Liu Xuan didn't know that Xun Yu would have this kind of speculation, but fortunately, Xun Yu felt that this idea was too unreliable, so he quickly threw it aside.

In the following period, Liu Xuan taught the method to Zhang Liao, and sent it to Cao Cao, and by the way, Cao Cao also taught the basic method in his hand to those generals.

As for Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan, because they had already come to Chang'an, Liu Xuan personally sent someone to guide them, and this work naturally fell to Zhang Liao, which also made the Xiahou brothers have some friendship with Zhang Liao.

Liu Xuan did not shy away from Liu Bei about these things, so Liu Bei seemed a little in a trance during this time, probably because what he had seen and heard during this period had exceeded his understanding.

When he led his troops to fight against the Yellow Turban thieves, he had also seen the Yellow Turban Demon use spells, but he never thought that the Son of Heaven would also know these mysterious methods, and he had the heart to ask for advice, but he thought that he had just come to Chang'an, and he was not trusted by the emperor.

Liu Bei didn't know that Liu Xuan would not be stingy with such a set of exercises, but now is not the best time to teach Liu Bei.

At the beginning, the nascent dragon qi was divided into three, Cao Cao's part was intercepted and killed by himself halfway, and the other two parts should have gone to Sun's place, and the other part was on Liu Bei.

Since seeing Liu Bei, the dragon qi in Liu Xuan's body has echoed, and he has been quietly trying to take away the dragon qi during this time, if he is taught the cultivation method at this time, Liu Bei, who has the dragon qi in his body, will definitely enter the realm quickly, and the dragon qi will also change from protection to the true yuan energy used for him, doesn't that make Liu Bei also master the use of dragon qi? He can't do this kind of thing.

In addition, Liu Bei didn't take the initiative to ask for it, so he didn't have such a thing, but he didn't know.

In the spring and March of the second year of Jian'an, 191 A.D.

The imperial court ordered Galubu to be the general of the expedition to the west, as the vanguard officer, and the commander of the Huben army was in front, and the Son of Heaven led 10,000 forbidden troops out of Chang'an to conquer Li Dao and Guo Yan.

This expedition was not concealed, but hyped up, so the soldiers and horses, who were expected to set off in February, did not set foot out of Chang'an City until mid-March.

Liu Xuan rode on a horse, Liu Bei and Zhang Liao on the left and right, and then there was a minister of civil and military affairs who should accompany the army, and vaguely you could see Huangfu Shoujian, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei each leading soldiers and horses to guard the side.

It's Huang Zhong, although he received the edict from the imperial court, but because the road is a little far, he can't arrive for a while, not to mention that even if it really arrives, it is estimated that this battle will not be the turn of this Huang Hansheng to get out of the horse.

Not to mention Lu Bu, who served as a pioneer general, and the generals under his account, there were also strong generals such as Xiahoudun, Xiahouyuan, Zhang Liao, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei beside Liu Xuan...... There is no feeling that this is going to war.

Raise your eyes and look forward, there are dense soldiers and horses, the long line is almost lined up to the sky, and looking back, Liu Xuan sighed: "It turns out that thousands of troops and horses are like this when they march." ”

Although he had seen a big battle at the beginning, there was no need to march slowly on the ground like this at that time, so Liu Xuan saw such a scene for the first time, and he couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"I don't know what it will be like if hundreds of thousands of troops go out on the march. ”

It happened that Zhang Liao listened clearly, and said to Liu Xuan respectfully: "Your Majesty doesn't know, if hundreds of thousands of troops are dispatched, it will also be like this. ”

"Oh?"

Zhang Liao pointed: "There are many soldiers and horses, the momentum is far beyond the sight, and the place where you can see is only this one, unless you climb to a high place and look down, you can see the difference." ”

Liu Xuan nodded, this is indeed the case, thought about it and asked, "Wen Yuan may have guessed how Feng Xian would fight this battle as a pioneer?"

When Zhang Liao heard the emperor's inquiry, he didn't need to think about it, and replied directly: "With General Lu's habit, he must rush to the battlefield quickly, and then give the enemy a dismount first, and then lead the army to cover the killing, and win the next battle first." This was followed by the pursuit of the enemy army, not in the city and county. ”

Generally speaking, those who serve as pioneers are to open roads in the mountains, build bridges in the water, detect the safety of the roads ahead, and at the same time clear some attacking enemies, as well as the task of attacking and killing the enemy's horses, paving the way for the follow-up army, and when it comes to the battlefield, the vanguard army should decide according to the situation whether to help the follow-up main force fight for a good place to station, or to carry out an attack.

Generally speaking, it is mainly to seek stability, hold the camp and wait for the army to come, and the task of the vanguard will be completed, and at most the vanguard army will come out to take the lead when the battle is fought - of course, this is also impossible, and it is also possible that because the vanguard army is tired, go down to rest and let others take the lead.

But this vanguard also depends on who will do it, if Lu Bu comes to be the vanguard general, it will be impossible not to fight. Even according to Zhang Liao's words, that is: "General Lu is afraid that he wants to decide on the northwest in a war, and His Majesty's army will take over in the past, and there is no need to participate in the war." ”

Liu Xuan smiled: "If that's the case, then it's even better." ”

In this expedition, all the 10,000 forbidden troops in Chang'an City were brought out, and only 3,000 soldiers who were being reorganized and 2,000 recruits were left in the city.

