The sun is rising, and the sky is clear.

Da-da-da-da!

On the wide and flat official road, a group of iron horsemen rode horses and spears slowly.

After the war cavalry, thousands of heavy armor soldiers escorted hundreds of carriages to follow up slowly, and went straight to the east gate of Chang'an.

Among the iron cavalry leading the way, a tall general in golden armor lived in the center of the cavalry, walking alone in the center, which was extremely eye-catching.

But I saw that he was nine feet tall, with a burly body, a handsome appearance, and a very majestic sword eyebrow and tiger eyes. In the process of riding forward, he carried the sword on his back and straightened his posture, and sat on a horse as red as fire, walking among the many war horses as if he stood out from the crowd, which was particularly conspicuous. But I saw that the body of this horse was nearly one zhang three feet long, more than one zhang high, the whole body was fiery red, the mane was erect, the silk silk was bright and smooth, and the light was visible. This person rode forward with his back to the rising sun, the golden armor and red war horse reflected with the rising sun, shining brightly, so that the people on both sides did not dare to face it, the halo was dazzling, and it was mighty and extraordinary.

"The Lord is really a man of God!" On the carriage immediately after the war horse, Zhou Yu, Lu Su and Guo Jia sat in it, looking at the mighty body surrounded by golden light in front of them through the window, and couldn't help but admire it sincerely.

Looking at his brother's majestic and tall body like a mountain and the horse that was striding forward, Lu Su's face showed a flush of excitement, and his eyes were full of reverence and excitement.

However, when he noticed that there were people standing on both sides of the official road more than ten miles away from the east gate of Chang'an, he was excited and excited, but he couldn't help but be a little worried.

After thinking about it for a while, Lu Su whispered to Zhou Yu and Guo Jia: "Da Sima's move is undoubtedly a far-sighted stroke of genius, but behind the scenery there is endless danger, presumably the hundred officials of the court should have an idea this time." ”

"It's inevitable and unavoidable." Guo Jiashen nodded in agreement, and said softly: "The lord has entered Chang'an this time as much as before. The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty went out of the city for ten miles to greet each other, and the Son of Heaven stood at the east gate to greet them, which was equivalent to opening the city to pick up. Such a revered etiquette, throughout the ages, only the generals who went out to establish immortal feats, and the class teacher triumphed.

But this time it was not the triumphant return of the army, but the feat of the lord slaying the dragon, hundreds of thousands of people greeted each other, and 100,000 troops responded along the way. Such a grand scene, but the main lord is not the Son of Heaven, but the lord. Since ancient times: once a son of heaven and a courtier. As soon as this matter came out. How could the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty not know the deep meaning and sit back and wait for death?

When this grand event is over, the whole territory of Xiliang will know that the lord is in the sea, and his prestige is like the sky, and the people's hearts are attached. After that, the people of Xiliang will regard the lord as a god, and the halo of the son of heaven will be dim. It gradually disappeared from people's sight. Since then. The people of Xiliang only know the lord and do not hear the Son of Heaven, and the Eastern Han Dynasty is exhausted! ”

Zhou Yu shook his head when he heard this, and then said: "Not only the people of Xiliang are like this, but I am afraid that the people of other states and counties in Dahan also have this idea to a greater or lesser extent. At the same time, the princes of all walks of life in the world must be frightened and frightened, and they have speculated that the lord has bad intentions. This move is even more difficult to get rid of the suspicion of usurping the throne, and it can be seen from the emperor's ambition of the lord. In this way, the situation in the world will be extremely unfavorable to our Xiliang army, and the princes of all walks of life will definitely regard the lord as a thorn in the flesh. I want to get rid of it and then quickly. Zi Jingzhi's worries must be this, right? ”

"Exactly." Lu Su responded: "Today, the situation is not clear, the situation of the princes is becoming more and more intense, and the war is unbearable. In such a chaotic situation, the lord's move is tantamount to adding another fire to the troubled times, making the situation more and more chaotic. After hearing about today's events, the princes of all walks of life will inevitably have a great sense of crisis, and they will inevitably speed up their pace in order to strengthen their own strength. In addition, once today's events come out, they will inevitably attract the attention of all the princes to our Xiliang army, and then their spearheads will also be aimed at our Xiliang army and the lord.

