Zhang Lu was named the prefect of Hanzhong.

This angel was sent by Liu Xie and sealed by Zhang Lu.

Although Zhang Lu was the prefect of Hanzhong before, he inherited his father's career.

In troubled times, there is no imperial edict.

Therefore, Zhang Lu, the prefect of Hanzhong, was justifiable when this imperial decree was issued.

Zhang Lu was naturally overjoyed.

Likewise, Zhang Lu entertained the angels with a very expensive ceremony.

Originally, nothing happened.

One came to read the imperial decree, and the other hosted a banquet.

It's over, Zhang Lu is a serious Hanzhong prefect, and the angel also returned to Chengdu to return to his order.

But this angel is a bit cheap.

At the banquet, the angel drank a little too much, and when it was Ma Chao's turn to toast, he even spoke out to provoke Ma Chao.

"Hey, isn't this the Shenweitian general Ma Mengqi from Liangzhou?"

"I remember that when Lord Cao's letter arrived in Liangzhou, General Ma dismissed it, and it was Ning She's father's order to kill Han Sui and others, and rule Liangzhou."

"It is said that General Ma once said that if he wins and dares to attack Liangzhou, he will never come back."

"But in the end, General Ma lost [-] troops in the battle of Long County alone. Even his fiancée, brother, sister, and general under his command were all thrown to Yingwu, and he fled to Hanzhong alone."

"Nowadays, Zhang Taishou of Hanzhong understands current affairs and returns power to the emperor. Aren't you, Ma Chao, a general under the emperor's command in the end?"

"Hahaha, those who don't understand current affairs will still be unable to escape the situation of current affairs in the end."

Being ridiculed by the angel, Ma Chao blushed and couldn't step down at all.

In particular, seeing the angel squinting his eyes and looking down on Ma Chao made Ma Chao very angry.

Ma Chao also drank a lot of wine, and immediately became vicious.

Who am I, Ma Chao? How can I allow you, an unknown person, to laugh at me?

So Ma Chao pulled out the sword from his waist and stabbed it into the angel's heart.

"Ah..." Angel did not expect that Ma Chao would dare to kill him. He is the Son of Heaven, and to kill him is to attack the Son of Heaven, which is tantamount to rebellion.

Everyone at the banquet was also taken aback.

Ma Chao actually killed the angel?

Is Ma Chao trying to rebel?

Zhang Lu even stood up with a "huh" and pointed at Ma Chao in shock: "Meng Qiyou...you have caused a big disaster."

Ma Chao drew out his long sword, kicked the angel's body down, and returned the sword to its sheath.

"Huh..." Ma Chao sneered, "One person does the work and the other person is responsible. I, Ma Chao, killed the person, and it has nothing to do with the lord."

"If the emperor sends a large army to suppress, my lord only needs to hand over me, Ma Chao, to keep Hanzhong safe and sound."

"The last general is too drunk to drink, so I will take my leave first, my lord forgive me."

After finishing speaking, Ma Chao walked out of the banquet hall in a hurry.

Then Zhang Lu came to the angel in a hurry, squatted down, and probed under the angel's nose with his fingers, and he was really breathless.

"Dead, the angel is dead." Zhang Lu was stunned for a while, the incident was too sudden.

Although, Zhang Lu was also a vassal of the separatist side, and he was not afraid of Liu Zhang's attack.

However, the current situation is completely different.

The emperor controlled the territory of Yizhou, Jingnan and Jiangdong. It is said that under Zhuge Liang's hard work, the ethnic minorities in the southern part of Yizhou also agreed to submit to the emperor.

Therefore, the strength of the emperor Liu Xie is by no means something that a small Hanzhong County can compete with.

Just when Zhang Lu was at a loss, Bie Yanpu came to his side and said in a low voice: "My lord, the news of this matter must be blocked, and it cannot reach Chengdu for the time being."

Yes, yes, yes, Zhang Lu immediately reacted, and immediately ordered to block the news.

If someone dares to pass on the news to the outside world, everyone will be executed.

Then, Zhang Lu gave another order to collect the angel's body.

A joyful welcome banquet turned out to be such a result, no one could have imagined.

The angel humiliated Ma Chao drunk, a bit courting death, but no one dared to say that.

Everyone is waiting to see how Zhang Lu will handle this matter.

Chapter 225 Ma Chao kills Zhang Lu and occupies Hanzhong

night.

In the prefect's mansion.

study.

Zhang Lu's face was gloomy.

On the left and right are important civil and military personnel under Zhang Lu's command.

On the left are civil servants, namely Yan Pu and Yang Song.

On the right are generals, namely Zhang Wei and Yang Bai.

In addition, Zhang Lu also has two generals, Yang Ang and Yang Ren, who are not in Nanzheng City right now.

Zhang Lu glanced at the four people, and asked calmly: "Meng Qi killed the angel, you all witnessed this with your own eyes."

"Although the angel was drunk and taunted Meng Qi, it was a big mistake for Meng Qi to kill the angel."

"Killing an angel is like rebelling, and it is not tolerated by the world."

"The current situation is like this. I wonder what you can do to resolve this matter?"

resolve?

The angel has been killed by Ma Chao, how can it be resolved?

Zhang Wei is Zhang Lu's younger brother, and in Hanzhong, he is definitely the second in command.

Therefore, Zhang Wei was the first to speak: "Brother, in my opinion, there are only two roads to go in Hanzhong."

"First, expel Ma Chao, plead guilty to the emperor, and put all the blame on Ma Chao."

"After all, the angel was indeed killed by Ma Chao. Presumably His Majesty will not blame him."

"Second, submit the land of Hanzhong to Daqin."

