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 has good martial arts skills, but he only serves 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. It is now rumored that Wu Nianzhen killed five Meng Yuan captains.
Since Wu Nian can do it, why can't I do it?
With Lu Jubei's status as a master of civil affairs, his resourcefulness, his martial arts, and his ability to lead troops. Why not replace it?
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."
For this, Lu Jubei agreed with both hands, nodded and said: "My lord, go ahead. I say 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.
Just then, a waiter walked in from outside. Ma Zheng couldn't help but stop and look 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 of the Fu Han Dynasty, asking to see him." 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 when 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 can this be?
Is Wan Yanxian a vegetarian? How could someone like Wu Nian be allowed to come and go as he pleased? It shouldn't be, it shouldn't be. If Wan Yanxian, a general of ten thousand households in Mongolia and Yuan Dynasty, was a vegetarian, then so many generals of Liaodong would not have been wiped out under the iron hoof of ten thousand 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 scholar, a scholar, and a rich man. 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 wait in the living room, so that he can 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, held the handle of the knife at his waist, and sat back.
"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 thinking about Beishan Castle, but Wu Nian is also thinking about Chengshan 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, and 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. Sex. In this way, when Chu 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 can't 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 get rid of the people who have nothing to do first." After Lu Jubei made the decision, he calmed down again and said with a smile.
"Yeah." Ma Zheng nodded. The two of them sat in the main room like this 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 and saluted the two of them calmly and said: "Cao Ding, who serves under General Wu of the Fu Han Dynasty, has met Mr. Lu and Mr. Ma."
"Mr. Cao is 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 him and came to sit opposite Ma Zheng. First he clenched his fists at Ma Zheng, and then said sincerely to Lu Jubei: "Mr. Lu, our general sent troops to Guangyang Mansion this time, and used his troops like a god. He killed two thousand captains under Wan Yanxian's command and killed more than a thousand people. . He rescued Long Qie and gathered countless men, horses and supplies. Before leaving, he dueled with Wan Yanxian and ended up in a draw."
Speaking of this, Cao Ding secretly looked at the expressions of Ma Zheng and Lu Jubei.
But it was Xuanhe Wu Nian's martial arts who 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 and Ma Zheng's faces trembled. Then he sneered in his heart.
This bragging doesn’t involve drafting. Just say that Wu Nian rescued Long Qie, and why did you challenge Wan Yanxian to a draw?
As we all know, the generals of the Ten Thousand Households of 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 ten thousand households.
Are you, Wu Nian, tied 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 he was smiling but not smiling, so he couldn't help but frown. It might be a bit difficult to guess what happened this time. But he did not intend to give up. He took a deep breath, raised his hands and said to Lu Jubei: "Mr. Lu, there are too many people in our Beishan Fort now. My general plans to divide his troops 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 posture 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. I am willing to obey his orders, but I cannot give up Chengshan Fort."
"Please also ask Mr. Cao to go back and tell General Wu to find another place to place Long Qie."
