Chapter 287: Infighting

However, it was said that after listening to Sun Gan's persuasion, Yan Xing couldn't help but feel his blood surge, and immediately ordered the army to break the siege and return to Hanyang County, and after resting for a day, he led the army directly to Wuwei.

Yan Xing was not stupid, he told Han Sui that he was ordered by the Duke of Qin to prepare to join the army to attack Jincheng, and said that Liu Bei's army of the Duke of Qin would arrive soon, and asked Han Sui to open the city and accept him.

Han Sui saw that Yan Xing was originally ordered to attack Xiangwu, but now he suddenly led the army to Guzang City, and the matter was a little suspicious, but he didn't say anything, just secretly guarded, but seeing that the other party was ordered by Liu Bei, the Duke of Qin, and also had the token of the Duke of Qin in his hand, it was naturally not good not to let him enter the city.

As a result, he didn't expect that night, Yan Xing actually led his army to kill his camp, and shouted while killing: "Brothers, in order to shirk the charge of killing Ma Teng, Han Sui old thief framed my eight generals in Guanxi, and intended to dedicate Jincheng to Liu Qi, and promised his daughter to Ma Chao, and even the families of all the soldiers were also given to Liu Qi as hostages, life is not guaranteed. ”

But I didn't expect Han Sui to be prepared, as soon as the drum sounded, he saw the ambush soldiers exhausted, and ten thousand arrows were fired, and then Han Sui, who listened, said coldly: "Yan Xing, the old man is not thin on you, but I didn't expect that it was only a few days later, and you couldn't wait to throw yourself into Liu Bei's arms, you ungrateful puppy, you don't know how to unite against the enemy and tide over the difficulties together, you actually listened to the instigation of others, and led the army to attack my camp, if you are not prepared today, wouldn't it be a harm to you?" The old man will give you one last chance, obediently lay down his arms and surrender, but he can save your life. Otherwise, there will be no place for you to die today. ”

Yan Xing sneered: "Old thief, don't be complacent. I was going to be trapped by you today, and I expected it. If not, how can your Guzang city defense be empty? Can you hear the drums of war outside the city? That was the sound of the Qin Gong's army attacking the city. Old thief, now that your aunt has been broken, the general trend has gone, I don't know who has no place to die? ”

After that, Yan Xing shouted loudly: "The soldiers in Han Sui's camp, you must have heard that the army of the Duke of Qin is now attacking the city, and the destruction of Guzang City is just around the corner. If you want to save your life, quickly throw down your weapons and surrender, and the Duke of Qin will not blame him, if you resist stubbornly, your lives will not be saved today. ”

Although Han Sui had a very high prestige, since he heard that Liu Qi did not kill their families, people continued to flee from Guzang to Jincheng, and of course, most of those soldiers who fled were mercilessly executed by Han Sui. So, those who barely stayed. It was also because of Han Sui's strict military discipline that they didn't dare to move, and now they all heard the shouts of killing coming from the city. Knowing that what Yan Xing said was true, they threw down their weapons one after another and surrendered to Yan Xing.

Han Sui naturally heard the shouts of killing at the head of the city, he was shocked at that time, but in order to restrain the army's heart and pretend to be calm, now seeing that the sergeants have thrown down their weapons and surrendered, he knew that the general trend had gone, and he had no choice but to lead his own soldiers to break through the siege, preparing to flee to Qiangzhong to accumulate strength. In order to make a comeback.

Yan Xing, who was not far from Han Sui, naturally saw this scene, and he thought that Han Sui had fled to Jincheng. Naturally, he wouldn't let him go, and he couldn't help but shout. Immediately, the cavalry rushed forward, swung his spear and stabbed at Han Sui.

Unexpectedly, at this time, Ma Yu rushed over from the oblique thorn, blocked Yan Xing with his body, and shouted: "General go quickly." ”

After that, only a thud was heard, and Ma Wan's abdomen was pierced by Yan Xing's spear, but even so, Ma Yu still said to Han Sui: "General, go quickly." ”

Tears suddenly flowed from Han Sui's eyes, but he didn't look at the horse again, and led a thousand guards to fight a bloody way in the chaos, out of Guzang City, and even went all the way to Burning Dangqiang, where he was sheltered by Yao Naxuan, the chief of the Qiang tribe.

And just when Han Sui left, Ma Yu, who blocked the fatal blow for Han Sui, said softly: "Yan Xing, you have to believe that Lord Han did not collude with Ma Chao and Liu Qi, he is absolutely innocent, but now I'm afraid no one believes it, hehe, although you killed me, but I believe that with Liu Bei's person, you will never let you live happily for a long time, I believe that soon, we will all meet in the underworld, but I don't know what kind of expression you will have after you see us?" ”

Ma Yao's voice was very weak, so weak that no one but himself could hear it clearly, and then Ma Yu smiled a little pity at Yan Xing's back, and then the whole person didn't move anymore......

Yan Xing saw Han Sui fleeing and wanted to chase after him, but Han Sui fled very well, because countless soldiers around Han Sui laid down their weapons and surrendered, and the situation was chaotic for a while, and he couldn't rush over at all, so he missed the opportunity and could only watch Han Sui escape.

