The Horse of the Three Kingdoms Treads the World

() When a person is about to die, his words are good. Before Wang Yun died, he also sincerely hoped that the world of Han people would have peace from now on.However, the facts in front of him failed to meet his expectations, and Ma Yue and the others knew very well what kind of difficulties they would face next. Although the troubles in Chang'an City had been resolved, the bigger problem came with the Xiliang Army. Luoyang came and appeared.

Once Dong Zhuo died, the Xiliang army was leaderless, but this also aroused the viciousness of these people. When the army turned around and rushed towards Chang'an City, the Xiliang army was filled with violence from top to bottom. It has been publicly stated that once Chang'an is captured, they will bloodbath the entire city to avenge Dong Zhuo who was killed!

With such a decisive murderous intent, shortly after Ma Yue and the others finally stabilized the situation in Chang'an, the Xiliang army had arrived within a hundred miles of Chang'an.And the news that they were about to come to Chang'an was reported to Ma Yue and the others as soon as possible, which made their brows wrinkle involuntarily.

"Once these people who are determined to avenge Dong Zhuo arrive at the city of Chang'an, it will not be so easy for us to appease their anger. Yue'er, do you have any way to deal with it?" Ma Teng thought for a long time but still had no idea After that, he finally turned his attention to Ma Yue, waiting for his response.

The sudden attack on Dong Zhuo this time was also at Ma Yue's instruction, so now that the situation has become so dire, he, the instigator, is of course to blame.This is not only a matter of calming the anger of the Xiliang army, but also related to the life and death of the Ma family, so it should not be underestimated.So when Ma Teng finished speaking, the crowd all focused their attention on Ma Yue, waiting quietly for him to give an explanation.

Ma Yue's face also looked very solemn, but he still took the responsibility: "Killing Dong Zhuo will naturally have such consequences. I was prepared when I made this decision. So during this period of time, I have tried my best to make up for the possible problems. Now, those courtiers are all killed by us, so we can add all the crimes to them. Their heads are also hung outside the city gate. When I go out of the city to talk to them again, maybe the anger of the Xiliang army can be appeased."

"I'm afraid that's not enough?" Jia Xu, a counselor who has already belonged to the Ma family, shook his head and said, "It's already a serious crime for us to sit and watch Dong Zhuo being murdered by these courtiers. Besides, your argument may not be convincing—" —There are so many garrisons in Chang’an city, how could he, Dong Zhuo, be killed by courtiers with only a few thousand slaves? If there is no decent reason, I’m afraid they won’t let it go.”

"Here, of course we have to rely on Lu Bu." Ma Yue said with a smile: "Now, he can only have a chance to stand out if he takes the matter of killing Dong Zhuo completely on his own shoulders. On this point, I will go and fight with him." Talk. And this matter is of great benefit to him, presumably he should not refuse."

"It shouldn't be too late, Yue'er, you should hurry up and talk to Lu Bu clearly. Also, everyone, Chang'an City is about to face enemies that are several times higher, so everyone must cheer up, don't There is no slack in the slightest. The defense of several city walls and closed gates is the most important thing, so don't be careless." Ma Teng immediately issued an order.

Ma Yue wanted to say something more, but in the end he just opened his mouth, but didn't say what he meant.He originally wanted to persuade Ma Teng not to act like an enemy, because it would give people a feeling of guilty conscience and make the Xiliang army even more suspect that Dong Zhuo's death was related to them.But after thinking about it, he still dismissed the suggestion of opening the door to the thief. After all, even he himself was not very sure that he could convince the Xiliang army that he was innocent with just a few words, so he had to be careful.

In fact, Ma Yue also knew very well that it was an extremely risky thing to usurp Xiliang's military power this time, and if he failed, he and the entire Ma family would be doomed.But he also understood the benefits he would get once he got things done, so he chose to take the risk in the end.

After leaving home, Ma Yue came to Lu Bu's barracks only accompanied by Wang Feng and others.

After reaching a cooperation with Ma Yue and eradicating all the courtiers, Lu Bu became quite quiet here. Apart from moving all the wealth of those courtiers over for a few days, he didn't see them make any moves.And when Ma Yue suddenly came again, these Lu Bu's subordinates seemed a little surprised, but they still reported to Lu Bu immediately, and the latter greeted him personally.

"Zhongling, what's the reason for your sudden visit?" Lu Bu also had a bit of worry on his brows, but he still looked very relaxed when facing Ma Yue.

Ma Yue didn't go around in circles, and after following him into the army tent, he went straight in: "The general must have known the news of the Xiliang army's massive return to the west? They came here to avenge Dong Zhuo."

