In fact, from the conscience, Zhang Fei was actually very restrained at this time. If he hadn't been concerned that the old man was his elder brother's mentor and had taken great care of him before, he would have rushed up to beat the old man to the point of bruising and swollen face.

Liu Bei was originally going to apologize to the teacher and admit his mistakes, hoping that the teacher would forgive Zhang Fei for his years of friendship and for his third brother who was only eager to make contributions. However, he did not expect that Zhang Fei's temper was so furious. He pointed at Lu Zhi's nose and started scolding him. He immediately shouted that it was not good now.

Everyone next to him was shocked: This black man is so fierce. In this case, he dared to point at the commander's nose and curse? Is he stubborn or is he desperate?

At this time, Lu Zhi's nose was almost pissed. He thought that Lu Zi was not only a general of the Northern Central Army, but also a great scholar in the world. Whether in the court or in the Shilin, who would not give him a slight face? But the reckless man in front of him actually pointed at his nose, whispering grandpa and whispering to me, and he was also a sworn brother of his disciples. Then wouldn't his disciple become his grandpa or his son? Is it unbearable! Lu Zhi was so angry that he almost fainted. Fortunately, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun were hurriedly supporting him so that he would not let him fall. He was supported by Huangfu Song and pointed at Zhang Fei with his fingers, "You, you...you..." but he was so angry that he couldn't speak.

When Liu Bei saw Lu Zhiche being so angry, he was frightened and panicked. This was not how filial he was. He was worried that if his mentor was angry to death by his sworn brothers, he would become notorious. So he hurriedly walked up, held Lu Zhi, stroked his chest, and said, "Teacher, you are not well prepared. You can calm down and calm down."

Lu Zhi finally recovered and immediately shouted to his left and right: "Come on, drive this reckless man... for me... for him... for me!" Lu Zhi hesitated for a long time and finally did not make up his mind to order him to behead him, but he was just going to drive him out of the army. After all, this guy just pointed at his nose and scolded him. Although he would not kill him, he never wanted to see him again.

At this moment, Dong Zhuo said in a silence: "Lu Zhonglang, this reckless man committed a crime. Not to mention anything else, just a person who did not obey military orders and attacked without authorization would have to be sentenced to at least dozens of military sticks. Moreover, his actions also caused very serious consequences. In addition, he roared and insulted Shangguan. If he did not punish him severely, then what was the military law? Where was the power of the Han army?"

Although everyone was a little disliked Dong Zhuo's actions of putting in trouble, he had nothing to say. After all, what he said was the truth. If Zhang Fei was not Liu Bei's brother, if Liu Bei was not Lu Zhi's disciple, or if someone else did such a thing, Lu Zhi would definitely order him to behead him without saying a word.

At this time, Dong Zhuo said to Liu Bei again: "Duke Xuande, I have heard for a long time that you are a talented and virtuous person. How do you think you should deal with your sworn brother? I want to remind you that he violated military rules and destroyed the imperial court's plan to quell the chaos. If you do not punish him severely, it would be unfaithful. He insulted your mentor and almost fainted. If you punish him severely, it would be unfilial; he destroyed the military affairs, delayed the time for us to quell the chaos, and caused hundreds of millions of people across the country to escape from the sea of ​​suffering as soon as possible, and also caused us to lose hundreds of millions of Han soldiers. If you do not punish him severely, it would be unkind.

;If you refuse to make a choice and return the decision to your mentor and put the dilemma on him, it is unrighteous. Even if you don’t care about your reputation for being a righteous brother, you should think about your mentor. If he doesn’t kill your righteous brother with the military law, he will fall into disloyalty; if he kills him, he will fall into disloyalty again. You only have two choices, one is to decide for yourself, so that all the crimes are borne by yourself, but you will save your teacher from the embarrassment; the other is to return the decision to your teacher and let your teacher bear the crimes of infidelity or indecency."

Huangfu Song, Cao cāo and others around him couldn't help but change their faces when they heard Dong Zhuo say such heart-wrenching words. Although he only helped Liu Bei analyze the gains and losses of the two choices clearly. On the surface, he had no malice at all, and he looked like I was doing it for you, but everyone present could hear the sinister intentions hidden under his words. He did this completely blocked all Liu Bei's retreat and forced him to make a choice immediately. No matter which one he chose, it would have a great impact on his reputation. After some trade-offs, it seemed that severe punishment of Zhang Fei had the least impact: although some people said that he was a bit unrighteous in his love of justice, but this was also considered a past that could be explained by the righteousness.

However, Liu Bei was worried that Guan Yu would be disloyal to himself after severe punishment of Zhang Fei. Then he would be alone, so what would he talk about to achieve great things?

After hesitating for a while, Liu Bei suddenly had an inspiration in his mind and came up with a wonderful plan: I can use my own flesh plan instead of punishment, right? This not only can fulfill his reputation, but also completely make Zhang Fei and Guan Yu return to his heart.

Thinking of this, Liu Bei said to Lu Zhi: "Mr., I know that my third brother made an unforgivable mistake this time. As his elder brother, he did not stop him in time and also had the crime of lax supervision. I am willing to use my own punishment instead of punishment, so I only ask my teacher to spare my third brother."

The simple Zhang Fei and Guan Yu were indeed moved after hearing this.

Just when Liu Bei thought the plan had succeeded, Dong Zhuo stood up and said, "By the way, I forgot if you didn't say it. Putting aside your sworn brothers' relationship, are you still his sergeant in the army? If you didn't stop him in time, you would also be guilty of dereliction of duty. Since you are willing to be punished on Zhang Fei, then--" Speaking of this, Dong Zhuo said to Lu Zhi with great righteousness: "Lu Zhonglang, the last general will ask to kill Liu Bei, and use the military law to correct the law. Please let the general put down the friendship between teachers and students and enforce the law impartially!"

Wenmin couldn't help but mutter: What kind of deep hatred does this fat man Dong and Brother Bei have? He looks like he must be ruined.

After hearing this, Liu Bei was shocked and couldn't help but scold Fatty Dong for being too bullied and taking advantage of the situation. Although he planned to treat himself as a crime, he did not intend to die for him. Even if he had hundreds of military sticks, he would not want to be stabbed.

Lu Zhi hesitated and delayed his order.

Dong Zhuo said again: "Dear generals, I believe everyone knows the importance of the policy of showing the enemy as weak at the beginning. If we do not solve the impact of Zhang Fei's battle, we have almost no chance of winning. Now we can only behead Zhang Fei in front of the Yellow Turban Army in front of the formation to let go of our concerns and continue to confront us outside the city. Therefore, in order to quell the great cause of chaos, for the Han Dynasty, and for the thousands of soldiers, please give up your personal friendship for the time being."

If the words Dong Zhuo said before were just a way to Liu Bei, but now this sentence is a fatal blow, everyone present was a little moved after hearing this. It seems that this is the only way to do it now. Moreover, Zhang Fei had committed a serious crime and was deserved to be beheaded. It is very worthwhile to use his death to exchange for hope for victory.
