Liu Zhe looked at Ma Chao and said, "General Zhengnan has left Xudu safely and is about to arrive here."

"How is that possible?" After hearing this, Ma Chao was still unbelievable. Cao Cao detained Ma Teng with bad intentions. Liu Zhe is now attacking Yongzhou and Cao Cao has become a villain. Why did Cao Cao let Ma Teng go?

No matter how Ma Chao thought so, he could not guess what happened.

Liu Zhe said: "Anyway, don't worry. I can guarantee you that General Zhengnan is very safe and will definitely arrive here safely."

"Really?" Ma Chao suddenly felt a little suspicious when he saw Liu Zhe swearing. The idea of ​​fake Liu Zhe emerged again.

"If my father is really safe, I will consider surrendering to you."

Ma Chao did not fully believe Liu Zhe's words, but did not say that Ma Teng would surrender to Liu Zhe without any trouble. He looked at Liu Zhe and said, "But I want to see my father before I can talk about it."

In fact, Ma Chao was desperate. Qi County fell into Han Sui's hands. The door to go home was closed and surrounded by a large army. Surrender was actually Ma Chao's best choice.

If his father Ma Teng could really come back from Xu Du safely, it would be impossible for Ma Chao to surrender to Liu Zhe. Although Ma Chao was arrogant and arrogant, he would not have seen tens of thousands of subordinates die in vain.

"good."

Liu Zhe naturally knew that he couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry, not to mention that Ma Chao's favorability towards him had increased a lot.

"Master!"

Guan Yu spoke from the side. He watched Ma Chao and others retreat into Yunyang County, dissatisfied with Liu Zhe's attitude towards Ma Chao, and said, "This son is arrogant and rude to the lord. Why should the lord be polite to him? If you recruit this son, wait for a certain family to capture him."

"Lord, Zilong is also willing to fight and capture Ma Chao." Zhao Yun also spoke. He followed Liu Zhe and asked Zhang Liao to stay at Tongguan.

"Lord, is this person special about Ma Chao?" Guo Jia was also very curious. Jia Xu was left in Chang'an, and he followed Liu Zhe to come here.

When Guo Jia asked, the others also pricked up their ears, wanting to hear what Ma Chao is so great that it is worth Liu Zhe's treatment of him like this.

How could Liu Zhe tell the truth? Sponsoring Ma Chao is just his evil ambition and wants to collect the five tiger generals of Qi.

Otherwise, it is possible that I will return to the modern era in the future and show off to others. When I returned to the Three Kingdoms period, I even collected the Five Tiger Generals.

Of course, even if this reason is revealed, Liu Zhe felt that his subordinates would never believe it.

So, Liu Zhe's face did not blush and his heart started to talk nonsense.

Liu Zhe asked, "Fengxiao, what do you think of Liangzhou?"

"Um..." If this question is Jia Xu, it will be easy to answer. If Guo Jia comes, Guo Jia will have to think about it for a while.

"The people in Liangzhou are fierce, and most of them do not follow the laws of the king. When the Central Plains is in chaos, Liangzhou is also in chaos and thieves are everywhere, and wars are rising."

Liu Zhe took over and said, "It is naturally easy to conquer Liangzhou, but it is difficult to manage Liangzhou. Ma Teng is a local rich man in Liangzhou and has a high prestige in Liangzhou."

Ma Teng rebelled several times in Liangzhou, but was eventually recruited. This was a forced court because Ma Teng had a high prestige.

"So the lord wants to recruit Ma Chao and want to govern Liangzhou through Ma Chao?"

When Guo Jia heard Liu Zhe's words, he naturally understood Liu Zhe's meaning with his talent. Ma Teng was imprisoned by Cao Cao, so Liu Zhe transferred his target to Ma Chao.

"That's right!"

Liu Zhe secretly praised Guo Jia, and he was really good at cooperating and continued: "If you cannot appease the people of Liangzhou, then the war will only drag us down."

"I don't want to abandon Ma Chao because of his arrogant attitude, which will lead to the inability to stabilize Liangzhou in the future and implicate the people. In this case, I will not be worthy of being a good lord."

"What's more, Ma Chao is very skilled in martial arts and a young hero, so he deserves my courtesy."

Liu Zhe's words made his subordinates secretly convinced him, thinking that Liu Zhe was great and willing to lower his identity for the sake of the people of Liangzhou. So everyone said in unison: "My lord is thinking deeply, and we can't wait."

When Liu Zhe heard this, his face turned right and said, "So, I have recruited Ma Chao in the future. I also hope that everyone can live in peace with him and benefit the people of the world together."

"We obey our order..."

Liu Zhe fooled his subordinates and pulled the matter over, so that his subordinates' dissatisfaction disappeared, and he led his troops back to the camp. Ma Teng didn't arrive for a while.

During this period, Liu Zhe had other arrangements.

That is, before Ma Teng came back, he would send troops first, attack Liangzhou, and capture Liangzhou in his hands. As for this task, Liu Zhe did not intend to take action himself, but handed it over to Guan Yu.

Guan Yu was stationed in Fengyi County for many years, and his target was originally Yongzhou. However, after Liu Zhe took action, Yongzhou won it without much effort, while Guan Yu was ordered by him to surround Ma Chao.

To be precise, Liu Zhe robbed Guan Yu of the contribution of capturing Yongzhou. Although Guan Yu was not dissatisfied with it, he was extremely grateful to Liu Zhe for being able to conquer Yongzhou within one month.
