The most powerful general in the Three Kingdoms

Zhou Cheng waved his hand to stop Zhang Yan from continuing to speak.

When Ma Yunlu saw that Zhou Cheng had appointed Zhang Yan as the prefect, he felt a little disappointed.

But after all, he violated the order first and went into the mountain privately to hunt down Han Yangshuang.

Therefore, it was not that she had not been mentally prepared for Zhou Cheng's decision in advance.

Seeing the disappointment on Ma Yunlu's face, Zhou Cheng felt secretly proud.

"I don't want you to be hit, I'm afraid you don't know the majesty of being a husband.

Then he looked at Ma Chao and said,"Meng Qi has made a great contribution this time, wiping out the bandits.""

"Therefore, the merit was overturned, the official was restored to his original position, and he still commanded the northern camp."

"In the future, we need to pay more attention to changes in the local areas under our jurisdiction to prevent similar things from happening again."

Ma Chao was overjoyed and quickly thanked Zhou Cheng.

Then Zhou Cheng looked at Ma Yunlu with a smile.

Ma Yunlu was embarrassed by Zhou Cheng's stare and did not dare to speak.

He had to stand there with a red face.

Waiting for Zhou Cheng Cheng was punished.

Ma Chao and others couldn't help but smile.

Zhou Cheng was embarrassed enough when he saw Ma Yunlu.

He stopped teasing her.

So he said with a smile:"This time you disobey the order and enter privately." Shan, do you know your sin? Ma

Yunlu gritted his teeth and said bitterly:"I know that I am guilty, but I will be punished by my master." Zhou

Cheng waved his hand and said,"Now I want to remove you from your position as acting prefect of Shangdang. Are you willing?"

Ma Yunlu replied awkwardly:"My subordinates have violated military regulations and are willing to accept punishment!""

Hearing Ma Yunlu's answer, Zhou Cheng also nodded with satisfaction.

Then he continued:"I recently received a reply from Ma Teng, indicating that the roads in the Western Region are intact and there are no problems with the march."

"Therefore, I decided to immediately appoint generals and lead the soldiers, and add more along the way."

"Go immediately to open up the trade routes in the Western Regions"

"Thanks to the large amount of treasure found this time, a great achievement has been made!"

"Therefore, Ma Yunlu was appointed as the commander-in-chief, Xu Huang and Ma Dai were appointed as deputy generals, leading 30,000 troops, and Li Ru and Guo Jia accompanied them as military advisors."

"Set off immediately, go to Xiliang, contact Ma Teng, and find the guide"

"This time, we must connect the trade routes in the Western Regions again to find a more powerful economic source for our power to grow stronger.

Li Ru, Xu Huang and Guo Jia quickly saluted and said,"I accept your orders!""

Ma Yunlu was a little upset when he heard Zhou Cheng's arrangement just now.

Now he heard that she was actually asked to lead the generals to open up the trade routes in the Western Regions. He immediately became very happy.

After all, the Western Regions can be regarded as half of his home field.

Moreover, She also needs to find the cooperation of her natal family.

Once the trade route is opened, the Ma family will definitely get a lot of benefits from it.

This can be regarded as a betrothal gift and credit given to her by Zhou Cheng in disguise.

Therefore, she is very grateful.

But I became even more shy, and after holding it in for a long time, I answered:"Yes! Please follow the Lord's arrangements."

Zhou Cheng laughed loudly.

At this moment, Zhang Fang suddenly came out and expressed his hope to accompany the generals to open up the trade routes in the Western Regions.

He strived to make greater achievements to atone for the consequences he had caused before.

Zhou Cheng nodded, Agreed.

Next, Zhou Cheng suddenly remembered the previous allusion.

So he asked Zhang Yan:"Just now you said you are not willing to be a party prefect again?"

Zhang Yan smiled bitterly and said:"Now I am afraid that I will not dare to stay in Shangdang anymore with such an old face.

Zhou Cheng nodded and said,"In that case, I just have something for you to do."

Zhang Yan immediately bowed and said," My lord, please give me your orders!" Zhou Cheng smiled:"

This time you found Zhang Niujiao's treasure, but you gave me a little hint.""

"Now you are appointed as the treasure hunting captain, specializing in exploring unowned tombs everywhere and finding the treasures inside."

"To enrich the treasure house"

"This job is not easy, but it is very important. I wonder if you are willing to do it?"

When Zhang Yan heard this, he realized that this job was exactly what he was good at.

Before, he was still worried about how to apply for a new job so that he could resign from his appointment as Shangdang Prefect.

Now he saw Zhou Cheng taking the initiative to arrange a suitable position for him.

He was overjoyed. Thank you.

Seeing that everyone has made arrangements,

Zhou Cheng also rewarded Ma Yunlu, Ma Chao, Zhang Yan and Zhang Fang with some treasures.

Then according to the merit books compiled by Ma Chao and Zhang Yan, he will go into the mountain to wipe out the bandits. There were also subsequent captures of Han Yangshuang and the soldiers who had made contributions to the treasure hunt.

They were rewarded one by one for their merits. The generals again praised Zhou Cheng for his clear distinction between rewards and punishments.

Zhou Cheng felt secretly happy again after hearing this.

Next, Zhou Cheng arranged for Ma Chao, Four generals, Ma Yunlu, Zhang Yan and Zhang Fang, put Han Yangshuang and the bandit leaders and various bandit leaders into prison cars.

They were taken to the inner city gate for questioning.

As for the bandit gangsters, Zhang Yan's subordinates personally identified them.

Those who had participated in Shangdang's siege that day were not spared.

However, the bandit leaders and minions who did not come with them that day were all assigned to Zhang Yan's subordinates. He was under strict supervision.

If there was any abnormality, he would be beheaded directly.

He also ordered Li Ru, Xu Huang and Guo Jia to personally supervise the beheading.
