Hearing Lu Bu's words, Ma Teng's eyes widened, suspecting that he had heard it wrong, he kept coming to look for Lu Bu for this matter in the past few days, and even proposed to defect to Lu Bu many times, but he took care of him and said that he diverted the topic.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Lu Bu took the initiative to mention it, which was a little incredulous.

Before he could speak, Lu Bu then explained: "Brother Shoucheng, what Fang just said came from Lu Mou's heart. ”

Ma Teng immediately took a jar, raised his head and drank it all, so as to hide the uncontrollable tears in the corners of his eyes, Ma Chao and Pang De were also excited and couldn't help themselves.

At this time, a voice suddenly sounded, "Lord, this greedy wolf iron horse is the foundation of my life and state, how can it be borrowed from outsiders?" It was not for the subordinate to question General Ma's intentions, but how could he be free to the outside world for the purpose of his own life. What's more, the husband and the soldier are the major affairs of the country, the way of death and life, and the place of survival. Our military has only experienced war, and it should rest and recuperate, and if it fights with reckless force for many years, isn't it the way to bring about its own destruction? ”

Everyone looked for prestige, only to see that the person who spoke was Jia Xu Jia Wenhe, who was eating a chicken leg slowly and methodically at the moment, ignoring everyone's attention.

The atmosphere of the banquet was awkward for a while.

Of course this person Ma Teng recognizes, not only does he know but also knows that this person is powerful, Jia Xu may be unknown in other places now, but everyone in Xiliang knows that he has excellent wisdom and unfathomable, so Li Ru only regarded him as a lifelong rival at that time. Seeing that it was Jia Xu who spoke, Ma Teng opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

Immediately afterwards, Fu Zhu also spoke: "My lord, what Mr. Wenhe said is very true. Our army has been on expeditions for many years and needs to recuperate. And the greedy wolf iron rider is ...... after all" Although the words are not finished, the meaning is self-evident, and there are no fools here, and they are very clear about what he wants to express.

Now the world is in chaos, and only with a strong army can you have the right to speak, which is a truth that children understand, so it is really the most appropriate and normal thing for the two strategists to put forward this kind of suggestion.

At this time, Lu Bu opened his mouth and said, "The two gentlemen are too worried. Brother Shoucheng and I are righteous friends, and we fought against Dong Zhuo to participate in righteous deeds. Brother Shoucheng is a bright and upright person, how can he be such a treacherous person, at this moment, my brother is in trouble, if I Lu Fengxian can't reach out to help, how can I be a person? ”

Lu Bu's words were a bit serious, but in Ma Teng's ears, he was even more moved, many people encountered this kind of problem, most of them fled far away, after all, at this time, Dong Zhuo was powerful, with hundreds of thousands of troops, and brought the Son of Heaven to order the world. Anyone who dares to resist him will face his obscenity, and Lu Bu not only took him in, but was willing to send troops to help him avenge him, and this intention alone is extremely precious.

These concerns of Lu Bu's advisers are also reasonable, but Lu Bu still resists public opinion, and Ma Teng can't wait to stick a knife in Lu Bu's ribs at the moment.

Thinking of this, Ma Teng's eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly walked in front of Lu Bu, knelt down and kowtowed: "Ma Teng is willing to serve the Lord and serve the dogs and horses, and he will not hesitate to go to the soup and fire." If this oath is violated, there will be no peace under the ancestral spring! ”

As soon as these words came out, the audience was shocked. The ancients believed in it, there was a big husband who promised a thousand gold, and at the same time China has ruled the world with filial piety since ancient times, so it is not possible to say that the ancestors, Ma Teng is the descendant of the famous general Ma Yuan of the Han Dynasty, he is often proud of this matter, but at the moment he swears by his ancestors, this oath can be said to be very heavy. Therefore, there is absolutely no room for reversal in the matter of his oath of allegiance.

Lu Bu hurriedly helped Ma Teng up, he loved Ma Teng's family, so he designed to accept it, but he didn't expect the other party to be so upright, and even made such a heavy oath, which has to be said to make Lu Bu very surprised.

In this way, Ma Teng has become Lu Bu's subordinate, so there is no problem in nominally letting Ma Teng lead the troops to Xiliang, there is no need to worry about the future, Jia Xu and Fu Zhu also apologized at this moment, and Ma Teng naturally had a greeting.

After some deliberation by everyone, a plan was formulated to send troops to Xiliang. After the beginning of spring, 30,000 cavalry led by Ma Teng and Tian Feng sent to Xiliang, and the 30,000 iron cavalry were all greedy wolf iron cavalry, mainly attacking and harassing raids, destroying Dong Zhuojun's subordinates in Xiliang; Fu Zhu and Zhang Yan led 20,000 troops to attack the northern land and settle the two counties; ordered Bu Dugen and Xun Yu to lead the steppe wolves to attack south from Jiuquan and Dunhuang; Lü Bu personally led Zhang He, Guo Jia, Liu Ba, Zang Hong and others to lead 80,000 heavy troops to besiege Tongguan and suppress Chang'an, so that Dong Zhuojun could not act rashly.

At this time, Lu Bu's power spread throughout the entire territory of Bingzhou, as well as the four counties of Sili and the two counties of Jizhou, it can be said that the power of the Han Dynasty is now second only to Dong Zhuo's princes, and he has recently subdued more than 100,000 people from the Yellow Turban Department of Montenegro, and the troops under his command have surged to 210,000, and they also control the grassland barbarians.

