【Chapter 354】

PS: Thank you for your monthly ticket support from cljsscg book friends, thank you!

The city of Ji has already been lowered, and the gates of Liangzhou are opened, and the counties along the way are exposed under the iron hooves of Li Li's army.

Over the past few days, Longxi County, Anding County, Wudu County and other counties around Longyou surrendered when they heard the news. They submitted memorials to Li Li, expressing their willingness to surrender to the court and requested the Xiliang Army to enter the cities of various counties.

Regarding the surrender, Li Li gave full authority to Jia Xu to deal with it, and ordered his generals to obey the orders of the military advisors, while he himself led his troops to capture Jincheng.

Soldiers are very fast.

On the second day after capturing Ji City, at the beginning of the Chen Shi, Li Li personally led the Qinglong Camp, the troops of the three battalions such as Jinqiwei continued to advance westward and headed straight for Jincheng.

This time, Li Li's army used the power of Dasheng to kill Jincheng. The troops were in full swing and the morale was high. He tried to take down Jincheng County in one go and speed up the process of pacifying the two prefectures of Xiliang.

———————————————

Jincheng County is the capital of Yunwucheng, and the county magistrate's office.

Back hall, in the dormitory.

"Cough cough cough!" A fierce cough suddenly came from the couch.

"Oh, ah, ah——"

After the coughing stopped, the person lying on the couch panted quickly and let out a melancholy sigh.

Obviously, the person lying on the couch was already seriously ill, the cough was dry, the breathing was rapid and heavy, the sighs were weak, and the body was extremely weak.

This is a sign of a long life, which is a sign of terminal illness.

"Don't leave, please lie down quickly. Father is concerned about the war in Hanyang. I will tell you in detail. Don't hurt your vitality."

By the bed, Yan Yan slowly lay down with a skinny Han Sui and said anxiously with concern.

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

A few months ago, Han Sui and Ma Teng joined forces to attack Xiu and massacre the city at night, but were ambushed by the Wuwei army. Tens of thousands of troops were besieged in the urn. When he was in a desperate situation, Han Sui was careless and was shot into the chest by a hidden arrow. Fortunately, his adopted son Yan Yan risked his life to save him. He finally broke through the siege and finally saved his life. He escaped back to Jincheng by chance.

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

Han Sui, who was in the body, was both lucky and unfortunate. The hidden arrow hit the left chest and penetrated directly into the heart, which was obviously a fatal killing arrow. But fortunately, Han Sui's heart position was slightly different from that of ordinary people. He was obese, bloated and wide, and his heart position was slightly lower than that of normal people. It was exactly this inch difference, which prompted him to avoid the misfortune of having an arrow piercing his heart. After the war, after more than a dozen doctors' careful treatment, he survived the disaster and survived by luck.

However, Han Sui's nightmare followed, and the arrow that shot him was poisonous. It was the poison of the black horn. This poison has a period of several days and the arrow has not turned black, so it is not easy to be discovered. But it will occur sharply afterwards. Once the toxin seeps into the heart, there is no cure and it will be saved and cannot escape death.

Afterwards, Han Sui was seriously ill, and more than a dozen doctors guarded the door of the dormitory day and night, waiting for orders at any time. The adopted son Yan Yan also tried his best to collect various precious herbs for him. No matter whether it was useful or not, he would use all the supplements that could nourish qi and prolong his life.

In this way, Han Sui was bedridden for a long time and had been sick for several months, and he survived to this day.

After several months, Han Sui's body was getting thinner and thinner day by day. His originally obese body gradually became thinner. Now, his bones are as thin as a hair, his face is pale, his eyes are seriously sunken, his eyes are bulging, and his skin is yellow and pale. Compared with his previous appearance, it seems like a drastic change, completely different from his two people.

Having been unable to get up for a long time, Han Sui's physical function became increasingly depleted, he had difficulty breathing, and he was also very troublesome to speak. He could only rely on ginseng soup and herbs to prosper his life every day.

