Chapter 972: Fear
Han Sui is not a brave person, but many people don't know this. His bravery only shows when he is sure that there is no danger, and of course, Han Sui also hides it well, at least in the eyes of most people, he is not a person who is afraid of death.
Otherwise, when Qianghu rebelled and forced Han Sui to participate, Han Sui would not have pushed it halfway.
But the problem is, even if you are really not afraid of death, you may not be willing to die......
Just when Han Sui realized that his life was not long in coming, another cloud of smoke and dust rose in the west, and not long after, Han Sui saw that it was Ma Chao who rushed over with some people.
I really still have luck, and sure enough, the heavens will save the soldiers!
"Meng Qi!" Han Sui was overjoyed, and hurriedly shouted for help, "Come and save so!" ”
Those who followed Ma Chao were all people specially allocated to Ma Chao from Ma Teng. Ma Teng has half Qiang blood, and Ma Chao was born to Ma Teng married the daughter of the leader of the Qiang tribe, so now Ma Chao is followed by Qiang horses from the same tribe.
These Qiang riders have been following Ma Chao these days, and for this young man with a handsome appearance, whether it is from martial arts or to commanding troops, he admires him from the bottom of his heart, so he quickly got used to Ma Chao's command.
Strictly speaking, Ma Chao's current behavior is in violation of military law, after all, after the camp is stationed, there is no military order, and the troops are not allowed to move without authorization, but one is that Ma Chao is the son of Ma Teng, and the other is that after all, the Qiang people and Qiang cavalry account for the majority, so when Ma Chao heard that the captain on duty at the camp gate reported that Fan Chou led some soldiers and horses to chase Han Sui's traces, Ma Chao couldn't sit still, gathered his subordinates and left the camp, but he didn't expect to encounter the current situation.
For Han Sui, Ma Chao still has some emotions, because Ma Teng's background is not good, so it is more difficult for Ma Chao's education, but Han Sui is different, every time Ma Chao goes to ask Han Sui for advice with a question, Han Sui seems to be able to quote scriptures and classics without difficulty.
Therefore, at this moment, Ma Chao really regarded Han Sui as his uncle in his heart, and when he saw that Fan Chou dared to chase and kill Han Sui, the new and old hatreds that were insulted by Fan Chou a few days ago surged up together, and without saying a word, he raised his spear, roared, and went towards Fan Chou.
As soon as Fang made contact, Fan Chou's subordinates suffered a big loss.
When Ma Chao came over, Fan Chou didn't see it for the first time because of the obstruction of his vision, and naturally he didn't give orders in time, resulting in Fan Chou's subordinates not making any corresponding adjustments at all, and they didn't know if they should do anything to Ma Chao......
Ma Chao stared at Fan Chou tightly, approaching, and suddenly whistled, and the Qiang cavalry behind him suddenly understood, pulled out a short spear from behind him, and suddenly threw himself towards Fan Chou's soldiers in Ma Chao's whistle command again!
Fan Chou's soldiers were originally divided into two groups to chase Han Sui, so they were slightly separated before and after, and when they chased forward, they were not prepared for a fierce battle at all, and naturally they did not form any formation, and now they were hit head-on by Ma Chao with Qiang Cai, and they were immediately chaotic.
Ma Chao let go of ordinary soldiers, slapped his horse and waved his gun to take Fan Chou.
There is a way that is an inch long and an inch strong, Fan Chou originally took the soldiers out of the camp, but he was also in a hurry, and he didn't prepare any long blades at all, and the war knife he brought was compared with Ma Chao's gilded spear, and when the two horses were hedging, they fell behind.
Ma Chao can directly stab Fan Chou, but Fan Chou can only be forced to defend, and with a few bells, he finally waved the war knife and blocked Ma Chao's two rapid stabs in the front, but he couldn't stop the moment when the two horses were staggered, Ma Chao's strong spear handle swept, although Fan Chou erected the war knife and blocked Ma Chao's gun handle from being pumped to his body, but the strength was still unbearable, and he was immediately pulled away from the war horse and fell to the ground.
Han Suicai, who got rid of the crisis, slowed down the horse's speed, looked back, and happened to see Ma Chao knocking Fan Chou off the horse, and immediately raised his arm and was about to shout, but saw Ma Chao leaning out diagonally on the horse's back, stretching his ape arm, and piercing Fan Chou who fell to the ground with a shot......
Han Sui opened his mouth wide, but he didn't make any sound, and after a while, he slowly put down his hand that was stretched out in mid-air.
