Chapter 890: Han Sui is killed
Ma Xiu looked at Ma Chao and asked, "Big brother, how do we kill Han Sui?" β
Ma Chao snorted coldly and said in a cold voice: "Han Sui is not wary of us yet, it can be done easily." Hmph, how Han Sui can deal with us, how can we deal with him. Tonight, he invited Han Sui to the camp tent and took the opportunity to kill Han Sui. β
Ma Yunlu asked, "Big brother, if we kill Han Sui, can we escape?" β
Ma Chao thought for a moment, and said confidently: "Why run away, let's leave openly." β
After Ma Xiu and Ma Yunlu heard this, they both showed puzzled expressions, and they didn't understand what Ma Chao could do?
Ma Chao didn't care about Ma Yunlu and Ma Xiu, he directly reached out to find a smart and clever soldier, whispered a word, and ordered the soldier to go to Han Sui's camp.
Ma Chao watched the soldiers leave, with a cold look in his eyes.
Preemptive, last!
Han Sui was unkind to him, and he couldn't be blamed for being unjust.
β¦β¦
After the soldiers reported to the Chinese army, Han Sui met with the soldiers sent by Ma Chao.
Han Sui had just discussed with Yan Xing about dealing with Ma Chao, but he didn't expect that Ma Chao would get the news immediately. And in Han Sui's heart, Ma Chao is an ant under his feet, and he can easily step on it to death.
Han Sui was unwary of Ma Chao in his heart, so he didn't take Ma Chao to heart.
The soldier reported that Ma Chao had something important to do and asked Han Sui to come over.
Han Sui instinctively asked, "It's late at night, what else can Meng Qi do?" Go back and talk about it tomorrow. β
The soldier stubbornly shook his head and said, "General Han, my lord said that your army was defeated, and now there is a problem in Longxi, and the troops and financial resources under your command are unsustainable. Therefore, my lord is willing to donate all the money accumulated by the Ma family over the years and give it to General Han to recruit soldiers, buy ordnance, and strengthen the defense of Jicheng. β
Han Sui rolled his eyes and immediately asked, "Huaili is occupied by Wang Can first, and the Ma family still has extra money?" β
The soldier chuckled and said, "There are still three holes in the cunning rabbit, let alone a human?" β
The soldier didn't explain much, just pointed.
But Han Sui understood and agreed with the soldier's statement.
The people of the Ma family have lived in Huaili for generations, and there must be other sources of wealth. In particular, Ma Teng has occupied Fufeng County for many years and has collected a lot of money. Therefore, Han Sui thought that Ma Teng would secretly hide some of the money and use it as the capital for Ma Chao to recruit soldiers, and now Ma Chao took the initiative to donate money, which made Han Sui very happy.
Han Sui stood up with a smile, nodded and said, "Let's go, I will go to see Meng Qi immediately." β
After saying that, Han Sui got up and walked outside the tent.
He listened to the soldier's words, and was already thinking about taking all of Ma Chao's money and property, and then killing Ma Chao. In addition, he was going to kill Ma Chao tomorrow, and the time was limited, so Han Sui had to cheat out the money hidden by the Ma family overnight in order to feel at ease.
Han Sui thought that he could get a huge amount of wealth before killing Ma Chao, and he was very excited in his heart.
After he left the camp, he took a few guards and walked towards Ma Chao's camp.
In the camp tent, Ma Chao, Ma Xiu and Ma Yunlu were sitting, and more than ten soldiers under their command were not in the camp tent, but guarded outside the camp tent.
When Han Sui saw Ma Chao, a smile appeared on his old face, and he said with a smile: "Virtuous nephew, you are really in urgent need, uncle is here to thank you." Alas, our army was routed by Wang Can, and we needed money to recruit soldiers and buy grain and grass. You have to donate money, which is really a blessing in the snow for the army, and it can be called timely rain. β
After Ma Chao heard this, the smile on his face became more and more intense.
He stood up, pulled a piece of parchment from his body, and placed it on the desk.
The parchment was prepared by Ma Chao before, specifically to attract Han Sui's attention.
Han Sui saw the parchment on the desk, his pupils shrank, and a greedy look flashed in his eyes. Parchment is a good material for outlining maps, and when Han Sui saw it, his heart was on fire. It was wonderful to be able to get the Ma family's money before Ma Chao died. At this moment, Han Sui had a very good impression of Ma Chao, the titular nephew.
Han Sui left his guards, took two steps forward, and walked towards the desk.
Ma stood beside the desk with a big grin, waving his hand for Han Sui to watch.
