Chapter 422
A few days later, all the soldiers of the Yangzhou Army suddenly discovered that there was a gorgeous landscape in the barracks.A woman in pink and plain clothes with tangled hair often goes in and out of Dianwei's camp.And from time to time, there would be some fighting sounds in the camp, just as everyone was whispering to each other, Zhao Lei issued an order to announce the marriage of Dian Wei and Ma Yunlu, which caused an uproar among the people.At first, everyone thought that Ma Yunlu was only here to visit relatives in the Yangzhou army, but they didn't expect that they would also come in now and stay in Yangzhou.

As a result, those subordinates who secretly accompanied Ma Yunlu to Yangzhou couldn't sit still anymore, they jumped out from every corner outside Moling City, and rushed towards Yangzhou Governor's Mansion, trying to prevent Ma Yunlu from falling into Zhao Lei's trap before she got married .

Yangzhou governor's mansion, main hall.

In the left row of the hall stood Jia Xu, Zhang Han, Guo Jia, Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong and others in turn, while in the right row stood Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao and others.Ma Chao, Dian Wei, and Ma Yunjue stood in the middle, and behind them stood a large group of people from Xiliang. They were Ma Teng's subordinates who accompanied Ma Yunjue to Yangzhou this time.

"Zhao Inspector, his subordinate Liangzhou Master Cheng Yin, boldly asked Zhao Inspector to see my lord's face to cancel this marriage, and agreed to bring the young lord back to Liangzhou. The young lord is the eldest son of the lord, and he will definitely marry him in the future. Take over the position of the lord of my family and serve as the prefect of Xiliang, defending the northwest frontier for the great man. I have long heard that the governor of Zhao is reasonable, so I hope that the governor of Zhao can agree to these two things, and Yangzhou and Liangzhou will not be hurt by these trivial matters. Be kind." Cheng Yin said.

"Hmph! That old guy Ma Teng, what kind of friendship is there with me? If it wasn't for Ma Chao's face, I would have slaughtered all of these people long ago." Zhao Lei thought to himself after hearing Cheng Yin's words.

But I want to think about it, but I can't say it. At this time, I still have to talk about the scene.So Zhao Lei said to Ma Chao: "Meng Qi, I have long expected such a day. I remember that I said at the time that no matter what you decide in the future, I will respect it. So this time it is up to you whether to leave or stay."

"Brother..." Zhao Yun just wanted to speak to stop him, but was stared at by Zhang Han on the opposite side, and retracted what he wanted to say.

"My lord, I..." Ma Chao hesitated at the moment.

"Young master, you have not been in Liangzhou these years, but my lord has lost a lot of weight. I miss you every day without thinking about eating and drinking, and hope that you can return to his side." Cheng Yin heard that Zhao Lei asked Ma Chao to make a decision. My heart is so happy!Originally, he thought that the biggest difficulty in bringing Ma Chao back this time was that he was afraid of Zhao Lei's obstruction, but now, Zhao Lei didn't care, and it was much easier to recall Ma Chao this way.

But having said that, Ma Teng's team originally expected Ma Yunjue to persuade Ma Chao to go back, but they didn't expect that the plan could not keep up with the changes, and Ma Yunjue fell into it by himself, so they were forced to show up and confront Zhao Lei directly, and then they got it The current situation.

Ma Chao said at this moment: "Master Cheng, go back and tell my father that I, Ma Chao, will not go back again. I am very happy in the Yangzhou Army, and this is my home."

Ma Chao's words stunned Cheng Yin like a bolt from the blue, and he stammered, "Young master...you heard me right? You?...don't want to go back?"

Ma Chao nodded and said, "Although I am the son of the prefect of Xiliang, I can't hinder my development. My lord treats me with great kindness. Even though I know my background, she still trusts me very much and never hides anything from me." Brother Zilong treated me like my own brother in the military camp. May I ask how could I, Ma Chao, be so ungrateful and ignore my lord's kindness for nurturing me over the years, and go back to Yangzhou with you? As for Yunmei, she has already decided to marry For Dian Wei, you can’t stop her. She happens to have a company with me when she stays in Yangzhou, so my father doesn’t have to worry about it. Mr. Cheng, please pass on what I said to my father!”

"My lord, you can't do this! You haven't seen the days without you, my lord shed tears every day and was heartbroken. Do you have the heart to let your father live like this every day, my lord?" Cheng Yin saw Ma Chao It seems to be very firm and can only play the emotional card.

