But he said that Liu Bei's kung fu in escaping was really not fake, he knew that Ma Chao had tens of thousands of cavalry, and it was easy to chase and kill these infantry troops under his command. Therefore, Liu Bei gave up most of his baggage and only brought some soft things such as gold and silver.

Not long after nearly 100,000 people left the city, Liu Bei asked Guan Yu to cooperate with Jian Yong and Sun Qian to stay behind, but in fact, this was only in name. In fact, it is to hide people's eyes and ears, and the sound is to attack the west. Guan Yu had already taken Liu Bei's men and horses to flee to Yanzhou.

Liu Bei took his fiancé and the miscellaneous soldiers who stayed behind to continue to rush to Yangzhou with the people, and did not forget to incite the hatred of the people of Xiaopei along the way. As soon as it was dark, Liu Bei didn't even care about Gan Qian and Tai Shici, and took advantage of the night to sneak towards Guan Yu and chase after him. By the time Ma Chao led the army to kill, Liu Bei had already completed the golden cicada's shelling, and took his family to Yanzhou to defect to Cao **.

Tai Shi Ci saw that the situation was not good, and he didn't want to accompany Liu Bei to the funeral, as soon as he saw that Ma Chao's cavalry was killed, Liu Bei disappeared again, so he took dozens of his own horsemen and rushed to Lingbi first. The matter has come to this, it is useless for him to stay, if Ma Chao really wants to ** Xiaopei people, it is not something that he can stop with dozens of horses.

Liu Bei ran away, but the Gan Quan brothers and sisters who were abandoned by him were a little difficult, after all, Gan Qian and Liu Bei had already set their names, but they were just short of the final wedding ceremony. According to the rules of the time, if the family members and daughters of enemy generals were captured, the general result was to give them to subordinate generals as slaves and concubines, and then stay in the army to do hard labor.

Gan Qian is only sixteen years old and is in her prime, and she is born with a beautiful country, how can Gan Quan let Ma Chao give Gan Qian away? Gan Quan pondered all the way for this and finally came up with a good idea, that is, to dedicate her sister to Ma Chao, even if it is a personal maid, it is much better than giving ordinary generals as concubines.

The brother and sister secretly discussed, although Gan Qian was resistant, but she had also heard of Ma Chao's name for a long time, and Liu Bei was ruthless and unrighteous, so she gritted her teeth and agreed. Gan Quan is overjoyed, he comes from a poor family, if he can hug Ma Chao's big thick legs, the future is limitless. immediately found Zhuge Jin, who was in charge of Ma Chao's diet and daily life, to arrange this matter.

Zhuge Jin is a thorough ancient, he thinks that it is too normal to find a personal maid for the lord to have fun, and then look at Gan Qian's willingness, extraordinary appearance, and even not weaker than the Mi Zhen of the Mi family and the princess of Wannian he has seen, and the identity of a captive, after a little contemplation, he agreed. So there was a thing of the beauties bathing together that night and having fun in the same bed.

Ma Chao had never seen Gan Qian, and he didn't know that he had given Houzhu Liu's mother in a daze, and she was also a yellow flower girl. The next morning, Gan Qian endured the sequelae left after breaking the melon, and got up early to serve Ma Chao to change clothes and wash up. Ma Chao didn't toss a lot last night, and the ** that he had been holding back for more than three months was completely released, and he only felt refreshed.

Recalling Gan Qian's jerky situation, Ma Chao was also puzzled in his heart, and asked at the moment: "Who are you?" Judging by how you behaved last night, you don't look like an advocate! ”

Gan Qianqiao's face was red, her beautiful eyes were shy, and she said coquettishly: "General Qiyu, the people's daughter Gan Qian!" She is a local girl from a good family in Xiaopei, not a family advocate! ”

"What! Are you Gan Qian, Liu Bei's Lady Gan? Ma Chao's heart was shocked, and he blurted out in surprise.

