Three Kingdoms: From Hulaoguan to Global Hegemony

Chapter 138 Discussion
After entering the house, Liu Yu and Ma Teng paid respects to Niu Fu. Niu Fu looked at Ma Teng a few times and wondered how he and Liu Yu got together.

"Is this the helper Muzhi is looking for?"

While inquiring, Niu Fu's eyes showed caution, he had to be careful because it was a confidential matter, and if he leaked the news, he would be severely punished by Dong Zhuo.

"General Niu, don't worry, Ma Teng's son is my apprentice, brother Shoucheng can definitely be relied upon!" Liu Yu acted as a guarantor for Ma Teng.

Both Ma Teng and Han Sui are new generals, and they are marginal figures in the Xiliang Army, but at the same time they are also the targets of various corps.

Since Ma Teng participated in the plan, Niu Fu would naturally not miss this opportunity to win him over.

"General Shoucheng is willing to help. It's really great. From now on, you and Muzhi will be my right-hand man, Niufu!"

"Thank you, General Cheqi! From now on, I will obey the general's instructions!"

After Ma Teng and Niu Fu expressed their "loyalty", Liu Yu curiously pointed to another general and asked, "Who is this general?"

"His name is Xu Huang, and he is a subordinate of General Zuo Li Jue!"

Niu Fu stretched out his hand to introduce, Xu Huang got up to meet him, and when he came to Liu Yu, he gave a secret wink, and Liu Yu smiled knowingly when he saw it.

Xu Huang is just a lieutenant colonel, the youngest of the four in the room, but he represents Li Jue, so Liu Yu and Ma Teng showed surprise and shock expressions when they learned of his identity.

Ma Teng thought to himself, "I didn't expect that the helper Niu Fu recruited turned out to be another big brother in the Xiliang army!"

Li Jue was once the No. [-] figure in the Xiliang Army. When Dong Zhuo awarded the Sifang General, it was Niu Fu's strong recommendation that made Li Jue surpass Guo Bang, who had a higher voice at that time, and became the head of the Four King Kongs in Xiliang.

It's just that this matter has never been rumored. The world thought that Dong Zhuo appreciated Li Jue, but in fact it was an ulterior transaction between Niu Fu and Li Jue.

And this time Li Jue came to help Niu Fu just to repay the kindness at that time.

Knowing that Li Jue would also participate in the plan, Ma Teng was really surprised, but Liu Yu was secretly happy.

Because before he first came to Luoyang City, he used the recruitment card rewarded by the system to directly increase Xu Huang's loyalty to full value.

In other words, apart from Niu Fu, everyone in the house is actually his people!Liu Yu thought that maybe this time he could really bring all of Guo Si's defeated soldiers under his command.

In fact, in order to show "greedy" before so that Niu Fu thought he was a person who could be used, Liu Yu deliberately asked to annex all the defeated troops of Guo Bang alone after the plan was successful.

But in order not to put Niu Fu on guard, Liu Yu had no choice but to show greed more than ability. After all, killing Guo Si's army was only the first step in his overall plan.

He didn't want to be too eye-catching and cause Niu Fu to stare at him.

So Liu Yu repeatedly thought that Guo Bang's army was too strong, and Guo Bang could not be completely killed by his own plan alone, so he had to find some helpers to make things happen. At the same time, he couldn't agree to share Guo Bang's defeated army with others.

It was from this moment that Niu Fu completely believed in Liu Yu's plan.

Because Niu Fu believes that a person with great greed and ability must not be easy to be controlled.

However, Liu Yu's proposal to find more helpers after judging the situation is echoing Niu Fu's original intention. The more people involved in the plan, the less the turmoil after Guo Si's death will affect Niu Fu.

The four sat down separately, and Niu Fu asked first, "Has Wang Yun started contacting Baibo Bandit?"

Liu Yu nodded affirmatively, "The royalist faction not only contacted the Baibo bandits, but also assembled tens of thousands of private soldiers from the manor outside the city. It seems that when Guo Bang is defeated, Wang Yun and the others will definitely want a piece of the pie!"

