Ma Chao was slightly disappointed, but this matter was not easy to force, and he praised at the moment: "Sure enough, he is worthy of being a good man in Xiliang, even if this is the case, he will be a complete wait!" You can choose 20,000 elite soldiers, and the rest must be handed over to the general, who can guarantee that the crimes committed by these people will not be prosecuted, and those who are willing to serve in the army can continue to serve under the command of the general and enjoy the same treatment. Those who do not want to take off their military status as civilians can also be divided into civilian land, and the land will be allocated to them to cultivate! ”

Li Dao said: "Champion Hou is merciful, the soldiers under our command are all soldiers of a hundred battles, and they are by no means comparable to those rabble under the command of the Kwantung princes, and I hope that the champion Hou will treat him kindly!" ”

"Well said! Say! Ma Chao said: "In this case, let's hand over the Son of Heaven first!" Ben will always walk the talk, but three months later it will be the season when the sea is calm, and you need to prepare in advance! As for your family, I will send someone to Rongyang before I say it! ”

Li Ru said: "As the champion Hou, he disdains to deceive us and others, and the Son of Heaven and others will then hand it over to the general!" But what should the ministers do? ”

Ma Chao frowned and said, "Tell me who they are?" Wait for Ben to think about it before making a decision! ”

As soon as Li Ruluo pondered, he told the main characters again. Ma Chao couldn't help but feel embarrassed when he heard this, these ministers were basically party members promoted by Dong Zhuo, although they were rotten, most of them were loyal to the Han Dynasty, and they would only cause trouble if they stayed. But if you borrow Li Ru's hand to kill them all, it doesn't feel appropriate, after all, the court without a minister can't do it, even if it's just a spectacle. The most important thing is that there are still a few big talents among these people who have been coveted by Ma Chao for a long time!

The first is Xun Yu, although Xun Yu is Xun Yu's nephew, he is six years older than Xun Yu, and he was recruited by He Jin as early as the outbreak of the Yellow Turban and served as the Yellow Gate Attendant. Ma Chaofa has also met a few times, but the Huangmen squire is just a petty official, and the two know each other, but they have never spoken.

When Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, Xun You conspired with Xun Shuang, He Hao, Zheng Tai, Chong Ji, Wu Qiong and others to assassinate Dong Zhuo, and finally the matter was leaked, Zheng Tai fled, Xun Shuang died of illness, and Xun You and He Hao were imprisoned. Among them, the saddest is Wu Qiong, Wu Qiong and Zhou Yu recommended a large number of talents for Dong Zhuo, including Han Fu, Liu Dai, Kong Ling, Zhang Zhi, Zhang Miao and others. Dong Zhuo made these people governors of prefectures and counties, but later most of these people participated in the campaign against Dong Zhuo, and Dong Zhuo believed that Zhou and Wu were colluding with them, so he killed them.

Although Xun You was imprisoned, he had been safe, eating and drinking, talking and laughing freely, Dong Zhuo almost forgot about this person, and He Hao was afraid of being tortured and committed suicide. Later, Dong Zhuo was removed by Wang Yun, and Xun You was also released and reinstated, but he didn't think that he would be led by Li Ru to break through the city in less than a few days, and he became a prisoner again. In history, Xun You also became Cao Ying's military division after Cao Ying welcomed Liu Xie into Xu Capital.

Xun Yu's talent is no worse than Xun Yu, and even surpasses it, such as offering a strange plan to flood Picheng and capture Lu Bu alive. In the battle of Guandu, Xun Yu offered a plan to attack the east and west, killing Yan Liang and Wen Chou. He also planned strange soldiers, sent Xu Huang to burn Yuan Shao's grain and grass, and at the same time urged Cao Ying to accept Xu You, draw a black nest, and make great contributions. During the pacification of Hebei, Xun Youli overrode public opinion, advocating that Cao Ying eliminate the sons of Yuan Shao, and was named the Marquis of Lingshu Pavilion by Cao Ying's court. Xun You acted carefully and low-key, full of scheming, and was known as Cao Ying's "mastermind!" But this person is not as loyal to the Han family as Xun Yu, and he is definitely useful!

