In the Chinese army's tent, there was indeed a corpse lying on the ground.
However, the figure of the corpse was by no means a fifteen-year-old boy, but a young man in his twenties.
He was dressed as a believer and was the one who ordered Zhang Lu to dispose of Pang Tong's body.
A large amount of blood flowed out, dyeing the ground about a foot away red.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Zhang Lu would never have believed that there was so much blood in a person's body.
After Ma Chao saw this scene, he didn't have much reaction.
He walked up to the corpse, touched his neck, and said, "He's not dead yet, and the blood is still warm."
After that, At this point, the follower felt a little uncomfortable, and finally added: "He did not die directly when the hairpin was inserted into his neck.
Later, he died entirely due to excessive blood loss."
"Yes, you observed very carefully and your guesses were accurate.
However, as a personal guard of the Ma family, you should not forget your duties."
Ma Chao glanced at the personal attendant coldly and showed his kindness to his wife.
Somewhat dissatisfied.
Then he walked to the desk, picked up a letter and asked Zhang Lu: "This letter has never appeared on your desk before, right?"
"It's because I have never seen any letters."
Zhang Lu replied, and the attendant on the side couldn't help but feel guilty when he saw such a big negligence on his part, and retreated.
"Since it's not left to you, then it must be left to me.
I really want to know what Pang Tong will leave with me."
Before he finished speaking, Ma Chao had already opened the letter.
After browsing it at a glance, his voice broke.
He stopped, and his expression suddenly became weird.
"Master Zhang Jun, has Pang Tong always promised you that there will definitely be big changes in Guandong, which will cause the Ma family to withdraw their troops?"
Ma Chao looked a little embarrassed and smiled bitterly, and asked Zhang Lu again.
"It's true, but this demon boy's lies have caused the death of one hundred thousand of my followers."
When Zhang Lu heard Ma Chao's question, his face couldn't help but curse.
If he kills me, next time, I will definitely cut him into pieces to vent my hatred."
"There's no need for that.
The trouble in Hanzhong is not caused by others, but only by you."
Ma Chao shook his hand and seemed to have little intention to talk to Zhang Lu.
He handed the letter in his hand to Zhang Lu and said, "He did not lie to you." , I really should withdraw my troops."
Zhang Lu was already angry when he was ridiculed by Ma Chao.
However, when he saw the letter, his face suddenly changed.
He actually dropped his hand and let the letter fall to the ground and said: "This, how is this possible?"
The letter swirled in the wind and slowly fell to the ground, with a corner stained red by the blood of the messenger.
The previous personal attendant hurriedly picked it up and saw that the handwriting on it was clear and meaningful, and the few strokes seemed to have the power of wind and thunder.
What's even more strange is that there is a dragon-shaped seal stamped on the lower right side of the letter.
"We have not seen each other for more than a year since we parted ways in the outskirts of Chang'an.
I heard that you recently attacked Zhanglu in the south, so I also ordered one person to go to Dongchuan to have fun with the general to increase the interest of the battle.
However, Zhanglu's path was not enough to achieve success.
Now I see this letter , Yuan Shao may have merged with the state and threatened the Ma family.
If the general is interested, it is better for you and me to hunt Jizhou together.
The general will decide whether to do it in a hurry or not. " Ma Chao once again took the unsigned letter from his attendant, lamenting in his heart: Unexpectedly, when Pang Tong entered Guandong, he actually went to find Liu Xie.
Moreover, it can be seen from the information revealed between the lines that he has surrendered to Liu Xie But at this moment, the tent door was suddenly opened, and Chen Haojie, who had not been seen for a long time, hurriedly came to report: "My lord, urgent report from Chang'an, the Xudu mutiny occurred, and Dong Cheng's lineage was completely defeated by the Cao family.
Today The emperor recovered from his illness and took charge of the central government again."
"What's going on with Yuan Shao in Jizhou?"

Ma Chao asked in a low voice without any fluctuation in his expression.
And he was not surprised at all that Hao Jie came to report.
Chen Haojie ignored the shock on his face at this time.
After reacting, he quickly said: "Yuan Shao of Jizhou has already ordered senior officials to lead an army of 200,000 to march westward to Bingzhou.
The Black Mountain Army did not dare to show its strength.
