Chapter 180: Liu Bian's Response

Seeing the two of them so excited, Liu Bian and the others also understood a little.

"The two ministers need not be like this; I have my own plans!"

After the two heard Liu Bian's words, they raised their heads and said to Liu Bian:

"Thank you, Your Majesty; it was this old minister who was reckless!"

After the two finished speaking, they retreated to the side again.

Regarding Gongsun Zan's rebellion, Liu Bian was not too worried.

Nowadays, he had a million armored soldiers under his command; how could he worry about a mere Gongsun Zan.

In history, this fellow was rubbed into the ground by Yuan Shao.

And Yuan Shao was rubbed into the ground by Cao Cao.

And these two people who had rubbed Gongsun Zan into the ground were now both under his command.

As for other people who could rub Gongsun Zan into the ground, there were even more.

Any one of the six legions pulled out would be enough to hammer Gongsun Zan into the ground!

At this time, Liu Bian looked at the crowd and said slowly:

"Lelang Commandery no longer has any need for support; the newly appointed Inspector of Youzhou, Shen Pei, has already arrived at Zhuojun, and the defender of Youzhou, the General Who Crushes the Wuhuan, Yan Rou, has already gathered fifty thousand troops in Ji County."

"I have already told Tai'a to send a message to Shen Pei and Yan Rou; Yan Rou will wait for Shen Pei in Ji County."

"At that time, after the two rendezvous, they will go together to Youbeiping to defend against Gongsun Zan's attack."

Liu Bian slowly explained his arrangements to the crowd.

And following Liu Bian's words, Lü Bu was the first to step out, bow to Liu Bian, and say loudly:

"Reporting to Your Majesty, this end general requests to fight!"

After the others saw this scene, the commanders of the other five legions also reacted after the fact.

At the same time, the few of them also cursed Lü Bu in their hearts; with this reaction, who said Lü Bu was simple-minded!

Seeing the other five legion commanders also mimic Lü Bu's actions, bowing to Liu Bian and shouting in unison:

"Reporting to Your Majesty, this end general requests to fight!"

And after seeing the actions of Zhao Yun and the other five, he couldn't help but curse in his heart:

"What a bunch of old foxes!"

Liu Bian, after seeing the actions of the six, nodded in satisfaction.

"As expected of my six Grand Generals of the Han Empire, but a mere Gongsun Zan is not worth the mobilization of all six of my legions!"

Liu Bian suddenly stood up and said to the six with authority.

Subsequently, he first told the six to rise, then asked Guo Jia:

"Fengxiao, this time I intend to have you accompany the army as a military advisor; which general do you think is suitable to go?"

In the original history, Guo Jia was sickly due to long-term drinking and taking Five Minerals Powder.

Moreover, he died young, but now, because of cultivating the Literary Dao technique, his divine body had long been strengthened.

Now, everyone's body was particularly good in all aspects, and if their cultivation reached the Innate Realm or their Literary Dao cultivation reached the Scholar rank, their lifespan could even reach as high as two hundred years.

After Guo Jia heard this, he responded to Liu Bian with a face full of confidence:

"This humble subject obeys the decree; please rest assured, Your Majesty, this humble subject will certainly cooperate with the generals to suppress Gongsun Zan's rebellion in Youzhou!"

"As for the legion to go on the expedition to Youzhou, please let Your Majesty decide; nowadays, among the six legions of our Han Empire, the Shenwu Legion is the most powerful."

"And although the other five Divine Beast Legions have only just been formed, their strength is also much stronger than the soldiers under Gongsun Zan."

"This humble subject has even heard that the soldiers have all begun to cultivate and are about to reach the strength of Third-rate Martial Generals!"

Guo Jia did not give a clear suggestion on which legion to recommend to send troops, but just explained the situation of the major legions to everyone.

One must know that for these six legions, it was inappropriate to send anyone, so it was better to throw this hot potato to Liu Bian.

Seeing this, Liu Bian also shook his head at Guo Jia and scolded with a smile:

"You, Guo Fengxiao, your Taiji is quite smooth!"

It was just that Guo Jia and the others were a bit confused after hearing this; Guo Jia asked Liu Bian with confusion:

"Your Majesty, this humble subject knows about Taiji, but I don't know how to play Taiji!"

And following Guo Jia's words, the others also looked at Liu Bian with curiosity.

Seeing this, Liu Bian was also speechless; this is what happens, people of this period don't know the meaning of "playing Taiji" yet!

Immediately, he explained to the crowd what "playing Taiji" meant.

Subsequently, Liu Bian said to the crowd seriously:

"Since none of you are willing to say which legion should go, then I will name one."

Liu Bian swept his gaze over the commanders of the six legions.

And after feeling Liu Bian's gaze, the six of them all stood straight and looked at Liu Bian with anticipation.

Liu Bian's gaze suddenly stopped on Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

"Guan Yu, take orders!"

Liu Bian looked at Guan Yu with sharp eyes and shouted with authority.

And Guan Yu, upon hearing Liu Bian's voice, was also startled, then overjoyed, and immediately responded loudly and solemnly with clasped fists:

"This end general is here!"

"I consider that Youzhou is Yide's hometown, and Yide is a general in your Qinglong Army, and you two are sworn brothers, so it is only right to send troops to pacify the chaos in Youzhou."

"I order you to lead one hundred thousand Qinglong Army soldiers on an expedition to Youzhou!"

A mere Gongsun Zan did not require Liu Bian to mobilize the entire two hundred thousand Qinglong Army.

With Guan Yu leading one hundred thousand Qinglong Army, plus Zhang Fei, Guo Jia, and the others, such a luxurious lineup to pacify a mere Gongsun Zan would be easy and effortless.

"This end general accepts the decree; this subject will certainly pacify the rebellion in Youzhou within one month, otherwise I will submit to Your Majesty's disposal!"

Guan Yu responded with determination, which was equivalent to setting a military pledge for himself.

"Since that is the case, then the pacification of the rebellion in Youzhou is left to you, Yunchang and Fengxiao!"

Seeing this, Liu Bian also readily agreed; with the combat power of Guan Yu's Qinglong Legion, it was not impossible to pacify Gongsun Zan within a month.

And Guan Yu and Guo Jia both replied to Liu Bian with determination:

"This subject (this end general) will certainly not fail Your Majesty's trust!"

Seeing this, Liu Bian nodded in satisfaction.

Subsequently, he said to Guan Yu again:

"In order for you to pacify the rebellion in Youzhou within a month, I will help you!"

After Liu Bian finished speaking, he waved his hand at the commanders of the six legions.

Countless Spirit Stone Fragments appeared before the six of them.

"These are the Spirit Stone Fragments I have prepared for the soldiers of your six legions; now, it is just right to hand them to you all together."

Liu Bian looked at the Spirit Stone Fragments before him and said solemnly to the six.

This time, Liu Bian gritted his teeth and exchanged for enough Spirit Stone Fragments for everyone in the six legions to use.

This was a full one million two hundred thousand pieces, costing Liu Bian one hundred and twenty thousand National Fortune Points.

Up to this point, Liu Bian's National Fortune Points only had over forty thousand left. ===== CHAPTER 181 =====
