Xiaoqi

Yes, a seriously ill person lying on a couch.It was Han Sui, the general of Zhenxi and the prefect of Jincheng.

A few months ago, Han Sui and Ma Teng jointly attacked Xiutu City at night, but they were ambushed by the Wuwei Army, and tens of thousands of troops were besieged in the Wengcheng.When he was in a desperate situation, Han Sui was accidentally shot in the chest by an arrow from the back. Fortunately, Yan Yan, his adopted son, risked his life to save him, and finally broke out of the siege. He finally saved his life and escaped back to Jincheng alive.

When he returned to Jincheng, Han Sui was dying.It was Yan Yan who worked tirelessly to visit famous doctors and finally brought Han Sui back from the brink of death.

Han Sui, who was shot in the back, was both lucky and unlucky.The back arrow hit the left side of the chest and went straight to the heart.Clearly a one-hit deadly arrow.But fortunately, Han Sui's heart position is slightly different from that of ordinary people.He is obese.The body is bloated and wide.The position of the heart is slightly lower than the normal person's position, and it is precisely this difference of an inch that makes him narrowly avoid the bad luck of being shot through the heart.After the war, after careful treatment by more than a dozen doctors, he survived another catastrophe and survived by luck.

However.Han Sui's nightmare followed. The dark arrow that hit him was poisonous, and it was the poison of black horns.The poison has an incubation period of several days.The arrowheads haven't turned black either, so they're less noticeable.But then there will be a sudden attack. Once the toxin penetrates into the heart, there is no cure, and death is inevitable.

Afterwards, Han Sui became seriously ill, and more than a dozen doctors guarded the door of the dormitory day and night, waiting for orders at any time.And the adopted son, Yan Yan, also took great pains to collect all kinds of precious herbs for him, no matter whether they are useful or not, as long as they are supplements that can nourish Qi and prolong life, he will use them all.

In this way, Han Sui was bedridden for a long time, suffering from illness for several months, lingering on his last breath till now.

After several months, Han Sui's health deteriorated day by day, and his fat body gradually became thinner.Now, he is as thin as a stick, with a sallow complexion, severely sunken eye sockets, puffy eyeballs, and a pale complexion.Compared with his previous appearance, it seemed like a drastic change, like a different person.

Being bedridden for a long time made Han Sui's physical functions gradually exhausted, his breathing was difficult, and his speech was also difficult. He could only rely on ginseng soup and herbal medicine to continue his life every day.

After learning that he was hopeless, Han Sui, who had always been cunning and treacherous, went out of his way, and his conscience realized that he usually did two major things.

The first thing he did was to marry his only daughter, Han Ling, to Yan Yan, and the marriage was scheduled for three months later.According to the etiquette system of the Han Dynasty, the wedding period for the emperor to marry a daughter is postponed for one year, for a duke's family it is half a year, for a minister's family it is at least three months, and for a commoner to marry a daughter it is one month.Although Han Sui was seriously poisoned and died soon, he had a good reputation all his life, and he couldn't lose his status before he died.Therefore, he set the date of marriage between Yan Yan and his daughter Han Ling three months later, in order to show his prominent status as General Zhenxi.

The second thing is that Han Sui went to the imperial court and recommended Yan Yan to succeed him as the prefect of Jincheng.It's a pity that when he sent a messenger to Chang'an, there happened to be turmoil in Chang'an, and Li Jue and Guo Si were in charge of Chang'an, so the recommendation letter he sent was simply put aside and ignored.Later, Li Li took over Chang'an, and the emperor returned to court, but Han Sui's memorial slips were still ignored, like a stone sinking into the ocean, and there was no news.

Although he received the imperial edict, Han Sui was forced by his own situation to entrust Jincheng's military and political affairs, as well as military and horse money and food, to Yan Yan.

Tomorrow is Yan Yan and Han Ling's wedding day, but Liangzhou has recently started a war, and Li Li led an army to attack Ma Teng.Han Sui and Ma Teng have known each other for many years. The two fought openly and secretly, and occasionally joined forces to fight against the enemy, but more often they fought against each other.Now that Ma Teng was besieged by Li Li's army, Han Sui knew the truth that once Ma Teng was destroyed, it would be difficult for Jincheng to survive alone.So he decided to send troops to rescue Jicheng and rescue Ma Teng. Today he just wanted to discuss sending troops with Yan Yan.

