"There's no need to rush. Can all 20,000 iron cavalry obey your orders?" Lu Li asked calmly.

After pondering for a moment, Ma Chao said, "When my father was dying, he gave me the tiger tally to command the iron cavalry. As long as I have this tiger tally, all 20,000 iron cavalry will obey my command."

"Well, in that case, there's no rush to transfer them to Yizhou. They can stay in Xiliang; I have a use for them!" Lu Li's eyes flashed with an unusual light, making him hard to understand.

"Master, do you have some plans?" Leifu couldn't help but ask.

Lu Li smiled without saying a word, his gaze falling on Ma Chao, and said, "The Xiliang Iron Cavalry are brave and skilled in battle; they are a formidable force. Which warlord in the world wouldn't want to obtain them?"

"Dong Zhuo had 30,000 Xiliang cavalry under his command, yet he dared to enter Luoyang, seize control of the court, and carry out the act of deposing and installing emperors!"

Leifu felt a slight jolt in his heart, as if he understood his master's meaning.

"You mean to say that all the feudal lords will try every means to recruit Junior Brother?" Leif asked, frowning.

Lu Li's lips curled slightly, revealing a strange arc.

"Yes, especially Cao Cao of Yan Province and Yuan Shao of Ji Province, they are very eager to take him."

Ma Chao was somewhat confused and didn't understand what Lu Li meant.

"Mengqi, if these two secretly contact you, don't refuse them outright. Keep them in suspense!" Lu Li instructed.

Ma Chao was taken aback for a moment, then nodded and said, "Disciple will obey Master's orders!"

"Master, what do you want to do?" Leif asked.

He didn't know what his master was planning, but seeing how confident Lu Li was, he knew that he must have a next step in his plan.

"I have my own plan."
