At the end of the year, Lu Bu from far north and Zhao Yun from Dawan returned on the same day. It was not that the journey took so long. Even though they were thousands of miles apart, if they ran at their full speed, one month would be enough time to get back.
But both of them can be regarded as high-ranking officials in the border areas, and they cannot just leave. Taking Dawan as an example, they directly face Guishang and other countries. Many things need to be arranged properly, who will be stationed, how to continue to implement the decree, and other issues.
Need to be clearly arranged.
Lu Bu's side is not that complicated, but firstly, it is farther away, and secondly, it can intimidate Xianbei. It all depends on where Lu Bu is. If he leaves, something may happen to him. Therefore, before leaving, Lu Bu went to Xianbei to be friendly.
After some negotiation, they returned with most of the Xianbei people. The task of repairing the northern city along the way divided the Xianbei people. The Xianbei royal family was brought to Xuchang by Lu Bu. The reason why they were able to come back so quickly was because they were not delayed even a day on the road.
"I heard that Zilong is happy with Lin'er, and the letter of congratulations is still on the way, but to recall Zilong in such a hurry is really an emergency." Chu Nan looked at Zhao Yun and said with a smile.
"The prime minister's words are serious and he has shared the country's worries, how can he have any grudges?" Zhao Yun shook his head. At this time, he looked somewhat majestic. He had been sitting in the Western Region for a long time, holding great power, and his power was self-generated.
You can see some of the humility of the past, but most of it has been covered by majesty.
"Zi Yan was so anxious to recall the two of us because of what happened that day?" Lu Bu sat down and looked at Chu Nan and said with a smile.
He is different from Zhao Yun. Every move he makes is as if the heaven and earth are shaking around him. He has a feeling that he is the sky, and his whole body is unconsciously exuding a strong sense of oppression, which makes Chu Nan feel as if he was in the secret realm.
China's feelings towards Chi You were just not as strong as Chi You's.
But now Lu Bu is probably enough to rival Chi You and some of the generals under the Yellow Emperor's command.
"Exactly." Chu Nan nodded and roughly told what happened in Jiangdong during this period and the matter of asking for magic. Zhao Yun had never experienced the Xuanyuan Secret Realm and did not know about the struggle between humans and immortals. At this time, he was considered a powerful force in Chu Nan.
The core members will face the earth again, so they should inform themselves.
"So, now we are going to conquer Jiangdong in the south?" Lu Bu looked at Chu Nan and asked with a frown.
"To attack Jiangdong, it is best to go to Jingzhou first. The southern expedition has indeed been prepared for a long time, but the more important thing is to deal with the changes in the sky that may happen at any time. My father-in-law should be aware of the grievances between our human race and the heaven. Our ancestors have spent a huge price to make this happen.
Heavenly Court is extinct, and now Jiangdong is worshiping Heavenly Court, which can be said to have burned down the thousands of years of efforts of the human race. I am worried that there will be big changes." Chu Nan sighed.
The so-called heaven is here to seek the destiny of heaven and earth.
Before the great chaos in the world, although the fate of the human race was weak, it had been completely separated from the heaven. Although there were people among the people who worshiped gods, they had little to do with the heaven.
But after Jiangdong did something like this, Chu Nan was worried that the Heavenly Court would come to the world again. Now Chu Nan was confident of sweeping the princes, but if the Heavenly Court also came, Chu Nan would be a little unable to do what he wanted.
"That's it!" Lu Bu snorted coldly: "Although Sun Ce died in battle in the past, he was still a figure. Now his brother is sitting in Jiangdong, but he doesn't have the courage of his elder brother. He is just a rat."
"In short, if nothing happens, we will capture Jingzhou and Jiangdong as soon as possible and put an end to the troubled times as soon as possible. If something happens, my father-in-law and Zilong will be indispensable in our army." Chu Nan looked at the two of them and said solemnly.
In the battle of Guangling in Jiangdong, basically all those who could fight fell in that battle. Later in the battle of Xiaoyaojin, a few more died. In terms of top combat power, he was the one who didn't need to worry the least, but now
But it is the one that needs to be worried the most.
"Don't worry Zi Yan, our army will win this battle!" Lu Bu said with a smile.
"How powerful is my father-in-law now? Can I let my son-in-law have a look?" Chu Nan looked at Lu Bu and said with a smile.
"Let's see." Lu Bu knew that Chu Nan had the ability to recognize people, and he also wanted to see what kind of state he was in now.
Chu Nan smiled and his eyes fell on Lu Bu. For a moment of concentration, Lu Bu felt as if he was being spied on by a powerful enemy. He looked at Chu Nan with some surprise. In his memory, although his son-in-law was full of cunning and clever methods, he looked at Chu Nan in surprise.
Although he is not a strong man, why does he feel like he is being spied on by a powerful enemy the moment his son-in-law looks at him?
"Father-in-law, your natal magical power..." Chu Nan just looked at it for a moment, then looked at Lu Bu with some surprise. He remembered that Lu Bu's natal talent was the power of ghosts and gods, and he could use the power of ghosts and gods to enhance his combat power. But now, this talent
He became a ghost-killing god, and the shadows of ghosts and gods that appeared on Lu Bu's body in the past have also disappeared. Even if you look at it with the eyes of true vision, it is difficult to see it.
"You said that!" Lu Bu sighed with emotion: "Zi Yan once said that I was blessed by ghosts and gods, and that ghosts and gods could appear for me during battles. I thought it was my own talent, and what I visualized was also the ghosts and gods.
, but I don’t know why, three years ago, when I broke through the realm, the ghost and god seemed to have consciousness and intended to take my body, so I chopped it off in the sea of consciousness. Then I felt the strength of the formation, and I understood and practiced Qi."
