Chapter 940: The Surrender of the Xiliang Lion
This roar, the anger of departure, shocked the Ma family brothers and sisters' eardrums numb.
Ma Chao looked back, but saw Yang Fuzheng striding in angrily, with a look of indignation.
"This guy is eavesdropping!" Ma Yunlu raised his eyebrows and pressed the hilt of the sword with his hand.
Ma Chao stopped in front of his sister, looked at the oncoming Yang Fu, and said calmly: "Since you have heard the conversation between our brother and sister in Yishan, then I won't hide it from you, that's right, I do plan to open the city and surrender to Great Wei, Yang Yishan, you are resourceful, you will definitely be appreciated by Emperor Wei, come out with me!" ”
"Nonsense!" Yang Fu roared angrily: "You and I are both Han Chen, how can we betray the court, betray Your Majesty, and be that disloyal and unrighteous traitor!" ”
Ma Chao didn't have a trace of guilt on his face, and said lightly: "Since you heard our conversation, you should understand why my Ma family betrayed Liu Bei, it was his injustice first, after my Ma family's betrayal, I am frank and have a clear conscience!" ”
"Ma Chao, you, you-" Yang Fu was furious, wanting to reprimand Ma Chao, but he couldn't find the right words for a while.
Ma Chao said: "Yang Yishan, no matter what, now that Liu Bei's attack on Yongcheng was defeated, the last chance was also lost, and Liu Bei's downfall is a foregone conclusion, no matter how foolish and loyal you are, follow me to your majesty." ”
"Don't think!" Yang Fu flatly refused, "Your Majesty has the grace of knowing me Yang Fu, I, Yang Fu, would rather die in battle than betray Your Majesty!" ”
Ma Chao frowned, and he didn't know how to persuade for a while.
Ma Yunlu glared at the stars and said angrily: "The surname Yang, since you don't know what to do, then I will give you a ride and let you accompany Liu Bei to the funeral." ”
Before the words fell, Ma Yunlu's slender arm shook, and the sword on his waist was unsheathed, and he was about to take Yang Fu's life.
Yang Fu was fearless, determined to die, and planned to fight with Ma Yunlu.
"Little sister, stop!" At the critical moment, Ma Chao shouted loudly and stopped Ma Yunlu.
Ma Yunlu's body was shocked, holding a long sword in his hand, but he didn't dare to do it without permission.
Ma Chao looked at Yang Fu with admiring eyes and sighed: "Yang Yishan, I, Ma Chao, respect your loyalty, since you are not willing to return to Emperor Wei with me, then I will not force you, I will ask Emperor Wei to let you leave the street pavilion safely." ”
Yang Fu's expression was shocked, and his face was originally solemn and angry, and a trace of surprise immediately appeared, as if he didn't expect Ma Chao to make such a move.
Ma Chao had already turned around and said to Ma Yunlu: "Little sister, you go back and tell Su Zhe that I, Ma Chao, can open the city and surrender, but I have a small request, hoping that he can let Yang Fu go." ”
"Big brother!" Ma Yunlu flattened his mouth, reluctantly.
Ma Chao said with a straight face: "Little sister, if you still treat me as your eldest brother, just do as I say, don't say anything more." ”
Ma Yunlu had no choice but to put the sword back into the sheath, glared at Yang Fu fiercely, and then strode away.
"Meng Qi, is there really no room for turnaround?"
Yang Fu's complicated eyes looked at Ma Chao, and there was no trace of anger and hostility in his tone, almost pleading.
Ma Chao's eyes were like iron, and he said coldly: "What my Ma Chao has decided, there has never been any possibility of repentance, Yang Yishan, you better go and clean up quickly and prepare to leave the city." ”
After that, Ma Chao didn't give him a chance to persuade him anymore, and strode away, leaving only Yang Fu alone, standing alone in the lobby, stunned.
After a long time, a helpless sigh sounded in the lobby.
……
Outside the city, Wei Ying.
In the imperial tent, Su Zhe was leisurely drinking wine, waiting for Ma Yunlu and their good news.
Ma Teng was nervous, looking out of the tent with a worried look.
"I said General Ma, it seems that you are very worried, what, are you afraid that your eldest son will not surrender?" Su Zhe asked with a smile.
Ma Teng was stunned for a moment, and sighed bitterly: "I really don't hide it from Your Majesty, this son of the minister has always been assertive, and he is in charge of the affairs of the Ma family, and the minister has not been in charge for a long time, and the minister is only afraid that he is too strong and refuses to surrender." ”
The voice fell, and the soldiers outside the tent came to report, claiming that Ma Yunlu had returned.
