Chapter 286: Yan Xing's Choice
Looking at Han Ying with clouds of hair in front of him, Ma Chao's heart was not as happy as he imagined, in fact, he himself had long known that as long as he came to Han Mansion in person, he would definitely not be able to bear to do anything to this woman, and the reason why he temporarily decided to accept Han Ying was not just to take revenge on Han Sui.
But no matter what, he took Han Ying away, and in the most public way, he swaggered Han Ying onto the horse, and then hugged the other party to his camp.
As for the other family members in the Han Mansion, they were "defended" by Ma Chao's sergeants layer by layer.
The reason why Ma Chao made such a big fanfare was mainly to humiliate Han Sui, he just wanted people to know that although Han Sui's family saved their lives, they became his trophies.
Liu Qi didn't expect Ma Chao's move, but after learning the details, he didn't blame Ma Chao, but gave a generous gift, congratulating Ma Chao on starting a family again.
Although Ma Chao's actions exceeded expectations, Liu Qi understood that as a man with a deep hatred of blood on his back, it was not easy to do this step, and there was no need for him to be too harsh on him.
However, Liu Qi found a new opportunity from it, and he wanted to use the matter of Ma Chao's marriage to Han Ying to cause conflicts between Han Sui, Yan Xing and Liu Bei, and to find new opportunities through the struggle between them.
And Liu Qi's idea coincided with Jia Xu, and the two conspired together and set up a poisonous plan.
However, it was said that Yan Xing, as Han Sui's son-in-law, had always been very loyal to Han Sui, and he was originally ordered to garrison Hanyang County to guard against Liu Qi and Liu Bei's army, but he did not expect the situation to change greatly, Liu Qi led the army to quietly send troops and sneak attack Lintao in Longxi County. And in the case of others not believing, the cavalry of Lintao was defeated with infantry, and since then the army has been like a bamboo, and it has come to Jincheng in just a few days. After that, Han Sui did not go to the rescue of Jincheng, but instead surrendered to Liu Bei. Although he expressed dissatisfaction with Han Sui's actions, he knew that his family was not safe, so he had no choice but to obey, and then personally led the army in Hanyang County to attack Xiangwu, trying to reoccupy Longxi, cut off Liu Qi's grain route, and let Liu Qi die in Liangzhou.
But at this moment, Yan Xing got a very shocking news: Ma Chao, who entered Jincheng, did not kill Han Sui's family. Instead, he snatched Han Sui's daughter Han Ying, that is, his wife Yan Xing. And what made Yan Xing most angry was that among all the family members in Jincheng, only his parents and clansmen were killed!
Yan Xing, who heard the news for the first time, couldn't help but be angry, his eyes turned black, and he spurted out a mouthful of blood, and shouted: "Ma Chao." Liu Qi, I, Yan Xing, share the sky with you! ”
At this time, Yan Xing almost fell into madness, and he ordered his army to capture Xiangwu at any cost. Allow your subordinates to take the city and then slaughter it for three days, and whoever grabs the women and property in the city will belong to him.
Therefore, the army of more than 20,000 people is like chicken blood. Surrounded Xiangwu City and attacked day and night.
However, under the insistence of the enemy defenders, his army fought for three whole days, but he was never able to break through the city.
"Rubbish! It's all a bunch of useless rubbish! Yan Xing was anxious for revenge, but when he saw that so many troops were helpless against a small Xiangwu city, he couldn't help but scold the soldiers under his command for being incompetent.
At this moment, a sergeant suddenly reported: "General Qiyu, the envoy in the Qin Gong army asks to see you." ”
"Liu Bei's messenger? What did he come to do? Yan Xing couldn't help but be stunned and muttered. But his eyes suddenly lit up, and he felt that he could use Liu Bei's strength to attack Longxi. Then he ordered the messenger to be brought over.
