Chapter 315: Pointing Generals on the Battlefield

At the entrance of the Xiliang Army camp west of the city, early in the morning, several high-level officials of the Xiliang Army were standing at the entrance, looking as if they were waiting for some important person.

The leader was none other than Lü Bu and Cao Cao, who were on this expedition.

As early as yesterday, Cao Cao had brought the 20,000 troops under his command, and today, they were all waiting for Liu Bian's arrival.

A while later, Liu Bian and his party appeared at the camp entrance, and Lü Bu and the others hurriedly greeted them.

"This subordinate (subject), Lü Bu, Cao Cao, Chen Gong, pay respects to Your Majesty!" Lü Bu, Cao Cao, and Chen Gong saw Liu Bian and the others and hurriedly stepped forward to pay respects.

"This subordinate pays respects to Your Majesty!"

The people behind, seeing the actions of Lü Bu and the three, immediately knew that this young man with extraordinary temperament, handsome appearance, and emitting an aura of an Emperor was the Emperor of the Great Han Empire.

Therefore, they cupped their hands and saluted one after another, shouting loudly.

"Generals, no need for such formalities. All rise!"

Liu Bian turned over and dismounted, handed his mount to the soldiers behind him, and said to the crowd with a smile.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" After hearing Liu Bian's response, the crowd straightened their waists one after another.

"Mengde, you arrived quite early, didn't you? Why, are you afraid I won't let you go!"

Looking at the arriving Cao Cao, Liu Bian said playfully.

"Your Majesty is joking. Your subject has absolutely no such intention. I just thought about seeing Your Majesty early!"

After hearing Liu Bian's words, Cao Cao's old face turned red, and he defended himself.

"Haha, I didn't expect you, Cao Mengde, to actually flatter me too!"

After hearing Cao Cao's words, Liu Bian was immediately happy. Was this still the decisive Cao Cao in history?

"Your Majesty, what your subject said is all the truth!" Cao Cao defended himself immediately. That serious expression was really like the real thing...

"Alright, I won't tease you anymore. Let's enter the camp first!" After saying a few words to Cao Cao, he said to the crowd.

"Your Majesty, please enter the camp."

Lü Bu immediately stepped forward and made a gesture of invitation to Liu Bian, and then followed behind Liu Bian, walking toward the camp.

"Are the soldiers all gathered?" On the way, Liu Bian asked Lü Bu beside him.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, this subordinate has already gathered the soldiers, and they are already gathered on the drill ground!"

Hearing Liu Bian's inquiry, Lü Bu replied hurriedly.

"That's good. Then let's go directly to the drill ground. Don't let my soldiers wait too long!" Liu Bian immediately said to Lü Bu.

"This subordinate obeys the decree. Please follow this subordinate, Your Majesty." After hearing that Liu Bian wanted to go directly to the drill ground, Lü Bu immediately walked in front to lead the way, and the group headed straight for the drill ground.

From afar, everyone saw rows of neatly lined soldiers, holding long spears, standing solemnly on the drill ground, and that aura of killing and cutting came rushing toward them.

"Your Majesty, please ascend the platform!"

Below the high platform of the drill ground, Lü Bu said respectfully to Liu Bian.

Subsequently, Liu Bian walked toward the high platform with firm steps.

The soldiers below, seeing Liu Bian wearing the purple-gold Emperor Armor and hanging the Emperor Sword at his waist, although he was young, the aura of an Emperor emitted from his whole body deeply shocked everyone's hearts.

"Is this the Emperor of the Great Han Empire we are loyal to? He is truly powerful. Presumably, only such an Emperor can lead us to restore the Great Han!"

Looking at Liu Bian's majestic and solemn expression and the aura of an Emperor emitted from his whole body, every soldier was deeply shocked.

At this moment, they recognized Liu Bian's status, and looking at him, their eyes were full of awe and fanaticism.

Before long, Liu Bian stood on the high platform of the drill ground. He threw the cloak behind him dominantly, turned around, and looked at the 50,000 soldiers standing neatly below, holding long spears and long swords.

"Pay respects to Your Majesty!"

After seeing Liu Bian turn around, Lü Bu and the others who were standing in front of the soldiers immediately knelt on one knee, shouting loudly with fanaticism on their faces.

"Pay respects to Your Majesty!" Following the voice of Lü Bu and the others, all 50,000 soldiers knelt on one knee and shouted loudly.

That deafening sound made it feel as if the entire drill ground was trembling.

Liu Bian, standing on the high platform, looked at the soldiers kneeling on one knee below and felt his blood boiling.

Subsequently, he walked to the front of the high platform, stretched out his hands, and said to the crowd with majesty: "Soldiers, all rise!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Subsequently, another burst of loud shouts came, the sound neat and uniform, the momentum magnificent.

"Soldiers of our Great Han Empire, I am the Emperor of this Great Han Empire. Today, I will lead you to suppress the rebel party of Dong Zhuo."

Liu Bian stood on the high platform, wearing the Emperor Armor, with a purple-gold treasure sword hanging at his waist, which was the Emperor Armor and Emperor Sword rewarded by the system, facing the densely packed soldiers below with heroic spirit.

"Ever since Dong Zhuo and the others rebelled, the people of our Great Han Empire have all suffered from their oppression, causing the people in the three provinces of Sili, Liangzhou, and Bingzhou to live in misery."

Liu Bian had a solemn face, and his voice continued in a low tone: "Countless people have been displaced and left their homes, and how many have starved or died of illness in the process of exile."

His eyes revealed sympathy and pain for the people.

"Even, the people of our Great Han have appeared in situations of exchanging children to eat!"

Liu Bian's voice became passionate. His face was full of anger and intolerance, as if he could feel the pain suffered by the people.

"Now, although I have executed the ringleader Dong Zhuo and rescued the people of Sili, the two provinces of Liangzhou and Bingzhou are still under the control of his partisans. The people of the two provinces are still waiting for me to rescue them. You tell me, what should we do?"

Liu Bian had a solemn expression and looked at the 50,000 soldiers with neat military appearance below with killing intent, shouting loudly.

The 50,000 soldiers below listened quietly to Liu Bian's speech. Their gazes were firm and their faces were solemn.

When they heard Liu Bian mention the suffering of the people, a trace of grief and anger flashed in their eyes.

At this moment, hearing Liu Bian's inquiry, the 50,000 soldiers shouted in unison: "Willing to follow Your Majesty on the expedition to rescue the people! Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Their shouts resounded through the clouds, expressing their determination to follow Liu Bian on the expedition.

The 50,000 soldiers were in high spirits, ready to fight for the interests of the country and the people.

Liu Bian nodded with satisfaction. He knew that these soldiers were all loyal and brave people, and they would become an important force for him to conquer the world.

"Good, everyone should know that there is a country before there is a home. If our Great Han Empire is powerful, then would these people still dare to rebel, still dare to oppress the people?"

"No! No! No!" The blood of the crowd was all stirred up by Liu Bian at this moment, and they all roared.

"Good, worthy of being the soldiers of my Great Han Empire, worthy of being the fine men of my Great Han!"

"I, today, make a promise to you all: as long as I, Liu Bian, remain the Emperor of my Great Han Empire."

"From this day forward, my Great Han Empire shall not seek peace through marriage, shall not pay indemnities, shall not cede territory, shall not pay tribute; the Son of Heaven shall guard the national gates, and the monarch shall die for the altars of the state!"

With a grave expression and a face full of determination, Liu Bian spoke to the soldiers below.
