The fierce north wind was howling, and several vultures were circling in the sky. They were waiting for the army below to start fighting, and then have a good meal.
On the battlefield, the three banners of Cao, Ma, and Han faced each other. Even the elite of Cao's army trembled when they stood in the snowy sky and earth.
It's not cold when it snows, it's cold after it snows. Cao Cao sniffed and rode forward. Xu Chu followed closely.
"General Han, please come out and answer!"
Han Sui and Ma Chao across from each other looked at each other. Ma Chao and Han Sui blinked, "Uncle, why don't you go and see what Cao Cao's conspiracy is?"
"Okay, Meng Qi will be later." Han Sui nodded and rode forward, and Yan Xing quickly followed.
When Han Sui and Yan Xing came over, Cao Cao burst out laughing, "General, how expensive is Geng this year?"
Han Sui was a little confused, but he still replied, "Sixty-five years old." (Han Sui's forty-year-old in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms should be wrong. "The Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms, Book of Wei, and Records of Emperor Wu" record that Han Sui died in 215.
Seventy years old, so this should be sixty-five years old.)
Cao Cao sighed with emotion, "I remember that in those days, your father and I both promoted filial piety and honesty, but I didn't expect that we would be here today. General, do you have any children?"
"One son and one daughter."
Han Sui's words moved Yan Xing beside him. Han Sui had no son, only one daughter, but he always regarded himself as his son to others.
Cao Cao seemed to be very happy and laughed again and said, "Haha, what a blessing! Is the person next to the general Yan Xing?"
"Yan Ming (characterized by Yan Xing), I haven't met Prime Minister Cao yet."
Hearing Han Sui's call, Yan Xingda immediately took a step forward, grabbed the spear and raised his hand to Cao Cao, saying, "I have seen Prime Minister Cao."
Cao Cao suddenly raised his hand, pointed at Ma Chao in the distance and shouted, "You are so powerful. I heard that you almost killed Ma Chao?"
"Huh?" Cao Cao shouted loudly and pointed at Ma Chao. Han Sui was so frightened that he looked back, fearing that Ma Chao might hear him.
Yan Xing was even more confused, "The Prime Minister has given me the reward."
"Hahaha, okay, okay!"
"How is General Han?"
"Alright."
"Yes, you are already sixty-five, and you can still lead troops to fight. The general is as good as Lianpo. Are you still used to being in Xiliang?"
"Habit."
"Would you like to send some beauties and craftsmen from the Central Plains over here? The general has also reached the end of his life."
"That's not necessary. Thank you, Prime Minister."
…
For half an hour, Cao Cao asked Han Sui for answers, and chatted with Yan Xing from time to time.
"Retreat!" Cao Cao ordered the retreat after returning to the formation.
The vultures in the sky were disappointed, they could not enjoy the feast.
When Han Sui and Yan Xing returned to the formation, Ma Chao couldn't wait to ask, "Uncle, what did you say to Cao Cao?"
"It's nothing, I just chatted about some trivial matters between the family." Han Sui answered casually, and he was also thinking about Cao Cao's purpose of doing this.
But Ma Chao's brows were already deeply furrowed!
Cao Cao, who returned to the city, sat in front of the desk and laughed loudly, "Han Sui, this idiot, still thinks that Gu Zhen is reminiscing with him to win over him? Hahaha, I almost made Gu laugh to death!"
Jia Xu cupped his hands and said, "Prime Minister, the two generals Cao Chun and Xia Houyuan have led 20,000 tiger and leopard cavalry across the Weihe Plain and reached the rear of Ma Chao and Han Sui."
"Okay! I'll write a letter to Han Sui again to keep the fire burning."
After Cao Cao finished writing the letter, he handed it to Jia Xu to read, "Wen He, can you take a look at it?"
Jia Xu stepped forward and picked up the writing brush on the desk, made some corrections, and said, "I have done some processing. Prime Minister, please take a look."
