Chapter 302 Reining in to Resist
Ma Zheng was stunned for a long time, then his tense body slowly relaxed, he nodded gently and said, "Sir, what you said makes sense."
He was good at martial arts, but he could only serve as the chief flag officer. Before that, he also believed that the court was unfair.
Before the Meng Yuan people went south, Wu Nian was just a small flag officer. Now it is rumored that Wu Nian's formation killed five Mongolian thousand captains.
Since Wu Nian can do it, why can't I?
With Lu Jubei's status as a master of civil engineering, his resourcefulness, his martial arts skills, and his ability to lead troops, why couldn't he be replaced?
wonderful.
It's really wonderful.
If Wu Nian died in Guangyang Mansion, it would really be of great benefit to us.
"A bright future lies ahead. Let's have a drink." Lu Jubei chuckled, picked up the teacup, and raised his glass to Ma Zheng.
"Okay." Ma Zheng nodded, happily raised the tea cup, and drank a cup of tea with Lu Jubei.
After putting down the tea cup, Ma Zheng stood up, clasped his fists at Lu Jubei and said, "Sir, since your ambition is so great, I can't relax. I'm going to train soldiers and horses."
Regarding this, Lu Jubei agreed with both hands, nodded and said: "My lord, go ahead. I have said a thousand words and ten thousand, the only people who can resist the Meng Yuan people are strong soldiers."
"If we want to realize our ambitions, we have to work harder."
"Yes." Ma Zheng nodded heavily, released his hands, put his left hand on the handle of the knife at his waist, turned around, held his head high, and walked out.
At this moment, a waiter walked in from outside. Ma Zheng couldn't help but stop and looked up.
Lu Jubei frowned slightly and asked, "What happened?"
"Sir, Mr. Ma. Outside the city gate, there is a man who claims to be Long Qie, the captain of General Wu Nian, who is supporting the Han Dynasty." The waiter bent down and replied.
"What?!!!" Lu Jubei suddenly stood up, so shocked that he lost his voice.
Ma Zheng also widened his eyes and shouted in surprise.
The two looked at each other, how could this be possible? Before that, they were still discussing that after Wu Nian died in Guangyang Mansion, they would take over the power of Beishan Fort and let Lu Jubei take the position of general supporting the Han Dynasty and command Liaodong.
In the blink of an eye, Long Qie's people arrived here.
Could it be that Wu Nian came back from Guangyang Mansion and rescued Long Qie?
How is this possible?
Is Wan Yanxian a vegetarian? How can he allow people like Wu Nian to come and go freely? It shouldn’t be, it shouldn’t be. If Wan Yanxian, a general of ten thousand households in Mongolia and Yuan Dynasty, is a vegetarian, then so many Liaodong generals,
Then it would not be wiped out in ashes under the iron heel of tens of thousands of households.
For a moment, Lu Jubei and Ma Zheng were both shocked and doubtful, and their emotions fluctuated very intensely.
After all, Lu Jubei was a civil servant, a scholar, and the city was a little deeper. He took a deep breath, calmed down, raised his hand and said to the waiter who came to report: "Go and invite the visitor in, but don't bring him to see me right away. Let him stay in the living room.
Wait and be entertained."
"Yes." The waiter was surprised. He didn't know what kind of medicine Lu Jubei was selling in his gourd, but he didn't hesitate. He bowed his hand and went down.
Lu Jubei glanced at Ma Zheng and sat back. Ma Zheng took a deep breath and sat back holding on to the handle of the knife at his waist.
"Sir, we were talking about Wu Nian and Long Qie just now. Now Long Qie's people have arrived. It seems that Wu Nian has really rescued Long Qie. Moreover, we are planning to build Beishan Castle, but Wu Nian is also planning to build a mountain castle.
.What should we do?”
Ma Zheng held his rough and broad hands together and said to Lu Jubei with a solemn expression.
"Yes. He is also trying to figure us out." Lu Jubei nodded, sighed, then lowered his head and fell into deep thought.
Now that Wu Nian is back, the plan to occupy Beishan Fort has come to nothing.
Lu Jubei was still self-aware and knew that he was not capable of storming Beishan Fort. But if he gave up Chengshan Fort, he would not be willing to do so.