The messenger had a long body and three strands of hair under his chin. He looked very handsome and chic, and when he saw Yan Xing, he was neither humble nor arrogant, and said lightly: "Xiaguan Sun Qian has seen General Yan." ”
Yan Xing was shocked when he heard this, he didn't expect this person to be the famous Sun Qian, this person is a popular person under Liu Bei, and now he has become the right servant of the Qin State, second only to Zhuge Liang and Zhong Xuan, this person can come here, which shows that Liu Bei attaches great importance to himself. So the star immediately showed a respectful look on his face, and said flatteredly: "It turns out that Your Excellency is Mr. Sun, I have heard the name of Mr. Gongyou for a long time, but I can't see it, but I can see it today, how fortunate is it?" I wonder what Mr. has to say? ”
Sun Gan sighed when he heard this, and said slowly: "Qian was entrusted by the lord to come to mourn the general's parents, alas, I wanted the general to be loyal to Han Sui, but I didn't expect to be framed by him like this, and I was really upset for the general." ”
Yan Xing was stunned when he heard this, and then asked, "Sir, what do you mean by this?" And what does it have to do with General Han? ”
I saw Sun Qian and said with a smile: "The relationship is big, the general and think about it, Han Sui led the crowd to kill Ma Teng and his whole family, and now under the banner of avenging Ma Chao, why didn't he kill Han Sui's family after capturing Jincheng, but only killed Lingzun Lingtang?" If it wasn't framed by Han Sui, why wouldn't it? ”
Yan Xing immediately felt that his brain was a little inadequate, and he couldn't help asking, "The more Mr. says, the more confused I become, I don't know what Mr. means?" Can you elaborate on that? ”
But he heard Sun Qian sigh slowly: "The general is really a kind person, and now he has fallen for Han Sui's tricks without knowing it." Please think about it, this time Jincheng was captured, and Han Sui's family, who was the culprit, was unhindered, and the general was just a helper, but Ling Zun Lingtang was killed for no reason, is this Liu Qi and Ma Chao confused? The answer is definitely no, so this can only show one problem, that is, in order to keep his family, Han Sui deliberately put the responsibility of killing Ma Teng's family to the general, and matched Mrs. Zun with Ma Chao to compensate, that is to say, Ma Chao and Han Sui had already secretly reached a reconciliation, but they regarded the general as a sacrifice, and the general was loyal to Han Sui. ”
Yan Xing couldn't hold back when he heard this, and said sharply: "I really didn't expect Han Sui's old thief to be so shameless, and he secretly colluded with Ma Chao for the sake of his family, and even framed the general. If I, Yan Xing, don't cut off the head of the old thief, I will live in vain. ”
Yan Xing scolded for a while and then suddenly thought of something, and then said suspiciously: "Sir, there seems to be something wrong with this, because Han Sui has already taken refuge in Duke Qin, and he also personally wrote a letter to ask the last general to obey Duke Qin's orders. But how can he collude with Ma Chao? ”
"How can the general still have doubts until this time? This matter is already very obvious, why did Han Suipifu rather kill the general Zhang Heng than lead the army back to Jincheng? This shows that he has actually reached an agreement with Ma Chao and even Liu Qi, knowing that Ma Chao will not kill his dependents, so he is relieved to boldly take refuge in Qin Gong, of course, he is naturally not sincere in his refuge in Qin Gong, the purpose is just to cooperate with Liu Qi and secretly take Wuwei and stability, fortunately, Ma Chao was too presumptuous in Jincheng City, and even blatantly married Han Sui's daughter, which exposed the secret, otherwise, I am afraid that not only the general, even Qin Gong would be conspired by this thief. ”
I saw Sun Gan sneer, and then said: "As for the old thief who wrote a letter to the general to persuade the general to surrender, it was just to hide people's eyes and ears and not arouse the suspicion of the general and the Duke of Qin. ”
"Alas, what Mr. said is right, Han Sui really wrote a letter to the last general, asking the last general to attack Xiangwu with all his might, but what does this mean? If I can conquer Xiangwu and then take Lintao by chance, won't it cut off Liu Qi's way back? Since the old thief secretly communicated with Liu Qi, how could he let the last general do something unfavorable to Liu Qi? Yan Xing still looked puzzled and asked suspiciously.
But he heard Sun Qian sigh: "Does the general know who is guarding Xiangwu?" ”
Yan Xing's face suddenly turned ashamed, shook his head and said: "The last general doesn't know, I only know that this person is good at defending the city, and it is difficult for us to break through." ”
But seeing Sun Qian, he smiled and said: "This person is a famous person in Liu Qi's army, although his official position is not high, but he has a ability, that is, he is extremely good at guarding, when Liu Qi led the army to conquer Yizhou, this person guarded Fuxian with less than 3,000 troops, and resisted the onslaught of 30,000 troops under Liu Zhang, and finally turned defense into attack and broke the enemy's army. Later, this person guarded Yangping Pass, with only 3,000 people actually blocked the attack of General Zhang Yide's 50,000 troops, and now this person has no less than 5,000 soldiers and horses in the city, and the general only has more than 20,000 cavalry, how can he capture this city? In addition to losing troops and slowly consuming strength, does the general still think that there will be a miracle? “
"What?" Yan Xing couldn't help but be shocked, and then said: "I really didn't expect that there are such strange people in the world, no wonder our army has been helpless with this Xiangwu City for so many days, but I don't know what the name of this person is?" ”
"This person's surname is Huo, his name is Jun, his name is Zhongmiao, a native of Zhijiang in Nanjun, as long as he is in the place, he is as safe as Mount Tai, which is difficult to plot. General Yan, Han Sui conspired with Ma Chao to kill Ling Zun Lingtang, and forcibly allowed Mrs. Zun to Ma Chao, this is the so-called revenge of killing his father, the hatred of taking his wife, not sharing the sky, now Xiangwu City is eager to go south, why not lead the army to attack Han Sui, and then return to Jincheng, break Liu Qi, kill Ma Chao, and avenge this great revenge? As long as the general is willing to agree, the Duke of Qin will definitely do his best to help, and after the matter is completed, the Duke of Qin promised to keep the two counties of Jincheng and Longxi under the control of the general, which is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the general, and I hope the general must grasp it. ”
Sun Qian looked at Yan Xing with burning eyes and said unhurriedly.
Yan Xing's eyes suddenly flashed a trace of eagerness, and a stream of blood suddenly surged, and he saluted Sun Qian: "If it's not sir, Xing is still being played with by Han Sui's old thief on applause, please rest assured, sir, the last general is willing to swear allegiance to Qin Gong to the death, lead the army and Qin Gong to join forces, break Han Sui together, and then kill Jincheng, slaughter Ma Chao, capture Liu Qi, and avenge this deep hatred."
