Li Mi was imprisoned, the henchman Wang Bodang died in Luoyang, and the Wagang army was empty, it was a good time to send troops, although it was said that fighting on both sides was a taboo for soldiers, but in terms of the current situation, there was Hangu Pass to block Li Tang's invasion, but Lu Bu was able to free up his hands and take advantage of the situation to clean up the remnants of the Wagang army, as for the young marshal army...... After Shi Zhixuan's trouble, the young marshal's army is crippled, and in the short term, it is impossible to become Lu Bu's opponent, besides, Kou Zhong is now trapped in Luoyang, and he is in a coma, and in a short period of time, it is impossible to go back to take charge of the young marshal army.

Li Tang generals Qin Shubao and Cheng Biting Jin attacked Hangu Pass, and the general Wei Chi Jingde took a detour to Taiyuan with illness, sent troops from Hanoi to take Luoyang, but Hangu Pass, Shan Xiongxin and a husband were the pass, and no matter how Qin Shubao and others attacked, they could not break through, and Wei Chi Jingde's army was intercepted by Chen Dang and his cavalry, and they could not be saved for several days.

Lu Bu took advantage of the situation to order Lu Feng to send troops to Yique Pass, directly to take Xingyang and Yanshi, Luo Cheng led 100,000 blood wolf troops on their backs, taking advantage of the chaos in the hearts of the people of Wagang, to occupy the city of Wagang, Li Mi has accumulated strength in five years, and now because he was unfortunately captured, but was recovered by Lu Bu's army in a sweeping trend, the entire land of Henan, not even held out to a month, it was all included in the territory of Yu State.

……

In the palace, in Lu Bu's bedroom, Lu Bu was comforting Wan Wan, who was in a mood that fluctuated a little, and the maid Juan suddenly hurried in and said to Lu Bu: "Your Majesty, Young Marshal Xu Ziling Xu Shaoshuai asks to see you." ”

Juan said, but the seductive mouth was filled with disgust, no wonder, Kou Zhong just came to kill Lu Bu, and now that Xu Ziling is coming, as Lu Bu's close attendant, she naturally won't give Xu Ziling any good looks.

"Let him go to the Imperial Study." Lu Bu sighed, although he was a little annoyed about Kou Zhong's affairs, he knew very well that these two people were human beings, if it weren't for Shi Zhixuan's deliberate calculation and using the evil emperor's relics as bait, how could Kou Zhong become what he is now.

Xu Ziling was dressed in a scribe's green shirt, full of ethereal dusty atmosphere, as if he was a fairy, which made people envious at first sight, but his eyes flashed with anxiety from time to time, and his body was even clearer, it seemed that Kou Zhong's injury hit him hard.

When the "eldest brother" saw Lu Bu coming in, Xu Ziling hurriedly got up and saluted: "Zhong ...... him"

Lu Bu waved his hand and said, "I basically know about the matter, so it's no wonder Kou Zhong." ”

Xu Ziling couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard this, what he was most worried about was that Lu Bu didn't miss his brotherly love and severely punished Kou Zhong, but now it seems that he has filtered it himself.

"That'...... Kou Zhong, can he leave, there is no Kou Zhong recently, the young marshal army is very unstable, in the long run, I am afraid of ......" Xu Ziling hesitated, not knowing how to speak, after all, this matter, in his opinion, was Kou Zhong wrong first, but now he wants Lu Bu to release people, even if Lu Bu is generous, it is a bit excessive.

"I'm afraid it's a little hard." Lu Bu shook his head, Xu Ziling couldn't help but be gloomy when he heard this, in the overall situation, the two sides are hostile, Lu Bu can do this step, it is already very rare, but once the young marshal army is in chaos, today's Wagang army is probably tomorrow's young marshal army, and Kou Zhong's dream for many years may not be realized.

"Don't misunderstand, it's not that Your Majesty refuses to let Zhong go, but Zhong's current situation...... Some...... Not good. Wei Zhenzhen saw that Xu Ziling was gloomy, and couldn't help but explain, she didn't want Lu Bu and Shuanglong Sword to have any misunderstanding.

"Kou Zhong, what's wrong with him?" Xu Ziling was startled and looked at Lu Bu.