"Yeah, I didn't expect these people to move so fast, and the Kwantung Allied Forces were so incompetent that they didn't seize the opportunity... Otherwise, Chang'an would not be so dangerous." Lu Bu sighed.Then, he glanced at Ma Yue again: "Did you come here suddenly today just to talk to me about their affairs? Or, do you already have a way to deal with them?"

"Exactly, I am here to discuss with the general how to deal with the current difficult situation."

"What's your opinion?" Lu Bu became alert when he heard this. He has been troubled by this incident for the past few days, and now he is in a dilemma.In terms of strength, his army of less than [-] people is no match for the [-] to [-] Xiliang Army. Even with Chang'an as a support, even if there are [-] troops from the Ma family, there is not much chance of winning.But if he left Chang'an, he didn't know where to go for a while, which made him extremely entangled.Now that Ma Yue suddenly said that he came to discuss how to deal with it, Lu Bu was naturally very interested.

Ma Yue smiled: "Last time, it was you and I who cooperated with each other to kill Dong Zhuo first, and then get rid of those courtiers. So this time, it is you and I who cooperate to overcome the difficulties in front of us."

"You want to join forces and defend Chang'an with all your strength?" Lu Bu thought Ma Yue meant that, but the latter shook his head: "No, this is not the way we can get the most benefit. Even if we can really use Chang'an City to block the enemy I am afraid that most of the troops under his command will be damaged by such an offensive, so how can we gain a foothold in today's world?"

"Then what is your real plan? You don't need to hide it anymore!" Lu Bu said impatiently.

"What I mean is that General Lu led the army to withdraw from Chang'an, and waited in a certain city near the left, while I went to deal with the Xiliang army to appease their anger. Of course, during this period, the name of killing Dong Zhuo It's all the general's, and I just have to watch it happen because of the fact."

"You want to accuse me of killing Dong Zhuo? And then live in peace with the Xiliang army?" Lu Bu immediately understood Ma Yue's meaning, and raised his eyebrows accordingly, with a rather unfriendly expression: "This matter Obviously you provoked it, but now you let me take the blame, you are really tricky!"

"General, please don't be in a hurry, and let me finish what I have to say." Ma Yue hurriedly comforted: "In fact, it is not a bad thing for the general to take the name of killing Dong Zhuo alone. You are not a member of the Xiliang army, so There is no disloyalty in killing him. On the contrary, you have done a lot for the court and the country by doing so. Dong Zhuo has offended the whole world because of those actions before. Now the general will destroy him. Let the world admire it?

"Of course, this will also bring some adverse effects, such as the hatred of Xiliang people. However, the general does not have to worry too much about this. If I can reconnect with the Xiliang army, I will definitely persuade them to stop fighting temporarily. I went back to Xiliang. At that time, not only will the general not have to worry about the Xiliang army's revenge, but also this Chang'an city will still belong to you, wouldn't that be the best of both worlds?"

"Hmph, you said it lightly, the Xiliang army is now bent on revenge, how can they give up like this?"

"I am sure of this. Once Dong Zhuo is gone, there will inevitably be many contradictions within the Xiliang Army. At this time, the combat power of the Xiliang Army will be weakened a lot. Moreover, I will tell them who the courtiers who were killed are. It was the mastermind of the matter, and the general was only bewitched by him. Once they found out that the mastermind had been killed, their desire for revenge would naturally fade a lot, and since the general was not in sight at this time, they naturally had to endure it for the time being.

"Also, as far as I expected, the news of Dong Zhuo's death must have spread to other places. The Kwantung Allied Forces and others who are dissatisfied with Dong Zhuo will definitely take advantage of the situation. They will also have a considerable deterrent to the Xiliang Army. In this situation, no matter how eager they are to take revenge, they must first ensure their own safety. So as long as the general withdraws from Chang'an, I can guarantee that they will not make things difficult for the general again.

"If the general refuses to do what I say, then we have no choice but to fight with them, and life and death will be unpredictable. Everything is in the general's thoughts, and the general must think twice!" Ma Yue said. After talking a lot, he closed his mouth and just looked at Lu Bu calmly, waiting for his decision.

Lu Bu was also lost in thought at this moment. What Ma Yue said seemed to make some sense. After all, he was not from Xiliang, and even if he wanted to learn Ma Yue's method, he might not be recognized by them.So it would be better to take all the matter of killing Dong Zhuo on the head, so as to gain a big reputation!The only thing that made him feel a little hard to choose was whether he should leave Chang'an.But after thinking about it for a while, Lu Bu finally made a decision: "Okay! I will help you again this time, but I hope you can keep your word and bring the Xiliang Army out of here as soon as possible."

"This general, please don't worry, I will definitely try my best to do it!" Seeing that Lu Bu complied with his request, Ma Yue couldn't help showing joy.He knew that the first step to get through the crisis in front of him safely had been achieved, and the next step was to see how he could gain the approval of those Xiliang troops.
