Three Kingdoms: I, the Emperor of Wei, am loyal and honest! - #125 - Chapter 125
“A penny? Han Sui, are you kidding me?”
In the big tent, Ma Teng narrowed his eyes and looked at Han Sui with an unkind expression:”Our army lieutenant general saw dozens of fully loaded vehicles driving into your camp.
The same number of vehicles that come to my camp!
I have thirty cartloads of coins here, a total of fifteen million dollars!
But you said you only received one dollar, who were you kidding?”
As Ma Teng’s questioning sounded, there was a young general in white robes and silver armor behind him. He also tightened his sword on his waist and looked at Han Sui eagerly.
This man was about in his early twenties and was born. With his ape-like arms and wasp waist, tall body, heroic appearance, and a face like a crown of jade, he is the son of Ma Teng, Ma Chao!
Because of his majestic and handsome appearance, he is like a man of brocade and coarse cloth among the troops. In contrast, he was called Xiliang Jin Ma Chao!
When Han Sui saw that Ma Teng didn’t believe him, his son Ma Chao even pressed the hilt of his sword with a bad look on his face, and suddenly said angrily:”I really only received one dollar!”
Among the thirty carts, they were all filled with grain and grass. Each cart contained ten stones of grain and grass, making a total of three hundred stones of grain and grass!
That coin was sent to me by someone ordered by Jia Xu, who said it was a new coin minted by the hussar general Cao Ang for me to enjoy.
If you don’t believe it, I will send the thirty carts of food and grass over here!”
Han Sui did not lie, because Jia Xu actually sent thirty carts of grain and grass, which of course were seized from the dead Li Jue.
In addition, he only gave Han Sui a sum of money. In the name of Han Sui’s entertainment, he also asked Han Sui to learn about Han Siam and Yang Feng’s original saying,”It is better to get Cao Lang’s money than to get Yuan Shu’s daughter.”
So Han Sui didn’t doubt anything. He didn’t want the food and grass for nothing, but he didn’t expect Ma Teng to believe him! This made Han Sui feel wronged and extremely angry.
He thought that he and Ma Teng were brothers, but they had conflicts and eventually turned against each other.
During this period, Ma Teng’s wife and children fell into the hands of Han Sui and were killed by Han Sui. Therefore
, Ma Teng hated Han Sui deeply. If Yuan Shao had not sent an envoy to mediate with a lot of money, I am afraid that Ma Teng and Han Sui would still be here. They were attacking each other.
At this moment, Ma Teng’s suspicion of Han Sui was clearly due to the old hatred and the suspicion that Han Sui was lying. On the opposite side, Ma Teng’s expression flickered, as if he was thinking about the authenticity of Han
Sui’s words.
His eager eyes showed Ma Teng’s thoughts. He didn’t believe Han Sui’s words at all!
It was normal for Ma Teng to think so, because he did receive thirty carts of money from Jia Xu, and the rest were large and small. The princes and thieves all received money ranging from one or two to three or five cars each.
Han Sui, as the prince of Xiliang second only to himself, and Jia Xu also sent thirty cars to his camp. No matter how you look at it, it should be a good deal. Just like him, it was thirty carts full of coins!
But Han Sui said it was thirty carts of grain and grass, but he only received one coin…
How could Ma Teng believe this?
He just felt that Han Sui had changed his mind and wanted to swallow it. Those money were used to support the Cao family and his son!
Taking a deep breath, Ma Teng slowly said:”Han Sui, you and I were once brothers and sisters. Although we later turned against each other, I still have something to tell you.
Cao Cao was a traitor in the world, holding the emperor hostage to control the princes, and he was very ambitious.
His son Cao Ang was even more skilled in military warfare and had unpredictable talents!
Lu Bu from Xuzhou and Yuan Shu from Huainan were both captured by Cao Ang. Sun Ce from Jiangdong and Liu Biao from Jingzhou were also killed by Cao Ang according to the newly obtained news!
If this son is not eliminated, it will be a serious problem for our princes!
If you help the Cao family and his son because of thirty carts of money, then after Cao Ang defeats Yuan Shao, you and I and the Xiliang princes will all be destroyed by Cao Ang!
How could he allow you and me to continue to occupy Liangzhou and run rampant in Guanzhong?”
“But Yuan Shao is different!
