Tian Feng frowned and said, "Lord, I can't think of why those rebellious families united their troops, but I know that the Duke and the postponement order are not the fundamental reason for the aristocratic families this time! The Duke and the postponement order were a day and a half ago. Tian Yu learned that our army had an ambush, so he fled to Julu, contacted the aristocratic families everywhere, and then gathered the aristocratic families together to attack Julu City, and then attacked Handan City. Even if there were a large family rebellion in Julu City, Handan City, it would take ten days for the aristocratic coalition troops to do all this..././"

Dong Zhao also nodded and said, "Lord, what is Yuan Hao saying? The reason why those rebel families united their troops should be that they had discovered our strategy of luring the enemy into each other ten days ago."

Lu Bu nodded in affirming Tian Feng and Dong Zhao's inference, but he soon discovered a question: "How do you explain that Tian Yu from Julu Tian's family would have gone deep into Yecheng alone two days ago?"

Tian Feng smiled wryly and said, "By using humble power, because humble power is under the lord's command, those rebel families did not believe in Tian Yu deeply. They saw through the lord's plan, but did not tell Tian Yu, just let Tian Yu be the front pawn, and try whether the lord really has a plan to lure the enemy into each of them to defeat them."

Ju Su, who was kneeling on the ground, said sadly: "To be honest, the aristocratic family that came to pick up Tian Yu is the family of Beiyi. Our Guangping Ju family also has a bad sheep. It is Ju Su, the younger brother of Beiyi. Ju Su was selected by the elders of the Ju family to handle family affairs on behalf of the Ju family. He was not in a snake heart and wanted to swallow the elephant, and wanted to rely on those rebellious families to get official positions in the court for himself. It's a pity that he was foolish and was used as a gun envoy by those rebellious families!"

Lu Bu looked at Tian Feng coldly, Ju Su, he really could not have imagined that he trusted these two great strategists so much that his family actually participated in the rebellion against him, and how could such a family make him trust these two people again?

Those military generals and strategists from poor families, such as Huang Zhong, Jia Xu and others, looked at Tian Feng and Ju Su coldly. They originally didn't like these aristocratic figures who followed their lords. After such things, they could not trust them.

Hua Xiong, who was kneeling on the ground, heard Ju Su's words, suddenly stood up and roared: "Lord, you can't let these two people take charge of the Military Affairs Council anymore. That is to send our poor generals to the rebels of the aristocratic families. We dare not obey the military orders they issued in the future!"

Lu Bu cried out: "Since Tian Yu is a traitor, you should make a decision immediately. Scoop him down. If Tian Feng dares to take revenge on you later, you can tell me the marquis, why bother to ask the Military Affairs Council for such a move in order to be afraid of offending Tian Feng. If you are the general, wouldn't you know that the military situation is like fire and the general is not responsible for the orders of the outside king! Don't you want to shirk your own faults!"

Hua Xiong and Cao Xing originally thought that all these mistakes could be attributed to Ju Su and Tian Feng, but Lu Bu's words pointed out their weakness. He had to bow down and kneel down and wait for Lu Bu's hair to fall.

Lu Bu was thinking about how to send Ju Su, Tian Feng, Hua Xiong, Cao Xing, and Guo Jia hurried into the conference hall, walked closer to Lu Bu, and whispered: "Lord Zheng Tai was rescued by his disciples!"

"What?!" The news was like a bolt from the blue. Lu Bu was shocked. He knew too well that Zheng Tai's incitement ability. If Zheng Tai had not incited the flames from it, the civil strife in Yecheng would not have happened this time. If Zheng Tai ran to the rebel camp of the 38th Jizhou family, the civil strife in Jizhou would not have been easily calmed down. He hurriedly asked: "Aren't he locked in the Ministry of Justice?! The guards there were closely guarded, why were they succeeded by those disciples?!"

Guo Jia sighed: "Just just now, Bei Yi realized that the strategy we had formulated in advance to lure the enemy into each of them to defeat them was discovered by the rebels of the thirty-eighth family. I guessed that there was a fish that had missed the net in Yecheng and ran to tell the rebels of the aristocratic family. So I went to the prison of the Ministry of Justice to interrogate Yang Biao, Zheng Tai and others to see if I could ask something from them. When Bei Yi asked Zheng Tai in front of him, he found that although Zheng Tai looked very similar, there were no scars on his mouth. The real Zheng Tai was ordered by Tian Yuanhao during the three-party trial. All the teeth in his mouth were broken, and the flesh and blood on his mouth was blurred. It was impossible for him to recover without any scars in more than ten days. Bei Yi ordered someone to interrogate the body, but he bit his tongue and committed suicide."

Lu Bu asked, "Then how do you make sure that Zheng Tai's disciple rescued him?"

Guo Jia said: "I saw that the Ministry of Justice was in strict supervision. If Zheng Tai could escape from here, he must have bribed the guards inside. So he quickly asked someone to take all the guards in the prison and investigate them one by one. Sure enough, two of them were guards who accepted bribes from Zheng Tai's disciples and let Zheng Tai enter the prison to meet Zheng Tai. Zheng Tai's disciples used Li Daitaozun's plan to replace a disguised guest with Zheng Tai, and then secretly sent Zheng Tai away."

Lu Bu frowned, thought about it carefully, and asked again: "How did Zheng Tai's disciple enter the Ministry of Justice Prison? My husband remembers that the gate guards of the Ministry of Justice Prison Prison were transferred by our Central Army, so it is impossible to let some strangers in."

