Cheng Gongying guessed correctly, Yan Xing was indeed no longer alive, and Tian Yu was indeed playing a discordant strategy, but he didn't expect that no matter how Han Sui dealt with Cheng Yin and the other four this time, it could be regarded as a success for Tian Yu.

If Han Sui followed Cheng Gongying's strategy and killed Cheng Yin and others with a few cups of poisonous wine, it would just save the Xiliang Army from doing it, anyway, there is no shortage of generals in the Xiliang Army who lead troops to fight. On the other hand, Han Sui's side is not, if Cheng Yin and the others die, Han Sui's backbone will only be Cheng Gongying, Liang Xing and the three candidates, how can they withstand the siege of Ma Chao, Hu Che'er, Pang De and Gao Shun?

If Han Sui sent two of the four people including Cheng Yin at the mercy of Tian Yu, how would the remaining two feel? As soon as Yan Xing died, the final exchange would definitely not be realized, and what should be done with the two people selected by Han Sui?

Therefore, whether he kills or stays, Han Sui will face an unavoidable problem - the army is in turmoil, and there are no generals available!

In the end, Han Sui chose to put Cheng Yin and others under house arrest, and he said to Cheng Gongying: "Send people to closely monitor these people, and if they find any changes, they will be executed immediately!"

Cheng Gongying opened his mouth and asked, "Which side of the Xiliang Army will reply?"

Han Sui replied: "Drag it out first, let's say that we suspect that Yan Xing has been killed, and let them send Yan Ming's handwritten letter as a token, and we will agree to exchange hostages." ”

Cheng Gongying nodded and took the order, turned around and walked out of Han Sui's study, and immediately arranged for his subordinates to start monitoring Cheng Yin and the others.

When the undercurrent in Guzang City was surging, Ma Chao and the others were not idle. After ambushing Yan Xing, Gao Shun immediately led his infantry into the Xingxing Gorge and pushed the blockade line to the west exit of the canyon, which also meant that the Xingxing Gorge had completely fallen into the hands of the Jin allied forces, and the troops could be sent to Guzang City at any time in the future.

The 10,000 cavalry led by Pang De had easily captured Luanniao City two days ago, and for a period of time in the future, he would temporarily garrison the city and guard the more than 3,000 captives that had been captured twice. These captives were originally Pang De's former subordinates, but now they are under his care, and they are naturally honest, waiting for Pang Lao ** to leave a small life, and they want to follow the Xiliang Army to eat military salaries in the future.

According to Tian Yu's suggestion, after Ma Chao exploded Yan Xing, he disappeared without a trace with 10,000 cavalry, and he didn't know where he went. But there is no doubt that Ma Chao, who has lived and grown up in Wuwei since he was a child, will not get lost even if he is drunk and leads the team, even if he is thrown into the inaccessible Tengger Desert north of Wuwei.

Hu Che'er took 10,000 cavalry and Tian Yu to settle in the city, and waited for Tian Yu's discordant plan to work, and then "teamed" Gao Shun to attack Guzang City. Now there are more than 10,000 soldiers left in Guzang City, and Hu Che'er's 10,000 cavalry plus Gao Shun's 10,000 infantry are enough to break through this city. Of course, if Tian Yu's counter-plan succeeds and lets Han Sui and them fight first in the nest, the Jin soldiers who are besieging the city will also have fewer casualties, which is still very important for the current Xiliang War, which is currently tight.

After two days in a rare calm, the messenger sent by Han Sui could only hand over the letter to Gao Shun, who was guarding the mouth of Xingxing Gorge, and then waited for Tian Yu's reply with a frown. After a night of suffering, Tian Yu's reply was finally delivered to Han Sui's messenger, and it was not long before Han Sui learned that his son-in-law Yan Xing was dead.

Annoyed and angry, Han Sui immediately ordered someone to secretly prepare a table of wine and food, and then sent someone to invite Cheng Yin, Li Kan, Zhang Heng, Cheng Yi and others to come to the banquet, but something unexpected happened to him.