Gan Qian said: "The concubine is Gan Qian, although she has a marriage contract with Liu Yuanjun, she has not made a wedding ceremony, and she has only met once in a hurry!" can't count, in the name of Mrs. Gan, I don't dare to be a concubine! ”

After Ma Chao was shocked, his heart was also very complicated, and he secretly sighed that power was too good, especially in the era when the ancient emperor was in charge. As long as you have power in your hands, there will be countless people who will squeeze their heads to cling to you, if you can become the emperor, as soon as Chrysostom is opened, everyone in the world will have to do it. Of course, the puppet emperor is not among them.

Look at Mrs. Gan's slender figure, jade-like skin, delicate and beautiful face, beautiful eyes, and great love in my heart. Originally, he wanted to hide Gan Qianxue and give it to a meritorious general as a wife and concubine in the future, but now that he has a ** relationship with her, how can he send such a delicate beauty out? smiled and said: "Although Liu Bei is a thief, the general has no intention of occupying his daughter!" Last night's incident was voluntary? Or is someone pressing? ”

Gan Qianqiao's face flushed, and she twisted: "The concubine is not Liu Bei's daughter, but I heard that the general wants to reward the concubine to the subordinate generals to play with!" Rather than this, it is better to voluntarily dedicate yourself to the general, so as not to be humiliated! But no one persecuted the ** concubine! ”

Ma Chao nodded, playful, and suddenly said: "In this case, the general will not treat you badly, and it is enough to find a good family for you in the future, and ensure that you will be prosperous and rich for a lifetime!" ”

Gan Qian's face turned pale instantly when she heard this, and she said in a trembling voice: "Could it be that the general dislikes the ** concubine?" Although the concubine is from a humble background, she is an authentic woman from a good family, and she starves to death in a small matter, and now she is a general, so she has to start from the beginning. Since the general dislikes it, how can the concubine have the face to live in the world? With that, tears welled down his face, and as soon as he turned around, he slammed into the pillar.

Ma Chao's eyes were quick, and he took two quick steps to block in front of the pillar. Gan Qian couldn't stop and just crashed into his arms. Holding the beauty in his arms, Ma Chao's heart was rippling, and he said softly: "Don't be surprised by the beauty!" Ben will deliberately try it with words, and there is no intention of abandoning it! Qinghua looks like the moon, the surname is Zhenlie, and she knows the book and is gifted, and it is too late to cherish it, how can you bear to give it away! ”

Gan Qian was surprised, happy and ashamed when she heard this, her heart was extremely sweet, she had heard of Ma Chao's name of marrying a ghost as his wife for a long time, and she had already admired it in her heart, but she only hated that she had no chance to see her, but she almost married Liu Bei under Kong Rong's arrangement. Who knows that by mistake, it happened that Ma Chao attacked Xiaopei on the day of her wedding, and she became a prisoner because of this, coupled with Gan Quan's obstruction and Liu Bei's ruthlessness and injustice, she did not resist dedicating herself to Ma Chao. Now that a good thing has been accomplished, and Ma Chao's statement has been obtained, although he has no name, he is also very happy in his heart.

Ma Chao didn't want to publicize the matter, Gan Qian's identity couldn't be exposed yet, so he could only take it with him to be responsible for food and daily life. And Liu Bei's fate has also undergone earth-shaking changes, first of all, the two wives were robbed by Ma Chao, Zhang Fei was broken, Xiaopei was lost, and he almost became a lost dog with no food, grass and territory.

After having breakfast under Gan Qian's service, Ma Chao began to deal with the aftermath again, and praised Zhuge Jin greatly, Gan Quan was immediately promoted to the lieutenant of Peiguo County because of nepotism. As for the placement of more than 20,000 yellow turbans, Ma Chao had already thought of a way, first asking Wenpin to select 1,000 people from more than 20,000 people to supplement the military losses.

One of the twenty people was selected in strict accordance with the recruitment system, and the selected ones were all the elite of the elite. These people had already seen the equipment of Ma Chao's army, and after learning about the generous treatment and reward system, they were shocked, and most of them wanted to join Ma Chao's command. However, with limited places and available equipment, most people were unable to do so.

