Hearing Zhang Chao's invitation, Fa Zheng found that he had no reason to refuse, on the contrary, there was still something in his heart, as if he was also longing for this moment to come.

"Yes." I already had a desire in my heart, Zhang Chao was making an invitation, and it was an instant hit, and Fa Zheng finally agreed to surrender.

"Haha, good, good!" After Zhang Chao heard this satisfactory answer, he was even more happy, got up and grabbed Fa Zheng's arm, and laughed.

was able to persuade Fa Zheng to use it for himself so quickly, and this naturally had Zhuge Liang's "credit" in it. But the more reason is that Zhang Chao's own strength is big enough, and he can also offer enough conditions and have enough confidence.

"Sir, rest assured, I have arranged for someone to pick up Mr.'s family from Yizhou. Although there is no guarantee that all of them will be taken out, those who are close to Mr. should be fine. Fa Zheng has promised to own it, and then Zhang Chao will show a certain amount of goodwill.

If he wanted to talk about this matter, when he learned from the Tianyan Organization that Fa Zheng was in Dong Zhuo's military camp, he arranged for someone to do it. Prepared early, I'm afraid even Zhuge Liang didn't expect it.

"Thank you, Lord." Hearing that his family would be fine, Fa Zheng did not have any knots in his heart at this moment, and immediately bowed to the ground and made a great salute to the monarch and ministers.

Zhang Chao went to see Fa Zheng, and Pang Tong had been waiting outside.

In less than an hour, Zhang Chao and Fa Zheng appeared together, watching the two of them talk and laugh all the way, Pang Tong also smiled, and when the other party approached, he hugged his fists and said: "Congratulations to the lord, another important minister." ”

"Haha, Shiyuan, this also has your credit." Zhang Chao was in a very good mood at the moment, and he laughed when he heard Pang Tong's words.

However, after hearing this, Fa Zheng on the side also said with a look of shame: "Yes, Mr. Shiyuan is very powerful, if it wasn't for his tricks, I'm afraid that I am still hiding in the city where the people are hiding here." ”

"Hahaha." Hearing this, Zhang Chao and Pang Tong all laughed.

After Zhang Chao came to Cangsong City, he ordered the army to be stationed, and it seemed that he had no intention of going west.

The three-way army arrived and began to reorganize Cangsong City, under strict military orders, hundreds of thousands of soldiers did not do anything to disturb the people, but quickly won the trust and favor of the people.

After Zhang Chao's army rested in Cangsong City for a day, Lu Bu rushed to the city with Dong Zhuo, who was captured, as well as Ma Teng, the king of Xiliang who came to surrender to Cheng, and a group of generals under him.

Zhang Chao showed enough respect for Ma Teng's arrival, and he led his troops to the West City Gate early.

Far away, when Lu Bu came to the city with a large army, when he saw that there was still Zhang Chao in the greeting team, he hurriedly dismounted, and did not forget to remind Ma Teng who was following him, "King Xiliang, the general is coming to greet him personally, let's dismount." ”

"Okay." At this moment, Ma Teng didn't dare to have the slightest disrespect, and when he fought with Dong Zhuo, his current strength was not even 30,000, so how could he not take the initiative to show goodwill?

Lu Bu, Ma Teng and the others got off their horses, strode under the city gate, and came to Zhang Chao, who was riding a white crane horse and wearing a white robe.

With a plop, Lu Bu knelt on the ground, and then said in an extremely respectful tone: "Lord, the Yongzhou army was destroyed, the thief leader Dong Zhuo was arrested, and Bu came to report. ”

"Haha, good! General Lu has made a great contribution to this trip, and he will be rewarded separately when he returns, so please get up now. Zhang Chao laughed.

"No." Lu Bu got up and retreated to the side with satisfaction, and then exchanged for Ma Teng to stride over.

When he came to Zhang Chao, he knelt down on one knee and said: "Xiliang Ma Teng see the general." ”

The use of seeing rather than seeing is an indication of Ma Teng's surrender. This made Zhang Chao overjoyed at the same time, and the whole person also jumped off the horse, came to Ma Teng, who was half-kneeling on the ground, stretched out his hands to help him up, and said: "Ma Houye doesn't need to be polite, we will be a family in the future." ”

A sentence of Ma Houye also shows Zhang Chao's attitude. That is, from now on, Ma Teng will be the same as Yuan Shao, and it should be Xilianghou.

This answer reassured Ma Teng a lot. Although there were some preparations in advance, no one can guarantee that there will be accidents until the dust settles. In case Zhang Chao wants to kill him, it will be just a matter of one sentence.

Helping Ma Teng with both hands, Zhang Chao smiled again, and looked back and pointed in the direction behind him and said: "Xilianghou, your two sons are behind, you go to catch up with them first, and I will hold a welcome banquet in the city when I turn back, and I must appreciate the light when I arrive." ”

"Yes, definitely." Ma Teng replied respectfully. Then he looked at Ma Chao and Ma Xiu in the crowd, and finally a smile bloomed on his face.

