"I, Zhang Lu, are guilty. I, Zhang Lu, deserve to die, but I cannot die at the hands of villains like Ma Chao."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Lu pulled out the saber from his waist, and cut himself with the sword.

Zhang Lu can be regarded as a generation of heroes, and he lost his life in vain because of his inaccuracy in knowing people.

Looking at Zhang Lu's body, Yan Pu felt sad for a while.

As soon as Yang Song rolled his eyes, he immediately bowed to Ma Chao: "Yang Song pays homage to the Lord."

Ma Chao laughed loudly: "Yan Pu, what about you?"

Yan Pu smiled coldly, turned his head away, and ignored Ma Chao.

It means, kill as much as you like, and stop talking nonsense.

Chapter 226 Zhang Yanran Changan Begging to Win Wu

backyard.

A servant girl hurried over and said to Zhang Yanran, "Miss, something is wrong."

"Ma Chao suddenly rebelled and led his troops into the prefect's mansion, killing everyone he saw."

"General Zhang Wei, General Yang Bai, they were all killed. Even the master...the master...he also swung his sword and killed himself."

"Ah..." Zhang Yanran almost fainted after hearing the bad news.

The maid hurriedly said: "Then Ma Chao also said that if he wants to take care of the young lady for the master, he is probably coveting the beauty of the young lady."

Zhang Yanran said bitterly: "Ma Chao killed my uncle and forced my father to death. I have an utter hatred with him, how can I commit myself to him."

"If he dares to come, he will die, or I will die."

The maid sighed: "Miss, Ma Chao is so brave, even the Second Master is not his opponent, how can Miss kill him?"

"Miss, as a servant, before Ma Chao comes, Miss hurried out of the mansion and left Hanzhong."

"My maidservant heard that Ma Chao has a grudge against Yingwu. Miss can go to Yingwu and invite soldiers to avenge the master."

Zhang Yanran frowned slightly: "But now that the prefect's mansion is in chaos, I definitely won't be able to escape."

The maid said: "Miss, you can change clothes with the servant, maybe you can get out."

"But you..." Zhang Yanran was shocked and looked at the maid.

The maid sighed: "This servant is an orphan, picked up by the master and brought up."

"Miss treats the servants like sisters, and she has great kindness to the servants."

"Today, let the servant repay this kindness, otherwise the servant will die with regret."

Zhang Yanran is still hesitating.

The maid hurriedly persuaded: "Miss, don't hesitate any longer, otherwise, when Ma Chao comes, the lady will die, and so will the servant."

"It's better to let one person die than both the young lady and the servants."

"In this case, if Miss can invite Qin Jun to kill Ma Chao, it can be regarded as avenging the servant."

"Otherwise, if we are all dead, who can take revenge?"

Without hesitation, Zhang Yanran immediately changed clothes with the maid.

The two had just changed their clothes when Ma Chao broke into the backyard.

Zhang Yanran was wearing a maid's clothes, grabbed a handful of dirt on the ground, and wiped it on her face.

In addition to the dark sky, no one paid attention to Zhang Yanran.

Ma Chao rushed straight to Zhang Yanran's residence and saw the maid.

Ok?

Ma Chao immediately frowned, looked the maidservant up and down, and couldn't help being furious: "With such beauty, it's really a vain name to be one of the three beauties of Yizhou."

"With this kind of beauty, they are not worthy of carrying shoes for Rong'er, Yun Lu, Han Yan'er, and Dong Bai."

"Zhang Lu, an old man, deliberately married his daughter to me, and he really didn't have good intentions."

"How can I, Ma Chao, like this kind of beauty?"

"Come here, take Zhang Yanran away and reward the soldiers who have made great achievements."

The servant girl's complexion changed, and she shouted angrily: "Ma Chao, you killed my uncle and forced my father to death, and now you want to humiliate me, how can I let you do what you want."

"Ma Chao, if you kill my whole family, even if I'm a ghost, I won't let you go."

