villain

Chapter 189 Han and Ma (End)
In the early morning, Jincheng was shrouded in mist. From a distance, it was faintly visible and extremely mysterious.

Han Sui looked at the outline of Jincheng with a complicated expression, endless bitterness rose in his heart, and he was full of thoughts for a while.

Behind him, there are thousands of cavalry in black, standing silently.

These people are all his followers, and now he has to find a way out for his followers.

Although there are tens of thousands of people gathered in Jishi Mountain, in Han Sui's view, those people are not enough to believe, they are just mobs.As for Beigong Boyu's Po Qiang in Huangzhong, Han Sui dismissed it even more. A group of aliens also want to be kings and hegemons?

After being suppressed and beaten by Dong Zhuo for half a year, coupled with the constant attacks by the Baima Qiang people in the Hehuang area, Han Sui clearly realized that Jishi Mountain could not stay any longer.Blocked by Dong Zhuo and the Baima Qiang people, Han Sui had already run out of ammunition and food.Under such circumstances, it is very difficult to ensure the supply of Beigong Boyu's Huangzhong Poqiang materials.

Beigong Boyu is unreliable...

In Han Sui's view, since it is unreliable, it can be sold.

Now is the best time to sell that Beigong Boyu.

More than a month ago, Han Sui poked and coaxed Beigong Boyu and his men to launch a fierce attack in the river valley area, which made Dong Zhuo's men feel exhausted.In order to gain the trust of Beigong Boyu, Han Sui even handed over the tens of thousands of Shaodang Qiang people in his hands to Beigong Boyu, in the name of trying to help the war with all his strength, but in fact, Han Sui threw the burden away. Gave it to Beigong Boyu.

Now, he travels lightly, and his followers are full of wine and food.

"Yanming!"

Han Sui said softly: "I'll give you 500 troops to open the city gate by fraud... I have already explained how to do it yesterday. Remember, after the gate is opened by fraud, a signal will be sent immediately, before the army rushes into Jincheng , you have to do your best to keep the city gate intact."

"My son-in-law understands!"

Yan Xing got on his horse, picked up a pair of plum blossom silver hammers, and galloped towards Jincheng with five hundred light cavalry.

This pair of sledgehammers is another weapon that Yan Xing asked someone to forge.The weight of the pair of drum-beating golden hammers left by Dong Bi is acceptable, but the usage of the drum-beating golden hammers is very complicated, especially the mechanisms on the hammers, Yan Xing has not been able to use them so far.

He didn't have Dong Pi's strength, he couldn't even sit still on a horse after a few strokes of the meteor hammer.

Later, he simply discarded the pair of golden hammers for beating drums and ordered someone to rebuild a pair of bright silver hammers with plum blossoms.

Yan Xing didn't think there was anything wrong with Han Sui's abandonment of his allies.

In the bitterly cold Northwest, the law of the jungle and the ethics of natural selection are clearer.

Yan Xing can also be regarded as the son of an official, and he understands very well that in politics there are no permanent allies, let alone permanent enemies.

Besides, if it wasn't for Beigong Boyu and Shao as old kings, how could his good prefect son-in-law become the current traitor?Han Sui's abandonment of Beigong Boyu is very good, very wonderful... If you don't do this, you won't be a real man.

The mist was shrouded, and the defenders of Jincheng could only see people coming, but they couldn't see the flags clearly.

"Who? If you don't stop, you'll shoot the arrow!"

"Don't shoot arrows, don't shoot arrows... I was ordered by Lord Inspector to report something important to General Hu Zhen."

"Wait!"

The general of the defending army immediately reported to Hu Zhen, the guard of Jincheng.

Because Beigong Boyu stormed Dong Zhuo's headquarters in the valley like crazy, Dong Zhuo had to transfer most of his troops to the valley.Although Dong Zhuo now has many soldiers and generals, it is still a bit stretched to face the attack of 10,000+ Qiang people.

