After a few more days, Lu Bu finally arrived in Jinyang City, and before he sat down, he heard Tian Feng come to tell him that Xiliang had been waiting for Ma Teng for many days. Lu Bu could only lament that he was a hard worker, and he couldn't take a break, so he hurried to meet Ma Teng.

After a while, a man who was more than eight feet long, with a large body and a majestic nose strode in, followed by two generals. A young military general on the left wears a three-foot red tasseled helmet, a white python belt with the head of a beast wrapped around his waist, a robe of Shu brocade and a hundred flowers, red lips and white face, a handsome appearance, a tiger's back and a bee waist, and a dignified young man at the end, and the general on the right is eight feet tall, with a black and yellow face, the head can not be reviewed, the clothes can not be used as the body, the feet are in the valley, and the ape can not be compared with its health.

Lu Bu recognized that the person in charge was Ma Teng, and hurriedly got up and said, "General Ma!" ”

"Wen Hou! Ma Teng, the general of the defeated army, came to defect and hoped that the general would take him in! Ma Teng's first sentence surprised Lu Bu.

"Well, where did the general start with this?" Lu Bu hurriedly let Ma Teng into the hall and arranged for him to sit down.

Ma Teng sighed: "Alas——! Brothers are ashamed of what people say! ”

Lu Bu already knew how Ma Teng had fallen into such a field, and even knew some details more clearly than the people concerned, so he didn't ask at the moment, and opened his mouth to persuade him: "Victory and defeat on the battlefield are common things in soldiers, why does General Ma have to do this because of a little setback." I think that General Fuboma won a hundred battles, but later he was framed by a traitor, but in the end, didn't he also get revenge. The general is in his prime, and there are more elite soldiers and fierce generals under his command, and he should wait for the comeback! ”

Hearing Lu Bu mention the ancestor, Ma Teng felt ashamed, his face turned red, he didn't want to do this, but Han Sui, who was once the most trusted, betrayed him at the most critical moment, making this loyal and benevolent man disheartened, and at the same time giving birth to negative thoughts, he was ashamed of Lu Bu's words at this moment.

The young general standing behind Ma Teng nodded excitedly when he heard this, and said: "Father, General Lu's words are extreme, let's kill back to Xiliang, and we will personally behead Han Wenyue's dog......"

Ma Teng said angrily: "Shaft, how can you be allowed to talk nonsense here!" Then he turned his head and said to Lu Bu: "Don't blame Wenhou, Ma is negligent in disciplining, causing the dog to be unruly, and I hope the general will forgive him." ”

Lu Bu opened his mouth and said: "General Ma has seen the outside, this must be Young General Ma Chao, the son of Ling." I heard that the young general's martial arts are outstanding, brave and brave, and he is regarded as the general of Shenwei Tian by the Qiang people. The young general's heroic boy has a straightforward personality, and Bu is very happy! ”

Hearing Lu Bu praise his son, Ma Teng was in a good mood, this eldest son Ma Chao has always been his pride, but his personality is a little reckless. At the moment, he said modestly: "Wen Hou praise, Wen Hou praise." ”

Lu Bu spoke again at this time: "General Ma, when I was discussing the Dong Alliance, I saw the general at first sight, and I have always respected Ma Fubo. ”

"This ......"

"Brother Shoucheng!"

"Hahaha, okay, Brother Feng Xianxian!"

"Come on, come on, I'm very happy today, let's not get drunk and don't go home, my little brother has some good things, I will let you taste them!"

That night, Lu Bu's mansion was staggered, Tian Feng and Fu Zhu were also present, and everyone only talked about Fengyue and not about political affairs, which was really a joy for the guests and hosts.

Late at night, after sending Ma Teng and the others away, Lu Bu went back to the house to taste fragrant tea, Zhang Ning was still busy with the resettlement of the displaced people in Wujin Mountain, and at this moment, only Diao Chan was gently massaging Lu Bu's shoulders by his side.

"My lord." Tian Feng and Fu Zhu returned to Lu Bu's room again.

Lu Bu nodded and motioned for the two to sit down. The three of them played a little cautious in the banquet, they drank Qionglin liquid with a low degree, that is, liquor, and after this period of exercise, everyone's alcohol consumption has increased a lot. However, the first time Ma Teng and the others drank this kind of wine, and Lu Bu prepared for them was the one with a relatively high degree, and the three of them were excited to taste it for the first time, and they soon got drunk, and although Lu Bu and the others were a little drunk at this time, they still remained sober.

Lu Bu opened his mouth and asked, "What is the current situation?" ”

Tian Feng looked at Fu Zhi and motioned for him to speak. Frustrated Zhu clasped his fists and said: "My lord, Dong Zhuojun has no vision during this time, the hundred officials of Chang'an City succumbed to the obscenity of Dong Thief, and dared to be angry but did not dare to speak, a few days ago, Taiwei Yang Biao and others were deposed; There has been no change in the grassland, and the materials for the winter have been sent, in exchange for a large number of horse furs and other things, and the person is still stable; Gongsun Chan and Liu Yu in Youzhou in the east turned against each other, and now they are attacking each other, Gongsun Chan is brave and good at fighting, although Liu Yu has Wuhuan people to help, but he is still at a disadvantage in the battle. ”

After a pause, Fu Zhu continued: "Yuan Shao's army occupied the three counties of Hejian, Anping, and Heqing, and his power rose greatly, because of his family's reputation, after the occupation, all the county scholars surrendered, and in this battle, Yuan Shao's subordinates really appeared a lot of civil and military generals, and the background of the fourth and third dukes was really extraordinary; Han Fu's general Pan Feng led the troops to stabilize the situation, although Yuan Shao was strong, but he was never able to break through Pan Feng's defense line, and the two sides fell into a stalemate at this time, but this stalemate may not last long. ”

After Lu Bu finished speaking, he asked, "What about Cao Cao?" What's going on? ”

"Cao Cao didn't make much change at this time, after returning to Chen Liu, he trained soldiers, Hedong Wei has been in frequent contact with him recently, it seems that he wants to fully fund Cao Cao, and Jibei Minister Bao Xin is also close to Cao Cao, Cao Cao has sent troops many times to help Bao Xin exterminate the bandits."

