Lu Bu, God of War of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 585 Removing Ma Chao
"Thank you, King Regent, for your generosity. Forgive me for my crime." Hearing that Lu Bu's words had not changed at this time, Ma Chao felt a little calmer, but he still had some doubts about Lu Bu's future actions.

"Young Master, there is absolutely something wrong at this time." Unlike Ma Chao's desire to reconcile for Ma Yunlu, Ma Dai was more concerned with the situation after Lu Bu and Li conquered Xiliang, so he hurriedly said.

"Although our brothers reconciled at this time, these people who want to kill me cannot be forgiven lightly. Otherwise, what is my prestige and how can I rule the world?" At this moment, Lu Bu suddenly turned cold, Zou Zhong His words changed suddenly, and my sister said, "Let's do it."

As Lu Bu's Chinese voice came out, among the Xiliang iron cavalry surrounding Ma Chao and Lu Bu, some soldiers immediately drew out the knives around their waists and slashed at the comrades beside them.When these Xiliang iron cavalry appeared just now, although they were neatly dressed, Lu Buchang noticed the difference at a glance. Xiliang iron cavalry had the habit of being equipped with lances and waist knives, but usually they were equipped with scimitars. Most of them are equipped with Central Plains-style waist knives, but the Xiliang cavalry that Lu Bu saw today were obviously equipped with two types of sabers, which made Lu Bu suspicious until there were soldiers with Central Plains-style waist knives. Nodding to Lv Bu, Lv Bu finally realized that these people should be secretly arranged by Jia Xu, the teachers and students from Longxi Armed Forces School.

And when the Xiliang Iron Knights surrounded Lu Bu, Ma Chao and others, the teachers and students of the Longxi Armed Forces School obviously gathered around Lu Bu, and intentionally or unintentionally separated the Xiliang Iron Knights around them. , obviously for the convenience of beheading in case of sudden time.Seeing these Lu Bu felt more confident, thinking back then that Lu Bu was able to rule the world with five thousand wolf riders. At this time, although there were only about 2000 teachers and students in Longxi Armed Forces School, the wolf riders would not lag behind in combat power. Confidence fought against the Xiliang iron cavalry in front of him, and it would not be difficult to escape.It's just that Ma Yunlu has been reluctant to meet Ma Chao with swords. He hopes that Ma Chao will find his way back, and it has been delayed for so long.

"What's the matter? There are spies." Seeing that the Xiliang iron cavalry around him suddenly started killing each other, Ma Dai was shocked and turned pale. He never thought that the Xiliang iron cavalry Z that he relied on would actually hide Lu Bu's identity. people.

"Don't move, if you move again, I will send you back to your hometown." Just when Ma Dai was about to summon the soldiers to resist, a cold long knife was placed on Ma Dai's neck. Appeared behind Ma Dai.

"How could it be you?" When Ma Dai turned around slowly and saw the face of the person coming, he was suddenly startled and broke out in a cold sweat. The person in front of Ma Dai was naturally very familiar. Not long ago, Ma Dai had someone send Dian Wei away, but he didn't expect Dian Wei to be by his side.

"Boom." At this moment, the sound of rumbling horseshoes sounded, causing dust to fly around. Immediately afterwards, two soldiers and horses surrounded them, one from the left and the other from the right. These two soldiers and horses were well-trained and well-equipped, but People who were familiar with military affairs quickly learned their identities from the accessories on their bodies. They were the soldiers of the Zhenghuang Banner and Xianghuang Banner brought by Lu Bu from Luoyang.

"Hehehe, I thought I was in control of the whole situation. How could I have thought that everything was in the regent's calculations. Today I fell into the hands of the regent, so please let the regent handle it as he pleases. It's just that today's matter has nothing to do with my sister. Please don't implicate my sister because of my affairs, please treat her well." At this time, Ma Chao finally understood that he wanted to kill Lu Bu to avenge Ma Teng, but it was just wishful thinking. With his current strength, With regard to the talent reserve, even if all the organs are exhausted, they still cannot compete with Lu Bu. The difference in intelligence and military strength is already too far.

"Husband, my brother was just confused for a while, please forgive me and don't harm my brother. Husband can take back all the power and soldiers in his hands, but please don't take his life." Seeing that Lu Buyuan came to win, While Ma Yunlu was overjoyed, he couldn't help worrying about Ma Chao's life. Who in the world can tolerate a subordinate who is not loyal to him and even wants to kill him?

"Don't worry, Yunlu. If I want to kill my virtuous brother, why wait until today? I came to Xiliang this time to pay homage to Ma Teng, the king of Xiliang, and secondly, to confirm my virtuous brother's feelings for me." Now that my virtuous brother is able to know his way back when he lost his way, what I just said naturally counts. My virtuous brother can immediately take over the seal of the king of Xiliang, and the position of General Zhengxi is also my virtuous brother's, but I trust my virtuous brother, all civil and military officials in the court However, I may not trust my virtuous younger brother, who needs to give an explanation to the court, lest others say that I am partial." Regarding Ma Yunlu's request, Lu Bu patted him on the shoulder lightly, expressing that he did not need to worry.

