Spring of the second year of Jian'an, 191 AD.

The imperial court issued an edict, ordering Li Jue and Guo Si to go to Beijing to participate in the reorganization of the Forbidden Army.

As soon as this edict came out, all the heroes in the world looked sideways - no matter what the purpose was, everyone turned their attention to the northwest land that was not very interesting at first.

Li Jue and Guo Bang received the edict at almost the same time. Also arriving at the same time was an urgent military report. There was nothing else in it. It only talked about Xiliang Ma Teng. Han Sui frequently mobilized troops and horses, and began to go with them.

The areas governed by Li Jue (Guo Si) moved closer.

After learning this situation and looking at the imperial edict in their hands, the two looked at each other speechlessly.

"The Emperor cannot tolerate you and me living happily here."

Li Jue glanced at Guo Si, who was sitting across from him. The two of them were currently sitting in a safe place where their territories intersected. They surrounded the area with personal guards and horses, leaving only the two of them discussing in the tent.

Guo Bang drank the wine in front of him in one gulp, and then let out a long breath. However, the haze on his face did not disappear with the sip of wine. Instead, as he drank the sip of wine, his face became even more ugly.

"That little emperor really doesn't know what's good and what's good. If you and I hadn't argued with him about Dong Xiangguo's affairs, he would have been unable to continue his career, and it would be his turn to issue such a bullshit edict to me.

?”

As if scolding Liu Xuan wasn't enough, he scolded Lu Bu again: "That Lu Bu is also a bastard. The prime minister regards him as his own son, but he actually went to the little emperor and helped the little emperor run to Chang'an and take up residence in Chang'an."

city."

If not for Lu Bu's sudden rebellion, Liu Xuan would never have been able to leave the control of the Prime Minister. In that case, he and Li Jue would be free and happy under Dong Zhuo, commanding troops and power, and acting unscrupulously.

He even wanted to enter the palace and grab some maids to sleep with - of course Dong Zhuo had to choose the noble ones first.

Unfortunately, Guo Si didn't know that it was not that Liu Xuan was unable to get rid of Dong Zhuo, but he just wanted to use Dong Zhuo's hand to push forward this era and bring about the chaotic situation of the world's heroes as soon as possible.

As soon as the chaos emerged, Liu Xuan immediately ignored Dong Zhuo, including Guo Si.

Li Jue did not agree with Guo Si's words. The situation at that time was not what he said, but now it has become like this, and Li Jue could not say anything to demoralize his companions - the two were already a team.

Among the grasshoppers on the rope, if one is destroyed, the other will be fine.

When he and Guo Si followed Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo's subsequent actions had already destined them not to become the new emperor's confidants - they were different from Lv Bu. The emperor was in a weak position when Lv Bu took refuge. Waiting to assist the emperor

After seizing the power, Lu Bu also gained a certain status. At that time, even if the emperor wanted to move him, he could not move him. In fact, Liu Xuan never considered this issue, because Lu Bu was too controllable, as long as he met his requirements.

Just fine.

Now that the power of the new emperor has begun to take shape, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are also working hard to govern the area around Chang'an with great vigor, which is quite incompatible with the chaotic world of this faction.

They naturally saw the situation in Chang'an last year. The great harvest scene made the two of them extremely jealous. They even had the idea of ​​"grabbing a vote", but they didn't expect that the two of them had not yet done so.

Action, Liu Xuan took action first.

"What's the best strategy for me?"

After venting, it was all meaningless nonsense. After Guo Si calmed down, he had to ask Li Jue for advice, did he have any good ideas?

As for entering the capital in accordance with the edict, that is absolutely impossible. As long as they enter the capital, they will no longer be in their current status - now the two of them are like emperors in their respective territories.

Can you be so carefree?

"What else can we do? The spear has been placed on our necks. How can we capture them without restraint?" Li Jue was not willing to admit defeat, nor was he willing to risk everything to escape. After enjoying the glory and wealth, who would still want to do so?

Have you been through those hard days?

What's more, the two of them are not without the ability to fight back now. They have tens of thousands of elite soldiers in their hands. Even if Lu Bu really leads his troops to kill them, they are confident that they will have a good fight with each other.

Let the little emperor, who sits high in the court and knows nothing about the world, understand that he, Li Jue, is not a soft persimmon to be pinched.

When Guo Si heard what Li Jue said, his originally a little confused mind gradually calmed down. He smiled and nodded in agreement: "It should have been like this a long time ago. Don't let the young emperor know the strength of you and me.

I’m afraid we won’t have a good life in the future.”

After finishing his big talk, Guo Bang also began to think about how this battle should be fought and to what extent it should be fought. Especially when Ma Teng hit them from behind, it made them very uncomfortable.

"Don't worry about Ma Teng. As long as you send generals to guard the choke points, don't let Ma Teng lead the troops forward. Once the imperial troops are repulsed, the Xiliang soldiers will naturally retreat."

Li Jue was skeptical about whether Ma Teng was sincerely working for the court. Moreover, although the Xiliang army was powerful, Ma Teng was closely connected with the Qiang people and had thousands of Qiang cavalry under his command. However, Ma Teng could also be regarded as a feudal lord with a separate faction.

Are you really willing to give up your family fortune to listen to the young emperor?