Han Sui did not doubt him, and walked happily to the desk, looking down at the parchment carefully.
Han Sui walked to Ma Chao's side, and the guards under his command did not follow, but just stood at the door of the tent. These guards didn't know that Han Sui had the idea of killing Ma Chao, and they didn't know that Ma Chao had the idea of killing Han Sui. In the eyes of several soldiers, Han Sui and Ma Chao were uncles and nephews, and there was no danger.
It is precisely because of this relationship that Ma Chao has the opportunity to do it.
Han Sui lowered his head and muttered to himself, "Meng Qi, this map is a bit complicated, I can't understand it!" As Han Sui spoke, Ma Chao's hand gradually touched the hilt of the sword at his waist.
When Han Sui looked up at Ma Chao, his eyes widened.
Under the light of the oil lamp, the bright sword light flashed quickly.
"Poof!"
The sword light fell, and Han Sui's head fell in response.
"Bang!"
After the round head landed on the ground, it rolled twice, and then it was motionless. Han Sui's head stayed on the ground, and his face still showed an expression of curiosity, wanting to find out the detailed location of the map outlined on the parchment from Ma Chao's mouth, but Han Sui didn't expect Ma Chao to raise his sword and cut off his head with a sword.
The headless corpse spewed blood, lost its head, and fell to the ground.
Han Sui's personal soldiers were all stunned when they saw Ma Chao suddenly kill Han Sui.
They didn't understand, they couldn't figure out why Ma Chao suddenly killed Han Sui? Ma Chao was expressionless, looked at the few guards brought by Han Sui, and said: "The general under Wang Can's command, Lu Meng, has captured Longxi County and is leading his troops to Jicheng, and we still have Wang Can's army behind us, and it is already inevitable to be defeated." β
When several soldiers heard this, they were all surprised.
The news of the day is really true.
At this time, a junior colonel shouted: "Ma Chao, the general didn't treat you badly, why did you do such a thing?" β
Ma Chao sneered: "Everything has a cause and effect, Han Sui saw that he couldn't stop Wang Can's army, and he was already ready to surrender." Not only that, but he wants to kill me before surrendering. Han Sui is unkind to me, and of course I won't be caught. After finishing speaking, Ma Chao stared at the little colonel and said, "If you want to avenge Han Sui, then come." β
Ma Chao held a long sword in his hand with a serious expression on his face.
When the little colonel heard this, a hesitant expression appeared on his face.
After a moment, the colonel sighed and turned to leave. Several of the guards who were with Xiao Xiao also turned around and prepared to leave, after they knew the news of the destruction of Longxi, they had no idea of staying in the camp.
As for Han Sui, he is already dead and cannot come back to life.
A flash of joy flashed on Ma Chao's face, and he shouted, "Wait a minute!" β
Xiao Xiao stopped, turned to look at Ma Chao, and asked, "Ma Mengqi, what else do you have to do?" β
Ma Chao took two steps forward and said with a sincere expression: "Han Sui is dead, and the army has no commander, and it is impossible to stop Wang Can, and it is already about to collapse." I am ready to leave Xiliang and go to the princes of the Central Plains to seek a new way out, and you are willing to leave with me and go to the Central Plains for a while. β
Xiao Xiao thought for a moment, and frowned slightly.
In the end, the little colonel nodded and agreed to submit to Ma Chao. Han Sui is dead, they still have to find a new way out, and it is also a good choice to follow Ma Chao.
Seeing that the colonel agreed, several guards also surrendered to Ma Chao.
Seeing that a few soldiers agreed, Ma Chao was really relieved.
He looked happy and whispered, "Let's leave the camp at once as no soldiers find out!" Ma Chao left the camp with Ma Xiu, Ma Yunlu and Han Sui's personal guards, and then took more than a dozen soldiers guarding outside the camp out of the camp and quickly disappeared into the night.
All the way away, there was not a single soldier to stop Ma Chao.
Time passed gradually, but no one found out that Han Sui had been killed.
Early the next morning, when Yan Xing arrived at Ma Chao's camp, the tent was empty, leaving only Han Sui's cold body. Not only that, but the news that Wang Can's general LΓΌ Meng captured Longxi, and Wang Can's army caught up again, and the soldiers found themselves cornered and had begun to flee in all directions.
If one or two soldiers fled, it could be stopped.
But there were so many soldiers fleeing in all directions that they couldn't stop it at all, so they could only watch the soldiers leave one by one.
As soon as Han Sui died, the trees fell and scattered, and the army completely collapsed.
PsοΌ The fourth watch was completed, and the rest was over.
