Chapter 709: Lu Bu and Ma Chao

In fact, when the three brothers Liu, Guan and Zhang arrived in Luoyang, they had already been targeted by the Flying Eagle Guards, but Lu Cheng did not allow anyone to restrict their freedom.

Seeing the three brothers coming to the outside of the clinic, Lu Cheng just asked Xu Chu to pass a message and asked the three of them to wait outside.

Liu Bei was very honest. He stood opposite the clinic with his two brothers and waited.

It was not until the evening that Lu Cheng announced the end of today's free clinic and asked the people to disperse. Then he took Liu Xie out of the clinic.

Seeing this, Liu Bei hurried over. Xu Chu and Dian Wei wanted to step forward to intercept them, but Lu Cheng gestured, "Let them come over."

Liu Bei came to Lu Cheng and bowed respectfully: "Liu Bei greets the general."

Lu Cheng nodded slightly: "No need to be polite, you three have been in Luoyang for a long time, right? How is Luoyang now compared to when you were studying here in the past?"

When Liu Bei was young, he came to Luoyang and studied under Lu Zhi. Naturally, he had an impression of Luoyang at that time.

"Today, Luoyang is more prosperous than ever before."

"You three brothers should have been to various states and counties in the north. How are the people living under Lu's rule?"

"The general can quell the chaos and bring peace to the people. This is a blessing for the country and the nation."

"I came from humble beginnings, so I naturally know what the people want. Xuande, you also came from a poor background, so you should know how hard it is to have peace today. What do you think? Are you willing to contribute to the peace today?"

Liu Bei was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect Lu Cheng to let go of the past grudges and want to employ his three brothers. For a moment, he didn't know how to respond.

After hesitating for a moment, Liu Bei said, "General, I wonder...I wonder if I can see the emperor?"

Lu Cheng laughed: "Haven't you seen it already?"

Liu Bei was stunned when he heard this, looked around, and then his eyes unconsciously fell on Liu Xie.

At this time, Liu Xie was carrying a bamboo basket full of sweet potatoes. He didn't feel it was heavy at all and didn't ask the guards behind him to help him carry it.

Seeing Liu Bei looking at him, Liu Xie glanced at Lu Cheng, then stepped forward and said, "I am here. Who are you? Why do you want to see me?"

Liu Bei was stunned for a moment. After he came to his senses, he wanted to pay his respects, but Lu Cheng held him back: "It won't be too late to pay your respects when you get back."

Liu Bei could not continue to bow, so he could only stand up, glance around, and say, "Your Majesty, I am the descendant of King Jing of Zhongshan, the great-great-grandson of Emperor Xiaojing, the grandson of Liu Xiong, and the son of Liu Hong."

Liu Xie nodded when he heard this and said, "So you are still a relative of the Han Dynasty. Not bad. What is your current position?"

"I once led an army to suppress the Yellow Turbans and made some contributions. I was once a county lieutenant and a governor of Pingyuan. Before that, I made a living under Liu Jingzhou and led troops to Xinye. Now, I have returned to civilian status."

"That's right. It doesn't matter if the position is high or low, as long as you can do your part for the people."

Liu Bei had not yet fully reacted. He had thought that the emperor would be imprisoned in the palace by Lu Cheng and not allowed to go out. He had never expected to meet the emperor under such circumstances, and he had never expected that the emperor would walk on the street carrying a basket of sweet potatoes.

Afterwards, Liu Bei hurried forward and wanted to carry the basket of sweet potatoes for Liu Xie, but Liu Xie refused: "This is a gift from the people to express their sincere gratitude to me. It is better than jade and pearls. I don't feel it is heavy at all when I hold it in my hands."

"Your Majesty can have such a heart, it is a blessing for the Han Dynasty."

Liu Xie shook his head: "What I have done is nothing."

After the group returned to the palace, Liu Xie had no intention of summoning Liu Bei alone, so Liu Bei had no choice but to leave with Lu Cheng.

