Chen Gong nodded and seconded Jia Xu's opinion: "What Wen He said is very true, if the lord wants to attack Xichuan, in addition to defending Han Sui in the north, the Qiang people in the west also have to defend it!" ”

Lu Bu's eyes flashed with uncontrollable anger, this failure was all blamed on his carelessness, which made Han Sui and Liang Shuang take advantage of the loophole for a while, in addition, there are also those wealthy clans and Qiang people who rebelled together, this batch of blood debts He will record them in the account one by one, and they will definitely pay for their blood debts in the coming year, thinking of this, Lu Bu slammed his fist on the table: "The recovery of Longxi is imminent, what plan do the two gentlemen have?" ”

Jia Xu walked to the table, pointed to the cowhide map on it and said: "Han Sui, Liang Shuang, Burning Dangqiang, and Shenwolf Qiang jointly sent troops, the whole territory of Longxi fell, Han Sui and Liang Shuang divided the Weishui, returned to Han Sui in the north, Liang Shuang in the south, and returned to the Qiang realm in Erqiang, if we want to recover the lost territory, the lord can divide the army into four ways, all the way to attack Didao, all the way to Shouyang, all the way to Lintao, all the way to attack the county, and four battles can recover Longxi County!" ”

Chen Gong saw that Lu Bu was a little hesitant, and said with a smile: "The lord doesn't want to give up Great Xia and Heguan Counties?" ”

Lu Bu scratched his sideburns and smiled awkwardly, he really didn't want to give up the Great Xia counties, although these counties were far away from the administrative office, and it was more difficult to collect taxes, but although the grasshopper was small, it was also a piece of meat, wasn't it? But all the heroes and heroes in the troubled times are fighting for the land and the people, and it is impossible to give up because they are three melons and two dates.

Jia Xu and Chen Gong looked at each other and smiled, and admonished: "Lord, now our army is not strong enough, which is not conducive to dispersing the garrison, this rebellion, Huang Zhong and Zhang Liao, the two generals, almost became a lone army, and Heguan and other counties are not considered military towns, since Han Sui wants, we will give it to him, as long as our army recaptures Didao and other counties, and Hanyang County is connected with a city, it will be like a stormy iron bucket, as long as we are strong in the iron bucket, we can prove Xichuan in less than three years, and achieve hegemony!" ”

Lu Bu clenched his fists, got up and paced back and forth in the big tent, pondered for a while, turned to look at the two strategists under the tent and said, "Just according to what the two military advisors said!" ”

Early the next morning, Chen Gong and Jia Xu came to Lu Bu's big tent again, and when they saw Lu Bu who was still sleeping soundly on the couch, the two glanced at each other, and then tiptoed to quit.

"The two military advisors are here!"

In fact, Lu Bu had already woken up, he was just closing his eyes to recuperate, and after a few days of running, he was already exhausted, got up and rubbed his temples under his forehead, and called Chen Gong and Jia Xu in a low voice.

Jia Xu smiled slightly, and arched his hand: "Lord Qi, the three generals Huang Zhong, Gao Shun, and Gan Ning have sent good news, saying that the enemy who invaded the territory heard that the lord had returned to help, and all of them retreated, and only General Gao Shun said in the letter whether to take the opportunity to recover Xixian. ”

"Order the generals to go back to Longxian County for discussion, as for the question raised by Gao Shun, what do the two gentlemen think?" Lu Bu opened his eyes abruptly and said.

Chen Gong said unhurriedly: "Regain Xixian County, kill chickens and make an example of monkeys!" ”

Lu Bu turned his head to look at Jia Xu again, and after seeing Jia Xu nodding, he turned over and walked to the table, wrote down the order vigorously, stamped it and handed it to Chen Gong, Chen Gong took the letter, and immediately strode out of the big tent, and handed the letter to the sentry who was waiting outside the account, because it was an extraordinary period, all the sentry horses stood outside Lu Bu's account all day, and passed the military order at any time.

When Chen Gong returned to the big tent again, Lu Bu had already put on a black suit, which made his whole person look heroic, tall and powerful, and the gradually dense stubble under his chin added a sense of mystery and vicissitudes to him.