Guo Jia smiled bitterly and said, "My lord, what you are asking is that the Minister of Works Zheng Hun who brought Zheng Tai into the prison of the Ministry of Justice. He said he wanted to go in and visit his brother. The guard at the door knew that Zheng Hun was loyal to his lord and wanted to fulfill Zheng Hun's brotherhood, so he did not stop him. Who knew that Zheng Hun actually went to save his brother from prison."

At this point, Lu Bu could only hope that Zheng Tai had just escaped from prison and did not surrender to the thirty-eight rebels in Jizhou: "Fengxiao, how long will Zheng Tai escape from prison?"

Guo Jia said in a low voice: "Just the night after he was tried and punished by the three officials, Zheng Hun was persuaded by Zheng Tai's disciples and came to the prison to rescue Zheng Tai. It has been twelve days until today."

"Twelve Days?" Lu Bu was suddenly shocked: "Is it because Zheng Tai was instigated by the thirty-eight rebellious families in Jizhou?"

"Bei Zhi had just interrogated Zheng Hun. He said that his brother wrote a letter and vowed not to rebel again. He agreed to personally escort his brother out of the city," Guo Jia sighed, "I still can't see through his brother Zheng Tai's true face. What kind of etiquette and shame can that person say to protect the interests of the aristocratic family?"

Lu Bu can basically conclude that the damn Zheng Tai escaped from Yecheng and went to persuade the thirty-eight families in Jizhou to abandon their past grudges, join forces to capture Julu and Handan.

Lu Bu couldn't help but feel full of hatred and slapped the table suddenly: "Come on, behead Zheng Hun and destroy the Zheng family in Xingyang!"

Lu Bu's order has not been officially issued, and all the civil and military generals such as Guo Jia, Jia Xu, Huang Zhong all bowed down and bowed: "Lord, please take back Cheng's order. Zheng Shangshu is a great talent and cannot be killed!"

Lu Bu shouted angrily: "The 38 rebels in Jizhou family must have joined forces. Zheng Tai's rebels must have been encouraged by the rebels. It was precisely because of the rebels that Julu and Handan were trapped and Li Feng was killed. This was because Zheng Hun ignored the fundamental righteousness of our Central Army for the sake of his brotherhood. In this way, you can protect the common man who suffered heavy blows in our Central Army because of his personal abolishment of the public!"

Huang Zhong bowed and said, "Lord, Zheng Hun made such a mistake. We shouldn't have pleaded for him. But since Zheng Hun took over the Military Department, he has made great contributions to improving the texture of steel weapons and armor, and improving the thunderbolt chariots, crossbows, and chariots. The lord can defeat Dong Zhuo's Western Liang Iron Cavalry. Although it is inseparable from the bloody battles of the frontline soldiers, it is even more inseparable from the strong support of Zheng Hun's Military Department. Now the rebels of the thirty-six families are in a raging momentum and need the strong support of Zheng Hun's Military Department. If the lord beheads him, it will in vain to hurt the relatives and the enemy will be happy!"

Jia Xu also bowed and said, "Lord, if he is a man who completely betrays his brotherly friendship, he will betray his family for fame and fortune today, and will also betray his lord for greater benefits tomorrow. Such talents cannot be used. Zheng Hun takes a risk to save his brother. This person is so affectionate and worthy of his lord's trust. Zheng Hun is loyal and honest, and he did not expect Zheng Tai's cunning. When things come to this point, even though Zheng Hun's fault, Zheng Hun should not bear the disaster of dying the family. Please think twice!"

Lu Bu looked at the generals in front of him coldly, and finally calmed down his anger and said in a deep voice: "Okay, seeing that he has great talent and great achievements, now it is time to use people, I will spare his life for the time being, but his mistakes must be punished, otherwise why can we explain to hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the Central Army, and to the soldiers of Li Feng and others who died!"

Guo Jia bowed and asked, "Lord, how are you going to punish Zheng Hun?!"

Lu Bu pointed to Tian Feng, Ju Su: "Although Zheng Hun's crimes are more serious than them, their crimes are similar. In short, they have to abolish public because of personal gain and have a slight traitor! It seems that they have not forgotten the interests of their own small family, nor have they always cared about the interests of our common Central Army. Since that is the case, then Benhou will punish them from this point.

All the land and property of the Zheng family in Xingyang was confiscated. A hundred acres of land were selected for Zheng Hun around Yecheng, and Zheng Hun's direct family members were resettled. Others from the Zheng family were all converted into self-cultivated farmers. Zheng Hun was demoted from the Minister of Works to the Doctor of the Ministry of Works, and was still appointed as the Minister of Works, with a salary of one year.

All the land property of those involved in the rebellion of the Tian family and the Ju family was collected. In addition, half of the remaining land property of the Tian family and the Ju family were confiscated. Tian Feng was demoted to the Attorney Censor, Ju Su was demoted to the army of the division headquarters, and both of them were fined one year's salary."

After Lu Bu announced the announcement, he thought that he could not let these three people who were originally loyal to him be too disappointed, so he said, "Only the three of them can continue to do their duty in the future, and do not commit the crime of abolishing the public for personal gain and make contributions. This marquis will never be stingy with rewards. The Zheng family in Xingyang is gone, and the Zheng family in Yecheng will also revival. As long as the Julutian family and the Ju family in Guangping can follow this marquis wholeheartedly in the future, this marquis promises that not only will they restore their family business, but they will even make their family business better than the past."
