Chapter 71: Pacification
More and more people are surrendering.
was quickly controlled by Chen Zhou's arrangement, and when the time came, he would bring them all back to Xu Du and become soldiers under Cao Cao.
Of course, Chen Zhou will not let go of this opportunity to replenish his troops.
After almost doing the job, Chen Zhou saw Cao Zhen walking towards him, with Ma Teng and Han Sui following him.
"Sir."
After Cao Zhen came over, he introduced them to each other.
"This is Inspector Chen?"
Han Sui looked at Chen Zhou in surprise.
Unexpectedly, this Overseer was not very old, he only looked to be in his early twenties, and he was able to pacify Guanzhong with the Overseer, which was beyond his inherent understanding.
"Overseer Chen!"
Ma Teng said.
Sometimes, you can't judge how capable a person is based on their age.
Chen Zhou can supervise the army with festivals, and he can also kill Guo Yan and Li Dao, which is a manifestation of ability, so Ma Teng's attitude is a little polite, and his eyes are hot, and he really wants to get the edict of the Son of Heaven.
"Hello!"
Chen Zhou nodded slightly, and then said, "Have you discussed it, who will take the edict of the Son of Heaven?" ”
Ma Teng and Han Sui glanced at each other and shook their heads slightly, but the latter said first, "Can the Overseer let us think about it for another night?" ”
Chen Zhou agreed: "Of course there is no problem, in fact, there is no hurry, the two generals can take their time." ”
can get the recognition of the Son of Heaven and occupy the righteousness of the Son of Heaven, they can't do it if they don't want to.
"That young man is General Ma's son, right?"
Chen Zhou's gaze looked at Ma Chao nearby.
mentioned Ma Chao, and a look of pride flashed in Ma Teng's eyes: "That's right, my son Ma Chao, the word Meng Qi." ”
After a pause, Ma Teng said again: "Meng Qi, I came to see Chen Dujun." ”
Ma Chao helped Duan Xuan and Huang Fuyi to recover and suppress those soldiers who surrendered, and when he heard this, he came over, glanced at the young overseer, and said, "I've seen Overseer Chen." ”
"Meng Qi is polite."
Chen Zhou was sure that this person was really Ma Chao, and exclaimed: "I think Meng Qi is brave and extraordinary, and he is better than General Fubo back then!" ”
Ma Teng smiled and said, "How can Meng Qi compare with the ancestors? ”
General Fubo Ma Yuan is the ancestor of Ma Teng.
At that time, General Fubo, who fought in the south and the north, fought in the second and toes, and pacified the Qiang chaos, not only in the south, but also in the northwest.
"Okay, think about it!"
Chen Zhou was about to leave after speaking, but as soon as he took two steps, he paused for a moment and said, "Fang Qi is the one who killed Guo Yan, right?" ”
"Exactly!"
Ma Chao listened to Chen Zhou's praise of himself, he was very proud, and had a certain good impression of Chen Zhou, and said: "Guo Yan's head, I have already handed it over to General Huangfu." ”
"I will ask for credit for Meng Qi in front of His Majesty."
Chen Zhou was worried that there was no reason or excuse to take Ma Chao away.
That's not why it's here.
Take Ma Chao away, Ma Teng will not dare to mess around in Liangzhou and Guanzhong, only the uncertain factor of Han Sui remains, which is easy to solve, but if he proposes to take Ma Chao away tomorrow, he is not in a hurry now.
Back to camp.
Chen Zhou could see that all the soldiers who surrendered were controlled.
"More than 5,000 people surrendered."
"More than 1,300 war horses."
"This is Guo Yan's head."
Duan Xuan came over to report on the post-war situation.
Chen Zhou glanced at the bloody head, still feeling disgusted, and waved his hand: "Together with Li Wei's head, marinate it in lime and bring it back to Your Majesty, we have helped Your Majesty avenge it." ”
"Yes!"
Duan simmered.
Guanzhong is so calm.
