Chapter 557 Ma Chao's letter (plus update)

"Lord, there are a large number of Xiongnu horses in front of you, and they are coming continuously. Do you want to retreat for the time being?"

In Hongnong County, Lv Bu has gathered hundreds of defeated soldiers, captured several doctors, looted some pharmacies and rich households, captured some medicinal materials, grain and grass, and hid in the grain warehouse of a rich family. At this moment, the bonfire reflected Lv Bu's regretful face, and the frustration and anger in his chest. He wished it would burn the bonfire a little more vigorously.

However, when Lv Bu heard Hou Cheng's report, his face finally calmed down and said, "Tell the children not to go out to collect the defeated soldiers for the time being. Avoid those Xiongnu horses and rest for a few days. Maybe in a few days, they will return to Chang'an.

"Return to Chang'an?" After hearing this, Zang Ba frowned and endured the pain of two knife wounds on his arm and asked doubtfully, "Lord, didn't you say before that Chang'an is no longer the wolf nest we wolves in Bingzhou? Why now..."

"In the past, I didn't know the art of war, only the cruelty and pride of wolves. Now, I understand that wolves should not only be cruel, but also cunning. On us, that cunning is the false art of war..." Lv Bu said these words lightly and did not explain to Zang Ba the relationship between the appearance of the Xiongnu and their return to Chang'an. But he thought to himself that after returning to Chang'an, he would definitely study a military book.

But before Lv Bu remembered to read those military books, there was a sound of fighting outside the warehouse door. Lv Bu couldn't help frowning, stood up with his injury and said, "Cong Lian, Hao Meng, Cao Cheng, come out and have a look."

The three people were named. Cheng Lian and Hao Meng were slightly injured, and although Cao Cheng injured his leg, it did not affect his magic skill of penetrating Yang. After hearing the words, he immediately puffed up his blood and went out with Lv Bu.

As soon as he opened the door, Lv Bu saw that his subordinates had fought with dozens of wandering Huns. Seeing this scene, Lv Bu wanted to be angry that his subordinates did not obey his orders to avoid the Xiongnu's horse. But then she stretched out her eyes and saw that in the fighting array, a female general's halberd was fierce and continuous, and she couldn't help guessing the true nature of the matter.

The female general was Lv Qiling, the daughter of Lv Bu. At this time, she guarded a carriage and killed or repelled several Xiongnu cavalry from time to time, forcing them not to approach. And his subordinates were also rescued from the periphery. Lv Bu couldn't think about it any more. He rushed straight forward and carried the Fang Tianhua halberd. After just a rush, he completely dispersed the patrol formation of those Xiongnu riders, and then led his subordinates to surround and kill them.

In less than a raging incense, the dozens of Xiongnu riders were killed by Lv Bu. Several guys who were in a hurry to escape were also shot down by Cao He's arrows. It was not until this time that Lv Qiling immediately came forward and said to Lv Bu, "Father, my daughter is useless. She is entangled by these Huns..."

"Nothing," Lv Bu waved his hand faintly. After carefully checking that there were no horns or whistles on these Xiongnu riders, he said, "It's just a wandering cavalry, not a Xiongnu outpost. It will not attract the Xiongnu army to encircle and suppress... But, Linger, how did you get here?

"Chang'an was in chaos. When my daughter saw that the street was full of those Liangzhou dogs, she asked her mother and aunt to pack up their clothes and be escorted by the family to find her father. Later, when I heard that my father had escaped from Chang'an, I remembered the Lu family logo you mentioned and found it here step by step. Lv Qiling said with a little unbelievable on her face. Finally, she couldn't help saying, "Father, daughter heard that those rebels were just led by Li Wei and Guo Yan. You told your daughter many times that their descendants are not worth the sun. How can the old capital of Chang'an become the hands of such people?

When Lv Bu heard Lv Qiling's question, his face couldn't help but feel regretful and helpless loneliness. He said, "How could he be defeated by those people for his father? Behind the scenes of Chang'an is controlled by Jin Ma Chao..."

