Soldiers come to the world

At the same time when Han Sui secretly met with Cao Cao's envoy, in another camp about five or six miles away from Han Sui's camp, General Liang Xing was listening to a patrol report with a solemn expression.

"The humble officer is absolutely right. It is Cao Cao's emissary. He was escorted by Cao Jun soldiers and crossed the river in a small boat. The emissary finally entered Han Sui's camp."

Liang Xing was also one of the ten divisions of Guanlong, with [-] soldiers under him. He was originally stationed at Pujin Pass under the order of Ma Chao, but the defense was not strict. Pujin Pass was successfully attacked by Cao Jun, and he had to retreat southward.

However, his army was defeated by Cao Jun in the battle of withdrawing from Weishui in the south, and he lost nearly 4000 people. This made Liang Xing extremely dissatisfied with Han Sui. He refused to send troops to help him cross the river, so that his army suffered heavy losses, and he charged this account to Han Sui.

Now that Han Sui was in secret contact with Cao Cao's envoy, how could he let it go, Liang Xing immediately ordered to the left and right: "I must stop Cao Cao's envoy!"

Cao Cao's envoy left Han Sui's camp under the cover of night, and rode towards the Weihe River with two entourages. They ran along the river for more than ten miles, and when they passed a forest, there was a sudden sound of dysprosium. Passing over their heads, hundreds of soldiers rushed out of the woods and surrounded them

In the fierce flames, Liang Xing urged the horse to go forward, glanced coldly at Cao Cao's envoy, and shouted: "Tie them up to me!"

Everyone rushed forward and overturned Cao Cao's envoy to the ground, and found Han Sui's reply letter from him. The envoy shouted: "Don't hurt me, I will explain everything!"

Liang Xing took Han Sui's reply letter, looked at the letter, and said, "Prime Minister Cao kisses you", it was signed by Han Sui from Xiliang, Liang Xing couldn't help showing a smirk on his face, the evidence is solid, let's see what else he has to say [

Three days later, Ma Chao led an allied army of [-] troops to the south bank of the Weishui River, and set up camp not far from Han Sui's camp. While the camp was busy clearing up, a soldier came to report, "General Liang is here!"

This is Liang Xing's arrival, and Ma Chao was also wanting to know about Cao Jun's situation, so he hurriedly invited him in. After a while, Liang Xing hurried into the big tent, knelt down on one knee and saluted, "The last general sees the general!"

"Get up! Tell me about Cao Jun's situation."

Liang Xing got up and said: "Cao's army has about [-] people, and the general Xia Houyuan is in command. In the first battle, our defense had loopholes, and the defense force at night was too small. They succeeded in attacking Pujin Pass, but the second battle was in Weibei. The defeat is not the responsibility of the humble position, it is because someone secretly communicated with the thief Cao and betrayed me."

"What do you mean by that?"

Ma Chao asked in surprise, "Who betrayed you?"

Liang Xing took out Han Sui's letter to Cao Cao, handed it to Ma Chao and said, "The humble officer intercepted Cao Jun's envoy, and found this letter on him, the general will know it at a glance."

Ma Chao took the letter and looked at it, his face suddenly became gloomy. He opened the letter and read it carefully, and suddenly flew into a rage, "I regard him as my father, but he secretly betrayed me, this thief deserves to be killed!"

Pang De, Ma Chao's confidant next to him, quickly persuaded: "General, calm down. If the two armies fight among themselves, it will only benefit Cao Jun. It is better to keep silent for a while, and invite Han Sui to discuss military affairs, kill this man directly, and take over his army."

Ma Chao held back his anger and nodded, "Ling Ming is right!"

He immediately ordered his soldiers, "Go to the camp of Governor Han and say that there is an urgent military situation, please come and discuss it quickly."

After walking a few steps, Ma Chao said to Pang De: "You and my brother can each lead [-] troops to ambush around Han Sui's camp. When I get a signal, surround his camp and make an emergency landing!"

Han Sui sent Cao Jun's envoy away, and he has been waiting for Cao Cao's reply. Seeing that Ma Chao's army had arrived at the Weihe River, Cao Cao had not heard from him for a long time, which made him feel a little uneasy.

At this time, Ma Chao sent someone to invite him to discuss the military situation, Han Sui had no doubts, and rushed to Ma Chao's camp with a dozen followers.

Entering the barracks and approaching the big tent, Han Sui felt a trace of murderous intent, and suddenly he felt a little uneasy. He saw Ma Chao coming out of the big tent and said with a smile, "Why is Uncle Shi late?"

"If you pack your things in the camp, you will come a step late."

Ma Chao originally wanted to get in and pack him up, but at this moment he could no longer hold back the overwhelming anger in his heart, and said coldly, "Is Dudu Han packing up his luggage?"

Han Sui was stunned, stopped in his tracks and asked, "Nephew, why did you say that?"

Before Ma Chao could speak, Liang Xing rushed up and pointed at him and yelled: "Old thief, you cheated on Cao Cao and caused me a disastrous defeat. Do you dare not admit it?"

Han Sui suddenly turned his head to look at Ma Chao, and saw that he was pressing on the hilt of his sword with murderous look in his eyes. He knew that he had been exposed, so he turned around and ran away. Han Sui fell to the ground, and he cupped his hands and begged, "Nephew, because of our friendship, please spare my life!"

"friendship?"