"Father, since Li Li occupied Chang'an, he has taken over the Xiliang army with full authority..."

Lying on the couch, Han Sui gasped heavily and closed his eyes weakly to listen to Yan Yan's description of Li Li's army. A tall, handsome, young and strong figure could not help appearing in his mind. This person was Wuwei Li Li.

Han Sui has been in Xiliang for more than ten years, and he has met countless young talents, such as Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, and Sun Jian. Although they can be called heroes, they are not among them. Han Sui's Dharma Eye.There are only a handful of people who can really be valued by him, and Wuwei Li Li happens to be the one he admires and values ​​very much.

For more than ten years, Han Sui went through many twists and turns, from being a celebrity in Liangzhou to becoming the leader of the Qiang rebels, and fighting against Zhang Wen, Dong Zhuo and others for several years.Don't fall behind.Afterwards, he was recruited by the imperial court and appointed General Zhenxi, who was comparable to the Sangong, stationed in the hinterland of Liangzhou, occupying Liangzhou, and watching the world as a tiger.He has been on the battlefield for more than ten years, he has never lost a battle, nor is he a person who is devastated, but he finally won and won everything he wanted.but.Since he fought with Li Li of Wuwei, he has been defeated again and again, and he has been defeated repeatedly, and every time he has suffered a terrible defeat, throwing away his helmet and armor.Defeated in embarrassment.

In the defeat of Heilongling, the 10,000 Buqi were defeated.He was chased and killed by Li Li's army for hundreds of miles.In the end, Han Sui fled back to Jincheng with only a few thousand people.In the Battle of Dongshankou, he and Ma Teng led an army of [-]+ to attack Wuwei County and almost killed Li Li, but they were defeated in the end.

Everything can be repeated, but not repeated.

Night attack on Xiu Tucheng.Ma Teng lost his troops and lost his generals, and he was in a state of depression.And Han Sui finally tasted the bad result, he was hit by a poisoned arrow, although he escaped back to Jincheng by chance.But he can only linger on until now, and he cannot escape death in the end.

Listening to Yan Yan's unhurried account of the battle in Liangzhou, Han Sui's thoughts raced and he wandered in memories.

"I just reported that Li Li's army arrived at the city of Ji County three days ago, and sent [-] cavalry to attack Jicheng the next day. The two sides fought for less than half a day, and the Xiliang army broke through the east gate of Jicheng, and then tens of thousands of soldiers rushed to the west. Liang Zhanqi entered the city. Afterwards, the two sides fought fiercely in the city for a long time, and the battle did not end until evening..."

"Ah! Cough cough cough" Dazed Han Sui suddenly exclaimed, and before he could speak, he coughed violently, which made Yan Yan's words come to an abrupt end. and go.

"Yan'er, what did you,,, just say, Jicheng has been breached by Li Lili's army?" Han Sui took a deep breath, pressed his right hand to his chest, and asked with horror on his face.

Yan Yan nodded in astonishment and said: "Yes, it took only one day for Li Li's army to capture Jicheng and defeat Ma Teng's 2 defenders. After the war, Ma Teng, Ma Dai, Ma Tie and others were all captured by the West. The Liang army was captured alive and became a prisoner. More than [-] cavalrymen and [-] infantry of the Ma family army all surrendered to Li Li. Yesterday, the surrounding counties of Hanyang County asked Li Li to surrender, and the Xiliang army immediately went to the counties and counties to take over All cities except Jincheng.

Today, except for our Jincheng County and the westernmost Jiuquan and Dunhuang counties in Liangzhou, which have not yet belonged to Li Li, all other counties and counties in Liangzhou are occupied by Li Li.Five days ago, Li Xian, who was stationed in Guzang City, ordered Li Zheng to lead more than [-] cavalry to the east and occupy Anding County without hindrance. Since Chen Bing and our Jincheng border forced us to send troops to rescue Ma Teng in Jicheng.

