Chapter 123: Doing tricks in a class?

"Although what Zuo Ci practices is not necessarily an evil method, the method of driving the dead will inevitably have a bit of evil flavor. This is due to the characteristics of this type of magic itself, which is impossible to avoid. And Yun Chang's Qinglong Yanyue Sword contains the power of the Qinglong

, that Qinglong belongs to the Oriental Yi Wood, and can control the thunder...the thunder happens to have the function of destroying evil!"

After going around in such a big circle, Guan Yu still half understands it, but it doesn't matter, as long as he understands what kind of ability his Qinglong Yanyue Sword has. {《》}

But Liu Xuan was thinking about other things.

"Does Zuo Ci think he can deal with me this way? Is there any other way he can't succeed?"

After thinking about it, he didn't have much of a clue, but the situation was so weird that it still made him a little more careful.

At this time, Cao Cao had settled Xu You and came to Liu Xuan again: "Should Your Majesty meet Yuan Shao?"

No matter what, Yuan Shao must meet him. Liu Xuan came here for this purpose.

It's not that he has any special views on Yuan Shao or any friendship with him - friendship is definitely not at all, and the feud is about to be settled, because Liu Xuan has already drafted an edict and is preparing to bring Yuan Shao to his side.

Every member of the family was killed, including all the chickens and dogs, even close relatives.

If Yuan Wei hadn't expressed his loyalty early on, the old man would never have thought of running away. But now the old man has left some blood for the Yuan family, which was Yuan Wei's original idea.

After Yuan Shao's family is killed... I guess Yuan Shu's side will be almost settled.

As soon as he thought of Yuan Shu, Cao Cao asked: "Is there any movement over Yuan Shu?"

"Fengxian has already led troops to deal with that guy. It won't be long before there will be results!" Liu Xuan came out this time from Chang'an, which he had left with Lu Bu. However, Lu Bu took 10,000 forbidden troops and went straight to Nanyang, while he himself

We continued to the northeast, crossed the Yellow River and went straight to Cao Cao's camp.

There was no special contact with Lu Bu along the way, but according to Lu Bu's strength, even if he charged with his troops and horses, Yuan Shu's troops and horses should have been beaten to pieces!

"Yuan Gongli couldn't resist the temptation after all!"

While Cao Cao sighed, he also thought in his mind: "If I were faced with such a situation, would I be able to withstand it?" After thinking about it, he felt that he might also fall into the same trap.

Liu Xuan saw Cao Cao's stunned look at that moment, and just said: "Anyone with a little ambition will definitely not let go of such an opportunity, and Yuan Gongli is ambitious!"

"Besides, if he misses this opportunity, I'm afraid he will never have any major development!"

Yuan Shu's position was very awkward. He was surrounded by Liu Biao to the south, Yuzhou to the east, which is now occupied by the imperial court, and Yanzhou and Sizhou to the north, which were also occupied by the imperial court.

Liu Biao has been operating in Jingzhou for several years and has won the support of the local nobles in Jingzhou. If Yuan Shu goes south to attack Jingzhou, let alone how strong Liu Biao's resistance will be, Sun Ce of Yangzhou will not sit back and watch Jingzhou, the gateway to Jiangdong, be annexed by Yuan Shu.

Of course, Yuan Shu could join forces with Sun Ce to attack Jingzhou, and then divide Jingzhou between the two families, but Yuan Shu was extremely arrogant and looked down on Sun Ce at all, so he never thought about that aspect.

In addition, he was extremely confident in his own strength, and more importantly, the cake Liu Xuan placed in front of him was too tempting - an almost undefended land of four states.

It is estimated that Yuan Shu would never have imagined in his wildest dreams how it could be so difficult to capture a place that seemed to be garrisoned by thousands of soldiers and horses. Even if he sent tens of thousands of troops, he would not be able to do it. However, the imperial court only sent Lu Bu to lead 10,000 soldiers and horses, and then he would

An army of more than 100,000 people was defeated and defeated. How did such an unreasonable thing happen?

Anyway, until Lu Bu's army came to the city, Yuan Shu didn't think about it until he witnessed Lu Bu kill more than a dozen soldiers with a casual halberd, and then jumped three or four feet high from his horse. Even he thought it was extremely difficult.

After the city gate that was breached was torn apart like a piece of tissue paper in front of Lu Bu, he finally understood why he failed.

"How can this be!"

At this moment, he finally understood why the imperial army had so easily put down the Yellow Turban bandits who were good at sorcery. At the same time, why they dared to leave such a big loophole unattended and then run to Hebei to fight Yuan Shao. At the same time, why he himself

The hundreds of thousands of troops could not stop the 10,000 troops led by Lu Bu.

"Heaven will destroy my Yuan family!"

In 196 AD, at the end of the summer of the seventh year of Jian'an, Nanyang was captured by Lu Bu. The entire family of the later general Yuan Shu, the governor of Nanyang, was massacred. When the news came out, the scholars panicked and countless people fled...

At this time, Liu Xuan and Cao Cao gathered in the tent to discuss how to deal with the aftermath.

"Now that the Yuan family in Hebei has been wiped out, what should be done next?"

What Liu Xuan meant was, of course, to kill what should be killed, use what should be used, release what should be released, and then restore people's livelihood, work hard on production, and prepare for further expansion.

