Chapter 234 Han Sui's Daughter
Immediately after Cao Cao received reinforcements, he divided his troops to attack Tongguan and forcibly cross the Yellow River. During this time, Guan Ping was not idle.

He and Han Sui completed the process of exchanging prisoners. Xia Houba returned to Chang'an dejectedly, Ma Wan and Cheng Yi happily fled back, and there was another person who went back with Xia Houba—Han Sui's youngest daughter.

Although he was married to be a concubine, Han Sui still prepared three thousand stones of grain and rice, one thousand pieces of cloth, five hundred catties of gold, and one thousand good horses as dowry.

Of course, Han Sui didn't think it would be so glamorous to let his daughter be a concubine. He naturally had his own reasons.

"Go, spread the news." Han Sui looked at the team entering the city with a calm smile on his face.

For a warlord from Liangzhou like him, his family is just a tool that can be used. His son can be given to Cao Cao as a hostage in exchange for Cao Cao's temporary peace of mind, and his daughter is naturally nothing.

With such a big battle, it is not a big deal to say that Yunshan has joined forces with Han Sui, and it is nothing to marry his young daughter. Cao Cao must be quite dissatisfied when he hears about this. This is a good thing to separate the relationship between the two.

Han Sui's youngest daughter is called Han Jiu'er. She is the daughter of a concubine, and her mother is Han Suina's sword-wielding orchid.

It's just that Han Sui didn't expect his daughter to be more beautiful the longer she grows, with a hint of heroism in her frailty. I had a regular wife early, so I haven't sent it out.

But Han Sui was not discouraged, and kept his daughter with him, waiting for a destined person.

His previous target was Yan Xing, his trusted general, but Yan Xing seemed to be very uninterested in the marriage. It happened that Yunshan was about the same height, short, fat, and thin, and he was still a young talent, so he was worth wooing. Han Sui made a quick decision and exchanged his daughter directly. captive.

As a father, he doesn't take his daughter seriously, so what his son-in-law can do to his daughter is naturally not what Han Sui should consider, as long as the marriage can bring short-term benefits, and can give his army short-term benefits and redeployment The opportunity is not lost.

Based on Han Sui's moral outlook, Han Jiu'er obviously didn't think she would be treated well by General Yun. He bowed down from a distance, kowtowed his head to the ground, and said in a slightly unwilling and frightened voice:

"Slave Jiu'er, I am honored to serve the general."

Han Jiuer is tall and slender, with a pretty good appearance. Although she has been in the army all year round, her slightly wheat-colored skin is not as white and tender as the Central Plains woman, but it is a bit more healthy and energetic.

The coach took a concubine, and all his subordinates naturally cheered and said that today's weather is really good and they all dispersed. Guan Ping slowly helped Han Jiu'er up, and said with a smile:
"There is no need to be polite, you are also a poor person, and you will never criticize and abuse."

Han Jiu'er showed a hint of surprise, her cherry red lips moved a little, but she didn't speak after all.

She knew very well that she was dependent on others this time, and her symbolic meaning was far greater than the actual meaning, how to survive by her husband's side was the most important thing.

That night, Han Jiuer, who was married for the first time as a new bride, served her shyly and attentively. Her thick long hair was wet with painful sweat.

He put Han Jiu'er on his chest, and asked softly:
"How do I look like in General Han's army?"

Han Jiuer subconsciously wanted to stand up and salute before answering, but Guan Ping grabbed him firmly with his hands in time, and could only press against Guan Ping's fiery chest, forgetting all the preparatory rhetoric in a daze, and murmured:

"Father said that General Yun is unstoppable, but he just went deep into the Jedi, looking for his own death, and always lacked some strategy."

"Oh, then General Han thinks, what should I do if I lead an army to Guanzhong?"

"

The best strategy is to join forces with our army in secret, raid Cao's army, and take the opportunity to sweep the Central Plains. If the victory is not won, then use money and food to invite Northwest warriors to fight in the Central Plains.

The middle strategy can be to sit in Wuguan, advance and retreat freely, and wait for our army to fight Cao's decisive battle before fighting out, and we will surely win a complete victory.

There is only a bad strategy... Ah, the servants talk too much, please don't blame the general. "

As Han Jiuer said, she really raised her palm, slapped herself hard, and looked at Guan Ping with fear.

Guan Ping shook his head slowly, still smiling all over his face:

"Why is this so? You are a girl, and you have never robbed Sanfu like your father, so why should I blame you?

You will naturally understand in the future that I chose the best policy. "

Han Jiu'er blinked, although she dared not speak, she was subconsciously unconvinced.

She lived in Liangzhou for a long time and grew up beside Han Sui and those soldiers who had been bandits for many years, so she didn't know much about the so-called righteousness.

The Central Plains is a beautiful world for Liangzhou, which is bitter, cold and barren. Since she was a child, Han Jiuer heard people around her keep talking about taking control of the Central Plains and taking the wealth of the Central Plains back to Liangzhou. She didn't feel anything wrong.

