Lu Bu looked at the invitation in his hand in astonishment.
He asked with some disbelief: "Wen Yuan, are you really the one sent by Ma Zhenxi to the Longmen Inn for the banquet and invited only one person?"
After asking three questions in a row, Zhang Liao looked very confused.
Because he didn't dare to tell Lu Bu that the person who sent the invitation was actually Ma Chao Since I can come to Bingzhou Barracks to send invitations, why don't I just go in and find the lord instead of the lord?
Why are you still holding your hand and talking so much nonsense?
"My lord, it is indeed Ma Zhenxi who is sending me to you, and I also sent a cart of Fufeng distilled liquor and fifty Western scimitars," Zhang Liao said, and replied in a strange tone.
Lu Bu was also slightly surprised: Ma Chao invited him to a banquet for no reason, which was very strange.
Moreover, it would be better to go to the most famous Longmen Inn in Chang'an or to have a top-notch private room on the third floor.
Even if Ma Zhenxi is free these days, it would be reasonable to show off his generosity and his rejection of his banquet some time ago.
But what do the Fufeng distilled liquor and fifty Western scimitars mean?
You know, even if Dong Zhuo threatened him several times, Ma Chao never showed any of these things.
Lu Bu frowned, opened a jar of distilled wine, and wanted to take a drink to clear his mind.
Unexpectedly, the aroma of this bottle of distilled wine was several times more fragrant than the distilled wine he usually drank.
Lu Bu was suspicious again.
After taking a sip, he felt that the wine was difficult to enter his throat.
It was too spicy and hot.
"This is why Ma Zhenxi is definitely not the one who fooled Bu, why is this distilled wine so different from the past?"
Lu Bu said in shock, and Zhang Liao seemed to suddenly think of this, took out a piece of paper and said: "My lord, this is Ma Zhenxi specifically told me to wait until you drink this wine before showing it to you."
Lu Bu was extremely confused at this time.
He opened the Fufeng paper in a daze and suddenly asked as if he had woken up: "Wen Yuan just said that it was Ma Chao who sent the invitations and gifts."
Zhang Liao nodded.
He really couldn't figure out what Ma Chao was doing.
And Lu Bu also held the same suspicion.
I couldn't help but quickly read the content on the paper, the first sentence.
This made Lu Bu dumbfounded: "Uncle, it must be spicy."
Lu Bu smiled bitterly, not knowing what to say to Ma Chao.
However, the further he looked down, the bitter smile on Lu Bu's face gradually disappeared, until finally, he even showed a solemn and serious expression: "Wenyuan.
Gather the generals and go to the wounded camp quickly."
After that, he He ran out in a hurry.
Zhang Liao didn't understand what he meant.
But still obeyed the order.
After a while, Lu Bu entered the wounded camp.
Wails filled the camp here, and the smell of medicine was overwhelming.
Lu Bu rarely appeared.
However, at this moment he frowned.
He still calmly called the doctor: "There are more than a dozen soldiers newly injured by swords, guns and arrows."
Although the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry did not have many battles these days, Lu Bu's training methods were very harsh.
During the drills, real swords and guns were used, and it was too common for more than a dozen people to be injured.
After a while, the doctor followed Lu Bu's instructions.
Sixteen wounded soldiers were carried to an empty camp.
Then, according to Lu Bu's instructions, they were divided into two groups.
One group used the salt water commonly used in the army to clean the wounds, and the other group used the wine sent by Ma Chao to clean it.
The soldier whose wounds were cleaned with salt water, although he wanted to maintain his tough image in front of Lu Bu, the God of War in his heart, was still sweating and wailing.
Although the patients who used wine to clean their wounds frowned, none of them wailed.
It seemed that the pain they suffered was indeed much lighter than that of that group of people.

Lu Bu watched the doctor's operation gloomily, his face becoming more solemn.
At this time, a patient who was wiping his wound with wine finally couldn't help but cry out.
Lu Bu looked around with electric eyes, but saw that the soldier was quite tough.
He directly picked up the wine and took two sips.
In the end, it was only two sips.
That kid was drunk to death, and he no longer made people unhappy by crying like a ghost or a wolf.
When the generals saw this scene, they all smiled, although they didn't know what Lu Bu meant.
Only Gao Shun remained silent and had bright eyes.
Everyone followed his gaze and saw that among the two groups, the most seriously injured patient who was drunk to death could not stand the stimulation and corrosion of salt water at the previous moment and fainted from the pain.
"Lord, this is it," Gao Shun said, but for a moment he didn't know how to ask in detail.
But Lu Bu did not answer, and coldly ordered the doctor: "You will continue to do this in the next few days.
When the wound improves, you will report it as soon as possible."
After turning over and walking out of the room, Lu Bu handed Ma Chao's letter to the generals for circulation.
And the expressions of the generals gradually became serious.
"Lord, if it is true as Ma Zhenxi said, this alcoholic thing is really a weapon for the army," Zhang Liao was surprised and couldn't help but say.
The remaining generals also nodded in agreement: they have all fought in wars and know the dangers of casualties after war.
Cleaning wounds with salt water is their most common and best method, but the effect is not ideal, and wound ulceration and death have always been a big problem.
If this alcohol is, as Ma Chao said, hundreds of times more effective than salt water, it will greatly reduce the casualties of soldiers, and soldiers who have gone through battles are a rare treasure.
The significance of this does not need to be explained by Ma Chao.
These battlefields All the veterans can weigh it.
"Let's go to the ordnance camp."
Lu Bu didn't reply, so he ran with the generals again.
After arriving at the ordnance camp, Lu Bu first picked out nine scimitars and threw them to his eight strong generals and Gao Shun.
Then, he picked up the tenth scimitar and used the blade to slash an ordinary ring-headed sword.
I saw sparks flying everywhere, and the ring-headed knife broke with a sound.
If you look closely at the Western Scimitar, there is not even a single gap.
The generals were stunned.
They didn't understand the purpose of Lu Bu throwing the scimitar to them before, but now they realized that it was to reward them with a precious blade that can cut iron like clay.
"This, this knife" Wei Xu said, obviously wanting to know where it came from.
However, when he saw Lu Bu's cold eyes, he wisely closed his mouth.
After Lu Bu snorted lightly, he asked Zhang Liao: "Wen Yuan, how can this sword compare to this?"
"It's a big difference."
Zhang Liao wondered what Lu Bu wanted to ask and replied: "Ma Chao's iron sword has a cold light and is covered with fish scales and cloud satin.
It is obviously a peerless sharp blade made of satin.
And although this sword cuts iron like mud, But I’m afraid it’s still far away from Su Tie Jian.”
After hearing what he said, Lu Bu's expression changed.
Finally, as if he understood Ma Chao's intention, he smiled slightly: Ma Chao means that I can provide you with a peerless sword, but in order to ensure the combat effectiveness of our Ma family army, you can only be equipped with such weapons that are superior to other weapons of the Han Dynasty. , but inferior to Majia Su Tie’s weapon At this time, the question comes back: Why did Ma Chao send alcohol to reduce the mortality rate of soldiers, and such a weapon that can cut iron like mud?
What does he want to take from himself?
Lu Bu leisurely looked at the exquisite invitation, and he knew that he had no reason to refuse Ma Chao's invitation.
What's more serious is that he also vaguely feels that something unexpected will happen when he goes to see Ma Chao this time:
