() Everyone has their own selfish motives. Ma Yue realized that these Xiliang generals each had their own agenda, so he dared to come alone and persuaded them through various interests to stop pursuing Dong Zhuo's death.

, or want to fight to the death with himself and the Ma family.

This is not to say that people like Li Ru and Li Que are not loyal to Dong Zhuo. If Dong Zhuo was still alive at this time and he gave the order, these people would try their best to do it even if they knew that things were not good for them. But now that Dong Zhuo has

If they die, they have to think about their future. Although they are still under the banner of avenging their lord, this is more just to appease the soldiers below. If they really want to proceed from their true intentions, they cannot

Maybe desperate for revenge.

This time, Ma Yue gave them a suitable step and let them know the consequences of a forced attack, which was enough to make them change their attitude towards him. In the final analysis, everything is determined by strength and situation, but this

This time he bet correctly.

Only Zhao Yuan was still unconvinced by this and stared at Ma Yue hatefully. However, when other generals no longer objected, his status was not as good as that of Li Que and other Dong Zhuo's favorite generals, so naturally he could no longer object. But he

The expression on Ma Yue's eyes made him quite wary: "It seems that not all the people in the Xiliang army are people who think about themselves. At least this Zhao Yuan is a trouble. I have to find a way to deal with him.

Otherwise, it would not be a good thing to have such a person around you!"

"Zhong Ling, you just said that you have executed all the courtiers who caused the death of my lord?" After the matter was explained, everyone's attitude became much more cordial. Li Ru then remembered something and couldn't help but ask.

Ma Yue nodded: "Yes, after they killed my lord, they suddenly killed those who were close to us in the court. Seeing that the situation was not good, they sent people to attack them."

"Then why is Lu Bu willing to watch you eliminate his accomplices?" Zhao Yuan asked the question at the right time.

Ma Yue smiled and said, "Lu Bu and these courtiers are just using each other, so how can they really fight against my Ma family for them? And he must be worried that he will end up like those who are being used by the courtiers in their own way.

He followed in the footsteps of the officials who were close to our Xiliang Army and were convicted for this reason, so he turned a blind eye to this.

"In addition, maybe he also knew that after the Lord's accident, the generals would definitely lead their troops to fight back, so he led his troops to leave Chang'an early, but now he no longer knows where he is."

"Hmph, you and Lu Bu are in the same city, and you just watched him retreat. How dare you say that you didn't have some collusion with him?" Zhao Yuan grabbed another question and said aggressively. This is exactly what Ma Yue said.

This is the most difficult thing to justify, because if you really love the Xiliang army, how could you sit back and watch Lu Bu leave? What's more, when the Xiliang army is about to arrive, you should try your best to hold off Lu Bu so as to repay Dong Zhuo's death.

Where is the hatred?

In this regard, Ma Yue did not rush to explain, but just smiled bitterly: "I want to do this, but the soldiers and horses under my command are not under my control." His words were enough to explain everything. Although everyone subconsciously

They all equate Ma Yue and Ma Teng - they are father and son after all - but Ma Yue reminds them that in fact he and the Ma family are on different paths.

Li Ru and others easily accepted this, because in their view, Ma Yue had been following Dong Zhuo in recent years and did not meet his family often. It is understandable that the two sides have different positions.

Although Ma Teng can be regarded as Dong Zhuo's subordinate, he can

Lixing is far stronger than ordinary generals, so after Dong Zhuo was killed, there was certainly no need for him to devote all his strength to fighting the so-called enemy Lu Bu. Ma Teng should be happy for Lu Bu to leave at this time.

In fact, Li Que and others put themselves in another position and found that if they were in Ma Teng's position, it would be difficult for them to make this decision and let their men compete with Lu Bu based on the foundation of Xiliang. So after what Ma Yue said,

They all accepted this reason, but everyone looked a little embarrassed.

Originally, they wanted to avenge their lord, but after Ma Yue's words, they saw their true intentions clearly. It turned out that at this time, they were not as loyal to Dong Zhuo as they thought. Since everyone is divided,

, then there is nothing to blame the Ma family, so after that, no one mentioned anything about Lu Bu and revenge.

"Now that the words have been spoken, please go to Chang'an City to rest. Presumably, the Kwantung Allied Forces who have got the news will come to kill them soon, and we still have to deal with them." After solving the fatal problem, Ma Ma

Yue finally breathed a sigh of relief and then made such a proposal.

