Chapter 329: Desperate Han Sui
Han Sui strictly ordered the whole army to advance at full speed, and sure enough, he came to Guzang City before dark, at this time he was full of spirit, his chest was full of anger, and he secretly made up his mind to teach this Wei Yan a good lesson and avenge his son-in-law Yan Xing.
However, when he saw clearly the soldiers on the front of the city, his heart suddenly chuckled, because he knew that there was basically no hope of attacking the city.
"I really didn't expect this Wei Yan's actions to be so fast, to completely occupy Guzang and complete such strict security in such a short time." Han Sui's face was full of bitterness, no matter how anxious he was, he knew that when Wei Yan's whole army was on guard and morale was high, no matter how desperate he was, he would not be able to capture this city.
"Pass my general's order, and the whole army will immediately retreat and go to Jincheng." Han Sui sighed, since he knew that he couldn't do anything, it would be futile to stay any longer, since this was the case, let's go.
This time, Han Sui walked very neatly and decisively, without dragging the mud and water at all, although the officers and soldiers of the whole army were very tired, but they did not stop at all.
The reason why Han Sui walked so fast, in addition to understanding that he had come for nothing, was also because he was afraid of being chased or ambushed by Wei Yan, and at the same time, there was a third reason, since it was impossible for Wuwei to have, Jin Cheng naturally thought about it more important, so he had to rush back as soon as possible to avoid other accidents.
So Han Sui led the army to Jincheng quickly, in order to be able to arrive in the fastest time, he didn't even care about the soldiers who fell behind, but when he finally came to the boundary of Jincheng County, he looked back on his side, and there were only 3,000 people left.
In fact, when he saw such a result, Han Sui's heart was still very sad, he had led 20,000 troops to fight Wuwei, and he thought that he could easily take it, but not only did he not take Wuwei, but he came back disgraced, and there were only 3,000 soldiers left under his command.
With such a small number of people, even the soldiers of a county can't compare, and it is too difficult to gain a foothold in the crowd.
However, Han Sui still had confidence, because he felt that although there were few people under his command, there were still many ordinary people in Jincheng. Because these people are in the borderlands, most of them are still martial, and they want to recruit tens of thousands of people, the problem is not too big, they rely on this army, coupled with the alliance with the Qiang people, it is not difficult to hold Jincheng, once the world changes, they may be able to take the opportunity to expand their territory, restore the glory of the past, and even establish a foundation that is even bigger than in the past.
However, just when Han Sui was full of ambition, he suddenly saw a familiar figure, this person was his subordinate general Cheng Yi who stayed in Jincheng.
"Chengyi? How did you get here? Do you know that I am coming back? Looks like your brain has gotten a lot smarter. Han Sui was also in a better mood after seeing Cheng Yi, and smiled lightly at Cheng Yi.
But seeing Cheng Yi plop down on the ground, he said with tears in his eyes: "Lord, it's not good, just after the Han army left, Ma Teng led the army to suddenly attack Jincheng, Zhang Heng was killed, Liang Xing, Hou Xuan, Cheng Yin, Li Kan, these four guys directly chose to surrender, so now, Jincheng is gone, fortunately, Ma Teng did not rush to kill, our family is still in Jincheng, and the safety of life is also guaranteed, lord, no matter what, you and he are also righteous brothers, you have to find a way to get your family, Otherwise, we're really done. ”
When Han Sui heard this, he immediately said with a face full of disbelief: "What? Maarten? How is this possible? Isn't Ma Teng in Chang'an? How did he get here? ”
I saw Cheng Yi said with a wry smile: "The last general heard that Ma Teng pledged all his children to Chang'an, and took the initiative to order Pang De, who was originally captured by Pei Qing, to surrender to Pei Qing, so as to gain Pei Qing's trust, and immediately asked to lead the army to march to Jincheng after learning about the battle situation of Wuwei, so as to create pressure on the lord, the lord also knew that although Ma Teng was a man from Maoling on the right side of the wind, he was very prestigious in the Xiliang army and among the Qiang people, so as soon as his army arrived, all the soldiers of our army panicked, and the most important thing was that he made up rumors, Saying that the lord had already died, many people believed it, so they surrendered to Ma Teng......"
"This Ma Teng is really hateful, he disregards brotherhood and takes away my territory, this hatred and hatred, I will report it sooner or later!" Han Sui gritted his teeth and scolded Ma Teng.
However, after scolding, Han Sui still had to think about his next plan, after all, Jincheng had been lost, and it was simply wishful thinking to recapture Jincheng with only this little man under his command.
"For today's plan, I'm afraid that the only thing to do is to welcome my family members first, because without these family members, all the soldiers under my command will fall apart, without them, what else would I rely on to start a business?"
Thinking of this, Han Sui decided to personally negotiate with Ma Teng and return to the families of the officers and soldiers in the army, so as to completely stabilize the morale of the army.
Cheng Gongying persuaded Han Sui not to do this, with the current situation, it was best to lead the army directly to Zhangye, although their strength is relatively weak now, but they are absolutely sure that they can completely control the three counties of Zhangye, Jiuquan and Dunhuang, so as to lay the foundation for hegemony.
However, Han Sui was still unmoved, and insisted on negotiating with Ma Teng, hoping that Ma Teng could take care of the old feelings and return to the families of the soldiers under his command.
However, what is disappointing is that although Ma Teng agreed to meet Han Sui, he did not plan to release him, but only promised to let Han Sui's family go, even Zhang Heng's family.
When Han Sui heard this, he was immediately furious, and he said to Ma Teng: "Brother Shoucheng, you are my brother, and we are righteous brothers, but I didn't expect you to be so ruthless, even thousands of family members refused to let go!" ”
But seeing Ma Teng spread his hands in embarrassment and said: "Brother Xian, I am also very embarrassed about this matter, mainly because you betrayed the court, even the Son of Heaven and Pei Gong were extremely angry, Pei Gong clearly said that he was not allowed to hand over his family to you, what can I do?" Besides, I have taken the risk of promising to return your family to you, this is already very difficult, if you are angry, then you should be angry with Pei Gong, or you should be angry with yourself, in vain you are so wise, but you actually do it against Pei Gong, now to get such a result, I can't help, according to me, you had better surrender to Pei Gong, so that not only the families of the soldiers in the army will come back, even you yourself may be rich and noble in the future, in fact, you and I both know that with Pei Gong's strength, we want to divide one side, It's almost non-existent, so why bother with it? ”
"Let me think about it." Han Sui sighed, then bid farewell to Ma Teng, and then prepared to go out of the city to join his troops.
However, just when he came to a place not far from the city gate, he was suddenly assassinated by dozens of assassins, and Han Sui saw this scene and immediately understood that Ma Teng didn't want to live at all.
"This Ma Teng, although he persuaded me like this, he is still ambitious."
Although he had understood all this at this time, Han Sui did not have the ability to protect himself, and he suddenly accepted the truth with a face full of despair.
"Although I am going to die here, I know that he Ma Teng is not destined to have a good life in the future, since this is the case, I will go first and wait to reunite with you under the Nine Springs."
Although Han Sui was wounded in dozens of places, he did not let out a scream, but instead had a sneer on his face, as if he saw the day Ma Teng died......
