Chapter 241: The Human Heart


"General, the Han thief has led the remnants and went to the direction of Linjing, do you want to continue the pursuit" Outside Huangshui County, after a period of chaos, the battle finally returned to calm, and a small colonel came to Zhang Liao, bowed down and asked.

"No need" looked at the direction Han Sui left, Linjing, which was farther away from Jincheng, shook his head: "Leave five hundred soldiers and horses to defend the city, take over the rear army, and other armies, and follow me to subdue the Sifang City." ” Liu Xie wants Xiliang, not a simple head of Han Sui, before coming, he has already divided the area with Huang Zhong and others, stabilized the area, and he will take over, this was also the sphere of influence of the Ma family before, although he has few soldiers, but it is easier to clean up, as for Huang Zhong's main force, he will continue to advance westward and subdue the land of Longxi, then it is not something that Zhang Liao needs to care about.

Jincheng was handed over to Fang Sheng to take care of, calculating the time, Fang Sheng should have already arrived in the Jincheng area at this moment.

Linjing, when Han Sui arrived with hundreds of remnants, the gate of Linjing City had been closed, and the flag had been changed on the city, and Han Sui could only smile bitterly when he looked at it.

In Linjing City, there are only 300 soldiers, if in the past, as soon as Han Sui's army came, he would take the initiative to open the city and surrender, but at this moment, looking at the county lieutenants on the city who looked at them vigilantly, Han Sui could only smile bitterly.

The wall fell down and everyone pushed it, and the trees fell and scattered, at this moment, Han Sui really felt that the gap between himself and the imperial court was not only Linjing, but most of the counties in Xiliang, and I am afraid that they were all rushing to the imperial court at this moment.

Now he has only a few hundred soldiers and horses in his hands, even if there are only three hundred guards in Linjing, it is not easy to break through, and even if he captures it, what can he do This is just a Linjing county, now back to Jincheng, passing through the county can be a lot, he can't attack one by one, don't say only a few hundred soldiers and horses, that is, there are thousands of soldiers and horses, so all the way over, back to Jincheng, there is nothing left.

What's more, there are still pursuers who may appear at any time, and there is no time for Han Sui to fight all the way.

"Lord, the soldiers killed a war horse, let's eat something first."

Cheng Yin came over with a bowl of broth and handed it to Han Sui, now that the military rations have been lost, the gate of Linjing County is closed, it is not easy to get food, and at this moment, in order to maintain physical strength, he can only kill war horses to satisfy his hunger.

"Let the soldiers eat first, I'm not hungry."

Han Sui squeezed out a little smile on his face, at this time, he needed to rely on these people to work for himself, although he was really hungry at the moment, he also knew that there was a shortage of food now, and the meat of a war horse was not enough for hundreds of people to share.

Sure enough, as Han Sui's words fell, many people around were moved.

Han Sui sighed and looked at everyone: "Now that our army is defeated, it is not advisable to stay here for a long time, everyone will work hard for a few more days, and after returning to Jincheng, you can have a good meal." ” "Thank you, Lord."

The morale has finally stabilized somewhat, and there are hundreds of remnants, most of whom are Han Sui's personal guards, and they are still relatively reliable.

After everyone rested hastily outside the city for a while, they set off again, the court's pursuers didn't know when they would arrive, and now Han Sui just wanted to rush back to Jincheng as soon as possible, and then quickly move the people, how much can be moved, and when it comes to Zhangye, even if the court has the heart to chase, it is beyond the reach of the whip.

After resting for a while, the group set off again, some counties have not yet received the news of the defeat on the front line, so Han Sui and the others can repair it, so that they will not sleep all the way.

Ten days later, Han Sui finally returned to Jincheng with the remnants of the army, and from a distance, looking at the outline of Jincheng in sight, a group of soldiers immediately cheered, even Han Sui, looking at the flag fluttering at the head of the city, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, here, is his foundation.

Cheng Yin couldn't wait to call the door, and it was not like that day in Huangshui City, the soldiers guarding the city quickly opened the city gate after learning that Han Sui had returned.

"Crunch" The heavy city gate slowly opened, and Han Sui suddenly frowned, why didn't Li Kan come out, and in retrospect, the road was too smooth, although the counties along the way refused to let them enter the city, but the chasing soldiers didn't see it at all.

A premonition of non-condescension suddenly came to their hearts, and the slowly opening gates looked like the mouth of a giant beast slowly opening towards them, trying to devour them all.

Cheng Yin had already begun to enter the city with his men and horses, Han Sui did not move, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked towards the city gate, the sun was slanting to the west, and a cold glow reflected the cold forest on the other side of the city gate.

"Don't go into the city" was shocked for no reason, and Han Sui almost blurted out.

Cheng Yin looked back at Han Sui, who was still stopped outside the city and did not move.

Almost at the same time, a loud shout sounded inside the city gate: "Release the arrows" Hearing a muffled sound, a row of hurried crossbow arrows shot out from the city gate, Cheng Yin didn't have time to react, he was shot into a hedgehog by dozens of arrows, and at the same time, a large number of soldiers also appeared on the city wall, and a series of arrows rained down on the soldiers who had approached the city gate.

Hundreds of soldiers screamed and retreated, followed by the sound of horses' hooves, and a general galloped out with hundreds of elite knights.

