Chapter 307: Causing trouble for Lu Bu
The battle on the field is getting hotter and hotter, Wen Chou and Ma Chao have been fighting for more than an hour, and they still haven't decided the winner, but Su Chen can see that Wen Chou is already at the end of the crossbow, and Ma Chao still has the strength to spare.

Sure enough, within a few rounds, only Wen Chou was heard screaming, and Yuan Shao hurriedly ordered the sergeant Mingjin to withdraw his troops.
"Ding! Bite! Bite! ā
"Shhh Seeing this scene on the field, Rao is Su Chen was surprised, and he had to praise: "What a Jin Ma Chao, the marksmanship is so good, three shots pierced Wen Chou's right arm, Wen Chou is afraid that it will be wasted, even if the injury is good, he will not be able to hold a gun in his right hand in the future, in this way, the martial arts will definitely drop a step, after today, Ma Chao's name is only afraid that it will resound throughout the Han world." ā
"Lu Bu has brave generals like Ma Chao under his command, but I am afraid that this tiger prison will be difficult to break for a while, although as long as the land of a state, this Lu Bu's strength is not weak at all, and the Xiliang Army under his command can be called a strong force in the world, coupled with the assistance of Ma Chao and Zhang Xiu, a young generation of powerful generals, Lu Bu will be a strong opponent of the prince in the future."
Guo Jia's analysis is very thorough, indeed, Lu Bu will be a strong opponent of Su Chen in the future, Su Chen has long thought of this, and it is precisely because of this that he will send troops to help Yuan Shao attack Lu Bu, it doesn't matter if Luoyang can get it back, the important thing is that he wants to take this opportunity to let Lu Bu and Yuan Shao consume each other's strength.
"Feng Xiao, later, you will send a bottle of Rejuvenation Pill to Wen Chou, which can be regarded as visiting this fierce general for me."
"Subordinates obey!"
The coalition army collected troops and returned to the camp, Ma Chao returned to the pass triumphantly, enjoying the praise of the generals under his command, but he went out of the customs to fight without authorization, and had violated the military order, Xu Rong was very strict in governing the army, Ma Chao violated the military law, and just entered the pass, he was surrounded by Xu Rong's own soldiers.
Ma Chao's subordinates naturally couldn't let Xu Rong's personal soldiers take Ma Chao away, the two teams confronted each other in the pass, and almost broke out into a conflict, after Xu Rong arrived, he sat on the horse and shouted: "Ma Chao, you disobeyed the military order and went out to fight without permission, do you plead guilty?" ā
"Hmph, what a crime my Ma Chao has!" has just won a big victory, how could Ma Chao admit his guilt when he is complacent.
Xu Rong is the chief general of the Tiger Prison Pass, his majesty will never be offended, seeing that Ma Chao does not admit his guilt, Xu Rong waved his hand, and a steady stream of sergeants surrounded Ma Chao's thousands of cavalry.
"Ma Chao, you still refuse to admit your guilt when you go out of the customs without authorization, do you want to rebel? The acquaintance laid down his arms and surrendered, and after the marshal reported to King Liang, he waited for the fate. ā
"You!" Ma Chao had the heart to resist, but the situation was stronger than people, and he looked at the sergeants around him, and after all, he couldn't bear to suffer with his soldiers, so he had to put down the spear in his hand and let Xu Rong fall.
"Come on, take Ma Chao down, take care of it!"
After Ma Chao was taken down, his thousands of cavalry were also guarded to prevent a mutiny, the Tiger Prison was guarded by Xu Rong's 100,000 troops, Ma Chao's thousands of soldiers and horses couldn't make any waves, he did this just to avoid unnecessary trouble.
When Lu Bu, who was sitting on the dragon chair of the Luoyang Palace, got Xu Rong's recital, he was also a little embarrassed, Ma Chao went to war without authorization, disobeyed the military order, and the lack of punishment was not enough to deter the three armies and maintain military discipline, but Ma Chao was defeated and made a meritorious contribution.
