Chapter 931: Han Sui's Death
Ma Teng and Han Sui, in this big camp, officially broke up.
The soldiers and horses of both sides began a big battle here.
The Liangzhou Army, dominated by Han Sui, and the Yongzhou Army, dominated by Ma Teng, officially clashed.
In terms of troops, Han Sui is more, in addition to the 30,000 troops in his headquarters, he also has Liang Xing, Yang Qiu and Zhang Heng.
Liang Xing is a rising star in Xiliang, and Jia Xu, Duan Xuan and others are fellow villagers, and in the battle with Dong Zhuo before, he killed Li Dao, and suddenly became famous.
Under Han Sui, he is also a relatively strong general.
Zhang Heng and Liang Xing are Han Sui, who is small and takes refuge together.
And Yang Qiu is a strong man who settles the local area, although Xiliang is in turmoil, he protects the people on one side, and his power is gradually growing, and now he has more than 10,000 people, which can be regarded as one of the stronger among the many warlords in Xiliang.
Although the people on Ma Teng's side did not have many individual troops, the few were only three thousand, and the most were only five or six thousand, but they were better than the number of people.
Ma Play and Cheng Yin, the three candidates, are all Hedong thieves, and their subordinates gathered thousands of soldiers and horses, originally wanted to take advantage of the chaos, but they found that their manpower could not develop any storms in this troubled world, so they finally chose to take refuge in the people of a larger force.
Because Ma Wan and Ma Teng are of the same clan, their warlords in the east of the river are close to Ma Teng.
With an army of 100,000, Han Sui occupied 50,000 horses, but Ma Teng and Ma Wan and others also had no less than 50,000 soldiers and horses.
In Tianshui County, not far from Chang'an, a major battle of unprecedented scale took place.
The battle lasted all night.
Both sides have their own winners and losers.
However, in the end, Han Sui's men and horses were still unable to defeat Ma Teng in this big battle.
Although Han Sui is also a battle-hardened veteran, most of his men and horses are soldiers and horses led by Qiang people.
The reason why these Qiang people used to flock to Han Sui was entirely because of Han Sui's high official position, and they needed someone to take the lead.
Later, he got used to Han Sui's leadership, so he always let Han Sui lead the Qiang people to fight in the south and the north.
But now that Han Sui is going to turn against Ma Teng, there are many Qiang people under him who are not happy.
Why?
Because Han Sui is a Han Chinese, he is not a Qiang at all, but Ma Teng is different, Ma Teng's body has half of the blood of the Qiang people.
Ma Teng's father married a Qiang woman and gave birth to Ma Teng, so Ma Teng is also half a Qiang person, and Ma Teng can gradually grow in Xiliang, a large part of the reason is also because he has a good relationship with people from various tribes of the Qiang tribe.
Moreover, Ma Teng also followed his father's example and married a Qiang woman and gave birth to Ma Chao.
It can be said that the power of the Ma family has a great collusion with the Qiang people.
Now Han Sui is using the Qiang people to deal with Ma Teng, wouldn't he let people fight themselves, after the battle, Ma Teng easily persuaded those Qiang soldiers to directly rebel in battle.
Han Sui's command was originally dominated by the soldiers and horses of the Qiang people, but now as soon as the Qiang people rebelled, the situation was suddenly reversed.
And among the generals under Han Sui, there is no particularly powerful, on the other hand, Ma Teng, not to mention his son Ma Chao, is a brave general, that is, Li Kan, Cheng Yin and others who follow Ma Teng, are all fierce generals, and they will not fall behind against Han Sui's men and horses.
Li Kan is the most courageous, and he can completely block Liang Xing and Yang Qiu alone.
After the others restrained Han Sui's other generals, Ma Teng ordered his son Ma Chao to show his strength on the battlefield.
Ma Chao was already dissatisfied with his uncle, but now that he finally found an opportunity, where would he be polite to Han Sui.
Ma Chao directly killed Han Sui, and when Han Sui first started, he was very disdainful, thinking that his sixteen-year-old nephew was asking for his own hardship.
wanted to teach Ma Chao how to be a man, but after fighting with Ma Chao a few times, Han Sui began to realize his ignorance.
Ma Chao's toughness made Han Sui, who had good strength, feel terrifying.
Han Sui's own strength, although he could not be promoted to the first-line generals of the Three Kingdoms period, was definitely not a person who did nothing, and he could be regarded as the number one person in the second echelon.
and Dong Zhuo's Guo Yan and Li Dao's generation, they must be as good as they are.
But in the face of Ma Chao, where can you take advantage of it?
Although Ma Chao is young, he is sixteen years old, which is enough to make him famous in the whole Xiliang.
After more than 30 rounds of fighting with Ma Chao, Han Sui was killed by the sixteen-year-old Ma Chao.
A vigorous battle ended with Han Sui's death one night.
As soon as Han Sui died, the smoke of gunpowder subsided, and Liang Xing, Yang Qiu, Zhang Heng and others, who originally followed Han Sui, did not accompany Han Sui to the funeral.
In private, their relationship with Ma Teng was actually not bad, and they didn't want to turn their faces with Ma Teng, but Han Sui was here to give orders.
Now that Han Sui is dead, they naturally have no reason to continue to fight against Ma Teng.
soon took refuge in Ma Teng, and Ma Teng did not embarrass them, after all, they still have a lot of men and horses, and if they are accepted, they can get some manpower.
In this battle, Han Sui was defeated, not to mention his own death, but he suffered the soldiers and horses under them, and some of his cronies were directly wiped out, and many people and horses belonging to Han Sui were also redispersed and disrupted into Ma Teng's army.
Ma Teng took advantage of the situation to become bigger. In a short period of time, he wiped out the traces of Han Sui, and then occupied the entire Xiliang by himself.
And so it goes.
What Ma Teng discussed with Liu Bei before could be realized logically.
After Han Sui's death, Ma Teng took the initiative to send someone to contact Liu Bei, wanting to renew relations with the imperial court.
In this way, how could Liu Bei not agree, he originally wanted to solve the matter of Xiliang as soon as possible, if he could sign an agreement with Ma Teng again, then Liu Bei would naturally be happy to do so.
It's just that after experiencing Han Sui's successive rebellions, Liu Bei put forward a condition before accepting Ma Teng's surrender.
That is to let Ma Teng's son Ma Chao go to Luoyang to be a proton.
Ma Teng actually doesn't have much resistance to this condition, being a proton is not a death, Ma Teng has no objection, he is more willing to let Ma Chao go to Luoyang to see the world under the rule of the Han Dynasty.
In this way, Liu Bei's conditions were agreed, and after the two sides reached a consensus because of this matter, the matter of Xiliang was peaceful in the past two months.