It was the idea of fighting a war to level the northwestern counties, and the civil and military forces who were good at fighting in the DPRK and China jumped out one by one to accompany the army, among which Lu Zhi, Zhu Jun, Huangfu Song and others were the most enthusiastic about asking for war.

However, Liu Xuan thought that there were only a few people in the reorganization of the forbidden army, not to mention that Chang'an was the foundation of the imperial court, and there could be no mistakes, so please sit in Chang'an to protect the Beijing division without worry. Such words were suppressed, this expedition, Liu Xuan brought all the cronies among his cronies, so there were not many people.

Among them, Yang Biao and Wenchen brought Xun Yu, Guo Jia and Li Su with the army, and in addition to bringing a Yellow Gate Squire Zhong Xuan, this person was recommended by Xun Yu to be promoted to the position of the Yellow Gate Squire, originally just a small official in the court, and since Xun You was transferred to the household department, Liu Xuan suffered from the fact that there was no good person in the position of the Yellow Gate Squire, Xun Yu recommended Zhong Xuan, who was also Yingchuan.

Zhong Xuan, Liu Xuan really didn't think about it for a while, he just thought he was a fellow villager of Xun Yu, and then he suddenly remembered that Zhong Xuan seemed to mix well in the romance and the official history, and more importantly, his son seemed to be the Zhong Hui who participated in the battle to destroy Shu.

Thinking of this, he was curious whether Zhong Hui was born at this time, and he chatted with Zhong Xuan about family life in his spare time, knowing that although Zhong Xuan had already married a wife, he had never had a son, and at that moment Liu Xuan even wondered if he remembered it wrong.

However, Zhong Xuan himself is also very talented, after Liu Xuan chatted with him, he was also more satisfied with this person serving as the Huangmen squire, not to mention that Zhong Xuan's calligraphy is quite unique, and Liu Xuan can also have one more pastime when he has nothing to do.

Wenchen brought these few, and after setting up camp every day, he would gather in Liu Xuan's big tent to discuss matters, but in fact, there was not much to discuss at all, but Taiwei Yang Biao said to Liu Xuan: "General Zhengxi is too eager to lead the troops forward, so afraid of the ambush of Li and Guo." ”

Liu Xuan nodded, didn't say anything, since he chatted with Zhang Liao, he knew that Lu Bu was so arrogant, he would definitely not obediently wait for his main army to arrive, and now it proves that Lu Bu is earnest, and he is not good at reprimanding.

"General Lu has been in battle for a long time, and he is a first-class general in the world, so he will not be lightly hit by the enemy's plan, and the captain does not need to worry too much. ”

When Yang Biao saw the emperor say this, he could only secretly shake his head and sit back. But thinking about Lu Bu's strength, he also let go of his mind a little.

It's just that this time the imperial court went on an expedition, it was originally to fight the strong with the weak, and to fight more with less, if Lu Bu came out with another moth, how would this battle be fought next?

Several Wenchen in the account are actually not high-ranking officials, such as Xun Yu, Zhong Xuan, Guo Jia and others are all sitting at the bottom of the seat, and Li Su's level is a little higher, seeing that the atmosphere is a little embarrassing, he said: "General Lu's courage is known to the whole world, as long as the enemy has heard of General Lu's name and has not seen it, this courage is weakened by three points, and he is cowardly before fighting, how can he be invincible?"

These words also comforted Yang Biao, telling him not to worry too much, after all, Lu Bu's reputation is indeed amazing, although Li Dao and Guo Yan are also famous generals in Xiliang, but they are still a grade worse than Lu Bu, even if these two people are not afraid, what about his subordinates?

As long as he doesn't take Lu Bu's attack, then the next thing is a situation of complete collapse, and he can't stop it, this is the effect of the famous general's own prestige.

In fact, this famous general is now looking at his soldiers and horses with a headache.

The Tiger Ben Army was reorganized, consisting of 1,000 Tiger Ben cavalry and 2,000 Tiger Ben guards, originally this was a guard army, but Lu Bu was not good at this, so he led the Tiger Ben Army as the vanguard.

The tiger guards don't have to bother, the cavalry comes and goes like the wind, and the old department is reorganized, and Lu Bu is quite familiar with the command, but the two thousand tiger guards are armored foot soldiers, not that Lu Bu can't use it, it's just that he doesn't like it.

Fortunately, with Gao Shun under his command, Lu Bu asked Gao Shun to break up the trap camp under his command and integrate it into the Tiger Ben Foot Soldiers, so that Gao Shun could exert the power of these foot soldiers in the shortest possible time. Although this period of time has been quite effective, it is still a lot worse than Lu Bu's expectations.

Seeing this situation, Cheng Lian directly said: "The general is in a hurry all the way, the soldiers are too tired, this place is close to the territory of Li and Guo and the two thieves, and they may fight with the enemy soldiers at any time, so it is better to hold off for a few days and ask the soldiers to recover some strength." ”

Although Lu Bu sometimes seems reckless, he is not stupid, of course he understands that if the soldiers are weak, then what kind of battle will there be, so he nodded and agreed, and at the same time turned his head to Wei Xu and Song Xian and ordered: "You two are a hundred light horsemen in each generation, and you will investigate the left close, and you will camp here today." ”

It's just that before the words fell, Lu Bu suddenly felt alarmed, his head was slightly biased, almost between the lightning and flint, and a sharp arrow grazed past his helmet, if it wasn't for Lu Bu's fast flash, this arrow could kill him.