After saying that, the servant girl rushed forward and slammed into the wall heavily, dying of anger immediately.

"Unlucky..." Ma Chao frowned, and said coldly, "Order to kill all the men in the prefect's mansion, leaving no one behind, so as to avoid future troubles."

"Gather all the women, kill the ugly ones, and save the beautiful ones."

Immediately, the backyard of the prefect's mansion was thrown into chaos again, and more than half of them died. Only a dozen beautiful young women survived by chance.

Among them, there are maids and Zhang Lu's concubines.

Zhang Yanran escaped.

Even more fortunately, Zhang Yanran got a horse, even in the name of Zhang Lu, called the city gate open, left Nanzheng at night, and headed straight for Chang'an.

Early the next morning, when Ma Chao learned from Zhang Lu's concubine who served him last night that the woman who slammed into the wall and committed suicide last night was not Zhang Yanran, he realized that he had been tricked by Zhang Yanran.

Ma Chao was furious, and immediately sent someone to chase and kill Zhang Yanran.

But it was already too late, almost all the people sent by Ma Chao were about to leave Hanzhong, and Zhang Yanran hadn't been seen yet.

These people had to give up and return to Nanzheng to report to Ma Chao.

Although Ma Chao was angry, he had no choice but to control Hanzhong County first.

But Zhang Yanran ran all the way to Chang'an, claiming to be Zhang Lu's daughter, and asked to see Yingwu.

The news from Hanzhong has not reached Chang'an yet.

When Ying Wu heard that Zhang Lu's daughter asked to see him, he couldn't help feeling strange, so he ordered someone to bring her here.

"Little girl Zhang Yanran, I met General Ying."

Zhang Yanran was born with a beautiful face and beautiful appearance, she is not inferior to the women in the Empress of Wu, she is definitely worthy of the title of "Three Beauties of Yizhou".

Seeing that Zhang Yanran was wearing a maidservant's clothes, she was even more embarrassed, Ying Wu ruled out the possibility that she came to assassinate her.

Thinking about Ma Chao's vote for Zhang Lu, Yingwu immediately concluded that something happened in Hanzhong.

"Miss Zhang, please get up." Ying Wu waved his hand and gave him a little support.

"Thank you, General Ying." Zhang Yanran stood up and raised her head, "To report to General Ying, Ma Chao was ambitious and pretended to defect, but suddenly attacked and killed the little girl's family."

"The little girl escaped alone, thinking that the world is so big, only General Win can avenge the little girl's blood."

"General Qiu Ying can avenge the little girl." After speaking, Zhang Yanran knelt down again, with tears in her eyes, "The little girl is willing to be an ox and a horse, to repay General Ying's great kindness."

Ying Wu sighed slightly, and said, "Miss Zhang, please get up."

Zhang Yanran cried and said: "If General Ying refuses to agree to this matter, the little girl will not be able to kneel forever."

If it's someone else, Yingwu really doesn't like this.

But it's another matter if the opponent is Ma Chao.

Ying Wu nodded: "Miss Zhang is very filial, if your father knows it, he will smile at Jiuquan?"

"Miss Zhang, please get up. I promise to kill Ma Chao and avenge your father and uncle."

Zhang Yanran was overjoyed, and kowtowed to Yingwu a few more times: "Thank you General Ying, thank you General Ying."

Then, Zhang Yanran stood up.

Ying Wu looked at Zhang Yanran: "Miss Zhang, please stay in Chang'an with peace of mind. After I send a spy to find out the situation in Hanzhong, I will discuss the matter of dispatching troops."

Zhang Yanran cupped her hands and said, "Your servant obeys the general's orders."

"Hehe..." Ying Wu said with a smile, "Miss Zhang, you are also the daughter of a prince, so you don't have to lower yourself and call yourself a slave."

Of course Zhang Yanran didn't want to be a real servant, so she immediately agreed: "Little girl obeys the general's orders."

Therefore, Zhang Yanran temporarily lived in Chang'an City.

