Chapter 468 Zhang Lu's indecision

In the secret room of the mansion, Zhang Lu began to feel uneasy after reading the notice from the central court. He handed over the message to his fellow uncle Ren Qiang, so he stood up from his seat and walked back and forth in the limited space in the bedroom. And his uncle, Ren Qiang, was also stunned on the spot after reading the notice at a glance. Then, he re-read the message while thinking...

Ren Qiang is Zhang Lu's uncle. He is a master of the Taoist Danding Sect from Zhang Lu. His hobby other than practicing is to be familiar with the art of war and history. He is good at planning countermeasures according to the actual situation. His professional attainments are among the best in the practice world. In addition to removing the Taoist Lin Fan and Wumen Diao Chan, today's practice world is As for his profound cultivation, he used Taoist spells with great momentum, like a thunder to the ground, so that the practice world gave him a nickname "Ren Cannon". In order to help his nephew Zhang Lu occupy a place in troubled times and take the opportunity to strengthen the Danding sect, he went out of the mountain to help Zhang Lu deal with Liu Zhang, the pastor of Yizhou. Of course, due to the rules of the practice world, he has always been secretly strategising Zhang Lu. Previously, it was he who gave Zhang Lu advice and asked Zhang Lu to take the initiative to form an alliance with Ma Chao from Liangzhou...

After Ren Qiang read the message again, he looked up at the anxious Zhang Lu and thought to himself: Zhang Lu's heart is really higher than the sky. His pattern, vision, and heart are all four tofu - it's not worth mentioning. Just a message makes him restless and restless...

Zhang Lu suddenly stopped his hurried footsteps, turned around and stared at Ren Qiang. His face was extremely frightened and asked, "Uncle, Ma Chao is currently identified as a thief by the Central Court. Can we still cooperate with him? If you cooperate with him, will it set you on fire? ...No wonder, Ma Chao only led 20,000 iron cavalry to Hanzhong at this time. He dared to be destroyed by Cao Cao and Han Sui in the battlefield of Fufeng County..."

Ren Qiang shook his head disapprovingly and said to Zhang Lu calmly, "Lu'er, don't be covered by the court's notice. Although I don't know the truth about the battlefield of Fufeng County at this time, it is certain that Ma Chao came to Hanzhong to defect to you, which was sincere... Before that Ma Chao gathered troops to inform the world that he wanted to lead 100,000 Xiliang iron cavalry to attack Cao Cao, which was a loyal act of 'Qing Jun's side, Bao Xian Emperor'. At that time, Cao Cao did not use his power to characterize Ma Chao's behavior as a rebellion. Why did Cao Cao characterize Ma Chao as an 'anti-thief' in the name of Emperor Xian when Ma Chao went all the way south? ..."

When Ren Qiang said this, he deliberately paused and took a sip of tea. And Zhang Lu is still at a loss... Ren Qiang looked at Zhang Lu, who was confused and secretly scolded: Fuck, it's really mud that can't hold the wall... With such a quality, what kind of Wudoumi secret religion has been established, what kind of leader... Do you still want to enter the world and be a hegemon?! I helped him through this difficulty, and I must get out of him in time...

Ren Qiang scolded Zhang Lu in his heart, but his expression was as calm as ever. He looked at Zhang Lu, who was at a loss, and continued to say calmly, "Lu Er, imagine your own situation: you are also openly fighting against his immediate superior, Liu Zhang, Yizhou Mu. Liu Zhang used public power to make you an anti-thief. At the same time, he must have written to the court. First, he will set your behavior as the nature of rebellion; second, he must invite Ask the court to send troops to fight against you... But what's the result? The court did not listen to Liu Zhang's expression, but let you and Liu Zhang fight in Yizhou. Why did such a result and situation occur? Because the chaos in Yizhou is in line with the interests of Cao Cao Cao, the king of Wei... Of course, it is because of the chaotic situation in Yizhou. Cao Cao did not point to Yizhou after successfully occupying Jingzhou before. If Cao Cao did not insist on chasing the fleeing Liu Bei at that time, he would not be in the Red Cliff battlefield and Sun Liu allied with the army. Confrontation, if he leads hundreds of thousands of troops to attack Yizhou, Luer, do you think you and Liu Zhang still have a chance at that time? You were either killed by Cao Cao or taken into the capital by Cao Cao, thus losing your freedom and being placed under house arrest in disguise..."

When Zhang Lu heard Ren Qiang say this, he seemed to understand what Ren Qiang was thinking. He sat back in his original position, then stared at Ren Qiang, and said with some understanding, "What does uncle mean is that we can still form an alliance with Ma Chao at this time? ..."

Ren Qiang shook his head slightly and said slowly, "Lu Er, we can't easily decide to form an alliance with Ma Chao at this time. You have to send a detailed work to Fufeng County to understand the truth about Ma Chao's defeat and the intention of Cao Cao, the king of Wei... If Cao Cao, the king of Wei, just creates momentum and makes Ma Chao have nowhere to go, then we can form an alliance with Ma Chao; but if Cao Cao wants to completely suppress the remnants of Ma Chao, we must not form an alliance with Ma Chao, Lu Son, once we stand in the wrong team at the critical moment and choose the wrong one, it will definitely cause a disaster..."

When Zhang Lu heard this, he asked Ren Qiang anxiously, "Uncle, in two days, Ma Chao will lead him to Hanzhong County. How can I face Ma Chao at that time?"

