After a night of thinking, Yang Qiu finally chose to surrender to Ma Chao, and Ma Chao surrendered Yang Qiu and Cheng Yi, the two generals, naturally he was overjoyed and happy.

A few days later, news came from Wuwei that Pang De and Ma Dai had beheaded the candidate, surrendered the candidate's subordinates, and the candidate's family was all executed.

In the following period of time, various counties and counties in Liangzhou tore off Han Sui's military flag and hung Ma Chao's military flag, and the bright and bright "horse" military flag fluttered over the entire Liangzhou almost overnight.

Han Sui died, and his subordinates also died, surrendered, and in exchange for a new overlord - Ma Chao!

Ma Chao became the lord of Liangzhou in one fell swoop, although he did not receive an official appointment from the imperial court, but who else could there be in actual power?

In the eyes of the Qiang people, Ma Chao is the "invincible general", in the eyes of the Han people, he is the invincible "Jin Ma Chao", a new banner fluttering in the sky of Liangzhou, Ma Chao has become the first person in Liangzhou.

However, Ma Chao was not proud of this, he deeply understood how Han Sui bullied the weak when he was strong, and how he Ma survived in the cracks. Therefore, even if Ma Chao once gained power, he did not show a bullying posture, but was still the same as before, approachable, and regarded the people around him as his brothers.

It is precisely because of Ma Chao's way of dealing with people that he quickly won the praise of the people of Liangzhou, and he gained a lot.

In addition to this, Ma Chao after the victory in the war. Hanyang-gun was changed to Cheonsu-gun. Yang Qiu was directly appointed as the Taishou of Tianshui County. Pang De is the stability of the Taishou, let Cheng Yi be the commander of the Shang, Ma Dai is the general of the break, Ma Gang is still the stability of the Taishou, and Ma Gang's three sons are all appointed as county commanders.

Immediately afterwards, Ma Chaoyan felt that there were no available talents under his command, so he posted a talent search order in Liangzhou. The notice was posted all over Liangzhou.

On the third day after the notice was posted, a man claiming to be Yang Fu came to Wangyuan County, where Ma Chao was temporarily.

Wangyuan County is in the lower reaches of Ji County, less than sixty miles away from Jicheng, Jicheng has become a ruin, Ma Chao stationed troops in Wangyuan County, and gave orders to Liangzhou.

Yang Fu, Ziyi Mountain, Tianshui County, Ji County. It was originally engaged in Wei Duan, the assassin of Liangzhou, and Wei Duan was later recruited by the imperial court. Entering the court as a servant, the court took Wei Duan's son Wei Kang as the assassin of Liangzhou. to take over from Wei Duan.

After Wei Kang served as the assassin of Liangzhou, he let Yang Fu be a different driver, he loved the people like a son, worked hard, and wanted to make a big difference in Liangzhou, but because of the punishment of a bully and angered the warlord Han Sui in the army Yuzhong, Han Sui was angry, and led the army to attack Jicheng, although Wei Kang was talented, but he would not command the army, and Han Sui's soldiers were strong and strong, Wei Kang could not resist at all, and the city was breached.

After Han Sui entered the city, he arrested all the Wei Kang family and beheaded them, and he himself occupied Jicheng, called himself Liangzhou Mu, and appointed his subordinates Ai General Taishou to attack the state and county, and there was no doubt about rebellion.

At that time, Yang Fu was ordered by Wei Kang to send an envoy to Chang'an, where the Son of Heaven was located, to see Li Dao and Guo Yan who had seized Chang'an, who knew that after returning to Liangzhou, he learned that Wei Kang was killed by Han Sui, and hated Han Sui very much, so he wanted to kill Han Sui and avenge Wei Kang.

But Han Sui's soldiers were strong and strong, and it was in the heyday of the period, even Li Dao and Guo Yan couldn't help Han Sui, and Yang Fu naturally couldn't take revenge, so he hid incognito, hid in Liangzhou, and waited for an opportunity.

Ma Chao killed Han Sui, and the news quickly reached Yang Fu's ears, but in Yang Fu's eyes, Ma Chao was no different from Han Sui. But with his later observation of what Ma Chao did, he felt that Ma Chao and Han Sui were not all the way, and he received a talent search order, and saw Ma Chao's thirst for talent in the talent search order, so he decided to meet the person who killed Han Sui.

In the hall of Wangyuan County, when the soldier reported Yang Fu's name, Ma Chao was stunned for a moment, then made up a happy smile, and said, "Invite Mr. Yang in." ”

Yang Fu's reputation is also quite prestigious among the Liangzhou scholars, and Ma Chao has naturally heard Yang Fu's name. It's just that after Han Sui killed Wei Kang, Yang Fu never appeared again, some people say that Yang Fu died in the chaos, some people say that Yang Fu moved away, anyway, there are different opinions, and they don't know where Yang Fu went.

At this time, Yang Fu suddenly appeared and visited Ma Chao in person, which made Ma Chao feel a little flattered, and finally decided to greet Yang Fu in person.

Yang Fu was waiting outside the door of the county office, he was very worried, he was just hearsay, and he had never seen Ma Chao, what kind of person Ma Chao was, he didn't know.

The reason why he decided to come to see Ma Chao was nothing more than to thank Ma Chao in person for killing Han Sui, because Han Sui was an enemy to him. Yang Fu is a person who knows how to repay his kindness, Wei Kang's father Wei Duan has the grace of knowing him, and then Wei Kang also promoted him, and he has not been able to repay Wei father and son for this kindness. However, Wei Kang died tragically in the hands of Han Sui, a treacherous villain, which made Yang Fu hate Han Sui.

