Chapter Forty-Six: The Masters of the World Grow Together
Yang Wan sat in a delicate and beautiful carriage and quietly arrived at Anding City under the protection of hundreds of sergeants.
Ma Chao was shocked when he heard the news, and hurriedly led the army back to the Shuaifu, and after a little greeting, he asked, "Sister Wan, why are you here?" There will be a big war here at any time, and it is not safe. ”
Yang Wanren is as her name suggests, and her personality is very gentle. Stroked Ma Chao's cheek: "I'll come to see you, husband." Long time no see, you've lost a lot of weight. ”
Ma Chao is brave and stern on weekdays, but he only showed a watery tenderness in front of Yang Wan: "Sister Wan, when I kill Lu Bu and avenge my father, I will go back to Wuwei and marry you." I'll be with you every day, okay? Now that you've seen me, you'll leave early. This is the battlefield! ”
Yang Wan's eyes turned red: "Brother Chao, you always said that you would marry me only after avenging your father, but I was scared every day in Wuwei." That, that's Lu Bu, who is known as the ghost god of the Tiger Prison! Brother Chao, is it okay to take your time for revenge? You don't have children yet, so when you have children, can you take revenge? ”
Ma Chao frowned: "No, my father's revenge will not be avenged for a day, and my Ma Chao will be ashamed of my father for a day!" Even if I unfortunately die at the hands of Lu Bu, there are still Ma Xiu and Ma Tie, you don't have to worry. ”
Yang Wan suddenly diverted the topic: "Brother Chao, I heard that Lu Bu sent someone to propose to you?" Sure enough, the world-famous Jin Ma Chao, even Lu Bu's daughter likes it! ”
Ma Chao was actually a little nervous: "Sister Wan, it turns out that you are here for this?" Hey, don't worry, I've scolded Lu Bu's messenger away. If it weren't for Yunlu to stop me, I would have killed Liwei. My Ma Chao's wife will only be you, don't worry! ”
Yang Wan smiled and shook her head: "Brother Chao, you are wrong. I'm not here to dissuade you, I'm here to tell you that I'm willing to be a flat wife and let you marry Lu Lingqi as a wife. Lu Bu sits on the land of the subordinate, holds the Son of Heaven in his hand, and has only one beloved daughter under his command. If you marry his daughter, won't the world be yours in the future? How could you miss such an opportunity. With Lu Bu's support, who else in this world can stop you? ”
Ma Chao was silent for a moment and said, "Then my father's revenge, won't you take revenge?" As the son of a horse family, how can I marry the daughter of an enemy? ”
Yang Wan said softly: "When Uncle Ma is here, isn't his greatest wish for the prosperity of the family? As the saying goes, it is better to settle a grievance than to settle it, if Lu Bu can use his daughter and the place of Si Li to compensate, I believe that Uncle Ma's spirit in the sky will not be pursued again. ”
After a pause, Yang Wan said again: "Brother Chao, it's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years. It's really not good, wouldn't it be much easier to find a way to get rid of Lu Bu after the marriage? The so-called soldiers do not tire of deceit, and revenge does not have to be completed on the battlefield. There are many ways to get revenge! ”
Ma Chao looked at Yang Wan with some surprise and fell silent completely.
Yang Wan still didn't leave, she stayed in the Shuai Mansion, took care of Ma Chao every day, and her gentle offensive also made Ma Chao unbearable to urge her to go back. Anyway, Lu Bujun will not come to attack the city again in the near future, so it will be up to him first.
With Yang Wan here, Lu Bu did not come to attack the city, and Ma Chao did not summon Fazheng for many days, but only sent some guards to protect Fazheng. It's actually called protection, but it's actually surveillance.
When Zhou Qing came back from Wu Zhaojun, Fa Zheng chatted with him for a few words, and probably understood that the information had reached Wu Zhao's ears. Seeing that the situation was unfavorable to him, Fa Zheng simply asked to see Ma Chao, claiming that he wanted to resign.