"I would rather have the head of a chicken than the tail of a snake. He wants me to build a mountain fortress, but I can't give it to him. With our strength, although it is impossible to attack Beishan Fortress, it is enough to protect ourselves. We negotiate with him and remain independent.
Xing. In this way, when the Chu Kingdom regains Liaodong, we will also have merit."
Lu Jubei gritted his teeth, raised his head and said to Ma Zheng.
Times make heroes. This kind of opportunity is so rare that he is really unwilling to give it up.
"Okay." Ma Zheng thought about it carefully and felt that with their current strength, they could protect themselves, so he nodded.
Who doesn't know how to defend the city?
Since Wu Nian could rely on Beishan Fort to defend against the Meng Yuan attack, with their ability, it would be easy to defend Chengshan Fort against Wu Nian's attack.
"Okay. Let's take care of the rest first." After Lu Jubei made the decision, he calmed down again and said with a smile.
"Yes." Ma Zheng nodded. The two of them sat in the main room for more than half an hour, and then they sent someone to invite Long Qie's people.
The man sent by Long Qie was a civil servant named Cao Ding. He was originally a failed scholar and was eloquent.
Cao Ding had just learned about the situation of Chengshan Fort from others. After entering the main room, he bowed down and saluted the two of them calmly and said: "Cao Ding, who serves under General Wu of the Han Dynasty, has met Mr. Lu and Mr. Ma."
"Mr. Cao, you are polite. Sit down." Lu Jubei was not rude, he raised his hand and said politely.
Ma Zheng also clasped his fists with both hands and returned the salute.
"Thank you for sitting down." Cao Ding thanked Ma Zheng and sat down opposite Ma Zheng. He first hugged Ma Zheng and then said sincerely to Lu Jubei: "Mr. Lu, our general is sending troops to Guangyang this time.
Like a god, he beheaded two thousand captains under Wanyanxian's command and killed more than a thousand people. He rescued Long Qie, gathered men and horses, and had countless supplies. Before leaving, he challenged Wanyanxian to a one-on-one fight and ended up in a draw."
Speaking of this, Cao Ding secretly looked at Ma Zheng and Lu Jubei's expressions.
But it was Wu Nian who was famous for his martial arts, and he planned to intimidate him a little.
After he entered Chengshan Castle, everything he saw and heard showed that these two people were ambitious and capable people who knew it was difficult to deal with them.
Lu Jubei, Ma Zheng's face trembled, and then he sneered in his heart.
There is no need to draft this bragging. Just say that Wu Nian rescued Long Qie, and also say that he and Wan Yanxian fought in a one-on-one fight and ended up in a draw.
As we all know, the generals of Wanhu in the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty are basically peerless military generals who can be defeated by ten thousand people. There are so many generals in Liaodong, and none of them can be the opponent of the generals of Wanhu.
Did you, Wu Nian, tie with Wan Yanxian?
Why not brag to the sky and simply say that the general will win in a one-on-one fight?
Lu Jubei didn't believe it in his heart, and showed a smile on his face. He cupped his hands and saluted: "Congratulations, General Wu."
Cao Ding could see that this was a serious smile, and he couldn't help but frown. It might be a bit difficult to guess what happened this time. But he didn't intend to give up. He took a deep breath, raised his hands and said to Lu Jubei: "Mr. Lu, now I
There are too many people in Beishan Fort. My general plans to divide the army and lead 15,000 people to garrison in Chengshan Fort."
"We are all descendants of the Yan Han Dynasty, and we are at odds with the Meng Yuan Dynasty. Please do me a favor, sir. And with the generosity of my general, I will definitely compensate Mr. Lu and Mr. Ma."
Cao Ding's attitude was already very low. He recognized the legitimacy of Lu Jubei and Ma Zheng's separatist rule in Chengshan Fort and expressed his request.
But Lu Jubei and Ma Zheng already had an idea, how could they agree?
Lu Jubei shook his head and said: "General Wu is known as the general who assisted the Han Dynasty, and he has so many military exploits. I, Mr. Lu, obey him and am willing to obey his orders, but I cannot give up Chengshan Fort."
