In Kunming Pond, a small boat parked on the wide water surface, floating and swaying in the wind.

Liu Bian sat cross-legged on the bow of the boat, with seals on his hands, closed his eyes and meditating. His breath seemed to be dead and almost nothing. The black knife was placed beside him, and a few drops of water reflected a crystal brightness under the warm winter sun.

Everything is so peaceful and everything is so peaceful.

But deep in Liu Bian's heart, a little uneasy appeared.

He had just returned from the distant Xuanming Sea. Unlike the calm here, the Xuanming Sea was undercurrent. His dragon became more and more uneasy, and he looked at the ice field frequently, listened to the faint heartbeat on the ice field, and was under great pressure, so he could not practice quietly. It was precisely because of feeling the dragon's uneasiness that he sat here alone, eliminating all interference, hoping to figure out what creature the heartbeat came from.

Over the past month, the frequency of the heartbeat has been reduced by half, and the sound has become weaker, but clearer. In addition to the sound of the heartbeat, he also heard another sound, a weaker, slower, and thicker sound.

It's a bit like the sound of the wind, but not the sound of the wind. Furious hurricanes often blow over the ice field, but there is no such a low sound. Liu Bian couldn't guess what the sound was, but just now, he suddenly realized that this sound was very similar to breathing, not an ordinary breathing sound, but a breathing sound when it was extremely deep. In a state of high tranquility, people's breathing can be reduced to one tenth or even one tenth of the usual, but it is longer and deeper, somewhat similar to a dragon.

The dragon's breathing is very low and very long.

Liu Bian became even more uneasy. He became more and more suspicious that the creature on the ice field might be a person, and it might be Xi Zhicai.

A slight and rapid footsteps came from a distance. Liu Bian slowly opened his eyes, took a long breath, and slowly vomited it out.

The water surface was slightly rippled, spreading around with the boat as the center, all the way to the shore hundreds of steps away.

Liu Bian looked at the shallow ripples and his eyes narrowed. Then he slowly raised his head and looked at Xun You who was walking quickly to the shore. He smiled silently and said, "Gongda, is there any good news?" Even with hundreds of steps, he could see the smile on Xun You's face.

Xun You raised his arms in his hand and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, it's a good news!" Although he had already realized his life, he was too far away to be able to lift the weight like Liu Bian, and transmit the voice across the river, so he could only shout at the top of his throat regardless of his image.

Liu Bian waved. "Come on."

Xun You jumped on a small boat on the shore, picked up the oars, and rowed himself. Since Liu Bian moved into Kunming Pool, the ministers who came to meet him have become accustomed to this method. In order to keep it confidential, Komway usually does not row for them, but chooses to do it yourself. Relatively speaking, being able to meet Liu Bian alone is a kind of honor, at least it means that they have won Liu Bian's trust.

The sound of "wavering" water sounded. Xun You came to Liu Bian's side, carefully leaned over the ship, and handed out the good news in his hand through the ship.

"Your Majesty Xu Huang defeated the army led by Sun Ce and slaughtered Cheng Pu, Sun Ce, Zhou Yu surrendered, and the siege of Lujiang has been lifted."

Liu Bian responded lightly, not showing too much joy. The result today was not surprising, and it was always within his expectations. The reason why Xu Huang was sent was to achieve this goal. If Xu Huang could not do this, he would be a little surprised.

However, after Liu Bian finished reading the military newspaper, he was still a little surprised. He did not expect Xu Huang to use such a direct and rude way to resolve the battle in Shuxian. He used hundreds of cavalry to break the formation and kill the generals and seize the flag, but he took the general's head among the ten thousand troops, which not only fully exerted his personal force, but also allowed Ma Chao to show the Shandong people the superb riding skills and the power of cavalry, and the deterrent effect was exponentially amplified.

In this way, the Yuan brothers will not only realize that he has powerful generals but also powerful cavalry, and will trigger a series of reactions, pushing the situation in Shandong to a complication.

Liu Bian was very satisfied. Xu Huang not only implemented his intentions well, but also achieved the ultimate goal.

"Gongda, can Shandong be peaceful for a while?"

Xun You smiled: "Shandong can be peaceful, but Youzhou may be the one. Both Liang is under the control of Your Majesty. If Yuan Shao wants to obtain a war horse, he will inevitably plot against Youzhou. To lead his troops north, he must leave a general in Shandong. In my opinion, Cao Cao is the only person he may choose."

Liu Bian laughed. Xun You was right. If Yuan Shao went north to compete for power with Gongsun Zan, then Cao Cao would be the most likely general to be in charge of Yanyu for Yuan Shao. However, Cao Cao was a dragon, and I am afraid that Yuan Shao would not be able to entrust him with confidence. For Yuan Shao, this would be a difficult choice. Maybe in order to be able to go north with peace of mind, he would fight Cao Cao in advance and kill Cao Cao's dragon in the bud to prevent future troubles.

But for him, with the sword of Gun and Wu in his hand, the Yinglong appeared with Xu Huang, and the time to instigate Cao Cao was ripe.

