Chapter 922 Lu Bu Is Alive?

When winter really came, Ma Chao reached out to fetch some charcoal sticks and threw them into the furnace. After rubbing his hands on the rising flames, he felt that the temperature in the room had risen slightly.

At this time, his face was a little excited. After all, he never expected that Duanmu Ruoyu, who had come out of the rivers and lakes again, would inadvertently smell the clues of Gongsun Zan, and Yuan Shao intercepted Gongsun Zan's secret letter.As a result, under Chang'an's overall planning and layout, Gongsun Zan's entire power was completely disintegrated.

After that, Ma Chao's plan was fully revealed, and the situation became more obvious—Yuan Shao had already written a letter in black and white to attack Cao Cao—it could be expected that the famous Battle of Guandu in history would soon be staged ahead of schedule.

Of course, this big battle will not be performed like history, but what Ma Chao needs is chaos on the Kanto side.

In addition, there is also good news from Hanzhong: Gan Ning and Zang Ba are really worthy of being robbers, and they are very handy in using those bandits. They destroyed four Majia exchanges overnight. Burn the 'materials' inside.Moreover, when the Ma family investigated later, it was "difficult" to find fragments of Zhang Lu's ghost soldiers' standard weapons and pieces of Jizhou's clothes.

Soon, Qin Yu from Majiali Department brought these two "evidences" into Hanzhong to question Zhang Lu.But Zhang Lu didn't know how to answer the "hard evidence" - he had attacked the Majia Exchange twice, one was in Dong Zhuo's time, under the instruction of Li Ru, he attacked the Majia; the other time , under the instigation of Cao Cao, participated in the Liangzhou unrest.

But this time, everyone saw that Ma Chao and Yuan Shao were torn apart.However, the Ma family's exchange was destroyed by a group of bandits during such a sensitive period, and evidence of Zhang Lu and Yuan Shao's collusion was also discovered.Such an incident made Qin Yu scold Zhang Lu for being ungrateful and ambitious in the Hanzhong Hall!
After that, the Ma family immediately cut off the trade with Zhang Lu, and transferred Han Feng and others back to Chang'an.At the same time, the Ma family's army frequently mobilized, and [-] Ma family elite soldiers were gathered on the border of Hanzhong, eyeing it like a tiger.

Faced with the unexpected disaster, Zhang Lu had no choice but to dispatch troops and generals to strictly guard the pass.However, when the war between the two families was about to break out, the Ma family's subsequent behavior was very strange. Apart from strictly defending, they did not make any attack or temptation.This point made everyone in Hanzhong's hearts hang, and gradually fell back into their stomachs.

However, all this was just the beginning. After losing the financial support from the Ma family, Zhang Lu was surprised to find that he could not find charcoal for heating in winter, and the food he ate returned to the bitter and astringent taste before.What's more serious is that after losing the high-quality and cheap sweaters from Ma's family, Zhang Lu found that this winter was extremely cold.

However, this is only Zhang Lu's life difficulties. The recent turmoil in Hanzhong has broken Zhang Lu's heart and made him frown. Merchants can't get money for the winter at all.They had no choice but to go to the post house to get food for the winter, because they knew that there were warm charcoal fires and plenty of food there.

However, under the economic infiltration of Ma's family, Zhang Lu's belief management has been embezzled layer by layer by middle- and lower-level officials such as ghost soldiers, sacrificial wine, and Zhitou, and all the heating, food and money of this post house have been greedy.After the people in Hanzhong could not get enough food and clothing, several protests broke out immediately.Many believers destroyed post houses and burned Zhang Lu's portraits one after another.In particular, the leaders of the Bayi ethnic minority who supported Zhang Lu in the past, Du Wei, Pu Hu, Yuan Yue, etc., defected from the Five Dou Rice Sect one after another and ceded land to stand on their own under Zhang Lu's rule.

For a time, under Zhang Lu's rule, the situation was surging, and the conflict between the ruler and the believers intensified to the extreme.The power of faith is gone, only suppression and massacre have become the main theme of this winter.At the same time, another force emerged during the turmoil, that is, the people who openly opposed Zhang Lu and took refuge in the Ma family.

