It is not surprising that Lü Bu would come to him and offer to reclaim the south.

The Hebei region was recovered by Cao Cao with his army, and in the imperial court, when it came to the official position of military generals, in fact, Lü Bu was above Cao Cao, and even now, the status of the general Zhengxi was slightly higher than Cao Cao's current general of Zhengdong (the general of Zhengxi was directly responsible for the military of the entire northwest in the Han Dynasty, so his status was high).

Sitting in such a high position, it looks great, but the pressure is not ordinary.

Although Lu Bu is quite proud and doesn't bother to pay attention to some gossip, this does not mean that he has no pressure.

In the first two years, he was more concerned about his daughter's situation, and when his daughter's life in Taixue was on the right track, and he had a good stay with his wife for a few years, Lu Bu felt that he had rested long enough.

"Since Cao Mengde helped His Majesty recover Hebei, then I will recover Yizhou, Jingzhou and Yangzhou!"

The land of Sanzhou occupied the entire southern part of the Han Dynasty, and the territory was extremely vast, and if he could do this, Lü Bu would not only be able to consolidate his position in the court, but even leave a very glorious mark in the history books.

Liu Xuan knew Lu Bu's thoughts, and he was happy to let Lu Bu accomplish this feat.

As the first general to be used for himself, how could Liu Xuan not take care of it?

"Feng Xian doesn't need to worry, once this battle starts, Feng Xian will definitely go out first!"

Liu Xuan smiled and comforted, and then gave a promise.

It's just that what was unexpected was Lu Bu's next words: "The minister does not seek to be the commander of the armies, but only the position of a vanguard officer!"

"Pioneer?"

This is really surprising, if Lu Bu is the vanguard, then who will be the right commander of this army? At least people below the third prince don't have to think about it.

And on the side of the simple general, the status and identity are even higher than Lu Bu, if Lu Bu is the vanguard, he will either promote Cao Cao again, or simply drive the expedition himself!

But think about it carefully, after he ascended the throne and became the emperor, which of the few major battles did he not participate in? Could it be that Lu Bu saw this, and simply asked himself to take command and personally march, and then he led the army to be the vanguard general?

In this way, Lu Bu is confident enough to pacify the land of the three southern states with only the vanguard army, and what the Son of Heaven has to do is to follow behind him to collect the fruits of victory, to put it bluntly, he is a little deliberately flattering himself.

"Yes, I love it!"

Liu Xuan nodded: "Since Feng Xian has opened his mouth, he will naturally not disappoint you, I guarantee that once the army moves south, the position of the vanguard general must be Feng Xian!"

Lu Bu was very happy, and immediately got up and saluted: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

This time, Lu Bu is here for this.

As the Son of Heaven moved into the newly built Dragon Palace and returned to Luoyang, the Chinese martial arts of the dynasty knew the meaning of the Son of Heaven, and the eyes of the imperial court would be focused on the south.

The generals are also gearing up to show their strength - the generals who missed the battle of Hebei last time have resorted to all kinds of means to seize this opportunity.

It is said that Pound, who originally worked under Ma Teng's account, also tried to get in touch with Ma Chao, hoping to ask his father to help him say a few words, so that he would not miss a big war again.

If a military commander wants to make a contribution, he does not need a scribe to show his talents even in peacetime. If the generals want to achieve something, they need to encounter a time that is not very peaceful.

In the early years of the Han Dynasty, there was a great chaos, which was a hardship for ordinary people, but it was the best era for these generals who wanted to make contributions and make a name for themselves.

It's just that I never thought that after the new emperor ascended the throne, the world suddenly changed its direction and developed in a better and better direction - although everyone knew that this was a good thing, but it was inevitable that there was a little disappointment in my heart. ...,

Especially after joining the imperial army and beginning to understand how strong the imperial army is, these people are more and more sure: I am afraid that after this battle, the world will be stable.

"When that time comes, I'm afraid there will be no more opportunities for meritorious service!"

It's not that they don't have the possibility of promotion when the world is peaceful, but the most convenient way for generals to be promoted to earn merit is to fight, and when the world is peaceful, the opportunity to fight is basically concentrated in a few places.

Because of the border war with the aliens, the Son of Heaven must give priority to those familiar generals, and these generals are all in the prime of life at this time, so there seems to be no reason not to use them.

"Be sure to seize this opportunity!"

All kinds of factors combined, which made the generals extremely active after the relocation of the capital, and they almost didn't go directly to the back door to give gifts to ask for a place to go on the expedition.

If Liu Biao, Sun Ce and others in the south learned about the situation on the side of the imperial court, they would be afraid that they would vomit blood three times in anger: "Feelings: The imperial court army regards the southern expedition as an outing to make merit by the way?"

The actual situation is similar, almost no one on the court side thinks that the southern princes can resist the imperial army, even if Yangzhou Sun Ce has the Yangtze River natural danger as a barrier.

Especially after the Son of Heaven began to cultivate the naval army without concealment, they didn't think that Sun Ce would be able to resist the footsteps of the imperial army.

