Rebirth of the God of War Lu Bu

Chapter 1269: Depressed Ma Chao

When everyone heard Zhang Lu's words, they all fell silent. Some people even didn't understand why Zhang Lu was so repulsive to Liu Bei. After all, Liu Bei represented the Han Dynasty.

"My lord, the Marquis of Jin has not sent troops yet. After the Marquis of Jin comes with his troops, it will not be too late to let him see the power of the Hanzhong army before talking about this." Zhang Weidao.

Zhang Wei is Zhang Lu's younger brother. He is known for his bravery and skill in the army and has won Zhang Lu's trust.

"My lord, when Ma Chao was in Liangzhou, he led an army to attack Chang'an, and he had a lot of grudges with the Marquis of Jin. Now that Ma Chao is stationed in Mianyang, is there something wrong?" Yang Song took the opportunity to ask.

In the conspiracy between him and Pang Tong, Ma Chao was a very key figure. Ma Chao was brave, good at fighting, and quite strategic. If he was stationed in Mianyang, it would be extremely detrimental to Chang'an's army entering Hanzhong.

Zhang Lu shook his head and said: "General Ma is brave and brave. What's wrong with stationing in Mianyang?"

"My lord, Ma Chao has hundreds of cavalry under his command, and he is good at winning people's hearts among the Mianyang army. He threatened that he would lead his troops back to Liangzhou and seize Hanyang in the future." Yang Song said in a low voice.

Zhang Lu's face tightened. Although he had doubts about joining Lu Bu, it did not mean that he would let his soldiers follow Ma Chao to fight in Liangzhou. If this was the case, it would be a fight to the death with Lu Bu.

The reason why Zhang Lu is not disgusted with Lu Bu is because Lu Bu is similar to him in his attitude towards the people. On this point, the two of them can be said to have a common understanding.

"General Yang Ang, you will lead two thousand soldiers to assist Ma Chao in guarding Mianyang. Yang Bai, I order you to go to the Mianyang army." Zhang Lu ordered.

"Here." The two of them said in unison, cupping their fists.

When Ma Chao first arrived in Hanzhong, Zhang Lu admired Ma Chao very much and even wanted to betroth his daughter to Ma Chao. However, he did not do so under the advice of Yang Song and others. In their view, Ma Chao He is a person who is very likely to bring disaster to Hanzhong. After all, it is the Marquis of Jin that Ma Chao offends.

Even so, Zhang Lu still appointed Ma Chao to lead the troops to guard Mianyang to prevent the troops from Chang'an and Liangzhou, and made Ma Chao the sacrificial wine.

This sacrificial wine has nothing to do with military duties. Zhang Lu advocated the Five Pecks of Rice religion in Hanzhong and called himself a master. Newbies who came to learn Taoism were called "ghost soldiers" and people with a certain status. Only then could he be designated as a sacrificial wine, and Zhang Lu set up "Yi She", "Yi Rice" and "Yi Meat" in various places to provide free food to passers-by and even arrange free accommodation. This is why Liu Zhang was afraid of Zhang Lu.

Zhang Lu’s Five Pecks of Rice Cult is, to a certain extent, the epitome of the Yellow Turbans. What a terrifying existence the Yellow Turbans are. After so many years, the Yellow Turbans are still surviving tenaciously. Of course, Zhang Lu did not realize that there was anything wrong with what he was doing. After all, they are really thinking about the people.

After the others left, Yang Song stayed alone and had a discussion with Zhang Lu. However, judging from the look on Yang Song's face when he walked out of the prefect's mansion, it was clear that the expected results were not achieved.

Even if Zhang Lu was obsessed with the Five Dou Rice Cult, he still had a thorough view of the big picture. Otherwise, he would not have dominated Hanzhong for many years. It is reasonable for Lu Bu to want to capture Hanzhong.

