The Three Kingdoms: The strategist will stop, and Rome will be unified

Chapter 276 Ma Chao Surrenders, Cao Cao Enjoys

Zhao Feng looked at Ma Chao and said lightly, "I don't know how is General Ma Chao's injury?"

Ma Chao made a bow, smiled wryly and said, "To the king of Wei, Meng Qi is fine."

Then there was a complex look in their eyes, neither of them had any communication, but they could understand what the other was thinking at the same time.

Zhao Feng and Zhuge Liang didn't speak, just looked at Ma Chao quietly.

And Ma Chao was also silent, looking at Zhao Feng, and from time to time looked at the soldiers in other prisons.

It seems that there is also no choice, and then looked at Zhao Feng, showing a bit of bitterness and asked: "What will happen to them?"

Naturally, they were referring to these Xiliang soldiers, and they knew very well in their hearts that if it weren't for these soldiers, he, Ma Mengqi, would never have exploded with that kind of fighting power.

It's a pity that I still lost in the end.

Zhao Feng smiled lightly, and said with a hint of sharpness in his eyes: "If you surrender, Xiliang will exist. If you don't surrender, I will not leave behind anyone who will endanger my status."

Hearing this, Ma Chao sighed, looking at his old troops, how could he not know that if he didn't surrender, these soldiers would definitely not surrender either.

But if he surrenders, his image may be affected, and his status in the Xiliang army may also plummet.

Even if he will be scolded, he will not realize the extent of his influence.

Ma Chao looked over, stared at Zhao Feng seriously, took a deep breath, and then showed a smile.

It seems that these soldiers have given themselves enough courage and even encouragement.

Does reputation matter now? As long as the last [-] Xiliang troops can be preserved, it doesn't seem to matter.

Then, looking at Zhao Feng, he knelt down on one knee and said loudly, "Ma Mengqi has seen the Lord."

Zhao Feng smiled instantly, turned around and left, and said lightly: "All the soldiers in Xiliang are released."

As soon as these words came out, even Zhao Yun was shocked, did you think Ma Chao's words?
The lord actually trusts Ma Chao so much?Release all the Xiliang army with a wave of his hand?
Zhao Yun on the side was stunned and asked, "Is this trip inappropriate?"

Zhao Feng waved his hand and said, "Ma Chao should know how to do it."

The figures of them disappeared into the prison just like that, and the sentence just now made the whole prison quiet. Is this King Wei?
None of the guards in the big prison recovered from their senses, and they stood there in disbelief. Similarly, Ma Chao was also extremely shocked that the king of Wei released him in such a way.

It seemed that it was exactly as he had thought in his heart, what King Wei wanted was his attitude.

He looked at his prison door which had been opened in some surprise, would he be released?

Sima at the side didn't say anything, and sighed slightly, he was a little surprised that he could not die.

Zhao Feng will definitely not reuse him, and he can also distinguish the situation, and now the world has become a definite number.

Zhao Feng calmed Xiliang too fast, maybe he was too anxious.

When Zhao Feng arrived, Sima Yi didn't even dare to meet his gaze.

He had already guessed the final result, everyone in the prison had been released, and he was the only one still in the prison.

Ma Chao, who was also in the prison, looked at his soldiers in surprise, because the expected swearing and even sarcasm did not appear.

These soldiers, that is, his soldiers, did not ridicule Ma Chao because of his surrender, but still supported him as before.

Ma Chao laughed, wouldn't this be the best of both worlds?

Although I surrendered to Cao Wei, I didn't go up to anything, but found my true self.

The prison is full of laughter, and the prison at this moment is not like a prison.

"General, on the battlefield today, it's like seeing the general attacking the Qiang people in the past!"

"The general is brave."

Everyone smiled, but just as they were about to walk out of the prison, a jailer stopped them and said, "General Ma, my lord has ordered that all soldiers who come out must drink this."

In the large vat on the side, there was a smell of medicine.

Ma Chao's eyes sharpened slightly, could it be that the lord doesn't believe me?

But he didn't have an attack, but asked lightly: "What is this?"

Not only Ma Chao, but also the soldiers behind him were all curious and disgusted.

The jailer also sensed the emotions of the crowd, and said with a smile: "This vat contains medicine for treating wind and cold, and it was prepared by Mr. Yuan Hua himself. If you have any doubts, you can refuse to accept it. My lord will not force you."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone showed guilt expressions. They still had suspicions when King Wei treated them like this.

Ma Chao also fell silent, and smiled after a while, it seems that being Wei Wang's subordinate is also pretty good.

Immediately afterwards, he was the first to pick up the bowl and drink a bowl.

Sure enough, with his leadership, the other soldiers also stepped forward to drink the decoction. At this moment, Xiliang completely surrendered to Zhao Feng.

On the other side, in Xuchang, it is now the end of autumn, and the surrounding trees have long been stripped of their clothes. Maybe just waiting for a cold wind can usher in a heavy snowfall.

It is because of the reason after the rain that the temperature is closer to winter.

At this time, Cao Cao's hands were tucked into his sleeves, and he didn't look like a prime minister at all.

"Prime Minister, good news!"

A guard hurried over with a happy face and a letter in his hand.

He was panting heavily, and he could still see some mist.

Cao Cao turned around and said with a smile, "I want to see whose news made you so ecstatic."

Then he stood up, stretched out a hand to remove the leaf hanging from the guard's head and asked, "Tell me, what's the news?"

Now that he is in Xuchang, he doesn't worry about the Western Expedition at all, and he feels very comfortable.

Xun Yu, who is still in Xuchang, said to him: "Sizhou has King Wei, so there is no need to worry."

Now Cao Cao is only managing internal affairs, and he is extremely comfortable with the assistance of Xi Zhicai and others in this regard.

Now the only thing he can care about is the restless Soochow, and the war in Xiliang.

"Tell me, how many soldiers in Xiliang have been defeated this time?"

Hearing Cao Cao's guess, the guard smiled brighter.

"Neither. Under the leadership of King Wei, more than half of the Xiliang army was damaged, and the remaining 3 people and Ma Chao were all captured."

"In less than two days, Xiliang surrendered."

Hearing this, Cao Cao couldn't help smiling.

Thinking of Zhao Feng, he felt happy from the bottom of his heart, and even felt proud. Then he looked in the direction of the Xuchang Palace, showing a hint of a smile.

Some things always come so suddenly. Originally, he thought it would take several months to pacify Xiliang, but he didn't expect it to be resolved so soon.

Then he waved his hand and said, "I see, you can go down."

After the guard left, Cao Cao's expression immediately changed, and he said lightly to his back, "Zhicai, is the list I asked you to write down the names last time still there?"
