Chapter 0291: Opening of the Sealing God

In the dim and vast land, shrouded in mist, the wind howled, and in the distance, the shadows of the dark forest carried an ominous aura. A heroic soul fell straight down, struggling with its eyes closed, wielding a halberd and dancing, fighting against the enemy.

A voice came from the mist, 'Fellow Taoist, please take a step.'.

L ü Bu suddenly opened his tiger eyes and said, "Big Ear Thief, give me back my life -

What's the point of this? "The Taoist on horseback appeared again, sighing and waving his hand. The heroic spirit resisted very much, but was ultimately defeated. He put it in his sleeve and said," My junior sister has passed on the Heavenly Secret and will soon open the Investiture of the Gods. If I have to collect heroic souls to make it to the list, you will be the first person to do so

Looking back straight at Luoyang City, there is a fairy peach and jade pavilion, with small green light cocoons nurturing in the heart of the tree. The huge root system spreads out, forming a golden net that covers the underworld, straightening out the abnormal qi, enlightening the spiritual veins, and absorbing nutrients

Seemingly sensing a watchful gaze, a burst of green light stretched out, blurring the horizon, and the Taoist quickly avoided it.

This treasure is terrifying. It was planted four years ago and has become the core of this world. Currently, even I cannot get close to it. It is not something that immortals of the same level can do

Can the sage tolerate such heavenly means

A faint voice came over: 'There may be some ideas among them, so the leader of the Heavenly Sect is very suspicious... It is said that independence is difficult to support, how can it go against heaven? I suspect that it has compromised with the upper realm... What is the attitude of your master now?'

The Taoist was surprised and frowned, thinking to himself, "Master is refining a strange treasure called the Investiture List, to cut off the clan's veins and attract heroic souls to the list. I will follow my orders and there will be no mistakes. Does junior sister have any other thoughts

I am the host of congenital colored stones, and I have experienced great fortune. I am pregnant and have become a saint at this time. My body and the heavenly way of the lower earth are in harmony, and I can directly restore my immortal status, but I am burdened with the great fortune of overthrowing this dynasty... But to be honest, this green peach tree is one of them, and I have a palpitation

Caiwu transformed into a beautiful woman, holding a five colored stone and covering her entire body with an aura, revealing only a pair of beautiful eyes: "It involves the earth's veins. A single pull can move the whole body. This peach tree has a domain restriction that restricts the actions of real people and above. Unless it is designed to burn down, it is difficult to move a step

The Taoist said to her, 'Why isn't it extinguished?'

She refused, I couldn't suppress her... "The beauty smiled bitterly. Although this sage was only a demon immortal with the same longevity as heaven and earth, she had a deep connection with the human race in this world.

The Taoist furrowed his brow and said, "With two souls integrated with the indigenous people, the fusion period has not ended yet

Don't worry, it's about to end... "The beauty's eyes were slightly hazy, but she didn't know who would win or lose in the end.

She burst out laughing and said, "Senior brother, it's been so many years, aren't you saying something

Ah

Not to mention it anymore, I'm afraid it's too late... "She lowered her eyes and waited calmly for a while without saying a word.

The Taoist stared at her, about to say something, feeling a palpitation.

I saw the mist dissipate from her lower body, and a blue patch appeared below her waist, revealing a round and upright snake body.

N ü wa! "The Taoist's heart was empty, and he suddenly felt that something had happened. He lost his voice and urgently asked," Where is your junior sister

N ü wa stared at him, her eyes cold and hot. She let out a slight sigh and didn't make a move. With a flick of her blue snake tail, she disappeared into the void.

Luoyang.

The North Palace, Deyang Hall, and the main living hall of Emperor Han are magnificent and continuous, but the once glorious lights are now somewhat dim.

Empress Dowager He, dressed in a phoenix robe, put down her secret letter and looked a bit dazed: "Did Liu Bei really kill a thousand soldiers of Xiliang overnight

Empress Dowager, many people have seen it, "the next maid replied.

Did you kill Dong Zhuoyi's son Lu Bu? "Empress Dowager He stared at her.

The maid hesitated a bit and said, "I heard it is

Empress Dowager He sighed slightly. She was a palace maid with limited knowledge, far inferior to the ten eunuchs who used it with ease. Since returning to the palace that night, the north and south palaces had become so unfamiliar.