It just so happened that at this time, Chen Gong came in from outside the door, saw Lu Bu frowning, and asked, "Why is King Liang worried?" ā
"The military advisor is here, you can take a look!" Lu Bu handed the report in his hand to Chen Gong.
Lu Bu attacked Luoyang, Chang'an was led by Li Ru and Jia Xu, and Chen Gong was taken by him to give advice, these years, Lu Bu also cultivated his own cronies, it turned out that Zhang Ji Fan Chou in the Xiliang army was very aware of the current affairs in the first time to submit to Lu Bu, these years of conscientiousness, won the trust of Lu Bu.
And Duan Xuan and his ilk, their hearts are towards the Han family, Lu Bu is held high, Ming Sheng secretly descended, and arranged him to enter the court as an official, without any real power, that is, a false position, and the original Niu Fu and other Dong Zhuo's family members were gradually deprived of military power, only Li Ru was reused by Lu Bu, and in order to balance Li Ru, Lu Bu promoted Jia Xu.
After Chen Gong read Xu Rong's recital, he asked, "What does King Liang plan to do with Ma Chao?" ā
"This king is having a headache for this, Ma Chao disobeyed the military order, went out to fight without authorization, and should be punished according to military regulations, but Ma Chao defeated the enemy general Wen Chou, this credit is not small, it should be rewarded, this punishment is not good, the reward is not right, this king really doesn't know how to be good, I don't know what the military advisor taught me?" Although Li Ru and Jia Xu are both his think tanks, Lu Bu has only trusted Chen Gong the most for so many years.
After hearing this, Chen Gong smiled and said: "King Liang doesn't have to worry, from the courtier's point of view, Ma Chao must be punished and rewarded." ā
"Oh? How to penalize? And how to reward? ā
"Disobeying the military order is a big crime, King Liang can order Ma Chao to be beaten with fifty military sticks as a punishment, but after all, Ma Chao abolished the enemy general Wen Chou, this credit is not small, King Liang can promote Ma Chao to the general of Yulin Zhonglang, in order to show his importance to Ma Chao, in this way, Ma Chao is bound to be grateful to King Liang."
Chen Gong talked eloquently, and Lu Bu felt feasible when he heard this suggestion, which not only maintained Xu Rong's authority, but also compensated Ma Chao, which was considered to kill two birds with one stone, and immediately gave Ma Chao two edicts in the name of the imperial court.
After Ma Chao heard this punishment and reward, not only did he not resent Lu Bu, but he was extremely grateful to Lu Bu, fifty military sticks seemed to be a lot, but in fact, for a monk like them who cultivated exquisitely, it was just a delicate disease, and it would be no big problem to lie in bed for two days at most.
However, after this battle, Ma Chao no longer dared to disobey Xu Rong's military orders, and after the people of the world learned that Ma Chao was defeated by Wen Chou, they also had a new understanding of Lu Bu, Lu Bu was originally one of the best generals, there are few opponents in the world, and now he has added brave generals such as Ma Chao, plus he coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and the orthodox status has been recognized by more and more people.
Even the scholars under Su Chen and Yuan Shao admired Lu Bu and thought that they could serve Lu Bu, and when the news reached Su Chen's ears, his expression was very solemn.
"Fengxiao, what's the news coming from Chang'an?"
"My lord, according to the news from Commander Sun, after Lu Bu left Chang'an, Emperor Liu Xie was ready to move, and under the collusion of the Han clan relatives and loyal ministers, a big drama of reversing Lu was already brewing."
"Hmm." In private, Guo Jia still likes to call him the lord, one is out of habit, and the other is to appear close, "There will be no big war on the coalition side for a while, you can't let Lu Bu be idle, it's time to find something for him, you send an order to Sun Binshuo, let him secretly add a fire to the old department of Xiliang, this king doesn't believe that Dong Zhuo's old department in the past doesn't want to avenge Dong Zhuo at all, if they know that Lu Bu is the mastermind of the murder of Dong Zhuo, I don't know how they will feel." ā
