The Horse of the Three Kingdoms Treads the World

() Everyone has their own selfish intentions. Ma Yue grasped that these Xiliang generals each had their own plans, so he dared to come alone, and persuaded them through various interests so that they would no longer pursue Dong Zhuo's death. , or want to fight with himself and the Ma family forever.

This is not to say that people like Li Ru and Li Que are not loyal to Dong Zhuo.If Dong Zhuo was still alive at this time, he would order these people to do their best even if they knew that things were not good for them.But now that Dong Zhuo is dead, they have to think about their own future.Although they are still under the banner of avenging their lord, this is more just to appease the soldiers below. If we really want to start from their heart, it is impossible to be desperate for revenge.

This time, Ma Yue gave them a suitable step, and let them know how much trouble a forcible attack would cause, which was enough to make them change their attitude towards him.In the final analysis, everything is due to strength and situation, but this time he made the right bet.

Only Zhao Yuan was still unconvinced by this, and stared at Ma Yue bitterly, but when the other generals no longer objected, his status was not as good as Li Que and other Dong Zhuo's favorite generals, so naturally he could no longer object.However, his expression caught Ma Yue's eyes, which made him quite vigilant: "It seems that the Xiliang army is not all people who think about themselves, at least this Zhao Yuan is a problem. I have to find a way to get rid of him. He solved it, otherwise it's not a good thing to have such a person by your side!"

"Zhong Ling, you just said that you have executed all the courtiers who killed the lord?" After the matter was explained, everyone's attitude became much more cordial. Li Ru thought of something again and couldn't help asking.

Ma Yue nodded: "Yes, after killing the lord, they suddenly killed those who were close to us in the court. Seeing that the situation was not good, they sent someone to attack them."

"Then why is Lu Bu willing to watch you get rid of his accomplice?" Zhao Yuan asked a question in a timely manner.

Ma Yue smiled: "Lu Bu and these courtiers are just using each other, so how could they really fight against my Ma family for them? And he must be worried that he will end up following those courtiers with different methods. For this reason, the officials who were close to our Xiliang Army were convicted, so they turned a blind eye to this.

"In addition, maybe he also knew that after the lord's accident, the generals would lead their troops back, so he left Chang'an early with his troops, but now he doesn't know where he is."

"Hmph, you are in the same city as Lu Bu, and you watched him retreat. How dare you say that you have no collusion with him?" Zhao Yuan grabbed another question and said aggressively.This is also the most difficult part for Ma Yue to justify himself, because if you really have a heart for the Xiliang Army, how could you sit back and watch Lu Bu leave?What's more, when the Xiliang army is about to arrive, you should try your best to hold back Lu Bu, so as to avenge Dong Zhuo.

Regarding this, Ma Yue was not in a hurry to explain, but just smiled wryly: "I really want to do this, but I don't control the soldiers and horses under my command." His words are enough to explain everything.Although everyone subconsciously equates Ma Yue and Ma Teng—they are father and son after all—but Ma Yue reminds them that in fact, he and the Ma family are still on different paths.

And Li Ru and others easily accepted this point, because in their view, Ma Yue had been following Dong Zhuo for the past few years, but he seldom met with his family. It is understandable to say that the two sides have different positions.Although Ma Teng can be regarded as Dong Zhuo's subordinate, his du lixing is far stronger than ordinary generals, so after Dong Zhuo was killed, he certainly didn't need to go all out to fight the so-called enemy Lu Bu.Lu Buken left at this time, and Ma Teng should have wished for it.

In fact, Li Que and others thought about it differently, and found that if they were in Ma Teng's position, it would be difficult for them to make this decision and let their subordinates fight against Lu Bu based on Xiliang's roots.So after what Ma Yue said, they all accepted the reason, but everyone looked a little embarrassed.

Originally, they wanted to avenge the lord, but after Ma Yue's words, they saw their true intentions clearly. It turned out that at this time, they were not as loyal to Dong Zhuo as they imagined.Since everyone was in the same boat, there was nothing to blame the Ma family, so after that, everyone didn't mention anything about Lu Bu and revenge.

"Since we have finished talking, everyone please enter Chang'an City to rest. Presumably soon, those Kwantung coalition forces who got the news will kill them, and we have to deal with them." After solving the fatal problem, Ma Yue Ye finally breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately made such a proposal.

In this regard, the generals will naturally not object.In the city of Chang'an, there is still the wealth they have accumulated since they came to the Central Plains this time, and the emperor is still there. They believe that as long as they hold the city and defend it, even if the Kwantung Allied Forces attack with all their strength, it will be enough to resist for a while.