"Come with me." Looking at Xu Ziling's anxious expression, Lu Bu shook his head, got up and took Xu Ziling to Kou Zhong's accommodation.

"Roar let go of me" From a long distance, you can hear Kou Zhong's angry roar, in the air, there is constantly a dead air diffusing around, but Xu Ziling can feel another peaceful breath in the dead air.

In an empty but sturdy room, Kou Zhong was bound by arm-thick iron chains, these chains were made of special materials by Lu Bu hired craftsmen, and even this room was designed and built by Lu Miaozi himself to imprison masters like Kou Zhong.

"That's ......" Xu Ziling's eyes suddenly widened, looking at Fang Yuxi in front of Kou Zhong, who was levitating, his eyes were full of surprise.

"He's Bi, it has the effect of evolving true qi and improving the human physique, and it can purify dead qi, so I put it here in the hope that it will have some effect on him." Lu Bu said indifferently, and the magic of the family, in the past five years, not only allowed Lu Bu to shape the five daughters of Shang Xiuxun, but also showed many wonderful uses, far from being as fragile as in the original book, and had a faint effect on restraint and elimination of death qi, but unfortunately, Kou Zhong was affected by death qi for a long time, and for a while, it could not be completely eliminated.

"Big brother is kind, Ziling can't repay it, the first generation Kou Zhong thanked the eldest brother" Xu Ziling bowed deeply to Lu Bu.

"Since you call me big brother, don't say these kind words." Lu Bu waved his hand: "Moreover, you and I are still hostile in the overall situation, if Kou Zhong can be cured this time, he will meet on the battlefield one day, but I will not keep my hand." ”

Xu Ziling was moved in his heart, he knew very well that if Lu Bu really wanted to defeat the young marshal's army, now was the right time, but Lu Bu was willing to let Kou Zhong go, and this open-mindedness and kindness alone would not be repaid.

"Big brother rest assured, Ziling will definitely persuade Kou Zhong and no longer be an enemy of the eldest brother," Xu Ziling said solemnly.

Lu Bu nodded, and didn't say anything more, military affairs can't be determined by personal preference, that's all he can do, and it can be regarded as helping Kou Zhong complete the dream of dominating the world in his heart, as for the result, it is beyond his expectations.

In the next few days, Xu Ziling stayed in the Luoyang Palace with peace of mind, he was different from Kou Zhong, he was dedicated to the pursuit of heaven, but he was not keen on the cause of dominating the world, and Kou Zhong under the influence of He's Bi, coupled with Xu Ziling's efforts, the exercises gradually restored the peace of the "Recipe for Longevity".

At the same time, the good news in front of the front is constantly coming, under the hard work of Shan Xiongxin and Chen Dang, Li Tang has never been able to cross into the Luoyang boundary, stopping at Hangu Pass and Hanoi, and on the other side, Wagangzhai lost the leadership of Li Mi and Wang Bodang, and gradually because of the distribution of power and civil strife, Luo Cheng and Lu Feng's two armies, step by step, continue to advance the front to, based on Xingyang and Yanshi, spread to the surroundings, Wagang army people are scattered, no longer the former heroic, plus the blow of external forces, it is difficult to escape the extinction, the participants surrendered to Lu Bu or Li Tang one after another, but few people went to join the young marshal's army.

Today's young marshal army is also a situation in the declining West Mountain, even if Lu Bu is suppressed, and there is Kou Zhong in Luoyang in the way of flying pigeons to pass the book remotely, but Shi Zhixuan's cholera has greatly damaged the vitality of the young marshal army, Youzhou Li Shentong took the opportunity to go south, attack Jizhou, and compete with the young marshal army for Hebei.

The young marshal's army, because of this accident, gradually entered a decline, and the whole world gradually formed a situation of confrontation between Li Tang and Yu Guo in the north and south.

Li Tang in the Hangu Pass for a long time can not be attacked, gradually turned the target to Shuzhong, which has not yet belonged, such as today's general trend is becoming clearer, Lu Bu and Li Tang are competing for hegemony, and without the constraints of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, after five years of consolidation, Li Shimin's position has been very stable, and he can let go and fight with Lu Bu.