"Gongda, you go to Luoyang." Liu Bian thought for a while: "In addition to looking at the situation in Shandong, please bring me a sentence to Xun Yu: Xi Zhicai may not have died yet."

"What?" Xun You was stunned and looked surprised: "Isn't Xi Zhicai injured by the dragon? He was sealed in the ice? How could he not die yet?"

"I don't know what's going on. Dragons cannot leave the water. If you want to find out what's going on, unless someone rushes to check it out in person." Liu Bian looked at Xun You calmly, with a faint sadness in his eyes: "Go and ask Xun Yu, what is the fate of Xi Zhicai? Will he be a dragon?"

Xun You was stunned for a moment, took a breath of cold air, and hurriedly bowed to take the order.

...

Mount Tai, Tianzhu Peak, Taiping Peak.

Looking at the sixty-four dancers dancing with drums, Xun Yu's eyes were cold and there was not even a trace of smile on his face.

According to the etiquette system, this is the Baqie, which is the emperor's dance music specification. Ji's use of Baqie dance once caused Confucius to be furious and claimed that "it is tolerant, who is not tolerant?" Now, Yuan Shao has not yet achieved any decent victory. He first used Baqie in the Fengmen Holy Mountain of Mount Tai, the initiator. The insult was Xun Yu. I don't know what kind of infamy he will leave in history in the future.

Xun Yu came to see Yuan Shao with no choice. Not only because Yuan Shao forced his brother Xun Chen, but also because Yuan Shao was unable to break through the realm and hatched the phoenix eggs was far away. There were more and more different voices inside the Confucian Sect, so he could not sit idly and watch the Confucian Sect split.

He recommended "Shao" to Yuan Shao, which was written by Emperor Shun, also known as "Da Shao" and "Jiu Shao", which was a great joy in ancient palaces. The performance of this great joy is extremely demanding and very powerful. It can not only be used to be a solemn atmosphere in the court, but also give people a sense of solemnity, but also to be upright and inspire people with phoenix bloodline to realize their lives and break the realm.

Using ancient music to cultivate one's character and to help practice is a secret skill of Confucianism. Confucius studied "Wenwang Cao" not only to learn a piano piece, but also to use this piano piece to understand the realm of King Wen.

But Shao music requires eight qi, because this is the joy of the emperor.

In Fengmen Holy Mountain, using the joy of the emperor made by Emperor Shun not only reaffirmed that Yuan Shao was the leader of the Confucian sect, but also invisibly recognized that he was the emperor and the emperor supported by the Confucian sect. Although Yuan Shao swears that this is just to break the realm and for the future of the Confucian sect, Xun Yu believes that Yuan Shao may enjoy this invisible glory more, and in the future he will definitely regard this as capital and show off to others.

Xun Yu didn't know whether he had done it right or wrong. Standing by the cliff, looking at the rolling sea of ​​clouds, listening to Shao music, who had just taken shape but seemed a little weak, Xun Yu suddenly had the urge to jump down.

Perhaps, only by death can one atone for sin.

"Wen Ruo!" Xun Chen's voice came from behind, awakening Xun Yu from his chaotic thoughts. Xun Yu turned his head and saw Xun Chen's worried eyes. A warm current surged in his dry and silent heart.

"Brother, why are you here?"

Xun Chen frowned, looked around, pulled Xun Yu to safety without hesitation, and whispered: "There is an emergency, I have to come and meet the leader."

Xun Yu was stunned and looked at Xun Chen. Xun Chen was the general who commanded the army. He was currently stationed in Chenliu area. Yuan Shao was in the Taishan area and could not let him disturb him. Xun Chen suddenly came, either there was something wrong with Luoyang or there was something wrong in Yuzhou.

“What emergency situation?”

"The emperor sent Xu Huang to lead a hundred cavalry to attack Shu County, and defeated Sun Ce's army in one battle..."

After listening to Xun Chen's concise narration, Xun Yu took a deep breath, his eyes turned black, and he staggered two steps. If Xun Chen hadn't grabbed him, he would have almost fallen off the cliff. He had reacted for a long time and sighed quietly, suddenly feeling inexplicable ease.

"So, the leader has no time to recuperate in Mount Tai?"

Xun Chen's eyes were a little weird: "Wenruo, why do I think you have the meaning of gloating?"

Xun Yu was stunned for a moment and covered up his chin: "Is that true?"

Xun Chen was about to say that a soldier rushed over, walked quickly to them, bowed and said, "Two Jun Xun, the leader of the alliance is welcome."

Xun Yu and Xun Chen looked at each other, sighed lightly, followed the soldiers off the cliff, walked through the Kabuki, who were shivering in the cold wind, and came to Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao was wearing a cloak embroidered with scales and a crown decorated with colorful feathers. He had a few strokes of cinnabar inserted into his temples on his cheeks, as if he was a colorful phoenix. But at this moment, he did not have a trace of peace, and his eyes were filled with indescribable anxiety and uneasiness. Seeing the Xun brothers coming, his eyes swept across Xun Chen's face and then fell on Xun Yu's face, and said anxiously: "Liu Bian's son has not only a powerful general, but also a cavalry, what can he do?"