Jincheng had to be guarded by Hu Zhen, and at the same time Hu Chi'er was transferred from Niu Fu to assist.

Now Dong Zhuo's account is indeed full of talents.After Nanyang recruited the Yellow Turban generals Chen Lan and Lei Bo to serve as governors of Liangzhou, Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu, the ancestors of Wuwei Li, came to vote.Following the attack of Li Wenhou and Bian Zhang, the general of Beidi County, Li Jue and Guo Si retreated to Longxi and returned to Dong Zhuo's tent. At the same time, he brought Dong Zhuo a famous scholar from Jiuyuan, Li Su.

Among them, that Zhang Xiu studied under one of the three masters, Tong Yuan, the spear king of the Northland, with high martial arts skills and unstoppable courage.

But in Dong Zhuo's heart, perhaps out of trust in his old subordinates, Hu Zhen was appointed as the guard of Jincheng.

There is no war in Jincheng, so Hu Zhen is naturally extraordinarily relaxed.

Drinking in the government office every day, and even patrolling the city, were left to the deputy general Hu Chi'er to take charge.

Yesterday was hungover, Hu Zhen was still lying on the couch and sleeping soundly, when suddenly he heard Hu Chi'er came to report: "There is someone outside the city claiming to be a messenger sent by the lord, saying that he wants to see the general."

"Ah, since the lord sent them here, let them come in."

Hu Chi'er hesitated for a moment, "General, that Han Wenyue is very cunning, and now the Lord is fighting in the valley, do you want to confirm it again?"

"Is there anything to confirm?"

Hu Zhen got up and said in a daze, "The Qiang thieves are all concentrated in the river valley. How can they come to attack our Jincheng? Besides, Jincheng still has 500 elite soldiers, just [-] people. General, don't even think about running wild in my golden city."

Hu Chi'er thought about it, and it seemed to be the same.

When he was ordered to leave and returned to the top of the city, the fog had already thinned a lot.

Faintly, I saw someone holding a pair of hammers under the city.Today, under Dong Zhuo's account, there is a personal army, known as Bo Langshi.I don't know if it was inspired by Dong Pi's troll warriors or what, but Bo Langshi is composed of fierce soldiers, using hammers as weapons.

Hu Chi'er felt relieved, but still faintly felt that something was wrong.

"The people in the city are waiting, let's open the city!"

As he spoke, he waved his hand to ask someone to open the jack gate.At this time, someone shouted under the city: "Why are you so dawdling, hurry up!"

wrong……

Hu Chi'er's wit gave a chill. Bo Langshi was Dong Zhuo's personal army in Nanyang, and most of the recruits were strong men from Sizhou and Yuzhou.And how can the people under the city speak such fluent Jincheng dialect?No, it's the enemy!
"Don't open the city..."

Hu Chier yelled loudly, but it was too late.

The jack gate of the city gate was raised, the gate slowly opened a crack, and the suspension bridge also fell.

I saw a rider rushing out from the city, jumped onto the suspension bridge and shouted loudly: "Boys, follow me to the door!"

Before the words fell, the sledgehammer was raised and smashed on the city gate with a bang.There was a loud bang on the heavy iron gate, followed by the man hammering three times in a row. The soldiers behind the gate couldn't resist the huge force, and many people were knocked out by the gate.

Immediately afterwards, five hundred iron cavalry rushed into the city and immediately charged.

Hu Chi'er commanded the men and horses in an attempt to retake the city gate, but he also hurriedly mounted his horse, and charged down the city with a knife in hand.They ran into the general who was wielding the hammer head-on, and the two of them didn't say much, they circled on the wrong horse, and after only two or three rounds, Hu Chi'er was swept off his horse with a hammer.

At the same time, there was a sound of gongs and the sound of rumbling horseshoes in the distance.

Jincheng was in chaos immediately, and Yan Xing took the lead with two hammers in his hand.Wherever he went, flesh and blood flew everywhere, so mighty.

