Invincible special police swept the three kingdoms

Chapter 296 Conquering the Lujiang River
Everyone said that when they saw Zhao Lei, and they didn't say anything more at the moment.After all, it would be no good to oppose Zhao Lei's decision at this time.

But at this time, Ma Chao said to Zhao Lei: "Thank you, my lord, for your love, and made Mengqi a general. But Ma Chao also knows himself. I also know that I have not been in the Yangzhou Army for many years. In terms of qualifications, I am not as good as the brothers present. Besides This time Ma Chao is only fighting according to the lord's military order, and he has not performed any outstanding performance, so he is not worthy of the lord's promotion!"

Ma Chao's words cheered everyone up, everyone was thinking, it doesn't matter if there is a reward, is this Ma Mengqi who just came to the Yangzhou Army back then?And as the time Ma Chao came to the Yangzhou Army gradually increased, it seemed that the little prince's temper in him could no longer be found.At this moment, Ma Chao's words are often modest, but without losing his grace.Seeing Ma Chao's modesty, some generals who were about to object were embarrassed to say anything more, and they didn't care much about Ma Chao's reward.

Seeing Ma Chao's evasion, and then seeing the other generals in the tent seem to be a little helpless, Zhao Lei frowned, and said immediately: "Hehe, everyone seems to be not very relieved about Meng Qi!"

Zhao Lei's words seemed to be reprimanded by everyone, so Jia Xu immediately came out and said, "My lord, the subordinates believe in the lord's vision, but Meng Qi himself explained the reason earlier. The subordinates also think that the lord will immediately surpass him." The general is indeed a little too hasty. Ma Chao's qualifications are still young and he lacks enough actual combat experience. His subordinates are worried that some soldiers will not accept the title of Ma Chao after the lord is named a general. My lord, unity is the foundation of our army's victory. You know, Anne can only fight Outside!"

Jia Xu's words also made everyone's hearts tense, and everyone couldn't help but sweat coldly for Jia Xu's words!Because Jia Xu's words not only offended Ma Chao, but also directly pointed the finger at Zhao Lei.Even if Jia Xu is Zhao Lei's most trusted adviser, he can't embarrass Zhao Lei in public like this, right?
But after Jia Xu finished speaking, she looked at Zhao Lei blankly, as if she was still looking forward to Zhao Lei's answer.

"Jia Xu, you are presumptuous!" Zhao Lei suddenly shouted, startling everyone present.

"My lord, what this subordinate said is reasonable and there is nothing inappropriate!" Facing Zhao Lei's fury, Jia Xu remained calm.

"The main attack is to appease the anger. Meng Qi thinks what Jia Junshi said is correct. My lord, don't anger Jia Junshi because of this matter!" Ma Chao unexpectedly helped Jia Xu and pleaded.

Hearing that Ma Chao pleaded for Jia Xu, everyone was very surprised, Zhao Lei also became interested immediately, and said to Ma Chao: "Little devil, tell me, why did what Jia Xu said just now make sense?"

"My lord, Mr. Jia and I have already emphasized the truth about not being able to make me a general. I am too young to be a general in the Yangzhou army. It may dissatisfy the soldiers and cause difficulties in the Yangzhou army. Heavy! Mr. Jia may have been too impatient just now, so he verbally offended the lord. So please don't be angry, lord, and blame Mr. Jia." Ma Chao said.

Zhao Lei pointed to Jia Xu and said to Ma Chao: "He said that about you, and he didn't let you be promoted in the army, but you still helped him speak well, don't you hate him?"

Ma Chao shook his head and said: "Mr. Jia is a loyal man, and his objection is for the good of the lord. Moreover, Mr. Jia is not against me in this matter, so I don't have anything to hate him for." Besides, Brother Zilong also often taught me that one must be open-minded and have no desires or desires in order to dominate the battlefield. If you get angry over such a trivial matter and hurt the peace among subordinates, it is not a change of way to add to the lord Are you worried?"

After hearing this, the big tent was silent.At this time, a smile suddenly appeared on Jia Xu's calm face, and he said to Zhao Lei: "My lord, Ma Chao has left my subordinates with nothing to say, my lord, please take care of yourself."

Zhao Lei also smiled at Jia Xu at this time, and then said to everyone: "Is there anyone who opposes me making Ma Chao a general?"

Guo Jia was the first to stand up and said: "My lord, Ma Chao is indeed a good general. Feng Xiao was the first to agree with this proposal of my lord."

Then Zhao Yun also said: "Brother, I personally taught Ma Chao, Zilong also regards him as his own brother, so I agree."

"My lord, although I haven't served for long, Zhou Yu agrees with my lord's decision!" Zhou Yu said.

