Coming to the gate of the mansion, Ma Teng stopped for a moment, and couldn't help but sigh: "Da Sima, your mansion is so angry!" ”

Lu Bu smiled and said to Ma Teng: "When you are free in the future, I will also set up a mansion for you in Changsang, how about it?" ”

Baiguan was surprised, he didn't expect this reckless man surnamed Ma to be so valued by Da Sima.

Ma Teng didn't appreciate this, and waved his hand: "Then forget it, I'm a rough person, I'm used to fighting on horseback, you want to put me in this cage, I can't stand it." ”

Lu Bu just smiled.

The officials behind him slandered in their hearts: I don't know how to lift!

When he arrived at the banquet hall, Lu Bu treated Ma Teng as a guest and was the first among the guests, and Ma Teng was also very happy.

The delicacies were served on the table, and the maidservants poured wine for everyone.

Ma Teng took the lead in picking up chopsticks, pinched a piece of venison, put it in his mouth and feasted on it, his face was full of enjoyment.

When everyone in the hall saw this, they all looked at him angrily.

This guy is so rude!

The host has not yet moved the chopsticks, how can there be a reason for the guests to eat first.

"Father!"

Seeing this, Ma Chao also became anxious, pulled Ma Teng's sleeve robe, and hurriedly whispered, for fear of causing Lu Bu's dissatisfaction.

Only then did Ma Teng react, turned sideways and arched his hand towards Lu Bu, "Da Sima, the lower officials have been in the land of Xizhui for a long time, and they have been with the Qiang people all day long, and they have forgotten these rules, and they ask for forgiveness." ”

Lu Bu was generous about this, waved his hand lightly without any care, and said with a smile: "It's okay, Shoucheng acted recklessly, I won't blame you." It's just that tomorrow the court will face the saints, don't forget the etiquette. ”

"Xie Dasima reminded me that I wrote it down." Ma Teng nodded in response.

"Come, let's wait for a cup of General Zhengxi, to celebrate his defeat of the traitors and stabilize my great Han Xizhui!" Lu Bu raised his glass, and the rest of the officials also raised their glasses to congratulate Ma Teng.

The hall was full of officials toasting, and Ma Teng's face was full of pride.

Tilt your head and drink to the brim.

In the past, when I was selling firewood, my life was poor, and I never thought that there would be today's glory.

At the beginning, even the son of a little Chang'an City Cheng dared to beat Ma Teng wantonly in the market. If it weren't for Lu Bu's action, it is estimated that it would be difficult for Ma Teng to see the sun tomorrow.

At that time, Ma Teng had a virtuous personality, and he was not as irritable and bloodthirsty as he is now.

Later, Ma Teng's power grew, and people secretly acted as bandits and slaughtered the entire Xu family.

After three rounds of drinking, everyone in the hall was drunk.

At this time, a recital report arrived.

Lu Bu opened the note, and after scanning it, he laughed heartily: "What a Sun Bofu, I really didn't make a mistake!" ”

The officials under the hall didn't know the reason, and asked respectfully: "Why is Da Sima so happy?" ”

Lu Bu raised the song in his hand, and said with a smile: "This is a report from Jiangdong, Huaiyi Captain Sun Ce not only put down Yan Baihu's rebellion, not to mention taking Wu County, but also included the two armies of Danyang and Huiji. ”

In just one year, half of the six counties in Jiangdong are already in hand!

The report also mentioned that Sun Ce had already set off from Jiangdong and was preparing to report on his work in Beijing.

"Da Sima, forgive me for not hearing of it, it seems that I have never heard of such a number one person under your command?" Ma Teng staggered to his feet, burped, and his face was a little drunk.

The station was almost unstable, Lu Bu pressed his hand down, motioned for Ma Teng to sit down first, and then said: "You don't know, this is normal, Bo Fu's time to serve me is still short, Han Sheng and Wen Yuan are clear." Carefully calculated, Bo Fu's age should be similar to Meng Qi's, and his strength should also be between Bo Zhong, and when he arrives in Chang'an, the two of you can have a good exchange. ”

Ma Chao nodded in response, remembering Sun Ce's name in his heart, he wanted to see if this person was really as powerful as Lu Bu said.

Now the generals under Lu Bu who can beat him single-handedly can count them on one hand.

Not long after, another soldier presented the letter.

Lu Bu opened it as usual, and after reading it, the smile on his face grew, today is really an auspicious day for the zodiac!

The letter mentioned that the countries of the Western Regions would send envoys to Beijing next month to pay tribute, so that the imperial court could make corresponding preparations first.

Sure enough, it's a good thing, one after another.

Since the rebellion of Beigong Boyu that year, the countries of the Western Regions seem to have cut off contact with the Han Dynasty and have never sent envoys to the court.

Now that the countries of the Western Regions have taken the initiative to pay tribute, it is estimated that it is inseparable from the situation in Xiliang, and the powerful Kushan Empire has been defeated by the army of the Han Dynasty, and these small countries in the Western Regions are naturally worried that the Han Dynasty will point their troops at them, so they take the initiative to sue for peace and avoid war.

In this regard, the civil and military officials in the hall are very proud in their hearts, if the Han is not strong enough, how can these foreign states be willing to convince them.

"Uncle, I've been bothering you a lot these days." Lu Bu looked at Yan Li below and said with a smile.

This is undoubtedly a great credit for this matter.

While the other officials were red, they could only be envious and jealous, hating their sister, and failing to marry Lu Bu earlier.

Yan Li nodded and replied seriously: "Da Sima, rest assured, the lower officials should do their best to show the best side of the Han to the foreign envoys." ”

Strict manners, Lu Bu is very relieved, after all, for so many years, there has never been any mistakes.

"Who, Wang Shilang, you are also responsible for assisting together." Lu Bu pointed to a middle-aged man below, and he couldn't shout his name for a while.

"The subordinate officer receives the order, Xie Dasima appreciates it!"

Wang Jing, who was named, quickly got up and thanked Lu Bu.

Don't look at him so cautious, his background is not small, his father is the Situ Gong Wang Yun of the current dynasty.

The banquet dispersed, and everyone went home.

Lu Bu arranged accommodation for Ma Teng and his entourage in the house, so that they could go back to the room to rest earlier.

Ma Chao supported his drunken father and walked down the corridor.

Recalling his father's wild words at the banquet, Ma Chao couldn't help but whisper: "Father, this is not Liangzhou, it's better to be low-key in your actions and speeches in the future." ”

Hearing this, Ma Teng, who was full of alcohol, pushed his son away as if he was displeased, and shouted loudly: "What are you afraid of, those literati and Confucian scholars are just red-eyed and have made outstanding contributions to their father, and a group of clowns jumping off the beam!" Besides, I recovered Liangzhou for the imperial court, and it was too late for the imperial court to thank me, so how could they blame me? ”

With the help of wine, Ma Teng became more and more energetic the more he spoke, and what he should say and what he shouldn't say were all said together: "Da Sima sent Chongfu and Jiang and Gai to secretly spy on me, thinking I didn't know? In fact, I know very well in my heart, if I want to rebel, I just need to wave my arms in Xiliang, what can they do to me! ”

Ma Chao, who had never been afraid of half a point, was shocked by this sentence.

Fortunately, Ma Teng added another sentence later: "Don't worry, Da Sima treats me well, and he is my old benefactor, so my father will never do that wolf-hearted thing." ”
