Xiliang Army Battalion.

Li Dao and Guo Yan stood outside the gate with their hands behind their backs, looking very solemnly ahead, and in the barracks behind them were thousands of carefully selected soldiers.

These soldiers, without exception, were tall and battle-hardened soldiers, and since they received the news from the emperor last night, the two of them had made a series of preparations.

This is their best chance to make a first impression on Liu Xie, of course, there can be no relaxation, to be honest, they didn't expect Liu Xie to come in person at first.

"This matter must be listened to me, after the emperor arrives, let's find an excuse to fight with his subordinates, first, we can check the emperor's reality, and second, we can also prove our value, this is a good way to get the best of both worlds!" Li Wei retracted his gaze looking ahead, turned his head and said to Guo Yan beside him very seriously.

Regarding this idea, he immediately mentioned it after receiving the news, but both Guo Yan and Jia Xu denied it without hesitation.

"Didn't we say yes last night? Don't get these bells and whistles, since you have decided, let go of everything and follow the emperor with peace of mind, even if we may leave one day, it will be a matter of the future! Guo Yan shook his head unexpectedly.

"You don't understand...... I'll explain it to you when it's over, you have to follow my method today! Li Wei snorted lightly and repeated it again in an unquestionable tone.

More than half of the thousands of soldiers behind him were his men, and he knew in his heart that Guo Yan and Jia Xu would not object too much to him.

Really.

After he repeated it, Guo Yan also fell silent and stopped talking and acquiesced to his request, but his expression was a little strange when he looked at him.

While the two were talking, there was a sudden dust in front of them, and a knight rode his horse quickly in front of the two, and said to Li Dao very respectfully: "General Qiyu, the emperor's people are about to arrive!" ”

"How many people did they come? Five thousand or ten thousand? Li Wei nodded slowly, thought for a while, looked at the visitor and asked.

"Only a few dozen!" The knight replied quickly.

"Dozens?" Li Dao and Guo Yan spoke almost at the same time.

Before they could react, there was already a bigger movement in front of them, and the sound of dense horses' hooves kept coming, and then the two saw Liu Xie, who was in the lead.

Li Dao and Guo Yan had followed Dong Zhuo in Luoyang for a period of time, so they were quite familiar with Liu Xie.

Merely.

At that time, Liu Xie was just an existence that didn't understand anything, and everything had to be arranged by them, but now, they have reached the point where they want to lead people to submit to each other, and there is always a strange feeling when they see each other at this moment.

After a brief hesitation, Li Dao and Guo Yan also reacted, turned over and quickly walked forward, and when they came to a place not far from Liu Xie, the two of them stopped in unison, dismounted and walked in front of Liu Xie.

"The last general, Li Dao, greets His Majesty!"

"The last general, Guo Yan, greets Your Majesty!"

The two of them bowed to Liu Xie very respectfully, and Liu Xie was not idle, he gestured to the two of them with a smile: "The two generals don't have to be polite, please get up quickly!" ”

That is, when Li Dao and Guo Yan appeared, Zhang Han, who was following Liu Xie, instinctively touched the long sword at his waist, ready to deal with possible situations at any time.

Zhang Han's changes were immediately noticed by the shrewd Li Wei, but he didn't say anything and ignored it directly.

"Your Majesty has worked hard from afar, please go to the barracks to rest!" Li Dao personally stepped forward to lead the horse for Liu Xie, and then slowly walked towards the barracks.

Seeing his actions, Guo Yan instinctively frowned, this approach was a bit too reckless, and it was easy to cause misunderstanding on the other side.

It is true that this is indeed the case, the first time Li Wei moved, Zhang Han and the surrounding shadow guards also moved, but Liu Xie glanced back at it casually, and everyone quickly stopped.

That's it.

Under the personal leadership of Li Dao, Liu Xie and Zhang Han walked into the camp of the Xiliang Army with dozens of shadow guards.

When they came to the gate of the camp, the thousands of heavily armed Xiliang soldiers who had already gathered here raised their weapons almost at the same time, and then slammed them on the ground.

"Boom ......"

The dust was flying, and a huge vibration suddenly came, and at the same time, the dull sound of war drums sounded, and the entire thousands of Xiliang troops began to wave the weapons in their hands, letting out bursts of deafening war cries.

"Roar!"

"Roar!"

"Roar!"

The roar shook the sky, and the scene in front of him was extremely visually impactful, and people who were a little unstable probably couldn't stand here calmly at this moment.

Li Wei stopped very naturally, he still looked at the scene in front of him with satisfaction, and pretended to glance back casually at Liu Xie on the horse.

Let's be honest.

