Chapter 160 Forced
The surrender of the Qiang infantry also declared that the battle in Liangzhou was coming to an end.
The Qiang and Hu cavalry who fled in all directions ran for a while and were caught up by the Han cavalry led by Commander Zhao, so they would naturally not be lenient when facing the enemy Han army.
The Han knights were possessed by the gods of war, and they cut melons and vegetables to these Qianghu cavalry who had become frightened birds.
Although the Qiang and Hu cavalry also had some resistance.
But shortly after the battle, although they had more people than the Han army, they still had morale because of Mo Ye's death in the battle.
What's even more terrible is.
They had just started fighting with the Han army, and suddenly another large Han cavalry broke out in the west of the city.
"surrender!"
"We surrender!"
This Han cavalry was Guan Xing in the dense forest in the west of the city. After the cooperation of Guan Xing and Chen Dao, they fought in the dense forest for half an hour and finally defeated the more than 5,000 Qiang and Hu cavalry. The bearded Qiang general also died under Guan Xing's spear.
After killing this Qiang and Hu cavalry, Guan Xing immediately led his subordinates to fight towards Liangzhou City again before he could stop. He happened to meet the defeated Qiang and Hu soldiers who were hunted by Zhao Tong.
Originally they wanted to resist, but as Guan Xing came with the cavalry of the Han Dynasty, they were no longer willing to resist, and the commander was dead. If they still had a chance to escape, they would of course choose to escape, but if they had nowhere to escape, they might as well choose to surrender.
Qiang and Hu cavalry surrendered.
The Battle of Liangzhou, which was about twenty days at once, officially ended, and the Qiang and Hu were completely defeated.
Liangzhou Governor's Office.
Zhuge Liang sat high in the first seat.
The one who started was Ma Tianxiao, the governor of Liangzhou. His face was not very good at this moment, because although the siege of Liangzhou was lifted, the entire city defense of Liangzhou has been taken over by the Han army.
This does not mean that Zhuge Liang took the opportunity to seize Liangzhou, but because Liangzhou had only four or five thousand troops left at this time.
Zhuge Liang was also kind-hearted and temporarily asked the Han army to take over the city defense to prevent chaos after the war.
It sounds like a kindhearted intention.
But Ma Tianxiao naturally understood that although Liangzhou had chosen to rely on the Han Dynasty before, it was just dependence, not belonging, and both sides were considered ally relationships.
Moreover, he knew very well.
The Han occupied Guanzhong and naturally coveted Liangzhou, just like Cao Wei before, who occupied Guanzhong and then captured the entire Liangzhou. If the Han Dynasty had not won Cao Wei in the previous battle of Guanzhong, he would not have had the chance to seize Liangzhou.
"Prime Minister!"
After pausing for a while, Ma Tianxiao stood up and bowed to Zhuge Liang: "Xiao was supported by the Prime Minister to rescue him in time. Otherwise, Liangzhou would have been captured by Qiang and Hu."
"Now the Prime Minister leads the royal army to Liangzhou, and I hope to lead the subjects of Liangzhou to surrender to the Han Dynasty."
Ma Tianxiao was also helpless. Although he defeated Qiang and Hu, Liangzhou would probably not belong to his family anymore. Fortunately, he was more tactful and offered the city, and perhaps he could get rewards from the Han court. Otherwise, Zhuge Liang would take advantage of the situation to seize Liangzhou and he would not be able to get anything.
"God of General Ma!" Zhuge Liang hurried forward and helped Ma Tianxiao up: "Why did General say this? Liang led his army to Liangzhou to assist General Ma, but not to seize General Ma's city."
"No, no, no," Ma Tianxiao waved his hand quickly and said, "Prime Minister, Xiao Xiao is inexplicably talented and difficult to guard Liangzhou. Fortunately, the Prime Minister led the royal army to come, and Xiao happened to surrender to the great Han Dynasty."
Although Zhuge Liang said that he was not here to seize Liangzhou, Ma Tianxiao was naturally not stupid. This was just a high-sounding word.
That's why Ma Tianxiao continued to persevere and led the military and civilians of Liangzhou to surrender to the Han Dynasty.
"Thank you, General!" Zhuge Liang stopped shitting and said with a smile: "Since the general is so righteous, if Liang pushes him back, he will seem a little ignorant of the current affairs." As he said that, Zhuge Liang paused, and then said: "Since the general is willing to surrender to the Han Dynasty, Liang will definitely report to the emperor, and grant General Ma the governor of Liangzhou and guard Liangzhou for the Han Dynasty. Please do not shirk it!"
