Chapter 85: Soldiers are not bloody

"Those who put down their weapons will avoid death, and those who resist will kill!" A wave of high echoes resounded over Chang'an like thunder in the sky.

Immediately at this time, fireworks were everywhere in Chang'an City, and the shouts of "Break the city! Break the city!" sounded everywhere in the city, causing the people in Chang'an City to fall into panic.

Ma Chao rode on the war horse, looking up at the sky above the city, the burning fires, and listening to the screams everywhere in the city, he knew that all this was obviously a spy from the Pegasus Pavilion. When he heard the shouts of killing, he was acting according to the plan. Their purpose was to create chaos in Chang'an City and disturb the morale of the defenders.

The defenders in the Xiying in front of him were already shocked by the chaos of the morale of the army when facing Ma Chao's iron cavalry entering the camp. When Ma Chao's army was ready for the arrow formation, the defenders who were already struggling with their thoughts were already scared, and no one dared to rush into the school field again.

Zhang Rui, the commander of the Xiying camp, saw the Xiliang army and horses entering the camp, couldn't help but think: "It's so fast. As expected, the teacher said that Chang'an City is Ma Chao's ultimate goal. It seems that it's time for me to do something for the people of Chang'an."

Zhang Rui thought of this and then raised his arms and shouted: "Dong Zhuo bullies the emperor and suppresses the people, Niu Fu is cruel and easy to kill. If we work hard for such a person, wouldn't we let the people in the world be despised? It's better to surrender to the Taifu to protect the people of Chang'an and avoid the suffering of war."

Among the lower-class soldiers, Zhang Rui, who had always been quite prestigious, shouted and hundreds of soldiers around him echoed: "We are willing to listen to Zhang Duwei."

"Dang!..." As Zhang Rui took the lead in throwing down his weapons, the soldiers on both sides followed suit. In an instant, all the soldiers of the battalion put down their weapons.

"Brothers, all those who put down their weapons will return to the camp and wait for the order!" Zhang Rui held up the torch and shouted loudly, and all the soldiers of the camp retreated back to the camp and hung.

When Ma Chao was in the formation, he was moved and said, "Hu Chier, who is this Duwei Zhang? He actually has such prestige?"

"Report to the young master, Zhang Duwei's surname is Zhang Rui, and his courtesy name is De'an. He is from Fengyi County. He has always been arrogant because of his bravery and often makes contradictory to Guan. If it weren't for Jia Wenhe Bao, he would have been killed by Niu Fu. At this moment, he turned against him at the scene, it might be because of his resentment to Niu Fu!" Hu Chier couldn't help but feel taboo when she saw Zhang Rui surrender. When she replied, she obviously had a slander.

At this moment, he even cursed in his heart: Damn, Zhang Dean usually claims to be loyal and righteous, but he will surrender. Such a great achievement will be achieved by him.

Ma Chao frowned. Obviously, he heard Hu Chier's words had other meanings. He thought to himself dissatisfied: Hu Chier seems to be thief-hearted and always slandered others to achieve his own fame.

When the entire battalion retreated, Zhang Rui was the only one on the camp platform except Ma Chao's seven thousand soldiers. At this time, he held a torch and walked up to Ma Chao's army, bowed and shouted: "The criminal general Zhang Rui, who has seen Ma Taifu, hopes that the Taifu will guard his promise and let the soldiers in the camp be spared from the suffering of war. If the Taifu agrees, Rui will be willing to deal with it."

Ma Chao led the generals to the front of the formation and looked up at Zhang Rui. He was nearly eight feet tall and looked burly and strong, with a wide face and short beard, and a righteous face.

Ma Chao couldn't help but feel good about such a man and nodded immediately: "General Zhang is worried about the people, Chao is impressed. The general has other requests, although Chao agrees."

"Master Xie, there is only one requirement for the crime. I will go to Dongying to persuade the soldiers of Dongying to return." Zhang Rui has heard of Ma Chao's reputation. Today, he saw that Ma Chao had the style of a famous scholar, so he was relieved. He immediately walked to Ma Chao and bowed and asked for his orders.

Ma Chao then turned over and dismounted, helped Zhang Rui up and said, "What the general did for the people of Chang'an will be famous for all ages. Chao gave thanks to the general for hundreds of thousands of people in Chang'an."

"The Taifu eliminated the thieves for the country and was well-known in the world. Although Rui was not talented, he was willing to use his weak power." Zhang Rui shouted solemnly.

Regarding Zhang Rui's heroic spirit, Ma Chao nodded secretly and said immediately: "There is someone to lead the horse!"

"General Zhang, I'm going to Yuntai, I hope to take care of you!" Ma Chao saw Zhang Rui wearing a single dress, so he took off the brocade robe on his shoulder and put it on his shoulder, and asked.

Zhang Rui took the reins of the war horse and bowed, "Thank you, Grand Tutor, Rui will come back when dawn!" "Go!"

"..." Ma Chao looked at Zhang Rui's figure disappearing under the night sky, and did not speak for a long time.

"Major General, Zhang Rui is leaving here like a fish entering the sea..." Hu Chier couldn't help but speak when she saw Zhang Rui leaving.

"General Hu, I think General Zhang is a loyal and righteous person, and I believe he is a person who values ​​promises." Before he could finish his words, Pang De interrupted his words with a cold shout.

"Junyi, you can speed up one thousand soldiers and horses to guard Hengmen, and let Ming lead one thousand soldiers and horses to guard the camp gate." Ma Chao waved his hand to block their words and ordered loudly.

"Abide by the order!" The two generals left.

"Zilong, you lead the soldiers in the camp, clean the battlefield, confiscate the weapons, count and book all the newly surrendered soldiers, and then compile them after dawn." Ma Chao looked at the quiet camp and said in a deep voice: "General Hu, you lead five hundred soldiers to set up camp tents in the camp and prepare to camp."

"Abide by the order!"

At dawn, Chang'an City, which had been in trouble all night, finally returned to quiet. Ma Chao did not sleep all night. He stood on the platform at the gate of Xiying, and stopped until dawn.

When the rising sun in the east appeared in the sky, thousands of golden lights were shining, refracted on Ma Chao's shining silver helmet, and tens of lights were transformed into them, causing the soldiers on the school field to think that they were the generals who came down to earth and moved everyone.

At this moment, Zhang Rui returned as scheduled. He did not disappoint Ma Chao's expectations. Not only did he bring back the 6,000 soldiers from Dongying, but also the 2,750 soldiers from each sect, and all were brought back by him.

"Fortunately, Zhang Rui, the general of crime, is here to report his life!" Zhang Rui came to the center of the school grounds, turned over and dismounted, knelt down and bowed.

"Haha..." Ma Chao laughed to the sky, walked down the cloud platform quickly, opened his arms and helped him up, and said, "De'an, Chang'an can be defeated without bloodshed. It is all your contribution. Japan will award you the title of General Li Xin to assist us in Chang'an's defense."
