"I'm Ma Chao, nicknamed Meng Qi, and I'm here to pay homage to the Grand Master!" Ma Chao walked straight into the hall, bowed his hands to Dong Zhuogong in a very skillful manner, and said loudly.
Lu Bu listened to Ma Chao's voice like a bell, and his walk like a gust of wind. He wore a tailor-made silver armor draped on his slightly thin body, which gave him a unique charm. Goodbye Ma Chao had a fair complexion and a handsome face.
His eyes, the confidence on his face, and his arrogant momentum reminded him of his younger self, and he couldn't help but smile knowingly.
Ma Chao squinted and saw Lu Bu laughing, he thrust his spear forward and shouted: "Hey! What are you laughing at?"
Lu Bu ignored Ma Chao. He was not ready to be violent with a child. He cupped his hands directly towards Dong Zhuo and said, "Grand Master..."
As soon as he said these words, he felt a sharp cold air coming from the side. He instinctively turned sideways and dodged back. There was a flash of cold light before meeting him, and a sharp spear passed by his eyes. He frowned slightly and stretched out his hand.
He took action, grabbed the spear in front of him, looked coldly and angrily at Ma Chao who was holding the gun, and shouted in a low voice: "Little brat! Don't bully others too much!"
This move made everyone present confused, but no one went up to persuade them, and they were stunned for a while, because the aura brought by Ma Chao was already like that of an adult, and maybe some adults are not.
There must be that kind of momentum.
Ma Chao chuckled, and at 1.43 meters tall, he opened his mouth and said, "Are you Lu Bu? I want to challenge you!"
Lu Bu threw out Ma Chao's spear with a wave of his hand, which also made Ma Chao who was holding the spear take many steps back. Ma Chao almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Ma Chao was on guard and pulled the spear in his hand.
He used the tail of his gun to prop up the ground and prop up his whole body, so that he wouldn't fall down in embarrassment.
"Go away!" Lu Bu's eyes flashed with light and he said casually, "I don't have time to pay attention to you, a yellow-haired boy!"
Ma Chao was also secretly shocked. Lu Bu's swing just now was so powerful. The father he usually admired the most didn't necessarily have that kind of strength. He almost knocked him over. However, he
I have developed this kind of character since I was a child. When I am strong, I will be strong, which will make me more excited. I put the spear in my hand and punched it on the ground. A small hole was made on the stone paved ground. This
His strength is already outstanding among his peers.
He stuck his hands together, spread his legs, stood there with his back straight, and said loudly: "Lu Bu, I heard about your reputation on the way here, but I am not afraid of you, I want to challenge you!"
Of all the people present, there was no one who drew blood on the edge of a knife, and no one who had experienced hundreds of battles to become a general, but who dared to challenge Lu Bu like this? Everyone saw Lu Bu's martial arts, which was almost superb.
I am very afraid of it. But
, everyone looked at Ma Chao who dared to challenge Lu Bu at a young age, and secretly admired Ma Chao's courage. However, they admired him, and no one took it seriously, because the difference in strength was too big for a ten-year-old child.
How could he possibly be Lu Bu's opponent? They couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Ma Teng immediately stood in front of Ma Chao and said to Ma Chao: "Meng Qi, don't be embarrassed and conspicuous in front of the Grand Master, go back as soon as possible!"
"Father, I..." When Ma Chao saw Ma Teng coming to stop him, the heroic spirit on his face immediately disappeared. For him, his father's words were very important.
Lu Bu suddenly turned around, interrupted Ma Chao's words, stared at Ma Chao in front of him with two snake-like eyes, and asked loudly: "Is your name Ma Chao?"
Ma Chao turned his head and saw that Lu Bu was staring at him. He immediately stepped out from behind Ma Teng, crossed his arms, held his head high, and replied with an aura of looking down on the world: "I am Ma Chao.
Why...are you not convinced?"
Lu Bu sneered: "I accept your challenge, but the sword has no eyes. If you die in my hands..."
Ma Teng turned around quickly, stepped in front of Lu Bu and Ma Chao, looked at Lu Bu sternly, and said loudly: "Lu Bu, I respect you as a hero, how can you behave like a child?"
"I'm not a child..." Ma Chao showed his head again, and as soon as he shouted a few words, Ma Teng's hand covered his mouth, followed by the sound of "Ouch".
Seeing Ma Teng's eagerness to protect his son, Lu Bu sneered, turned around, cupped his hands towards Dong Zhuo and said, "Grand Master, please send troops. I will be at your disposal at any time."
Dong Zhuo hasn't seen such a conflicting atmosphere for a long time. Since Li Jue's death, his ears have become much quieter, but he also feels that something is missing. Today I saw the relationship between Ma Chao, Ma Teng and Lu Bu
He also felt a little happy that the dispute had resumed.
Wei. He glanced sideways at Li Ru, who was standing aside, and felt a sense of sadness in his heart. He needed a resourceful person like Li Ru, but he also hoped to get another person like Li Jue who would work under him wholeheartedly.
But just to gain fame.
When there is a dispute, there will be factions. He doesn't like his subordinates all turning to one side, which can easily lead to problems. What he has to do is to set up another independent force that can fight against Li Ru. With this
Only with this kind of motivation and this kind of balance can he weigh between the two factions, and his power will never fall aside. He calls this method power.
