Gaowu Three Kingdoms: Starting from the Five Dou Rice Religion

Chapter 95
In the evening two days later, the army returned.

Zhang Lu greeted Ma Chao, Zhang Wei and others outside Nanzheng City.

Ma Chao's complexion was not very good-looking, with a sickly face, and he could only say he forced a smile in front of Zhang Lu's comfort.

Zhang Lu didn't blame him, and this corporal's attitude made him unable to say the words to let his brother go, so he was even more depressed. At this moment, he saw Lu Jing in the crowd.

Ma Chao knew Lu Jing.

Previously, this man had conflicts with Ma Dai, and Ma Dai stepped in to help the bandits in Lianyunzhai and prevented him from escaping, but he also stole Ma Dai's Qiankun bag, which contained one month's military supplies, ginseng and Yuanrong crossbow.

Such a heavy object should have been sent to Baishi to retrieve it, but when Cao Cao conquered Guanzhong, he was busy defending against the enemy and had no time to clone himself. After the defeat, he fled to Liangzhou, never having a chance.

When he surrendered to Zhang Lu, he asked about the situation thoroughly, but because of Zhang Qiying, he couldn't speak anymore.

This dumb loss can only be eaten!

Ma Chao narrowed his eyes, it was because of this man that Ma Dai was captured, all Baishi was imprisoned, Qishan was defeated in the war, old and new grudges were burning with anger...

Lu Jing smiled lightly, and stroked the [Kanglong Mace] on his waist with his fingers.

Ma Chao's killing intent is even stronger!
Seeing this, Fan Xuan took a step forward, covered Lu Jing behind him, and said: "General Ma, the army is returning to the division, and the boats and cars are exhausting. It is better to rest earlier, and I will leave first." He said and pulled Lu Jing back.

He could see that this apprentice was not afraid at all. Even if Ma Chao was seriously injured, it was not something Lu Jing could handle now.

Lu Jing didn't think there was any need to worry. For a person like Ma Chao, as long as the knife didn't fall on him, he would never explode. A person who doesn't care about his father, just a younger brother, can he do it because of it?
I stand here and let you fight!
The contradiction between the two is obvious.

Zhang Lu and Zhang Wei saw it, and the surrounding civil servants and military generals also knew it well.

One is a bereaved dog who betrayed his father and murdered the state generals, and the other is a direct descendant of a heavenly master who has led the army and made great achievements. Everyone has a scale in their hearts. Of course, Zhang Lu needs Ma Chao now. To look at Ma Chao's face, Zhang Lu also has to give face, at least maintain superficial respect.

that night.

Ma Chao returned to his mansion alone. The courtyard was vast, but even more secluded and lonely.

Both Buqu and his younger brother Ma Dai were imprisoned in the past, and now there are only a few servants left in the courtyard.

Under the candlelight, Ma Chao sat in the lobby drinking alone.

Recalling the time after the next year, Jicheng was defeated first, and Pang De, who had been severely injured by the "sword demon" Shi A, was captured by Xia Houyuan, his wife and children were killed by Liangzhou nobles, and he became a lonely family; Borrowing troops to counterattack Liangzhou, but the army failed again, and another disaster happened. This time, Ma Dai was arrested and all his songs were detained, and his reputation in Tianshi Dao was notorious...

Today, the sky is big and the earth is big, and there is no place to settle down. Ma Chao feels sad when he thinks of this place.

"Ugh……"

He couldn't help sighing.

"Why does the general sigh so much?"

Suddenly a clear voice sounded, and without raising his head, Ma Chao gently shook the wine glass in his hand, and said calmly: "Li Hui, Li Deang, for the sake of our old friends in Longxi, leave quickly. The sword in the box is newly sharpened, please try the sword!" After speaking, he drank it down.

"Hahaha……"

A Confucian scholar in green shirt in his thirties walked into the hall like a ghost, stroked his beard and smiled and said: "The general's demeanor is still the same as before, but it's a pity... the newly sharpened sword, I'm afraid I can't try my head, I want to try myself also!"

"Ah!"

Ma Chao raised his head with a sneer: "Are you also here to ridicule Ma?"

