Chapter 264 Han Sui's Mind

After the failure of Ma Chao and Han Sui's rebellion, he was forced to go all the way west and fled to the westernmost part of Liangzhou. Ma Chao even had the idea of ​​going west through Yumen Pass and going to the Western Regions for a while.

Although he was invincible in bravery, it would be difficult for him to match dozens of people, but the sudden attack of the iron army under Yunshan's command before, tens of thousands of people like a single person directly smashed Ma Chao's pride and self-confidence.

During his childhood and growing up, Beigong Boyu, Wang Guo, Bianzhang, and Han Suimateng dominated one side after another. The Han army that they could gather tens of thousands to beat was defeated, and even once thought of giving up Liangzhou. During the time of Wu, he often followed his father to rob Sanfu, and casually invaded and looted the old capital of the great man.

The only thing that could make them feel a little bit threatened was Dong Zhuo's elite Xiliang iron soldiers. The rest of the Hebei army, including Yuan Shao, were far from Ma Chao's opponent. The Han army, which can be killed by magic, is in vain.

This made Ma Chao quite arrogant, thinking that the Xiongnu's successive defeats by the Han army were just because they were too stupid.

With the powerful martial arts of my Ma Chao, coupled with a group of brave and skilled Qiang Hu iron soldiers, let alone looting Liangzhou, it is easy to sweep the world.

But as soon as he closes his eyes now, the resolute and unyielding soldiers at the head of Chang'an City, and the countless Han soldiers who roared and brandished their knives and rushed towards his army during the Weibei War will immediately appear in his mind.

Ma Chao could understand their accents and knew that they were locals from Guanzhong who had been bullied by his family for many years. These men, who used to only know how to flee and beg for mercy when facing Ma Teng and Han Sui, could break out such an astonishing battle under the command of Yun Shan. force.

Yang Qiu surrendered, Yan Xing surrendered, Ma Chao's vitality was seriously injured, fearing that he would escape too slowly, Yunshan would lead an iron army to go straight to Xiliang.

Fortunately, such a horrible thing did not happen.

Yunshan ordered Yang Qiuyan to lead the army to recover the various ministries in Yongzhou, but he did not enter the territory of Liangzhou, so he entered into a stalemate with them.

A few days later, Ma Chao heard a piece of news that made him feel mixed——Yunshan actually left Chang'an. It was said that Cao Cao's health had collapsed, and Yunshan had to hurry back to Xudu to take care of his funeral.

This surprised Ma Chao for a while.

He originally thought that his side suffered a disastrous defeat in the Battle of Weibei because Cao Cao deliberately retreated to sell a loophole, but he didn't expect that Cao Cao was really seriously ill and missed such a good opportunity, and he didn't know when he would wait for the next time.

Just as Ma Chao was still pondering whether he should take advantage of the gap between Cao Cao's critical illness and Yunshan's transfer, to attack Liangzhou first and then sweep Sanfu, another bad news reached his ears.

Ma Teng is dead!

Dozens of Ma Teng's family, men, women, old and young, were beheaded by Cao Cao on the streets of Xudu and abandoned.

This hero who once brought a huge nightmare to Guanzhong kept begging and kowtowing at the last moment of his life, hoping to get a little mercy from Cao Cao, but he could only watch helplessly as his whole family was beheaded one by one.

I don’t know if Ma Teng thought about Fu Xie, who was forced to death by him, before his death. Did he think that his wife and children were separated under his blade for a long time, and he was forced to be a slave to the barbarians or simply split into two and fell on the ground? People in a pool of blood.

Maybe there is...

A few years before going to Xudu, Ma Teng seemed to have finally realized that what he had done before was not like a person. He protected the people and restrained the barbarians, trying to create a good image for himself.

But all the evil things he did in the past can be easily washed away by such small favors.

Hearing that Ma Teng's family was wailing and sent to the execution ground, the people in the Sanfu area bowed down to the east one after another, and even helped each other greet each other like Chinese New Year, slaughtered pigs and sheep, and expressed their disgust for Ma Teng's family with practical actions.

This series of news hit Ma Chao's heart like a heavy punch.

His pride and ambition suffered an unprecedented blow, and he seemed to have aged ten years in an instant.

The guests who had been drinking with him the day before and watched Orchid dancing with swords came to express their condolences. They were amazed to see that Ma Chao's hair had turned white, and his eyes, which were sharp and full of fighting spirit, were slightly muddy. Take time out and become a group of walking dead.

"Why is Meng Qiru like this? Victory or defeat is a common matter for military strategists. The Cao thief is dead. Why don't we send [-] troops to join Xianbei and take the land of the Han family?"

Ma Chao didn't think about Ma Teng's life or death at all when he raised his army before. Everyone thought that he just wanted to show his filial piety and let it go.

