Chapter 424: Unification of the North
Thank you for a monthly ticket voted by the beauty of Grape Lychee Wine!
Ma Teng's face was not very good-looking, after all, no matter who heard that the country he founded was about to perish, it was impossible to see where it was going.
If it was possible, Ma Teng didn't want to surrender, after all, the Han people's concept is that they would rather be the head of the chicken than the tail of the phoenix, and it is much better to be the head of a country than to be an official under others.
However, the reality is that if Ma Teng does not surrender, unless a miracle with a very small probability occurs, the final result will be the ruin of the country and the family, and there is no second way.
After comparing the 100,000 Wei army and the 10,000 Liang army together, Ma Teng sighed and finally made a decision, that is, surrender!
"Yunlu, go back and tell Wei Jun, just say that your father promised to surrender, I just hope that what Cao Cao said is true."
A surrender made Ma Teng suddenly become extremely vicissitudes, founded the Liang Kingdom with his own hands, and finally destroyed it with his own hands, the pain and struggle in it are not something that others can imagine.
At this moment, the three Ma Chao brothers and sisters in the hall looked at Ma Teng's suddenly old face and were silent, because they also didn't know what to say, because they had seen with their own eyes that Ma Teng was in high spirits when he founded Liangguo, and because he felt even more sad about Ma Teng who was old at this time.
The conversation between Ma Yunlu and Ma Teng and others when he entered the city seemed to be long, but in fact, the time it took was only an hour, and after an hour, the gate of Wuwei City opened again, and Ma Yunlu entered the city alone. Once again, he went out of the city alone, and at the same time brought with him the words that Ma Teng agreed to surrender.
Look at it. It seems that because Ma Teng's order to surrender arrived, Wuwei's door was not closed. The Liang soldiers on the city wall had complicated faces, but most of them still had a hint of joy and lightness.
Zhao Yun glanced at Ma Yunlu with complicated eyes, Ma Yunlu, who didn't look at him at all from beginning to end, sighed secretly, waved his hand, and prepared to lead the army into the city.
However, at this time, a fast horse galloped, and the sound of horses' hooves came from the direction of Wuwei, only to see a horse in military uniform. Holding a silver spear, he rushed directly to the front of the battle, and the war horse man stood up, and the blade in his hand pointed directly at Zhao Yun and said: "Zhao Zilong, my Ma Chao is a son of man, and I can't stop my father from surrendering, but in the same way, my Ma Chao, as a martial artist, can't accept myself either." Surrender without a fight, Zhao Zilong, if you are also a martial artist, then you will come out and fight to the death with my Ma Meng! ”
The sudden Ma Chao. Let everyone present be stunned, and Ma Teng hurried from the city wall, but he didn't have time to stop it. His face was pale and he looked at Ma Chao below with concern, and Ma Yunlu. Although he didn't say anything, he was worried for a moment. was still seen by Zhao Yun.
"General, don't care about him, seeing him come alone, it means that this is Ma Chao's doing, at this time, the army rushes up, captures him, and then enters the city, so as not to change!"
Ma Chao's challenge, in Zhang He's opinion, doesn't want to pay attention to it at all, at this time, Ma Chao's challenge is not agreed to and it doesn't matter, the most important thing is to accept Wuwei and destroy the Liangguo regime!
"Needless to say, since you led the army into the city, Ma Chao's challenge would have been agreed!"
After explaining Zhang He's sentence, Zhao Yun fought between him, Ma Chao wanted this time to vent the grievances and anger in his heart in the future, and he Zhao Yun also needed to use this fight to vent some of the negative emotions accumulated in his heart in the past few days.
Zhang He originally wanted to say more, but looking at Zhao Yun's obviously somewhat abnormal reaction, Zhang He could only give up the idea of stopping, and after ordering a team of cavalry to stay behind to protect Zhao Yun's safety, the rest of the army, under the leadership of Zhang He, bypassed the place where the two were and entered Wuwei City.
Under the leadership of Zhang He, the Wei army entered Wuwei in an orderly manner and took over Wuwei's city defense, while Zhao Yun and Ma Chao trembled together.
The battle between the two lasted for nearly thirty rounds, and finally Zhao Yun won, a hearty battle, the negative emotions in Zhao Yun's heart seemed to be vented with sweat and screaming, looking at Ma Chao, who was beaten by himself and fell off the war horse, Zhao Yun dismounted and came to him.
"Kill me!"
Ma Chao closed his eyes and was killed, Zhao Yun did not, but suddenly laughed and said: "You and Yunlu's temperament is quite similar, worthy of being brother and sister, I understand why you want to die, you think this failure is a shame, but I want to tell you, failure, shame is not terrible, the most terrible thing is to die as an excuse, such a death is to escape, but a coward, the real warrior, after encountering failure and shame, should wash away these failures and shame in the future, Instead of just keeping to death, and your father is still alive, how can you let him send a white-haired person to a black-haired person, isn't it unfilial piety to do this, I have said all this, if you still want to find death, I can satisfy you! ”
Ma Chao's face changed back and forth, I have to say that Zhao Yun, who is also a martial artist, obviously understands Ma Chao's thoughts at this time, and those words can be said to be the core, these words, the death that originally seemed very brave and fearless in Ma Chao's eyes has become the behavior of a coward and an unfilial son.
"Hmph, you make sense!"
Death because of cowardice and unfilial piety is obviously not something that Ma Chao can accept, and after saying a word unwillingly, Ma Chao took the hand handed over by Zhao Yun, stood up, followed Zhao Yun, and entered Wuwei City.
Just as soon as he was in the city, Ma Chao saw Ma Teng with an anxious and worried face, and suddenly felt embarrassed and ashamed in his heart, he only cared about himself, but he forgot his father Ma Teng, at this moment, Ma Chao suddenly felt that his previous self was indeed a little too naïve.
After Ma Teng surrendered, only the Qin State was still in the stubborn resistance of the Western Liang Land, and this stubborn resistance did not last long, in the convergence of Zhao Yun and Xu Huang, finally in the middle of September of the first year of Hongwu of the Great Wei Dynasty, Tianshui was broken and the Qin regime was destroyed.
Guo Yan, Li Ru and a large number of important ministers of the Qin State, as well as the remnants of Dong Zhuo in the past, were ordered to be executed by Cao Cao, after all, compared to Ma Teng, who was once a front, Guo Yan and them have always been enemies, and Cao Cao did not hesitate to issue a killing order for them.
Ma Teng surrendered, Guo Yan was destroyed, the Wei army launched the campaign to destroy the country, so far can be declared over, the time of this battle, before and after the last three months lasted only a short three months, within three months, the Liang State and the Qin State were destroyed one after another, the scope of Wei rule, but also expanded to the West Liang land, the north to achieve a real sense of unification.
