The Fengshui River in spring is beautiful and gentle, the clear river water sings all the way, carefree, and the flowers on the river bank are particularly enchanting against the backdrop of the tender green grass. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
Ma Chao leaned under a big tree, silently looking at the river, letting the warm breeze blow his cheeks.
Should I betray Han Sui? Am I right or wrong to do this?
Zhang Liao's words woke him up. Without strength, you can't take revenge until you die. Whether it is Han Sui or Northern Xinjiang, they first consider their own interests, no one will harm their own interests to help others, they only give themselves a little sympathy and mercy at most. It's ridiculous that he was so naΓ―ve that he believed that Han Sui and his father's group of old friends would help him avenge his hatred.
I want strength, I want the strength to take revenge.
Han Sui didn't do anything wrong, if he was himself, he would not help others take revenge, let alone risk the lives of his subordinates to do a meaningless thing. Han Sui was right, and it was himself who was wrong. He is ignorant, stupid, reckless, and irritable, and if he continues like this, he will have no revenge and his life will be lost.
Zhang Liao left Chang'an after sending himself to the barracks. I didn't send him, although I was very grateful to Zhang Liao, but Zhang Liao's real purpose was not for himself, he was for Northern Xinjiang and for Han Sui.
Zhang Liao's actions told him that in this world, there is no friendship at all, no brotherly righteousness, what life and death are the same, and what two ribs are stabbed, are all fake. Without strength, you are a dog who is humiliated and manipulated at will.
Who wants to be a brother to a dog? Who would tie their fate to a dog?
However, when you're a wolf, it's a different story.
I'm going to be a wolf, a ruthless and cruel wolf.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
A group of iron horsemen rushed along the riverbank, shattering the silence of the riverside in an instant.
Pang De, Ma Xiu, and Ma Tiefei dismounted and hurriedly met Ma Chao.
Looking at his two younger brothers, Ma Xiu and Ma Tie, Ma Chao remembered his father who died in the Central Plains and many relatives. A year ago, he still had his parents, wife, and many brothers and sisters, but now, except for the second brother Ma Xiu, the third brother Ma Tie, and the fourth sister Ma Yunlu who stayed in his hometown, the rest of the relatives are gone, and they were all killed by Cao Cao's butcher and Yuan Shao's hypocrite.
Ma Chao's determination to take revenge has become even more resolute.
Looking at his righteous brother Pang De, Ma Chao asked, "Ling Ming, are you ready?" β
Pang De nodded and said, "Now it is my brother Pang Rou who is stationed in Huaili City. He has promised that when the time comes, he will open the city gates, let us set fire to the grain and grass, and then return to Longxi with us. β
After a pause, Pound asked again, "Is Ma Dai already gone?" β
"He has rushed back to Longxi day and night to borrow troops from my grandmother's tribe." Ma Chao approached the three of them and said in a low voice, "White Horse Qiangqu Shuai Hongri and Han Sui are mortal enemies, with his help, even if Han Sui does not die, he will not want to dominate the Western Frontier and do whatever he wants." β
"Meng Qi, although Han Sui has been crisscrossing Western Xinjiang for more than ten years, he is already old, and now it's our turn." Pang De waved the horsewhip in his hand and said arrogantly, "If we can successfully kill Han Sui this time, how many people under Chang'an City can escape back to the western frontier?" Western Xinjiang will soon be our world. β
Ma Chao took a deep breath, his whole body was suddenly filled with murderous aura, and said in a deep voice: "Kill Han Sui, let's go back to Western Xinjiang." β
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Han Sui looked at Ma Chao, who was sitting opposite, and was very pleased.
After Ma Chao left the prison tent, it was as if he had changed someone. He combed his long hair, trimmed his beard, not noisy or noisy, except for the melancholy and painful eyes, the current Ma Chao is no different from the past, and his body is full of high fighting spirit.
Han Sui was very happy. Ma Chao, the unruly tiger, was still tamed by himself, and he regained his senses and got rid of his great hatred. This is a good sign.
Tonight, Han Sui invited Ma Chao and wanted to chat with him casually, and by the way, he told Ma Chao his thoughts about the battle in Guanzhong, and asked him not to worry, this revenge will be avenged sooner or later. Ma Chao is sober now, and he should be able to listen.
However, when Ma Chao walked into Han Sui's military tent and saluted him respectfully, he suddenly pulled out his war knife, slashed it out with a thunderbolt, and shouted angrily: "Go die......
Han Sui was taken aback, instinctively fell to the ground, and kicked the case table in front of him out.
Han Sui is also a general who has been on the battlefield for many years, and he has good military force. In Li Yi's summoning system, Han Sui's five-dimensional values are 89 for commander, 80 for force, 81 for resourcefulness, 65 for politics, and 80 for charisma. Because of the force of up to 80, even if he was suddenly attacked by Ma Chao, who had a force of up to 97, he still reacted.
The war knife leaked down, and the case was cut off in a few moments.
Ma Chao hurried further, and the war knife roared down again.
Han Sui was dumbfounded, watching as the war knife slashed into his chest.
Yan Xing pounced in, his eyes cracked, and he shouted angrily: "Ma Chao, you brute ......"
Yan Xing's force is also very good, as high as 85, if he fights head-on, he can also help Han Sui resist Ma Chao for a few rounds, but at this time, there are still more than 20 steps away from Ma Chao, and there is no time to rescue. In a fit of rage, Yan Xing could only raise his crossbow as fast as he could and shoot out the crossbow arrows.
The crossbow arrow roared away, heading straight for Ma Chao's back.
