You can take your troops to assist Lord Huangfu Song; he is currently fighting a great battle against Zhang Bao and Zhang Zhang Liang in Quyang with Zhu Jun.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Zhang Bao and Zhang Zhang Liang have many troops; you must act with caution.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Bei actually had this idea in mind for a long time. Soon, Lu Zhi would be framed for \"raising bandits to increase his own importance\" by the minor eunuch Zuo Feng for not giving a bribe, and Liu Hong would strip him of everything and sentence him to life imprisonment!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The impression this teacher left on him could be summed up in one word: Upright!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Liu Hong sold titles to make money, he submitted a memorial—Upright!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the Ten Eunuchs corrupted the government, he not only refused to bribe them but submitted a memorial—Upright!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Dong Zhuo wanted to depose the Emperor, he was still—Upright!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Bei admired such a person of integrity, but he would not become one himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dong Zhuo and Lu Zhi were two extremes; Dong Zhuo was defeated repeatedly, yet he was promoted repeatedly!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone admired Lu Zhi, but most wanted to become Dong Zhuo!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Bei smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Teacher, I came in a hurry and only prepared a small gift for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Zhi frowned, becoming angry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Liu Xuande, how have you still become tainted by that sort of thing!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Bei didn't mind and signaled for Zhao Yun to place the gift on the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Teacher, it is just some local specialties from my hometown of Zhuoxian. I thought that since you have been away from home for so many years, you must have not eaten them in a long time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Zhi opened it to see mooncakes and tribute rice from Zhuoxian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn't help but blush.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Liu Xuande, your teacher was rash. Do not take offense.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at these specialties, his eyes grew moist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have indeed not been back for many years.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Bei cupped his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Teacher, I have a request.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, what is it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>PS: Thanks to the big boss for the tip!
