Chapter 49: Preemptive Strike
The corpse on the ground twisted and changed strangely, and finally turned into an ordinary middle-aged man who could no longer be ordinary, this person looked very stocky, and his clothes should be one of the workers who often went into the palace to repair those palaces these days.
That's all that can be inferred with a corpse.
Liu Xuan stretched out his foot and stepped on the quinoa staff that kept trembling: "Although I just killed a fake that was possessed and manipulated, I finally seized a real thing!"
The long knife in his hand turned, fell upside down, and with a crisp click, the quinoa staff, which was not very thick, was immediately cut in two by Liu Xuan, and a burst of energy overflowed, and the rich True Yuan aura made Liu Xuan feel refreshed, and he couldn't help but take a long breath, and sucked all the scattered aura into his body.
"Although I sucked this spirit element into my body with the technique of breathing, it was a pity that I couldn't use it much. โ
However, the tonic sent to the door is not easy to ask for, as for the fact that the body of Nanhua Old Immortal is not here, Liu Xuan is not surprised at all.
Monks have a long lifespan, as long as they cross the threshold, they can live for two or three hundred years if there are no accidents, and as long as they can continue to make progress during this period, then their lifespan will continue to be extended, and it can be said that the life span of a monk is equivalent to having no end.
It is precisely because of this that the monk is far more life-sparing than ordinary people, when he was cultivating, he fought with others, and he didn't know how many similar life-saving methods he saw, and he himself also had several techniques to defend himself and save his life-especially the escape method of escaping his life when he was poisoned, which was a life-saving method that even his closest comrades-in-arms did not know, and it was precisely because of this that he was able to escape a life.
Nanhua Old Immortal's cultivation may not be so high, but after all, he is also a monk, so it is not surprising that he will use some small means, the only thing that Liu Xuan cares about is that from this incident, he can know that Nanhua's cultivation should be stronger than he expected.
"Maybe he's not weak in close combat. โ
The cultivation civilization on the earth is still in its infancy, and the monks have very few means to save their lives in the early days, Nanhua can cultivate successfully at this time, and it is estimated that he also knows some techniques and techniques, otherwise he would have been killed earlier.
"Maybe it's the legendary Cloud Body Wind Body Technique?"
Of course, this is just his casual nonsense, of course the cloud body and wind body or something are not things in this world, even if they really come out, eighty percent of them are also made up by Liu Xuan.
Look at the quinoa staff, this thing has turned into dust after the aura has been dissipated, and it is blown by the wind, and there is nothing strange around, it seems that Nanhua is not nearby, but hiding in a far place to control this person to kill himself.
This kind of person is not very bold, but it is a special headache, and I don't know what means he will use in the future, but what can be met is that he should not use the assassination trick again.
Withdrew the long knife into the Yuan Shen, turned around and held the Chixiao Sword that was just inserted on the ground in his hand and looked at it, and found that the dragon qi inside the Chixiao Sword had not suffered any loss, but the sword body had been hit hard, although it looked like nothing on the surface, but this sword could no longer be used against people, otherwise it would immediately shatter into pieces.
"After all, it's a blade forged four hundred years ago......"
The status of the Chixiao Sword is due to its experience and those various legends, it is really not good in terms of sturdiness, but fortunately, Liu Xuan does not value this, and his purpose with this sword is always for the dragon qi inside.
Now that the Chixiao Sword can no longer be used, maybe he should take a moment to extract the dragon qi inside, and then fuse the Chixiao Sword body into his own long knife, maybe the long knife can also benefit from this, and there will be some mysterious changes.
As for the means of protection?
Liu Xuan has been refining the six seals recently, as long as he is given some more time, although he will not be able to complete the refining of all the six seals, but at least he can make one of them have some wonderful uses, and when the time comes, relying on the six seals will be enough to defend himself, not to mention that he has already begun to consider putting the matter of cultivating excellent generals on the agenda, and he will send his subordinates to the trouble in the future.
As for the first goal......
Turning his head, he saw a general wearing armor and carrying a knife, leading the tiger guards to rush in, and after seeing the surrounding situation, he immediately checked Liu Xuan's body, and saw that although the Son of Heaven was a little dirty, there were no blood stains, and he didn't think about it, and he didn't care about it, so he immediately asked for guilt: "The last general is late, and I ask Your Majesty to punish him." โ
"You can't blame you for this. โ
Liu Xuan also knew that these Xuanmen masters had the means to deal with these ordinary generals, and they used to be the imperial city protected by the taboo dragon qi, but now the Chang'an Palace has no dragon qi to protect them, so they naturally come and go freely.
If so, it is a bit unreasonable to punish the guards for their disadvantageโit's not that their own people are incompetent, it's really that the two sides are not on the same level, whether it's strength or cognition.
"Pack up this place, and don't make a noise about today's events. After thinking about it: "Just say that the study is in disrepair and the building has collapsed." โ
The colonel bowed his head and saluted, and then ordered his men to carry out the corpses of the guards who had been dead for a long time, and asked people to call the palace maids and eunuchs to help clean up the room.
Liu Xuan didn't pay attention to the specific things, but just took the general to change the palace room, and then muttered.
When the general saw that the emperor was like this, he didn't know what to do, so he could only stand aside, and it took a long time before he heard the emperor's order: "Call Cao Mengde and Lu Feng first." โ
He originally thought that it was nothing for Yulin Zhonglang to vacate the position, but now it seems that he needs to be selected as soon as possible, and the person in front of him is very suitable, but as far as the current situation is concerned, it is best to discuss with Cao Cao and Lu Bu first.