Not long after, Liu Bei personally led the army into Guzang City, and Yan Xing immediately greeted him and bowed down.

Liu Bei smiled and helped Yan Xing up, and then said: "General Yan defeated Han Sui, the credit is not small, I want to show you as the general of Zhenxi, and when the process is broken in the future, I will be rewarded." ”

Yan Xing was immediately grateful, and hurriedly thanked him.

After that, Liu Bei instructed Yan Xing to guard Wuwei well, and wait for the order to go to Jincheng at any time, and then led the army back to the garrison Cangsong.

In Cangsong's camp, Liu Bei invited Zhuge Liang to sit in the big tent, still proud of the defeat of Han Sui and the subjugation of Yan Xing, and admired Zhuge Liang.

"The military division's clever plan, it is really extraordinary, we just provoked Yan Xing and Han Sui to fight each other, and then we used the internal fighting between them to force Yan Xing to annex, and Hanyang County was also accepted by us logically, and we can then occupy Zhangye, Jiuquan, Dunhuang three counties, when the whole Liangzhou only Longxi and Jincheng two counties are not owned by us, as long as we seize Wudu again, Liu Qi's back road is cut off, the entire Liangzhou will be owned by us, and we will occupy the entire west, As long as we recuperate for more than ten years, after the economic recovery of Guanzhong, we will be able to enter the world with the fertile land of thousands of miles in Guanzhong. This Qin Emperor and the tyrant of Gaozu are also. ”

"Hehe, it's not difficult for us to deal with Han Sui, this person is now a lost dog, he has lost his roots, and sooner or later he will be defeated, but the lord must be careful of Liu Qi, if this person hadn't killed Yan Xing's family, but deliberately kept Han Sui's family, Liang couldn't make this plan. This person's intention to set this policy is actually obvious, that is, to let us cooperate and eliminate Han Sui's forces. Liu Qi has already calculated that although Han Sui defected to the lord, it is definitely a big hidden danger in the future, and we will definitely not be able to tolerate him, so we have to cooperate with him to jointly eliminate Han Sui's forces, and this is indeed the case, Han Sui is ambitious, and he will never be willing to be subordinate, and now is the best time to get rid of him. It's just ......"

Zhuge Liang then restrained his smile and said in a deep voice: "This person is naturally not to give us a chance, but to further annex Wuwei and even the other three counties in Hexi, and even to try to stabilize it, but no matter what, Hanyang County is definitely a place for Liu Qi to fight, because this place greatly threatens the connection between Longxi and Wudu, so the lord must not slack off, it is very easy for us to deal with Han Sui, but dealing with Han Sui is only the beginning of our fight for Liangzhou, because our real enemy is Liu Qi." ”

As soon as Zhuge Liang said this, Liu Bei's enthusiasm immediately dissipated, and Liu Bei couldn't help but sigh: "But now I have few soldiers in the Guanzhong region, and I can't protect these areas at all, and Liu Qi has nearly 100,000 troops in Jincheng, if his army is all dispatched, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to keep Wuwei, and if Wuwei is lost, the other three counties in Hexi will naturally not be protected." Won't we have to work hard in vain? ”

When Zhuge Liang heard Liu Bei's words, he couldn't help but smile and said softly: "Don't worry, my lord, although Liu Qi has 100,000 soldiers in Jincheng, he will never dare to deploy the main force there, but will go all out to attack Hanyang County, so we only need to send heavy troops to Hanyang County to hold on to it, and then take advantage of its unpreparedness to attack Jincheng with elite soldiers. In this way, the siege of Hanyang can be solved, and the lord can all get Liangzhou, although Liu Qi is capable, he can only return in vain. ”

"Hehe, the military division is really clever, as long as we get Liangzhou, with the Xiliang Iron Cavalry as the main force, and the abundant grain and grass in Guanzhong as the foundation, we can take Wudu, Hanzhong and even the entire Xichuan, and retreat to protect the land of Yongliang for thousands of miles. But here is one point, if our elite soldiers sneak attack Jincheng, it will inevitably cause the emptiness of Hanyang's strength, if Liu Qi finds out that my Hanyang is false and real, and leads the army to attack, can we hold it? Liu Bei frowned and said worriedly.

Zhuge Liang said confidently: "Please rest assured that the lord of this point, Liang recommends one person to the lord, and he can guard Hanyang." ”

"Oh? I don't know who the military advisor recommends? Liu Bei perked up and hurriedly asked.

"Hehe, this person is a native of Taiyuan, surnamed Hao, Mingzhao, the word Bodao, originally a captain under the command of Gao Gan in Bingzhou, and later joined the lord with Guo Yuan, and later Guo Yuan died, his generals were under the command of Liang, the last time in the Hanzhong campaign, our army evacuated from Nanzheng, all the generals had casualties, only this person led the department, because this person personally after the palace, there was no casualty, I know this person's ability, and then inspected this person for several months, only to find that this person is a real talent, so I recommend it to the lord."

"Oh? The person recommended by the military advisor must not be bad, so Gu appointed him as the general of Yamen, ordered him to lead the army to take Hanyang County, and stick to it, so as to drag Liu Qi's army, hoping not to disappoint Gu. A smile flashed in Liu Bei's eyes, and he said slowly. (To be continued)
