Chapter 409: I will help you regain military power
Deathly silence.
Lu Zhi's expression suddenly fell into confusion, and his mind was shaken.
The rest of the people in the tent were stunned.
Liu Guanzhang looked at Li Mengxi in surprise, and the three of them had different expressions.
Zhang Fei wanted to laugh but didn't. He looked like he was just watching the excitement and didn't mind it.
Guan Yu looked solemn.
Liu Bei opened his mouth again and again, but stopped talking.
After coming back from his trance, Lu Zhi looked at Li Mengxi blankly and murmured, "...you said I am unfaithful and unjust?"
"No." Li Mengxi said with a slight smile, "I mean Master Lu is a little loyal and a little righteous, but a big disloyalty and a big injustice."
Lu Zhi was stunned for a long time, his lips trembling. Suddenly Lu Zhi raised his head and laughed, with a sad face, "Okay! That's good! I am really an unfaithful and unjust person. Lu deserves to die, I really deserve to die!"
Lu Zhi laughed miserably, tears streaming down his face, as if he was crazy.
On the sidelines, Liu Bei couldn't stand it anymore.
Bang! Liu Bei jumped up and shouted angrily, "Xi'er, shut up! Master Lu is a junior like you, so you can't make such nonsense!"
As he spoke, Liu Bei looked furious, jumped over the shorter ones, rushed toward Li Mengxi, and reached out to catch Li Mengxi.
"Brother! (Brother!)"
Guan and Zhang panicked and hurriedly stopped him.
Li Mengxi was grabbed by the collar and dragged to the middle of the tent by Liu Bei, "Kneel down!"
Liu Bei reprimanded.
Li Mengxi had a clear mind and knew that Liu Bei was not necessarily really angry so he was angry just to appease Lu Zhi.
Kneel down, kneel down.
Li Mengxi finally pulled up his clothes and knelt on the ground with a plop.
After Li Mengxi knelt down, Liu Bei also knelt down next to Li Mengxi with a plop.
"Teacher, please forgive Xi'er for his young organization and his unbridled speech."
Liu Bei fell to the ground.
At the main seat, Lu Zhi, whose eyes were red and sobbing sadly, wiped away his tears and sighed helplessly, "Xuande, why are you embarrassing this child? What he said, little friend, is not wrong. I, Lu Zhi, am indeed
It’s wrong to do something wrong.”
Lu Zhi came down and helped Liu Bei and Li Mengxi, "Please get up quickly."
After the interlude.
Li Mengxi returned to his seat again.
At this time, the atmosphere was a little more harmonious.
Lu Zhi was so sad that he couldn't stop sobbing. He couldn't laugh or cry, "Alas, I have become an unfaithful and unjust person in the end."
"Master Lu's words are serious." Liu Bei enlightened.
At this time, Li Mengxi said again, "Now the imperial court has ordered powerful people from all over the country to recruit local warriors to prepare for the Yellow Turbans.
As soon as this example is started, the powerful will become bigger and bigger.
As the saying goes, armed with a sharp weapon, a murderous intention arises.
I dare to ask Master Lu, if there is a powerful man who leads a heavy army, but he has a rebel heart at this time and leads the army directly to Luoyang, what kind of response can the court possibly have?"
Li Mengxi's words shocked Lu Zhi, "Nothing...nothing, we can't be like this..." Lu Zhi lost his composure and faltered. Lu Zhi did not even dare to look at Li Mengxi who was sitting next to him.
Li Mengxi asked, "How did Master Lu know that there was nothing? How did he know that he should not do this? What if there is a powerful rebellion?"
Master Lu is the man in charge of the Han Dynasty's military and military equipment. How can he not pay attention to this important matter of the country, a matter of life and death?"
Lu Zhi was in a state of confusion, and the three people in the tent, Liu, Guan, and Zhang, also looked like they were thinking.
"The great Han Dynasty originally had pillars that could intimidate all directions and terrify all the ministers. But..." Li Mengxi looked at Lu Zhi and shook his head regretfully, "The only combatable army in the imperial court was originally in the hands of Master Lu. With such a powerful army,
, then the Han Dynasty has no worries at all.
But now, the army of pillars has fallen into inhuman hands.
If the imperial court loses a pillar and a high-ranking official like Master Lu, wouldn't it be in danger if there is a slight storm?"
