Chapter 18 Private visit on Weibo?

Cao Cao dared to gather the power of thunder at the last moment to use the five-thunder strike. He was not afraid that if he failed, he might let Zuo Ci escape. This was because he made such a big noise and the generals who were not far away could not miss it.

So in almost the shortest time, soldiers, horses and several generals had surrounded this area.

In this case, even if Zuo Ci had the means, he would not be able to escape easily. As long as his generals blocked Cao Cao for a moment, he could entangle the opponent again.

In addition, Cao Cao didn't have to play a one-on-one duel with others. He withdrew the Kuanglei Tianlao. After one attack, even if Zuo Ci still had the power to counterattack, he could just let the generals go up and swarm him.

Beaten to death.

In short, no matter what happens, Zuo Ci can't escape death. Now the result of being stabbed by Cao Cao may be relatively good. If he really gets into a siege, it won't be something that can be solved so easily. He will inevitably have to suffer again.

Many sins.

As for the piece of jade that Cao Cao put on Zuo Ci's forehead in the end, it was something Liu Xuan specially ordered to make. Basically, all of his close associates had some preparations for it.

No one knows what this thing does. They just know that if you really kill an immortal monk, and you are not sure whether the other person is really dead, you can put this thing on your forehead, then you can guarantee that nothing will happen.

What an accident.

In fact, this is a trapped spirit talisman. Liu Xuan did not explain it because with the strength of these people under the tent, they have not yet touched the level of souls and spiritual thoughts.

You'll understand it naturally, so you don't have to put in the effort.

Although Cao Cao's cultivation level has improved now, there are too many things that have troubled him recently, and he has no time to calm down and understand those magic formulas, so he doesn't quite know what this thing does, and just follows Liu Xuan's teachings.

Just do it.

Then he respectfully held the Yitian Sword and returned to the military camp, put it back into the scabbard, and watched as the Yitian Sword trembled twice and then all its brilliance disappeared. Cao Cao then turned around and explained the situation to the generals.

Many of the generals who came with the army this time were Cao Cao's brothers, such as Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan. They were also nearby and were shocked when they heard this.

"The Governor is saying that this old thief is Zuo Ci who has repeatedly opposed His Majesty?"

"Well, that's right!" He had been excited for a while but didn't feel anything, but when he relaxed now, he only felt tired. But he hadn't felt this way for many years.

Since I started practicing, I have always been very energetic. Even if I stayed up late to deal with government affairs the next day, it would not have any impact. But now I feel just like I did after staying up late before I started practicing. I feel weak all over and I don’t even have the confidence to speak.

Everyone naturally noticed this, and Cao Ren even frowned: "The governor is injured?"

"No, it's just that I have never encountered such a strong enemy, and I felt a little weak for a while!"

Cao Cao was startled at first and hurriedly checked his condition. After checking, he realized that it was due to excessive consumption of skill. In addition, although the power of Yitian Sword was powerful, it also put a heavy burden on his body.

I guess I won't be able to regain my strength this time if I don't cultivate myself for a while.

Thinking of this, he felt that it should be like this. The power of the Yitian Sword was beyond his expectation. He didn't expect that Zuo Ci, who was slightly stronger than him, would not even be able to fight back after encountering the Yitian Sword. The power of the Yitian Sword was beyond his expectation.

Is it too big? And I am obviously not strong enough to control this sword, so it is reasonable that there will be side effects.

Cao Cao didn't know that the power of Yitian Sword was so powerful because Liu Xuan's strength had steadily improved in recent years and the Han Dynasty was now prosperous and had strong dragon energy.

In addition, this time he led his army and horses to expand the territory, and the transformation of the dragon energy of the Han Dynasty also affected the Yitian Sword, so it exploded with such strong power. At the same time, it was also somewhat related to Zuo Ci, because he had been captured by the Han Dynasty.

Zuo Ci was listed as the number one enemy. In some mysterious words, the entire Han Dynasty and the dragon spirit that symbolized the Han Dynasty were displeased with Zuo Ci, and they would risk their lives if they caught him.

It can be said that the last battle was not the decisive battle between Cao Cao and Zuo Ci, but the entire Han Dynasty launched a fatal blow against Zuo Ci.