At this moment, not only are the soldiers and food sufficient, but the military generals of Wenchen are even more united, after experiencing the conquest of the grassland and calling for the organization of the alliance army to crusade against Dong Zhuo, Lu Bu's reputation is even more unparalleled, it can be said that the current Bingzhou Legion is the only one who has the strength and can even compete with Dong Zhuo's Xiliang Legion.

But the Bingzhou Legion is not really as perfect as it appears on the surface, there must be darkness where there is light, and there are still a lot of shackles and even hidden dangers within the Bingzhou Legion.

The first point is the population, although the Bingzhou Legion is vast, but the Bingzhou where its base camp is located is located on the border, and it has been poisoned by the grassland barbarians for a long time, and it is sparsely populated. Moreover, the state is barren, Ding Yuan vigorously developed agriculture during his lifetime, coupled with the unremitting efforts of Mao Yuxunyu and others, although it has been greatly improved, but it is still not comparable with the rich areas of the Central Plains and even the south; The second is the lack of talents, although Lu Bu has recruited many top talents in the Three Kingdoms period by virtue of the golden finger that he has traveled through and is familiar with history, but with the expansion of power, the lack of talents has become more and more serious. There is also a very important reason, Lu Bu himself is a border general, and his father-in-law Ding Yuan also walked from the grassroots level to the top step by step, there is no strong foundation behind them, although Lu Bu has issued a recruitment order, but the effect is very small, after all, there is Dong Zhuo who coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes in the west, the Yuan brothers of the fourth and third princes in the east, and there are three royal relatives in the south, and Lu Bu's side does not have much advantage in attracting talents.

And these things have become what has plagued Lu Bu for a period of time, especially the latter, Lu Bu knows the importance of talents in troubled times, as the saying goes, a thousand troops are easy to get, and it is hard to find, this is the truth. Having an excellent talent can save Lu Bu a lot of effort, but among the various books on the history of the Three Kingdoms that he has read in the past, most of the famous and impressive ones are some civil and military generals, and there are few mentions of those who have made great achievements in the real ruling places, and only Xun Yu and Zhong Xuan are currently serving under Lu Bu, and others such as Jiang Wan, Gu Yong, Zhuge Liang, Zhang Zhao and others are either not out of office or too far away.

"Alas——!" Lu Bu looked at the snow piled up in front of the court and sighed, and suddenly remembered a song "Winter Hunting" by Li Shimin in the Tang Dynasty, and sang it with emotion: "The scorching cold wind rises, and the clouds are floating miserably." The frost is thick and condensed, and the ice is thick and clear.

The golden saddle moved to the garden, and the jade was flat. The flags are together, and the Yiluo is begging.

Chu was fighting for the death, and Qin was sad. The beast hurriedly threw the dense tree, and the Hong frightened the gravel island.

Riding the original dust is quiet, and Ge Huiling is harvested. The heart is not Luo Xiaoyi, and it is intended to travel in Weibin.

The poultry shortage is not enjoyable, and the bridle is even more worrying. ”

"Good! A good sentence is not Luo Weiyi, which is intended to travel in Weibin. The poultry shortage is not enjoyable, and the bridle is even more worrying. Feng Xian's literary talent is really unmatched. ”

Lu Bu was shocked to realize that he was out of his mind, and he didn't even notice that someone was approaching behind him, so he looked back and found that the soldiers in the house were leading an old man, and when he looked at it, it turned out to be Cai Yong and Cai Bojiao, who he hadn't seen for a long time.

Lu Bu hurriedly saluted and said, "Student Lu Feng has seen the teacher first. ”

Cai Yong calmly accepted Lu Bu's bow, and said: "Feng Xian, your deeds have been heard by the teacher, Feng Xian, you still have your heart to the community, love the people like a son, and you are very pleased to be a teacher." ”

"The teacher praised falsely, and the students were ashamed to be ashamed, but they hated that they had not been able to cut off the national thieves at this moment and let the people suffer. Every time Feng Xian thinks about it, it is like burning in five days. Lu Bu expressed his sincerity, which moved Cai Yong.

"By the way, why didn't the teacher inform me earlier, so that the students could go and greet him." Lu Bu then asked.

Cai Yong stroked his beard and said: "As a teacher, he is not a dying old man. ”

"Hahaha, presumably the teacher still wants to inspect whether the students are really sympathetic to the people's feelings." Lu Bu joked.

Cai Yong usually doesn't have any fights, and he often makes some harmless jokes with Lu Bu, and at this moment, he is not annoyed to hear Lu Bu use jokes to expose his true thoughts, but he also teases Lu Bu as usual, just nodded but did not speak.

The master and apprentice entered the house, and the two daughters of Diao Chan Zhang Ning heard the message and hurriedly came out to greet them, Cai Yong was also very appreciative when he saw the two girls, and praised the two girls for their hearts and cheeks, which made them even more beautiful and moving.

After both sides sat down, Lu Bu took the lead and said, "I think there must be something wrong with the teacher's coming." Teacher, please say bluntly, the disciple will go all out! ”

Hearing Lu Bu's words, Cai Yong was very moved, Cai Yong had a lot of ups and downs in his life, and he also saw through the warmth and coldness of the world.

Especially the acquaintance with Lu Bu, he was guilty at that time.

But Lu Bu still treats him with respect and admiration from the bottom of his heart, and he also spares no effort to help himself.

Now Lu Bu's reputation is rising, but he can still do this when facing himself, which naturally moves Cai Yong's heart.

Kind-hearted, he usually tries not to trouble anyone, but this time the matter is too urgent and serious, so he can only be cheeky to beg his students.

Cai Yong has no children under his knees, and only one daughter treats him as a treasure, but now that he ......, he can't help but cry when he thinks of the sad place, and he said: "Yan'er, Yan'er, she was kidnapped by thieves!" ”