Therefore, in my opinion, from today onwards, the situation faced by our Xiliang Army will become more and more sinister, and the enemy will be in the world, and the slightest carelessness may be in danger of overturning! ”

Guo Jia nodded lightly and said thoughtfully: "Zijing's words are very likely to become a reality, or this situation is unavoidable. In fact, since the lord coerced the Son of Heaven to order him not to obey, he has already stood on the opposite side of the princes of the world, and today's thing is just to completely expose the things hidden in the dark to the sun, so that the people of Xiliang can see it with their own eyes. As for how the princes of all walks of life view this matter, it is not something that we can control. ”

Speaking of this, Guo Jia paused, pondered and said: "In fact, in the early years, Dong Zhuo had already shown his ambition to be a subordinate, and the reason why the princes of the world joined forces to crusade against Dong Zhuo was to stifle Dong Zhuo's imperial ambition, so as to win time and opportunities for themselves. After my lord replaced Dong Zhuo in charge of the Xiliang Army, only among the princes from all walks of life who was not a fool, he could naturally see that the lord had lofty ambitions, great talents, and matched his ambition with strength, as if he was above all the princes, and he didn't need to care about the face of the Son of Heaven at all. However, the lord has been hiding without leaking in the past two or three years, humble and polite, which gives the princes an illusion, making them mistakenly think that the lord is young and dull, his ambition is far inferior to Dong Zhuo, and he has no lofty ambitions for the world.

Now, the sudden appearance of the lord will definitely prompt the princes of all walks of life in the world to re-examine the lord. And some of the small princes who jumped up and down and swayed left and right before, such as Hanoi Zhang Yang, Hanzhong Zhang Lu and Bingzhou Baibo Thieves and other forces bordering our Xiliang, it is not so easy to survive in the cracks. ”

As he spoke, Guo Jiaxin smiled and continued: "As for the fact that the princes of the world will be enemies of our Xiliang army, even if the lord does not show his intentions, they will not be friends with us, and still regard us as enemies. That being the case, why should we care about them, they are always enemies, so we simply put on a clear position and compete with each other. In this way, on the contrary, it is not shackled, but with strength, which is strong and which is weak, who belongs to the country, and the battlefield will be clear! ”

"What Feng Xiao said is very true." Zhou Yu deeply agreed with Guo Jia's words, nodded and said: "My Xiliang army is strong, and it was originally the head of the princes in the world, so they naturally will not form an alliance with us as friends, always wary of us, and target the lord everywhere. Today, the lord showed his heart, as long as he did not immediately depose the Son of Heaven and ascend the throne as emperor, he would naturally be able to appease some of the people who were interested in the Han Dynasty. As our army encroaches on all states and counties in the world step by step in the future, it is actually a process of educating people's hearts, and the people will naturally join the lord, and at that time everything will be a matter of course.

Therefore, I am very much in favor of the words of filial piety. Instead of hiding his head and showing his tail and concealing his devotion to the Son of Heaven to order him not to obey, it is better to make his intentions and positions clear as soon as possible. So as not to leave a false impression on the people of the world, mistakenly thinking that the lord is loyal first and then betrayal, which is unconvincing and has no sense of belonging. However, there are pros and cons to everything, and after today's incident, the situation faced by our Xiliang Army will become worse and worse, and the pressure will be huge. Fortunately, the land of my Xiliang Sanzhou is not as good as the Central Plains Prefecture, occupying the land of the tiger and the dragon, and the dangers of the pass are incalculable, even if it is difficult to calm the world for a while. But it will not be destroyed by the princes. Relying on the dangers of nature, we will encroach on the Central Plains step by step, and sooner or later dominate the world! ”

Listening to the words of Guo Jia and Zhou Yu, Lu Su couldn't help nodding again and again, and his worries faded away. The heart is bright.

Then Lu Su smiled and said: "Listening to your words is better than reading for ten years!" As the two of them said. Before I was Xiliang, I was an isolated storage zài. With no allies and no help to borrow, you can only rely on yourself. That being the case, it doesn't really matter whether we have bad intentions or not, the key lies in whether our own strength is strong. A few days ago, the lord handed over the matter to the three of us to decide. It really made us embarrassed, but in the end, we still chose not to abandon and support the lord, but we have no hesitation in everything that is beneficial to the lord. Support to the end! ”

After a pause in his voice, Lu Su restrained his smile and said in a deep voice: "Since we have decided to support the lord unconditionally, then the burden on our bodies will be heavy next. The top priority in front of us is how to cleanly wipe out the army of Yuvro. If this battle is won, the effect is incalculable; If it is defeated, it will be tantamount to a blow to the head for the lord and my Xiliang army, and the morale will inevitably be frustrated, and the hearts of the people who have been gathered together will also be loosened. The three of us have been thinking about this matter for the past two days, and strive to come up with a good strategy to help the lord do his best to exterminate the barbarian army! ”

"What Zijing said is extremely true." After Zhou Yu and Guo Jia heard this, they nodded happily in agreement.

————————————————————————

"Welcome back General Wei!"

On the official road ten miles away from the east gate, hundreds of civil and military officials headed by the great Sima Li Dao lined up to greet each other, and when Li Li rode his horse close, everyone bowed and waved their hands to salute.

