  After Han Sui chose to escape, there was no suspense in this battle.

A hearty victory!

The abandoned infantry of Han Sui's army fell to death, without any of the previous madness and fighting spirit.

As for Han Suijun's cavalry, although they broke out of the encirclement by force, it does not mean that they are safe!

Dong Huang had originally wanted to wipe out the Liangzhou warlords. This rare opportunity, coupled with the inconvenience of command, gave Huang Zhong the power to act expediently.

Now that Han Sui's army was defeated, Huang Zhong was hesitant to pursue him and complete his victory in one battle.

Just as Huang Zhong was hesitating, Cheng Yu, who was eager to make contributions, spoke: "General, now Han Sui's army is as panicked as a lost dog and has no strength to fight. This is a great opportunity to annihilate! If the general can pursue and attack hard, take advantage of the opportunity. It is not impossible to regain Jincheng County! If Jincheng County can be recovered, this will be the greatest achievement of the Han Dynasty in the war against the Qiang in the past ten years! I believe that the lord will also congratulate the general!"

"But in a hasty pursuit, what should we do with our guides? What should we do with our rations?"

Huang Zhong still hesitated.

The guide is easy to say, but the key is that in the previous battle, Huang Zhong was aiming for a big victory. Naturally, it was impossible for the cavalry to carry rations with them, so as not to affect the combat effectiveness. If we prepare military rations now, I am afraid that Han Sui's army will have fled far away, and there will be a chance to regroup!

"Don't worry, general. Yu is willing to pursue the pursuit with the general. Regarding military rations, Yu has already made a good plan!"

Cheng Yu said, patting his chest.

Cheng Yu didn't dare to guarantee anything else, but as for military rations, Cheng Yu was still confident!
  Cheng Yu in history was famous for collecting military rations!

Seeing what Cheng Yu said, Huang Zhong, who also wanted to complete the battle, finally made the decision, leaving Le Jin, Jiang Qin, Li Tong, Zhu Ling and others to lead the infantry to continue guarding the camp, while he ordered seven thousand cavalry. One man and two horses, leading generals such as Cheng Yu, Hua Xiong, Hao Zhao, Xia Houlan, and Zhao Rui, pursued Han Sui's army.

This pursuit lasted seven days.

In seven days, Huang Zhong's troops were reduced by nearly [-] men, and half of their horses were exhausted, but the results were equally remarkable.

Under Huang Zhong's desperate pursuit, Han Sui's troops lost consecutive battles and suffered heavy losses. Even the important town of Yuzhong was captured by Huang Zhong.

When Han Sui finally escaped to his hometown Jincheng, Yan Xing, who stayed behind in Jincheng, rebelled on the spot and killed Han Sui's second son Han Xun. He cooperated with Huang Zhong to capture Jincheng and defeated Han Sui again.

One thing is that Han Xin, Han Sui's third son, is right. Yan Xing is indeed a second-fifth son, but Yan Xing's second-fifth son does not like to be rebellious. On the contrary, he is relatively loyal, but his loyalty Dedicated to the Central Dynasty, not to Han Sui, the rebel!
  To put it bluntly, Yan Xing doesn’t like Han Sui at all! It's just that Han Sui is in control of Longyou, and no one can stop him. The entire Yan Xing family is in Han Sui's hands, so he can only endure it.

Han Sui's defeat and the appearance of Dong Huangjun gave Yan Xing a chance!
  Yan Xing made a prompt decision and threw himself into Dong Huangjun's arms.

Han Sui, who was defeated again and again, could only retreat to Yunwu City.

Huang Zhong's troops who occupied Jincheng were already at the end of their strength and could only stay in Jincheng to rest temporarily.

After resting for a day, Huang Zhong and Yan Xing, who had replenished their horses' food and fodder, joined forces and continued to march towards Yunwu.

