The strongest identity was exposed, and the four emperors of the Navy couldn’t sit still

With the surrender of the last two rebel generals of the Western Liang rebels, Han Sui and Ma Teng, the Liangzhou Rebellion, which had lasted for several months, also officially ended.

For the surrendered Ma Teng and Han Sui, neither Zhang Wen, the supreme commander of the battle, nor Liu Feng, the king of Liaodong, who currently held the highest official position and all-out strength in the counterinsurgency army, could not decide what to do with the two.

However, Liu Feng, who was familiar with history, knew that in later history, the two also participated in the Liangzhou Rebellion, but in the end they were not convicted.

Not only that, Ma Teng even later joined the coalition of princes of the Eighteenth Route Dong.

Looking further back, after Cao Cao took the Son of Heaven to order the princes, Emperor Han Xian’s edict was finally killed by Cao Cao precisely because of Ma Teng’s response.

Then there is the follow-up story of Ma Chao rising up against Cao Cao and finally joining Liu Bei’s camp with defeat.

Therefore, after hearing that Zhang Wen proposed to directly accept the surrender of Ma Teng and Han Sui, and kill the two when they were unprepared, Liu Feng objected.

Liu Feng’s reason was simple, he said to Zhang Wen: “Ma Teng and Han Sui are just one of the victims of this Western Liang Rebellion.

The reason why they joined the rebels was because the rebellion of Li Wenhou and Beigong Boyu was too sudden, causing the two to become hostages without reacting.

Subsequently, because many Han officials who did not agree to join the rebels were killed, the two hostages had no choice but to join the rebels.

However, Ma Teng and Han Sui did not do anything excessive before Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou were killed by Benhou.

Later, after Li Wenhou Beigong Boyu died, the two only led the army to flee back to Liangzhou, rather than resisting stubbornly.

As for defeating the two generals Dong Zhuo and Zhou Shen, and killing many Han generals, it was also for self-preservation.

After all, although they were forced to join the rebels, they still betrayed the big man, so in the case of someone chasing and killing, they will inevitably fight back, otherwise in case the other party does not listen to their explanation and directly starts, won’t they have no way to live? ”

Hearing Liu Feng’s words, Dong Zhuo still said without dying: “Even if they are forced, then after Li Wenhou and Beigong Boyu die, they can surrender directly, why should they run?” ”

In this regard, Liu Feng said: “After all, they have joined the rebels, and although they are forced, they are still afraid of being punished.

If you escape, at least your life will be worry-free, and your freedom will not be restricted.

However, after Benhou captured Ma Chao, Pang De and Yan Xing, one of the two lost his general, and the other lost both the general and the eldest son, so he naturally chose to surrender.

As for the two of them establishing the kingdom as the leader of the rebels, they are just afraid that we will continue to hold on to them and have to continue to resist.

And the kingdom is the one who can nominally protect their reputation.

In short, Benhou said so much for them, not interceding for them.

It’s just that these two people are Liangzhou officials appointed by the emperor after all, and they are still forced to rebel, so Benhou believes that how to deal with them should be decided by the emperor, not whether we privately decide whether they live or die.

Especially after these months of war, there are no more officials in Liangzhou, but Ma Teng and Han Sui are the people who are most familiar with Liangzhou’s military and political affairs.

Therefore, Benhou thinks, these two people may still be useful. ”

Zhang Wen listened to Liu Feng’s words, and finally stopped saying more, but agreed with Liu Feng’s point of view.

So, in the end, Zhang Wen announced: “What the champion Hou said is exactly what we, as courtiers of the Great Han, should consider for the emperor.

If on the battlefield, Ma Teng and Han Sui are stubbornly resisting, then we will kill the two of them on the battlefield, and they will die.

But since the two had surrendered, the old man believed that how to deal with them should indeed be decided by the emperor.

And if we accept their surrender and then we kill them again, how will the world perceive us?

If there is another rebellion in the future, will the enemy dare to surrender?

The champion Hou has the style of a famous general, and he is dedicated to thinking about the emperor, and the old man admires. ”

Subsequently, Zhang Wen prepared a war report and handed it to a scout, who took him to Luoyang to be handed over to Emperor Ling of Han.

When Emperor Han Ling saw the war report, he was very happy that Zhang Wen and Liu Feng were able to quell the rebellion so quickly.

Then he saw the news of Ma Teng and Han Sui’s surrender.

As for how to deal with these two people, Liu Hong had some difficulties in his heart.

After all, the two really betrayed the Great Han and joined the rebels of the Qiang people, and from this point of view, the two really deserved to be killed.

However, according to Liu Feng and Zhang Wen, in addition to self-preservation, the two did not endanger the interests of the Han in the rebels, coupled with the current situation in Liangzhou, Liu Hong was somewhat reluctant to kill the two.

It’s just that if you don’t kill two people, there must be a reason, what reason can save two people and no one objects?

Zhang Rang saw Liu Hong’s embarrassment, so he spoke: “Your Majesty, that Ma Teng is after Fubo’s general Ma Yuan. ”

Zhang Rang’s words made Liu Hong make up his mind to leave the lives of Ma Teng and Han Sui.

The divine decree was transmitted back to Liangzhou, and Zhang Wen saw that Liu Hong really did not order the killing of the two, and even appointed the two as officials of Liangzhou, and he was glad to listen to Liu Feng’s words.

And Liu Feng also returned the upright generals Pound, Yan Xing and Ma Chao to the two.

At this time, whether it was Pang De and the other three captives, or Ma Teng and Han Sui, they already knew that Dong Zhuo originally wanted to kill himself, and it was Liu Feng who tried to protect everyone and leave his life to the emperor.

So everyone was very grateful to Liu Feng.

Especially Ma Chao.

At this time, Ma Chao, who was only nine years old, was still a child, and Liu Feng interceded to save his father’s life, and he was naturally full of good feelings for Liu Feng.

In addition, as a teenager, Ma Chao is also very obsessed with “Journey to the West” written by Liu Feng, and has long wanted to see Liu Feng.

Coupled with the previous siege of Liu Feng by himself, Yan Xing and Pang De, all three were captured by Liu Fengsheng, which made Ma Chao admire Liu Feng even more.

He knew that both Pang De and Yan Xing were already the top martial generals in the world, and Liu Feng’s ability to easily capture them in the state of one enemy and three was indeed more powerful than the legend.

If he could be by Liu Feng’s side and often let him guide his martial arts, then his strength would definitely improve rapidly.

Therefore, after Ma Chao obtained his father’s consent, he found Liu Feng and wanted to worship him as a teacher.

Liu Feng was surprised by this.

As one of the famous Five Tiger Generals in history, Ma Chao’s talent is undoubted, and he became a second-rate peak martial artist at the age of nine.

Unexpectedly, he would want to use himself as a teacher.

Liu Feng did not refuse, he took Ma Chao as an apprentice and returned to Luoyang with him.