Although Yuan Shao was the fourth prince and the third prince and led the four states of Hebei, he did not have the courage and means of Cao Cao, Cao Ang and his son.
Even if Yuan Shao defeated the Cao family and his son, he would still be unable to do anything to us and the Xiliang princes in Guanzhong!
At that time, we plundered Yuzhou, and then obtained the subsequent benefits from Yuan Shao, and blocked Hangu Pass and Tongguan, and Guanzhong and Liangzhou became a world of their own.
At that time, we can even unite with Liu Zhang of Yizhou, Zhang Lu of Hanzhong, the new lord of Jingzhou and Sun Quan of Jiangdong to compete with Yuan Shao.
Just like the Qin State during the Warring States Period hundreds of years ago, relying on the dangers of mountains and rivers, it can advance, attack, retreat or defend!
Isn’t it wonderful to live our own wealthy life behind closed doors? The lands of Yongzhou and Liangzhou are all shared by us and can be passed down to our descendants?
Ma Teng spoke with sincerity and sincerity, expressing his reasoning and emotions, and finally said:”When I say this, don’t be confused!”
If Jia Xu promises you any benefits, don’t believe it!”
After listening to Ma Teng’s words, Han Sui suppressed his anger, nodded and said:”How can I not know the truth you said?
I really have no intention of betraying the covenant, let alone helping the Cao family and his son!
Jia Xu didn’t promise any benefits, he just sent thirty carts of food and grass!”
Han Sui repeated the truth again, but Ma Teng’s face turned completely cold.
Because he had an old grudge with Han Sui, he was naturally biased. In addition, Han Sui had rebelled several times before the Yellow Turban Rebellion. Ma Teng was even more unconvinced and felt that Han Sui was still not telling the truth.
Han Sui suddenly became anxious:”Everything I said is true! If you don’t believe it, there’s nothing I can do about it.
This must be Jia Xu’s plan to alienate people!
I want to use this to turn you and me against each other so that he can benefit from it!”
Han Sui is not a fool. Knowing the truth about his family, he immediately thought that this must be Jia Xu’s plan.
At first, he really sent dozens of carts of money to Ma Teng and other thieves, but when they arrived at Han Sui’s place, he gave them lightly. Dozens of carts of grain and grass made Ma Teng and others feel that Han Sui must have received dozens of carts of money.
However, once Han Sui told the truth, it would not be easy for Ma Teng and others to believe him, and he would be suspected. Han Sui had successfully leveraged Ma Teng. Broken relationship! But even if
Han Sui knew it at this moment, he had already fallen into Jia Xu’s conspiracy, because when the dozens of cars entered his camp, he was destined to be unable to explain it!
With thirty carts of grain and grassland being pulled over, Ma Teng could also suspect that Han Sui had pocketed the money and loaded it with grain and grass to fool himself… Once the seeds of suspicion are planted, they will take root in people’s hearts.
, Ma Teng is not a fool, he also thought that this might be Jia Xu’s divorce plan, but it is only possible!
It is not impossible that Han Sui was actually bribed, but lied in public!
“Well, you’re right. Jia Xu has always been resourceful and good at using tricks. This should be Jia Xu’s plan to alienate people!”
Although he did not dispel his doubts, Ma Teng still nodded and approved Han Sui’s words.
Even if he was pretending to agree!
After all, Li Jue and Guo Si were dead at this time, and their old tribe and Duan Xuan’s tribe were both in the hands of Jia Xu. Originally, the princes of Guanzhong Of the 200,000 troops, only 1,120,000 troops from Ma Teng, Han Sui, and others were left.
Among them, Ma Teng’s 50,000 troops, Han Sui’s 40,000 troops, and the remaining bandit commanders, the largest were six to seven thousand. If Ma Teng insists on not believing in Han Sui at this moment, the two armies will fight. If Ma Teng gets involved, not only will Ma Teng suffer a loss, but the coalition of princes will also completely collapse.
Yuan Shao’s plan to attack Cao’s father and son will also collapse!
Yuan Shao will be alone against Cao Ang, and there is no guarantee of victory!
Therefore, for the sake of the overall situation, Ma Teng expressed his trust in Han Sui, and at the same time discussed with everyone present how to deal with Jia Xu, recapture the more than 60,000 soldiers and horses, and continue to coordinate Yuan Shao’s affairs.
After the discussion, Ma Teng and Han Sui made a decision immediately. , gathered an army of 120,000 people, and launched an attack on Jia Xu’s headquarters to avoid long nights and nightmares.
