Horses' hooves sounded, and flags fell.

The Yuanzi military flag fluttering at the head of Jinyang City slowly fell with the wind.

It seems to announce the end of an era.

Ma Qiang rode into Jinyang City under the escort of the sergeant, Xu You had been waiting on the side for a long time, and when he saw Ma Qiang coming in, he wanted to step forward, but was stopped outside by the guards.

"Mr. Xu, let him come over!"

Although Ma Qiang doesn't like Xu You, he still has to get by in the face of meritorious officials.

"Ming Gong! Yuan Shang, Guo Tu, and Xin Ping are all dead, and now Jinyang City is in the hands of our army! ”

"Mr. Xu has made a great contribution to the pacification and annexation of the state this time, please come with me into the city."

Xu You's face was a little red with excitement, and hurriedly followed Ma Qiang into the city together, Ma Qiang looked at the Yuan Tan brothers who were pressed aside and a cadre of civil and military forces, and sighed, "I trust you two brothers, give you soldiers, horses, food and grass, in order to make the state stable, so that the people suffer less, why are you brothers against each other, in the same room, so that the corpses are everywhere, the people are displaced, if it is not for Mr. Xu who can't bear to live and persuade me to come here to mediate, I don't know how many people will die in the war, you can be convicted?" ”

Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi are angry in their hearts, you let Xu Yu sow discord and harm our brothers to kill each other, but now they are asking about us.

also mediated, mediated, and changed the surname of the state!

Still shameless?

But no matter how angry they were, the two didn't dare to say it directly, they just confessed.

"Since you know the crime, you should be punished, for your own selfishness, you set up a sword and kill your brother, it is a great crime, someone persuaded me to send you two to Ben Chu, let Ben Chu punish you, what do you think?"

Send it to our Lao Tzu?

Isn't that going to kill us?

When they were in Huguan, these two people faced Ma Qiang, and they both had the consciousness of waiting to be killed, but after being released once, it was difficult to have such an awareness again.

Escaping death is such a thing, some people feel that they can earn by living an extra day, and some people will never want to experience the horror of death again, and this kind of psychological change varies from person to person.

Yuan Xi's eyes rolled, and he shouted loudly, "Xianfu disobeyed the general's order, rebelled against the imperial court, and although he is a brother with us, this is a state affair, and we dare not show favoritism, so we raise troops, this is a rebellion, not a rebellion!" ”

Ma Qiang smiled, "So, are you loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty?" ”

"Naturally, he is a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty!"

"Since it is for the sake of the country's righteousness, this matter is over!"

Yuan Tan and Yuan Xichang let out a long breath, as long as they don't die, they still have a chance.

Of course, Ma Qiang didn't kill them because of his good heart, but because under the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family, the world doesn't know how many people inherit the favor of his clan, it is easy to kill two people, but it is difficult to collect people's hearts.

Unlike many people in later generations who thought that most of Yuan's subordinates were Erwuzai, the loyal Yuan's civil and military heroes were enough to make a long list, otherwise Cao Cao would not have to spend more than five years to pacify Hebei after Yuan Shao's death.

Of course, Ma Qiang will not let those loyal to the Yuan clan have a chance to recover.

"Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi listen to orders!"

The two hurriedly bowed to the ground in submission.

"Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi, although they are for state affairs and destroy their relatives in righteousness, but during the period of filial piety, regardless of their brothers, they raise swords and soldiers, and they are not in harmony with etiquette, I will be the Son of Heaven, deprive the two of you of their official titles and titles, and send them to Xiwuhuan to serve for five years, and you will be allowed to come back after five years.

Service?

Although the two were worried that Ma Qiang was preparing to kill with a soft knife, they refused now, which was to force Ma Qiang to kill with a real knife.

Besides, five years is nothing for the two who are still young, and when they come back, they will be good again!

Ma Qiang looked at the two who confessed and nodded slightly.

Of course, he didn't believe that these two would be convinced, he just wanted a reason not to let the state Haoqiang attack.

Bingzhou and Jizhou are different, the current Bingzhou is less people and more alien races, the Huns have almost encroached on a small half of the land in Bingzhou, and Haoqiang, who has lived here for hundreds of years, is the best person to guard these lands, after all, this is their home.

Therefore, Ma Qiang was not ready to defeat all the Haoqiang clans in Bingzhou with a stick, but was ready to cut the flesh with a soft knife and slowly suppress the Shi clan economically and politically.

And sending these two people to Wuhuan can ensure that the old Yuan family and these two people are cut off to the greatest extent, and secondly, they can also let the two live or die or return or escape at a critical moment.

After dealing with the two of them, Ma Qiang looked at the other civil and military officers, saw that some of them had warm eyes, and some were depressed, knowing that many people were still unwilling, he waved his hand and said, "The others will be detained first, and we will talk about it after careful examination." ”

"No!"

Ma Qiang came to the Cheqi General's Mansion under the leadership of Xu You, Yuan Shao and even the families of Yuan Tan and others were among them, Ma Qiang looked at the General's Mansion guarded by the sergeant, and knew that this was Zhao Yun's doing, so he couldn't help but nod to Zhao Yun.

Unless it is a great personal vendetta, it is the unspoken rule that the princes compete for hegemony and are not as small as the family.

After all, no one dares to say that they can have the last laugh.

Even Yuan Shu, who was the emperor, was still alive and well under the Sun family after his defeat.

Ma Qiang didn't break in, but dismounted and knocked on the door to show respect, and then he heard a flustered sound inside, and couldn't help laughing.

After a long time, the door was opened, and a woman in mourning clothes walked out with a child, and bowed to Ma Qiang, "The slut Liu has seen the general!" ”

Mrs. Liu? Is this person who gave his daughter-in-law who served him to Cao Pi in exchange for his own life in history?

In the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms, there are not many women who have left their names, and Ma Qiang couldn't help but look at the woman in front of him carefully.

Mrs. Liu felt Ma Qiang's gaze, and straightened her chest with red eyes, Ma Qiang only felt that there was a white wave in front of him.

Not to mention, it's really expected.

It's a pity, if this is Boss Cao, it is inevitable to comfort Mrs. Liu, Yuan Shao has been away from home for so long, and it is hard to come to this Mrs. Liu.

Wait, speaking of which, after Boss Cao went to Yecheng to cry Yuan Shao in history, it seems that he did comfort this Mrs. Liu....

"Who is this?" Ma Qiang retracted his thoughts and looked at the little boy who was looking at him curiously.

"This is Yuan Che riding his youngest son Yuan Mai."

Ma Qiang looked at Liu, his eyes full of sneers.

This is preparing to throw the youngest son out to separate himself from the Yuan family.

This woman is really ruthless.

"Yuan Shang is dead, Yuan Tan has succeeded him in the room, Yuan Xi has a loss of humanity, I think this son just inherits the mantle of Yuan Cheqi!

I don't think you can teach him anything here, let him go to Guangzong, there is the best teacher there, and he can become the pillar of my Han in the future! ”

Mrs. Liu was immediately overjoyed, Ma Qiang was not even ready to kill Yuan Shao's young son, and naturally he would not kill himself.