"This?" Hearing Lu Bu's words, Ma Yunlu's heart that had just let go became nervous again. He was a little confused, what was needed to impress Lu Bu and convince the ministers in the court that Ma Chao would not rebel again.

"Hehe, okay, what the regent said is that after learning today's lesson, I should indeed give an explanation to the court." As he spoke, Ma Chao raised a single knife, swung it hard, and wanted to chop off his hand, but it turned out to be He wanted to use one of his arms to express his feelings to Lu Bu.

"Brother, don't want it." Seeing this scene, Ma Yunlu's eyes blurred immediately, and he pounced on him, and Ma Dai on the other side even pounced on him, stopping Ma Chao.

"The regent, my young master, was originally thinking of the love of the eldest lady, and was unwilling to do anything to the regent. It was only because of my instigation that he did such a foolish thing. I am willing to sacrifice my own head. I beg the regent, let my young master go." Ma Dai knelt on the ground and bowed to Lu Bu and said.

"I don't want to hurt my younger brother either, so how about it? In this case, I think my younger brother should go back to Luoyang with me." At this time, Lu Bu sighed, and then said.

Originally, Ma Chao was a rare general. Lu Bu wanted to use Ma Chao and let him work for him, so he sent Ma Chao to Xiliang. But with today's events, it will be difficult to establish a relationship between Lu Bu and Ma Chao in the future. The relationship of trust is hindering Ma Yunlu, and Lu Bu can't do anything to Ma Chao, so the best way at present is to bring Ma Chao back to Luoyang.

"As for you, Ma Dai, you are considered a talent. I will punish you to serve in the Xiliang Army. I hope you can make up for it." Although Ma Dai has been urging Ma Chao to kill Lu Bu, Ma Dai is a loyal person. Lu Bu took Ma Chao away, so Ma Dai naturally didn't dare to mess around in Xiliang, and having Ma Dai here can also prevent the soldiers and horses of Xiliang from becoming disorganized after Ma Chao left because they lost their commander.

"Thank you Regent for not killing me." Hearing Lu Bu's words, Ma Dai finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although Lu Bu finally broke his promise and did not keep Ma Chao in Xiliang, the situation is much better now. At the same time, he also saved the Xiliang iron cavalry that Ma Chao painstakingly established in Xiliang.

After the matter in Xiliang was resolved, Lu Bu returned to Luoyang with Ma Chao and Ma Yunlu. Although the development of the matter was somewhat different from Lu Bu's hope, fortunately it did not cause much loss.

"Regent, General Zhang Liao sent a military report, saying that the soldiers and horses from Yongzhou had arrived in Hanzhong. Now Hanzhong has been controlled by General Zhang Liao. General Zhang Liao wanted to ask the prince if he would take this opportunity to attack Yizhou." At this time, Xun Xun Yu suddenly walked in and reported to Lu Bu.It turned out that because Jia Xu was worried about the affairs of Liangzhou, he only sent a small number of troops to Hanzhong to help out. At this time, as soon as the Liangzhou incident was resolved, Jia Xu sent more troops to Hanzhong, so that Zhang Liao had soldiers in his hands. The horse moved Yizhou's mind again.

"Hehehe, if Zhang Liao can win Yizhou, it would be a good thing. What do you think about this matter, Mr. Bu?" Hearing Xun Yu's report, Lu Bu laughed and asked Guo Jia beside him.

"My lord, the two generals Cheng Yu and Gao Shun from Hebei also sent battle reports, saying that preparations for the battle of Hebei have been made. The preliminary plan is that General Zhang He will lead troops to attack other cities in Jizhou, while General Gao Shun will lead troops to attack Yuan Tan. The Youzhou where you are located, please give instructions from the Regent." Jia Xu stood up, and did not directly answer Lv Bu's question, but saluted Lv Bu and talked about the Hebei affairs.

"Well, if we fight on two fronts, it will cause a great burden on our army's food and supplies. Although we may not be unable to afford it, it seems that there is no need to exhaust the country's power when we fully grasp the initiative. Let's change the two things one by one." Hearing Guo Jia's words, Lu Bu thought for a while, but he already understood Guo Jia's meaning. The land in Hebei is fertile and rich in products, and Jizhou is rich in money and food. It was a good time for Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi to formally send troops. If they used troops in Yizhou at this time, the battle line would be too long, and the court's power would be exhausted too.

"My lord clearly sees that although General Zhang Liao has already controlled Hanzhong, Zhang Lu, the king of Hanzhong, has been in Hanzhong for many years and is deeply loved by the people. I'm afraid that General Zhang Liao may not be able to really control the situation in Hanzhong, let alone the matter of sending troops to Yizhou. The regent and the king will not send someone to recruit the king of Hanzhong to Luoyang, so that Hanzhong can be stable." I heard Lu Bu's words. meaning, Xun Yu said again.

"Hehe, sir is right, sir will handle this matter." Lu Bu waved his hand and Xun Yu stepped back, and then said to Guo Jia next to him: "You should also go and prepare, and meet with me in a few days Let's go to Yecheng together, and the matter in Hebei should also be over."
