As long as the northwest counties are pacified, due to the expansion of the area directly controlled by the emperor and the imperial court, this situation will also make the dragon energy become more powerful, and the dragon energy between heaven and earth will become rich and show an upward trend. The speed of Liu Xuan's cultivation will

The faster it is, so although some dragon energy was lost this time, and a few cracks appeared in the dragon eggs bred in his body, the loss was not that big.

"On the contrary, if Lu Bu is defeated because of this, the loss will be huge!"

Liu Xuan is not wrong to think so. If Nanhua succeeds this time, there will be another time. Liu Xuan is not his own nanny. He can't protect his subordinates in turn, right?

In that case, as long as Nan Hua stares at his men, he can block his own power in Chang'an City. After the world situation is completely corrupted, it will be completely impossible for Liu Xuan to restore the Han Dynasty - in that case

What we have done in the past few years is equivalent to wasted effort, and no one would be willing to change it.

Therefore, he simply did nothing and used his strength to force Nan Hua back and let him understand that his subordinates were not targets for him to use his brains to solve this problem once and for all.

In this way, if Nanhua wants to achieve any goal, he can only fight head-on with himself: each will pull up its own power, and then compete for the world.

This kind of situation is what Liu Xuan hopes to see the most, especially since the troops Nan Hua can pull up are the remnants of the Yellow Turbans. This group of Yellow Turban thieves cannot distinguish themselves and cause harm everywhere.

And because most of the Yellow Turban thieves came from bad backgrounds, they all harbored deep hostility towards wealthy households, and those wealthy families were naturally among them.

"I just don't know where Nan Hua will start an uprising this time."

He most hoped that Nanhua would raise troops in Kwantung, so that the Kwantung Allied Forces could have more things to do. It was better than just staring at the court's movements and wondering how to deal with him.

Putting away the emperor's official seal, Liu Xuan let out a sigh of relief: "Thankfully, I specially gave Lu Bu the title of General of the Western Conquest before setting off." If this title had not been used to use this jade seal, Liu Xuan would not have been able to establish contact with Lu Bu.

Even if he knew that Nan Hua was attacking Lu Bu, he still couldn't respond in time.

He stood up and walked out of the tent in a few steps. He saw soldiers in the camp patrolling back and forth, and the surrounding tent was like an iron barrel. Zhang Liao stood outside the tent door and heard a voice behind him, knowing that it was Liu Xuan who had come out.

"His Majesty."

"Um!"

Liu Xuan pointed at the guards: "Except for the guards who are on regular duty, everyone should go down and rest."

Zhang Liao nodded in agreement, and then went to make arrangements. Just as he was about to lift his feet, he heard Liu Xuan say: "Ask Xun Yu and Guo Jia to come over and see me."

Of course, there is no need to say more about the specific situation. Zhang Liao would send someone to invite the two men. Soon they came to Liu Xuan's tent and saw the emperor sitting there. He motioned to the two of them to sit down and talk.

The two of them had just sat down, and before they could ask what was going on, Liu Xuan told the story directly: "Lü Bu was attacked by someone. Fengxiao, you can catch up with me on your horse later to see what's going on with Lu Bu."

, do you need to stop and prepare for a period of time?"

As soon as these words came out, both of them were shocked. Their first reaction was that Guo Si and Li Jue arranged for troops to ambush Lu Bu's Tiger Army. However, something was wrong when they thought about it: "Why didn't they see the military report?"

Liu Xuan waved his hand: "It's not Li Jue and Guo Si's troops, but a practitioner named Nan Hua who made a sneak attack on the way to kill Lu Bu."

Xun Yu and Guo Jia didn't know who Nan Hua was. Liu Xuan didn't tell anyone about him after he was assassinated by Nan Hua last time. At that time, Zhang Liao only had a vague idea, but he didn't know who he was.

.

Seeing the confused expressions on their faces, Liu Xuan first explained Nan Hua's identity: "This Nan Hua calls himself Old Immortal Nan Hua. He originally practiced Taoism in the mountains, but later he accepted a disciple named Zhang Jiao..."

As soon as these words came out, Xun Yu and Guo Jia immediately realized: "It turns out he is the leader of the Yellow Turban Thief."

I remember that the Yellow Turbans brought great harm to the world and caused great harm to the Han Dynasty. Especially Yingchuan, the hometown of these two people, was one of the areas where the Yellow Turbans caused the most harm, so I felt extremely disgusted with the Yellow Turbans.

Sheng, since Nan Hua is the master of the Yellow Turban thief Zhang Jiao, and he came to attack the imperial general, he is obviously a rebel.

In this case, could there be Yellow Turban Army around here?

Liu Xuan added: "The old Nanhua immortal is good at mystical arts. I fought with him once. Although I broke one of his puppet clones and destroyed one of his magic weapons, I didn't hurt him at all. This time, I didn't hurt him at all."

In the sneak attack on Lu Bu, if I hadn't helped Fengxian with my magic weapon and magic, maybe Fengxian would have died at the hands of this thief."

After saying this, Guo Jia and Xun Yu understood the importance of the matter - it turned out that Nan Hua was not leading the Yellow Turban bandits to attack Lu Bu, but was going to kill Lu Bu alone, relying on his powerful mystical skills, and he almost did it.

Got it.

How tyrannical is Lu Bu's force? Moreover, during this period, Liu Xuan gave away the magic formula. His strength has long been beyond the reach of anyone, and he can't even defeat Nan Hua?

