Chapter 491
Lu Bu left with the Wolf Riding Camp, and Xi Ce stayed in Chang'an.

On the one hand, it is to help him guard against those court ministers, so that they don't let them play tricks behind their backs.When Lu Bu first came to Guanzhong, his foundation was not stable. If the backyard caught fire, it would be very troublesome.The second is that the road to Xiliang is rugged, and the terrain in Longxi is mountainous, and the mountain roads on the way are often bumpy, which is too much for a weak physique.

This trip to Xiliang, on the surface, said it was to conquer the rebels, but in fact it was to negotiate and recruit security.

Therefore, Lu Bu only brought a battalion of two thousand wolf riders with him.

A few days ago, news came from Jiang Jiong in Tianshui County that Wang Guo, the leader of the Xiliang rebel army, died in a war.

After the death of the Kingdom, three forces formed in the Liangzhou area, the Han Sui Group in Jincheng, the Ma Teng Group in Weigu, and the Song Jian Group in Fanghan.

Although Lu Bu hasn't been to Xiliang for a long time, he always pays attention to the situation in Liangzhou.

A qualified leader can see all directions with his eyes and listen to all directions. This is the basic.

Han Sui, Ma Teng, and Song Jian are all Han Chinese, which also shows in disguise that Liangzhou today is under the control of the Han Chinese.

It will be much easier if the Han people are in power.

Lu Bu took the wolf riding battalion all the way across the mountains and ridges, first went to the Weigu area, and found Ma Teng who was stationed here.

At that time, Lu Bu encouraged the Eastern Qiang people to join the Liangzhou battlefield to contain the Xiliang rebels.

At the beginning, Ma Teng was just a general of a small tribe in the Eastern Qiang. Later, with the constant fighting with the Western Qiang, Ma Teng's heroic performance and generous character quickly won the affirmation of most people. rising among people.

Perhaps it was God's will. During one march, the Eastern Qiang people were ambushed by the Western Qiang people, and the leader of the Eastern Qiang was also killed in that ambush.

The leader of the Eastern Qiang died, and the soldiers under his command were in a mess.Only Ma Teng remained unchallenged in the face of danger, commanded the sons of all ethnic groups, and successfully broke through.

After that, Ma Teng was also logically elected as the new leader.

On this day, Ma Teng was studying the battle strategy in his tent.

He did not know how many times he had flipped through the topographic map laid out on the desk.

Three years.

Ma Teng sighed and rubbed his aching head with his hands. He was really tired.

During the three years, there were countless battles, big and small, and casualties everywhere.There are Han people, there are Qiang people, there are innocent people, and there are soldiers who fought on both sides...

He didn't want to fight anymore, the bloodshed and sacrifices of the soldiers under his command were already enough.

At this time, the curtain was lifted, and the boy in silver armor standing at the door looked at Ma Teng and shouted excitedly: "Father!"

Hearing this familiar voice, Ma Teng's heart skipped a beat. Following the voice, he saw the young man standing at the door with red lips and white teeth, full of heroism.

Ma Teng rubbed his eyes vigorously, and said in a daze, "Meng Qi, why are you here? I'm not dreaming, am I?"

Before Ma Chao could answer, a particularly tall figure appeared behind him, and said with a smile, "Brother Shoucheng, don't come here without any problems, do you still remember Lu?"

Seeing Lu Bu, Ma Teng hurriedly got up from his seat, cupped his hands and cupped his fists: "Little man Ma Teng, I pay my respects to Marquis Wen."

Even though Ma Teng is now the leader of the Eastern Qiang people, the court did not give him any official position.Therefore, in front of Lu Bu, he could not even be called the last general, and could only call himself a "little man".

"Brother Shoucheng, you are being polite. I heard that you have become the leader of the Eastern Qiang tribe. Lu Moute came to congratulate you."

When he found out where the Eastern Qiang army was stationed, Lu Bu only brought Ma Chao.

A few years ago, at the Zuogu Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony held by the Eastern Qiang people, Lu Bu stole the limelight. Few of the Eastern Qiang soldiers did not know Lu Bu, let alone he brought Ma Teng's son with him.

Therefore, Lv Bu was not stopped along the way, and he arrived outside Ma Teng's tent with ease.

Ma Teng got up and personally welcomed Lu Bu into the tent.

After exchanging pleasantries, the two sat down.

"When Marquis Wen came to Liangzhou, why didn't he notify in advance, so I can go to greet him in person, and show the friendship of the landlord."

Ma Teng said with a smile, and ordered to bring fruit and meat for Lu Bu to enjoy.

"They're all my brothers, why be so polite." Lu Bu picked up the courgette, chewed a couple of bites in his mouth, and also laughed.

A sentence of his own brother, invisibly narrowed the relationship between him and Ma Teng.

After Lu Bu was full, Ma Teng returned to the main topic: "Marquis Wen came here without knowing why."

He didn't believe that Lu Bu came to Liangzhou from all over the world just to chat with him.

"Brother Shoucheng, you and I are not outsiders, so I won't hide it from you. I brought 10,000+ people into the customs from Luoyang, but there is only such a large area in the middle of the pass, and there is no room for these many people. So I brought them to the Liangzhou wants to give them a home in the Tianshui area."

Lu Bu told Ma Teng the truth, anyway, sooner or later he couldn't hide this matter.

After Ma Teng listened, he immediately stood in awe, cupped his hands and said 'Wenhou Gaoyi'.

After saying this, Ma Teng seemed to have thought of something, frowned suddenly, and said to Lu Bu: "Marquis Wen, I'm afraid this is inappropriate."

The city in Liangzhou has low walls and extremely poor defense capabilities. With an army of [-] to [-], it is easy to break through from the outside.

What's more, Liangzhou is not stable now, the situation is turbulent, and fighting on the battlefield has become commonplace.If those Luoyang people settle down here, they will only become fish on other people's chopping boards and be slaughtered by others.

Ma Teng could look at Lu Bu's face and not plunder them, but what about Han Sui and Song Jian?

He can't guarantee it.

Lu Bu was still very happy that Ma Teng had such a heart, at least the one he saved back then was not a white-eyed wolf.

"I came here this time just to let the three of you stop negotiating peace."

Lu Bu explained the purpose of his visit. The most basic prerequisite for the people in the prefecture to live and work in peace and contentment is that Liangzhou must first be stabilized and there will be no more flames of war.

These words reached Ma Teng's heart.

After all these years of fighting, he was already exhausted, but he also had his own concerns.

With so many dead soldiers, the hatred between the two sides has long been buried in each other's hearts.If you stop here, you will not only disappoint the dead soldiers, but also be difficult to explain to the orphans and widows in the clan.

Therefore, Ma Teng hesitated.

Furthermore, the matter of strikes and peace negotiations involves various aspects and is quite complicated.Even if he is willing to make peace, Han Sui and Song Jian may not be willing to do so.

"Marquis Wen, this matter has a lot to do with it. It's hard for me to make a decision. I'm afraid I will have to discuss it with the elders of the clan and the leaders of various clans before I can give you an answer."

Lu Bu didn't expect to finish this matter in a day or two.

In addition to visiting Ma Teng in person, he also sent invitations to Han Sui and Song Jian to come to Tianshui County for business negotiations in the name of General Han Chaoyou.

Soldiers first and then soldiers.