Lu Bu said in a deep voice: "Cao Cao, this person is not a thing in the pool, and he will definitely do something big after he is dormant at this moment, check the news of this person carefully, and report it to me immediately if there is any change." ”

Fu Zhu nodded, and then continued: "The three royal clansmen in the south are very calm, there is no too strong movement, they are all training soldiers and horses in their respective territories to collect grain and grass, Yuan Shu began to recuperate after occupying Yuzhou, and then this person has never done much to be happy; Jiangdong Tiger Sun Jian returned to his hometown of Wu County and recruited 2,000 villagers to defect to Yuan Shu. However, there will eventually be a battle between Yuan Shu and Liu Biao, and the side of the couch will not allow others to snore. ”

Fu Zhu finally explained the several forces that Lu Bu paid more attention to, and then Tian Feng added: "The Wujin Mountain Range is now presided over by the second lady, and the rest of the Black Mountain has a total of 150,000 troops and more than 2 million people. Lord, you've made it impossible for us to have a good year. ”

"Hahaha, isn't Mr. Tian unwilling, then I'll talk to Ning'er and let them go back." Lu Bu was deeply happy when he heard Tian Feng's complaint, this was the first time Tian Feng had talked and laughed with him since that incident, and he made a joke at the moment.

Tian Feng knew that Lu Bu was joking, and then said: "Mr. Jia Xu returned with a great victory in this expedition, not only conquered the land of the four counties, but also gained a lot. ”

"Oh? Rewarding? Lu Bu asked curiously.

"Exactly, but Mr. Jia Xu did not say it explicitly, the army will return in two days, and he will know at that time."

"This Jia Wenhe just loves to make tricks." Hearing that the situation on his side was very good, Lu Bu said cheerfully.

"Lord, how should Ma Teng's matter be handled?" Tian Feng asked.

"What do you think, sir?"

"Wen Hezhi has previously consulted with me and Fu Zhi about this matter. We all thought we should take this man in. ”

"Just what I wanted. Ma Teng is known for his courage and prestige among Qianghu, if he can be used by me, he will crusade against Dong Zhuo Yier. Lu Bu nodded and agreed.

"The lord is wise, but most of the people of Xiliang are unruly, although Ma Teng is known for his loyalty, but most of his subordinates are from Xiliang, so we suggest that when Mr. Jia Xu and others return, our army returns with a great victory, then this matter can be done."

Lu Bu thought about it for a while, and felt that it was just as Tian Feng said, so he decided to wait first.

Two days later, the Bingzhou Legion of the Southern Expedition finally returned, and the people welcomed it, Jia Xu left 20,000 foot soldiers and Zhang He and Xu Huang to garrison, plus the support of the Sima family, there was no problem in the governance and stability of the four counties.

The 20,000 greedy wolf cavalry was mighty and majestic, and this expedition was a big victory, and the momentum was even more amazing, and Ma Teng and others were envious. And the expressions of Ma Teng and the others have long been fully seen by Lu Bu.

That night, Lu Bu held a banquet to celebrate his achievements, and specially invited Ma Teng and others.

Ma Teng raised his wine glass and said loudly: "Ma Someone, congratulations to Wenhou on his victory!" ”

"Hahaha, thank you Brother Shoucheng!" Lu Bu raised his head and drank it all.

Ma Teng continued: "Su Wen and the state iron horse is majestic and majestic, and when I see it today, it really deserves its reputation." There was envy between the words, and everyone could clearly feel it.

Lu Bu hurriedly said modestly: "Brother Shoucheng praised it. The Xiliang Iron Cavalry is also famous in the world, and the cavalry of Brother Su Wenshou gallops across the horizon and is unmatched. I still remember that it was fighting Dong Zhuo with my brother, Brother Shoucheng charged into battle, broke countless enemies, and was heroic! ”

I don't know if it's the wine surging up, or remembering the glorious years at that time, Ma Teng's face at this moment is full of red light, but in an instant, his face is full of sadness, and he sighed and said: "Hey! It's just a pity that at this moment, I'm like a lost dog, and I can't live in fear. ”

"Brother Shoucheng, the younger brother doesn't choose what to say, and he will punish himself with a cup!" Lu Bu knew that he had just said the wrong thing, which caused the other party to feel sad.

Ma Teng shook his head, tears welling up in his eyes.

Lu Bu opened his mouth and said: "Brother Shoucheng is a loyal and righteous man, and being framed by traitors really makes Bu feel sad. Recalling that back then, we, the princes of Kwantung, jointly swore an oath to defeat Dong Thief, what a heroic and dry cloud it was. Now that Brother Shoucheng is in trouble, I, Lu someone, should do my best in both public and private affairs. In the past few days, I have thought about it again and again, and I am willing to send the most elite greedy wolf cavalry under my command, that is, the troops that Brother Shoucheng saw today, to help my brother destroy Han Sui and take revenge! ”