After learning that he was helpless, Han Sui, who had always been cunning and treacherous, turned out to be normal and found out that he had done two major things.

The first thing he did was to marry his only daughter Han Ling to Yan Yan as his wife, and the marriage period was set to be three months later. According to the Han Dynasty ritual system, the marriage period of the emperor's marriage was postponed by one year, the family of the Duke and Marquis was half a year, the family of the ministers had to wait at least three months, and the common people had to marry a daughter for one month. Although Han Sui was poisoned and had not been long, he was famous all his life and could not lose his identity before his death. Therefore, he set the date of marriage between Yan Yan and his daughter Han Ling three months later, thereby demonstrating his prominent position as the General Zhenxi.

The second thing was that Han Sui wrote a memorial to the court, recommending Yan Yan to succeed as the prefect of Jincheng. Unfortunately, when he sent a messenger to Chang'an, he happened to encounter the turmoil in Chang'an. Li Jue and Guo Si were in charge of Chang'an, so the recommendation letter he sent was put aside and ignored. Li Li took over Chang'an and the emperor returned to the court, but Han Sui's memorial was still ignored, as if the stones were sinking into the sea and there was no news.

Although Han Sui received the imperial edict from the court, due to his own situation, he still handed over all the political affairs of Jincheng, military, military, money and food to Yan Yan.

Tomorrow is the day when Yan Yan and Han Ling get married. However, the battle in Liangzhou has begun suddenly. Li Li personally led a large army to attack Ma Teng. Han Sui and Ma Teng have known each other for many years. The two have been fighting openly and secretly, occasionally joining forces to fight against the enemy, but more often they fight each other. Now Ma Teng is besieged by Li Li's army, and Han Sui knows the truth that the lips are dead and the teeth are cold. Once Ma Teng is destroyed, Jincheng will not be able to survive alone. Therefore, he decided to send troops to rescue Jicheng and rescue Ma Teng. Today he wanted to discuss the issue of sending troops with Yan Yan.

————————————————

"Reported to my father, since Li Li occupied Chang'an, he has fully taken over the Xiliang army,,,,,,,,,,,,"

Sitting on the couch, Han Sui gasped heavily, and closed his eyes weakly and listened to Yan Yan's story about Li Li's army. A tall, handsome, young and strong figure appeared in his mind. This person was Li Li, Wuwei.

Han Sui has been in Xiliang for more than ten years and has met countless young talents like carp trees crossing the river, such as Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and Sun Jian. Although he can be called a master of men, he is not yet attracted to Han Sui's eyes. There are only a few people who can truly make him value. Wuwei Li Li happens to be the ones he admires and values ​​very much.

Over the past decade, Han Sui has experienced many twists and turns. He has become a famous scholar in Liangzhou to the leader of the Qiang rebel army. He fought with Zhang Wen, Dong Zhuo and others for several years without losing weight. Afterwards, he accepted the imperial envoy and was appointed as the General of Zhenxi, who is comparable to the Three Dukes. He stationed in the hinterland of Liangzhou, occupied Liangzhou, and watched the world. He has been on the battlefield for more than ten years. He has not won a defeat or a person who has never recovered, but he finally won and won everything he wanted. However, since he fought with Li Li in Wuwei, he has been defeated again and again, and has been defeated repeatedly. Every time he was defeated extremely miserably, throwing away his armor and defeated in a mess.

The defeat of Heilongling was defeated by 80,000 infantry and cavalry, and was chased by Li Li for hundreds of miles. In the end, Han Sui only fled back to Jincheng with only a few thousand people. In the end, he and Ma Teng led an army of more than 100,000 to attack Wuwei County and almost killed Li Li, but in the end he was defeated and defeated a lot.

Everything can be repeated again and again, but it cannot be repeated again and again.

