Three Kingdoms: From Hulaoguan to Global Hegemony

Chapter 172 IOUs
Liu Yu has the Feixiong waist card and the support of Niu Fu, Li Jue and others, so what he does in Yiyang City becomes reasonable.

However, Lu Bu exposed his ambition to betray his adoptive father Dong Zhuo, and was threatened by Liu Yu instead. In desperation, he could only accept Liu Yu's "rude" request.

"Although I am an ally, my words are unfounded. Should Feng Xian give me an IOU!"

"IOU? The king of Zhongshan was talking about the agreement with the 5000 people! But when I came here, I didn't have any ink on my body, how could I write it?"

"I have it!" After speaking, Liu Yu took out a piece of A4 white paper and a signature pen from his arms.

It was the first time for Lu Bu to see such fine white paper. After looking at it enviously for a while, he was attracted by the peculiar "writing brush".

I saw that the font written by the "brush" is very thin, and a lot of words can be written on a small piece of paper.

It was only at this time that Lu Bu realized that Liu Yu had written more than half of the sheets eloquently after such a short period of time, which is really a good literary talent!

"IOU! Today, in order to realize the hegemony in his heart, Lu Fengxian decided to donate one of Liu Mu's [-] elites in exchange for a clever plan to escape the control of Grand Master Dong Zhuo. If one day the plan is successful, Lu Fengxian must hand over the troops in advance, hereby prove it!"

After reading it, Lu Bu felt that he had this IOU, which proved that he had the intention of betraying Dong Zhuo.

But if he didn't sign it and didn't say whether he could escape from Liu Yu's hands, even if he returned to Luoyang City, I'm afraid that his betrayal of Dong Zhuo would spread throughout the city immediately, and then it would really be a dead end.

Sighing heavily, Lu Bu could only pick up that strange "writing brush" and sign his name. After that, he wanted to leave here quickly, for fear that Liu Yu would blackmail him even more if he stayed any longer.

"Today's matter... I hope King Zhongshan will keep it a secret. There is still a long way to go back, so I will leave here, but there is still one unfeeling request."

Liu Yu carefully put away the IOU, and asked with a smile: "Brother Fengxian, what else do you want, just ask!"

Lu Bu sighed heavily, and said: "The red rabbit is dead, please draw Fang Tian with a halberd..."

Fang Tian's painting of the halberd is Lu Bu's signature. If others see this halberd in Liu Yu's hands, it will definitely affect his reputation.

"No, no!" Before Lu Bu could finish speaking, Liu Yu quickly waved his hand and refused.

"Although I have an IOU signed by you, I still need a token as evidence. It just so happens that your Fang Tian painting halberd is well known to the world, and it is just a physical evidence. But don't worry, I promise to return the title of No. [-] in the world." I've given it to you, so I won't just go around talking nonsense with a painting halberd!"

Liu Yu jumped on his horse and was about to leave. Before leaving, he threw the signature pen in his hand to Lu Bu.

"Just now I saw that Fengxian was very curious about this pen, so I will give it to you as a gift!" After speaking, he made a goodbye gesture to Lu Bu.

The sound of horseshoes gradually faded away, looking at the "writing brush" in his hand, Lu Bu was very angry, and he exchanged his peerless magic weapon with a single pen. This business is really a loss.

Now that the handle has fallen into Liu Yu's hands, what's the use of Lu Bu being angry.If he had known he couldn't beat Liu Yu, he wouldn't have come.It's too late to regret it now!
In fact, Lu Bu didn't want to report Liu Yu's attack on Yiyang City at the beginning, otherwise he wouldn't have killed those deserters.

Lu Bu wanted to blackmail Liu Yu with the things in Yiyang City, making him completely his own puppet.

Unexpectedly, things were beyond his expectation. Liu Yu actually had a fair reason to deal with Guo Si's army, but Lu Bu himself exposed his intention to betray Dong Zhuo here.

He wanted to control Liu Yu but was threatened by him instead.

Thinking about the long road ahead, let's go back to Luoyang to discuss countermeasures with Chen Gong.

……

After separating from Lu Bu, Liu Yu rode for another two hours and found Ma Chao's ambush.

Last night, Ma Chao received the news in advance that there were deserters coming here, but he did not see a single figure after lying in ambush for a whole day. Just when he was worried about not being able to intercept those deserters, Liu Yu arrived.

"Is there any movement in Hangu Pass?" Liu Yu asked.

