In this battle, Cao Ju was determined to pacify Liangzhou, not only sent 300,000 troops, but also let Ma Chao contact the Qiang people, 400,000 troops overwhelmed, coupled with Han Sui's lack of food, it was absolutely difficult for Han Sui to survive this pass.

Han Sui, knowing that the avatar would die, of course he was desperate, and he no longer cared about the lives of the people, and ordered all the rations in the people's homes to be scavenged out and used as military rations.

This time, Han Sui ignited a gunpowder, and it was soon detonated in the three counties of Jiuquan, after all, the soldiers under Han Sui's command were all from the three counties of Jiuquan, and Han Sui was tantamount to killing their parents and family members by doing so.

At the beginning, Han Sui was able to send people to forcibly suppress it, and the soldiers dared to be angry but did not dare to speak.

In fact, Han Sui also regretted it in his heart, but now even if he wants to return the food to the people, it is too late.

First of all, grabbing grain is not borrowing grain, and if there is no household registered how much grain they have robbed, they naturally do not know how much to repay.

Secondly, with so many people scattered in the three counties, it takes a lot of time and a lot of manpower to return the grain, and now that Cao Ju's army is pressing the border, how can Han Sui send people to do this again.

In the end, Han Sui's army was short of food, if he returned all the grain and grass he had stolen, what would his soldiers eat, and if they had no strength, how could they resist the attack of Cao Ju's army.

Let's say that Cao Ju's troops came to Jiuquan, and he heard that Han Sui had set up troops to grab food and killed many people, so he couldn't help laughing and said: "If God really helps me, Han Sui will die." ”

Jia Xu stroked his beard under his chin and said with a slight smile: "What the lord said is very true, the lord often says, those who win the hearts of the people win the world, Han Sui went against the sky and brought about his own defeat." ”

Li Ru also nodded and said: "Exactly, alas, Confucianism used to think that he could win the world with his wisdom, but after meeting the lord, he knew that this was a mouse's eye." ”

After Dong Zhuo's death, Jia Xu and Li Ru, the two big think tanks, naturally sincerely obeyed Cao Ju, especially Li Ru, who gave Dong Zhuo many bad ideas, including taking Cao Ju's mother and others to Luoyang, making Cao Ju completely subject to Dong Zhuo, which was his black trick.

However, Cao Ju did not blame him at all, but took him as a confidant, and made Li Ru very grateful, loyal to Cao Ju, and did not dare to have any thoughts for the rest of his life.

This also brought other effects, that is, those Xiliang generals, as soon as they saw that even Li Ru could be accepted and reused by Cao Ju, they naturally put their minds at ease and no longer had other thoughts.

Cao Ju said with a smile: "Water can carry a boat or overturn a boat, this is the way of heaven, Han Sui violated the way of heaven, how can he not die." Originally, Lone was preparing for a big war to pacify Xiliang, but now it seems that there is no need for it. ”

"Water can carry a boat or capsize a boat, and water can carry a boat or capsize a boat." Jia Xu read it lightly twice, his eyes lit up, and he sighed, "This is a good word of gold and jade, and it is the king of the world." ”

Li Ru also secretly thought in his heart, the lord has the ambition to swallow the world, and he has the strategy to rule the world, and following the lord is much more promising than following Dong Zhuo.

At this moment, the scout came to report: "Qi Yu Lord, Han Sui forcibly robbed the people of rations, suppressed the dissatisfaction of the army with an iron fist, but caused a riot in the military camp, Han Sui's army was already in chaos, and many Han Sui soldiers escaped from the barracks, asked to see the lord, and took the opportunity to send troops to attack Han Sui. ”

Cao Ju's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he laughed and said: "Okay, bring people up, Lone has to ask them carefully, well, separate all the people who come, and Lone has to ask them one by one." ”

Jia Xu and Li Ru glanced at each other when they heard this, and secretly thought in their hearts, the lord's hand is very clever, even if these people really came to cheat, but as long as the lord asks separately, he can definitely find out the flaws.

After a while, the guards brought a person, Cao Ju asked him a few questions, and then did not let him leave, first took him elsewhere, ate and drank well, and then the second one.

There were six people in total, and some of the details asked were exactly the same, which was enough to prove that something really happened in Han Sui's army.

Immediately, Cao Ju no longer had any doubts, and ordered the army to attack with all his strength, and defeated Han Sui in one battle.

At this time, the 100,000 army of the Qiang people was still in Xihai County, and Cao Ju made a quick decision and no longer waited for the Qiang army, and directly launched a fierce attack on Jiuquan County.

Han Sui's defenders were all on the verge of collapse, a small number of them fled, and most of them chose to surrender.

Soon, Cao Ju's army came to the Jiuquan County under the city of Lufu, which has been operated by Han Sui for many years, the city is tall, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there are 200,000 troops of Han Sui in the city, Cao Ju wants to forcibly take it, it is absolutely impossible under normal times.

However, under normal circumstances, Cao Ju would not raise troops to attack the city, and in the current situation, Cao Ju would not, he thought of a plan on the way, and ordered people to rush to make 20,000 letters of persuasion to surrender, tied them to arrows, and shot them into Lufu City.

Then, Cao Ju did not order the army to attack the city, waiting for chaos in the city.

Sure enough, Han Sui's soldiers were already dissatisfied with him, and many people had already begun to gather in chaos, and Cao Ju's letter of persuasion was like pouring oil on the fire of firewood, and the fire suddenly became bigger.

Finally, the civil strife began, and Han Sui's soldiers rebelled seven or eight out of ten, and the city gate was opened by the rebels to welcome Cao Ju's army into the city.

A great battle that I thought would have countless casualties ended so dramatically, but when Han Sui found out that things were not good, he fled out of the city ahead of schedule and went south to join the Hu people.

Lufu City was quickly pacified, Han Sui's diehards were all killed, and Han Sui's family members all fell into the hands of Cao Ju, including the general Yan Xing, who did not escape.

After the battle, Ma Chao immediately came to see Cao Ju and asked for Han Sui's family to be handed over to him so that he could avenge the killing of his father.

Killing Han Sui's family can calm Ma Chao's heart, but it can chill the hearts of people in the world, Cao Ju of course understands this truth, and said with a slight smile: "Meng Qi, your father is the father-in-law of Lonely, and the enemy of your father is also the enemy of Lonely. ”

Ma Chao was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Cao Ju in amazement, the latter said: "Lonely, Han Sui is the culprit, killing one of them is enough to calm the enmity of the Ma family, of course, Han Sui's son can't be kept, I don't know what Meng Qi wants?" ”

Hearing Cao Ju say this, although Ma Chao felt that it was not too enjoyable, he couldn't say anything more, after all, being able to kill Han Sui's father and son could be regarded as avenging Ma Teng.

So, Ma Chao didn't say anything anymore, said goodbye to Cao Ju and left.

Cao Ju looked at Ma Chao's back, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he thought to himself, hehe, Ma'er, in the lonely hands, you can't make any tricks.