Hu Zhen also heard the news, got on his horse in a daze, and ran forward with a gun.

I happened to meet Yan Xing on the street, and as soon as the two met, Yan Xing roared, and the wheel hammer smashed.Hu Zhen hadn't figured out the origin of his opponent, so he raised his gun to greet him hastily.Hearing a bang, the big gun was smashed into a U shape, Hu Zhen's arms went numb, and his drowsy mind suddenly came to his senses.

No matter how Yan Xing allowed him to escape, Pegasus chased after him, and the sledgehammer flew out of his hand suddenly, hitting Hu Zhen on the back.

Hu Zhen, who was hit by a sledgehammer weighing six to seventy kilograms, vomited blood and fell headfirst off the horse.Yan Xing also galloped past, reaching out and grabbing the handle of the hammer.

"The general is dead, the general is dead..."

Jincheng soldiers and horses panicked for a while.

At this time, Han Sui also led his men and horses to rush into the city, and for a long time, he killed a Jincheng soldier so that he turned his back on his back and ran away with his head in his arms.

When the mist cleared, Jincheng had fallen into Han Sui's hands.

Seeing the long-lost Jincheng return to his hands, Han Sui was extremely emotional.

"Father-in-law, what shall we do next?"

Standing on the top of the city, Han Sui meditated for a while and said softly, "The Golden City cannot be defended...we cannot stay here for long."

"what?"

"Order the sons and daughters to collect food and grass, and be ready to go at any time. Also, have you ever caught any prisoners?"

Yan Xing said regretfully: "Dong Zhuo's main force fought fiercely with him in the valley, and Jincheng did not leave any powerful characters. The guard Hu Zhen was killed by his son-in-law, but the son-in-law captured a lieutenant general. Bring him here."

After a while, Hu Chi'er was taken to the top of the city by a group of tigers and wolves.

Han Sui asked with a smile: "This general, can you give me your name so that I can be called by you?"

Hu Chi'er replied tremblingly: "The young general Hu Chi'er is the captain under the command of General Niu Fu, the prefect of Longxi. He has met the general."

"Niufu?"

A cold light flashed in Han Sui's eyes, "It seems to be Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, right?"

"Exactly!"

Yan Xing rolled his eyes and said softly: "Father-in-law, why don't we use this man's hand to blow up Longxi County City and occupy Longxi?"

Han Sui's heart skipped a beat.I quite appreciate Yan Xing's proposal.This son-in-law is not a brave or foolhardy person, he just needs to hone it a bit, and he will definitely help me achieve great things.Seizing Longxi sounds very attractive.

But after thinking about it, Han Sui gave up his mind.

"No..."

"why?"

"Niu Fu is different from Hu Zhen. He acts cautiously. He is a guy who does not seek meritorious deeds. We can swindle Jincheng, but we may not be able to swindle Longxi. And that Longxi county is different from here, Longxi It is the foundation of Dong Zhuo, so it must be heavily guarded... and it is said that Lintao and Dong's Ranch still have [-] soldiers, so we can't take advantage of it."

When Yan Xing heard this, he also nodded slightly, thinking: "Father-in-law is still thinking carefully."

Ordering someone to take Hu Chi'er down, Han Sui pondered for a moment, then suddenly clenched his fist and slammed it on the battlement.

"Candidate, Zhang Heng!"

"The end is here!"

"Immediately gather people and horses, and evacuate from Jincheng after an hour. Only bring food, grass, and horses, and nothing else is allowed. Don't worry about gold, silver and jewelry. He promised that everyone will get more wealth than today. .”

"I will understand at the end!"

Yan Xing asked puzzledly: "Father-in-law, where are we going?"

"Go to Anding, we will meet Li Wenhou and Bian Zhang."

"To stay with them? And to go to Anding, you have to go through Longxi. Didn't your father-in-law say you won't go to Longxi?"

