432 Liangzhou Rebellion (19)
At this moment, the government of Jicheng is still immersed in a deep sleep, and last night Han Sui hosted a banquet for Dong Zhao, the messenger of the Son of Heaven, in the mansion, and the two were drunk happily.
When Ma Chao and Pang De surrounded the entire government with a thousand elite soldiers, they directly led the troops to break into the government, and the guards in the government came to resist, but were directly killed by Ma Chao and Pang De, and then grabbed a few family members, asked where Han Sui was, and went straight to Han Sui's room.
"Bang!"
With a loud bang, Ma Chao kicked the door open, Han Sui was sleeping soundly on the bed, and was suddenly awakened by this violent sound, and as soon as he opened his eyes, he suddenly saw Ma Chao walking to his bedside with a blood-drenched long sword, which made him suddenly feel a spirit, and he felt an unprecedented chill all over his body.
"Han Sui dog thief! Today next year will be your death day! Ma Chao shouted, raised the long sword in his hand and slashed at Han Sui.
Han Sui screamed in surprise and quickly rolled up from the bed, but he didn't dodge Ma Chao's long sword, and when he felt a heart-rending pain coming from his shoulder, his entire arm broke off from his body and fell directly on the bed, while blood kept gushing out from his broken left arm.
Ma Chao failed to kill Han Sui with a sword, but cut off an arm, seeing that Han Sui wanted to escape, he jumped over with an arrow step, and made up a sword towards Han Sui, and a sword pierced into Han Sui's heart, Han Sui screamed, and then he whimpered for his life, until he died, he couldn't figure out how Ma Chao came to his room.
With a "poof", Han Sui's body fell directly in a pool of blood, and Ma Chao looked at Han Sui's body. The anger that has been hidden in the heart for many years. All of them were released at once.
Since he was sensible. Han Sui, an old thing that was harming Liangzhou, and was a character that Ma Teng was often afraid of, finally died under his sword today, and suddenly felt a sense of relief.
Ma Chao let out a long breath, and his whole body relaxed a lot, but after a while, new problems and troubles followed, and he remembered. He is still in Jicheng, which is the hinterland of Han Sui's forces, and the little force he leads alone is not enough to fight against Han Sui's entire army.
So Ma Chao beheaded Han Sui and prepared to withdraw from Jicheng immediately.
At this time, Pound came over from outside, threw Han Cheng in a coma, and brought in a person dressed as a housekeeper. Pang De glanced at Han Sui's head in Ma Chao's hand, and said to Ma Chao: "Lord, Han Cheng is not a good bird. I just learned that Han Cheng was using us. I want to borrow a knife to kill someone. ”
"Borrowing a knife to kill someone?" Ma Chaohu asked suspiciously.
Pound nodded, pushed the man dressed as a housekeeper over, and said to the housekeeper: "You can tell the lord what is going on!" ”
"Whoa!"
The person dressed as a family member is Ma Chao's meticulous work in Jicheng, and he has always been investigating the news as a family member, and several times Han Sui wanted to attack Ma Teng and Ma Chao, all because he learned the news in advance, which made Ma Teng and Ma Chao prepare early, and made Han Sui unable to start, which can be said to be indispensable.
Just listened to the Ding family open his mouth and concisely explained Han Cheng's conspiracy to Ma Chao, and in a few simple words, he told Han Cheng the conspiracy that he had been planning for a long time.
It turned out that Han Cheng was not Han Sui's biological son, but Han Sui's nephew. Han Cheng's mother was Han Sui's sister-in-law, and Han Sui has always coveted her sister-in-law's beauty and wanted to dominate her sister-in-law. Later, Han Sui took advantage of his brother's absence, and the overlord took the bow and directly carried his sister-in-law to bed, but he didn't want his brother to forget to take things, so he happened to come back and bumped into Han Sui's ugly behavior, and after a violent beating, he drove Han Sui out of the house.
Han Sui held a grudge, so he killed his brother by treacherous schemes, and then seized his sister-in-law. However, Han Sui didn't know that Han Cheng was the widow of Han Sui's eldest brother, and when Han Sui occupied his sister-in-law, his sister-in-law was already pregnant, and later gave birth to Han Cheng.
Later, Han Sui got married and had many women, but because Han Cheng's mother always put a medicine in the food that Han Sui ate, Han Sui was never able to have children, so Han Cheng became Han Sui's only son. Although there was an exception later, Han Sui got one of his concubines pregnant, but fortunately it was a daughter who gave birth, so as not to let Han Cheng's status be unsafe.
After that, Han Sui has been busy with intrigue and no longer covets women, coupled with excessive indulgence in his early years, he has been in poor health, so Han Sui has never had a woman anymore, and rarely does anything between men and women.
After that, Han Cheng's mother raised Han Cheng until he was ten years old, and felt that Han Cheng was sensible, so she told Han Cheng the truth of the matter, and let Han Cheng firmly remember that Han Sui was his father's enemy, so that Han Sui secretly accumulated strength to avenge his father.
Han Cheng kept it firmly in his heart, and followed his mother's teachings to always remember this matter. Five years later, his mother died, and when she was dying, she specially asked Han Cheng to avenge her father.
