Chapter 1196: Han Wenyue of the Nine Bends of the Yellow River! 【2】

Still the same eatery as this morning.

After leaving the place where Yuan Feigui was staying, Yimei came to the eatery where she had met Han Sui in the morning.

Han Sui sat opposite Yimei, and sitting on the other side was Han Sui's son-in-law, Yan Xing.

After the Battle of Xiutu Lake, Beigong Boyu and the Qiang tribes that had united with him were almost completely wiped out.

The Huangzhong Yi Cong were dead or injured.

The only ones who survived were Han Sui, Bian Zhang, and Yan Xing.

Of course, the reason Han Sui survived was because he was very lucky.

He was lucky not to have rushed into that encirclement when Duan Yu was ambushed by Beigong Boyu.

Otherwise, given how desperately Duan Yu was fighting at the time, Han Sui would have died.

Fortunately, Duan Yu was seriously injured after fighting Beigong Boyu and was taken away from Xiutu Lake.

It was precisely because of this luck that Han Sui managed to save his life.

Originally, Han Sui had intended to reorganize his forces.

Because at that time, Duan Yu's life or death was unknown.

If Duan Yu had died, Han Sui believed he still had a chance to reorganize, after all, he still had some troops and men left.

However, just as Han Sui was preparing to reorganize, the news of Duan Yu's fake death broke out.

And the Liangzhou gentry who had once funded Beigong Boyu were all exposed to Duan Yu's sight.

All ten clans and eight families were purged by Duan Yu with the speed of a thunderbolt.

Han Sui's entire family, including Bian Zhang's entire family, were not spared; they were all slaughtered by Duan Yu.

And Han Sui also realized that if he stayed in Liangzhou, he would sooner or later be caught by Duan Yu.

Therefore, Han Sui did not hesitate to streamline his men, took a portion of his troops, and left Liangzhou for the Western Regions.

Before Beigong Boyu died, he told Han Sui to find Yimei and gave him instructions.

Han Sui originally didn't want to bother.

But Beigong Boyu had also hidden a fortune.

Since he was preparing to leave Liangzhou, he had to take this money and grain with him; Han Sui himself needed it too.

It was precisely because of this that Han Sui found Beigong Boyu's widow, Yimei.

And Yimei, upon learning that her husband had been killed by Duan Yu, also joined Han Sui.

Women are also a type of resource.

And beautiful women are an even scarcer resource.

Han Sui understood this very clearly, and Yimei seemed to understand it too.

Han Sui's original plan was to go to Wusun or the Northern Xiongnu.

Because Beigong Boyu had said before that those who funded him also included Wusun and the Northern Xiongnu.

So Han Sui wanted to borrow the power of Wusun and the Northern Xiongnu.

Even if he couldn't take revenge, relying on his own abilities, he would at least have a place to stay.

So Han Sui hid in Dunhuang Commandery.

The road was difficult to travel in winter, and it was too cold to leave.

After spring arrived, Han Sui planned to move west.

As it happened, he met the Wusun envoy Yuan Feigui on the road.

After understanding through side-channel inquiries, Han Sui learned the purpose of Yuan Feigui's group.

After analyzing the situation where Duan Yu would go to war with Wusun, the Northern Xiongnu, and the various states of the Western Regions after establishing the Western Regions Protectorate,

Han Sui plotted a hero-saves-beauty scenario.

He successfully sent Yimei to Yuan Feigui's side.

Thereby obtaining more useful intelligence and news that Wusun and Duan Yu were about to go to war.

Wusun is a behemoth of the Western Regions, with over two hundred thousand soldiers, plus the Northern Xiongnu, and dozens of small Western Region countries.

This power made Han Sui see the possibility of revenge.

"You say Yuan Feigui has already listened to your advice to ambush and kill Duan Yu?"

Han Sui's expression was surprised, and he lowered his voice.

Yimei nodded and said: "I followed your instructions and persuaded Yuan Feigui to ambush and kill Duan Yu."

"Good."

"Too good!"

Han Sui clenched his fists excitedly and said: "I originally thought it would take some trouble, I didn't expect this Wusun noble to be so brainless..."

"Of course, you can't blame him for being brainless, because he doesn't know Duan Yu's abilities."

Yimei's delicate brows frowned slightly: "Is it possible..."

"No!"

Before Yimei could finish her words, Han Sui interrupted her.

"I know what you want to say; you want to ask if it's possible for Yuan Feigui to kill Duan Yu."

Han Sui shook his head while saying: "There is absolutely no such possibility. I know you also want to say, with the addition of the Jushi Kingdom's power, can they kill Duan Yu?"

"Impossible!"

"Although saying this might bring up some bad memories for you, I still have to tell you."

"The enemy we are facing is not one that can be described by common sense; any carelessness or luck could become the guillotine on our path to revenge."

"Duan Yu's strength is beyond your imagination, and of course, it is also beyond mine."

"Although I haven't seen Duan Yu fight with my own eyes, the fact that he could survive the tragic state of that battle at Xiutu Lake is a miracle."

Han Sui's gaze was extremely solemn.

"Your husband used tens of thousands of people as bait, entered the game himself, and set up that kind of ambush, yet he still didn't kill Duan Yu."

"I don't believe that this mere Western Region wilderness has weapons stronger than the Great Han's heavy crossbows and bed crossbows that could pose a threat to Duan Yu."

"There are many fierce generals in the world, but as far as I know, the only one who might be comparable to Duan Yu is the Overlord of Western Chu."

"Let alone those hundreds of Wusun soldiers of Yuan Feigui, even if you add all two thousand soldiers of the Jushi Kingdom, it would still be impossible to kill Duan Yu."

Yan Xing, on the side, clenched his fists tightly.

In literature, there is no first; in martial arts, there is no second.

Yan Xing had always believed that the world was vast and there was nowhere he could not go.

But until he faced the young general in silver armor and white robes holding a silver spear under Duan Yu's command, Yan Xing's state of mind was destroyed.

In just a few dozen moves, he was knocked off his horse.

Yan Xing's original goal was to challenge Duan Yu, but he couldn't even beat one of Duan Yu's subordinates.

Also showing unwillingness was Yimei.

Since they couldn't kill Duan Yu like this, how could they take revenge?

"I know what you are thinking," Han Sui said in a low voice: "Duan Yu is indeed powerful, but the people around him, his subordinates, his family, and his relatives are not the same as him."

"Revenge doesn't necessarily mean killing Duan Yu with your own hands."

"It could also be letting him see his subordinates and his soldiers die in front of him."

"It could also be letting him see the Liangzhou he worked so hard to build become a ruin."

"And, since he can be injured, he can definitely be killed."

"Though the Overlord was brave, he could not cross the Wu River; the songs of Chu from all sides played the Overlord's funeral music."

Han Sui's gaze flashed with brilliance.

Yimei's gaze was also thoughtful. ===== CHAPTER 1198 =====
