The World of Yellow Sky

Chapter 186 The Northwest Shock
The Qiang coalition army, which is now the Xiliang army, was defeated by the Han army led by Zhang Wen in Meiyang in the second year of Zhongping (185).

Dong Zhuo joined forces with You Fufeng and Bao Hong to attack, and defeated Han Sui and Bian Zhang's army, beheading thousands of levels.

The Xiliang army suffered a defeat, and the morale of the army was unstable, so Beigong Boyu and others had no choice but to temporarily retreat to Yuzhong.

Although the main force of the Xiliang army was not damaged, the haze of defeat lingered on their heads for a long time and could not dissipate.

These Qiang cavalry were originally united by Xianling Qiang and various tribes in Beidi County, gathered into an army, led by different leaders, and supported Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou as generals.

In November 184, that is, the seventh year of Guanghe and the first year of Zhongping, shortly after the Qiang cavalry rebellion, they took Bian Yun, who was then the governor of Liangzhou, and Liangzhou, who was engaged in Han Yue, as hostages and did not return them.

Beigong Boyu and others invaded Jincheng County, beheaded Chen Yi, the prefect of Jincheng, coerced Bian Yun and Han Yue into joining the gang, and elected Bian Yun as the leader.

Later, something happened, Bian Yun changed his name to Bian Zhang, and Han Yue officially changed his name to Han Sui at this time.

Bian Zhang and others led tens of thousands of cavalry to invade Sanfu under the banner of killing eunuchs, and invaded the Yuanling Mausoleum.

If they had been victorious, they would have barely maintained the alliance, but after suffering successive setbacks this time, internal conflicts within the Xiliang Army began to grow.

The defeat of Bian Zhang and Han Sui also caused a great loss of prestige. Originally, they were elected by Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou. The two are much less.

There were also some disputes between the two sides, but then General Zhou Shen led [-] Han troops to pursue Yuzhong City, leading the army to surround Yuzhong City.

The dispute between the two sides subsided. At this time, the Han army defeated the Xiliang army in a row, which was the time when the morale was high.

Bian Zhang and Han Sui were originally Han officials, so they knew the elite combat power of the Han army, and they knew that there would be no way out if they defended Yuzhong City.

So Bian Zhang and Han Sui led troops to ambush out of the city from the north of Yuzhong City, bypassing Zhou Shen's main force of the Han army, and took control of Kuiyuan Gorge.

Kuiyuan Gorge, with steep rock walls and jagged rock formations, is the narrowest place in the Lanzhou section of the Yellow River, with a width of only 75 meters. Therefore, it is also known as Baijunkou Gorge. It is the water gateway of Yuzhong City and a battleground for military strategists.

Bian Zhang and Han Sui led the troops to occupy Kuiyuan Gorge, which was equivalent to cutting off Zhou Shen's army's grain road.

Panic-stricken, Zhou Shen immediately canceled the siege of Yuzhong City, turned around and withdrew his troops, but when passing through Kuiyuan Gorge, he was chased and beaten by the Xiliang Army led by Bian Zhang and Han Sui.

The Han army led by Zhou Shen suffered heavy losses, discarded all their supplies, and was almost wiped out.

Bian Zhang and Han Sui also re-established their prestige in the army because of another victory over the Han army, but the seeds of dispute and hatred between the two sides were buried in Han Sui's heart.

Although the Han army was newly defeated, the combat power of the Xiliang army was still unable to completely overwhelm the Han army. The main force of the Meiyang Han army led by Taiwei Zhang Wen did not lose too much strength and might make a comeback at any time.

Han Sui worked in Liangzhou, and he was in Liangzhou, so he knew the habits of these Qiang people well.

The previous disputes also made Han Sui understand that these Qiang people were not good for schemes. What they did was rebellion.

The Han army was watching from the sidelines, but there were indeed many contradictions within the Xiliang army. Now every time the Xiliang army made a decision, it needed the four people of Beigong Boyu, Li Wenhou, Bian Zhang, and Han Sui to make a decision together.

Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou are both Qiang people, so they naturally agree with each other, but what makes Han Sui even more chilling is that Bian Zhang sometimes goes along with Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou and puts Han Sui aside.

In the third year of Zhongping (186), on December 12, the winter solstice, Yuzhong City was full of joy.

Good news came from the south again. Dong Zhuo's army stationed at Wangyuan was repulsed by Xiliang's army, and fled along the river to the Han army's garrison in Meiyang.

Seeing that the situation was very good, the Xiliang army that had stabilized held a banquet in the city to reward the three armies. No one noticed the stern look in Han Sui's eyes

The sky was getting dark, and the Xiliang army, which had been jubilant for a long time, finally calmed down.

Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou's mouths were full of grease at the moment, and they fought against each other for alcohol. By this time, they could hardly even walk steadily. If they wanted to get up to go to the toilet, they had to be supported by their own soldiers.

Although the guards had the duty of guarding, Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou's mood made them drink a lot of good wine. At this time, the faces of these guards were all flushed.

Although Bian Zhang was not as indulgent as the Qiang people, the main force of the Han army finally retreated, which made him feel very comfortable. After sweeping away the haze, he also drank a lot of fine wine.

Han Sui's face was also flushed, and he staggered when he walked, but when he lowered his head, his eyes were still extremely clear.

Everyone was addicted to food and drink, and the figure of the dancer Miaoman in the hall was even more intoxicating.

Naturally, no one noticed that in addition to the original guards, there were many more people in the government office.

While everyone was drinking and having fun, one of Han Sui's personal guards lightly hammered Han Sui's shoulder. Pawn, slowly closed.

Holding the wine glass, Han Sui stood up slowly. Although his face was still flushed, his eyes were not cloudy at all.

The wind music also stopped suddenly at this moment, and the effect of alcohol made everyone's minds turn a little slow.

Beigong Boyu was stunned for a moment, then he slapped the desk in front of him and shouted loudly: "Which dog kills people who hate longevity?!"

Seeing Beigong Boyu's sudden change of color, the dancing girls beside him were startled, and they didn't even dare to breathe.

Li Wenhou also echoed and scolded loudly, but he quickly shut his mouth, because he realized that something was wrong with the atmosphere in the arena. Beside the pipe music stood several soldiers in armor and holding short knives.

All eyes were on Han Sui who was standing there.

"Han Wenyue, this is..."

A horrified look appeared on Bian Zhang's face, he found some clues, and touched his waist as he thought about it, but he didn't bring his weapon into the hall.

He wanted to stand up, but the alcohol paralyzed his brain, and the fear in his heart made him unable to effectively control his body.

Beigong Boyu was startled, he raised his head and looked around, only to see that there were already vague figures outside the doors of the surrounding rooms.

"A group of wine bags and rice bags."

Han Sui was condescending, looked at the ugly people in front of him with disdain, let out a sneer, and there was a palpitating murderous intent in his eyes.

Han Sui suddenly threw the wine glass in his hand on the ground, and the wooden doors on both sides of the courtyard were suddenly opened, and countless soldiers with sharp knives and axes jumped into the hall.

Blood sprayed out one after another, dyeing the walls and floor of the entire courtyard blood red, and the air was filled with an unpleasant smell of blood.

I don't know how long the killing has been going on, and the wailing, screaming, and cursing in the courtyard have completely disappeared.

Han Sui took out a silk cloth from his bosom, and slowly wiped the dagger in his hand clean.

At his feet, there was a terrified Bian Zhang. His eyes were wide open, his mouth was slightly open, but he couldn't speak, and blood was flowing from his heart.

The entire courtyard was covered with a thin layer of blood.

Han Sui walked past the corpse, stood by the door and looked at the scene in the courtyard, and let out a breath of foul air.

And behind him, the only ones who could still stand were those soldiers holding knives and axes.

　Before ten o'clock, I will directly update twice in one breath. The update will start tomorrow at [-]:[-] p.m., two updates at a time.

　　If you have a little manuscript, you will be tough when you speak. Although there is only a little bit, you don't delay your toughness.