"Back to Master, everything is normal. They didn't find anything abnormal in Yiyang!" After answering, Ma Chao said worriedly: "I have been lying in ambush here for a night and a day, but I still haven't seen any deserters passing by. They shouldn't It's a detour!"

Liu Yu hurriedly said in relief: "You don't need to worry, someone has already silenced us!"

Upon hearing this, Ma Chao asked curiously, "Who helped?"

Liu Yu replied with a smile: "Lu Bu!"

"Ah! How could that bastard help us!" Ma Chao was puzzled. Lu Bu had a lot of bad intentions about his teacher Cai Yan before, so how could he be so kind this time!
"It's a long story, let's talk as we go! In addition, I have a more important task for you to handle!"

Since no abnormalities in Yiyang City were found at Hangu Pass, and all the messenger soldiers who fled here were silenced, there was no need for Ma Chao and his men to stay here.

A mentor is like a father, so Ma Chao quickly took orders to gather his troops.

Seeing that Ma Chao was so obedient, Liu Yu smiled very relieved, "What a good age, it is the key node in forming the outlook on life and values. It is really lucky to be able to form a mentorship with him at this time!"

In history, Ma Chao bloomed like a summer flower, but his highlight was too short. Since he defected to Uncle Liu Huang, he has lost his edge and completely disappeared from the stage of history.

In the final analysis, it was his personality that caused him to be depressed and unsuccessful in Shu.

Ma Chao is extroverted and likes to pursue ideals. It can be said that it is his wish to revive the Ma family's glory, but his rebellious character and strong military ability make the superiors feel very afraid, so he has been hidden until now. end.

Liu Yu was well aware of Ma Chao's temper, so he guided him on the "road of science and technology" from the very beginning, so that this talented boy could learn less about intrigue and focus more on scientific and technological research.

When a young man's pursuit changes from desire for power to scientific research, his ambition will inevitably be greatly weakened when he becomes an adult, but his original intention of pursuing ideals will not change.

Just like the current Ma Chao is only thinking about learning some new inventions from Liu Yu, so as to help the Ma family regain its glory in this way.

And his military power is 97, and his command is also 90. He is a natural general, so even if he puts his energy on "scientific research", his military talent in his bones will not be weakened at all.

A famous general who has been loyal to Liu Yu since he was young will definitely not be buried by history again.

……

When Liu Yu brought Ma Chao and others to Yiyang City, Lu Bu finally walked into Hangu Pass with his legs.

The general guard of Hangu Pass is just an unknown third-rate young general. When he saw Lu Bu came back from other places, he hurried out of the pass to greet him.

"General Lu has worked hard... Uh, what about your Chituma and Fang Tian's painted halberd?"

When Lu Bu left the customs, he was obviously riding a horse and carrying a halberd. Why did he become alone when he came back? Could it be that he was besieged by a large group of white wave thieves and lost it?
Lv Bu snorted coldly in disgust, he wouldn't explain to the young general how Chitu was robbed with his dead painting halberd, but thinking about it, if there is no explanation for this matter, there may be many versions of rumors spreading.

So I came up with an excuse, "Walking to the mountain path last night, the horse stumbled and fell to the bottom of the cliff. I also took advantage of Fang Tian's painting halberd to insert into the rock crevice to jump back to the mountain path!"

As soon as Lu Bu finished speaking, the young general admired him and praised him for his strength in martial arts. He was the only one in the world who could do it even after falling off a cliff.

Hearing the young general's compliment, Lu Bu felt a lot more comfortable, thinking that this excuse is really good, and he will explain it like this when someone asks about it when he returns to Luoyang!

For a while, Lu Bu suddenly didn't want to tell the military adviser Chen Gong about being subject to Liu Yu.

And if Liu Yu can really help the Bingzhou Army leave Luoyang, what a loss of 5000 people, as long as the title of No. [-] in the world is still there, he is not afraid that he will not be able to recruit more soldiers!

It was with this kind of thinking that Lu Bu never did anything against Liu Yu after returning to Luoyang.

Not only that, but he often invites Liu Yu's confidant, the new Zongzheng Liu Xuande, to come to the mansion for drinks and chats.

Chen Gong and Wei Xu were very surprised and puzzled when they saw it, and whenever they mentioned Yiyang City, Lu Bu would laugh and not answer, and said that Liu Yu could trust him to secretly help Bingzhou Army plan to leave Luoyang.
