As soon as Liu Zhang stepped into the door of the meeting hall, he was immediately greeted by Dian Wei's deafening shouts.
"My lord, didn't you say you wanted to chop off his head before?"
Dian Wei stood at the door like a hill, not noticing Liu Zhang's darkened face at all.
"Come on, stop messing around and get out of the way!"
"oh..."
Dian Wei obeyed Liu Zhang's orders very much, but he still carefully protected Liu Zhang.
After everyone in the room sat down, Liu Zhang opened his mouth and told everyone what happened.
After learning that Liu Zhang had conquered the civil and military forces one after another, everyone expressed their congratulations.
"Come on, Meng Qi is also a general under the Yizhou Army. You two must get along well in the future!"
Afraid that Dian Wei would cause trouble to Ma Chao, Liu Zhang quickly warned him.
"I...get it."
Although Dian Wei didn't like the pretty face of Ma Chao, he still worked for Liu Zhang after all, so he deliberately looked for trouble.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Dian Wei finished speaking, Ma Chao stood up and walked to Dian Wei, staring at him with a serious face.
Dian Wei was completely right, he stood up and glared at Ma Chao.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and everyone in the room couldn't help but wonder whether a conflict would break out between the two.
Dian Wei bullied Ma Chao several times, not only defeating him head-on, but also beating him until Ma Chao was unable to fight back!
It is absolutely impossible to say that Ma Chao has no resentment in his heart!
But on the battlefield, each has its own master, and both sides are inferior to others in fighting the enemy. There is absolutely no reason to blame others.
Liu Zhang frowned slightly, not understanding what Ma Chao was thinking.
But Liu Zhang didn't think Ma Chao dared to fight Dian Wei.
Even in his prime, Ma Chao was no match for Dian Wei with Sha Lifei. Now that he is ill, how can he still want to fight Dian Wei Bu?
Once he gets into trouble, Ma Chao will definitely bring humiliation upon himself!
Just when Liu Zhang was about to ask, Ma Chao suddenly bowed to Dian Wei.
This immediately shocked everyone present, especially Cheng Gongying, Pang De, and... Liu Zhang who were familiar with Ma Chao's character!
Ma Chao is such a rebellious and strong-willed person. I didn't expect him to take the initiative to surrender.
Even if Ma Chao bowed to Liu Zhang before, it was entirely because of Liu Zhang's character and courage.
Dian Wei didn't expect this situation, and was immediately at a loss.
"Evil is coming!"
Liu Zhang saw that Dian Wei was dumbfounded and didn't show any sign, so he quickly called out a warning.
"ah...!"
"Ma...General Ma, what are you doing?"
Dian Wei has always had a heroic spirit. If others respect him, he will naturally respect others.
Ma Chao lowered his stance like this, which immediately made Dian Wei's dislike for him disappear.
"General Dian, Ma Chao has offended many times before, please forgive me General Dian!"
"Ah...this...good...ah..."
Ma Chao actually apologized to him, which made Dian Wei even more incoherent.
Dian Wei's appearance made Liu Zhang extremely helpless and he quickly spoke up to help him out.
"Meng Qi, you don't have to be like this. He has a clear distinction between love and hate, and he hates evil as much as he hates it. It's very easy to get along with him!"
"You two are both the top military generals in the world. You need to get closer in the future!"
After hearing this, Dian Wei nodded repeatedly and stretched out his hand to help Ma Chao up.
"Yes, yes! My lord is absolutely right!"
Ma Chao is also a generous person. By doing this, he not only gave Liu Zhang face, but also gave Dian Wei and himself a step up.
"General Dian is brave and invincible, Ma Chao admires him greatly!"
Dian Wei laughed several times and returned the favor to Ma Chao.
"General Ma is also a hero of the world! His future will be limitless!"
"General Dian..."
"General Ma..."
"Ha ha ha ha..."
The two of them looked up to the sky and laughed at the same time, as if they were laughing away their grudges.
"Okay, we are all men, so don't be so greasy."
Ma Chao and Dian Wei's faces turned red at the same time, and then they realized that they were each holding each other's hands...
"If you two like each other, it's not too late to contact you after you go back!"
Ma Chao and Dian Wei quickly returned to their seats, lowering their heads without saying a word.
After this little episode, the atmosphere in the room became much happier.
"Commander, tell me, how is the battle going today?"
How many Qiang soldiers were captured was the question that Liu Zhang was most concerned about.
Whether captured or killed, the combined number of the two is related to Liu Zhang's future march.
Military and state affairs cannot be trivial, so Xun You immediately became serious.
"Lord, due to the outbreak of a war between General Ma and Han Sui, both of them suffered heavy casualties before our Yizhou army arrived!"
"According to preliminary estimates, from the beginning of the civil war to the end of the civil war, the number of Qiang soldiers killed and injured was between 70,000 and 80,000, and we captured more than 20,000 Qiang people."
"However, there are still thousands of Qiang people who took advantage of the chaos to flee, and General Ma Yue divided his troops to pursue them."
Liu Zhang nodded with satisfaction. He was very satisfied with this number and there was no problem with its authenticity.
The situation in the coalition camp had been confirmed by Cheng Gongying and Ma Chao on the way back.
Before the civil strife broke out, the total number of soldiers was only about 110,000.
"Okay! After this battle, it can be said that all the Qiang elites have been wiped out! The final victory still belongs to us, Yizhou!"
Everyone bowed their hands again and congratulated Liu Zhang.
"Congratulations, lord, for destroying a powerful enemy!"
With a total strength of more than 500,000, Han Sui and Ma Teng could definitely be considered powerful enemies.
"This is the result of everyone's joint efforts. Without your help, today's victory would never be possible!"
Liu Zhang distributed the credit to everyone very naturally, which shocked Cheng Gongying and Ma Chao, who had just joined.
Especially for Cheng Gongying, when he was under Han Sui's account, Han Sui would force him to have a relationship with him no matter how much credit he got.
Such a comparison can be said to be a decisive decision!
"My Lord, all the prefectures and counties west of Longshan are now unable to resist. As soon as the army arrives, all the prefectures and counties will surely surrender!"
"I request my lord to send troops as soon as possible to completely occupy the Yongliang counties west of Longshan!"
Pang Tong took the opportunity to stand up and suggested to Liu Zhang that he send troops as soon as possible.
Today, the only counties west of Longshan that have not been fully occupied by the Yizhou Army are Jincheng County, Longxi County, Wuwei County and several counties west of Wuwei County.
As Pang Tong said, these counties have almost no resistance and can be recovered by sending troops.
However, at present, Liu Zhang is not in a hurry to send troops quickly, at least he does not need to conquer all the states and counties immediately.
"Shiyuan, Longxi County, Jincheng County, and Wuwei County can quickly order the ministries to conquer them. As for the counties west of Wuwei County, we will postpone the advance."
However, Liu Zhang's decision immediately raised questions from Fazheng.
