The horse's hooves sounded and the flag fell.

The Yuan army flag floating on the top of Jinyang City slowly fell with the wind.

It seems to be announcing the end of an era.

Ma Qiang rode his horse and walked into Jinyang City under the escort of the soldiers. Xu You had been by the side for a long time. When he saw Ma Qiang coming in, he wanted to step forward, but was stopped outside by the guards.

"Mr. Xu, let him come!"

Although Ma Qiang doesn't like Xu You, he still has to live up to his face when facing a meritorious minister.

"Ming Gong! Yuan Shang, Guo Tu and Xin Ping are all dead. Now Jinyang City is under the control of our army!"

"Mr. Xu has made great contributions to pacifying Bingzhou this time. Please follow me to enter the city."

Xu You's face turned red with excitement and hurriedly followed Ma Qiang into the city. Ma Qiang looked at the Yuan Tan brothers and a group of civil and military officials who were pressed aside and sighed, "I trust you brothers and give you troops, horses, food and grass, in order to make Bingzhou stable and make the people suffer less. Why do you brothers turn against each other and fight against each other, causing corpses to spread everywhere and displace the people. If Mr. Xu hadn't been unable to bear the trouble of life and advised me to mediate here, I still don't know how many people would die in the war. Can you know the crime?"

Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi were so angry that you let Xu You provoke the disagreement, which caused us brothers to kill each other. Now we are asking about us.

He also mediated and as he adjusted, Bingzhou changed his surname to Ma!

Are you shameless?

But no matter how angry they were, they didn't dare to say it directly, just claiming to be guilty.

"Since you know the crime, you should be punished. For your own selfishness, you have set off a war and killed your brothers. It is a very evil crime. Someone advised me to send you and the other two to Benchu ​​and ask Benchu ​​to punish you. What do you think?"

Delivered to ours?

Isn't that just killing us?

When they were in Huguan, the two of them were both awakened to wait for the killing of Ma Qiang, but after being released once, it was difficult to get such enlightenment again.

Some people think that escaping from death is profitable if they live one more day, while others will never want to experience the horror of death again. This psychological change varies from person to person.

Yuan Xi's eyes rolled and shouted loudly, "Xianfu did not obey the general's order and rebel against the court. Although he is brothers with us, this is a national affairs. We dare not favor personal gain, so we raised an army. This is to quell the rebellion, not rebellion!"

Ma Qiang smiled and said, "So you are loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty?"

"Of course he is a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty!"

"Since you are destroying your relatives for the sake of the country, let's give up this matter!"

Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi breathed a long sigh, as long as they don’t die, there is still a chance.

Of course, Ma Qiang did not kill them because of his kindness, but because of the three ministers of the Yuan family, I don’t know how many people in the world have received the favor of their clan. It is easy to kill two people, but difficult to win people’s hearts.

Unlike the people who later generations think that Yuan's subordinates are mostly under the command of Erwuzi, the loyal Yuan's civil and military heroes were enough to make a long list. Otherwise, Cao Cao would not have to spend more than five years to pacify Hebei after Yuan Shao's death.

Of course, Ma Qiang would not give those loyal Yuan's chances of restoration.

"Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi obeys the order!"

The two hurriedly bowed to the ground to express their surrender.

"Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi, although they were a state affairs and destroyed their relatives for justice, during the mourning period, they ignored their brothers' etiquette and launched a great war and were incompatible with the court. I will submit to the emperor and deprive you of the two of them of official positions and titles, and send them to Xiwuhuan for five years before they can be allowed to come back after five years. Then, according to the court's public opinion, we will deal with it again. Can you obey?"

service?

Although the two were worried that Ma Qiang was planning to kill people with a soft knife, they refused now, just forcing Ma Qiang to kill people with a real knife.

Besides, five years are nothing to the young two, and when they come back, they will be a hero again!

Ma Qiang looked at the two people who were guilty and nodded slightly.

Of course he didn't believe that these two people would be convinced. He just wanted a reason not to let the Bingzhou powerful men have an attack.

Bingzhou is different from Jizhou. Bingzhou is now with few people and many foreign races. The Huns have almost occupied half of Bingzhou's land. The powerful people who have lived here for hundreds of years are the best candidates to guard these lands. After all, this is their home.

Therefore, Ma Qiang was not prepared to defeat all the powerful gentry in Bingzhou with one stick, but was planning to use a soft knife to cut off the flesh and slowly suppress the gentry from an economic and political perspective.

Sending these two people to Wuhuan can ensure that the relationship between the old subordinates of the Yuan family and the two people is to the greatest extent, and the other hand, it can also allow the two people to live, die, return or escape at critical moments.

After dealing with the two, Ma Qiang looked at the other civil and military officials. Seeing that some of them had a warm look and some were in a low mood, he knew that many people were unwilling to give up and waved, "The others were detained first, and then talked after careful review."

"promise!"

Only then did Ma Qiang come to the General's Mansion under Xu You, and Yuan Shao and even Yuan Tan and others' families were among them. Ma Qiang looked at the General's Mansion, which was guarded by the soldiers, and knew that this was what Zhao Yun did, so he nodded to Zhao Yun.

Unless it is a huge personal grudge, the princes fighting for hegemony is not as good as the family is the unspoken rule that everyone defaults to.

After all, no one dares to say that they can laugh to the end.

Even Yuan Shu, who became emperor, still lived well under the Sun family after his defeat.

Ma Qiang did not forcibly break in, but dismounted and knocked on the door to show respect. Then he heard a panic sound inside and couldn't help laughing.

After a long time, the door was opened, and a woman in mourning clothes walked out with a child, and said to Ma Qiang, "The bitch Liu has seen the general!"

Mrs. Liu? Is this man who gave his daughter-in-law who served him in history to Cao Pi in exchange for his own life?

In the chaotic times of the Three Kingdoms, there were not many women who left their names, and Ma Qiang couldn't help but look at the woman in front of him carefully.

Mrs. Liu felt Ma Qiang's gaze, and she stretched out her chest with red eyes. Ma Qiang felt a white wave in front of her.

Not to mention, there is really information.

What a pity, if it were Boss Cao, he would inevitably comfort Mrs. Liu. Yuan Shao had been away from home for so long, and I think it would be hard for Mrs. Liu to come.

Wait, speaking of this, in history, after Boss Cao went to Yecheng to cry Yuan Shao, it seemed that he really comforted Mrs. Liu...

"Who is this?" Ma Qiang retracted his thoughts and looked at the little boy who was looking at him curiously.

"This is Yuan Cheqi's youngest son Yuan Mai."

Ma Qiang looked at Liu, his eyes full of sneer.

This is to throw out the youngest son to separate him from Yuan.

This woman is really cruel.

"Yuan Shang is dead, Yuan Tan adopts his house. Yuan Xi is in a loss of personal relationship. I think this son just inherited Yuan Cheqi's mantra!

I don’t think you can teach him anything here, let him go to Guangzong, there are the best teachers there, which can make him the pillar of my great man in the future!”
