Chapter 837(1/2)
I don’t want to be fooled by him. I don’t even want to fall for his hook. Because there must be a trap here. And it is probably a double-sided trap. The trap may not be Lu Bu. If he really hooks up with him, he pretends to be like this,
What if he and Lu Bu jointly deceive Cao Ying!?
How can it be so easy to cooperate with this kind of person? Who knows what he is thinking?
I don’t know who he is trying to trick with Sui Gu. Maybe he is not tricking himself, but Yuan Shao.
As for himself, is he really going to trick Lu Bu?!
Maybe it was Cheng Yu who took the bait, and it was Cao Ying who was tricked by him in the end.
This person...is really cunning and treacherous!
He put out a big bait, and no matter whether he bites or not, he still feels like he has been fooled!
Cheng Yu was so angry that he tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. He simply got up and wrapped himself in thick fur. However, it was still extremely cold in the middle of winter, even though he was wrapped like a bear.
The wind blew against his face, and Cheng Yu coldly put down the thick curtain in an instant. It was too cold!
Even so, despite being separated by three layers of curtains, there was still a slight breeze blowing onto his face, so much so that he suddenly woke up.
Just as I was working up the courage to leave the camp for a walk, the soldiers outside said, "Sir, do you want to go out? It's windy outside. I'm afraid you'll get sick if it blows for a long time."
Cheng Yu thought for a moment and then let it go, saying: "That's okay, I just can't sleep and am just trying to relieve my depression. Since the wind is strong, I can't go out."
"Sir, take care of yourself!" the soldier said.
Cheng Yu returned to the tent and sat down again. Footsteps were heard again outside, and a scout came to report, "There has just been some movement. Ma Teng has led his troops out of the city!"
Cheng Yu sneered and said: "Since I came here, he has avoided seeing me, not even bowing, and has not pretended to be the most basic etiquette and politeness. That's okay, he is half-hearted towards Cao Gong and refuses to surrender."
, I won’t be able to tolerate him because of this. It’s better at this time, not to leave during the day, but to sneak away in the middle of the night! Are you so shameless?!”
The scout said: "My lord, do you have any instructions?!"
What orders can I give? He cannot pursue Ma Teng on Bingzhou territory.
Cheng Yu said: "Before he left, did he go to see Lu Bu?!"
"Gone! But he returned in a hurry and left the city directly. Lu Bu didn't see him off. Zhang Yang personally took the people to the outside of the city. Now I'm afraid he's ten miles away from the city!" said the scout.
The horses from the Western Regions can travel ten miles in a blink of an eye, even at night, even in the ice and snow. Horses from the Western Regions are cold-resistant and capable of running, and are very adaptable to the climate here. This is
Cold is no big deal. As long as it is not frozen in an ice cave, Xiliang horses will not freeze to death!
Cheng Yu took a deep breath and repelled the scouts, feeling very depressed.
Since arriving, Ma Teng has not even been seen, and now he ran away without saying a word as if he had never been here. Ha!
He simply doesn’t take Xu Du seriously at all! He doesn’t even want to be polite on the surface!
Do you think that with Lu Bu's back, you can sit back and relax?!
Wrong!
Lu Bu must have promised him a huge profit, otherwise with Ma Teng's temperament, he would only get big benefits, so he would be so determined, and would not even care about the most basic decency and etiquette, and even disregard the etiquette of meeting people.
Here we go.
Cheng Yu's heart skipped a beat. He knew that with Ma Teng's attitude, he was almost convinced that he had a backer, and that's why he was so unbridled.
This situation is heart-burning!
It's late at night, and the wind is blowing and wrinkles people's faces, making them sleepless!
Zhang Yang saw Ma Teng off and then slowly returned to the city. Sui Gu followed him and said to Zhang Yang, "Is it really okay to see the governor of Yanzhou without Ma Teng?!"
Zhang Yang said: "In the past, this man had to look at Cao Cao's face to endure his temper. Even when the two sides were fighting, he had to bow down and pay homage to avoid the biggest blow. However, the clay figure still has a certain earthy nature. Ma Teng is not without pride.
Cao Cao obviously helped Han Sui, intending to kill his clan, destroy his clan, and capture Xiliang. He was ashamed and angry and endured the humiliation. In the past, he had no choice but to be so careful. But now, he can not spit in Cheng Yu's face.
Even if he shows restraint, can he still be expected to meet Cheng Yu?!"
"If you can pretend he doesn't exist and just ignore him, you already have a way out!" Zhang Yang sighed.
"Is this because we are afraid that if Marquis Wen is defeated in the future, he will still have a chance to change his life?" Sui Gu said.
Zhang Yang nodded and said: "Leaving in such a hurry means leaving early. It would be inappropriate to stay without paying homage and make you angry. If something happens, he will have to take the blame. How can Ma Teng not
Urgent?!"
He sighed and said: "To do this is the ultimate level of cultivation and patience. Even Yang needs to learn from him!"
Sui Gu is thoughtful.
This Ma Teng is indeed a typical person who endures humiliation and bear heavy burdens. Although he has not made many big moves in Xiliang, he came to fight for the maximum benefit and got what he wanted. He immediately gave up and ran away quickly.
With this kind of understanding and speed, it's just that he doesn't have a chance. If he has a chance, he will definitely achieve something. Even if he can't expand the territory, he can at least protect Xiliang. His brain is enough!
After all, he is a man who knows the current affairs and is not greedy. If he were greedy, he would not leave at this time. However, Sui Gu also believes that now is the best time to run away. Otherwise, if he stays, many things will happen and everything will happen.
It would be bad if a happy event turns into a sad event!
