Recently, Lu Bu has had a very comfortable life, first with a big military victory, and then recruited several civil and military generals, and his relationship with Cai Yan has gradually been recognized by everyone, which can be described as a spring breeze.

Early in the morning of this day, after finishing the morning exercise as usual, Lu Bu was planning to go to Cai's Mansion after breakfast.

At this moment, Lu Zhong suddenly handed over a wax pill.

Lu Bu opened the wax pill in confusion, but there were three cinnabar balls inside, and Lu Bu's face couldn't help but change greatly when he saw this.

I didn't care about talking to anyone, so I hurriedly beat my horse and ran towards the craftsman's camp.

This is sealed with three cinnabar balls with wax pills, but it is a code that Jia Xu agreed with them in advance, and only when the situation is very urgent will the signal be used, Jia Xu made people spread this, there must have been a great change, and Lu Bu has lost his temper.

Hurried to Jia Xu's secret room, Tian Feng and Guo Jia were already waiting here.

As soon as everyone was about to salute, Lu Bu waved his hand and asked Jia Xu, "Strategist, why is it so urgent?" ”

"Dong Zhuo is dead!" Jia Xu's tone was as flat as ever, but the news he said was like a bombshell.

"What?!" Not only Lu Bu, but Tian Feng and Guo Jia had just arrived, and they only knew this amazing news at this time.

"When did this happen?" Lu Bu hurriedly asked.

"Ten days ago. I just received the news in the early hours of this morning. Jia Xu handed a piece of Caihou paper to Lu Bu.

Lu Bu took it and looked at it, there were only a few numbers on it, and he opened his mouth to read it out: "Li Guo Sima is anti, Zhuo is a pawn, and Chang'an is in chaos." ”

"Li Dao and Guo Yan turned it around? Who is this Sima? Lu Bu then asked.

Jia Xu opened his mouth and explained: "Sima is the Jingzhao Yin Sima Fang who is talking about, and this person is the head of the Sima family in Hanoi. Last year, when our army attacked the four counties of Sizhou, it was the two sons of this person who set a trap to trick our army. Afterwards, we compensated our army for a lot of losses. ”

Lu Bu nodded, he remembered this matter.

His heart moved, and he suddenly asked, "Where are his sons now?" ”

Guo Jia took over the words and replied: "The eldest son Sima Lang is now under Sun Jian, the second son Sima Yi is serving under Cao Cao's account, and the rest of the heirs are still young and still at home. However, their brother had been away from home for a while, and his whereabouts were unknown. ”

Lu Bu twisted his eyebrows, Sima Lang and Sima Yi have all come out, this is not good news.

However, this was not the time to think about these issues, Lu Bu threw these thoughts out of his mind and motioned for Jia Xu to continue to explain.

Jia Xu then spoke: "At the end of last year, Sima Fang had many contacts with Li and Guo, and they had close contacts. This year, our army attacked Liangzhou, and not long after the lord attacked Xiayang, Li and Guo went to Chang'an. ”

At that time, Dong Zhuo was newly defeated, Hua Xiong was killed in battle, Xu Rong supported troops to defend Tongguan, Zhang Ji's uncle and nephew guarded Guanzhong to guard Yizhou, and the four major factions under Dong Zhuojun's command had two main forces not in Chang'an. Although Li Dao and Guo Yan did not lead their troops back to Chang'an, the defenders in Chang'an City at that time, except for the Flying Bear Army, all the men and horses of the last faction defected to Li and Guo under the persuasion of Sima Fang. ”

"Sss Hearing this, Lu Bu couldn't help but gasp.

Dong Zhuo's army is strong and strong, but there are many factions under his command, which is something that everyone knows.

Since Dong Zhuo entered Luoyang, the people of the various tribes who took refuge have formed a faction of their own, including the people and horses of Bingzhou who were taken away by Song Xian and others when they defected.

This can be said to be the most reassuring and safest way for Dong Zhuo, who would have thought that Sima Fang would be able to bring together a group of people who were scattered, and suddenly Dong Zhuo's second move became a butcher's knife to bury himself.

Lu Bu got up and paced two steps and said, "Is there any news about the situation in Chang'an now?" ”

Jia Xu shook his head, Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo had long been on the same page, and it was very difficult to pass on news to each other, so this was understandable.

However, Jia Xu still said: "Although there is no accurate news, with the news from other places, we can probably deduce some clues. ”

"Strategist, please speak clearly."

Jia Xu nodded, and then said: "Xu Rong led the army back to Chang'an, Zhang Ji's uncle and nephew did not move in the pass, and the 50,000 descendants under the command of Li Dao and Guo Yan abandoned the Wuguan and went to Chang'an. At this time, Chang'an should be covered with war clouds. ”

Tian Feng opened his mouth and said: "The Kansai faction is dominated by Huaxiong, and after Huaxiong's death, it is normal for Zhang Ji to take a wait-and-see attitude. Xu Rong has a close relationship with Dong Zhuo, and he will definitely avenge Dong Zhuo when he goes to Chang'an, so Li Dao and Guo Yan mobilized the army to return to Chang'an. ”

Lu Bu pondered for a moment, and had some scheming in his heart, but asked, "What do the three of you think, how should our army respond?" ”

Guo Jia was the first to reply: "Tongguan and Wuguan are now in vain, and our army should attack them with the power of thunder, so that they can attack and retreat, and they can be defended, and they will be in an invincible position." Then send an elite into Chang'an. ”

Lu Bu looked at Guo Jia, and he seemed to understand what Guo Jia meant.