"Qin and Han are not at odds, and sooner or later there will be a war."

"And the current situation is that Qin is strong and Han is weak, and my land in Hanzhong surrenders to Daqin, which can be regarded as taking advantage of the trend."

In fact, on the issue of returning to the Han or returning to the Qin, Zhang Wei has always been inclined to return to the Great Qin.

This time, Ma Chao killed the angel just to give Zhang Wei another excuse.

Yan Pu sighed slightly: "Second General, have you ever thought about what will happen to Ma Chao if I choose the second road in Hanzhong?"

"..." Zhang Wei was speechless for a while.

Yes, Ma Chao was defeated by Yingwu just now, his fiancée, brother, sister, and generals under his command all surrendered to Yingwu.

More importantly, Han Sui's descendants also surrendered to Yingwu.

What's more, Yingwu also sent someone to say that he would buy Ma Chao's head with a thousand gold.

This also means that it is impossible for Ma Chao to surrender and win Wu anyway.

To surrender is to die.

Zhang Wei snorted coldly: "It's just a reckless horse, don't worry about it, just drive him away tomorrow."

Zhang Lu said: "But, I have already announced to Hanzhong that I will betroth Yanran to Ma Chao."

"If Ma Chao is expelled here, won't people in the world say that I, Zhang Lu, have broken my promise?"

Zhang Wei rolled his eyes for a while: "My brother, it's one moment and another moment."

"Ma Chao killed an angel, he is a traitor. Does my brother insist on marrying Yanran to a traitor?"

"Besides, this marriage was originally inappropriate, and now it just happens to be abolished."

Yang Song rolled his eyes and smiled slightly: "My lord, what the second general said is true, my lord, think twice."

Zhang Lu looked at Yan Pu again, who also nodded: "My lord, Ma Chao has the heart of a tiger and a wolf, so we must guard against it."

"According to the detailed report, this man was able to disregard the life of his father Ma Teng and rashly killed Han Sui and others, so that Ma Teng was killed by Han Sui and others."

"It seems that Ma Teng was killed by Han Sui and others, but in fact he died at the hands of Ma Chao."

"This person can even kill his own father, who will he be loyal to?"

"Thus, although this person has courage, he is not loyal and cannot be used."

Hearing that everyone was extremely repulsive to Ma Chao, Zhang Lu finally realized that he cared too much about Ma Chao's bravery and neglected Ma Chao's character.

"Okay." Zhang Lu also made up his mind, "As everyone wishes, we will expel Ma Chao tomorrow morning."

"Then, I will submit another memorial to plead guilty to His Majesty."

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion outside.

Zhang Lu frowned slightly, and shouted: "Yang Bai, go outside and see what happened?"

"The general obeys orders." Yang Bai responded, got up and went outside to have a look.

Suddenly, a soldier rushed in with an anxious expression on his face: "My lord, something is wrong. Ma Chao rebelled. He led his army into the prefect's mansion and killed everyone he saw."

"Ah..." Everyone was shocked.

Ma Chao rebelled?

Zhang Lu suddenly stood up and shouted angrily: "Ma Chao is really a beast, I treat him so kindly, yet he still wants to rebel, it's really outrageous."

Yan Pu sighed slightly: "My lord, Ma Chao is brave and invincible, and he is taking the initiative to plot against the lord. We can't compete with him, but we can temporarily avoid his edge and leave here."

"After rectifying the troops and horses, it will not be too late to kill these ungrateful thieves."

Zhang Wei immediately said: "Brother, you leave the prefect's mansion quickly, and my younger brother and Yang Bai go to block Ma Chao."

Zhang Lu nodded: "Second brother, you must be careful."

"Ma Chao is brave, you must not fight head-on with him, you should keep your useful body, and it will not be too late to gather an army to kill this thief in the future."

"Little brother knows, brother, let's go." Zhang Lu drew out his long sword, took Yang Bai, and rushed out.

Zhang Lu, Yan Pu and Yang Song didn't dare to stay for long, so they immediately called Zhang Yanran and prepared to leave the prefect's mansion.

However, it's too late.

Ma Chao came prepared and led [-] elite soldiers, each of whom was a ten-for-one soldier, and they were not at all unstoppable by the soldiers of the prefect's mansion.

Zhang Wei and Yang Bai rushed over, and within a few rounds, they were killed by Ma Chao.

Without the command of Zhang Wei and Yang Bai, the guards of the prefect's mansion naturally couldn't stop Ma Chao's army from fighting, and they all fled in defeat.

As a result, Zhang Lu and others were stopped by Ma Chao before they could escape.

Seeing that Zhang Lu couldn't escape, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and stepped forward: "Ma Chao, I have treated you well, why are you turning against me?"

Ma Chaoyue came out from the crowd and sneered: "Zhang Lu, with your ability, can you still defend Hanzhong?"

"Do you think that I, Ma Chao, will really be willing to use you and be driven by you when I take refuge in you?"

"Sooner or later, I will kill you and replace you, but because of the angel, it was earlier."

"You..." Zhang Lu was ashamed and angry, pointing his right hand at Ma Chao, trembling with anger, "Ma Chao, you really have the heart of a tiger and a wolf, a snake and a scorpion, I... I'm really blind, and I want to marry my daughter to you .”

Ma Chao laughed loudly and said, "Zhang Lu, it's your old eyes that are dim, who's to blame."

"Zhang Lu, you can go on the road with peace of mind. I will take good care of your precious daughter for you."

Zhang Lu sighed: "It was I, Zhang Lu, who had no eyes and no eyes, and led wolves into the house, so that he harmed himself, all of you, and the people of Hanzhong."