Although diplomatic relations with Zhang Lu had already been severed, Ma Chao welcomed the Hanzhong people who had fled into Yongzhou and Sili with pleasure, and provided food and clothing along the way, as well as guards from the Ma family army.Due to the population scramble between the two families, several small-scale battles finally broke out. Of course, the Ma's army usually wins more than loses.

Zhang Lu's rule, at this time, is as fierce and cold as this winter.But the more this is the case, the more people know that winter will pass sooner or later, and the foundation of Zhang Lu's rule will also melt and collapse.

"I didn't expect that the turmoil under Zhang Lu would be so out of control like wildfire. From this point of view, it is hard to say whether Comrade Zhang Lu can survive this winter." Ma Chao looked at the densely packed representatives Hanzhong, who rebelled against the red flag, couldn't help shaking his head slightly, and mourned for Zhang Lu.

"The first news came from Xuzhou. According to Mi Fan, Liu Bei has received Yuan Shao's secret letter. It seems that this winter, he will prepare his troops hard, and when the weather gets warmer next year, he will join Yuan Shao in plotting together. Yanzhou." Diao Chan took out a letter, shook it in front of Ma Chao's eyes, and deliberately let Ma Chao see the beautiful characters on it, and said: "Besides this, there is also a letter of longing for love, which makes all my concubines look like you." Some couldn't help crying..."

"Liu Bei has a good plan. Does he really think that with Yuan Shao's backing, Yuan Shu won't move his Xuzhou?" Ma Chao didn't seem to care about Mi Ji's letter at all. Although we are lagging behind in the news from the side, I guess that Sun Ce will soon unify Jiangdong. With Sun Ce's restraint in Liu Biao, Yuan Shu will attack Xuzhou immediately. Liu Bei really knows how to choose a master..."

"Perhaps, he thinks that Yuan Shao, who did it directly, is easier to communicate with than Feng Xiangong whom we fostered back then." Diao Chan's thoughts were aroused by Ma Chao, and she said with a slight frown.

But at this time, Ma Chao turned around lightly, and pulled out the letter from Diao Chan's hand: "I know you, you are not the kind of woman who is looking for troubles, and you will not read this letter privately." The vermilion lacquer has not been touched, obviously it has not been taken apart.

Seeing Ma Chao like this, Diao Chan couldn't help being unhappy.But before this emotion arose, she saw Ma Chao throw the letter directly into the stove.The middle of the stove sprang up from the middle of the stove, and quickly licked the letter into ashes: "I, like you, am also a person who doesn't ask for trouble. I have a sense of proportion."

There was an awkward silence in the room.Faced with Ma Chao's actions, Diao Chan didn't know whether to comfort her with gentle words, or show her face and smile.For a while, both of them avoided eye contact with each other, as if they didn't want to be seen through by each other.

However, at this moment, the door was suddenly opened, and the cold air rushed in. Ma Chao couldn't help protecting Diao Chan, who was pregnant, and when he turned his head to reprimand the person who came, he discovered that the person hadn't seen him for a long time. Lu Qiling!And her face was full of frantic surprise, and her whole body trembled slightly because of the excitement.

"Ling'er, what's the important thing that made you like this?" Ma Chao frowned, looked at Lu Qiling carefully, and continued, "Talk slowly, don't worry."

"Husband, go to the backyard and have a look!...Father, father is back!!"

"Lu Bu?!"

"Feng Xiangong?!"

Ma Chao and Diao Chan suddenly looked at each other, and they both saw the incredible in each other's eyes.Afterwards, Ma Chao, who had reacted, also knew that there was nothing to be asked from the excited Lu Qiling.Immediately dodged and rushed out, and at the same time said: "Notify Zhang Liao and Gao Shun to come together. As for Zang Ba who is still in Tianshui County, please send us an urgent letter!"

Diao Chan nodded blankly, suddenly for a moment, she also wanted to take another look at the man with whom she had some fate in Chang'an, and wanted to know how he came back from the dead? ...