The civil and military capitals like Jia Xu, Guo Jia, Zhao Yun, and Zhou Yu agreed, and the others had nothing to say.Moreover, what Ma Chao said just now did somewhat touch the people present.If it wasn't for Zhao Lei and Jia Xu's singing together to force out Ma Chao's inner essence, everyone wouldn't be able to see clearly what kind of person Ma Chao is!

That's right, being open-minded is what a real man does.Although Ma Chao is young, but his mind has reached such a state, coupled with his superb martial arts, he can definitely become a general of the Yangzhou Army.

"Zilong, you have worked hard these days. Today I saw your quality in Ma Chao. You have cultivated another talent for our Yangzhou Army!" Zhao Lei said to Zhao Yun with a smile.

"Again? Since when did I train talents for my elder brother?" Zhao Yun asked suspiciously.

Zhao Lei chuckled and said, "Isn't this No.1 your own?"

When Zhao Lei said this, everyone in the big tent burst into laughter.

"Meng Qi, this is your father's reply letter. The person I sent last time just returned yesterday and gave me this letter. I haven't opened it. You can read it yourself!" Zhao Lei handed the letter to Ma Chao after finishing speaking. .

Ma Chao took the letter, read it briefly, tore it up, and clasped his fists to Zhao Lei and said, "My lord must be able to guess what is written in the letter, right?"

Zhao Lei nodded and said, "Then what do you think?"

"Since I, Ma Chao, have joined the lord, I won't have anything to do with my father's Liangzhou army. Moreover, Yangzhou is far away from Liangzhou. It is basically impossible for the lord to meet my father when he is fighting for the world. But if we arrive When we really want to fight on the battlefield, loyalty and filial piety cannot be combined, please don't send me to fight when the time comes, so Ma Chao won't have to worry about it." Ma Chao said.

Zhao Lei smiled and said, "Very good! I can have three generals, Zilong, Wenyuan, and Mengqi. With God's help, the days of ruling the world can be expected."

As he was speaking, the soldiers outside the tent shouted: "My lord, Ou Xing led all the troops in Lujiang to surrender."

"The stars in this area are also people who know current affairs. They know that after losing the momentum around them, their strength has been greatly reduced, their vitality has been greatly injured, and they can no longer fight against our army, so they are willing to surrender to the lord!" Zhou Yu laughed.

"Gongjin, why do I sound like you want me to reject his surrender?" Zhao Lei asked.

Zhou Yu smiled and said: "My lord misunderstood, Yu just lamented the dead Zhang Chun, if he could have realized it earlier, he would not have ended up like this!"

"Hehe, this is a person's fate. Sometimes life and death are just a matter of a thought." Hearing Zhou Yu's words, Zhao Lei sighed and said, "Forget it, since Ou Xing has surrendered, I have no reason to refuse. Come and prepare horses." , let's go to the gate of the camp!"

After a while, Zhao Lei rode his horse and the generals came to the gate of the camp, and saw Ou Xing kneeling on the ground holding the seal of Lujiang County Sheriff. After seeing Zhao Lei, Ou Xing stood up and handed the seal to Zhao Lei.

Since Ou Xing surrendered and his attitude was considered sincere, Zhao Lei also treated him with courtesy. He dismounted from his horse, took the seal of the prefect, and said to Ou Xing: "It is really gratifying and congratulatory for General District to turn his back on evil and return to the court. The district general surrendered to the imperial court, which is not only a blessing for the district general, but also a blessing for the people of Lujiang."

"My lord is wise, my subordinate Ou Xing sees my lord!" Ou Xing bowed to Zhao Lei again.

After Zhao Lei helped Ou Xing up, he took Ou Xing and walked towards his camp, preparing to host a banquet in honor of Ou Xing.

After the Battle of Lujiang, all the territory of Yangzhou in the north of the Yangtze River was under Zhao Lei's tent. Now as long as one Moling County is captured, Wu County can be opened up and these cities can be connected together.

On the second day, accompanied by Ou Xing, Zhao Lei and others entered Lujiang City together.
In the hall of the Sheriff's Mansion, Ou Xing had ordered someone to set up a banquet to pay tribute to Zhao Lei's hospitality yesterday.He first poured Gao Fei a glass of wine, then poured himself another glass, raised the wine glass high, and said to Zhao Lei: "This subordinate is here to offer a glass of wine to the lord. From now on, this subordinate will be loyal to the lord. until death."

Seeing Ou Xing's sincere appearance, Zhao Lei couldn't help becoming serious, and said: "The general of the district is serious. It is Zhao Lei's honor to be able to join our army this time and serve our army. Let's toast."

At the banquet, the two sides just respected each other like this, and everyone was drunk.
