou took office, Lu Bu lost the opportunity to occupy a good position and could only obey the other party's instructions. This passive situation was naturally not something that the proud Lu Bu was willing to accept.

Almost with Gongsun Zan. Lu Bu also led 20,000 cavalry to Jingxian, while the other 10,000 infantry were still far behind. However, Jingxian, which Lu Bu chose the first, had indeed fallen into the hands of the cunning Fang Zhiwen. Whether it was due to his personal character or the great name, Lu Bu did not think of forcing Jingxian from Fang Zhiwen. But Fang Zhiwen did not think so.

"Zhiwen, what do you mean? I, Lu Fengxian, are you such a person who forgets righteousness when you see profit?"

The wine glass raised by Lu Bu froze and blinked. Lu Bu put the wine glass heavily on the desk table, with an unexpected look on his face. However, he felt a little thought in his heart. Fang Zhiwen was willing to give up Jingxian on his own initiative. Lu Bu actually wanted to accept such a good thing.

"Fengxian misunderstood. I asked Fengxian to station Jingxian, but it had nothing to do with other reasons, just because I wanted a relatively stable ally to stand behind me."

Fang Zhiwen said with a smile, and he would not be influenced by the powerful aura of Lu Bu at all. Instead, he looked contented. Speaking of which, the generals here are indeed famous generals, but in general, Fang Zhiwen even has some advantage, but there are probably not many people who can feel under Lu Bu's momentum.

"Oh, what do you mean? Could it be that Zhiwen plans to build a camp in the wilderness near Jingxian?" Zhang Liao asked curiously.

"That's right, you are all old people on the battlefield. I believe you can see that if you want to attack Julu from Jingxian, the best solution is to cross the water to the west, or to raid Quzhou and directly attack Julu or Pingxiang. The key to crossing the water is Boluojin on the banks of the water to the west of Jingxian. I want to station in Boluojin. This is a key place, and I don't want this place to fall into Gongsun Zan's hands."

Fang Zhiwen casually turned his gaze to the huge map on the side, guiding everyone's eyes. On the edge of the Laoshui thirty miles west of Jingxian County, there is a very small ferry. Although this ferry is small, if you want to quickly get through Laoshui, this is the best place to cross the river. After passing Laoshui, you can face the side back of the Julu defense line, which is definitely a very good attack point.

On the other hand, Fang Zhiwen and Lu Bu's troops have only 40,000 cavalry units. It seems that they are a little overwhelmed if they want to divide their troops and station in Jingxian and Bo Luojin at the same time. Moreover, it is not yet a war, and when the war begins, the troops will be even more exhausted. Therefore, joining Lu Bu and firmly grasping this key point of Jingxian is Fang Zhiwen's real plan.

In addition, Bo Luojin is right next to the water, which is a good place to use the river transportation to replenish materials. Fang Zhiwen naturally would not let go of this place easily. More importantly, Fang Zhiwen's subordinates are all cavalry, and trapping in the city is definitely not what cavalry should do. The so-called cavalry defense should be an active mobile defense, so it doesn't matter whether there is a city or not. Fang Zhiwen occupied Jingxian and just wanted to drive Gongsun Zan to the south. If Gongsun Zan occupied Jingxian, how could Fang Zhiwen stationed in Bo Luojin, a camp that he had chosen early! (To be continued)
