When Ma Chao's defeated army sent back the news, Ye Zhao had already discovered that Cao Cao was gone and the Jizhou army had completely defeated. Ye Zhao ordered people to continue to conquer the prisoners, and asked Ma Chao's defeated army to come.

"What's going on?" Ye Zhao looked at the defeated army and said, "Where is Ma Chao?"

"I don't know the humble position?" The defeated army smiled bitterly: "General Ma encountered Cao Cao, and he chased him all the way. General Ma quickly. We can't catch up with him, and we don't know where the general is going, so we can only come back first."

"Bastard, since you discovered Cao Cao, why didn't you come to report it early?" Ye Zhao's expression changed and he cursed sternly.

"Master, please calm down!" Ma Teng, who was standing beside him, had a headache. Not long after his son had just finished the board, he made a rash effort this time. But as a father, Ma Teng didn't want Ma Chao to suffer again. He immediately advised: "Meng Qi is also eager to make contributions. Besides, Cao Cao only led a defeated army, but Meng Qi had three thousand elite cavalry around him, so it was not Meng Qi's opponent."

"Shoucheng doesn't understand, how could Cao Cao be so easy to capture? Although he retreated, he must be surrounded by elites, and Cao Cao also has powerful generals. Xu Chu's ability is not inferior to Dian Wei, and Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan brothers. Shoucheng should know his power, not to mention that he has Cao Hong, Cao Ren and other generals who have been through the battlefield for a long time. He is so arrogant and even abandons his troops. He will be in danger when he goes there!"

Upon hearing this, Ma Teng's expression changed slightly and he hurriedly said, "Please allow the general to lead the army to rescue!"

"I hope you can hurry up. You can lead three thousand cavalry to rescue you. It's best if you can save it. If you can't, don't chase it rashly. This is his life!" Ye Zhao nodded silently. Although Ma Chao was brave, Ye Zhao didn't think much of his opinion about him when he pursued him alone. If Cao Cao was really so easy to capture and kill, he would not be worthy of fighting for the world with him.

Ma Teng didn't care about this at this moment. He bowed to Ye Zhao and hurriedly left. Ye Zhao continued to command the soldiers to surrender the defeated army.

As for whether the Ma family and son can give themselves a surprise, Ye Zhao did not have too much expectations. It would be best to catch up, but not to catch up. The land of the river/north is his own from today. Even if Cao Cao escapes back, it will be difficult for him to compete with him again. The portal of the Central Plains has been opened by Ye Zhao, and the land of the River/north has left no more horse source in the Central Plains, and the land of the Central Plains is almost flat. Cao Cao, who has lost his horse source, cannot fight with him any longer.

It will be a matter of time sooner or later to recover the Central Plains.

Although it is easy to defeat the 130,000 troops, it is easy to defeat, but it is difficult to surrender. Ye Zhao ordered people to go to various counties to post an Anmin notice. As long as the Cao army in Jizhou is willing to surrender, they can live without any blame and continue to stay in the army. Ye Zhao welcomes it, and if he doesn't want to, he can also return to his hometown. In short, as long as there is no trouble, Ye Zhao will not hold him accountable.

It was this book that pacified Jizhou, which was originally in chaos, much more. At the same time, with the end of the Battle of Muye, there was no more Cao's army in Jizhou. All cities and cities changed their flags and flags to claim their respects to Ye Zhao before Ye Zhao's army arrived.

This would be almost impossible if it were five years ago, before Liu Bian ascended the throne. However, in the past five years, the world has changed too much. In order to optimize the system, Cao Cao continued to imitate the Guanzhong system and suppress the aristocratic families. The Xinfu of Jizhou was the most unstable place in the hearts of the people. Cao Cao also took advantage of the opportunity of war to destroy many aristocratic families. Even big families like the Cui family in Qinghe were almost destroyed in the war, and the power of the Jizhou family was weakened to the extreme by Cao Cao.

Originally, Cao Cao was preparing to fully implement the Guanzhong system in Jizhou. As long as he was given three years, he could completely control Jizhou and make Jizhou a foundation for himself. Unfortunately, this sudden war disrupted Cao Cao's deployment, and the people of Jizhou were not attached to him. In addition, although Ye Zhao was now excluded by aristocratic families, among poor families, wealthy families and lower-class people, with the continuous output of Guanzhong books over the years, he had a strong liking for Ye Zhao. As the winner of this battle, Ye Zhao also enjoyed a treatment of surrendering.

However, what made Ye Zhao most happy was that he arrested two more generals. Cao Cao left in a hurry and went to rescue Zhang He from Yecheng. Before Gao Lan arrived in Yecheng, news of Cao Cao's failure came later.

Zhang He also felt that he was a little confused. At the beginning, he followed Yuan Shao, but Yuan Shao was not only beaten by Cao Cao, but also suppressed by Liu Bei. Zhang He was originally capable of killing Liu Bei in Yi County, but unfortunately, the Mi family first sent supplies to Liu Bei by sea. He made a mistake in his judgment and was counterattacked by Liu Bei, and then Yan Liang came. However, this 25-year-old was easily deceived out of the city by Liu Bei when he had the advantage. There was nothing to say. This time it was even worse, and Zhang He was directly captured.

