Chapter 182: Murder with a knife
The army of Ma Chao, who was transporting grain from Liangzhou, was marching to the wilderness road.
"In two days, we will be in Chang'an. The generals, they were stationed there. "Generals and soldiers speak.
Escorted all the way from Liangzhou, as Ma Chao fought all the way from Liangzhou to Yongzhou, and then to Sizhou, it became more and more difficult to supply. When the general was still hesitating about what to do next time he went directly to Yuzhou, there was a sound of running in front of him.
"There are cavalry ahead, not our Xiliang!"
The general saw it, "It's the enemy, do a good job of defense, what is there to fear from the cavalry of the Cao army, I am the first in the world in Xiliang Iron Cavalry." ”
The grain was accompanied by the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, and when he saw the enemy coming, he rushed forward with a gun.
Cao Jun Cao Zhen led the cavalry to rush over, facing the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, rushing in, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry was broken in an instant, one shot at a time, and the people fell off their horses and ran.
Cao Zhenyan: "Tiger and leopard riding is the first in the world!" ”
Inside Chang'an City
The army was robbed of the grain, and the scout report was transmitted back to the army, and Ma Chao and Han Sui were shocked.
Ma Chao couldn't believe it, "The Xiliang Iron Cavalry I sent can't stand it." ”
Han Sui said: "There is an army of tigers and leopards under the command of the Cao army, known as the strongest cavalry in the world, specializing in raids and breaking formations. Cao Chun, the leader of the tiger and leopard cavalry, died of illness in recent years, and Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu took over his team. In the recent battle, Cao Zhen was not seen, so he must have done it. ”
Ma Chao pounded the desk angrily, "If you attack here, it's hard to retreat." ”
Han Sui said: "This battle has ended, I am in a hurry to attack, I could have tuned grain Yongzhou and then slowly advanced, but I came in a hurry, and then I was dragged out, and the grain and grass were exhausted, so I had to do it." ”
"Virtuous nephew, it is better for our army to cut the land and sue for peace, and he will raise troops again in the future."
Ma Chao said angrily: "Our army is not defeated, why do you want peace." Tomorrow, I will attack Cao Jun, and I will kill Cao Ang before I leave! ”
Han Sui couldn't persuade him, so he went back to the room.
Its soldier Li Kan came to Han Sui, "Ma Chao wants us to die with him, but the lord can't agree!" ”
Han Sui said: "If I refuse, I am afraid that something will happen on the way back." ”
Li Kanyan: "Ma Chao relies on martial arts and courage, and often has the heart to bully the lord, so he wins Cao Ang, how can he give in?" In a foolish opinion, it is better to cast secretly, and he will not lose the position of marquis in the future. ”
Han Sui thought about it, "Who can do this?" ”
Li Kan said: "You can let Yang Qiu go." ”
Cao Juncheng camp
Yang Qiu secretly came and sent Han Sui a letter, thinking that he should respond. Tell them to set fire that night, and open the gates of the city to sneak in.
Cao Ang was overjoyed and promised to seal Han Sui as the West Liang and Yang Qiu as the West Liang Taishou. Yang Qiu said goodbye, returned to see Han Sui, and prepared to talk about it.
Cao Ang said to Jia Xu: "What Wenhe did, if the separation is successful, our army can attack tonight." ”
Jia Xu said in a deep voice: "I have already said that if you don't die, the lord doesn't have to go out to the army, just wait in the camp." ”
Inside Chang'an City
Ma Dai hurriedly looked for Ma Chao, "Brother! At this time, Ma Chao and Pang De were discussing tomorrow's general attack.
Ma Chao saw that Ma Dai was so anxious that he didn't know what was going on, "What's the matter?" ”
Ma Dai said: "I just got the news that I heard that Han Sui had rebelled, and tonight I set fire to Cao Jun and let Cao's army enter the city." ”
"I know that this person has already surrendered to Cao's army, so I will kill him!" Ma Chao drew his sword and was about to rush to find Han Sui, but was stopped by Ma Dai.
Pang De stopped Ma Chao: "Son, don't be!" Ma Dai: Where did you get the news? Pound asked Ma Dai.