Faced with the relentless pursuit of Huang Zhong's troops, Han Sui was really in trouble. “Thief Dong will never be willing to kill me until he kills me!”

The extremely haggard Han Sui said bitterly.

"Lord, for the present plan, it is better to go to Qiangzhong!"

Cheng Gongying, Han Sui's confidant, suggested bravely.

"Qiangzhong?"

Han Sui's brows never relaxed for a moment: "That's not our place after all..."

Sighing, Han Sui stopped Cheng Gongying and the other generals who were looking panicked and said, "I understand what you mean! Now that the matter has come to this, staying here will probably lead to death. But if we retreat to Qiangzhong or even Huangzhong, can Dong Huang's army still chase us?"

Qiangzhong, Huangzhong, and even Lanxing are all within the scope of Huangshui Valley in Qinghai. Who would chase them there!
  Thinking of this, Han Sui finally regained the momentum he deserved as a hero, and said: "If Dong Huang's army pursues again, they will face endless Qiang and Di tribes. Dong Huang has always been cruel, and he has already become the same force as the Qiang and Di." Water and fire, Qiang Di will never give up with Dong Huangjun!"

"At that time, the powerful Han Dynasty mobilized the whole country and spent hundreds of years but could not completely quell the Qiang rebellion. What could Dong Huang do? So, we only need to endure it until winter at most. The exhausted Dong Huang will definitely retreat, but Jincheng County and Liangzhou are still ours!"

As a hero, the ability to confuse right and wrong and confuse people is essential. Obviously, Han Sui has such an ability. After Han Sui's bewitchment, some of his subordinates expressed their admiration for Han Sui's so-called "ingenious plan" .

Cheng Gongying was Han Sui's most intelligent general and Han Sui's mastermind. He knew very well about Han Sui's current situation.

He knew very well that once Han Sui abandoned his current foundation and fled to the Qiang, a comeback would be just a beautiful ideal. At that time, no matter how talented Han Sui was, he would definitely be controlled by the Qiang and Hu tribes, not the Qiang and Hu tribes. As he is now giving orders to the Qiang and Hu, does Han Sui have any other choices at this time?
  No!

Therefore, Cheng Gongying could only make this decision.

Cheng Gongying has always been a very loyal person. At this time, he could only choose the strategy that was most beneficial to Han Sui.
  When Hua Xiong led the vanguard troops to Yunwu under the guidance of Yan Xing, Han Sui had already fled with the soldiers and provisions that he could take away. Before escaping, he also set a fire in Yunwu City. Killed all the people who were unwilling to follow him.

A required lesson for a hero is to be ruthless to others! Han Sui understood the taste deeply and set fire to Yunwu City. Huang Zhong's troops, whose supplies had reached their limit, had to stop their pursuit and wait for the arrival of follow-up reinforcements in order to completely digest Jincheng County.

Cheng Yu still wanted to continue the pursuit. He felt that now that he had an excellent guide and military rations were readily available, there was no need to let Han Sui go. But when he saw the tired eyes of the soldiers, he had no choice but to give up!
  And just when Cheng Yu secretly wished that he could not eliminate all evil deeds, an unexpected surprise came: Han Sui's generals Ma Wan and Jiang Shi launched a rebellion and killed Han Sui and his son.

Historically, Han Sui died at the hands of Jiang Shi. Unfortunately, this man was too unknown, and Han Xin, who was the agent of the war, had no idea about it, which also led to his eventual death in a different place.

However, although Han Sui was killed, a dramatic scene still happened. Cheng Gongying, who was loyal to Han Sui, actually persuaded the forces loyal to Han Sui to kill the rebels Ma Wan and Jiang Shi to avenge Han Sui!

However, although revenge was avenged, the desperate Cheng Gongying could only surrender to Huang Zhong with Han Sui's body.

At this point, the Battle of Jincheng came to a successful conclusion.

Next, the only remaining separatist forces in Liangzhou are Ma Teng and Song Jian!