Now that this period of hatred has been resolved, Ma Yue also bid farewell to several generals.He still has to go back to Chang'an to explain everything, and then let people open the city gate to welcome the army into the city.In order to show their position, Li Ru and others also sent him out of the tent.

When Ma Yue and the generals walked out of the big tent, they found that many soldiers outside the tent were still watching eagerly. Obviously, everyone was concerned about how this matter would develop.When they saw Ma Yue coming out safely with a smile on his face, they seemed to be relieved, and their originally tangled expressions were much more relaxed.

When Ma Yue saw this, he also guessed what the soldiers were thinking - they didn't want to meet their former comrades in battle, let alone fight to the death for this bit of hatred.So he opened his mouth in a timely manner: "Warriors from Xiliang, I came here today and explained the misunderstanding with the generals. Although the lord was killed by a villain, I have already reported it for him. Qiu, we will soon be able to return to Chang'an and unite again to fight against those enemies!"

"Okay... Mr. Ma is indeed innocent!"

"I said it earlier, how can we Xiliang people beat ourselves up? This time, the misunderstanding has finally been cleared up. Then we still have a chance to gain a foothold in the Central Plains..."

"We have to avenge the lord's revenge, but we must first find out the real enemy before taking action..." After hearing Ma Yue's words, the Xiliang soldiers couldn't help cheering, and some people posted Come up with your own opinion.Originally, they didn't dare to express these thoughts. After all, they still don't know what the generals are planning. If they say something wrong, they may be questioned.But now, when they learned that the civil war could not be fought, they no longer had such concerns.

Li Ru and the others saw the scene in front of them, and after hearing the applause from the soldiers, they had different feelings in their hearts. Only then did they realize that the soldiers under their command did not want to fight the army in Chang'an City so much.Then I thought that if I insisted on attacking the city with all my strength before, with such an army's morale, I dare not imagine the consequences.

At the same time, Zhang Ji glanced at Ma Yue, who was being praised by the soldiers, with some deep eyes, and said in his heart: "This Ma Zhongling is really thoughtful, and he even thought of this trick, in case we just pretended to promise him no Pursue it again. In this way, even if we really have such thoughts, I am afraid that the soldiers will not be able to completely obey the order. He is really scheming!"

The other people who saw this also looked at Ma Yue with complicated eyes, obviously they did not expect Ma Yue to make such a move.But when things got to this point, even if they had any dissatisfaction, they couldn't express it anymore, so they had to force themselves to smile and once again emphasized to the soldiers that they had canceled their plan to attack the city, and they would take their troops into Chang'an the next day.

Amidst the jubilation, Ma Yue left the barracks again on horseback and turned back to Chang'an City.Completely different from the uneasy mood when he came here, he is now full of confidence in the future. He believes that he will be able to replace Dong Zhuo's previous position in the Xiliang army in the near future.This can already be seen from the attitude of those sergeants towards him today.

Ma Yue's hard work finally turned a battle into jade silk, which made Ma Teng, who was still very worried, have made all the preparations for the army, and Ma Teng, who had moved all the arrows and stones to the top of the city, was really relieved.So this time he praised Ma Yue really generously: "Yue'er, you really saved everyone this time. If you hadn't taken the risk to deal with those Xiliang generals, maybe our Chang'an City It's really over. But... are you really sure that they didn't deliberately deceive us, and then suddenly attacked us after tricking us into opening the city gate?"

"Father, just don't worry, the ordinary sergeants in the army outside the city don't want to fight with us anymore, so even if they go back on their promises, it won't help. If they do so, their morale will be greatly reduced, and they will even be defeated by us. So This time, we have overcome the greatest difficulty!"

"So natural is the best!" Ma Teng said happily.

Early the next morning, the Xiliang Army outside the city arrived at Chang'an City.As expected, the gates of the city were opened wide for them, and the defenders in the city did not put on any precautions.This further showed the sincerity of the Ma family. After seeing all this and seeing the defensive equipment placed on the top of the city, the Xiliang generals felt that their choice was correct.Otherwise, I am afraid that Chang'an will be captured, and their casualties will be quite huge.

In this way, half a month after Dong Zhuo was killed, the Xiliang army reunited, and the previous suspicions disappeared.However, for them, the real challenge was imminent. After learning the exact news of Dong Zhuo's death, the Kwantung Allied Forces no longer delayed, and swung their troops straight to Chang'an!
