PS: Thank you for the monthly pass support of cljsscg book friends, thank you!

Jicheng has been lowered, the gateway to Liangzhou has been opened, and the counties along the way are exposed under the iron hooves of Li Li's army.

In a few days, Longxi County, Anding County, Wudu County, Beidi County and other counties around Longyou heard the wind and surrendered, and they all went to Li Li, expressing their willingness to surrender to the imperial court, and asked the Xiliang army to enter the counties and counties.

As for the surrender, Li Li handed over the matter to Jia Xu to be responsible for handling, and instructed his generals to obey the dispatch of the military division, while he himself led the troops to capture Jincheng.

Soldiers are fast.

On the second day of the capture of Jicheng, at the beginning of the hour, Li Li personally led the Qinglong Battalion, the trapped camp and the three battalions of Jin Yiwei to continue to advance westward and go straight to Jincheng.

This time, Li Li's army took the power of Dasheng to kill Jincheng, the troops were in full swing, and the morale was high, trying to take Jincheng County in one go and speed up the process of pacifying Xiliang Prefecture.

Jincheng County governs Yunwu City, the county guard.

Back hall, inside the dormitory.

"Ahem, ahem!" Suddenly there was a violent coughing sound from the couch.

"Alas, alas, alas———"

After the coughing stopped, the man lying on the couch gasped for breath and let out a melancholy lament.

Obviously, the man on the couch was already seriously ill, his cough was dry, his breathing was rapid and heavy, his sigh was weak, and his body was extremely weak.

This is a sign of eternal life, that is, a sign of terminal illness.

"Father, don't move, lie down quickly. The father is concerned about the Hanyang War, and the child will tell you in detail, don't hurt your vitality. ”

On the side of the bed, Yan Yan helped the skinny Han Sui to lie down slowly, and said urgently with a concerned expression.

Yes, a seriously ill man lying on a couch. It was General Zhenxi, Jincheng Taishou Han Sui.

A few months ago, Han Sui and Ma Teng teamed up to attack the city at night, but they were ambushed by the Wuwei army, and tens of thousands of troops were besieged in the city. When he was in a desperate situation, Han Sui was carelessly shot in the chest by a dark arrow, but fortunately, his son Yan Yan risked death to save him, and finally broke out of the encirclement, finally picked up a life, and escaped back to Jincheng alive.

When he returned to Jincheng, Han Sui was already dying. It was Yan Yan who worked tirelessly to visit famous doctors, and finally pulled Han Sui back from the brink of death.

Han Sui, who had a hidden arrow in his body, was both lucky and unlucky. The arrow hit the left side of the chest, straight into the heart. Apparently a fatal arrow. But fortunately, Han Sui's heart location is slightly different from that of ordinary people. He was obese. The body is bloated and wide. The position of the heart is slightly an inch away from the normal person, which is exactly this inch difference, prompting him to narrowly avoid the doom of an arrow piercing the heart. After the war, after the careful treatment of more than a dozen langzhong, he survived the catastrophe again and survived.

However. Han Sui's nightmare ensued, and the arrow of the dark arrow that shot him was poisonous, the poison of the black horn. The incubation period of this poison is several days. The arrows have not turned black, so they are not easily noticed. But then it will have a sharp attack, and once the toxin penetrates into the heart, there is no cure for it, and it is impossible to escape death.

Subsequently, Han Sui was seriously ill, and more than a dozen Lang Zhong guarded the door of the bedroom day and night, waiting for the call at any time. And Yizi Yan Yan also took great pains to collect all kinds of precious herbs for him, no matter whether they were useful or not, as long as they were supplements that could nourish qi and continue his life, all of them were used by him.

In this way, Han Sui was bedridden for a long time, and he survived for several months, and he has survived until now.

Over the past few months, Han Sui's body has deteriorated, losing weight day by day, and his originally obese body has gradually become thinner. Today, he is skinny, with a sallow face, severely sunken eye sockets, bulging eyeballs, and a yellow and pale complexion. Compared with his previous appearance, it seems to be a earth-shaking upheaval, judging two people.