Many palaces were burned down, and many old people were absent. As Yuan Shao was not in a hurry to distinguish whether they were eunuchs or not, he ordered soldiers to kill all the men who looked pale and did not need help. Palace maids were also heavily abused by the chaotic soldiers, and even several former imperial concubines were panicked and fled in all directions

If it weren't for the arrival of the great scholar Lu Zhi with his spear and his rescue of her from the elevated corridor between the North and South Palaces, she would have inevitably encountered military robbery when she was kidnapped by eunuchs and fled north.

Yuan Shao, rebel! Dare to disrupt the palace! "She gritted her silver teeth, thought for a moment, and couldn't help but exclaim in hatred," This Dong Zhuo is also a great rebel, even thinking of abolishing the throne

Mother, be careful with your words, be careful with your words... "The young emperor listened from behind and his face turned pale. After a while, he whispered again," Actually, my younger brother came to do it

Empress Dowager He was startled, her phoenix eyebrows slightly raised, and she stopped speaking: "Don't talk nonsense, what do you know? This rebel is better controlled because your younger brother is young. My son must not be discouraged. You are the hope for my mother, the hope for the people of the Han Dynasty

The young emperor nodded. Being a prince of the Han family is extremely risky, and he has always understood the tricks of powerful officials since childhood.

Empress Dowager He didn't say much and summoned a few surviving eunuchs to start writing edicts.

A deep sense of crisis lingers in my heart. If I wait for Dong Zhuo to do this thing of abolishing the throne, I can still keep her as the empress dowager. I'm afraid it's like a white wine or a cup of poisoned wine. Such things are rare in the palace?

It's despicable that none of the Three Excellencies and Nine Ministers can be relied upon, they are all useless... "He used a jade seal and asked," Who among you has seen Liu Bei

These eunuchs were originally from the small Yellow Gate. They had to rank after reaching the top 100 in the palace, and all the eunuchs in front of them had died before they were promoted. They didn't dare to say much for a moment, just shook their heads.

Empress Dowager He was a clever woman who knew the situation at a glance, furrowed her brows secretly, and cursed Yuan Shao and even his deceased brother. She wholeheartedly supported her beloved son to the throne, only to realize that she had borrowed too much power, and these relatives were already enemies of the emperor.

Never mind, what you said is right. Only the Liu family can be reliable at this time... Just follow this order and transfer the Cavalry Captain Liu Bei to the position of General of the Imperial Guards, with a rank of two thousand stones and three thousand soldiers in charge of the Northern Palace Forbidden Army. Order him to return to Luoyang immediately

The Empress Dowager calmly said, "Liu Biao, the Marquis of the Northern Army, is not good at supervising the Fifth Battalion of the Northern Army. He has been transferred to the position of Colonel of Shooting Sound, and County Captain Zhang Liao has been transferred to the position of Infantry Colonel

The young emperor listened quietly. The Northern Army consisted of five battalions: Tunqi, Yueqi, Infantry, Changshui, and Shesheng. They were stationed at eight passes around Luoyang, including Hangu, Guangcheng, Yique, Dagu, Yuan, Xuanmen, Xiaoping, and Mengjin.

Due to the merger of the Changshui Camp with the former Han Hu Cavalry Camp, which reached 1500 people, and the retention of 700 garrison cavalry, these two major cavalry camps mostly used Hu cavalry. Therefore, the former Xiongnu were gentle and there was no need to worry. Since the Han Dynasty drove out the Northern Xiongnu and the Leshi Yanran Mountain, they almost regarded themselves as Han people, but now they are serving Dong Zhuo and are in danger of being influenced by Qiang culture.

The Yue Cavalry Camp had seven hundred Han family sons, and it is said that the generals were infiltrated and controlled by Dong Zhuo. Only infantry and archers recruited from the Third Assistant were present, and they fought fiercely against the Qiang people for years, with deep hatred like the sea and relative loyalty... Unfortunately, the number of soldiers was too small, with seven hundred each in the two camps, totaling 1400, which was not enough to match the soldiers of the Changshui First Battalion. The Han family's emphasis on cavalry was evident at this time.

The Shao Emperor inherited the imperial tradition since Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu. He was skilled in literature, poetry, and had a gentle personality. Therefore, he was not considered the best heir by his father. However, he was not stupid and understood that it was a matter of rising and falling, so both the city and the city were decorated. His mother went to great lengths to protect this family.

There is always a sense of unease in my heart. Thinking of Liu Bei's farewell words, I said, "Mother, I have met Liu Bei

Mmm? "Empress Dowager He looked back at her son.

