Liu Bei and Guan Yu were not sure whether Liu Xuan knew the art of divination, but in the afternoon, a battle report came from the front army, saying that Lu Bu encountered the vanguard of Li Jue's army, fought, and won a great victory.

As soon as the battle report arrived, the people around Liu Xuan who had always thought it strange that they thought the emperor had already reached this point couldn't help but look at the emperor with a little more awe - such a person who can know everything in advance is really scary.

, Fortunately, this man is the current emperor, and these people are loyal to the emperor.

But in fact, Liu Xuan himself was very surprised and asked the soldier who sent the message: "There were almost no casualties in this battle. How on earth did you win?"

Not only Liu Xuan was curious about this issue, but several generals around him were also concerned about it.

Lu Bu fought with the vanguard of Li Jue's army, and it was not surprising that he could win. What was astonishing was Lu Bu's record: he killed 800 enemies and captured more than a thousand prisoners. What was even more shocking was that he only killed a few people on his own side and suffered minor injuries.

This kind of achievement has never been seen or heard of. Therefore, everyone pricked up their ears and wanted to know how the most powerful general in the world led his troops to fight and achieved such a result.

But when the messenger soldier spoke, everyone was speechless.

"General Lu rode into the rebel army alone and killed the rebel army in fear. Then the tiger cavalry took advantage of the opportunity to cover up the enemy. The enemy army had no intention of fighting at this time and only ran away, so our army suffered no casualties."

The expedition was launched on the grounds that Li Jue and Guo Si did not obey the imperial edict, supported their own troops, and had the intention of rebellion. Therefore, they called Li and Guo thieves.

"..."

After listening to the explanation, several people felt that they had nothing to say. Liu Xuan was not surprised, but something suddenly occurred to him - although what the soldier said was not clear, Liu Xuan still vaguely guessed that Lu Bu had a certain level of cultivation.

Only after a big breakthrough was he able to achieve such an exaggerated record.

After taking a look at the reactions of the people next to him, Zhang Liao looked indifferent and seemed to have no opinion on this matter. Liu Bei's eyes lit up, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Although Guan Yu not far behind him had a red face and squinted his eyes, and seemed to have no expression, he could still vaguely detect a hint of disdain. Perhaps he felt that Lu Bu's battle had no technical content. He could only say that Li Juejun

He was so idiotic that he disrupted his own formation as soon as someone rushed him.

As for Zhang Fei's reaction, it was even more direct.

"What kind of great ability does Lu Bu have? It turns out it's nothing more than this. I, Zhang Fei, can do the same thing."

What he said attracted too much attention. In addition, everyone was listening to the soldier's words, and the surroundings were already quiet. When Zhang Fei spoke, almost everyone turned their heads and stared at this 'nonsense' person.

"Third brother, stop talking nonsense!"

Liu Bei scolded him quickly, and then immediately turned to Liu Xuan and said, "Your Majesty, don't be offended. My third brother is a fool."

But Liu Bei was worried that Zhang Fei's words were too disgusting, especially when the object of his ridicule was a military commander who was highly valued by the current emperor, the world-famous Lu Bu and Lu Fengxian. What's more terrible was that Zhang Liao beside him came from Lu Bu's tent, and the court relied on him the most.

Both of his troops have a direct or indirect relationship with Lu Bu. If they hate Lu Bu inexplicably because of this, they are really asking for trouble.

I think that although Liu Bei was recognized by the emperor and had the status of an imperial uncle, he still had no power in the court. The only person with whom he could contact and help each other was his teacher Lu Zhi.

Apart from that, there is no one close to him. It is not a wise choice to make enemies with powerful people instead of making good friends with them.

Although Liu Xuan couldn't completely guess Liu Bei's thoughts, he didn't care much. After all, he had already made a rough guess about Zhang Fei's character - he was a straight-tempered man, so what he said was reasonable.

There is no malice, so there is no need to feel any disgust because of it.

Instead, he thought of something and said to Zhang Fei: "In this case, how about I give Yide a good opportunity to make meritorious deeds?"

Liu Bei frowned, thinking that the emperor was dissatisfied with his third brother. Just as he was about to open his mouth to explain a few words, the emperor turned his head and said to him: "Uncle, don't worry, I have heard that this sworn brother is your uncle."

He has the courage to be defeated by ten thousand men. To pick up the head of a general in the midst of thousands of troops is like searching for something from a bag. It is really unworthy of such a brave general to stay by his side to protect him. This time I have an opportunity. If I can make a contribution, I will not be stingy with a general.

name."

Liu Xuan's comments were very sincere and not hypocritical at all. Liu Bei felt relieved when he saw that the emperor's words were not mocking.

At the same time, when I thought about it more deeply, I realized that although I was appointed by the emperor as the Central Protector and had a lot of authority, this position had a nice name, but in reality it was subject to many restrictions.

If the two sworn brothers were with him, it would be difficult for him to make any progress due to his relationship. If he could make meritorious deeds on the battlefield, become famous, and be promoted to general, then it would be worthwhile for him to take his brothers there.

Such a trip to the capital.

