Great Han Empire

Chapter 792
The Fengshui River in spring is beautiful and gentle, the clear water sings along the way, carefree, and the flowers of various colors on the river bank are particularly enchanting against the backdrop of the green grass.

Ma Chao leaned against a big tree, silently watching the river, letting the gentle breeze caress his cheeks.

Should I betray Mr.Am I doing this right or wrong?
Pound's words woke him up.Without strength, he would not be able to take revenge even to the point of death.Whether it is Han Sui or Beijiang, they first consider their own interests. No one will harm their own interests to help others. They can only give themselves a little sympathy and mercy.It is ridiculous that I am so naive, I believe that Han Sui and a group of old friends of my father will help me avenge my hatred.

I want strength, and I want the strength to revenge.

Mr. did nothing wrong. If he were himself, he would not help others to take revenge, let alone take his own life to do something meaningless.Mr. is right, but I am wrong.I am ignorant, stupid, reckless, and irritable. If I continue like this, I have not avenged myself and my life has been lost.

Pound left Chang'an after sending himself to the barracks.I didn't send him off. Although I was very grateful to Pound, Pound's real purpose was not for himself, but for Beijiang and Han Sui.Pound's actions told himself that in this world, there is no friendship at all, and any brotherhood, life and death, and double-handedness are all fake.Without strength, you are just a dog who is abused and manipulated arbitrarily.Who wants to befriend a dog?Who would tie their fate to a dog?It's different when you're a wolf, though.

I want to be a wolf, a ruthless and cruel wolf.

A group of cavalry galloped along the river embankment, instantly shattering the tranquility of the river.

Wang Rong, Jiang Feng, and Yang Feifei got off their horses and hurried up to meet Ma Chao.

"Are you all ready?"

Wang Rong nodded, "It is my younger brother who is stationed in Huaili City now. He has already promised that he will open the city gate and let us set fire to the food and grass, and then return to Longxi with us."

Ma Chao looked at him coldly, "You are the son of the kingdom, you have a great career in Longxi, if we fail, what will it mean to you, do you know?"

"We will not fail." Wang Rong smiled confidently, "In Longxi, our Wang family and your Ma family rule. Even if we cannot defend Longxi, we can still retreat to the Qiang land, borrow troops from the Qiang people, and make a comeback. "

"Has Ma Dai left already?" Jiang Feng asked.

"He has been rushing back to Longxi day and night to borrow troops from my grandma's tribe." Ma Chao approached the three of them and said in a low voice, "Baima Qiang Qu Commander Hong Ri and Han Sui are deadly enemies. With his help, even if Han Sui If he is not dead, he will never want to dominate Xijiang and do whatever he wants."

"Meng Qi, although Han Sui has been in Western Xinjiang for more than ten years, he is already old, and it is our turn now." Jiang Feng waved the horsewhip in his hand, full of arrogance, "If we can successfully kill Han Sui this time So, how many people in Chang'an can escape back to Xijiang? Xijiang will soon be our world."

Ma Chao took a deep breath, and his whole body was filled with murderous aura.

"Kill Han Sui, let's go back to Western Xinjiang."

Han Sui looked at Ma Chao who was sitting opposite, and was very relieved.

After Ma Chao left the prison tent, he seemed to be a different person.He combed his long hair, trimmed his beard, and kept quiet. Except for the melancholy and painful eyes, Ma Chao now is the same as before, full of high fighting spirit.

Han Sui was very happy.Ma Chao, the rebellious tiger, was still tamed by himself. He regained his sanity and got rid of the huge hatred.This is a good sign.

This evening, Han Sui invited Ma Chao here, wanting to have a casual chat with him, and by the way, tell Ma Chao his thoughts on the Guanzhong War, and ask him not to worry, this revenge will be avenged sooner or later.Ma Chao is now sober and should be able to listen.

However, when Ma Chao walked into Han Sui's tent and saluted him respectfully, he suddenly drew out his saber and slashed out with a thunderous force, "Go to hell..."

Han Sui was taken aback, and instinctively fell to the ground on his back, kicking the table in front of him out.

As soon as the saber was let out, the case was chopped off in an instant.Ma Chao hurried forward, stepped on Han Sui's calf, and the saber roared down again.

Han Sui was dumbfounded, watching helplessly as the saber sliced ​​towards his chest.

Yan Xing rushed in, wanting to burst, "Ma Chao, you bastard..." He was still more than [-] steps away from Ma Chao, and there was no time to rescue him, so he could only raise the crossbow as fast as possible and shoot out the arrows.

The crossbow bolt roared away, heading straight for Ma Chao's back.

