Chapter Sixty Four Dismissal from Office

 It has been a little while since Zuo Feng left. The camp always filled with an uneasy atmosphere.

Finally one day, a team of people from Luoyang came to the camp set up by Lu Zhi.

Lu Zhi led his subordinates to greet them. After they arrived at the camp, they shouted to everyone:

"We are here to enfeoff the emperor's imperial edict. We will dismiss Lu Zhi's position, be sent into a prison car, and take Luoyang back to wait for the emperor's ruling."

As soon as this said, except for a few people who were prepared in their hearts, the rest were panicked.

Lu Zhi straightened his clothes freely and said, "Since that's the case, where is the prison car? I'll go up by myself."

A man beside Lu Zhi asked loudly: "Now we are stationing troops under the Yellow Turban thieves' city. How can we change generals in the last battle? If we lose the opportunity for the fight, what should we do?"

The person in charge said, "General Dong, the general of the Eastern Central Army, will arrive here soon. Before that, General Liu will temporarily control you and others." As he said that, he signaled Liu Chang.

"Sir the emperor's order, and grant Liu Chang the position of the governor of Zhongshan County, the general of the Punishment of the Central Army. The troops of this unit will be temporarily controlled and can only be done cheaply after Dong Zhuo arrives." He waved his hand again, and then the people behind him submitted a seal for Liu Chang.

Liu Chang immediately knelt down on the ground and took the seal, saying gratefully: "Thank you the emperor for your kindness, I will definitely repay the emperor for your great kindness."

The visitor was about to nod and say ok.

At the same time, the man who had been refuted before was furious, then pulled out the long sword from his waist and pointed it at Liu Chang and shouted angrily: "I knew it must be you who colluded with the eunuch party for your own glory and wealth to trap General Lu. Today I should eliminate you, a traitor for the country." After that, he held up his long sword and was about to stab Liu Chang.

The people around and left quickly stepped forward and held his hand and said, "Don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive, how can you in front of an angel to hurt someone?"

After Lu Zhi looked at him with a complicated expression, he said, "Put down the sword in his hand, this matter has nothing to do with General Liu. I will tell you in the future."

The man who was pulled left and right left dropped the sword in his hand, and then sighed again.

Then Lu Zhi walked between his disciple and Liu Chang, pulled him up and apologized and said, "I should apologize to you for my disciple."

Liu Chang quickly interrupted Lu Zhi's movement and said, "Don't do this, he is just worried about the teacher. I don't care."

The man riding on the horse scolded, "This man is indifferent to the king's laws. We have passed on the emperor's orders on behalf of others. After many people are dissatisfied, they even attempt to commit crimes on the spot. The left and right took him down and sent him to Luoyang to wait for his defeat."

After he finished speaking, two strong men came out behind him and pressed the man to the ground.

After hearing this, Lu Zhi shook his head and said to the man who had drawn his sword before, "Forget it, let's go back to Luoyang with me." He said to the two of them, "Let him go, I will definitely guarantee that he will not do anything extreme."

The two looked at the person in the head, and the person in the head nodded and said, "Since the great scholar said that, you can let him go." As he said that, he sarcastically said, "Hmph, you are such a reckless person. Your move will definitely affect your teacher Lu Zhi."

After hearing this, this person's face revealed

Liu Chang respectfully said to the knights: "It's getting late, please rest in the camp for one night. Let's set off again tomorrow."

Seeing that Liu Chang was so polite, the knight in the lead said, "Okay, I'll rest here for one night today." He also arranged for the people behind him to say, "Lu Zhi is taken into custody, and this kind of thing that happened before cannot happen again. Otherwise, it will be difficult for us to get back."

Liu Chang settled everyone down and hosted these knights in his tent.

The leader said with some confusion: "Since the general is restraining this place, why not move into the central army camp where Lu Zhi was before?"

Liu Chang explained: "Since I am just temporarily restrained, the Central Army camp should be left behind by General Dong, the general of the Eastern Central Army. How could I live without permission? This is unreasonable."

"General Liu is such a smart person. No wonder Zuohuangmen kept praising you before I left."

Liu Chang said modestly: "The Zuo Huangmen is absurd. I have promised to send things from the Zuo Huangmen to Luoyang soon."

"Zuo Huangmen asked me to tell you that although the emperor promised you to be the magistrate of Zhongshan County, all the money and property he had to be saved in the past few years. And these are the emperor's intentions. Just don't blame him for his poor work in your heart."

Liu Chang said sincerely: "I am very grateful to Zuohuangmen who can help me. How could I blame him in my heart?"

"That would be great."

The few people were having a good time together. After all, Liu Chang went to visit Lu Zhi who was being detained.

When Liu Chang went over, he saw Liu Bei and others talking with Lu Zhi.

When the others saw Liu Chang coming, they looked contemptuous. Only Lu Zhi and Liu Bei still treated Liu Chang with serious expressions. After Lu Zhi stopped several disciples who wanted to speak, he said, "What's wrong with General Liu coming this time?"

"Mr. Lu is about to be escorted to Luoyang, and I will come to see Mr. Lu off."

The person locked up next to him shouted at Liu Chang: "If it weren't for you, how could the teacher be escorted to Luoyang?"

Lu Zhi interrupted him directly and said, "I said that this matter has nothing to do with General Liu, so don't mention it anymore."

Then Lu Zhi said to Liu Chang with a gentle face: "I gave you a word before, and I agreed to his request. After this farewell, I wonder if we will see you again."

After hearing this, Liu Chang immediately bowed to Lu Zhi and said, "Thank you, Mr. Lu, for taking the word for me." He turned to Liu Bei and said, "I also want to thank Brother Xuande for saying to me."

Liu Bei refused and said, "It's the teacher who valued you."

After thinking for a moment, Lu Zhi said, "Your name is Chang, and it is indeed a person's name. The day goes by Chang, you are passionate and ambitious. The night goes by dark. I will give you the word "Huanzhi". I hope you can understand the doctrine of the mean."

Liu Chang thanked again and said, "Thank you, Mr. Lu, I will definitely understand the meaning of it."

Lu Zhi said with some concern: "But after I left, I hope General Liu can treat the soldiers in the camp well. Don't force them to attack Guangzong County before the siege equipment was built."

Liu Chang said: "I just temporarily restrain the soldiers here for several days. After all, it depends on General Dong's intention."

Lu Zhi thought about it and said in a helpless tone: "General Liu said that, then let him go. But if he can, I hope General Liu can persuade General Dong to persuade him."

"If there is anything unwise in General Dong's decision, I will definitely recommend him."

"It's so good, so I feel relieved."

Liu Chang put a bottle of wine in Lu Zhi's prison car, and then said, "After the prison car leaves the camp, Mr. Lu should drink it himself."

"Hehehe, then thank you General Liu for giving it to you."
