"Let's go separately!" Seeing Ma Chao getting closer and closer, Han Sui turned to look at Cheng Yi and said, "Now that things have come to an end, let's go one by one and meet in Zhangye!"
This time the siege against Chu Nan failed, and the Han Dynasty couldn't stay any longer. In Han Sui's opinion, even the territories of other princes would be captured by Chu Nan sooner or later.
The only way to survive is to go to the Western Regions, or further afield, but the most important thing right now is to escape Ma Chao's pursuit.
"Okay!" Cheng Yi also knew that one of them could escape now, so there was no nonsense. At a fork in the road, he separated from Han Sui and ran in the other direction.
Seeing this, Ma Chao grinned from behind, and his horse suddenly accelerated, leaving afterimages in the air. He took out a throwing spear from the pouch on the horse's back, and without looking carefully, he threw it towards the sincerity vest.
When Cheng Yi saw Ma Chao chasing Han Sui, he felt slightly relieved. Suddenly he heard a scream tearing the air from behind him. He subconsciously glanced back, but what caught his eye was a streak of black light.
The lightning flew toward him.
The Wumang was too fast and there was no time to react. The Wumang was already in front of you.
"Pfft~"
Cheng Yi let out a scream, and the spear had already penetrated into his vest, and then sprang out from his chest. The huge inertia directly lifted him up from the horse, rolled him off the horse, and then made no sound again.
Over there, Han Sui hadn't gone far yet. When he saw this scene, he was frightened out of his wits. The nightmare-like sound of horse hooves behind him was approaching again. Han Sui felt a numbness in his scalp and subconsciously lowered his body.
"Old dog Han, why don't you just let him go and capture you!?" Ma Chao laughed heartily, his voice echoing throughout the countryside.
Rough man! Common man!
Han Sui never dreamed that one day he would be forced into such a desperate situation by Ma Chao. In his opinion, this junior who only knew how to show off his bravery did not have half of his father's scheming and skills, but he forced himself into a desperate situation!
He looked back at Ma Chao, with a ruthless look in his eyes, and a mighty aura surged around his body, ready to use his magical powers to escape. Although the cost was high, at the moment of life and death, he didn't care about that much.
Just when he was about to use his magical power, a cold light suddenly flashed from the corner of his eyes.
He subconsciously looked back and saw Yan Xing waving the long knife in his hand with an expressionless face, and the blade was already cutting forward.
"Pfft~"
The heads flew up, and Han Sui still had a look of astonishment and disbelief on his face, but he could not say a word. He never thought that the person who killed him in the end would be his most trusted son-in-law.
Not only Han Sui couldn't accept it, but Ma Chao, who was chasing after him, was also stunned at this moment, staring dumbfounded at Han Sui's men who came to a slow stop.
Han Sui's head had already rolled to his side. Han Sui's guards around him looked at the expressionless Yan Xing with some confusion. Not only were they at a loss, Ma Chao was also confused by Yan Xing's action and frowned at him.
Yan Xingdao: "You..."
"I have surrendered to the Prime Minister a long time ago, otherwise Meng Qi would have thought that with the help of the small town of Longsang, how could you, with only 2,000 people, be able to withstand the siege of more than 20,000 troops?" Yan Xing calmly came to Ma Chao and picked up Han Sui's handbag.
At the same time, he took out a copper token from his arms and showed it to Ma Chao.
As for when he defected to Chu Nan, it can be traced back to a few days ago.
He was awakened from his sleep by a man.
At that time, he suddenly noticed a movement and subconsciously stood up to draw his sword, only to see a sword already lying across his throat.
"General Yan, don't panic, I don't mean any harm!" As he said that, the person took back his sword, but Yan Xing did not dare to move rashly. The opponent's energy was always locked on him. This person appeared and disappeared, and came to him silently.
The people around me have explained everything.
"Who are you?" Yan Xing asked.
"Huang Xu, the secret guard commander of the Prime Minister's Mansion, has met General Yan!" Huang Xu briefly introduced himself.
Secret guard?
Never heard of it.
"How are you doing?" Yan Xing frowned.
"On the order of the Prime Minister, I came here to recruit the general!" Huang Xu said calmly.
"We have surrendered to the imperial court." Yan Xing moved his position calmly, but when he saw that the sword in Huang Xu's hand was already half an inch out of its sheath, he felt a shiver in his heart.
What a strong killing intent!
Even though he had experienced hundreds of battles and traveled across the battlefield, the moment Huang Xu drew his sword, he still felt the breath of death approaching.
He had a feeling that if he took action forcefully, he would die!
"Although Han Sui surrendered in name, the military power was still in his hands, and he was repeatedly hampered by the governor's office of protecting the Qiang. The prime minister was very unhappy. This time, he came with the intention of getting rid of Han Sui. Is the general sure that he will be the enemy of the prime minister?"
Huang Xu stood high and looked down at Yan Xing.
Whether you really join or not, everyone knows in their hearts that this is not an officialdom and no one will accompany you to play tricks.
"My father-in-law treats me well..." Yan Xing looked at Huang Xu and said.
"If you insist on being an enemy of the Prime Minister, the general thinks that Han Sui holds the military power of Xiliang and can block the Prime Minister's army of hundreds of battles?" Huang Xu said indifferently: "The Prime Minister cherishes the general's talent and does not want the general to be buried with Han Sui.
