"Back to the lord. The Shu army that escaped from Nancheng with Zhuge Liang has been killed by us. Zhuge Liang had no escape, he was personally captured by the last general, and is now imprisoned in my camp! ”

"Hahaha...!"

Lu Bu smiled excitedly: "I knew that General Zang would definitely be able to make meritorious contributions!" ”

"It's all thanks to the lord."

"Don't talk about it yet, take me to him."

"Yes."

Zang Ba took Lu Bu to the station outside the city.

Zhuge Liang was imprisoned in Zang Ba's tent, although there were no five flowers, but around the tent, there were a full 500 knife and axe men, 500 archers, and their eyes stared at the camp tent without blinking, for fear that Zhuge Liang would evaporate from others.

After Lu Bu arrived at the place, he couldn't help laughing: "You're too exaggerated, aren't you?" ”

"That's Zhuge Liang, how dare the last general be careless?"

Zang Ba waved his hand, and the soldiers outside the camp retreated to both sides.

Lu Bu rushed over.

Enter the tent.

I saw Zhuge Liang sitting at the coffee table, drinking tea and playing chess at the same time.

"He's treated so well?" Lu Bu looked at Zang Ba with displeasure.

Zang Ba replied: "The last general is afraid that he will commit suicide after being treated badly, so..." ”

"If you kill yourself, you will kill yourself, what's the big deal." As soon as Lu Bu saw Zhuge Liang, he became angry. From entering Sichuan Shu to the present, if Zhuge Liang hadn't fought against him, he would have taken Sichuan Shu a long time ago. Fortunately, this time God has eyes and let Zhuge Liang cocoon himself.

Whoa...

Zang Ba stepped forward, lifted Zhuge Liang's chess pieces to the ground, and shouted: "Zhuge Liang, the lord is here, don't you kneel to greet him?" ”

"My lord is the emperor's uncle, and I will be the king..."

"Stop!"

Lu Bu impatiently interrupted Zhuge Liang's words, sat aside and said, "Do you want to tell me again that Liu Bei is the orthodox Han family, and how great it is for him to eliminate thieves and help Han when the Han family is in danger?" And I, Lu Bu, am a small official, who has taken the Central Plains and is still greedy enough, and even took away Liu Bei's foundation, how shameless is it? Let me tell you, Liu Bei is the real shameless. What kind of thing is he, a mat weaver and peddler, doing some deceptive deeds and stealing fame, talking about benevolence and righteousness, but how many benevolent and righteous things have he actually done? In the states and counties he governed, the young and strong people went to eight or nine times, and how much damage did it cause to our country and nation? And you boast of your outstanding intelligence, often compared with Zhou Gong and Lu Wang, don't you know that you are aiding and abusing? It's a pity that the Wolong and Phoenix Chicks are actually pearls. ”

"Sophistry!"

Zhuge Liang sat on the ground and said: "I want my ancestor to kill the White Snake uprising, punish the tyrannical Qin, and destroy the strong Chu, so as to create the world of the Han Dynasty." It has been going on for more than 400 years.... ”

"It's time to die!"

Lu Bu interrupted Zhuge Liang's words again: "The number of days has changed, and the artifact is easier, and it belongs to the virtuous person." The current Han Dynasty is like the tyrannical Qin four hundred years ago, and I am the former Han Gaozu, and the world will eventually belong to me! Zhuge Liang, although you are a once-in-a-century genius, you can't change Liu Bei's failed order. Don't you feel a little regretful? ”

"I'm tired, you can go."

Zhuge Liang's expression seemed to be a little trance-like and a little helpless. Maybe he didn't want to argue with Lu Bu. He was half-lying on the ground, his eyes closed, and he didn't look at Lu Bu anymore.

"Good. When I occupy Yizhou and return to Yangzhou, I will have a good conversation with you. Lu Bu stood up and told Zang Ba to take care of Zhuge Liang. Zang Ba responded: "Don't worry, the lord can't run." ”

"Hmm."

