Chapter 348: The belligerent Ma Chao
He believed that Chen Lan was a wise person, but any general with a little insight could realize that Yuan Shu would not last long, but Yuan Shu's strong army gave them hope.
Chen Lan's heart is also constantly struggling, the solicitation in Lu Bu's words is very direct, but also full of threats, if he does not take refuge in the state, he believes that the next moment will be the time of his death, after a long silence, Chen Lan leaned down and bowed: "The general of the defeated army, fortunately valued by the Marquis of Jin, he should do his best for the state." ”
Dian Wei was also stunned and looked at Chen Lan, who was still disrespectful, and turned to Bingzhou.
"Awe, untie General Chen's ropes." Lu Budao.
Seeing that Chen Lan was a little absent-minded, Lu Bu said: "General Chen is worried about Yangzhou's family? ”
Chen Lan hugged her fists and said: "There are still wives and children in the family, and I am ashamed of my humble duties. ”
"There is no need to worry about this matter, someone will take General Chen's family to Bingzhou." Lu Bu was relieved: "It's just that I have to grieve General Chen for a few days, General Chen led his troops to attack the grain road, if Liu Biao learned that the general was still there, he would definitely be executed, General Chen could pretend to be an ordinary soldier first, and Ben Hou said to the outside world that General Chen was executed." ”
Chen Lan saw that Lu Bu thought about it very properly, and hugged his fists and said yes, of course, Chen Lan also knew his ability very well, after a battle with Ma Chao, he understood that his martial arts were definitely not outstanding in the Bingzhou army, perhaps the Marquis of Jin valued his ability to lead the troops in battle, after all, he was able to burn the grain and grass twice behind the princes' coalition army, such an ability is not something that ordinary generals can have.
In the troubled times, even if you are a general, you have to consider your own life, although Chen Lan values Zhang Xun, she doesn't want to die because of the Zhong family, there are only so few people in this world who are not afraid of death.
Chen Lan was also curious about how Lu Bu found their traces, he ordered the adjutant general to arrange many suspicious formations along the way, and each time the direction of sweeping the traces was different, why did the state army find him so quickly.
"General Chen led the troops to fight, and it was also easy for the Bingzhou army to find it for a while." Lu Bu saw that Chen Lan chose to take refuge, and he was also happy in his heart, the number of Bingzhou troops will increase in the future, and the demand for generals will also increase, I believe that after Chen Lan's family arrives in Bingzhou, Chen Lan will follow Bingzhou with all his heart.
"The lord can call the humble son far away." Chen Lan was puzzled: "How did the lord find his humble position?" ”
Lu Bu smiled slightly, "If someone else leads the troops here, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find Ziyuan, but fortunately, Benhou has the means to restrain Ziyuan." ”
Seeing that Lu Bu didn't answer the doubts, Chen Lan knew that this might be the secret of the merger, and he had just taken refuge in the merger, so it was better not to inquire too much.
After cleaning the battlefield, Ma Chao couldn't hide the joy on his face, anyway, it was hundreds of cavalry who stayed after the battle, and his own side only paid the price of more than 20 cavalry.
"Meng Qiqi is victorious, and the saint knows that there will definitely be a big reward." Seeing Ma Chao, Lu Bu laughed and said.
Lu Bu keenly found that when he heard the word "Shengshang", Ma Chao's brows furrowed slightly, obviously dissatisfied with Liu Biao, and also, when he was in the big tent of the Chinese army, Liu Biao's words did not take Ma Chao to heart, if it was an ordinary general, I am afraid he would not go to his heart, but what kind of person Ma Chao is, he is definitely a high-minded and arrogant person.
"This time, I would like to thank the Marquis of Jin for his kindness." Ma Chao respectfully hugged his fists, if it weren't for Lu Bu, Ma Chao felt that even if the Xiliang cavalry found Chen Lan, it would take a lot of effort, and Lu Bu handed him the task of chasing down the defeated soldiers, obviously sending benefits.
"The traitor general is also extremely cunning." Ma Chao stared at Dian Wei and said suddenly.
Lu Bu smiled slightly, knowing that Ma Chao was taking away Chen Lan from Dian Wei, and he was still a little depressed in his heart, "Meng Qi, after the rebel general led the Bingzhou army, he has been scolding and has been ordered to be executed by Benhou." ”
Hearing that Chen Lan died, Ma Chao felt a little better, as for asking Lu Bu for Chen Lan's disclosure, Ma Chao would not do it, Lu Bu gave him the credit, and he naturally had to be more generous.
"It's getting late, why don't you rest here for the night, and return to the army tomorrow."
Ma Chao hugged his fists and said yes, but Lu Bu felt that Ma Chao's eyes when he looked at him contained a trace of fighting intent.
"Today, I listened to the words of the general, the Marquis of Jin is strong in martial arts, I don't know if it's okay?" Ma Chao stared at Lu Bu with blazing eyes.
"Meng Qi is brave, Benhou is unfamiliar with martial arts, so there is no need to compare." Lu Bu said with a smile, Lu Bu yearns for the battlefield the most, but this kind of competition is not exciting, even a marksmanship master like Zhao Yun can win by himself, not to mention the younger Ma Chao.
"The Marquis of Jin is outstanding in martial arts, famous all over the world, and I hope to be able to teach one or two." Seeing Lu Bu's refusal, Ma Chao was even more excited, he had never seen Lu Bu make a move, and Lu Bu was the Marquis of Jin, as a subordinate, Dian Wei would definitely praise Lu Bu a lot, so if you think about it, although Lu Bu's martial arts are high, there are also limits.
If he can defeat the world-famous Marquis of Jin, wouldn't it mean that his Ma Chao's name will spread all over the world.
Thinking of this, Ma Chao's excited face turned a little red with excitement.
Dian Wei on the side shook his head gently, Ma Chao's strength may be strong, but against Lu Bu who has a Xuanqi horse, it is tantamount to looking for death.
"Since Meng Qi has invited him, it is inconvenient for Ben Hou to refuse, but he just needs to add a lottery." Lu Bu said with a smile.
Ma Chao saw Lu Bu agree, and said excitedly: "A word is a certainty." ”
The smile on Lu Bu's face became even stronger, "It's getting late at this time, if you fight on a war horse, it will be inconvenient, I don't know if Meng Qi can shoot arrows?" ”
Ma Chao pursed his lips secretly, as a general, how can anyone who can't shoot arrows, and Ma Chao thinks that his archery skills are superb.
"Jin Hou wants to test archery?" Ma Chao asked.
"That's right, if Ben Hou is lucky to win, Ben Hou is a general in the army who asks Meng Qi, I don't know if Meng Qi can call the shots." Lu Bu asked with a smile.
"A general?" Although Ma Chao was puzzled, he still agreed, and his archery skills were unbeatable in the army.
"What if the Marquis of Jin loses?" Ma Chao's eyes stared at Lu Bu tightly.
"What Meng Qi wants, just say it." Lu Bu said with a smile.
"There are thousands of war horses, I don't know if the Marquis of Jin can agree." Ma Chao asked tentatively, to his disappointment, Lu Bu always had a faint smile on his face, which made it difficult to know his psychology at all.
"Yes!" Lu Bu immediately agreed.
Seeing that Ma Chao chose to test archery with Lu Bu, the smile on Dian Wei's face became stronger, Lu Bu rarely showed his archery skills in front of people, just like he rarely used a halberd in front of people, but Lu Bu's archery skills were the most powerful Dian Wei had ever seen.
