Chapter 263: Slaughtering Millions!!
Chapter 263: Massacre of Millions!!
Ma Chao was dragged closer and closer to the water's edge.

He was bound all over.
Once you are thrown into the Tao River, you won’t even be able to struggle and will sink to the bottom!

His feet began to resist subconsciously, he was unwilling to go to the water...

Such a scene was naturally seen by Han Sui, Gao Shun and others around.

Everyone's expressions were a little subtle at the moment. Ma Mengqi was still so tough even when he was about to die, and his words were so tough, so why was he begging for survival now?

Oh.
He just didn't want to bow down in front of the King of Chu.

Oh.
He still wants to live.

Oh.
He just wanted to save his face and his life.

Gao Shun looked at Liu Wu. After all, Ma Chao was also a fierce general. If he could be subdued, it would be like gaining a capable subordinate.

The two most crucial points are: first, Ma Chao is a descendant of General Fubo Ma Yuan. If he is not killed and is recruited as his subordinate, it will enhance the prestige of the King of Chu. In the past, General Fubo supported Emperor Guangwu, and his descendant Ma Chao also served under Emperor Liu Wu, which gave him a feeling that it was his destiny.

The second is that Liu Wu destroyed the Qiang. Even though he emptied the entire Liang Province, he still did not forge a mortal enemy with Ma Chao and Han Sui.
It was just to let them jump from the Liangzhou Qiang people's boat to our boat.

Liu Wu's next real opponent, the person who is truly qualified to compete with Liu Wu, is Cao Mengde Cao Cao. Cao Cao killed Ma Teng, and the hatred for the murder of his father is irreconcilable, so Ma Chao can be used.

Then, Gao Shun, the general whom Liu Wu trusted the most, spoke up: "My lord, Ma Chao is brave but not very smart, suspicious but not very resourceful, loyal and filial. He can be your carriage puller..."

Gao Shun said that Ma Chao was a brave and good fighter, but his brain was not very good and he was not very smart. He was suspicious by nature but not very scheming.

Loyalty and filial piety are real. After all, what he is most proud of is that he is a descendant of a national hero. After his father died, he led an army to fight Cao Cao. Although he is not very good at fighting, he is still a filial son.

My lord, you can completely control this man. If you wish, you can spare his life and let him be the pony pulling your royal chariot.

Ma Chao had been pushed to the riverside, with one of his feet already hanging in the air, and about to be pushed in completely. He gritted his teeth and tried to hold on, but he was already becoming extremely anxious!
Gao Shun had already spoken, so why did Liu Wu...

How could I, Ma Chao, be a cowardly person? !
Unless you, Liu Wu, bow your head, I, Ma Mengqi, would rather die than surrender! !
The next moment, Liu Wu's voice finally came from behind Ma Chao: "Push it down."

"What a pity! Ma Fubo's descendants will never be seen again."

"Or gather the Qiang bandits to rebel, and die as a rebel."

"What a pity..."

next moment,
Ma Chao suddenly shuddered, and seemed to finally react.

He seemed to remember something: "I can't die. I can't die with the crime of tarnishing the reputation of my ancestors. No!"

He seemed to suddenly realize: "I am not a traitor! I am a hero who defeated the Qiang people in Liangzhou! I am willing to serve the King of Chu!"

The soldiers who were controlling him were also stunned, not knowing what to do for a moment.

Ma Chao twisted left and right, turned around and looked at Liu Wu: "King of Chu!"

"Ma Mengqi is willing to serve the King of Chu, just like my ancestor General Fubo supported Emperor Guangwu!"

At this time, his eyes were extremely clear, completely devoid of the previous hostility and ferocity...

however,
Liu Wu just waved his hand gently: "Push it down."

Ma Chao was stunned...

Endless regret has engulfed him. It must be that he was too rebellious before, which displeased Liu Wu and completely ruined his chances!

"King Chu!"

Ma Chao was still begging for mercy.