On the day he bid farewell, I solemnly said... "The young emperor hesitated in his mother's hopeful gaze, but still tried to recall," I would like to thank Your Majesty for your kindness. After resigning, I only hope Your Majesty will take care of me... If there is anything, please feel free to summon me, and I will do whatever it takes

Empress Dowager He listened in a daze, a kind of spiritual light flashed, and she calmed down: "Bring me a map

What map? "The eunuch asked.

The capital, Sanfu, and Hongnong commanderies... "she said solemnly, all of whom were close to the Sili. After thinking for a moment, this area did not leave Hulao Pass and was directly suppressed by Dong Zhuo. It was feared that it would be destroyed in a short time without any effect of attracting reinforcements. She added," Sanhe refers to Hedong commandery, Hanoi commandery, Henan commandery, as well as Yingchuan commandery, Chaoge commandery, and Chenliu commandery

Isn't Chen Liu the enfeoffment of his younger brother? "The young emperor laughed. Chen Liu had changed from a county to a country during his father's time, and now his younger brother Liu Xie was the king of Chen Liu.

There's no need to take the map of Chenliu Kingdom, "Empress Dowager He frowned, flashed past her nominal son, and felt a wave of disgust. Looking back, she scolded her own son," The emperor shouldn't be frivolous, he's being looked down upon

Seeing her son's meekness, she let out a deep sigh, thought for a moment, and then asked the eunuch, "Dongjun... Do you remember Colonel Cao Cao, who served as the governor of Dongjun

Empress Dowager, indeed

Dongjun... it's still too far, let's forget about it, it's only close. Find me another complete map of the Han family... "The eunuchs rushed around, and Empress Dowager He felt slightly relieved.

Although Dong Zhuo absorbed most of the Northern Army, his power expanded rapidly, and his cavalry had a great advantage. He was supported by the Southern Army divided between literati and heroes, as well as three thousand guards of the Han Palace. Although he was unable to fight without going into battle, his legitimate military force prevented Dong Zhuo's power from completely infiltrating the palace. With the imperial seal in hand, she was the undisputed woman in this Han Palace.

Empress Dowager, this is a map. "The eunuch spread out small pictures on several tables and hung the entire map of the Han family on the wall.

She took the lamp and wandered under the wall, looking at the unfolded map for a long time. Rubbing her sore eyes, she pointed to a spot on the wall and said, "Let's change Liu Bei's tune here

The onion and white jade pointed to the place where it fell, highlighting the three characters of Yingchuan Commandery. In the dim yellow light of the lamps and candles, it extended downwards, including Nanyang Commandery, Jiangxia Commandery, Xiangyang Commandery, Changsha Commandery... The western part of Yuzhou and the entire territory of Jingzhou were displayed in front of us. The vast Jianghan Plain was the forefront of Chinese infiltration into the south, and it was once the land opened up by the emperors of Zheng and Chu in the Spring and Autumn Period, achieving hegemony successively.

The eunuch held the imperial edict in his hand, stood in the shadow of the light, looked through it with his feet, and confirmed, "Yingchuan County

It's Yingchuan, "Empress Dowager He said wearily. In fact, there are two places outside the Hulao Pass where Chenliu Kingdom can choose, but if Liu Bei is appointed as the prime minister and manages for a long time, it will establish a connection with King Chenliu, which is not auspicious... but setting up a county is different.

Is it a job transfer

Empress Dowager He glanced at her and said, "As the prefect, with a rank of two thousand stones, the mourning family now has no power at all. Or should we demote this loyal and rebellious minister to the rank of six hundred stone county magistrate

This... "The eunuch sweated and thought to himself that it was not a demotion.

Since Emperor Hanhe and below, eunuchs in the palace have undergone political training and learned that since Guangwu, only two thousand stone commander-in-chief officers have been appointed to handle military affairs in border counties, and no commander-in-chief officers have been appointed in inland counties. The army is directly led by the prefect, and if they want to be transferred, they can only be the prefect of Yingchuan County, not the prefect of Yingchuan County.

How can we follow the rules and not ask clearly?

Zhang let these loyal imperial followers all throw themselves into the river. If they were not cautious enough to protect themselves, they would have sacrificed themselves for some reason one day

The reason is that when a woman gets angry, it's unreasonable. Seeing this eunuch being cautious and cautious, she becomes angry and says, "When you were all arrogant, you dared to harm even the Grand General, but now you're like this

After a moment of turmoil, the young emperor finally reminded him that if he didn't send someone to catch up with Liu Bei, he might not be able to catch up. That's why He Tai passed on this decree.
