Lu Xuan sighed: "I am not very patient. Since they are not willing to surrender, I can only kill them all."
Ma Teng looked serious and took the lead: "Lu Xuan, if you kill me, my son Ma Chao will definitely avenge me. Do you really think that killing me will affect the King of Qin and Xiliang? Dream on
.”
Han Sui frowned slightly and did not continue to express his position.
He also obeys Cao Cao's orders, but unlike Ma Teng, he has a son who is married to the Xiahou family, which means that the Ma family and the Cao family are closely connected. His relationship with Cao Cao is not very close.
He can betray at any time.
From beginning to end, Han Sui had no real intention to serve Cao Cao.
Lu Xuan glanced at Han Sui and said again: "Han Sui, are you determined not to surrender?"
"I surrender!"
Han Sui immediately changed his words and said proactively: "Han Sui is willing to serve the King of Wu and obey the King of Wu's orders."
Ma Teng suddenly became angry and shouted: "Han Sui, how can you surrender? If you surrender now, what will happen to your son in Luoyang? Your power in Xiliang will also be purged."
Han Sui's eyes were cold and he said bluntly: "I don't need your guidance on what I do or what I don't do, let alone your irresponsible remarks."
He looked at Lu Xuan and said again: "The sinner is willing to serve the King of Wu."
Ma Teng said angrily: "Trash, soft bones."
Han Sui said coldly: "You are noble and strong-boned, so why are you going to die? As long as the sun shines on the king of Wu, I will follow the king of Wu."
Looking at this scene, Lu Xuan raised the corner of his mouth with a slight smile. He stared at Ma Teng in front of him and said again: "Ma Teng, I give you the last chance. Will you submit to me, or will you refuse to surrender?
?”
Ma Teng held his head high and said, "I will not surrender until I die!"
If he surrenders, on the one hand Cao Cao will attack the Ma family's power in Xiliang, and on the other hand Ma Chao will be affected. If he does not surrender, Cao Cao will support the Ma family's power in Xiliang, and Ma Chao will be further reused.
The most important point is that Ma Teng believes that Cao Cao has stronger control over Xiliang.
Although Lu Xuan captured Hanzhong, he could also attack Xiliang, but Lu Xuan's troops traveled a long distance to fight in Xiliang, and he had little control over Xiliang, so Cao Cao must have the advantage.
Lu Xuan looked at Ma Teng who looked like he was going to die, suddenly smiled, and said with emotion: "You are really stubborn."
Ma Teng did not reveal what he was thinking, and said forcefully: "You, Lu Xuan, come from a loyal family, but you have turned your back on the great man. People like you are not people I, Ma Teng, want to be loyal to."
Han Sui listened, his expression still solemn, but his heart was extremely happy.
Ma Teng seeks death, very good.
Once Ma Teng is killed by Lu Xuan, he can legitimately annex Ma Teng's power in Xiliang. Although Cao Cao is tyrannical, he can still compete with Cao Cao by integrating the power of Xiliang and relying on Lu Xuan's support.
He is truly the only one in the family.
This is the best result.
Han Sui has always wanted to annex Ma Teng's power, but he has never had the chance. Because the Ma family is very powerful, and the Ma family also has Ma Chao under Cao Cao.
It's different now.
Han Sui changed his mind and said proactively: "King Wu, Ma Teng is stubborn and unruly, and he disrespects King Wu. He really deserves to be killed."
Lu Xuan nodded and asked with a smile: "Do you also think Ma Teng should be killed?"
"Deserves to be killed!"
Han Sui answered firmly.
With approval in his eyes, Lu Xuan smiled and said: "In that case, the execution of Ma Teng will be left to you. In front of Ma Teng's cavalry, you kill Ma Teng. Next, I will release some horses.
Teng's cavalry and asked them to send the news back to demonstrate to Cao Cao."
Han Sui's heart suddenly trembled.
The joy in his heart suddenly disappeared.