In history, Ma Teng's ambition is not very big, but he is still very obsessed with things above the court. was also used by Cao Cao to kill him. With the appearance of Zhang Chao in this life, he can get what he wants, and he can really walk above the court in the future, and he doesn't have to worry about any killing, which may be an excellent ending.

After seeing Lu Bu and Ma Teng, he then greeted a group of Xiliang generals.

For the opportunity to show up and speak in front of Zhang Chao, these generals also cherish it very much, and they all try their best to show their best side.

Zhang Chao was also very polite to them, and at the same time expressed his welcome. And said that the generals were placed separately in the future, which made everyone very happy.

Following these people, he finally met Dong Zhuo, who was captured.

Dong Zhuo at this moment has long since lost the appearance he used to be when he became a master from above. The red robe had already been stained with dust along the way, and the hair was not combed, and the whole person had not been rested, making it look very embarrassed.

"Dong Zhuo, are you guilty?" As soon as he saw Dong Zhuo with his hands tied, Zhang Chao immediately changed his previous gentle attitude, and asked with a stern expression.

"Guilt, guilt. The Great General, Knowing the Guilt. But for the sake of the treasure I have to offer, spare my life. Dong Zhuo saw that Zhang Chao's attitude was so cold, and at the same time, he was frightened, and hurriedly shouted, hoping to redeem his life with money.

Regarding the fact that Dong Zhuo had a batch of treasures, Lu Bu had already sent someone to inform him in advance, and Zhang Chao naturally knew it.

Although he was thinking about this treasure now, he would not reveal it in front of so many people. It's just that he pretended to hear about it for the first time, and deliberately showed a look of surprise.

"There is a treasure, and I think this treasure is worth a lot. In that case, he might be alive. "The others heard about this for the first time, originally they thought that Dong Zhuo's previous actions would definitely be dead, but they didn't think that with the idea of offering treasures, then they might not have to die.

Everyone else thinks so. And it is precisely because of this that Zhang Chao can't spare this person. He wanted to die in front of everyone to Dong Zhuo to prove his determination and thunderous means, which could also be used to deter others.

"Treasure? Hum! Dong Zhuo, what you have done is not an exaggeration to describe what people and gods are angry about, and it is full of evil, do you think that you can avoid death by offering treasures? Tell you, don't think. Whoever comes, puts him on death row, and three days later executes him at the entrance of the market, where all the people and soldiers can come and watch. Zhang Chao's voice came out coldly.

Originally, it was the cold winter season, and as soon as these words came out, it gave people a cold feeling that pierced the bone marrow.

And after listening to Zhang Chao's decision, Dong Zhuo was so frightened that he fainted to death, and the other Xiliang generals who had just thrown in were shocked one by one, and their hearts were like turbulent waves.

This general is really decisive, and his heart to kill Dong Zhuo is so heavy. Even if the other party is willing to offer a huge amount of treasure, he will not spare his hand. And they will be honest in the future, don't fall into the hands of this person, they don't have so much money, and it seems useless to have it.

With the help of Dong Zhuo's handling of the incident, Zhang Chao effectively deterred others, which played a role in killing chickens and setting an example.

Naturally, these treasures, Zhang Chao is also bound to obtain. Isn't there still three days left? That's enough, there are means waiting for Dong Zhuo on death row, but the feeling is a hundred times more uncomfortable than death, he doesn't believe that anyone can bear it.

The armies finally converged in one place. Zhang Chao gave everyone an afternoon of rest, and agreed to hold a celebration banquet in the evening, when all the generals and meritorious officials could come to participate.

The bustle at the West Gate slowly dissipated. Ma Teng followed his eldest son Ma Chao and second son Ma Xiu back to the temporary mansion in the city.

After entering the mansion, the father and son closed the outer door and hid in the study.

After there was no one else, Ma Teng first took a look at his eldest son Ma Chao and confirmed that most of his injuries had healed, which was a lot more relieved.

"Father don't worry, Zhang Chao's medical officers are still very capable, I feel that my body is getting better day by day, and it won't be long before I can go back to the battlefield." Ma Chao felt his father's care and said with some excitement.

"Okay, it's good that Chao'er is healthy, it's good that she's fine." Ma Teng said with emotion.

Ma Chao is fine, and then he has to talk about his own affairs, Ma Teng looked at his two sons and said: "This time the general rescued in time, my father's fate was saved, and he will live in Jinyang City in the future, become a waiting master, and I want to live safely for the rest of my life." ”

Although Ma Teng said it easily, Ma Chao could still hear some extraneous voices in it. "Father, you used to be the lord of a state, and you will become someone else's subordinate in the future, are you willing?"