Originally, Zhang He vowed not to surrender, but when he finally got out of prison, he realized that the world had changed and his lord was dead.

Zhang He was also helpless when surrendering to Cao Cao, but Yuan Shao was dead at that time, and Zhang He never thought of accompanying Yuan Shao. At Cao Cao's sincere invitation, Zhang He reluctantly agreed. However, it was not long before Cao Cao was defeated. He was caught in an enemy without knowing what had happened... Or it could be said that he was surrounded by enemies. This battle could not be fought. Zhang He originally wanted to escape, but he had just fled to Wei County, but was betrayed by the magistrate of Wei County and tied up by his subordinates to see Ye Zhao.

Looking at Zhang He's life, it can be said that there is no worst, only even worse.

When Zhang He was escorted to Ye Zhao, he was already desperate and said directly to Ye Zhao: "Please give him the last general to die!"

Ye Zhao was also a little stunned. After so many years of marching and fighting, he had not encountered any hard problems, either passionate or silent, but he had not come up like Zhang He and wanted to die.

"As far as I know..." Ye Zhao looked at Zhang He, shook his head and smiled, "It has only been two years since Jun Yi entered Meng De's tent, and he has been in Jizhou. Why is he so determined?"

Zhang He sighed and said nothing.

"It seems that it's not Meng De, so I don't understand this." Ye Zhao looked at Zhang He and said with a smile: "I have heard of Ye Yi's ability. Moreover, Ye Yi was in his prime and was at the time of making achievements. Why did he want to die so much?"

"The Prime Minister doesn't need to ask anymore, He just wants to die!" Zhang He said with a wry smile.

"Lord, Zhang Yan leads his troops to see you." Ye Zhao wanted to ask again, and Dian Wei came in and bowed to Ye Zhao and said.

"Let him come in." Ye Zhao nodded, then looked at Zhang He and said, "In this way, don't be too busy asking for death. You are defeated and captured. At this moment, your thinking is inevitable that you are a little negative. Let's stay here first and wait for a while before talking about it."

Zhang He did not say anything, but Gao Lan, who was beside him, hurriedly bowed to Ye Zhao and said, "Prime Minister is generous, we are very grateful."

Ye Zhao waved his hand and signaled the guards to take the two of them down.

After a while, a thin man came in from outside the door under Dian Wei's leadership, bowed to Ye Zhao and said, "I will meet the Prime Minister."

"General Zhang must be here at this moment, and there must be a happy event, and there is no need to be too polite." Ye Zhao nodded and said.

"I don't know if Yecheng was destroyed, it is considered a happy event." Zhang Yan bowed and said.

"It's really a joy." Ye Zhao nodded and smiled, "General Zhang has been living among the mountains and fields for many years, and I also have a joy to tell the general."

A hint of joy flashed in Zhang Yan's eyes, and she bowed and said, "Please tell me the Prime Minister."

"I have already requested the edict from Your Majesty. From now on, General Zhang will be appointed General Zhang and Marquis of Su Ting." Ye Zhao looked at Zhang Yan, took a seal from the table and handed it to Zhang Yan and said, "Congratulations to General Zhang!"

Although Cao Cao had granted Zhang Yan's official position, he did not grant him a marquis. In addition, Ye Zhao and Cao Cao were not much different from each other and had been in contact with Zhang Yan, so Zhang Yan accepted the official position but did not completely serve his loyalty to Cao Cao. This time, in order to obtain the help of Zhang Yan, Ye Zhao directly gave Zhang Yan the position of Marquis, which also made Zhang Yan completely turn to Ye Zhao's side.

Zhang Yan was excited and bowed to Ye Zhao again, "Yan... Thank you Prime Minister."

He did not thank Liu Bian. Zhang Yan knew very well that although Liu Bian was nominally the greatest in the Chang'an court, in fact, the power was in Ye Zhao's hands. Without Ye Zhao's nod, even if Liu Bian really wanted to confer him, he would not be able to do it.

"The dog's wedding is over for a while. If General Zhang has time, he might as well go to Luoyang to talk." Ye Zhao smiled at Zhang Yan.

"Congratulations to the Prime Minister, the last general will definitely go to ask for a wedding wine at that time." Zhang Yan bowed and smiled.

With the defeat of Yecheng, Guan Yu and Xu Rong's two armies went south from Youzhou, and the four counties of Hejian, Changshan, Zhongshan and Bohai were successively defeated. Ye Zhao quickly captured all Wei County, Zhao State, Julu, Qinghe, Pingyuan and other places. In February, Ye Zhao left Li Ru and Fa Zheng to preside over the overall situation, and he personally rushed to Luoyang to preside over Ye Zheng's marriage.

What surprised Ye Zhao was that this time, he actually saw Lu Bu in Luoyang.