He made a move with one hand, and the sword on the wall came out of its sheath with lightning, and plunged a foot in front of Li Hui with a clang. The sword energy swayed, and the ground was covered with frost. Calmly, looking at the sword in front of him, he said calmly: "I've heard about General Fubo's second treasure 'Bingya Xuanshuang' for a long time, this sword should be the famous [Bingya Sword]. It's a pity that the general's magical skills cannot be used by others, pity This peerless treasure can only be hidden in the sheath now..."

"..."

Ma Chao frowned, and stared at Li Hui: "Liu Jiyu couldn't protect himself, so he sent you to surrender? You're underestimating me, Ma Chao! Leave quickly, or don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Ma Chao slapped the table, full of murderous aura!
In the past, Li Hui worked under Liu Zhang's command. By chance, he met Ma Chao when he was visiting relatives in Longxi. Ma Chao thought he was Liu Zhang's lobbyist, but in fact... If you choose the master, Liu Zhang will seek his own death, and disaster will not be far away! Why would I bother because of him?"

Ok?
Ma Chao was taken aback for a moment, then after thinking about it, he understood a little bit.

His face softened a little, and he sat down slowly, but he didn't answer Li Hui's voice, but said: "Just now you said 'I want to test myself', what do you mean by that?"

Seeing his expression, Li Hui knew that he had already moved his heart, so he hurriedly said: "In ancient times, there was the West of Yue, and those who were good at destroying it could not hide its beauty; Qi Zhi had no salt, and those who were good and beautiful could not hide its ugliness; If you are full, you will lose: it is common sense in this world!
Today, the general and Cao Cao have a hatred for killing their father, and Longxi has a hatred of gnashing their teeth!Before he couldn't kill Cao Cao to avenge his father, and later he couldn't break the hatred of Xiahou Yuanxue's wife. Now he lives in Hanzhong, his trilogy is captured, his brothers are trapped, and he is stared at everywhere. He is panicked like a bereaved dog. How can he see the world?
Today Emperor Liu's benevolence is widespread, and he is a corporal who is courteous and virtuous. Xichuan is at your fingertips!The general's father, in the past, made an appointment with the emperor's uncle to hunt down thieves. Why didn't the general abandon his secrets and turn to the bright, and let go of self-defense thieves like Zhang Lu, in order to avenge his father, make meritorious deeds, regroup, and rebuild his glory!Afterwards, the coercion at home will be a complete shame! "

Li Hui was eloquent and impassioned.

Ma Chao's provocative face changed continuously. Thinking of the humiliating experience during this period, he turned blue for a while, and turned red for a while, and he unconsciously clenched the wine glass tightly.

The lobby fell silent.

Ma Chao pondered for a long time, but Li Hui didn't say a word.

After a while, Ma Chao frowned and said, "But Ma Dai..."

Li Hui said with a long sigh of relief: "General, don't worry too much. Now our army is guarding Mianzhu, and it is only a pass from Luocheng to Chengdu. Liu Zhang has sent an envoy to ask for help from Zhang Lu. Our army has also sent an envoy to offer bribes. Yang Song, hold Zhang Lu steady.

If Zhang Lu insists on sending troops to rescue, please ask the general to invite you to fight on your own, and wait for the time to wait for our army to break through Luocheng and capture Chengdu.Brother Ma Dai will be able to return safely, please be patient for a while. "

Ma Chao thought for a while, and found that this strategy is indeed feasible. Zhang Lu has no ambitions and arrogance, and there is no future in following him, so he said, "Okay!"

……

At the same time, Lu Jing was learning how to draw talisman soldiers from Fan Xuanjing's room, when suddenly Xing Du rushed in and hurriedly handed over two letters.

Lu Jing put down his pen, opened it, and said with a sneer, "It's really like I don't exist."

Fan Xuan didn't raise his head, and said, "What's wrong?"

"Collaborate with the enemy, accept bribes..."

Lu Jing was a little helpless, and burned the two letters to ashes, saying: "A few days ago, I just scolded Liu Zhang for being riddled with holes, but I didn't expect us to be so good. There are always people who are greedy... Liu Zhang is too kind... However, our master will not give up too much."