If Lu Xuan killed Han Sui, even though he surrendered to Lu Xuan, it could be said that he surrendered out of necessity, or it could be said that Ma Teng asked him to pretend to surrender and let him live to preserve the power of Xiliang.
Or, it could be said that Ma Teng is stubborn and would rather die than surrender for Xiliang... Everything can be said to be Lu Xuan's problem, and if it is said to be Ma Teng's problem, he can successfully wash away his charges.
, to win over the power of Xiliang.
Lu Xuan asked him to kill Ma Teng. No matter how he explained it, he would be suspected and thought he was following the trend.
All ideas were completely in vain.
Lu Xuan smiled half-heartedly and said, "Han Sui, aren't you willing? Could it be that your submission is a pretense?"
The moment Han Sui and Lu Xuan's eyes met, his heart suddenly suddenly became nervous. He seemed to feel that a trace of his thoughts had been understood.
At this moment, Han Sui felt his scalp numb.
He has met many people in his life.
When I saw Lu Xuan, I felt like he was being plotted and controlled.
Han Sui quickly lowered his head and said respectfully: "Report to the king, the sinner surrendered sincerely and had no other thoughts. The king asked the sinner to kill Ma Teng, so he killed Ma Teng. Ma Teng's crime is extremely heinous, and he deserves to be punished for his crime."
Lu Xuan praised: "After Ma Teng is killed, tomorrow morning, you will take the cavalry under your command to exit through Yangping Pass and return to Xiliang to stabilize the situation. If you want to turn around and betray, I have no objection."
"I don't dare."
Han Sui quickly said: "My lord, I will follow you to the death."
Once he killed Ma Teng, Cao Cao would definitely break with Han Sui completely, and there would be no chance for reconciliation between the two sides.
Han Sui could only rely on Lu Xuan.
This is the only result.
Han Sui wished that Lu Xuan had more support. Without Lu Xuan's support, he would definitely die. Han Sui rolled his eyes and further said: "After I return to Liangzhou, I kindly ask the king to arrange for the army to go to Liangzhou to assist. I can handle this alone."
It’s not going to happen.”
Lu Xuan had a smile on his face.
Han Sui is a real villain.
It is easier to arrange for such a villain. As long as you are strong and give him no choice, things will be easier to handle.
Lu Xuan nodded and said, "I will make arrangements."
When the conversation changed, Lu Xuan glanced at Ma Teng, who was in despair, and smiled coldly. He called Gan Ning directly, told Gan Ning what happened to Ma Teng and Han Sui, and then ordered Gan Ning to take people to the execution.
Less than a quarter of an hour later, Gan Ning came back.
With a smile on Gan Ning's face, he said: "Your Majesty, Han Sui killed Ma Teng, and the general has released more than a hundred of Ma Teng's cavalry. Your Majesty, you killed Ma Teng, recruited Han Sui to surrender, and used Ma Teng's death as a constraint.
Han Sui is truly brilliant."
Lu Xuan smiled softly and said: "Xiliang is far away and has many Qiang, Di and Hu people. It is difficult for our people to directly control it. Therefore, let Han Sui take care of it first and rectify these forces."
"The existence of Han Sui will further attract Cao Cao's power and prevent Cao Cao from fully developing. At the same time, I will slowly arrange people to further establish a foothold in Liangzhou and control the situation bit by bit."
"There is no need to rush when dealing with Xiliang."
"Now, Yizhou has just been captured, Yanzhou is about to be captured, and Qingzhou is also being controlled one after another. If we want to control various places, we need too many people. Therefore, for Liangzhou, we first support a Han who can only submit to us.
So."
Lu Xuan's eyes were calm and wise, and he said in a deep voice: "Tomorrow morning, you will release Han Sui. Afterwards, I will slowly arrange officials and troops to take control of Liangzhou."
"Here!"
Gan Ning answered immediately.
Lu Xuan waved his hands and said: "There should be no fighting tonight. Let's go and rest early."