Ren Qiang smiled and then whispered, "Lu Er, you can make up a suitable reason and refuse to meet Ma Chao. For example, you can say that the cultivation has reached a critical moment and needs to be closed for a period of time... At that time, as long as we provide the garrison site and food and fodder that Ma Chao needs, we can stay Ma Chao. Hanzhong County... After we learn the real situation from Fufeng County, we will decide whether to form an alliance with Ma Chao..."

"It's so good... Thank you for your advice!" Zhang Lu smiled and thanked Ren Qiang with sincerity. Ren Qiang brushed his beard and accepted it calmly.

Two days later, Ma Chao led 20,000 soldiers to the North Gate of Hanzhong County. In Ma Chao's imagination, Zhang Lu did not warmly welcome him. As a result, to his surprise, Zhang Lu not only did not have a grand scene to greet him, but did not meet him. He just sent an official responsible for receiving guests to entertain Ma Chao ceremonially, and at the same time arranged Ma Chao's side to the temporary barracks at the North Gate.

Although Zhang Lu used the excuse of closed practice to avoid Ma Chao, even if Zhang Lu provided him with a place and food for the garrison, Ma Chao still doubted Zhang Lu's true intention: Why didn't Zhang Lu meet Ma Chao in person? Knowing the exact date of Ma Chao's arrival in Hanzhong County, did he still choose to practice in retreat? What kind of medicine is sold in this Lu gourd...

At the military meeting, Ma Chao and his generals discussed this topic. Yang Qiu, who has a rough temperament, shouted impatiently, "What's wrong with this son of Zhang Lu'an? Since he dares to treat us so coldly? He said that he didn't get out of the customs until five days later and meet us... Fuck, to annoy us, we have to take down Hanzhong County immediately, and then let Zhang Lu cry without tears..."

When everyone heard Yang Qiu's scolding, they laughed one by one. Ma Chao looked at his cousin Ma Xiu with a smile. Ma Xiu suppressed his smile and said to Ma Chao, "Meng Qi, I would have felt that Zhang Lu's attitude has changed so much, which shows that Zhang Lu seems to know our current situation from other channels... Zhang Lu is also afraid of offending Cao Cao..."

"Oh, this shows that Zhang Lu's intention and position to cooperate with us are not firm... If we hadn't been held hostage by Han Sui's old dog, we would have disdained to cooperate with this kind of goods that are afraid of wolves and tigers..." The young Ma Dai said angrily.

When he met a partner like Zhang Lu, Ma Chao had no choice.

After listening to everyone's opinions, Ma Chao nodded slightly, and then said with an indifferent face, "Guys, maybe Zhang Lu is really practicing in isolation? The truth of the truth will come out in five days? ... Intuitively tell me that as long as Cao Cao does not send troops to chase us, no matter what Zhang Lu thinks and intends, he can only choose to form an alliance with us obediently! According to Ben's understanding, Zhang Ren, a fierce general under Liu Zhang in Yizhou, has completed all the preparations for the siege. Can Zhang Lu refuse Ben's help at this dangerous time? ..."

Ma Chao is also a rare fierce general with both wisdom and courage. He doesn't like to impose his will on his subordinates. Once he has new ideas and instructions, he will communicate with his subordinates in time through meetings to let his subordinates understand his current intentions and ideas, so as to improve cohesion and then the whole army. The team's cooperation and tacit understanding achieve the purpose of improving combat effectiveness...

In the battle between Fufeng County and Cao Jun, if it hadn't been for Han Sui's defeat at the critical moment, Ma Chao could really lead 100,000 Xiliang iron cavalry to defeat Cao Cao, who had a wide range of soldiers. Maybe you can really catch Cao Cao alive! Of course, at this time, Ma Chao has been able to accept Han Sui's mutiny. After all, a few years ago, the Ma family had a quarrel with the Han family. At the beginning, Han Sui and Ma Teng jointly attacked Chang'an City, but it was discovered in advance by Li and Guo Yan. In the end, the loss was lost, but the soldiers were all Han soldiers... Tens of thousands of Han clan soldiers. How can Han Sui not hate the Ma family in his heart? ... This time, Han Sui supported Ma Chao to gather troops to fight against Cao Cao, which was also due to the situation and circumstances. When Jia Xu wrote to him and advised him not to support Ma Chao, otherwise, once Ma Chao formed a climate, would there be a foothold of his Han family in Liangzhou? If Han Sui secretly allied with Cao Cao and defeated Ma Chao, Cao Cao would hand over Liangzhou to Han Sui and let the Han family monopolize Liangzhou...

Under Jia Xu's persuasion, Han Sui thought about it and decided to form an alliance with Cao Cao and cooperate with Cao's army to attack Ma Chao's army during the fierce battle between the Second Army! Originally, everything was arranged without leakage, but no one expected that Pang De, a fierce general under the command of Ma Chao, would enter the innate realm of Ma Chao and Xu Zhu on the battlefield. It was precisely because of Pang De's variable that led to the defeat of Cao's army, which made Han Sui unable to lead his troops to the battlefield in time to cooperate with Cao. The army attacked Ma Chao's army. In the end, Cao Cao's victory was full of twists and turns and thrilling...

Later, Ma Chao learned that his father Ma Teng had not passed away. At this time, his hatred for Cao Cao was not too strong, and his hatred for Han Sui became stronger. He dreamed of eating Han Sui's meat and drinking Han Sui's blood...

Now Ma Chao's plan is to stay away from Fufeng County for the time being. When Han Sui relaxes his vigilance, Han Sui will not threaten Ma Chao with the lives of the people. Ma Chao will wait for the opportunity to lead his troops back to Fufeng County, and work with Li Ru and others to capture Fufeng County and kill Han Sui and his people...
