"Damn, deserve to be killed!" Lu Bu took the information sent by the scout, and shook the cloth in his hand into pieces in an instant, he never expected that the northern army he had trained would betray him, unbelievable, unbelievable. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Come on, go and invite Mr. Gongtai over to discuss the military." After becoming angry, he also felt that he should deal with this matter as soon as possible.

"No!"

Chen Gong heard that Lu Bu had a big event to summon him, so he hurried over, "Why is King Liang angry?" ”

The news has been ruined by Lu Bu, so he can only tell Chen Gong again in person: "Chang'an has changed, this king didn't expect that the northern army trained by this king was easily bought by Liu Xie, and the most hateful thing for this king is Li Ru, Li Ru actually betrayed this king, so that this king did not receive the news until today." ”

It turned out that when Han Sui sent Yan Xing to conquer Michi and the troops approached Hangu Pass, Lu Bu knew that something had happened in Chang'an, but all his troops were placed in the Tiger Prison Pass, and there were very few defenders in Hangu Pass, plus they were attacked by Yan Xing, and soon Hangu Pass fell into the hands of Yan Xing.

Then news came from Chang'an, Liu Xie named Ma Teng as the general of the chariot cavalry, and wiped out Lu Bu's cronies, all the old departments of Xiliang rebelled, and even Li Su betrayed Lu Bu and was named General Wei and the Marquis by Liu Xie.

After Han Sui and Ma Teng entered Chang'an, Liu Xie felt that the overall situation had been decided, and he immediately ordered the arrest of Lu Bu's family, and Diao Chan was naturally not spared.

Chen Gong was also shocked by this sudden news and asked, "King Liang has a lot of trust in Zhang Ji's uncle and nephew, why didn't Zhang Ji warn King Liang?" ”

"Zhang Ji invited himself to Hedong Taishou, swaying left and right between Gaoshun and the Chang'an court, thinking that the king's killing of Dong Zhuo was exposed, so Li Ru betrayed the king, I knew that today, this king should have wiped out Dong Zhuo's people in the first place, and it would not cause today's disaster."

Lu Bu regretted it very much, he had long known that paper could not contain fire, but he had always been wary of the Kwantung princes before, but now after capturing Luoyang, he was unaware of it, and he was actually played by this group of villains that he didn't like, how willing did he be.

Chen Gong immediately said: "Now that King Liang has lost the opportunity, Chang'an is in rebellion, and the political situation in the DPRK and China has been controlled by Ma Teng and Han Sui, even if King Liang sends troops to attack Hangu Pass and lead his troops into Chang'an, it will be difficult to recover the defeat, but it will prompt Han Sui and Ma Teng to join forces to resist the enemy, and it is imperative that King Liang should wholeheartedly repel the Wei and Yan coalition forces, keep Luoyang as the top, and then wait for the opportunity to send troops to Yingchuan, attack Yuzhou, and occupy a piece of territory." ”

"Sir, is it asking this king not to send troops to attack Chang'an?" Lu Bu never expected that Chen Gong would give him such an idea, but now Diao Chan has fallen into the hands of Liu Xie, and his life and death are uncertain, how can he stand it.

"Yes, since the matter has come to this, King Liang might as well retreat as an advance, as the so-called mountain is difficult to accommodate two tigers, the emperor thinks that he can control the court by calling Han Sui and Ma Tengqin, but he doesn't know, Ma Teng and Han Sui are ambitious, but they are just two ministers, Han Sui and Ma Teng are deeply rooted in Liangzhou, and one mountain is difficult to accommodate two tigers, and if this goes on for a long time, the two will be filthy, and then I am afraid that the little emperor will be uncomfortable in the middle, and then it will be the opportunity of King Liang."

"Opportunity? What chances? Lu Bu asked curiously.

"Of course, it is to welcome the emperor back to the east, once Han Sui and Ma Teng fight for power and profit, the emperor will definitely be uncomfortable in the middle, and no one will put the emperor in his eyes at that time, in this way, the emperor will inevitably think of the good coming of King Liang, no need for us to attack Chang'an, I am afraid that the emperor himself will run back to the eastern capital, in this troubled world, the emperor is just a big man, who is in control can command the princes."

Speaking of this, Chen Gong suddenly said: "The general may be able to exchange one person for his family?" ”

"Who?"

"Ma Chao!" Chen Gong replied affirmatively: "If you only rely on Ma Teng, you will definitely not be Han Sui's opponent, but if there is Ma Chao, then Han Sui and Ma Teng will have equal strength, and when the time comes, the two tigers will fight, and the result will only be a defeat for both, so we only need to exchange Ma Chao for King Liang's family." ”

Although Lu Bu had the intention to punish Ma Chao, after all, Diao Chan was more important in his mind, and after thinking about it, he still agreed with Chen Gong's opinion.

"Gongtai, this matter will be handed over to you, this king is going to personally go to the Tiger Prison Pass to meet Yuan Shao and Su Chen for a while, this battle is related to the success or failure of this king's great cause, if it is protracted, it will be extremely unfavorable to this king, not to mention anything else, it is a big expense to support the consumption of grain and grass for the army of 300,000."

"King Liang rest assured, his subordinates will definitely handle this matter!"

Using Ma Chao to exchange Lu Bu's family, Chen Gong is very confident in this, if the emperor does not agree, it is undoubtedly self-isolation from Ma Teng, without his provocation, Ma Teng will naturally have a grudge against the emperor.

Ma Teng is not the commander of the light pole, he brought 80,000 soldiers and horses this time, although he can't catch up with Han Sui, but he is also a hero, not so easy to fool.

When Chen Gong brought the request for the exchange of hostages to Yan Xing, Yan Xing immediately reported the news to Han Sui, who was worried about how to win over Ma Teng to stand on the united front with him, so he immediately entered the palace and told the emperor.

When the emperor heard that he was going to let go of Lu Bu's family, he was immediately unhappy: "Aiqing, Lu Bu is a national thief, how can he exchange his family, if so, how can I explain to the people of the world, no, Lu Bu's family must be executed, I have already ordered it to go down, and Lu Bu's family will be executed after seven days, and I will personally watch the punishment at that time." ”

"This ......" Han Sui saw that the emperor's mind had been made and could not be changed, and he did not insist, but he was quite happy in his heart.

Of course, Liu Xie told Dong Cheng, Yang Biao and others about this matter as soon as possible, and Yang Biao agreed to exchange hostages, but Dong Cheng was not happy, and finally gave up.

Ma Teng was quite furious when he heard that the emperor did not agree to exchange hostages, didn't this make him watch his eldest son die with his own eyes? He didn't expect that he was recruited as King Qin, but in exchange for such a result, he didn't think about Ma Chao's safety, but the loyalty in his heart overcame family affection, he thought that Ma Chao had no chance of survival, but he didn't expect Lu Bu to agree to exchange hostages, which made him see the hope of the family again.

Unexpectedly, His Majesty would treat him like this, Ma Teng was very hurt, very hurt, but the order was given by the emperor, what could he do as a courtier?

Just when he was at a loss, his soldiers suddenly told him that Han Sui was visiting. Ma Teng and Han Sui are old acquaintances, thanks to Han Sui at the beginning, otherwise Ma Chao and his family would have died in the hands of Lu Bu, and now Han Sui has come to visit in person, which makes him seem to see hope again.