Ma Chao's appearance today made him see the shadow of Li Jue, and at the same time, he had the idea in his heart that he could take this opportunity to help this unique show. He stood up slowly and straightened up.
With a rich belly, he waved to Ma Chao and shouted: "Meng Qi, come here!"
Ma Chao responded and walked forward without fear. Facing Dong Zhuo, who was intimidated by everyone, he had a calm face without any disturbance. When he walked to Dong Zhuo, Ma Chao cupped his fists and said, "What's wrong with Grand Master?"
Order?"
Dong Zhuo saw that Ma Chao was so sensible. Even though he was still a child, his aura of being unconvinced by no one was clearly revealed. He touched Ma Chao's fair face and smiled knowingly. When he raised his head, he looked at the person standing in the middle of the hall.
Ma Teng said: "Shou Cheng, I now appoint you as General Zhenxi, Mu of Liangzhou, please don't live up to my expectations of you."
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was shocked. Everyone understood that Liangzhou was Dong Zhuo's foundation. Not to mention Liangzhou's pastor, even Liangzhou's governor was Dong Zhuo's concurrent post, and he never gave it to others easily.
Li Ru was even more shocked when he saw this quite dramatic scene. Seeing that Dong Zhuo's love for Ma Chao exceeded everyone else, his heart felt as if he was being pressed by a huge stone, which almost made him cry.
He was out of breath. He was a smart man and knew his father-in-law's character very well. At this time, he suddenly named Ma Teng the Mu of Liangzhou and the General of Zhenxi. This was to establish a unique force within his sphere of influence.
And he knew the purpose of doing so.
Li Ru took a step forward and hurriedly clasped his fists and said: "Grand Master, please think twice. Liangzhou is the foundation of Grand Master. What if..."
"Li Ru, don't you even listen to my orders?" Dong Zhuo knew very well what his son-in-law was like. On the surface, he complimented him, but on the inside he was very cunning and cunning. He was many times superior to him. He did
Many of the evil deeds he committed were Li Ru's ideas.
Li Ru said hurriedly: "I don't dare to..."
"I have made up my mind. Now that I am in the capital, far away from Liangzhou, it is time to find someone to guard Liangzhou for me. Although Ma Teng's ancestral home is Maoling in Youfufeng, he was born in Longxi
, I have been living among the Qiang and Hu since I was a child, and I am well aware of the complex situation in Liangzhou. With such a person sitting in Liangzhou, I can feel a little at ease."
Li Rudao: "Grand Master, Guo Si, Zhang Ji, and Fan Chou have all followed the Grand Master for a long time. Why..."
"You don't need to say any more, this matter is settled like this. Guo Si, Zhang Ji, and Fan Chou are my favorite generals, so naturally they will stay by my side. And you, you will always stay by my side.
I still need to discuss many things with you." Dong Zhuo
He said loudly, "In addition, Han Sui, I appoint you as your Anxi General. Your reputation in Liangzhou is loud enough to convince the wealthy families and squires in Liangzhou. You will be the governor of Liangzhou, with Ma Teng as the chief. You
As deputy, we will guard Liangzhou together."
Ma Teng and Han Sui were both extremely happy. Neither of them thought about why Dong Zhuo did this. After hearing Dong Zhuo's words, they clasped their fists together and said, "Thank you, Grand Master, for the gift."
Seeing that Dong Zhuo had sealed Han Sui's title, Li Ru finally calmed down and thought to himself: "The Grand Master is worthy of being the Grand Master. He used Ma Teng to separate the powers. He was afraid that the power would fall into my hands, but he was not afraid of Ma Teng."
Teng dominated Liangzhou and used Han Sui to decentralize power again. Such power tactics are really too clever..."
After Dong Zhuo finished his instructions, he immediately said to Lu Bu: "Feng Xian, you immediately lead your own troops as the vanguard, Ma Teng, Han Sui, Zhang Ji, and Fan Chou as the rear troops, to attack the coalition camp. You must win another victory..."
Li Ru hurriedly said: "Grand Master, my subordinates think it is not appropriate to send troops at this time. Gao Fei is newly defeated, and the coalition forces must be on guard. If our army attacks rashly, we are afraid that we will lose our troops. It is better to hold on to this pass, no matter what the coalition forces do."
No matter how strong you are, you can't break through the natural dangers of Hulao Pass."
Lu Bu did not want to send troops. Seeing that the day was coming, he did not want to be enemies with the coalition forces anymore, so he immediately said: "Grand Master, Master Li's words are reasonable. Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Sun Jian and others in the coalition forces are by no means ordinary people. What's more,
A large number of people,
Although Gao Fei was defeated, it was not enough to dampen his spirit. The intrigues among the princes among the coalition forces would inevitably lead to disputes if it lasted for a long time. It would be better to wait for the coalition forces to be in chaos. When the time comes, the Grand Master will send troops to attack again, and it will be easy for him to do so.
.”
Guo Si, Zhang Ji, Fan Chou, Li Su and others also agreed and expressed that they could not send troops.
Dong Zhuo saw that Lu Bu's analysis was sound and logical, and that Guo Si, Zhang Ji and others also agreed, so he said: "Okay, that's it, wait for the time to respond to the rebellion of the coalition forces."