After Lu Bu left.

Zang Ba transferred some soldiers to take care of Zhuge Liang closely.

The next few days...

Lu Bu's tens of thousands of troops were stationed in the new capital, and on the one hand, they collected and surrendered the Shu army in the new capital, and on the other hand, they sent people to support Li Jing and besiege and annihilate the Guanping Department outside Mianzhu Pass. Guan Ping's Shu army attacked Mianzhu for three days in a row, and it was already sleepy and lacking horses. was attacked by Xiang Yu, Li Yuanba, and Li Cunxiao, and was defeated and retreated.

Guan Ping is nowhere to be found...

The tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under his command were captured one after another.

On the other hand.

To the north of the new capital, there were more than 30,000 Shu troops, led by Ma Dai himself.

Lu Bu sent Xu Shu, Li Yuanba, and Li Cunxiao to negotiate, wanting to absorb Ma Dai's troops without blood, after all, Zhuge Liang was captured, and Ma Dai was the general of Xiliang, so there was no reason to work for Liu Bei.

"General Ma, if you have any requests, you can mention them, and I can promise you." In the tent, Xu Shu and Ma Dai were interviewed.

In order to ensure Xu Shu's safety, Li Yuanba personally guarded Xu Shu. Li Cunxiao stood outside the tent, always paying attention.

Ma Dai was also surrounded by a lot of generals.

"Mr. Yuan Zhi should know that my cousin, General Ma Chao, is still following Uncle Liu Huang. If I submit to Lu Bu now, isn't it suspected of being a traitor seeking glory? ”

"How can it be a seller seeking glory? Even Zhuge Liang was captured by us, you abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, what's wrong? This is the trend of the times. Xu Shu smiled and said, "When Cao Cao attacked Xiliang, he killed your uncle, General Ma Teng, who is also Ma Chao's father. Zhuge Liang advises you to submit to obedience, and he must promise you that he will destroy Cao in the future, right? But in fact? Liu Bei himself is difficult to protect, how can he avenge you? Looking at the world, who else can compete with Cao Cao except my lord? ”

"This..."

Xu Shu said confidently: "General Ma Dai, I said something arrogant. Maybe it won't be long before Liu Bei will be captured by us, what's the use of your allegiance to him? Maybe by next year, even Cao Cao will perish. and the world shall be my lord. If you abandon darkness now and turn to light, you will have a chance to make a difference. If we wait until next year, when our lord returns to Yangzhou, the general will probably have no place to stay. ”

Ma Dai's face was contemplative...

In fact, he is very loyal to Liu Bei, and he admires Zhuge Liang the most.

But now the situation is different, Zhuge Liang was captured, Liu Bei's whereabouts are unknown, and Lu Bu is about to occupy Yizhou. As Xu Shu said, if he surrenders now, at least he can be a general. If you refuse, the consequences are unimaginable.

"If I am obedient, what will General Lu do to me?" Ma Dai hesitated for a moment and asked.

Hearing this, most of the worries in Xu Shu's heart disappeared. As long as he can satisfy Ma Dai, then everything is not a problem.

"General Ma Dai, do you know about Wuying Palace?"

"I know, that's what General Lu used to recruit the world's talents, how can I not know." Ma Dai replied.

Xu Shu nodded and said, "Exactly." Before I came, the lord said that with General Ma's martial arts, he could be promoted to the warrior of the Wuying Palace. If you are obedient, you will enjoy this honor. ”

"That's all?"

"Of course not. There are many more benefits. ”

Xu Shu sorted out the thoughts in his head, and then said: "And the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under your command, as well as the tens of thousands of Shu troops in the new capital, are all under your command. You will lead them and take Chengdu. If you can do this great work, the lord will seal you as the assassin of Yizhou and govern Yizhou in the future. If you don't like Yizhou, you can wait a little longer, wait until we occupy Liangzhou, and then give Liangzhou to the general.... ”