"Hanoi Fang Sheng is here, the traitor Han Sui, don't get off the horse and surrender" Fang Sheng held a spear, had already slapped the horse and galloped out, when shouting, the weapon in his hand did not pause at all, along the way, the soldiers who were lucky not to be shot were killed by Fang Sheng.

"The general spares his life, I will surrender, surrender" rushed all the way, at this time even the last hope was ruthlessly broken, and the remaining soldiers had no luck, and knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

Fang Sheng ignored those soldiers who surrendered, and led his men and horses straight towards Han Sui.

Han Sui only felt that his eyes were dark, and a mouthful of black blood spit out.

"Lord, run away" Seeing that Han Sui was still sitting on horseback there, he hurriedly pulled Han Sui's reins and turned around with more than a dozen remaining guards.

"Chasing" this time, Fang Sheng didn't mean to let Han Sui go again, he went out this time to make meritorious contributions, he wanted to prove his worth, and it was naturally impossible to let Han Sui run away at this moment.

It's just that the area around this golden city is Han Sui's base camp, although it is occupied by Fang Sheng at the moment, but for the surrounding terrain, Ma Yu is obviously more than twice as strong as Fang Sheng, and after a moment's effort, he rushed into a mountain forest and disappeared.

"Damn" Fang Sheng watched the other party enter the mountainous area and couldn't find a trace, and couldn't help but say angrily.

"General, what should I do now" A partial general stepped forward, frowned and looked at the mountains and forests: "Then Han Sui has a lot of friendship with the Qiang people, if he votes for the Qiang tribe and wants to kill him again, it will be difficult."

"Find some people who are familiar with the terrain of this place to lead the way, divide two thousand people, a team of one hundred people, dig three feet into the ground, and find out that Han Sui for me" Fang Sheng gritted his teeth and said hatefully.

"Well, I'll arrange it at the end."

On the other side, Ma Yu took Han Sui into the mountains and forests for more than ten miles, and after making sure that there were no pursuers catching up, he breathed a sigh of relief, seeing that the sky had darkened, Han Sui had already fainted on horseback, and ordered someone to find a clean leeward place and put Han Sui down.

Someone made a fire, and everyone sat around to bake the fire, and the light of the fire was uncertain, and the faces of the people were uncertain.

"General, is there any hope for him?"

In the suffocating dreak, one of the guards looked up and looked at the horse.

"What do you say" Ma Yu raised his head and glanced at the man, as if he had thought of something, but he didn't scold, just frowned.

"We are also righteous to the lord."

The soldier hesitated for a moment and said: "It's not that I'm not disloyal, but at this moment, Jincheng is gone, even if I go to Zhangye, how can I leave my hometown and stay in Zhangye for the rest of my life?"

Looking at Ma Yu's face, another person whispered: "I'm just a little person, it doesn't matter, but General Ma, you are a general, what about your wife, children, and family members who are willing to live in the golden city in a foreign land for the rest of your life?"

Ma Yu stood up a little irritated and glanced at Han Sui.

He was naturally unwilling, he was not a hero, he couldn't really ignore his wife and family, thinking of his wife and son who were still in Jincheng, he couldn't help but feel an unspeakable sense of irritability in his heart.

"Now that the lord is at the end of his rope, living, for him, it is just suffering, it is better to fulfill us" A guard looked at Han Sui's gaze, and a touch of clarity flashed: "That Zhang Liao once said that those who take Han Sui's head will be promoted to the third level, even if they can't, it is enough to exempt us from responsibility."

"What are you talking about" Ma Yu suddenly turned his head and stared at the guard.

"General Ma, we are also thinking about you, I can't wait for the soldiers, this credit will naturally be counted on your head, I just hope that the general will become more and more prosperous, don't forget about me."

The guard looked at the horse without fear.

A flash of struggle flashed in Ma Yu's eyes, but only he knew that he was moved.

"Why don't I come" A guard looked at Han Sui's sleeping body with ill intentions and took off the ring knife on his waist.

"Stop" Ma Yu snorted coldly, snatched the ring head knife from his hand, looked back at Han Sui, gritted his teeth and walked to Han Sui's side.

"Wende" Han Sui woke up and turned around, and was surprised when he saw the horse kneeling in front of him with a hideous face: "You are" Before he finished speaking, his mouth was already blocked by horse play.

The cold blade of "poof" ruthlessly pierced Han Sui's chest, and Han Sui's eyes widened.

"Lord, don't blame the last general for being ruthless, it's just that we are finished, and if the last general wants to live, we can only ask the lord to fulfill it" Ma Yu covered Han Sui's mouth with one hand, and the handle of the knife in his hand was stirred fiercely, Han Sui's face suddenly distorted, and he reached out and grabbed Ma Yu's arm, but his eyes were scattered.

"Poof" At the moment when Ma Dong's mind relaxed, his vest hurt, and Ma Dong looked at the blade that emerged from his chest in amazement.

"The general forgives the sin, with the heads of the two of you, this credit is enough for us to share."

There was a sinister smile behind him, Ma Yu stared at his eyes, flashed a trace of unwilling, lost his strength, and fell towards Han Sui's already breathless body.

The two heads were cut off, and several guards breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, with these two heads, it was enough to ensure that they had no worries about food and clothing.

Immediately, everyone stopped staying in the mountain, and after simply wrapping the two human heads, they ran down the mountain. t1706231537:
