"Situ Gong, Ping Taohou, please take a seat." In the grand master's mansion, Dong Zhuo described Yu Yu as haggard and irritable, and he didn't speak when he saw the three of them coming in. After Hua Xiong brought Lu Bu and Wang Yun in, he said in a low voice. He motioned for two people to sit down.

Lu Bu and Wang Yun saluted Dong Zhuo, and then sat down.

Li Ru handed a roll of bamboo slips to Wang Yundao wearily: "I don't know who is spreading the rumors that the court will increase taxes on the Qiang people everywhere. The seizure of Wu and other cities is still the beginning, if it is not properly disposed of in time, Xiliang may be lost."

"Sir, what's the point of discussing this? The final general is willing to lead his elite troops to go out to fight, and will definitely drive out these rebellious Qiang people!" Hua Xiong snorted coldly, and said murderously.

The biggest trouble for the Qiang people without a strong leader is their familiarity with the terrain, but in terms of their own combat power, the Qiang people may be able to win one-on-one, but if a hundred fight a hundred, the Han army will definitely win.

Of course, this refers specifically to Hua Xiong's experienced Xiliang army, the bitter cold land can best hone the toughest fighters, and the Qiang people's desperate efforts are also very scary.

Lu Bu didn't say a word. In this matter, he will eventually get the right to go to war this time, but he can't be too active. It's better to take the initiative to fall on his own head. There are not many people who can be regarded as Dong Zhuo's confidants, and Lu Bu happens to be one of them.

Wang Yun didn't speak either, and even Lv Bu, who had been staring at him, didn't notice any abnormalities in his face or eyes, but Lv Bu knew that behind this incident, Wang Yun should at least be involved, otherwise he wouldn't be able to rely on himself. It might have caused Xiliang to become chaotic so quickly, but Wang Yun had completely restrained his emotions at this moment, and his expression and eyes did not change at all.

But this is the most abnormal. Shouldn't you be shocked?

It seemed that he and Lu Bu had a heart-to-heart connection at this moment. Wang Yun took a deep breath, looked up at Dong Zhuo, and bowed slightly: "Grand Master, this matter is a bit strange. Who is spreading rumors among the Qiang people? Besides, these scattered Qiang people may be easy to break. But I am worried that behind this, is Ma Teng involved?"

"Ma Teng?" Dong Zhuo frowned. This Ma Teng began to grow stronger after Dong Zhuo left Xiliang, and before the rebellion of the Kwantung heroes, although Ma Teng did not actually participate, he responded to the call of the princes in momentum. This is Dong Zhuo. He had always been a bit grudged, but after he came back, facing the messy government affairs, Dong Zhuo didn't have the energy to pay attention to Ma Teng, and took a pacifying attitude towards Ma Teng.

Even not long ago, Ma Teng was prepared to give him some benefits in the name of a reward, so that Ma Teng could stay in the northwest quietly, but such a big disturbance happened to the Qiang people. If you don't believe it, or in other words, as long as there is trouble on the Qiang side, no matter whether it has anything to do with the Ma family, it will be instinctively linked to the Ma family.

"So what about Ma Teng?" Hua Xiong said coldly, "Grand Master, please let the last general go out to fight, and he will definitely bring the heads of the Ma family!"

Dong Zhuo gave a rare smile, then shook his head and said: "Gongwei's bravery, I know it alone, but it's not that simple."

Li Ru also explained with a smile on the side: "That Ma Teng is the former Fubo General Ma Yuan. Even if you want to fight, you need to have enough prestige and strategic skills."

This kind of person, not to mention Dong Zhuo's subordinates, there are not many people in the world.

Although Hua Xiong is brave, he obviously doesn't have the ability to coordinate the overall situation. Hua Xiong himself knows this, so he can only keep his mouth shut.

Wang Yun glanced at Lu Bu suddenly, with a smile on his face: "If you say that you can coordinate the overall situation, is there someone beside the Grand Master?"

Since Lv Bu cannot be won over, the best way is to exile Lv Bu and drive him out of Chang'an. Otherwise, if Lv Bu has been serving as Dong Zhuo's bodyguard all along, whether it is an assassination or a coup d'état, it will be difficult to hurt her. Wanting to kill Dong Zhuo is delusional.

"Feng Xian?" Dong Zhuo looked at Lu Bu, nodded slightly and said, "If Feng Xian sends troops, what's the point of mere Ma Teng? It's just a little Ma family, but Feng Xian wants to go out in person?"

Lu Bu cupped his fists and said, "Grand Master, it shouldn't take too long to dispatch troops this time."

"Feng Xian still doesn't understand that this dispatch of troops is not only about defeating the Ma family, the most important thing is that the Qiang rebellion must be put down as soon as possible, otherwise the rear of Chang'an will be unstable, and if the princes come to attack again, the court will fall into a situation where the enemy will be attacked from both sides. "Li Ru looked at Lu Bu and explained with a smile.

Lv Bu sneered in his heart, Wang Yun's recommendation to send troops to Chang'an was in line with Lv Bu's wishes, and kept him away from this court struggle. He also wanted to see how these people who had no military power in their hands would fight against Dong Zhuo?

He frowned and said, "What's the difference?"

"Not only do you want to defeat the Ma family, but you also need to quickly pacify the Qiang people. Killing the Qiang people will only make the Qiang people hate the Grand Master even more. Therefore, if we send troops this time, Fengxian will not only need to defeat Ma Teng, but more importantly, The combination of kindness and power will make the Qiang people willing to continue to obey the orders of the grand master instead of the Ma family." Li Ru said in a deep voice.

Lu Bu nodded. What is needed is not only to defeat the Qiang people to show their prestige, but more importantly, to show kindness after the victory. It is not simply to give benefits, but to let the other party recognize Dong Zhuo's court from the bottom of their hearts. This is very thoughtful. Teach the skills of the commander.

"The general is willing to give it a try!" Lu Bu looked at Dong Zhuo and clasped his fists.

"If Feng Xian sends troops, the old man is naturally relieved, but...how many troops does Feng Xian need?" Dong Zhuo looked at Lu Bu and asked.

"The last general is not very familiar with the Qiang people. How many soldiers and horses does the Ma family have? And how many soldiers and horses can the Qiang people gather?" Lu Bu asked.

"The direct military strength of the Ma family is not large. After all, Xiliang is barren. Ten thousand soldiers and horses are the limit. However, if you count the Qiang people of all ethnic groups, it will be impossible to measure. As long as the Ma family is willing, they can even gather an army of 100,000. Come!" Li Ru said in a deep voice.

"So..." Lu Bu hesitated for a moment and said, "The general wants to call all the soldiers and horses of Bingzhou under my command. If there are 6,000 soldiers from Bingzhou, the general is willing to issue a military order to defeat the enemy."

The original Bingzhou army was dismantled and distributed, only Zhang Liao's cavalry is still under Lv Bu's command, and it was only after Lv Bu gained the trust of Dong Zhuo recently that he got this elite army.

Lu Bu was originally from the Bingzhou Army, and he is well-known in the Bingzhou Army. He is naturally handy in command, and the Bingzhou Army is also the army that is most familiar with Lv Bu's tactics. Lu Bu naturally wants to reorganize the scattered Bingzhou Army to his side. Of course, He also knew that Dong Zhuo could not agree to everything.

this……

Dong Zhuo frowned slightly when he heard this. Although he felt relieved about Lu Bu, it would be a lie to say that he was completely relieved, especially if all the Bingzhou troops were transferred back to Lu Bu's command. He is a small warlord who is still in the state of sending troops, and with Lu Bu's current rank and title, as long as Lu Bu is willing, he can occupy a piece of land in Xiliang and stand on his own.

Dong Zhuo could not afford this loss.

But if he didn't agree, firstly it would inevitably chill Lu Bu's heart, and secondly, besides Lu Bu, he really had no other suitable candidate now.

"Now Hou Cheng leads his troops under the command of General Niu Fu and is still fighting in the Central Plains. It may be difficult to recall them in a short time. I think that Wei Xu, Song Xian, and Cheng Lian's troops can be added to the 700 troops under Ping Taohou's men. Bingzhou Jingqi, supplemented by General Hua Xiong's troops, has a total of 8,000 troops, and there is Ping Taohou and General Hua Xiong joining forces, so why worry?" Wang Yun smiled and said.

The troops of Wei Xu, Song Xian, and Cheng Lian, plus Lu Bu's side, had 700 elite horsemen, which is about 4,000 men. Adding the 4,000 men of Hua Xiong's men, the 8,000 men and horses were better than Lu Bu's original requirement of 6,000 horsemen. Thirty percent more than a thousand people.

Of course, marching and fighting does not mean that there are more people, but this distribution has already met Lu Bu's expectations. Hua Xiong's troops are familiar with Lu Bu, and during the march, it is unlikely that Hua Xiong will turn against Lu Bu to embarrass Lu Bu. In Lu Bu's mind, this lineup is not as strong as the lineup composed entirely of the Bingzhou Army, but it is not weak either.

As for Dong Zhuo, Hua Xiong was by his side and had half of the military power, so he could feel more at ease.

"What do you think Feng Xian?" Dong Zhuo looked at Lu Bu, obviously a little moved by this proposal.

"Follow the Grand Master's orders!" Lu Bu intervened and saluted.

"Okay!" Dong Zhuo said immediately, "Let's take Lu Bu as the general who conquers the west, and Hua Xiong as the general of Ping Qiang Zhonglang. We will order 8,000 troops, and we will go out on a certain day!"

"The last general takes orders!" Lu Bu and Hua Xiong stood up and took orders.

"It's not too late, let's prepare food and grass!" Dong Zhuo got up tiredly and said, his obese body was obviously not used to this kind of sitting for a long time. With Li Ru's support, he stood up, looked at Lu Bu and said, "Feng Xian Ah~"

"The end is here!" Lu Bu saluted.

"Xiliang needs to be calmed down as soon as possible. Don't worry about the Bingzhou Army. After returning this time, the Bingzhou Army will be under your command!" Dong Zhuo patted Lu Bu's hand and laughed.

"Bu understands." Lu Bu nodded and said, "Grand Master still needs to take care of his health."

Dong Zhuo looked at Lu Bu's expressionless face, and sighed: "From now on, don't say such caring words after Fengxian, I understand what you mean, but you always make me feel that you are going to harm me by talking like this!"

Lu Bu touched his face, tried to make himself smile, Wei Wei raised the corner of his mouth on the right side, his eyes that thought he was gentle gave off a sharp feeling...

"General, one of our own!" Hua Xiong hurriedly pulled Lu Bu back, with this smile, those who didn't know it thought they were plotting against Dong Zhuo.

"Hahahaha~" Dong Zhuo patted Lu Bu's hand and said with a hearty smile, "Fengxian doesn't have to be like this. What I appreciate the most is Fengxian's unrestrained and unaffected temperament. You are so deliberately flattering, it really makes people feel uncomfortable at first sight." Can see through."

Wang Yun looked at the two people who were chatting happily, and his heart sank silently. Only he knew that Lu Bu's seemingly stiff and contrived expression was probably pretended on purpose. This person may be more dangerous than Dong Zhuo...
