Lu Bu, God of War of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 473 The Death of Ma Teng
"Ma Teng, I will give you one last chance to surrender to me. As long as you swear not to rebel, you will still be the Bingzhou Shepherd of our Han Dynasty." Said to the top of the tower.

"General, although we are at a disadvantage, we haven't reached an irreparable situation. General, it is still too late to retreat. The moon is dark and the wind is high, so Lu Bu may not be able to stop us from leaving." I heard Lu Bu's words outside the city. , Ma Dai next to Ma Teng already knew that the defeat was certain, but Ma Dai was not completely disappointed, and said a step closer to Ma Teng.

"Hahaha, no need, I, Ma Teng, suffered this defeat because I was self-willed and self-defeating, what to do with the soldiers of the three armies, and why let the soldiers of the three armies accompany me to die, I, Ma Teng, have a great reputation and cannot be ruined For a while, let me do things alone. Ma Dai, I will entrust Chao’er to you, and you have to take care of him for me.” Hearing Ma Dai’s words, Ma Teng laughed loudly, with a A relaxed look after letting go of a burden.

"General Lu Bu, I, Ma Teng, seldom admire anyone, but your strength is outstanding. In just a few years, you have established such a huge foundation. I, Ma Teng, admire you so much. Today, I, Ma Teng, attacked Chang'an , I offended the general, Ma Teng, I will explain this to the general, but I, the men and my sons, please ask General Lu Bu to be lenient and treat him well." After talking to Ma Dai, Ma Teng turned to face Lu Bu under the city continued.

"General Ma Teng, don't worry, these people are good men of my big man, how could I, Lu Bu, harm them." Although he didn't know what Ma Teng was going to do, his intuition made Lu Bu feel that what happened next should be beneficial to him, So he followed Ma Teng's words.

"Chao'er, from now on, you can do what you want to do. I, Ma Teng, have finished what I want to do." After saying this, everyone saw Ma Teng suddenly jumping up and down. Jumped down from the tall tower of Chang'an City.

"Father? Don't want it?" Ma Chao, who was entangled with Dian Wei, suddenly felt a bad feeling when he heard these words. Thinking of Ma Teng's previous words, Ma Chao was startled, and turned around and ran quickly. It was too late.

Amidst everyone's astonishment, Ma Teng's body crashed to the ground, and soldiers hurried over, but they saw that Ma Teng had only breathed out, not breathed in.

"Father." At this moment, Ma Chao jumped off the horse, hugged Ma Teng's body which had begun to freeze, and cried bitterly.

"Come on, hurry up and invite the doctor." At this time, Lu Bu had also come to Ma Teng's side, and said loudly to everyone.At the same time, a soldier who came to Ma Teng's side first turned to look at Lu Bu, and shook his head slightly at Lu Bu, saying that Ma Teng was completely hopeless, but even so, the old troops who wanted to subdue Ma Teng However, Lu Bu still had to do some superficial work.Lu Bu believed that even if Ma Teng was rescued at this time, there would be no further rebellion, because Lu Bu had made up his mind that he would never let Ma Teng leave Chang'an in the future, just like Zhang Ji, let him live in Chang'an for the rest of his life , then Ma Chao will naturally no longer have the heart to resist.

Not long after, some soldiers came with the doctors in the army, but at this time Ma Teng's body was already cold, and he had completely lost his vitality. How could he be saved by medical skills.

Seeing that the doctor also shook his head to himself, Lu Bu came to Ma Chao and said, "It's cold in the middle of the night, so let's take General Ma Teng into the city first. Since you left, the General's Mansion has been empty, you take Ma Teng first." Where should the general rest for the night, let's make arrangements for the funeral." Lu Bu's words showed that he had completely regarded himself as the master of Chang'an City, and Lu Bu believed that after Ma Teng's death, the whole of Chang'an would return to his hands. Not only that, the soldiers and horses brought by Ma Teng this time, as well as the entire Bingzhou, will also be annexed by Lu Bu.

"Father, I'll take you home." Hearing Lu Bu's words, Ma Chao did not answer. Ma Teng must have died in the battle with Lu Bu. The thing is that it has something to do with Lu Bu. At this time, Ma Chao is in such a state of confusion that he has no time to think about the relationship with Lu Bu in the future. At this time, he can only put aside the entanglement with Lu Bu and focus on Ma Teng's affairs wholeheartedly. Funeral, but on this point, Lu Bu's approach obviously satisfied Ma Chao, because Lu Bu let them go back to the General's Mansion, but it undoubtedly showed that even though Ma Teng died, he could enter Tibet according to the General's regulations, not And state pastoral regulation.

As Ma Chao brought Ma Teng's body to the gate of Chang'an City, the gate was also opened from the inside, and the first general to walk out was Ma Dai who finally accepted Ma Teng's care.