With several soldiers and horses in one place, if someone deliberately makes some small moves and something happens, they won’t be able to explain it at the time. That would be funny!
Therefore, although this Ma Teng is a bit disgraceful, it is a shrewd consideration to avoid others.
Sui Gu protected Zhang Yang and returned to his residence. Early the next morning, Cheng Yu also came to say goodbye. Lu Bu was reluctant to leave and said, "Zhongde's visit is short. Why not stay for a few days to discuss the details and draw up a clear picture? Wouldn't it be better?"
OK?!"
Cheng Yu had dark circles under his eyes and said: "Even Ma Teng has returned to Xiliang to guard, how can Yu stay here for a long time!? I'm afraid that Yanzhou is undefended. If he is unprepared, Yuan Shao's troops will come to attack.
Yu has neglected his duties, so he bids farewell to Marquis Wen and has to go back to Yanzhou. Yu Zi will write to Sima Zhongda to discuss all the details. How about that!?"
Lu Bu was a lively person. Although he was a little disappointed, he understood that what he said was reasonable and said: "In that case, please pay attention to it all the way. In response to everything, Zhongde will only discuss it with Zhongda. Our army will
All matters are left to the disposal of military advisors."
Cheng Yu smiled and agreed.
Lu Bu insisted on holding a banquet to honor him, but Cheng Yu couldn't refuse and had no choice but to stay.
At the banquet, Lu Bu was asked: "How fast is Ma Teng? Before Yu could meet him to salute him, he was already gone. Is it really a dragon that sees its head but not its tail?! Could it be that he is avoiding Yu?!"
Lu Bu rolled his eyes, thought for a moment, and said with a smile: "I think there was a misunderstanding between Shoucheng and Cao Gong. They disappeared just to avoid any unpleasantness. Hahaha, is it possible that Zhongde is very concerned about this matter?!"
Cheng Yu said: "It's not a misunderstanding, I'm afraid he has a guilty conscience."
Lu Bu squinted his eyes and said, "Zhong Yao is still with Han Sui. Isn't this a misunderstanding but a guilty conscience? Shoucheng wanted to leave because he was afraid that meeting Zhongde would lead to resentment, which would make things difficult for Bu.
He has given way to you, so why do you need to be aggressive! Since we have made an agreement and there is a cloth in the middle, we are fellow comrades in the same boat, why bother to insist on it?! Zhongde, you are rude to do this!
”
Cheng Yu's expression changed slightly when he heard this. How could it be so uncomfortable to hear these words coming from Lu Bu's mouth?! What's so rude? He thinks Lu Bu lacks a great virtue?!
If no one guided him to say this, he really wouldn’t believe it.
"It seems that Ma Teng has been talking about this in Marquis Wen's ears for a long time, and Marquis Wen actually defended him with such words!" Cheng Yu sneered and said, "Yanzhou is in alliance with Marquis Wen, but not with Ma Teng! He
Since you leave first, don’t put Yanzhou in your eyes, and you will have something to say later!”
Lu Bu was speechless and unhappy, and said: "Since we have become an alliance, the first priority is to resist the enemy Yuan Shao, and I also ask the prefect Cheng to sort out the priorities! Since we are an alliance, although we are introducing it, we will march in the future.
During the attack, mutual attacks must not occur. Otherwise, Bu will be held accountable!"
Even the title had changed. Cheng Yu knew that he was unhappy and didn't want to offend Lu Bu, so he stopped!
But I am almost certain that there must be a lot of cooperation between Lu Bu and Ma Teng.
This kind of protection may not only protect his allies, but also protect his own interests.
This battle for Jizhou may not go smoothly.
He raised his eyes and glanced at Zhang Yang, and saw that this guy was looking at the desk with his head down, as if he was counting the straws on it in boredom, and he was very speechless for a moment. Look at this guy's virtue of listening with his ears erect!? But he still wants to do more.
Pretend to be absent-minded! It makes you even more angry.
Ma Teng, Zhang Yang, and Lu Bu were colluding with each other. Once they entered Jizhou, Cheng Yu knew that it would be extremely difficult to tear a piece of meat from the mouths of their three wolves.
The test had results, and Cheng Yu became even more depressed.
Sima Yi saw that the atmosphere was tense, and both Cheng Yu and Lu Bu looked a little unhappy. He smiled and said to Lu Bu as if nothing was wrong: "My lord, aren't you practicing for Zhongde? Why are you fighting for others?! From now on!
A man of martial arts, if he stumbles over a few words from time to time, he will also
It's no big deal, but if you take it personally, it would be inappropriate to fight like children! The host and guest should show their dignity. We are both allies, why should we get angry over a trivial matter?!
Come, Yi, please give me a drink to Zhongde, my lord!"
With Sima Yi around, Zhang Yang also smiled and raised his glass, saying: "Yang, please give me a toast to Zhongde first! The visitor is a guest, and you must not be rude to your guests!"
Only then did Lu Bu burst out laughing. When he saw someone holding him up, he was happy to go down the steps without being stubborn. He raised his glass and said with a smile: "A toast to Zhongde. I have a good trip back to Yanzhou this time!"
Cheng Yu raised his glass and drank it all with him.
Cheng Yu didn't hold back, so he just managed to get through the banquet with a smile.
After the details were finalized, Sima Yi came to see Cheng Yu out of the city.
Zhang Yang ran away long ago. He knew he was not easy to mess with, so why did he dare to get together?!
Although Zhang Yang is very soft-hearted, he actually knew in his heart when he saw this fight at the table that Lu and Cao would fall out sooner or later. Now there is no telling how much dissatisfaction and uneasiness is brewing secretly.