At this time, Liu Bei also discovered that the emperor did not seem to care too much about any major events in the world. Instead, he was more interested in medical skills. He had been asking Lu Cheng for advice on medical skills along the way.

After leaving the palace, Lu Cheng glanced at Liu Bei and the other two and said, "If you want to do something for the court, you can come back to me. If you are still undecided, you can go back and think about it."

"Thank you, General."

After Liu Bei left, Lu Bu bowed to Lu Cheng and said, "General, Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun, Taishi Ci and other generals are all fighting outside to pacify the four directions. I also want to lead an army to fight for the court. Now, Liu Yan of Yizhou has not yet submitted to the court, so why not let me lead the troops to conquer him."

"Liu Yan of Yizhou is about to die. His son Liu Zhang, although a relative of the Han Dynasty, is just a gatekeeper. There is no need to worry about him. Why should Fengxian go out? If Fengxian really wants to fight on the battlefield, I do have a place to go. It depends on whether you are willing."

"General, please give me your orders. Lü Bu is willing to serve you at your will."

"There are still some Xiongnu and Xianbei on the northwest grasslands of Bingzhou who have not been completely pacified. If Fengxian is interested, he can lead his troops and go with General Pingbei Zhang Liao to go beyond the border, defeat the Xiongnu and pacify the Xianbei. Maybe he can even drink water from the vast sea and seal the Wolf's Lair."

Hearing this, Lu Bu hesitated for a moment before nodding his head and saying, "I am willing to go."

Before, Lu Bu was unwilling to go to Bingzhou.

But the times are different now, the world is about to be at peace, and if he does not take the opportunity to make some achievements, he may not have a place in the court in the future.

After going through so much, Lu Bu has indeed grown up a bit. He wants to take this opportunity to lead his troops and make meritorious deeds, so that he can enjoy wealth and glory in the future, and have a wife and children who are honored.

Lu Cheng had kept Lu Bu by his side before because it was difficult for other generals to suppress him, so he wanted to temper his temper.

Now, the situation in all directions is about to be pacified, and it is time to clean up the remaining Xiongnu and Xianbei in the north.

Lu Bu is known as the Flying General on the grassland, and it would be a waste if he is not released to be used.

Not long after, Lu Bu led the remaining Bingzhou Wolf Riders and several generals to Bingzhou to look for Zhang Liao.

In the novel, although Lu Bu was always scolded as a slave of three surnames, in fact he did not betray others on his own initiative every time. It was because his lord treated him badly and he was induced by others that he betrayed many times.

There was a man who, although he came from a prominent family and was one of the Five Tiger Generals of Shu Han in the later period, his actions were criticized by many people.

This person was none other than the most disappointing general in the Three Kingdoms, Ma Chao of Xiliang.

At that time, Ma Chao's father Ma Teng surrendered to Cao Cao with his family of more than 200 people, leaving Ma Chao in Liangzhou to take charge.

As a result, when Cao Cao wanted to use the passage to attack Zhang Lu, Ma Chao believed that Cao Cao wanted to seize Liang Province. He acknowledged the enemy as his father and worshipped Han Sui, the murderer of his mother, as his adoptive father. He then joined forces with Han Sui to attack Cao Cao.

Afterwards, Cao Cao used a strategy of sowing discord to destroy the alliance between Ma Chao and Han Sui, and eventually defeated Ma Chao and massacred all of Ma Teng's family of more than 200 people.

Afterwards, Ma Chao killed Wei Kang, the governor of Liang Province. As a result, Wei Kang was very popular in Liang Province, and everyone in Liang Province wanted to drive Ma Chao away.

In the end, Ma Chao was tricked out of the city and his wife and children were all killed.

Later, Ma Chao went to Zhang Lu in Hanzhong, but Zhang Lu didn't trust him either. Later, Ma Chao turned to Liu Bei, and Zhang Lu married Ma Chao's concubine Dong to his subordinate Yan Pu. Ma Chao's son Ma Qiu was also killed by Zhang Lu.

It can be said that Ma Chao has been a complete scumbag all the way, betraying his father, mother, and entire family. He is definitely a scumbag...
