Chapter 36
The small piece of jade had no white left in it, and was as dark as the night sky without any stars.
Wang Yun and Lu Bu have seen many things in their lives, but today's experience still made them feel as unreal as if they were in a dream.
Turning his head and looking at Liu Bian, King Hongnong was stroking his chest and coughing non-stop. Cao Bao beside him was helping him calm down, while getting some water, melons and fruits for him to rinse his mouth.
"What's so special about that jade?"
Wang Yun could still resist the curiosity in his heart and not stretch out his hand, but Lu Bu didn't have such good patience and determination. His curiosity became more and more intense, and he stretched out his hand to pick up the jade piece and look at it.
But unexpectedly, just as he was about to move, the jade piece suddenly bounced off the ground, and then flew into Liu Xuan's hand.
This move surprised everyone even more. If putting a piece of jade in King Hongnong's mouth could revive a deeply poisoned person, it would be miraculous, but this move of taking something from the air was even more difficult for them to understand.
Wang Yun was still thinking about what was going on, when Lu Bu, who had experience fighting against the Yellow Turban Army, suddenly said: "Taoist mystical art?"
Liu Xuan held the dark jade piece in his palm and did not reach out to touch it directly. The jade piece contained huge poison. Liu Xuan did not dare to stab it in his hand at this time, so the jade piece was in his hand.
The void is floating in the palm of your hand, gently fluttering up and down, just like a magical plaything.
But this appearance surprised Wang Yun and Lu Bu even more. Although Lu Bu saw that this was mystical art, he always had reservations about the so-called mystical art. Although he saw a lot of Yellow Turban Army, he only heard about the Yellow Turban Thief Army.
Some of them are good at witchcraft, but they have never really encountered it.
Wang Yun's family is considered to be a wealthy family. He has heard of these mysterious things, but he has never seen them with his own eyes. Liu Xuan's way of taking things out of the air just now shocked him, but what kind of flowers could he use?
It can be explained by clever means, but what should we say about the current situation?
"Have you seen Marquis Wen?"
Liu Xuan turned his head and found that Lu Bu was even more afraid. That kind of vision is only shown by people who are in danger. It seems that he is quite afraid of his own skills. It is more likely that he is afraid of whether he knows something.
'Magic spells' that can directly hurt people.
It's a pity that Liu Xuan is currently busy hatching dragon eggs, and it is difficult to use his dragon energy. Even with this hand just now, he did not use his own skills, but used the true energy contained in this jade piece to connect with his own skills.
, can do such a small trick, but if you want to use any tyrannical moves, it is impossible.
He held it in his hand for a moment, and after the color on the jade piece faded slightly and the strange fragrance no longer emitted, Liu Xuan conveniently put the jade piece away. No one could see what trick he had used, and the jade piece was
Just disappear.
In fact, Liu Xuan took it into his soul, but now his soul is still very weak and can only store small items. Large things cannot be put in, and they must be magic weapons tempered by himself.
After looking at King Hongnong, he found that although all the toxins in Liu Bian's body had been eliminated, he was not conscious and was still confused. He winked at Cao Bao. The eunuch who had been with him for many years understood and helped King Hongnong.
Go down and rest.
After he left, the first few people were left in the room again, except for Xun Yu standing by. At the same time, Cao Cao's arrival added a trace of blood to the side hall, which made Lu Bu feel a little uneasy.
"Has Marquis Wen thought about it?"
No one expected that as soon as Liu Bian left, Liu Xuan would directly ask Lu Bu for his answer, but there was nothing wrong in Liu Xuan's heart. After all, he had already finished speaking and the benefits were placed in front of Lu Bu. Next, it was Lu Bu's turn to look at Lu Bu.
How to choose? If Lu Bu chooses his side, then naturally there is nothing to say. Let's discuss how to deal with Dong Zhuo.
If you choose not to agree...
Liu Xuan's eyes narrowed slightly. Although his hands made no special movements, his fists were clenched and he was ready to take action at any time.
Over there, Cao Cao was in a hurry and had not taken off his armor. He was holding his sword and was ready to take action at any time. Cao Cao's intelligence naturally understood that if Lu Bu did not agree today, he would never let him go.
Not to mention the huge consequences, even going back and informing Dong Zhuo was not acceptable to them. Although Liu Xuan had decided to fall out with Dong Zhuo, the sooner Dong Zhuo knew about this matter, the better - there was still an excuse to kill the lieutenant.
What should we say about killing Lu Bu? Why not say that Lu Bu was sent elsewhere?
Just as he was thinking about it, he saw Lu Bu stood up with a calm face, and then said: "I am a Han official, so how can I do anything rebellious? I can only do it according to your Majesty's orders."
These words basically meant that Lu Bu had defected to his side. Although I don't know which side moved Lu Bu in the end, since he succeeded, it was a good thing.
He knew that it was definitely not Lu Bu who was afraid. Lu Bu was now in his prime and had been fighting in wars since he was young. It was impossible for him and Cao Cao to be afraid of him now - even if he showed tyranny.
Lu Bu will not be afraid of any force.
So he couldn't have been forced to agree by force, then it was the benefits he proposed that moved him.
In fact, it was almost the same. Lu Bu was quite hesitant at first, thinking that it didn't matter that he could give what Liu Xuan said Dong Zhuo could give.
After all, although Dong Zhuo's reputation is getting worse and worse, he is still the powerful Dong Xiangguo. Whatever Lu Bu wants, Dong Zhuo can reward him, which may be much more satisfying than the emperor.