Subsequently, Han Cheng turned grief into strength, always recognized the thief as his father, began to follow his father to fight in all directions, and tried his best to win over the people in the army, after several years of careful planning, finally had an achievement, Yang Qiu, Cheng Yi, Liang Xing, Zhang Heng, the four generals chose to stand on Han Cheng's side for various reasons, and plotted to overthrow Han Sui.
The tragic death of Han Cheng's wife happened to be a fuse, and Han Cheng took this incident as a base point and officially launched a plan to retaliate against Han Sui.
However, Han Cheng did not dare to act rashly, and after some thought, he decided to borrow Ma Chao's power to kill Han Sui, and then he united with Yang Qiu, Cheng Yi, Liang Xing, and Zhang Heng to eliminate Ma Chao, so as to achieve the goal of avenging Han Sui, so as to quickly obtain a succession from Han Sui.
After hearing these words, Ma Chao couldn't help frowning, and said slowly: "What a plan to kill people with a knife, a good praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches, I almost fell in love with Han Cheng's way." The upper beam is not correct and the lower beam is crooked, and it is really not fake at all. Han Sui is treacherous, Han Cheng is more treacherous than Han Sui, if I hadn't discovered Han Cheng's abnormality, I would never suspect him, then Han Cheng would be able to kill two birds with one stone, kill Han Sui, and get rid of me...... Hum! It's a pity, God bless me Ma Chao and don't let Han Cheng's treacherous plan succeed! ”
Pang De said: "Lord, a person like Han Cheng, it is better to kill him directly, and it will be a hundred." ”
"It's easy to kill him, but killing him won't do us any good. If I'm not mistaken, now the four generals Yang Qiu, Cheng Yi, Liang Xing, and Zhang Heng should be on the way to Jicheng with troops. If we don't leave here without a good time, there's a good chance we'll never be able to leave again. Ma Chao said.
"What does the lord mean by using Han Cheng as a shield to prevent Yang Qiu, Cheng Yi, Liang Xing, and Zhang Heng from attacking us?" Pound asked.
"Hmm." Ma Chaodao.
Pang De said: "But lord, have you ever thought that Yang Qiu, Cheng Yi, Liang Xing, and Zhang Heng are all Han Sui's subordinates, and Han Sui treats them well, why do they follow Han Cheng to oppose Han Sui?" ”
Ma Chao couldn't figure it out for a while, and asked, "Why do you think they want to oppose Han Sui?" ”
"Han Sui is treacherous, none of the generals under him are good things, although most of them are martial artists, but there are also people like Yang Qiu who are both wise and brave, and this time Yang Qiu is also involved, which shows that things are not so simple. In the end, the general thought that Yang Qiu's purpose would be the same as Han Cheng's, just to use Han Cheng, wait until they were finished, and then kill Han Cheng, and then Yang Qiu and they would each dominate one side? Pound analyzed.
Ma Chao said: "Well, what you said is not unreasonable, Yang Qiu and they all have heavy troops in their hands, if it weren't for Han Sui's treacherous methods, which made people unguardable, these people would have already dominated one side." ”
"Lord, no matter what their purpose is, but Jicheng has become a dangerous city, and it is not advisable to stay for a long time, so let's leave here as much as possible. Now that Han Sui is dead, if Han Cheng is killed again, the generals under Han Sui will be leaderless. Among them, there will definitely be many people who covet Han Sui's position, and when the time comes, there will inevitably be a big turmoil, we just need to wait and see what happens. Pang Dejian said.
Ma Chao thought for a while, and finally listened to Pang De's opinion, ordered Han Cheng to be beheaded, and asked people to carry the heads of Han Sui and Han Cheng's father and son to hang on the gate of Jicheng. After that, Ma Chao asked the soldiers to loot the treasury in Jicheng, taking away everything that could be taken away from the treasury, and burning everything that could not be taken away.
For a time, there was turmoil in Jicheng, and Ma Chao and Pang De had already captured the four gates and could retreat at any time.
In the end, the group was concentrated at the north gate, Ma Chao and Pang De ordered the soldiers and horses, but they did not lose a single person, so they left Jicheng in a mighty way.
The city was on fire, the government office, the government treasury, the arsenal, and the granary were all on fire, and the soldiers in the military camp came to put out the fire, and Dong Zhao in the government also woke up from his sleep, and escaped from the government before the fire expanded, and later heard that Han Sui and Han Cheng were killed, he was taken aback, escaped from Jicheng overnight, rode a fast horse, and went all the way to Yongzhou.
In normal times, after a night of fighting by the soldiers and civilians in the city, the fire was finally brought under control, but the government office, government treasury, arsenal, and granary were basically reduced to ashes, especially the government office, which was burned by the fire and only an empty shell.
And the news that Han Sui and Han Cheng were killed also spread quickly in the city, and the soldiers and civilians in the city were panicked.
At noon, Yang Qiu, Liang Xing, Cheng Yi, Zhang Heng and others each led the army to Jicheng, but the result was unexpected, they saw Han Sui and Han Cheng's heads hanging on the city gate, and black smoke was still emitting from time to time in the city.
After the four of them entered the city, they learned that Jicheng was raided by a force of unknown origin last night, and Han Sui and Han Cheng were both killed.
At this time, Yang Qiu, Liang Xing, Cheng Yi, Zhang Heng and others all had a light in their eyes, and they were arguing about who would inherit Han Sui's position and take charge of the power of Liangzhou...... (To be continued......)