As for Yingwu, he sent a large number of spies to Hanzhong County to inquire about the news.

Qin Jun took Hanzhong, but because of Ma Chao, it was put on the agenda ahead of schedule.

Chapter 227 With this 50 army, why be afraid of that strong Qin Ye

The change in Hanzhong soon spread to Chengdu.

Ma Chao killed Angel, then Zhang Lu, and occupied Hanzhong?

This news made Liu Xie furious.

This was the first setback he encountered after taking power, and the imperial power was severely challenged.

During the court meeting, Liu Xie talked about the matter and said: "My dear friends, I want to send troops to attack Ma Chao. With the majesty of the whole emperor, I don't know what you think about it?"

Ma Chao provoked the Han Dynasty like this, killed the angels, killed the big officials who sealed the border, and established himself on the basis of Hanzhong, he should definitely be crusaded.

Cao Cao felt that something was wrong, so he immediately came out and said, "Report to Your Majesty, the old minister thinks something is wrong."

Liu Xie's eyes flashed brightly, and he asked lightly: "The former general, what advice do you have?"

In the past, Liu Xie was very angry with Cao Cao when he was forced by Cao Cao to coerce the emperor to order the princes.

But this time, Cao Cao definitely contributed a lot to the reason why Liu Xie was able to take over the imperial power, and it is said that the grievances should be offset.

However, Liu Xie believed that this was not Cao Cao's original intention, but because he was forced to be helpless and beaten by Ying Wu so that he could not survive, so he handed over his hand and returned to power.

Cao Cao's purpose is to gather all possible forces in the name of him, the emperor, to fight Yingwu to the death.

So, Liu Xie still doesn't like to see Cao Cao, it's just that he can get by on the whole.

Cao Cao didn't care about this, as long as he could stop Yingwu from dominating the world.

Otherwise, Cao Cao really couldn't play anymore, he could only roll his eyes and reincarnate early.

"My Majesty, the current situation is that Han is weak and Qin is strong."

"The battle between Qin and Han will happen soon."

"The Qin army is fighting against Xiliang, and after that, they will fight a life-and-death battle with me, a big man."

"My big Han is already weaker than the strong Qin. If I waste my troops in Hanzhong, it is definitely not a wise move. Please think twice, Your Majesty."

Although Liu Xie didn't want to see Cao Cao, he had to admit that Cao Cao was right.

"Situ, what do you mean?" Liu Xie turned to look at Liu Zhang.

Right now, among the important officials, Sun Yi is in Jiangdong, Liu Bei is in Jingnan, only Cao Cao and Liu Zhang are in Chengdu, as well as Zhongji and Prince Fu.

Zhong Ji and Wang Zifu, one was named Zhi Jinwu by Liu Xie as one of the nine ministers, and the other was named Da Si Nong by Liu Xie.

How could Liu Zhang have any idea, cupped his hands and said: "The veteran also thinks that General Cao's words are reasonable, please learn from your Majesty."

Liu Xie looked at Zhong Ji and Wang Zifu again, and they both nodded to him.

So, Liu Xie no longer had any doubts, and nodded: "In this case, according to General Cao's words, temporarily hold back the troops in Hanzhong."

Cao Cao smiled slightly, and said: "Your Majesty, although I am a big man who will stand still against Hanzhong, Yingwu will not stand still against Hanzhong."

"I'll report it in detail, Ma Han's descendants have all taken refuge in Yingwu."

"That Yingwu is really capable, and he directed the hatred between Ma and Han to Ma Chao."

"So, in order to appease both Ma and Han, Yingwu will definitely attack Hanzhong."

"The land of Hanzhong is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Although the Qin army is numerous, it is difficult to overcome it in a hurry."

"In this way, my big man will have more time to prepare. This is why God helped me big man."

Liu Xie nodded: "What General Cao said is true."

"Situ, I don't know how the recruiting situation is going?"

If Liu Xie wants to fight Yingwu decisively, the number of troops is indispensable.