In addition to Xun You, there is also Zhong Xuan, Zhong Xuan came out of power during He Jin's reign, and served as a scholar. In history, Zhong Xuan and Shang Shulang Han Bin discussed with Shang Shulang to save the emperor from Chang'an, and then returned to Cao Ying. Zhong Xuan's achievements in calligraphy are extremely high, and the Zhong of "Zhong Wang" refers to Zhong Xuan, and he is meticulous and talented, and has made great contributions to Cao Ying's unification of the north.

In addition, there are also the nephews of the Empress Dowager Dong, Dong Cheng, Hua Xin, Zhao Yan, Fu Wan, Han Bin, Xi Xi and other people who have left their names in history.

The two agreed on some details before the battle, and about an hour later, a team of people slowly walked out of Rongyang City, and it was Liu Xie sitting in the carriage at the front. Liu Xie was just eleven years old at this time, but after being bullied by Dong Zhuo and Li Ru, his mind was quite mature, and he didn't know that his role as a puppet had just begun. And there are not many ministers around Liu Xie, only more than 20.

When he returned to the big tent of the Chinese army, Ma Chao immediately dismounted and came to the front of the car to bow and salute, and said respectfully: "The minister Ma Chao has seen Your Majesty, and King Qin is late, which makes Your Majesty frightened." ”

Liu Xie opened the curtain, and when he saw that it was Ma Chao, he couldn't help but have mixed feelings, and said urgently: "You don't have to be polite, I have been bullied by the ministers since I ascended the throne, and I have recently become a prisoner of the order. ”

Ma Chao felt ashamed for a while, and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, although rest assured, the ministers have millions of heroes in their hands, and Liu Yan of Yizhou vainly proclaims himself the emperor, which is like a rebellion, and he will send troops to fight for it sooner or later!" ”

Liu Xie nodded, his expression was extremely complicated, he had heard of Ma Chao's bad words, and he had already begun to suspect that Ma Chao had ulterior motives, but now he could only rely on Ma Chao. He immediately said: "I heard that my grandmother, the Empress Dowager Yongle, was not killed, and she is in Yecheng at the moment, is this really true?" ”

Ma Chao said: "Naturally, take it seriously! The minister has sent someone to Yecheng to welcome the Empress Dowager Dong back to the palace, and His Majesty can meet him without saying anything! ”

Liu Xie was overjoyed, he was raised by his grandmother since he was a child, and his feelings were not ordinarily deep, and he couldn't help but be ecstatic after confirming the news at this moment, and said loudly: "The champion Hou Qinwang has merit, and there is also the edict of the first emperor, I can crown you as a general, rank ten thousand stones, and enjoy the privilege of 'praising and worshipping the nameless, entering the dynasty and not trending, and going to the palace with a sword'." At the same time, the secret edict of the first emperor should also be announced to the world, otherwise my throne will also be a little incorrect and unsatisfactory! ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty! After returning to the palace, the minister set out to work on this matter! ”

All the officials also gathered around to thank him, and kept praising Ma Chao's merits. After a while, Liu Xie asked again: "I don't know what the general plans to do with these remnants of Dong thieves?" ”

Ma Chao said: "Li Ru, Li Dao, Guo Yan and others are deeply guilty, and it is difficult to atone for their sins according to the law, but God has the virtue of a good life, and Your Majesty should have a generous and merciful heart. If only the evil is punished, his subordinates will surely gather a crowd to cause rebellion and kill the people! Therefore, Ben wanted to banish this crowd and leave them to fend for themselves! ”

Liu Xie thought for a while and said, "Just according to what the general said!" I am still young, and it is inevitable that there will be some unclear things in trouble, but fortunately, with the help of the general, I can rest assured. ”

Ma Chao didn't even dare to shout, knowing that Liu Xie was not willing to be a puppet, but he didn't care, now the palace is served by the 5,000 Shenwei Battalion as the Yulin Army, including the palace maids and miscellaneous servants have been changed by him, and Liu Xie's every move can't escape his eyes and ears at all. In addition, troublemakers like Fu Wan and Dong Cheng must all be brought to the place, and they must not be allowed to become Liu Xie's father-in-law. (To be continued.) )