Now that Jicheng has fallen, Wuwei Li Xian has added [-] troops, and ordered Li Zheng to lead [-] troops to attack our Jincheng city from the north.On the other hand, Li Li's army in the east with about [-] cavalry marched towards our Jincheng, forming a two-sided pincer attack with Li Zheng's troops in the north, and approached our county with menacing force. "

"Hoo, hoo, hoo!" After listening to Yan Yan's report, Han Sui opened his mouth and took a deep breath, forced his mind to stabilize, and sighed, "Hey, the situation is over! Ma Teng was defeated, and all the Ma's troops returned. Hanyang, Longxi, Beidi and All the prefectures in Anding asked to surrender one after another, and Li Li's unification of Xiliang has been completed. Now, Li Li holds more than 30 soldiers, puts the emperor in his palm, and surrenders Li Jue, Guo Si, Duan Yan, Xu Rong and Hu Zhen and other Xiliang generals are unstoppable! Yan'er, how do you think we should deal with ourselves now?"

"This,,,,,,, the child is only obeying the father's order, please tell the father!" Yan Yan said respectfully after a little hesitation.

Han Sui shook his head with difficulty, and said after thinking: "The matter has come to this point, our father and son have only two ways to go. One is to lead the troops to open the city and ask for surrender, and bow their heads to Li Li in order to protect themselves. In the city, send envoys to discuss peace with Li Li. If he can forgive you and give you the official position and title you deserve, we can still surrender to him. If Li Li refuses our conditions, we will defend the city until it is absolutely necessary. At the same time, he abandoned the city and fled to the Qiang tribe for refuge, hoping to make a comeback. However,,,,,,, the second road must be prepared in advance, and send more gold, silver and money to the Qiang tribe in Jincheng, so that they can respond at any time Let us resist the pursuit of Li Li's army."

Chapter 355 The Death of Han Sui

Outside Yunwu City, twenty li to the east.

Li Li's army camp.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Li Li was in the commanding position, and he waved his hand with a smile on his face to signal Li Zheng to sit down.

"Thank you, my lord, for giving me your seat!" Li Zheng, who was dressed in armor, bowed and bowed, and respectfully responded with a solemn expression.

"Hehehe!" Li Li got up with a smile and went to the steps, sat down happily on Li Zheng's head, and said with a smile: "There are no outsiders here, you and I are the same family, so there is no need to be so formal. The last farewell has not been done until now." It has been more than half a year, brother's aura is restrained, calm and majestic, and he is becoming more and more majestic, congratulations!"

Li Zheng respectfully said with a restrained expression: "Thank you, my lord, for your praise. I am ashamed of myself. I am here to ask my lord for a tassel, and I will be the vanguard to attack Yunwu City. I don't know when our army will attack the city. Please let me know." Down."

Li Li shook his head slightly with a smile, and said: "No rush, postpone the march for a day or two. I heard that the wedding ceremony for my cousin Yan Xing is being held in the city today. On such a festive day, it is not appropriate to use weapons, lest it disturb my cousin's life." Big deal. Hehehe"

"Oh? Yan Yan got married today, I wonder which family he married?" Li Zheng asked in surprise.

Li Li's expression changed slightly, he gradually put away his smile, and pondered: "Yan Yan married Han Sui's only daughter, Han Ling, as his wife today, so he can be regarded as Han Sui's married son-in-law, and he will also take over all the soldiers, horses and food in Jincheng! He is the only flesh and blood left by my uncle. He also informed our army before that the battle of Xiu Tucheng was the credit for his early communication. He is a brother, and he is friendly with our army. He is emotional and reasonable. Today is his great joy Days, I have to give him this face, so I postponed the siege."

Li Zheng frowned slightly when he heard this, and said in surprise: "He wants to marry Han Sui's only daughter? This is a bit strange!"

"Huh? Brother, you might as well speak up." Li Li looked at Li Zheng with a puzzled expression, and said in surprise.

Li Zheng replied: "In the past, Han Sui joined forces with Wang Guo and others to launch a rebellion. He threatened Yan Zhong, a famous scholar in Hanyang, to be the leader of the rebel army. Yan Zhong would rather die than follow, and was forced to die by Han Sui and others. He did not stop doing two things, and killed Yan's family. Yan Yan escaped by chance and lived among the people. As Han Sui's adopted son, he is no different from a servant. The name of adopted son is just a means for Han Sui to win people's hearts. Afterwards, Yan Yan showed amazing talent in learning martial arts, and was gradually valued by Han Sui, relying on him as his arm. So far he has just confirmed the identity of the adopted son.