"Uncle!" Ma Chao happily pulled out his spear and waved it, while turning his head and shouting at Han Sui, "This fang has been killed!" ”
"Uh......" Han Sui reluctantly smiled at Ma Chao, nodded, and immediately turned his head and ordered his subordinates, "Hurry back to the camp and take down Fan Chou's camp!" ”
This Ma Chao......
Alas, forget it, it's not my son anyway.
Luckily, it's not my son.
Everyone is dead, and it is pointless to say anything more, it is better to merge them all while Fan Chou's soldiers have not yet reacted!
Although it may lead to some losses, but now the situation, I can't take care of it, as for Li Dao's side, that's the next step, let's take care of the current situation first......
………………………………
Chong Shao frowned, covered his mouth and nose with fine silk yarn, glanced at the human head in the wooden box with disgust, which had been slightly nitrated, and waved his hand again and again, asking the subordinates to quickly take this disgusting thing away.
"The seed is really a clever plan," Liu Fan said with a smile, "Now the thieves in Xiliang are not enough to worry about...... However, Han Wenyue is also shrewd, and does not mention our surrender, but only asks for food and grass, this ...... To give or not to give? ”
Originally, he told Han Sui that there would be some people in Chang'an who surrendered, but now that Han Sui and Fan Chou had internal strife, they died a lot, and some escaped, and the current strength is naturally not as many as before, and the morale of the Xiliang soldiers has also been greatly affected.
Chong Shao slowly put down the yarn silk a little, and then took a careful breath, and found that although the disgusting corruption breath had dissipated most of it, there were still some of it, so he took the yarn and covered it for a while, and then slowly breathed in the fresh air.
Chongshao is not a pure literati, nor has he never killed people, and naturally he has not smelled this smell that will make ordinary people sick, and the reason why Chongshao dislikes this smell is actually very simple......
Because the seed is old.
When you are young, your body is on the rise, no matter how tired you are, no matter what kind of injury you have, it seems that as long as it is not fatal, you can survive, even if you are tired, you only need to eat a good meal, and then rest and sleep, you can recover your vigorous energy.
But not anymore.
The seed sage seems to have smelled the rotten smell of the dirt covering its neck all the time......
If you want to sleep, if you don't sleep well, you will wake up at the slightest movement; I want to eat, I can't eat, I don't talk about anything else, my appetite is getting worse and worse, and even my teeth are gradually loosening; I can't see clearly, no matter what I look at, even if I read the book for a long time, I will feel my eyes ache and cry in the wind; The neck, shoulders, and waist of the body are like stuffing a lot of mud and sand into the joints, which is astringent, sore, and painful......
Chongshao has just ascended to the high position he has pursued all his life, but he inadvertently found that he had aged to such an extent, as if his body was also exuding the smell of decay all the time, such an unchangeable fact, like a shadow, has always shrouded the heart of Chongshao.
It's nice to be young.
Suppressing the feeling of jealousy or envy for Liu Fan, he squinted his eyes and said slowly: "...... Nature...... It's for ......."
Han Sui's Xiliang soldiers asked for grain and grass, not necessarily because they were really short of food as the envoy said, most of them were just a test to see if the side of the planting and souring had the sincerity to accept it.
But don't give too much......
“…… Send ten carts first...... Later, he was transferred to Yiwu...... Then the grain and grass will be allocated by Wugong County......" said lightly.
There was only one sentence, but Liu Fan was immediately impressed.
Ten cars, not much, not too little, there is no problem to eat for a few days, and then let him go to Yiwu, if he does not go, he will not comply with the decrees of the imperial court, at this stage, Han Sui is difficult to support alone, and it is estimated that he will not dare to rebel rashly, so most of them will follow the order to turn to Yiwu.
And Yiwu is in the west of martial arts, and because of Dong Zhuo's reasons, Yiwu is now a dead domain, with no population at all, and Han Sui went there, even if he wanted to control something, he couldn't do it......
To allocate grain and grass with martial arts, it is to slowly stuck in the throat of Xiliang soldiers, not tight or loose, after a certain extent, it is natural to pinch the circle and pinch the round, and to flatten the flattened. In addition, Xia Mou, who also beat Xia Mou in martial arts, although he didn't say it explicitly, the meaning was also very obvious. After all, he has already helped Xia Mu wipe his ass once, and if he can't wipe it clean if he shit again, then hehe.
