The Reincarnation of Lu Bu at the End of the Han Dynasty

Ma Teng looked this person up and down, but he didn't have the slightest impression of this person in his mind, his face darkened immediately, and he asked: "Who are you, why do you call yourself an old friend of this general?"

Seeing Ma Teng sullen, the man was not afraid, bowed his hands in salute, and reported his family name: "Your Majesty, Zheng Zhi, pays homage to General Zhengxi."

The man had a humble attitude and claimed to be an inferior official. He was obviously a member of the officialdom, but even so, Ma Teng still didn't give him a good face: "You haven't answered the general's question just now!"

At this moment, Zheng Zhi unhurriedly took out an imperial edict from his bosom, and read it out on the spot: "General Ma Teng accepts the edict."

Ma Teng was stunned for a moment, never expecting that this ordinary-looking man could be the emperor's envoy.

So, he immediately got up from his seat, came to the man, bowed and clasped his fists and said: "Minister, listen to the oracle!"

"General Ma Teng, a native of Fufeng Maoling, has a virtuous and loyal character, and is also loyal to the emperor and patriotic. He has guarded Xiliang for me these years and has made many military exploits. He is indeed a rare talent in the country. Now the general is going to the east to conquer the rebels. There is turmoil in Guanzhong, Zhuoer immediately led Xiliang's rebel army into King Qin of Jing, to comfort my heart, I respect you!"

After Zheng Zhi finished reading aloud, he closed the imperial decree and handed it to Ma Teng.

After Ma Teng listened, he didn't straighten up for a long time.

"General Ma, accept the order!"

Seeing that Ma Teng seemed unwilling, Zheng Zhi urged: "Could it be that General Ma can't resist the order?"

Hearing this, Ma Teng accepted the imperial decree with both hands, and at the same time showed a particularly complicated expression on his face.

After finishing his errands, Zheng Zhi bid farewell and left.

Ma Teng originally wanted him to rest for a night before leaving, after all, it was getting late.Zheng Zhi declined, saying that he was in a hurry to go back to report to His Majesty, so there would be no further delay.

Before leaving, Zheng Zhi pulled Ma Teng aside, and flattered and flattered him: "General Ma, Your Majesty holds you in high esteem, this time is also your opportunity. If you can enter the Guanzhong, it is not a problem to be promoted to a noble in the future." Next, maybe you can still be named king or minister. At that time, the next official will have to rely on General Ma for your support..."

Ma Teng was taken aback after hearing this, and an indescribable emotion grew in his heart.

After dinner, Ma Teng picked up the military book that he hadn't finished reading in the afternoon, and prepared to continue reading, but found that he couldn't calm down no matter what.

Added officials to the ranks, made kings and prime ministers.

Especially when Zheng Zhi's parting words appeared in his mind from time to time, Ma Teng was particularly annoyed.

On one side is the benefactor of the past, on the other side is the king of the Han Dynasty.

How to choose, Ma Teng couldn't make up his mind for a while.

If you don't go to reinforce Bingzhou, it is very likely that Bingzhou will fall into the hands of the Xianbei people. When the time comes, the war will sweep all over the place, and people will inevitably die.What's more, he has already received the imperial edict, if he doesn't lead the army to Guan Zhongqin, it will be a death penalty for resisting the edict.

After thinking for a long time, he couldn't come up with a definite answer, so Ma Teng had to send someone to invite Han Sui to discuss.

In private, the relationship between the two is very good, and they are also called brothers on weekdays.

"It's so late, why is Brother Shoucheng calling my younger brother?" Han Sui, who had removed his military armor, was about to go to bed, but when he heard Ma Teng looking for him, he changed his clothes again and came to meet Ma Teng's big tent.

Han Sui was not an outsider, so Ma Teng told him the troubles in his heart, hoping to hear his opinion.

After listening to Han Sui, he also fell into a brief silence. After a while, he opened his mouth to speak: "Brother Shoucheng, in your heart, which is more important, Your Majesty or the General?"

"Of course the general."

Ma Teng gave the answer without hesitation. If it weren't for the support of the general back then, he might still be selling firewood in Chang'an City.

"But as a Han subject, if I don't want to serve the country and be loyal to the emperor, am I no different from a traitor..." Ma Teng hesitated, which was also the crux of the problem.