But if you think about it carefully, it is not the case. Dong Zhuo is so domineering. Although he has only been under Dong Zhuo for a short time, he also knows that not only the princes of the Manchu Dynasty are dissatisfied with him, but even the soldiers under Dong Zhuo's account are not so satisfied.
Especially after staying in the capital for a long time, some soldiers began to miss their families. However, Dong Zhuo's power relied on these soldiers to maintain his power. Naturally, he could not be allowed to go back. At the same time, Dong Zhuo was very happy to reward himself, and some generals who had followed Dong Zhuo for a long time also rewarded them.
On the contrary, it is very ordinary.
For example, Hua Xiong has followed Dong Zhuo since he started his career in Xiliang. A few days ago, he helped Dong Zhuo stop the emperor and gave him an excuse to lead troops to the capital. However, he was severely wounded by Liu Xuan, which made Dong Zhuo pay no attention to Hua Xiong these days.
He didn't take it seriously - otherwise Hua Xiong wouldn't have had to ask for a fight against the Guandong princes.
Now that the emperor has to deal with Dong Zhuo again, is it really good for him if he continues to be with Dong Zhuo?
Although Lu Bu was confused about some things, he knew that in this world, if you don't have a good reputation, you can't survive at all. It is basically impossible to have a good reputation with Dong Zhuo. If Dong Zhuo can continue to be tyrannical for a long time,
That's fine, but now Lu Bu sees the crisis.
"In this case, why not just abandon Dong Zhuo and leave?"
Especially after seeing Liu Xuan's mysterious methods, Lu Bu felt more and more that Dong Zhuo had no chance of winning. If Dong Zhuo wanted to be disadvantageous to the emperor, he could only rely on some underhanded methods, such as poisoned wine and the like, but Liu Xuan was obviously not afraid.
These.
If Dong Zhuo wanted to use swordsmanship, he would be annihilating himself from the world, and the princes of the world would immediately rise up to attack him. At that time, it would not be as simple as the princes of Guandong, and Dong Zhuo's backyard might be on fire.
Of course, these people were not killing the rebels for any reason. The real reason was to gain fame. At the same time, Dong Zhuo's power attached to the imperial court would immediately collapse. What advantage would Dong Zhuo have at that time?
After much deliberation, Dong Zhuo seemed to have no chance of winning. Lu Bu might not be good at strategy, but that didn't mean he couldn't understand these simple things, so he immediately transferred to the emperor's command. At this time, he couldn't be said to be loyal. If he wanted to truly conquer
Lu Bu and Liu Xuan still have a lot of things to do.
What's more, serving the emperor is justifiable. After all, he is a Han minister in name, and he is also the highest officer of the emperor's personal guard.
Liu Xuan felt relieved when he saw Lu Bu's surrender. He was not pleased with Lu Bu's courage, but liked Dong Zhuo's arm. At the same time, the matter was not leaked, and he could plan more calmly.
"I am deeply comforted by your understanding of the great righteousness."
He spoke a few words of comfort, and then promised a few benefits, which was nothing more than an edict to confirm the title of Marquis of Wen, Lu Bu. In the Han Dynasty, the title of Marquis was divided into County Marquis, Township Marquis, and Ting Marquis. Wen Marquis was
County Marquis is considered to be the highest level of Lieutenant Marquis.
Although the actual increase in benefits was limited, with the name of Marquis Wen, he could be regarded as a figure on par with the three fairies in the court. With the fact that he had troops and horses in his hands, what else could Lu Bu have to be dissatisfied with? He immediately bowed and thanked him.
Only then did Liu Xuan turn to Wang Yun and said: "I'm afraid Situ doesn't know my plan yet. Meng De has been busy reorganizing the Yulin Army these days, so I'm afraid he doesn't know about it. We just have a detailed discussion today."
The words said it was a discussion, but everyone knew that the emperor had already made a plan, and he just called them here to tell them what to do next.
Cao Cao was fine. He guessed that Liu Xuan was going to change his plan, but it was just a matter of taking action in advance, and the changes would not be too big. Wang Yun, on the other hand, looked curious, not knowing what the young emperor was going to do.
"Your Majesty wants to kill Dong Zhuo?"
When Liu Xuan heard Wang Yun's question, he suddenly laughed and said: "Dong Zhuo? Why do you want to kill him? Dong Xiangguo is loyal to the country and personally led the troops to garrison Hulao, preventing the Kwantung bandits from advancing. He is a great hero. He will go to court tomorrow.
When the time comes, you still need to give a good reward."
Wang Yun was stunned and then understood what Liu Xuan meant, which was to send Dong Zhuo out to Luoyang, and he was immediately overjoyed - Dong Zhuo led his troops to leave the capital, and when the time came, he would close the gate of Luoyang and watch him die with the heroes of Guandong.
Damn, Dong Zhuo will definitely be defeated by the heroes of Guandong without food and grass to succeed him.
That was not what Cao Cao was thinking. He had already seen that the heroes of Guandong were just a bunch of rabble and could hardly achieve great things. Could it be that Liu Xuan did this because he wanted to move the capital in advance while Dong Zhuo was away?
After looking at Liu Xuan, he saw that Liu Xuan nodded slightly to him, but did not say anything clearly. Cao Cao knew that it was not time to say it. At least Wang Yun was not a trustworthy enough person. I guess the emperor wanted to wait for Dong Zhuo.
After leaving Beijing, we moved the capital.
Sure enough, after briefly discussing what to do in the morning meeting tomorrow, Liu Xuan left Lu Bu and Cao Cao behind: "The matter of moving the capital is of great importance, and arrangements must be made early!"