Guan Ping asked with a smile:

"If people from the Central Plains go all the way to Liangzhou to plunder, kill all the people in Liangzhou, and take all the women back to the Central Plains as slaves, do you think the people of Liangzhou will fight desperately?"

"Of course." Han Jiu'er said in surprise, "We in Liangzhou are already poor, and we can only eat by looting the Central Plains. If the people from the Central Plains call, we will of course do our best to resist."

Guan Ping smiled, shook his head and said:
"Yes, but you forgot one thing. Liangzhou was ruled by the Han Dynasty just like the Central Plains. If the world wasn't in chaos, why would we bother? If you rob me, I'll rob you."

Han Jiuer thought for a long time, and finally nodded seriously:

"The general is right. As long as the Han Dynasty is revived, all of us will live a good life?"

Guan Ping suddenly thought of the fact that the flames had not been extinguished after thousands of years, and said with some emotion:

"It will, but it must be fought by all of us."

.

Guan Ping gave Han Jiuer's dowry as a reward to the soldiers who fought hard before. The dowry is not much for supporting a large army, but it can also maintain the morale of the army very well, so that everyone has full confidence in continuing to stick to it.

Chen Qun didn't understand why Han Sui did this for a while.

Kuai Yue gave everyone the answer:

"Duke Cao must be here. If our military rations are gradually exhausted, we must fight out and fight to the death.

But he gave us these rations to ensure that our soldiers will not starve to death for a while. In the middle of winter, not many people may be willing to go out of the city with us like guarding the city. "

In the twelfth lunar month of winter, the people in Chang'an City are willing to fight to the death to defend their homeland. It is already very impressive. It is a little unrealistic to expect them to go out on an expedition with sufficient food and fight against the powerful Liangzhou soldiers.It's just that the food and grass will be exhausted, Cao Cao can't get through for a while, and Guan Ping can't fight out. When the food and grass are almost exhausted, Han Sui will give another wave of rewards, and he will be able to control the elite soldiers in the city at a very small cost. .

After all, Han Sui and others had prepared a lot of things to keep out the cold early in order to set up troops, and most of the Jingzhou soldiers stationed in Chang'an did not have winter clothes to keep out the cold. Letting them ride horses on an expedition might cause large-scale disease and epidemics, and the gains outweigh the losses.

Unless Guan Ping doesn't care about the lives of the soldiers at all, that is, he declares that there will be no food in the city, and Han Sui will expose the matter casually.

He knew that Han Sui was a conspiracy, but Guan Ping had no choice but to accept his charity. He had been discussing with his subordinates, civil and military, how to deal with the situation, but everyone was at a loss as to what to do.

After all, they are not locals, and they are relatively unfamiliar with Han Sui and others, so it may cost a lot to come up with any idea.

One day after the discussion, Guan Ping dragged his exhausted body back home. Han Jiuer quickly brought hot water, first helped Guan Ping wash his face, and then knelt on the cold ground to help Guan Ping take off his boots and wash his feet. uneasy.

The last time he was treated like this was when he visited Jiangdong with Zhuge Junshi, and I don't know if Zhang Gong is in good health now.

Seeing Guan Ping's complexion, Han Jiu'er was afraid that he did not do well, so he said in a low voice with some fear:

"I don't know why the general is unhappy? But the servants are not serving well?"

Guan Ping originally wanted to say that women shouldn't get involved in military matters, but Han Jiu'er was cautious, and he was afraid that she would think too much, so he said casually:

"We are the generals of the imperial court. Prime Minister Cao has already led the army to help, and your father fought bravely with Ma Chao. I am afraid that we will be trapped for a long time.

When the food and grass are exhausted, the people in the city will be in chaos, so I am embarrassed. "

Han Jiuer bowed his head and said nothing, Guan Ping smiled wryly again:

"Well, I shouldn't have told you. In fact, this matter has nothing to do with you. General Han is also a hero in the world. If we fight for the front, it will not be difficult for you, a woman."

After all, Guan Ping stretched his waist, ready to have a good night's sleep, but saw Han Jiu'er standing aside in a daze, meditating, and wondered:

"what happened?"

Han Jiuer bit her lip and said with difficulty:
"I have a way to solve this matter, but it's extremely risky. I don't know if the general is willing to believe me."

"Ah?" Guan Ping was stunned for a while.

He never thought in his heart that Han Jiu'er would actually help him deal with her biological father, so he couldn't help being taken aback.

Han Jiu'er didn't think there was anything wrong. Isn't it a moral requirement to obey your father at home and obey your husband when you get married?
Ma Chao directly didn't want his father anymore, and Han Sui didn't want his son anymore, just like anyone who is not a filial son.

The only thing that made her nervous was that this matter was extremely risky. If she made a mistake, she was afraid that Yun Shan's life would be killed.

It's rare to meet someone like Yunshan who doesn't treat him much. I heard that Cao Jun has always had a decree on the reuse of widows. It would be bad if he was arrested and married to someone else.

"But it's okay to say, well, I don't say you said it." Guan Ping hurriedly said.

Han Jiuer nodded:

"I wonder if the general has heard of a man named Yang Qiu?"
