"Ling Ming, to be honest with you, the person who really saved you was His Highness, and you should thank His Highness properly."Ma Chao said with emotion

"Why does uncle do this? Liu Chan smiled helplessly

"what happened? Pang De was confused.

The three of them were riding abreast and had already left the frontline camp and were on their way back to Jiangling City.

Nearly 30,000 Cao soldiers were stripped of their weapons and armor, and they were all tied up with hemp ropes in units of ten. They were tied into a bunch and sent back under the escort of two thousand white soldiers.

As for the nearly 30,000 weapons and armor of Cao's army, they would be transported back to Jiangling by the civilians who delivered food and stored as reserve ordnance.

Despite the fact that there were so many prisoners, the white soldiers were just a mere handful. Two thousand people may seem very dangerous, but in fact they are foolproof.

The strong and sharp white soldiers and the unarmed Cao Jun are not the same concept at all.

Not to mention that Cao Jun captured nearly 30,000 people, even 50,000 people, without armor and weapons Under the same circumstances, it is also difficult to form a climate and cannot pose a threat to the white soldiers at all, because the difference between having armor and without armor is too big

"Brother Yu had a conflict with the former general before. With my original temper, if he wanted me to bow to him, it would be better to just kill me with a knife. Ma Chao laughed at himself:"At first, His Highness persuaded me to save your life. Brother Yu was very hesitant for the sake of ridiculous face.""

"It was precisely because of His Highness's persuasion that Brother Yu finally made up his mind, otherwise I might have sat back and watched you being killed."

"Brother, why do you need to tell me this? Pang De said strangely:"It seems that my brother..."

Ma Chao exposed his shortcomings, and these words obviously did him no good.

If he didn't say it, Pang De would only be grateful to Ma Chao, but how could he know Ma Chao's heart?

"I can lie to you, but can I also lie to myself? Ma Chao shook his head and said:"Facts are facts. It's hard not to say these words. It's really uncomfortable to hold them back.""

"It's better to make it clear to the order, lest you be deceived by me."

A northwest man with a sweet temperament, Ma Chao doesn't even bother to deceive Pound.

"Ha~" Pang De laughed dumbly,"No matter what my brother's purpose is, whether he cares about old friendships or is utilitarian, the fact is that you saved my life. I can only be grateful."

"Even if my brother's loyalty before was just a show of pretense, the three arrows he shot himself to death were real, and the injuries he suffered for me were also real!"

"That's right."Liu Chan smiled and echoed:"It doesn't matter what the deeds are, but the heart, the wheel and heart will never be perfect throughout the ages!"

"Even if they are saints, I think they have dirty, dark, and despicable thoughts in their hearts throughout their lives."

"But as long as it is not put into action, it will not hinder the reputation of a sage."

"For example, my father. Liu Chan took Liu Bei as an example,"There are many people in the world who say that he is a hypocrite, that he is a hypocrite who sells his benevolence and righteousness in exchange for fame.""

"Especially after my father robbed Yizhou, this argument became very popular for a while."

"What do you think, Your Highness? Pound couldn't help asking.

"Justice lies within the human heart, and future generations are free to comment on right and wrong."Liu Chan said in a deep voice:"Stick to your true intentions, why should you worry about other people's gossip?"

"Great kindness."Ma Chao nodded in approval.

"When my uncle revealed the truth just now, it was a sign of sticking to his true intentions."

"good. Pang De echoed:"Brother treats me with sincerity. After hearing this, my little brother not only has no grudge, but is even more grateful to him.""

"It seems...This time I made the right choice."Ma Chao couldn't help but smile on his serious face.

He didn't keep hiding it from Pound. Ma Chao told the truth and felt no more discomfort. Pound didn't mind it. It was the best of both worlds.

"correct. Pang De suddenly woke up and said,"I haven't thanked His Highness yet.""

"The grace of saving life will be repaid by death in the future!" Pang De got off his horse and bowed before Liu Chan's horse.

"General, please get up quickly. Liu Chan quickly dismounted and helped Pang De up from the ground,"General, there is no need for this. I saved your life because I hope that there will be one more good general in the world to serve the Han Dynasty.""

"Judging from His Highness's words, the King of Hanzhong must be a benevolent and righteous person, otherwise he would not be able to raise a gentleman like His Highness. Pang De said:"General, I swear that I will do my best for the Han Dynasty in this life!""

"OK OK! General, mount your horse quickly, let's return to Jiangling as soon as possible."

Worried that Jiangdong might attack at any time, Liu Chan wanted to fly back immediately.

Fortunately, the front line was not far from Jiangling, and he arrived quickly.

"Uncle, these prisoners must be strictly guarded. I will leave this matter to my uncle."

After returning to the city, Liu Chan immediately handed over the task of arranging the prisoners directly to Ma Chao

"No problem, don’t worry, Your Highness."Ma Chao nodded and agreed.

Pang De did not ask for orders. After all, he had just surrendered and was guarding the prisoners of Cao's army. He was somewhat suspected of being under the control of Gua Tian Li Xia.

At present, there are 5,000 defenders in Jiangling and Gong'an each, plus 2,000 white soldiers, and there is also General Ma Chao. , Pound is here.

Liu Chan is full of confidence. Even if Jiangdong comes to attack at this time, there is no chance of success.

On the surface, it seems that Jingzhou is impregnable, foolproof, and there is no crisis.... late at night.

Fu Shiren quietly came to Jiangling from the police and met with Mi Fang to discuss the matter.

"Why did you call me here again? Is there another situation?"Fu Shiren looked anxious.

In recent times, Mi Fang must have done nothing good by looking for him.

As expected, Mi Fang sighed:"The king won the battle on the front line...."

"I know, why do you need to tell me? Fu Shiren said strangely:"Isn't this a good thing?""

"What's good?! Mi Fang said painfully:"Nearly 30,000 prisoners, what does this mean?" Thirty thousand more mouths to eat!"

"The hole in the food and grass supply has not been filled up at all, and the purchases from Jiangdong can barely support it. The stupid rats refuse to sell more every time."

"Then I'll buy it from Kodong, that's all I can do for now. Fu Shiren said helplessly

"yes. It can only be like this, so...take money"

"......"
