Lu Bu, God of War of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 584 Ma Chao Regrets
"What happened back then, if I told you that I didn't expect everything and didn't have time to arrange it, would you believe it?" Lu Bu glanced at Ma Chao, who was full of chills, and continued, "No matter who arranged the things back then, Yes, this person is planning for me, so even if you think that I did everything back then, and that my father, Lu Bu, must die, there is nothing wrong with it. Now so many years have passed, and now, you If you still want to kill me to avenge your father, then do it. I, Lu Bu, have killed people like hemp in this life, and I don’t care if I remember a few more souls under my sword.” By this time, Ma Chao had already bared his teeth. However, Lu Bu was not worried. Jia Xu must have arranged in advance, and the soldiers and horses of the Zhenghuang Banner and Xianghuang Banner he brought with him were definitely not vegetarians. Take a look, Ma Chao's final decision, whether he and Ma Chao are going to break up, or whether there will be a turning point, all depends on Ma Chao's thought.

"Hahaha, sure enough, once upon a time, in my heart, you were the person I, Ma Chao, admired the most, and the god of war in my heart, but revenge is irreconcilable, and I have to repay it, even if I want to take this life. But I have another question to ask you, why did you let me return to Xiliang, why did you let me regain control of the military, you have a lot of advisers, and you are also very resourceful, so you shouldn't have missed today's ending." At this point When Ma Chao felt that he was in a deadlock, he firmly grasped it, so he asked.

Ma Chao knew very well in his heart that Lu Bu had hesitated and struggled on whether to use him back then, but in the end Lu Bu still chose to return to Xiliang to take charge of military affairs instead of trapping himself in Chang'an for the rest of his life, otherwise Chao himself would never have the situation he is in today, and Lu Bu would not have the crisis he is in today.

"Hehehe, good question." Hearing Ma Chao's question, Lu Bu chuckled, and then said, "Dare to ask my dear brother, what have you seen when you returned to Xiliang these years? What do you think?"

"This?" Hearing Lu Bu's question, Ma Chao fell into deep thought, and then said after a while, "Since I came back to Xiliang, the biggest feeling I have is that I am a big man, after these years of chaos, I have no feelings for the frontier. Negligence, although Xiliang is the birthplace of your Lu Bu forces, there are often foreign invasions on the border. These years, taking advantage of the war in the Central Plains, the foreign forces have indeed developed rapidly. Although it has not been long since you returned to Xiliang , but there have been dozens of conflicts with the foreign race, and the growth of the foreign race is indeed worrying." Speaking of this, Ma Chao not only frowned, he was obviously very worried about this matter.

"That's why I asked you to return to Xiliang to command the soldiers and horses." Seeing Ma Chao finished speaking, Lu Bu also sighed, and then added: "Thinking of me as a big man, I have a long history and a lot of talents, but I have always been deeply involved In the quagmire of fighting, I couldn't extricate myself, so that the foreigners around me continued to grow, and even threatened the survival of my big man. At that time, the Chu and Han fought against each other, so that the Xiongnu became bigger. Only then did the Huns flee far away, and the great man was able to enjoy peace. Now the great man is weak, first there was the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and then there were princes fighting for hegemony. Let the first emperor come to Xiliang because he wanted to ask Xiandi to confiscate the western frontier for my great man, and if conditions permit, cut off the Xianbei's wings and keep our great man safe."

"Hahaha, what you think is right, but it's a pity that I may not believe you. My father died indirectly at your hands. Do you still want me to guard the frontier for you and keep your country safe? You are big It's a good idea." Hearing what Lu Bu said, Ma Chao couldn't help but sneered and said.

"Hahaha, it's so difficult that the first emperor didn't understand my intentions, did he think that I would have to go through a lot and shout to become self-reliant?" After hearing Ma Chao's words, Lu Bu laughed and said, "I don't want to be emperor, so I want to be emperor." Only eight other princes were canonized to assist the government with me. Once the situation stabilizes, I will resign as the prime minister. What I have to do is to end the autocratic monarchy system in this land and expand the power of the Han nation to a greater extent. Big space. Brother, do you know what is behind this desert?" Lu Bu pointed to the west while speaking.Then he turned around and said again: "My dear brother, do you know what is on the other side of the sea?"

"This? Are you also interested in the matter of becoming an immortal?" Naturally, Ma Chao would not know what lies beyond the vast desert, let alone what lies beyond the sea. He only heard that Emperor Qin once sent a fleet out to sea. Looking for immortals, so some dragons said.

"Hehe, I'm not like a fairy, and I don't know what's behind this desert, let alone what's on the other side of the sea. I want my descendants to know and open up a new world for them. I don't know Is the late emperor interested, and would you like to fulfill this wish with me?" Lu Bu clearly saw a twitch on Ma Chao's face. When the foreigners were about to move, killing each other on his side would indeed cause a crisis for the whole big man, yes Once the news of Lu Bu's sudden killing spread, Lu Bu's son, Lu Gan, obviously did not have the ability to control Lu Bu's forces at this time. Give the foreigners who are already planning a chance to invade the Central Plains.And Lu Bu's dream also moved Ma Chao. Ma Chao, who had been facing the vast desert since he was a child, also wanted to know what is at the end of the desert, is it a new world?And the other side of the sea is even more fascinating. According to Ma Chao's cognition, it is just a legendary thing. Does he really have the opportunity to explore this endless secret?