Ma Daiyan: "I overheard a general Han Sui who was transporting firewood say that at this time they were transporting firewood to the edge of the city, and said that Han Sui ordered to set fire to it tonight, and then open the city to let Cao's army enter." ”
Ma Chao: "Don't kill it at this time!" When! ”
Pang De said: "Gongzi goes like this, the other party must be prepared, half of the army in this city is Han Sui's army, the lord may not be able to kill, the two armies will fight first, if the Cao army enters the city at this time, we will be besieged and killed." ”
Ma Chao listened and eased up, "Then what should I do?" ”
Pang Deyan said: "We will inform our soldiers that they are ready to abandon the city and leave tonight, and the lord invites Han Sui to a banquet. The lord can kill him immediately, and then withdraw his army and flee. ”
When Ma Chao followed it and planned to set up a banquet to invite Han Sui, Li Kan came to inform, "Tomorrow our army will fight, and the general will be invited to the banquet tonight." ”
Ma Chao agreed, and he was even more convinced that Han Sui surrendered to the enemy.
Night
Han then set up a banquet to invite him, set up an ambush, and planned to try it.
"Virtuous nephew, the courage of the world, the glory of my Xiliang, I wish tomorrow a great victory over Cao Jun!" Han Sui praised it non-stop.
Ma Chao was overjoyed on the surface, and wanted to behead him directly. Ma Chao got up and approached, ashamed of his previous deeds, and Han Sui relaxed his vigilance when he heard it.
In the middle of the room, the fire outside was bright, Ma Chao directly drew his sword and slashed at Han Sui, Han Sui was shocked, hurriedly dodged, and one arm was directly cut off, shouting in pain.
Ma Chao scolded: "You have turned your back on me, and you want to harm me with Cao Jun, thinking that I don't know, kill you first today, and then kill Cao Ang!" ”
"Lord!" Li Kan and other generals hurriedly ran to Han Sui, drew their swords to stop him, "Someone!" ”
At this time, the ambushed soldiers suddenly rushed out and surrounded Ma Chao from behind.
Han then got up and was helped away. Ma Chao saw that he fled, rushed forward, was stopped by the general, Ma Chao swung his sword and slashed, five people were difficult to beat, both were killed, three people were afraid, and retreated, Li Kan couldn't shout: "Hurry up!" ”
Everyone rushed to kill and assassinated Ma Chao with guns, Ma Chao should deal with his attack, and Li Kan was left with three people who were afraid and fled here.
Not long after, Pang De led the troops to come to the aid of Ma Chao and kill Han Sui's army.
Ma Chao said angrily: "Don't let Han Sui escape!" ”
Han Sui, who had escaped, ran all the way out of the city, and did not hear the news that Cao Jun had rushed into the city gate. There seemed to be a voice from Ma Chaobing chasing after him in the rear at this time, "Stop them, Ma Chao will kill me!" ”
In this regard, Han Sui's army covered Han Sui's departure, and after a while, the two armies were engaged together.
Outside the city of Chang'an
Cao Hong led the soldiers not far away, waiting for the situation, and after a while, he saw a fire in the city, and then the sound of fighting came from the city. Cao Hong sighed, this battle is so easy: "Don't damage the soldiers, borrow a knife to kill." Harm others and benefit yourself, and the real poison is also. ”
Soon after, an army rushed to the main gate, it was Han Sui who had escaped, Han Sui saw that Cao Jun was actually standing still in front, he was angry and angry, but at this time he had no other way.
Cao Hong went to pick him up, "I'm here to pick up the general from the lord." ”
Han Sui said: "Ma Chao pursues behind, take me away." ”
Cao Hong led him back to Cao Ang.
Ma Chao chased all the way forward, didn't see Han Sui, only saw Li Kan, Li Kan ran away, didn't dare to stay here, Ma Chao pulled the bow and shot the arrow, shot it down, and went to ask, "Where is Han Sui?" ”
Li Kan was afraid to be told, "At this time, you should go out of the city to join Cao Jun." ”
Ma Chao was stabbed to death with a single shot, and led the troops to leave Chang'an and go back to Xiliang Road.
It was not until dawn that Cao Ang led Han Sui back to Chang'an, and Han Sui summoned his own soldiers in the city to surrender to Cao Ang.
Cao Angyan: "Ma Chao now has only tens of thousands of soldiers left, there is Cao Zhen's army in front, we will immediately chase after it from behind, surround and kill before and after, and capture Ma Chao!" Those who kill horses and supers, reward thousands of gold, marquis of ten thousand households, and those who are captured alive are generals. ”
When everyone heard this, their morale was greatly boosted and they were excited, and they wanted to compete for merit and rush to catch up.
