Chapter 551 Ma Chao's Letter
"My lord, there are a large number of Huns galloping ahead, and they are coming continuously. Do you want to retreat for the time being?"

In Hongnong County, Lu Bu has gathered hundreds of defeated soldiers, arrested several doctors, robbed some pharmacies and wealthy households, and took some medicinal materials, grain and grass, and hid them in the grain warehouse of a wealthy household. .At this moment, the burning bonfire reflected Lu Bu's sinister and remorseful face, and the frustrated anger that could not be calmed in his chest, wished to make the bonfire more vigorous.

However, when Lu Bu heard Hou Cheng's report, his face finally calmed down a bit, and he said, "Tell me, don't go out to gather the rout for now. Avoid those Huns riding fast, rest for a few days, maybe In a few days, I will return to Chang'an."

"Return to Chang'an?" After hearing this, Zang Ba frowned and endured the pain of two stab wounds on his arm, and asked doubtfully: "My lord, didn't you already said before that Chang'an is no longer a wolf den for our Bingzhou wolves, why now? ?..."

"In the past, I didn't know the art of war, and I only had the cruelty and pride of wolves. Now, I understand that wolves must not only be cruel, but also cunning. On us, that cunning is the art of war..." Lu Bu said this lightly These words did not explain to Zang Ba the relationship between the appearance of the Xiongnu Jiqi and their return to Chang'an.But he secretly thought in his heart that after returning to Chang'an, he must study hard for a while.

But before Lu Bu remembered to read those military books, there was a sound of fighting outside the warehouse door.Lu Bu couldn't help frowning, stood up enduring his injuries, and said, "Cheng Lian, Hao Meng, Cao Xing, follow me out to have a look."

Among the three named, Cheng Lian and Hao Meng were less injured, while Cao Xing injured his leg, but it did not affect his magic skill of piercing Yang with a hundred steps.After hearing the words, he immediately mustered up his blood again and followed Lu Bu out.

As soon as he opened the door, Lu Bu saw that his subordinates had fought with dozens of scattered Hun cavalry.Seeing this situation, Lu Bu wanted to be angry that his subordinates did not obey his order to avoid the Huns' galloping horses.But then he stretched out his eyes and saw a female general in the battle formation, with a sharp halberd technique, controlling Qi to make it continuous, and he couldn't help guessing the truth of the matter.

The female general was Lu Bu's daughter, Lu Qiling. At this time, she was guarding a carriage, killing or repelling several Hun cavalry from time to time, forcing them not to approach.And his subordinates also came to the periphery to rescue them one after another.Lv Bu didn't have time to think any more, he galloped straight forward on his horse, carried Fang Tian's painted halberd, and after just a charge, he completely broke up the scout formation of the Huns' rangers, and then he led his subordinates to surround and kill them.

Before it was time to burn an incense stick, the dozens of Xiongnu rangers were killed by Lu Bu.Several guys who were in a hurry to escape were also shot down by Cao Xing with a few arrows.It wasn't until this time that Lu Qiling rode forward and said to Lu Bu, "Father, my daughter is useless, she has been entangled by these Huns..."

"It's nothing," Lu Bu waved his hand lightly, and after carefully checking that there were no horns or whistles on these Huns' rangers, he said, "It's just a group of wandering cavalry, not an outpost of the Huns. Soldiers. It will not attract the Huns' army to encircle and suppress... But, Ling'er, how did you get here?"

"Chang'an was in chaos. When my daughter saw those Liangzhou dogs on the street, she asked her mother and aunt to pack up the soft clothes and was escorted by the family. She wanted to find her father. After hearing that her father had escaped from Chang'an, she remembered what you said I found the sign of the Lu family that I used to find here step by step." Lu Qiling said, her face was a little unbelievable, and finally she couldn't help but said: "Father, my daughter heard that those rebels are nothing but Li Jue, Guo Si and others. Leader, you have told your daughter many times in the past that they are nothing more than rats and chickens, and they are not worth mentioning. How could the old capital of Chang'an fall into the hands of such people?"

Hearing Lu Qiling's question, Lu Bu couldn't help showing remorse and helplessness on his face, and said, "How can I be defeated by those people as a father? Behind the scenes in Chang'an is controlled by Jin Machao..."