"Liaodong..."

Seeing that Liu Xuan didn't mention any intention of continuing to advance north, Cao Cao had no choice but to give it a little mention, and Liu Xuan immediately understood what Cao Cao meant: "Don't worry about Liaodong for the time being. First stabilize the counties in Hebei before talking about anything else!"

According to Liu Xuan, Liaodong is the outpost for the imperial court to march into the Northeast, but this outpost is currently a hot potato - the place is quite remote, the weather is bitterly cold, there are very few people, and the land has not been developed. If it were now

Once it is defeated, it will be extremely troublesome to manage.

Because the Hebei area has been devastated by Yuan Shao in the past few years, and it will take a long time to recover. If Liaodong is added to the list, it will undoubtedly increase the difficulty of governance.

Therefore, Liu Xuan's idea is to govern Hebei first, and then use the geographical advantages of Hebei and Liaodong to develop Liaodong. At that time, it can be either forcibly taking back the rule of Liaodong or taking over peacefully, instead of like now

, relying on the northwest to provide blood transfusions to Hebei.

“The main reason is that the current transportation conditions are too poor!”

In the final analysis, it was this reason that made Liu Xuan temporarily give up the idea of ​​directly taking back Liaodong.

He is even planning to develop quietly for three to five years to raise the court's technical strength to another level. At that time, he will try to create some transportation and transportation tools that can improve the speed and efficiency of transportation.

"If it really doesn't work, we can improve the carriages. Anyway, the current horses are a bit surplus. Using those eliminated war horses for civil purposes is considered waste!"

The topic immediately shifted from military operations to people's livelihood management, and the generals in the tent seemed a little embarrassed. Only Cao Cao and Liu Xuan could exchange a few words - but it was mostly the emperor who was talking, and Cao Cao was listening. He knew that today

The emperor does not like soldiers intervening in government, so there is no need for him to get into trouble.

Perhaps realizing that it was unreliable for him to talk to a group of generals, Liu Xuan decisively stopped.

"That's too far. Let's talk about the current matter first. Although Yuan Shao was captured, Zuo Ci is still missing. According to Yun Chang and Yide's description, Zuo Ci can resurrect the dead for his use. If he doesn't deal with it as soon as possible.

This guy is always a hidden danger!"

Cao Cao nodded: "What your Majesty said is true!"

Being able to use dead people as soldiers, Cao Cao naturally knew how much of a threat this could bring.

The dead do not need to eat or rest, which means that this army does not need logistics. It can continue to fight as long as it has basic weapons and equipment.

Moreover, they are not afraid of life and death when fighting, and they can even ignore ordinary attacks. If they encounter such an army in a chaotic battle, heavy losses are inevitable, and it is not uncommon for the entire army to be annihilated.

At this time, he was extremely lucky that he sent Zhang Fei and Guan Yu to investigate and rescue one after another. Otherwise, this army suddenly rushed in when he was fighting Yuan Shao. Then he might still be able to win the final victory, but heavy losses would almost be inevitable.

.

At this moment, Liu Xuan suddenly remembered something and said to Cao Cao: "By the way, you said Zhang He and Gao Lan are currently in the army?"

"yes!"

"Go and bring these two to me!"

Although Cao Cao was puzzled, he still complied. As for the reason, he didn't ask, but judging from the emperor's frowning and thinking look, he probably didn't want to personally persuade the two of them to surrender.

Not long after, they arrived. They were both wearing ordinary clothes. As soon as they came in, they saw Cao Cao sitting on the side instead of the head. They were surprised and at the same time wondered who the young man in front of them was.

Although Liu Xuan's arrival is not a secret, it is not without great fanfare. Currently, only the generals and a small number of soldiers in the army know about it. There are no officials from the Ministry of Rites accompanying him. Naturally, they will not tell those who want to come in at the door: The emperor is inside.

How do you do it?

Because he didn't have these, he bothered Guan Yu, who was sitting beside him, to say, "This is His Majesty the current emperor. Why don't you hurry up and bow down to see the Emperor?"

Zhang He and Gao Lan were both shocked. They didn't expect that this young man who looked to be in his early twenties was actually the current emperor and had arrived in Hebei without any notice.

He was surprised, but he didn't dare to neglect the etiquette at all. After all, he was the emperor. Even if Yuan Shao went to war with the imperial court, it was in the name of "Qing Jun's side". He only said that the traitors in the imperial court were in power, but did not dare to say what the emperor was like.

After the salute was completed, Liu Xuan did not make it difficult for the two people, but he did not ask them to sit down. He just asked them to stand up, and then kept staring at them without blinking, and even finally got up and walked over to them.

The two people circled around for several times.

This look, to be honest, is extremely easy for people to misunderstand, but after all, Liu Xuan is the emperor, who dares to say anything? But Gao Lan and Zhang He were so frightened that they didn't even dare to move.

Although it was the end of summer, the weather was still hot. After standing in the tent for a while, he didn't dare to wipe the sweat on his forehead until Liu Xuan suddenly stopped and chuckled: "You dare to do this in front of me even if you are a small skill?"

Do whatever you want!"

Then, as if thinking of something, he suddenly turned around and walked out of the tent: "Follow me to see Yuan Shao!"