"We do not go to Longxi, but cross the Queyin River and enter Anding from Jingyuan."

"Go to Jingyuan?"

Han Sui smiled slightly, and said softly: "I have known Ma Teng, the guard of Jingyuan, for a long time. This man is the descendant of General Fubo Ma Yuan, but he is very ambitious. He is not Dong Zhuo's direct line, so he will not be reused. And because he is People from Liangzhou, the people of Sili will also reject him. If we go to Jingyuan, we can tell him what happened to me, and then persuade him. As long as we can gain a foothold in Jingyuan and Bianzhang and others gain power, we can take the opportunity to send troops to help , if you lose power, you can join forces with Ma Teng to plot Wuwei."

After hearing these words, Yan Xing fell into deep thought.

"Father-in-law means... to occupy Wuwei, we rely on the Western Regions, if the situation is unfavorable, we will go to the Western Regions; if the situation is favorable, we will take the opportunity to regain Jincheng?"

Han Sui nodded appreciatively, "What Yanming said is good. But my plan is not only in Jincheng, but the whole Liangzhou. You see, even if Bian Zhang and Li Wenhou are defeated, the people in the court will not let Dong Zhuo If one person grows big, someone will definitely be hired to share his power. At that time, we will be able to have both sides in it, but to convince Ma Teng, we need to hire one person... Yanming, you lead someone first, Cheng Cheng and I Yin and Liang Xing go to invite people, and then follow."

Yan Xing was stunned, "Who does father-in-law want to invite?"

"Guo Chong!"

"Guo Chong from Gaolan?"

"It's this person. Guo Chong and Ma Teng have a good relationship, and Guo Chong's ancestors were kind to Ma Teng's father. With him coming forward, it will be easy to persuade Ma Teng."

Yan Xing said with a smile: "Father-in-law is really scheming, my son-in-law admires it."

******
Not to mention how Han Sui persuaded Ma Teng.

When Jincheng was captured by Han Sui, Dong Zhuo defeated Qiang in the river valley.

With [-] iron cavalry on the rampage, more than [-] hungry Qiang cavalry were unable to make effective resistance. After several days of fierce fighting, Beigong Boyu fled in a panic.

On the battlefield, corpses are everywhere.

Dong Zhuo was dressed in military uniform, riding a big white horse, very proud.

He was accompanied by Li Jue, Guo Si and Li Ru, and the rest of the generals were divided into three groups to cover up and kill, vowing to take Beigong Boyu down.

Li Ru looked at the sky and said with a smile, "I think Han Sui has already occupied Jincheng."

Li Jue and Guo Si were a little afraid of this thin guy.

This is a guy who dares to plot against his own people...

The conflict between Li Ru and Hu Zhen originated from Nanyang.At the beginning, Li Ru's poor planning made Dong Zhuo almost die by the banks of the Feishui River.If Dong Pi hadn't led the surprise soldiers to appear, maybe... So after that, Hu Zhen often sneered at Li Ru.

The conflict between the two became more severe after returning to Liangzhou.

Beigong Boyu attacked the river valley abnormally, and Li Ru immediately sensed a hint of conspiracy.

After careful analysis, Li Ru came to the conclusion: Han Sui wanted to abandon his pawns to keep his commander in chief, and Beigong Boyu to protect himself.

At this time, Dong Jin, a confidant of Dong Cheng, a chariot and cavalry general, begged to see Dong Zhuo.

Dong Jin is a very clever young man, about 24 or [-] years old, and his name is Sanshi.

Li Ru also saw this person, and the conversation that night was limited to Dong Zhuo, Li Ru and Dong Jin.

Dong Jin said: "I heard that Mr. Dong's ancestors were originally from Pengcheng, Xuzhou? Then his family moved to Longxi? Is there such a thing?"

