    "Brother, should we fight or surrender? You can make up your mind!" Ma Guoliang asked anxiously.  Now the Western Sichuan Army is about to invade, so we have to make a decision quickly!  However, from his own heart, he didn't want to fight anymore.  When he was in Maqin before, he was beaten and scared.  Now the tall and solid walls of Hezhou City are not able to withstand the footsteps of the Western Sichuan Army. It is even more impossible to defend Hezhou City.

    "Don't be so impatient! Are there more than 20,000 brothers in Hezhou City? Even if they attack, they won't be able to reach the Admiral's Mansion for a while!" Ma Anliang glanced at Ma Guoliang and said slowly.

    "Brother, why don't we surrender? The army in western Sichuan is strong, and we are no match for them! If the fight continues, Hezhou City will be finished, and so will our Ma family!" Ma Guoliang said bravely.  He finally understood that Ma Jiajun was no match for the Western Sichuan Army in this world!  Maybe it really belongs to western Sichuan.  Now that he has joined the Western Sichuan Army, he might be able to get a good position and become a hero of Conglong.  Haven't you seen that boy Ma Qi become a brigade commander of the Western Sichuan Army?  If they take refuge in the past, at least it can't be worse than this!

    "Hmph! Guoliang, are you scared?" Ma Anliang asked.

    "Brother, I'm not scared, I'm thinking about our Ma family! Now that we have failed, if we continue to resist, the entire Ma family will be destroyed!" Ma Guoliang defended.

    "Stay back! I have my own opinion!" Ma Anliang waved his hand.

    Ma Guoliang opened his mouth, but still didn't say anything, turned around and left.

    Soldiers from the 11th and 12th brigades of the Western Sichuan Army rushed into Hezhou City through the blown gap in the city wall.  The Ma Jiajun defenders were already frightened and their resistance was very limited.  Under the fierce attack of the Western Sichuan Army, they were retreating steadily.  Many people even took the initiative to lay down their weapons and surrender as soon as the Western Sichuan Army arrived.  Obviously, during this period of time, under the shelling of the Western Sichuan Army and the propaganda of the Ma Jiajun who had escaped from the Battle of Maqin, they subconsciously believed that they were no match for the Western Sichuan Army.  Rather than resisting and losing your life, it is better to surrender and save your life.

    Of course, there are people who resist, but compared to those who surrender, there are far fewer.  Under the siege of more than 20,000 people from the 11th and 12th brigades of the Western Sichuan Army, those who resisted were quickly annihilated.  In less than two hours, the Western Sichuan Army had already reached the Admiral's Mansion in the center of the city.

    "Second Master, no, the Western Sichuan Army is coming. They have surrounded the entire Admiral's Mansion and are about to attack!" The steward of the Admiral's Mansion ran over to report with a look of panic.

    Ma Guo's heart trembled, and he quickly walked towards Ma Anliang's study again.  The Western Sichuan Army's offensive was so fierce and the Ma's Army was defeated so quickly, which completely exceeded his imagination.  Perhaps, after laying this foundation, the Ma Jiajun has been at peace for a long time, and has lost the bloody spirit that it had when the uprising began.

    "Brother, the Western Sichuan Army is attacking outside the Admiral's Mansion. Please make a decision quickly!" Ma Guoliang patted the study door and said loudly.

    However, there was silence in the study room, and no sound came from it.

    "Bang bang!" Ma Guoliang patted the door twice again, but there was still no sound inside.

    "Brother, are you in there? Answer me?" Ma Guoliang became a little anxious and shouted loudly.  However, he still didn't get any response.

    "Bang!" Ma Guoliang kicked the door open, rushed in and saw that Ma Anliang had slumped on the chair, his eyes wide open, and a wisp of black blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

    "Brother, big brother!" Ma Guoliang ran over quickly, hugged Ma Anliang and shook him for a while, but Ma Anliang had no life left and had obviously been dead for a long time.

    "Sir, master, what's wrong with you?" The housekeeper also ran in at this time and shouted when he saw Ma Anliang's appearance.

    "Go quickly and find the third master and the elder sister-in-law!" Ma Guoliang roared.

    "Okay, second master, let's go right away!" The housekeeper hurriedly ran to deliver the order.