"The results are in." Su Zhe smiled and flicked the warrant to pass Ma Yunlu in.
After a while, a beautiful figure stepped into the big tent, and Ma Yunluxin stepped inside and bowed down to Su Zhe.
"Your Majesty, my eldest brother has been persuaded to surrender to the city."
As soon as these words came out, Ma Tengchang breathed a sigh of relief, and everyone present was happy.
Although Su Zhe had expected it, he couldn't help but be happy, so he smiled and said: "Okay, Ma Mengqi is really a handsome man who knows current affairs, very good!" ”
"However, my brother still has a small request, and I hope Your Majesty can grant it." Ma Yunlu suddenly changed his words.
"Say it." Su Zhe waved his hand.
Ma Yunlu said: "That's the case, then Yang Fu wants to be loyal to Liu Bei, and he doesn't want to surrender with his brother, and my brother thinks of his friendship with him, and wants to ask His Majesty for Yang Fu to intercede, hoping that Your Majesty can let Yang Fu go." ”
Deng Ai on the side hurriedly stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, this Yang Fu is resourceful, he has come up with the strategy of attacking Yongcheng and freezing the Street Pavilion, and letting him go is equivalent to letting go of a hidden danger." ”
Su Zhe smiled proudly: "Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi and Fa Zheng can't save Liu Bei's downfall, just one Yang Fu, I'm still afraid that he won't succeed, you tell your eldest brother, his request, I agreed." ”
Deng Ai's heart was shocked, and when he looked at Su Zhe's eyes, he couldn't help but show respect, he was impressed by Su Zhe's domineering spirit.
Ma Yunlu was overjoyed, thanked Su Zhe again and again, and immediately returned to Jieting City to return to Ma Chao.
After some back and forth "negotiations", at dusk, the gate of Jieting City was finally opened, and the flag was hung up.
Nearly 10,000 Han soldiers walked out of the four gates one after another, abandoned their weapons, and lined up outside the city, waiting for the Wei army to be absorbed.
Under Su Zhe's order, tens of thousands of Wei troops from each battalion were dispatched and entered Jieting City from the four gates to officially take over the defense.
Before dark, the battle flag of the Great Wei was fluttering high above the four gates of the Jieting City, announcing the conquest of the gateway to Liangzhou.
After the handover was completed, Ma Chao only brought a few horsemen with him, and then followed his younger brother Ma Tie and came to the camp in person.
In order to show his attention to Ma Chao, a general, Su Zhe made an exception this time and came to the camp gate to greet him in person.
Ma Chao rode his horse forward, and when he was five steps apart, Ma Tie pointed ahead and said: "Big brother, have you seen it, the one wearing the golden armor is the Son of Heaven, and the Son of Heaven will come to greet you in person, how respectful you must be." ”
Ma Chao's mood was gloomy because of surrender, and when he saw Su Zhe coming to greet him in person, a trace of surprise suddenly swelled up, and he was a lot more happy in his heart.
"Emperor Wei is really the Ming Jun of Corporal Lixian......"
Ma Chao was moved, immediately turned over and dismounted, strode forward, and bowed down on one knee in front of Su Zhema: "Surrender to Ma Chao, meet Your Majesty!" ”
Su Zhe jumped off the horse, stepped forward in a few steps, helped Ma Chao up, stroked his shoulders and said with a smile: "What is the surrender of ministers or not, from today on, there are only kings and ministers." ”
Ma Chao's heart was hot, and he was more and more moved, and said with shame: "The minister was deceived by Liu Bei at the beginning, and he went against His Majesty again and again, he is really ashamed, and I ask Your Majesty to forgive me." ”
Su Zhe waved his hand and said with a smile: "I don't remember those old things for a long time, and you don't have to remember Meng Qi in your heart, from now on, our monarchs and ministers will work together to sweep the world and share wealth and wealth!" ”
Listening to these words, Ma Chao was full of enthusiasm, and he was moved to the point that his eyes were almost moist.
In an excited mood, he bowed deeply to Su Zhe again, and sighed: "My horse is super confused for half a life, and today I finally have to meet the master!" Chao swears here, I will go to the soup for Your Majesty, and I will never give up! ”
"Good, good! It's enough to have you Ma Mengqi put this sentence. Su Zhe was overjoyed, and pulled Ma Chao's arm, "I have prepared a reception wine in the big tent, go, follow me back to the tent, let's drink them without getting drunk." ”
Ma Chao was completely relieved, and the pride in his heart spontaneously arose, and he couldn't help laughing out loud.
