Rebirth of the God of War Lu Bu

"Now, except Long Pass, which is no longer in the hands of our army, all the other passes are occupied by our army." Jia Xu said, the passes around Chang'an are the capital to fight against the princes. Why were Li Jue, Guo Si and others able to dominate Chang'an in the first place?

, it’s because of the checkpoints around Chang’an.

The reason why Chang'an was originally the capital was because of Chang'an's special geographical location, which was easy to defend but difficult to attack, with fertile fields thousands of miles away. It was the foundation of the king's hegemony. Even if the princes of Guandong changed, they only had to guard the pass to observe the changes in the world.

"Longguan? Send someone to tell Ma Teng that if the army at Longguan does not withdraw, don't blame me for ignoring the old friendship and giving up the land of Longyou to Ma Teng. I am still not satisfied. Do you think that relying on Longguan will be enough?

How can you threaten me?" Lu Bu's tone was a little angry.

Jia Xu cupped his hands and said: "Here." He put Ma Teng on the opposite side in his heart. Han Sui was also a greedy person, but Han Sui knew how to advance and retreat, and would not threaten others just to take credit. Such people often

Talent lasts longer. Perhaps in war, Ma Teng is a rare warrior, but when it comes to dealing with problems, Ma Teng is much less thoughtful.

In Ji County, Ma Teng glanced at Ma Chao beside him and said with a smile: "The Marquis of Jin sent an envoy to ask our army to give up Long Pass."

Ma Chao snorted coldly: "Longguan is one of the barriers of Chang'an. It was handed over to the Marquis of Jin. How can it be such a simple thing? My father sent troops to help the Marquis of Jin pacify Chang'an, but the Marquis of Jin only promised Longxi County."

Ma Teng thought for a moment and said: "According to the envoy, the Marquis of Jin is already angry about this matter. Although our army is strong, we have to consider more. The Bingzhou Army in Chang'an still has 40,000 people."

"Even if Longguan is handed over to the Bingzhou Army, the Marquis of Jin will still give enough benefits. My father can ask someone to tell the Marquis of Jin that our army wants to pacify Longxi, but there is not enough food and grass." Ma Chao said in a low voice.

Ma Teng's eyes lit up. He was not good at strategy, and he didn't know what kind of trouble this kind of behavior would bring to them, but he still obeyed Ma Chao's words.

The person in charge of sending Ma Teng as envoy was Wei Xu. After learning about Ma Teng's attitude, he was furious and reprimanded Ma Teng in person.

Ma Teng looked at Wei Xu with a livid face. If he hadn't been concerned about Lu Bu's identity, he would have drawn his sword long ago.

"General Ma's words, I will tell the Marquis of Jin, General Ma, don't regret today's decision." Wei Xu snorted coldly, turned around and left. He is the envoy of the Bingzhou Army, so naturally he will not be polite to Ma Teng, and Ma Teng

Teng's tone clearly indicated that he was seeking more benefits.

After Wei Xu left, Ma Chao said angrily: "Father, the Marquis of Jin is too arrogant and dares to treat my father like this. After all, my father is the General of Zhenxi who was conferred by the imperial court."

Ma Teng waved his hand. For a moment, he wanted to kill the arrogant Wei Xu, but his reason prevailed. What he wanted was Longxi County. If possible, he even thought about taking Wudu as well.

For his own sake, Wudu is close to Hanzhong. As long as the guards in Hanzhong relax a little, he might be able to attack Hanzhong and use Hanzhong as his base, which is much better than using Hanyang as his base.

Although Hanyang was well governed by Ma Teng, there were no extraordinary dangers to defend. The Bingzhou army only needed to leave Longguan to attack Hanyang, and Longyou and Sanguan could attack Wudu. If Hanzhong was relied upon,

That's how you can advance, attack, retreat and defend.

"Meng Qi, now that the Marquis of Jin has occupied Chang'an, it has aroused the fear of the princes. Otherwise, the imperial court would not have sent envoys here again, and named my father the General of Zhenxi. This is just an attempt by the imperial court to win over, and my father does not intend to get involved with Jin for the time being.

A war between marquises." Ma Teng said. After seeing the powerful strength of the Bingzhou Army, he did not want to be an enemy of Lu Bu. However, if he wanted him to easily give up Long Pass, Ma Teng was not willing to see it.

of.

Ma Chao said yes.

"Meng Qi secretly led his troops to Xi County. As long as our army can capture Xiabian with lightning speed, the rest is not a concern." Ma Teng said, the reason why he did not want to give up Longguan was because he wanted to

To occupy the land of Youfufeng, Youfufeng belongs to Sanfu. Although after the chaos caused by Li Jue, Guo Si and others, the level of wealth is still not comparable to that of ordinary counties. With the land of Youfufeng, he can spy on Chang'an.

, as long as the court's strategy can succeed, he will send troops to Chang'an and occupy Chang'an in one fell swoop.

If Han Sui knew Ma Teng's thoughts, he would also be amazed. Ma Teng has always felt like a straightforward man.

"Here." Ma Chao's tone was a little excited. After years of secret accumulation, he finally had the opportunity to attack Longyou.

After General Wei Xu reported what he saw in Hanyang to the army, Lu Bu and Jia Xu frowned. From Ma Teng's attitude, they felt something unusual. No matter how powerful Ma Teng was, the Bingzhou army now had countless soldiers.

With tens of thousands of people, they can send troops to attack Longguan at any time. As long as Longguan is occupied, Hanyang will be in danger. He doesn't believe that Ma Teng can't understand these things.

"My lord, my subordinates guess that it may be because of the imperial court, otherwise Ma Teng's attitude would not be like this." Jia Xu said, this is what he is most worried about. After occupying Chang'an, it will take a certain amount of time to deal with the surrounding areas of Chang'an.

Judging from the attitude of the imperial court and the princes, it was clear that they did not want the Bingzhou Army to gain a foothold in Chang'an.

"In Wen He's opinion, how should we deal with this matter?" Lu Bu temporarily suppressed the anger in his heart.

Jia Xu said: "What Ma Teng wants is nothing more than profit. My lord just needs to send some baggage and some kind words to comfort him, and Ma Teng will definitely relent."

Lu Bu's expression suddenly dropped, and he snorted coldly: "When have I ever been threatened by others? If Ma Teng wants to use Longguan as a threat, I will let him see the majesty and inviolability of the Bingzhou Army."

Jia Xu secretly thought that something was not right. Ma Teng raised the conditions at this time, obviously because he was sure that Lu Bu did not dare to fall out, and he obviously did not understand Lu Bu's temperament.

"Send the order to Hao Meng to gather all the Thunderbolt Chariots." Lu Bu said.

Seeing this, Jia Xu had no choice but to swallow his words of persuasion, because he saw that the generals in the tent had angry faces after hearing what happened to Wei Xu.

"Where is Tai Shici?"

Taishi Ci stepped out of the queue and clasped his fists, saying: "The final general is here."

"I order you to be the vanguard of the army. You will lead two thousand soldiers and one thousand Liyang bow cavalry. After ordering all the troops and horses, you will go to Longguan to clear the obstacles for the army."

"Here." Taishi Ci's tone was a little excited. This was the first time he had led an army in combat since he joined the Bingzhou Army, and he also held an important position such as a vanguard. There were many more senior generals in the big tent than him, so

This shows Lu Bu's trust in him, and Ma Teng's threats at this time also made Tai Shici extremely dissatisfied.