What is old and spicy can be seen in these details of control......
………………………………
"This ...... This is not true! Li Wei's voice changed a little, and he immediately reacted and ordered loudly, "Come on, give me a guard around, and don't allow anyone to approach!" ”
"Yui!" Li Dao's personal guards obeyed the order in unison, and then stood around the hall in the sound of broken clothes and armor, scanning the movements around one by one, leaving the hall to Li Dao and Li Li.
Li Li didn't fight well, and his ability to escape seemed to have increased a lot, that day he saw Fan Chou chasing Han Sui out, and then saw Ma Chao following, he had a bad premonition in his heart, he wanted to lead the troops forward, one was that he couldn't beat Ma Chao, and the other was that he didn't have this authority.
When he finished cleaning up, Li Li realized why he was so inexplicable, he did this, and he shook his head and sighed out of the tent, when he saw Han Sui and Ma Chao coming back with people and horses in the distance, but they didn't see Fan Chou......
Li Li's heart was violently lifted at that time, and he was uneasy, and then he saw Han Sui in the camp over there and began to gather soldiers and horses, and then Li Li realized something......
At what moment, Li Li thought about telling his guess so that everyone could be on guard, and even lead the soldiers to confront Han Sui and Ma Chao, but he immediately retreated silently, just called a few of his own personal guards to escort him, and then took advantage of the chaotic time period when Han Sui and Ma Chao sorted out the soldiers, and quietly slipped out of the back camp.
Then Li Li, who hid in the distance, saw Han Sui and Ma Chao leading the troops to surround Fan Chou's camp, and then Li Li, who didn't dare to breathe more in the atmosphere, went out day and night, and went straight to Li Wei's Xinfeng......
Li Wei sat down dejectedly, and muttered in disbelief: "This is impossible, this is impossible...... It doesn't make sense......"
In the past few days, the blow to Li Dao seems to be bigger and more uncomfortable than any time before.
When I followed Dong Zhuo before, I won the battle to eat meat and drink wine to get a bounty, and I lost the board, and even had to wear the guilt for meritorious service, so that the head could not fall to the ground, but at that time, it didn't seem to be as stressful as it is now, I should eat, sleep, and sleep, and I didn't care at all.
But now, it's completely different.
During this time, Li Dao's hair unconsciously turned a lot grayer.
Old friends and old partners who used to drink and eat meat together, chat and fight together, seem to be dead one by one.
Who's next?
Dong Zhuo is dead.
Ushisuke died.
Guo Yan died.
Two days ago, Hu Zhen was also seriously injured, and finally failed to survive and died......
Hu Zhen was originally a stout man, but under the torture of the pain, he became a skinny man. Li Dao still remembers that at that time, before Hu Zhen left, he grabbed Li Dao's hand tightly, so hard, and then entrusted his old and young in Liangzhou to Li Dao......
Li Wei subconsciously touched his wrist, as if Hu Zhen grabbed it that day, leaving some marks.
In the past, if someone said that Li Dao was a ghost who was afraid of death, Li Dao would probably laugh and take it as a joke, but now if someone says that Li Dao is afraid of death, Li Dao will immediately cut him with a knife, or at least beat him half to death with a whip.
Because, Li Dao is now afraid of death.
No, it's not that I'm afraid of death, it's that I have to live.
Hu Zhen can still entrust his family to himself, and if he dies, who will he entrust his family to?
The old partners before are gone one by one, and now, Fan Chou is actually dead.
Li Wei felt his head buzzing, and although there was no wind in the hall, he felt that his back was still cold......
“…… Uncle...... Uncle! Li Li looked at Li Dao's somewhat unyielding appearance, and couldn't help but call softly.
Li Wei's eyes slowly converged from the sloppy, and then became sharp again, shining, he stared at Li Li and said in a deep voice: "When you entered the city, did you see anyone, and who else knows?" ”
Li Li thought about it for a moment and said, "My nephew came here directly, and I haven't seen anyone else. ”
Li Wei nodded slowly.
This kind of thing can't be concealed for a long time, and it doesn't make sense, after all, Li Li is just one step ahead, and there will naturally be people who will bring this news here sooner or later.
Now it's just a matter of taking advantage of this little time to make a decision.
Li Dao lowered his head and touched his wrist, as if he wanted to erase the cold discomfort left by Hu Zhen on his wrist, but the coldness on his wrist seemed to be easy to remove, but the coldness in his heart gradually seeped out through Li Dao's eyes......
