The surrender of the Qiang infantry also announced that the Battle of Liangzhou was coming to an end.
Those Qiang and Hu cavalry who fled in all directions were overtaken by the Han cavalry led by Zhao Tong after running for a while. Naturally, they would not show mercy in the face of the enemy Han army.
The knights of the Han army were like being possessed by the god of war. They were just chopping melons and vegetables against these frightened Qiang and Hu cavalry.
Although there was some resistance from the Qiang and Hu cavalry.
But soon after they entered the battle, although they were more numerous than the Han army, they still had no morale to speak of because Mo Xie died in the battle.
What's even worse is.
They had just started fighting with the Han army when another group of Han cavalry suddenly appeared in the west of the city.
"Surrender!"
"We surrender!"
This Han cavalry was from Guan Xing in the dense forest west of the city. With the cooperation of Guan Xing and Chen Dao, they fought in the dense forest for half an hour and finally defeated the more than 5,000 Qiang and Hu cavalry.
The bearded Qiang general also died under Guan Xing's spear.
After killing the Qiang and Hu cavalry, Guan Xing did not stop, and immediately led his men towards Liangzhou City to kill again. He happened to encounter the defeated Qiang and Hu soldiers who were being chased by Zhao Tong.
Originally they wanted to resist, but as Guan Xing came with the Han cavalry, they were no longer willing to resist. The commander was already dead. If they still had a chance to escape, of course they would choose to escape, but if they had nowhere to escape
, then it is better to choose to surrender.
The Qiang and Hu cavalry surrendered.
The Battle of Liangzhou, which lasted for more than 20 days, officially ended, and the Qiang and Hu were completely defeated.
Liangzhou Governor's Mansion.
Zhuge Liang sat at the head of the table.
The one who made the move was Liangzhou Governor Ma Tianxiao. His expression was not very good at this moment, because although the siege of Liangzhou had been resolved, the entire city defense of Liangzhou had now been taken over by the Han army.
This is not to say that Zhuge Liang took the opportunity to seize Liangzhou, but because there were only four to five thousand defenders left in Liangzhou at this time.
Zhuge Liang also had good intentions and temporarily let the Han army take over the city defense to prevent chaos after the war.
It sounds like it's a well-intentioned move.
But Ma Tianxiao naturally understood that although Liangzhou had chosen to rely on the Han Dynasty before, it was only an attachment, not an affiliation. The two sides were considered allies.
Moreover, he also knows it very well.
The Han occupied Guanzhong and naturally coveted Liangzhou. Just like Cao Wei before, he occupied Guanzhong and then captured the entire Liangzhou. If the Han had not defeated Cao Wei in the Battle of Guanzhong, he would not have had the chance to capture Liangzhou.
"Prime Minister!"
After a long pause, Ma Tianxiao stood up and bowed to Zhuge Liang: "Thank you, Prime Minister Xiao, for your timely rescue. Otherwise, Liangzhou would have been captured by the Qiang and Hu."
"Now that the prime minister has led the royal army to station in Liangzhou, Xiao Yuan will lead the people of Liangzhou and submit to the Han Dynasty."
Ma Tianxiao was also helpless. Although he defeated the Qiang and Hu, he was afraid that Liangzhou would never be owned by his family again. Fortunately, he had some sense and offered the city, and maybe he would be rewarded by the Han court. If not, Zhuge Liang took advantage of the situation and seized Liangzhou.
State, he can’t get anything out of it.
"General Ma, get up!" Zhuge Liang hurriedly stepped forward and helped Ma Tianxiao up: "General, why did you say this? Liang led his army to Liangzhou to assist General Ma, but not to seize General Ma's city."<
/p>
"No, no, no," Ma Tianxiao quickly waved his hand and said, "Prime Minister, Xiao has little talent and little knowledge, and it is difficult to guard Liangzhou. Fortunately, the Prime Minister came with Wang Shi this time, and Xiao happened to surrender to the Han Dynasty."
Although Zhuge Liang said he was not here to capture Liangzhou, Ma Tianxiao was certainly not stupid. This was just a high-sounding statement.
That's why Ma Tianxiao continued to insist on leading Liangzhou's soldiers and civilians to surrender to the Han.
"Thank you, general!" Zhuge Liang stopped evading and said with a smile: "Since the general is so righteous, if Liang refuses again, it will seem a little ignorant of current affairs." After speaking, Zhuge Liang paused and then said: "Since the general is willing
If you submit to the Han Dynasty, you will definitely tell the emperor to appoint General Ma as the governor of Liangzhou and guard Liangzhou for the Han Dynasty. Please don't shirk it!"