When they learned that Ma Teng, Han Sui, and others had joined forces with 120,000 troops to attack, Duan Xuan and Wu Xi were a little panicked. After all, the opponent had twice the strength. Moreover, Ma Teng and Han Sui had many elite soldiers and generals under their command such as Ma Chao, Pang De, and Yan Xing.
However, Jia Xu did not panic at all and allowed Xu Huang to lead the army with 180,000 troops. It was obviously impossible for them all to come up and start a melee.
So before Ma Teng and Han Sui were ready, Jia Xu asked Xu Huang to lead a fierce attack on Ma Teng’s troops, leaving Han Sui and the other traitorous princes alone.!
Ma Chao took the lead and fought with Xu Huang. The two sides fought for dozens of rounds, regardless of the outcome.
However, Xu Huang only brought more than 20,000 troops under Li Jue to fight against Ma Teng’s army. Although Xu Huang and Ma Chao fought hard. They came and went, but were suppressed by Ma Teng’s 50,000 troops.
At this moment, Xu Huang suddenly shouted on the battlefield:”General Han Sui, don’t take action yet, but wait!””
Xu Huang shouted so loudly that Han Sui was stunned, and he immediately had a bad premonition in his heart.
In Ma Teng’s army, Ma Teng and Ma Chao had not given up their doubts about Han Sui. Now when they heard Xu Huang shout, they were even more worried. He immediately became vigilant:”Han Sui, you are indeed secretly colluding with Cao Jun!
Han Sui looked innocent:”I didn’t!”
This is Jia Xu and Xu Huang’s frame-up plan!
Deliberately causing a dispute between you and me!”
As soon as Han Sui said these words, several cold arrows were shot out from Han Sui’s army and flew into Ma Teng’s army formation from the flanks, causing several of Ma Teng’s men to be hit by arrows.
Even Ma Teng’s second son, Ma Xiu, They were all caught off guard, hit by a cold arrow, and died on the spot. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
“Han Sui, you still said no!
How dare you attack and kill my son!”
When Ma Teng saw that his second son was dead, blood immediately filled his eyes and he was furious.
Ma Chao, who was fighting Xu Huang, was also furious:”Old thief Han Sui, if you dare to kill my second brother, I will kill you.!”
With that said, Ma Chao fired a few fierce shots, forcing Xu Huang to defend. Then he took the opportunity to gallop away and went straight to where Han Sui was to kill him.
“not me! I never���!”
Han Sui was also stunned by this scene, and immediately became anxious:”Who dares to shoot arrows randomly!
Could it be that they want to harm me!
Don’t act rashly without my order. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed!”
Just as he looked around, he wanted to When they caught the guy who was disobeying orders and fired cold arrows, Ma Chao on the opposite side was already on his horse, readying his bow and arrow, and shot an arrow at Han Sui.
“Lord, be careful!”
Han Sui’s general Yan Xing shouted, shot down Ma Chao’s cold arrow, and stood in front of Han Sui to greet Ma Chao.
In Ma Teng’s army, Ma Teng, who had experienced the pain of losing his son, also had red eyes. In front of the irrefutable evidence, Han Sui didn’t believe him at all, so he ordered to fire arrows to fight back.
However, Han Sui’s subordinates had just been angrily reprimanded by Han Sui, saying that he ordered not to act rashly and anyone who disobeyed the order would be killed, so they did not dare to move.[]
Even when random arrows from Ma Teng’s men came, they just dodged and retreated without fighting back. One or two hundred people were shot over on the spot.
Seeing that his men were attacked but did not fight back, Han Sui became anxious again:”The enemy fired arrows, don’t you know how to fight back!
Fire arrows for me and fight back!”
With this order from Han Sui, his soldiers and horses, Then he hurriedly released his arrows, and there was a flurry of arrows. Many of Ma Teng’s troops also fell.
“Okay, Han Sui, I said you didn’t betray!
He actually called me an enemy! It was clearly planned for a long time, and I had made an appointment with Cao Jun to defect before the battle, catching me off guard!”
In the fury of losing his second son, and what he saw with his own eyes, Ma Teng completely believed that Han Sui was an internal agent of Cao’s army. With a roar of a tiger, he ordered an all-out attack on Han Sui’s tribe.
