Liu Bei and Youzhou's "White Wave Taiping Army" had arrived only one step away from Luoyang, but they were unable to "act as planned."
There was no other reason than that the situation in Luoyang at this time exceeded his estimate of the worst-case scenario.
According to the content of the "Edict", the emperor at this time should be under the control of the ten permanent ministers and the queen, and the courtiers must be dissatisfied with this situation. By then, he can rely on his teacher's face to gain the support of the courtiers, and
The Sword Master will not be an enemy of himself who possesses the edict. When the time comes, he will let the Baibo Army raid the Shi Changshi, and he can take the opportunity to rescue the emperor.
But now, the Shi Changshi no longer exists? Was he crippled by the courtiers and then took refuge with the queen? Lu Bu ran thousands of miles and killed from Liangzhou to Luoyang?
This is troublesome. This group of Baibo troops dared to attack the palace because they hated the Shichangshi and wanted to kill them quickly. But if they were to confront Lu Bu? The soldiers would collapse as soon as they gave the order.
Hmm...Baima Yicong and Baierbing probably won't, but those "Taipingdao" ones might not.
With no choice, Liu Bei had no choice but to let Yang Feng and Mrs. Guo come to ask for advice and let them camp on the spot by the Luoshui River to wait and see what would happen.
What specific changes are we waiting for? It will probably be the winner between the Sword Master and Lu Bu...
At this time, Liu Bei very much hoped that someone with enough wisdom would tell him "what to do" instead of looking at him with expectation and trust, waiting for him to make a decision.
This does not mean that Liu Bei thinks that he has no wisdom. If that were the case, Lu Zhi, as a contemporary great scholar, would not be able to accept him as a disciple, and he would not be able to create such a big scene in Youzhou.
For example, when passing by Julu before, Gao Lan reported that he found a person who tried to read the "Edict on Clothes and Belts", but was knocked unconscious by the other party with a few moves. However, the man did not take away the edict on clothes and belts.
No relevant special events occurred.
Liu Bei concluded at that time that Julu Taiping Road already knew his origins, and those who joined the team "voluntarily" were not so voluntary. He further concluded that those who knocked Gao Lan out were probably
It was Zhao Yun who had a close relationship with Taiping Dao.
Therefore, after the purpose of deliberately placing the Clothing and Belt Order separately was achieved, Liu Bei put away the "Clothing and Belt Order" and carried it with him.
Now is not the time to brag. Liu Bei shook his head and turned his attention to Luoyang and Luoshui in front of him.
"It is said that 'Luo Shen' is the daughter of Fu Xi, beautiful and intelligent. If she were here now, she might be able to answer my doubts at this time." Liu Bei said casually to himself.
!!!
After these words were spoken, Liu Bei felt a strange experience that he had never experienced before from the "Bodhisattva Wooden Sculpture" hanging around his neck. If he was usually affected by the goodwill of others, the woodcarving would convey to him "
"Warmth", and now, this wooden sculpture is taking the "warmth" away from him.
Since Liu Bei had been wearing the wooden carving for many years and had given it enough trust, he was just a little surprised that it would recycle it instead of throwing it away in a panic.
This feeling of "extraction" continued until Liu Bei began to tremble involuntarily and white mist came out of his breath.
Then, he heard the sound of water like a rising tide, and then saw the water surface of Luoshui in front of him begin to rotate and swell, and in a very short period of time, it formed a stream of water that was two feet high, shimmering, and crystal clear.
Waterspout".
Splash sand——
The "waterspout" turned into scattered water foam and disappeared in an instant, and where it originally rotated, a girl with a delicate figure, long blond hair, and green eyes, about fifteen or sixteen years old, appeared.
Wearing a pure white light armor with red edges, a bright red skirt and armor underneath, wearing long boots with the same white sole and red edges, holding a red thin sword, the whole person is suspended on the water, and at this moment, he is using a slightly bright red sword.
Liu Bei looked at him impatiently:
"[Are you summoning the 'Lo God'?]"
————
The camp of the "White Wave Taiping Army" was a little noisy as usual.
"I want to wear General Gao's clothes. Who can imitate them?"
"Look, I've learned the magic!"
"Beat Lu Bu, I can brag about this in the underworld for five hundred years..."
"You idiot! Your posture is completely wrong! Didn't General Junyi watch carefully when he demonstrated it?"
"Miss Xiahou hasn't burned General Zhang for a long time. Is she feeling ill?"
"Look, isn't that Governor Liu? Did he fall into Luoshui? His whole body looks wet..."
Of course Liu Bei did not fall into Luoshui, he was just splashed with water by the "Luo Shen".
Previously, when the "Luo Shen" in the form of a young girl appeared, Liu Bei learned from her that it was the "power of faith" he had accumulated for several years to summon her from the "world of the dead" in the form of a "heroic spirit".
, Originally, she could follow Liu Bei for seven days, but because Liu Bei used qualifiers in the "summoning ceremony", she could only answer any of his questions on the spot, and would disappear directly after Liu Bei said "no other questions"
.