    Ma Anliang committed suicide by taking poison, and the entire Admiral's Mansion was in chaos. Those Ma Jiajun completely lost their fighting spirit and surrendered one after another.  As soon as Ma Anliang died, the person in charge of the Ma Jiajun became Ma Guoliang. When the Western Sichuan Army broke into the Admiral's Mansion, he surrendered to the Western Sichuan Army without saying a word.  Under Ma Guoliang's order, all Ma's troops in Hezhou City laid down their weapons.

    From the time the Western Sichuan Army began to attack to Ma Guoliang's surrender, it only took a total of three hours for the entire Hezhou City to fall.

    "Young Marshal, Chief of Staff, we have taken control of the entire river."??城!  "Ma Qi and Ma Fulu reported to Ye Yan and Cai Yun.

    "Very good, pay attention to the order in the city, and no looting is allowed. You are now the Western Sichuan Army, and you must abide by the rules of the Western Sichuan Army." Wang Yuze warned.

    "Yes, Marshal! We will tell the brothers below immediately!" Ma Qi and Ma Fulu said quickly with their hearts tightening.  Both of them knew very well what kind of virtue their subordinates had.  It is normal to burn, kill and loot after a victory.

    "I will immediately dispatch a law enforcement team from the 10th Brigade into the city. Anyone who does evil will be severely punished. General Ma Qi, General Ma Fulu, now that our Western Sichuan Army has captured this place, this is ours.  Everyone is our people, and we cannot do anything to harm them!" Cai Yun also said firmly.

    "Yes, Chief of Staff. If there is such a person under our command, we will definitely punish him severely!" Ma Qi and Ma Fulu quickly assured.

    "Report to the Marshal, Chief of Staff! A troop with tens of thousands of people was found in the north of Hezhou City and is heading towards Hezhou City!" A staff officer came in and reported.

    "Young Marshal, he should be from our Ningma Army." Ma Fulu said.

    "Let's go and take a look together!" Wang Yuze nodded.

    When Wang Yuze and the others arrived at the north of Hezhou City, the situation in Hezhou City had stabilized.  After the law enforcement team arrived and arrested several former Ningma Army soldiers who had committed robbery, the remaining people were frightened and did not dare to act rashly.  All the prisoners of Ma Jiajun were also taken into custody.  However, those members of the Ma family were temporarily placed under house arrest in the Admiral's Mansion, waiting for Wang Yuze and Cai Yun's disposal.

    "Young Master, eldest brother sent me to bring someone here!" Ma Zhengyuan saw Ma Fulu from a distance and hurried over.

    "Second uncle, why are you here in person?" Ma Fulu hurriedly greeted him.

    "Young Master, my eldest brother asked me to be the brigade commander of the 13th Brigade. Didn't I just rush here with my people? Where are the Ma Jiajun boys?" Ma Zhengyuan asked.

    "Uncle Zhengyuan, the battle is over, we have captured Hezhou!" Ma Fulu said.

    "Humph! Those two boys from Ma Jiajun are indeed weaklings!" Ma Zhengyuan said with some disappointment.

    "Okay, stop talking, I'll take you to see the marshal and chief of staff!" Ma Fulu said.

    "Ah! Okay! Wait a minute, I've prepared a meeting gift for the marshal and the chief of staff!" Ma Zhengyuan took a wooden box from his horse and held it in his arms.

    "Young Marshal, Chief of Staff. This is my second uncle Ma Zhengyuan, who is also the candidate recommended by my father to be the brigade commander of the 13th Brigade!" Ma Fulu accepted.

    "Ma Zhengyuan has met the young marshal, the chief of staff!" Ma Zhengyuan fell to his knees and kowtowed to Wang Yuze and Cai Yun.

    "Ah! Ma Jiajun, please get up quickly. From today on, you will be a soldier of the Western Sichuan Army. You don't need to kneel down, just give a military salute!" Wang Yuze quickly helped Ma Zhengyuan up.  It made him very uncomfortable for a man who was old enough to be his father to kowtow to him.

    "Thank you, Marshal! Marshal, this is the meeting gift I prepared for you!" Ma Zhengyuan handed the wooden box in his arms to Wang Yuze.

    "What is this?" Wang Yuze asked.

    "Head! The head of that old guy Yang Changjun, the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu!" Ma Zhengyuan said with a smile.

    "Ah!" Wang Yuze shouted and immediately threw the wooden box out.  The box was broken, and a pale human head with wide eyes rolled out of the box, with an ugly pig tail behind it.
