Chapter 311: Revealing Strength

Hearing his own name, Lü Bu was overjoyed. He hurriedly stepped out, cupped his hands, and said respectfully: "This subordinate obeys the decree and will definitely sweep Liangzhou for Your Majesty."

"At the same time, notify Zhang Liao, who is stationed in Chang'an, to send troops to capture Bingzhou."

"Beloved subject Cao will lead 20,000 of the Xiyuan Eight Captains to cooperate with Lü Bu. As for Luoyang, it will be guarded by Yuan Shao's 50,000 Yulin Army,"

"Beloved subject Yuan, the heavy responsibility of guarding Luoyang is handed to you!"

"This subordinate obeys the decree. Your subject will definitely guard Luoyang well for Your Majesty!" Yuan Shao immediately said to Liu Bian with a solemn face.

"For this expedition, I will lead the army in person."

After arranging the tasks for everyone, Liu Bian said solemnly to the people below.

"What? Your Majesty, this must not be! Your Majesty is the body of an Emperor; how can you put yourself in danger? This old subject absolutely disagrees!"

"Indeed, Your Majesty."

Hearing that Liu Bian wanted to lead the army in person, the Grand Tutor Yuan Kui immediately jumped out to oppose it.

The officials below also opposed it one after another.

"Beloved subjects, aren't you just worried about my safety? You must know that I am different from other Emperors. With my Innate realm strength, in this world, who else is my opponent?"

Liu Bian looked at the worried and anxious expressions of the crowd and said loudly and dominantly.

"That still won't do. On the battlefield, swords and spears have no eyes. If Your Majesty's dragon body is injured, then your subjects will not be able to redeem their crimes even if they die ten thousand times."

Hearing Liu Bian's explanation, the officials still didn't agree to Liu Bian leading the army in person. It was not easy for the Han Dynasty to produce a wise ruler like Liu Bian who could turn the tide, and they didn't want any accidents to happen to Liu Bian.

"Hehehe, beloved subjects are worried about my safety; I am very gratified." Regarding the concern of the officials, Liu Bian was very satisfied in his heart.

"Since beloved subjects are worried, then I will show you my strength."

Seeing that the crowd still wouldn't let go, Liu Bian wanted to show them a bit of his strength.

With a movement of his mind, Liu Bian suddenly had a set of purple-gold armor that was extremely noble and coiled with a majestic and domineering nine-clawed golden dragon, and in his hand was a noble and gorgeous treasure sword. This was the Emperor Sword and Emperor Armor that Liu Bian had obtained.

This was the first time Liu Bian had used the Emperor Armor. Ever since he obtained it, it had been dormant in Liu Bian's dantian.

Subsequently, he mobilized the Innate True Qi within his dantian and circulated the Supreme Emperor Art: "Golden Dragon Protects the Body."

"Roar..."

A high-pitched dragon roar resounded through the hall. Subsequently, everyone saw a golden light shield appear around Liu Bian. On the surface of the light shield, a purple-gold nine-clawed golden dragon, five or six zhang long, with scales shimmering with cold light, majestic and solemn, was winding and circling.

"Hiss..."

Seeing this shocking scene, the officials below were all shocked and fell into a daze.

This majestic and domineering scene of Liu Bian, let alone in an era of feudal thought like the end of the Han Dynasty, even if it were in an urban society, would be quite an explosive existence!

"Your Majesty's divine might, your subject submits!"

It was Cao Cao, who had a strong mentality, who was the first to wake up, and immediately stared at Liu Bian with a face full of fanaticism.

Hearing Cao Cao's voice, everyone also came back to their senses. Looking at Liu Bian, their eyes were fiery, and they shouted excitedly: "Your Majesty's divine might covers the world, your subjects submit!"

Seeing the fiery eyes of the officials, Liu Bian felt a chill in his heart. "These people wouldn't have any special hobbies, would they!" Thinking of this, he immediately shuddered.

"Now, beloved subjects can stop worrying about my safety, right! With my strength, even if I stand there, they won't be able to break my defense." Putting away the armor and withdrawing the protective True Qi, Liu Bian looked at the crowd with a smile.

"Your Majesty's strength reaches the heavens. It was your subject who was reckless. Your subject will no longer block Your Majesty." Yuan Kui said to Liu Bian with an embarrassed face.

"Your subjects agree to Your Majesty leading the army in person." The officials also no longer opposed it.

"Good, then it is settled. Two days later, we will point generals on the battlefield and set out." Liu Bian immediately said to the crowd.

"Understood!"

"Old beloved subject Wang, have the equipment for the Xiliang Army been sent?" Remembering the Three Treasures of the Horse for the Xiliang Army, Liu Bian asked Wang Yun.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the 30,000 sets of equipment for the Xiliang Army were arranged by your subject to be sent to General Lü Bu five days ago." Wang Yun said respectfully to Liu Bian.

"Good, beloved subject, you have worked hard. The subsequent manufacturing must also be hurried." Liu Bian reminded Wang Yun.

Hearing Liu Bian's words, Wang Yun hurriedly responded: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, your subject will keep an eye on this aspect."

Liu Bian nodded with satisfaction.

"For this expedition, Jia Xu and Guo Jia will go with me, while Xun Yu, Yuan Kui, and Yang Biao will be responsible for supervising the country."

Liu Bian swept his gaze over the few people and said to them with a serious tone.

"Your subjects obey the decree and will definitely not fail Your Majesty's trust!" After hearing Liu Bian's words, the few people immediately straightened their bodies, their faces full of solemnity and determination.

Their voices were neat and loud, full of loyalty and determination. In everyone's eyes, a look of firmness was revealed.

"Good, with the three beloved subjects handling affairs, I am very at ease. Then for the period I am on the expedition, the Great Han Empire will be handed over to you. You others must cooperate well with the three beloved subjects. I hope you don't let me down!"

Liu Bian stood before the dragon throne on the high platform. His posture was tall and majestic, like an immovable mountain. His gaze scanned every official in the court, as if he wanted to see their deep-seated loyalty and responsibility through their eyes.

"Your subjects obey the decree and will definitely cooperate well with the three lords, and will definitely not fail Your Majesty's trust!"

The officials knelt down one after another and responded in unison. Their voices resounded through the entire court like a thunderclap. Every official's face was filled with firmness and determination; they were willing to guard this country together with Liu Bian and strive for its prosperity and peace.

"Good, beloved subjects are all officials loyal to me, and all officials loyal to our Great Han Empire!"

"Every one of you is a pillar of our Great Han Empire. With your assistance, I believe we can definitely create a glorious and powerful prosperous age, making the people of our Great Han Empire like dragons!"

Liu Bian looked at the firmness in everyone's eyes. He said with a solemn expression and a serious face.

"Your subjects will definitely go through fire and water for Your Majesty and for the Han."

The officials knelt down one after another and shouted in unison.

"Now that government affairs are finished, let's talk about what realm you have all cultivated to in the past month?" After arranging government affairs, Liu Bian asked about everyone's cultivation situation again.

"Let the civil officials speak first!"

"Oh, by the way, those over thirty years old don't need to report first. It's not bad that you can cultivate among yourselves. In twenty-something days, there won't be much progress!" After Liu Bian finished speaking to the row of civil officials, he added a reminder.

"Your Majesty, then let your humble subject speak first. After twenty-something days of cultivation, your subject has successfully broken through to the Tongsheng Second Heaven realm."

Seeing that everyone standing in front of him was over thirty years old, Xun Yu immediately stepped out and reported his cultivation results to Liu Bian respectfully. ===== CHAPTER 312 =====