Ma Chao said viciously: "I only have hatred for killing my mother and hatred for betrayal with you, but I have no friendship!" He raised his sword and beheaded Han Sui. The soldiers were beheaded and killed.

Ma Chao cut off Han Sui's head, held it up high and shouted: "Han Sui had an affair with Cao Cao in an attempt to put us to death. Kill him today to scare the traitors!"

Han Sui was killed, everyone in the Ma Chao camp was shocked, and the rest of the troops were panicked, especially Hou Xuan, Cheng Yin, Li Kan and other people who were close friends with Han Sui were dissatisfied and angry.

Just when Ma Chao's army attacked Han Sui's barracks and the army was unstable, Cao Jun took the opportunity to build a pontoon bridge on the Weihe River. "Chaos" tried to prevent Cao's army from stationing in the camp. In just one day and one night, Xu Huang built a military camp on the south bank of the Wei River that could accommodate tens of thousands of people.

At night, dark clouds, stars and moonlight, thick clouds enveloped the land of Guanzhong, and the strong wind from the Weishui River blew the woods on the south bank. A sentinel was pacing back and forth, watching the official road in the distance vigilantly.

In a forest a few miles away from Cao Jun, Ma Chao personally led an army of [-] people and was ready to attack. Tonight is a good opportunity to steal the camp. Both wise and brave, it is very easy to be attacked tonight, will Xu Huang be prepared?"

Ma Chao sneered and said, "He is always ready, so what? Can his camp withstand the impact of my five thousand iron hooves?"

At this time, a soldier said: "General, the time has come!"

Ma Chao waved his sword and shouted loudly: "Kill me!"

The [-] cavalry suddenly mobilized, like a river breaking its embankment, the horses galloped, and the horseshoes sounded like thunder, shouting and killing resounded throughout the earth, and the [-] most elite cavalry rushed to Cao Jun's camp.

When the cavalry was more than a hundred steps away from the camp, hundreds of horses running in front suddenly fell down one after another. Tribulus, the horses were hit one after another, rolled over and fell to the ground, the cavalry was thrown from the horse, and the horses behind couldn't catch up, and crashed into a ball.

When the cavalry was in chaos, the walls of Cao Jun's camp suddenly burst into flames. Thousands of crossbowmen lying in ambush here fired arrows at the Xiliang army. In just one stick of incense, more than half of the [-] cavalry had been lost, and they all retreated in fright, and the [-] infantry behind them also became a mess.

Pang De rushed to Ma Chao and reported loudly: "General, the enemy army is fully prepared, and the brothers suffered heavy casualties!"

Ma Chao's face turned pale, so he could only say angrily: "Retreat!"

As soon as he finished his words, there was a loud drumming behind him, and the flames blazed everywhere. The six thousand Cao troops who were ambushing behind them rushed out. With a loud shout: "Stop the horse!"

Ma Chao was furious, and rushed forward with his gun, but Pang De and Ma Dai held the reins tightly, and shouted: "General, the army is in chaos, retreat quickly!"

The Xiliang army was in chaos all around, and they turned around and fled westward, even the cavalry stopped attacking. At this time, Yu Jin led another 5000 people to kill from the south. Decided, he had to sigh a long time, and ordered: "The whole army retreats!"

He turned his horse's head and fled towards his camp with Pang De and Ma Dai. Xu Huang and Yu Jin led the army to chase after him. In this battle, the Xiliang army was killed and injured. 5000 people went to steal the camp, but less than 4000 soldiers escaped in the end, and most of the [-] elite cavalry were killed or injured.

Ma Chao fled back to the barracks, feeling extremely depressed. At this time, he was also a little shaken, so he sent someone to find Ma Dai and Pang De. Ma Chao sighed and said to the two: "Han Sui betrayed me. Shaken, tell me, what should we do now?"

Ma Dai thought for a while and said, "Can we ask Liu Jing for help? Since he has occupied Hanzhong, he should have enough troops in his hands. If he can go north to Guanzhong, then our crisis will be resolved."

Ma Chao shook his head, "Liu Jing is now in Xiangyang, even if he agrees to send troops, it will take half a month to come and go, I'm afraid it will be too late, and we are in a disadvantageous situation, he may not be willing to send troops, we can't pin our hopes on him .”

Pang De said again: "I heard that Hou Xuan, Cheng Yin and others were dissatisfied with the general's killing of Han Sui. Now that we are defeated and the morale of the army is even more unstable, it is better to ask Cao Cao for peace, and we retreat to Liangzhou to recharge our batteries. , and consider making a comeback in the future.”

Ma Dai also persuaded: "Lingming is right. Anyway, Han Sui is dead. If people compete with us for Xiliang, it is the best policy to retreat. I agree to negotiate peace with Cao Cao."

Ma Chao thought about it for a while, and there was nothing he could do, so he nodded, recruited a secretary, handed him his own letter and said, "Go to the north bank and tell Cao Cao that as long as he is willing to let me return to the west bank Liang, I would like to use the Yellow River as the boundary and never go further east. In addition, I can also use my son as a hostage."

"Humble post obeys orders!"

Shuzuo took the letter, saluted and left in a hurry. At this time, Ma Chao said to the two in a low voice: "In order to prevent Hou Xuan, Cheng Yin, Li Kan and others from making 'rebellion', I think it is necessary to kill them. What do you think?"