Ma Chao's knife can cut Han Sui to death, but he himself will also be killed by an arrow.Ma Chao chose to fly forward, and at the moment he narrowly dodged the crossbow arrow, he jumped up and slashed at Han Sui with his saber for the third time.

Taking advantage of this short moment, Han Sui drew out the long sword at his waist.Yan Xing also rushed over.The guards outside the tent also rushed in.

Swords collided and sparks flew everywhere.

"Kill..." Ma Chao cut off Han Sui's long sword with a decisive blow, cutting into Han Sui's waist and abdomen, and blood spurted out.

"Kill..." Yan Xing suddenly burst into anger when he heard Han Sui's scream, and with a roar that shook the sky, his vigorous body rose into the air, and the human sword merged into one, volleying towards Ma Chao who raised the sword for the fourth time. past.

With a thunderous roar, Ma Chao's saber remained unchanged, his left hand formed a fist, and he slammed it fiercely at Yan Xing, "Get lost..."

Enduring the great pain, Han Sui rolled and crawled, moving his body vigorously.

Yan Xing's sword slashed at nothing, and Ma Chao's fist hit his chest.Yan Xing let out a miserable cry, opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood, and his body that was flying in the air immediately flew upside down.

All Ma Chao's strength was focused on this amazing punch, and the sword failed to cut off Han Sui's head, but chopped off Han Sui's shoulder blade.

When Ma Chao was about to raise his sword for the fifth time, the guards rushed over with their spears in hand.

"Kill..." Ma Chao roared wildly, with his sword flying like flying, and with both fists and feet, he killed 11 people in one go. When he rushed outside the tent, he looked back.

In the big tent, dead bodies were scattered all over the place, and the blood was soaring, and there was no longer a standing person to be seen.

Wang Rong, Jiang Feng, and Yang Fei led their cavalry into the gate.

Ma Chao and a group of personal guards took advantage of the chaos to break out of the siege, gathered the main cavalry, and rushed towards Huaili City.

Han Sui couldn't afford to be seriously injured, the food and grass accumulated in Huaili City were burned, and the situation of the Western Frontier Army suddenly became extremely dangerous.

Yang Qiu, Cheng Yi and others immediately prepared to evacuate Chang'an.

"No way. At this time, retreating in a panic, Yuan Shao will definitely pursue after him, and the army may be completely defeated." Han Sui was dying, and tried his best to stop it.

"Sir, the army has no food and grass, how can we support it?" Yang Qiu asked anxiously in panic.

"How much food and grass are there in the Feng and Hao camps?"

"If you save it, it can last for ten days."

"Then let the infantry army retreat first." Han Sui endured the pain and said in a trembling voice, "Remember, don't retreat during the day, only retreat at night. Order the cavalry army to move around and kill the enemy scouts as much as possible to avoid leaks."

"Sir, when will the cavalry leave?"

"Urgently appeal to General Pang De of An Ding and General Yang Feng of Hedong to send troops to Guanzhong as a countermeasure." Han Sui said in agony, "After the infantry army retreated to Chencang, the cavalry army began to withdraw."

The Western Xinjiang army attacked Guanzhong many times and was defeated many times, and the retreat was often full of dangers.At this moment, Han Sui's words were like an imperial decree to Yang Qiu and others, no one doubted or disobeyed them.

=

"Sir, will the Northern Xinjiang Army help?"

"The Northern Army will definitely help." Han Sui smiled wryly, "If we all retreat to the Western Border, Yuan Shao's soldiers will occupy the entire Guanzhong without bloodshed. This is not a good thing for Hebei."

"Mister still wants to occupy Fufeng County?" Yang Qiu asked in surprise, "Ma Chao has already returned to the western border, and the western border is about to be in chaos. How can we still occupy Fufeng County at this time?"

"Ma Chao is still a child, and he has no strength, so there is nothing to worry about. No one in Xijiang will follow him, and there will be no chaos in Xijiang." Han Sui waved his hand lightly, "It is not easy for us to send a large army to attack Guanzhong this time, and we cannot just do nothing like this , and went back in despair. We withdrew to Qishan, defended the front line of Wugong and Meicheng, and then negotiated peace with Yuan Shao, forcing him to give up Fufeng County to us."

"In the past, when Ma Teng was in Fufeng County, we could still get some help. Now that Ma Teng is gone, and Fufeng County is gone, Xijiang will suffer even more. Hebei is too far away from us, and that little relief will be of great help to Xijiang. Said, a drop in the bucket is useless. If Yuan Shao blocks the western borders, we will not be able to buy some food from Hanzhong." Han Sui looked at the crowd and said solemnly, "Fufeng County is very important to us, we must not lose it."