Fan Xuan raised his head helplessly, and tapped him with a cinnabar pen: "You, you, don't keep being so outspoken."

"Yes Yes Yes."

Lu Jing repeatedly agreed, and walked out: "Master, draw slowly, and I will solve it."

"Be careful."

Fan Xuan frowned and said, "Also, 'Ordinary people should stay on the front line'."

Lu Jing waved his hand and said, "Master, don't worry, this time I won't be the first bird, let Master and the others have a headache if I stay or not!"

"..."

Fan Xuan smiled wryly and shook his head: "This child..."

……

The next day, Liu Zhang's envoy Huang Quan and Liu Bei's envoy Sun Qian asked to see Zhang Lu.

The former asked for help, and the latter formed an alliance. One side asked Zhang Lu to send troops to rescue the siege, and the other asked Zhang Lu to stand still.

The matter was of great importance, so Zhang Lu rang the bell to gather the generals, and summoned the elite of the heavenly masters and the civil and military generals to discuss together.

After a while, everyone gathered in the Dao Qi Chang Cun Hall.

The left column is Ma Chao, Yang Song, Yan Pu, Yang Bo, Chang Qi, etc., and the right column is Fan Xuan, Zhang Yulan, Lu Jing, etc., but the successor Zhang Wei and general Yang Ren are missing.

Zhang Lu glanced over, feeling strange, and was about to ask a question, when he suddenly saw Lu Jing shaking his head slightly, knowing that there was a reason for the incident, so he suppressed it and let Huang Quan and Sun Qian go to the hall respectively.

Huang Quan, a counselor under Liu Zhang's command, is extremely intelligent. He once advised Liu Zhang not to let Liu Bei enter Sichuan, but unfortunately he was not accepted. It makes sense, but he is different from those people, in the face of desperation, he still tries his best to advise Liu Zhang.

Lu Jing admired him very much.

Sun Qian, Liu Bei's staff, can be regarded as a well-known envoy.

How dare he come...

Lu Jing was quite surprised.

After Huang Quan entered the palace, he said: "The east and west rivers are actually lips and teeth; if the west river is broken, the east river will be difficult to protect."If you are willing to save each other today, you should thank you with twenty states!

Lu Jing laughed secretly when he heard this, the first half of the sentence is quite correct, but the second half is bullshit.

Even if Liu Zhang could give it, Tianshi Dao couldn't take it. A Brazilian county is already exhausting the old nose.

Huang Quan couldn't do anything about it. Now that Liu Zhang has fallen into northern Sichuan, he really has no other bargaining chips, so he can only promise to cede the land afterwards.

Zhang Lu did not express his opinion, and asked him to wait in the side hall first.

After Huang Quan retreated, Sun Qian went up to the hall, without squinting, not daring to look at Lu Jing at all, he clasped his fists and bowed to Zhang Lu, saying: Uncle Liu Huang and Liu Zhang fought for Xichuan to avenge Zhang Lu's murder, and we should not listen to estrangement In other words, after the matter is completed, he will protect Zhang Lu as the king of Hanzhong as the uncle of the great Han emperor.

Lu Jing curled his lips, high-sounding, it's just nonsense!
Zhang Lu still didn't make a statement, and asked him to wait in the side hall.

When Sun Qian retreated, Yang Song came out and said, "My lord, Liu Zhang and my lord are feuds. I urgently ask for help in this matter. You can't listen to the fraudulent promise to cede the land! If you don't stand on the sidelines, wait..."

"Wait a minute."

Another counselor, Yan Pu, was about to stop him, but Lu Jing came out first, wearing a red and black soldier's crow Taoist robe, showing a fierce and ruthless appearance.

He first smiled at Yang Song, and said: "Wait a while for the great wine sacrifice, the heir and General Yang will come back immediately, and it won't be too late to listen to the big wine sacrifice after the two of them return from 'catching thieves'."

Lu Jing smiled all over his face, but this smile made Yang Song's eyelids twitch wildly, and Ma Chao's heart trembled.

not good!

Things have changed!
