The Reincarnation of Lu Bu at the End of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 701
When he came to the gate of the mansion, Ma Teng stopped for a while with his hips on his hips, and couldn't help sighing: "Da Sima, your mansion is so angry!"

Lu Bu smiled, and said to Ma Teng: "When you are free in the future, I will also set up a mansion for you in Chang'an, how about it?"

All the officials were surprised, they didn't expect this reckless man surnamed Ma to be so highly valued by Da Sima.

Ma Teng didn't appreciate this, and waved his hand: "Forget it, I'm a rough man, and I'm used to the life of fighting on horseback. If you put me in this cage, I can't stand it."

Lu Bu just smiled.

The officials behind him slandered in their hearts: I don't know flattery!
When they arrived at the banquet hall, Lu Bu regarded Ma Teng as the guest of honor, ranking first among the guests, and Ma Teng was particularly happy.

The delicacies were served on the table, and the maids poured wine for everyone.

Ma Teng was the first to pick up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of venison, and put it into his mouth to eat it, his face full of enjoyment.

Seeing this, everyone in the hall stared at him angrily.

This guy is so rude!

The host has not moved the chopsticks, so there is no reason for the guests to eat first.

"Father!"

Seeing this, Ma Chao became anxious, tugged on Ma Teng's sleeve robe, and hastily called out, for fear of causing Lu Bu's dissatisfaction.

Only then did Ma Teng come to his senses, and he turned sideways to Lu Bu and cupped his hands, "Da Sima, I have been in Xichui for a long time, and I have been with the Qiang people all day long, and drink blood like hair, but I forgot these rules, please forgive me."

Lu Bu was magnanimous about this, he waved his hand lightly without paying attention, and said with a smile: "It's okay, Shoucheng acted rashly, I will not blame it. It's just that I will face the saint tomorrow, don't forget the etiquette That's good."

"Thank you, Da Sima, for reminding me, I've made a note." Ma Teng nodded in response.

"Come on, let's give a toast to General Zhengxi first, to congratulate him for defeating the rebels and stabilizing our great Han Xichui!" Lu Bu raised his glass, and the other officials also raised their glasses to congratulate Ma Teng.

All the officials toasted, and Ma Teng's face was full of pride.

He raised his head and drank a glass full.

When I was selling firewood in the past, my life was difficult. How could I have thought that I would have the glory of today.

Back then, even the son of a little Chang'an city magistrate dared to beat Ma Teng wantonly in the market.If it weren't for Lu Bu's action, it is estimated that Ma Teng would have a hard time seeing the sun tomorrow.

At that time, Ma Teng had a virtuous personality, and was not as irritable and bloodthirsty as he is now.

Later, as Ma Teng's power grew, he secretly pretended to be a bandit and slaughtered Xu's family.

After drinking for three rounds, everyone in the hall was drunk.

At this time, a report came.

Lu Bu opened the brief, and after scanning it, he laughed heartily: "What a Sun Bo Fu, I really read it right!"

The officials in the hall didn't know the reason, and asked respectfully: "Why is Da Sima so happy?"

Lu Bu raised the memorial in his hand, and said with a smile: "This is a report from Jiangdong. Sun Ce, the captain of Huaiyi, not only put down Yan Baihu's rebellion, but also took down Wujun, Include the Danyang and Kuaiji armies as well."

In just one year, half of the six counties in Jiangdong are already in hand!
The report also mentioned that Sun Ce had left Jiangdong and was preparing to go to Beijing to report on his duties.

"Big Sima, pardon my ignorance, it seems that I have never heard that there is such a number one person under your command?" Ma Teng stood up staggeringly, hiccupped, his face was a little drunk.

It was almost unsteady to stand, Lu Bu pressed his hand down, motioned Ma Teng to sit down first, and then said: "You don't know, this is normal, Bofu has only served me for a short time, Han Sheng, Wen Yuan and the others It is clear. After careful calculation, Bo Fu should be about the same age as Meng Qi, and his strength should be between him. When he arrives in Chang'an, you two can communicate well."

Ma Chao nodded in response, remembering Sun Ce's name in his heart, he wanted to see if this person was really as powerful as Lu Bu said.

Now Lu Bu's generals who can beat him in a single duel can be counted on one hand.

Not long after, another soldier submitted a letter.

Lu Bu opened and browsed as usual, and after reading it, the smile on his face became wider and brighter. Today is really an auspicious day!
The letter mentioned that the countries in the Western Regions will send envoys to Beijing to pay tribute next month, so that the imperial court should make corresponding preparations first.

Sure enough, good things happened one after another.

Since Beigong Boyu's rebellion that year, the countries in the Western Regions seemed to have cut off contact with the great man, and never sent envoys to the DPRK.

Now that the countries in the Western Regions are actively paying tribute, it is estimated that it is inseparable from the situation in Xiliang. The mighty Guishuang Empire has been defeated by the army of the Han Dynasty. These small countries in the Western Regions are naturally worried that the Han Dynasty will direct their troops at them, so they take the initiative to seek peace first. free from war.

Regarding this, the civil and military officials in the hall were very proud. If the big man is not strong enough, how can these foreign nations be willing to submit.

"Brother, I will trouble you a lot these days." Lu Bu looked down at Yan Li and said with a smile.

It is undoubtedly a great credit for this matter to be done well.

While the other officials were jealous, they could only be envious and jealous, hating their sister for not being able to marry Lu Bu earlier.

Yan Li nodded and replied earnestly: "Don't worry, Da Sima, I will do my best to show the best side of the big man to foreign envoys."

Lu Bu was very relieved of handling affairs with strict etiquette. After all, there had never been any mistakes in all these years.

"Who is that, Wang Shilang, you should also be in charge and assist together." Lu Bu pointed to a middle-aged man below, unable to call out his name for a while.

"The next official takes the order, thank you Da Sima for your appreciation!"

Wang Jing, who was named, got up quickly and thanked Lu Bu.

Don't look at him being so cautious, his background is not small, his father is Situ Gong Wang Yun.

After the banquet was over, everyone went back to their homes.

Lu Bu arranged accommodation for Ma Teng and his entourage at the mansion, and asked them to return to their rooms earlier to rest.

Ma Chao supported his drunken father and walked along the corridor.

Recalling his father's wild words at the banquet, Ma Chao couldn't help reminding in a low voice: "Father, this is not Liangzhou. You should keep a low profile in your actions and words in the future."

Hearing this, Ma Teng, who smelled of alcohol, pushed his son away in displeasure, and shouted loudly: "What are you afraid of, those literati and scholars are just jealous of their father and have made outstanding achievements, and they are clowns! Besides, I recovered Liangzhou for the imperial court, and it was too late for the imperial court to thank me, so how could they condemn me?"

Taking advantage of his drunkenness, Ma Teng talked more and more vigorously, saying what should be said and what should not be said: "Da Sima sent Zhong Fu, Jiang and Gai to spy on me, thinking that I didn't know? My head is very clear, if I want to rebel, I just need to wave my arms in Xiliang, and they can do nothing to me!"

Ma Chao, who had never been more than a little afraid of rushing to fight, was shocked by this sentence and broke out in a cold sweat.

Fortunately, Ma Teng added another sentence: "Don't worry, Da Sima has treated me well, and he is also my old benefactor. As a father, he would never do such a wolf-hearted thing."
