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

Chapter 267 Seizing Power
After seeing this scene, Ma Chao just twitched the corner of his mouth, and continued to flee with a gloomy face.

Although he is brave, he has never been a benevolent person.

Except for a small number of soldiers who were fighting for Ma Teng, most of the soldiers were still fleeing.

Zhao Yun also led the tiger and leopard cavalry to chase for dozens of miles, and he was out of touch with Cao Jun at this moment, and stabbing Ma Teng to death with a single shot was regarded as the completion of the task.

Thousands of people stayed in place and did not continue the pursuit.

When he rode his horse and turned around, he saw Zhao Feng and others walking slowly.

Immediately, he got off his horse and came to Zhao Feng, bowed and said, "My lord, the enemy Ma Teng has been stabbed to death by me!"

Zhao Feng also smiled, with a look of appreciation in his eyes. Zilong is Zilong, and he is still so brave.

Most of the soldiers injured in this battle were Qiang people, and Cao Jun's real damage was only [-].

On the other hand, in Xiliang, there are probably only about [-] troops left this time, and they have already fallen into a complete defeat.

You Sima Yi can't even fight against Kong Ming and still want to play against Zhao Feng?

Just a joke!
Zhao Feng looked at everyone and waved his hands and said, "Okay, clean the battlefield and count the harvest. After the counting is completed, we will settle in Long County to rectify and rest."

The surrounding soldiers all cheered and cast admiring glances at Zhao Feng.

Zhuge Liang and the others on the side showed expressions of incomparable admiration.

"The lord is indeed a talent in the world, we are ashamed of ourselves."

Zhao Feng waved his hands and said with a smile: "It's better to draw fire from the bottom of the pot than to stop the boiling. This battle has already come to a conclusion."

From the beginning of the attack on the Qiang people, Guo Jia had already seized the opportunity, and Guo Jia couldn't help sighing: "It's better to draw the fire from the bottom of the pot!"

In Hanzhong County, the defeated Ma Chao and others fled here.

At this moment, Zhang Lu was also a little apprehensive. Now that Xiliang's army was defeated, he was not optimistic about Ma Chao, but fortunately he remembered his old feelings, and it was not easy to refuse, and Xiliang led the troops to come.

Now that the world belongs to Cao Wei, Zhang Lu has completely turned to Cao Wei, which is also a helpless move.

Ma Chao came directly to the Hanzhong county government office and sat up.

"General Zhang, there has been a lot of trouble here recently."

In the previous battle, Ma Teng was directly stabbed to death by Zhao Yun, and Ma Chao became the leader of Xiliang logically. At the same time, he listened to Sima Yi's words and came to Hanzhong County.

Looking at Ma Chao and the others who came, Zhang Lu took a deep breath, he was getting angry.

As long as Xiliang is in Hanzhong County, Cao Jun will definitely come to attack. Now he has no choice at all.

"Meng Qi, sit down first."

Zhang Lu waved his hand casually, and shouted to the servants: "Come here, serve tea."

Then Zhang Lu turned around to look at Ma Chao and said, "I've heard about your father's matter, please forgive me."

As soon as the words fell, he kept observing Ma Chao's expression, and then his heart began to tremble.

When Ma Chao's father was mentioned, Ma Chao's expression did not change in any way, which immediately chilled Zhang Lu. It seemed that Ma Chao was definitely not a good person.

Originally, Zhao Feng also intended to recruit Ma Chao, but after a short contact, he gave up this idea.

He deserves to be Ma Chao who was able to say shocking things to Han Sui in his previous life.

"Now, Ma Chao abandons his father and takes General Han as his father, and General Han should also abandon his son and takes Ma Chao as his son."

From just this one sentence, we can know that although Ma Chao is brave but not righteous, although he is a fierce general, he cannot be reused.

Zhang Lu sighed deeply, if he knew this, he should have listened to Yan Pu's words and severed his connection with Xiliang.

He looked at Ma Chao in front of him and asked again: "I don't know if Meng Qi will return to Xiliang, what is his plan for coming to my Hanzhong County?"

When asked here, Zhang Lu also became a little nervous.

Ma Chao suddenly laughed, and said lightly: "Now that Cao Jun's [-] troops are stationed in Long County, you and I are already grasshoppers on the same rope."

While speaking, he looked at Sima Yi at the side. Obviously, Sima Yi told this statement.

"In a few days, Cao Jun will lead troops to attack Hanzhong County. It is impossible for you and me to resist Cao Jun."

"Only if we unite together and fight Cao Cao together can we gain a chance of life. If General Zhang can rest assured of me, Ma Chao, and give me the military power, we will definitely be able to repel Cao Jun!"

"General Zhang, you should be able to understand what I mean?"

Ma Chao looked at Zhang Lu with sharp eyes, and the atmosphere suddenly became quiet.

Together with Zhang Lu who was about to drink tea, he also paused at this moment, the teacup in his hand was always on his lips.

Then he put the teacup on the table and squeezed out a smile: "Meng Qi is exhausted from fighting in the past two days, why don't we rest for two days before we discuss it?"

Faced with Ma Chao's frank questioning, he could only change the subject and put off for two days.

Ma Chao smiled lightly and didn't ask any more questions. He stood up and looked at the tea beside him. He had already stopped leaving by now.

He picked up the teacup and drank it down, then bowed to Zhang Lu and said, "Since that's the case, Meng Qi won't disturb General Zhang's thinking anymore. If General Zhang thinks about it, he can inform me at any time."

After finishing speaking, he and Sima Yi turned and left.

Looking at the figures of the two, Zhang Lu let out a breath again, he really led the wolf into the house.

Now Ma Chao is thinking about the military power in his hands, and this time he came here to ask for his military power.

Yan Pu on the side looked at Zhang Lu and said, "Master, this military power must never be handed over to Ma Chao, this son is ambitious, absolutely not!"

Zhang Lu said with a bit of vicissitudes: "How can I not know, but I don't bark, then Ma Chao has plenty of ways to force me."

"Now I have no choice at all."

Yan Pu didn't speak directly, but looked aside, and then wiped Zhang Lu's neck.

"Why don't we make Ma Chao and dedicate it to King Wei!"

Zhang Lu's eyes flickered a little, obviously a little emotional.

But he has no one under him, and it is only because of the natural danger of occupying the mountains and mountains around Hanzhong County that he can stick to it for such a long time.

It's just that it may be difficult to take action against a fierce general like Ma Chao.

Then he shook his head and said, "Wait for a chance."

At the same time, after Ma Chao, who was stationed in Hanzhong County, returned to his residence, Sima Yi immediately stopped him,
Ma Chao asked suspiciously, "Why did Zhong Da call me?"

Sima Yi waved his hands and said, "My lord, please come inside."

Although Ma Chao was a little puzzled, he was not in a hurry. He could understand what Sima Yi meant.

After the two entered the hall, Sima Yi even closed the door of the hall.

Then he looked at Ma Chao with a dignified look and said, "My lord, don't remember what I said."

"Tonight, if Zhang Lu doesn't come and take the initiative to find you, he will raise his troops and slaughter the entire Zhang family, and forcefully control the military power!"

As soon as this remark came out, Ma Chao was a little shocked, he couldn't help but looked at Sima Yi and asked, "Why?"

Sima Yi smiled lightly and said, "Hehe, if he doesn't hand over the military power, it means that Zhang Lu has the heart to murder the lord."

"So, it's better to strike first, maybe Zhang Lu is already starting to murder the lord, so it's better to leave some soldiers in the mansion just in case."
