Chapter 58 Lu Zhi

 Liu Chang followed Liu Bei into the camp and saw a large number of tents built in the camp, with soldiers standing guard and patrolling everywhere, looking orderly.

When Liu Chang saw this kind of camp with neat military appearance, he recalled the camp he built after exploring the military tactics, and said with great sigh: "General Lu Zhi is really good at managing the army. The camp is very organized everywhere. The soldiers are also very elite."

Liu Bei replied proudly: "Although Teacher Lu Zhi is famous for his great scholars, he is one of the rare civil and military talents in the world, and he has all kinds of military strategies and strategies."

Liu Chang thought of the evaluation of Lu Zhi in history books, and said to Liu Bei: "I have heard of the reputation of the great scholar Lu Zhi for a long time. I didn't expect that Brother Xuande was his disciple. After seeing General Lu Zhi a while, I have to trouble Brother Xuande to help me with a few good words."

Liu Bei said: "Brother Chang, don't worry, the teacher is one of the rare gentlemen in the world. Since Brother Chang is here to fight against the Yellow Turbans, I think the teacher will definitely not make things difficult for Brother Chang."

Liu Chang said: "It's good that way."

Liu Bei took Liu Chang through dozens of camp tents and arrived in front of the largest camp tent in the center. Several soldiers stood around the camp tent.

When one of them saw Liu Bei bringing Liu Chang over, he said, "Xuande brings people here. General Lu is already waiting." After looking up and down, he said, "He is indeed a good man."

Liu Bei nodded to him and said, "Okay, I understand."

The soldiers helped them uncover the curtains and said, "Then you two, please come in."

Liu Bei opened the curtain of the tent and walked in with Liu Chang. Liu Chang saw a middle-aged man with a handsome and handsome appearance lying on the table to deal with something.

He heard that someone had walked into the tent, so he raised his head and looked at the two of them.

Liu Bei bowed first, and Liu Chang was a little stunned and immediately bowed. Then Liu Bei said, "Disciple Liu Xuande and Liu Chang, the one who led the army to fight against the Yellow Turbans, came to pay homage to the teacher."

Lu Zhi nodded gently and said with a sound like a bell: "Is he asking me to see in front of the camp?"

Liu Bei said respectfully: "Teacher Qibing, it's this person."

After hearing this, Lu Zhi stood up and said, "Well, since he is a righteous man who is here to fight against the Yellow Turban bandits, please get up first."

When Liu Bei and Liu Chang heard this, they both stood up.

Lu Zhi walked to Liu Chang and looked him up and down and said, "It was you who led your people to repel the Yellow Turban bandits who were heading towards Zhongshan County? They are indeed young heroes."

Liu Chang said humbly: "This is the result of everyone working hard in Dingzhou, not the credit of me alone."

Lu Zhi suddenly looked gloomy and asked sternly: "So did you do the robbery of Liwu County and Dingzhou City? You just came here alone, aren't you afraid that I will take you down directly?"

This question was suddenly thrown out, which made Liu Chang feel a little panicked. However, Liu Chang had already thought about this question for a long time and immediately replied: "Report to General, the general is a gentleman and will not take me down at will. Although this matter was done by me, there is still a hidden truth in it. I hope the general will let me explain it in detail."

Liu Bei also quickly spoke to Liu Chang and said, "I heard that although Liu Chang had done thieves in Zhongshan County, he had never robbed the people. Instead, he eliminated the bandits and resisted the Yellow Turban bandits, helped others to survive repeatedly, and was quite renowned as a kind person. Please ask the teacher to take a closer look."

Lu Zhi's tone was eased and said, "You must have all kinds of reasons, so I won't listen to your explanation. Since the court allows the states and counties to recruit rebels on their own to fight against the Yellow Turban bandits, I will be considered as your rebel army. But you still need to think about it carefully in the future. Don't do this again."

Liu Chang hurriedly thanked and said, "Thank you, General, for your kindness, I will definitely act carefully in the future."

Lu Zhi continued to ask: "Since you are from Zhongshan County, what are the troubles of the Yellow Turban bandits along the way?"

Liu Chang said, "Report to General, I've come all the way. The Yellow Turban bandits are not active. Their main forces are already trapped here."

Lu Zhi nodded gently and asked, "Well, then how much do you know about the situation in Jizhou?"

Liu Chang explained: "Since the Yellow Turban bandits launched, I have never been to Jizhou again. However, based on the news I heard, the current situation in Jizhou is not optimistic."

Lu Zhi continued to ask, "Well, I understand. I heard that you are familiar with Zhang Jiao before, so why didn't you go with him to make trouble?"

Liu Chang suddenly said with a righteous look on his face: "If it is different, the Tao will not work together. Although the original intention of the great wise and good teachers is good, it will only bring himself and the world into the abyss. People with knowledge will stop him. So I will not stand with him."

After hearing this, Lu Zhi scolded with a solemn and stern voice: "You can hear that you still admire Zhang Jiao very much. Why do you still have expectations for such thieves? Don't you know that Zhang Jiao is?"

Liu Chang said with a little nervous expression: "The great wise and good teachers have been helping all over the years. I think they must be kind people, so I admire him."

Lu Zhi said with a somewhat mysterious expression: "Since you have identified one way, don't look at the other, otherwise neither side will accept you. He has robbed soldiers in various prefectures and counties, killing at will, causing chaos in the world. There is no mercy in his heart. Don't say these words again in the future."

Although Liu Chang didn't care, he hurriedly echoed: "Thank you, General, for your advice. I will definitely recognize the road as the general said. I will definitely not say this again in the future."

Lu Zhi walked over and patted Liu Chang on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "That's great. Since you can lead the troops to fight the Yellow Turban bandits together, I think you are concerned about the world. Then be a lieutenant under my command first. After the Yellow Turban bandits is wiped out, you can live without any blame for what you have done before. Such a heroic boy will definitely do something in the future, and don't go astray anymore."

Liu Chang immediately bowed and said, "Thank you for your teachings, I will always encourage myself and fight hard to repay the general's appreciation."

Lu Zhi smiled and said, "Then you can work hard. Xuande, you can take Liu Chang down first. Go to the camp corner to find a place for him to station there."

Liu Bei said, "Okay teacher, I will take Brother Chang to camp now."

Lu Zhi turned around and sat down at his previous position, picked up the official document he was dealing with before: "Since that's the case, then go down."
