—————

After the banquet, Huangfu Jianshou came to Li Ru's tent. Li Ru, who had been taciturn, frowned: "What does the Taifu mean?"

Huangfu Jianshou shook his head: "This is not what my father meant, it is what His Majesty meant."

"Your Majesty?" Li Ru was shocked, and then smiled disdainfully: "It's fine if you say this in front of Mr. Dong, why should you hide it like this in front of me? Could it be that I think Li Ru is stupid and easy to deceive?"

Huangfu Jianshou smiled slightly: "From Your Majesty to Your Father, no one has ever dared to underestimate you Li Wenyou (Li Ru)."

Li Ru was really angry. He lowered his face and stared at Huangfu Jianshou coldly: "Jia Xu once entered the palace as a man, and Zhang Xiu was a famous warrior in the Liangzhou army. Your Majesty knew that they were understandable. I, Li Ru, are just a scholar in Heyang, and among the 30,000 students, were just a crucian carp across the river. How could I get to Your Majesty's eye?"

Huangfu Jianshou looked at the angry Li Ru with a smile and said slowly: "To be honest, we also find it strange. I don't know how Your Majesty knows you. However, Your Majesty often has unexpected actions, and we can't figure it out." As he said, he took out a secret edict from his arms and held it in his hand. Looking at Li Ru with a drastic expression: "This is the edict given to you by Your Majesty. Do you accept it or not?"

When Li Ru saw Huangfu Jianshou taking out a secret edict, he became excited. As a scholar who has been studying hard for many years but has never found a way to enter the officialdom because of his poor family background, his greatest wish was only to have the opportunity to see the emperor up close, and he never dared to expect the emperor to issue an edict to him, let alone a hand edict. In an instant, Li Ru was knocked down by sudden happiness. He couldn't help but kneel down.

"The Grand Marshal's official and ministers received the imperial edict."

Huangfu Jianshou stuffed the edict into Li Ru's hands: "You can read it yourself. Your Majesty said, only you know this edict, and only you know it, and the heaven and the earth know it."

Li Ru's hands trembled, took the edict, opened it and looked at it, and was stunned for a moment. There were only nine words on the edict.

"You will not let me down, I will not let you down. Dispute."

"What does this mean?" Li Ru looked confused, as if falling into clouds and mist.

"I don't know." Huangfu Jianshou shook his head and handed over another silk book: "This is the introduction guide map of Huangdi's twelve forms, and His Majesty specially gave it to you."

Li Ru took the map and was grateful. With the formation of the emperor's personal army, the emergence of the twelve forms of Huangdi was the hottest topic in the army. When Huangfu Song ordered the various departments to select warriors, Dong Zhuo refused to give those elite subordinates to the emperor because of his own selfishness, so only a few people were sent to the Liangzhou army. Later, he learned that the selected people could practice the twelve forms of Huangdi, and those people regretted it.

The Twelve Shapes of Huangdi are not specific martial arts techniques, but only guiding techniques to strengthen the body. However, practicing guiding techniques can improve a person's physical fitness from the inside out, and is the best way to temper the body. It has always been a secret that various sects worship, and they are not disciples who enter the room. They usually have no chance to come into contact, let alone practice.

Now, the emperor uses the Huangdi twelve forms to train troops. Even the introductory map is enough to make many people envious. For Confucian scholars like Li Ru, obtaining the Huangdi twelve forms of different techniques can not only practice, strengthen the body, but also the emperor's eager hope for him.

The future is long, take good care of yourself. If you live up to me, I will not let you down.

This is what the meaning of the combination of the hand edict and the guiding technique map. How could Li Ru not be extremely excited after understanding this meaning?

"I wish to go through fire and water for Your Majesty, and never die."

...

The Grand Marshal Dong Zhuo rushed to Guanzhong with two thousand Western Liang soldiers. When he was in Luoyang, the Sili School Captain Wang Yun, who had already received the edict, met him. Dong Zhuo was a little afraid of Wang Yun. This guy was not only from a noble family, but also had little reputation. He fought with Zhang Rang, a powerful eunuch, and refused to bow his head. Dong Zhuo was quite uneasy about the emperor's arrangement to guard Guanzhong with him.

