At this time, Pang De suddenly walked up to Liu Zhang and immediately knelt on the ground.
"Lord! The last general will replace the horse... Thank you so much, Lord!"
After saying that, Pang De kowtowed three times.
Liu Zhang did not stop him, but waited for Pang De to kowtow before helping him up.
Pang De is a man who values friendship very much. Liu Zhang letting Ma Chao go this time can be regarded as repaying Pound for Ma Teng's life.
"Ling Ming, it doesn't have to be like this!"
"Don't worry, my lord, if Ma Chao becomes an enemy of my lord again in the future, the general will definitely chop off his head with his own hands!"
Pang De's face was extremely serious, and his eyes showed determination.
No matter what Liu Zhang's purpose was in letting Ma Chao go, Pound accepted Liu Zhang's kindness.
At this moment, Pound was completely satisfied.
Liu Zhang was so benevolent and righteous, which not only prevented Pang De from congratulating himself on his determination to join Liu Zhang, but also greatly enhanced his determination to die for Liu Zhang.
"Ling Ming, you are not afraid of Feng Da flashing your tongue!"
At this moment, a burst of angry shouting came from not far away.
Then a dark figure galloped over, quickly passed through the crowd, and rode up to Liu Zhang.
"this..."
Everyone, including Liu Zhang, was stunned and looked at the man on the horse in astonishment.
"Big... eldest son?"
It's Ma Chao who has gone and returned!
Ma Chao raised an eyebrow and looked at Pang De jokingly.
"Ling Ming, although you are very brave, it is not that easy to kill me!"
"Young Master, you... what are you doing?"
If Ma Chao said that he had forgotten something and came back to get it, Pang De would not believe it anyway.
unless. . . !
Liu Zhang also looked at Ma Chao with hope. He was also waiting for that moment that would make people overjoyed.
Ma Chao turned over and dismounted, exhaled heavily, and then walked up to Liu Zhang.
"I wonder what General Wei thinks of Ma Chao?"
Liu Zhang showed a warm smile, and then borrowed a passage from Zhuge Liang in history.
"Meng Qi has both civil and military talents, and Xiong Lie is outstanding! If he can follow the right path, he will be a great man in his lifetime! He cannot be compared to either Ting Bu or Peng Yue!"
Ma Chao's eyes lit up, and then he asked Liu Zhang again.
"How do Tingbu and Peng Yue compare with my ancestor Ma Yuan?"
Ma Chao's question put Liu Zhang in a bit of a dilemma.
He is not belittling Ting Bu and Peng Yue, nor is he belittling Ma Yuan.
However, in Liu Zhang's heart, Ma Yuan was inferior to Ting Bu and Peng Yue.
Especially when it comes to fighting on the battlefield, Ma Yuan is not even the slightest bit worse.
However, when it comes to political acumen and inner wisdom, whether it is Ting Bu or Peng Yue, it is difficult to flatter a horse and help him.
After thinking for a long time, Liu Zhang came up with a compromise.
"Each has his or her own merits, but they are all top heroes of the Han Dynasty!"
Ma Chao nodded, Liu Zhang's answer made him very satisfied.
"I would like to ask General Wei, how does Guangwu Liu Xiu compare to our great ancestor Liu Bang?"
Suddenly, Liu Zhang's spirit was shaken, and he suddenly burst out with domineering, confident, and surrounded him.
"Four hundred years ago, Emperor Gaozu destroyed the Qin Dynasty and created the Han Dynasty after slaying Xiang Yu. Two hundred years ago, Guangwu wiped out Wang Mang in times of crisis and finally restored the glory of the Han Dynasty!"
"Today, another two hundred years have passed since Guangwu Zhongxing!"
"The Yellow Turban Rebellion, Dong Zhuo's political chaos, and the separatism of heroes have caused the world to fall apart. It's time to revive the Han Dynasty again!"
If this question were asked from someone else, Liu Zhang would humbly say that he was not as good as his ancestors.