Unexpectedly, Ma Chao was quite depressed for several days in a row. In desperation, the chiefs of the Qiang and Hu tribes came to enlighten Ma Chao one after another.

In their usual way of doing things, there is nothing that a barbecue can't fix.

Ma Chao was depressed, so they brought good wine and roast sheep. Everyone was dancing around the fire, but the cheerful atmosphere made Ma Chao feel a little out of place.

Since he was young, he has always liked to hang out with these barbarians, and he really envied their heroism and powerful force. Only this time, he began to feel that these people were not like his fellow travelers.

Ma Chao scratched his head, his weary eyes looked into the distance through Hu Tianchun's newly sprouted greenery, full of confusion about his future.

.

Ma Chao fell into a long-term confusion, but Han Sui, who was more than the year of knowing his destiny, had already passed the age of confusion.

In the previous battle between Weibei and Yunshan, Han Sui chatted about being a teenager, commanding his soldiers to attack Yunshan desperately, moving forward like moths to a flame.

Han Sui had already made up his mind to die on the battlefield at any time, and it would be a rare relief for him if his life's merits and demerits could be concluded on the battlefield.

But luckily, although Han Sui's soldiers had already started to be confused when Yang Qiu and Yan Xing rebelled, the loyal warriors under his command still stood firmly with him.

These warriors from Xiliang, which Han Sui usually fed with countless money, cattle, sheep and beauties, fought desperately to rescue Han Sui from the crowd. After their hard work, Han Sui was finally able to escape back to Xiliang, silently Licking his wounds.

Cao Cao died, Ma Teng's family was killed, and Yunshan was recalled to Xudu. All these events made Ma Teng deeply moved.

If he hadn't taken the risk of chasing after Cao Jun's rear at that time, Yang Qiu might not rebel now, Yunshan might not be able to break out of Chang'an, and the Guanzhong Allied Forces would not fight among themselves. Fantastic scene.

It's a pity that he couldn't suppress the greed in his heart for a while, and finally missed this rare opportunity in a thousand years.

"Captain, now that Bandit Cao is dead and Yunshan is gone, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

I might as well connect with Ma Chao and re-dispatch the army to fight Sansuke again, maybe there will be no chance of taking control of the Central Plains! "

Like Ma Chao, Han Sui also made a lot of Qianghu. If he wants to counterattack, he is not without money.

But... before the Guanzhong coalition army cheated me and I cheated you, he still doesn't want to get any more coalition forces now, let alone join forces with Ma Chao.

Although he had turned against Ma Teng a long time ago, Ma Teng was his sworn brother after all, and the news of his death still had a huge impact on Han Sui, making the elderly man breathless for a while.

If he hadn't succumbed to Beigong Boyu back then, if he had found the right opportunity and turned back, maybe he wouldn't have been like this for so many years.

After sighing for a long time, Han Sui's mind suddenly changed, and a bold idea suddenly came to him.

"Who else among you can... contact Yanming? Don't hide it from me, it's a good thing!"

All Han Sui's subordinates looked at each other in blank dismay, no one dared to say anything for a moment, Yan Xing was a traitor under Han Sui's subordinates, who would dare to claim to have friendship with him?

Cheng Gongying said with a wry smile: "Yanming should give me some thin noodles, what orders does the governor have?"

Han Sui pondered for a moment, then calmly said:
"Yunshan is my son-in-law after all, and I was very worried when I heard that he was under house arrest in Xudu by the usurper Cao.

Although Yanming abandoned me and left, the kindness and righteousness of the past are still there. Go and ask him, would you like to help the Han family with me, and together destroy the Cao thief who usurped the Han? "

Han Sui's words can be said to have no good intentions.

Yunshan didn't know what to do in Xudu, but if Han Sui went to rescue him in the name of helping the Han family, it would really add another crime to Yunshan out of thin air.

What Cao Pi hates the most now is that someone shouts the slogan of Kuangfu Hanshi, and it's fine for others to shout it. Why is Han Sui so shameless? He clearly wants to kill Yunshan alive on purpose.

Cheng Gongying thought about it, and thought that this plan was not bad. Yunshan, who Yan Xing had just surrendered, was placed under house arrest by Cao Pi in an instant.

At this juncture, Yan Xing must have felt a lot of uneasiness in his heart, and it was a good opportunity to persuade him to come back.

If the Guanzhong Allied Forces can be reorganized, taking advantage of the changes in the world, they may still have a chance to take over Guanzhong.

"Don't worry, Dudu. I will persuade Yanming well when I see him. It was just a misunderstanding before. He will definitely be willing to come back and help the Han Dynasty with Dudu!"

Han Sui nodded in satisfaction, and all the exhaustion on his face disappeared.

The old man's ambition is a thousand miles away.

Mendel's poems are really good.

This time should be the last fight in his life. He tried his best to make the last attempt, and it might not fail.