Dong Zhuo's ancestors did live in Pengcheng, but that was three generations ago, and Dong Zhuo himself didn't know it very well.In his heart, many years of life in Liangzhou has already imprinted Dong Zhuo with a very obvious brand of Liangzhou people.

However, Dong Jin's words seemed to contain a hidden meaning, so Dong Zhuo would naturally not deny it.

"That happened many years ago. My father once talked about it with Zhuo, saying that there are still relatives in Pengcheng, but Zhuo has never gone back, so he is not very clear about who else is in the clan."

"Oh, that villain knows a thing or two."

Dong Zhuo made a very excited look, "Mr. Ganqing give advice."

"My master is also from Pengcheng. After the son entered Luoyang, my master heard that his surname is also Dong, and his ancestral home was in Pengcheng, so he ordered the younger one to go home and check the genealogy, and found the name of Master Dong's father on it. "

"Oh?"

"My lord's father, but Mingya?"

Dong Zhuo nodded again and again, "Exactly!"

"However, in the genealogy, Master Dong's branch only ends with your father. I don't know why, but you don't see your name."

"This, maybe it's because I haven't been in touch with the family for a long time, so I don't know."

Dong Zhuo glanced at Li Ru and saw Li Ru nodded slightly.

Dong Cheng is the younger brother of Empress Dong.But the Pengcheng Dong family was a famous family at that time, quite famous.Both Dong Zhuo and Li Ru were keenly aware that Dong Jin's visit this time might have some other purpose.But no matter what the purpose is, being able to enter the Dong family tree, regardless of whether Dong Zhuo is really related to the Dong family, it is equivalent to changing the identity of the boss.

Isn't the genealogy thing written by humans?
Dong Jin said that there is Dong Ya's name but not Dong Zhuo's name, which means that Dong Zhuo should express his attitude.

Dong Zhuo got up, "Please tell General Cheqi that Dong Zhuo is always thinking about returning to the clan and recognizing his ancestors... I beg the general to see that Dong Zhuo is sincere and realize Zhuo's idea."

The meaning in the words has already shown the heart.

Dong Jin pondered for a moment, then took out two letters from the interlayer of his close-fitting underwear, and handed them to Dong Zhuo.

"These two letters, one is written by my master, and the other letter... the adults just read it, and just tell the villain the answer."

Dong Zhuo glanced at the envelope and couldn't help but shudder.

One of the letters was impressively stamped with the emperor's seal, which was clearly an imperial edict.

Open the letter and read it carefully.Dong Zhuo said solemnly: "Please tell your lord that Dong Zhuo will follow the order."

Dong Jin said: "Before the villain left, the master asked the villain to convey a few words to the adults: the young master is not tolerated by scholars in Luoyang, but as long as the master is there for a day, he will definitely protect the young master. The adults should accumulate strength, Only in the future will we be able to make a difference. If things can be accomplished, then the position of general must be the general, so please think twice about how to act."

These words were very ingenious, but they clearly expressed Dong Cheng's meaning.

Is it Dong Cheng's intention, or the emperor's intention?
Dong Zhuo didn't want to ask.This is a great benefit, and it can help him gain a firm foothold in Liangzhou.

Not long after Dong Jin left, news came from Luoyang that Dong Pi had been sent to Dali Prison and was almost framed.

Immediately afterwards, Yuan Shao sent Zhang Miao to help.

But anyone with a discerning eye could see what Yuan Shao was thinking.Zhang Miao came here probably not just to assist Dong Zhuo.

Zhang Miao was very sensible, after coming to Longxi, he was not in a hurry to intervene in military affairs.

But Dong Zhuo knew very well that Zhang Miao didn't want to intervene, but was waiting for the opportunity.As soon as the war in Liangzhou subsides, he will definitely come out.At that time, with the abilities of the four generations and three princes of the Yuan family, it was easy to divide Dong Zhuo's power.

Yuan family, you are so calculating!

But Dong Zhuo is not worried, since he has the support of the Dong family, let him come here.

