The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 433 432 Liangzhou Rebellion (19)

At this moment, all the government offices in Jicheng were still in a sound sleep. Last night Han Sui hosted a banquet for the emperor's envoy Dong Zhao in the mansion, and the two drank happily and got drunk.

After Ma Chao and Pound surrounded the entire government office with a thousand elite soldiers, they directly led the troops to break into the government office. The servant, after asking where Han Sui was, went straight to Han Sui's room.

"boom!"

There was a loud noise, and Ma Chao kicked the door open with one kick. Han Sui was sleeping soundly on the bed, when he was suddenly awakened by the loud noise. As soon as he opened his eyes, he suddenly saw Ma Chao holding a long sword dripping with blood. Walking to the head of his bed, he suddenly got a jolt, and felt an unprecedented chill all over his body.

"Han Sui is a thief! Today next year will be the day of your death!" Ma Chao shouted, raised his long sword and slashed at Han Sui.

Han Sui screamed and quickly rolled over from the bed, but he didn't dodge Ma Chao's long sword. Suddenly, he felt a heart-piercing pain from his shoulder, and his whole arm was in contact with his body. The body broke away and fell directly on the bed, while blood gushed out from his broken left arm.

Ma Chao failed to kill Han Sui with his sword, but cut off an arm instead. Seeing that Han Sui was about to escape, he jumped over with one stride, made a stab at Han Sui, and pierced Han Sui with the same sword. In his heart, Han Sui let out a scream and died. Until the time of his death, he still couldn't figure out how Ma Chao came to his room.

With a "plop", Han Sui's body fell directly into a pool of blood. Looking at Han Sui's body, Ma Chao released all the anger that had been hidden in his heart for many years at once.

Ever since he was sensible, Han Sui, an old man, had been harming Liangzhou, and even Ma Teng was always afraid of him. Today, he finally died under his sword, and he suddenly felt a sense of relief.

Ma Chao breathed a sigh of relief, and he relaxed a lot, but after a while, new problems and troubles came one after another, and he remembered that he was still in Jicheng, which was the heartland of Han Sui's forces. The troops he led alone were not enough to fight against Han Sui's entire army.

So Ma Chao beheaded Han Sui and prepared to withdraw from Jicheng immediately.

At this moment, Pang De came over from the outside, threw Han Cheng in a coma, and brought in a man dressed as a servant.Pang De glanced at the head of Han Sui in Ma Chao's hand, and said to Ma Chao: "My lord, Han Cheng is not a good bird. I just learned that Han Cheng is using us to kill people with a knife."

"Borrowing a knife to kill someone?" Ma Chao asked suspiciously.

Pound nodded, pushed the man dressed as a servant over, and said to the servant: "Tell the master what is going on!"

"Here!"

The person dressed as a servant is Ma Chao's secret agent in Jicheng. He has always used his identity as a servant to scout for news. Han Sui wanted to attack Ma Teng and Ma Chao several times because he had learned the news in advance. This is why Ma Teng and Ma Chao were prepared early, and Han Sui was unable to make a move. It can be said that it is indispensable.

The servant opened his mouth and explained Han Cheng's plot concisely to Ma Chao. With a few simple words, he revealed the plot that Han Cheng had been plotting for a long time.

It turned out that Han Cheng was not Han Sui's biological son, but Han Sui's nephew.Han Cheng's mother was originally Han Sui's sister-in-law, and Han Sui had always coveted her beauty and wanted to occupy her.Later, Han Sui took advantage of his elder brother's absence, the overlord bowed hard, and directly hugged his sister-in-law to bed, but he didn't want his elder brother to forget to take something, just came back and ran into Han Sui's ugly behavior, after a violent beating, he drove Han Sui out of the house Home.

Han Sui held a grudge, so he murdered his elder brother with treachery, and then took over his sister-in-law.However, Han Sui didn't know that Han Cheng was the posthumous son of Han Sui's eldest brother. When Han Sui occupied his sister-in-law, his sister-in-law was already pregnant, and later gave birth to Han Cheng.

Later, Han Sui got married and had many women, but because Han Cheng's mother always put a kind of medicine in Han Sui's food, Han Sui was still unable to have children, so Han Cheng became Han Sui's only son.Although there was an exception later, Han Sui got one of his concubines pregnant, but luckily the daughter was born, so Han Cheng's status would not be lost.

Afterwards, Han Sui was always busy with intrigues, no longer lusting after women, and his excessive indulgence in his early years led to his poor health, so Han Sui never had any more women, and rarely had sex with men and women.

After that, Han Cheng's mother raised Han Cheng until he was ten years old, and felt that Han Cheng was sensible, so she told Han Cheng the truth of the matter, and made Han Cheng firmly remember that Han Sui was his father-killing enemy, and let Han Cheng So he secretly accumulated strength to avenge his father.

Han Cheng kept it firmly in his heart, and followed his mother's teachings, always remembering this matter.Five years later, his mother passed away, and when he was dying, he specifically asked Han Cheng to avenge his father.

Afterwards, Han Chenghua's grief turned into strength, and he always recognized the thief as his father. He began to follow his father to fight in all directions, and tried his best to win over the people in the army. After several years of careful planning, he finally achieved success. All the generals chose to side with Han Cheng for various reasons, and conspired to overthrow Han Sui.