"Ma Chao?" Lv Qiling shouted, and her face was even more resentful. When she was about to gritt her teeth and say heroic words such as revenge for her father, she saw that the curtain of the carriage was lifted up. Liu Xiu looked calm and said lightly, "It's really him."

"What is he? Auntie, did you already know that Ma Chao would capture Chang'an? Lv Qiling couldn't help asking when she saw Liu Xiu suddenly saying these beginningless words. But seeing Liu Xiu and Lv Bu look helpless and powerless, they couldn't help saying angrily, "Are you really completely defeated by that guy?"

Lv Bu and Liu Xiu couldn't help but sigh and melancholy when they heard that Lv Qiling's newborn calf was not afraid of the tiger. Then, Liu Xiu put Lv Qiling aside, looked straight at Lv Bu and said, "This is a letter that Ma Chao asked me to forward to you when I left Fufeng. He said he would open it when you were far away from Chang'an. I think it's time.

"Cuer, you look..." Lv Bu reached out to receive the letter handed by Liu Xiu and saw that Liu Xiu's loneliness and pain seemed to be due to his own defeat. He couldn't help asking with concern, "Is there something on your mind?"

"No one, but when Linger asked me to go with her, I was wondering if I should stay in Chang'an and guard the royal mausoleum..." After saying that, Liu Xiu did not look at Lv Bu again and turned around and got into the carriage. The falling curtain also seemed to have become a gap between Lv Bu and Liu Xiu.

Lv Bu knew Liu Xiu's heartache, but at this time he was unable to take care of these children. Unfolding the letter in his hand, he saw that Ma Chao's handwriting was still so scribbled and difficult to recognize: the wolf came out of the cage, and the world was free to travel. Nanyang Yuanshu has long had the heart to be emperor, but he can stay dormant for a while. When the wind and clouds change, there is a mountain forest to roar and be proud.

After reading it, it was difficult for Lv Bu to understand what Ma Chao meant. He couldn't imagine why Ma Chao would help him find a way out, and even vaguely concluded that he would have a unique opportunity in the literal sense?

Inconceivable!

Lv Bu was puzzled and wanted to throw away the letter. But when he turned his hand, he heard Lv Qiling shout, "Father, there is still handwriting on the back!"

Lv Bu was shocked and hurriedly flipped the letter. After a closer look, he saw that the handwriting on the back was still ugly, but the style of writing was extremely teasing: Is it defeated? Isn't it uncomfortable? Have you seen the Huns? Do you want to wait for them to return to Chang'an to regain military power after defeating the rebels? Stop dreaming. Do you think the Xiongnu soldier was really called by Liu Xie? Let me tell you, that's what I'm teasing Liu Xie...

After reading these words, Lv Bu really couldn't help tearing up the letter directly and shouted, "Will Lv Bu fall into your hands of Ma Chao after I take political control of the court?"

"Father, father..." When Lv Qiling saw Lv Bu's sudden change of grief and anger, she couldn't help worrying about Lv Bu and asked, "What did that letter say?" Does Ma Chao want the Lu family to surrender to the Ma family?

"Did you drop the Ma family?" When Lv Bu heard the words, the corners of his mouth were bitter and whispered, "If I hadn't been so arrogant at the beginning, and if I surrendered Ma Chao, maybe it would be a way out..."

"Father! You are the unparalleled god of war!! How can you fall into your ambition like this?!" Lv Qiling listened to Lv Bu's willing whisper and said angrily, "One day, my daughter will definitely get Ma Chao's head for her father to redeem his humiliation today!!"

However, there are still a hundred miles to Qinguan. Ma Chao, who is discussing the new policy of the Ma family with Zhong Yao, a new political talent around him, couldn't help sneezing. Looking up at his head, he wrapped his clothes and muttered, "I don't know, have those technicians in the arsenal invented Jenny's spinning machine? This fur coat is really not warm..."

But at this moment, Xiao Tian suddenly held a green flag, rushed to the horse super array, and said loudly, "Lord! Ten miles ahead, I found a thousand cavalry. I don't know if it's an enemy or a friend!!"
