After more than half a month, the fleet entered the Yellow River from the mouth of the Yellow River, and then moved west along the river. The inland river was stable, there was no wind and waves, and the fleet traveled smoothly, entering Weishui after more than ten days, and finally arrived in Chang'an.

On the ferry, Lu Yao turned on his horse and told Gan Ning to lead the naval division to garrison the ferry, and led the army to prepare to Chang'an. If you can catch up, you can also help Ma Chao capture Chang'an.

When the army was about to start, more than a dozen horsemen suddenly rushed from a distance. Before getting closer, Lu Yao could see clearly. Ma Chao took the lead and pulled the reins. Immediately, the horse stood up and came to a steady stop.

"I've seen the prince." Ma Chao turned over and dismounted, strode to Lu Yao's horse and hugged his fist.

Lu Yao's eyes swept away.

Ma Chao's mood was obviously very good, his face was full of red light, and his golden armor was shining in the sun, as if a god had descended from heaven, which made Lu Yao secretly smack his tongue.

One Lu, two horses, three Dian Wei, four passes, five Zhao, six Zhang Fei.

The first general in the Three Kingdoms period is none other than Lu Bu, and Ma Chao ranks second. used to look like a half-grown child, and he only treated Ma Chao as such, but he never thought that he hadn't seen him for many years, and Ma Chao, who had grown up, was like a different person.

"Big brother." Ma Dai came running from behind.

"Chang'an has been taken by someone, and the revenge of killing my father is just around the corner." Ma Chao held the sword in his left hand, and his eyes flashed with hatred.

"It's so good, Ling Ming also came with him this time." Ma Dai said, turned around and beckoned to the back: "Ling Ming, why don't you come and see my brother soon." ”

"Where is Ling Ming? I haven't seen you for many years, and I want to hurt me. Ma Chao was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly looked back.

Soon Pang De walked into sight, Ma Chao was overjoyed, strode up to Pang De, and enthusiastically punched him in the chest: "Good boy, if you don't fall into the prestige of my Xiliang Ma family." ”

"I've seen the eldest prince." Pound clenched his fists and saluted in a deep voice, neither humble nor arrogant.

Ma Chao smiled heartily and patted Pang De's shoulder hard, then turned to Lu Yao, hugged his fists and asked: "Lord Wang, follow a certain person to Chang'an to rest, if it weren't for the prince, a certain person would have already entered Tongguan and took the head of the Cao thief." ”

Lu Yao smiled, arched his hand, lightly clamped his legs, and walked in front of him.

Ma Chao immediately turned over and got on the horse, and rode the horse side by side with Ma Dai to lead the way, looking like a master. The brothers were talking and laughing in front of them, their eyebrows fluttering, and they were obviously very happy.

Lu Yao shook his head.

Ma Chao obviously didn't see through the situation. Now that Chang'an has been captured, it proves that Cao Cao's cutting of his beard and abandoning his robe has become a reality. Such a brilliant record made Ma Chao a little carried away. It is foreseeable that if he does not make a move, defeat at Tongguan is inevitable.

"My lord." Zhao Yun took a few steps faster, came behind Lu Yao and whispered angrily.

Lu Yao shook his head slightly, and raised his hand to interrupt Zhao Yun's words. He can understand why Ma Chao has become proud. Cao Cao dominates the north and is invincible. Ma Chao beat Cao Cao in Liangzhou in one place, which can be described as a miracle. If Xu Chu hadn't saved him desperately, history would have changed.

But it doesn't matter.

Ma Chao became proud, and it didn't hurt to ignore him. Heng Zhi came this time just to see if he could lay out in advance. Whether you can earn benefits or not is secondary, and it is not bad to train as a soldier. After all, since the expansion of the army for so long, the newly recruited recruits have little chance to fight the regular army except to fight the bandits and bandits. lacks the baptism of the battlefield, and the combat power has not yet reached its peak.

Seeing this, Zhao Yun had no choice but to give up.

Not only him, but Huang Zhong and the rest of the generals also showed indignation.