"The situation in Chang'an is not easy to open, we have successively photographed nearly a thousand intelligence officers who want to sneak into Chang'an, but they are all found out by Li Shimin, there is no intelligence source, and it is a little difficult to deal with Li Shimin" In the imperial study, Shen Luoyan and Xu Xingzhi put a large stack of intelligence in front of Lu Bu, most of which recorded the news of the intelligence department's failure to infiltrate Chang'an, even if someone occasionally mixed into Chang'an, they could not find out any important news.

"Can't those high-level executives in Chang'an buy it?" Lu Bu frowned and said, "If there are one or two high-level helpers, things will be much easier." ”

"The security of Chang'an City is divided between Li Jing and the eldest grandson Wuji, these two have followed Li Shimin for many years, and they are Li Shimin's henchmen, and they can't be bought at all." The Void Walk said in a deep voice.

"It seems that I have to go to Chang'an in person" Lu Bu stood up, a strange light flashing in his eyes.

"Why did Your Majesty suddenly go to Chang'an?" Hearing this, Void Xing couldn't help but be taken aback.

"In the early years, I buried a secret stake in Chang'an, and with her help, I can get twice the result with half the effort, but if you want her to help, you still need me to meet in person." Lu Bu said with a smile.

"Oh?" A strange light flashed in Shen Luoyan's eyes: "I don't know who this secret disguise is?" What kind of status is it in Li Valve, and will it be revealed by Li Shimin? ”

"Sell it for the time being, you will know in the future, but this person is also Li Shimin's confidant, and Li Shimin's trust in her is by no means lower than that of the eldest grandson Wuji and Li Jing." Lu Bu said with a smile.

"Really?" Shen Luoyan was full of disbelief, and expressed doubts about Lu Bu's statement, among Li Tang's forces, people with high status and deep trust of Li Shimin could count them on ten fingers, and it was impossible for any of these people to betray Li Shimin, even with the wisdom of Shen Luoyan and Void Practice, he couldn't guess who this secret pile was for a while.

"Your Majesty, Young Marshal Kou and Young Marshal Xu ask to meet." Outside the door, a crisp voice sounded, but it was Fu Jing's voice.

"Your Majesty, the minister must also prepare for the dispatch of officials from all over Henan and retire first." Hearing this, he stood up and said to Lu Bu.

"Well, that's fine." Lu Bu nodded, and left with a false farewell, and then Kou Xu and the others strode in.

"Big brother......" Kou Zhong looked at Lu Bu, his face was a little embarrassed, now that his dead spirit has been removed, his mind has returned to his previous state, thinking of his behavior at that time, he can't help but be embarrassed when he sees Lu Bu.

"Leaving?" Lu Bu looked at the two of them and said with a smile.

"Hmm." Kou Zhong scratched his head, and when he saw Lu Bu's smile, he couldn't help but feel relieved.

"Big brother, before leaving, I have something to give you." Xu Ziling suddenly took out two seal boxes and put them on top of the bookcase.

"What is this?" Lu Bu said in surprise.

"These two are the handsome seals of the young marshal army, with him, I believe that the eldest brother can successfully take over the young marshal army." Kou Zhong said.

"What? Don't fight for the world? Lu Bu looked at Kou Zhongdao in surprise.

"Well, I originally wanted to compete for hegemony, but I just wanted to enjoy the process, and now I have enjoyed what I should enjoy and what I shouldn't enjoy, and it's not interesting." Kou Zhong nodded and said, "And that brother, hand it over to the eldest brother, I can rest assured, I will write a letter another day to explain the matter." ”

"In that case, why don't you stay and help me?" Lu Bu frowned and said, Kou Zhong's ability is not bad, if he helps, he will have a better grasp of dealing with Li Tang.

"Uh...... The eldest brother should spare the younger brother, the younger brother really doesn't want to be involved in this anymore. Kou Zhong shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"Since Zhongdu has already decided, why should Your Majesty embarrass him?" Lu Bu was about to say something, but was stopped by Shen Luoyan.

"Well, sister-in-law is right, then big brother, let's go first, and come to see you another day." Kou Zhong nodded, squeezed his eyes at Shen Luoyan, and then solemnly bowed to Lu Bu.

"Hmm." Lu Bu nodded and sent the two out of Luoyang before parting.