"Thank you, Prime Minister!" Ma Tianxiao was overjoyed when he heard this and immediately thanked him.
He originally wanted to surrender to the Han Dynasty, even if he could not have high positions and generous salaries, he could at least save the lives of the whole family, but Zhuge Liang still asked him to guard Liangzhou, and he was still the governor of Liangzhou.
But the only difference is that his Liangzhou governor was granted by himself before, and now his Liangzhou governor was granted by the Emperor of Han and his son-in-law Liu Chan.
In the past, he was the lord of Liangzhou, but now he is a minister of the Han Dynasty.
Although there is some difference between the two, the status is not much lower. After all, the Han Dynasty will come to capture Liangzhou sooner or later. If the Han Dynasty kills Liangzhou and captures Liangzhou, it may not be so easy for him to become a governor.
Moreover, if he wants to compete with the big man, it will be difficult for him to do it in a short time.
The war in Liangzhou was pacified.
The news soon reached Chang'an.
"Access!"
In Hehuan Hall, as soon as Liu Chan entered the house, he said happily: "The war in Liangzhou has ended, and our army has defeated Qiang and Hu."
"Really!" Ma Sheng was overjoyed: "Your Majesty, is this true?"
"Really!" Liu Chan confirmed: "I just ordered your father to be the governor of Liangzhou."
"Ah?" Ma Sheng was puzzled and frowned slightly.
Liu Chan naturally saw Ma Sheng's doubts and said with a smile: "Don't be surprised, I am my father-in-law, your father-in-law, General Ma Tianxiao, took the initiative to surrender to our great Han Dynasty. The Prime Minister asked me for instructions and asked your father to continue to serve as the governor of Liangzhou."
"Oh!" Ma Sheng nodded slightly. Although she was not in Liangzhou, she could guess the general situation. After all, she knew that she would marry Chang'an. The Han Dynasty would sooner or later take Liangzhou, so her father thought of marrying the Han Dynasty, so that she could also exchange for temporary peace for Liangzhou.
But unexpectedly, she married in Chang'an and Liangzhou still returned to the great man.
But thinking about it, I think this is a good thing.
Although Liangzhou was born in the Han Dynasty, her father was still the governor of Liangzhou, and there would be no war in Liangzhou in the future. After all, the Han Dynasty now can see clearly that she would not have any chance to compete with the Han, Wei and Wu for the world, or live in a corner.
It is better to take advantage of the situation to surrender to avoid a war in Liangzhou in the future.
"A month later," Liu Chan said and said with a smile: "A month later, you can meet your father-in-law."
"Really?" Ma Sheng was a little puzzled.
"Of course, how could I deceive my visitor?" Liu Chan said with a smile: "The Prime Minister passed on a message that when my imperial edict was sent to Liangzhou, as the governor of Liangzhou in the Han Dynasty, the father-in-law and father-in-law need to enter the capital to meet me."
As soon as Liu Chan finished speaking, Ma Sheng suddenly became excited.
But before she could speak, she suddenly frowned, then she subconsciously covered her mouth and hurriedly ran towards the inner hall, which scared Liu Chan.
Liu Chan followed him and asked, "What's wrong with Zun'er? What's wrong with Zun?"
"vomit!"
With a dry retching, Ma Sheng couldn't help but vomited a few times.
"Transfer to the imperial doctor!"
While Liu Chan hurriedly ordered the palace maid to go and pass on the imperial doctor, he helped Ma Zuo to rest in the inner hall. Ma Zuo didn't know what was going on, and suddenly wanted to vomit.
"Your Majesty, it's okay to visit me."
Ma Sheng lay on the couch, looked at Liu Chan's nervous look and said lightly.
"Lying down and rest quickly," Liu Chan said: "Let the imperial doctor see if he had eaten something unclean."
"Okay!" Ma Sheng replied obediently, then lay quietly on the couch.
Liu Chan sat by the couch, gently kneading Ma Sheng's shoulders to make her feel a little more comfortable, waiting for the imperial doctor to come over to diagnose her.
In a short while, the imperial doctor came to Hehuan Hall.
"Congratulations to Your Majesty! Congratulations to Empress!"
After the imperial doctor was diagnosed, he immediately congratulated Liu Chan and Ma Sheng and said, "The Empress is not asymptomatic. It is because the Empress is happy. Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to you."