"You can't have both, and I think I will have a better development in Yangzhou, and Xiliang is located in the frontier, and it will be annexed by Dong Zhuo sooner or later. From my point of view, I hope that my father can pour the land of Liangzhou." The soldiers came to seek refuge with the lord, and this situation will not be contradictory soon." Ma Chao said.

Ma Chao's words almost made Cheng Yin cry, what kind of nonsense is this!Ma Teng was actually asked to surrender to Zhao Lei. Did Ma Chao take the wrong medicine?

"Okay, Mr. Cheng, I think you should have heard Meng Qi's words! I didn't force him to do this, but he voluntarily stayed with me. As for the matter of Ma Yunjue and Dianwei, you can report it when you go back Prefect Ma Teng said that I, Zhao Lei, would not treat Ling Qianjin badly. Dian Wei is a general in our army, and Ma Yunjue and him are well-matched. After I marry them, I will promote Dian Wei to show that he is worthy. The identity of Ma Yunjue." Zhao Lei said at this moment.

"Inspector Zhao, absolutely not!" Cheng Yin cried out when he saw how passive the situation was.

"Master Cheng, my lord received you in the main hall for the sake of General Ma Chao's face. You were not held accountable for entering Yangzhou without permission. Please be careful, Master Cheng, and don't push yourself any further. Otherwise, don't blame my lord for ignoring you." And the old alliance with Ma Taishou." Just as Cheng Yin was still being pricked, Jia Xu's cold voice suddenly came, and then Zhao Yun took a step across, and a sharp look made Cheng Yin's back burst into cold sweat .

"Inspector Zhao...Inspector, what are you doing? Is this how you treat guests?" Cheng Yin stammered.

"Master Cheng, I have given you enough face before. Since you can't take Ma Chao away, why bother to make things difficult for others. Now you have only two choices. The first is to take your people and return to Liangzhou immediately, and the second is to stay. Come down and have a wedding with Dian Wei and Ma Yunhao. If you make further progress, don't blame me, Zhao Lei, for being rude." Zhao Lei said.

Zhao Lei's words seemed to be a wake-up call, and he slapped Cheng Yin hard, only to see Cheng Yin bowed to Zhao Lei helplessly, and said, "Well, since Governor Zhao forcibly keeps Ma Chao and Ma Yunhe behind, he definitely wants to Are you an enemy of my Liangzhou? Well, the mountains and rivers meet again, let's wait and see!"

"I have been threatened too many times in my life, and every time the person who threatened me has no good end. You go back and tell your master, and hope that he will not be smart or make mistakes." Zhao Lei said coldly.

Zhao Lei walked up to Ma Chao and said, "Meng Qi, the training I have given you these years is worth it..."

"My lord, I would like to have the courage to ask you something." Ma Chao clasped his fists and said.

"Tell me." Zhao Lei said.

"My lord, if I promised to return to Liangzhou just now, what action will my lord take?" Ma Chao asked.

"Meng Qi, you underestimate me." Hearing Ma Chao's words, Zhao Lei smiled and said, "When you took refuge in me that year, I made it clear that if one day you want to leave me, I will definitely not stop you." .In the past few years, I have always had this idea."

"My lord, since I have such a background, why have you cultivated me carefully and told me many secrets of the Yangzhou Army in the past few years? Could it be that the lord has not guarded against me at all?" Ma Chao asked suspiciously.

"Do you need to take precautions?" Zhao Lei said seriously: "You have been under my command for a day, and I have full trust in you. Not only you, but all my subordinates of Zhao Lei are the same. Employers are not suspicious, and suspects are not. I always trust my subordinates My civil servants and military generals are extremely loyal to me. If someone betrays me one day, it is also my responsibility, because if I treat you well, no one will betray. Human beings are mutual, and as a lord, I should have an accident Take the lead, and you can't always put the blame on your subordinates. Therefore, even if you leave this time, I will not stop you. Because I believe that even if you go to Liangzhou and stand on the opposite side with me, we will still be the same. Friends." Zhao Lei said.

"My lord is wise..." Before Ma Chao could speak, everyone shouted first.

"My lord, I, Ma Chao, did not make a wrong decision this time." Ma Chao choked up and said, "From today on, my lord no longer has to worry about whether or not my subordinates will stay or stay. I, Ma Chao, am willing to overwhelm the rivers and seas for my lord in this life.

"Meng Qi, what nonsense are you talking about? Why do you say dead words when it's obviously a happy thing?" Zhao Lei laughed.

"Yes, yes, this subordinate knows his mistake." Zhao Lei said.

