With the surrender of the last two rebel generals Han Sui and Ma Teng of the Xiliang rebels, the Liangzhou Rebellion that lasted for several months officially ended.

Regarding the two surrendered Ma Teng and Han Sui, neither Zhang Wen, the supreme commander in this battle, nor Liu Feng, the king of Liaodong, who had the highest official position and full power among the current anti-rebellion army, could not decide how to deal with them.

However, Liu Feng, who is familiar with history, knows that in later history, the two of them also participated in the Liangzhou Rebellion, but they were not convicted in the end.

Not only that, Ma Teng even later joined the coalition of princes who fought against Dong in the Eighteenth Route.

Looking further back, after Cao Cao coerced the emperor to order the princes, it was precisely because of Ma Teng's response to Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty that he was eventually killed by Cao Cao.

Then there was the follow-up story of Ma Chao revolting against Cao Cao, and eventually being defeated and joining Liu Bei's camp.

Therefore, after hearing Zhang Wen's proposal to directly accept the surrender of Ma Teng and Han Sui and kill them when they were unprepared, Liu Feng raised objections.

Liu Feng's reason was simple. He told Zhang Wen:"Ma Teng and Han Sui were just one of the victims of the Xiliang Rebellion. The reason why they joined the rebels was because Li Wenhou and Beigong Boyu were The rebellion was so sudden that the two became hostages before they could react.

Later, because many Han officials who did not agree to join the rebels were killed, the two hostages had no choice. They had no choice but to join the rebels.

However, Ma Teng and Han Sui did not do anything excessive before Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou were killed by this prince.

Later, after Li Wenhou and Beigong Boyu died, the two They just led their troops to flee back to Liangzhou instead of fighting stubbornly.

As for defeating the two generals Dong Zhuo and Zhou Shen and killing many Han soldiers, it was also to protect themselves.

After all, although they were forced to join the rebels, they still betrayed A big man, so when someone is chasing him, he will definitely fight back. Otherwise, if the other party doesn't listen to their explanation and takes action directly, won't they have no way to survive?" After hearing

Liu Feng's words, Dong Zhuo still refused to give up and said:"Even if they were forced, after Li Wenhou and Beigong Boyu died, they could have surrendered directly, so why did they run away?"

In this regard, Liu Feng said:"After all, they have joined the rebels, even though they were forced, But I was still afraid of being punished.

If I ran away, at least my life would be safe and my freedom would not be restricted.

However, after I captured Ma Chao, Pang De and Yan Xing alive, one of them lost his general, and the other at the same time. The general and the eldest son would naturally choose to surrender.

As for the two of them setting up Guo Guo as the leader of the rebels, they were just afraid that we would continue to hold on to them and would have to continue to resist. And Guo Guo was the one who could nominally protect their reputation.

In short, I have said so many things on their behalf, not to plead for them.

But after all, these two people are Liangzhou officials appointed by the emperor, and they were forced to rebel, so I believe that it is up to the emperor to deal with them. decision, rather than us deciding their life and death privately.

Especially after these few months of war, Liangzhou officials have been reduced to ten, but Ma Teng and Han Sui are currently the most familiar with Liangzhou's military affairs.

Therefore, I believe that these two people may still be useful."

After listening to Liu Feng's words, Zhang Wen finally stopped talking and agreed with Liu Feng's point of view.

So, Zhang Wen finally announced:"What the champion said is exactly what we, as Han ministers, should consider for the emperor.

If Ma Teng and Han Sui resist on the battlefield, then we will kill them both on the battlefield." On the battlefield, they deserved to die.

But since the two of them have surrendered, I believe that it is really up to the emperor to decide how to deal with them.

Besides, if we accept their surrender, but then we kill them later, how will the world view it? Us?

If there is another rebellion in the future, will the enemy dare to surrender?

The champion has the style of a famous general and is devoted to the consideration of the emperor. I admire him."

Afterwards, Zhang Wen drafted the battle report and gave it to a scout to bring him to Luoyang was handed over to Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty.

Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty saw the battle report and was very happy that Zhang Wen and Liu Feng were able to put down the rebellion so quickly.

Then he saw the news of Ma Teng and Han Sui's surrender.

Liu Hong was somewhat confused about how to deal with these two people.

After all, the two of them did betray the Han Dynasty and joined the Qiang rebels. From this point of view, the two of them really deserved to be killed.

However, according to Liu Feng and Zhang Wen, apart from protecting themselves, the two did not harm the interests of the Han Dynasty among the rebels. Coupled with the current situation in Liangzhou, Liu Hong was reluctant to kill the two.

However, if you don't kill two people, there must be a reason. What reason can save two people without anyone objecting?

Zhang Rang saw Liu Hong's dilemma and said,"Your Majesty, that Ma Teng is after General Fubo Ma Yuan."

Zhang Rang's words made Liu Hong determined to keep Ma Teng and Han Sui. life.

When the imperial edict was sent back to Liangzhou, Zhang Wen saw that Liu Hong did not order the killing of the two people, and even appointed them as Liangzhou officials. He was glad that he listened to Liu Feng's words.

And Liu Feng returned Pang De, Yan Xing and Ma Chao to the two of them openly.

At this time, both Pang De and the other three prisoners, as well as Ma Teng and Han Sui, already knew that Dong Zhuo originally wanted to kill him, but it was Liu Feng who protected everyone and wrote to the emperor to spare his life.

So everyone was very grateful to Liu Feng.

Especially Ma Chao.

Ma Chao, who was only nine years old at this time, was still a child. Liu Feng interceded to save his father's life, so he naturally had a good impression of Liu Feng.

In addition, as a young man, Ma Chao was also very obsessed with"Journey to the West" written by Liu Feng, and he had long wanted to meet Liu Feng.

In addition, he, Yan Xing, and Pang De besieged Liu Feng before, and all three of them were captured alive by Liu Feng. This made Ma Chao admire Liu Feng even more.

He knew that both Pang De and Yan Xing were already the top military generals in the world. Liu Feng could easily capture them in a one against three situation, which was indeed more powerful than the legend.

If you can be by Liu Feng's side and have him often teach you about your martial arts, then your strength will definitely improve rapidly.

So after getting his father's consent, Ma Chao found Liu Feng and wanted to become his disciple.

Liu Feng was very surprised by this.

As one of the five famous generals in history, Ma Chao's talent is beyond doubt and he became a top second-rate general at the age of nine.

I didn't expect that he would want to make himself his teacher.

Liu Feng did not refuse. He accepted Ma Chao as his disciple and took him back to Luoyang.