"Young master, how can the old master not avenge his deep hatred?" Ma Dai, who was at the side after this incident, saw Ma Chao's wavering, and suddenly said.

"Father's hatred must be avenged. Lu Bu, no matter how much you say today, it will be in vain." Hearing Ma Dai's voice, Ma Chao was startled immediately, and stopped thinking about it.

"Stop, if you want to kill my husband, step over my corpse first." At this moment, a soft but firm voice came, and then a slightly frail figure came over, and someone came It is none other than Ma Yunlu.

"Sister, why are you here?" Seeing Ma Yunlu's arrival, Ma Chao obviously didn't expect it, and suddenly became a little dazed.

"Brother, my father has passed away. If my father is alive in heaven, I would not want to see you and me like this today." Facing Ma Chao, Ma Yunlu burst into tears, standing in front of Ma Chao with some sobs.

"Yunlu, you should be happy that I avenged my father. Don't you want to avenge your father?" Seeing Ma Yunlu protecting Lu Bu, Ma Chao said.

"Brother, what can you do if you kill my husband? Can my father survive? Even if my brother kills my husband today, can you be spared? Can I live well if my husband dies at the hands of my brother?" Do you want to go down? I think my father is in heaven, and I don’t want to see our family perish from now on, right?” Ma Yunlu said with tears streaming down his face, crumbling, almost praying to Ma Chao.

"Sister, today, do you think I can turn back?" Seeing Ma Yunlu like this, Ma Chao also burst into tears. Obviously he was very reluctant to see the situation in front of him, but now, this situation is not what Ma Chao said. If you hold back, you can stop. After this incident, Ma Shou's Xiliang cavalry must have surrounded Lu Bu. Even if Ma Chao wanted to stop, it would be difficult for Lu Bu to settle the score. Even if Ma Chao would rather be executed by Lu Bu for Ma Yunlu , so what about these soldiers?It is also a capital offense for them to follow Ma Chao in order to murder Lu Bu.

"If my virtuous brother is willing to stop at this time, I am willing to grant you the seat of Xiliang king today, and let you guard Xiliang forever. From then on, Xiliang soldiers and horses will only listen to the instructions and not to the announcement during your lifetime, how about it? "At this time, it was finally time for Lu Bu to speak, so Lu Bu stood up, walked to Ma Yunlu, and said to Ma Chao.

According to Lu Bu's meaning, Ma Chao has not only been the king of Xiliang since then, but has almost become the emperor of Xiliang. More importantly, Lu Bu also gave Ma Chao all the soldiers and horses of Xiliang.The so-called listening to the tune and not listening to the announcement is to tell Ma Chao that from then on Ma Chao and even Xiliang soldiers and horses do not need to go to the court to worship, but they still belong to the big man in name.

"Young master, you can't listen to Lu Bu's one-sided words. If you let Lu Bu go today, it will definitely bring disaster to Xiliang in the future." Seeing that Ma Chao was about to retreat, Ma Dai said hastily.

"Ma Dai, do you want to see our Ma family be exterminated?" Hearing what Ma Dai said, Ma Yunlu suddenly won and roared angrily at Ma Dai.

"Where do you start with this? I have always been loyal to the young master, so why would I want to kill someone from the Ma family? What's more, I, Ma Dai, is also a member of the Ma family." Hearing Ma Yunlu's words, Ma Dai suddenly froze. Surprised, he spoke in a panic.

"Ma Chao, it's up to you to express your opinion. The real purpose of my long journey to Xiliang is to know your attitude. Although I am surprised by today's situation, there is nothing I can do for the Ma family. That's all." At this moment, Lu Bu started to speak, although Lu Bu's words were addressed to Ma Chao, but the meaning in the painting was to tell Ma Yunlu beside him that he had done his best.The reason why I didn't make a move until now, but waiting for Ma Chao's final decision, is to give Ma Chao a chance. If Ma Chao is still obsessed with it, Lu Bu can only kill him.

"The offender deserves to die, please forgive me by the Regent." After a long silence, Ma Chao finally made up his mind, prostrated himself to Lu Bu Danxi, and said.

"Okay, if you can turn back when you are lost, it means that I have read the right person. My words have already counted. From now on, you will be the king of Xiliang, and you will also be my great man's general who conquers the west. In the future, my great man's territory will cover I’ll leave it to you for the east, west, north and south of this desert.” Seeing that Ma Chao finally decided to put down the butcher’s knife and reconcile with himself, a stone in Lu Bu’s heart finally fell to the ground, and he said to Lu Bu, his words were sonorous and powerful, and he did not look like a trapped man at all. man of.
