At The Beginning of The Game, The Five Tiger Generals Were Intercepted

Liu Zhang, who returned to the general's mansion, held back his longing for his wife, and immediately found Tai Shici and Zhao Yun, and immediately held a small meeting with Xun You and Dian Wei who were in the mansion.

"Gongda, when you enter the palace this time, His Majesty is looking for me..."

Liu Zhang told Xun You everything from meeting Zhang Rang when he entered the palace, to the conversations with Liu Hong, to the encounter with He Jin and others when he left the palace.

In fact, Jia Xu has the best grasp of these court affairs, as well as the deceit and scheming between people. But at the moment Jia Xu is far away in Hanzhong, Liu Zhang can only discuss with Xun You.

Xun You is good at military strategy, and he is not good at these intrigues, but this is only compared to people of Jia Xu's level. If compared with Liu Zhang, it is naturally so strong that there is no way to compare!

Liu Zhang naturally knew this very well. Xun You didn't see it as thoroughly as Jia Xu, but he saw it farther than himself.

"My lord, why do I think Zhang Rang is waiting for you at the gate of the palace on purpose?"

"Waiting for me on purpose?"

Liu Zhang was a little surprised, the definition of chance encounter had already solidified in his mind.

"What's the point of Zhang Rang doing this?"

Xun You stroked his beard lightly, thinking about the logic behind it.

Maybe this is the difference between Jia Xu and Xun You. Jia Xu can often tell it with certainty, but Xun You needs repeated scrutiny.

After a while, Xun You finally cleared his mind.

"My lord, think about it carefully, what did Zhang Rang say to the lord?"

Liu Zhang narrowed his eyes slightly and began to recall the whole process again.

What did you say? It was nothing more than greeting him for returning to Luoyang so soon, telling about the expansion of the power of his relatives in the past few years, and finally revealing Liu Hong's condition.

No matter how he thought about it, Liu Zhang didn't find anything strange. It was nothing more than Zhang Rang complaining to Liu Zhang, and then talking too much about Liu Hong's situation.

"Gongda, could it be that you think too much?"

Xun You shook his head firmly, now that Jia Xu is not here, Xun You knows that every word he says must be cautious! Once Liu Zhang is misled, the group headed by Liu Zhang will definitely suffer disaster.

"My lord, the distance from Hanzhong to Luoyang is constant, and there hasn't been any war recently, so His Majesty must know exactly how long it will take for the eunuch to leave Luoyang for the lord to return to Luoyang."

"Judging from Zhang Rang's reaction, both Zhang Rang and His Majesty must be surprised by the lord's sudden arrival in Luoyang. Because our marching speed must have far exceeded their expectations."

Liu Zhang nodded, there is no doubt about this, because the eunuch who delivered the imperial decree left a few days early, Liu Zhang came from behind, and returned to Luoyang faster than them!

"But what does that mean?"

"It shows that the lord will not violate His Majesty's will! It shows that the lord's loyalty to His Majesty has not changed at all!"

Xun You directly raised the central point, making Liu Zhang stand up as if enlightened.

"Your Majesty is testing whether I will be as obedient as before!"

Seeing Liu Zhang's astonished expression, Xun You nodded again.

"That's right! At the beginning, it was to test the attitude of the lord, then use Luo Yang's latest situation to test the lord's reaction, and finally use His Majesty's condition to test the lord's thoughts!"

Liu Zhang sat down a little decadently, feeling exhausted from his heart.

After receiving the imperial decree, I rushed to the capital Luoyang non-stop, and what I was greeted with was such a deep temptation!

"Fortunately, fortunately, I was cautious..."

In fact, Liu Zhang wanted to say that it was a good thing he played it himself, and pretended to be nervous about Liu Hong's condition in a low profile!

"God bless the lord, so that the lord can survive this calamity safely!"

For Xun You's congratulatory voice, Liu Zhang didn't have much thought to accept it, but looked up to the sky and sighed.

"Hey, it's said that cunning rabbits are dead dogs, and birds are good! We are not doing well, but we are always jealous of His Majesty!"

Everyone in the room fell into silence, this is really chilling!

"Hmph! It's better to be happy in Hanzhong, but if you come to Luoyang, you will be angry with the dog emperor!"

Dian Wei slammed the table to vent his dissatisfaction. If anyone in Liu Zhang's team hates Liu Hong the most, it's none other than Dian Wei.

Surprisingly, Liu Zhang did not reprimand Dian Wei, and even more surprising, Xun You did not refute it!

"Okay, this kind of life won't last long, His Majesty's body is already very weak, I guess, at the beginning of next year at most!"

Liu Zhang's words completely shocked everyone, including Xun You who had been hinted at by Liu Zhang.

Liu Zhang just gave Xun You a general idea before, and Xun You felt that he would survive for another one to two years, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.

"My lord, are you sure? It's already September!"

Liu Zhang is too sure. Diabetes in this era is naturally life-threatening, not to mention Liu Hong's physical fitness.

"I'll give you the bottom line, next February at the latest."

Now that Liu Zhang no longer has to hide it, he directly expressed his accurate prediction of Liu Hong's life and death.

"No wonder His Majesty formed the Xiyuan Army to fight against He Jin. It seems that he is determined to abolish the elders and establish the younger ones!"

Xun You is becoming more and more disappointed with Liu Hong. The eldest son Liu Bian is gentle, generous and has no faults. Just because Liu Hong doesn't like him, he will be abolished! No consideration was given to the consequences of abolishing Liu Bian.

Can Queen He let it go? Can the general sit back and watch Liu Xie succeed to the throne? Don't the aristocratic family want an emperor like Liu Bian?

Liu Hong is equivalent to making an enemy of the whole world with his own power!

"My lord, let's start now to gain enough power in Luoyang. The bigger the power, the better, so as to deal with future turmoil!"

Xun You had foreseen that the moment Liu Hong died was the beginning of the turmoil in Luoyang.

"That's right! The opportunity is coming soon! Your Majesty has already restarted the military exercise. This time we will win the contest with He Jin with a crushing attitude!"

Liu Zhang looked at Zhao Yun and Tai Shici, who will be his reliance in this military exercise.

Zhao Yun and Tai Shici stood up at the same time, with extremely strong confidence reflected in their eyes. Tai Shici made a promise to Liu Zhang.

"Don't worry, my lord, the Wufeng Camp will definitely not be lost! This military exercise must let the world know the name of our Wufeng Camp!"

Wufeng Battalion has been training for two years, and all the military formations have already matured, especially the use of the car suspension formation, which is even more proficient!

Under Tai Shici's command, the entire Wufeng camp has been united as one, and can completely obey orders and prohibitions!

Tai Shici had unparalleled confidence in Wu Fengying, not to mention fighting against the trash He Jin, even if he was asked to fight against Xianbei Karasuma's cavalry now, Tai Shici would never frown!

"Hehe, of course I don't worry about Ziyi. He Jin is such a waste, what kind of elite soldiers can he have? But this time I have only one request. I want a big victory, a complete victory, a crushing victory." Victory, but also a complete victory!"

Liu Zhang must take this opportunity to reawaken the prestige that people had for him a few years ago.

After three years of silence, many people may have forgotten him as the god of death on the battlefield, the undefeated general who slaughtered the Yellow Turban and destroyed Xiliang!