The three of them discussed in the big tent again, and finally decided to hand over the defense of Xiangwu to Li Feng, Lu Bu led the army back to Longxian, and after finalizing the attention, Lu Bu summoned Li Feng to the big tent to explain, and saw that the matter had been almost resolved, and Lu Bu had the opportunity to wash and eat.

At ten o'clock in the afternoon, the army has been assembled under the city of Xiangwu to standby, with Lu Bu's order, the army began to slowly move closer to Longxian, along the way, the army bumped into a lot of refugees who returned to their hometowns, these refugees are in order to escape the war and leave their hometowns, I heard that Lu Bu has beaten the Qiang people away, so they helped the old and the young, and returned to their hometowns.

Lü Bu's banner was waved in the wind on the pipeline, and the refugees from all walks of life burned incense and prayed after seeing it, greeting along the way, in their opinion, if Lü Bu had not beaten the Qiang people away, they would not know what year and month they would have returned to their hometown.

Seeing the people who kept giving up their hands along the way, Ma Chao urged Ma to walk to Lu Bu's side, and squeezed Cheng Lian beside Lu Bu away, Cheng Lian immediately raised his eyebrows and was ready to scold, but when he saw Lu Bu's tiger eyes glaring at him, he shrank his neck in fear, and immediately raised his hand to make way for Ma Chao.

Ma Chao glanced at Cheng Lian triumphantly, rode his horse and walked side by side with Lu Bu, Cheng Lian was furious, snorting and panting, but Lu Bu covered Ma Chao, so that Cheng Lian dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, looking left and right alone, looking at the customs along the way.

"Meng Qi, if you don't stay with your father, what are you doing before you come to the army?"

Ma Teng is now a lonely man, the soldiers and horses of the two counties of Anding and Beidi do not listen to the order, and the rest of the counties are all rebelling, and now all his hopes are pinned on the body of the Xiqiang general Yue Xi, the king of Xiqiang and the prime minister of Xiqiang have died, Yue Xi is the most likely to become the new king of Xiqiang, if he can get the support of Yue Xi, he will have a chance to make a comeback, but it will take a long time to contact Yue Xi, so Ma Teng decided to go to Longxian with Lu Bu for the time being to wait for news.

"They have my father to take care of, I'm used to life on horseback, I'm not used to riding a carriage, Uncle Pang went to Xiqiang to contact Yuexi again, I'm too bored to be alone, so I want to ask Wen Hou for advice!"

Lu Bu looked at Ma Chao strangely and asked, "What are you asking for?" ”

Ma Chao didn't beat around the bush, and directly explained his original intention: "Wen Hou, when I grow up, can I really defeat you?" ”

"Ugh!"

Lu Bu was stunned, he didn't expect Ma Chao to be so persistent, and he was very helpless: "Meng Qi, why do you want to defeat me?" ”

"No why, I just want to defeat you, although I am still young, but I also know that when you are strong, you are strong, and when you are weak, you are weak, in Dahan, I dare to say that there are only a handful of people who are comparable to Wenhou, or there is no at all, my master once said to me, as long as I practice marksmanship perfectly, the whole Han will be at my disposal, but I only knew after seeing you lead a hundred horsemen to charge into battle yesterday, I only knew that there are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the sky, so I want to defeat you and prove that I am also very strong!"

Lu Bu acquiesced, although he didn't know who Ma Chao's master was, but he could teach an apprentice like Ma Chao, presumably martial arts were not under him, and Zhang Xiu's master Tong Yuan, he could be called the god of guns by everyone, presumably martial arts have touched the highest level of martial arts, but he is still so far behind, so he still needs to hone it, if there is a chance, he must let Zhang Xiu take him to see Tong Yuan.

"If there really is a day when I don't die and you live, I will fight you!"

Before Ma Chao could speak, Lu Bu continued: "Can you also call the old Wenhou Wenhou, your father is only a few years older than me, can you call me uncle?" ”

Ma Chao's face turned red for a moment, and he coughed lightly in embarrassment: "Uncle Wenhou, I'll go to the back to take care of my younger brothers and sisters, say goodbye!" ”

Looking at Ma Chao, who was already urging the horse to the rear, Lu Bu looked at him: Uncle Wenhou, this kid
