Ma Chao went to the small square in the city surrounded by Ma Xiu Ma Dai. At this time, tens of thousands of prisoners of the bandit army have been gathered here, and the surrounding cavalry swords and guns are unsheathed, with a posture of rushing to kill at any time, and the roofs are covered with soldiers armed with bows and crossbows.

When the bandits saw a figure who looked like a general, they knelt down and begged for mercy: "General, spare your life!" We are not bandits, we were forced by them! "There was a lot of commotion.

Ma Chao frowned, and Ma Dai shouted: "Shut up!" The scene was quiet, and they all looked at Ma Chao nervously.

Ma Xiu whispered next to Ma Chao: "According to intelligence, most of the people here were indeed coerced by Zhang Fang and his gang, and they are all ordinary people from various counties and towns west of the Minjiang River. ”

Ma Chao glanced at the black and oppressive prisoners in front of him, and said to Ma Xiu and Ma Dai: "The general will come soon, temporarily detain these people, and wait for the general to deal with them!" During this time, you have to distinguish between those who are blackmailed as bandits and Zhang Fang's original gang! The two generals clenched their fists and promised.

Li Ru hid in a house without an owner, terrified, and didn't know what to do.

The gaze turned to Chaisang.

"Daughter, you must have misunderstood your father and brother! Think what a hero your father and brother are, how can they be like you imagined? They must have their plans! I heard Zhou Yu say to your father, you must first settle down when you go outside! Although I am a woman, I think what Zhou Yu said is still very reasonable! Mrs. Sun sat in front of Sun Ren's sickbed and persuaded.

Sun Ren frowned and nodded.

Mrs. Sun said: "Daughter, you are too impulsive this time! When the injury is better, I will apologize to my father and brother! ”

Sun Ren frowned and nodded.

On the other side, Da Qiao was talking to Sun Ce: "Sun Lang, I don't know if I should say some things or not?" ”

Sun Ce held Da Qiao's slender hand and said with a smile: "Is there anything you can't say to me?" Go ahead. ”

Da Qiao hesitated, "Sun Lang, coming all the way, the people under Lu Bu and Cao Cao are certainly angry at what we have done, even the people in Jiangdong are quite complaining. Sun Lang, the previous move really outweighed the loss! Sun Ce let go of Da Qiao's slender hand, glanced at Da Qiao, and asked in a deep voice: "Do you think Lu Bu is a big hero, and we are all villains?" ”

Da Qiao was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "Sun Lang, don't get me wrong, I'm ......"

Sun Ce suddenly got up and said angrily: "Since you think we are all villains, why do you want to come to Chaisang again? "Walk away. Da Qiao was stunned on the spot, tears couldn't stop pouring out of her eyes, she didn't understand what she had done wrong?

With a long sigh, he turned around and walked towards his courtyard, lost his soul and in a trance. Suddenly, I heard a low cry from the side, stopped, followed the sound, and saw my sister Xiao Qiao crying alone in the water pavilion. Da Qiao felt strange and hurriedly stepped forward.

When Xiao Qiao saw his sister coming, he quickly turned his head to wipe his tears.

Big Qiao walked up to Xiao Qiao and sat down, and asked, "Sister, what's wrong with you?" Xiao Qiao showed sadness and sobbed: "Just now I told Sun Lang about the opinions of the people in various places, I hope he will be vigilant, but I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it to ......" Before the words were finished, tears welled up in his eyes again.

Da Qiao comforted: "Sister, don't be sad! He probably didn't mean it! ”

Xiao Qiao wiped his tears, "I know that Zhou Lang is very bitter in his heart, I shouldn't blame him!" Taking a deep breath, "I want to help him well and help him achieve his ideals!" Da Qiao smiled slightly, thinking of Sun Ce, he felt that he shouldn't blame him, the courage on his shoulders was too heavy, and the words he just said should make him feel very uncomfortable! Thinking of this, Da Qiao couldn't help but blame himself.

……

Zhang Lang led the Tiger Ben Guards to Jiangyuan County.

Ma Chao led the generals to follow Zhang Lang and his party outside the city, and then entered the county seat together. The group walked on the street, and at a glance, all the soldiers of the Blue Wolf Legion were in sight, and there was not a single common man. Zhang Lang frowned, "What about the local people?" ”

Ma Chao said: "Some fled to the Chengdu area, some fled into the nearby mountains, and the rest were either killed or forcibly captured by Zhang Fang and his gang. He hugged his fist at Zhang Lang, "There is one thing that needs to be decided by the general." Now that tens of thousands of bandits have been captured, I don't know what to do? ”

Zhang Lang asked: "First distinguish the people who were forcibly taken into bandits from Zhang Fang's original gang. ”

"Returning to the general, it has been distinguished."

Zhang Lang nodded, "Take me to the people who have been forcibly taken into bandits." ”

Ma Chao hugged his fists and promised.

A moment later, the group came to the west side of the city outside a fenced clearing. Tens of thousands of bandit captives were being held in the fence, and thousands of Blue Wolf Legion horsemen were on guard all around.

The group went straight into the fence. Tens of thousands of prisoners of the bandit army looked at each other and stood up, and some of them whispered, each with a look of unease on their faces.

Ma Chao raised his voice and said, "This is the general of the Han Dynasty." ”

Tens of thousands of bandit prisoners were shocked, and quickly knelt down and bowed and begged for mercy: "The general spares his life!" We are all forced! ......" The scene was noisy and chaotic.

Ma Chao frowned, and shouted: "Quiet! ”

The scene fell silent. Tens of thousands of captives knelt on the ground, and everyone's hearts were terrified.

Zhang Lang raised his voice and said, "I know that you were all persecuted by Zhang Fang and his gang. You were all good people. Do not be ye afraid, from now on you are all there is. ”

Tens of thousands of captives' eyes widened in disbelief. They all came back to their senses and hurriedly thanked them, and the voices of gratitude came one after another, and they were noisy.

Zhang Lang waited for them to be quieter, and raised his voice: "You stay here for the time being, and the rest of the matter will be handled by Lord Xichuan Assassin Shi Fazheng." The crowd thanked them.

Zhang Lang led Ma Chao and the others out of the camp, and Zhang Lang asked, "What about Zhang Fang and his gang?" ”

"The thousands of them were locked up in a threshing floor to the east. Zhang Fang's guy is stubborn, he has already been a prisoner, and he is not convinced at all! General, this person is only afraid that he will not be able to stay! ”

Zhang Lang smiled coldly, "I didn't want to keep him either!" Those people were all pressed outside the city of Chengdu and beheaded for public display! "No!"

Later that day, Fa Zheng led a few of his relatives to Jiangyuan County. I met with Fa Zheng at the county office. Zhang Lang said: "Filial piety doesn't have to be polite!" "General Xie." Fa Zheng straightened his waist, hugged his fist at Ma Chao, who was standing at the left head, and said with a smile: "Don't come to the general?" Ma Chao hugged his fists and saluted back: "It's okay." How is the sir? Fa Zheng said with a smile: "Thanks to the memory, you don't have to go to the front line to fight, and your life is naturally better than that of the general." The crowd laughed.

Fa Zheng walked to the right place and set up.

Zhang Lang said to Fa Zheng: "Do you know the people who were coerced by Zhang Fang and his gang? ”