Xun Yu secretly sighed in his heart: "The original speculation turned out to be true!" At the same time, he also began to think that if the Yellow Turbans were to rise again, and there were masters like Nan Hua, I'm afraid it would not be as simple as it was before.

At the same time, Nanhua attacked Lu Bu. Can the Western Expedition continue? Was Lu Bu injured? What were the losses of the vanguard army? These are not clear. It seems that the emperor asked Guo Jia to catch up with the vanguard army quickly to check these things.

.

Guo Jia remained silent. After listening to this for a while, he already understood the whole story, and at the same time, he also understood his mission. He held up his hands and said, "I will definitely live up to your Majesty's trust."

Liu Xuan nodded, but then said: "If Fengxian insists on moving forward, Fengxiao will stay in the vanguard army and temporarily serve as a staff officer with the army." He actually didn't know that Lu Bu would send Guo Jia to Lu Bu.

He won't listen. But with Guo Jia by his side, he will definitely not let Lu Bu fall into the opponent's plan and lose the battle.

More importantly, Guo Jia also practiced the techniques taught by him, and the tricks Guo Jia understood were quite strange. If Lu Bu encountered this situation again, with Guo Jia by his side, even without his own help, he would not be able to

There will be fear for life again.

After the instructions were given, Guo Jia took the order and left. Xun Yu was the only one left in the tent. Liu Xuan saw that he was silent and said with a smile, "Wen Ruo is worried about the yellow scarf army?"

Xun Yu shook his head: "If there is only one yellow scarf, it is not enough to worry about. I just don't know how many people in the world are like Nanhua?"

After hearing Xun Yu's words, Liu Xuan blinked and counted silently in his mind: "It shouldn't be too many, at least as far as I know, it shouldn't be even numbers."

His nonchalant tone almost made Xun Yu vomit blood. There were several even-numbered people. There were so many powerful and powerful people in the world. If these people all jumped out to embarrass the imperial court, the world would be in chaos.

What does it look like?

Liu Xuan smiled and said: "What can we do if we have more? Just kill them all. Wen Ruo thinks too much."

Xun Yu said nothing. Although he felt that the emperor seemed too optimistic, he could not think of any rebuttal, so he had to talk about the situation in the northwest.

There was no argument on Liu Xuan's side, but there was a dispute between Lu Bu and his subordinates.

In the final analysis, it is still the matter of Nanhua. Because Nanhua was so involved, all the generals under Lu Bu thought that it was not necessary to stop first and wait for the arrival of the army before making plans.

Especially the battle between Lu Bu and Nan Hua, these people were horrified when they watched it. They felt that it was no longer a fight between humans, but a battle between gods - they couldn't get involved at all.

This battle also made them very frightened, especially worried that the old Taoist was an expert invited by Li Jue and Guo Si. If that was the case, rushing forward so recklessly would be tantamount to seeking death.

But Lu Bu would not agree. He was furious. When he heard that the old Taoist might be Li Jue and Guo Si, he immediately marched to catch up with the two thieves to fight with them to get rid of the bad breath in his chest.

"Today's humiliation cannot be repaid as a man. If the old Taoist is really the person invited by the two thieves, this battle will just settle the grudge."

Immediately, we ordered to set up camp and rest for one night. We would cook at four o'clock tomorrow morning and then move forward. We must reach the front line as soon as possible to fight the two thieves.

The generals could not persuade them, so they had no choice but to obey orders. However, before the battle started, Lu Bu lost the Red Rabbit Horse first, and almost died himself. The morale of several generals was severely damaged. The situation would not be good if this situation continued.

.

Although Lu Bu was furious, he saw clearly. After thinking about it in his mind, he came up with a plan - his plan was also simple. He was going to lead the cavalry first, and the generals and infantry would slowly follow behind, until they encountered the enemy.

Let him lead the charge and kill him a few times to raise everyone's morale before talking about other things.

After making this decision, they acted in accordance with the law early the next morning. The generals did not say anything and just obeyed the orders. The Tiger Army marched quietly for several days. Finally, they arrived at the front line and bumped into Li Jue.

The vanguard force.

The two vanguard armies collided unexpectedly. There was nothing to say. They just set up their positions and started fighting. But what surprised Li Jue's army was that a general from the imperial army rushed out first. The general who knew Lu Bu was a

Looking at the robe and Fang Tian's painted halberd in his hand, he immediately recognized his identity.

"It's Lu Bu!"

Just as he was panicking, he suddenly discovered that Lu Bu rushed out regardless of the troops and horses behind him. Not only did the formation not open up, but many of the cavalry behind him failed to keep up.

Although this man didn't understand what was wrong with Lu Bu, he couldn't miss such a good opportunity. If he could kill Lu Bu, he would become famous all over the world: "Hahahaha, you are committing suicide, you can't blame me!"

With a wave of his hand, he ordered the archers in the formation to come forward: "Fire the arrows and shoot him to death with random arrows!" After finishing his words, the sound of bowstrings came one after another behind him, and countless arrows were seen leaving the strings, densely packed like locusts.

Blocking out the sky and the sun, he turned around in mid-air and smashed down on Lu Bu's body.

Not only was Lu Bu not shocked when he saw this scene, but he shouted loudly: "Death to the traitor!" Then he used Fang Tian's halberd in his hand like a propeller, and knocked all the arrows that were covering the sky to the side.

He didn't even get hit by half of the arrows.

When the soldiers of Li Jue's army saw this scene, they felt as if they had seen a ghost, with dull expressions on their faces.
