Here today, Ma Chao felt that he had finished saying everything, so he gestured to Guan Hai with his eyes, Guan Hai immediately understood, so he came out and said to the cottage people: "Okay, the lord has explained all the intentions today, and after thinking about it for a day, I will give the lord an answer here tomorrow!" Okay, let's disperse! ”

After listening to the words of their big boss, the cottage people left in an orderly manner. And after everyone left, Ma Chao and the others also returned to the conference hall.

As soon as he returned to the hall, Cui An couldn't help but say, "Lord, do you still need to let them think about dealing with those people?" With a wave of my halberd, I will ensure that no one will dare not listen! ”

Ma Chaoxin said Aren't you looking for trouble, and with a wave of the halberd, you can still kill 100,000 people or what. Not everything can or must be solved by force, and now, Cui An, this kid, still uses force to solve things, and Ma Chao has to worry about him.

In fact, Ma Chao is okay here, but Guan Hai's face turned black after listening to Cui An's words, but fortunately, he also knows Cui An's temper and character, or he would have taken a knife and went to fight him alone. But that's it, Guan Hai couldn't do it, and said to Cui An: "Fuda, how can you say that? What the lord does, I just approve with both hands! ”

When Cui An heard this, he smiled and said, "Hey, those people weren't brought out by your old manager!" ”

Ma Chao glared, "Don't say it, whoever says this again will give me a trip, and today's meal is gone!" ”

Sure enough, this is very good, and he has a good face, if he is really rectified by his own lord, he will lose his adult in front of the whole cottage people. As for Cui An, it's not just a matter of losing face, he absolutely can't bear to have nothing to eat. So when the two heard this, they immediately fell silent.

Ma Chao saw that the two of them stopped talking, and he said: "What's the matter, I don't speak, didn't you just say it quite happily?" ”

As a result, the two remained silent, so he continued: "I tell you, that's what I mean, let everyone think about it for one more day before making a decision!" Although I have provided a lot of materials for the cottage, the vast majority of the cottage people have never seen me, so it is not incomprehensible that they are like this. And these old people have done a good job for you, and the cottage has such a situation today, which is inseparable from you, and the others have nothing to do with you. Speaking of which, in fact, this is to blame me, I haven't been here since I left the cottage, so it's normal to have any results, okay, don't say more, that's all! ”

It is impossible for everyone in the cottage to follow him, this Ma Chao has long known the Tao, and he doesn't want to let his subordinates have any contradictions because of this little thing, although contradictions are everywhere, but his subordinates can be harmonious or try to be as harmonious as possible. As the saying goes, "home and everything is prosperous", and I am considered a big family here, so the reason is the same.

Among the people, especially Guan Hai and a few of them in the cottage, because of their lord's understanding, they were moved and grateful at this time. I feel that the efforts of myself and others over the years have not been in vain, and the lord not only sees it, but also understands it, and as a subordinate, I really feel comforted in my heart.

On the second day, in the same place, the cottage people gathered together again, today is the day when their lord asked them to make a choice, follow their lord, then go to another road, no longer be a bandit, but it is more dangerous than being a bandit. If you don't follow your own lord, then your lord will not be a lord in the future, and you will go your own way.

Ma Chao said loudly: "Brothers, today is the day when you make a decision, if you choose to continue to follow me Ma, please stand on my left hand, otherwise, stand on the right side!" But no matter how you choose, I thank you all here! ”

As soon as Ma Chao's words fell, everyone in the cottage began to make a choice, on the left and right sides, the most obvious is clear. Everyone thought about it for a day, and of course the results were already available immediately. And the most embarrassing result is that Ma Chao glanced at it a few times with his eyes, it should be about half and half, and it was indeed in his own expectations.

In fact, many of those who choose to follow Ma Chao have no relatives, as for those who have families, some are because they are repaid, some want to follow Ma to get ahead, and some really like to fight on the battlefield......

As for those who don't follow Ma Chao, there are even more reasons. The homeland is difficult to leave, the relatives are in Qingzhou, and there are people who don't want to be soldiers, it's too dangerous, and there are people who yearn for freedom, and how can they still be free when they become soldiers, wait, there are many reasons, anyway, people who don't want to continue to follow Ma Chao, they can naturally find out all kinds of reasons.

Jia Xu looked at the people on both sides, and he thought to himself, if his lord was not such a person, and could use his own methods, then the number of people who took refuge in him would definitely be about 20,000 more than now. 20,000 people, that's a big help in this troubled time. However, Jia Xu didn't feel pity at all, because he knew that Ma Chao was such a person, so he didn't even say anything. And he feels that his lord is not bad at all, everything has advantages and disadvantages, there are no exceptions, it depends on how you look at it.