Cao Cao took it and took a look, "Hahaha, wonderful, now Han Sui and Ma Chao don't want to fight to the death?"
In Han Sui's tent, Yan Xing took the letter and read it for a long time, "Father, did Cao Cao send the draft?"
Han Sui said with a dull face, "That shouldn't be the case. Cao Cao is the Prime Minister, so even if he writes a draft, there should be someone to check it for him. Besides, he can't even have a small official with a sword and pen under him, right?
"
"Uncle! Did you hear a letter from Cao Cao?" Just as he was talking, Ma Chao opened the door curtain and walked in.
"Here's the letter." Yan Xing handed the letter to Ma Chao, who was approaching.
Ma Chao looked at it and said, "Why is there so much smear on it?"
"I don't know either. This is how the letter was delivered."
Ma Chao stared at Han Sui and Yan Xing suspiciously, "What did you say yesterday?"
Han Sui's expression changed, "Meng Qi, don't get me wrong..."
"Humph!" Ma Chao didn't even wait for Han Sui to finish what he said, and left the camp without looking back.
"Father, Ma Chao is too arrogant!" Yan Xing stared fiercely at the direction Ma Chao left and said.
Han Sui sighed and said, "I understand now that this is Cao Cao's divorce plan."
Yan Xing's eyes flashed coldly, "Father, how about we strike first?"
"Report! General, Cao Cao's army is near Jincheng. The defenders of Jincheng are asking the general to return for reinforcements!"
Han Sui smiled bitterly and said, "Stay still, talk to your father and Ma Chao, and then let's reorganize our troops and leave. Let Ma Chao and Cao Cao fight here."
"well!"
Ma Chao was not in the camp, but was sparring with Pang De on the school field.
"General, please see General Han Sui."
Ma Chao said a little suspiciously, "He just received Cao Cao's letter and is coming to see me now?"
Ma Dai beside him sneered, "Brother, Pang De and I led Xiaoqi to surround him. If something goes wrong, we'll kill him!"
Ma Chao shook his head and said, "It's broad daylight and it's still on the school grounds. It doesn't look good. The three of us will go over and deal with them and their son."
"Meng Qi, I just received news that Cao Cao has sent troops to harass our rear. Cao Cao's troops have already appeared near Jincheng. I'm going to retreat." Seeing Ma Chao approaching, Han Sui tried his best to look more candid and spoke to him.
said.
Ma Chao frowned and said, "There are enemy troops near Jincheng? Shouldn't uncle be worried? Why do you look like this? Besides, if Cao Cao wants to cross our defense line, he has to go to the territory of the Qiang people. With me here, which tribe dares to let go?"
Cao Jun is coming?"
Han Sui said sternly, "Meng Qi, if the Qiang people have milk, they are mothers. How can we trust their promises easily? If there is any loss in the rear, then we will die without a burial place!"
Ma Chao stared at Han Sui without saying a word for a long time. Han Sui, who was being stared at by Ma Chao, avoided his sight and said, "Meng Qi, no matter what, I'm going to retreat. I don't care what your plans are."
After saying that, Han Sui turned around and left.
"stop!"
Looking back, Ma Chao pointed at Han Sui and said, "Are you going back? Or are you going to join Cao Cao? Even if you go back, can I feel at ease with your tens of thousands of troops behind me?"
Han Sui also turned cold now, "Then what do you mean?"
Ma Chao said firmly, "You are not allowed to leave!"
"Unreasonable!" Han Sui spat out four words and ignored Ma Chao, then raised his feet and started to leave.
"Pang De! Ma Dai! Kill Han Sui for me!"
"Father, be careful!"
"bite!"
"Boom!"
Yan Xing, with his quick eyes and quick hands, kicked Han Sui down and blocked Pang De and Ma Dai's knives with his gun!
"Protect father!"
The generals beside Han Sui quickly helped him up.
"kill!"
Ma Chao gave the order, and the generals around him rushed forward!
