Chapter 199 Volume Death News
Human and horse power were applied at the same time, and in full view of everyone, the Fang Tian Huaji, Qinglong Yanyue Sword and Zhangba Snake Spear, which had already been badly damaged, all exploded!

At this moment, Lu Bu only had a halberd handle in his hand.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were not much better off, with half of the pole still in their hands.

At the moment, only the weapon in the hands of Zhao Yun, who joined the battle later, can be used.

For a moment, everyone present stared at Zhao Yun!

Speaking of Zhang Fei in particular, he even shouted, "Zilong! Go ahead! Go and kill him!"

Lu Bu stared at Zhao Yun vigilantly. Even though only a little bit of the halberd handle was left, he still held it across his chest, wanting to fight to the end!
But the next moment, what no one expected was that Zhao Yun, who was full of fighting spirit just now, actually threw away the spear in his hand and smiled naively: "General Lu won, there is no need to fight anymore."

As soon as these words were spoken, there was silence all around.

However, the surrounding Xiliang soldiers soon burst into cheers and shouted Lu Bu's name loudly.

Lu Bu won!
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei looked gloomy.

Zhang Fei came to Zhao Yun with some displeasure and said, "Zilong, what's wrong with you? Just now you could have easily knocked Lu Bu off his horse or even captured him alive! How can you admit defeat now?"

Zhao Yun smiled bitterly: "Yide, it's just a casual duel, why do you have to be so serious?"

"And didn't Yide forget? It took the three of us working together to force Lu Bu into this situation... Fighting one against three, even if we win, is it glorious to tell others about it?"

Zhang Fei was speechless.

He actually ignored this matter!

As if it was a convention, even Zhang Fei thought it was normal to gang up on Lu Bu...

Now, after Zhao Yun’s reminder, Zhang Fei finally realized that even if he could defeat Lu Bu, what glory would it be?

Guan Yu, who was standing by, actually wanted to come over and reprimand Zhao Yun, but after hearing what he said, he didn't feel like saying anything.

At this moment, Lu Bu on the other side also came over with laughter.

"Great! Great! The three of you are all outstanding in martial arts, so why don't you have an official position yet?"

Lu Bu really wanted to recruit talented people. "Would you like to join my army? The three of you can serve as lieutenants as soon as you arrive! And with your martial arts, it's only a matter of time before you make a name for yourself on the battlefield and kill a general. You can be promoted to the rank of Lieutenant General very soon! What do you think?"

The most important thing is that Lu Bu couldn't help but feel more happy when he thought about having these three people accompany him to practice martial arts every day!
But Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and the young Zhao Yun all rejected Lü Bu's offer: "General Lü, we are grateful for your kindness, but we are all subordinates of Lord Xuande after all, so I'm afraid we can't obey your orders!"

When Lu Bu heard that the three men were unwilling to join his camp, he felt a little regretful.

Although Zhang Fei refused Lu Bu's offer, he praised him sincerely: "How did you get so much muscle? How come you are so strong! I thought my second brother was invincible, how come there is someone like you?"

Lu Bu smiled and said, "How can a black-faced man like you say such a thing? Just think that you are praising me! If you are dissatisfied in the future, you can always bring your second brother to challenge me!"

"Humph!"

Zhang Fei was a man who said one thing and acted another. Although he was impressed by Lu Bu's martial arts, he could not let go of his pride.

"Today I just didn't eat enough because I had to meet the emperor! Next time when I'm full, why would I need my second brother to help? I can take you down by myself!"

Lu Bu was not angry after hearing this.

As long as Zhang Fei is willing to come, Lu Bu hasn't experienced such an exciting fight for a long time. Even if there is only Zhang Fei, it is enough to make Lu Bu excited!

When Liu Xie saw that Lu Bu had a fight with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and that their relationship did not seem to have become distant but rather closer, he felt relieved.

Holding Liu Bei, Liu Xie told him to put his mind at ease: "It's just a joke in the military camp, please rest assured, uncle!"

Liu Bei seemed to have not yet recovered from the battle. He was still obsessed with Lu Bu's bravery: "There is actually such a brave man in this world! How wonderful! How wonderful!"

Feeling the emperor pulling him, Liu Bei sighed again: "With such a brave general, the Han Dynasty will surely prosper!"

Liu Xie was a little complacent, but he also complimented: "Uncle Emperor's three generals, Guan, Zhang, and Zhao, are all first-class warriors! I am also lucky to have your help!"

"Don't dare, don't dare..."

At this time, a palace servant came to Liu Xie and asked: "Your Majesty, Minister Xun Yu wants to see you."

Liu Xie glanced outside the palace gate strangely.

Like Xun Yu and Jia Xu, neither of them would come to me rashly unless there was something important.

Jia Xu is low-key...

As for Xun Yu, there was basically nothing he could not handle... Even if there were government affairs that required the emperor's approval, he would first make a set of plans, and then wait until the court meeting to slowly unravel the government affairs in a clear and organized manner.

Now that I have suddenly found the Beigong used in the game, I am afraid that he has really encountered a difficult situation.

When Liu Bei heard that the minister had come to look for the emperor, and the emperor's reaction, he took the initiative to seek retreat: "Your Majesty, since I have official business to attend to, I will take my leave now."

But Liu Xie not only did not agree, but grabbed Liu Bei's hand and said, "Why are you leaving, uncle? I have prepared a banquet for you. It won't be too late to leave the palace after dinner."