Ma Chao was quite polite when he came, but then he talked and laughed with his brother, treating Lu Yao as if he was nothing, how could he still ask for help. Now he regards himself as the master and regards Lu Yao as an entourage. How can you still bear it.

However, Lu Yao said that he didn't care, and the generals could only endure it.

The army soon arrived at the gate of Chang'an. A person was waiting at the city gate, and when he saw Ma Chao and the two brothers coming, he immediately laughed loudly and hurriedly greeted him: "Meng Qi, where is the prince?" ”

Lu Yao's eyes narrowed slightly, and he quickly looked at it, and he already knew it in his heart. This man is dressed as a scholar and dressed in civilian clothes, and he thinks it is Ma Teng's sworn brother Han Sui. He hadn't had a chance to see it before.

"Uncle, this is the prince." Ma Chao didn't wait for the mount to stop, turned over and dismounted vigorously, and laughed heartily to introduce Lu Yao to Han Sui.

"General Han Sui of Zhengxi has seen the prince." Han Sui smiled and arched his hand, his attitude was quite gentle.

"General Han doesn't have to be polite." Lu Yao turned over and dismounted, giving enough face.

Han Sui smiled even happier when he saw Lu Yao giving face like this, and stepped forward to pull Lu Yao to go into the city hand in hand. This made Zhao Yun and other generals even more angry. However, Lu Yao didn't say anything, and the generals could only endure it again.

The group did not stay long at the city gate, but entered the city gate. Chang'an, as the western capital, is not much different from Luoyang, but it is much deserted. Perhaps it was because they had just experienced the war, and the people could still see the panic on their faces, especially when they saw the army entering the city, they hurried back to the house.

Ma Chao behaved very actively, retreated halfway, and led Zhao Yun and other generals to lead the army to the barracks for settlement. Busy before and after, grain, grass and baggage and so on are readily available. After the army was settled, he took Zhao Yun and other generals to the palace for a banquet.

Frankly speaking, Han Sui knows how to be sophisticated and enthusiastic, and at the same time, he did not leave Lu Yao with the impression that Lao Tzu is the master, but came to the tourist resort like two old friends, talking and laughing.

When the generals entered the table with Ma Chao, the banquet began in the misty fairy sound and graceful dance. Under Ma Chao's arrogant shouting, Han Sui was gags on the side, and the atmosphere was also lively, and the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves for a while.

After chatting for a long time, Lu Yao excused himself from the fatigue of the journey and took the generals to leave. Seeing off Lu Yao and his party, Han Sui's eyes narrowed slightly and he groaned.

"Now that we have occupied Chang'an, and with the help of the prince, the destruction of the Cao thief is just around the corner." Ma Chao's interest was still very high, and as he spoke, he grabbed the wine bottle and poured a glass.

"It's a pity that a certain person is far away in Zhuya, and he has never fought on the battlefield with his brother, but let the Cao thief escape." Ma Dai shook his head and drank a glass of sullen wine. I knew that Cao Cao was such a weak chicken, so why was it necessary to go to Zhuya to ask Lu Yao. Thinking of this, he remembered Pound, and his spirit immediately improved.

"It's not useless, this time Ling Ming returns, I am like a tiger with wings, and I will be able to take Tongguan and Luoyang in a few days. Both the east and the west are occupied, and it is not impossible to compete in the Central Plains. The more Ma Dai spoke, the more excited he became, and his eyes were full of light, as if the unification of the world was just around the corner.

"Ling Ming? Could it be the little guy next to you and your brother in the past? Han Sui thought about it and asked curiously.

"Uncle couldn't be more wrong. Ling Ming has been brave since he was a child, and his bravery is not inferior to a certain one. If it weren't for his father's insistence on giving it to the prince as a concubine, how could Ling Ming go to Zhuya. If you have Ling Ming's help, I am afraid that I am not here at this moment, and I have been drinking in Luoyang Palace. Ma Chao said brightly.

Han Sui was immediately overjoyed, and said with a choke of words: "I don't want to have such a tiger man." In this case, why do you need the prince's help? ”

Ma Chao shook his head and sighed: "Don't underestimate the prince." ”
