Sui and Tang Dynasties Summons

Chapter 186 Infighting
Seeing the letter, Ma Shumou was startled, seeing that no one had snatched the letter and opened it for a look, only to see it written in black and white.

"After listening to His Highness's words today, I know that His Highness is the real enlightened ruler, Yang Guang is corrupt and perverts the law, he is a heinous and unforgiving ruler.

After thinking about it, Feng Xian decided to wait for the Pei family father and son to find an excuse to relieve them of their military power and kill them. At that time, he would lead the troops to join him, and implored His Highness to deal with Uncle Ma's murder.Lu Bu wrote it himself. "

Ma Shumou looked at the letter from the beginning to the end, and felt more and more angry, wishing to tear the letter in his hand into powder, and checked the handwriting again, it was indeed Lu Bu.

Then he hid the envelope in his sleeve pocket, snorted coldly, and said to himself: "Lv Bu's dog thief, I can't imagine that such a picky person would want to kill me. Fortunately, I found out, and I will hand it over to the emperor. Let's see how you live this time!"

After hiding the envelope, Ma Shumou restored everything on the table to its original state, opened the door and dived under the moonlight, and disappeared as quietly as a ghost.

Immediately after, Chen Tian and Jia Xu came out from the shadows, looked at each other and said with a smile: "Wen He's plan is very clever, just wait for Ma Shumou to return to Sui Ying."

"It's all due to Mr. Xiao's realistic handwriting. The fun has just begun."

On Jia Xu's calm and watery face, there was only a slight modest smile, but that smile revealed endless intrigues and schemes.

The next day, the Sui army camped.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Lu Bu sat high on the handsome chair, but his expression was tight, and there were two big characters clearly written on his face.

heavy.

Yesterday's first battle was unsuccessful, and a total of [-] troops were lost. The morale of the entire barracks was low, and the entire tent was completely dead.

Suddenly a rush of footsteps broke the dead silence, and a soldier rushed in to report.

"Report to the general, General Ma is back!"

Hearing this, Lu Bu, Master Shang and Zuo Tiancheng were startled, obviously not expecting it.

In Lu Bu's expression, there was a flash of astonishment at first, and then a bit of suspicion appeared, why did Uncle Ma come back suddenly.

"Let him in." Lu Bu waved his hand and ordered to the soldiers in the audience.

After a while, Uncle Ma raised the tent and went inside with a look of distress.

Seeing a nameless fire igniting in Lu Bu's eyes, but afraid of Lu Bu's supernatural power, he hastily stepped forward and cupped his hands.

"The last general, Uncle Ma, greet the general!"

Lu Bu glanced at Ma Shumou, and asked, "How did General Ma escape from Xiangyang City?"

Although it was a question, his tone was full of suspicion, as if he suspected that Ma Shumou was an undercover agent sent by Chen Tian.

Seeing that he returned, Lu Bu's expression was full of displeasure, and Ma Shumou was even more convinced of his thoughts.

Uncle Ma raised his head and replied, "Return to the general, the last general took advantage of the guard's unpreparedness, knocked out the jailer and fled out of Xiangyang."

Lu Bu looked down at Ma Shumou coldly, and said sharply, "Ma Shumou, this city of Xiangyang is heavily guarded, it is impossible for you to escape, please tell me clearly, how did you get out?"

Ma Shumou had faint anger in his tone, "The last general said, he just came out of Xiangyang City, so why ask any more questions!"

Lu Bu saw that he still replied in the same words, so he strengthened his doubts, and shouted: "Nonsense, my general asked Chen thief to release him yesterday, but he still won't let you go. If you weren't sent by him, how did you get out!"

"Lu Bu, you two-surnamed slave, don't spit blood on people. I have never colluded with that thief Chen. It's not like some people say one thing and do another secretly!"

Lu Bu's words completely suppressed Ma Shumou's heart until a volcano erupted, staring at Lu Bu with wide eyes and scolding.