After hearing the news, Niu Fu looked at the expressions of the other two. Today's meeting was not only to discuss the ambush plan against Guo Si, but also a discussion to carve up Guo Si's defeated troops in advance.

It's just that the royalists also want to get involved, which is bound to make this cake less.

But in order for the plan to proceed smoothly and Liu Yu's undercover identity not to be exposed, Niu Fu really had nothing to do with the [-] private soldiers.

"What do Captain Xu and General Ma think about this?"

Xu Huang represented Li Jue, so he was the first to express his opinion, "In the future, we will bring 5000 elites and arrange them near Xin'an County. My general told us that there should be no less than [-] people when we go back!"

Obviously Li Jue's bottom line this time is to divide 1 of Guo Si's defeated troops.

Guo Si's army has a total of only 2 troops, and it will definitely lose a lot after being ambushed according to the plan. It would be very good to gather 1 remnants. Li Jue's appetite for [-] is really a bit big.

Then it was Ma Teng, he had been instructed by Liu Yu before he came, and now he only needs to talk according to what was set before.

"The last general is responsible for the defense of Luoyang's east gate, and he can only send 5000 troops at most. As for the plan, it will be very satisfying to have 8000 to [-] people return to the city!"

Ma Teng asked for only 3000 people, and Niu Fu smiled with satisfaction after hearing this.

"That's great! Then give the remaining defeated soldiers to Muzhi no matter how many are left!" Niu Fu had no intention of accepting Guo Si's defeated soldiers from the beginning, and his only purpose was to completely stabilize the position of the son-in-law of the Dong family.

But even so, there are not many "cakes" left. After all, there is a royalist faction who is eyeing him, so the maximum number of people who can reach Liu Yu's hands is 5000.

Liu Yu pretended to be dissatisfied, but Niu Fu persuaded him that it was a good deal to get thousands of elite soldiers for nothing without sending a single soldier.

He also promised that as long as Liu Yu could find out about the mysterious rich businessman, Niu Fu would immediately ask Dong Zhuo to order all the troops at Hulao Pass to be under his command.

After learning of Liu Yu's strength, both Ma Teng and Xu Huang showed surprised expressions.

"Ding, Ma Teng's friendliness has reached 100!"

Whether it was giving away the right to develop horse equipment or hinting at the big plan to bring down Dong Zhuo, Ma Teng failed to gain much friendliness.

But when he heard that Liu Yu turned out to be the potential commander of Hulaoguan, Ma Teng was immediately in awe.

Sure enough, if you want to convince the public in troubled times, you have to pass the test with hard power.

Although Ma Teng's friendliness has reached full value, the success rate of recruiting him is not high. If you want to completely subdue him, you have to take it slowly.

After deciding on the distribution plan, the four of them talked about the ambush plan in detail.

The plan was all planned by Liu Yu, including the use and transmission of information from the royalists, so Niu Fu elected Liu Yu to be the commander-in-chief of the ambush plan. Xu Huang and Ma Teng had no objection after hearing this.

So after an hour of deliberation, the meeting came to a successful conclusion.

Niu Fu is very satisfied with this meeting. According to the plan, Guo Si's defeat is imminent, and the remnant soldiers after his death will be divided up by several families. This will not only prevent Liu Yu from suddenly becoming the dominant family, but also make Xi The degree to which the Liang army was weakened was minimized.

But Niu Fu was a bit early to be happy, Liu Yu was in control of the whole plan, how could he watch the "cake" being divided up by others!
When Xu Huang left, he only said that he was waiting for Liu Yu's command in Xin'an County, and then turned and left Luoyang City.

Ma Teng at the side felt that this person was a little arrogant and not very social, but he didn't know that Xu Huang was actually a nail buried in Li Jue's army by Liu Yu.

When he was not summoned, he had to keep a distance from Liu Yu, so as not to be seen through the relationship between the two.

What worries Liu Yu is that Xu Huang's loyalty seems to be showing some signs of decline. Originally, his loyalty was 100, but now it has dropped to 95.

Is it because the generals recruited with item cards have some inherent disadvantages?
