Chapter 9: Yan Xing
Han Sui raised his eyes and looked at Yan Xing, his shriveled lips moved, and he didn't speak, just stared at Yan Xing with a burning eye.
Yan Xing lowered his head.
Han Sui said: "Yanming, you are an old man's favorite general. The old man gave you the right to command the whole army, just to see that you are quite talented between advancing and retreating. And you are so rash. ”
Yan Xing also swallowed nervously and said, "The last general knows that he is wrong. ”
Han Sui said: "The reason why the old man sent five tribes to fight is to stop the horse's advance. However, the horses became more and more courageous, and never stopped the offensive of westward into Liangzhou. He clearly saw the old man's intentions clearly, so he would never be Dong Zhuo, Yang Ci and the like. This brocade horse is super brave and strategic, and it must be a big trouble for the old man's henchmen. ”
Yan Xing said: "The lord's words are heavy. Our army has 180,000 infantry and cavalry, complete armor, brave and good at fighting; and control the entire Liangzhou, and the offensive and defensive momentum is all up to me. Ma Chaodang is difficult to win. ”
Han Sui shook his head and said, "Not so." The conquest is changing rapidly. If Ma Chao can command properly, we may not be able to get benefits from him. Besides, Ma Chaozu is the famous Ma Fubo, who doesn't know about Xiliang Shimin? He took in the troops of our army for his own use, that is, he obviously knew how to take advantage of this advantage. ”
Yan Xing saw that Han Sui was still quite jealous of this Ma Chao between his words, and he was overjoyed, and secretly thought that the opportunity to admonish him had arrived. Yan Xing said tentatively: "Since this is the case, it is better to ......"
Yan Xing had long wanted to discuss this matter with Han Sui, but now that the words had blocked his throat, he didn't dare to say it.
"Why not as good as what?" Han Sui asked calmly, without any waves in his tone.
Yan Xing gritted his teeth, thinking that it would be a big deal anyway and he would be scolded again. He resolutely said: "It's better to surrender to the court!" ”
Han Sui lowered his head and did not speak. Seeing that Han Sui didn't speak, Yan Xing thought that he was really a little moved by his opinion, and began to seriously ponder the feasibility of surrendering to the imperial court, and he was glad in his heart.
Yan Xingdao: "Now that Ma Teng and Ma Chao's father and son are marching into Xiliang, it is unstoppable, and the lord has a lot of trouble to deal with them. And the lord has become a tiger in the west and a hegemon. The imperial court has repeatedly conscripted the lord, but the lord has been beaten back one by one. Except for Ma Teng and Ma Chao's father and son, they are no longer able to compete with the lord in Xiliang. My father-in-law now has the upper hand, if he surrenders, how can the court not accept it? In this way, the lord can also justifiably divide Liangzhou. is like Zhang Jiao of the Black Mountain Army, but he was born as a thief, and he was also named a general after descending to the imperial court. May the Lord think about it. Yan Xing's eyebrows fluttered as he spoke.
Han Sui suddenly raised his head and said, "Yanming, do you really think so?" ”
Yan Xing was stunned for a moment and said, "Yes." ”
Han Sui snorted coldly and then remained silent. Yan Xing hurriedly explained: "My lord, when Liangzhou was in turmoil for a long time, there were heavy casualties, the fields were barren, and the soldiers and people were all looking forward to a few days of peaceful life. And if the lord does not reconcile with the court, Ma Chao will not retreat, and he will fight with the lord to the death. In this way, Liangzhou does not know how long the war will be, and the Hu people and Han people do not know how long they will kill each other. The lord is also a person from Liangzhou, why not descend to the court to live the villagers? ”
Han Sui scolded sharply: "I am heavy on you." How dare you take advantage of this to do my big thing?! ”
Yan Xing was also anxious at this time, and knelt down and said, "Lord, this is the words of the last general!" ”
Han Sui stood up and said more fiercely: "The old man now has 200,000 troops, occupies Liangzhou, and subdues Hu Han. How can you surrender to the imperial court and survive by selling your glory? As for the withering chaos in Liangzhou, hum! Han Sui said this, and snorted coldly.