"It just so happens that the Minister of State Xun Yu is also a gentleman who is virtuous and virtuous, so it is just right for him to be introduced to the Emperor's uncle."

Seeing that the emperor did not treat him as an outsider at all, Liu Bei was moved again and trusted the emperor completely and wholeheartedly.

Xun Yu was a little curious when he entered the North Palace, wondering why there were so many guests around the emperor. When Liu Xie introduced Liu Bei to him, Xun Yu realized that this was Liu Bei who had previously fought with Cao Cao for Dongjun.

"Meet Uncle Liu."

Although Xun Yu didn't know how Liu Bei got this generation title, since the emperor called him that, how could it be false?
Moreover, as soon as he saw Liu Bei, Xun Yu always felt that there was an inexplicable sense of intimacy with Liu Bei, making him want to get close to Liu Bei right now.

But there was something important going on at the moment, so Xun Yu had to restrain his emotions, bowed to the emperor, and brought the news -

"Your Majesty, news has come from Hanzhong that Liu Yan, the governor of Yizhou, has died of illness!"

Liu Xie was dodged as if by lightning!

But he soon calmed down.

It's ok.

Anyway, the person who succeeded Liu Yan as the governor of Yizhou was Liu Zhang, who was weak in character. The change of ownership of Yizhou was actually a good thing for the court...

……

and many more?

Liu Zhang!

Liu Xie suddenly reacted.

Because of the last incident with Wang Yun, Liu Zhang was implicated by his brother Liu Fan and seems to be still being held in the imperial prison in Guanzhong!
So who is the current ruler of Yizhou?

When Xun Yu saw the emperor's reaction, he also sighed.

"According to the intelligence Gongda sent from Hanzhong, Yizhou is currently leaderless."

"Liu Yan's Sima Zhao Wei, Zhizhong Gongshi Wang Shang and other local nobles all wanted to make Liu Yan's son Liu Mao the governor of Yizhou and continue to govern Yizhou."

"But there are reports that Zhang Wei, who had previously fled from Hanzhong to Yizhou, is using the name of the Five Pecks of Rice Sect to gather followers."

"During the reign of Emperor An, Zhang Daoling established the 24 prefectures in Shu. He also appointed chief priests to lead each household, just like a governor... Therefore, in fact, most people in Shu are followers of the Five Pecks of Rice Sect. If Zhang Wei were to start an uprising in the name of Zhang Daoling, I'm afraid he would really cause a riot!"

Xun Yu's words made everyone present change their expressions!
Because they all thought of the same thing -

Taiping Taoism!

In the past, Zhang Jiao set up thirty-six sects throughout the Han Dynasty. Once they started a rebellion, the world was in chaos in an instant!
At present, Zhang Daoling has also set up 24 administrative divisions in Yizhou. If a direct descendant like Zhang Wei goes to Yizhou, it is possible that it will cause unrest in Shu again!
The bad news reported by Xun Yu was far more than that——

"Gongda also learned from some of the Ba Yi that some officials and generals in Ba County, such as Shen Mi, Lou Fa, and Gan Ning, were also planning a rebellion under the instigation of Jingzhou's deputy governor Liu He, and wanted to counterattack Chengdu!"

The local nobles of Yizhou represented by Zhao Wei and Wang Shang.

The Five Pecks of Rice Sect represented by Zhang Wei.

The generals of Ba County, represented by Shen Mi, Lou Fa and Gan Ning, also have the power of Jingzhou hidden behind them.

……

There is no doubt that Liu Yan’s sudden death caused Yizhou to explode instantly and fall apart!

In today's troubled times, when powerful families in various places are extremely powerful, if there is no powerful person to suppress them, no matter how powerful the forces are, they will vanish in an instant!
If Wang Yun had succeeded and assassinated Dong Zhuo before, Guanzhong would have become exactly the same as Yizhou is now!
There is also Hebei recorded in history books after Yuan Shao's death.

Jingzhou after Liu Biao's death.

The only exception was Jiangdong after Sun Ce's death.

But not everyone has a good son or brother like Sun Quan who can protect the foundation.

This is the current situation in Yizhou.

If it was only Gan Ning and other Ba County generals who rebelled, Liu Mao, who was supported by the local nobles of Yizhou, might have been able to suppress it.

But if there was a legitimate descendant of Heavenly Master like Zhang Wei who was able to mobilize and control the Five Pecks of Rice Sect founded by Zhang Daoling in Shu, could Liu Mao still hold on?
Liu Yan may have left some inheritance to Liu Mao.

For example, the "Dongzhou Army" composed of refugees from Guanzhong and Jingzhou.

However, due to the court's active disaster relief efforts, not many people in Guanzhong actually died.

As a result, the "Dongzhou Army" formed by Liu Yan would inevitably be far less powerful than in history.

This also means that Liu Mao and the local Yizhou nobles behind him are likely to lose in this battle.

By then, whether it is the Five Pecks of Rice Sect or the generals of Ba County assisted by the Jingzhou forces controlling Yizhou, it will not be a good thing for the court!
Needless to say, Zhang Wei must have hated the imperial court to the core and would definitely plan a Northern Expedition.

Once Jingzhou obtains the land of Bashu, it will directly transform into a huge behemoth covering an area of ​​thousands of miles!

Even though Liu Biao's attitude towards the court is still relatively kind, Liu Xie will never allow a super power spanning the two states of Jing and Yi to appear under his nose!

"Liu Yan...died at the wrong time!"
