Soon, the news of Lü Bu and Zhang He's siege of Song Jian spread in Liangzhou.

After Zhang Fei's order was issued, Lu Bu and Zhang He did not leave their hands behind, and immediately launched an all-round three-dimensional attack on the king of Heshou Pinghan.

At first, the king of Heshou Pinghan came to the east of Liangzhou with the army he had formed, wanting to decide the outcome with the army of the imperial court, but he ended up like this.

In the end, his army was killed and wounded, and almost all of them were wiped out by Lu Bu and Zhang He.

And this dignified king of Heshou Pinghan was actually captured alive by Wei Xu, the captain under Lu Bu, during the battle.

Subsequently, Song Jian was sent to Zhang He's army.

The current Zhang He is the second-in-command of the Liangzhou Production and Construction Corps, and has the right to deal with temporary matters outside.

But even so, in the face of this anti-king, Zhang He did not make any unauthorized claims, he immediately sent someone to Jincheng County to ask Zhang Fei, the anti-king, how to deal with it?

Lu Bu was a little scoffy at Zhang He's approach, he felt that since Song Jian had been captured alive, it would be up to them directly, either beheaded, or escorted to Jincheng County.

Why did Zhang He take off his pants and fart, and if he did this, he had to ask Zhang Fei first?

Why do you have to ask such a simple thing?

Regarding Lu Bu's question, Zhang He didn't say much, his way of doing things is very different from Lu Bu.

In short, Zhang He asked Zhang Fei in a more troublesome way, and got Zhang Fei's order, which was to behead Song Jian on the spot, and then send his head to Chang'an.

The reason why Zhang Fei did this was because after killing Song Jian on the spot, it could form a greater deterrent to the rebels in Liangzhou.

Although Song Jian called himself the King of Pinghan and was rebellious, he was far away in Cao Khan, and there was almost no threat to the imperial court over the years, and if he was escorted to Chang'an, it would not play much role in the imperial court, but it would be time-consuming and laborious, and the gains outweighed the losses.

So, Zhang He immediately put Song Jian to death on the spot.

The news that Song Jian was killed by Zhang He soon spread throughout the land of Liangzhou.

And Ma Teng, Han Sui and others, who were Song Jian's hardcore allies, couldn't help but be surprisingly silent after learning the news.

After getting the news that Song Jian was besieged, the two discussed left and right, but in the end, no one sent troops to rescue Song Jian.

Now that they heard that Song Jian had died, the two of them couldn't help but feel a little inexplicable grief in their hearts.

There is even a bit of indescribable sadness about the death of a rabbit and a fox.

But now, there is no way back.

Since Song Jian is dead, it means that they really don't have any allies and have become lonely.

However, how easy is it to return to the imperial court?

At this moment, Zhang Fei was sent to make a war with Ma Teng and Han Sui.

It is said that it is a war letter, but in fact, it is only a negotiation in the name of inviting war.

Zhang Fei said that his soldiers and horses had arrived in Zhangye, and wanted to have a negotiation conversation with Ma Teng and Han Sui before the battle.

Ma Teng and Han Sui didn't know who to send to negotiate with Zhang Fei to clarify their desire to surrender.

Now, Zhang Fei plans to meet with the two of them in person before the battle, which really makes Ma Teng and Han Sui very excited.

Happiness really came too suddenly, how much effort did Zhang Fei save them in this move?

At the beginning of the fourth year of Jian'an, Ma Teng, Han Sui and Zhang Fei made an appointment to meet in the desert of Zhangye.

This time, neither side carried too many men and horses, but each led 3,000 elite soldiers in a row.

Since there is no shelter on the desert, and there is no end in sight, if there is an ambush on both sides, as long as a scout is sent to investigate nearby, it can be explored very clearly at once.

So in this way, neither side can calculate the other.

Zhang Fei sent people to line up on the desert, and he finally met with Han Sui and Ma Teng.

After the meeting, Zhang Fei ordered people to arrange three tables and three blankets in the middle of the desert in front of the two armies, and prepared three large umbrellas to stand in the desert, and then asked people to withdraw, and sat alone behind the table, waiting for Ma Teng and Han Sui to come to the appointment.

After a while, I saw Ma Teng and Han Sui turn over and get off their horses respectively, and walked towards Zhang Fei from the formation opposite them.

After a while, I saw two people come to Zhang Fei. They each sat down after a program.

Zhang Fei looked back and forth at Ma Teng and Han Sui who were present, and then suddenly laughed.

