I am the son of Cao thief, start the awakening of the tyrant system

Chapter 458 Zhang Lu accepts surrender and promotes Yan Pu

Zhang Lu's face was livid.

To practice Taoism?

Play a fart!

If others don't know, how can he not know himself?

The so-called Taoism is just to fool those ordinary people through some unknown means!
If he was really proficient in ghosts and gods and good at Taoism, he would have directly called the wind and rain to kill Cao Mao, overthrow the court, and become the emperor himself!

Even the Guardian Divine Soldier that he was proud of was no match for Cao Jun.

Cao Mao can even take out a powerful magic weapon, how can he fight this battle?
At this moment, another believer ran in in a panic,

"Master, Cao Jun's vanguard has arrived outside the city."

"There is an enemy general who claims to be the Xiliang Shenweitian General Ma Chao, who is calling for battle outside the city!"

Seeing that it was the end of the road, Zhang Lu gritted his teeth and stood up.

Just when everyone was full of expectations, thinking that he could have some good plans, they saw him sigh,
"Since the enemy can take out such a sharp magic weapon, it means that his cultivation is far above mine."

"Then we can only surrender."

The crowd was stunned.

……

Outside Nanzheng City.

"Dog thief, come out and die!"

Ma Chao held the Mo Dao, pointed at the city wall and cursed.

After knowing that the entire army of guardian gods was wiped out, the defenders in the city closed the city gate early.

Facing Ma Chao's call at this moment, they all shrank behind the city wall and ignored it at all.

Ma Chao had no choice but to hit his horse and retreat.

"My lord, this enemy can't defend himself, we can only wait for the artillery to arrive."

"Forget it, let's order the troops to set up camp."

Cao Mao ordered.

"Here!"

Everyone suddenly took orders.

Just as they were about to disperse and command troops to set up camp here, the city gate of Nanzheng suddenly opened slowly.

Everyone present was stunned for a moment, and immediately stopped the scattered troops, telling them to stay alert.

Just when everyone thought that Zhang Lu was going to lead the troops to fight to the death, they saw a group of troops slowly walking out of the city.

They were all dressed in sheepskin, with strings tied around their necks, and they walked out on their knees.

"Haha, my lord, that Zhang Lu actually accepted the surrender with the gift of leading a sheep!"

Ma Chao laughed.

"This guy really won't give up until he reaches the Yellow River!"

Jiang Wei sneered.

"Go, bring them all to me!"

Cao Mao ordered.

A group of soldiers quickly rode forward, and then led them over.

As the person with the highest status in the city, Zhang Lu was naturally led to the front.

Followed behind him are all his family members.

As for Yang Ren, Yang Ang, Yan Pu and others, since Cao Mao didn't name them, they were neatly dressed and followed Zhang Lu cautiously.

When he was led to Jinlin, Zhang Lu lowered his head and said in a trembling voice,

"Criminal Minister Zhang Lu...greetings...King Wei..."

Cao Mao glanced at him and said lightly,

"Zhang Lu, you don't want to perform the sheep-leading ceremony to surrender, why are you so active today?"

"Reporting to the king of Wei, the guilty minister does not know the power of the king of Wei, so he will be like a chariot with his arms. I implore the king of Wei...to forgive me..."

As Zhang Lu said, he kowtowed heavily.

All his family members also kowtowed.

Not to mention Zhang Lu at this moment, even Yan Pu and the others felt extra humiliated in their hearts.

But how can this be?

Who told Cao Mao to give them a chance before, but they didn't make good use of it!

Facing Zhang Lu who begged for mercy, Cao Mao suddenly laughed,

"Zhang Lu, Zhang Lu, if you are given a chance, you are useless, and you can't blame others."

His face suddenly turned serious, and he shouted sharply,

"Come here, kill Zhang Lu's family all over the house!"

Zhang Lu was horrified and looked at Cao Mao in disbelief.

"King Wei, this... this is..."

He hasn't finished speaking yet.

Jiang Wei on the side had already stepped forward, the long sword in his hand turned into a white light, and wiped Zhang Lu's throat.

In an instant, Zhang Lu's dead head flew up.

The rest of Cao Jun's soldiers also stepped forward one after another, hacking Zhang Lu's family to death!

Yan Pu, Yang Song, Yang Ren, Yang Ang and others were trembling with fright, almost thinking that it would be their turn soon.

Cao Mao got off his horse, without even looking at Zhang Lu, he looked at Yan Pu,

"Yan Gongcao, do you think there is no need to kill Zhang Lu?"

Yan Pu suppressed the panic in his heart, collected himself, nodded and said,

"Yes... yes, King Wei, after all Zhang Lu has ruled Hanzhong for a long time, and the Five Dou Rice Sect spreads all over Hanzhong and Berkshire."

"Killing him will cause a lot of unnecessary trouble..."

Cao Mao nodded, smiled faintly,
"You're not wrong at all."

"Killing him will cause a lot of trouble..."

"But if you don't kill him, how can people in the world treat Gu?"

"Gu has given Zhang Lu two chances, but he can't grasp it, so we can't blame Gu..."

"I will give you a chance today, are you willing to surrender?"

Cao Mao looked around at Yan Pu, Yang Song and the others with cold eyes.

Except for Yan Pu, the rest of them immediately knelt down without any hesitation.

Yan Pu only hesitated for a moment, thinking of the whole family in the city, he could only kneel down together.

"We will swear allegiance to the death!"

"Good, good, good!"

Cao Mao clapped his hands and laughed,

"Yan Gongcao, come and lead our army into the city!"

"Little man...obey!"

Yan Pu stood up respectfully and led the way for Cao Mao.

With the mighty Cao Jun directly entering Nanzheng City, the Zhanglu regime that ruled Hanzhong for nearly 20 years has come to an end!
in the lobby.

Cao Mao sat in the hall, his gaze was like a torch,

"Yan Gongcao."

"The little guy is here."

Yan Pu hurriedly said respectfully.

"You have always been very intelligent and capable."

"Since this is the case, Gu will temporarily appoint you as the prefect of Hanzhong, in charge of the affairs of the county."

"When Berkshire is won in the future, the affairs of the two counties will be taken care of by you."

Cao Mao said softly.

As soon as these words came out, Yan Pu's eyes widened.

Although he had won the trust of Zhang Lu before, in the final analysis he was just a meritorious officer in the county and an assistant official of the prefect!

However, Cao Mao valued him so much that he appointed him as the prefect!

"Little man... oh no, my subordinate... thank you King Wei for your kindness!"

Yan Pu hurriedly lay down on Cao Mao!
"Don't disappoint Gu's love for you!"

Cao Mao is meaningful and authentic.

"Please rest assured, King Wei, this subordinate will definitely be ashamed to repay King Wei's kindness!"

Yan Pu's voice trembled a little.

At this moment, in his heart, there is only loyalty to Cao Mao.

As for Zhang Lu, who was loyal to him before, he had already completely forgotten about it!

And Yang Song, Yang Ren, Yang Ang and others at the side all cast envious eyes!
No matter how much Yan Pu gained Zhang Lu's trust, he was nothing more than an official.

But the prefect has become the parent official of a county, a real court official!

In addition to appointing Yan Pu as the prefect, Cao Mao also decided to transfer officials from Xu Capital to assist him.

Although Yang Ren and Yang Ang were a bit useless, Cao Mao still let them take charge of the city's security temporarily.

After everything was settled, Cao Mao's eyes fell on Yang Song.