But the person who raised this question was Ma Chao. Not only could Liu Zhang not be humble, but he had to show even greater courage!
A flash of tremor flashed in Ma Chao's eyes, and he was truly impressed by Liu Zhang's confident aura.
Ambitious, look down upon the world!
Ma Chao couldn't help but feel excited about it, and at this moment he finally decided where he would end up.
thump.
In everyone's shocked eyes, Ma Chao suddenly knelt down in front of Liu Zhang.
"Ma Chao, the guilty general, repeatedly resisted the king's master. This is a crime that cannot be punished!"
"Fortunately, General Wei has forgiven me. Instead of holding Ma Chao accountable for his crimes, he has personally bowed down to fight against him. Ma Chao is deeply moved!"
"If General Wei does not give up, Ma Chao is willing to submit to General Wei and serve loyally until death!"
"From now on, Ma Chao will never complain if General Wei orders him to do so, regardless of swords, mountains or seas of fire!"
Everyone's jaw dropped again. Liu Zhang tried to persuade Ma Chao sincerely for a long time, but he got the result that Ma Chao would rather die than surrender.
Unexpectedly, after letting him go, Ma Chao ran back again, and even knelt down in front of Liu Zhang to express his surrender.
Isn’t this Ma Chao too cheap?
I can't persuade him with nice words, I have to drive him away before I stick him back!
"Hahaha! Meng Qi, please get up quickly!"
However, Liu Zhang didn't care and quickly helped Ma Chao who was kneeling on the ground.
For Liu Zhang, as long as Ma Chao can surrender, he doesn't care about the process!
It is said that Ma Chao is unruly and unruly. After this incident, Ma Chao must have completely returned to his heart!
The generals that Liu Bei did not dare to use were destined to shine in the hands of Liu Zhang!
Seeing Liu Zhang's heartfelt joy, Ma Chao still lowered his head in shame.
"Ma Chao, thank you, lord!"
Liu Zhang was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear.
"To have Meng Qi now is like adding wings to a tiger! Who among the rebels in the world can be the opponent of our Yizhou Army!"
Ma Chao suddenly became energetic and immediately expressed his strong fighting spirit.
"Ma Chao is determined to destroy all the rebels in the world, assist the master to unify the world, and revive the Han Dynasty!"
Liu Zhang had a smile on his face and kept nodding his head to express his relief.
After going through many hardships, he finally gained Ma Chao's allegiance!
The old wish of intercepting the Five Tiger Generals has finally been fulfilled!
Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun, Ma Chao!
Liu Zhang couldn't help but feel excited when he thought that all the civil servants and generals he had cherished for the past thirty years were under his command.
The annihilation of Han Sui and the surrender of the Ma family became Liu Zhang's biggest gain when he left Hanzhong in the north!
"Congratulations, lord!"
Taishi Ci and Pang De both had smiles on their faces and bowed their hands at the same time to congratulate Liu Zhang.
Especially Pound, as if he had drunk honey water, he smiled even happier than Liu Zhang.
Taishi Ci's previous anger and malice had long since disappeared, replaced by sincere joy.
Taishi Ci knew very well how powerful Ma Chao was, and he was also happy that Liu Zhang conquered Ma Chao.
"General Taishi Ci, I have offended you many times before. I hope you will forgive me, General!"
Ma Chao turned to look at Tai Shi Ci and quickly saluted to express his apology.
"General Ma doesn't have to be like this!"
Taishi Ci did not show any pretense and returned the gift immediately.
"Everyone will be under the lord's tent from now on. I hope General Ma will give me some advice!"
Ma Chao was frightened and expressed his daring repeatedly.
Not long ago, the two people were fighting to the death, but now they are close friends. It can be said that things are unpredictable!
Although the process was full of twists and turns and experienced various difficulties, fortunately, in the end, it was all hardships and joy, and we got the most perfect ending!
However, in this extremely warm scene, there was a person standing aside in embarrassment, anxiously waiting for Liu Zhang's trial.
This person is none other than Han Sui's military advisor, Cheng Gongying.
