Chapter 453: Liu Bian

Seeing the two men so agitated, Liu Bian and the others understood.

"Two ministers, there is no need for 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; this old minister was reckless!"

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

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

With a million armored soldiers under his command, why would 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 who rubbed Gongsun Zan were now both under his command.

As for others who could rub Gongsun Zan, there were even more.

Any one of the Six Great Legions could be sent out, and any one of them would be enough to hammer Gongsun Zan into the ground!

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

"Lelang Commandery no longer needs support. The newly appointed Youzhou Inspector Shen Pei has already arrived in Zhuojun, and the Youzhou defender, General Who Crushes the Wuhuan Yan Rou, has already assembled 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 everyone.

And as Liu Bian's words fell, Lü Bu was the first to step out, bowed to Liu Bian, and shouted loudly:

"Reporting to Your Majesty, this subordinate requests to fight!"

When the others saw this scene, the commanders of the other five legions also reacted belatedly.

At the same time, they secretly cursed Lü Bu in their hearts; with this reaction, who said Lü Bu was simple-minded!

Seeing the other five legion commanders follow Lü Bu's actions, they also bowed to Liu Bian and shouted in unison:

"Reporting to Your Majesty, this subordinate requests to fight!"

And after seeing the actions of Zhao Yun and the other five, they could not help but secretly curse in their hearts:

"What a bunch of old foxes!"

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

"As expected of my six great high-ranking generals of the Han Empire, but a mere Gongsun Zan is not worth the simultaneous mobilization of my Six Great Legions!"

Liu Bian suddenly stood up and said majestically to the six.

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

"Fengxiao, this time I intend for you to serve as the military advisor and accompany the army on the expedition; which general do you think is suitable to go?"

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

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

Now, everyone's body was in excellent condition in all aspects, and if their cultivation reached the Innate realm or their Literary Dao cultivation reached the Scholar realm, their lifespan could reach as high as two hundred years.

Guo Jia, upon hearing this, responded to Liu Bian with a confident face:

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

"As for the legion to set out for Youzhou, please let Your Majesty decide. Today, among the Six Great Legions of my Han Empire, the Shenwu Legion is the most powerful."

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

"This subject has even heard that the soldiers have all begun cultivation and are about to reach the strength of third-rate martial generals!"

Guo Jia did not give a clear recommendation on which legion to send, only explaining the situation of each legion to everyone.

One must know that it was inappropriate to send any of these Six Great Legions, so it was better to throw this hot potato to Liu Bian.

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

"You Guo Fengxiao, you are quite slick at playing Taiji!"

However, Guo Jia and the others were all confused after hearing this; only Guo Jia asked Liu Bian with doubt:

"Your Majesty, this subject knows about Taiji, but this subject does not 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 was quite a situation, people of this era did not yet know the meaning of "playing Taiji"!

Immediately, he explained to everyone what "playing Taiji" meant.

Subsequently, Liu Bian said to everyone with a serious face:

"Since you are all unwilling to say which legion should go, then I will name one."

Liu Bian scanned the commanders of the Six Great Legions.

And upon feeling Liu Bian's gaze, the six men all stood straight, looking at Liu Bian with anticipation.

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

"Guan Yu, listen to my order!"

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

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

"This subordinate is here!"

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

"I order you to lead ten thousand Qinglong Legion soldiers on an expedition to Youzhou!"

A mere Gongsun Zan did not require Liu Bian to mobilize the entire twenty-thousand-strong Qinglong Legion.

With Guan Yu leading ten thousand Qinglong Legion soldiers, plus Zhang Fei, Guo Jia, and the others, such a luxurious lineup would make suppressing the mere Gongsun Zan easy and effortless.

"This subordinate accepts the decree; this subordinate will certainly suppress the Youzhou rebellion within one month, otherwise I will submit to Your Majesty's disposal!"

Guan Yu responded with a firm face, which was equivalent to a military pledge.

"Since that is the case, then the suppression of the Youzhou rebellion is entrusted to you, Yunchang, and Fengxiao!"

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

And Guan Yu and Guo Jia both responded to Liu Bian with determined faces:

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

Seeing this, Liu Bian nodded in satisfaction.

Subsequently, he said to Guan Yu:

"In order for you to suppress the Youzhou rebellion within a month, I will give you a helping hand!"

After Liu Bian finished speaking, he waved his hand at the commanders of the Six Great Legions.

Countless Spirit Stone fragments appeared before the six men.

"These are the Spirit Stone fragments I have prepared for the soldiers of your Six Great Legions; now, I shall hand them all to you 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 redeemed enough Spirit Stone fragments for everyone in the Six Great Legions to use.

There were a full one million two hundred thousand pieces, costing Liu Bian one hundred and twenty thousand National Fortune points.

At this point, Liu Bian's National Fortune points were left with only over four hundred thousand. ===== CHAPTER 454 =====