When the generals heard what Cao Cao said, they felt relieved. Cao Hong even said: "This time the Governor killed Zuo Ci and made a great contribution. Your Majesty will probably reward him again after he returns!"

After a pause, he continued: "During the last southern expedition, the governor had the merit of recommending good generals, but he was not promoted because of the opposition of the princes in the court. After returning this time, there must be some compensation, right?"

The people present here are all from the same clan as Cao Cao, so they spoke without hesitation. They all nodded in agreement when they heard what was said. Xiahou Dun even said: "After the governor returns this time, he may be able to surpass Lu Bu!"

Cao Cao shook his head: "Don't be too proud!"

He could see clearly that even if he made great achievements, he would not surpass Lu Bu for the time being. Not only did the emperor understand this so-called art of controlling his subordinates, but these ministers also understood it in their hearts.

If the emperor directly appoints a high-ranking official when he goes back this time, he will not be happy! If he is promoted to such a high position, then the emperor will not easily send him to take action if anything happens in the future.

Because if he performs meritorious service again, he will have no titles or rewards when he comes back. Should he give up his throne as emperor?

Therefore, if the emperor wants to use this person, he will not let him rise to the top in one step, but will promote him step by step. Each time there will be a reward, but each time it will be within a certain range and will not be too exaggerated.

Just like what he is now, although he is only the general who conquers the east, he is in charge of the real battle. Although Lu Bu has been awarded the title of general of guard, and his position is higher than that of the three princes, because his official position is too high, neither the emperor nor the court dare to send him into battle easily.

Lu Bu himself understands now, so he doesn't bother going out to fight now. Instead, he sends his daughter out when he has the opportunity, probably to train his daughter named Lu Lingqi.

This time, Lu Bu also sent Lu Lingqi to Cao Cao's tent. She had made a lot of achievements in the previous battles. Even if she could not be made a general after returning, she could still be promoted to some elite troops as a captain.

You know, there are still vacant positions in the Yulin Army and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry!

Let's not talk about these for now. I calmed everyone down and asked them to continue as they should. Now that Zuo Ci is dead, there are no variables in the overall situation.

The establishment of Northern Yan, Northern Zhou, and Northern Zhao has also been put on schedule. All he needs to do is continue step by step. He only needs to continue to encircle and suppress the remnants of some tribes, especially those who hide in the deep mountains and old forests and come out to harass him from time to time.

And just wait for the Goguryeo Dynasty to take its last breath.

"By the way, I would like to report to Your Majesty that Zuo Ci is dead!"

Surprisingly, as soon as he contacted Liu Xuan, he said: "I already know that Meng De has done a good job. As for your current weakness, it is not all bad. Meng De will take advantage of this period to put aside trivial matters first."

Go aside and concentrate on practicing for a period of time. I believe you will gain a lot after your energy recovers!"

Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that he had used the Yitian Sword. It was not unusual for the Emperor of Heaven to know this.

It was the words he told him later that made Cao Cao stunned for a while, but after thinking about it, he immediately understood what the emperor meant.

Although I have been practicing diligently over the years, because I have been involved in many things and have made rapid progress during practice, my cultivation is not very stable. The emperor is reminding myself to take this opportunity to stabilize my cultivation. In this way

After recovery, it will be of great benefit to your own cultivation.

"Maybe I will take this opportunity to make a breakthrough, but that's not necessarily the case!"

After understanding the emperor's intention, Cao Cao naturally complied. In the following days, Cao Cao told everyone not to disturb him unless there was no big deal. In addition, it happened to be winter, and the weather in the Northeast became more and more severe, and wars everywhere had stopped. What to do

Instead, they were about trivial matters that required the army to survive the winter safely and prevent those who couldn't survive the winter from running out to cause trouble.

As for military operations? This snowy environment is not suitable for any military operations. Now that Zuo Ci is no longer a variable, it can be said that Liaozhou, which originally attracted the attention of the world, finally got a period of peace.

Liu Xuan, on the other hand, was living a comfortable life on Dongying Island. Unexpectedly, he suddenly felt something in his heart on this day. The man's dragon energy fluctuated for a while, and he immediately found a quiet room to carefully check what happened.

