Reborn in the Three Kingdoms, I stole Liu Bei's uncle

Guan Yu won, although the victory was not easy, but victory is victory.

Ma Chao's face looked ashen. He had always believed that with his martial arts skills, he would not be defeated even if facing Lu Bu.

Facing Guan Yu, he had no doubt at all. He believed that Guan Yu would soon fall under his gun, and he would leave proudly with the remaining Xiliang knights.

Who would have thought that he would be captured by Guan Yu after fighting for more than a hundred moves. Looking at the cold light flashing from the Green Dragon Crescent Blade on his neck, Ma Chao's face became even more frustrated.

If the two armies were facing each other, he would have been killed by Guan Yu long ago.

Guan Yu slowly drew back his sword, without much expression on his face.

Ma Chao's face was pale. He bent down and saluted Guan Yu.

"General Guan is an excellent martial artist, I am not as good as him."

"Okay, okay. Being able to fight with Guan for more than a hundred moves, Meng Qi has few rivals in the world."

After saying this, Guan Yu rode his horse back to Liu Yu.

After hearing Guan Yu's words of comfort, Ma Chao did not know whether to laugh or cry. He really could not tell whether Guan Yu was praising himself or him.

Since you have already lost, you must abide by the agreement.

Ma Chao dismounted, walked up to Liu Yu and bowed.

"I am willing to follow my uncle, always at his side, and will not change my mind until death."

As Ma Chao bowed, the Xiliang cavalry behind him also saluted.

"I am willing to die for my uncle."

"I am willing to die for my uncle."

Liu Yu slowly walked towards Ma Chao, held him with his hand, and said slowly: "Since Meng Qi is willing to surrender, we are now family members. No need to be polite. Get up quickly."

After saying that, he pulled Ma Chao up.

"Thank you, uncle." Ma Chao stood up and said hurriedly.

Liu Yu said to the Xiliang cavalry behind Ma Chao: "Everyone, please stand up."

When the Xiliang cavalry heard Liu Yu say this, they all stood up.

"Thank you, uncle."

"Thank you, uncle."

……

……

Ma Teng stood in front of the cavalry with a respectful attitude but a very complicated mood.

Originally, he wanted to take the opportunity to kidnap the emperor and enjoy the feeling of ruling the world.

Who knew that his plan would end up with more losses than gains? Not only did his plan fail, but his most heroic son also had to join Liu Yu's army.

However, judging from the current situation, Liu Yu's wisdom is too far-reaching, and his generals are also very brave. As long as he still occupies Chang'an, he will never have the chance to leave Xiliang again.

Ma Teng secretly admired the talent and potential displayed by this young man who was only in his twenties.

Could it be that Heaven would not destroy the Han Dynasty, and that Heaven sent such a genius to save the Han Empire?

Many years ago, my ancestors assisted such a person to achieve success. Is it really my turn now?

If this is true, it would be a blessing for the entire family for Ma Chao to join Liu Yu's army and be appreciated by him.

From this moment on, the fate of his family was temporarily tied to Liu Yu.

Thinking of this, Ma Teng hurriedly walked up to Liu Yu to show his loyalty.

"Uncle, from now on, Ma Teng and his men will obey your orders. If you give me an order, I will go through fire and water and will not refuse even if I die."

"Shou Cheng doesn't need to go through fire and water." Liu Yu said calmly, "You just need to control your people and protect the land after you return to Xiliang."

"Also, I'll tell you which of my good brothers, Han Sui and Han Wenyue, should behave themselves. If he causes trouble again, I will personally lead the army to crush his tribe and use his head to offer sacrifice to heaven and earth."

These words instantly made Ma Teng feel cold on his back. Liu Yu was talking about Han Sui, but this approach also applied to himself. If he had any second thoughts, the outcome would be the same.

"Don't worry, uncle. When I get back, I will definitely convince Wen Yue to let him serve you for life. If he dares to have other intentions, I will cut off his head with my own hands and present it to you without your help."

Liu Yu nodded. He was very satisfied with Ma Teng's answer. This battle had already frightened Ma Teng. With Ma Chao staying by his side, Xiliang would be safe in the short term.

However, Liu Yu did not want Ma Teng to return to Xiliang so easily. After all, he had been making a lot of efforts for a long time, which consumed a lot of his brain cells and even lost some bows and arrows. It was obviously not enough to just take Ma Chao. He had to ask Ma Teng for some interest.

"What did Shoucheng say just now about going to the fire and resigning?"

"I would rather go through fire and water than die." Ma Teng was a little confused. He didn't know what Liu Yu meant by suddenly bringing up this matter again.

"Actually, there's no need to be so exaggerated." Liu Yu had a smile on his face, and this smile made Ma Teng feel even more uneasy when he saw it in his eyes.

"If your uncle has any orders, just tell me. I will do my best."

Liu Yu laughed out loud.

"Shoucheng, as you know, we just pacified Chang'an recently. Although I won this battle, I also suffered certain losses, especially war horses, which are in short supply. I know that Xiliang produces horses, can I..."

The smile on Liu Yu's face at this moment was very similar to that of Grandma Wolf visiting Little Red Riding Hood.

Having said that, if Ma Teng still doesn't understand, then all his efforts over the years have been in vain.

"Don't worry, uncle. I will send you three thousand fine horses after I return."

"Three thousand horses." Liu Yu's tone was a little strange. Obviously, he did not expect Ma Teng to be so generous. You know, war horses in this era are more precious than gold.

He was so shocked by Ma Teng that he didn't know what to say for a moment.

Liu Yu's strange behavior appeared in a different light in Ma Teng's eyes.

Could it be that the emperor's uncle was dissatisfied with the fact that the horses he supplied were too few?

He gritted his teeth and continued, "Uncle, then five thousand horses, what do you think?"

Liu Yu didn't expect that his shock would bring him an unexpected surprise. He looked at Ma Teng and saw that although Ma Teng's eyes were full of smiles, it was obvious that these 5,000 horses had made him feel a little painful.

The number of horses at this time had far exceeded Liu Yu's expectations. Naturally, he would not just pluck all the wool off Ma Teng, the fat sheep.

"In that case, let's follow Shoucheng's advice."

Seeing Liu Yu agreed, Ma Teng felt relieved.

Although it was a bit painful for him to mobilize five thousand horses, it was not impossible for him to do it.

It's just a matter of how much cost you pay.

It would be difficult to gather so many horses from one's own tribe, and if things go wrong, one might have to buy some from horse dealers.

Thinking that the money he had saved would soon shrink drastically, Ma Teng felt a pang of pain in his heart.

Although Ma Teng concealed it well, Liu Yu still noticed the momentary unnaturalness.

Although Liu Yu was young, he had the experience accumulated over two thousand years.

In the fiercely competitive and extremely inward-looking world, observing people's words and expressions is a compulsory course.

After experiencing countless beatings in society, Liu Yu gave up his innocence and arrogance, and continued to practice hard on this path, and he couldn't stop.

There is no way. The times are progressing. Since people cannot change society, they must actively integrate into it. After all, they need to make a living.

"Shoucheng, I won't give you these horses for nothing. How about this? I'll have someone send you a thousand kilograms of refined salt as payment for these horses. What do you think?"
