Lu Bu, God of War of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 183 Ma Chao Visits
Chapter 180 Three

It was not until the afternoon that the battle against the Qiang people finally came to an end.Lu Bu also brought his generals to Fufeng City to discuss matters.

"Generals, after all the generals fought the enemy bravely this time, all the Qiang people have been wiped out by our army. It's just a pity that Beigong Boyu's whereabouts are unknown." Seeing that all the generals had arrived, Lu Bu concluded.

"It's strange to say that Zang Ba and I separated to intercept, but we didn't see Beigong Boyu's shadow. Could it be that this guy can't fly?" Dian Wei said a little indignantly.

"That's right, we obviously killed many Qiang people who fled there, but we didn't see Beigong Boyu." Zang Ba also said a little discouraged.

"But this way, it's not a bad thing." Zhang Liao said thoughtfully.

"Oh, Zhang Liao, if you have anything to say, just say it." Hearing Zhang Liao speak, Lu Bu was more than happy to listen to Zhang Liao's opinion. After all, Zhang Liao is not Lu Bu's direct descendant. If Lu Bu wants to win over Zhang Liao, he must first establish a good relationship with Zhang Liao. , and then he can think of a way to let Zhang Liao do things for him with all his heart.

"It's the general. Zhang Liao thought that Han Sui and Ma Teng had completely torn their faces with Beigong Boyu this time. As long as Beigong Boyu was alive, he would definitely seek revenge from Ma Teng and Han Sui. In this way, for our army, It's a good thing." Zhang Liao said with a nod to Lu Bu.

"Haha, General Zhang is right. Han Sui and Ma Teng are not good people. They made an appointment to attack us, but they turned back halfway. I, Dianwei, are the first to look down on such people. When Dian Wei heard Zhang Liao's words, he agreed very much.This is not because Dian Wei's military ability has improved, but because Dian Wei looked down on Han Sui and Ma Teng's rebellion.

"Hahaha, what Dian Wei said is true. Since Ma Teng and Han Sui can unite with foreigners and kill our compatriots, what hope can we have for such people?" Lu Bu said to Ma Teng and Han Sui what he did. It is also very opinionated.

"My lord, do you mean to start a war with Ma Teng and Han Sui?" Hearing Lu Bu's words, Zang Ba asked excitedly.

"Hehe, you are really good at fighting. Ma Teng and Han Sui are not ordinary people. Besides, after this battle, our army has suffered heavy losses. The total number of cavalry is only more than [-]. Even if I want to go to war, I am afraid that there will be none." This power." Lu Bu laughed and said helplessly.

"My lord, although our cavalry suffered heavy losses, our infantry did not suffer any losses. If we add the newly recruited soldiers from Tianshui, the strength of our army should increase instead of decrease. I think we can still win." Wei Xu obviously disagreed with Lu Bu's opinion, and felt that it would not be difficult to defeat Ma Teng and Han Sui.

"Hey, as the saying goes, if one general succeeds in eternity, it is better not to fight this battle, or not to fight well. Wei Xu, go and see how many of the [-] brothers we brought from Bingzhou are left now? How long does it take, I don't want my brothers to be killed or injured again." Lu Bu lamented and said with some melancholy.

As soon as Lu Bu said this, all the generals were surprised and lowered their heads one by one.

Zhang Liao admired the general's benevolence and righteousness. He did not expect that the general wiped out [-] Qiang troops. Not only was he not arrogant or impetuous, but he felt sorry for the dead soldiers. It is really a blessing for the three armies, and a blessing for our soldiers." Hearing Lu Bu's remarks , Zhang Liao cupped his hands, stepped forward and bowed deeply to Lu Bu and said.

Originally, in Zhang Liao's mind, Lu Bu was just a bloodthirsty, ruthless and unintentional killing machine, but now Zhang Liao's heart suddenly became confused. Is this young general who loves soldiers in front of him really Lu Bu?Why is it different from Zhang Liao's previous cognition.

"General Zhang doesn't have to be like this. As the saying goes, Lu Yao knows the horsepower, and you can see people's hearts after a long time. You will understand what kind of person I am, Lu Bu." Seeing Zhang Liao's compliments to him, Lu Bu knew that Zhang Liao's senses had already grown. There was a change, and I was naturally happy, but for Zhang Liao, Lu Bu knew that it was useless to be in a hurry, such a person could only be subdued slowly, and one day Zhang Liao would agree with him, and go through life and death with him.

"General Qi, outside the door Ma Chao and Yan Xing came to ask for an audience." Just as Lu Bu finished speaking, soldiers came to report.

"Oh, Ma Chao and Yan Xing are here. Hurry up, no, I'll go to greet them in person." Lu Bu originally planned to ask someone to invite them, but after thinking about it, he decided to go to greet them in person.

"My lord, it's just Ma Chao and Yan Xing who came, and my lord He Lao will go in person. I'll invite them in." Seeing that Lu Bu was about to come out to meet him, Wei Xu hurriedly stepped forward to stop him.

Lu Bu paused for a while when he heard this, and then looked at the generals, all of them looked reluctant.

"Hahaha, do the generals think that it is a bit too flattering for me to invite them as the chief general? In fact, it is not the case. I, Lu Bu, said that I am the chief general of an army, but I am actually just a warrior. After this meeting with Beigong Boyu In this battle, I found that you all lost your temper. This is not a good thing. A soldier who is arrogant will lose. Today I want you to remember that you must not be proud at any time, and you must take all of your opponents seriously." Lu Buzhi So the main reason for wanting to welcome Ma Chao was because he knew that Ma Chao was coming, and Lu Bu didn't want to leave an arrogant image in front of Ma Chao.It must be that Lu Bu still wants to get Ma Chao very much.