As soon as Yan Xing looked up, he happened to see the disdainful look on Han Sui's face. Yan Xing understood, Han Sui didn't care about the life or death of the people of Liangzhou at all, and his heart was immediately cold.
Han Sui said: "You immediately go down to supervise the opening of the army, this battle of the old man will definitely retreat the horses, and then enter the three auxiliaries to surround Chang'an." If he repeats his words of surrender, the old man will not be spared. ”
Yan Xing bowed down and bowed, not arguing with Han Sui again, but said lightly: "No, the last general will go!" ”
Walking out of the Hanyang Taishou Mansion, Yan Xing was already in a trance. One didn't pay attention, stepped on the air as he walked down the steps, and fell down.
If it weren't for today, Yan Xing would still think that the reason why Han Sui rebelled was because he wanted to save the people of the world. Persuading He Jin to kill the eunuchs who caused chaos in the world, and killing Beigong Boyu and others who harmed Liangzhou were all regarded by Yan Xing as a manifestation of his ambition to calm the people.
But who knew that Han Sui only cared about his own rebellious cause, and completely ignored the life and death of the people of Liangzhou. From this moment on, Yan Xing began to regret it. He was also a commoner, but because he saw Liangzhou fall into turmoil between the Hu and Han people's attacks, he was determined to settle the chaos and calm the people. That's why he voted for Han Sui, who was also out of Jincheng, and he thought that Han Sui would stabilize Liangzhou. But with only a few words today, Yan Xing realized that he was wrong.
(Yan Xing once persuaded Han Sui to surrender to Cao Cao in history, because the soldiers and people were already exhausted, and Liangzhou was in turmoil for too long.) Yan Xing wanted Liangzhou to settle down as soon as possible and stop the endless wolf smoke war. However, Han Sui did not listen. Yan Xing saw that Han Sui had no intention of stopping the war and stabilizing Liangzhou; Instead, because he suspected that he was secretly colluding with Cao Cao, he forced him to marry. So Yan Xing rebelled against Han Sui and waved his army to attack Han Sui's army. )
However, Yan Xing didn't have any choice. He stood under the Taishou Mansion and raised his eyes to look into the streets of Jicheng. Before he could see the corpses of the people, he first smelled a strong smell of blood. There was no need to guess any further, Yan Qing knew that the source of this smell of blood was the corpses of the people. Then I heard the mournful cries of women and the rampant laughter of men from the city. Yan Xing knew that this was the last "carnival" of the rebel soldiers before they pulled out of the camp, and he didn't know how many women had been brutally mutilated. Yan Xing secretly gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.
Yan Xing wanted to rescue those women, but when he thought of Han Sui's uncertain face, he closed his eyes weakly. Yan Xing only now realized that he was actually so weak and incompetent. This made him very tormented inside. Under the anger in his heart, a name actually flashed in Yan Xing's mind: Ma Chao!
Ma Chao has Han and Qiang blood, and he is still a descendant of Ma Fubo, and the people of Xiliang respect him a lot. What if Ma Chao is demoted and helps him defeat Han Sui? Yan Xing thought to himself.
This bold idea made Yan Xing's heart beat faster and he was excited.
But then Yan Xing was quick to reject this idea. Yan Xing thought to himself, Ma Chao had surrendered many rebel soldiers, it was impossible for him not to know the heinous crimes committed by these rebel soldiers in the land of Liangzhou. However, Ma Chao still accepted all the orders, and also treated these demons who plagued the people kindly. If he accommodates the rebels, how can he pacify the people?
It can be seen that Ma Chao is also a hero like Han Sui, who only thinks of using the help of the Qiang soldiers to do rebellious things and harm the people. Even if Ma Chao took Liangzhou from Han Sui, Liangzhou was just another Han Sui who killed the people. Yan Xing no longer had such plans.
