Chapter 241: No Qiang left in Liangzhou! Liu Wu wants to kill all the Qiang people in Liangzhou!

Chapter 241: Liangzhou will not keep the Qiang! Liu Wu wants to kill all the Qiang people in Liangzhou! !

"These days, our tribe has gathered several groups of Qiang people who fled here from Anding County. According to them, a powerful Han army has indeed appeared in Liangzhou. Wherever they go, the local Qiang people suffer heavy casualties, and some even exterminate their tribe!"

"This must be the army of King Liu Wu of Chu!"

"Haha, over the past hundred years, how many troops has the Han court sent to fight us? But we Qiang people have finally taken root in Liangzhou!"

"Liangzhou is vast, and the Qiang people are even bigger. We are like the weeds in the wilderness, we can never kill them all, and we can never cut them all off!"

"That being said, I heard that even the Prime Minister of the Central Plains is no match for the King of Chu..."

Inside the Longxi County Magistrate’s Mansion, the Qiang leaders from various tribes in Longxi were discussing in low voices.

The news of Liu Wu's army's arrival in Liang Province was not only known to Ma Chao, but the Qiang people who were deliberately let go by Liu Wu also brought the news to their fellow tribesmen in Longxi.

Most of these leaders of various tribes had no fear on their faces at this moment, only excitement!

Because Ma Chao had promised them that as long as they could help Ma Chao defeat King Liu Wu of Chu, they would have whatever they wanted from Liang Province to Guanzhong.

As for whether or not he could defeat Liu Wu...

This is Liangzhou, Longxi!
It’s the Qiang people’s territory!

So many Han people came and so many left, but the ones who stayed to the end were still the Qiang people!
Even if he is as cruel as that old killer Duan Xing, so what?

Now that Duan Xing’s bones have turned into rubble, are the Qiang people still galloping on horseback in Liang Province?
"Everyone..."

A young voice sounded, and the entire hall fell silent in an instant.

All the Qiang leaders subconsciously looked up at the young man in the lead: "Liu Wu has already arrived in Anding County. After passing Anding County and crossing Tianshui, he will reach Longxi!"

"This is a rare opportunity. Can we..."

"General!" A captain rushed into the hall in a hurry.

Ma Chao frowned slowly. Just as he was about to scold, the captain spoke hastily, "General, Han Sui is back!"

Han Sui? ! !

Wow~
Ma Chao stood up suddenly, his face as cold as ice: "Which Han Sui?"

The captain said: "The first lord Shouchenggong made sworn brothers, General Zhengxi, Han Sui, and Han Wenyue!"

This old dog surrendered to Liu Wu behind my back, and he actually has the nerve to come back?

"Okay, okay!" Ma Chao grinned and said, "I will definitely take the old thief's head today!"

……

Tap tap tap~
On the top of the Longxi County city wall, Ma Chao quickly climbed up to the top.

He put his hands on the battlement and looked out...

The dark masses of Xiliang cavalry, stacked up in layers, almost covered the entire area outside Longxi County.

The dense weapons and armor, shining with cold light, make people feel cold to the bone.

A large banner with the word "Han" on it was flying, and under the banner, a man was standing on a horse. It was Han Sui!
If this man had not offered Tongguan, why would he have retreated to Liangzhou in a hurry after the defeat in Chang'an?
If this man had not led the Xiliang coalition forces to join Liu Wu, how could Liu Wu have captured Guanzhong so easily, and how could he have defeated Cao Cao so easily and returned to Chang'an so quickly, forcing him to launch a second expedition to Guanzhong and end it hastily?
“Old thief!” Ma Chao pointed at Han Sui and cursed, “You and my father were sworn brothers, but you betrayed me and surrendered to Liu Xian during the Battle of Tongguan, almost causing me to fall into the hands of Liu Wu…”

"How dare you come to see me again?"

"Since you have deployed your troops today, our two families will fight to the death outside the city!"

Ma Chao was furious and was about to lead his troops out of the city.

"My dear nephew, please calm down your rage." Han Sui said helplessly, "I have my own reasons... I came here today not to fight with you, but to seek refuge with you."

This old villain surrendered to Liu Wu in Tongguan. Now that Liu Wu is at the peak of his power, I'm afraid he doesn't even have enough time to cling to Liu Wu's thigh. How dare he say that he comes to surrender to me?
Ma Chao almost laughed out of anger: "Old thief! Do you really think I'm a child, ignorant and easy to deceive?"