"Appeal ———"

Lifting the reins of the horse, Li Lifei dismounted, quickly helped Li Dao up, leaned over and said softly: "Uncle did his best to help his nephew, which really touched the little nephew, and this kindness will be reported in the future." ”

"Wenchang doesn't have to be like this." Li Dao immediately got up and said in a low voice: "Although my uncle is greedy for power, he will never be confused in the face of major rights and wrongs. Uncle and nephew are close to each other, and they have the same blood, but whatever is beneficial to Wenchang, my uncle is not ambiguous, and he will do his best to glorify the lintel of my Li family! ”

After speaking, Li Dao walked to the side of the horse, held the reins, and said loudly: "The Son of Heaven has given Luan to welcome General Wei, please take Luan back to the city, and the old minister is willing to lead the horse for the general and lead the horse into the city!" ”

Li Li was stunned when he heard this, but he saw that the Son of Heaven Luan was already waiting on the side, and after hearing Li Dao's order, Luan drove slowly, and it was indeed a four-horse royal car, accompanied by a number of honor guards of the Son of Heaven.

Seeing this, Li Li bowed in the direction of the east gate, bowed to the Son of Heaven from afar, and then strode on the Luan car, and said loudly to the hundred officials: "You have to greet you, get up without courtesy, and return to the city with the general." Let's go! ”

With Li Li's hand holding Luan and raising his hand, the civil and military officials got up and retreated to both sides, and after Luan drove Guò, he followed behind and walked slowly.

At this time, Li Zhi, the commander of the Guards who was following behind, waved his hand and said sharply: "Seventy-two warriors listen to the order, merge the cars, and unveil!" ”

"Bang bang bang!"

Following Li Zhi's order, but seeing that behind the carriage that Zhou Yu and Er Qiao were riding, more than ten carriages covered with black cloth moved in response, and seventy-two tall and sturdy armor soldiers skillfully put on eight horses, and connected the twelve carriages that had been prepared long ago with horizontal wooden door bolts. Immediately, eight horses dragged the oversized carriage, and seventy-two warriors escorted the surrounding carriage forward. After the carriage moved slowly, Zhang Liaoce, the deputy commander of Jin Yiwei, immediately stepped forward and uncovered the black cloth one by one, presenting the huge body of the poisonous dragon in everyone's sight.

"Ah———h

A sea of exclamations spread from near and far, causing the people who were close to the poisonous dragon's car to retreat one after another, while the onlookers who were far away on both sides of the official road desperately crowded forward, scrambling to see the dragon's true face with their own eyes.

"Ahh This, this, this、、、 this is Jiaolong! Li Wei, who was leading the horse, looked back when he heard the sound, and happened to see the hideous and huge dragon head of the poisonous dragon, and he was immediately frightened, and pointed at the poisonous dragon in disbelief, and was stunned for a long time before saying a word.

"Yes, this evil dragon has survived for at least 400 years, and has been mutilating fishing boats and people for a long time. Standing on the royal gift luan, turning his head to face the rising sun, Li Li opened his eyes and said nonsense, and made a generous statement.

"Bang, bang, bang!" Just as Li Li was talking about the experience of slaying the dragon, more than a dozen timid officials stopped and turned their heads to see the true body of the poisonous dragon, and immediately collapsed to the ground in fright, then rolled their eyes and passed out. In addition, there were dozens of white and chubby officials who trembled with fright, and the hem of their wide official uniforms rattled, leaving their respective footprints on the dry and flat official road.

And this qiē is all presented in the eyes of tens of thousands of people, and all living beings are in the bottom of their eyes.

However, Li Li did not order the convoy to stop, Luan drove the way, and the oversized carriage carrying the poisonous dragon also slowly moved forward. As a result, a group of civil and military officials who were so frightened that their legs were weak saw that the poisonous dragon was approaching step by step, and suddenly burst out of their physical potential, turned their heads and quickly followed Luan, if it weren't for the accompanying armor soldiers, I am afraid they would have overtaken Luan and ran towards Chang'an City in a panic.

Then, as the brigade slowly moved forward, there were more and more people on both sides of the official road, and many people were still reluctant to leave after seeing the poisonous dragon, so they followed the car and drove towards the east gate of Chang'an.

"Ah———hh

With the exclamations of tens of thousands of people one after another, Liu Xie, the young son of heaven who stood on the city tower and watched, finally saw the huge poisonous dragon. Suddenly, his whole body trembled, and he turned his head and ran, shouting as he ran: "Help———! ”

It's a pity that Liu Xie couldn't escape from the city tower in the end, and was carried down the city tower by several armor soldiers, standing tremblingly at the city gate, welcoming Li Li's approaching Luan.

This scene is not the scene that Li Dao explained before, according to the previous plan, Liu Xie, the son of heaven, only needs to stand in the city tower and greet him, and he does not need to go out of the city to greet him in person. However, when the Jinyi guards on the city tower saw that Liu Xie was about to run, they took advantage of the situation to carry him to the city gate and greeted Li Li's car with trepidation.