They camped outside Linwei, rested temporarily, settled the matter of Ma Teng and Ma Chao, and then returned to Xudu.
Night.
"Sir."
Cao Zhen came to look for him, looked at Chen Zhou with admiration, and asked, "What should we do next?" ”
Chen Zhou said: "In two days, go back to Chang'an first, and then go back to Xudu, you keep an eye on the people who surrendered, don't let them riot at night, these will be the lord's soldiers in the future." ”
"I see."
After Cao Zhen finished speaking, he quickly left again.
Dian Wei was outside the camp tent, protecting Chen Zhou and standing guard for the night.
But soon, Huang Fuyi and Duan Xuan came together.
"Overseer."
Huang Fuyi first asked: "After we surrender this time, after we go back to Xudu, can we really pardon all the crimes and restore the glory we once had?" ”
"I said yes, I can."
Chen Zhou is very confident, as long as he mentions it to Cao Cao at that time, Cao Cao will go and say a few words to the Son of Heaven, everything is possible, and continued: "First of all, Huangfu Jianshou, Lingzun Huangfu General, is the Han General, crusade against the Yellow Turban, pacify Beigong Boyu, and make great achievements, this time you will be guilty of meritorious service, and the Son of Heaven will definitely be able to forgive you for following Dong Zhuo in desperation." ”
Huang Fuyi breathed a sigh of relief.
Sounds like a truth.
"Duan Zhongming is dedicated to being a Han, there is no big mistake, when the Son of Heaven passed by Huayin, you still received help, and it was also a hard work." Chen Zhou continued.
However, they went to Xudu, and they were not subordinates of the Son of Heaven, but Cao Cao's.
How to operate depends on Cao Cao and them.
"Thanks for the Overseer's reminder."
When the two of them heard this, they dispelled all their concerns.
With Chen Zhou's words of assurance, there is no big trouble.
I can sleep soundly tonight, too.
But next, who will be in charge of Yongzhou, Chen Zhou doesn't know, and it's not something he can arrange.
His task was simply to pacify.
——
Next.
As soon as Chen Zhou got up, Dian Wei came to report, and Ma Teng and Han Sui took the initiative to ask for a meeting.
"I've seen Overseer Chen."
The two of them bowed in front of Chen Zhou.
Han Sui first said: "We have discussed, the edict of the Son of Heaven, give it to my brother!" ”
Ma Teng said guiltily: "Thank you for your courtesy, in fact, you are more suitable." ”
"I'll forget it."
Han Sui laughed heartily and said, "I am not suitable for the state pastor. ”
Chen Zhou was not surprised by this result at all.
They did not have civil strife, nor did they infighting, so they determined the ownership of the edict of the Son of Heaven.
"The edict is not in my hands, and I am worried that when I chase and kill Guo Yan, it will be lost in the chaos, so I stay in Chang'an."
Chen Zhou revealed his intentions at this time, smiled and said, "How about letting Meng Qi go back with me to get the edict, and then send it back to Liangzhou to General Ma?" ”
"This ......"
Ma Teng obviously didn't expect that Chen Zhou would have this one.
This is deliberately leaving the edict in Chang'an, right?
They don't have much contact with Chen Zhou, and their relationship with Cao Cao is not very good, if Chen Zhou hadn't come here, they wouldn't have had any intersection in a short time.
Just let Ma Chao follow Chen Zhou back, which has a feeling of being a hostage.
Ma Teng could see that Cao Cao didn't seem to fully trust him.
However, can this hostage allow Ma Chao to be a hostage?
Han Sui listened to Chen Zhou's words and was also surprised, the edict of the Son of Heaven seemed to be a hot potato, and it was not as good as he imagined.
And they thought the Overseer was scheming!
With an edict, Ma Teng couldn't go up and down, and he was in a dilemma.
They all promised to accept the edict, if they gave up now, it would be not to give face to the Son of Heaven, and it would not give Cao Cao face.