"According to Brother Yu, Brother Shoucheng can temporarily send out [-] soldiers and horses, and your second son, Ma Xiu, will continue to rush to help Bingzhou. Brother Shoucheng, you will lead the army to King Qin in Guanzhong. In this way, you will not be ashamed General, you will not disappoint Your Majesty's expectations." Han Sui gave a seemingly reasonable plan.

"This……"

Ma Teng was still a little hesitant. Although Han Sui's method was good, if he really did it, it would probably chill the general's heart.

Seeing that Ma Teng was still undecided, Han Sui narrowed his eyes and hit the nail on the head: "Could it be that brother Shoucheng doesn't want to be the next great general?"

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

The words are divided into two parts.

Hurrying back to Chang'an from Beidi, Zheng Zhi didn't enter the palace to report to the emperor as he said to Ma Teng before, but waited until the dead of night before sneaking in through the back door of Situ's mansion.

Avoiding the guards, Zheng Zhi sneaked into Wang Yun's study.

He tiptoedly pushed open the wooden door of the study, and after Zheng Zhi entered, he turned around and closed the door carefully.

The candlelight in the study was flickering and flickering. The old Situ who was sitting at the desk saw Zheng Zhi coming in. There was no surprise on his old face. "How are things going?"

"Ma Teng has accepted the so-called imperial decree, but I can't guarantee whether he will become the king of Jingqin." Zheng Zhi found a seat and sat down. Looking at his words and demeanor, he seemed to have no respect for the current court Situ Gong. Not much respect.

At that time, the whole family of Zheng's family was destroyed, and Zheng Zhi, who was only five years old, escaped from death. Later, Wang Yun secretly rescued and adopted him, and trained him to be a qualified confidant assassin.

Although Zheng Zhi was young at the time, the seeds of hatred took root in his heart after witnessing the fate of his relatives.

It is worth mentioning that Zheng Zhi's father was Zheng You, the Hengdu school lieutenant who wanted to attack Lu Bu back then, but the matter was revealed and Lu Bu stabbed him to death.

"Since he has accepted the order, Ma Teng will definitely come to Chang'an." Wang Yun put down his teacup and showed a peaceful smile, convinced of this.

"Why is Situ so sure?" Zheng Zhi was puzzled. Judging from the situation of his announcement that day, Ma Teng still maintained a certain degree of loyalty to Lu Bu.

Wang Yun said slowly, his skinny face added a bit of gloom under the flickering candlelight: "When Ma Teng came to Chang'an to report on his duties, the old man met him a few times. This man looks honest and honest, but his arrogance is extraordinarily arrogant. , relying on his outstanding achievements in pacifying Xiliang, except for Lu Bu, he didn't pay attention to anyone at all. You said, how could such a guy not have the ambition to climb up?"

"The so-called loyalty is just not enough chips for betrayal. People are the most fickle, especially after they have tasted the taste of power..."

Speaking of this, Wang Yun's expression seemed a little sad.

Once upon a time, he was also a loyal and upright person who dared to be tough with the ten permanent attendants, but a catastrophe later caused his temperament to change drastically, becoming forbearing and extremely courteous.

"Then what should we do next?"

When Zheng Zhi asked, although he was conceited about his intelligence and skill, he also knew very well that he was far inferior to Wang Yun, an old fox who was as scheming as he was.

So in the matter of dealing with Lu Bu, he has always been ordered by Wang Yun.

As for other things, Zheng Zhi was not interested. He just wanted to kill Lu Bu, to avenge the Zheng family's annihilation, and to comfort the spirits of his father and relatives.

Since Zheng Zhi asked about it, Wang Yun didn't need to hide it, and talked about his overall plan.

At present, all parts of the Han Dynasty are in a state of war preparation or fighting, and Lu Bu can't get away from Yanzhou, otherwise he wouldn't let his two sons lead the army to reinforce Hedong.

Wang Yun planned to lure Ma Teng to Beijing. Once Xi Ce got the news, he would definitely mobilize a large number of troops to resist Ma Teng.

At that time, Guanzhong's defenses were empty, so Wang Yun secretly sent people to encourage the officials of the imperial power faction and the gentry who were dissatisfied with Lu Bu to launch a rebellion, forcing out the pawns buried in the dark.

When the play is over, it's time for Wang Yun to be destroyed.

This plan is flawless.