As for the general in front of him, his name is not small.
The surname is Zhang's name Liao, and the word Wenyuan is now under Lu Bu's tent, and he is working in the Tiger Ben army, and today it is his turn to inspect everywhere, so he can come with his soldiers.
In fact, Liu Xuan counted that there were not many generals and colonels who could lead troops at his hands.
Not to mention Cao Cao, Lu Bu and Lu Zhi, they also have the ability to lead troops to fight, but they are too old, and Liu Xuan wants to separate the military and the government, so the specific battle command can no longer be counted on in the future.
Not to mention the eight strong generals, Cao Cao's four brothers are also capable people, the key is whether they dare to use it. Originally, he was still afraid that one side of the force would be too big out of his control, but now he can't take care of that much, Nanhua's appearance made him realize that if he doesn't speed up, I'm afraid that the world will deviate more and more from the original track, who can be sure that Nanhua will not teach a disciple like Zhang Jiao to form a new force?
"We need to strengthen ourselves as soon as possible, and at the same time, we need to restore our rule over this country as soon as possible. โ
Just thinking about it, Lu Bu and Cao Cao were both there, Liu Xuan called the two to sit on the left and right, and then asked Zhang Liao to sit at the end of the seat, and finally retreated left and right, and asked as soon as he opened his mouth: "How is the armament situation now?"
When Lu Bu and Cao Cao came, they didn't know what was going on, and they thought it was just the emperor who wanted to meet them, so they asked about the adaptation of the soldiers and horses by the way.
Naturally, there is no big problem with the Tiger Army, the establishment of the Tiger Army is the most complete, but it is necessary to add a few horses, and the establishment of a thousand cavalry can be filled, and the difference is just training.
In terms of combat power, the Tiger Ben Army has always been the strongest, and it is currently the only soldier and horse worth relying on.
"The Tiger Ben Army doesn't have any big losses, and it can go out at any time. โ
Lu Bu thought about it, the place where soldiers and horses can be used at the moment is nothing more than Tongguan in the east - there is no need for elites like the Tiger Ben Army, but it is enough for ordinary soldiers to rely on the pass, even if there are only 3,000 soldiers, they can also protect the east of Chang'an. At the same time, Lu Bu also left Zang Ba and Cao Xing in Tongguan.
Then the only threat to Chang'an is the west, Li Dao and Guo Yan are both in the northwest to lead the army, could it be that these two people led the troops to attack Chang'an?
Cao Cao also thought of this, and immediately turned his head to look at Liu Xuan, but saw that the Son of Heaven looked calm and not panicked, and it didn't seem like a big war was coming.
He didn't know that Liu Xuan had already made up his mind now, and the internal affairs and military strategy would not be delayed, he had separated the military and the government before, and these generals had no internal affairs to do, if they were always trapped in Beijing, they would inevitably cause trouble, so it was better to find something for them to do.
Now that Dong Zhuo has been gotten rid of, Liu Xuan doesn't need to give Dong Zhuo any good looks, taking advantage of the fact that Dong Zhuo and the Kanto group are in full swing at this time, wouldn't it be good to directly destroy the nails left by Dong Zhuo in the Kansai counties?
"Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, Niu Fu, is now stationed in Shaanxi, and at this time he must have learned that Dong Zhuo was trapped in Luoyang, and he will definitely raise troops to attack. I want to strike first, attack it unprepared, and get rid of a disaster first. โ
If Li Dao and Guo Yan made Liu Xuan a little jealous, then Niu Fu was a big problem in the northwest. Without him, because he is Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, now that the emperor is out of Dong Zhuo's control, Niu Fu, who is a relative, will definitely be regarded as a thorn in the side of the court, and he will be punished quickly.
There was no possibility of reconciliation between the two sides, so Niu Fu must do his best to attack Chang'an in order to regain control of the emperor, and only in this way can the whole clan be saved.
Rather than wait for him to call, it is better to take the initiative yourself. Presumably, Niu Fu could not have imagined that the emperor would take the initiative to send troops to attack him before he had gained a firm foothold in Chang'an, and it was extremely likely that he would be killed unprepared.
Lu Bu and Cao Cao each groaned, feeling that this victory was quite big, although Niu Fu's account was the elite of the Xiliang Army, but Niu Fu's own ability could only be regarded as mediocre, nothing surprising, and there was no one else under the account, Lu Bu commanded the army to defeat this person, and he could easily win it.
"At the same time, immediately issue an edict to inform the world of Dong Zhuo's various crimes, and call on the world's heroes to fight against this thief!"
In fact, this thing has been done for a long time, but the edict has not yet been issued, and troops must be dispatched at this time, and of course this edict must be issued as soon as possible, and then the 'thief party' can be justifiably defeated.
These are not the point, the point is that Liu Xuan wants to send someone to contact Li Dao and Guo Yan, and say good words to appease them, and stabilize these two families first, lest these guys have trouble with themselves with the enemy.
There is nothing unusual about these orders, and it has nothing to do with Cao Cao, he is busy with the formation of the tiger and leopard cavalry, and he is worried about the source of the army, even if he fights, it will not be his turn to go out at the moment.
Unexpectedly, Liu Xuan called him over, asking him to go out of battle: "Meng De and Wen Yuan led Yulin to ride on the left and wiped out all the Yellow Turban remnants in the north of Chang'an." After finishing speaking, he suddenly added: "Try to keep as many mouths alive as possible." โ
