The Reincarnation of Lu Bu at the End of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 498 Request to Surrender
Of course, Song Jian was very upset when he hurt the general under his command, but when he heard what Ma Teng said, he looked at the young man in the field, then at Ma Teng, and was a little surprised: "This is your son?"

Ma Teng stroked his beard and nodded, full of complacency.

For this reason, Song Jian also praised "a tiger father has no dog son" against his will.

After the banquet was over, Han Sui ordered his men to clear the tents for Lv Bu and the soldiers of the wolf cavalry battalion so that they could rest.

The night was deep, but Han Sui's tent was still lit with candles.

In the tent, apart from Han Sui and his confidantes, Song Jian was also here, and the flickering candlelight cast a very dark shadow on his face.

"I didn't expect any kid to have such strength. How many trump cards does this surnamed Lu have that we don't know?"

Song Jian sat close to Han Sui, folded his hands, and spoke with gloomy eyes.He originally thought that Lu Bu was the only one who was quite troublesome, but he never expected to underestimate the strength of Lu Bu's subordinates.

"My lord, according to the general's inquiries, there are countless men under Lu Bu who are stronger than Ma Chao. Among them, Lu Bu's strength is unfathomable."

Cheng Yin told Han Sui exactly what he had heard from Cao Xing.

Hearing this, Han Sui's face became even more serious. If so many strong men gathered under Lu Bu's banner, then Lu Bu would be too scary!

"My lord, why don't we..."

Yang Qiu, who is also Han Sui's confidant, showed murderous intent, and did not continue to say the following words, and made a gesture of wiping his neck.

"madness!"

Han Sui reprimanded, Lu Bu has been fighting in the north and south for so many years, and he lived a life with his head on his belt, how could he be defenseless.

"Did you see that group of soldiers under him? They looked lazy, but their eyes looked like wolves. After staring at each other for a long time, you can clearly feel the suppressed and intense murderousness on them." Cheng Yin said this When he spoke, he was obviously a little scared.

"Unless it is absolutely necessary, we don't need to fight with Lu Bu to lose both." Han Sui touched his chin, and said with far-sighted eyes: "Ma Teng's son works under Lu Bu, and this guy must have taken refuge in Lu Bu long ago. Ma Teng I'm not afraid, but I'm afraid that he will use Lu Bu's power to suppress us, so I'm afraid we will have a very difficult life in the future!"

The contest tonight also made Han Sui see the current situation clearly.

No one thought that the backer standing behind Ma Teng would be Lu Bu.

"Then what should we do according to Brother Wenyue's intention?" Song Jian was not as arrogant as when he came here at this time, and asked Han Sui's opinion humbly.

If Lu Bu really wants to make a move, it will be extremely unfavorable to him.

Han Sui thought for a while, and after hesitating for a moment, he said his plan: "It's better to submit to Lu Bu's wishes first, and then quietly develop power. Anyway, as long as we don't leave Liangzhou, this piece of land will always be the land of our few. People have the final say."

After thinking about it, Song Jian felt that what Han Sui said made sense, so he agreed.

The next morning, Han and Song went to see Lu Bu and expressed their willingness to submit to the court.

Hearing this incident, Lu Bu was stunned and couldn't react for a while.Yesterday he asked the two of them to surrender, but they still had their own scruples, how could they both change their minds in one night.

Of course, Han Sui and Song Jian also put forward two conditions, and Lu Bu would only submit to them if they agreed.First, Lu Bu must protect their lives; second, they still command their own subordinates and will not be transferred from Liangzhou.

This is equivalent to letting the imperial court recognize their legal rights in disguise.

Lu Bu didn't have any objection to this. Anyway, the imperial court had basically abandoned Liangzhou and was not planning to regain it in a short time.

Liangzhou is now contested by three forces, and many Qiang people are also active in it.They are now willing to surrender, whether they are sincere or not, at least in name they belong to the Han Dynasty and are under the control of the imperial court.

And in this way, a new Liangzhou shepherd is bound to emerge.

Previously, due to the raging rebels, the imperial court abolished the governor of Liangzhou.

Now that they are willing to surrender, of course they must have a new state shepherd.

Lu Bu hesitated for a long time about the candidate for Liangzhou shepherd.Because ordinary people can't suppress the three of them at all, if the imperial court sends people to come, it is estimated that [-]% of them will be counterproductive.

However, there was no one around Lu Bu who could take up this position, so he thought about it for a long time.

Suddenly, with a flash of inspiration, he remembered someone.

The old man of the Gai family, Gai Xun!

Gai Xun has a very high reputation and prestige in Liangzhou. Both the Qiang people and the Han people respect him very much.

As early as when Beigong Boyu rebelled, Gai Xun had been on the battlefield, and was later surrounded by rebel groups.However, because the Qiang people were in awe of him, they didn't kill him, but let him break out.

It is very suitable for him to be the shepherd of Liangzhou.

Lu Bu responded to Han Sui and Song Jian's request to surrender, and wrote a memorial to the imperial court on the same day, stating that Gai Xun was the shepherd of Liangzhou, Ma Teng was the general of Zhengxi, Song Jian was the general of Zhenxi, and Han Sui was the prefect of Jincheng and the governor of Fushun. General Lang.

More than ten days later, the imperial court issued a reply edict and passed it to Lu Bu's camp.

"A group of rotten Confucians who have harmed the country! Stubborn!"

After Lu Bu read the content of the edict, his face was angry, which really made him very angry.

"General, what happened to make you so angry?"

Zhang Liao, who had opened the tent and entered, happened to hear Lu Bu's angry reprimand, and asked aloud.He has been with Lu Bu for several years, and he rarely sees Lu Bu get angry.

When Lu Bu saw Zhang Liao coming in, he suppressed his anger and adjusted his mood.

Zhang Liao was not an outsider, so Lu Bu handed him the edict: "Wen Yuan, you can read it for yourself."

Zhang Liao received the imperial edict from Lu Bu, and after reading it, he also frowned.

The imperial court not only rejected Gai Xun's request to serve as the governor of Bingzhou, but also named Lu Bu to take the heads of Han Sui and Song Jian as a report to the imperial court.

Ma Teng was exempted from death because of Lu Bu's relationship, but it was absolutely impossible for him to be entrusted with the important post of General Conquering the North.

To put it bluntly, those big figures in the imperial court wanted Lu Bu to quell the turmoil, and then use their 'own people' to govern Liangzhou.

If Han Sui and the others saw this edict, they would have to hate the court to death, and it would be even more difficult to recruit security.Even Ma Teng would never be willing to do so.

Once there is a turmoil, the people in Luoyang will not be able to settle down and start a business, and the local people will also suffer disasters and become victims of the war.

"These ministers in the DPRK and China are all thinking too simply, thinking that the war can be won by talking about it."

Lv Bu knew very well what the ministers in the DPRK were thinking. If he had a surplus of troops, he would not take the initiative to negotiate with Han Sui and Song Jian. He must beat them until they bow their heads and admit their mistakes.

However, the guarding of the four fortresses in Guanzhong and the fortification of Chencang almost drew all the soldiers and horses he could draw.