Hanzhong overlooks Guanzhong in the north, blocks Bashu in the south, reaches Xiangyang in the east, and controls Qin and Long in the west. If Liu Bei takes Hanzhong, he will have the capital to further threaten Chang'an.

Pang Tong stayed in Hanzhong for several days. After receiving a satisfactory reply, he asked Zhang Lu to resign. Zhang Lu personally sent him off and treated Pang Tong with great courtesy.

After Ma Chao's defeat in Liangzhou and his defection to Zhang Lu, he was naturally very happy to see that Zhang Lu valued him. However, Zhang Lu's civil and military generals were quite wary of him, especially since Lu Bu was stationed in Chang'an.

After fifty thousand, many officials under Zhang Lu were even more afraid of Ma Chao.

Ma Chao was depressed and asked Zhang Lu to be stationed in Mianyang. Mianyang was close to Wudu. Ma Chao once occupied Wudu. He was such a famous figure in Liangzhou. Naturally, he thought that one day he could lead troops to fight back to Liangzhou. Who could?

Knowing that he made a gaffe while drunk, these words reached the ears of Zhang Lu and others.

The arrival of Yang Ang and Yang Bai greatly loosened Ma Chao's control over the army. During this period, with his superb martial arts, he has indeed gained the favor of many officers in the army. However, after all, these officers had previously

They were under Zhang Lu's command, and Yang Ang and Yang Bai had high prestige in the army.

Especially after learning that the envoy from the Marquis of Jin went to Hanzhong and received courtesy from Zhang Lu, Ma Chao felt even more depressed. The reason why he took refuge with Zhang Lu was because he believed that Zhang Lu could fight against Liu Zhang in Yizhou for many years.

He is an ambitious person, and after a period of observation, he found that Zhang Lu was not very interested in military matters, but was obsessed with the Five Pecks of Rice Cult. If the situation continues like this, Zhang Lu is very likely to join the army.

Lu Bu, won't he become a general under the command of the Marquis of Jin? This is something Ma Chao can't bear.

Although Ma Teng did not die at the hands of Lu Bu, he had an indirect relationship with Lu Bu. Even though he had a certain respect for Lu Bu, it would not affect the hatred in his heart.

"General Ma, I am also here under orders. I hope the general will understand." Yang Bai said lightly, looking at Ma Chao with a hint of pity.

Ma Chao cupped his fists and said, "I'm serious. The last general is under the command of Governor Zhang, so he will naturally obey orders."

Seeing that Ma Chao behaved well, Yang Bai and Yang Ang were quite satisfied.

Yang Bai naturally knew about Yang Song's plan. As for Yang Song's desire to get Zhang Lu to join Lu Bu, it was no secret in Hanzhong. Yang Bai had no objection to Lu Bu. Although his status in the army was

Not low, but his martial arts skills can only be regarded as average. Leading and charging into the battlefield is too dangerous in his opinion, and it is far inferior to enjoying the glory and wealth in the house.

Ma Chao had heard about what kind of people Yang Ang and Yang Bai were, and he spoke without pretense towards them.

The mobilization of troops and horses in Chang'an and the situation in Jingzhou and Yizhou made the princes turn their attention to Yizhou again. Yizhou was close to Jingzhou, Liangzhou and the Sili area, but other princes were unable to intervene in the war in Yizhou. However,

From the mobilization of troops and horses in Chang'an, they could feel that Lu Bu would not let Liu Bei capture Yizhou easily this time.

There is no doubt about the importance of Yizhou. Not only Liu Bei, but other princes also want to get Yizhou. It is a fertile land with thousands of miles of fertile land and dangerous terrain. Once it is occupied, it means that there will be no worries and a continuous supply of food and grass can be provided for the army.

Yanzhou, Prefecture Mufu.

"My lord, there are now close exchanges between Yizhou and Jingzhou. I am afraid that Liu Zhang is afraid of the troops of the Marquis of Jin in Chang'an and wants to seek help from Liu Bei." Xun Yu said.