Ma Chao waited for Guan Hai's subordinates to count the number of people in the last place, and after the results came out, Ma Chao was quite satisfied, and there was not much difference from what he expected. The result of the final statistics is that there are more than 51,000 people in the cottage who are willing to go with him, which is more than half of the total. He originally thought that there would be nearly half, that is, nearly 50,000 people, but the final result was more than expected.

Ma Chao was in a good mood at this time, and returned to the meeting hall with everyone, and after sitting down, he said to Guan Hai and the others: "Everything will be handled by you, and all the aftermath will be arranged in these days, and then we should leave here!" ”

Guan Hai and the others nodded, they all understood, because their lord had told them before. Those who were not going to follow gave them all the belongings of the cottage and let them leave here. And the people who continue to follow, those who have families, Ma Chao's meaning, the most important thing is to take their families to Longxian, of course, most of them will go back together, and the rest will naturally follow Ma Chao.

This was Ma Chao's idea, and everyone else agreed. Of course, Ma Chao doesn't want anyone who doesn't follow him to be a thief, Guan Hai has no choice but to do it, and if they don't have the restraint of Guan Hai, who knows if Lu Dao will deteriorate. So Ma Chao means that before leaving the cottage, he still set fire to the mountain, if after the burning, they still have people here to occupy the mountain as the king, then it is not up to him. And Ma Chao felt that he had done what he could, and that's it.

The others were also in favor of their lord's proposal, and no one objected to anything. Although they are very reluctant to give up the cottage, there is no way, the mountain must be burned, and they must leave to follow their lord. Whether it is Guan Hai, Zang Ba, or Wei Ping and Liao Hua, although they all have great ambitions, they are indeed not bound by a copycat. Even if there are nearly 100,000 people in this cottage, that won't work. Even if it is millions of people, it is still a cottage, but the essence has not changed.

But the lord who follows him is different, who is his lord, that is the Liangzhou pastor of the Han Dynasty, the official of the feudal territory, and follows him to fight on the battlefield, and the next few people are at least a general, if it is bigger, it may be...... Anyway, the future is immeasurable, and it is not comparable to a small cottage at all, or it should be said that it cannot be compared at all.

As a result, after Ma Chao's instructions were finished, Guan Hai and the others went to their own places, and of course, as well as their subordinates, they all did their own responsibilities, and in this way, they were busy for several days.

Ten days later, the cottage Tanmalay newspaper, "Report to the lord, Cao Cao Cao Mengde is in Chen Liuchuan to discuss Dong Zhuo!" I've heard that a lot of people are already on the way to the alliance! ”

"Good! Revisit! ”

"No!"

Ma Chao said in his heart after hearing this, Cao Cao finally sent an edict to the princes of the alliance to discuss Dong Zhuo, and it is estimated that the people in Longxian County should also know the Dao, but who can know that the Dao is now in Qingzhou. It seems that the time has come, and it is time for him to take the people of the cottage to meet Dong Zhuo for a while, as well as the princes of the world.

A day later, Guan Hai and they had already taken care of everything in the cottage. The rest of the materials, in addition to the grain and grass, were also divided, and the rest of Ma Chao asked Guan Hai to bring them back to Longxian. And Ma Chao set fire to the cottage, although Guan Hai and they were a little distressed, but they also knew that Lu Dao had to do this. After walking out of the cottage, it means that he and others are no longer bandits, and it is time to say goodbye to history.

In the end, Ma Chao took away 20,000 people in the cottage, which was too much, and Guan Hai and Zang Ba took away the rest of the people and their families, and they returned to Longxian together. Although Ma Chao felt unsafe, he sent Zang Ba to Guan Hai, and Ma Chao felt that with Zang Ba here, there was no problem with ordinary things. Although Zang Ba is still a little reluctant, he also knows that this is the heavy responsibility given to him by the main bus, and there is no room for failure.

After all the arrangements were made, Ma Chao and Guan Hai parted ways, in fact, they could take one way, but Ma Chao felt that such a goal was too big, and he also believed that Zang Ba could solve the problems encountered, and more importantly, the princes would join the alliance to jointly defeat Dong Zhuo, so Guan Hai They had to avoid the first line of Luoyang, and take a long detour to return to Longxian. And Ma Chao didn't have this to take care of, he wished he met a few more princes, or he could go directly to Cao Cao.