In order to settle the remaining miscellaneous soldiers, Ma Chao asked the people to nominate officials at all levels of the county government in Xiaopei, and Gan Quan was the county lieutenant, and 3,000 people were selected from the miscellaneous soldiers to serve as county soldiers. At the same time, the yamen catchers, tolerances, jailers and others are all from these miscellaneous soldiers. Even so, more than 10,000 people remain unhoused.

Ma Chaofeng hired him as the general of the Yue cavalry, temporarily leading Pei Guo Taishou, responsible for exterminating the local powerful families, and distributing the recovered land to miscellaneous soldiers and local civilians. Gao Shun was also named the general of Zhichong because of his meritorious service, plus the surname Cao and Chen Zhi, who were named miscellaneous generals in Qingzhou, and those who fought were rewarded.

These are all afterwords, not mentioned for the time being, but before noon, suddenly there was a report from the pro-soldiers, General Huang Zhong and General Xu Huang did not meet Liu Bei, only intercepted some civilians and miscellaneous soldiers, and asked for the next move!

Ma Chao had long expected that Liu Bei would not flee to Yangzhou and Yuzhou, but now it has been confirmed that Liu Bei had no choice but to go to Yanzhou to defect to Cao ** or Lu Bu. And Lu Bu is an eagle dog he supports, and most of them defected to Cao **. Ma Chao immediately ordered the two to protect the people, and escorted the captives to Xiaopei to discuss again.

Huang Zhong and Xu Huang immediately set off to Xiaopei after receiving the order, and there were as many as 10,000 people who followed the return to their hometowns, including many prisoners, all of whom were miscellaneous soldiers under Liu Bei, and the preliminary estimate was that there were more than 3,000 people.

Ma Chao led a team of personal soldiers out of the city to greet them, and the people in the city who were worried about their separated family members also went out of the city to find their relatives. As a result, tens of thousands of people gathered at the gates of the city.

Ma Chao lifted the horse forward, and Lao Yuan laughed and said: "The hard work of Hansheng and Gongming, I only hate Liu Bei for being cunning and not falling into the trap of this general, otherwise I will be able to destroy it in one fell swoop!" ”

The two didn't dare to say that they didn't dare to say anything, Xu Huang hugged his fists and said: "Liu Bei folded Zhang Fei and scattered most of the trilogy, although he escaped by luck, it is difficult to become a climate!" Huang is willing to lead an elite army to the west to crusade against Cao Thief, and completely exterminate Liu Bei at will! ”

Ma Chao was very moved when he heard this, now Cao ** is in full swing with Lu Bu, if Xu Huang is sent to stick a knife in the back, he will be crippled if he does not die. However, this move is difficult to eliminate Cao **, and it is bound to drive him to Yuzhou to defect to Yuan Shao, and it will speed up the pace of Yuan Shao's troops, which is a quick decision.

After thinking about it, Ma Chao shook his head and said: "Now that Xuzhou has just been recovered, the people's hearts have not returned, the army's hearts have not been decided, and there are still three local warlords Zang Ba, Zhenrong, and Zhao Yu who have not been pacified, and Guangling County, which is close to Yangzhou in the south of Xuzhou, is still entrenched in the small prince Liu Xuan, these local forces are all internal instability factors in Xuzhou, and they are a top priority!" ”

Xu Huang nodded, clasped his fists and saluted: "I am willing to listen to the arrangement of the lord!" ”

Ma Chao said with a smile: "Why should Gongming be polite, my brother Ma Xiu is your son-in-law, and he is not an outsider when he talks about it, just call Ben General Meng Qi in private." ”

Xu Huang didn't even dare to say it, but he was extremely satisfied with Ma Xiu's son-in-law. As Ma Chao's younger brother, Ma Xiu has been sitting in Yecheng for several years, holding the power of the entire Jizhou, speaking of which Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun are Ma Xiu's subordinates. Although Ma Xiu did not have an outstanding record, he was diligent and studious, and he was a corporal of Lixian, and he made great contributions to the governance of Jizhou together with Fu Zhi. Now that Ma Xiu and the daughter of the Xu family have made a gift, they are almost ready to get married. (To be continued.) )