Being bedridden for a long time made Han Sui's physical functions gradually fail, he had difficulty breathing, and he had difficulty speaking, so he could only rely on ginseng soup and herbs to continue his life every day.

After learning that he was hopeless, Han Sui, who had always been cunning and treacherous, went against the norm, and found that he had generally done two major things.

The first thing is that he married his only daughter Han Ling to Yan Yan, and the marriage date was set for three months later. According to the Han etiquette system, the marriage period of the emperor's marriage was postponed for one year, the prince's house was half a year, the minister's house needed to wait for at least three months, and the commoner's marriage was one month. Although Han Sui was highly poisoned and died shortly, he had a good name in his life, and he could not lose his identity before he died. Therefore, he set the date of marriage between Yan Yan and his daughter Han Ling three months later, in order to show his prominent position as a general of Zhenxi.

The second thing is that Han Sui went to the imperial court and recommended Yan Yan to succeed him as the Taishou of Jincheng. It's a pity that when he sent a messenger to Chang'an, he happened to encounter the turmoil in Chang'an, and Li Dao and Guo Yan were in charge of Chang'an, so the letter of recommendation he sent was simply put aside and ignored. Then Li Li took over Chang'an, and the Son of Heaven returned to the court, but Han Sui's recital was still unattended, like a stone sinking into the sea, and there was no news.

Although he received the edict of the imperial court, Han Sui was forced to hand over the military and political affairs of Jincheng and the money and food of soldiers and horses to Yan Yan to take charge of it.

Tomorrow is the wedding day of Yan Yan and Han Ling, how can Liangzhou suddenly start a war recently, and Li Li personally led an army to attack Ma Teng. Han Sui and Ma Teng have known each other for many years, and the two have fought openly and secretly, occasionally joining forces against the enemy, but more often than not, they are fighting each other. Now that Ma Teng is besieged by Li Li's army, Han Sui knows the truth that his lips are dead and his teeth are cold, and once Ma Teng is destroyed, it will be difficult for Jincheng to survive alone. Therefore, he decided to send troops to rescue Jicheng and rescue Ma Teng, and today he just wanted to discuss with Yan Yan about sending troops.

————————————————

"Father, since Li Li occupied Chang'an, he took over the Xiliang army with full authority 、、、、、、、"

On the couch, Han Sui gasped heavily, and listened to Yan Yan's account of Li Li's army with his eyes closed, and a tall, handsome, young and sturdy figure couldn't help but appear in his mind, this person was Wuwei Li Li.

Han Sui has been crisscrossing Xiliang for more than ten years, and the young talents he has encountered are like carp crossing the river, countless, such as Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and Sun Jian, although they can also be called handsome among people, but they are not in the eyes of his Han Sui. There are only a handful of people who can really value him, and Wuwei Li Li happens to be the person he admires and values very much.

Over the past ten years, Han Sui has experienced many twists and turns, from a famous man in Liangzhou to the leader of the Qiang rebels, and fought against Zhang Wen, Dong Zhuo and others for several years. Do not fall behind. Subsequently, he accepted the imperial court's recruitment, and was appointed as the general of Zhenxi, who was comparable to the three dukes, and was stationed in the hinterland of Liangzhou, entrenched in Liangzhou, and looked at the world. For more than ten years, he has not lost a battle, nor is he a sluggish person, but he finally won and won everything he wanted. But. Ever since he fought with Wuwei Li Li, he has been defeated again and again, and each time he has been defeated extremely badly, losing his armor and abandoning his armor. Embarrassed rout.

The defeat of the Black Dragon Ridge, the defeat of the 80,000-foot cavalry. was chased by Li Li's army for hundreds of miles. In the end, Han Sui fled back to Jincheng with only a few thousand people. In the battle of Dongshankou, he and Ma Teng led an army of more than 100,000 to attack Wuwei County and almost killed Li Li, but in the end they were defeated and defeated.

Everything can be done over and over again, but not again.