Now that someone has avenged him, he naturally wants to thank him.

Yang Fu was wearing a long robe, standing quietly outside the county office, and after a while, he saw a young man striding out of the government office wearing a strong suit, the person had a handsome face, a flying expression, and a majestic spirit.

"Dare to ask Your Excellency, is it Mr. Yang Fu Yang Yishan?" Ma Chao walked straight in front of Yang Fu and bowed respectfully.

Yang Fu nodded and said, "It's Yang, I don't know if Your Excellency is ......."

"I'm Ma Chao......"

As soon as Ma Chao's words blurted out, Yang Fu was taken aback, and after taking a good look at Ma Chao, he couldn't help but feel that Ma Chao was really a talent, and the name of Jin Ma Chao was indeed worthy of his reputation.

Yang Fu was thirty-five or sixteen years old, and immediately clasped his fists and said: "It turned out to be the famous General Ma, Yang was disrespectful and disrespectful!" ”

"Mr. Yang, don't say that, Mr. Yang is the famous person, and my Ma Chao is just a vulgar person, just a brave man. How can it be regarded as a famous name? Ma Chao said politely.

The two of them exchanged pleasantries. Ma Chao invited Yang Fu into the county office. He had already ordered his subordinates to put on a banquet. The two sat down as guests, Ma Chao raised the wine glass full of wine, and said to Yang Fu: "Mr. Yang, Ma Chao can see Mr. Yang today, and it is not in vain to live this life, I will invite Mr. Yang for a glass." ”

As soon as the words fell, Ma Chao drank it all, and Yang Fu saw this. is also more bold, tilting his neck, and drinking the full glass of spirits in his stomach.

Seeing this, Ma Chao laughed and said: "Mr. Yang is really a bold person, thinking of me in Liangzhou, it is really extremely rare to have a person like Mr. Yang who is both civil and military." Now that Meng is in charge of Liangzhou, there is a shortage of talents like Mr. Yang, I don't know if Mr. Yang is willing to serve me, and we will work together. Jointly create Liangzhou into a heavenly kingdom on earth? ”

Yang Fu said: "Yang is a shallow learner, but I'm afraid that I can't do it." A piece of kindness from General Ma. Yang got it. To tell the truth, Yang came this time to thank General Ma. ”

"Thank me?" Ma Chao said curiously, "This is strange, Mr. Yang and I met for the first time today, why did Mr. Yang thank me as soon as we met?" ”

"I can't hide it, Han Sui is my enemy, and General Ma happened to kill Han Sui, which is equivalent to helping me take revenge, and Yang is naturally grateful." Yang Fu Road.

Ma Chao asked: "Mr. Yang and Han Sui have a grudge?" ”

Yang Fu saw that Ma Chao was very curious, so he told Ma Chao the ins and outs of the matter, and after Ma Chao heard it, he respected Yang Fu's affection even more, and he couldn't wait to leave Yang Fu immediately.

However, Ma Chao knew that he couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry, and he was a vulgar martial artist, Yang Fu was born in the Shi clan, and the Shi clan had always looked down on martial artists, and he didn't know if Yang Fu would be willing to condescend to himself and do things for himself.

After that, Ma Chao and Yang Fu just chatted, and did not involve serious business, until the end of the banquet, Ma Chao never mentioned the matter of letting Yang Fu do things under him, in his opinion, if he was good enough, Yang Fu would definitely take the initiative to come. If he has not reached the level of Cheng Dù who asked Yang Fu to take the initiative to follow, even if he forcibly keeps Yang Fu by his side, not only will he not get Yang Fu's help, but he will also make Yang Fu hate himself.

After the banquet was over, Ma Chao personally sent Yang Fu out of the house, and after Yang Fu left, Ma Chao sent someone to secretly follow Yang Fu to see where Yang Fu lived, so that he could go to Yang Fu to talk to him in the future. I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, so I can only take it one step at a time.

As soon as Ma Chao sent Yang Fu away, someone rushed over there to tell Ma Chao, saying that there was an accident in the barracks, and Han Sui's subordinates, who had surrendered, gathered to make trouble under the leadership of a military commander, and injured Jun Sima, and now Ma Jiajun is in a stalemate with Wang Shuang and others, fighting in the barracks, and several people have died.

As soon as Ma Chao heard this, he immediately frowned, he didn't say a word, he immediately asked someone to bring the horses, jumped on the horse, rode away, and headed towards the barracks.

The barracks is located in the northeast corner of Wangyuan County, when Ma Chao rode his horse to the barracks, the barracks was already in chaos, the sound was noisy, the sound of fighting was endless, and from time to time there were a few screams.

When Ma Chao entered the barracks, he saw that the barracks were in a mess, with a few words on the ground about the corpses of Ma Jiajun, and a burly, sturdy man was holding a saber and fighting hard, and behind the man, there were more than ten corpses of soldiers.

Suddenly, the man shouted violently, and slashed with a knife, and the sharp blade directly slashed through the wrists of the ten Ma Jiajun soldiers who were fighting him, and the ten Ma Jiajun shouted at the same time, and there was a blood-red cut on their wrists, and all the weapons in their hands fell to the ground.

When Ma Chao saw such a scene, he was stunned for a moment, he never expected that this person would have such ability, and he could hurt the wrists of those ten soldiers with one enemy and ten at a disadvantage. And Ma Chao can also see that that person doesn't seem to be using all his strength, and there is still a situation where Zài's subordinates are merciful. For Ma Chao, who is short of talents, this person's martial arts can be ranked with Pang De, and he is a fierce general! (To be continued......)