After that, I saw Zhang Fei arching his hand towards the two people and said:

"General Ma and General Han are both my predecessors, although the two of you are rebellious border generals, but when it comes to the time of using the army, both of you are many years longer than me."

"We have been in Liangzhou for many years, and we have fought each other several times, and we have won and lost each other, but we have never seen each other."

"To be honest, although I have the upper hand now, it is not my ability alone, it is because I am backed by the court and have the prime minister as my backing, so I said. The two of you are defeated by me today is not because they are inferior to me. ”

"This time, in the name of the covenant, I specially invited the two of you to meet here, but also to really get to know the two, and at the same time to find a way out for the two of us in the future."

Speaking of this, Zhang Fei picked up the wine jug on his table and poured a handful of wine into the wine cellar in front of him.

Then I saw Zhang Fei shake the wine jug in his hand, and then he stood up and put the wine jug on Ma Teng's table.

Ma Teng saw that Zhang Fei also drank this pot of wine, and knew in his heart that the possibility of his poisoning was ruled out, so he and Han Sui poured the wine jue separately.

After pouring a full amount of wine, Zhang Fei immediately raised the wine lord in his hand at Ma Teng and Han Sui: "No matter what, we have been fighting back and forth over the years, we can be regarded as opponents and confidants, and it is a great fortune in life to be able to get an opponent on the battlefield that is comparable to myself, not to mention that I also got two!" Come! Let's drink this knight. ”

What Zhang Fei said made Ma Teng and Han Sui very useful, and the two of them also raised the bartender.

Han Sui said: "General Zhang is the most fierce general in the world, and it is also a great fortune for Han to be able to be an opponent with the general." ”

After the three of them drank, they heard Zhang Fei say: "Two, don't hide it from you, although we are chess opponents on the battlefield, but you have also noticed the current situation, with your current strength, it is impossible to defeat the imperial court, and the imperial court today is different from that year." ”

"Now, Prime Minister Liu Cheng is in power, and the world is in the heart."

"Liangzhou, as the territory of the Han Dynasty, is definitely not allowed to be ceded out."

"Now that you have retreated to Zhangye, what can you do next? Do you really want to go to the Western Regions and be the subordinates of the outward barbarians to compete with the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty? ”

"If this is the case, what will your descendants say about you ancestors when they know the next day that they were once Han Chinese, but once they became a foreign race?"

"Now, there is no need for us to continue to fight, we are all Han Chinese, and the two of us are rare fierce generals in the Han Dynasty."

"Why do you have to fight to the death against the imperial court?"

"Why don't you abandon the darkness and turn to the light, so that you can be crowned with a wife and a son?"

After listening to Zhang Fei's words, Ma Teng and Han Sui glanced at each other.

Then I saw Ma Teng arch his hand and said:

"Don't hide it from General Zhang, a certain and Wen Yue, joining the rebels in the past was also a last resort."

"You also know that Liangzhou is a barbaric place, full of rebellions, which have not been stabilized all these years, and there are killings everywhere, and blood everywhere."

"The people who live here are very different from the Central Plains."

"If Han Wenyue and I don't rebel, I'm afraid that we will die in the hands of the rebels in the past."

After Ma Teng finished speaking, he immediately looked at Han Sui on the side.

After Han Sui listened to Ma Teng's words, he also immediately responded: "General Zhang, Shou Cheng's words are from the bottom of my heart, and they are also my thoughts, although we have the heart to return to orthodoxy, but now we are deeply trapped in this situation, but I don't know what to do." ”

"But by the time the two of us repent, it's all a foregone conclusion."

When Zhang Fei heard this, he immediately said: "General Han's words are too affirmative, today's prime minister has the world in mind, accepts all rivers, and treats all the people in the world equally. ”

"If General Han and General Ma have difficulties, why don't they show their helplessness to Prime Minister Liu today, so that the prime minister can surrender the two of them and return to the imperial court, and in the future, it is better to be the rebellious person and leave a stench for 10,000 years?"

When Ma Teng and Han Sui heard this, their hearts suddenly burst with joy.

I saw Ma Teng saying to Zhang Fei: "General Zhang, the implication is that we can be accepted by the imperial court?" ”

Zhang Fei said: "Who is not guilty? Although the mistakes you rebels have made before are too great, the land of Liangzhou is not the same as other places...... In Liangzhou, you can be forgiven and surrendered. ”

"I can make the decision on behalf of Prime Minister Liu Cheng, if the two of you are willing, I will send it to the court to ask the Son of Heaven to decide, and when the Son of Heaven issues an edict, recruit the two of you to submit to Chang'an and seal the official position, you can rest assured."