Ma Chao can ignore Lu Bu, but Ma Dai is a smart man, but he can't help but care about Lu Bu's existence. When he saw Lu Bu, he quickly walked a few steps to Lu Bu, bowed his head and said: "The criminal Ma Dai, lead the soldiers to Lu Bu. Please, General." Following Ma Dai's bowing, all the soldiers of Ma Teng's army also bowed down one after another, expressing their surrender to Lu Bu, and Ma Teng was sure to die, and the only thing they could do to survive was to surrender to Lu Bu.At this time, only the three thousand Xiliang cavalry behind Ma Chao did not bow down. They were Ma Chao's men and horses, and they were only loyal to Ma Chao. At this time, Ma Chao did not bow down to Lu Bu, but they all bowed their heads. , failure is also an indisputable fact.

"Let you and the others gather outside the city and surrender to our army. After finishing these, you can go back to the general's mansion and help arrange General Ma Teng's funeral. As for the regulations of General Ma Teng's funeral, I still need to enter the city Afterwards, please report to Your Majesty, and please make your Majesty's order." Unlike Ma Dai's mood at this time, Lu Bu knew that Ma Teng was able to kill Ma Teng and force Ma Teng's army to surrender this time. , the most important thing at this time is to take over Ma Teng's military horses, disarm them and reorganize them.

At this time, Ma Chao was in a state of disarray, obviously he had no intention of fighting for power and profit, and since Ma Dai had already fought in front of Lu Bu, it meant that Ma Dai had also lost the right to bargain with Lu Bu, but Lu Bu still focused on comforting him, saying that he would After reporting to the emperor at this time, the regulation of Ma Teng's funeral is not conducive to making another wish for Ma Dai.Although Lu Bu had the final say in the court, no one would object to giving the dead Ma Teng an official, but if he could, Emperor Xian would personally admit it, and even let Emperor Xian attend Ma Teng's funeral. Maarten's best consolation.

"Thank you, Taiwei, I'll do it now." After speaking, Ma Dai, surrounded by Dian Wei and a group of wolf knights, led the rest of Ma Teng's army out of the city and surrendered.At this time, Xun Chen had already brought his 3 troops to the outside of Chang'an City, and while accepting the surrender of Ma Teng's army, he separated and reorganized these surrendered troops.These Ma Teng troops who surrendered will first be turned into unarmed grain storage soldiers. After a period of time, excellent soldiers will be selected from them to join the grain storage soldiers that can carry weapons. After a period of training, the elite can be selected Join Lu Bu's elite troops.And this is the standard way of dealing with surrendered troops formulated by Lu Bu after accepting many surrendered troops.Thereby ensuring the loyalty of the army to Lu Bu.

"Your Excellency, you are back." At this time, Cheng Lian had already rushed over with his troops, and bowed to Lu Bu, his eyes were already wet. Cheng Lian knew clearly the hardships of this battle. Well, the battle has been fought for this sake, and even a tough man like Cheng Lian couldn't help but weep with joy.

"You worked hard. You did a good job in this battle, but you have to work hard to arrange things in the city." Lu Bu stepped forward and patted Cheng Lian on the shoulder, comforting him.

As the city of Chang'an gradually quieted down, a pair of cavalry came outside the palace, causing the guards on the top of the palace to panic. Ever since Ma Teng's army invaded Chang'an, there was already a panic in the imperial city, but there was silence afterwards. But it made the people in the imperial city full of hope, and now they are nervous again when they see the cavalry coming.But when they saw clearly that the person in front of them was Lu Bu, a burst of cheers came from their mouths, and they finally understood what had happened.

"General Lu Bu, are you back?" Xun Yu walked out of the palace with a group of princes and ministers, and said to Lu Bu with a salute.After a group of ministers, Emperor Xian slowly showed his figure. When Ma Teng's army attacked the city, they were ready to escape from the city. Naturally, they had not dispersed at this time, but they just came out to meet Lu Bu.

"General, you are back." At this moment, a woman came out surrounded by many daughters' homes, but it was Cai Yan who came out with a group of women.

"I'm relieved to see that you are all well." Seeing all the women, Lu Bu nodded and smiled.Suddenly looking at these women, Lu Bu frowned slightly and asked, "Where did Linger go?" Because Lu Bu didn't see Zhang Linger among the crowd.

"Sister Ling'er is a little weak, and she is resting in the carriage. The general will go to see you later." Hearing Lu Bu's words, Cai Yan pouted slightly annoyed, and pointed to a fragrant chariot not far away.It turned out that Zhang Ling'er had just cast the spell, and at this time she was exhausted and was resting in the incense car.However, Cai Yan did not say these things. The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty and Emperor Xian must be watching here. Although Lu Bu has power in the court, he cannot leave these people aside and only care about each other with his family .

"Your Majesty, the crisis in Chang'an City has been resolved. Please return to the palace to rest." Lu Bu knew Cai Yan's meaning, took a step forward, and said to Emperor Xian. Alright."