For the impression of this emperor, he is still stuck in the time when he met in Luoyang, and the changes now only rely on the analysis of Jia Xu and Guo Yan, and he has never seen with his own eyes how the other party is.

He thought that all this he had prepared would make Liu Xie feel terrified, even if it was just to make him panic, his goal would be achieved.

But.

The fact disappointed him, Liu Xie on the war horse looked calm, facing thousands of heavily armed Xiliang troops, there were no mood fluctuations at all, as if he was watching a very ordinary thing.

"Xiliang Army really lives up to its reputation, it's very good!" Before Li Dao took the initiative to speak, Liu Xie nodded slowly and praised with satisfaction.

He looked exactly like he was inspecting the troops, and Li Wei was horrified to find that all these things he had carefully prepared not only did not achieve the goal, but instead seemed to be showing weakness and taking the initiative to pull the army out for the emperor to show.

Guo Yan sighed secretly and shook his head slowly, he has been with Li Wei for so many years, of course he knows what the other party is thinking, but he just wants to take advantage of the first time to meet to give the emperor a dismount, so as to lay the foundation for asking for official positions and status in the future.

There is nothing wrong with such an idea, but the premise is that Emperor Liu Xie is still as weak as he once was.

Seeing that the situation was out of his control, Li Dao began to be a little impatient, he took a deep breath and secretly gritted his teeth and said to Liu Xie again: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty may not know something, General Lu Bu's reputation in the Xiliang Army is very high, and after learning that Your Majesty has disposed of General Lu Bu, there are more or less complaints in the army!" ”

"Presumably Your Majesty can also understand that the military heart relies on the comfort of the generals, not forcibly suppressing it, and now that Your Majesty is here, the last general has the courage to believe that Your Majesty is in charge!"

After saying this, Guo Yan couldn't help but change his complexion, he didn't expect Li Dao to be so breathless, this was to pull the whole army to take an adventure with him.

"Oh?" Liu Xie raised his eyebrows and glanced at Li Dao meaningfully.

"I wonder what General Li wants me to do?"

As early as when he was preparing to come in person, Liu Xie had thought that it would definitely not be so simple to subdue this army, and he had already prepared for this.

So.

No matter what happens at this moment, he will not be surprised, on the contrary, the more troubles he feels, the more peace of mind he feels, at least this proves that the other party really wants to belong, and now he is doing this just to ask for benefits from himself.

"Actually, it's very simple, Xiliang has always advocated force, if Your Majesty can serve the public on this, the influence of this matter will be completely wiped out!" Li Wei didn't even think about it, so he spoke.

Having said that, fools understand what Li Dao wants to do.

"So, General Li is challenging me?" Liu Xie looked at Li Dao meaningfully, and there was no joy or anger in his voice.

The more he is like this, the more uneasy Li Dao and Guo Yan feel in their hearts, because this is completely different from Liu Xie in their cognition, things have come to this point and he is still so calm, this is not something that can be pretended!

"The last general will never dare to do this, this matter is not for Your Majesty to do it personally, it is enough to send a random person, and the last general will also help from it, after all, all this is just to calm the hearts of the army!" Li Wei shook his head again and again, and said very sincerely.

Although his words were so, the people who heard these words couldn't help but look at Zhang Han beside Liu Xie, there was no fool standing here, and he naturally knew what Li Dao wanted to express.

"Your Majesty, leave this matter to the last general!" There was no need for Liu Xie to open his mouth, Zhang Han himself took the initiative to stand up.

"You have to be careful!" Liu Xie nodded slowly.

It's just that his instructions made Li Wei's expression gloomy, which obviously didn't take them into account.

"Wouldn't that be nice?" Guo Yan took two steps to the side without a trace, and asked Li Wei in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

He clearly saw the performance of Liu Xie and Zhang Han just now, and it turned out that their previous analysis and guess were not wrong at all, and in such a situation, Li Dao still insisted on going his own way, I am afraid that it will be diametrically opposite to their purpose.

"Leave it to me!"

Li Wei didn't plan to entangle with Guo Yan more, he turned around and saluted Liu Xie again, and then quickly came to Zhang Han's face.

"This general, let's accompany the general to make two moves, everything we do is just to show the army, presumably the general will not be blamed on the army, right?"

"It's okay!"

"No matter how ugly you lose, I won't care!" Zhang Han nodded very calmly.

After saying this, he directly turned over and dismounted, and without looking at Li Dao again, he went directly towards the high platform in front of the thousands of troops.

Zhang Han knew very well in his heart that the other party had already made all the preparations, and he was acting on behalf of the emperor, so he ...... He will not show mercy in the future......