"Negotiate peace with Yuan Shao?" Yang Qiu and the others opened their eyes wide in disbelief.Now that the army is at the end of its rope, will Yuan Shao negotiate peace with Xijiang?

"Sir, do we have no food?" Mawan reminded, "After we asked the two generals Pang De and Yang Feng to send troops to support, Hebei immediately knew that we had started to evacuate, and they would no longer supply food and grass."

A faint smile flashed across Han Sui's bloodless face, "We still have food and grass."

Facing the surprised eyes of the generals, Han Sui said slowly: "If Xijiang can occupy Guanzhong this time, the situation in the world will definitely change, especially for Hebei, so Hebei does not want us to occupy Guanzhong. Although Hebei promised to give us Supply food and grass, but once we really defeat Yuan Shao, the supply of food and grass will probably be cut off."

"The army has no food and grass, and the battle in Guanzhong will turn around soon. I have to be on guard. So I sent the commander Shi Lingru to Hanzhong as early as the beginning of the year to buy food from Zhang Lu." Han Sui forced a smile, " The general is really nice. He knew that transporting grain from northern Xinjiang to western Xinjiang would consume too much money, so he allocated as much gold, silk and silk as possible to me so that I could go to Hanzhong, Bashu and other places to buy food for emergencies. Although there is a shortage of food in Xijiang, there is still money in the warehouse, which is enough for us to survive this crisis."

Yang Qiu and the others were overjoyed, and their nervous mood was immediately relieved.

"Sir, so we still have grain and grass in the area of ​​Dashanguan and Chencang?"

Han Sui nodded, "The top priority now is to withdraw the troops steadily, without giving Yuan Shao any opportunity."

"When Pang De from An Ding and Yang Feng from Hedong both sent troops, Yuan Shao didn't dare to pursue them. At that time, our army was still in the Qishan area, and Fufeng County was almost in our hands. We could still threaten Chang'an all the time. And it is impossible for Yuan Shao to keep his main force in Guanzhong, so he has only one way to solve the current crisis."

"Negotiate peace with us." Yang Qiu waved excitedly and said, "Mister really has no plans left."

=

"Sir, if we negotiate peace with Yuan Shao, the general..." Ma Wan frowned deeply, slightly worried.

"The general will understand." Han Sui closed his eyes and let out a long sigh, "After Ma Chao's betrayal, he had no choice but to flee to Longxi and ask for help from Hongri from Baima Qiang and Iron Head from Shenlang Qiang. Xijiang Although it is not chaotic, it seems that the battle in Longxi will definitely be fought. Once Longxi is fought, the Shaodang Qiang and Xianbei people in Wuwei will take the opportunity to go south. The Hu people are attacking from the north and the south. what."

"But we can't lose Xijiang, and we can't give up the territory of the great Han to the barbarians. Xijiang is our home and our root. Every drop of our blood must be shed on the land of Xijiang, for the sake of Xijiang. Fight for Xinjiang, die for Western Xinjiang."

"There is no shortage of tough warriors in Xijiang, what is lacking is money, food and weapons."

"Since Hebei can't meet our needs, it can't stop us from negotiating peace with Yuan Shao." Han Sui opened his eyes and looked at the generals around him, "Do you think I'm shameless?"

Yang Qiu and the others looked sad, not knowing how to comfort Han Sui.For a person like Han Sui, doing such a thing would indeed damage his reputation, and it would be a lifetime of shame, but...

Sitting on the side, Yan Xing with a sluggish complexion couldn't help but shed tears.

"Sir, if Hebei allows us to threaten Guanzhong in the future, what shall we do?" Yang Qiu asked, "Without the restraint of the Northern Border Army, we cannot defend Fufeng County."

"I have occupied Fufeng County, have reached Guanzhong, threatened Chang'an, and restrained Yuan Shao's forces." Han Sui smiled bitterly, "As for whether I will fight Yuan Shao or not, that is another matter. If I don't fight Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shao maintains a tacit understanding, which does not affect my promise to the general."

"Yuan Shao will trust Mr.?"

"Yuan Shao has to trust me. What choice does he have now?"

Indeed, in order to dominate the Central Plains, Yuan Shao needed the stability of Guanzhong and needed to deploy troops to the Central Plains battlefield.He has to believe it if he doesn't believe it.

"If Yuan Shao occupies the Central Plains, we..."

"We have lost the opportunity to occupy Guanzhong, and Hebei is equivalent to regaining control of the world situation. Yuan Shao will never be able to occupy the Central Plains." Han Sui looked up to the sky and sighed, "It won't be long before the general's iron cavalry will be exhausted. And down, across the Central Plains."