Ma Chao was shocked: "Mr. Fazheng, Meng Qi has always been obedient to Mr. and has never been lazy, why did Mr. suddenly resign?" ”
Fa Zheng said with a smile: "General Tian, Lu Bu sent people to ask for relatives, which is really a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. It is advisable for the general to marry as soon as possible, and then the Ma and Lu families will join forces to level the Central Plains, and the Zhongxing Han family will not be a problem. The war here is almost over, and the law is useless here, so please resign and return to the pastoral office of my lord Wuzhou. Lu Bu only has one daughter, and the war between Wu Zhoumu and Lu Bu will not stop no matter what. ”
Ma Chao shouted: "Mr. Fazheng, I have expelled the envoy of Lu Bujun, and this marriage is purely imaginary. On the same day, when Lu Bu's army almost defeated our army, Mr. Shi came and came up with a clever plan to save our army from fire and water. Now that Lu Bu's army is still outside the city of Anding, is the gentleman going to abandon me? ”
Seeing that Ma Chao's tone was not firm, Fa Zheng knew that he had wavered about the marriage. He arched his hand and said: "General Tian, if the alliance between Xiliang and Yizhou is unbreakable, my Fa Zheng will naturally help each other, and there is no reason to abandon it." But if the alliance is broken by Lu Bu, our law is staying in stability, and it is just one more head for Lu Bu's army. Lu Bu's wolf ambition is the most untrustworthy person in the world, and my lord Wu Yizhou will definitely fight with Lu Bu to the end, and he will be destroyed quickly. Fa Zheng is willing to return to Wu Yizhou's side and confront Lu Bu and Jia Xu happily. I also hope that the general will be fulfilled. ”
Ma Chao repeatedly persuaded hard: "Although the alliance with Wuzhou Muzhi is run by Yunluo, Mr.'s strategy is really of too much help to my Xiliang. I summoned Yun Luo to discuss the matter of marriage. Please stay a few more days, sir! ”
After that, he got up and left the house, and went straight to Ma Yunluo's camp: "Yunluo, Sister Wanmei was summoned by someone you sent, right?" Do you know that if we marry Lu Bu, we will not only be scolded by the world as disloyal and unfilial, but also lose reinforcements from Yizhou? According to the secret agent's report, Wu Zhao has led the army back to Yangping Pass, and our army is already facing Lu Bu's army alone again. Now that Fa Zheng has also resigned, can you resist Jia Xu's poisonous plan? ”
Ma Yunluo was worried about the attack of the grassland demon wolf, and hoped to use Chang'an Luoyang to rescue Liu Bei, which was to promote the marriage. Seeing Ma Chao come to ask, he naturally argued on the basis of reason: "Big brother, even if Wu Zhoumu sends troops to help, can we defeat Lu Bu and take revenge?" He was forced to move by a mere Liao in Youfufeng County, and Lu Bu lacked Zhang Liao and had an extra Xu Huang! Wu Zhao's retirement does not mean that he has abandoned the alliance. After we marry Lu Bu, we can also promote the alliance between Yizhou and Chang'an! At that time, the three of them worked together to sweep away the Central Plains, so why not? Big brother, you promise to marry first, and I'll deal with the little sister of Wu Zhao. Wu Zhao will not sit idly by and watch our army be destroyed by Lu Bu, and Fa Zheng's resignation is just a strategy of retreating as advance. Although Wu Zhao didn't want to see our army marry Lu Bu, we cut it first and then played, and after the marriage, he could only accept this result! Big brother, you are a Shenwei Heavenly General, how can you be such a mother-in-law? ”
Ma Chao's sister, who has always been inferior to his own on his tongue, was choked speechless. The brother and sister argued several times, but Ma Chao couldn't resist Ma Yunluo's words, so he had to be defeated. After returning home, he didn't dare to summon Fazheng, and drank sullen wine alone.
General Pang De suddenly pushed the door in: "Lord, why are you drinking here alone?" Don't call me either! ”
Although Ma Chao and his name are master, they are actually like brothers, and they are not polite: "I'm worried about Lu Buti's relatives!" I called you to come, and you couldn't drink it. ”
Pound laughed: "Lord, how can there be a beauty who sends it to the door and pushes it out?" Since Lu Buti is pro, the Lord is fair! Fa Zheng really wants to resign, so let him go. Lu Buwan changed his face to attack, my Xiliang boy is not a mud carving, and Miss Yunluo has also recruited a lot of capable people, everyone works together, must it be inferior to that Fazheng? ”
Ma Chao raised his neck and drank a glass of sake: "Yunluo's subordinates are all women, what can a woman's family do!" It's okay to intrigue at home, can it be compared with the poisoner Jia Xu? In addition, Lu Bu's wolf ambition, Jia Xu's poisonous schemes are frequent, and after the marriage, I am afraid that I will not only be unable to avenge my father, but also be murdered by Jia Xu's design! I hate myself for having no counsellors! ”
Pang De suddenly smiled: "Lord, don't hide it, Pang De went to the mountains to hunt and met a Taoist chief in the Taoist temple in the mountains. That Dao looks elegant and talks extraordinary. Pound talked about the world's major affairs, and this person had a good understanding of the world's affairs. Just a few words can solve Pound's lifelong doubts. Pound tried again and again, but the man still refused to go down the mountain. Therefore, I came to see the lord and wanted to recommend this person to the lord. Why didn't the lord go with me, invite him, and ask him what to do? If this person helps, Mr. Fa Zheng will resign, and the lord will not have to worry about Jia Xu's design harm. ”
Ma Chao was overjoyed: "Ling Ming has a stable personality, which can make you admire, and he must indeed be a master of the world." Well, I'll go with you! Come on, prepare the horses! ”