Liu Xuan was not so optimistic, but he didn't particularly care about Sun Ce's problem, what he cared about was Yu Ji and Zuo Ci, who didn't even dare to come out of himself, and only dared to use his clone and puppet to sneak attack him.

"The lesson from the last time will make him more cautious, if this bastard comes out again, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to clean up!"

Since the Battle of Hebei, Zuo Ci seems to have disappeared. Liu Xuan knew that this guy was looking for a place to recuperate, and at the same time thought about how to deal with himself next.

It's not a happy thing to have a guy like this who is always thinking about himself.

In addition, through a wide range of interpersonal relationships, Shi Daoren learned one thing: the Venerable Purple Void, who lived in seclusion in Xichuan, saw that regardless of the unscrupulous behavior of Heavenly Master Dao Zhang Lu, he actually went out of the mountain!

The Purple Void Master didn't have too many ideas, so he directly chose Liu Zhang, the son of Liu Yan, the original lord of Xichuan and the successor to the position of Yizhou pastor.

It is said that during this time, because of the relationship between the Purple Void Master, Liu Zhang began to plan a counterattack, but according to the information obtained by Shi Daoren and then analyzed by Liu Ye, Liu Zhang had no chance of winning.

However, the existence of the Purple Void Master can ensure that even if Liu Zhang is tragic, he can still keep a region, if he is really determined to defend it, the Heavenly Master Dao lacks sufficient means.

"Over the years, the information collected on the Heavenly Master Dao shows that although the Heavenly Master Dao has some mysterious techniques and is also very powerful, the degree of popularity is not high, and most of the soldiers are not much different from the Yellow Turban Bandit Army, they are just peasants with weapons! Only a few generals know some wonderful spells...... Compared to the Yellow Turban Thief Army, there are still some techniques that can directly stab the soldiers, and the Heavenly Master Dao has almost no means in this regard!"

Although Liu Xuan had never launched a military operation against Xichuan's Heavenly Master Dao, that didn't mean that he didn't pay attention to them - the guys who had to be cleaned up sooner or later, so they had to keep an eye on them.

Liu Ye even walked the secret agents to various places in Yizhou, collecting information about the Heavenly Master Dao for many years.

After several years of collection and sorting, now the imperial court has a more detailed understanding of the Heavenly Master Dao, which is different from the fight against the Yellow Turban Thieves back then, when there was almost a lack of understanding of the Yellow Turban Thieves, which made many actions in the early days not particularly smooth, and even passively made some adjustments. ..., the same mistake can't be made again, so don't look at the fact that the fight hasn't started yet, this information has been collected quite comprehensively.

"The spells of the Heavenly Master Dao also focus on individual casting and pure power, and there are not many changes!"

Liu Xuan listened while combining the battle with Zhang Xiu, and understood that although the thunder method that the Heavenly Master Dao was best at was amazingly powerful, it did not change much, and it was not suitable for the battle of the Great Army, no wonder Liu Zhang had not been able to fight for so many years.

While discussing with Liu Ye, Cao Bao, who had been guarding outside, suddenly hurried into the imperial study, and then whispered to Liu Xuan: "Your Majesty, hurry up and report quickly: Sun Ce and Liu Biao are at war!"

As he spoke, he handed over the sheet in his hand, Liu Xuan immediately opened it after taking it, and found that there was not much content in it, but he explained the matter very clearly.

The general content is that Sun Ce launched an attack on Jiangxia in the name of revenge, Jiangxia Taishou Huang Zu has already led his troops to meet the enemy, and the two sides have already carried out several small-scale tentative operations across the river - Huang Zu has completely fallen behind in these several temptations.

The news was sent directly from Jingzhou to Luoyang, and I just received the news from the Ministry of War, but it just so happened that Liu Ye was here, and the Ministry of War only needed to discuss the response plan under the auspices of Guo Jia.

After telling Liu Ye the content, the secretary of the military department immediately got up and said: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, you can recover the world!"

Liu Xuan moved the capital to Luoyang to deal with the south, but he lacked a suitable excuse. Regardless of whether it is reliable or not, this excuse is still needed.

Of course, if all the conditions are ripe, it doesn't matter if Liu Xuan has no excuse, it's just a little more infamy.

But what I didn't expect was that it hadn't been long since the capital had just been moved, and the affairs of the imperial court were still being transferred, so Sun Ce took the initiative to send the reason to the door.

But it's not surprising if you think about it carefully, Sun Ce is not a fool, and there is no shortage of talents in the civil and military forces under his account, so he must see the meaning of the court's actions.

If they don't take advantage of the fact that the imperial court is still busy with miscellaneous matters such as moving the capital, and wait for the imperial court to solve these trivial matters, then they really have no chance.

It is better to take advantage of this time to destroy Liu Biao first, then block the Jingzhou portal, and then rely on the Yangtze River to divide the south, and at the same time buy enough time for himself to develop - Sun Ce also needs to 'upgrade' his army. ！。