Leping, Taiyuan, All three Shangdang counties surrendered, and Hanoi County surrendered to Yuan Shao at the initiative of the Sima clan.
Only Hedong County has not yet surrendered.
However, Yuan Jun seems to have no intention of getting involved in Hedong and is driving troops into Hanoi. ” "What do those foxes in Chang'an think about this?
War or peace?
Have they ever brought back a reply?"
Yuan Shao's generosity really caught Ma Chao off guard.
At the first moment, he thought of the decision of the strategists in Chang'an.
"My lord is wise, this is the proposal of Zhongshu Sheng.
Please have your lord's review."
Chen Haojie took out a sweat-soaked letter from his arms and presented it respectfully.
"Those old foxes are actually taking the lead in the battle."
Ma Chao couldn't help but be surprised when he saw the letter.
After reading it carefully, his face became even more confused: "When did the Ma family actually plan to reunite with the Cao family, what are those foxes thinking?"
"I don't know, but Jia Ling and Shi Ling have a message for the lord."
"What words" "Those who do not plan for eternity will not be able to plan for a moment.
The Han family is in a state of exhaustion, and I am afraid that foreign races will covet it in the future."
Ma Chao's eyes narrowed when he heard this, and he couldn't help but sigh: That old fox Jia Xu has indeed already seen the crisis between the Han people and the ethnic minorities a hundred years later.
It seems that his original plan to pacify Sichuan and Sichuan was probably a big lie because he was afraid that he would be too eager for quick success.
But now that there is chaos in Guandong, he sees this opportunity and has no intention of slowing down.
"The order was sent to leave Gan Ning and Zang Ba here, and Fa Zheng to supervise the army, continue to pacify Dongchuan, and complete the delivery and takeover.
The other civil servants and generals immediately returned to Chang'an; and Qin Yu and Xun Yue from the Ministry of Rites were sent.
The two of them were envoys and formally established a good relationship with Shu.
General Pang De, who was guarding Luoyang, quickly sent troops to Hanoi to resist the front of Gao Gan's troops.
He told him not to lose the reputation of the Ma family."
Three orders were issued in a row, and Yang Xiu, who arrived shortly afterwards, immediately started writing and splashing ink.
Only then did Ma Chao look at Zhang Lu and said, "Master Jun, I still need to work harder on Dongchuan."
The meaning of this sentence is clear to Zhang Lu: Although Ma Chao has defeated the main force of Dongchuan, Hanzhong County and Ba County are still unrest.
Although there are no more soldiers to resist in the two places, the Five Dou Mi cult members are still an obstacle to the Ma family's army to successfully pacify Dongchuan.
Only he, the master, personally on the scene and preaching to the believers can make Dongchuan completely surrender to the Ma family.
At this time, Zhang Lu no longer had any chips to fight against Ma Chao.
After hearing Ma Chao's words, he couldn't help but nodded and sighed: "The waves washed away the sand, and what was left behind was indeed the smartest, most insidious, and most ruthless hero.
My defeat at the hands of you, Ma Mengqi, was due to God’s will.”
When Ma Chao heard this, he felt emotional for a moment.
However, he immediately took Zhang Lu out of the account and quickly ended the chaos outside.
But Zhang Lu's next words made Ma Chao pause.
"General Hussar, I just don't know why I wanted to marry my daughter to the general over and over again, but the general always refused.
If you and I have a relationship, even if Pang Tong has a lotus tongue, he will not make me fall in love with him."
It only takes a few years to peacefully capture Dongchuan, so why does it have to be so bloody and life-and-death like this?"
These words really hurt Ma Chao's heart.
Although Zhang Lu said that there were complaints from the defeated bandits, it is undeniable that his words were not false at all.

It turned out that Liu Xie and Pang Tong saw Zhang Lu's fear of the Ma family, and they deceived Zhang Lu into boarding the pirate ship.
This resulted in the tragedy of today's 100,000 soldiers dying in vain.
After all, I still haven't fully adapted to this cruel and troubled world, which blinded me to the love between my children.
"Master Jun, don't worry, I won't do this kind of thing again in the future."
Ma Chao pulled Zhang Lu up again and strode out of the military tent.
Zhang Lu clearly saw a ruthless determination flashing in Ma Chao's eyes.
Moving seems to be a sign of the hero's awakening
