Chapter 497 Disagree?heads-up! (Thanks to [Ling Jun's Incense Burner] for the reward)

When Lu Yan was fifty miles away from Huguan County, he suddenly received a secret letter from Lu Lingqi.

It was said that the soldier handed over the letter to Lu Yan and left in a hurry. Seeing him like that, he seemed a little afraid of what would happen next.

Lu Yan opened the secret letter suspiciously, and immediately frowned at first glance.

More and more, the content of the letter made Lu Yan more and more angry, and at the end, Lu Yan's face had turned livid.

Seeing that Lu Yan's face was livid, Xu Huang asked cautiously, "Lu Hussar, has something happened in the county?"

After Lu Yan handed the letter in his hand to Xu Huang, he said with irrepressible anger, "You can read it yourself."

Xu Huang had never seen Lu Yan so angry before, so he quickly took the letter and opened it to read.

"This... this is a bastard!" Xu Huang was shocked, but also extremely angry, "In order to win the hearts of the people in Hebei, the lord did not hesitate to offend the nobles of the aristocratic family by opening warehouses, distributing land, and exempting various places from taxes for several years. Isn't Liang Jun's behavior going to make the lord's efforts all in vain?"

In addition to these, Lu Yan knew what Ma Chao did in history.

He said with a serious expression: "Ma Chao is rebellious, and his actions are even more ruthless and unscrupulous. If we don't strictly discipline him now, there will be big troubles in the future."

"If Lu Huqi wants to take down Ma Chao and question him, he will eventually be willing to be the vanguard!" Xu Huang clasped his fists to challenge Lu Yan.

Xu Huang has always attached great importance to military discipline, and Cao Jun's military discipline has one rule: Do not disturb the people.

Ma Chao expelled the people and destroyed the people's residences. This is a very serious violation of discipline, and Xu Huang naturally hated it.

Zhong Yao, Ma Teng, Han Sui and others were about to come to see Lu Yan. When they were about a few meters behind them, they happened to hear Xu Huang's words asking Lu Yan to fight. In front of Lu Yan and Xu Huang.

It was Zhong Yao who spoke first, and asked Lu Yan: "Lu Huqi, I don't know what crime Meng Qi committed, why do you want to question him?"

Xu Huang looked at Lu Yan, saw that Lu Yan nodded in agreement, then handed the letter in his hand to Zhong Yao, and said, "Lieutenant Zhong, General Ma, take a look for yourself."

Zhong Yao took the letter, and Ma Teng came over to read it together under suspicion.

After browsing through it hastily, the two of them also felt a thud in their hearts.
"This..." Zhong Yao wanted to say that he had repeatedly emphasized the issue of military discipline to the Xiliang Army, but the matter had already happened, and it was useless to talk about other things as Ma Chao's direct superior.In desperation, Zhong Yao had no choice but to bow down and plead guilty: "It is because the subordinates did not pass the general discipline to the position, so please punish Lu Hussar!"

"This bastard! The old man repeatedly warned him to act prudently, but unexpectedly something happened." Ma Teng was even more furious in his heart, but he was his own son after all, so he still had to protect him. Dismount Ma Chao and come to inquire about the crime. Also, please Lu Huqi, for the sake of my Ma family's life and death for the prime minister, you can hold your hand high, and forgive Ma Chao this time!"

Lu Yan took a deep look at Ma Teng, but sighed in his heart: "You are very affectionate, but your precious son can treat a thief as his father for the sake of military power, and kill you and the three clans of the Ma family. Sad, sad. "

Although Ma Chao has a lot of bad deeds in history, after all, he has not done those appalling things now.

Lu Yan looked at Ma Teng and said: "Meng Qi is the first offender, so I won't pursue it too much this time. But you need to resettle the people properly. If they are settled properly, the merits and demerits will be offset; if there are still people who are displaced, then you will The crime will be increased!"

Seeing Lu Yan's kindness, Zhong Yao and Ma Teng were immediately overjoyed, and they all bowed together: "Thank you, Lu Huan, for your kindness!"

Zhong Yao, Ma Teng and the others set out from Yangcheng and captured many places along the way.

People in many villages or county towns fled spontaneously when the army came, leaving many vacant houses.

These vacant places are enough to accommodate the people who were driven out by Ma Chao.So Lu Yan asked them to resettle the people to offset the previous crime of destroying the people's residences and driving the people into Huguan City, which basically meant letting Ma Chao go.

Because Ma Teng was worried about Ma Chao, but also to prevent the situation from expanding, he hastily bid farewell to Lu Yanzhongyou, led a team of troops, and headed towards where Ma Chao was first.

Lu Yan's army came to Huguan County more than ten miles away and set up camp.

In the evening, Ma Teng brought Ma Chao back before the camp was built.As for the Xiliang Army under Ma Chao's command, they were all handed over to his deputy general Pang De to command.

After seeing Lu Yan, Ma Teng immediately urged Ma Chao to confess his guilt.

But seeing the unconvinced expression on Ma Chao's face, Lu Yan knew that this guy hadn't realized his mistake yet.

For this kind of guy who thinks highly of himself and has his own set of logic, reasoning must not make sense.Because in their minds, your "reason" and his "reason" are not the same concept at all, and if you insist on telling him, it's just a chicken talking to a duck.

The best way to deal with him is to suppress him directly!Start from his strongest point, let him have nothing to say first, and then he can slowly instill your set of ideas.

Lu Yan looked at Ma Chao, knowing that what Ma Chao was most proud of was undoubtedly his bravery.

Ma Chao was asked by Ma Teng to kneel down in front of Lu Yan to plead guilty. At first, this guy was reluctant, until he got kicked by Ma Teng, then he reluctantly came to Lu Yan, knelt on one knee and said: : "The people on the frontier of the last general don't know military discipline, so I ask Lu Hussar to forgive me!"

With his hands behind his back, Lu Yan stared at Ma Chao's stubborn and arrogant face with slightly squinted eyes, and asked, "Not convinced?"

Hearing this, Ma Chao's face, which was originally turned to one side, suddenly lifted up, and stared straight into Lu Yan's eyes.

After a while, he gritted his teeth and spit out a word: "The last general dare not accept it!"

The first rank of the official rank crushes people, not to mention the hussars general who is several ranks higher than Ma Chao, a partial general. Ma Chao now has to show a soft attitude.

"Man, if you have a grudge in your heart, why don't you dare to admit it?" Lu Yan drew a circle on the ground with his toes, and continued: "Since you are not convinced, then this general will give you a chance!
If you can get this general out of this circle, today's matter will be written off, and this general will no longer point fingers at you in the future, how about it? "

Hearing this, Ma Chao opened his eyes and asked, "What if I can't let you quit this circle?"

"Hehe!" Lu Yan said with a chuckle, "If you can't let me quit this circle, you can come to our army to raise horses from now on."

"Okay! It's a deal!" Ma Chao naturally never hesitated in the martial arts competition.But he still felt the need to confirm again, "You shouldn't break your promise, right?"

Lu Yan stood still, the breath in his body was tumbling, and he said: "A gentleman can never catch up with a horse!"