Maybe he felt that the court still had prestige, so he came to attack the two of them. If so, he only needed to tear up the last fig leaf of the court and let Ma Teng see the true situation of the court. It is estimated that he would not fight with him again.

Waiting for others to get through.

Who knows, Ma Teng will turn against him and fight into Chang'an with him and others.

After telling Guo Si about his speculation, Guo Si was immediately overjoyed: "At that time, you and I can follow Dong Xiangguo's example, take control of the court, and give orders to all the heroes in the world. If anyone does not obey, we will raise an army to attack him."

Li Jue also thought of this, and immediately nodded: "This is how a man should be when he is alive!" After saying that, he raised his wine bowl to drink with Guo Bang. After drinking all the wine from the jar, they each returned with their personal guards and adjusted the situation.

The soldiers were dispatched to prepare for a battle with the imperial court. As for the imperial edict, they were thrown into the corner and were no longer prepared to pay attention to it.

At this time, on the court's side, although Li Jue and Guo Si had not made it clear whether they were willing to obey the court's arrangements, in fact the imperial army was ready to go, and they were waiting for Liu Xuan's order to set off immediately.

During this expedition, Liu Xuan did not mobilize Cao Cao back, allowing Cao Cao to stay in the north to reorganize the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, and at the same time guard the Yellow River crossing to prevent the heroes from Guandong from entering the northwest from the Yellow River.

This kind of worry is not unnecessary. You must know that Ma Chao later sent troops to Chang'an and occupied the important area of ​​​​Tongguan. Cao Cao crossed the river and entered the northwest area to fight with Ma Chao and finally regained the land in Guanzhong.

Therefore, this is also an important place. Only Cao Cao and the thousands of new soldiers who are being reorganized are left. Cao Cao's personal ability is already extremely high. If he did not trust Cao Cao's talents, Liu Xuan would have sent a forbidden army to garrison.

But even so, Cao Cao sent the brothers Xiahou Dun and Xia Houyuan back to the court, allowing Liu Xuan to dispatch them.

Cao Cao knew that there were not many talents available to Liu Xuan, especially the number of generals who could lead the charge. With the brothers Xia Houyuan and Xiahou Dun, Liu Xuan could free up his hands and feet.

Naturally, he didn't know that Liu Xuan now not only has Lu Bu and his generals, but also has three new brothers, Liu Guan and Zhang. Since Liu Bei was granted the title of Protector of the Central Army, those two brothers have also been incorporated into the Forbidden Army, but they are not

They were directly under the Central Guards Army's tent, but were actually integrated into the army's military establishment. Now both of them were tooth generals, each in charge of a thousand soldiers and horses, and they were truly powerful officers.

This is also thanks to the fact that Liu Bei is a clan member of the Han Dynasty and Guan Yu once beheaded Hua Xiong at Hulao Pass. Otherwise, given their original identities, they would never be able to take the position of tooth general.

With these two brothers, Liu Xuan still has to worry that he has no generals to use. Besides, Lu Bu likes to lead the army personally. If he encounters a general calling for battle, Lu Bu will probably be the happiest. I guess once Lu Bu takes action, he will come.

One kills one, two kills a pair, and the rest of the generals can just do their own thing, so why bother?

More importantly, Lu Bu was summoned to the palace by Liu Xuan, and then he was taught a set of tricks. After learning this set of tricks, Lu Bu felt that he could master it as soon as he learned it, but it had no effect. He felt strange and couldn't help but feel...

I asked a few questions: "Why is there no change after learning?"

Liu Xuan didn't care, because he knew that this was just a normal situation: "The magical thing about this set of techniques is that as long as you have the basics, you can learn it immediately, but after you learn it, can you use it?

No one can tell what the move is."

Lu Bu looked very surprised when he heard this: "Why is this?"

Liu Xuan then explained the technique and explained it in connection with the techniques Lu Bu had practiced before: "The techniques that Fengxian practiced before have helped Fengxian breed a group of energy in his body, which means that he really

Once you pass this threshold, you will continue to make the air mass grow stronger."

"And the set of techniques I'm teaching you today is about how to use one's own energy. However, this technique is quite unique and requires practitioners to understand it on their own. Maybe you will suddenly realize it one day and naturally

You will know the method of luck that is most suitable for you."

To put it bluntly, this method will select the appropriate one from the many recorded moves for the practitioner to use based on the practitioner's different situations, different ideas and different characteristics, and the specific scope...is in Liu Xuan's hands.

Skills are naturally mostly derived from some game skills that have been played in the past.

After listening to the explanation, Lu Bu finally understood what it meant. To put it bluntly, even if you learn it, you can't use it. It still requires a process similar to comprehension. But fortunately, Liu Xuan told him: Even if you don't take the initiative to comprehend, it will naturally take a while.

You will find the techniques that suit you.

Moreover, as his cultivation becomes more and more advanced, he will learn more powerful tricks.

In order to let Lu Bu understand these moves more intuitively, Liu Xuan used Chi Xiao's dragon energy to cast a Half-Moon Slash, but to Liu Xuan's surprise, just after he had finished casting, Lu Bu immediately waved his halberd and started dancing.

The pale yellow moonlight then flicked the halberd, and a half-moon force of energy came out.

Lu Bu: "Is this so?"

Liu Xuan: "..."