Ma Chao's knife can hack Han Sui to death, but he himself will definitely be killed by an arrow. Ma Chao chose to fly in front of him, and at the moment when he was able to dodge the crossbow arrows, he turned over and jumped up, and the battle knife slashed at Han Sui for the third time.
Han Sui took advantage of Yan Xing's arrow to shoot Ma Chao and force him to dodge in this short moment, and pulled out the long sword at his waist. Yan Xing also rushed over. The guards outside the tent also rushed in.
Swords collide and sparks splash everywhere.
"Kill ......" Ma Chao was bound to cut off Han Sui's long sword and cut into Han Sui's waist and abdomen, and blood burst out.
"Kill ......" Yan Xing heard Han Sui's scream, his anger suddenly exploded, and with a heaven-shattering roar, his sturdy body rose into the air, and the human knife was one, and he collided with Ma Chao, who raised the knife for the fourth time.
Ma Chaolei roared, the castration of the war knife remained unchanged, his left hand turned into a fist, and he smashed it fiercely against Yan Xing, "Get out of ......"
Han Sui endured the huge pain, rolled and crawled, and moved his body vigorously.
Yan Xing's sword slashed into the air, and Ma Chao's fist smashed into his chest. Yan Xing screamed miserably, opened his mouth and spurted out a mouthful of blood, and his body that was flying in the air suddenly flew upside down.
Ma Chao's strength was concentrated on this amazing punch, and the battle knife failed to cut off Han Sui's head and chopped Han Sui's shoulder blade.
When Ma Chao was about to raise his sword for the fifth time, the guards rushed over with spears in hand.
"Kill ......" Ma Chao roared wildly, his sword was flying, his fists and feet were used together, and he punished eleven people in one breath, and when he rushed out of the tent, he glanced back.
In the big tent, the dead bodies were in disarray, and the blood was so full of blood that there was no longer a single person standing.
Pound, Ma Xiu, and Ma Tie led the iron cavalry into the gate.
Ma Chao and a group of guards took advantage of the chaos to break out of the encirclement, joined the main iron cavalry, and rushed towards Huaili City.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Han Sui was seriously injured, the grain and grass accumulated in Huaili City were burned, and the situation of the Western Xinjiang Army suddenly became extremely dangerous.
Yang Qiu, Cheng Yi and others immediately prepared to evacuate Chang'an.
"No, I can't. At this time, Yuan Shao will inevitably follow the pursuit, and the army may be defeated. Han Sui was dying, and tried his best to stop it.
"General, the army has no food and grass, how can it be supported?" Yang Qiu was frightened and asked eagerly.
Han Sui asked, "How much grain and grass are there in the two camps of Feng and Ho?" β
Yang Qiu replied: "If you save it, it can last for ten days." β
"Then let the army of foot soldiers withdraw first." Han Sui endured the pain and said in a trembling voice, "Remember, don't withdraw during the day, and don't withdraw until night." Order the Iron Cavalry to go around and kill as many enemy scouts as possible to prevent news from leaking. β
Cheng Yi asked again: "General, when will the iron cavalry evacuate?" β
"Urgently tell General Zhang Liao, who is stable, and General Huang Zhong of Hedong, ask them to send troops to Guanzhong, thinking that they should respond." Han Sui said bitterly, "After the infantry army withdrew to Chencang, the iron cavalry army began to evacuate. β
The Western Xinjiang army repeatedly attacked Guanzhong and was repeatedly defeated, and the retreat was often full of dangers. At this moment, Han Sui's words were like a holy decree to Yang Qiu and the others, no one doubted it, and no one disobeyed it.
Cheng Gongying asked, "General, will the Northern Frontier Army help?" β
Cheng Gongying's surname is Cheng Gong, his resourcefulness is as high as 80, and he plays the role of a military advisor in Han Sui's army. In the last years of Zhongping, when Han Sui raised troops, he always followed Han Sui and was Han Sui's absolute confidant.
The military advisors were not hopeful about the future, and Han Sui also knew the urgency of the current situation, and said with a wry smile: "The Northern Xinjiang Army will definitely help." If we all withdraw into the western frontier, Yuan Shaobing will occupy the entire Guanzhong without bloodshed, which is not a good thing for Hebei. β
"The general still wants to occupy Fufeng County?" Yang Qiu asked in surprise, "Ma Chao has already returned to the Western Frontier, and the Western Frontier is about to be in chaos, where do we still have the strength to occupy Fufeng County at this time?" β
"Ma Chao is still a child, and he has no strength, so there is nothing to worry about. No one in Western Xinjiang will follow him, and Western Xinjiang will not be in chaos. Han Sui shook his hand lightly and said indifferently, "It's not easy for us to send a large army to attack Guanzhong this time, so we can't just go back with nothing to gain and be disgraced." We withdrew to Qishan, held the line of Wugong and Yicheng, and then negotiated peace with Yuan Shao and forced him to give up Fufeng County to us. β
"In the past, Ma Teng was in Fufeng County, and we could still get some help more or less. Now that Ma Teng is gone, and Fufeng County is gone, Western Xinjiang will be even more miserable. Hebei is too far away from us, and that little relief is a drop in the bucket for Western Xinjiang, and it will not help. If Yuan Shao blockades Western Xinjiang, we can't buy some grain from Hanzhong. Han Sui looked at everyone and said solemnly, "Fufeng County is very important to us, and we must not lose it. β
"Make peace with Yuan Shao?" Yang Qiu and the others widened their eyes in disbelief. At this moment, the army has reached the point of exhaustion, will Yuan Shao negotiate peace with Western Xinjiang? (To be continued.) )