, so the general was sent to persuade you to surrender, but if the general refuses, he will not kill you. The general can also inform Han Sui of the matter, but when Han Sui is destroyed, the general will be his pawn, and the whole family will be afraid.
Hard to survive!"
The extermination of people in Chu Nan is nothing new. No matter how glorious the great families in the Central Plains were in the past, they are now nothing but a handful of loess. Yan Xing does not doubt the authenticity of what the other party said.
When Chu Nan came to Xiliang, the most important thing was people's livelihood. As for Han Sui, it would be best if he could be destroyed easily. If not, then he would send elite troops to come. With Ma Chao, a local snake, it would not be difficult to destroy Han Sui.
But now that Han Sui took the initiative to plot against Chu Nan, he couldn't bear it, so Chu Nan secretly summoned Huang Xu in front of Suoxi City.
Although Han Sui had many men under his command, in Chu Nan's opinion, most of them were mediocre. Only Yan Xing could barely qualify as a first-class general. Chu Nan wanted to give him a chance.
Of course, if Yan Xing insists on following Han Sui all the way to the dark side, Chu Nan will respect him, but he will not stay in the Yan family.
Huang Xu continued: "If the general is willing, after Han Sui's fall, the general can serve as a lieutenant under the Prime Minister. If he can make meritorious deeds in the future, he will be promoted."
The official position of the school captain is not high, and the freedom is far less than that of Xiliang, but the premise is that Han Sui's power can always exist.
Yan Xing was silent after hearing this, and after a while he said, "What will the general do?"
Xiliang was originally a barren land, and Yan Xing lived here. Han Sui tied him up with his daughter and was unwilling to delegate power. However, if there was a better opportunity, he would naturally be willing to take a step out.
There wasn't much in Xiliang that he was fond of. In contrast, he longed for the prosperity of the Central Plains.
The official position of a school lieutenant is not high, and is similar to his current official position, but the difference is that as a subordinate of the Jincheng Prefect, this position may be his limit, and if he can go to Chu Nan's command, the upper limit will be higher in the future.
This is also the largest political capital in Chu Nan's hands now, and it is naturally attractive to talents, unless they have extremely high personal pursuits and do not care about official career.
But Yan Xing is obviously a common man. Between his father-in-law and his future, he decisively chose his future.
"Could the general kill Han Sui at this time?" Huang Xu asked. If he could kill Han Sui directly, it would save a lot of trouble.
"My father-in-law is wary by nature and has strange magical powers. If the general rebels at this time, he may cause losses, but it is difficult to kill him!" Yan Xing shook his head. Although Han Sui regarded him as a confidant, he was suspicious by nature.
Don't worry, and with his strange magical powers, Yan Xing wants to kill Han Sui. It's not impossible, but he must have enough opportunities.
"What magical powers does he have?" Huang Xu frowned.
"Substitute!" Yan Xing said in a deep voice: "You can create a clone with your own essence and blood, and he will instantly appear anywhere within a radius of ten miles. There is no control here, and you don't even know where he will appear.
I know that in addition, you can also use the method of sacrificing essence and blood to combine with the aura of awe-inspiring. You can exchange places with others instantly. This person needs to be planted with essence and blood by him in advance. As for whether there are other conditions, I don't know."
As Han Sui's son-in-law, no matter how deep Han Sui hides, there are some things he cannot hide, so it is not easy to kill Han Sui.
"The Prime Minister will go to Longsang City, where Han Sui should have decided to ambush the Prime Minister. The general is General Han Sui. You should know what to do. When the time comes, the Prime Minister will create a suitable opportunity for you to take action." Huang Xu said.
"Then if there is a conflict with the Prime Minister's generals, how should I prove myself?" Yan Xing said solemnly.
"Just show this token. Of course, the general can also try to see if it is effective to deceive our army." Huang Xu handed a copper token to Yan Xing.
Then, under Yan Xing's horrified gaze, his figure turned into a streak of black energy and melted into the night.
Back in time, Ma Chao looked at the token in Yan Xing's hand. He naturally recognized this thing. Chu Nan said that if anyone shows this token and does not do anything detrimental to our army, he will be considered one of his own.
Thinking about Han Sui's previous attack on the city, no matter how powerful Chu Nan was, he still couldn't completely defeat the 20,000 Xiliang army. He even defended it easily. He frowned and looked at Yan Xing and said, "We just attacked the city. What did you do?"
Arrived?"
"When attacking a city, you need to keep secrets. Even if you attack the city with all your strength, it will be difficult to achieve success. In addition, if you use a special method to tell the prime minister how to attack the city, it will naturally not be difficult to defend it." Yan Xing said calmly.
Can you still play like this?
Ma Chao was a little speechless. At this moment, he also realized that he had been deceived. Chu Nan was indeed good at using troops, but Fengzi secretly defended the city. The protection was not high, but he could still defend it. This was thanks to the fact that the opponent's coach was one of his own.
Na.
Of course, it cannot be said that Chu Nan is not strong. After all, even if Yan Xing used a defensive formation, the siege soldiers were not secretly instigated to rebel. They were actually attacking. However, with Yan Xing as the leader, Chu Nan could respond in time.
.
Ma Chao came to the conclusion that Chu Nan was not bad at using troops. He was even a little better than himself in defending the city, but his strength was limited!
After thinking about this, his mood instantly improved a lot. He looked at Yan Xing and said, "Let's go, follow me to see the prime minister."