Han Sui hurriedly said, "General Zhang can make this matter clear to the imperial court." ”

Zhang Fei said: "Not only do I want to report this matter to the imperial court, but I will also ask Liu Jingsheng, the upper uncle, to jointly ask the imperial court to play with me." ”

"It's just that I also ask the two of you not to face Qin Duchu in the future, and regenerate different hearts the next day, if that's the case, there will be no one in the world who can protect the two of you."

Ma Teng hurriedly said: "If General Zhang is willing to give us this opportunity, oh, no, it should be said that the imperial court is willing to give us this opportunity, we will never rebel again, and serve the imperial court wholeheartedly." ”

"It's just that what General Zhang said is true? Is it true that the court can forgive us our original sins and not pursue them in the future? ”

Zhang Fei said: "You two can think about it carefully, since Prime Minister Liu Cheng became the pastor of Jizhou in Jizhou, when did he treat people in the world deceive and deceive? ”

"Today's prime minister, rule the world with benevolence and righteousness, treat the people with a broad mind, you two are also one of the people of the Han Dynasty, the prime minister will naturally be impartial and treat you with a fair heart, as long as you submit to the court, become good citizens again, become a minister of the court, and live up to the court, then the court will naturally not disappoint you."

Ma Teng and Han Sui were very happy when they heard this, and of course they did not lose their minds.

"In that case, then the two of us will not fight with General Zhang for the time being, we will set up our soldiers and horses in Zhangye, and wait for General Zhang to explain the situation here to the imperial court before making a decision, how about it?"

Zhang Fei laughed, he got up again, picked up the wine jug, poured wine for himself, and said to the two: "Then it's a word." ”

……

In the end, Zhang Fei immediately sent someone to contact Liu Biao, asking him to write a song with him to return to the imperial court, and explain the matter to Liu Jian and today's son respectively.

Liu Biao also hoped that the war in Liangzhou could be pacified, so he and Zhang Fei jointly signed a joint letter to the imperial court and Liu Jian respectively.

After Chang'an received the note, Liu Xie still didn't care about anything as before, and immediately sent someone to explain the matter to Liu Jian, and obeyed Liu Jian's command with full authority.

After Liu Jian got the news, he immediately ordered: "If you invite the Son of Heaven, please issue an edict today to recruit Xiliang Ma Teng Han Sui." ”

At the same time, Liu Jian also asked today's son to entitle Ma Teng and General Han Sui.

and made them marquises, and gave them fiefdoms to settle their hearts.

Although there were many people in the court who had different opinions on the surrender of Ma Teng and Han Sui, Liu Jianli overrode public opinion and suppressed these opinions with a resolute attitude.

Then the edicts of the Son of Heaven came to Liangzhou, and Liu Biao immediately sent people to send these edicts to Zhang Fei's military camp.

After Zhang Fei got the news, he sent the edict to Ma Teng and Han Sui.

After Ma Teng and Han Sui saw the edict, they were overjoyed, and they felt that Zhang Fei and Liu Jian were indeed people of faith and righteousness, and they were honest and did not deceive others.

Now that this edict has been issued from Chang'an City, it can be said that it is widely distributed all over the world, and if Liu Jian repents in the future, his reputation will inevitably be damaged.

From this point of view, Liu Jian really really wants to surrender to them.

In February of the fourth year of Jian'an, Ma Teng and Han Sui immediately went to Chang'an with a letter of resignation, expressing their willingness to surrender to the imperial court.

Since then, the twenty-year-long Liangzhou rebellion has finally ended, and the Western Liang rebels surrendered to the imperial court under the leadership of Ma Teng and Han Sui.

Of course, surrender is surrender, but it will take some time to completely surrender.

The first is how to settle these rebels under Ma Teng and Han Sui.

Do you want them to return to the people, or do you want them to join the army to fight for the imperial court?

This matter still needs Zhang Fei and Liu Biao to consider carefully, and then inherit the imperial court and make a charter.

However, Zhang Fei and Liu Biao can do these meticulous jobs well.

According to Liu Jian's wishes, Zhang Fei and Liu Biao discussed that the elite people in Ma Teng and Han Sui's army could be drawn out to enrich the Liangzhou Assassin History Department and the Production and Construction Corps, or establish a self-defense army in Liangzhou.

As for the remaining men, they were given new household registrations, given wives, settled down, had children, and enriched the population of the border.