Jia Xu opened his mouth and said: "Feng Xiao wants to welcome the Son of Heaven? ”

Guo Jia nodded, acquiescing.

Everyone was silent, bowing their heads and thinking about the feasibility of this matter.

Lu Bu heard that Guo Jia just said his thoughts, got up and said, "Feng Xiao's plan is very long, it is exactly what I want." ”

After a pause, Lu Bu then issued a series of orders: "Order Xu Huang and Fu to lead 50,000 troops to Wuguan, and Zhang He to lead 50,000 troops to attack Tongguan." Tai Shici and Zhang Liao led 20,000 troops to guard the four counties of Sizhou. Zang Hong and Zhong Xuan led 50,000 troops to Liangzhou in exchange for Ma Chao and 30,000 greedy wolf iron horses. Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, Zhou Cang, and Liao Hua led the wolf warrior special forces to Chang'an, and they must welcome the Son of Heaven back to the state. ”

Tian Feng worked the side and wrote down Lu Bu's orders in turn.

After the crowd deliberated on the details again, they dispersed.

In Cuiping Mountain, it is still the cave mansion, and the three of Blood Phoenix, Zixu, and Yu Ji are sitting cross-legged.

The blood phoenix's complexion was not as pale as it was at the beginning, and now it was faintly bloody, and it was obvious that it had recovered a lot during this time.

He slowly opened his eyes and woke up from his cultivation, the blood in his eyes was extremely bewitching.

Zixu closed his eyes and said, "Little junior brother, how do you feel?" ”

Blood Phoenix said with a wry smile, "The recovery is too slow. This time, with the help of Senior Brother Zixu's Huiyuan Dandu, the recovery was so slow, but I don't know why. ”

Zixu also opened his eyes at this time and said: "It's normal if it's slow, you have been sleeping for many years, and you don't know your current situation." Since the Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, the aura between heaven and earth has become thinner and thinner. ”

"Is that so?" Blood Phoenix asked in surprise.

Yu Ji nodded and explained: "Exactly, it has been more than a hundred years since now, and now our cave is still slightly better, and in today's outside world, there is almost no aura." ”

More than 100 years ago, Senior Brother Zixu and Nanhua competed for these few Huiyuan Pills, the two sides fought, the battle lasted for several months, the two never won or lost, and later, the two stopped fighting, but suddenly found that the aura consumed could not be replenished no matter what.

Even the injuries of the two of them have not improved for nearly a hundred years.

After this explanation, the blood phoenix gradually understood the problem, but the three of them couldn't figure out what caused this situation.

Shaking his head, not continuing to think about this question, the blood phoenix opened his mouth to ask Yu Ji.

"Senior Brother Yu Ji, how about the family you are looking for this time?"

Yu Ji replied without hesitation: "All talents can be described as the best choice, and one of them can be called a genius." ”

"Oh? can be so praised by his senior brother, this son must be extraordinary. With a sigh, the Blood Phoenix spoke.

"It's just a pity that although I am also from the afterlife, we have changed history before, so the history since then has not been similar to what I know, which makes us very passive."

Zixu and Yu Ji nodded in unison.

"Now that there is no aura between us today, we are still bound by the agreement, and we can't directly intervene as before. Otherwise, we wouldn't have to rely on the power of these mortals. ”

Zixu spoke: "Although we have many constraints, the same is true of the other party. Let's just do what we have to do and make the world chaotic as soon as possible, so that we can reopen the era. ”

The other two nodded.

Just a few days before Lü Bu received the news that Li and Guo had killed Dong Zhuo, Sima Yi learned the news and told Cao Cao.

Cao Cao reclined on top of the small collapse, closing his eyes and pondering.

Sitting next to Xi Zhicai, his face became more and more pale at this time, as if he would die at any time, in just two months, his condition became more and more serious, and during this time, he was exhausted.

finally sorted out the complicated things in Qingyan and other places, but he himself lost his vitality because of the huge consumption of mental energy, and Cao Cao's persuasion many times was also fruitless.

Sima Yi stood in front of the two with his head bowed and his hands down, just now he had already told Cao Cao the news about Chang'an that his father Sima Fang had passed on to him.

Cao Cao didn't speak after listening to Sima Yi's report, and secretly glanced at Xi Zhicai, who nodded imperceptibly.

Cao Cao relieved himself and asked, "Zhongda, you said that your father would create convenience for us to welcome the Son of Heaven, how can I trust you?" ”

Sima Yi respectfully clasped his fists and saluted: "The lord doesn't have to trust the lower officials. The lord only needs to send hundreds of elites to infiltrate Chang'an, and he can naturally welcome the emperor back to Yanzhou. If you can't do anything, it's nothing more than a trip for nothing. ”

"A trip for nothing?" Cao Cao sneered and squinted at Sima Yi, who had lowered his eyebrows.

Cao Cao continued to speak: "How can elite people be called at will, if the information is not accurate, won't all the talents I have worked so hard to cultivate be buried." ”

Sima Yi bowed down again and said loudly: "Zhongda is willing to use the family as a guarantee. ”

When Cao Cao heard this, his triangular eyes raised his eyebrows, and his eyes bloomed with bright light.

After thinking about it for a while, Cao Cao finally spoke: "I'll think about it first." You go back first, and it's not too late for me to think it through before making a decision. ”

Sima Yi never looked up, and after hearing this, he bowed again and slowly retreated.