When Lu Bu came to the door, he saw two people waiting at the door, it was Ma Chao and Yan Xing.

"Haha, General Ma Chao, General Words and Deeds, what kind of wind brought you two here, Lu Bu is really happy. Come on, please sit inside." Seeing Ma Chao and Yan Xing, Lu Bu rushed up and said.

"Brother Lu Bu, I have good news for you. Beigong Boyu is dead." Seeing Lu Bu coming out, Ma Chao rushed to meet him and said excitedly.

"Oh, this is really good news. I don't know who killed Beigong Boyu. I will definitely report it to the court and reward him." Seeing Ma Chao's excited look, Lu Bu thought it was Ma Chao who killed Beigong Boyu, so he followed suit. .

"It's unnecessary. Beigong Boyu is also our enemy. Killing him is also to eliminate harm for us. There is no need for Dong Zhuo's reward. If General Lu Bu wants a reward, he can say that he killed it himself." Lu Bu As soon as the words fell, Yan Xing on the side said calmly.

"Yan Xing, you are so brave, dare to be rude to my son, do you think I, Dian Wei, will not kill people?" Hearing Yan Xing's rude words, Dian Wei behind Lu Bu couldn't help but said, saying Then he was about to rush forward to kill Yan Xing.

"Dian Wei, Yan Xing is just a mad dog. We were bitten by a dog, so we can't bite the dog." Seeing Dian Wei was about to step forward, Lu Bu said after stretching out his arms to embrace him.

"My lord, although we can't bite dogs, it doesn't mean we can't eat dog meat." Zang Ba stood up suddenly and said harshly to Yan Xing.

"Uh, two generals, we actually have important matters to see Brother Lu Bu. The two generals should stop joking."

"Hmph, General Lu Bu, we are here on behalf of Ma Teng and Han Sui. General Lu Bu's reputation spreads far and wide. Could this be your way of hospitality?" Yan Xing saw Lu Bu's generals speaking one by one. Not good, so he restrained himself a bit.

"Haha, although Lu Bu is vulgar, he also knows how to guide guests, you two, please come inside." After speaking, Lu Bu led Ma Chao and Yan Xing into the hall.

"Brother Lu Bu, this is a letter jointly signed by my father and my uncle." After arriving in the hall, Ma Chao feared that Yan Xing would have some quarrel with Lu Bu when he spoke, so he went forward and handed a letter to Lu Bu.

"Oh, it turned out to be a joint letter from the two adults. I want to read it carefully." Lu Bu took a look at the letter, thought for a while, and handed the letter to Zhang Liao.

"Here, did the general let me read the letter?" Seeing that Lu Bu was the first to give the letter to him, Zhang Liao was taken aback for a moment. Zhang Liao didn't expect that Lu Bu would let him read the letter, and it was Lu Bu who gave it to him after reading it. Originally, Zhang Liao I still wonder if it is necessary to avoid suspicion at such a time. Zhang Liao must not be a direct descendant of Lu Bu, and some confidential things still need to be avoided.However, Lu Bu's behavior was that he completely regarded Zhang Liao as his confidant, which made Zhang Liao surprised. After all, Zhang Liao was not yet Lu Bu's direct descendant.

"Look, after you finish reading, pass it on to the generals. I want to hear what you think." Lu Bu nodded to Zhang Liao with certainty.

"General Lu Bu, it's better that fewer people know about this matter." Seeing this situation, Yan Xing couldn't help but said.

"Haha, actually there is nothing in the letter. Han Sui and Ma Teng said that they want to give us the head of Beigong Boyu so that we can repay Luoyang. In addition, they will withdraw from Longxi and give Longxi to our army. As for the conditions, our army is not allowed to set foot in Xiliang. What do you guys think of their proposal?" Lu Bu laughed, and directly stated the contents of the letter.

"Everything, but let the general decide." After reading the letter, Zhang Liao passed the letter out and saluted Lu Bu.

"But general, please decide." As soon as Zhang Liao finished speaking, all the generals said at the same time.

"Hahaha, I, Lu Bu, is only the deputy commander of the Western Expedition Army. This kind of thing cannot be completely decided, but I, Lu Bu, can guarantee that if I have not received new orders, I, Lu Bu, will never push forward like Xiliang." All the generals are only looking forward to him, Lu Bu said to Ma Chao and Yan Xing with certainty.

"Okay, big brother Lu Bu, as long as you have this sentence, it will be fine." Seeing that Lu Bu agreed, Ma Chao said happily.

"Since General Lu Bu has agreed, I hope that General Lu Bu will not break his promise. Let's take our leave now." Words and deeds also stood up.

"Why did you leave so soon? You haven't been in Fufeng Panheng for two days." Seeing Yan Xing and Ma Chao who were about to leave, Lu Bu said.But everyone could see that Lu Bu's words were aimed at Ma Chao.

"Brother Lu Bu, we have all received strict orders. After finishing our work, we must leave immediately. I can only appreciate Brother Lu Bu's kindness. But I do have a matter here, and I need my help. One of my brothers is named Pang De, I was seriously injured in the battle with the Qiang people, and I need some time for proper treatment, so I can’t go back with me, and I ask Brother Lu Bu to take good care of me for a while, Ma Chao is very grateful.” Hearing Lu Bu’s persuasion, Ma Chao felt a little nervous. Rejected helplessly.But before leaving, he entrusted Pang De to Lu Bu.
