The Horse of the Three Kingdoms Treads the World

() Perhaps for safety reasons, Lu Bu lived in the barracks after Dong Zhuo was killed in a successful mutiny.Although he has extraordinary martial arts skills, he has learned from Dong Zhuo's past and is worried about the possible revenge of Dong Zhuo's remaining troops, so he has always brought a lot of guards around him. From the perspective of courage alone, he is obviously far inferior to the horse. more.

Because on this day, Ma Yue went outside Lu Bu's camp only under the escort of a hundred people.When Lu Bu learned of Ma Yue's sudden visit, he was stunned for a moment, because he really couldn't figure out the intention of the other party's visit.And because he had already had some kind of negotiation with Wang Yun, he still felt a little guilty and didn't dare to see Ma Yue.But since the other party had already arrived at the gate, he couldn't avoid it, so he had to go out to meet him himself, and welcomed Ma Yue into his big tent.

Ma Chao and Wang Feng were the only ones who accompanied Ma Yue into Lv Bu's tent. Lv Bu didn't feel at ease until he saw how generous he was and he didn't take any precautions.However, after exchanging a few pleasantries, he still couldn't hide his doubts, and couldn't help asking: "I don't know why Zhongling you suddenly visited me today? If it's not a big deal, you can get someone to bring you a message. Why do you have to work so hard to see me? After all, the situation in Chang'an City is still unstable."

Ma Yue smiled lightly: "Because of the seriousness of the matter, I have to take the risk to come to see you, General Lu." Ma Yue emphasized the word "adventure", which seemed to mean something, which made Lu Bu's heart tighten, and he did it immediately. He smiled and asked, "I don't know what is so important that Zhong Ling values ​​it so much?"

"I'm here for the life and death of General Lu!" As the saying goes, Ma Yue's words surprised Lu Bu, and he opened his eyes suddenly, and said with a puzzled face: "This... Zhong Ling How did you say that?"

"Why, the general doesn't know how unfavorable the current situation is for you? If that's the case, let's wait for the next one." What Ma Yue wants is this kind of result. First use big words to frighten the other party, and then Slowly be persuaded.

"Please tell me," Lu Bu said solemnly.Faintly, he had guessed the real intention of Ma Yue's visit, probably it had a great connection with the agreement between himself and Wang Yun.

Sure enough, Ma Yue brought up the matter straight to the point: "General Ri has been in close contact with Wang Yun during this period, and he must have reached some kind of tacit understanding and agreement with him? In fact, if I were them, it must be here Sometimes they will make such a choice, after all, they do not have enough troops to protect themselves, and the general and we each have an army that can completely wipe them out. Therefore, if they want to ensure their own safety, the best The way is to provoke us, let the general's troops have a serious conflict with us, or even lose both sides. I don't know if the general thinks so?"

"This..." For a moment, Lu Bu didn't know whether he should nod or shake his head.In other words, what Ma Yue said is correct, but if he nods, he will admit that he has indeed colluded with Wang Yun. How can he admit such a thing in front of Ma Yue?

"General, there is no need to deny it. The reason why I came here rashly today is precisely because I have learned about Wang Yun's meeting with the general, so I said such words." Ma Yue said frankly.

Under such circumstances, Lu Bu could only nod with a wry smile: "It seems that nothing can be hidden from you, Ma Zhongling. Yes, I have indeed met Wang Yun a few times. However, I have never agreed to cooperate with them to fight against you." , I hope you can understand this."

Ma Yue nodded: "I can also believe this point. Since the general is still willing to see me, it means that you are still hesitating and haven't made up your mind. And I came here today to tell you about this matter. Said it."

Lu Bu glanced at Ma Yue, although he thought in his heart that of course you don't want me to be your enemy, but he still smiled on his face: "Then I will listen carefully."

Ma Yue didn't make any circles, and went straight to the topic: "The general thinks that if you and I really turn against each other and go to war, what will be the final result?" Before Lu Bu could answer, he had already continued: "If you are here Let me tell you, you and I have equal strength. Once we fight, we will lose both sides. Even if one side wins this time by luck, it will be a miserable victory. Especially when both of you and I are on guard. The outcome of the battle is even more unpredictable. Does the general think so?"

Lu Bu had to admit that this was the correct result: "Yes, even if I have the help of those officials, I'm afraid it will not be easy to defeat your Ma cavalry."

"The general still wants to use the power of Wang Yun and other courtiers for his own use? Please forgive me for saying something rude, you are just seeking skins from tigers. If you and I really start a war, they will just sit on the sidelines and will never fight against you and me." The strength of both sides has not been greatly weakened before the attack. And once you and our army are exhausted, these people will attack behind the scenes.