Dang rang~
Han Sui took off the sword from his waist and threw it into the dust. He looked at Ma Chao calmly and said, "This is a long story, and it cannot be solved in a few words. I would like to ride alone, without any weapons, into the city, and talk to my nephew in detail."

This time, Han Sui led tens of thousands of cavalry and marched to Longxi.

But you want to ride alone, without any weapons, into the city to talk to me?

What the hell is this old thief doing?

Ma Chao was hesitant for a moment...

"My dear nephew! You are so brave and brave in Xiliang, are you afraid of an old man like me who is unarmed and has only one horse?"

"What a joke! Let alone you, even if it was your master Liu Zilie himself, I wouldn't be afraid, but I want to make it clear to you..."

hum~
Ma Chao picked up a large bow, slowly pulled the bowstring, and aimed the sharp arrow at Han Sui's chest. He stared at Han Sui and said, "When the city gate opens, if the army behind you dares to move, I will shoot you with one arrow!"

Han Sui nodded: "Don't worry, nephew."

crunch~
The city gate slowly opened, leaving only a gap that was just wide enough for one person and one horse to pass through.

Da Da Da~
Han Sui rode his horse without hesitation and walked slowly towards the city gate.

On the top of the city wall, Ma Chao's bow and arrow changed direction as Han Sui moved...

Until the enemy completely entered the city gate corridor, the Xiliang cavalry outside the city did not move at all?
Ma Chao slowly put away the bow and arrow in his hand, with more and more doubt in his eyes. What on earth did Han Sui want to do?
It can't be that he really came to rely on me?

"Brother..." Ma Dai hurried to Ma Chao's side and said, "Han Sui has entered the city. What should we do with him?"

Ma Chao looked uncertain, and immediately said, "Tell the soldiers to keep an eye on him. Without my order, he is not allowed to move a step!"

"I want to see what this old thief has to say..."

……

"It's not that I want to surrender to Liu Wu, it's just that the situation was like this. At that time, Liu Wu sent someone to say that Chang'an had been taken, and you were also killed by them..."

"Guanzhong has been occupied by Liu Wu, and Cao Cao's army is blocking us from outside. If we, the Xiliang army, do not want to die, we have no choice but to surrender to one of them, Cao Cao or Liu Wu!"

In the Xiliang County Governor's Mansion, in a remote house.

Ma Chao did not comment: "So you led your army to join Liu Wu?"

Han Sui was explaining the whole story to Ma Chao earnestly: "We had no choice but to surrender to Liu Wu. We had surrendered to Cao Mengde before and then rebelled again. If we surrender to him again now, how could he let us go so easily?"

"As a last resort, I can only vote for Liu Wu..."

Han Sui spoke helplessly, but how much could Ma Chao believe the words of this old fox?
"I don't care whether you surrendered to Liu Wu intentionally or were forced to surrender to Liu Wu..." Ma Chao looked at Han Sui expressionlessly: "Your tens of thousands of troops are parked outside Longxi City, but you say you are coming to surrender to me. Isn't that absurd?"

Is it necessary for Han Sui to surrender to me?
Even if he really rebelled against Liu Wu again, Jincheng County was right next to Longxi County. Even if he returned to Jincheng to establish his own regime, he would not have to come to Longxi County to rely on him.

"You must have heard about Liu Wu's army attacking Liang Province..." Han Sui's voice became low. "Do you know why he left the vast Guanzhong area behind and came to Liang Province, where the Qiang people are everywhere?"

Instead of developing Guanzhong, he came to Liangzhou.

Ma Chao naturally thought about this question.

But all his thoughts at that time were focused on how to completely annihilate Liu Wu in one battle. Although he couldn't figure out this question, he just let it go.

At this moment, Han Sui mentioned this matter again, and Ma Chao's eyes flashed: "Do you know the reason?"

Han Sui took a deep breath and said, "That day, Liu Wu entertained all the generals in the army and got drunk. I personally helped him back to the central army tent to rest. On the desk in his tent, I saw a letter, a letter written by Liu Wu to Fengchu Pang Tong..."

Ma Chao subconsciously asked: "What did the letter say?"

Han Sui spoke slowly: "That was a letter in which Liu Wu ordered Fengchu to provide him with military rations. In the letter, Liu Wu talked about the purpose of this expedition to Liangzhou. He only wrote four words in the letter..."

"Liang Bu Liu Qiang!!"