"In order to punish you, I announce that you will be appointed General Hu Wei You, and Zilong will be the Second Tiger of Yangzhou." Zhao Lei said.

"Thank you, my lord!" Ma Chao bowed his hands.

"General Huwei right?" Everyone was dumbfounded. They didn't expect that after this incident, Ma Chao's status would be promoted by Zhao Lei to the same military position as Zhao Yun.

"It seems that the lord wants to build an army with Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, and Zhang Liao as generals." Jia Xu thought silently from the side.

"Okay, this matter has come to an end. If you have nothing to do, you can leave! Three days later, we will hold Dian Wei and Ma Yun's wedding." Zhao Lei said.

Zhao Lei's words made Ma Yunjue's face flush immediately, and he shyly hid behind Dianwei.

"My lord, the matter is not over yet!"

"Master, the matter is not over yet!" Zhang Han and Guo Jia came out at this time and said one after another.

"What else?" Zhao Lei asked in confusion.

"My lord, they are right." Ma Yunhao stood up and said at this time.

"Please tell me, Miss Ma," Zhao Lei said.

"My lord, this time my father sent me to Yangzhou not only to pick up my brother, but also to let me check the terrain of Yangzhou. So at that time, Zhang Han's army division would find me outside Moling City. And my father sent me to Yangzhou. So I was asked to do this because he has teamed up with Liu Bei to conquer Yangzhou!"

As soon as Ma Yunhe said this, the hall was full of uproar.

But Zhao Lei looked very calm, and said: "So what if we join forces, I was going to attack Jingzhou, one will fight one, two will fight one pair!"

"But I don't understand. Yangzhou is so far away from Liangzhou, why did Ma Teng go out of his way to harass me?" Zhao Lei asked this question that only Ma Yunhe could answer.

"Because my father reached an agreement with Liu Bei. Once Yangzhou is captured, Liu Bei will give the land of Shangyong and Xinye to my father. Now my father is preparing to send troops to attack Hanzhong and Longxi. Once these two areas are captured, we can make peace with him." Jingbei is connected in a straight line." Ma Yunlu said.

"Girl Ma, although your father's idea is good, has he forgotten who he is making deals with again? Who is Liu Bei? Will he keep his word?" Zhang Han interjected.

"Employees are not suspicious, suspects are not." Ma Yunhe returned Zhao Lei's words to Zhang Han intact.

"Hahaha, Ma Teng is really funny, he gave birth to such a sharp-tongued daughter." Zhao Lei smiled when he saw Zhang Han being complained about.

"My lord, since Ma Teng and Liu Bei intend to join forces, we can't sit still. The subordinates think that we should send troops to Jingzhou at this moment. Before the alliance between Ma Teng and Liu Bei is successful, we will fight back and catch him by surprise." Jia Xu said.

"Mr. Jia is right, but since we are going to send troops, how should we attack?" Zhao Lei asked.

"This is the first time that the lord has used troops on a large scale in Yangzhou for so many years. The subordinates think that we should choose a route and attack it fiercely. Now Chaisang's Jinfan Army is still in a stalemate with the Jingzhou Navy, and the subordinates believe that the lord should be Yangzhou. The soldiers of the Qing Dynasty sent troops to Chibi from Chaisang, captured Nanjun, an important place for money and food in Jingzhou, and then settled in Jingzhou in Xutu." Jia Xu said.

"Red Cliff?" Zhao Lei muttered to himself, "I didn't expect that the first time I started a war would be the Battle of Chibi? It's really exciting."

Ending Chapter Anti-traversal

Two months later, Zhao Lei, the governor of Yangzhou, mobilized [-] troops. With Zhao Yun and Ma Chao as the vanguard, he set off from Moling to join forces with Zhou Yu's Jinfan Army in Chaisang. Liu Bei personally took command after hearing the news and dispatched all the troops in Jingzhou Fifty thousand were stationed in Chibi.The battle of Chibi is imminent.

Zhao Lei raised his troops, and the world was shaken.Sun Jian, who was located in the four southern counties of Jingzhou, saw Zhao Lei attacking Liu Bei, and was afraid that he would be unable to support Liu Bei after Zhao Lei's defeat.Take the initiative to send troops to Chibi to aid Liu Bei.The Xiliang iron cavalry who had been lurking in Jingzhou for a long time also turned out to gather in Chibi. With the addition of the army horses from these two sides, the number of army horses on the Jingzhou side reached 20.Cao Cao, who was located in the north, saw the mobilization of troops in the south, so he quickly sent troops to Guandu to fight Yuan Shao. The Han Dynasty, which had maintained peace for several years, once again broke out in a full-scale war.