Judging from Yan Yan's behavior before.He obviously knew that Han Sui was the enemy of his Yan family, so he deliberately stayed by Han Sui's side.In order to be able to kill the murderer who killed his father and family in the future.However.In the battle of Xiu Tucheng, he sacrificed his life to rescue Han Sui out of trouble, and now he is going to marry Han Sui's own daughter.In this way, the relationship between him and Han Sui is too complicated.Han Sui is not only his adoptive father, but also his father-in-law, and also the great enemy of his Yan family.

If Yan Yan never forgets revenge.Why did he risk his life to rescue Han Sui, why not let Han Sui die in the urn?If he had already given up revenge, why did he tell us about Han Sui's attack on Xiu Tucheng at night?In doing so, isn't he inconsistent.Right and wrong, good and evil? "

Hearing Li Zheng's words, Li Li greatly agreed with him, and immediately he said: "Yes! Yan Yan knows that Han Sui is the big enemy of the Yan family, but she often acts unexpectedly, making people unpredictable and unpredictable. I understand what he wants to do. He betrayed the whereabouts of Han Sui and Ma Teng's coalition forces to us, leaving Han and Ma and their troops in a desperate situation, but he sacrificed his life to rescue Han Sui and escaped from the Wengcheng. Now he is going to marry the daughter of his enemy Wife, my cousin is obviously a general, but he has so many thoughts and acts strangely, it really makes people headache!"

Li Zheng thought about it and said: "By the way, my lord, the general suddenly remembered something, I don't know if I should say it or not?"

Li Li was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, and nodded to signal Li Zheng to speak out.

"My lord, do you remember that during the Battle of Xiutu City, General Fan Yong once said that the arrow shot in the back by Han Sui was not shot by our soldiers? Because our soldiers were far away from Han Sui at that time, except for a few good shooters in the army Except for the generals, no one can shoot Han Sui at a super long distance. Most of the generals who are good at shooting in our army follow the lord in Chang'an, and it is absolutely impossible to rush thousands of miles overnight to Xiutu City to shoot Han Sui. In this way, Han Sui's life Hitting an arrow in the back is quite strange, it is very likely that people around Han Sui or Ma Teng's soldiers shot cold arrows in the back and hit Han Sui."

"Oh?" Li Li was startled, and pondered: "The people around Han Sui, or the soldiers under Ma Teng's command? No, the soldiers under Ma Teng's command should not have shot Han Sui coldly! If it wasn't for Ma Teng's prior order, no one would have dared to attack Han Sui. Although Ma Teng is scheming, he acts in an open and aboveboard manner, and would never do such a despicable thing. Could it be that Yan Yan did it?"

Having said that, Li Li Muran and Li Zheng looked at each other, but Li Zheng nodded with a heavy expression, agreeing with Li Li's guess.

Yunwu City, Sheriff's Mansion.

Today is the wedding day of Han Sui's only daughter, Han Ling, and Yan Yan, and the inside and outside of Han's mansion are decorated with lights and festoons, full of joy.

In the front and back courtyards, thousands of servants and maidservants were constantly busy. All the prominent clans and gentry in the city rushed to the county mansion with heavy gifts, not only to congratulate Yan Yan, but also to "congratulate" Zhenxi General Han Sui.

At noon, Han Sui, who hadn't shown up for four consecutive months, was carried into the main hall. With the help of his maid, he presided over the wedding of Yan Yan and Han Ling in person, and officially announced in public that Yan Yan would succeed Han Sui as governor of Jincheng. All soldiers and horses under his command.

Witnessed by Han Sui, a lively wedding went on as scheduled.

But this wedding is destined to be not an ordinary marriage ceremony, with far-reaching significance.First, Yan Yan and Han Ling, the newlyweds, got married, and the lovers finally got married.Second, Jincheng's power change was also handed over at the wedding site. From then on, everything that Han Sui owned before was handed over to Yan Yan.

Therefore, for Yan Yan, this day can be said to kill two birds with one stone, gaining both power and beauty.

The greatest blessing in a man's life is this.
