Han Sui died, Han Cheng also died, Yang Qiu, Cheng Yi, Liang Xing, and Zhang Hengsi will sharpen their knives in the Jicheng area, ready to move, no one will obey anyone, and they will stalemate there.

And the news of the death of Han Sui and Han Cheng's father and son, I don't know how, spread in Liangzhou, and in just two days, the whole Liangzhou knew the news.

On the third day, Hou Xuan, Ma Wan, Cheng Yin, and Li Chen also came to the foot of Jicheng with their respective armies, and set up camp in a corner outside Jicheng with Yang Qiu, Cheng Yi, Liang Xing, and Zhang Heng.

The eight people are all Han Sui's old department, everyone is unruly, when Han Sui is there, there are still means to suppress them, when Han Sui dies, the nature of these people is exposed, and they all want to take Han Sui's place by themselves.

But the eight people all had their own ghosts, and they didn't agree with each other, so they fought and fought in the area of Jicheng, eight people, eight soldiers and horses, killed each other, and the surroundings of Jicheng suddenly fell into purgatory on earth.

……

In the depths of Longshan at the junction of Anding County and Hanyang County, Ma Chao gathered elite troops to secretly assemble here, and constantly sent scouts to inquire about the news.

In the past few days, the news has drifted towards Ma Chao like snowflakes, Yang Qiu, Cheng Yi, Liang Xing, Zhang Heng, Hou Xuan, Ma Play, Cheng Yin, Li Chen Eight Generals, launched a bloody battle in the Jicheng area, after a day of fighting, the last eight people evolved into two factions, Hou Xuan, Ma Play, Cheng Yin, Li Chen formed an alliance to jointly deal with the attack of Yang Qiu, Cheng Yi, Liang Xing, Zhang Heng, only one day, Jicheng has become a sea of corpses and blood. The people of the city were also affected. Dead to death. Wounded, but no one escaped this catastrophe.

On the second day, Hou Xuan, Ma Wan, Cheng Yin, and Li Chen launched a counterattack against Yang Qiu, Cheng Yi, Liang Xing, and Zhang Heng.

Yang Qiu, Cheng Yi, Liang Xing, Zhang Heng and others were not to be outdone, so they fabricated rumors. It was said that Hou Xuan wanted to usurp power and killed Han Sui and Han Cheng, so he sent people to mobilize troops, and the 35,000 troops who were originally hidden on the border of Hanyang County and Anding County listened to Yang Qiu's slander and believed it to be true, so they led the army to kill him, and fled against the wolf beaten by Hou Xuan, Ma Wan, Cheng Yin, and Li Chen.

Later, Hou Xuan, Ma Wan, Cheng Yin, and Li Chen reassembled a large army and fought to the death with Yang Qiu, Cheng Yi, Liang Xing, and Zhang Heng. No one let anyone, they all fought hard. In just a few days, tens of thousands of people died around Jicheng.

When the news reached Ma Chao's ears, Ma Chao couldn't sit still anymore, and immediately mobilized troops and horses, with all the troops such as Pang De, Ma Dai, and Ma Gang, and took advantage of the fact that Yang Qiu, Cheng Yi, Liang Xing, Zhang Heng, Hou Xuan, Ma Wan, Cheng Yin, Li Chen and others were fighting inseparably, and suddenly killed from behind Yang Qiu, Cheng Yi, Liang Xing, Zhang Heng, Hou Xuan, Ma Wan, Cheng Yin, Li Chen and others, and the troops were divided into four routes, Ma Chao, Pang De, Ma Dai, and Ma Gang each led an army and attacked from four different directions at the same time.

Yang Qiu, Cheng Yi, Liang Xing, Zhang Heng, Hou Xuan, Ma Wan, Cheng Yin, Li Chen and others fought for several days, and they were already exhausted, and many of them were injured, and their subordinates suffered heavy casualties. Suddenly, they were attacked by the horses in advance, backward, left and right, and they were unprepared, and they were killed, and finally scattered as birds and beasts, and retreated with the remnants of the army.

Ma Chao ordered the pursuit, Pang De beheaded Ma Play in the pursuit of the enemy, Ma Dai beheaded Zhang Heng, Ma Gang killed Li Chen, Ma Chao first stabbed Cheng Yin to death, and then killed Liang Xing, and the number of subordinates killed was as high as more than 20,000 people. Only Yang Qiu, Cheng Yi, and Hou Xuan are currently at large.

Hou Xuan fled to Wuwei, Yang Qiu and Cheng Yi fled to Longxi, Ma Chao couldn't catch up, so he had to temporarily withdraw his troops.

Poor Han Sui worked hard to run Liangzhou for more than ten years, and through various means, he recruited eight strong generals and 150,000 troops, and more than 70,000 people died in Jicheng in the past few days, and most of them were elite soldiers in a hundred battles. Although Yang Qiu, Cheng Yi, and Hou Xuan are on the run, they have all been hit hard, and the rest are all defeated by some remnants, which is not enough to compete with Ma Chao at all.

Ma Chao sat on the mountain to watch the tiger fight, and after this battle, he killed 20,000 enemies and captured 40,000, becoming the most powerful separatist in Liangzhou in one fell swoop.

However, the area around Jicheng suffered the devastation of the war, and the damage was very severe, and the people in the city also became victims of the fierce fight of Han Sui's eight generals, and the originally prosperous Jicheng became a pile of ruins in an instant.

In the next few days, Ma Chao has been cleaning the battlefield, or burying the corpse, or burning the corpse, and it took three days to clean up the purgatory ground.

However, there are many graves around Jicheng, the yin qi is too heavy, and the city has become a ruin, and it is impossible to live in it.