Chu Nan and Zhao Yun looked at Lu Bu in astonishment after hearing this. They had also experienced that stage. When they broke through, the objects they visualized were like living creatures, controlling their own Qi. From then on, the Qi moved through the various meridians, endlessly.
, their strength is also increasing day by day, and visualizing the gods can also help them communicate with heaven and earth, and attract the power of heaven and earth to temper their bodies.
And Lu Bu... directly cut off his own innate magical power!?
I won’t say who is right and who is wrong, but Chu Nan has communicated with everyone and it is basically the same process. How come Lu Bu has mutated?
"Could my father-in-law connect with heaven and earth and use the power of heaven and earth to temper his body?" Chu Nan asked carefully.
"Of course you can." Lu Bu nodded matter-of-factly, and then saw him take a breath, and saw that all the power of the surrounding heaven and earth was sucked into his body, and then it would flow like Qi veins and turn into his own power.
Chu Nan and Zhao Yun looked at each other in silence, and even wondered whether their own cultivation methods were wrong and Lu Bu was right!
"Perhaps the combination of God and body is the only way for us..." Chu Nan sighed after being silent for a long time. Although they have the technique of visualization, they do not have the method of subsequent Qi training. In other words, Qi training is inherently
Hidden in visualization, it’s just that they chose to practice in accordance with the visualization, but Lu Bu focused on absolute control of himself and did not want anything outside his own will to control himself, so he embarked on a path
A completely different path from Chu Nan and others.
As for whether it is right or wrong, no one knows without reference, but one thing is certain, at least Lu Bu is still standing at the pinnacle of human combat power.
Chu Nan and Zhao Yun, who had close contact with Lu Bu, were sure of this.
Kill ghosts and gods: Kill ghosts when you encounter them, slay gods when you encounter them, no one can stop you and nothing can stop you as far as you can see!
Lu Bu's destiny is now no longer ordinary, but an extraordinary destiny. His life span is long, far beyond the ordinary and extraordinary.
Although Chu Nan and others are extraordinary, their destiny is still ordinary. Extraordinary is just their own definition. Lu Bu's destiny has truly exceeded the limit of mortals. Although his lifespan is not endless, but
It's beyond those self-proclaimed extraordinary people.
I thought that my father-in-law was just practicing faster than them, but in fact, he was following a completely different path than them!
Can such a Lu Bu really be shaken even by asking God?
Chu Nan was not sure.
After being stunned for a long time with Zhao Yun, Chu Nan finally came to his senses and smiled at the two of them: "When my father-in-law and Zilong are back, our army's chances of winning are a little better. Don't go back tonight. I'll hold a banquet at my house. Maybe we can
It’s been a long time since we got together.”
When Lu Bu heard this, he nodded and said with some nostalgia: "That's good, I haven't eaten Central Plains cuisine for a long time!"
In the past few years, he first went all the way north. At first, he just wanted to hit Karasuma and Xianbei hard. But after he reached the north of Beihai, he suddenly wondered if there was an end to the land, so he drove Karasuma and Xianbei all the way north, but Karasuma was useless.
, was given away directly, and Lu Bu also went to the far north as he wished, and saw the vastness of the sky and the earth, the majesty of the sea, and his mind was widened. Looking back on the past, he seemed to have some enlightenment, and he successfully broke through to a new realm at that time.
In fact, Lu Bu was the first person in the world to come into contact with the second stage of contemplation. It was just that he was far in the far north at that time, thousands of miles away from the Central Plains. Naturally, the Central Plains didn't know about it until others entered the new stage one after another.
After reaching this state, they speculated that Lu Bu should have reached this state as well.
That night, Chu Nan held a banquet to invite officials to celebrate Lu Bu and Zhao Yun's victory.
Now that the Western Region has been changed to Xizhou, Zhao Yun is now the governor of Xizhou and the general of Pingxi. He is the first general to enter this level after the Four Expeditions. However, his achievements are all achieved by himself, with three thousand soldiers and horses.
Sweeping across the Western Regions, they even reached Guishan City in Dawan, turning Dawan into the current Wan County.
This achievement is unprecedented.
Of course, having such a record is inseparable from the restoration of the power of heaven and earth. It does not mean that Zhao Yun is much stronger than those geniuses in the past, but no matter what, now Lu Bu and Zhao Yun are the ministers of the Han Dynasty who opened up and expanded the territory, and they are enough to leave their names in history.
The presence.
Now that he came back, Chu Nan did not take away Zhao Yun's official position. The purpose of his return was to deal with enemies from outside the world. It was not that Chu Nan took over power, but that he temporarily gave Zhao Yun the position of a tiger and a strong lieutenant general in the court.
As for Lu Bu, he was a general and had no title. In the name of the imperial court, Chu Nan gave Lu Bu a fake title and gave him the title of Yan.
The next days were spent preparing for the Southern Expedition. A large amount of grain and grass were transported to Nanyang and the Jianghuai area. In this battle, Chu Nan's main target was not Jingzhou, but Jiangdong. However, Wei Yan could only be regarded as a partial force and the imperial navy.
The training has not been completed, and no suitable naval generals have been selected. However, under the development of the Ministry of Industry and the reminder of Chu Nan, keel warships capable of breaking through the waves have been built. They are gathered in the Bohai Sea area and can be used along the coast at any time.
Straight into the Yangtze River, but the water formation showed little improvement, making it impossible to start the battle.
Obviously, naval generals cannot be achieved overnight. Now Chu Nan can only place his hope on Jingzhou, hoping to get several suitable naval generals from Jingzhou...