Cheng Yin explained to the visitors that there were soldiers in the army who intended to rebel, and that he was now busy arresting spies and that he really didn't have time to go to the banquet; Li Kan said that he had suffered from the wind and cold last night, and now he was so lightheaded that he couldn't even walk, so how could he dare to drink; Zhang Heng was beating his wife in the back room with a half-cut broom, and he was muttering something while beating, "I asked you to steal a man while I wasn't there, Lao Tzu had to kill you alive today!" Cheng Yi did not refuse the invitation, but he said that he would not be in the mood to drink until he rescued Yan Xing.

In short, the few people Han Sui wanted to invite did not come for various reasons and excuses. Just as he was pondering how to get rid of the four people, he suddenly heard a panicked soldier running to report: "Report to the general, a large number of troops have been found outside the city, and they are moving in the direction of the city gate!"

Han Sui was stunned, he never expected that Tian Yu would launch a siege battle at this time.

Why did Tian Yu choose this time to start the war? From the analysis of various signs in Guzang City, if you wait until Han Sui gets rid of Cheng Yin and others before attacking Guzang, the effect is not as good as at this time, Han Sui and Cheng Yin and others are busy counting each other's time.

Now that the time is ripe, Ma Chao also led his troops to the area of Xiutu to the west of Guzang, and Tian Yu naturally would not miss the opportunity. Therefore, to Han Sui's feeling that without warning, the 20,000 troops led by Gao Shun and Hu Che'er appeared outside Guzang City.

In a hurry, Han Sui didn't have time to think about making a move on Cheng Yin and the others, but ordered his generals to quickly lead their troops to the top of the city and prepare to defend the city. Although the generals with their own thoughts received the order, they had other calculations, and few people were willing to accompany Han Sui to wait for death.

In order to deter the defenders at the head of the city at the beginning, Gao Shun ordered all the soldiers responsible for launching the catapult to use the giant thunderbolt, which was an earth-shattering loud noise and air explosion, and the defenders of the city were heartbroken, and the three souls were missing seven spirits, where did they still have the courage to face the ladders, nest cars and wells that approached the city wall immediately after.

The 10,000 siege infantry trained by Gao Shun himself, with the brave style of the camp back then, swept up the head of Guzang like a whirlwind and clouds, and they brandished the hook and sickle and spear in their hands to instantly pierce any enemy who dared to counterattack, and the fierce murderous aura exuded from the whole body seemed to be able to solidify into a layer of substantive armor.

As soon as Cheng Yin, who was quick-eyed, saw the siege army ascending to the top of the eastern city, he immediately shouted loudly: "Brothers, don't resist, if you want to live, quickly follow me down to the city to capture the thief Han Sui!" Then, the two thousand soldiers who listened to his orders poured down from the city like a tide, and the direction of progress suddenly became the Zhenxi General's Mansion where Han Sui was.

The trapped warriors who were chasing after Cheng Yin were not in a hurry to kill, but immediately occupied the favorable terrain and opened the city gate to meet Hu Che'er's cavalry into the city.

A similar situation still happened, Li Kan, Zhang Heng, Cheng Yi and others either led the army to surrender directly, or they also led the way in front like Cheng Yin, shouting the call sign of "arrest the anti-thief Han Sui and Cheng Gongying".

Guzang City, which I thought would take a lot of trouble and damage some soldiers to take, was easily broken by Gao Shun's trapped-in infantry in the case of internal mutiny. The siege soldiers didn't even have time to use the chariots that bombarded the gates, and the gates were already opened by friendly troops who had ascended to the top of the city.

When Hu Che'er led 10,000 cavalry into the city, he found that Han Sui had escaped from the north gate with Cheng Gongying, and Liang Xing and the candidates, who knew that they had fallen into Ma Chao's hands and would be unable to survive, escaped with Han Sui, and they took a total of 5,000 soldiers with them.

Fortunately, Tian Yu expected the enemy first, and suggested that Ma Chao detour from the desert north of the Star Canyon three days in advance, and rush to the only way for Han Sui and the others to flee west. In this way, Han Sui and Cheng Gongying will eventually encounter the person they are most afraid of confronting, and Hugh Slaughter City is afraid that this time it will also become a mad slaughter city, and finally bury the 5,000 Han Sui's descendants who resisted to the end here.