Naturally, the generals will not object to this. Chang'an City still has the wealth they have accumulated since coming to the Central Plains this time, and the Emperor is still there. They believe that as long as they occupy the city and defend it, even if the Kwantung Allied Forces come to attack, it will be enough.

I resisted for a while.

Now that this feud has been resolved, Ma Yue also said goodbye to several generals. He still wanted to return to Chang'an to explain everything, and then had people open the city gates to welcome the army into the city. In order to express their position, Li Ru and others

, and then sent him out of the big tent.

When Ma Yue and the generals walked out of the tent, they found that many soldiers outside the tent were still watching eagerly. It was obvious that everyone was concerned about how this matter would develop. When they saw Ma Yue walking out safely,

With a bit of a smile on his face, he seemed to be relieved, and his originally tangled expression became much more relaxed.

Seeing this, Ma Yue guessed the thoughts of the soldiers - they did not want to fight with their former companions, let alone fight to the death for this hatred. So he spoke at the right time: "Everyone, Xi

Liang warriors, today

ri I came over immediately and explained the misunderstanding clearly with the generals. Although my lord is now killed by a villain, I have avenged him. We will soon be able to return to Chang'an and reunite together to fight against each other.

Those enemies!"

"Okay... Mr. Ma is indeed innocent!"

"I have said it before, how can we Xiliang people fight against ourselves? This time we have finally eliminated the misunderstanding, then we still have a chance to regain a foothold in the Central Plains..."

"We have to avenge our lord, but we must first identify the real enemy before taking action..." After listening to Ma Yue's words, the soldiers of Xiliang couldn't help cheering, and some also expressed their opinions.

From their own opinions. Originally, they did not dare to express these thoughts. After all, they did not know what the generals were planning. If they said something wrong, they would probably be accused. But now, when they learned about the civil war

After I can no longer fight, I no longer have such worries.

When Li Ru and others saw the scene in front of them and heard the chaotic cheers of the soldiers, they had different feelings in their hearts. Only then did they realize that the soldiers under their command did not want to fight the army in Chang'an City. Then they thought about what would happen if

If I had insisted on attacking the city before, with such military morale, I could not imagine the consequences.

At the same time, Zhang Ji also looked at Ma Yue who was being praised by the soldiers with a profound look, and said in his heart: "This Ma Zhongling is really thoughtful, he actually thought of this trick, just in case we are just pretending to agree to him."

Let’s pursue it further. In this case, even if we really have this intention, I’m afraid the soldiers will not be able to fully obey orders by then. He is really good at calculating!”

The other people who noticed this also looked at Ma Yue with a somewhat complicated look. Obviously, they did not expect Ma Yue to make this move. However, when the matter has reached this point, even if they have any dissatisfaction, they cannot express it anymore.

After they came out, they had to force themselves to smile and once again emphasized to the soldiers that they had canceled the plan to attack the city and would lead the troops into Chang'an the next day.

Amidst the cheers, Ma Yue once again left the military camp on horseback and returned to Chang'an City. What was completely different from the uneasy mood when he came was that now he was full of confidence in the future. He believed that he would be able to do it in the near future.

He replaced Dong Zhuo's previous position in the Xiliang army. Some clues can already be seen from the attitude of the sergeants towards him today.

The war finally turned into a bargain due to Ma Yue's efforts. This made Ma Teng, who was still very worried, but had already made all preparations for the army and carried all the arrows and stones to the city, heaving a sigh of relief. So this

This time he praised Ma Yue generously: "Yue'er, you really saved everyone this time. If you hadn't taken a big risk to deal with those Xiliang generals, maybe our Chang'an City would have really saved everyone."

It's almost over. But...are you really sure that they didn't deliberately trick us into opening the city gate and then suddenly attack us?"

"Father, just rest assured. Now the ordinary sergeants in the army outside the city no longer want to fight with us, so even if they go back on their word, it will be of no use. Doing so will only make their military morale drop, and they may even lose at our hands. So.

This time, we have overcome the biggest difficulty!"

"It's best to be so natural!" Ma Teng said happily.

Early the next morning, the Xiliang army outside the city arrived at Chang'an City. As expected, the city gate was opened wide for them, and the defenders in the city did not show any signs of caution. This further showed the Ma family's sincerity.

After seeing all this and seeing the defensive equipment placed at the top of the city, the Xiliang generals felt that their choice was the right one. Otherwise, even if they captured Chang'an, their casualties would have been quite huge.

In this way, half a month after Dong Zhuo was killed, the Xiliang army reunited and lost their previous suspicions. However, for them, the real challenge was imminent. After learning the exact news of Dong Zhuo's death,