"Thank you, Prime Minister!" Ma Tianxiao was overjoyed when he heard this and immediately thanked him with a big gift.
He originally thought that if he surrendered to the Han Dynasty, even if he couldn't get a high official position or a generous salary, he could at least save the lives of his family, but Zhuge Liang still asked him to guard Liangzhou, and he was still the governor of Liangzhou.
The only difference is that before, he was appointed the governor of Liangzhou himself, but now he is appointed the governor of Liangzhou by the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, his son-in-law Liu Chan.
He used to be the lord of Liangzhou, but now he is a minister of the Han Dynasty.
Although there is some gap between the two, their status is not much lower. After all, the big Han will come to take Liangzhou sooner or later. If he waits until the big Han goes to Liangzhou and takes Liangzhou, it may not be so easy for him to want to be the governor.<
/p>
Moreover, if he wants to compete with the big man, it will be difficult for him to do so in a short time.
The war in Liangzhou was settled.
The news soon spread to Chang'an.
"娪儿!"
In Hehuan Hall, as soon as Liu Chan entered the room, he said happily: "The war in Liangzhou is over, and our army has a great victory over the Qiang and Hu."
"It's true!" Ma E was immediately overjoyed: "Your Majesty, is this true?"
"Really!" Liu Chan confirmed: "Just now I decreed that your father be the governor of Liangzhou."
"Ah?" Ma E was confused and frowned slightly.
Liu Chan naturally saw Ma E's doubts and said with a smile: "Don't be surprised, E'er. It's my father-in-law. Your father, General Ma Tianxiao, has taken the initiative to surrender to me. The prime minister specifically asked me for permission to let your father continue to serve as Liangzhou.
Governor."
"Oh!" Ma E nodded slightly. In fact, although she was not in Liangzhou, she could guess the general situation. After all, she married in Chang'an and knew that the Han Dynasty would take Liangzhou sooner or later, so her father thought of marrying the Han Dynasty.
This can also bring temporary peace to Liangzhou.
I just didn't expect that after she married in Chang'an, Liangzhou still returned to the Han Dynasty.
But when I think about it, I think this is a good thing.
Although Liangzhou has returned to the Han Dynasty, her father is still the governor of Liangzhou, and there will be no more wars in Liangzhou in the future. After all, she can see clearly that the Han Dynasty now wants to compete with Han, Wei and Wu for the world, or live in a corner, then
There is no chance.
It is better to take advantage of the situation and surrender to avoid a war breaking out in Liangzhou in the future.
"In one month," Liu Chan said and smiled: "In one month, Yu'er will be able to meet his father-in-law."
"Really?" Ma E was a little confused.
"Of course, how could I deceive my son?" Liu Chan said with a smile: "The Prime Minister sent word that when my imperial edict is sent to Liangzhou, as the governor of Liangzhou in the Han Dynasty, Lord Yue Zhang must come to Beijing to see me.
”
As soon as Liu Chan finished speaking, Ma E suddenly became excited.
But before she could speak, she suddenly frowned, then she subconsciously covered her mouth and ran towards the inner hall in a hurry, which scared Liu Chan.
Liu Chan chased after him, supported Ma E and asked, "What's wrong with E'er? What's wrong with you?"
"Ugh!"
There was a retching sound, but Ma E still couldn't hold it back and vomited several times quickly.
"Quickly send the message to the imperial physician!"
Liu Chan hurriedly asked the palace maid to send the imperial doctor, and at the same time helped Ma E to go to the inner hall to rest. Ma E didn't know what was going on, and suddenly felt like vomiting.
"Your Majesty, Yu'er is fine."
Ma E was lying on the couch, looking at Liu Chan's nervous expression, and said calmly.
"Lie down and rest quickly;" Liu Chan said: "Let the imperial doctor check if you have eaten anything unclean."
"Okay!" Ma E responded obediently, and then lay down quietly on the couch.
Liu Chan sat by the couch, gently squeezing Ma'e's shoulders to make her a little more comfortable, and waited for the imperial doctor to come over and diagnose her.
Not long after, the imperial doctor came to Hehuan Hall.
"Congratulations to your majesty! Congratulations to the empress!"
After the diagnosis, the imperial doctor immediately congratulated Liu Chan and Ma E and said: "The empress has no symptoms. It is the empress who is pregnant. Congratulations to your majesty, congratulations to the empress."