"I can conquer Cao Cao for you!"

This was Ma Chao's last cry. He wanted to remind Liu Wu that he was still of great use.

However, Liu Wu did not respond.

Plop! ~
What a big splash.
Ma Chao was thrown into the Tao River.

Because he was tied up all over, he sank after just a few struggles.

All the generals on the field felt a little regretful at this time. After all, Ma Chao was a rare and brave general, and he was the descendant of a national hero after all.

If Ma Chao hadn't been there to entangle the Qiang people, how could they have killed all of them in one battle?

Liu Wu had already mounted his horse on the shore. When he turned his horse back to the city, the other generals heard the King of Chu give an order: "Let Ma Chao soak in the Tao River for a while longer."

"Lü Meng, take some Jiangdong boys with you to rescue them later."

…………

The sun began to set.

In Longxi City, the soldiers were resting. After the great battle, the entire Liangzhou was empty and there were no more enemies.

The setting sun was as red as blood, reflecting on the land of Liangzhou, making it look particularly desolate.

The Tao River as far as the eye could see was filled with corpses, the water was extremely red, and a large number of Danyang soldiers were still squatting on the shore with bows and crossbows replenishing arrows, and many cavalrymen under Han Sui were wandering around, hunting down those who had escaped the net.

In Longxi City,

On the school field,
Ma Chao finally opened his eyes...

This was the Longxi City he was familiar with, and the people gathered around him were all familiar to him, Pang De, Pang Rou, Ma Dai, Ma Kang...

"Big brother!"

"My Lord, are you awake?"

"Big brother..."

He slowly stood up and found himself in a parade ground with about two to three hundred people around him. They should be his only remaining troops.

Patting his head, Ma Chao remembered that he was thrown into the Tao River.

He was tied up all over, and after drinking a few sips of water, he sank...

The Tao River was really fishy, ​​and when Ma Chao was thrown into the river, it was already stained red with blood.

He reached out and touched his wet clothes, and saw a general approaching Ma Chao with a sword in hand, looking down at him and saying, "It was Nai Gong who brought people to pull you out of the water."

Ma Chao's eyes turned cold. He didn't like this feeling...

Just as he was about to explode, Gao Shun rode up on horseback and said, "Ma Chao, now that you are awake, why don't you bring your brothers and generals with me to pay homage to the King of Chu?"

"Do you really want to die?!"

After taking a deep breath, Ma Chao ignored Lu Meng, stood up, took Pang De, Ma Dai and others with him, followed Gao Shun, and prepared to go to meet Liu Wu.

A moment later, the group arrived outside the door.

"The King of Chu will come to see you later, you should kneel to greet him."

After saying this, Gao Shun went straight into the room to find Liu Wu, leaving everyone outside the door at a loss.

Liu Wu will come out later and ask them to kneel down first...

This,
Where can I find such a thing?!
Ma Chao felt that he couldn't kneel down...

However, some people saw through it and saw Pang De kneeling directly: "He is the true king. If nothing unexpected happens, he will be the emperor in the future. Kneel down."

As soon as Pang De said this, Ma Chao no longer felt any burden. What he lacked was a step, so several people knelt down outside the door unwillingly.

……

……

In the room,

Gao Shun: "My Lord, Ma Chao is here with his men."

Liu Wu stopped writing on the desk and looked up: "Have you knelt yet?"

Gao Shun: “They all knelt.”

Liu Wu nodded slightly: "Then let them kneel first."

Then, continue writing.

……

[Royal brother, in the battle of Liangzhou, I have annihilated all the Qiang tribes and completely put an end to the Qiang rebellion that lasted for a hundred years!]

After a pause, Liu Wu thought for a moment, then continued writing:

[You may inform King Cao Cao of Wei that in this battle, I slaughtered the Qiang people in Liangzhou, the Qiang people in Hehuang, the Xianbei in Hexi, and the Xiongnu Zuoxianwang tribe and other Hu people, totaling one million...]

　No more today