The night attack and massacre of the city was fought. Ma Teng suffered losses in his troops and generals, and he was quite in a state of decline. Han Sui finally tasted the consequences. He was poisoned and escaped back to Jincheng by chance, but he could only survive until now and could not escape death.

Listening to Yan Yan's slow-moving remarks on the battle situation in Liangzhou, Han Sui's thoughts flew into his memories.

"Just just now, the army of Li Li arrived at the city of Ji County three days ago. The next day, the next day, 80,000 infantry and cavalry attacked Ji City. Less than half a day when the two sides fought, the Xiliang army broke through the east gate of Ji City, and then tens of thousands of Xiliang warriors rushed into the city. Then, the two sides fought fiercely in the city for a long time, until the battle ended in the evening,,,,,,,,"

"Ah! Cough cough cough——" Han Sui, who was stunned and lost, suddenly exclaimed. He coughed violently before he could speak, causing Yan Yan's words to stop abruptly. He quickly leaned over to take care of Han Sui, fearing that he would not be able to get up in one breath, so he let go.

"Yan'er, what did you say just now? Jicheng has been captured by Li Li's army?" Han Sui took a deep breath, pressed his right hand against his chest, and asked in horror.

Yan Yan nodded in surprise and said, "Yes, Li Li's army only took one day to capture Jicheng and defeat 50,000 defenders under Ma Teng. After the war, Ma Teng, Ma Dai, Ma Tie and others were all captured alive by the Xiliang army and became prisoners. More than 20,000 Ma family cavalry and 20,000 infantry all surrendered to Li Li. Yesterday, the counties around Hanyang County asked Li Li to surrender, and the Xiliang army immediately went to various counties to take over all cities except Jincheng.

To this day, except for our Jincheng County and the westernmost Jiuquan, and the two Dunhuang counties in Dunhuang have not yet surrendered to Li Li, all other counties have been occupied by Li Li. Five days ago, Li Xian, who was stationed in Guzang City, ordered Li Zheng to lead more than 20,000 infantry and cavalry eastward and occupy Anding County without any obstacles. Then, he deployed troops to the border of our Jincheng, forcing us to send troops to rescue Ma Teng in Jicheng.

Now that Jicheng has been removed, Li Xian of Wuwei has added another 10,000 troops and ordered Li Zheng to lead 30,000 troops to attack our Jincheng from the north. The Li Li army in the east had about 30,000 infantry and cavalry advancing towards our Jincheng, forming a force of attacking Li Zheng's troops on both sides, and approaching our county city with fierce force."

"Huh, huh, huh!" After hearing Yan Yan's report, Han Sui opened his mouth and took a deep breath, forcibly stabilized his mind, and sighed, "Oh, the situation is gone! Ma Teng was defeated, and all the Ma family troops surrendered. Hanyang, Longxi, Northland and Anding counties successively requested surrender. Li Li's momentum to unify Xiliang has been achieved. Now, Li Li holds more than 300,000 powerful soldiers in his hand, puts the emperor in his palm, and subjugates Li Jue, Guo Si, Duan Wei, Xu Rong and Hu Zhen and other generals of Xiliang. It is unstoppable! Yan'er, how do you think we should deal with ourselves now?"

"This,,,,,,,,,, I obeyed only my father's orders. Please give me instructions!" Yan Yan hesitated for a moment and said respectfully.

Han Sui shook his head with great difficulty and thought, "At this point, we father and son have only two ways to go. First, lead our troops to open the city and ask for surrender, bow to Li Li to defend themselves. Second, guard the city and send envoys to discuss peace with Li Li. If he can make a fuss and give you the official position and title you deserve, we can still surrender to him. If Li Li refuses the conditions we have proposed, we will defend the city and wait until we have no choice but to abandon the city and flee to the Qiang tribe to seek refuge in order to make a comeback. However,,,,,,, the second road must be prepared in advance, and send more gold, silver, fines, money and grain to the Qiang tribe in Jincheng, so that they can handle us at any time and resist the pursuit of Li Li's army."