Therefore, when Li Ru said that Han Sui might have a conspiracy, Dong Zhuo cooperated and transferred all Jincheng troops to Hegu.

If you want to break through, then break through.

As long as you are in Liangzhou, you can't escape from my grasp.

As far as Li Ru was concerned, except for Hu Zhen, there was a bad breath in his heart.

******
Beigong Boyu was captured by Zhang Xiu and brought to Dong Zhuo.

Seeing Beigong Boyu, Dong Zhuo couldn't help but think of his eldest daughter and eldest son-in-law, and a killing intent arose in his heart.

"Bei Gongyu, I've heard your name for a long time!"

Dong Zhuo deliberately called out Beigong Boyu's earlier name, with a ferocious smile on his face.

Beigong Boyu's complexion was pale, and his heart was full of despair.He knew very well that Dong Zhuo would never spare his life.

He deliberately tried to be tough, but his leg kept shaking, and he fell to his knees on the ground with a thump.

"You killed my daughter that day, have you thought about today?"

Taking a deep breath, Beigong Boyu said, "If you want to kill or chop, it's up to you..."

"Hahaha, I want to kill you, it's as simple as crushing an ant. But now I suddenly want to tell you something, I believe you will be willing to listen. While you were fighting with me, your friend Han Sui, Occupy Jincheng."

Beigong Boyu's eyes lit up, but when he saw the smile on Dong Zhuo's face, he seemed to understand something at once.

"However, he didn't come to rescue you. Instead, he took food, grass, soldiers and horses and went to Anding to vote for Li Wenhou and Bian Zhang. Hehe, your most trusted ally has abandoned you now. I don't know you, the king of the broken Qiang Listen, what do you think?"

"He, he..."

Beigong Boyu only felt a tightness in his chest, and opened his mouth to spit out blood.

Han Sui, why do I always have to trust him?It is said that scholars know shame and loyalty, but why does he betray me again and again?

Seeing Beigong Boyu's pale face, Dong Zhuo was pleased.

"Come on, push this traitor out and kill him!"

A small school came and dragged Beigong Boyu away, and after a while a bloody head was thrown in front of Dong Zhuo.

"Hua Xiong, Xu Rong!"

"The end will be..."

"From today onwards, the Po Qiang troops in Huangzhong will be under the control of the two of you. Anyway, that Po Qiang was once my daughter's subordinate, so you should take good care of them. , under the command of Zhang Ji. Li Jue and Guo Si, take the troops of the headquarters to Jincheng immediately, and notify Niu Fu to send more troops, food and grass, and all the departments to rest on the spot."

"Well..."

"Li Ru, Li Su, you two will go with me to Baima Qiang, I want to meet the Baima Qiang king..."

Having said that, Dong Zhuo turned his eyes and stared at Zhang Xiu.

Zhang Xiu was eighteen years old, and his appearance was dignified and majestic.

Dong Zhuo thought for a while, "Zhang Xiu, I will hand over the five hundred Boroshi under my command to you, and you can take the head of Beigong Boyu to Luoyang. After arriving in Luoyang, first go to see my lion and hand over the head Give it to him, just say that I have not forgotten the agreement with him at the beginning. Ask him to be patient, if there is any problem, go to his father-in-law and Dong Cheng to discuss it."

When Zhang Xiu heard this, he was startled at first, but then he was pleasantly surprised.

"My lord, what will happen after the head is handed over to the young master?"

"Stay by his side, so as to protect him... When Xiping returns to Liangzhou, you will be the captain of the Lizu Army."

Uncle Zhang Ji was very excited.Li Zu is their hometown, Li Zu's army captain, didn't he say that Dong Zhuo would let Zhang Xiu lead the army alone?

Li Zu, when the time comes, my uncle and nephew will be able to return home fully clothed.

Zhang Xiu knelt down on one knee: "The young general swears to die, and he will protect you carefully."