Ma Chao did not plan to stay too much in Jicheng, according to the scout's report, Yang Qiu and Cheng Yi led the remnants of the army to flee to Longxi, and Hou Xuan went to Wuwei, Ma Chao divided his troops into two ways, all the way to let Pang De and Ma Dai lead the army, and went to Wuwei to attack Hou Xuan, and he himself led the most elite Ma Jiajun of his subordinates to Longxi.

As for the surrendered soldiers, Ma Chao did not kill them, but asked Ma Gang to lock up all these surrendered soldiers, and those who were willing to surrender were given food, and those who were unwilling to surrender were left to starve. And Ma Chao also asked Ma Gang to temporarily set up camp on the bank of the Wei River in the east of Jicheng, waiting for the good news from him.

Longxi is located in the upper reaches of Weishui, with majestic mountains and rivers and charming scenery. And the dragons and snakes in Longxi are mixed, the Hu and Han people live together, there are both Qiang people, there are Hu people, and there are a few Xiongnu and Xianbei people, but here, the number of Han people is not as large as the Qiang people, Yang Qiu and Cheng Yi fled here, afraid of being found by Ma Chao, so they hid in Tibet, and never figured out where they were hiding.

After Ma Chao led more than 1,000 soldiers and horses to Longxi, he heard that the scout's report was completed, and when he sent the scout to contact the local Qiang people, he wanted to use the power of the Qiang people to find out Yang Qiu and Cheng Yi, and at the same time issued a heavy reward.

In the Qiang tribe, Ma Chao's prestige is extremely high, and the Qiang people know that Ma Chao is looking for Yang Qiu and Cheng Yi, one to ten, ten to hundred, and it only took two days to find out the hiding place of Yang Qiu and Cheng Yi.

It turned out that Yang Qiu and Cheng Yi knew that Ma Chao would use the Qiang people to find him, so they had always avoided the living habitat of the Qiang people, and instead hid in the Baishi Mountain, where there were relatively few Qiang people.

But no matter how careful Yang Qiu and Cheng Yi were, the fox would still show its tail sometimes, and the Qiang people's tracking ability was very good, so it only took a very short time to find out where Yang Qiu and Cheng Yi were hiding.

However, the Qiang people did not attack Yang Qiu and Cheng Yi, mainly because Yang Qiu and Cheng Yi still brought thousands of soldiers and horses, plus they were hiding in the mountains, and the Qiang people were afraid of their force and did not dare to attack rashly, so they had to report to Ma Chao.

When he learned that there was no river in the mountain, only a lake at the foot of the mountain was the only source of water, he asked the Qiang people to help him close the mountain, block the water source, and secretly opened a big net, quietly waiting for Yang Qiu and Cheng Yi to throw themselves into the net.

A day later, all the soldiers sent by Yang Qiu and Cheng Yi to fetch water were captured alive by Ma Chao and detained.

Yang Qiu and Cheng Yi learned that Ma Chao had arrived at the foot of the mountain and controlled the water source, so they didn't dare to go down, and they didn't let the soldiers go down the mountain, so they worked against Ma Chao.

But in the evening, more and more soldiers couldn't help but be thirsty, or secretly ran down the mountain to drink water, of course, these soldiers were all captured alive by Ma Chao.

Ma Chao saw that the effect of waiting for the rabbit was too slow, so he deliberately let one person go, and told that person that if anyone could capture Yang Qiu and Cheng Yi alive and send them to him, he would be rewarded.

After that person secretly returned to the mountain, he spread Ma Chao's words, and the soldiers soon formed a unanimous opinion, that is, to arrest Yang Qiu and Cheng Yi and send them to Ma Chao.

At night, although Yang Qiu and Cheng Yi were thirsty, they couldn't bear to go down the mountain, and in the second half of the night, when they were half asleep and half awake, they were suddenly tied up by their own subordinates and knocked unconscious by a dull stick.

When Yang Qiu and Cheng Yi woke up again, they saw Ma Chao standing in front of them, and they were so frightened that they forgot all about the pain in their heads.

"You two are quite capable of running, do you have the ability to run farther?" Ma Chao stood proudly in front of Yang Qiu and Cheng Yi, and said with a smile.

Yang Qiu and Cheng Yi both looked lost, and then Yang Qiu opened his mouth and said: "Since I have been captured by you, if I want to kill or chop, listen to you!" ”

Cheng Yi hurriedly begged for mercy: "General Ma, as long as you don't kill me, I am willing to be a cow and a horse for you, and I will be loyal to you in this life and this life, and I ask General Ma to spare my life!" ”

One is not afraid of danger and is bent on death, and the other is as timid as a mouse and hurriedly begs for mercy. Ma Chao stood in front of these two people and weighed it himself, he was in need of talents now, Yang Qiu was extremely talented, if it could be used by him, it would be a good thing. Although Cheng Yi is greedy for life and afraid of death, his martial arts are good, and he can still be used when he charges.

So, Ma Chao immediately ordered someone to loosen Cheng Yi's bonds, and directly expressed his willingness to surrender Cheng Yi, Cheng Yi was grateful, and bowed to Ma Chao again and again.

Ma Chao walked up to Yang Qiu and asked, "Chengyi has fallen, what about you?" ”

"I'm still the same sentence, if you want to kill or chop, listen to it!" Yang Qiudao.

Ma Chao said: "General Yang, I respect you as a man. There is a saying that seems to be the death of a confidant. Han Sui is such a treacherous person, you are willing to drive him, and now that he is dead, do you also plan to die for this treacherous person? ”

Yang Qiu was silent.

Ma Chao said: "General Yang, think about it!" Is it worth dying for someone like Han Sui! (To be continued......)