Lu Bu was trembling with anger at Uncle Ma's words about the two surnames of the servants, and the anger in his heart also exploded. He slammed the table and stood up, pointing his sword at Uncle Ma and shouting.

"Uncle Ma, if you have the ability to tell me something today, try again. It's unlawful for you to steal children, don't you think I don't know!"

Ma Shumou sneered mockingly, and said disdainfully: "So what if you know, I am the Emperor's man, and Dong Zhuo still respects me a little bit, how dare you touch me?"

"Enough is enough, the two of you should stop arguing. Now that the enemy is at hand, we should unite and break through Xiangyang!"

The air was filled with the pungent smell of gunpowder, seeing that the two men were at war, as if they were ready to wrestle at any moment, Master Shang and Zuo Tiancheng stood between them to dissuade them.

Only then did Lu Bu come to his senses, took a deep breath, and tried to calm the turmoil in his heart.

Uncle Ma snorted coldly, turned his face to the side, ignored Lu Bu, and became silent again in an instant.

There was another rush of footsteps, accompanied by the sound of countless horseshoes, and a soldier rushed in.

"Report to the general, General Pei has arrived at the camp with [-] soldiers and horses."

When Lu Bu heard the news, he threw all his annoyance out of the sky, clapped his hands and laughed, and said, "Okay, here we are at last, just to solve our army's urgent need, please come in, General Pei!"

"Decree." The soldiers promised and left.

After a while, four people opened the tent and entered. The first person was Pei Renji, the two on the left were Pei Yuanshao and Pei Yuanfu, and the most conspicuous person on the right was Pei Yuanqing.

The three of them walked into the tent without noticing the strong smell of gunpowder. Seeing Lu Bu, they knelt on one knee and cupped their hands and said, "The last general pays his respects to General Lu!"

Lu Bu walked around the table, helped the three of them up, and said calmly, "I'm going to trouble four generals on this journey."

Pei Renji looked up at Lu Bu, and declined, "How dare you take the credit, the last general is just escorting food and grass."

When Pei Renji looked up, he saw that his complexion was burnt yellow, and he was weak as if he hadn't eaten for a long time. Lu Bu's eyes were suspicious again, and he asked immediately.

"Why does General Pei look sick? Did he catch some wind disease on the way?"

"This……"

Pei Renji was at a loss for words and didn't know how to answer. If he told Lu Bu the news that the grain and grass had been seized by Yu Wenhua and Ji, he would offend the prime minister. If he didn't tell Lu Bu, the blame would fall on him.

Lu Bu saw Pei Renji squawking, unable to hold back a word for a long time, a bad premonition suddenly surged in his heart.

Immediately, his eyes pointed at Pei Renji like a sharp blade, and he asked, "Please explain to me clearly what's going on."

Pei Renji still didn't dare to utter half a word, and Pei Yuanshao and Pei Yuanfu beside him also buried their heads in silence.

Seeing the situation like this, Lu Bu's suppressed anger revived again, with several murderous intentions flashing in his eyes, he threatened: "If you don't say anything, you will be dealt with according to the military order for disobedience, and you will be punished!"

"General Lu, don't want to take your anger out on us. We only have one-third of our army's food and grass, that's why we are like this!"

When Lu Bu was about to explode, Pei Yuanqing loudly expressed the unspeakable secret in Pei Renji's heart.

Hearing this, the monk Zuo Tiancheng and his disciples looked surprised at the same time, "What, there is only one-third of the food and grass, so why fight this battle, how can the soldiers have the strength to go to the battlefield if they don't have enough to eat."

Intertwined with anger, the corners of Lu Bu's mouth twitched non-stop, his knuckles clenched into fists, and the veins on his ape's arms popped.

"Old man, dare to mess with our rear army, watch the fist!"

Lu Bu's face suddenly changed, regardless of what was happening, he concentrated all his anger on his right hand, pierced the air with a punch, and rushed towards Pei Renji like a tiger descending a mountain.