However, although Wang Yun was a little arrogant, he was very conscious of the generality. As soon as he met, he said to Dong Zhuo: "Yun was ordered by the court to guard Guanzhong with the Taiwei. It is not Yun who can command troops and fight. He is willing to be the rear of the Taiwei Palace, with enough troops and food."

When Dong Zhuo heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief. Wang Yun was not involved in military power. For him, this was a big trouble. He would follow his conspiracy and tricks. As long as he had soldiers and hands, he would be free of worries.

"Zhuo is very honored to be able to get help from Master Zi."

...

Dong Zhuo traveled west and protected Guanzhong and Hedong. All the wars that he was originally responsible for fell on Liu Bian's shoulders. Although the god of war Huangfu Song was right next to Liu Bian, he was determined to make decisions and refused to issue a military order directly.

He did what he said, and once he retreated to the end, he was willing to take on one responsibility, that was, to teach the emperor and do his duty as a Grand Tutor.

On the one hand, Liu Bian was under great pressure and on the other hand, he was relieved. To be honest, if Huangfu Song refused to delegate power, he would be even more worried. He disagreed with Huangfu Song's Qiulong fate, and was quite afraid of Huangfu Song's strength. In history, Huangfu Song was a loyal minister, but who knows whether history would change? In the hands of military power and soldiers, sometimes he could not help but make the decision. As long as he showed a little sign, someone might persuade him to go in and put on a yellow robe like Zhao Kuangyin.

Liu Bian was very grateful to Huangfu Song for his loyalty and had to discuss everything with Huangfu Song. On the one hand, he asked him for advice, and on the other hand, he also expressed his respect for him.

Regarding whether to save Zhu Ye from Xingyang first or Lu Zhi from Guangcheng first, the generals had differences, and most people tended to save Xingyang first. There are two reasons: First, Xingyang faced the main force led by Yuan Shao, with a total force of more than 100,000, which was undoubtedly the main battlefield. Second, there was Ao Cang in Xingyang. Now that Shandong has rebelled, it is difficult to obtain grain supplements in the short term. Ao Cang's grain storage is crucial to the Luoyang court and cannot be missed.

Even Huangfu Song himself tended to save Xingyang first and consolidate the Xingyang defense line before asking for Guangcheng. Although Sun Jian came in a fierce manner, he had just killed Wang Rui, the governor of Jingzhou, and Zhang Zi, the prefect of Nanyang, which caused a significant rebound in the family. It was difficult to get the support of local tyrants, and there would inevitably be problems with the military rations. With Lu Zhi's ability, it should be no problem to defend until Sun Jian's grain was exhausted and his troops retreated.

Liu Bian weighed the pros and cons for a long time, rejected Huangfu Song's suggestion for the first time, and decided to save Guangcheng first.

"Although Yuan Shao has many soldiers and a wide range of generals, because of this, his ambition is not to attack the cities and villages." Liu Bian said in a verbal sentence: "When he attacks Luoyang, will he establish a new king or a self-reliance? If he establishes a new king, why should he escape from Luoyang and rebel? If he establishes himself as an emperor, his foundation is not enough to control the overall situation. Therefore, he will not rush to attack Luoyang. For him, taking this opportunity to eliminate strangers and cultivate his own trusted power is more important than attacking Luoyang."

"Yuan Shu is different." Liu Bian smiled: "If he wants to compete with Yuan Shao, he must have the ability to make achievements. Only by attacking Luoyang in front of Yuan Shao can he have the strength to compete with Yuan Shao. Therefore, he will urge Sun Jian to launch the fiercest offensive."

"Defeat Sun Jian first means breaking a sharp claw of the Yuan family, and you can win the crowd first." Liu Bian smiled confidently: "After solving the dangers of the two wings, we will return to Xingyang and fight head-on with Yuan Shao."