On the Red Cliff battlefield, ships from both sides lined up and stood across the river.

The cold wind was howling, and the icy air was blowing on people's faces. The gale like a knife seemed to tear people apart. On the north bank of the Han River, the two armies were facing each other, and everyone was staring at each other.

Under the cloudy sky, Zhao Lei was wearing a five-flowered battle robe lined with hard steel armor, a golden helmet with nine dragons on his head, a lightning sword hanging from his waist, and a Chinese horse riding on his crotch. Behind them, Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, Zhang Liao, Xu Chu, Dian Wei, Wen Chou and many other Yangzhou army generals lined up in a line, looking so majestic.

Zhang Han, Jia Xu, Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai, Zhou Yu, Lu Su and other counselors were all lined up in an army of 500 people to protect them. They stood on the carriage frame and looked into the distance.

Lu Meng, Lu Xun, Zhang Rui and other students from Nanjing College are on the other side of Zhao Lei.

The cold wind was blowing, and the person who was blowing was shivering. Zhao Lei only felt that his body was starting to become a little stiff. He looked at Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei opposite him, but his heart was so heavy.

From the time he got to know Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei, Zhao Lei first had the urge to subdue them, and then this urge gradually turned into a murderous intent.And to this day, when they met again, they stood on the battlefield again.This time, the grievances between Zhao Lei and Liu Bei may have to be decided on the Red Cliff.Zhao Lei had prepared for the worst this time.This time we must kill Liu Bei.

Zhao Lei rode his horse and took two steps forward, shouting loudly: "Brother Xuande, it's a real honor to see you again, but I didn't expect that we are still enemies. We have known each other for more than ten years. In the past few years, there should be a conclusion."

"Zhao Lei, stop talking nonsense and start a war! I promise, today will be your memorial day next year." Liu Bei said.

"Haha, I've heard this sentence many times..."

A chasing light...

"Hey...you two, why did you fall asleep under the tree?" A man's voice came to Zhao Lei and Zhang Han's ears.

Zhao Lei opened his eyes first, the sun was dazzling...

"Zilong, you lead the left army to attack Liu Bei's formation..." Zhao Lei shouted in a daze.

"So he's a lunatic, he's still dreaming that he's fighting a war..." The man snorted coldly and walked away.

After fully opening his eyes, Zhao Lei was startled suddenly, isn't this his original world?

"Zhang Han, Zhang Han... man." Zhao Lei shook Zhang Han who was still sleeping beside him and said.

At this moment, he was surprised to find that Zhang Han's appearance had returned to the student's appearance when he just traveled.

"Zhang Han, wake me up!" Seeing that Zhang Han was still in a coma, Zhao Lei thought that something happened to him, so he increased his strength to shake him.

Finally, under Zhao Lei's vigorous shaking, Zhang Han woke up in a daze, and his face was also full of surprise.

"How did we get back?" Zhang Han asked Zhao Lei.

Zhao Lei shook his head, expressing that he didn't know either.

"Xiao Lei, what do you think this is?" Zhang Han pointed to the inside of Zhao Lei's collar and said.

It was only at this time that Zhao Lei realized why he had changed back to the clothes he had traveled through.

Zhao Lei took off his coat and found a letter tucked inside the collar.

"Your appearance has seriously changed history. Who knows that if you defeated Liu Bei's coalition forces in the Battle of Chibi, Sun Jian and Liu Bei would surely die. Moreover, considering the combat effectiveness of the Yangzhou Army, the chances of victory are extremely high. However, if Liu Bei He and Sun Jian died, and history changed drastically. The result is that you two may die suddenly on the spot. In order to save you, I used formations to send you back to the present. Please don't blame me, because this world does not belong to you Two, all the rights and glory and wealth are just floating clouds. You should go back to the present and enjoy the beauty of life. By the way, you don’t have to worry about Zilong, Cai Yan and others. I will explain you to them after you leave and take care of them for the rest of their lives. From Zuo Ci."

"It seems that this old man did something." Zhao Lei said.

"What should I do now?" Zhang Han asked.

"What else can I do? Just treat it as a dream!" Zhao Lei stood up and laughed.

Zhang Han nodded, got up too, patted the dust off his body, and then walked side by side with Zhao Lei back to the home that he hadn't returned to for more than ten years. The sky behind him was blue.
