After Han Sui's death, the farce in Jincheng soon came to an end.
Cao Cao, who survived the catastrophe, then mobilized Cao's troops outside the city to enter the city and easily controlled the situation in the city. Han Sui was killed, Xiliang Army General Yan Xing was also executed, and the remaining Xiliang Army generals were mediocre.
They had no ability to resist at all. Facing Cao's army, which was far superior to the Xiliang army in terms of number and combat power, they could only choose to surrender.
Most of the generals of the Xiliang army cherished their lives and had no intention of dying for Han Sui. After being captured by Cao's army, they all rushed to accept their surrender for fear of falling behind. Cao Cao did not want to accept their surrender.
, after all, his life was really almost destroyed at the hands of the Xiliang Army this time. If he wanted to easily expose the matter as if it had not happened, Cao Cao was by no means such a generous person.
However, Cao Cao also knew very well that although his power was now the most powerful in the world, it had not yet unified the world, and it was not enough to enable him to kill those who surrendered to him.
Therefore, although he was unwilling in his heart, Cao Cao still accepted the surrender of many Xiliang army generals and even gave them some promotions above their original positions.
However, not all of the Xiliang army were afraid of death. There was one person who did not ask Cao Cao to surrender, and that was Cheng Gongying, the chief adviser under Han Sui.
In terms of talent, Cheng Gongying is definitely outstanding. At least under Han Sui's account, there are not many capable people. Yan Xing is the most outstanding general, and Cheng Gongying is the most outstanding counselor. Han Sui
After killing Ma Teng, the situation back in Xiliang was constant. Various Qiang rebellions and other riots occurred one after another. Without Cheng Gongying's assistance and advice, the situation in Xiliang would have been much more corrupt than it is now.
Cao Cao had also heard of Cheng Gongying. Unlike those mediocre and incompetent generals of the Xiliang Army, Cao Cao hoped that Cheng Gongying could join his army. Although he had no shortage of counselors, he could never have too many outstanding talents.
Moreover, Cao Cao also heard that although Cheng Gongying's plan was indispensable for the Jincheng mutiny, it was only a helpless act following orders. When Cheng Gongying learned that Han Sui wanted to assassinate and conspire against him beforehand,
, and tried his best to express his objections, but the other party couldn't listen at all.
Cao Cao personally came to the place where Cheng Gongying was imprisoned and sincerely expressed his desire to recruit him. Originally, Cheng Gongying thought that he would definitely die, but Cao Cao personally recruited Cheng Gongying, which was quite unexpected. In addition, Cao Cao's sincere tone, Cheng Gongying
Moved by this, he surrendered to Cao Jun.
Ma Dai, who personally killed Han Sui, although it was his own arrogant idea, this action ultimately saved Cao Cao's life. Naturally, Cao Cao would not be stingy with the reward. After giving Ma Dai a large amount of property, he moved him to Ma Dai.
He was promoted to General Yamen and granted the title of Marquis of Guannei.
As everyone knows, Ma Dai was very happy to receive the reward on the surface, but he didn't know how much he regretted it in his heart. Han Sui's simple words before he was killed once again aroused his hatred for Cao Cao. As long as he
If he didn't take Han Sui's head back, or if he went back later, then Cao Cao would have died in the rebellion. In that case, both Han Sui and Cao Cao would die, and he would have avenged his great revenge in the true sense.
.
It's good now that Cao Cao has saved his life. It's simply impossible for him to kill him.
Naturally, Ma Dai did not dare to express this emotion at all, otherwise he would definitely die. So Ma Dai could only try to pretend to be the happiest to thank Cao Cao for his reward.
Ma Dai's view of Pound also changed a lot after this night. Originally, Ma Dai regarded Pound as an elder and treated him as a half-disciple. However, in Jincheng, Pound first refused to join him in killing Han Sui.
, and then rudely snatched Han Sui's head from him and saved Cao Cao's life. Therefore, Ma Dai developed a lot of prejudice against Pound, and even felt a bit disgusted.
In addition to Ma Dai, other generals such as Dian Wei, Pang De, Cao Zhen, Cao Xiu, Xia Houshang, Li Tong, etc. also received many rewards for their merits this time, and they were all very happy.
Although the eldest son Cao Ang did not receive any substantial reward, he received an evaluation from Cao Cao that he was "unfailing in times of crisis." This was definitely a great affirmation for the heir to a powerful force.
The only one who has not received a reward is probably Jia Xu. This scheming poisonous warrior got under the desk at the beginning of the Xiliang Army's mutiny and hid until the end of the rebellion. However, Jia Xu, a scholar, behaved like this.
It's normal, no one criticized or ridiculed him for this.
After rectifying the situation in Jincheng, Cao Cao led the army and continued to march towards Xiliang. The Xiliang army lost Han Sui, lacked even more civil and military personnel, and had no one who could take charge. They did not dare to resist in front of Cao Cao's army. Almost Liangzhou
All cities, large and small, faced Cao Jun and surrendered.
In the end, Cao Cao easily took over the entire Liangzhou. Although there are still many problems in Liangzhou such as the Qiang rebellion, at least the person who rules Liangzhou now is no longer Han Sui, but Cao Cao!