If there were just fluctuations in dragon energy, it would be hard to tell what happened for a moment, but it was different when Cao Cao used the Heavenly Sword.

The Yitian Sword was originally tempered by Liu Xuan and given to Cao Cao. Needless to say, there are many meanings in it. In short, Liu Xuan and the Yitian Sword are closely connected. Now that Yitian moved, Liu Xuan immediately knew what was going on.

In addition, his cultivation has improved a lot now. Although he has not yet reached the level where he can know everything in the world with his spiritual thoughts, it is not difficult to know things in certain places through the Heavenly Sword and Dragon Qi as the medium.

So he could clearly see the whole process of Cao Cao killing Zuo Ci, even the last moment when Cao Cao put the trapping spirit talisman on Zuo Ci's forehead.

"It seems that Zuo Ci has no means of leaving his body to save his life or of his soul escaping!"

But there is no guarantee that cutting off the head can really kill Zuo Ci, so the trapped spirit talisman is still necessary. As for whether it really killed Zuo Ci, you still need to wait and see for yourself before you know.

No matter what, the old ghost fell into his hands anyway, and with the trapping talisman, even if Zuo Ci was not dead, he couldn't make waves now and could only wait quietly to deal with him.

However, judging from the current situation, it is more likely that Zuo Ci is really dead. Liu Xuan wanted to check it in person out of caution.

I contacted Cao Cao and asked him to take a good rest and take this opportunity to consolidate his cultivation.

After all, he is different from Lu Bu. Lu Bu can consolidate his cultivation through every fight, but Cao Cao is more of a commander-in-chief of the central army.

Skill is a thing that will inevitably become rusty if you use it less. Even if your cultivation continues to increase, it does not mean that your strength is also increasing. If this is the case for a long time, Cao Cao's cultivation will probably fall into a bottleneck. Instead of trying to find a way at that time, it is better to

Take advantage of this moment to eliminate hidden dangers.

In addition, Cao Cao has made great achievements this time, so there is no reason not to reward him!

After leaving the quiet room, the first sight was Diao Chan's slightly worried eyes and Huang Yueying's evasive eyes.

"Huh? Are you worried about me?"

"Who...who is worried about you!" Huang Yueying curled her lips, and the words and the expression on her face seemed to want to show that it was not the case, but her tone was not firm enough, causing Liu Xuan to laugh: "I didn't see it.

You are quite arrogant!"

"You are the arrogant one!"

While they were fighting and fussing, the two women also saw that Liu Xuan was okay, but they were curious about what happened that made Liu Xuan suddenly run into the quiet room and sit there for a long time.

"It's nothing. That guy Zuo Ci was eliminated by Cao Cao. It's a happy event!"

"Huh? Zuo Ci is dead? What happened?"

Liu Xuan's women all knew about Zuo Ci's matter, and they had no good impressions of this Taoist priest who always tried every means to go against the emperor.

Although Huang Yueying was different from the other girls, she was now in the same group as Liu Xuan, so she didn't have a good impression of her. Later, she only had full contempt for this hiding guy.

I originally thought that this coward would never dare to show up again, but I didn't expect to suddenly hear the news that he was killed.

"How dare he show up?" After thinking about it, he asked strangely: "Didn't you say that such a life-loving immortal would be impossible to fight against others? How could he be killed?"

Liu Xuan had already asked Cao Cao about the detailed process, and Cao Cao did not hide anything. Even Zuo Ci's initial remarks that tempted him to rebel were told in detail.

Liu Xuan didn't comment on this, he just said that he knew it...Cao Cao saw that the emperor didn't talk about it, so he naturally didn't ask more questions, so the emperor and his ministers acted as if it didn't happen and no one said anything.

In fact, Liu Xuan felt that it was not good to talk like this. If he really had a grudge, he might as well wait until he got back and talk to Cao Cao face to face!

As for taking away Cao Cao's dragon energy, he didn't think there was anything wrong with it!

Again, although he made Cao Cao lose something, he gave him just as much, or even more! He didn't feel he owed Cao Cao anything, and if Cao Cao couldn't figure it out, he didn't mind giving him a ride.

So far, Cao Cao's performance makes him very satisfied. After all, Cao Cao is a smart man and cannot do such stupid things.
To be continued...