Naturally, Liu Bei would not miss this opportunity, so he asked "Luo Shen" about the situation in Luoyang at this time, how to break the situation, etc. The girl also explained it in detail and put forward several feasible plans.
Originally, this was supposed to be an ordinary story of "meeting immortals", where they met and parted ways. Through this encounter, Liu Bei gained huge political and military advantages, and so on.
But the problem is that when Liu Bei was communicating with the "Luo Shen", he was unexpectedly uneasy. Her appearance, voice, intonation, pauses in speech, occasional small movements of licking her fingers and combing her hair, and even staring at her when he didn't understand.
The look in her eyes made Liu Bei feel extremely cordial - yes, the cordiality that made him want to live with her.
So, after answering most of the questions, Liu Bei mustered up the courage to ask: "Is there any way I can make you stay and be my wife?"
"[You're a slut! I'm only three years old!]" After leaving these words, "Luo Shen" disappeared in a flash.
By the way, Liu Bei was splashed with water.
————
"Brother? What happened to you? Did you throw yourself into the river?"
Zhang Fei asked with his eyes widened when he saw Liu Bei walking into the tent where he was staying wet.
Although he missed the mark, he was not far off.
"It's nothing, it's just an accident." Liu Bei would not explain to his third brother that he actually failed to strike up a conversation: "Yide, you go and invite General Zhang He and General Gao Lan to discuss the matter. We have to take action."
"Okay~" Zhang Fei didn't ask any further questions, and casually handed the rabbit back to Xiahou Ji who was sitting obediently beside him, and walked straight out of the tent: "I'm going to be free to grow mushrooms."
Wait? Liu Bei couldn't stop him in time and watched helplessly as the little girl in black skirt caught the rabbit gave him a dangerous smile.
"Sniff, sniff~" Xia Houji approached Liu Bei holding the rabbit, circled it twice, her nose twitching: "The smell of a certain fairy, although it will not bother the husband, it is also very annoying."
If she was calling "Luo Shen"... In a sense, was she right? Liu Bei was slightly surprised, and quickly recalled the things Xiahou Ji had said about the "fairy world".
"Hmph~" Xiahouji raised her rabbit: "Disappear~Zhang Yunhua~"
Doesn’t this even have a name?
Liu Bei froze without moving, and then he saw the puppet rabbit's body ignited with dark flames, and its heat began to evaporate the water on his body.
He originally thought this was unnecessary, but he soon discovered that his clothes contained more water than expected. If judged according to common sense, they were enough to soak through more than a dozen ordinary clothes.
"Humph~" After Liu Bei's black clothes were completely dried, Xiahouji took back the rabbit: "It's okay if she wants to teach you a lesson, but she can't make your husband's tent wet."
"Brother! I sent the two generals... uh, sorry." Zhang Fei opened the door curtain and found that the tent was filled with dense air.
"It doesn't matter, this is not much different from those soldiers who tried the 'Fu Shui Spell'," Liu Bei waved away some of the fog, and found a place to sit in the tent: "I just got some information, and I need the cooperation of a few people."
"We originally came here to assist Governor Liu." Zhang He and Gao Lan followed Zhang Fei into the tent one after the other. Zhang He slightly frowned at the fog, while Gao Lan didn't care and even enjoyed it.
"As for the source of the intelligence, it is not convenient for Bei to explain at the moment," Liu Bei said: "What is known so far is that Liangzhou Lu Bu has essentially controlled Luoyang, and Liangzhou's large army is coming from behind, and Qingzhou Cao Cao has also arrived at Sishui Pass
.”
"So... we should rescue the emperor as soon as possible?" Gao Lan said: "If you need to sneak in secretly, I will be obliged to do so."
"No, with the Sword Master here, Lu Bu cannot break through Xiyuan for the time being. We should delay the arrival of the rest of the Liangzhou army at this time, so that Lu Bu dare not act rashly due to lack of background." Liu Bei pointed to the west: "Even if he uses force on his own
If he wants to do something, the rest of the vanguard will stop him."
"Go and fight Dong Zhuo?" Zhang Fei scratched his head: "Isn't it about the same difficulty? But if you have already decided, brother."
"Yide's courage is commendable, but he guessed wrong," Liu Bei said: "At this time, most of the Liangzhou army generals followed Lu Bu as vanguards, and half of Dong Zhuo's troops were defected to the 'Liangzhou Taiping Road'
, if our "Youzhou Taiping Road" expresses that we have something to discuss, or even intend to surrender, then Dong Zhuo will suspend his advance and prepare for a meeting between the two parties."
"And we took the opportunity to enter Luoyang to rescue the emperor," Gao Lan said: "Since we have the 'Edict' in hand, the Sword Master will cooperate with us to contain Lu Bu - this is a very good plan."
"Although not gorgeous enough, 'Butterfly in Flowers' is also beautiful~" Zhang He sighed for unknown reasons.
"In addition," Liu Bei said, "I also learned that a wise man is leaving Luoyang with his family to avoid chaos. During the operation, we should find an opportunity to 'invite' him."
"Oh..." Zhang Fei asked: "Can I use a rope to 'please'?"
"I want to use fire~" Xiahou Ji raised the rabbit.
