Chapter 350: Jincheng (2)
?
When Cao Cao led the army to the outside of Jincheng, Han Sui had already been waiting in the city for a long time.
Han Sui brought very few men and horses, only 2,000 people, and the sincerity of surrender at least seemed quite sufficient. You must know that Cao Cao' has an army of 100,000 and only 2,000 people, and Cao Cao' can destroy it in a flash.
Han Sui was so sincere, Cao Cao' naturally wanted to repay him, so he only brought 5,000 people into Jincheng, and the rest of the men and horses were stationed outside the city.
The process of surrendering in the city was very simple, Han Sui expressed his submission to Cao Cao's 'Cao' and was willing to enter Xuchang as a hostage, and Cao 'Cao' happily accepted Han Sui's request to surrender.
Han Sui's attitude made Cao 'Cao' overjoyed, originally Cao 'Cao' thought that Han Sui's request to surrender was just a symbolic 'sex' move, and he might ask himself to continue to have control of Liangzhou, at most to nominally show his submission to himself, and send his son to Xuchang as a hostage. Unexpectedly, Han Sui surrendered so completely, not only 'handed' everything in Liangzhou, but also was willing to go to Xuchang in person, how could this not make Cao Cao's 'mind' open to it?
Although there was no battle, and the opportunity to make meritorious service was lost, the Cao army was generally happy about Han Sui's surrender. After all, even in a superior battle, there will inevitably be casualties, and maybe the one who dies on the battlefield may be himself. Now that we can avoid the war, we will ensure that there will be no loss, so why not.
Of course, among the jubilant crowd, there are destined to be no Ma Dai and Pound.
Ma Dai and Han Sui have a deep blood feud, before going on the expedition, he had imagined countless times that he could cut off Han Sui's dog head with his own hands and avenge Ma Teng, Ma Chao and others.
And now, Han Sui was cowardly before the fight, and came to surrender directly, which also made Ma Dai lose the opportunity to take revenge with his own hands, how could he not hate.
Pang De's hatred for Han Sui in his heart was not as deep as Ma Dai's, but he couldn't let go of the fact that he couldn't kill Han Sui.
Now Ma Dai really wants to rush directly into Han Sui's residence, no matter what happened to 3721 directly killing the other party, as for what kind of punishment he will face Cao 'Cao', it is just a big deal.
However, Ma Dai did not have the bravery of his brother Ma Chao, although Han Sui was subordinate to Cao 'Cao', but the basic guards around him were destined to be indispensable, it is said that in Jincheng, the general Yan Xing acted as Han Sui's bodyguard. Yan Xing's martial arts Ma Dai had also heard of it, even if Ma Chao wanted to defeat Yan Xing, it would take a lot of effort, let alone himself.
If he confronted Yan Xing, I am afraid that he would only be killed by the other party, not to mention that Yan Xing could not be the only one by Han Sui's guards.
If Pound is willing to act with him, then the possibility of success is naturally much greater. But to Ma Dai's surprise, when he proposed to Pang De to assassinate Han Sui together and avenge Ma Teng and others, Pang De actually rejected his proposal.
Could it be that Pound was disloyal? He is undoubtedly a loyal general. But because of this, as Cao Ying's general at this time, he naturally has to be loyal to Cao Cao.
To assassinate Han Sui, although he fulfilled his loyalty to the late lord Ma Teng, he violated his loyalty to the current lord Cao Cao. Therefore, Pound was also very hesitant and entangled.
If Cao Cao ordered Pang De to attack Han Sui's army, he would definitely take the lead and fight to the death. But now that Cao 'Cao' has accepted Han Sui's request to surrender, in this case, let Pang De kill Han Sui 'privately' without Cao's knowledge, and Pang De can't make a decision on this.
As soon as Pang De arrived in Cao Ying, he was worshiped as a marquis, and Cao 'Cao' was extremely honored and favored by him, which made Pang De unable to betray this trust.
Pang De's entanglement at this time was out of loyalty to Cao Cao', but Ma Dai thought that he had exhausted his loyalty to Ma Teng, so he was angry and waved away.
It's a pity that without Pang De's cooperation, it would be difficult to kill Han Sui.
Ma Dai kept pacing in his tent, thinking about the method and feasible 'sex' of killing Han Sui. But after thinking about it, I still can't think of a way. No matter what you do, it seems that you are just dying in vain.
Ma Dai is not afraid of death, but Han Sui must die in front of him! As long as the revenge is avenged, his life and death are not very important.
Just when Ma Dai had a headache about how to assassinate Han Sui, the herald came to report, saying that a banquet would be held in the city in the evening, and the civil and military ministers of Cao 'Cao' and Han Sui would be feasted.
This banquet is not only to celebrate Han Sui's arrival, but also to provide an occasion to bring the relationship between the two sides closer.
Banquet? Hearing this news, Ma Dai's eyes lit up, and at the banquet, he might be able to find an opportunity to kill Han Sui.
Although the possibility of success in the assassination at the banquet is still very slim, at least Han Sui will definitely 'show up' when the banquet is held, as long as he 'shows' his face, then the assassination will have a chance. If Han Sui had been hiding in his residence and not showing up, there would be no chance at all.
If it doesn't work, it becomes a benevolent, Ma Dai made a decision, and his eyes became more and more determined.