"As for Dong Zhuo, I expect that he will cause chaos in the country sooner or later. Dong Zhuo controls Xiliang and has strong soldiers and horses. Now he has stolen the imperial troops and horses. In addition, this person is a relative.
In ancient times, there have been countless disasters caused by relatives, and now we are in a period of crisis. So if Dong Zhuo rebels, who can stop him?"
Li Mengxi just analyzed a possibility, and everyone in the tent was shocked and worried.
It was fine that Liu Guanzhang didn't know what kind of person Dong Zhuo was, but Lu Zhi had many quarrels with Dong Zhuo and knew that Dong Zhuo was domineering and ruthless and that Dong Zhuo was unreliable.
Now that the imperial court is weak and weak, will Dong Zhuo bring chaos to the country? When Lu Zhi thought about the terrible consequences, his face turned ashen.
(What a disaster!) Lu Zhi wailed in his heart. If he had known this, the imperial envoys would come and avoid him until the war was over. He said that he should not hand over military power to Dong Zhuo.
As for the traitor Zuo Feng, alas, a man can bend and stretch, but it would be unwise to offend Zuo Feng in a moment of anger!
Thinking of this, Lu Zhi's eyes were full of debt. When Zuo Feng asked for money, he should have killed Zuo Feng with a sword. After the war, he took Zuo Feng's head and returned to Luoyang to confront him, saying that Zuo Fengqiang wanted to bribe him.
, let the princes of the court judge, how could they be controlled by this traitor?
Besides, with a large army in hand, even if the military power is not handed over, what can the court do?
It is better to have soldiers and horses in Lu's hands, or soldiers and horses of the imperial court, than entrusting them to non-human beings. For this reason, what if there is some criticism of disobedience and disloyalty?
The state affairs are so big, how can one have a clear name and dominate the world?
Thinking of his regrets, "Oh!" Lu Zhi let out a long sigh, clenched his fist and punched the table.
Lu Zhi finally figured it out now, but it was too late.
Lu Zhi raised his head and looked at the young man.
The young man seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
Recalling the young man's sharp words just now, Lu Zhi sighed with emotion, this young man's unique vision is not as good as his own.
At this time, Lu Zhi saw again that the young man sitting down bowed his hands again.
"Now, the mistake has been made and it is too late to regret it, but there is no way to remedy it." The young man said quietly.
Lu Zhi hurriedly asked, "What's the remedy?"
Li Mengxi looked at Lu Zhi and asked, "May I ask Master Lu how many troops he had before he left the army?"
"More than eighteen thousand." Lu Zhi replied.
Li Mengxi asked again, "How does Master Lu manage the army?"
Lu Zhi hesitated for a moment and said, "You should be able to run the army fairly well."
Li Mengxi nodded when he heard this, "Since we can manage the army well, I guess the army's morale is against us, and there are many people who follow Master Lu."
Li Mengxi thought for a while and then asked, "When Master Lu left the army, Dong Zhuo took over the military power. I expected that Dong Zhuo was definitely not alone.
May I ask Master Lu, how many people are there in Dong Zhuo’s headquarters?”
Lu Zhi frowned slightly and thought for a moment, "Dong Zhuo's headquarters has more than a thousand elite cavalry."
At this point, it’s clear.
Li Mengxi looked directly at Lu Zhi and said, "
Master Lu managed the army strictly and had many sergeants to obey him.
Dong Zhuo was incompetent in running an army, and he also wanted to exclude dissidents. The soldiers would not want to follow Dong Zhuo.
Dong Zhuo's army is weak, and the remedy is here."
As Li Mengxi spoke, he stepped out, walked to the center, and bowed to Lu Zhi, "Our rebel army has nearly ten thousand soldiers and horses, and Dong Zhuo's thousand cavalry is nothing!"
We are willing to help Master Lu regain military power!"
Li Mengxi's voice was clear and clear, and Lu Zhi was suddenly startled. Lu Zhi said in his heart, this kid is so brave.
Seeing this, Liu, Guan, and Zhang in the tent also walked to the tent and said, "We are willing to help Master Lu regain military power!" Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei all clasped their fists and declared that they were willing to serve.
Li Mengxi said clearly and neatly that he would go back and seize military power.
Liu, Guan, and Zhang were firm and expressed their full support.