The night raid on Hugh slaughtered the city. Ma Teng lost his troops and lost his generals, and there was a tendency to slump. And Han Sui finally tasted the consequences, and was poisoned by arrows, although he was lucky enough to escape back to Jincheng. But he can only survive until now, and he will inevitably die.

Listening to Yan Yan's unhurried talk about the battle situation in Liangzhou, Han Sui's thoughts flew and wandered in his memories.

"Just after the horse was urgently reported, Li Li's army had arrived at the city of Jixian three days ago, and the next day he sent 80,000 cavalry to attack Jicheng. Less than half a day after the battle between the two sides, the Xiliang army broke through the east gate of Jicheng, and then tens of thousands of Xiliang cavalry entered the city. Subsequently, the two sides fought fiercely in the city for half a day, and the battle did not end until the evening、、、、、、"

"Ahh Cough cough cough cough ———" Han Sui, who was in a daze, suddenly lost his voice and exclaimed, coughing violently before he could speak, causing Yan Yan's words to stop abruptly, and he hurriedly leaned over to take care of Han Sui, for fear that he would not be able to come up in one breath and let go.

"Yan'er, what did you 、、、 just say that Jicheng has been broken by Li Li's army?" Han Sui took a deep breath, pressed his right hand to his chest, and asked with a shocked face.

Yan Yan nodded in astonishment and said, "Yes, Li Li's army captured Jicheng in only one day and defeated the 50,000 defenders under Ma Teng's command. After the war, Ma Teng, Ma Dai and Ma Tie were all captured by the Xiliang army and reduced to prisoners, and more than 20,000 horsemen and 20,000 foot soldiers all surrendered to Li Li. Yesterday, the surrounding counties of Hanyang County successively asked Li Li to surrender, and the Xiliang army immediately went to all the counties and counties to take over all the cities except Jincheng.

To this day, the entire Liangzhou is occupied by Li Li, except for our Jincheng County and the westernmost Jiuquan and Dunhuang counties, which have not yet been attached to Li Li. Five days ago, Li Xian, who was stationed in Guzang City, ordered Li Zheng to lead more than 20,000 cavalry to the east and occupy Anding County without hindrance.

Now that Jicheng has fallen, Wuwei Li Xian has increased his troops by 10,000 and ordered Li Zheng to lead 30,000 troops to attack our Jincheng city from the north. The army of Li Li in the east had about 30,000 steps to ride towards our Jincheng, forming a two-sided attack with Li Zheng's troops in the north, and approaching our county town menacingly. ”

"Whew, whew, whew!" After listening to Yan Yan's report, Han Sui opened his mouth to take a deep breath, forcibly stabilized his mind, and sighed: "Hey, the general trend is gone!" Ma Teng was defeated, all the Ma family troops surrendered, Hanyang, Longxi, Beidi and Anding counties surrendered successively, and Li Li's unification of Xiliang has been completed. Now, Li Li has more than 300,000 male soldiers in his hands, puts the Son of Heaven in his hands, and subdues Li Dao, Guo Yan, Duan Xuan, Xu Rong and Hu Zhen and other Xiliang generals, which is unstoppable! Yan'er, how do you think we should deal with ourselves now? ”

"This 、、、、、、 child obeys his father's orders, please ask his father to command!" Yan Yan hesitated for a moment and said respectfully.

Han Sui shook his head with some difficulty, thought about it and said, "The matter has come to this point, and our father and son only have two ways to go. First, he led his troops to open the city and surrender, and bowed to Li Li in order to protect himself. Second, he defended the city and sent envoys to negotiate peace with Li Li. If he can open up the net and give you the office and title you deserve, we can still return to him. If Li Li refuses our offer, we will hold on to the city, and as a last resort, abandon the city and flee to the Qiang tribe for refuge, in order to make a comeback. However、、、、、、 the second way must be prepared in advance, and send more gold, silver, soft and money and food to the Qiang tribe of Jincheng, so that they can meet us at any time and resist the pursuit of Li Li's army. ”
