The Rebellious Officials and Traitors of the Late Han Dynasty

Chapter 315: He who knows the current affairs is a hero
Qin Shou looked at the young man in front of him. He was handsome, no wonder Han Sui chose him to be his son-in-law. He was also good in martial arts and could fight with Ma Chao.

"Yanming, I have heard of your great name for a long time!"

Qin Shou personally invited Yan Xing into the big tent.

"I have also heard of the Prime Minister's reputation in Xiliang. Seeing him today, I can see that his reputation is well-deserved."

Yan Xing didn't expect Qin Shou to come out of the camp to greet him in person. He was very moved and said quickly.

"How is your father-in-law? He lives in the western border. Han Wenyue is old and it's time for him to rest. I heard that he caught a cold some time ago."

Qin Shou asked as he walked.

Yan Xing nodded and said with a wry smile: "I have tried to persuade him, but it was of no use."

He was secretly surprised. He didn't expect that he even knew that Han Sui had caught a cold. Few people in the Xiliang army knew about this, but Qin Shou, who was thousands of miles away in Guanzhong, knew it clearly.

"He may be old but young at heart, you may not know this yet! When he comes to Guanzhong, I will give him ten beauties. The climate in Guanzhong is better than that in Xiliang." Qin Shou looked at Yan Xing with a smile.

Yan Xing looked even more embarrassed. Han Sui caught a cold because of what happened in the bedroom. If it got out, people would laugh their heads off. After all, Han Sui was Yan Xing's father-in-law, so he felt embarrassed.

"Forget it, it's the character of a scholar. Let's not talk about it!" Qin Shou led Yan Xing into the big tent with a smile.

"Yes, yes. The Prime Minister is right." Yan Xing breathed a sigh of relief.

"I still say the same thing. Your father-in-law is old now. He should return to Chang'an and be appointed as Minister of Education. He will be given the title of Marquis of Jincheng. Of course, if he does not want to return to Chang'an, he can be appointed as Governor of Liangzhou and Marquis of Jincheng."

Qin Shou was still very generous to Han Sui. After all, the other party showed his sincerity by sending his son-in-law, so Qin Shou couldn't be stingy.

"As for you, Yan Xing, you have formed the Dikui Camp. I will accept you as the Dikui General. After you have made contributions, I will confer you the title of Marquis."

Qin Shou said to Yan Xing again.

Yan Xing was excited after hearing this. He knew the appointment method of the Cavalry Generals. It was very rare to form a battalion on its own, and it was even rarer to be awarded the rank of General.

"I thank the Prime Minister for his kindness."

Yan Xing hurriedly thanked him.

"Han Sui allowed you to come and see me, which shows that he trusts me. You go back and tell him that I will not let him down." Qin Shou patted Yan Xing on the shoulder and said.

"Don't worry, Prime Minister. My father-in-law and son-in-law will definitely be loyal to you."

Yan Xing patted his chest and said.

Qin Shou nodded, but he disagreed in his heart. Yan Xing might be able to do it, but Han Sui, who was full of tricks, might not be able to do it.

"The soldiers of Xiliang are the elite of the world. Most of the elite soldiers of the Han Dynasty come from Xiliang. The soldiers of the Dikui Camp should be the elite of the elite. You have to select the best of the best. I hope that under my command, there will be more than just the powerful elite of the Huben Camp."

Qin Shou warned.

Back then, Dong Zhuo intimidated the world with the troops of Xiliang, and Qin Shou himself started his career with the troops of Xiliang, so he knew how powerful the Xiliang cavalry was, and he also hoped that Yan Xing, this fierce general, could build a powerful army for him.

"Don't worry, Prime Minister. You will see such troops soon."

Yan Xing said with a guarantee.

"If you have any other requests, just let me know."

Qin Shou said with a smile.

"My old father is in poor health. I heard that the two great doctors Hua Tuo and Zhang Ji are in Luoyang. I will let my old father and his family live in Luoyang." Yan Xing said hesitantly.

"I will grant you a mansion and house your family in Luoyang."

Qin Shou agreed without hesitation.

Whether it was sincere or he wanted to use his family as hostage, Qin Shou would not refuse. Yan Xing quickly returned to Jincheng. He met Han Sui on the way and told him what Qin Shou had said.

Han Sui nodded repeatedly and said, "No wonder Qin Shou became the prime minister at such a young age. This is not only due to his bravery, but also his wisdom, which is unmatched by ordinary people."

"Weng Yue believes the Prime Minister?"

Yan Xing was very surprised when he heard this. He didn't expect that Han Sui actually believed Qin Shou. This was very rare.

In Xiliang, everyone knows that Han Sui is a scheming man who never trusts others. But until now, he still trusts someone he has never met, and the other person is his opponent.

"Of course I do."

Han Sui chuckled and said, "If his strength was equal to mine, I would not trust him, but the Prime Minister's strength is far superior to mine, why would he deceive me?"

After hearing this, Yan Xing couldn't help but nodded. It was indeed the case.

There was absolutely no need for Qin Shou to deceive Han Sui.

Since he even knew Han Sui's private secrets, it would be easy to send someone to poison Han Sui.

"It is rumored that the Prime Minister has a powerful secret service team, and the actions of all the ministers in the court are under their surveillance. Now it seems that not only the officials in the court, but also people like us are under the surveillance of the court."

Han Sui showed a bitter smile.

"Weng Yue, do you want it?"

Yan Xing made a gesture.

Han Sui shook his head and said, "I have no intention of conquering the world or establishing my own territory, so don't worry about it."

He looked into the distance with a bleak expression.

Seeing this, Yan Xing felt a little worried. He found that Han Sui's behavior seemed to have changed a lot, but he didn't know the reason.

"Based on this alone, how could Ma Chao possibly be a match for the Prime Minister?"

Han Sui said with disdain.

Fighting a war is not just about bravery, which is also an important reason why he looks down on Ma Chao.

After Qin Shou defeated Yuan Shao, the strategy should have been adjusted to prevent Qin Shou from attacking from Hedong, but Ma Chao did not do so and only sent Cheng Yi to guard Linjin. Isn't this a way to die?
If it were Han Sui, he would rather let Cheng Yi resist Zhong Yao and he himself resist Qin Shou. In this way, the current situation would not have happened.

Now when he realized it, Ma Chao was defeated.

It's a pity that after a serious illness, my health has become much worse. Otherwise, I could have defended Xiliang. Now I can only obey Qin Shou's orders.

"Rise up! End the battle as soon as possible."

Han Sui sighed slightly, then ordered Yan Xing to lead the army towards Guanzhong.

Ma Chao was very happy when he heard that Han Sui was leading the army here.

"He has vision after all. Han Wenyou also knows the principle of the lips and teeth being cold. We have so many troops, why should we be afraid of Qin Shou? What do you think?" Ma Chao laughed in the camp.

Liang Xing and others also nodded, with joy on their faces.

Although the three armies formed a Bagua formation to resist the attack of the Cavalry Army, the generals were still a little worried without external help. Now that Han Sui led the army here, Liang Xing and others felt relieved.

"Wait until the Qiang troops arrive and wait, then it will be time to defeat the Cavalry Army." Cheng Yin also said loudly.

It seemed as if victory was just around the corner.