The tragic death of Han Cheng's wife happened to be a trigger. Based on this incident, Han Cheng formally launched a plan to revenge Han Sui.

However, Han Cheng didn't dare to act rashly. After some thinking, he decided to use Ma Chao's power to kill Han Sui, and then he would unite with the four generals Yang Qiu, Cheng Yi, Liang Xing, and Zhang Heng to eliminate Ma Chao in order to achieve For the purpose of revenge for Han Sui, so as to quickly obtain everything that inherits Han Sui.

After Ma Chao heard these words, he couldn't help frowning, and said slowly: "What a trick to kill with a knife, what a mantis to catch cicadas and orioles behind, I almost fell into Han Cheng's way. If the upper beam is not right, the lower beam Crooked, it’s true. Han Sui is treacherous, and Han Cheng is even more treacherous than Han Sui. If I didn’t find out about Han Cheng’s abnormality, I would never doubt him. Then Han Cheng can kill two birds with one stone. Get rid of me again... Humph! It's a pity, God bless me, Ma Chao, and prevent Han Cheng's treacherous plan from succeeding!"

Pang De said: "My lord, for a person like Han Cheng, it's better to kill him directly, and it's over once and for all."

"It's easy to kill him, but I'm afraid killing him won't do us any good. If I'm not mistaken, the four generals Yang Qiu, Cheng Yi, Liang Xing, and Zhang Heng should be leading troops to Jicheng now." On the way. If we don't leave here as soon as possible, we may never be able to leave here again." Ma Chao said.

"My lord, you mean to use Han Cheng as a shield to prevent Yang Qiu, Cheng Yi, Liang Xing, and Zhang Heng from attacking us?" Pang De asked.

"Yes." Ma Chao said.

Pang De said: "But my lord, have you ever thought that Yang Qiu, Cheng Yi, Liang Xing, and Zhang Heng are all Han Sui's subordinates, and Han Sui treated them well. Why did they follow Han Cheng to oppose Han Sui?" ?”

Ma Chao couldn't figure it out for a while, and asked, "Why do you think they turned against Han Sui?"

"Han Sui is treacherous. None of his generals are good. Although most of them are warriors, there are also people like Yang Qiu who are both wise and brave. This time Yang Qiu is also involved, which shows that things are not that simple. The general thinks that Yang Qiu and the others have the same purpose as Han Cheng, just to use Han Cheng, and then kill Han Cheng after the use is over, and then Yang Qiu and the others will dominate each other?" Pang De analyzed.

Ma Chao said: "Well, what you said is not unreasonable. Yang Qiu and the others each have their own powerful soldiers. If it weren't for Han Sui's treacherous methods, which made it hard to guard against, these people would have already dominated each other."

"My lord, no matter what their purpose is, Jicheng has become a dangerous city. It is not suitable to stay for a long time. Let's leave here as soon as possible. Now that Han Sui is dead, if Han Cheng is killed again, the generals under Han Sui , the group will be leaderless. Among them, there will definitely be many people coveting Han Sui's position, and there will inevitably be a big turmoil at that time, we just need to wait and see what happens." Pang De suggested.

Ma Chao thought for a while, and finally heeded Pang De's opinion, and ordered Han Cheng to be executed, and the heads of Han Sui and Han Cheng's father and son were carried to hang on the gate of Jicheng.After that, Ma Chao ordered the soldiers to raid the treasury in Jicheng, taking away everything that could be taken away from the treasury, and burning everything that could not be taken away.

For a while, Jicheng was in turmoil. Ma Chao and Pound had seized the four gates and could retreat at any time.

Finally, a group of people gathered at the north gate. Ma Chao and Pound set up their troops and left Jicheng without losing a single person.

The city was on fire, and the government office, treasury, arsenal, and granary were all on fire. The soldiers in the barracks came to fight the fire one after another. Dong Zhao, who was in the government office, also woke up from his sleep and escaped before the fire spread. After entering the government office, he heard that Han Sui and Han Cheng had been killed. He was taken aback and escaped from Jicheng overnight. He rode a fast horse and headed all the way to Yongzhou.

At dawn, after a night of fighting by the soldiers and civilians in the city, the fire was finally brought under control, but the government offices, treasuries, arsenals, and granaries were basically reduced to ashes, especially the government offices, which were burned to nothing but an empty shell. .

And the news that Han Sui and Han Cheng were killed spread quickly in the city, and the soldiers and people in the city were panicked.

At noon, Yang Qiu, Liang Xing, Cheng Yi, Zhang Heng and others led their armies to Jicheng, but the result was beyond their expectation. They saw the heads of Han Sui and Han Cheng hanging on the city gate, and Black smoke billowed from time to time in the city.

After the four of them entered the city, only then did they know that Jicheng was raided by an unknown force last night, and Han Sui and Han Cheng were beheaded.

At this moment, the eyes of Yang Qiu, Liang Xing, Cheng Yi, Zhang Heng and the others all brightened. They were arguing over who would inherit Han Sui's position and take charge of the power of Liangzhou...
