Three Kingdoms: The opening incorporates Li Cunxiao

Chapter 284 Separation of Han and Ma families

The sound of horse hooves sounded, and Ma Teng's reinforcements finally arrived.

Ma Teng entered Han Sui's military camp and saw Han Sui beside the campfire.

Against the backdrop of the firelight, Han Sui's face was ashen, and Yan Xing's eyes widened as he stood back up on the wooden plank, his intestines and internal organs flowed out to the ground, and he refused to close his eyes.

"Wen Yue, this."

"Brother Shoucheng came at such a coincidence." Han Sui's eyes flickered and he suppressed his anger.

"The thieves were wandering outside the tent at night. I was afraid that the camp would be lost, so I was delayed for a while."

People have selfish motives. Ma Teng did come to save Han Sui sincerely, but he always had to worry about his own safety.

Only by ensuring that his own interests are not infringed can he sincerely rescue his allies.

This is unreasonable.

But after the battle damage statistics were calculated, could Han Sui think so?

Ma Teng's side suffered no losses at all, but his own side lost troops and generals, including the death of Yan Xing, the general he relied on the most.

No matter what, Yan Xing is his son-in-law, half a son-in-law!

He couldn't help but think wildly.

"Okay, very good. The enemy has retreated. Brother Shoucheng, please come back."

Ma Teng didn't know how to comfort him, so he could only retreat: "Please Wen Yue and express your condolences."

No matter how good the two brothers are, they cannot be absolutely of the same mind.

At this time, Han Sui secretly hated Ma Teng.

The fighting in the next few days made Han Sui feel even more strange.

There is still no news coming from the direction of Chang'an.

Ma Teng fought, while Lu Bu led his troops to retreat. Whenever Han Sui went to fight, it was a fierce battle.

Various strange signs appeared frequently, so Han Sui unconsciously paid more attention and sent scouts back to Hangu Pass to investigate. Only then did he realize that the flag had been changed at the Hangu Pass.

Ma Chao cut off the two of them!

In other words, Ma Chao cut off Han Sui's retreat!

Under the tent, Han Sui's general Li Kan asked: "My lord, is there a message for Ma Zhengxi at this time?"

"Idiot, haven't you seen it yet? Ma Teng must have surrendered to Cao Cao. If he knows that the matter is exposed, we will definitely die without a place to die!"

"Not that much."

"No? If Ma Teng doesn't benefit, how can Ma Chao trick him into opening the Hangu Pass gate? You don't want to tell Ma Chao that he is invincible and can capture the pass with the help of cavalry, right?"

"This Ma Zhengxi has a brotherhood with his lord. Logically speaking, if he surrenders to Cao Cao, he should also communicate with his lord."

"Sworn brothers?" Han Sui chuckled twice, and his eyes gradually became colder: "In today's troubled times, only profit drives people's hearts. Brothers are nothing. I'm afraid Ma Shoucheng wants to use Han Sui's head to submit a petition to Cao Cao!"

Report! ~

The messenger came into the tent and knelt down on one knee: "My lord, General Ma has won another battle. Lu Bu retreated twenty miles."

Li Kan also discovered the problem.

Every time Ma Teng fought, Lu Bu simply retreated, retreating again and again.

When it was Han Sui's turn to send troops, he prepared himself for a big battle.

Over the past few days, Ma Teng's side's strength has been well preserved, but his own side has suffered over 10,000 casualties.

Thinking about the incident at Hangu Pass behind the scenes, Li Kan suddenly felt a chill running down his back.

The most feared thing on the battlefield is never the enemy's sharp swords and guns, but the cold knives coming from the allies' backs.

From this point of view, Ma Teng may have a problem, a big problem!

After the messengers retreated, Li Kan added with a gloomy face: "My lord has a clever plan. I'm afraid Ma Teng has other plans. Why don't we invite him to come over the camp to drink, and then kill him with a hidden knife and axe."

Han Sui raised his hand: "No, if I kill Ma Teng, how will Ma Chao explain it?"

Hangu Pass has been lost and the way back is cut off. Even if he kills Ma Teng now, it will only be to vent his anger.

What's more, there are Zhang Wu and Cao Cao behind Ma Chao.

If he killed Ma Teng, Cao Cao would definitely tear himself into pieces just to appease Zhang Wu and Ma Chao.

The decline is irreversible, and you must always leave a way out for yourself.

At this time, no matter how much he hated Han Sui, he did not dare to block his own retreat, and he did not have to risk all his life for a momentary fight of loyalty.

"There is no way to go back to Guanzhong. For our current plan, we can either go south to join Liu Bei or north to join Yuan Shao. There is no other way out. Well, Huainan is a small place and it may be difficult for Liu Bei to live there, so we might as well go north to join Yuan Benchu."

Li Kan gritted his teeth: "When my lord leaves, won't the Xiliang foundation be handed over to Ma Teng?"

Han Sui was also unwilling to give in, but the matter had come to this, and there was no better way:

"There is nothing we can do about it. Ma Chao has conquered Hangu Pass. Now we are alone and there is no hope of returning! We really shouldn't have trusted Ma Teng's dog thief!!"

"When Ma Tengruo comes, I will turn to the north and help Yuan Benchu ​​conquer Yanzhou on the grounds that the war situation in the north is corrupt."

Ma Teng was a straightforward person and did not notice the changes in Han Sui at all in the past few days. After winning the battle, he naturally couldn't forget to share it with his good brother.

After a while, they entered Han Sui's army tent.

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

During the dinner, Han Sui came up with a plan to lead the army northward alone.

"Seeing that we are about to attack Runan, why would Wen Yue go north at this time and follow me directly into Xuchang to welcome the emperor?"

Han Sui snorted secretly.

His expression remained unchanged: "Brother Shoucheng is a good soldier, but Lu Bu is invincible. Brother plans to find another place to get some credit. I hope brother Shoucheng will forgive me."

"Wen Yue and my brother don't belong to each other, so why are you so polite? If you want to leave, I can't force you to stay."

"In this case, I would like to thank Brother Shoucheng for surviving." Han Sui stood up, bowed with his fists, and then waved his sleeves and walked away.

"Wen Yue, what do Wen Yue mean by this?"

Ma Teng became more and more confused as he listened, but Han Sui obviously didn't want to explain to him.

Walking out of the camp, Han Sui took one last look at the northwest with infinite nostalgia in his heart. Order all the troops and horses overnight and head towards Yanzhou.

This time, the mountains and rivers of the northwest have nothing to do with him anymore.

From then on, the emperor's hegemony was in vain, and he could only hide Yuanmen like a hawk!