"Actually, this can be seen from the methods they used to deal with those colleagues who were under Dong Zhuo after they assassinated Dong Zhuo. They refused to let go of these colleagues who were forced to do so, so what? Maybe live in peace with the general, or even help the general? So I say, they are using the general completely. And once the use is over, General Lu and your subordinates will become their enemies."

After hearing these words, Lu Bu's complexion suddenly changed.Although he had some concerns before, he hadn't thought about it so deeply.But after Ma Yue made such a small call, some doubts hidden in his heart were completely revealed.After a long while, he nodded: "You are right. If I fight you with all my strength, the result will be terrible."

"Actually, those self-righteous courtiers may not be the ones who really benefit." Ma Yue saw that Lu Bu had been persuaded by himself, so he continued: "I have received definite news that Li Ru, Niu Fu and others have already returned from Luoyang. The troops have been withdrawn, and it will not be long before these Xiliang warriors will lead their troops back to Chang'an. At that time, with those officials and the thousands of slaves under them, do you think they can withstand tens of thousands of angry soldiers? Did you come from Xiliang cavalry?"

"Of course it is impossible." Lu Bu's answer this time was very happy: "You mean that if you and I kill each other, only the Xiliang army will benefit in the end?"

"Yes, there are also the Kwantung Allied Forces that followed, such as Yuan Shao and others. Now that Dong Zhuo is dead and the Xiliang Army has no leader, it will be difficult to compete with the Kwantung Allied Forces. So sooner or later, Chang'an will fall into the hands of Yuan Shao and others .” Ma Yue further analyzed it.And his analysis was very consistent with the facts before him, so Lu Bu couldn't help nodding his head, thinking that what he said was true.

Seeing that he had successfully persuaded Lu Bu, Ma Yue revealed today's true purpose: "So if you and I want to protect ourselves, we must not kill each other at this time, but should work together. On the contrary, Wang Yun The courtiers are our enemies. After all, we were all from the Xiliang Army, and we were originally opposed to them. Now, if we want to ensure the stability of Chang'an City, these people must be eradicated!" At this point, Ma Yue's eyes flickered There was a cold light.

"You mean we want us to join hands and give all the courtiers..." At the end, even Lu Bu shuddered.Although he has been battle-tested and killed many people, he still has difficulty making up his mind when he thinks of attacking high-ranking officials of the Manchu Dynasty.After all, he belongs to this era, and he has been influenced by Ding Yuan for many years because he is loyal to the emperor and the court. Now it is really difficult for him to deal with those court officials.

But Ma Yue didn't have any worries about this. He nodded impressively: "Yes, if you and I want to survive, we must eradicate them. Of course, if the general doesn't have the heart to kill them, I can do it for you. As long as the general guards the door, Just don't let anyone escape to you and escape from the city."

"You want to eradicate them completely without leaving any?" Lu Bu was even more surprised when he heard Ma Yue's meaning.He also didn't expect that this young man would be so vicious that he would kill everyone as soon as he made a move. He was an official of the Han Dynasty and not an ordinary soldier or commoner.

But Ma Yue nodded and said: "That's right, only in this way can I give an explanation to the Xiliang Army."

"Huh?" Lu Bu was taken aback suddenly, and asked, "You still want to explain to the Xiliang Army?"

"Why, the general doesn't know the purpose of assassinating Dong Zhuo for you before I go down? If I didn't want to replace Dong Zhuo in the Xiliang army, why would I take such a risk?" Ma Yue smiled gently, but Lv Bu asked again I shuddered, and felt that this young man was indeed too powerful, beyond his ability to compare.

"Of course, if this is done, the general will not be in vain. Once I control the Xiliang army, they will no longer seek revenge on the general for Dong Zhuo's affairs. In addition, the general can kill all the credits of Dong Zhuo." Take them all together, so that the general's prestige in the world will definitely increase, and it must be very helpful to the general's future development. Also, these officials will not take any money from the government, and all belong to the general."

"You mean that all those people's wealth belongs to me?" Lu Bu was shocked and couldn't help repeating Ma Yue's words.He knew how rich the families of these courtiers were. Although they no longer had much power, the wealth they had accumulated over decades or even hundreds of years could make everyone's heart flutter.

Ma Yue nodded solemnly: "Yes, as long as the general is willing to cooperate with me, we can eradicate those courtiers."

"Okay, then the general will agree to your request!" Lu Bu immediately expressed his position. Under the temptation of benefits that would allow him to expand the army several times, the original worries disappeared!
