Chapter 58
Ma Teng knew that the opponent he was about to face was Lu Bu. Lu Bu was known as being invincible in the world and possessed undue courage. The combination of the former and the latter undoubtedly brought Lu Bu's reputation to the point where most generals were terrified.

Ning Bufan is not worried about Lu Bu. In Ning Bufan's view, there is no doubt that Lu Bu is brave and invincible, but when it comes to using troops, Lu Bu is really good at it, even better than Cai.

We arrived at Hulao Pass ahead. Ma Teng called Ning Bufan and Ma Chao to the big tent. He wanted to know what method to use next, whether to really send troops to attack the city, or to feign an attack, and then say that he had defeated it, so that he could ask Yuan Shao. The two brothers Yuan Shu continued to ask for food and grass.

At this time, Ma Chao also had no idea, because the one who promised to get 20 shi of grain and grass was Ning Bufan.

Ning Bufan smiled lightly: "Please rest assured, my lord, I have my own plan."

As a military adviser, Ning Bufan also imitated Zhuge Liang to decorate the gourd with medicine.

Although Ma Teng didn't know what good strategy Ning Bufan had, but his intuition told him that this person could be trusted.

During the day, Lu Bu led an army out to call for battle, saying that he wanted to capture Ma Teng alive, and continued to insult him before the battle.

Ning Bufan learned to ride horses in the military camp, and issued a military order to deploy archers in the base camp, as long as Lu Bu dared to go to the minefield, he would shoot arrows.

Lu Bu sent someone to scold him all morning, but no one responded, he was a little anxious and unwilling.

But Ning Bufan didn't want anyone to come out. Lu Bu's army was only [-], and Ma Teng was a multiple of him in terms of numbers, so naturally Lu Bu didn't dare to take the initiative to attack.

In the afternoon, Lu Bu still refused to let go. He thought about cursing until evening, and then went back after scolding.

At ten o'clock in the afternoon, Ning Bufan ordered half of the soldiers in the barracks to take a nap.

Although Ma Teng and Ma Chao were worried, they still respected Ning Bufan's strategy.

As Ning Bufan expected, Lu Bu did not dare to attack at all, because the attacking party would pay a considerable price.

Lu Bu had relatively few soldiers, so naturally he would not take such a risk.

In the evening, Lu Bu scolded Ma Teng and Ma Chao all day, and he was a little tired, so he prepared to go back to Hulao.

At this time, Ning Bufan began to arrange soldiers, and the soldiers he arranged were all well fed in the afternoon, so naturally they would not feel sleepy at night.

Ning Bufan asked Ma Chao to fight Lu Bu, while the other soldiers, led by Ma Dai, were going around to attack Lu Bu's rear.

These soldiers were all in high spirits, and even Ma Dai had a good night's sleep, not in the same state as the [-] sleepy soldiers led by Lu Bu.

"Are you Lu Fengxian?" Ma Chao came out holding a spear.

Seeing that finally someone was going to fight with him, Lu Bu was a little excited at the moment. He squeezed the Fang Tian painted halberd in his hand, and said coldly, "You are Ma Teng's son, Ma Chao?"

"Exactly, I dare to call myself invincible in Xiliang, what about you?" Ma Chao pointed a gun at Lu Bu and said.

Lv Bu said coldly: "I claim to be invincible in the world, Liu Guanzhang was beaten to death by me, and the eighteen princes were immediately frightened when they heard my name."

Ma Chao deliberately delayed the time, and said, "Really? Then do you dare to fight me?"

If someone challenged him, Lu Bu would naturally not hesitate. He said, "If I can't take your head, I, Lu Bu, will give you the reputation of being invincible in the world."

"drive."

Immediately, Lu Bu and Ma Chao charged towards each other.

Ma Chao's martial arts are superb, and the battle with Lu Bu can be described as thrilling.

However, Lu Bu's strength and weapons are stronger than Ma Chao's. If the fight continues, Ma Chao is likely to lose.

Ma Chao also had to admit that Lu Bu was indeed an opponent worthy of attention. Lu Bu's fighting spirit was aroused, and he really wanted to win Ma Chao, but he was always not so good.

It was almost time for Ma Chao to delay. At this time, Ma Dai had already circled behind Lu Bu.

The rear of Lu Bu's army was ambushed, so naturally he didn't want to fight the horse again.

He scolded angrily: "Ma Chao, you treacherous villain, you actually sent someone to sneak attack the rear of our army."

Ma Chao laughed loudly and said, "Lu Fengxian, the world knows that you are brave and intrepid, and seeing you today, it's true."

Lu Bu knew that at this time, only he could lead the cavalry to break through, and the infantry would follow if they could keep up, and those who could not keep up could only be abandoned.

At this time, Ma Dai's soldiers said loudly: "All those who surrender will not die, put down their weapons, and our army will never kill prisoners."

Many soldiers following Lu Bu saw that they had nowhere to escape, and it was getting late, and it was easy to lose their way if they tried to escape, so they had to put down their weapons and pray that what the Xiliang army said was true.

Ma Dai is a person with very strong execution ability, he obeys the words of the military adviser Ning Bufan.

After the soldiers surrendered, they were escorted back to the base camp.

Ning Bufan knew that most of those soldiers lived in the Central Plains, so he naturally didn't think about making these captives his own army.

This side has just made a big blow from the two brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, which can be considered rich.

Ning Bufan arranged for the captives to be entertained with good wine and meat, and gave the captives some tolls to go home. Although it was not much, it was also their military salary for three years.

Ma Teng and Ma Chao didn't understand the significance of Ning Bufan's actions. Ning Bufan explained: "We treat these captives kindly. When we fight with other armies in the future, our reputation will be publicized, and we will not resist us desperately."

Ning Bufan said seriously: "We want to help the Han family, war is inevitable, and the money is gone. I have a way to ask the two brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, but harmony between people is the key to success."

As a military commander, Ma Chao didn't understand these things very well, but Ma Teng was far-sighted, and he nodded meaningfully, approving Ning Bufan's thoughts.

Those captured soldiers couldn't believe it was true. Under normal circumstances, as a prisoner, they would either be included in the death squads or be treated as coolies. In short, they would not end well.

But now, not only do they not have to suffer inhuman treatment, but they can also go home with three years of military pay. What a blessing it is.

However, there are also some prisoners who choose to stay because there is no one at home and no home. In other words, they have nowhere to go, except to enlist in the army.

Ning Bufan is also willing to take them in, because he knows that those prisoners also regard these Xiliang soldiers as their partners, the army.

For the first victory, Ning Bufan defeated Lu Bu with a little trick. The remaining army of Lu Bu guarding Hulao Pass was no longer a concern. At this time, it was time to make another blow to the two brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu.

Who is Yuan Shao's family, who has four generations and three fathers, and has plenty of money and food.