What's more, his authority as the guard of the army still snatched a piece of fat from Huang Wan, the captain of Sili School. It's not that Liu Bei couldn't see that Huang Wan didn't like him - the captain of Sili School also had supervision over the imperial court.

He would not be able to bear it if he was always looking for trouble for himself despite the authority of the official.

If the two sworn brothers gain the respect of the emperor, then he can also get the protection of the two sworn brothers, and his life will be much easier because of this - Liu Bei has already understood the world, only if you have soldiers in your hands, you have the right to speak; no

Soldiers and horses can only wait to be bullied.

"Your Majesty attaches great importance to it, which is also a blessing for Yide."

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Fei who was standing by could no longer hold back his words and asked excitedly: "I wonder what your Majesty's orders are?"

These days, they kept a low profile in the capital to survive. Later, although Liu Bei corrected his status and was promoted to the Central Guards Army, their lives became easier. However, he and his second brother Guan Yu only received the title of tooth general.

Although their status is higher than that in the plains, they are extremely disliked by the soldiers in the capital's imperial army. If the two brothers were not very brave and dealt with a few disobedient soldiers,

I'm afraid this tooth general is not stable.

But even so, the two of them are not having a good time now. After all, there are more than 10,000 imperial guardsmen who have been reorganized. It is impossible to beat them one by one, right? What's more, you are not capable of beating these soldiers. I really want to convince them.

If so, either win a few battles beautifully, or kill a few famous generals one-on-one before the battle.

So when the emperor ordered an expedition against the two thieves Li Jue and Guo Si, Zhang Fei was particularly excited. At that time, he said to his elder brother: "This is the time to make achievements and become famous!"

He still fantasized about rushing into the battlefield to capture the flag, but Liu Bei shattered his fantasy with just one sentence: "Second brother, third brother will accompany me to protect His Majesty this time. I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to go to the front line."

The emperor's personal expedition is definitely not a trivial matter. Although there have been many emperor's personal expeditions in several dynasties, there is no such thing as the emperor actually appearing on the front line of the battlefield - if the emperor is already in a position where he can be attacked by the enemy at any time

, then it proves that the war situation has become quite bad.

If you really reach that level, you probably won't have the time to think about making achievements or anything like that.

Therefore, whenever the emperor goes on an expedition in person, he will arrange a large number of elite soldiers and fierce generals to protect him, and at the same time stay away from the front line... As soon as Zhang Fei and Guan Yu heard that they were going to follow the emperor, they immediately understood that even if they went on an expedition this time, they would probably not accomplish anything great.

Chance.

Unexpectedly, because of such words, the emperor actually intended to entrust himself with an important task. If it came true, wouldn't it just fit in with Zhang Fei's wishes? When Liu Bei opened his mouth earlier, he was still anxious behind him, always wanting to take over the important task.

But his second brother kept holding him back - although Zhang Fei sometimes acted foolishly, he respected his two brothers extremely and did not dare to disobey him at all.

Fortunately, after a few words of conversation, his eldest brother no longer seemed to object. At this time, he couldn't help it anymore and spit out the words he had been holding in his mouth for a long time.

Liu Xuan did not go around in circles and directly ordered: "Lead a thousand soldiers and horses to Yide and go to the forward army to help them set up the army camp."

When Zhang Fei heard this, he muttered unhappily: "Running to help with chores, what kind of burden is this?"

Guan Yu and Liu Bei next to them felt awkward. Liu Bei was far away and could only cough as a reminder. Guan Yu poked at the side, but even though Zhang Fei understood what was going on, the expression on his face was still the same.

Liu Xuan didn't think there was anything wrong. Instead, he laughed and said, "Fengxian captured so many surrendered soldiers. It will be troublesome to take care of them. Moreover, there was a rush and a big battle, and the soldiers were already tired. If Li Jue's army was at this time

If you come to attack, or attack at night, you may lose, so..."

The more he talked, the prettier Zhang Fei's face became. By the time he finished speaking, Zhang Fei's dark face was smiling like a flower. Finally, he couldn't help but say directly: "I will definitely not disappoint Your Majesty."

In fact, what he was thinking at this time was: Since His Majesty said that he could fight Li Jue, it also meant that he could take the initiative to cause trouble for Li Jue, so as long as he led his troops there, then this battle would basically be a matter of course.

.

While thinking in his head, he happily ordered his troops and horses, and then quickly broke away from the group and rushed forward. Although the soldier who sent the message earlier did not like this black face very much, the emperor's mission was to help.

So I still lead the way quietly.

As soon as Zhang Fei left with his soldiers and horses, Liu Xuan laughed secretly in his heart, and then asked the army to stop and find a place to camp - he would not leave.

In fact, he sent Zhang Fei to go there first. In addition to asking Zhang Fei to help Lu Bu, there was another important reason: since Lu Bu had broken through, the strength Lu Bu could show now was enough to shock people.

It doesn't matter whether Zhang Fei is allowed to go and perform meritorious service or not. The key is to let Zhang Fei go there and see what kind of power the exercises he teaches have.

"Open your eyes and gain insights, so that you can be willing to contribute to me."