The other princes, big and small, were also under Ma Teng’s command. Under the order, he launched an attack on Han Sui.
Seeing that Han Sui was surrounded by 80,000 troops including Ma Teng, Jia Xu gave Xu Huang a signal, and Xu Huang suddenly shouted:”General Han Sui, don’t panic, I’m coming.” help you!”
As he said that, he led more than 20,000 Li Jue’s old troops to chase Ma Teng’s troops and kill them on the flanks.
Under Jia Xu’s order, Duan Xuan and Wu Xi’s 40,000 troops also joined the melee. In this way, It was Ma Teng and other 80,000 people, and Jia Xu and Han Sui and other 90,000 people.
In fact, Han Sui was not on Jia Xu’s side, but was calculated by Jia Xu. He brought sixty carts of money, twenty of which were given to Duan Xuan by Jia Xu. When he plotted to rebel against Wu Xi, he only gave Wu Xi a general seal and promised that Wu Xi would lead Guo Si’s old army, so Wu Xi killed him. He killed Guo Si like a blood.
Thirty of the remaining forty carts were sent to Ma Teng, and the other ten carts were roughly evenly divided and sent to the other small princes. As for Han Sui
, they found 30 empty carts and sent them with three hundred stones of grain and grass.
Of course, this method of alienation was too obvious.
It will really convince Ma Teng, but it will leave seeds of doubt, and the next method is the key.
As a celebrity in Xiliang, and a down-to-earth celebrity, Jia Xu can go anywhere and know everyone.
Young Master also gathered Wu Xi, Duan Xuan and others around him.
He naturally knew something about some of Han Sui’s subordinates.
So while getting rid of Li Jue and Guo Si last night, Jia Xu also sent people to Han Sui in advance!
Near the camp, several greedy and profit-seeking guys under Han Sui were bribed.
Of course, it was still a verbal check plus a general’s seal, but with the endorsement of Jia Xu’s name, it was enough for those Xiliang people.
So , when Xu Huang shouted”General Han Sui, don’t take action yet”, the few cold arrows flying out from Han Sui’s army came from Han Sui’s subordinates who had been bribed by Jia Xu in advance in such a tense environment on the battlefield.
, there is not so much time to judge the truth, people will only believe what they see.
Ma Teng saw Han Sui’s army shooting arrows and shot his son Ma Tie, so his original suspicion turned into belief, and he was convinced that Han Sui was dead.
Against the backdrop of old and new grudges, he wanted to attack Han Sui for revenge!
This was Jia Xu’s plan to kill three men with two peaches and confuse the princes with just one penny!
In this way, Jia Xu only used one night and half a day to kill the princes in Guanzhong, and they were in chaos.
It must be said that Ma Teng was a general of the imperial court!
He was born after General Fubo Ma Yuan, and his troops were the most brave and skilled among the Xiliang princes.
In the big melee, although Ma Teng’s troops were slightly inferior, his combat power was not weak.
Coupled with the anger bonus of his dead son, he was able to suppress Han Sui, Wu Xi, and Duan Xuan’s troops despite facing several enemies..
In addition to Xu Huang being fierce enough to lead Li Jue’s old troops who had just taken control, they could still withstand Ma Teng’s army’s offensive.
“ah!”
With a scream, Wu Xi was killed by Pang De, the general of Ma Teng’s army!
Poor Wu Xi had been planning for a long time, and finally attacked and killed his old master Guo Si last night, and became a prince himself. As a result, he didn’t even have a day’s addiction before sitting down. He died under Pang De’s sword.
At this time, Guo Si and Wu Xi’s old troops were suddenly leaderless, and they couldn’t help but began to collapse. Jia Xu looked at it with a calm expression and did not stop him.
Wu Xi died in the battle, and Xu Huang and Duan Xuan were afraid of Ma Teng’s army and threatened to retreat. Although he did not join Cao’s army or join forces with
Jia Xu, But Jia Xu had plotted against him, and now he was fighting to the death with Ma Teng.
Ma Teng, who was eager to avenge his son, was immediately unable to resist Han
Sui’s general Yan Xing. But no one could stop Ma Teng, Pang De and Ma Dai!
Pang De killed Han Sui’s soldiers with a big sword. Ma Teng took the opportunity to shout angrily and stabbed Han Sui to death on the spot with a shot.!
In the distance, Jia Xu, who was watching the battle, suddenly smiled…
