When Cao Cao led his army to the outside of Jincheng, Han Sui had been waiting in the city for a long time.
Han Sui led very few troops, only 2,000 men, and his sincerity in surrender at least seemed quite sufficient. You know, Cao Cao had an army of 100,000, with only 2,000 men. Cao Cao could easily destroy them with just one hand.
.
Han Sui was so sincere, and Cao Cao naturally wanted to repay Li, so he only brought five thousand people into Jincheng, and the rest were stationed outside the city.
The process of surrendering in the city was very simple. Han Sui expressed his surrender to Cao Cao and was willing to surrender to Xuchang as a hostage. Cao Cao happily accepted Han Sui's surrender.
Han Sui's attitude made Cao Cao overjoyed. Originally, Cao Cao thought that Han Sui's surrender was just a symbolic move. He might ask himself to continue to have control of Liangzhou. At most, he would only express his support for himself in name.
He surrendered and sent his son to Xuchang as a hostage. Unexpectedly, Han Sui surrendered so completely. Not only did he hand over everything in Liangzhou, but he was also willing to go to Xuchang in person. How could this not make Cao Cao jealous?
Da Chang?
Although there was no battle and the opportunity to make meritorious deeds was lost, Cao Jun was generally happy about Han Sui's surrender. After all, even in a battle with a superior position, there would inevitably be casualties, and some might die on the battlefield.
It might be me. Now that we can avoid the flames of war, it also ensures that there will be no losses, so why not do it.
Of course, Ma Dai and Pound were destined not to be among the joyful crowd.
Ma Dai and Han Sui had a bloody feud. Before going on the expedition, he had fantasized countless times that he could personally cut off Han Sui's head to avenge Ma Teng, Ma Chao and others.
But now, Han Sui was cowardly and surrendered without fighting. This also caused Ma Dai to lose the opportunity to take revenge with his own hands. How could he not hate him?
Pound's hatred for Han Sui was not as deep as that of Ma Dai, but he could not let go of his inability to kill Han Sui.
Now Ma Dai really wanted to rush into Han Sui's residence and kill him directly no matter what. As for the punishment he would face Cao Cao, he would only die.
However, Ma Dai did not have the bravery of his brother Ma Chao. Although Han Sui surrendered to Cao Cao, he was destined to have basic bodyguards around him. It is said that in Jincheng, General Yan Xing acted as Han Sui's bodyguard. Yan Xing's martial arts skills Ma Dai also had
From what I heard, even if Ma Chao wanted to defeat Yan Xing, it would take a lot of effort, let alone himself.
If he faced off against Yan Xing, he would probably be killed by the opponent, not to mention that Yan Xing could not be the only guard around Han Sui.
If Pound is willing to act with him, then the possibility of success will naturally be much greater. But to Ma Dai's surprise, when he proposed to Pound, he would go together to assassinate Han Sui and avenge Ma Teng and others.
At that time, Pound actually rejected his proposal.
Could it be said that Pound is unloyal? He is undoubtedly a loyal general. But because of this, as a general in Cao Cao's camp at this time, he naturally has to be loyal to Cao Cao.
By assassinating Han Sui, although he fulfilled his loyalty to his old master Ma Teng, it violated his loyalty to his current master Cao Cao. Therefore, Pound was also very hesitant and entangled.
If Cao Cao ordered Pang De to attack Han Sui's army, he would definitely take the lead and fight to the death. But now that Cao Cao has accepted Han Sui's surrender, in this case, Pang De is allowed to attack Han Sui's army without Cao Cao's knowledge.
To kill Han Sui, Pound was unable to make a decision.
As soon as Pang De arrived at Cao Cao's camp, he was worshiped as a general and made a marquis. Cao Cao treated him with great honor and favor, which made Pang De unable to betray this trust.
Pang De's entanglement at this time was out of his loyalty to Cao Cao, but Ma Dai thought that his loyalty to Ma Teng was gone, so he became very angry and waved his sleeves away.
It's a pity that without Pang De's cooperation, it would be difficult to kill Han Sui.
Ma Dai kept pacing in his tent, thinking about the method and feasibility of killing Han Sui. But after much thought, he still couldn't think of a way. No matter what he did, it seemed that he would just die in vain.
Ma Dai is not afraid of death, but Han Sui must die in front of him! As long as the great revenge is avenged, his own life and death will not be important.
Just when Ma Dai was having a headache about how to assassinate Han Sui, a messenger came to report that a banquet would be held in the city in the evening for the civil and military officials of Cao Cao and Han Sui.
This banquet not only celebrated Han Sui's surrender, but also provided an occasion to bring the two parties closer.
Banquet? After hearing this news, Ma Dai's eyes lit up. At the banquet, he might find an opportunity to kill Han Sui.
Although the possibility of successful assassination at the banquet is still very slim, at least Han Sui will definitely show up when the banquet is held. As long as he shows up, the assassination will be possible. If Han Sui has been hiding in his residence
If you don't show up, you have no chance at all.
If you don't succeed, you will succeed. Ma Dai made a decision and his eyes became firmer.