"Ma Chao?" Lu Qiling yelled, her face became more resentful, and she was about to gnash her teeth and say that she must avenge her father, but when she saw the curtain of the carriage lifted, Liu Xiu's face was calm and indifferent. Said: "It really is him."

"What is it really him? Auntie, did you know that Ma Chao would capture Chang'an?" Lu Qiling couldn't help asking when Liu Xiu suddenly said such nonsense.Seeing the helpless expressions on both Liu Xiu and Lu Bu's faces, he couldn't help but angrily said, "Could it be that you were really completely defeated by that guy?"

Lu Bu and Liu Xiu, hearing Lu Qiling's enthusiasm for a newborn calf not afraid of tigers, couldn't help showing a touch of melancholy on their faces.Afterwards, Liu Xiu put Lu Qiling aside, looked straight at Lu Bu, and said, "This is a letter that Ma Chao asked me to hand over to you when I left Fufeng. He said he would open it when you were far away from Chang'an. I think, now It should be about time."

"Xiu'er, you look..." Lu Bu reached out to take the letter from Liu Xiu, seeing that Liu Xiu's loneliness and pain did not seem to be caused by his own defeat, he couldn't help but asked with concern: "Could it be that something is on your mind? "

"No one, but when Ling'er asked me to go with her, I was thinking, should I stay in Chang'an and guard the tomb for the royal family..." After finishing speaking, Liu Xiu didn't look at Lu Bu again, turned around and slipped into the room. got the carriage.The falling door curtain seemed to have become a barrier between Lu Bu and Liu Xiu.

Lu Bu knew Liu Xiu's heartache, but at this moment he was unable to take care of the affection of these children.Unfolding the letter in his hand, he saw that Ma Chao's handwriting was still so illegible: The wolf is out of the cage, and the world is free to roam.Yuan Shu of Nanyang has long wanted to be the emperor, so he can go to hibernation for a while, and when the situation changes, he will have a mountain forest to be proud of.

Lu Bu couldn't help but find it difficult to understand Ma Chao's meaning after reading it.He couldn't think of why Ma Chao would help him find a way out, and even, in the literal meaning, vaguely concluded that he would have a unique opportunity?

Unbelievable!
Lu Bu was puzzled and wanted to throw the letter away.But between changing hands, Lu Qiling shouted: "Father, there is still writing on the back!"

Lü Bu was startled, and hastily turned over the letter. After a closer look, he saw the handwriting on the back, which was still ugly, but the style of writing was extremely teasing: "Have you lost?"Are you uncomfortable?Have you seen the Huns cavalry?Do you want to wait for them to return to Chang'an to regain military power after they defeat the rebels?Don't dream, do you think that Hun soldiers were really called by Liu Xie?Let me tell you, I was just kidding Liu Xie...

After reading these words, Lu Bu really couldn't bear it any longer, directly tore up the letter, and shouted: "After I, Lu Bu, escaped the political control of the imperial court, would it still fall into the hands of your Ma Chao?!"

"Father, father..." Seeing Lu Bu's sudden change of grief and anger, Lu Qiling couldn't help worrying about Lu Bu, and asked, "What did the letter say? Ma Chao wants the Lu family to demote his Ma family?"

"Relegated to the Ma family?" Lu Bu heard the words, the corners of his mouth were bitter, and he said in a low voice: "If I hadn't been so arrogant and arrogant back then, I might have had a way out..."

"Father! You are the unparalleled god of war in the world!! How can you lose your ambition like this?!" Lu Qiling heard Lu Bu's whisper of resignation to fate, and couldn't help saying angrily: "One day, my daughter will definitely get Ma Chao for my father. Take his head to redeem him for today's humiliation!!"

And since it was only a hundred miles away to Qinguan, Ma Chao, who was discussing the Ma family's new policies with Zhong Yao, a new political strategist next to him, couldn't help but sneezed.After looking up, he wrapped the fur coat around his body and murmured: "I don't know, did those technicians in the arsenal invent the spinning jenny? This fur coat with leather and fur is really not warm... ..."

But at this moment, Xiao Tian suddenly held a green flag, rushed towards Ma Chao's formation, and said loudly: "My lord! Ten miles ahead, I found a thousand-man cavalry. I don't know if it is an enemy or a friend!!"
